I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

22 – [1] Preparing to Escape

#022

It was the middle of the day when I was lying on my stomach.

Suddenly, I had a question.

“by the way. Why is your body so heavy? I feel like I have no sense.”

“Oh, that? I cut my side and back to get the ice out, but I put a lot of morphine back then.”

“morphine?”

When you watch a war movie, the one that you use against the injured and make them go round?

Of all the many, many narcotic painkillers?

No, more than that, why is he holding something like that?

“Just in case, I sneaked into the treatment room at my grandfather’s company.”

“Isn’t that a crime?”

“It’s not a crime if you don’t get caught, so what? And since it’s going to be mine anyway, what’s the crime?”

A regressor who steals SSS-class Hidden Peace as well as company assets.

Sooner or later, I might steal someone else’s ability.

“… … You said you cut my side and back, so how did you stitch it up?”

“It’s a suture, I solved it with this.”

A bloody medical stapler being taken out of a first aid kit.

A half-filled purple potion taken from a large bag.

“Elixir?”

Elixir or elixir.

A top-notch potion that can be said to be the end of an all-around potion.

As long as they used something like that and even sutured it with an iron core, there would be little chance of a big problem.

I struggled to stand up to check and tried to lift my clothes.

“Oh, I poured some extra elixir, but you better not look at the sides and back. I was a bit clumsy.”

“Approximately how much?”

“Originally, I was able to finish it with about 15 iron cores. I must have made a mistake and there are about 30 iron cores stuck in it.”

God my God.

The clothes were lifted, but had to be lowered again.

For some reason, it felt like a clear picture of what my body would look like now.

Before long, I looked at my broken left hand.

The swelling was still there, but the movement was a little better.

I looked at my thigh, which had been pierced by a blade.

Blood was seeping out of it, and it was hardened along with his clothes, and he was worried about tetanus.

Then I covered the eye on the side that wasn’t hit.

The eyes that had been hit by the club were severely cloudy.

It wasn’t that the hospital couldn’t treat it, but being in this state itself was a depressing feeling.

I let out a sigh.

“There is no such thing as a real mop.”

“Originally, that was the first time. You will gradually get used to it.”

Thousands talking as if I would become a Hunter.

Even if he went out there, there was no guarantee that he would become a Hunter due to talent problems.

Even if you have a lot of magical power, if you don’t have fundamental talent, you can’t become a hunter.

What’s more, my other talents were pretty poor, except for my low magical power.

“No. You have talent anyway, so will you get used to it soon?”

“Isn’t that too much fun?”

Physical abilities also decline.

His combat skills aren’t exceptional either.

There is no magic I know of.

I’m not going to lie, it felt like I was giving it too much air.

Apparently, since he was physically beaten for being sick, he seemed to be telling him to get drunk after receiving the mental blow as well.

“at all? Rather, it looks like you have enough talent, seeing as you penetrated from the lower floors to the upper floors with a single dagger.”

that anyone can do

Even the skeletons I dealt with were nothing more than F-class henchmen.

Anyway, because of her personality, if I said more than this, I would only brag about it, so I stopped talking.

When this side showed a cold reaction, the thousand horses drew their swords and flinched.

“Well, we can do the proof from now on.”

“… … proof? Isn’t that strange?”

“Of course not. Did I tell you earlier? I will be out of here within a day.”

You said that.

But I’m not sure if that makes sense.

If you think about what collapsed earlier, the roads must have been cut off everywhere.

There seemed to be a very high possibility of getting stuck in the middle while going up.

“We will not escape upward.”

Thousands pointed down.

There was a stone floor there.

“You want to pierce?”

“No, let’s go down further.”

You want to go down?

I want to be a nonsense that doesn’t work, but it wasn’t even a very nonsense.

Considering what was down there, I guessed what the other side was trying to do.

“uh… … is it marie? I don’t think escaping the ruins and dealing with the gate have much to do with it.”

gate clear.

It wasn’t bullsh*t, but it wasn’t particularly helpful either.

In this situation, it would have been more realistic to look around here and there through the vents on the side, since the gate was to be cleared.

“It doesn’t matter. But there is a way to make it relevant.”

“What?”

“Do you know how the destination of the exit gate is determined?”

entrance gate and exit gate.

It has several meanings, but is generally a term limited to dungeon gates.

The entrance gate is the gate through which you can enter the labyrinth in reality.

The exit gate is the gate through which you can exit from the labyrinth to reality.

Take the entrance gate to the exit gate.

Take the exit gate to the entrance gate.

In other words, the question of Thousands now was whether to come out to the entrance gate of reality when you get on the exit gate in the dungeon.

It wasn’t obvious, it was very natural.

“Because the exit and the entrance are connected. They will come out through the entrance gate.”

“right. Then, did you know that the location of the dungeon gate can change?”

Know.

Isn’t there an episode where the main character throws himself into the dungeon gate to survive a collapsing building, even if it’s just a gray zone?

The main character entered the dungeon, and the building in reality collapsed.

At this point, the player has two options to choose from.

One is to push the dungeon to the end and clear the episode.

Time wasted in this case, but I was able to get some pretty good items.

The other is to take the exit gate right behind you and return to reality.

In this case, the episode was omitted and the item was not obtained, but it had the advantage of being able to progress quickly.

What was unusual about this was that the gate was buried in a pile of buildings.

In the portals in numerous media, it was normal for the target to explode or die if an object overlapped with the doorway.

Fortunately, the gates of this world weren’t that inflexible.

The buried gate moved its position automatically.

I could say it was a really friendly system.

Except for the fact that it is impossible to block the gate through which the boss walks out.

And the formula for moving the gate to another location was whether the space above and below was appropriate.

Even if there was space next to it, the standard was the space above and below.

Accordingly, if the second option was chosen, the main character could walk out through the gate that reappeared on top of the wreckage.

“When the gate is buried in something, it changes position.”

“right. In addition, Hunter, who must have died now, said that. They say the dungeon gate here is in a hidden room deep in the bottom floor.”

“wait for a sec. you… … .”

“You are right. I’m going to collapse the entire gate room and enter the gate. And we’ll come out of the new gate on the ridge.”

It was absurd.

It was just a crazy plan.

If there were other spaces above and below the hidden room, it would have been a suicide ending for both of them.

Even if there was no space, it would have been a crushing death if you made a mistake when it collapsed.

no

It was questionable whether there was a way to destroy a room in the first place.

“How do you bury the gate?”

Except I can’t use magic properly.

Then she has to destroy it with magic alone, but is that really possible?

Right away, the image that Cheonma showed in the game was the swordsman itself.

Even the magic that was often used was focused on swordsmanship rather than high-powered magic.

It was a situation where only doubts were growing, and Cheonmari beat her chest like she was taking it off.

By the way, there was no sound.

“There are ways.”

I pulled out two sheets of rolled paper from the side of the bag that had nothing missing.

It was a paper with a waterproof coating, and fractal patterns were beautifully drawn on it.

“Tada— blast scrolls and seismic scrolls!”

“You brought something like that to the picnic?”

“You don’t know the future of human affairs, do you? I brought it just in case. I put it in because it was annoying while organizing my stuff, but I forgot to take it off before going on a picnic. That’s why I brought it.”

Oh, cynicism is unavoidable.

I got it right away.

However, this reckless plan did not make sense.

Anxiety that there may be wrong space above and below.

I was afraid that I might die in isolation—

‘But it’s the same as dying even if you’re here, right? Even if it’s extremely dangerous, I’d rather… … .’

I didn’t hear much.

The misjudgment was only momentary.

I nodded to her plan.

“Then, let’s prepare a few more things before we go.”

* * *

Chunmari prepared a few things for me before going downstairs.

The first is the basics of knife quality.

Since I’m a dagger and I don’t know how to use a weapon, the person himself taught me.

The one-on-one lecture on cutting from the regressors was truly rare and precious.

“Anyway, while doing Shusuk, Shusuk, Shyuk, Shivalum like this—”

Although the explanation is a bit cheesy.

Anyway, I was taught about 3 hours, so I was able to learn the basics of the basics.

“No, can I finish this in 3 hours? Wouldn’t it be better to learn more?”

“Because I don’t have time to do more than that. In addition, you learned it too quickly, and the information you could tell me was exhausted.”

“ah… … There are fewer movements that are lighter than I thought.”

“The basics of actual compressed steam are originally like that.”

Second, how to enchant the dagger.

The more mana is consumed, the more the condition of the body deteriorates.

However, he warned me that there might come a time when I need to deliver a powerful blow.

“Still, it’s fortunate that I know how to use magic taught at school.”

“Uh, I don’t know if it actually works.”

“Because it seems to me that it is true that mana is being operated. Don’t worry too much.”

Somehow, if I concentrate, I feel like I can achieve something, and sometimes I don’t.

Even if the magic power increased a little, it was still infinitely lacking.

Third, consumables.

Chunmari handed me some medicines.

It was all something unknown.

“Diphenylmethyl-sulfinylacetamide. In other words, modafinil.”

“Isn’t that a drowsiness stimulant?”

It was a drug that I had received and taken for a study problem in my previous life.

Although the results were not very good.

“It’s a drug that hunters often take when they’re active for a long time.”

“… … I’m in a mess right now, can I use it?”

“Are you okay? Even if there are side effects, they are minor anyway.”

if so what

I took one pill to chase the drowsiness right away.

The next place my eyes were directed was an unknown syringe without a brand.

“It’s morphine.”

“this.”

If it hurts too much, they told me to put it on my arm.

First of all, there is a danger, so it would be better to use it when the injury gets worse during a fight or when the wound bursts.

Even though it’s not much, prepare to be better than nothing.

We slowly headed downstairs, each holding his own weapon.
