episode_0092

As I stood up, Lael approached me in a gliding flight.

-Hangil. Are you okay?

“…Yeah. No problem.”

I was in a daze, trying to straighten my half-asleep mind, and then inadvertently burst into laughter.

“No, what kind of ending is this?”

It’s so vain that I can’t tell if I’m just dreaming or if I’m really being attacked by Pandora of the Old World.

If you start a fight, shouldn’t you at least see it end?

Even though it may not be a life-or-death decision, it could be sending out powerful boss monsters or twisting and transforming the ghost story itself to attack with unexpected means… Of course, I knew that would happen and had many ‘imaginations’ stored up.

If it were necessary, I was prepared to sacrifice most of my soul.

“…good things are good things.”

All of the passengers who were hostages would have woken up from their dream safely.

I also lost nothing except for some of the soul I sacrificed to summon the ‘Imagination Summoner’.

However, since the ending is awkward, the feeling of frustration is greater than the sense of accomplishment of having accomplished something.

-Hangil. Why are you doing this?

“Rael. Are you okay? They got away too easily. Could it be that they have another ulterior motive?”

-is that so? Umm…

Rael thought for a moment and tilted his head as if he was puzzled.

– Didn’t they simply realize the difference in power between themselves and Mr. Hangil and retreat? I don’t see anything that could be considered a problem.

“…okay?”

When she said that, I had nothing to say.

“Use…”

When I think about it, I think I escaped without any clear ending when I was kidnapped by the Pandora branch of Salvation in the past. Could that be Pandora’s strategy? Are you trying to make it difficult to relax by leaving you feeling uncomfortable and uncomfortable?

Otherwise, is it possible that the organization called Pandora of Salvation is a lot more shabby than we thought?

“Ha…I don’t know.”

Whatever it is, it’s okay because one thing has been resolved.

As Rael said, if he knew for sure my strength, he wouldn’t attack me hastily.

“…Oh right.”

After being dazed for a moment, I remembered the constellation community and a hologram window appeared in front of me.

[G-088 Title: Oh, I missed it. What should I do with this?]

“Let’s look at this first.”

-What is it? Did 088 make another post?

“Yes. Come here. Let’s see together.”

When I pounded the spot next to the bed, she stared at me for a moment with a red face and then sighed softly.

-…Hangil. Are you doing this on purpose?

“Huh? What?”

-This is shameful. Really…

While grumbling something, she quietly approached the seat next to her and looked up at the Constellation Community window with her face close to her.

I stared at that neat and pretty side face and inadvertently opened my mouth.

“But Lael, hasn’t the amount of skinship decreased since ‘Space of Nothing’?

-yes? Well, was that so?

“Yes. You touched my butt and sexually harassed me there. Are you tired of my body now?”

-Dae, what on earth are you talking about!? Where do you see lines like that and imitate them!? When you say that, it makes me sound like an animal with nothing but sexual desires!

“It wasn’t?”

-Absolutely not!

She shouted pointedly, grabbed my chin and turned me towards the Constellation Community.

-Quickly click on the post! See what it says!

“Hehe, I understand.”

After taking a moment to admire her bright red face, I clicked on 088’s post.

[G-088 Title: Oh, I missed it. What should I do with this?]

[Content: (Photo of a round eye falling on the dirt floor)

I’ll tell you in advance so that there are no misunderstandings, but I haven’t found the voiceless dimension yet. These clever people pulled out the bait skill I had planted and ran away. First of all, this location is District 69… but there seems to be some kind of interference. I found a trace, but it’s not easy to track.

Don’t worry though. Because there are few beings that can escape my eyes.

It’s a little annoying, but that’s all. I’ll definitely find it someday. I hope you trust and wait for me.]

[G-380: Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie]

[G-123: A human from a voiceless dimension pulled out the skill implanted by the constellation and ran away?? Hahaha, yes, you will say so hahaha you idiot hahahaha]

[G-189: Ugh, this is a pattern I’ve seen a lot of times somewhere… isn’t it? 088 Aren’t you betraying yourself too? You found a silent dimension, but you’re not hiding it, right?]

┗[G-088: It’s not really like that…believe me]

[G-224: I believed it, I believed it, I believed it, I believed it, I believed it, I believed it, I believed it]

┗[G-088: No, really believe me. If I find the silent dimension, I will share the coordinates…]

“hmm…”

It looks like 088 is having a lot of trouble tracking us down.

“It’s a real monster…”

-Who are you talking about?

“Director Romenel. I didn’t think you could resist the real Constellation’s pursuit. What exactly is it? First of all, it doesn’t seem like you’re an ordinary human…”

-Hmm…surely, her majesty is too great to be considered human. It almost feels like a constellation has descended to earth.

“Ahaha. I wish it were that way. If you have a strong back, you won’t have to shiver.”

However, speaking from the perspective of having experienced the constellation directly, it is far from enough to call Romenel a constellation.

Not only the status, but also the soul, karma, and even existence.

After looking through the comments for a while, I found 666’s post.

[G-666 Title: Some bastard took advantage of my trials without permission and stole my power. Who is it? From what I can see, he has been taking it continuously, but when he says good things, he should turn himself in.]

-I guess Hangil is the culprit.

The reality was so sad that I couldn’t bear to say no.

“Ha…I really don’t want to press it.”

After sighing softly, I made up my mind and gently touched him.

[G-666 Title: Some bastard took advantage of my trials without permission and stole my power. Who is it? From what I can see, he has been taking it continuously, but when he says good things, he should turn himself in.]

[Content: My points and powers have been gradually disappearing for some time now? It’s such a small amount that it’s not noticeable, but it makes me so hot that I can’t stand it. When you have really good words to say, turn yourself in. I forgive you now.]

[comment]

[G-088: You stole the points and powers? That’s not an easy task… Did you miss out on one of the constellations you wore?]

┗[G-666: That’s right. There were so many constellations and some overlapping that I couldn’t pinpoint which one it was. Moreover, it was a coincidence that I found it by taking it bit by bit, as if a real rat was eating it.]

[G-515: You bastard, how many times have I told you not to write in the constellation community?]

┗[G-666: Yes~ I will keep using it~ What can you do? What can I do other than swearing?]

[G-433: Hahaha, it looks like one of the constellations went to harm him.]

┗[G-666: Is that you?]

[G-671: Isn’t this going to lead to another dimensional war? Then it would be really fun lol]

┗[G-339: If we can’t find the starless dimension, we’ll have to go to war haha. Just seeing that will make the boredom go away]

“…Rael. What will happen if the culprit is discovered to be me?”

-Well… given 666’s personality, it would be difficult to die without pain, right?

“……”

I might have to find a means of suicide at the [Points Store].

There are all kinds of things, so there must be an item or skill that can overcome the constellation’s interference and allow you to die without pain.

“Huh, the only consolation is that I don’t have to worry about getting caught right now… huh?”

In the corner of my vision, a blurry silhouette of a stranger appeared.

“!?”

I was so startled that I got up from the bed.

-Hangil? Why are you doing this?

“Uh, no…”

I looked in the direction of the veranda, where there was clearly a human figure, but all I could see was a low night view of the city center with nothing in it.

“I thought I saw something that looked like a person… I guess it was just my mood.”

-You seem tired. Get some sleep. It’s already 1 am.

“I just woke up from a nightmare, so all the sleep was gone…”

-No. I read somewhere that the time between 10 PM and 2 AM is when hormones are most actively secreted. Efficient sleep is a tonic that can kill three birds with one stone: recovery from fatigue, skin care, and health management.

“Rael. Don’t you think you’ve adapted too well to modern civilization? Where on earth have you seen anything like that?”

-I just watched a few videos related to health.

“You can’t believe all of that. Most of it just attracts aggro with unverified information.”

-Even so, it’s common sense that going to bed early is good for your health, right? Now, go ahead and lie down.

As she was lying on the bed, smiling and waving her hands, I literally ended up lying next to her as if she was possessed by a ghost.

“But you know, Rael.”

-yes. Why are you doing this?

“I…I’m definitely not saying this out of spite, but isn’t it a little strange that a man and a woman who have confirmed their feelings for each other sleep in the same bed and nothing happens?”

-……

When she glances at me with her eyes wide open, I flinch and my shoulders tremble.

-transformation.

“I won’t deny it. But compared to the ghost who is said to corrupt males through ear contact, wouldn’t it be like a medicine?”

-Ugh…! Come on, fall asleep quickly!

She blushes and pulls my cheek with a stern expression.

“Ugh…! Honestly, I think this is very unfair. Only Rael can touch it as he wants! Let me touch it as I want too!”

-…I’ll hug you, so just fall asleep peacefully. If you touch anything strange, he will get angry.

“It’s too much…it’s almost like torture.”

Lael, who didn’t respond to my complaints, hugged me tightly, buried his face in his arms, and closed his eyes.

Warm body temperature, pleasant texture, and sweet scent.

It was an unbearable temptation, but I tried to suppress it and forced myself to sleep.

***

Pandora of the Old World was a kind of union where several organizations came together for their own interests and benefits.

The same was true for ‘Marchen Walker’, an organization created by people who pursue dreams and fantasies and long to live within them.

“Aaaah! It’s ruined! It’s just ruined!”

Every time her thick brown hair shakes, white powder falls like snow.

“Boss. I’m getting dandruff, so please stay still.”

“Noisy! You’re the same as me for not washing up!”

“I still wash once every three days, right? It would be difficult if you treated me the same way as the boss.”

When Baek Si-yoon frowned at the adjutant’s words and glared at him, he quickly looked away.

“Anyway, what happens now? The mission failed…”

“Does it matter now!? I can’t use the ‘Monkey Train’ ever again!? That monster will be taken care of by the other monsters of Pandora of the Salvation! Argh! How on earth do I kill that damn spider robot!?”

She looked at a member of the organization sleeping in one corner of the office as a ‘kaleidoscope that sees dreams’, a supernatural phenomenon, and let out a scream.

The fearsome spider robot was taking over the ‘Monkey Train’ ghost story, herding its babies at this very moment.

“Is there a way? We have our limits when it comes to interfering with dreams…let’s just shut it down, right?”

“How can you say that so easily!? Don’t you know how convenient the ‘Monkey Train’ is as a supernatural entity!? The convenient means of transportation that connects dreams and reality has disappeared!”

“I know. I know, but there’s no way.”

“Ugh…if you ask Sim Han-gil…”

“I would be happy to help you.”

“Well, then, how about requesting support from Pandora of the Salvation!? I think just Averill Hinds would be enough!”

“Well, will a human who is busy with the kidnapping of the ‘Scouter’s’ clone come to help? There is some saying that we will soon clash with the Bureau… and we even failed the mission. Well, I don’t know if we have to pay a huge price. “Boss, do you have money?”

“…Nothing. Ugh…!”

Baek Si-yoon, who was twisting her body with a painful expression, soon fell limp.

“If only I could buy holy water…”

“Wake up from your dream.”

“Damn it… I can’t do it. ‘Monkey Train’ is closed for the time being.”

Baek Si-yoon, who was in tears, sighed in a weak voice.

“Your income will decrease for a while. Damn it…”

***

For a few days after I dreamed of the ‘monkey train’, my daily life was peaceful and leisurely in its own way.

“……”

Except that seeing blurry human figures has become more frequent.

-Hangil. Have you seen it again?

Rael approaches with a worried look and strokes his face.

“Yes. I saw it, but…is it because of my mood? I felt like we were getting a little closer.”

-Uhm, I don’t understand. First of all, I don’t think it’s a ghost…

“What you say is very believable. So is it a type of hallucination?”

-Didn’t you set a barrier with the Holy Grail? Is the organization called Pandora of Salvation great enough to penetrate the power of the Holy Grail?

She pointed to the shining chalice in the center of the room.

As the human silhouette continued to appear in the corner of my vision, I immediately set up a barrier, but it had no effect, so I couldn’t understand why.

In addition to ‘Undetectable Absolute Restraint Heanna’, ‘Guardian Manish’ had even been summoned in this room.

“Kwaik, kuik…”

A fist-sized Manish walking around bouncing around.

This guy is very cute because he pays special attention to his appearance.

If my imagination is applied correctly, it is almost impossible to do something to this house where ‘Guardian Manish’ is located.

This is because he does not allow any ‘intrusion’ including spiritual abilities, curses, telekinesis, magic, and anything else with the purpose of harming me and Rael.

Of course, I can’t say it’s perfect, but…

“Well, I don’t know. Maybe it’s great, maybe it’s not…”

-What did Noeul say?

“It is said that it is not yet part of the Management Bureau, so at best it can deploy a few surveillance personnel. It is impossible to support supernatural entities.”

-That…that’s too much.

“You can’t say that. Noeul also wanted to help if possible, even breaking the procedures and rules. That’s why I refused. Because I didn’t want to burden her that much.”

-Sigh…Then back to the main topic, Han-gil, what exactly is the human identity that only your eyes can see?

“Hmm, I don’t know. I don’t know. First of all, he looks like a man… huh?”

I shook my shoulders without realizing it.

Because suddenly a translucent woman came into view.

She was staring through the veranda window.

The woman, with a complexion as pale as a corpse, a crushed torso with internal organs spilling out, and sparse teeth, slowly approached me with a smile mixed with malice.

“Rael! This time I see another woman…!

“Kwiik!”

Paaa!

-Kaaa!?

“Eh?”

As soon as ‘Guardian Manish’ roared, the unidentified woman screamed and scattered on the spot.

I couldn’t even get over the veranda window.

-That was just an ordinary ghost. Manish does his job well.

He looked dejected at Lael’s words.

It seems that Pandora of Salvation has launched another attack.

“hmm…”

…But then, what exactly is that blurry silhouette that still appears in the corner of my vision? Is this also a type of attack?
