EP.87 Arrangement…?
The back alleys of the military country are heartless zones where the clumsy cannot survive. Do you think that I, the chief of the place, will surrender to the military?
It was for this time that Tyr’s heart was saved, even at the risk of losing one’s self!
“Tyr! Show me your strength!”
Even if a vampire is indifferent to what goes on in the world, he won’t turn a blind eye to the one who revived his heart. I jumped up and shouted.
Then Tyr stood up after me and stood half a step ahead of me.
“okay. It is as he said.”
A pitch-black parasol was thrown over my head. Tyr lifted his parasol slightly and leaned against me. Tyr, who made his intentions known through the parasol, looked down at the officer.
“I will declare here. If there is even a small wound on Hugh’s body, if even a single drop of blood flows from his body… I will reap his blood a million times over to you and your country.”
A warning has a different weight depending on the reality of the warning.
When I threaten to kill all mankind in this world, no one is wary. It’s obvious that it’s a bluff, and even if you have the will, you will fail.
But what if you point out someone and threaten to kill only you? Those who are singled out will not be able to sleep well at night.
Therefore, the warning of the progenitor was clearly imprinted on everyone. Tyr has the ability to do that.
Even the officers were fed up with that spirit.
“…He’s a petty criminal. Sijo, are you thinking of destroying the military for just one petty criminal?”
“Soldier, I ask you. Are you prepared to have a conflict with the country just to leave a petty criminal as a criminal?”
“country…?”
As the officer paused, the smoke that had engulfed the room began to stir. The hazy, gray cigarette smoke stopped on the spot and turned black the moment it touched the vampire’s energy.
The progenitor of vampires, her powers are blood-sculpting at its peak.
But that’s not all.
As they battled the followers of the Celestial God for centuries, their blood was scorched by the light and their bodies burned by the heat. Every time blood was drawn from the other person’s body, countless members of his family burned to death.
Those who just wanted to live, even if they sacrificed themselves to demons, perished leaving behind only painful deathbeds. The founder carried all the echoes they left behind.
At some point, she came to deal with the darkness.
A shadow that the light ignores.
Darkness filled the room. All of Tantalus began to vibrate. Among them, only Tyr’s faint voice came through the darkness.
“I am Tirkanjaka, the founder. The monster that will devour the world, the queen of shadows, and the beginning of all vampires. I am a vampire, and the vampires who walk on the ground are my limbs. I ask again, soldier of the military. Are you, a mere soldier, prepared to have that kind of power?”
“Ugh…!”
Even the officers of the military, who claim to be strong, did not dare to face the force and backtracked. Even though he was exerting his energy, it was only to withstand Tyr’s existence.
Meanwhile, under Tyr’s umbrella, I was not affected by that aura. Even while Tantalus, who was supposed to hold the prisoner, trembled in fear, I was fine.
I crossed my arms and thought with a smile on my face.
…weird.
something is heavy
I thought they would protect me, but that’s a bit much. I thought it would end with a stern warning not to harm it.
“…I got it, I got it. Note… let’s do it.”
The officer tutted, clicked his tongue, and turned away. Anyone can see that it was a run away, but it is virtual that Gao was not lost until the end.
As soon as the officer ran away, the energy that filled the air disappeared in an instant. The fluctuating energy calmed down and only me and Tyr were left in the room.
momentary silence. Tyr, who had been quietly staring out the door, glanced at me. Then, at some point, he called my name a little awkwardly.
“phew.”
“yes?”
why is my name suddenly
When I answered, Tyr gave a bashful smile of satisfaction.
“Whoops. You look back with this name too. So, is your original name Hughes?”
“yes. It is registered under the name Hughes.”
“I prefer to be called Hugh.”
“why?”
After hesitating to answer for a moment, Tyr snatched the parasol from my arms and spat it out.
“…That’s because I heard it with your own mouth. Why isn’t it good because it’s short?”
“iced coffee.”
heavy. I feel it again, but it is heavy enough to break the eyes of the scale.
I can read minds, but I can’t tell the future. It is unknown what kind of choices the changed person will make and what feelings they will have.
I thought it was like Hogu, but I never thought my emotions would become so heavy while I was unconscious. Is it because the clogged blood during the 12th century was pierced?
“how is it. Was it helpful?”
“Of course it’s full and overflowing.”
There is nothing wrong with that. The target in front of us is a cataclysm that only occasionally appeared in the history books of the origin of vampires. If she, a walking corps, looks after my back, that’s fine with me.
As he thought so, Tyr spoke in a slightly lower voice.
“If you are having trouble with that soldier, tell me. It only takes one soldier to get rid of it without leaving a corpse behind.”
Even if it’s a bit heavy… haha.
I shook my hand and slurred my words.
“no way. How do you carelessly kill someone? The sound of a big deal. It’s not just killing people who want to live.”
Tyr asked, puzzled.
“Then does that mean that if you don’t have the will to live, it’s okay to kill?”
“Wouldn’t it matter? I still have to kill you.”
“You are saying something strange. Where would it be that there are people who want to die, and even if there were, how would you distinguish between those who want to die and those who want to live?”
“No one can, usually.”
“Then wouldn’t it be useless?”
“Haha, is that so?”
I shrugged. Tyr made a strange expression for a moment, then let out a blank laugh.
“You are kind.”
“and! It’s the first I’ve heard since Mom disappeared!”
“…Didn’t you say you were an orphan?”
“yes!”
Tyr looks at me in a puzzled way as I answer brightly. She put the parasol back on her shoulder and murmured.
“i get it. It means don’t kill me. Even if you are given great power right now, even if you have a chance to wield it against the one who oppressed you, you don’t really want to do it.”
“It wasn’t like they were trying to kill me.”
“Looking at that stiff attitude, it doesn’t look like he’ll bend easily. I can treat you carelessly at any time.”
“You don’t know the future of people. If there’s a chance of that happening, what if I kill it beforehand? That is barbarism.”
Unless you are a violent schizophrenic patient, you can read the extent of your murder in advance. It’s not too late to go and deal with it then.
And… there’s something to be learned from the officer. I can’t kill you already.
I put the story away for a while, and while the two of them were left, I asked Tyr a question.
“But did you do anything while I was unconscious? Are you really hiding anything from me?”
“Mu, of course! What am I going to do?!”
Tyr raises his voice to the point where his relaxed attitude from earlier has gone. It seems like he’s desperately trying to hide it, but there’s no way.
‘Whoa. I’m glad you didn’t hear. If you caught that…’
Now it’s time for mind reading to come back. Shall I remember or read what I did while I was unconscious?
I read Tyr’s memories back.
the not-so-distant past. Tyr was sitting next to me in my room. It was time to get ready to eat breakfast for me, who had lost my ego.
Tyr, who was about to raise me, looked at my hand for a moment before stopping.
Tyr, who had been staring at my hand for a long time, glanced around.
Suspicious attitude shown right before committing the wrongdoing of a child trying to steal. If I showed this kind of attitude in the back alley, I would have flocked to ask for a share
.
Anyway, Tyr, who had been staring at my hand so restlessly, snapped his fingers in the air as if he had made up his mind.
The room was filled with darkness. It was the authority of the founder. Tyr, who had blinded the world with his supreme power over shadows, stretched out his arms toward my empty hand.
In the dark, I responded to the stimulus.
“…who are you?”
“pee. grow.”
“Tyr?”
“okay. Tyra. Stay still for a moment.”
After silenced me, Tyr began to carefully pull my hand to my chest.
Condak. Condak. Condak.
The closer my hand got, the faster Tyr’s heart beat. There are probably many reasons, but Tyr’s body may have remembered the electric massage, or the card in his heart may have reacted.
Anyway, to Tyr, my hands were like magnets, stoves, or drugs.
So, it means that we cannot dare to compare it with the shallow history of mankind.
Kongdak to Kong, Kong to Kung.
The small ripples that shook the surface of the water soon became the sound of drums that resonated throughout the body. The beating was so loud that it vibrated even in my hands.
While enjoying the evidence of life recovered in this way, Tyr suddenly came up with an idea.
“It’s like this with being this close, but if it gets a little closer…”
It’s already almost there, so what more? What do you mean by getting closer?
ah.
Tyr’s eyes flashed ominously.
“Stay still, whew.”
I, who had no ego at the time, nodded my head while being a little wary. Tyr looked around once more and then put his finger on his chest and drew it down.
Oh wait. no way.
Tyr’s fingers sliced through the skin of his chest, revealing the inside.
Even if the heart is beating, blood vessels do not go anywhere. Even if he split his chest, he still had to work harder than before, but Tyr’s blood did not flow out and only lingered inside her.
Inside his wide-open chest, my hand moved closer to Tyr’s heart…
“Haha…”
Then I stopped reading my thoughts.
Originally, if you read something like a major character’s weakness… I should think of using it to rip something off…
For the first time in my life, I decided to bury this huge secret in my heart.
Because there are secrets in the world that shouldn’t be revealed.
‘He’s not from the military. In other words, the instructor who caused the downfall of Tantalus is a different person! Sheesh, it’s confusing!’
Dismal thoughts flow from the dimly lit room.
‘okay. No matter how military it is, there’s no way they could corrupt Aji or Tyrkanjaka like that. They are extremely controlling. I’d rather threaten them with that as an excuse. It’s not the military government’s way to drive them out of the wild. It’s not what they want.’
Push the blade of the cherry tree at an angle. Then, sparks rise in the empty air, and space and space rub against each other.
The cherry blossom is a sword without thickness. Therefore, it is infinitely sharp and can cut everything in existence… but it is not necessarily so. The bitter wind sometimes chills the bones, but that doesn’t mean they are the sharpest spears in the world.
‘He is the root cause of the corruption… More precisely, the military government killed him and the rest went berserk.’
If the skill of the wielder is lacking, if the space that makes up the sword is not disturbed with qigong, the celestial cherry tree becomes just a sword with a handle.
Conversely, if the user’s skill is sufficient, it is the most powerful sword in the world.
The regressor sharpened his blade in a space stained with darkness. Yegi returns to the space that has been consumed little by little.
Sharpening her mind with the blade in the dark, Shay repeated her thoughts.
‘…It’s really unexpected to be an ordinary laborer. I thought I was a prisoner impersonating an instructor. But only laborers? Or is this even a trick…? Can even fool the military administration? Or did he switch with a laborer named Hughes?’
It was a pity that such a conclusion was in vain, but it was an interesting enough topic for a regressor anyway.
‘His true identity and purpose are still unknown…but I still don’t know what he was trying to do by enchanting Aji and Tyrkanjaka.’
Polishing is over. The regressor swung the cherry blossom into the air once. It was silent in the black darkness that even the gap of the wind squeezed.
‘It’s okay though. I still don’t believe it, but at least I knew that his death was the trigger for the tragedy. From now on, I just need to hold the strands in the direction of saving them.’
Tick. The scales are tilted. Small but irreversible.
This judgment, made in the heart of a girl, was trivial, but at the same time incomparably heavier.
In all futures that exist, a being has been spared life.
‘I got results. Now.’
We want to go one step further than before.
I wish I knew one more thing than before.
What awaits the regressor anyway is the path of asceticism that will never reach the goal even if you die dozens of times more.
The regressor smiled with a sense of accomplishment and squeezed the cherry tree in one hand.
‘I can die as much as I want.’
