Chapter 78 – Choose to Do It or Not

Katz didn’t answer.
But it doesn’t matter.
Words do not express all of a person’s feelings.
Although there is a difference in degree, people all hide their inner feelings and pretend.

If you want to know that person, you have to infer from conversations with someone, minor gestures and facial expressions after certain actions.

At least I thought that way, so I figured out others, and I also benefited from it.
…
And I admit that my idea was clumsy.
Is it because you’re a skilled regressor?
He was completely motionless in his eyes, mouth, fingers, or anything else.

Everyone has a habit, but it was like a well-made machine.
It is a mask worthy of admiration.

However, these few seconds.
Even for a short period of time, the fact that he looked at me as if he was exploring me without saying anything makes me think of many things.

Galyeong, because I am right, it may be to explore the human being. This is the best for me
But that was just too good for me.
Maybe it’s just that my words are dumbfounded.
What is this sickness inside? There’s a good chance you’ll think…

But I think the possibility of that is low.
Katz said.
What are you
That you didn’t see

It may mean that this guy has a powerful information network and that information network couldn’t catch me, but considering various factors such as what I did was not known to the world or why this guy didn’t bother looking for me, that possibility is low.

And, considering the contents of the character setting book, the conclusion drawn is a regressor.

The contents of the set-up were as follows.

[Kaitshiro

The protagonist of this game with a righteous heart.
It had endless possibilities to become anything.
Yes. It has the potential to be infinite.
Even if you fail, you can go back…]

That’s it.
It’s a very short sentence compared to the other characters.
I want the guy whose name is the main character to be too concise.

However, I felt the nuance of being a regressor in that explanation.
Even if you fail, you can go back to this part.

If this world were a game, it would mean that even if the game is over, you can start again.

But this is the real world.
The function most similar to that of the game is also regression.
I don’t know if he can choose the time he wants to return like a save load or if there are other conditions.

When I saw the phrase infinite, it seems that there is no limit to the number of times…

Yeah, actually it’s just my guess.
Still, it’s a guess that can’t be ignored.
Do you know how many years my gaming life has been?
At some point, many characters with the concept of a regressor began to appear in the game world, and you can tell that they are a child regressor just by looking at their tone.

Those bastards are wary of major events that will happen in the future, but they are extremely reckless in small actions.
For example, inadvertently throwing words that could be clues to an unknown irregular.

Regressors are behaviors because they have the mindset that it is enough to start over.
Even if you die because of a thoughtless remark, you can experience it and start over.
Even if I die after being defeated or tricked by me, from the next return to this guy, I will only become a child to be killed.

Judging by the tone of voice, it seems that he has gone back countless times.
I don’t think you’ve ever met me, but…

It seemed that he was concerned about the fact that he had stopped a dragon that he hadn’t seen before, or that he became the first stranger to become a lecturer and student at Pryunar Academy.

If this bastard’s words are true, then I’m the first one to be concerned.
That’s why I’m trying to get information by sticking my sword in first.
Fighting here is a bad decision in many ways.

Still, I feel like I’m going to go to the middle of the day, should I try it?
Or, should we dig for more information?
I was contemplating how to open my mouth, but thankfully, Kitz opened her mouth.

“What bullshit?”
“Until now, I purposely avoided meeting you, but I can’t anymore.”

It was an absurd bullshit that didn’t answer the question, but Kitz was rather more focused.
I don’t know who I am
Not knowing is scary.
Yes?

“I don’t know how many regressions you’ve been through, but I’ll give you some advice. Don’t be too cocky, even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

A moment of silence, and then.

“What are you?”

That question was almost like affirming that he was a regressor.

“What is it? Stranger Dredge.”
“Don’t bullshit.”

It’s completely untrue.
You seem to want a lie, so I will tell you a lie.

“The Prophet.”
“…A prophet?”
“I can predict your actions and avoid them, but I don’t know about your past. He’s that kind of guy.”
“…”
“Frostia was also defeated with this power.”

Kitz narrowed his eyes, as if he had guessed at the word Frostia.

It will be confusing.
Even if it seems like a lie, even if you don’t want to believe it, if you’re a prophet, everything that’s happened so far makes sense, right? Right?
Understand and be comfortable.

However, Kitz still seemed unwilling to reap the sword. Her eyes were full of doubt.
But what if you doubt it?
You said you’ve never seen me?
But why have you never seen me?
Did I search before I even looked?

Well, there is a high possibility that Yuna ran after her in Mirf Village.
When I fought the crazy bitch Slime Yuna, who calls herself an idol, I thought this world was purely a game, so it must have been perfect for me to get caught off guard.
Were you lucky in this episode?

“…”
“Well, what would you do if you saw it like that?”

As I laughed at the hero, I suddenly thought of the gods.
What are the gods thinking?
Why did you give me information called a character setting book?
If they were going to give the information, they would give it properly. Why did they pretend to be a game and not give them the right to revive that other strangers have?
What do you want from me
It seemed that it had nothing to do with the fact that Kitz hadn’t met me until now.

Could it be because the thought was long? Kite pushed hard with the sword she had bound, putting pressure on me.
Tighten up, fuck it.

“Tell me the truth.”
“Did you just tell the truth?”
“Sounds funny. Is it something that can stop Frostia from seeing her future? If that was possible, that prophetess would have done it.”

Be a prophetess
Another piece of information I wasn’t familiar with.

“Frostia’s advent rate was low. I induced it. There were many other factors, so she was barely able to stop it.”
“Do you know how shallow you talk?”

Fuck. Don’t eat
The world is not easily solved. Let’s push through to the end though.

“It’s up to you whether you believe it or not, but know this. I saved the world from a crisis instead of you? Is there any reason to criticize me? Warrior.”
“…”

The animosity still lingers.

What to do with this
To be honest. There’s nothing to be gained by provoking this guy.
It’s best to just pretend to be a colleague, get information, and avoid danger.
Since you’re a regressor, shouldn’t you know what’s dangerous in the future?
However, I didn’t want to.

What do I want to do

Looking back, all I did in this world up until now was revenge or survival.

Even now, food, clothing and shelter have been solved, but the body is currently disintegrating, so it is still struggling to survive.

There is nothing wrong with my body yet, it’s just that I can’t touch it, I’m dying.
But survival is something you have to do, not something you want to do.

What I want… Yeah, it’s fun
So concluded.

I came to this world because I wanted to fight the same battle after seeing the ten heroes in action, which I originally thought was a game trailer.
Being strong is directly related to survival, but it is also enjoyable.

I have work to do in the world I was in.
Before I started that job, the game I started to take care of myself had become almost everything to me before I knew it.

Because the game was ordinary fun unlike reality.
Yes I want to have fun
And I don’t like this fucking good-looking handsome warrior.
It’s already annoying, but even doing this shit, I want to fuck it.
I want to pay the same thing to the chewy who interferes with my joy.

Malice for malice.

I came to a conclusion about what I wanted to do within myself.

“Have you finally stopped one of the eight monster kings? Aren’t you too slow?”
“…A prophet would know. They…”

I try to say something, but I close my mouth.
Oh, I guess I’ll spit out something advanced?
Shall we scrape some more?

“In the first place. Doesn’t the fact that you haven’t met me until now mean that you’ve been quite an asshole?”
“What?”
“That’s right. If you were a proper guy, you would have contacted me. But to think that you’ve just met me for the first time… How stupid and trashy you must have been in the previous episode.”

As he laughed, Kaitsu’s eyes narrowed.
He didn’t seem particularly upset.
Is it because of a lot of regression? The mentality is strong.

“Huh.”

Suddenly, Kitz laughed unluckily. What. Why are you splitting it up?

“Are you a prophet?”
“Yes.”
“Then you know what I’m going to do next.”
“Note…”

Uh, this bastard…
I was evasive in a sudden situation.

“Because my abilities are limited.”
“Even if you can only see big events like that prophetess or your own crisis like those with prophecy abilities, if you’re a true prophet, you’ll know what I’m going to do next.”
“…”
“No, you must have already seen it. And you must have contacted me.”

Oh fuck
This cub intend to attack.
No, seeing the nuance that prophets can know the danger of their own death, they intend to kill me.

I don’t know why, but I’m full of hostility.
To be precise, rather than me, it seemed to project someone through me.
Did you get into trouble with an Asian who looked similar to me before returning?
Or maybe she’s the prophetess I mentioned earlier.

Keying

The sword glows… Gun fake.
The truth is on the swordsman side. They’re aiming for my neck.

When the sword is struggling, he removes the sword and attacks. Disengaging in jargon.
After pushing my sword away and running backwards, Kitz charges again and swings his sword.
Cut off the sword of …

All of this action took less than a second.

Caang!

“?!”

Ugh.

My wrists are tingling.
My bones were cracking and my hands were sore.
He endured the pain and stood firm.

Oh my god. You stabbed it when it was perfectly loophole?
Besides, this is a cutting knife?

Kiyin.

Looking closely, the light of courtesy was blocking the power of the slicing sword.
Wasn’t it just a trick?
He said he was a warrior, and as his name suggests, he’s very brazen.

Surprisingly, he also had his eyes slightly wide open.
Kitz took two steps back.
Not a retreat preparing something

But don’t chase it.
Then his attack will definitely hit me.

Neither can this situation. I can’t move carelessly.
The difference in specs is too great.

But more than the fear of losing, the anger was greater.
I’m anxious while doubting and attacking just because I don’t know.
Of course, it’s a lot to say that I’m a prophet.

“Is it a ruin property?”
“?”
“It doesn’t seem like a simple impersonation of a prophet. But even that would be too much for Frostia…”

What is he saying now.
It wasn’t something he said to me from the middle, it was a self-talk.
That pissed me off
The madman started off by saying bullshit that he had never seen it during the regression until now, and then what? Ignore?

Fire.

Fire burns from the sword.
Kitz frowned.

“You use destruction and flames together to deal with them?”
“Let’s do it right, you bastard.”

At least I’ll cut that shiny sword in two.
Kitsu stood still, then brought his hand to his chest.
He’s trying to get something out, even if he doesn’t know what it is.
Do you want to let it go?

Dig!

Kicked the ground
I was in a situation where I was sure to get hit if I moved carelessly, but I couldn’t stay still when he showed the action of taking out an item.
I thought it wouldn’t necessarily be a hit because I was doing a different motion.

Wow!

This time, an ice pick rises from the ground.
This fucking guy has all sorts of talents.
It’s easy to dodge, but then Kitz will land a follow-up.
No, it’s not going to fly, but it’s already close by.

Oh damn
Is there any difference?
Seeing Kite’s attack, I transform my body.

Paaah.

Kang!

“?!”

Katz’s sword bounced off.
He said he didn’t know that the attack would bounce back, but this time his eyes widened to the size of a fire lantern.
Yes it will
That attack from earlier was a sword attack that, if spread, would blow up the whole area.
What the fuck do you use that on people?

I haven’t trained properly yet, but I’ll try using it.
‘Absolute Sword’.
Sup. Take a breath and focus.
Kitsu seemed to sense something about her, and her face hardened and her sword shone brightly.

At that time.
I sensed a sign approaching.

Keying…

Kitz extinguished the light and I hurriedly turned it off as well.
And she drew her sword at the same time.

“Dre?”

On the roof of the building.
Refeld was looking down at us with a worried face.
Fortunately, it seems that they did not know that they were fighting because they gathered their energy right before the sighting.
To be precise, it is a feeling of having heart and not physical evidence.

…
Oh fuck Why did you put the sword in?
First of all, you’re a kid who had a fight.

Fearing that there would be another fight here and there for touching the hero, I remembered Gold or Clair, to be precise, and withdrew my sword.

Of course, there was a reason he didn’t want to get caught up in the approaching Lefelt.

I stopped attacking for complex reasons, but I never thought he would attack first.
Even though there is still suspicion and hostility towards me in their eyes.

Come to think of it, did you say that you have a righteous personality in the setting book?
It seems that he is reluctant to let someone who is not related to him be involved.
I like it, but everything else is a fucking baby.

Ah. I really want to lose.

Let’s move to another place with eyes, he said, “Ten kid.”
But Kitz didn’t understand what was this asshole talking about? See with the eyes of this bastard.

Jump.

Refeld jumped off the roof and landed lightly after kicking the wall of the building.
That armor must be quite heavy, but Rafelt is also a high-level knight.

“I felt an unusual energy, so I hurriedly ran… Are you okay, Dre-sama?”
“Yes. It’s fine.”

Lefelt let out a sigh of relief only after confirming that I was safe.
And. I want to cuddle.
If it was another woman, she would have taken care of the young warrior unconditionally.
And Les Felt turned his head away with a look of embarrassment, as if he had finally reached the hero’s mind.

“…Are you okay with the hero? She told Sir Anna that she had a place to visit for a while.”
“…”

Kitsu didn’t answer, but her face had returned to her as a good person.
Just watch him play the fucking bastard.

“I’ve caused you concern. I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry. No. But just in case…”

Did you guys fight?
I wanted to ask that question, but the atmosphere seemed impossible.

“Yes. I was observing Dre-sama’s technique.”
“Oh, so that’s why you two are together.”

Even as he said that, Refeld’s face was filled with doubt.
What are these guys doing this for? It’s all obvious to think that.

Clap clap clap

“Uh?”

Les Felt was alerted by the sound of applause and grabbed his shield.
Kitsu and I are on guard, staring at each other.

“…”
“…”

Clap clap clap clap.

“Where… Ah!”
“…”
“…”

Pair! Pair! Pair! Pair! Pair!

Rather than applause from the middle, it’s just the noise of strong hands hitting each other.
Oh that’s so damn noisy
Fuck you, don’t even look at me.

“No, you bastards. If people ask you to look at them, you shouldn’t look at them like that pretty knight!”

The man sitting on the roof is Huong. Jump down.

Bang!

Unlike Repelt, I just jumped onto the stage cannon and the stone floor collapsed a little.
You are ignorant…
However, actions cannot be ignored even if they are ignorant.

I don’t know about Kitz, but Lesfeld and I didn’t feel this man’s presence until right before we clapped.

He’s a fucking strong guy
Normally, he would never be ignored.

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t take my eyes off Kitz.
Do you know what that bastard will do when he opens his eyes?
Kitz must have had the same thought, so we were still keeping an eye on each other.

“Have you been staring at each other since before? Are you guys like that? Huh? Homo?”
“What the fuck?”
“…You misunderstood.”

However, I couldn’t help but react because the mysterious man was making so much noise.
The hero’s eyes flashed.
More than that, kitz bastard. Seeing your face tremble when you were silent at first, you barely held back from cursing, you fucking bastard?
A dog that is completely different from the outside.

The bastard smiled skillfully and said.

“Continental Sword. You’re Kang Geomil.”
“Hmm?”

Steel sword?
Is it a Korean name?
A man dressed in black overalls with a huge sword on his back spread his arms wide.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by the warrior.”
“How could you not know one of the strangers belonging to the highest class?”

A top-notch stranger?
According to Ashita, there are some of the most powerful among the strangers who are said to be transcendants of the other world.

Is it this person?

Kang Geom-il held out his hand to the warrior, and the young warrior shook hands without hesitation.
Then he takes his hand away, and this time he holds out his hand to me.

“Hello. Eight days.”
“…”
“I wanted to meet you. I’m a pro…”
“You wanted to meet a man. Are you a homo?”
“…”
“…”

What is Kang Gum-il’s identity? I looked at him with that expression.
Fuck. The homo voice paid off. What. Why.
At that time, Lefeldt shouted.

“Oh, right! This is not the time, Mr. Dre.”
“Why is that?”

What followed was something that would interest the two men beside me as well as me.

“Your Majesty has made a schedule for the nongongsang. Tomorrow, you have to go to the palace.”

***

Dre is gone.

‘No way, I didn’t know that there would be someone who would pour out such abusive language on Mr. Kalalir…’

It was so sudden that I couldn’t understand why, but it was cool inside.
Because Ashita was well aware of how insidious Kalalir was and what an excellent woman she was.
That’s why her dumb face is so precious.

Ashita thought blankly of Dre.
Then, suddenly, I was worried about what Dre would think of Medeus, who had followed him that morning.
I was happy because it seemed like he was jealous of me for looking upset.

‘…What.’

Why does he keep thinking only of Dre?
In order to raise my father and Apiz to the top, I have to be friendly with excellent people of high status.
The hero, Kitz, was someone he had to become friends with.

Not only through the eyes of personal connections, but also as a woman, a man who is good-looking, capable, and even kind is a man who deserves to be liked.

But.
Asita was so concerned with Dre that she couldn’t even think of Kitz.

“…I must be crazy.”

Ashita tried to ignore his own feelings.
Still, I didn’t want to admit it.
