SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

time garden.

(1) 1.

I slowly started going down the stairs where the sand curtain was split left and right.

thump, thump.

The stairs of unknown material supported me resolutely.

With every step I took, the sound of my bounce back filled the air.

The place where I talked with the princess was on the 90th floor.

Below that was naturally the 89th floor, that is, my sanctuary.

"......." A garden of rotten flowers.

I set foot there.

The vassals of the Four Kings who took on the role of gardeners were wandering around.

All were neatly dressed in uniforms designed by the exclusive tailors of the Duke of Ivancia and woven by the mermaids of the Aikim Empire.

In their hands were scissors, a shovel, and a water jug, all of which were necessary for gardening.

'Ike.' Among them, I saw Sylvia approaching me with garden shears, and I hurriedly ran behind a rock.

- King, what are you doing? The princess asked while looking at me as if she was seeing something very strange.

I scratched the back of my head with a shy face.

- No what.

After grabbing all the foam and shaving my hair, I went up, but when I hear people say why did I come down already, I would not be offended...

what.

While I was speaking, I kept my mouth shut.

- Uh...

Well? The condition of my voice...

? What came out of my mouth was a whisper produced by the lick of my lips, no, it was the kind of sound I felt when I [imagined] the sound in my head, and I couldn't hear it.

- Huh… .

It wasn't just that.

I backed away and realized that I couldn't even hear my footsteps.

- Huh? It was the same even after stepping into place a couple of times.

There was no sound from the floor, which until just a moment ago was returning a sound equal to my turbo, turbo, and my weight.

- Hey.

I jumped on the sergeant jump on the spot.

There was no popping or popping sound when it fell.

Not only the sound, not a grain of sand or a leaf does not move.

- no way? - Yes.

That's probably it The princess smiled broadly.

It was then that I realized that her voice and movements had no effect whatsoever on those around her.

So I noticed.

- Right now, the princess and I are in the same state as the swordsman, right? - Yes! that's right.

The princess nodded her head.

I turned around in a strange feeling, then looked at Sylvia who was approaching me.

- And that will soon be… .

“Uh-huh.”

Sylvia sighed in front of my nose.

“It has been about two hours since the Lord has gone up.”

I knew it.

Sylvia didn't recognize me at all! "driving me crazy.

I will turn oh, a little It's going up and down and uproaring about something to eat." Sylvia, crouching on the floor, raised a complaint as she turned the soil upside down with a shovel.

Someone received Sylvia's words like that.

“Ugre, valet.

What are you going to do if someone hears you?”

These were the words Uburka, dressed as a gardener, came walking with a large bucket on her bald head.

Sylvia shrugged.

“Heng.

No one else is listening except you.

Anyway, I’ve done that level of groundwork, so I’m also talking behind the scenes.”

“Ugor.

Are you sure?”

“It’s like, it’s like.

I'm the person who ate the young girl twice at the Sormwin Academy.

I even took a picture of Duke Ivancia once.

So what does this mean? Your eyesight is perfect, that’s the word.”

Sylvia said so with a sullen attitude.

'I'm listening right now in front of my nose.' It was a moment when Sylvia's confidence became as sad as the existence of Sylvia, but that must mean that my current stealth function is perfect.

'Anyway, this is fun.' I circled around Sylvia and Uburka.

Sometimes I just walked around, I turned while standing on my back, sometimes I was spinning while doing somersaults, and sometimes I was spinning while dancing the Cossacks.

Rarely, the mastermind had a sullen expression on his face.

- Zombie...

What kind of char-grilled ribs are you shivering with your taste buds like a yellow roe in front of you? - Thank you for making me feel that way.

This was exactly what you were doing while I was struggling to learn the auror.

This is how I felt the same way you felt right now.

- That's right, you bastard...

.

I didn't know that.

Now that I find out, I am deeply reflecting on it, but apart from that, what if I did the same thing before you use it? It is always up to the juniors and the disciples to be able to break the chain of evil that continues.

- I also wanted to break that chain of evil...

But I didn't have the strength to do that.

A monster that lives deep in my heart, a snake in my heart keeps whispering to me like this...

[You do the same.

Are you going to live with it? Come on.

Now is your chance to repay...] I give in to the devil within me every time.

In other words, it can be said that this is my incompetence and inability...

.

- I lost.

- Victory Achieved.

Uburka and Sylvia didn't seem to notice us even while we exchanged each other like that.

At this point, I'm actually getting a little bloated.

- Princess.

swordsmanship.

So what more can we do here? Where is the key roughly? - Heh heh, well? Why don't you take a look around the places you've been to once? The princess said with a single smile.

Well.

'How come I feel a little uneasy when I hear that kind of thing with a face like that...

.' I suppressed that anxiety.

He left Uburka and Sylvia, who were still talking, and started walking.

- Where are you going, Myungcheon? - No what...

Do you want to look around from the straw? I'm going to do that.

- Active! Yes.

That's a good thing.

Good things.

Those were very disturbing words, but I persevered and moved on.

First of all, I was thinking of going to the manager.

2.

By the time I arrived, the director was just giving instructions to Yul Kim.

“Mr.

Kim Yul.

Gather the gardeners.”

“I do.”

According to the director's instructions, Kim Yul-eun summoned the gardeners.

Esdel ran first, and the goddess of protection came down with her wings flapping.

Sylvia and Uburka, who had been flirting in the corner, were also summoned without notice, and they were forced to stand in front of the director.

said the manager.

"Hello.

I am in charge of managing this garden.”

The director started the story with his characteristic timid voice.

“He’s a person who lacks a lot.”

"......." "Just by bringing you all together in one place right now, no, we're going to have a regular inquiry...

And, there may be some people who will be displeased with it.

When that happens, it's just, ah, the old man...

nope Compared to you, I'm not that old.

I'd appreciate it if you thought it was because I'm not good enough, and treated you with pity." The people who had gathered did not show any reaction at all.

To be more precise, it would be more accurate to say that it wasn't the kind of reaction that was revealed on the outside.

just like me - Manager...

.

I muttered with a broken heart.

The manager, of course, didn't recognize me.

I just continued the story to those in front of me.

“As you may have heard, Confucius went up to the next floor today.”

“……”

“I am a person who cannot even be called a rookie when it comes to hunters.

Even if you take them to the second floor, it will be difficult to come back alive.

So I don't know where the 90th floor is.

Does any of these people know about it?”

Someone raised their hand to the question.

It was Esdel.

“I only know very little about the 99th floor.

I can't tell you the details because of the contract I had with T.O.P, but...

… ." “Is it dangerous?”

“…Yes, very much.”

Esdel said, the director took off his glasses and pressed his nose with his thumb and forefinger and said, "Can you come back?" “If the headmaster decides to come back, right away.”

Esdel said so, and bowed her head slightly.

"okay…." The director sighed lightly, “I feel relieved that I can come back right away if I put my mind to it.”

“Yes, I think so.”

“But, the child will never come back.”

The concentration of his sighs grew stronger.

Esdel, the goddess of protection, and Uburka sighed in a similar way… Uh, what is this unity of the Four Kings? The headmaster said, Sylvia pricked up her ears.

"How was it?" “Chief, how come you feel a sense of disquiet from that curiosity?”

"No, Advisor.

Aren't you looking at me too badly? Sorry.

I'm just wondering what kind of yangban the owner of our family is.

And the advisor like that is also, umm? Isn't it?" “As an advisor, I just want to know more about California.”

These vassals...

"I'm also curious.

Ugre.

What was Abby like when she was a child? No, was there such a thing as being a child?" This son's mother-in-law...

"Everyone is curious about Confucius.

It's well worth it." The principal smiled bitterly and wore glasses.

Most of the family members, perhaps, no doubt, coveted my dark history and looked at the principal with bright eyes, but the director was not a specialist who had been taking care of the children for nothing for nothing.

“So, shall we continue this story at the next ordinance?”

“Ah.”

Just when my curiosity was stimulated, the vassals, whose story was cut off, made a sad voice: "It's okay.

Please wait patiently." The director smiled and said, "We'll be here face to face all the time." So, the ordinance was over.

I turned with a sad face and looked at the scattered gardeners, then raised my hand and wiped my forehead.

- I should get out of here as soon as possible...

as soon as possible today.

- Huh.

I don't like this? - Yeah, um, so...

Uh, the key.

I looked around, but couldn't find anything like this.

I looked around the head of the head just in case, but it was the same.

- …there's nothing here? - That's it.

I don't think it's here.

With a smile, the princess said that.

This was also a tone that stimulated anxiety.

The voice of Geomze was heard as if driving a wedge into it.

- Zombie.

- Yep.

I looked back at Geomje.

I saw Geomje with a face on her face.

- Cheer up.

Uh huh...

- Geomje yangban.

What does that face mean now? - What does it look like? ..

I'm a little more angry.

What is that?.

Did I say that I was joking a while ago? If that's the case...

No, what's the real expression on your face? I'd rather laugh.

He just looked at me with his face and said, 'This is really a feeling of anxiety creeping up and sitting down like the smell of manure...' Um, I clapped my palms in a loud clang.

Then I caught my breath and started walking.

- After all, it's not around you, but this.

Well, then it's probably there.

My sanctuary is a world, but there are some fresh ones too.

It's not very wide.

If you dig through the parts you put together, you'll find the key or something...

That's what I thought.

In conclusion, I was wrong.

3.

My sanctuary, a garden of rotten flowers.

I was squatting by the seaside and said with a straight face - I was wrong.

Actually, I don't know if it's a really straight face.

A greenhouse was also set up here for the necessary flowers, but no reflection of me was reflected in the glass of the greenhouse.

- To realize that in only [a week] at most.

Yes, a week has passed since I entered this place that should be called the 89th floor, no, the 91st floor! I shouted with a feeling of vomiting fire… I shouted? Damn it.

Even here, where I can’t make a real voice, it feels vague.

It feels like the very existence itself is getting vague, just like the usual facial expressions of seals and Shiba Inu! - Next to the director I thought there would be something going on here.

Or, when I go in front of the lily of the valley flower, the first lily of the valley that I planted, I thought the surroundings would just twinkle.

But this… Do you know how I feel right now? It's like it was thrown on the old test map.] These were the words that the princess jumped up next to me - Some climber compared it to that - Who is that climber? - Mahos, who was called the steed of the eternal plains.

Is that the constellation? Uh.

Myungcheon is the one who doesn't want to treat the inside of the tower as a game, so he might be angry about that metaphor...

.

- Yeah...

no no.

I know how it feels.

Do you know the swordsman yangban well? - Well, you know, it's a zombie.

I don't know why.

Geomje lay flat on his back with his bare hands supporting the back of his head.

Angled clouds were floating in the sky dyed red with the broken sunset light.

- I've been going through that shit for 140 years right now.
