ALL NOVEL Chapter 49 – Test.
Nahida left Rimuru's house and went back to his hotel. He had to do something. Lucky couldn't take care of everything on his own. Besides, he didn't even know if Lucky could leave the hotel.
How could Rimuru want that after Nahida told him that Lucky couldn't leave the hotel because he might disappear? Was he listening?
"Nazuna..." However, when Nahida arrived at his hotel, he met Nazuna at reception. She was sitting at the counter, waiting for him. He remembered what he had said to her and started scratching his head.
"What? Did something happen?"
"I'm sorry, but I need to do something now. But I promise it will only take a few minutes. We can be together as soon as I finish this, okay?"
"I don't mind." Despite looking a little disappointed, Nazuna didn't complain.
"All right, I'll go to my room for a moment, okay? Keep an eye on the door."
"Okay, I'll do that."
'Well, that's what's left for me to do.' Nahida went to his room just because he wanted to use the bathroom. After he left the bathroom, he opened his system to hire a new employee. Yes, he was going to do that. After Nahida hired the new employee, he went to reception.
Nazuna was already talking to the new cook when Nahida arrived at the reception. He came faster than expected. It was instantaneous.
"Are you the new cook I hired? What's your name?"
"My name is Leo. It's a pleasure to meet you." The man's appearance was identical to Lucky's. Nahida would confuse them if they were both on level two and wearing the same clothes.
Nahida began to wonder if all the receptionists would be like Shelly.
"Nazuna, open the door, please."
"Hm? All right."
Nazuna went to the door and opened it. Leo was confused but didn't question it.
Then Nahida looked at him. Leo tilted his head, not understanding what Nahida wanted. Then Nahida pointed outside, showing him exactly what he wanted Leo to do.
"Do you want me to leave?" Leo swallowed his saliva. Like Lucky, he was scared. He didn't want to leave the hotel. Nahida realized this but still insisted that Leo go.
"It'll be fine." Nahida smiled. He didn't know what would happen, but he still decided to encourage Leo.
"All right, I'll do it." Leo was someone hired by Nahida. He had to obey him. He took slow steps toward the exit. Unlike the characters who can't go to worlds other than their own, Leo manages to get past the barrier, just like Nahida.
The first thing to pass through the barrier was his hand, but nothing happened. Leo breathed a sigh of relief.
"..." Leo was amazed. Contrary to what people imagined, he didn't know what would happen if he got out. The only thing he knew was that [ It's not a good idea to leave the hotel ].
And it wasn't a good idea.
After less than 10 seconds, Leo finally began to feel the side effects of what he had done. The first thing that happened was that Leo lost his senses. Sight, hearing, smell, all his senses were deactivated.
His body was completely paralyzed.
"Nahida, there's something wrong with him. You have to do something!" Nazuna shouted to Nahida, but he remained silent. He watched as Leo's body dissolved in front of his eyes.
Leo slowly began to melt.
And although it didn't look like it, it was extremely painful for Leo. He felt like his body was in hell, burning inside a pit of fiery lava. But since his voice was gone, he couldn't scream.
As he no longer had sight, he could no longer see where he was; as he no longer had hearing, he couldn't hear Nazuna shouting his name. Leo suffered slowly until the last piece of his body (his foot) was intact.
When everything was turned into a pile of molten metal, he turned into small silvery particles blown away by the wind.
There was no one in Tempest's street at the time. The only people who witnessed it were Nahida and Nazuna.
"What have you done?" Nazuna looked at Nahida, startled. However, Nahida only remained silent, in shock at what had happened.
"..."
####
The mood changed completely. Nazuna, who had previously been happy and eager to be alone with Nahida, was now completely terrified by what had happened. Not just her.
Nahida was, too.
Even though he was standing there silently, he was pretty nervous and frightened by the whole thing. He had just watched someone die before his eyes and did nothing to help him.
'No, it wasn't a person. It's just an android. It's not a real person. He probably didn't even feel pain. He just turned into a pile of metal, that's all. '
"Nahida, what did you do? What happened to him?"
"I don't know either. I wanted to test to see if the people I hire using my ability can visit other worlds."
"So you called that guy here just to kill him?!"
"Don't worry, it's not a real person, just like Lucky. They're just some kind of monster who can't feel anything. They have no feelings. He probably didn't even feel pain."
"Even so..." Nazuna was terrified, even though she knew Leo probably hadn't suffered. How did Nahida have the nerve to do that? How could he act so coldly? "I'm going home," Nazuna said.
"What?! Wait a minute. I promise I won't do this anymore."
"I just need some time to process all this. I'll see you tomorrow, Nahida." Nazuna smiled and left the hotel. After leaving, she closed the door so that Nahida couldn't follow her.
"Damn... I shouldn't have done that in front of her. I'm an idiot." Nahida sighed and went to his room.
