Chapter 238 – Episode 238 – The Reunion of the Knight of Pure Love and the Returner

* Episode 238 – The reunion of the Knight of Pure Love and the Returner

The white knights stood around silently, and Seongyeon and I sat together comfortably.

I had to go after hearing this bombshell that was thrown out before departure.

“Lord Song Seong-yeon must have noticed. This body is not the constellation that was supposed to be in the Tower of Lust.”

On the contrary, the knight of pure love sat far away from us.

It wasn’t too far, but it was a location where you could feel the distance subtly.

With that personality, is there a reason to sit so far away?

“It’s your constellation. Why shouldn’t you be here?”

“This body is a dispatched employee from the White Silver Tower. This is why Lord Seongyeon has never seen me and my colleagues even though he has visited the Tower of Lust repeatedly.”

“… What?”

“… Huh!!”

They start talking about the episode and their secrets.

We both asked with our eyes if it was okay to give a spoiler like this, but Sunae’s attitude was light.

“Secret? Don’t tell me. You don’t know how badly I wanted to say this. Just as I wanted to confess to my comrade, my body was extremely frustrated.”

I sat down and laughed out loud.

His red eyes were bent like a bow, and he looked happier than ever.

I was aware that the constellation knew my secret and Seongyeon and pushed me, but it felt special to open up the situation so openly.

“What is the reason you were only dispatched for this episode? How did you happen to meet us?”

“What do you think makes this episode different from other episodes?”

I looked at Seongyeon.

The person responsible for the regression would know this better than me.

“Are you talking about the incident where the rankers were trapped in the tower?”

“That’s right, that’s right. It’s all because of the work behind the scenes of the current tower owner, Lord Jihyeon. Didn’t she bypass and clear her tower and put all the sins on Lord Seongyeon?”

“Yes, I did. That’s why I was so observant.”

“Accordingly, Aphrodite felt the need to have a constellation at each gateway, so she called us and stationed us. She also had the Black Knights as her limbs, but they were very unfaithful. On the other hand, we, who were Freya’s limbs, were so sincere. I asked to borrow it as a chance.”

Shrug your shoulders.

They explained the reason why they came here, saying, ‘It was right after the White Silver Tower was captured, so there was nothing to do.’

“I see. That’s why this episode was so special…”

Unlike me, who couldn’t feel the weight of the story, Seongyeon had an open expression, as if all her curiosity had been answered.

The strange events that occurred during her return led her to this point.

And, the beginning of the miracle was when this constellation gave me help.

“The Silver Tower is the tower where Seongyeon and I first died. Seongyeon returned there. Could it be that she has been watching over us ever since?”

“Well… I don’t remember when, but I’ve been watching her since she became a Constellation, so I’ve been watching her for quite a long time.”

His tail feathers are shaking.

It fluttered like a dog’s tail, unable to hide its emotions.

The words [Since it became a constellation] Were very meaningful.

“Even though it looks like this, this body is very close to Freya. Although I am not allowed to touch the archive, I am in a position where I can receive various conveniences, so I was able to watch over you every time Lord Seongyeon returned.”

“Ugh, I had no idea. My main hunting ground is here, but even though I was quite active in the Silver Tower, I didn’t have any information about that… To be honest, I didn’t even try to find out about the constellation…”

I kept thinking that if I had known, I could have reached this route sooner.

“In the first place, our tower didn’t open the safety layer like this one, right? It’s normal that we can’t meet unless something goes wrong.”

That’s why Sunae comforted him by waving her hand.

Thanks to his explanation, the story became easier.

“So you’ve been watching Seong-yeon’s actions until now, and then took this opportunity to intervene in earnest?”

“That’s right. Normally, you would be tied to the tower and unable to move, but this episode was different from usual. I had a chance to meet a comrade and share my strength, and I was able to lead you to the 50th floor.”

“You mean the soul of the prostitute who died in each episode?”

“Hmm. The souls of comrades come together and lend strength to current comrades… Isn’t it a very wonderful thing?”

Following those words, the remaining pierced earrings in my arms vibrated.

My soul is resonating.

Aside from the jokes, Soon-ae’s knight was like a benefactor to me and Seong-yeon.

“Would it be a bit embarrassing if I said thank you for helping me now?”

“Hehe. That’s the way to say things without saying anything. Aren’t we men?”

A friend who insists on romance in a strange place.

He could have come a little closer, but he was still far away and lowered his head.

“And… It’s still too early to say thank you. Giving strength to my comrades was both a great luck for me and a mistake at the same time.”

The chin of the helmet was scratched.

It was a shy attitude no matter who saw it.

“What kind of mistake did you make after doing so well?”

“No. It’s not a good thing. It’s mostly this body’s fault that Lord Jihyun got on stage.”

Absolutely.

Sunae shook her head, and we listened to what mistake she made.

“In this episode, you took my strength and attacked the tower. You broke the curse and showed signs of connecting with Lord Seongyeon.”

-I answered yes.

“Also, we obtained evidence to put pressure on whether Lord Sun-yi was the culprit. We also gained a few allies. We also suppressed ‘Natalia’, the tool to assassinate Lord Seong-yeon.”

-That is also correct.

“That’s the problem. If I had taken my time a little more carefully, it wouldn’t have happened so suddenly and so suddenly.”

The bright eyes that had been bright just a moment ago drooped like strings.

I am sadly looking at this incident with slit eyes.

“This body was tied to the tower according to the contract, so I had no choice but to watch. If I had been freer, I could have done more. In the end, this is what it is.”

In addition to his tone, he was sincerer than me, who was directly involved in this incident.

So I have no choice but to ask.

“Didn’t you know about Jihyun’s job?”

“What do you mean?”

“Did he not know that Seongyeon would follow him back?”

“… Huh?”

“…”

Sunae’s knight covered her mouth and Seongyeon looked surprised.

“If Seongyeon had been watching you all this time, there’s no way she wouldn’t have known. Just now, she was saying, ‘It would have been better if I did it this way,’ and regretted it. Talking about Natalia, she knew from the beginning how she was taking care of our cows.”

If you didn’t know, most of his stories would be lies.

“Is that so… Really? Why didn’t you tell me that? If you had told your boss, the tower owner named Freya, wouldn’t the tower owner have done something?”

Seongyeon asked again.

“That’s…”

Sunae’s knight raised her head to speak, but she lowered it again.

“… I can’t tell you that easily.”

As she tried to relieve herself, her jaw became blocked again.

“What else can’t you say in this situation? Your boss doesn’t even know what’s going on with Jihyun in his hands… You can’t say he neglected it on purpose, right?”

“Stop interpreting it too much. Anyone who hears it will misunderstand.”

“What about the misunderstanding? Then, did you tell us why Seongyeon was watching you all this time?”

“That’s simple. Isn’t it because I’m a knight of pure love?”

He seems like a funny bastard.

Because people laugh off their words and actions, they think people are idiots.

“I know that wall, I know it well~! Not only have you been watching Seongyeon’s return all this time, but you’ve even directly intervened. It’s not just a wall alone, right? If you’re going to invest that much time and execute it, there has to be a compelling reason other than the wall. Aren’t you going to do it?”

“…”

“Did you even know that Suni would die?”

“…”

I asked repeated questions, but didn’t say anything.

This bastard… You’ve been talking about it for a while now, but… !

“Why can’t you speak?”

“It’s a personal matter.”

Personal history?

Now, Nana Seongyeon’s life has been repeated dozens of times. Why is she doing this to herself?

“Just because of that, you want me to believe you when I tell you that she helped us?”

“It’s not that I have any particularly bad feelings. At least this body will help my comrades to the end that I can, and this feeling has not changed even now.”

Are you serious?

I don’t know why I’m describing this as a personal matter, but in the end, if you’re on our side, I have a favor to ask.

“I know an easy way to handle this. Would you like to try it?”

“Huh? What do you mean? Is there an easy way to deal with this!?”

It was Sunae’s article who gave the authority, but it was Seongyeon who responded.

Of course you’d be surprised that things were so messed up and could be handled so easily.

But it’s not that difficult to make a fuss about.

“It’s possible. All you have to do is send this guy outside right away, contact the owner of another tower, and ask him to help you. Then, Jihyun will be dragged away, the owner of the imprisoned tower will be rescued, and this matter will be completely resolved. Am I wrong?”

“Do you think this body, which she did not report to Freyja even though she knew of her existence, would do such a thing?”

As expected, it was left on purpose.

I stood up with the intention of grabbing him by the collar, but Seongyeon stopped him.

“Wait a minute! You prostitute! This driver has been helping us all this time! Let’s hear why!”

“Even if you ask, they’ll say it’s a personal matter, so what’s the reason?”

“Keueuhn…”

As I glared, Sunae’s knight scratched the back of her head.

I’m thinking deeply and even groaning.

Then she let out a sigh and then raised her hands in an attitude of giving up.

“I understand. If it’s you and not anyone else, there’s no need to hide it till the end…”

Suddenly, she put her hand on her own helmet.

“… First, let me reveal the identity of this body. I believe you will be able to understand once you look inside.”

“You don’t report anything to Freyja until four months later, so you’ll understand when you see her face?”

“You will understand. I know my comrades well. Furthermore, I am sure you will understand why I made Freyja like that.”

Click.

Her helmet was half off.

An appearance that seemed to have been seen somewhere was briefly revealed.

Unlike other knights, he clearly had a physical body, perhaps a special constellation.

“Ugh!? Eh? Eh…?”

“Why?”

Seongyeon was embarrassed.

I haven’t realized my identity yet.

Let’s narrow our eyes to see if it’s someone we can recognize if we look at their face.

‘Fuck.’

The gaze I felt from before has suddenly become closer.

『Dededen-!!』

『That’s it!!!』

『A conspiracy in someone else’s tower!?』

『You have good guts, you bastards~~!!』

“Pfft!”

“Oh really! It was an important time!”

“Tch. It was an important opportunity to connect with my comrades…”

I looked up at the sky ‘as if I was holding a half-raised helmet.’

Menhera’s face appeared beyond the transparent display.

As expected, the owner of the presence felt earlier was her.
