Extra After the Ending

4. Kid(3)

Kid(3)

“… Pretending to be nice… I’m a bad person… “

Looking at Yuri muttering with her stiff face, the sense of incongruity I felt earlier came up.

If you think about it, it makes sense. When a high-tension kid, hot like the summer sun, suddenly has a cold face like the northwest wind blowing through Siberia on a winter day, you can’t help but notice.

Who the hell is that voice? I started to have doubts. Are you a gangster who can make this little boy so serious?

“Gulp.”

How vicious is he to make such a bright kid like this? I had the feeling that if a thug appeared, I would jump before him. Is this the heart of a poor dog?

“Yuri~~!!”

A voice getting closer and closer. The little boy shrank a little more and hid behind me.

-Kokok

The way I hold on to my clothes is like a trembling rabbit in front of a fox, so I feel like I can’t bear running alone with him.

As I was making up my mind like that, I began to see human figures near the hill. The appearance that appeared was a middle-aged man in his late 40s with a sad look.

I wanted something like this on her face as the pulse was unraveling.

Is this correct? I wondered how vicious a human would come out, but the tension disappeared when a face appeared that was more normal than I thought, so that I wouldn’t be able to quarrel with others.

– Kkwaak

Then, feeling the pressure around her waist, I looked to the side again and saw the little boy shedding a little cold sweat. Oh, that’s not it. It was not easy to judge just by looking at the appearance.

I felt like I was getting my mind back. That was what the little boy said in the first place. A bad person pretending to be nice…

I need to be really nervous about this. I didn’t just believe the words of the little boy. There must have been a reaction like this because he had experienced something, but it was clear that the child’s ability was the basis for that hatred and fear.

It wasn’t a complacent belief that there would be special skills in a fantasy world. It was a belief in a scientific (?) Skill.

Until recently, it was a long story, but after seeing many people, it became clear.

One of the skills that were included in the status window thrown by the system. I couldn’t see it properly because I had a mental breakdown at the growth limit of B–, but now I know for sure.

[Sensing Ability (B)]

– Detect this ability.

You never know what abilities the other person is using or how strong they are. It’s just that they have this ability and can tell where that person is located.

It was a skill that gave me the impression that when I met someone with this ability, I would jump out and look at it. There was no friendly function that would open a system window and display its location.

It just comes with a feeling. It reminds me of the time when Choco (dachshund, male, dead), a dog I raised at my home, madly licked the soles of my feet whenever I slept.

Something tickling and uncomfortable. At first, I thought it was an illusion, but this feeling does not come from other ordinary people. Maybe it’s because the little boy doesn’t recognize that he’s an enemy right now, but he doesn’t feel much, but when he concentrates, he can feel it.

Other skills felt the same way. A skill tree that raises survivability to the limit while remaining as invisible as possible in the dark. If you enter the special forces of the real army, it is a total set of capabilities that can catch even the nuclear pigs of the North alive.

As expected, the growth limit is B–class, and it feels like it has the title of the best veteran in the field, but here is a place overflowing with monsters cutting mountains with one sword.

If it had been real, it would have been legendary, but… No, even here, it would be at the level of raw meat, but it was not enough to get out of the main character’s assist (slave). To be precise, it was set up just right for slavery.

Anyway, that’s what it is. It was a well-founded inference and conclusion. As I watched the middle-aged man approaching, I thought about how to respond.

“Yuri! You were here. I have been looking for it for a long time.”

The middle-aged man spoke to me with a worried expression on his face, even slightly tearing up.

“….”

A kid who just throws it away. Like an old man, I thought, ‘What kind of attitude do you treat adults!?’ Confucian dragon in me who is disgusting and careless!

“Hello?”

“… ? Ah yes hello. But who are you… ?”

First of all, I was blown away. It’s okay to eat or not to eat.

“Yes. I am an advantageous and friendly neighborhood older brother. I live in the XX apartment over there.”

“… I’m not your brother….”

A little boy’s voice from behind. His strong will is amazing, and even at this moment, I was slightly impressed by the way he pushed for the title of man.

“I haven’t heard anything about you from Yuri, so may I know who you are?”

“Ah, yes, yes. You are friends with Yuri. hahahaha.. I’m worse than that person.”

He smiles as if he is self-deprecating and shows a slightly detached expression. Since the world looks pitiful, sympathy even rises. Can you imagine that there’s something disgusting in there? I wouldn’t have even thought of this without the skill.

“I am Yuri’s stepfather.”

Ooh. Is this a bit strong? I wondered how difficult it would be to avoid being a person who had to live in one house. Now kid, isn’t that guy playing goo or something like that? Possible to refute?

“….”

I looked back, but all I got back was silence. At least it wasn’t Gura. First of all, in terms of ‘to be’ people, it would be virtually South-South, but that’s legally, and socially, they were overwhelmingly closer than me.

If it was a non-existent relationship, I would have stopped it if I tried to protect it as much as possible, but only like this is it a free pass.

“My mother Yuri is very worried. I’m sorry to disturb you when I’m with you, but I think I need to take Yuri.”

After saying that, stepfather (Jin) approaches Yuri and reaches out his hand.

“You are not my father!!!”

It was a loud cry. The little boy looked at his stepdad with a ferocious and cold face that seemed to come out of a morning drama.

“You… Who are you, you say you are my father!!”

“Yuri….”

“Disgusting. It’s annoying… ! What you did to me..!!”

“Yuri!!!”

The stepdad cuts off the little girl when she tries to say something. At that moment, I saw a crack in the mask he was wearing. Her expression was as if she was frustrated with her stepdaughter who didn’t follow her, but she couldn’t hide it.

Those shiny eyes couldn’t lie. It was disgusting to see it overflowing with false desires. I hope it was like that.

“Yuri… Do I really need to call her mom? Should I listen to her mother’s concerns again?”

“… Ugh….”

The little boy seemed to be stuck with her mother. No, she doesn’t exactly love her mother too much. Every time she came up with a conversation she said she was a mother. Those are words full of love. Seeing her stepdad popping out, it must be a situation where she has a lot of memories with her mother in a single-parent family.

I don’t know, but in this state, the words of a little boy are nothing but the whining of a child. If she looked at that guy, she would have been packaged as a plausible figure socially, so no matter what she appealed to, it would have been an empty cry.

“That’s right, Yuuri, your mother must be worried. Should I just go in?”

“… To?”

A little boy staring blankly at me with a face as if he had been cut in the foot by an ax that he trusted. No, don’t tell her she’s guilty of looking at you like that, please.

“Hey, I also had a hard time hanging out with you all day~ Good kids, it’s time to go home.”

“Eh…? To?”

“hahahaha, thank you for telling me on your behalf. Yuri, should we go now?”

The man couldn’t come to his senses and approached Yuri with a dazed face and took her hand and led her.

“Why? It’s white…? Why?”

The impact seemed to be bigger, probably because of the fairly firm belief in the skill. If you look at it, it’s annoying, but it’s like passing it on to someone you don’t like, so the feeling of betrayal is no joke.

By the time Yuri’s back figure disappeared, she raised her hands.

-Wooung

As I concentrated, I muttered as I watched the group of lights gathering between my hands.

“Trace.”

[Trace (B)]

– Track the target.

It was a dirty simple skill description. But the effect was certain. The blue line engraved on the floor, which I saw a lot in X Space, clearly told me where the kid had gone.

“Let’s get started.”

……………………

‘Why? Was it white? It looked like a sketchbook I just bought at a stationery store.’

Yuri couldn’t come to his senses. It was because she was shocked that she had abandoned herself even though she was whiter than any other color that she could normally feel with her ability. Her ability, she said, was basically the ability to grasp the personality or tendencies of the other person, and if she went deeper, she could discern who was helpful to her.

She must have been a real no-nonsense person, considering that her parents, who were so devoted to her, also had black tees.

But that person abandoned himself. Why? Why?

Did I do something wrong? No… It may have been that he got tired of blindly clinging to people he was seeing for the first time, swarming with them, and even getting food from them. Such thoughts began to rise in her mind.

‘It’s stupid. Wanting help while doing something to be hated on?’

Maybe I was too excited about the pure white color. She was proud of being an adult in her own way, but at that moment, she poured out all of her whining that she wouldn’t normally do.

“Yuri, did you have an older brother in the neighborhood who was close to you while being so rough?”

“… !!”

“It makes me sad when my dad gets so mad at me for grabbing my shoulder and doesn’t even kiss me, but sticks around like that to a bastard I don’t know what it is.”

“Who… Dad….”

“Who is the father who will marry your mother?”

Saying that, she puts her hand on her shoulder. She instinctively tried to get away with her goosebumps sprouting, but was forced to give up because of her strength.

“Yes, yes. Let’s do it slowly. Shall we do Yuri’s most precious first time after we get married?”

Yuri felt her goosebumps rising. Even if she is 10 years old, she knows everything. She definitely got into teaching girls about s*x in school.

“If you weren’t a weird kid, you wouldn’t have been able to pick persimmons… kuk kuk. It’s so easy to be seen as a weirdo even by her mother-in-law.”

A side effect that came out when she did not hide her abilities and expressed them outside.

When gates appeared in the world and monsters began to simmer, most of the abilities that appeared to save mankind were intuitive and immediate. Like her ability, it didn’t help in battle, and I couldn’t find the ability to distinguish people’s personalities.

No one believed her when she kept claiming to have such an ability.

Those are the words of a child at a very young age. It must have been more like a delusion because her ability itself was abstract and lacking in expressiveness.

As time went by, her words became infinitely lighter, and from a certain point on, no matter what she said, she couldn’t believe it. Even her parents.

‘Is it so wrong that I didn’t lie? Enough to go through this?’

It was so unfortunate. My eyes were damp and my throat was choking, but I couldn’t express it. Because it was useless anyway. I endured it like that.

‘Please… Please, someone save me….’
