◈ 390. [Side Story] Sleeping with the enemy
《No, that’s really too much! Why do you always hit me every time you see it!”
Salome shouted, clutching her chin and holding back tears.
“You don’t even know how hard I’ve been trying to save you this time, but I’m going to resort to violence! You really are the worst human being!”
“Shut up, monster. If I am the worst human being, you are the worst monster.”
“under! I’m not the worst, I’m the monster of an aphrodisiac?”
“… .”
No, what are you proud of? This evil demon.
Anyway, I gritted my teeth and jumped up.
“When two humans and monsters meet eye to eye, it’s a battle. What else were you expecting?”
I hurriedly searched my waist. I’ll pull out [Agathe] right away and put a bullet in your stomach, then I’ll put a magic blade into your neck with [Maestro] –
‘Huh?’
does not exist.
My waist dance is empty. I hurriedly removed my hands from my waist and put them in my inside pockets. Then, I took out another weapon from the inventory-
[Current player’s proof of existence is uncertain.]
[System is unavailable.]
But my hand struggled across the empty air and couldn’t open the inventory.
I grinded my teeth. This is it again! What the hell is proof of existence, you bastard system! If it gets stuck, you shouldn’t just sit still and call a repairman!
When I couldn’t get my weapon out, Salome smirked in the corner of the room, covering her head with her arms and flinching.
《Hey~? What is it, honey, maybe we don’t have a weapon~?”
“If you call me baby one more time, I will kill you… .”
《Even if you don’t call him baby, he’s going to kill you anyway!》
Chet. You know this monster.
Even if you don’t have a weapon, I can defeat you with just my taekwondo. I only learned it briefly in elementary school, but this is enough.
I clumsily took a taekwondo posture and prepared for battle.
Salome I don’t know how many times I’ve missed the chance to kill you. I will really kill you this time… … .
‘What?’
Suddenly, I felt dizzy and my legs gave out. I couldn’t stop and fell to the floor.
“what is this… Why is the body strong… … .”
“That’s because you suddenly want to use a body you haven’t used for a long time.”
Salome covered her mouth and smiled sinisterly as she approached.
“You were sunk on the other side of the sea? If I hadn’t found it and rescued it, it would have been floating there like a ghost forever?”
“The other side of the other side… ?”
《It’s called the underworld, it’s called the spirit world, whatever! It’s not a space for living people to go to.”
Coco’s words flashed through my mind again.
It was said that if a person whose existence is unclear gets on the teleport gate, he will go there.
That’s why monsters born from nightmares cannot use teleport magic because their existence is unclear.
《I don’t know why I was so into that place, but anyway, when I found you, I wondered what kind of windfall it was… … Oh no, my heart is pounding because I want to know what this is! Did you?”
“… How can you get there and back?”
《Hehe, if I use the invincible evasion [Real Escape], that’s where I’ll escape!”
Salome raised the bridge of her nose while making an ahem-like sound.
aha really
An evasion device exclusive to the Succubus Queen, [Escape from Reality], which is a judgment that completely disappears from reality.
I wondered where to run away, but was it a decision to fall into the other side of the other side? So it looks like you can come in and out freely.
“That’s why I hugged you while struggling and rescued you into reality. Whoops, isn’t it great? It’s okay to praise! I am the succubus queen! Because she is the daughter of a dreamer!》
“… .”
“Even if I praise you! good! compliment! Even if you do! Good!]
Salome opened her eyes and looked at me as if telling me to go ahead. But seeing that unlucky elated face makes me even more reluctant to praise… … .
“after.”
But being thankful means being thankful. I reluctantly nodded.
“okay. For once I saved him… … thanks.”
If it wasn’t for this guy, I might have been hovering around the bottom of the spirit world forever. Let’s give thanks.
When I said thank you very much, Salome’s eyes widened, and then tears welled up in those big eyes. why not?
《Kheup, it’s like the first time I’ve heard a gentle word from you… … . So I was moved… … .”
“Is that so? it will probably be the last Be deeply moved.”
I leaned against the wall and looked around the palace.
“So where is this place?”
Looking at this tasteless pink interior, it’s not hard to guess.
“This is my palace! how is it? aren’t you comfortable? isn’t it clean? Does it smell good?”
Sure enough, it was the palace of the succubus queen, the home of the dreamer army.
When I saw this bling bling pink interior with nasty sensibility, I suddenly thought of Evangeline.
He also has a taste for the dreaded love house. Maybe Salome and Porridge are a good match.
“Whoops, I hurriedly rearranged the furniture, cleaned, and sprayed perfume before you woke up. Originally, my subordinates clean up, but since the kids all die, I have to live here alone… … . Still, I must say I was a little happy that it was for you… ?”
“Don’t look like a new bride living in that newlyweds’ house. Because I want to kill you.”
Without firing back, I felt the blood drain from my face. wait for a sec.
‘The Palace of the Succubus Queen?’
here… It’s District 10 of the Lake Kingdom Dungeon.
The deepest part of the deepest part. The deepest place in the deep demon realm. It is the lowest level of hell. The palace of the Succubus Queen is located here.
The foremost dungeon raiding team under my command was in the middle of the dungeon in District 8. Skipping everything out of the blue and going to District 10?
‘How can I return to the surface?’
Should I escape to Area 8 and then take the teleport gate? No, no, if you get on the gate now, you’ll be swept away from the other side of the other side or something.
Then, is it really necessary to walk in a straight line to the main gate of the Lake Kingdom? … ?
Salome cautiously approached me as I struggled with the escape route. His white hand naturally wrapped around my neck.
《Hehe, are you already thinking about going out, Ash?》
“When you say nice things, put your hands away… .”
“Don’t be sad, let’s just live happily together here. I will make you have a happy dream.”
… The nightmare corps commander makes me have happy dreams. Is this the right sound?
《… please please Teach me,”
Salome said in a trembling voice, holding her arm around my neck.
“When I think of you, my heart feels pounding and I feel like my body trembles and tears because I can’t stand it… .”
“… .”
“The King of Kings said that this feeling I have for you is love. Teach me if that’s true… … !]
I replied immediately and untied Salome’s arm.
“Absolutely not. okay?”
「Wowaaaaaa! It’s really too much!]
Too much is a piece of shit. If I only had a weapon in my hand right now, you’ve searched ten times. If I had only eaten in my stomach, I would have vomited in your face right now.
love? Sarah? You, a monster, to me, a human?
What kind of dog eating grass is this!
Salome huffed and puffed.
“But did the King of Kings say that? This feeling is love!”
“No, absolutely not. that bastard made fun of you Also, heart pounding, body shaking, and tears are like arrhythmia or heart disease, so make sure to go to the hospital.”
It would be better if he didn’t go and the symptoms got worse and he died.
“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of joining you in your play house.”
After sitting down for a while, my energy returned to my body. I stumbled and stood up.
“I have to go back to my colleagues. Get out of the way and don’t interrupt.”
I got up like that and was about to leave the palace after shaking off Salome-
Quaaaaang!
Suddenly, the palace shook like an earthquake.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?!”
“ Kiyaa Aak! ”
I and Salome rolled the floor together.
bang! Kwakwang! Quagmire!
The roaring and shaking continued. Terrified, I turned to Salome.
“what?! What the hell is this?!”
“Factually, I am under attack… .”
Salome wiggled her fingers and chirped.
“So I used [Escape from reality] to escape and found you by chance… . Now that we’re back in reality, we’re under attack again… … .》
“Attacked by whom?!”
“hmm… To another army of monsters?]
What are you talking about?
“Isn’t that your ally? Why are you fighting each other?”
“Yeah… Is it because my power has weakened? It’s natural for monsters to kill and eat each other when they become weak.”
“Fuck you! In case someone isn’t a monster, the back of the head is very basic common sense, isn’t it?”
《Yes!》
No, don’t be positive!
Salome laughed and scratched the back of her head.
“My legion was annihilated by you, right? Now I’m in a state where I have no power at all.》
“… .”
“Still, I thought I would be safe because I was loved by the King of Kings… .》
Quguaguawang!
The palace shook and the chandeliers from the ceiling fell to the floor. Salome was in tears and hurriedly avoided it.
“It doesn’t look like that at all! Mom!”
Then, Salome naturally fell down as if diving into my arms, but I lightly turned to avoid it.
《Quite a bit!》
The ugly round succubus rolled on the floor. I didn’t care and looked out through the window.
‘Who the hell is attacking… … ?’
I looked out the window and was immediately stunned.
thud! thud! thud!
Stepping foot and narrowing the distance towards this palace… … They were giants with blue skin and armor like Vikings.
These giants, who seemed to number well in the hundreds, held ice spears and shields in their hands.
‘These crazy frost giants… !?’
Although they cannot enter the TOP 10 corps, they are top-ranked monsters in terms of combat power, except for the corps commander. Individual specs are just ignorantly high.
“Hey how are you doing? Still, you’re a corps commander. Is there any way?”
“I don’t even know! In the first place, direct combat is not my domain! My subordinates took care of everything!”
“What if you have no way, you incompetent succubus!”
《If I had a way, would I be looking at our newlyweds house like this?!》
“Who wants our newlyweds house!”
bang! Kwakwawang!
Even during the quarrel, the palace of the succubus queen was in a state of disrepair.
It was a pleasure for me to see Salome lose her home base and become homeless, but the problem was that the frost giant demolition services would not let me go.
‘If it’s 100, it will be beaten and caught like 100.’
I have no intention of ending my life with this Pink Dream in a place like this. You have to break through somehow.
“after… .”
I cooled my head and checked my current condition.
System windows offline.
Inventory is blocked.
There are no weapons.
… Do I have the means to fight now that the system is not calibrated?
‘of course.’
I opened my eyes.
Even when I had nothing more than this, I got through more difficulties.
The game isn’t over yet.
Then I won’t give up either.
I looked around. I saw Salome, teary-eyed, fiddling with the fallen chandelier.
“… .”
What is the strongest piece in chess?
Needless to say, she is Queen.
And no matter what, this guy is also a queen.
It’s pink, not black or white.
“Hey Salome.”
i am a player
I am a person who places numbers on a chessboard. And within my reach is the Queen.
If so, you should use it.
Stir the battlefield to your heart’s content – and finally self-destruct with the enemy’s pieces.
“It is a temporary alliance.”
I reached out to Salome.
“If you follow my orders, I will help you get through this difficulty.”
《… !”
“How is it? Will you hold my hand?”
Then, without thinking for a second, Salome reached out and grabbed my hand.
《Of course not, honey!》
… No, I just reached out for a handshake. It’s not about holding them side by side.
It’s not that I’m going to have a good time! I think we’re going on a date somewhere right now You brain flower garden succubus! I can’t untie this hand!
I quickly removed Salome’s hand. Salome wondered what was so good about it and laughed.
“I can’t really see… .”
I muttered a low voice as I glared at the frost giants who had now come close to me.
“Okay, Salome.”
I smiled evilly at the succubus queen who focused on me with sparkling eyes.
“I am instructing the operation from now on.”
Thus, an uneasy alliance between humans and monsters was established.
