SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

First floor.

「Come when you tell me to come.」 「Come, if you make a joke, shake it in front of your nose, and if you tell me to open a bag of potato chips instead, I will open it instead.」 「Of course, you guys are telling me any lies.

I can't do it, and I will always have to tell the truth.”

“Where is that? If you try to cry, then you will cry.

“You have too many ears to talk here.

Go somewhere else.”

It was a sensible suggestion.

We left the square.

Well, even if I left, I just moved to a cafe that was attached to the edge of the square.

'It's been a long time here.' This cafe was the first place we met.

The place that held the first meeting and recognized me as the deputy head of the 5th guild.

It can be said that it is a place with a deep history in its own way.

Originally, the world's most famous franchise, the Green Star Octopus Foot Mermaid Queen, occupied this place.

But at some point, it turned into a cat cafe.

“Oh, come on! Wow! Dog lord!”

More precisely, it has changed since today.

The hordes of cats I had in the Geumcheon World, and the Nyangnyang Corps, which seemed to be [cats with gold coins] no matter how much I looked at them, rushed out to the entrance.

“Wow! All of us are so moved by the master’s visit that we are unable to aim at our bodies!”

“Ah, so Shin has already fallen to the ground because he couldn’t aim his body… … !”

“I built the Count Beercheonga with a heart for the owner of the dog, Meng!”

The cats were drooping in a line and prostrated themselves.

He bowed his head, but only his tail protruded and rumbled fiercely.

By the way, the reason why the cats do not nyangnyang is because the earl ordered it to do so.

"Hmm." The Count covered the lower coffin with a fan.

eyes were smiling “The hospitality skills are not bad.

Well, his name is Sangsin (商神), but he shouldn't be able to do basic things like this.

Let me guide you to your seat.”

“Wow! I'll see you right now!" The cats stood up and took the lead.

We arrived at a window seat.

It looks like you can pay for coffee just by sitting there, and it is truly the most luxurious hot spot in the store.

And it was literally a hot spot.

“I was warming up the table in advance for the dog owner to come! Woof woof!" Because the cats were already sitting on the chair one by one.

“If the body temperature of our buttocks can warm the master’s cold body even a little, it is truly an honor for three lives! Wow!”

“Come on, sit down, Master.

All of us want to serve the dog owner soon!”

“All the other guests were chased away.

Don't worry! I gave them 10 gold coins and politely asked them to leave, so the guests were happy too!”

“Surely they will be delighted to realize that their haphazard life has contributed to the comfortable daily life of the Count! Woof woof!" "What the… … ." I shuddered.

"I've never seen or heard of anything so humble..." "I wondered where I had to use them to get compliments on how well they used them.

Come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be any punishment other than being petted forever by humans who looked down on them so much.

So I bought a cafe." “As far as I know, the price of land in this cafe is the highest in the tower….”

"What.

If it’s money, it’s enough to rot.”

We took a seat by the window.

In other words, this was a cafe built in a square.

The cats controlled entry and no one followed us, but outside the window, passersby could see us.

Passers-by took pictures even through the windows, waving their arms and shouting.

As I waved my hand with a slightly awkward smile, there was a momentary explosion of cheers, and even the soundproofing glass trembled.

scared.

“Wouldn’t it be better to sit in a more cornered seat… … ?”

"no." The Black Dragon Master flatly refused.

“Do you know how long you have been away? I'm not going to tell you to spend 90 out of 100 days in Babylon.

Even if it is, I have to stay at least 30 days.

you are like a king There is no worse leader than a king who has vacated his throne.”

“So, did you come to the cafe on purpose? .”

"Yes.

At least you need to stand out when you're on the first floor.

Rather than having a meeting in an unknown place, it is better to allow the citizens to watch it.

Isn't it reassuring to feel that the highest-ranking hunters are living close to you?" After all, is this also part of image management? Anastasia, unlike me, waved her hand with a smile that was not very skillful.

Moon Moon Moon! The windows shook again.

Truly, you are a flawless Black Dragon Lord.

“Hey, you might be wondering why I remember the heavenly floors?”

The Count went straight to the point.

“… … Yes.

I wonder.

I honestly don't understand.”

“As you know, I kneeled [the cat with gold coins].”

In fact, under the chair where the Count was sitting, four cats knelt side by side.

I knew that this was the Count's own gag of conversion, but he did not respond.

"Twitter." Anyway, the cute taste is not good, and the Earl fanned it.

“I forced Sangsin to obey him.

But, in fact, I was aiming for something else.

To hide an animal, I had to create a forest and hide it.

For me, absolute obedience was a kind of forest.”

“Then what was the beast?”

“You can never lie to me.”

When I heard those words, I recalled my memories: "Of course, you cannot lie to me, and you will always have to tell the truth." The Count shook his head once to see if he knew what he was doing.

Slowly, the earl's fan was folded: "Did [the cat that bit the gold coin] lose his memory?" I blinked, “Yes?”

"A simple question.

[The Primordial Staff] can distort the memories of the Hunter and the constellation.

So, simply thinking, it would seem that [Cat with Gold Coins] would also lose their memories of the Heavenly Layer and the Pillars.

However, I When I heard about it, I suddenly thought about it.”

The Count pounded the table with a tuk, tuk, and fan tip: "[I can't say that]." Cats lying on the ground pricked up their ears: "Wow! You're right, you're right.

We're in a cooperative relationship with [Primordial Staff]! When the pillar sends its soul, we accept it.

The other constellations are Even if we can't remember the pillars, we can't help but remember them as much as we, the cooperators of the heavenly floors!" "……indeed." I felt like I had grasped the full story: "Nisha lost her memory, but her upper body seems to have retained it.

Then, Nisha asked the cat what was going on and found out what was going on.

It's impossible to lie.

Nisha said I realized the full story of all the incidents.”

“Oh my God.

Now, you two have started calling each other by their real names….”

Next to us, Anastasia muttered in admiration.

No, it just seemed ridiculous.

The Count shrugged and picked up a cat and put it on his lap.

“Wow, wow… .”

"Well.

That's right.

But that alone was a bit lacking in certainty.”

The Count stroked the cat's head.

babble.

Like a mortal being petted by a mythical monster, the cat was terrified.

“For me, I needed assurance that, no matter what happened, the pillar wouldn’t touch Sangsin’s memory.

Unfortunately, I am not in a position to force such a guarantee on the pillar.

From the standpoint of the pillar, I would be nothing more than a hunter.

So I came up with the opposite idea.”

“If it’s the reverse… ?”

“Simple.

Wouldn’t that be enough if we create an [event that the pillar can’t touch Sangsin’s memory], no matter what?”

The Count tapped the cat's crown.

The cat trembled.

“Wow… … .

I, we were made slaves to your Count by agreement.

This was the decisive blow The moment they became enslaved [the staff of the primordial], no matter what, their memory could never be distorted.”

“Why?”

“Because that is a complete mockery of our graves.”

The tricolor cat wiggled its tail softly.

“If the pillar erases our memories, we will be reduced to [why] [without knowing the English language] in one morning [without knowing the English language] to the Count's slaves.

Isn't that unreasonable? Literally, in the blink of an eye, what kind of fly...

… You have become the servant of the most noble person in the world!! bruise! Of course, we were very happy with this situation and we would have praised the owner's grace as we do now, but from an objective point of view, it's just extremely unreasonable violence!" “It will be like that.”

The Count grabbed the cat's ear and rubbed it in.

The cat was startled and said, “Meow!? Wow, wow! Puppy!”

he protested pathetically, but to no avail.

“In short, the point at which the memory cannot be rolled back.

I needed an absolute starting point that could neither be eliminated nor distorted.

That's why I left you to stir up the golden world, and secretly pushed your back until you subdued Sangsin." "......." As soon as he was called to the role of judge and received a notice that he would lose his memory, as soon as he suspected that the manager of the Geumcheon World might be [the cat that bit the gold coin], the count surrendered to Sangsin.

was aimed at I licked my lips when I heard the Count's grandiose thoughts.

“… … Aren't you worried?" "Well? What do you mean?”

“Maybe [Primordial Staff] has a vicious personality.

It could have been that kind of person who endured unreasonable violence.

How did you believe the pillar?”

The Count widened his eyes.

And he smiled a little while covering his mouth with a fan.

“I was wondering what you were talking about.

Gongja Kim.

I never once believed in the [Primordial Staff].”

"Yes? But… … ." "I just trusted you." The Count looked at me, "You are the person who loves the tower more than anyone.

If the pillar that managed such a tower was a vicious dictator, you would have been the first to crush it.

Isn't it?" "......." "You said that you tolerated the existence of that pillar.

It didn't feel like you had to accept it.

Gongja Kim.

If you are a person you respect, you must have a personality that deserves respect.

”

From afar, the cats were walking back and forth.

The cats gave us a cup of coffee.

The Count held an Americano in one hand and grinned, "I trust your judgment as you trust my skills." “…Nisha.”

"You are our leader, we are your colleagues, and I have no doubt that colleagues are a relationship where we strive to be equal." The earl said, "What we did, how we attacked the stage, what kind of conversations we had, the world that you only remember Gongja Kim----Aww, I will reject it with all my might." Saying that, the smile the Earl put on was a smile that could tell why Patricia, who was close to each other, fell in love with the Count.

"I have lost my memory.

But when I opened my eyes, I saw some cats wiggling under my feet.

I asked what was going on, and the cats showed me what had happened on the heavenly floor in super high-definition holograms.

I want to congratulate myself that everything went according to my plan.”

"Woof woof." The cats who delivered the coffee to the earl clenched my pants this time.

Three cats were working together to lift the tray.

“Additional White Mocha Frappuccino Venti Quadra Shot Java Chip Half Chocolate Drizzle!”

I hadn't really ordered anything, but the cats came with my own menu.

I smiled and looked back at the owners of the cats.

“It’s a gift.”

I was speechless for a moment.

"Ah.

Of course, there are other real gifts.”

“Really.”

“I just wanted to tell you this.”

"really……." “Come here.

Gongja Kim.

It took a lot of hard work to conquer the heavens.

We will always remember what hardships you went through.

There is really only one thing you need to remember.”

“… … Really, my colleagues are amazing.”

“Even if you leave us alone, we will never leave you alone.”

I'm probably embarrassed to show it to passersby right now.

To hide my expression, I took a cup of coffee and took a sip.

The white mocha of that day was very sweet.
