Chapter 153 – Episode 153 – An Unknown Map Left by Someone Leading to the 99th Floor
* Episode 153 – An unknown map left by someone leading to the 99th floor
“Welcome to the 19th floor of Aeyok Jjimjilbang.”
“Is there only one person?”
Immediately after the transfer, I was standing at the entrance to the sauna, not in the middle of the snowy mountain.
Snow women with white skin and beautiful eyes wherever I looked greeted me in orange sauna clothes.
I thought about it back then, but it really didn’t suit me.
“Guest?”
“Are you not going to pay?”
“No. It’s not one person, it’s two people-“
I looked back.
Natalia… He must have transferred with me, so he was right behind me.
There was one, but it was caught by the snow woman and sat on her transport trolley.
“Eh… Master…?”
“It’s on the 36th floor, right?”
Let’s see if that could be a problem.
“This layer does not allow evil spirits from other layers to enter.”
“Furthermore, the restaurants on the 31st to 39th floors all handle products provided by the tower, so from our perspective, it is the same as stopping at another store and bringing in outside food.”
‘That’s why I asked if it was just one person.’
Feeling a bit sorry for Natalia, who was no longer treated as a human being, he stuck something on her forehead.
[Danger] [Fixed crystalline substance] [Strictly prohibited] [Beware of semen]
…
… Even dangerous goods handling.
“Do I have to do it like that?”
“Because many ordinary people also visit this level, we strictly control the use of foreign demons brought in.”
“If a demon from another class runs rampant here, a catastrophe will occur, so we hope that our guests will be tolerant and understanding.”
Sometimes, Jin-sang comes and sighs about the hardships.
I thought that snow women also had their own difficulties, so I decided to give up on washing up here.
“I came here to look for something I lost. Could you please check the lost item?”
It’s not exactly mine, but an acquaintance asked me to find it, so I explained to it that way.
“I see. Since it is not you, I ask for your understanding in advance that in some cases, I may not be able to return it.”
Then he kindly asked me what I had lost.
I calculated back the day I entered this class.
Then they clapped their hands as if they remembered that I had come to this level.
“Are you the customer I saw when this floor had just reopened? Work got so busy that day that I forgot about it for a moment.”
“As the customer said, we retrieved a map bag at that time. But the owner didn’t show up, and it was left unattended for too long, so I thought I was going to throw it away, but he came just in time.”
He said it was good that he didn’t throw it away, went into the room behind the counter and came back fumbling with something.
It is a much smaller bag than the one Suni uses. It’s even full of maps.
‘She lost something like this?’
I doubted it back then, but would the head of a guild whose main job was making maps do such a foolish thing?
Suspecting that there might be something, a snow woman gently pointed to the sofa.
“I think you have some work to do. You can sit over there and watch.”
“I’m not even a guest, is that okay?”
“Did we look like such a tight bunch?”
“I know it’s tight, but that’s true. We also live with flexibility.”
He was considerate of me and said I didn’t have to make a fuss at the entrance.
… Snow lady’s pussy is tight.
She sat on the sofa with a useless magazine in her head.
*
She was finally able to take a breath.
I looked at the map and called Seongyeon to say hello.
『Congratulations.』
『I never thought it would take less than four days to clear.』
『How was the climbing?』
『Did something happen?』
When asked how it was, I told about what I experienced in this class.
First, I did not hide the story about Natalia and Nayami on the 36th floor, the death of her parents, and the aftermath.
『…』
『He passed away.』
『First, I will send a condolence wreath in the name of our guild and with your name on it.』
“And… It may be too late, but we will try to negotiate with the government.』
『Now the inhibitor called Natalia is gone, right?』
『I know a lot of people in the Korean government, so I will talk to the Japanese government through them.』
I’m going to clear up the bounty on her head or the international terrorist misunderstanding.
Seongyeon is a great person who negotiated with North Korea and eliminated the military in our country, so something like this would not be a big deal.
If Natalia wasn’t there, this would have been solved so easily.
“I wish I had done something sooner.”
When I showed my regrets, Seongyeon told me not to.
『This episode is strange.』
『Prostitute, if you couldn’t open the hierarchy, you wouldn’t have even thought of fooling Natalia.』
『At least Nayami must have done something since she opened this level.』
『If you couldn’t break the 30th floor gate. I would have ended up fighting that crazy bitch.』
『Then you and I must have greatly regretted it?』
“Everyone is saying the same thing. Is Natalia that strong?”
I wasn’t scared because I had only seen ugly things.
Nevertheless, Seongyeon spoke in broad daylight as if she was having a nightmare.
『Strong.』
『Depending on the episode, I, Ian, Ceres, and even you and Nayami will die.』
“…2nd place takes 1st place?”
『I know because you told me what kind of obscene behavior Natalia behaved in front of you.』
『Still, it would be better not to ignore it too much.』
『He has a lot of skills that haven’t been revealed to the public.』
『Passive skill for hunting allies that ignores all skills below Class A.』
『Beast drawing is as cute as it looks, but it is an all-purpose skill that allows you to move even if you are mortally wounded and strengthens your entire body.』
『Not to mention the main skill Heaven and Earth Sword, and there is even a hidden special move.』
“Really… It’s so strong…』
『So I… Whore I still can’t believe what you did to Natalia…』
『That beast… I can’t believe I’m being treated like shit…』
If you just listen to the settings, it was strong.
Just listen to the settings.
Unlike Seongyeon, who remembers the nightmare from the previous episode, this story has nothing to do with me.
『… But I guess it’s not an incredible story either.』
『The 40th floor gimmick is really shit, but the two of you pulled it off.』
『And without Nayami’s help.』
『I was so surprised that I wondered if I was still dreaming?』
“Really, that gateway over there, how does an ordinary hunter break it?”
『I heard the constellation told me?』
『You either need to be a master enough to fight with those limitations, or you just need to use strong skills to finish it off in one hit』
『Still, it is certain that you will lose your dignity due to receiving feedback.』
“Is there anyone in our tower with that much firepower?”
『No. 1 ranking, you stand proudly.』
『A walking human bomber.』
『You are the only person who can break through the gateway if you just close your eyes once.』
『But he also said he left it to you and Nayami, right?』
“He showed his displeasure clearly because he didn’t want to lose his dignity.”
Then, the people I introduced were Natalia and Nayami.
Now that I think about it, he was also quite desperate.
The moment he used his skills wildly within the gate, he must have been cleared and showed a disgraceful behavior, so he must have been the one to see me first.
『I heard you received the children’s memories as compensation?』
『I was surprised by this too. You are really giving it back.』
“They said this gate was tough, and it was narrowly OK.”
『In addition to Nayami’s memories…』
『…』
『It’s definitely something to be happy about…』
『Returning memories to three people… Maybe it’s dangerous…』
“What else? What’s so dangerous about giving back your memories?”
『You’re worried for no reason.』
『If the memories from the previous episode come back, everyone will know my secret.』
『I’m scared that if I tell you that, my head will explode.』
‘Oh, right.’
He was still misunderstanding.
….
… The reaction was interesting, so I decided to watch more and talk.
“Even if you don’t argue, it won’t happen.”
『Why?』
“They are self-conscious. They will be listening to the entire conversation right now in my pocket, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
While doing so, I swept the inside pocket of my coat.
Each pierce resonated with each other and trembled.
He is very kind and follows my instructions very well.
『Really?』
『That’s fortunate.』
『It’s soon the 50th floor… Maybe slowly…』
『I might be able to cure the curse by talking to the tower owner…』
As I said, let’s start negotiations at this point.
In the first place, we bypassed the 50th floor, and that wasn’t Seongyeon’s fault in this episode.
This time, we succeeded in re-entering using a relatively normal method, so it is worth talking about.
“For that, you have to prove that you didn’t do it this time.”
I fluttered the map.
Since I was out of luck in this direction, I made a video call instead.
“I’m going to show you the map recovered from the 19th floor. Would you like to take a look at it, at least briefly?”
『I don’t know if it’s okay because it’s behind the screen…』
『I’ll take a look first.』
『Hold your cell phone up and hand it over one by one when I give you the signal.』
I went back to the guild and showed it to them when I called to say hello to what I could show them.
I handed over the first map calmly, saying, ‘Our guild also has it.’
Since the tower has only been opened up to the 50th floor once, it probably has that many maps.
『I don’t think there’s anything strange up to this point.』
『Next.』
『Next.』
『Next.』
『Next-』
Flapping, fluttering.
As I passed the signal, at some point I started to tilt my head.
Today, a map I didn’t know appeared that reached the 40th floor.
Unlike me, Seongyeon seems to know what kind of map this is.
‘Considering the number of maps I’ve passed so far, I think it’s from the 41st to 50th floors…’
I calmly flipped through the map, thinking it must have been prepared in advance when the tower was opened.
『… Huh?』
It was then.
When I tried to turn another page of the map, there was a thud on the other side of the phone! I heard something crashing.
『Wait a minute, prostitute.』
『Don’t pass this up.』
The flow was interrupted.
“Why?”
『This is my first time seeing a map.』
『Same goes for the map in the back.』
『I passed the 48th, 49th, and 50th floors, why are there more?』
“Maybe it’s another tower map. The drafters’ guild wander around a lot of places other than our tower.”
『Probably not that.』
『I knew all the maps you showed me just now.』
『They were laid out in order, so there’s no way a different map would suddenly appear.』
“Then this is all a map of the inside of the Tower of Lust?”
『Maybe so.』
『Well, there’s a number written on the right end of the map.』
『How many times is it written there?』
As Seongyeon said, there is a small number at the right end of the map.
I narrowed my eyes and checked the blurred numbers, as if someone had erased them on purpose.
I’m not sure, but…
“… Probably number 51?”
『What is the map behind?』
I checked again.
The same goes for the map on the back.
“… Number 52.”
『After that?』
-No. 53.
-No. 54.
-No. 55.
…
… What is it?
Why is it really connected?
『The map you looked at before I told you to stop was the 50th floor map.』
『Originally, it should have ended there.』
『But why is the map of the 51st floor here?』
『We attacked up to the 50th floor, and the tower owner blocked us there, right?』
I know too.
So I checked again.
56, 57, 58, 59…
The hair on my head stood up as I looked at the map that continued.
‘Fuck. It’s real. There are almost 100, right?’
Here is an unknown map that our hunters were unable to conquer.
Something that should never have happened calmly without even knowing why.
