SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

proverb.

(2) “Are you so sure? You're not going to kill yourself?" "Yeah." I nodded.

"You could have blitzed us by erasing Inkigayo earlier.

Black Dragon Zhu might have lost one hand and one of my body might have flew off too.

I got the perfect timing like that.

… Did you deliberately make footsteps to let them know you were there?”

“Hmm.”

“At the end of the day, it’s a threat.

It's just a warning.

[If something like a purge happens, I will never sit down].

He only showed such a warning to me, no, to the Black Dragon Lord.”

"......." "Because the old man and I have already established a trusting relationship like steel." The tension surrounding the four sides is still strong.

I smiled and approached the sword castle.

“Boy! Gongja Kim! do not go! You should stick with me, you idiot!”

Naturally, the Black Dragon was terrified.

“You don’t know what I’m talking about? If you stick with me, you won't be able to use teleportation or not! Oh, Gongja Kim! really! That bastard!”

Behind his back, the Black Dragon Joo got mad at him by asking if he was crazy.

The funny thing is that the angry sound is getting closer and closer to my back.

In other words, while the Black Dragon Lord was angry at me not to go, he was chasing me diligently.

To a swordsman who has never missed the first place in the ranks for over ten years.

“… … Uh huh.”

It was the time when the swordsman was watching me.

"haha." A smile escaped the old man's wrinkled lips.

“Uh-huh! haha! Hmmm...

… .

Hahaha!" At the sudden burst of laughter, I and Heukryongju also stood up.

We turned our heads and exchanged glances, asking if we understood what was going on.

But the Black Dragon Lord only shrugged.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

The old man's laughter only increased.

As if he had seen something he would never see in his lifetime, as if he had witnessed a truly amazing spectacle, Geomseong grabbed his stomach and laughed out of proportion to his body.

Every time he smiled, his white, well-groomed beard trembled softly.

“… … Do you have dementia?”

Black Dragon Lord came to me with a disgusted expression on his face.

I coughed.

“Should I contact the pharmacist and ask him to make some medicine for dementia?”

"Ah.

After all, pharmacists are your line...

.

How is it that only promising prospects who are doing so well are left out? I think it is necessary to create a penalty surcharge system for slaughtering talented people.”

“Something strange about that system… .”

As you can see from the conversation between Black Dragon and I, the laughter of the swordsman continued for a really long time.

Finally, the swordsman stopped laughing.

“What made you so funny?”

“How could I pass without a smile? young people.

Ahae, the master of the Black Dragon and the Black Witch, who was cold-blooded in everything and never hesitated to kill the person to be killed, is so concerned about your safety.”

Ah.

My title was changed from the four kings to the young people.

It is better to be called a young man rather than a four king.

I feel much more at ease.

How does it feel to be treated like grandchildren by your grandfather? There was something pleasant feeling in the sound of [Young Man] in the sword castle.

“I am… … I was worried that you might change anyway.”

The swordsman was speaking.

“You now belong to the highest level of this tower, both in name and reality.

Being friends with the 5th guild leader is natural enough to be accepted.”

“……”

“Young man.

I was worried that you might get [bad influence] from the guild leaders without your knowledge while hanging out with them.”

"What?" The Black Dragon was furious.

“A bad effect? How do you look at us and say things like that?”

“Are you offended?”

“Is that good? What are you so good at!”

The Black Dragon Lord exposed his teeth.

It was an expression of wanting to bite the nape of the swordsman.

“While we were all carrying out a great purge, we were all alone, pretending to be good-looking and noble! If he had resigned as the vigilante leader, he would spend the rest of his life in a quiet hermitage, and he would also kill a hunter suspected of being a murderer! You sound like a crazy inspiration!”

"......." "People have to be shy.

huh? What are we doing, a purge of evil, and what you're killing is the execution of a dark hero? Why don't you buy a bat mask or something? No, even a hero wearing a bat mask doesn’t kill people, right?”

He felt desperately how much of the old feelings he had for the swordsman had accumulated.

It was a storm of criticism that would go green because everyone would get tired of hearing it, but the swordsman didn't blink an eye.

I just didn't care, listened silently, and then just threw out a word.

“The Black Dragon Lord is a human person.”

Anastasia paused.

“… … What?" “Most of the residents living in the tower know the Black Dragon Lord as a cold-hearted monarch.

A woman who poisons silence without anyone knowing.

An iron-blooded ruler who sprinkles ganja all over the city and hears everything that happens in the tower.

An empress who will coldly cut off anyone who blocks the path ahead.”

"......." Heukryongju clenched his fists.

Her lips were trembling, and she didn't know if the old man was doing this to make fun of him or if he had some other trick, so he felt like he couldn't handle it.

“But, see the woman here.”

The swordsman released his hand from the hilt.

And he pointed to the black dragon with an empty hand.

“He’s just an infinitely human person.”

"......." "I rejoice when I reduce meaningless sacrifices.

Tears are shed at the inevitable sacrifice.

We are outraged by corruption and incompetence, we celebrate hard work and perseverance, and we honor heroes who achieve achievements.”

Up until this point, Geomseong laughed out loud.

His eyes weren't smiling as much as for a moment now.

Moon-like eyes passed Black Dragon Ju and me.

“Even though he was a powerful man who assassinated and purged many people.”

“……”

“Young man.

Black Dragon Lord is a human person.

So I had no choice but to worry about the young man.”

The old man spoke softly towards me.

But the tone of the words he spoke to me was firm, and his white eyebrows were firmly established.

“Usually, people say that if you take off one eyelid, you become human.

This old man thinks the exact opposite.”

"......." "If anyone wears only one mask, they all look human." I stayed silent.

The sound of the festival could still be heard from beyond the wide rock where we were standing.

Doug, doug! Dur! Even the drums were prepared from where they were made, and the Jihoon tribe beat the drums with excitement.

All the races were drunk while drinking the alcohol that the fairies gave for free.

“That is correct.”

Black Dragon Master, Heretic Inquisitor, Count, and Doksa.

There must have been a lot of blood on his hands.

Even the old man right in front of me was like that until he met me and changed.

"......." Raviel too.

If, for some reason, I die a complete death.

if it disappears Never, ever, ever again, if you can never get me back.

As she completes me, I complete her as well.

When one of them disappears, what is left is the wreckage of something broken.

A completely frozen heart.

It doesn't take many reasons for a person to break down.

“But, it’s okay.”

I looked straight into the old eyes of the sword castle, "It's okay if I'm alive." "......." "Anastasia always tries to choose the easy way.

She says she can't help it.

But, if I'm by her side, Anastasia will think about it one more time.

If I ask for it, she'll think twice more.

Calm.

If I say absolutely no, even if I sigh, I will pass on my thoughts.

“……”

“The other members are the same.”

I looked down at the festival, dozens of tentacles of the Sanwa made a net and carried the Inquisitor on the hangare: "Ahaha! Haha! Awesome! This is a great ride!" I could hear the heretic inquisitor laughing all the way here.

The countes having tea time with the fairies, and the paladins swimming with the new tribes were also rare to see.

Chiyo!] I'd say the same thing, because he's a kid who only knows the easiest, simplest, and surest way.

But if I ask him to think about it again...

he'll think again.

That kid." “……”

“You said that if anyone puts on a mask, they disguise themselves as human beings.

I walked right in front of the sword castle.

If someone drew their sword, one of them would surely die.

From there, I looked straight up at the sword castle and said, “Old people are no exception.”

"......." 'After meeting me, the old man stopped relying on his skills to kill murderers.

He said he would trust his own eyes." "......." "It's not a mask, bluff, or prettiness that makes a person human.

Old man.

It is the other person who is always by your side that makes a person a human being." I raised my hand and grabbed the object in my arms.

The lily-scented handkerchief that Raviel gave me.

I held the white handkerchief small so that no one could see it.

“I am that kind of person to Anastasia, and Anastasia is that person to me.”

"......." "And I want the elderly to be like that too." There was silence.

The sound of cheers and laughter from afar reached our little ears and lingered, especially the high laughter of the Inquisitor.

There was no sound from the jungle forest surrounding us.

The old man opened his lips, "You are already one of those things to me." Yes, my heart is rejoicing.

I smiled softly, "I think I'm lucky." "You taught me deeply that [I could be wrong].

This time, you showed me that [a person like the Black Dragon Lord can change].

Every time I meet you three times, I change once.

You are more than a good friend, you are a good teacher.”

No.

That's a bit exaggerated.

In the first place, this old man is a bit overdone.

He's too threatening, too warning, too emotional, too much praise, anyway, it's all too much.

He's wearing a suit, so his appearance is neat.

"But young man, there is a fatal flaw in your words." "Yes?" I tilted my head, “Is that a glitch?”

“Um, I could call it a loophole or a weakness.”

The swordsman nodded, "That means that when you die, everyone around you will return to the way they used to be, no, worse beasts than they used to be." It was the same thing as the princess once said to me: "The Black Dragon Master who spoke to you.

Inquisitor.

Now, these hundreds of warriors are watching you and me closely and holding their swords so that they can attack at any time...

All of them...

, even if not as much as your father-in-law, you will lose heart.

You will become a beast that devours the world.”

"so." Touk, the swordsman pounded my chest lightly, where the heart was located: "If you want us to remain human, young man.

Above all else, you must value your own life." “No matter what.

At any cost, you must protect your own life.

That is the task of those who dare to lead the Inquisitor into the path of humanity, the responsibility of those who have brought the Black Dragon Zhuo as a friend, and the responsibility of the young man I have ensured not to slaughter a single person in the last few months.”

“… … Yes." I nodded slowly.

It was a fact I already knew, but nevertheless, I promised myself one more time.

“Never, never leave.”

"never?" “… … We will do our best.”

"Well.

okay.

That would be the most sincere promise you could make.”

Geomseong then smiled playfully.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t trust people more than the Black Dragon Lord.

From a young age, humans have been a bit unreliable and sometimes contemptuous, so I've been told by Macalister why you don't believe in humans so much." "......." "The promise the young man made now...

… I don't think it'll hold up very well.

no.

On the contrary, I have a feeling that it will definitely be violated.

Well.

I hate to paint my face myself, but it’s also my specialty to correct this ominous feeling right away.”

huh? "Four King" "Yes?" I heard the sound of the grass being lightly crushed.

The swordsman knelt down in front of me.

"I want to be your bodyguard." "......." Yes? "I want to become your bodyguard, protect your life, and protect the humanity of those around you forever." The old gentleman winked in his left eye.

Despite his young age, his eyes matched amazingly well.

It was a wink that would have made people cry when he was young.

“I am a retired man who is well beyond the average retirement age of bodyguards.

This poor old man Will you hire me?”

No, sir.

You are the former chairman of a chaebol family, and you are currently the number one swordsman in the ranks.

Why does such a person act as my bodyguard!? 273.
