EP.78 What I got back
Tyrkanjaka, who had barely calmed down the dog king, picked him up and headed for the restaurant.
As he rolled on the ground, he didn’t even frown, let alone scream. I just slowly followed Tirkanjaka with unfocused eyes.
“Are you okay?”
nod
He nodded slightly. However, it does not answer or respond otherwise.
Tyrkanjaka muttered with a worried face.
“I can hear it and I think I understand what it means… You seem like an idiot.”
Still no response. Tyrkanjaka was just sad.
The man who always maintained pleasant words and actions and spoke trivial matters as if he were trying to clear things up. Didn’t it literally take away everything?
“Let’s go to the restaurant first. If there is anything, it will come out soon.”
even if it doesn’t come out. It’s okay to spend your whole life as an idiot. Because Tyrkanjaka intended to take care of him.
He was Tirkanjaka’s benefactor, and just because his heart is beating again doesn’t mean that his patience for an eternity goes away.
“The restaurant… must be on the 4th floor, near the training room.”
Tirkanjaka, who was leading the coffin with blood divination, frowned for a moment. Normally, the coffin would move as smoothly as my own body the moment I made up my mind, but after my heart started beating, I developed a subtle sense of resistance when dealing with things outside my body.
It wasn’t difficult to control. I just felt a slight weight.
To compare, is it the difference between moving your hand and moving the bag you are holding in your hand?
“Is it because I got my heart back? It seems that the Blood Artifact does not move freely.”
It is a coffin made of incense wood that has been with us for nearly a thousand years.
It was Tirkanjaka’s bed and nest, and it was a little disappointing to see that it was now stiff like an independent child.
However, when he recalled the warmth of the person sitting next to him along with his beating heart, that regret faded for a moment.
“okay. If you gain something, you must lose something.”
As you try to get everything in the world, the trivial and precious things you should never forget may slip away and fall. Tyrkanjaka decided to think of it as the price of gaining emotion.
The coffin with the two burned side by side floated smoothly. Reaching the fourth floor in an instant, they soon arrived at the restaurant.
A simple table and four chairs, as if prepared for duty, were placed in one corner, and a large pail and about five smaller pots were lined up on the shelf in order of size. It was narrow, but it was neatly organized, and it felt like someone was taking care of it.
Tyrkanjaka muttered as he looked around the restaurant.
“It’s my first time coming to a restaurant… but I didn’t have to come here.”
All vampires take is blood. That’s why Tirkanjaka had never visited a restaurant before. Someone’s blood loss was the food for the vampire.
It’s still the same now, but Tyrkanjaka has one more mouth to care about.
Tyrkanjaka helped him into a chair and looked around.
“Flower viewing is also called postprandial viewing. I will starve for three days and I will be very hungry, so let’s eat something first.”
Tirkanjaka, who was about to cook, realized that she knew nothing.
It is a body that does not need food itself. There was no such thing as a memory of cooking 1200 years ago. There is only common sense that if you put ingredients in water and boil it, it becomes a stew.
“…It would be better to find the ingredients first.”
Tyrkanjaka snooped around and found a cupboard high up. I managed to open the cupboard with the tip of my foot, but with Tyrkanjaka’s height, I could only barely see the lowest compartment.
The lower compartment contained only items such as cups and plates. Tyrkanjaka lifted herself up and headed for a higher compartment.
Leftover oil and used materials were stored in the middle compartment. Tyrkanjaka kept it in his memory and cast his gaze upwards as well.
What Tyrkanjaka, who reached the highest level, saw.
It was a miniature golem that wriggled while tied up.
“huh?”
The golem’s posture was strange. No, it was a look of malice and mischief to be called simply bizarre.
As if the golem was dreaming of an organism, it was sitting with its legs spread 180 degrees and its hips pressed together. It was like doing yoga.
However, if you look closely, you can see that it was not intentional, because my ankles were tightly tied to the wire and I couldn’t do it even if I wanted to.
The speaker removed from the mouth was placed in a place where the golem’s hand could barely reach. The golem, whose legs were tied, desperately stretched out its arm to retrieve the speaker, but could not reach it.
The designer made the distance calculation staggering.
It’s a little light to say torture, but it’s a perfect move to make your mind go crazy.
Tyrkanjaka muttered as he watched the golem whimper.
“Isn’t that the toy golem you saw last time?”
Recognizing Tyrkanjaka’s gaze, the golem desperately waved its arms. There was no speaker, so I didn’t make a voice, but anyone could see it was a rescue request.
“Are you asking me to release you?”
Nod.
The speakerless golem instead agreed with just as much enthusiasm.
Tyrkanjaka released the wire that bound the golem. Very slowly and carefully, the golem closed its splayed legs, grabbed its thighs with its arms, and rolled on the ground for a while. He seemed to be writhing in pain.
Soon after, the golem rose again and attached the speaker to its mouth. A sparse voice came out as if the speaker that had been reattached was broken.
『That damn thing… XX is definitely overstepping his powers…! This is treason…!]
Crackling, something between words and curses flowed, and the true golem finally cleared his throat and faced Tyrkanjaka.
『…Thank you for your cooperation. Founder Tirkanjaka. In this situation, I am embarrassed, but I ask for your cooperation.”
“I also had a question to ask. I will listen to your request first. Let’s exchange each other one by one.”
Tyrkanjaka made the suggestion leisurely.
『I will answer only if it is something the head office can say.』
“Isn’t that obvious? I will be silent on questions that are difficult to answer. How do you bring secret information out of your mouth, and even if you say it, how can you tell if it is a lie or not?”
『It must have been a rain gate. I will accept If so, I will ask the main question first.”
The golem clenched his fists and raised his head. Emotions couldn’t be felt from the hard body, but Tyrkanjaka somehow felt that the golem was dispelling unspeakable anger.
Before long, the golem spewed out words.
“Where is he?”
“He?”
If there was anyone that Golem could refer to, there was surely no one else. Tyrkanjaka immediately understood, and because of that, he was speechless as if he was troubled.
“If it’s the instructor you guys sent, huh. That’s where I… got into a bit of trouble.”
“Is this something you cannot answer?”
“It is not necessarily like that. he’s here once But…”
I can say without context that I lost my memory while trying to return the lost heart of Tyrkanjaka.
But isn’t that too irresponsible?
called the instructor. Considering its endless ability, it must have been a great timber to be responsible for the future of the country called the military state. By destroying such an existence, Tyrkanjaka inflicted great damage on the military.
Thinking like that, I’ve caused a lot of trouble. Tyrkanjaka felt guilty all over again.
“There is a lot to talk about. May I speak with a representative of your military for a moment?”
You will have to negotiate with the military to pay compensation for hurting him and to hand over his recruits. Tyrkanjaka said with that thought in mind.
“Did that reactionary do anything?”
The answer that came back was so unexpected that Tyrkanjaka blinked his eyes.
“Recoil… molecules?”
“Positive! The reactionary molecule that restrained this machine!]
The golem answered in a higher-than-usual voice.
Maybe it’s because I’m feeling the emotions again? Tyrkanjaka noticed that he picked up the emotion in his voice better than before.
Shijo, who regained his emotions, focused on the golem’s words, feeling interested in the unfamiliar sensation.
『The main building is obliged to observe the interior of Tantalus! However, he, who is only a laborer, has caused obstacles to the mission of the main building! This is obstruction of the administration of a Level 5 Security Facility and, depending on its severity, constitutes at least a Level 4 offense! He even committed a crime once and was sentenced to labor, so there is no minimum reprieve this time!!” He
restrained the golem and ran away. committed a crime by interfering with public affairs;
Have you already committed a sin once? Does it mean that he hated the military?
Tirkanjaka unknowingly defended him.
“Don’t be too angry. Bondi lord must respect the judgment of the general. It must have had some deep meaning.”
“I can say for sure that there is nothing like that. In the first place, this place is not even a fierce battle, and he is not even a general!”
“Didn’t your country send him here? As the lord of this estate. If you are a knight in charge of a territory, you can call it a general..”
『Injustice! He can’t even be a butler, let alone a knight! After all, it’s less than a slave!]
Isn’t it too much to treat people who are loyal to the country as slaves?
Besides, how dare you call him a slave?
Tirkanjaka tried to shout, half admonition, half in unexplained anger.
“Because he! I was hiding it from you and others! In fact, it is because he is a criminal who has committed a crime and received a sentence of hard labor in Tantalus!]
If the golem hadn’t conveyed the unexpected fact, he would have said it out of his mouth.
