EP.57 I’ll burn you.
Finlay continued to annoy Aji, even after being scolded a few times.
When someone said something, they cut off their energy with a sound like ‘uhh’ or ‘uhm’, and when a regressor or a child tried to raise their fists, they would run away or mention vampires and use them as shields.
It’s annoying, but I didn’t do anything wrong to the point of death, and even so, it took a little bit of the vampire behind me to scold me. The vague sensation of not being able to spit out or swallow this road came out and tormented the regressor.
Suffering builds bonds. Because of just one Finlay, the regressor and I, who seemed like we would never find each other for the rest of our lives, came together in one place.
“The things that annoy me have increased to two. If I continue like this, I will die of stress. I have to deal with one somehow.”
“Two outlines? I know one is Finlay, but who is the other?”
“you.”
“What kind of nonsense!”
I shouted in rage, and the regressor crossed his arms and said:
“You two are similar. Interfering at any time, and doing whatever you want under the protection of Tyrkanjaka. Acting selfishly and riding a narrow line is also very similar, isn’t it?”
“I will endure all kinds of insults, but I will never admit that. No, I don’t.”
I am infinitely merciful, but my patience has an end. Comparing me to Finlay would be considered an attack on me. Step by step, I refuted the words of the regressor.
“Look at yourself! Interfering without even trying? It’s a hobby of trainee Shay! Being protected by Tyrkanjaka trainees? Who was the one who had a teacher-teacher relationship with Shijo? behaving recklessly? If you’re going to name the most unruly person in this abyss, you’ll have to find the mirror first!”
“ha?”
“It’s so skinny! Why don’t you change your name at this point? Not Finlay, but Pinshay! That’s right! If you see the two of them, you’ll know they’re a couple!”
“What kind of bullshit is that and a married couple!!”
After I descended into the abyss, the most upset regressor suddenly remembered his setting and said,
“Again, I am a man!”
Oh, that was the setting. I forgot about it for a while, but fortunately there is a way to explain it.
“yes. He is a man who likes men.”
“hey!! that!”
“It’s funny when you think about it. He shouted that he liked men, but when he mentioned it, he got angry. What’s wrong? Are you ashamed of your taste after you said it?”
In front of me armed with a just theory, the regressor couldn’t say anything and just gasped.
Don’t wage a fight you can’t win. Why do you keep messing around when you’ve never defeated me with words?
I rubbed my ears and said.
“I’m sorry, but please don’t like me in any case. If you’re a Shay trainee, it might not matter because it’s true, but I really hate being misunderstood like that. I’m just a normal person with normal tastes.”
“don’t worry! Even if the sky falls, that won’t happen!”
The regressor with a sharp shot crossed his arms again and murmured.
“Anyway, I want to get rid of you, but it would be easier to deal with Finlay than that. At least we have to stop it from flying around.”
“Isn’t it a bit like saying that you want to get rid of it in front of the audience?”
“I said so.”
The regressor who answered nastyly muttered to himself.
‘I came down to the bottomless pit to start a war. Probably the most radical of the main waves. As long as we know that a great war has broken out in the future, we must not place Tyrkanjaka close to the main wave vampires. Persuasion or threats must be shaken off.’
what is a regressor You said it was easy to deal with in words, but you had unexpectedly deep thoughts, right?
On the other hand, the reason I wanted to get rid of Finlay was simply ‘I didn’t like it’. little comparison.
hmm. There’s no way my ordinary and kind personality is worse than that of a regressor. I’ve been in the abyss for too long, have I become a bit corrupted? I’ll have to be careful in the future.
“You know what? Even if Finlay looks like that, he’s Yailing. Lord Elder, who inherited the blood of the progenitor, and their descendents, the elite children, vampires of the next highest rank. Yaling is not uncommon, but if it’s a red line, it’s recognized here.”
“Anyway, it’s a small pup. You and I can easily deal with a guy like that.”
It’s just you, not me? I need at least a holy grenade to deal with that.
When there was no answer, the regressor looked at me curiously and ignored my silence, probably taking it for granted and not needing an answer.
“Besides, that’s the guy who came here hoping for war. There’s nothing good about being close to Tyrkanjaka…”
Standing tall.
The regressor remembered something besides talking.
‘wait. This guy didn’t accept the offer to let Finlay out. Rather, I wanted to keep it here. There must be no reason.’
huh? there’s a reason Actually, there is no way for me to send Finlay outside.
‘Come to think of it, the military’s actions have always been on the side of instigating and intervening in war. That’s right. Imprisoning the founder must be part of the plan.’
No, I don’t know… There was something that took something to say.
Apparently, the golem controlled by Captain Abbey spoke. That there shouldn’t be a war ‘yet’.
Conversely, it means that ‘someday’ there will be a war. It means that even vampires living in the abyss are part of the military’s war plan.
What are you planning, military? can you afford it? According to the thoughts of the regressor, it seems that a great war has occurred in the future.
Thinking that far, I immediately turned my attention away. ah what All but idiots know that the military is preparing for war, but how important it is. It’s the same as saying it’s snowing this winter.
More important than that now.
“…I intend to separate Finlay from Tyrkanjaka. You better not disturb me.”
‘We must stop the war. Even if it’s to prevent them from rampaging in war. If this man gets in my way. then.’
I am a regressor who prefers to live for me.
So what? Mmm.
ok let’s do this here
“Are you thinking of interfering? If I helped, I helped. Why am I interfering with trainee Shay?”
“After all, Finlay couldn’t get out of the abyss because you persuaded him. Are you still cooperating with me? It makes no sense.”
The regressor didn’t even wait for my answer and said with an eye that seemed like it would cut me down at any moment.
“You intend to disturb me?”
Not a bad guess, but it was wrong.
I’m talking about it, but I just didn’t want to find out that I was an insignificant laborer.
However, I couldn’t tell you this, so I waved my hand with a bright smile.
“Ahaha. You accepted it that way. Be naive.”
“what?”
The regressor still looked at me with high eyes and snorted as if to make an excuse.
“Think differently. Now I said that to keep Finlay here. Stay here and stay close to Tirkanjaka trainees.”
“I know. Because I was there too.”
“You really believe what I said then? Did you have that much trust in me?”
The pupils of the regressor widen. In my wide open eyes, the blade does not stand as much as before. What came instead was doubt.
‘…was there a different intention? But from that man’s point of view, is there any other benefit to be gained by keeping Finlay with Tyrkanjaka?’
“Don’t take my word for it, just think about the consequences of my actions. Then you should know that we have no reason to be hostile.”
Instead of speaking directly, I sprinkled rice cakes. Like pieces of bread spread on a trail, you pick up the clues one by one and wait for the other person to follow the flow.
‘for a moment. Maybe I’m thinking wrong. What if that man’s goal wasn’t to keep Finlay and Tyrkanjaka close together… but to have Finlay stay here?’
So even though I just followed the clues I gave you, I don’t doubt the answer I got through ‘effort’ anyway.
Because your efforts should be rewarded accordingly. The puzzle you put together with effort should be beautiful, and the answer you come up with after racking your brains should be perfect.
That’s human psychology. It was the same with the regressors.
‘Did you lock Finlay in order not to leak information about this place? If Finlay goes out to the ground and spreads it everywhere, the forces trying to use Tyrkanjaka might move!’
The regressor drew arbitrary conclusions and was thrilled. I seem to be trying to hide it, but a proud smile comes to my lips.
What if you knew the truth? I simply didn’t have the ability to get him out. I’m curious again.
Whatever.
“Because not everyone in the military wants war. We can be allies.”
For the time being, it succeeded in easing the vigilance of the regressor. The regressor, while still doubtful, was relieved enough to seek my opinion.
“Do you have any plans?”
“First of all, it’s persuasion.”
“persuade? only?”
‘Isn’t it kidnapping, threatening or interfering?’
My mind has changed. No matter how I think about it, I think I have a better personality than him.
“…I don’t know what the hell they’re thinking, but we’ll have to take the most common means first.”
“good. Leave the persuasion to me.”
“yes?”
“I know how to persuade. Anyway, since I am a disciple now, it would be much easier for me to say that.”
hmm. He’s not very trustworthy, but since his will is so strong, let’s see.
I muttered anxiously.
“…Just in case, can I cut off my arm? Even if you’re a vampire, you’ll feel bad.”
“Who do you know as a psychopath?!”
“How did know?”
***
After deciding to persuade Tyrkanjaka.
After taking a deep breath, the regressor strode alone towards the vampire. I hid behind a not far corner and watched it.
“Tirkanjaka. Wait a minute, I have something to tell you.”
It is a very rare sight because it is the persuasion of a regressor. I don’t believe it because it gives me the impression that when faced with adversity, he would often solve it with force or money rather than words. It’s not strange even if I have abilities I don’t know about. Let’s see how well you speak.
“Don’t meet Finlay!”
…?
what is this. What’s wrong with the choice of words? Are you a daughter who hates her stepdad? Are you begging me not to remarry?
“…? It’s unexpected. How are you?”
A question that comes out of nowhere. It’s a very natural reaction. In contrast, the regressor’s reply.
“anyway! He said he wanted to go to war! War is bad! Dangerous!”
hey. regressor. Use your vocabulary. are you a foreigner Or did you usually live without talking to people?
No, you talked to me well about that? I can’t possibly do it. Stop talking and read your thoughts beforehand.
‘Before I return, you participate in the war as a wreck. It’s a bloody battle in which no one benefits. The only thing waiting for its end is the ruin of everything. I’m trying to prevent that future, and for that you’d better stay away from the war.’
My thoughts are normal, but why are you talking like that? What the hell is wrong with this regressor?
iced coffee. I know a little bit.
Trying not to inform the fact of the regression, there was a hole in the logic he wanted to spread, and he tried to force it together, but it turned into such childish words.
I’m getting a bit uneasy now. what about that
“I thought you would know. Finlay is a very lowly follower of mine. You cannot even rebel against my will.”
“know! but!”
“And once I have made a decision, I do not change it. Those with heavy shoulders should be slow even in words. There’s no way I’ll change this for the time being. I understand what you mean, so stop talking.”
The regressor nodded a few times, then turned around and returned to the corner where I was hiding. And then he groaned and reported to me.
“It is.”
“I’m sorry for making unreasonable demands. From now on, refrain from persuasion and try to solve it with force or money as much as possible.”
‘huh? I feel bad about something. Are you being sarcastic?’
At the point of thinking about this, I know how terrible your communication skills are. I feel sorry for the world this regressor has to save.
I sighed and left.
“Wait there. A master of psychological warfare, a magician who plays with people’s minds, and a secret meeting with a trainee from Tyrkanjaka in a secluded place. No disciple can come close to me. I’ll take care of it and come back.”
“okay. you take care of it what? A tryst?”
“Uh-racha. I’ll go soon and come back.”
Before the regressor could say anything, I jumped out of the corner and quickly raised my hand and approached the vampire.
“Tirkanjaka trainee. It’s a coincidence.”
“…what the hell are the two of you doing?”
“haha. It’s a small party. Oh would you like a massage? My fingers are in good condition today.”
Even after accepting my proposal, the vampire did not have any doubts.
“Isn’t it too obvious inside? Why does a guy who usually shows an attitude that he doesn’t like it come to me with his fingers upright? Plus, Shay is watching over there, how can you?”
Why do you have doubts? this is amazing Who said he saw me get an electric shock, and even cut open his heart to reveal it? Do you have a sense of crisis?
“So you don’t like it?”
“…I didn’t say that. A little later, when no one is watching.”
cancellation. Maybe it’s because he’s already dead, but this corpse doesn’t even feel threatened.
Anyway.
“I’m here to warn trainee Tirkanjaka on behalf of trainee Shay.”
“you also?”
“You may be tired of it, but this is advice that will become blood and flesh. There’s something wrong with a vampire named Finlay. You had better be careful.”
It was a serious statement, but the vampire took it lightly.
“Looks like I made Finlay hate me too much. i get it. In the future, don’t be afraid.”
“What if it’s your own weight?”
“It means that I will wait on you and not bother you. He obeys my orders, so I just need to say a word.”
The vampire who thought that the reason me and the regressor came was ‘because Finlay was annoying’ promised to get rid of such a thing.
uh?
Are you okay?
No, you’re being honest. Because I’m just annoyed by Finlay.
I nodded coldly.
“great. Yes, if you will.”
“Oh wait. What time can I come to you?”
“When did you come to see the time? Come when you feel like it.”
“okay.”
Whoa. this is a win-win I returned with a happy face.
Then, the regressor who was leaning against the wall looked up at me with a cold expression.
“What are you doing?”
“yes? Human victory.”
“What is human victory? Far from solving anything, you only made time for a tryst with Tirkanjaka!”
“I didn’t have time. He said he would come on his own.”
“Something like that! at all! I don’t want to know!”
“Did Ji ask?”
“Cheet anyway! If you decide to cooperate, do it properly!”
pushed again I was pushed back in front of the vampire with a sense of trepidation. awkward eye contact
The vampire sighed.
“I really don’t know why you hate it so much. What was so strange? I had a relationship with you too. What is the reason not to have Finlay, my kinsman, by my side?”
“Isn’t it the difference between the times we met? Finlay, who has only been here for less than a week, is uncomfortable because he only trusts the Tyrkanjaka trainees and is so mean.”
“What does it matter? It’s been less than a month since I met you guys.”
For a vampire, a month or a week is like the blink of an eye. There will be no difference between us and Finlay.
Not having anything to say, I nodded my head.
“I think so. Compared to a month or a week, a Tirkanjaka trainee’s life is no different than a glowing firefly that shines overnight. They say that a month is too short for humans living an ordinary life, but what about a 12th-century girl?”
“……? 12th century girl?”
“Oops. I’m leaving!”
On the other side, the regressor was still waiting. But the corner is not only there. I ran towards the opposite corner.
