I Am the Only Totem in This World

Episode 194. IF – If the Cathedral Was Fine (5)

Episode 194 IF – If the cathedral was fine (5)

After a long time, I reissued my passport and boarded a plane to the United States.

Since I wasn’t used to traveling abroad, I left everything to Hannah. I did my own research, but it didn’t help much.

“Believe me. “I’ve been wandering around in a fantasy world with a map with poor performance, but this is just a piece of gum.”

Unlike me, who lived as a totem without limbs in a fantasy world, Hannah has been exploring this world by walking and running. After looking at some maps and blogs on the internet, she mastered her trip to the United States.

“Would you like to call me sister? Sanz’s younger brother.”

“What do you say when you’re a year younger than me?”

“Wow.”

She lightly blew her chestnuts on Hannah’s forehead, who was confident.

Still, thanks to her, she came to America without having to worry about herself, so we have to acknowledge it. She put down her luggage and sat down.

Boom-!

After the announcement, the plane takes off. I crouched slightly.

“Hey. Why do I break out in a cold sweat? “Where does it hurt?”

Hannah lightly brushed my hand and asked as if she was worried.

Ah. Did it show?

“Not a big deal. “It’s been a while since I’ve been on a plane, so I’m nervous.”

“Are you okay. You’ll get used to it soon. If your ears hurt in the middle of the day, just drink water or chew gum.”

“Okay.”

Actually, I had a nightmare before I came here.

– Sanz! Are you here?

It was a terrible dream in which Charon appeared on a zombie Malak and hijacked the plane I was on. This dream seemed very realistic until Charon appeared, so I was completely fooled.

From being attacked while jogging, to being attacked while on a date, and now even dreaming of being hijacked. There is nothing like this.

Thinking back, it was absolutely ridiculous, but at the time, I thought the real Charon had appeared and made a fuss about her.

I hugged Hannah, who was sitting next to her, and was trembling. Even thinking about it again, it was really ugly.

“I’ll close my eyes for a moment.”

I felt like even if I stayed awake, I would only have ominous thoughts, so I went to sleep. You won’t have nightmares until here, right?

If I dream about it, I will really bite my tongue.

“Sans. “Everyone is here.”

“…Hmm.”

When I woke up, I found myself in America. I slept soundly for the first time in a while.

I left the airport and took a taxi. I plan to rest well at the hotel today and then go to the fan meeting tomorrow afternoon.

“Only returnees will come, right? “Who would come to a game fan meeting that has been held for 10 years?”

Hannah asked me with dreamy eyes if she was already looking forward to it.

“Maybe so?”

“So, about 80 people will come? “I might be able to see Sister Bella and Jackson.”

Hmm. My thoughts are different.

“Wouldn’t there be quite a few people who decided to live without their memories? Honestly, it wasn’t a good memory for everyone.”

Demon Apocalypse. Meeting people is difficult, and surviving is even more difficult. It was a scary world where if you did something wrong, you could get infected by an infection or get caught in the ‘devil’s vision’ and die.

Because Hanna endured well and made her own memories, she made the choice to have memories, but that wouldn’t be normal.

“Is it… Still, about 30 people will come, right?”

The figure was confirmed to be less than half.

“I’m going to see you tomorrow, so why are you worrying? Let’s get some rest first. “I need to take care of my condition.”

It wasn’t something I should say when I was in the worst condition due to nightmares.

“I need to sleep more. “I’m tired today.”

I laid down a blanket on the floor. The hotel fee was difficult to cover with the salary of a supermarket part-timer, so I decided to share a room with Hannah.

There really is no other intention.

It was when I was trying to sleep, feeling the touch of the hard floor that didn’t change even when I laid down the blanket.

“…Isn’t it cold?”

I could hear Hannah talking softly from the side of the bed where she was lying. I chuckled.

“It can’t be cold even though it’s summer.”

I know I didn’t mean it that way, but it’s human psychology to want to make fun of someone.

“Oh, no. Isn’t the floor hard? No, it can be cold even in summer, right? It’s not even a floor boiler like in Korea. “I really can’t say anything.”

While making excuses, Hannah timidly mumbled and got angry. I couldn’t see her face because of the composition, but she must have been very red by now.

“It’s hard.”

“…The bed is wide, so I think it would be okay for two people to sleep. “Here.”

It looks like you’ve lost track of progress since coming overseas. After all, new events and new places are progress in relationships.

Hannah said what she said.

“And if you sleep in a place like that, your condition will get worse.”

“Of course.”

It’s rude to throw a tantrum after going this far.

Slowly raised her body.

“Then am I really going up?”

“…”

“Really?”

“…You say so.”

In fact, I also needed ‘direct warmth’ from people. I didn’t say it, but I was physically lonely.

He lasted two years in totem status. If you don’t get sore every night, you’re not a man.

I slowly climbed onto the bed. Hanna, whose ears were as red as a tomato, was looking towards the wall.

It is the same color as dyed hair.

“It’s soft. “It’s spacious.”

I turned off the light.

This heavy and cool sensation. Now it’s time to go back to ‘Ultra Sans crazy in love mode on a moonlit night’.

***

After a long night, I headed to the ‘Survival as a Paladin’ fan gathering place with Hannah.

“…”

“…”

The inevitable awkwardness of the day of the wedding ceremony. I had experienced it a few times, so I was familiar with it, but it didn’t seem to be the case for Hannah.

“…Ugh.”

Hannah glances at me as she walks behind me, and when her eyes meet, I reflexively turn my head.

I tried to comfort him a few times, telling him it was okay, but it didn’t seem to have any effect. It’s a first experience, but it’s probably even more awkward because the relationship started as friends.

“Hannah. “I’m not good at giving directions.”

In a calm tone, she advised Hanna to give directions in front of her.

You may be thinking, “What else are you asking me to do?”, But in cases like this, it’s better to do something public(?) First. ‘Shouldn’t we go to the meeting first?’ That’s it.

“Oh, yes. Okay. “Wait a minute.”

It was Hanna who was moving around hesitantly and using the map. Even if it’s like this now, it will get better with time.

After changing taxis several times, she arrived at the fan meeting place.

“Oh.”

Did she say she rented an entire building? It was a place as big as a wedding hall.

“Oh, over there!”

As I was about to enter, a man spoke to me from behind.

When I turned around, there was a handsome Asian man and a chubby Asian man.

Both are familiar faces.

“…Siwoo? Monkey?”

Although the race changed and it became a bit uglier(?) Than in this world, it was clear that ‘Morning Tent Installer’ and ‘I Believed in the Monkey Man’.

“Yes! I thought you were Korean! “I dressed just like a Korean!”

A handsome Asian man, Siwoo, approached us.

“Hello!” You’re a returner, right? “Comrades, comrades!”

Siwoo gave me a friendly handshake and asked me various questions. Instead of Hannah, who was shy, I answered.

“Wow, Sanzu and Netkama? Really?”

“The hair color was somehow similar.”

Siwoo stuck out his tongue, and the monkey was impressed.

“Sanzu, this is my first time meeting you in person! Haha!”

Siwoo laughed. He was a handsome alpha male who was over 180 cm tall. Such a deceiver.

I entered the building with my group, which quickly grew to four.

“Wow.”

“It’s global.”

As Siu said, it looked global because there were people of various skin colors from all over the world. Everyone was talking while drinking liquor or eating food from a tray.

This is the real Returned Comrades’ Association.

Since I couldn’t participate in the conversation because I wasn’t good at English, I joined a group of only Koreans. Since the original was a Korean game, there were more Koreans.

A few hours later, a woman walked out on the stage in front of her, under the spotlight.

She was a woman who looked good in women’s suits. The word ‘cool’ goes better than ‘pretty’.

From the way he walks, he is full of moderation, as if he is not an ordinary person. At least it must be Princess Dina.

[Hello. This is Dina Silverstein. You can call me ‘Princess Dina.’]

A screen behind Dina translated her words into several languages. Is it the latest technology? It’s fascinating.

[This event was held with permission from the administration, so you can rest assured. All the food and drinks are provided by me, so let’s have a good time together… ]

A man who appeared to be a bodyguard burst onto the stage and whispered something in Dina’s ear

[Homelessness… ? What? You said he was a close-range spy? Let me in.]

I must have used a high-performance translator, so even my self-talk was translated. But that’s not the point.

“Close-in?”

“A close friend?”

Siu, the monkey, and even Hanna responded by shaking their shoulders. I was also very interested.

After a while, a scruffy man appeared with his bodyguards

“Wow Mr. Na. I will never come to America again. Why are there so many scammers? “I almost lost my organs.”

The name of the man who appeared grumbling was Geuncheop. What can I say? The original version is fine, but the behavior and gestures are a bit odd.

Okay. It was just like ‘close contact’.

“Nice to meet! Comrades! Leader of the Gozaburo raid team! You are a close-range spy!”

“…”

After shaking off his clothes a few times, he grinned at us and shouted loudly, but no one responded with applause.

“Foot.”

I burst out laughing without realizing it.

This bastard suffered so much, but ultimately chose not to lose his memory.
