#388. did you fall for me
* * *
It happened in an instant.
Not even one bullet flew.
The fact that Yekathrice, whose head was shot, was limp as if she was sticking her upper body out of the carriage.
The military band, which had been playing splendid military music just a moment ago, stopped playing and the crowd cheering and waving flags froze.
Yu Na-gyeong, who witnessed the sudden assassination, stiffened with her beak wide open, and even Limon fell silent.
What broke the silence was a single shout.
“Brothers, wake up!”
what skill did you use?
It was a man who had permeated into the wall and hid himself, but jumped up with a shout.
Wearing a red belt on his head and holding a sniper rifle in one hand, he spoke in a booming voice in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
“Until now, we had to live like slaves under the oppression of the evil Great Khan and the Silver Dragon clan!”
“But now it is time to fight back!”
“If you have any fears, forget them!”
“Abandon any hesitation!”
“The Savior will be with us in our noble fight, so let’s forget labor and fight together to restore freedom and equality!”
It seems like it was deliberate from the beginning.
His shout, even using the speaker, resonated loudly in the quiet street.
But that’s all.
No one responded to the man’s shouts.
Amid uncontrollable fear and anxiety, only the sound of swallowing dry saliva resonated loudly.
To encourage them, the sniper opened his mouth again.
No, I was trying to open my mouth.
mate mate mate.
“Wow, what a great speech.”
“…!”
“It was so thrilling that even the corpse lying in the grave jumped up.”
with light hand clapping.
A crackling sound echoes.
That would be if the silver-haired girl, who had been stretched out like a corpse, hadn’t woken up.
“Uh… how? The special bullet definitely hit!”
I don’t know if it’s an ordinary bullet.
A special bullet that kills even high-level players instantly.
Seeing the sniper groan in disbelief and astonishment, Yekathrice giggled.
“Special bullets? Oh this?”
just do it
The moment I tapped the side of my head.
Bullets tumbled through her hair.
Instead of the blood and brains that should have been buried, they were trapped in thick ice shards like a shield.
“It’s nice to have prepared with great care, but it’s too slow. You should have prepared a bullet that is at least 100 times faster than this to kill me.”
“What nonsense…!”
“I’m sorry, anyway.”
When the sniper moaned, realizing only too late that she had never been hit by a bullet.
Yekathrice looked away.
And looking at the crowd of hundreds of thousands who were still frozen, he smiled brightly.
“If there were any accomplices who responded to that wonderful speech, they would have caught them together, but it seems like everyone else is a good and sincere honorable citizen besides you.”
That moment.
The faces of the hundreds of thousands of people turned pale.
The fear of being cornered as an accomplice.
Reassurance about not responding.
Despair, etc., when expectations came to reality.
A single girl’s smile drove hundreds of thousands of people into a frenzy, making them breathless.
“This monster…!”
Taang!
Is it the power of boiling anger?
In the midst of freezing fear, the sniper fired again.
His marksmanship, which aimed precisely at her forehead regardless of the heavy recoil, was outstanding even by the standards of a high-level player.
One problem.
His target wasn’t just a high-level player.
Spot!
Silver eyes shining.
After her hand moves.
The sniper’s eyes widened.
It was because his own bullet, which should have flown at supersonic speed, disappeared before he knew it.
Tang Taang!
Tried several times, the result was the same.
Every time Yekathrice waved a hand, the bullets he fired disappeared as if evaporating in the air.
When the sniper, who has repeated the process several times, puts on a look of despair at the gunshot that doesn’t go off no matter how many times he pulls the trigger.
“Is this the end?”
Patter.
Ekatriche, who poured out six bullets from her wide-open grip, tilted her head slightly.
The moment when she saw the despair on the sniper’s face, her lips curled slightly.
spot.
“Then it is my turn now.”
“…!”
Yekatrice disappeared before she knew it.
A light whisper came from behind.
Frightened, the sniper reflexively drew his dagger and swung it backwards.
But the results were disastrous.
Before even swinging the dagger.
The silver-haired girl’s hold on his wrists had turned them into pieces of ice.
Blasphemy!
“Quaaaaaagh!”
From the wrist to the fingers and then to the forearm.
As if it was covered with liquid nitrogen…
No, the pain of the body freezing faster than that, minus hundreds.
Above all, he couldn’t stand the chill that seeped into his bones and tried to step back with a terrible scream.
But that’s just a vain wish.
Even with all my abilities as a high-level player, I couldn’t shake off Yekatrice’s hand, and the ice quickly spread from my arms to my shoulders.
“Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
Seeing the man struggling in panic, Yekathrice giggled.
and whispered
“Don’t we have too many things to talk about to end it simply like this?”
“…!”
The man’s face finally turned blue.
The fact that he did not know how long he could keep his mouth shut as much as he knew the fate of his captured brothers.
More than anything, the sadistic smile on her face shook my firm convictions and made me feel fear.
So it was.
The man broke it.
aww
When I activated the switch hidden in my mouth, white light radiated from the top.
After confirming the activation of the special bomb he had prepared for self-determination, he exclaimed with his last breath.
“All power to the Soviets (Вся власть Советам)!”
I wouldn’t be able to kill Yekathrice to this extent, but at least I could avoid spitting out the brothers’ information and dying painfully.
So he laughed.
Believing that his death will be the cornerstone for liberation.
But…
blatantly.
“…why why?!”
Freezing several times faster.
The light of the explosion gradually faded.
The man, who could not believe that the special bomb, which had been given special cold resistance by using the explosion item, simply froze. His eyes widened.
But he was not even given time to understand the situation.
“Good night brother. I’ll give you special permission, so while you sleep, dream about me.”
“not…!”
A man stained with despair and astonishment and turned into an ice statue.
Yekathrice finally let go of his wrist.
Then, seeing the ugly distorted face of the man, he laughed happily and opened his mouth lightly.
“Can I leave the cleaning up for you, Kana?”
“of course. I will send you to the torture chamber with 100% certainty.”
“Yes, keep it.”
did it ever appear?
The silver-haired maid, who was waiting in the far back, elegantly lifted her skirt and answered instead.
After leaving the ice cube like that.
Yekathrice slowly turned her head.
And with a cheerful smile, he spoke to the crowd of hundreds of thousands who had frozen in fear and tension at the sight of him freezing the man.
“What are you doing? The welcome ceremony will not continue.”
“Wow… Waaaaaaa!”
“Long live the Great Great Khan!”
“May there be infinite glory in the future of the Russian Khanate!”
right after that.
The crowd waved their flags again, no matter who came first, and cheered just as before…
or rather more fervently.
With a forced smile on his hardened face, as if he was afraid that he would be treated as an accomplice with the man.
For a while, I was satisfied with the look.
Yekathrice said lightly as she climbed into the vehicle Limon and Ainsha were riding.
“Let’s start again.”
Her order was promptly executed.
From the fireworks that were fired again to the cavalry who calmly resumed their march.
Down the street where everything was back to normal, the car they were riding in started to slow down again.
as if nothing had happened.
Or, as if he had seen such a spectacle.
“Ahaha, sorry to keep you waiting.”
whether bullets fly
Whether the sniper is caught by her.
Limon, who had been sitting with his arms folded and watching silently, only opened his mouth in a squeamish manner after hearing her apology.
“Compared to the grandiose welcome ceremony, the preparations are careless.”
“I know. My younger brother is coming so I told him to put it away well, but to see it like this is embarrassing to me.”
“Looks like you’re having a lot of fun with that, doesn’t it?”
“Ah, even a joke. Who would love to almost die.”
It’s been a while since the bullets flew.
Contrary to the answer, it took a long time to look at Yekathrice, who had a cheerful smile.
Limon said plainly.
“It’s up to you to attack the person who tried to kill you, but do it in moderation.”
“Yeah, I’ll try.”
“….”
“Why are you looking at me with such hot eyes?”
I even tilted my head for a moment.
Yekathrice’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“oh! Have you ever fallen for me?”
“Are you crazy?”
Limon’s expression looked as if he had bitten off a lump of salt.
However, Yekathrice nodded her head with a proud face, as if accepting Limon’s reaction positively.
“Well, I am the second most beautiful princess in the Seven Dragons. If you keep looking at it, you will fall in love with it. Yep.”
“….”
“Then should we just get married at this point? The guests will be gathered like this. Swordsmith, if you want, I don’t mind holding the ceremony right away.”
As if to prove that it is not just words.
The moment Yekathrice, her cheeks flushed, was about to shout to open the window and prepare her wedding dress.
The expressionless white-haired girl opened her mouth.
“Yekatrice.”
“Why Ainsha? Are you worried that I might get hurt?”
“Your vehicle is that wagon. Not this car. But I want to know why you rode here.”
“…huh?”
Maybe it’s because I heard something so unexpected.
I blinked my eyes for a moment as if all the excitement I had been talking about was a lie.
Yekathrice opened her mouth tremblingly.
“I just almost got shot? I don’t know if I’ll be right again if I ride there? Besides, this is the garage I prepared after all.”
“I don’t know. Get off immediately.”
“No, wait…!”
before she even protested.
Ainsha unfolded several strands of thread with a celestial net and wrapped it tightly around Yekatrice.
He immediately opened the car door and kicked her in the butt, throwing her out of the car.
Udangtang!
“Kyauk!”
“Ah, no matter how you do it, you don’t have to throw your head first.”
“Of course, I’m glad you want to play with me like this, but I’d rather have something more fun…” ”
…but Ainsha, why don’t you stop the car?”
“You really don’t want to leave me alone, do you? huh?”
“…”
“Sniff.”
Great Great Khan.
Dictator of the Russian Khanate.
The terrifying princess of the silver dragon clan.
The silver-haired girl, who had been shaking off her creepy sense of intimidation, was tied up and abandoned on the street, sobbing.
A silver-haired maid appeared out of nowhere and carried her.
So, there was only one thing that hundreds of thousands of people could do while watching Yekathrice being loaded onto the wagon like a piece of luggage.
Instead of the fear of a moment ago, there was only silence in fatal absurdity and stupidity.
