Chapter 379 – 379. The First Great Requisition of the Sage (3)
– One –
‘We need to find a place to escape to.’
‘Where do you think would be good?’
‘Surely it must be one of the outbacks, right? Anywhere outside of Regal’s influence.’
‘This is the least crazy place, but…’
‘Unfortunately, I’ll have to find the next one.’
‘Then it’s south.’
‘If it’s in the south, is it near the mine area, brother?’
‘That’s right.’
‘In that case, brother and sister Margarita, please go there. Search for the best place to hide in the vicinity, and return or contact us as soon as you find it.’
‘What are the remaining people planning to do in the meantime?’
‘Of course…’
Shureuk, shureureuk!
Shaaaaa
Monohorn pours out this ability.
Make something round
“Monohon.”
“Ah, Ada. Welcome.”
Beat, beat, beat.
She naturally came to Monohorn’s side,
Evil, evil.
Knock knock.
She wipes the beads of sweat on his forehead with her own sleeve.
Her Mono Horn smiles at her.
She wonders if Monohorn’s smile doesn’t suit her,
“Ah…”
Doo-kung, doo-kung, doo-kung, doo-kung.
Still blushing in her face, shy.
She looks at his smile and thinks she’ll go into heat again,
“What is it?”
She casually turns to what her monohorn is making.
“Oh, is this?”
Monohorn’s gaze also naturally heads towards it.
Ada breathes a sigh of relief behind her back.
“He’s the one we’ll use when we run away.”
“Ah…If I ride this, will I be able to go much faster than relying entirely on Jose?”
“Probably so. There are still some problems, but if you solve them, you can go into combat right away. Let’s light a fire here,”
Monohorn explains enthusiastically.
Ada didn’t understand it all, but she was sure he had made something great of her.
She didn’t meet her gaze with him, but
Doo-kung-du-kung, doo-kung-du-kung!
Just watching him focus on her something makes her heart race.
“…So, if everyone joins forces, we’ll be able to escape safely.”
At the end of the explanation,
Swoop.
Monohorn turns to Ada.
Ada didn’t even listen to her explanation, and she blankly looked at the profile of Monohorn, so the two of them naturally met eyes.
Startle.
“… Ah, ah… I see…! It’s amazing, Monohorn!”
“So don’t worry, Ada. Nothing will happen.”
“Yes yes!”
Mono Horn notices that she doesn’t listen to her, but doesn’t point out or embarrass her.
It’s because she noticed that she had been looking for her because she couldn’t overcome her insecurities.
She said that if she could just suppress her anxiety, she would be a spectacle.
“Are Maman and the others doing what I asked for?”
“Yes, yes. But I had nothing to do there, and nothing to help others, so I felt like I was just hanging around. So I came here because I wanted to help at least Monohorn… It seems I can’t help much here either. “
“Why can’t I help you?”
“Yes yes?”
Ada closes her eyes.
In her head, she ponders for a moment how she can help Mono Horn.
But not finding her answer, she asks him back.
“Am I…? Is there anything I can do to help Monohorn?”
“Yes.”
Monohorn confirms it.
A blush blooms in her face.
“What, what can I help you with?”
Seed profit.
Monohorn smiles brightly.
Jerk, jerk, jerk.
Come to Ada.
She stares into the eyes of her Mono Horn.
As Mono Horn’s eyes widen, she sees a gentle ripple in her eyes.
Squeak.
“Ha, ha ha!”
A monohorn wraps around her waist.
Took.
Touch each other’s foreheads
Pong!
Ada’s face turns red like it’s about to explode.
“Please stay by my side, Ada. I think that alone will be of great strength.”
“Ah, ah… Yes, yes…♡”
She shyly lowers her head.
Any more than that, she felt that if Mono Horn came face to face with her, her heart might explode.
Squeak.
“Ah…”
Her monohorn releases her arms from her and walks away.
I expected him to give me even a light kiss on the cheek, lips, or forehead, but he was mercilessly pulling away.
He was too blunt.
Behind his back, when she pouts her lips and suppresses her displeasure,
“Ada.”
A mono horn calls her out of nowhere.
“Yes, yes↗e↘!”
She vocally uttered her out of tune, but Mono Horn gentlemanly pretended not to know it.
“I have a favor.”
“Yes, yes! I’ll do anything!”
It was her sincerity.
“While I’m working, please tell me a story next to you.”
“What are you talking about?”
“While I was with the goddess, I want to know how Ada has been and how the others have been.”
“Ah…”
Her eyes are stained with sadness
“I heard Maman’s story almost every night. I’ve heard brief stories from others as well. But I haven’t heard anything about Ada.”
Swoop.
Monohorn’s gaze returns to her.
“There, with the help of the Goddess, I checked everyone including Ada from time to time, but I couldn’t just stare at them all the time. “
“I see…”
“So the first thing I wanted to do when I came back was to hear how everyone was doing.
Monohorn laughs bitterly.
Then she turns her head again.
“Will you listen to my request?”
“Yes! As much as you like! After Monohorn became like that,”
Ada begins to chatter.
A smile forms on Monohorn’s lips.
Occasionally he throws a chuimsae or asks questions.
Ada searches her memory as best she can.
Although she didn’t have deep skinship, she wasn’t bad.
– 2 –
A few days later, the beginning of the unexplored land.
“Arrange a wagon.”
“It’s not possible.”
“…I have to get out of here.”
“Never been permitted.”
“…”
When the Regal enlisted vehemently refused,
Woo woo woo woo.
The tall old man, Vladnok, sighed.
She shakes her head vigorously.
He still boasted of a large physique, but he had lost a lot of weight compared to when he first set foot on the outback.
With his jawline starting to show, it was clear that at least one adult male had slipped out of his body.
“Look.”
“Nothing to do. Return to your barracks.”
“…”
Vlad Nok drops his head.
But don’t turn around
“Look. Can’t you just listen to this poor old man for a moment, no, just one more time?”
“…”
The Regal private looks him up and down with eyes filled with disgust.
Garbage with nothing to do, consuming almost three servings of food every meal, making fun of female agents and soldiers at every opportunity, and exhaling the smell of chestnut flowers all over.
However, since he accompanied them under the pretext of being a guest in Chiba, it seemed like there would be an infinite amount of trouble to kill or kick them out without permission from the superiors.
That was the general assessment of Vladnok.
Of course, the soldiers who dealt with Vladnok also evaluated him the same way.
“I’m busy, so please go back.”
“Aren’t you standing there blankly looking at a place where no one is coming anyway?”
“I’m on a vigilance mission.”
“I’m saying that because it’s no different than doing nothing.”
“…Foot.”
The soldier swears.
He turned to Vlad Nok, full of the feeling that he would have torn to pieces ten million times if he could.
“What do you mean?”
Vladnok admires it.
While rejoicing,
Thump, thump, thump.
Dump.
Rocking.
I came close to him and immediately sat down.
There was no truth.
“It’s because you didn’t tell me, I fully understand your situation.”
“If you understand, go back quickly,”
“That’s why. I’m not going to say I’m going back to the system.”
“…”
No matter what the soldier said back, Vladnok intended to just say what he had to say.
“I heard that there is a fortress built by Your Highness nearby?”
“…”
“Since it’s been used as a main supply base, I’ve heard that carriages go there every day.”
“That, how to do that…”
The soldier starts breaking out in a cold sweat.
Vladnok brought it up because it was an obvious secret.
“Ah, man. If you live in this world until you’re old enough, you’ll naturally develop that kind of keen eye. A large number of people like this are always stationed in the field, so why not have a supply base nearby?”
“Ouch…”
A groaning sound escaped from the soldier’s mouth.
He begins to sneak away from Vladnok’s gaze.
At the same time, Vladnok’s smile deepens.
He made no secret of the euphoria of victory.
“I swear to the Goddess that I will not disclose this to the outside world. Aam. Of course, I will keep silent until I enter the tomb. There is no place to tell the outside world, and I do not have the ability to do so. Besides, I am not saying that I will go somewhere else. I’m just not used to life in the field, so I just want to go to a place where I can live indoors. As long as I can avoid the autumn frost and cold wind, I don’t have to go all the way to the islands.”
Momentum and push at once.
In order to score a victory point, a wedge is driven in an instant.
“I know very well that you do not have the ability to let me go, nor do you have the authority to judge it. So please report it to your superior. That is the only thing I ask of you.”
By inducing him to hand over the responsibility of judgment to his superior, the reason he should worry is also fundamentally removed.
Compared to Vladnok, he was just a novice, so the soldier had no choice but to listen to his words.
“…Is that really enough?”
“Ah. Of course. I won’t ask you more than I do.”
“… Even if I say something, the superior may reject it,”
“Ah, man. What are you saying out of the ordinary? Isn’t judgment made by your superiors and superiors? No matter what conclusion comes to it, I will unconditionally follow it, so don’t worry about anything and just report it.”
“Haa… I see…”
That evening.
As usual, hundreds of wagons belonging to the Regal’s supply corps left the Regal’s camp.
But unlike usual, one more carriage followed at the end of the procession.
Unlike other wagons that roll lightly after putting down their load, its movement seemed particularly dull and formidable.
– 3 –
“Brother Fraffin.”
“Ah, is it a monohorn?”
He was shocked when he heard the news that the second expeditionary force of the Imperial Army was massacred again.
Because of that, even when Monohorn awoke, it was no different from a dead person.
It was because everyone was in chaos, and because Monohorn had somehow become strange, no one thought to take care of him.
“Huh. Did you come to chat with me today?”
“Yeah, well… I don’t think there will be time if not now to have a conversation with my brother.”
However, from then on, by periodically consulting with Monohorn about the future, he was able to clear away a lot of the confusion that had engulfed him inside.
He hadn’t completely lost his way yet, but he had at least regained the composure to step out of the room.
“Is it…”
“Yes. There are also quite important agendas.”
“Hmm… Are you going to start another war?”
“Yes.”
Monohorn answered decisively.
His eyes twinkle dizzily.
“This time with His Majesty’s soldiers,”
“No. No. I think I’ll have a fight with the Regal’s soldiers.”
“Umm…”
A groan escapes from his mouth.
“Are you guys warmongers…? In my eyes, you look like you’re impatient because you can’t die…”
“It’s a struggle to live, well. And this time, annihilation is not the goal.”
“Then?”
“Escape is the goal.”
“Ah… Is that so…?”
Fraffin’s expression softened slightly.
“Then, can you take me with you then?”
“Of course. I’m here to talk about it.”
“Ah… I see… I’m glad I did.”
Frapin nods his head in relief.
“And let’s discuss life after that for a moment.”
“After that?”
“Yes. After that.”
Monohorn’s eyes fell silent.
In the silence and stillness, I still look into Fraffin’s eyes.
This behavior usually causes anxiety in the other person, but the monohorn’s silence did not.
Of course, it was a story that was established only after returning.
Even when he was rescued after being in danger of being executed in the first expedition of the Imperial Army, Fraffin was quite afraid of Monohon.
However, the reason why it was not revealed is that Monohorn fell into a coma without having time to properly face Fraffin.
So, in Fraffin’s judgment, the man Monohorn appeared to be a sage with ageless wisdom, a man well suited to silence.
It was an illusion that could have been made because he didn’t know his madness, beating, and dark history.
“Ready to listen, so feel free to advise.”
“Hyung. You said you once heard advice from Sister Demosi, didn’t you?”
“That’s right. At that time, my wife advised me that it would be reasonable for me to decide my future according to my decision to participate in Eros Paradise.”
“And I added that you should definitely discuss it with me.”
“That’s right.”
Mono Horn nods his head.
With a serious expression that doesn’t contain a smile at all, he slowly opens his mouth.
“I tell you this in all seriousness, never participate in Eros Paradise. Don’t participate even by mistake, don’t drink for the rest of your life, and don’t go to brothels. Live the rest of your life secluded in a quiet place, with a woman of a different race as your companion. Do not get involved in anything, whether it be the Imperial Army, the Imperial Family, the nobility, or the participants, and live peacefully like a petit bourgeois. Even if you become a slash-and-burn citizen, you will be able to live a much more peaceful, prosperous, and beautiful life than being involved in this mess.”
“Also…”
Fraffin nodded.
He seemed already convinced that Monohorn would advise him that way.
“Okay.”
“Aren’t you asking why?”
“It must be because hell will unfold. Isn’t it?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Seed profit.
Monohorn laughs.
Like before falling into a coma, he smiles full of madness.
Looking at it,
Oh so so so so.
Goosebumps sprout all over Fraffin’s body.
His body stiffened completely from the overwhelming feeling of incongruity.
“Brother.”
“Uh, uh…”
“This is a poorly designed game from the planning stage.”
“Uh, uh…?”
“It’s a game where the couple who loves the most on earth becomes the winner and becomes the next god. But isn’t it funny? It has no choice but to be. It means that the inevitable separation of life is scheduled.”
“Ahhh…”
As if his brain had been damaged, Fraffin had no choice but to give an ambiguous answer.
It was because I was completely overwhelmed by the momentum of the monohorn.
“That’s the smallest problem, though.”
“What, what…?”
“The rules do not impose any restrictions on killing other contestants, even if they are told to make great love. As long as all the other contestants die and only one couple survives because of it, even if they hate each other, You naturally become the winners. God and the Pope hating each other is really ridiculous, isn’t it?”
“That…”
Fraffin shudders in devastation.
He was excited for a while after realizing that although it was somewhat dangerous due to the competition, he could acquire supernatural powers if he became a participant.
However, I never imagined that there would be such a blind spot.
“Do you think that’s the only problem? Thanks to the sloppy recruiting of participants, whether it’s waiting for participation or the main game is in progress, as long as the lockdown continues, all participants can live forever. Now that’s why I’m The continent is breaking apart.”
“Yes…”
“If I had been the planner, I would have eliminated the contestants unconditionally as soon as I killed another contestant from the beginning. Whether it was intentional, inadvertently intentional, or negligent, the moment someone took someone’s life, I wouldn’t have considered conditions or reasons.”
“…”
“In addition, it seems strict when it comes to adultery, but it’s sloppy. Why? Only the genitals of the opposite sex are considered adultery. So, a deformed orgy community like ours can exist. But do you think we’re perverts? If you don’t do that, your mind will collapse because of an unknown error caused by the system that calculates the degree of affection!”
Monohorn screams.
The statue of the goddess sitting on his shoulder trembled.
It’s a pity and pity that he can’t bear it, and he weeps silently.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa…”
Monohorn let out a long sigh.
Madness fades.
Reason settles on his face again.
In an instant, he returns to his sage form.
“I’m sorry. I was a little excited because I was so frustrated.”
“… No, no… Thanks to your earnest appeal, I understood perfectly what you were trying to say.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Monohorn nodded.
Whoops, whoops.
Tup.
Swoop.
He rummages through his pockets and pulls out a pipe.
In order to smoke after a long time, I stuff it with sticks.
Kook, kook.
Chuck, chock.
Chiiyi profit.
Light a fire without a word
Whoops, whoops.
With the water beak in his mouth, he sucked in air with moderate force.
Gradually, fragrant smoke fills his lungs.
Woo woo woo woo.
Smoke mixed with sighs swirls around them.
“Brother.”
“I-I’m listening…”
“The foreseeable advantages of participating are this ability and limited immortality, which may become what it is.”
“Hmm…”
“Also, what you can definitely get at the same time as participating is a maximum of 198 enemies aiming for your brother’s life. As I said before, the benefits are small when the participants coexist, but the benefits you can expect from killing each other are far too great. .There is not even a penalty for it. Whether I’m waiting for participation or in the main game, as long as I don’t become a victim, it’s always better to kill someone.”
“Right…”
“And immortality is not immortality. As long as the fixation continues, we can live forever. But here with the sword,”
Cook.
Monohorn points a finger at his carotid artery.
“Even if we tear this place apart by one inch, you know that we can die in the moment of misfortune, right?”
“Yes…”
“So don’t ever think about getting involved in this nonsense game, curse the fact that you’ve been involved even a little bit, and live quietly, vowing never to think of it again. That’s best.”
“I understand what you mean… Okay. I will definitely listen to your advice.”
Food.
Monohorn loosens his expression.
Tuk-tuk.
Playfully punches him on the shoulder with her fist.
He continues to speak in a slightly brighter tone.
“If you escape from here soon, ask to be dropped off at a reasonably quiet place. I’m sure you haven’t already forgotten the survival skills you learned in the military, so I’m sure you won’t die of starvation no matter where you go to the barren countryside.”
“That’s true, but… Um…”
While listening to him, Fraffin feels something strange.
He secretly examines Monohorn’s eyes.
“What’s wrong? Did something get on my face?”
“No, no.”
But she couldn’t bear to ask him about the sense of incongruity she felt from him.
It must be because he was afraid that he would face the madness of the Monohorn again.
