How the Regressor Loves the Reincarnated

46. The whole world hates me

1.

“Surely there is a Scorpio here…? Is this accurate information? No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit far from the home of an assassin group.”

“Luke…? Can I take that comment now as a sign that you don’t believe me?”

“Oh, no. I didn’t mean it in that way, so don’t make a face that hurts like that even as a joke. I can feel the barrier that surrounds the entire wall. It’s just, what should I say… It’s true that the notorious Assassination Brigade and this ordinary orphanage are a bit of a mismatch, right?”

“That’s true, but… if Scorpio had settled down in a place where he would openly feel that this is our Assassination Brigade’s hideout, he would have been caught a long time ago even if someone caught him.”

“…Actually, just looking at the atmosphere around here, it seems formidably gloomy.”

It is so late that it is difficult to find even a shadow of a person on the streets of the outskirts of the island when the night is thick. Adele and I were having a conversation behind the fence of an orphanage, blocking the sound with magic.

“Compared to the area right next to it, the security seems pretty good.”

No matter how good the system is, it is inevitable that shadows will inevitably arise.

It was a bit difficult to say that the streets at night were safe because the outskirts, which were quite far from the important facilities of the system, were relatively low-security areas, but…

The surroundings of this orphanage were quiet enough to make people feel uncomfortable. It was hard to find the presence of homeless people who could only be seen occasionally in the outlying district, and the security was strangely good enough to give the impression that even the backstreet wranglers consciously avoided this district.

“Since this orphanage is not a point of contact for the Assassination Brigade, it must be said that it manages the surrounding environment on its own. Their way.”

It was said that if a flying insect crawled in here, it would disappear without a rumor. Therefore, the streets around this orphanage are not a safe place, but rather an area illegally occupied by the Assassination Brigade, which has long since lost its security.

“Let’s start slowly.”

Adele said after tapping my shoulder a couple of times. She nodded her head at her, then channeled her magical energy to break the barrier in front of her.

Perhaps it could have been taken for granted, but the barriers set up by the Assassination Brigade showed that they were made with more effort than those in the basement of the Imperial Library.

Quite different from the Imperial Library’s barrier, which only had the function of detecting living things passing through the barrier and sending signals, it can be seen as a fairly high-level barrier that shakes the body’s magical energy when an unauthorized person tries to pass through the barrier. There was.

Not only that, but the concept of signal transmission that conveys the existence of an intruder through the interlocking barrier inside was naturally included, and those who recklessly attempt to destroy the barrier automatically counterattack by infiltrating the magical barrier into the body. Until the concept of doing is included.

But breaking this barrier was surprisingly easy.

I started parfait, expecting it to be at least similar to, or slightly easier than, the barrier inside the secret library of the imperial family, but when I opened the lid, it was too easy.

I take control of the entire barrier like my magic flows like water, and the concept of counterattack is purely suppressed by the level of magic power.

I tried to dissipate the barrier completely under my influence, but changed my mind at the last moment. Because I came up with a better idea.

After completely pushing away the concept of barriers, they begin constructing new barriers based on the already created framework. What composes the barrier that is transforming completely differently from before is the magic that induces sleep forcibly, which was used to subdue the assassins in the villa two days ago.

“Sleep in the cradle.”

However, since it was composed based on a barrier that had already been completed, the holding power itself was different from the one I composed while running out of time that day. If left as it is, no one inside the barrier will be able to wake up until I release the barrier myself.

“…Is this so easy?”

Even I, the person who actually repaired the barrier, was dumbfounded. Could it be that there could be such a difference simply by increasing the amount of horse power? Or is it just that the skill of the wizard who created this barrier lags behind that of the wizard who created the barrier installed in the secret library of the imperial family?

I finished the reconstruction of the barrier, thinking that it might be the case for both sides.

“Luke, is Pafe not working well? The barrier still remains…”

“Hmm? No. I finished neutralizing it a long time ago, and I took ownership of the current barrier and overlaid it with sleep magic.”

“Huh… That’s a good decision. This will make things a lot easier.”

The original plan was to completely neutralize or destroy the barrier itself before entering, but there is no reason not to use what is available. Adele, as if agreeing with my judgment, nodded his head once and praised him, then kicked off the ground and jumped up.

Adele, who landed on the fence with light movements like a cat, lowered her stance and reached out to me.

Isn’t this kind of picture-perfect if the roles are reversed? And in fact, you can just use magic and get over it.

No, looking at the height of the fence, it seems that you can easily cross it alone.

“What are you doing, Luke? If I do this, my arms will all fall off.”

Ah, I don’t know. If you do it belatedly, only Adele will rise, and in such a case, wouldn’t it be right to follow her in moderation and protect her face? It’s a problem because I feel like I’m overflowing with consideration in a very useless place, thinking that way comfortably at the same time right now.

After a short run-up, he jumped up the fence and grabbed Adele’s hand. Afterwards, in the process of Adele pulling me up the fence, I almost lost my balance once because of the not very wide fence, but fortunately Adele grabbed me as if hugging me, so I was able to avoid such an unfortunate accident.

Because Adele and her body are so close together, even in this situation, this posture, where you can feel her curvy body naked, thumps as if it’s good, and I try to quickly calm her beating heart. . However, it was clear from the corner of her Adele’s mouth that was slightly raised that her attempt to do so was immediately discovered by her.

“Hehe, cute…”

Even Adele, who actually said that to me, was clumsy at hiding her true feelings. Adele’s arm, which did not lose her strength at all, beyond the point where she did not fall off my body even when she was supposed to, proved that she was also enjoying the current situation.

“Wouldn’t it be better to fill up your selfishness and go down now?”

“Ah, yes. Yes.”

After getting stabbed in the corner, Adele pouted her lips and loosened her arms that were holding me, then moved to her side to make room for me to stand comfortably. I felt sorry for not being able to maintain my previous posture for longer, but even so, I cannot continue to waste time on things that I can do at any time.

Let’s follow Adele, who jumped down the fence first and landed lightly.

“…Hmm.”

I can see Adele staring at me with a disapproving expression.

“No. No matter how it is, did you really intend to accept me going down? What the hell do you think of me that way…”

“Um… Who am I supposed to protect no matter what?”

Wow, that’s crazy. She grumbled playfully and said it casually, but she said Adele’s reaction was so sincere that she was surprised once and she was surprised by what it said.

“…Shall we go in first?”

She awkwardly asked her, turning her head away and avoiding Adele’s gaze.

To be honest, she’s in a pretty moody mood. Is it because you’re shy, or is it because you’re happy? At least, it’s to the point where I’m confused whether it’s just because I’m embarrassed.

“Puhyuk… Yes, I know the road, so I just have to trust myself and follow it.”

…No, did you laugh? I saved your face just by thinking of you, how could you do this to me.

But, keeping those thoughts in my heart, I decided to commit to the next one. Isn’t it said that it’s not too late for a gentleman’s revenge even if it takes 10 years? I will remember this resentment for now, and later pay it back in the best possible way.

As I walked along Adele, I noticed one thing, and that was the fact that the size of the orphanage facility was not that large compared to other houses in the district, apart from the clearly tall walls. A level that falls short of the minimum size needed to serve as a group’s headquarters.

By the way, this orphanage… How should I describe it? It is not uncommon to see unrepaired traces everywhere, and maybe it is because it is built of wood. Kinda, that…

Kiik-

“Damn it…!”

“Huh?”

“Oh, nothing.”

The sound of Adele opening the door made me unknowingly not just flinch, but even swear. No, what the hell are these people thinking, living without locking a door at night… What is the reason for living without properly maintaining even a single door hinge like this?

“Aha…”

Of course, there was no way Adele would miss such a case. Adele, who lifted her head as if realizing something about her, smiled strangely as if she could understand her meaning, and without a word, she stepped inside her orphanage.

I would have been less anxious if you had said something here. How viciously did he just pass this on to torment me over what just happened?

Isn’t it really that the whole world hates me? It was a night I couldn’t help thinking about.
