Episode 195 IF – If the cathedral was fine (6)

The silence was brief. As soon as the close-range spy walked towards us, countless questions poured in.

“What? Are you really a close-range spy?”

“A sincere young man.”

“It must be the young man who went to Mattaengi.”

“Why are you dressed like that? “Did you get robbed?”

“Why do you only post shitty things on the community?”

“Is it true that bodies believed to be part of George’s raid were discovered inside the body of a dead evil spirit? The evil spirit was planning something… “

“Why is the nickname ‘close-knit spy’? Do you mean ninja? (Why is the nickname ‘close-in spy’? Does it mean ninja?)”

“Don’t even talk about ninjas. When I think about having my teeth pulled out as a child… After.”

“Is it really a close match in real life? “You too are a ‘comrade’ who uses Luluweb, right?”

“You bastard! How are you… It doesn’t seem like he lost, but he was alive! I’m a ghoul! “Commander of the close-quarters attack team!”

“I never thought we’d meet each other alive like this.”

“Shock… Close range spy… Turned out to be homeless… “

“You look more manly than what you used to do.”

“Hum. Honestly, I think Gozaburo should have ended with a bad ending. The fact that a ruthless killer who goes around killing people gets a happy ending with his girlfriend is a big problem for glorifying a villain, but it doesn’t fit the bill of punishment… “

“There’s another one here.”

The response was enthusiastic, as befits the most popular star in the community, or rather, among the returnees (you can call him a superstar in the sense that he is full of fans).

People who were sipping liquor in the corner also approached him with smiling expressions.

“Aww, I’m hungry. I starved all day and my stomach hurts. Let’s eat something first.”

The melee spy waved his hand and sat down at a desk piled with food. The returnees quickly moved to sit next to him.

You have become quite an idol.

I snorted once and chatted with my companions. Although it was nice to see a close-quarters spy, he didn’t go out of his way to pretend to know someone while he was eating.

“Hello. My name is XXX, and I was active in the community under the nickname ‘Corrupt Power Knight.’ Nice to meet you all.”

It was when Hanna, I, Siu, and the monkey were talking. A man who appeared to be in his 30s or 40s greeted me. It was like a greeting given to Korean returnees, including our group.

Fallen Power Knight. This is a user who did not lose hope even in the world of the demonic apocalypse and consistently posted information.

Unlike Siwoo or Noah, he was someone I personally recruited because I admired his ability and passion. I looked at him.

He was a very intelligent-looking man with well-combed hair and a neat suit.

He was a smart person after all.

“Oh, hello. In the entire community… He was active under the nickname ‘Sans’. He served as Malak’s messenger.”

I also said hello to him. Since he was a person who greatly helped the Tribal Alliance until the last war, I wanted to go out favorably.

“Hello!” “I’m a ‘morning tent installation engineer’!”

“I believed in Mr. Monkey.”

“…’Not Netcama’.”

It was a time when we were speaking to each other with our full name instead of with our full name.

“Ah! Sanzu-san!”

A person came towards me. She was a beautifully dressed woman, like a new college student.

Sanz-san. Did you hear me say ‘Sans’? Considering she uses the title ‘Sang’, she looks like she’s Japanese.

The woman mumbled something in Japanese and pointed her finger at herself.

“Atashi Petitnoa!”

“Huh?”

What. It was Noah. I quickly turned on the translator app, Papago. Noah also gave an expression of disappointment, as if he had just realized that she couldn’t communicate with her.

The idiotic attitude is still the same.

“Hi Noah. “It’s my first time seeing it in person.”

My words were translated into text through the app. Noah smiled brightly after examining the contents.

“What is it, Noah? “Is that Noah?”

“Konnichiwa! Hajimemashite! “Yoroshiku!”

“It seems strangely similar, but not similar… Does it feel a bit big? Is it because I have just become an adult?”

Tarak Power, Siwoo, and Hanna welcomed her warmly.

“It’s ripe…”

“Hey, you crazy guy.”

There was also a monkey that got hit on the head by Siwoo while talking nonsense.

[I’m currently attending university! Don’t be surprised when you hear this! Surprisingly, she became a student at Ochanomizu Women’s University!]

She’s been missing for two years, so maybe she went straight to college? She was curious about the situation, but she didn’t bother to ask. It’s probably not a very bright story.

While she was talking like that, another person approached.

“Hello. It is ‘the first choice in every corner of the room.'”

She was a woman in her 20s who looked good in glasses.

“All the Paladins of the Tribal Alliance are gathered here? Have a drink~!”

Siwoo raised his glass. Noah said she could drink since she was not a minor and she poured herself some liquor.

“For the Tribal Alliance!”

“”For!””

Ta-da!

We lost track of time talking about the tribal alliance.

I don’t know if it was because we were part of the same group or because we were together during the most painful times, but I felt a deep bond with them.

I am sure they feel the same way as I do. It can’t be.

That’s right.

“Wow, I still think about catching the Dark Cloud Demon! “It really makes my heart feel bigger!”

Fallen Power Knight.

“That kid was a loser, wasn’t he? “He was an ordinary person, right?”

I believed in the monkey man.

“I was really scared of the Seven-Headed Dragon Demon. I was worried that Malak would lose.”

Morning tent installation technician.

“Seven-headed dragons? I didn’t even see the fight to stop the high-ranking demon. “You were playing in the back, right?”

Not Netcam.

[There is no way Malak can lose! You lack faith!]

Petite Noah.

Everyone is speaking quickly with bright eyes.

How many hours have passed? The conversation was slowly coming to an end.

“Hya~! Come to think of it, what is that! “There was one special guy!”

The voice of a close-quarters spy who is heavily drunk can be heard up to here.

“What are you talking about… ! Skull Mountains! Okay! It’s time to live near there! “I’ve seen a really weird-looking devil!”

The conversation must have ended quickly, so I listened intently, wondering what they were talking about.

A strange-looking devil? What is it?

“When was that? That dark cloud devil! It must have been months before that bastard was subjugated!”

I giggled and then boom! The close-quarters spy spat phlegm into a tissue and continued.

If you look at him, he’s an Asian homeless man who comes to the restaurant in a drunken state and gets into trouble.

“Someone is walking around and making strange noises. When I went there, I found a strange creature that looked like a combination of several animals! It was a devil that looked like a chimera!

He was crawling on all fours as if he had escaped from somewhere after being beaten! “My whole body turned red!”

“…!”

What is it? I couldn’t explain it, but I had a strong intuition.

I have a ridiculous intuition that the monster the close-quarters spy is talking about is Charon, who survived the Dark Cloud Demon.

“At first glance, he was a high-ranking devil. Normally, I would have avoided it because it was annoying, but as soon as I saw that bastard’s ugly appearance, I suddenly got angry.

This guy will get stronger. The only one who can kill him now is me. Let’s go kill this bastard. Only then can everyone survive.

“I don’t know what possessed me, but I just lunged at him.”

“Well, so? What happened?!”

Unable to resist, I approached the close-quarters spy.

“What are you again? Why all of a sudden… Shut up!”

The close-range spy who glanced at me jerked.

“I’m Sanz. Ultra Sanz goes crazy in annihilation mode on a moonlit night.”

“…Were they the three legendary knights…? ! He was a man I recognized… “Wow!”

Instead of speaking with a serious expression, I patted the back of the guy who was doing his job.

This guy is the same on Earth.

“So, what did you do?”

I caught the close-quarters spy who was hesitating with his eyes wide open and asked him one more time.

I don’t know if that demon is the real Charon or not. Still, he really wanted to hear the ending. I felt like only then I could sleep with my feet stretched out.

The close-quarters spy purred and quivered his lips and spoke confidently (he seemed to have gone away, perhaps because he was very drunk).

“What should I do? I finished it off by hitting all the skills. It was thoroughly destroyed leaving no trace. Several ghosts disappeared while making screaming noises. He was a creepy devil until the end.”

“Ah… !”

A greater sense of relief came to me than I expected. I sat down helplessly.

“Sans, what’s wrong? What is it all of a sudden?”

Hannah, who was supporting me, looked worried. I couldn’t explain it to her.

“Oh, no. “I guess I’m feeling a bit tipsy.”

The corners of my mouth went up without me knowing. Thank god. I’m so glad.

***

After the meeting, we went back to the hotel. I hugged Hannah.

“Tsk.”

It was Hanna who made strange noises but did not avoid them.

“…”

Lakhe. Dig. Canto. The faces of my congregation, including Harry and Luna, come to mind. They will be living well in this world with Jinmalak.

Contrary to my worries, there were no problems. Happily.

Good. Then… I should be happy too.

I closed my eyes, sucking in the shampoo scent from her hair through my nose.

“…A perverted bastard.”

It is a lavender scent that brings stability. I felt like I could sleep well today.
