Chapter 239 – Episode 239 – The Farewell of the Knight of Pure Love and the Returner

* Episode 239 – The Knight of Pure Love and the Returner’s Farewell

Ji-hyeon showed up with perfect blocking during a good time.

It was not only me who lamented this, but also Seongyeon.

“… You’re so clueless! Just show up 10 seconds later!”

Jihyun shouted back in a tone that sounded even more regretful than I did.

『That’s what I should do!』

『I tried to lend Dal~ling and even forgive him!』

『I never thought they would break the truce and crawl into the tower! What on earth are you planning~!?』

“You’re lying to me with an ulterior motive! It’s obvious that you’re plotting something when you hate me so much and allow me to hang out with a prostitute for half a year, you stupid bitch!!!”

『Bugh~!?』

Jihyun’s face distorts at the rapid-fire accusation.

Seongyeon was sloppy last time, but now she’s different.

He must have been so energized that I did something to him once that he immediately stopped.

… That’s correct.

There is no reason for Seongyeon to be discouraged.

Even though she committed a mistake, Ji-hyeon’s crime was more than that when she killed me and ruined the people around her.

『Well, it was too obvious!』

『Even so, isn’t it too rude to attack without knowing what to do!?』

『You can go a little further and then come back!!』

“Do you not know that we are trying to take advantage of our foolish actions to take over the tower and steal the prostitute!?”

-Fuck you.

As I coolly cursed, Jihyun’s face was crushed like a lemon meme on the other side of the screen.

Seong-yeon, who was normally supposed to be crawling, came out with such force that her annoyance rose to the top of her head.

『-Kuhm! I heard the story.』

『Knight of Pure Love!』

『I thought you were suspicious, but you still had a secret!?』

Nevertheless, I cleared my throat once and regained my pace.

I changed my tone and glared at Sunae’s knight, but this is also my own pace.

“It’s not even a secret. Even the black people who follow that body know that this body is an outsider.”

『Really~?』

『That’s strange~?』

『I’ve never heard such a story from my subordinates~!?』

“It’s not something to hide, but I haven’t heard about it. It seems like you’re quite unpopular. Who would believe you when you go around doing things like that?”

『Huh~? Can I say something like that?』

『You know I’m holding on to your boss’s life, right?』

『Depending on my mood, I might turn your boss into a slut who sells her body somewhere.』

『If you don’t want to see something like that, get away from there right now. Please close the door.』

“Doing your best is not something that should come out of the mouth of a woman who is a slut or anything. If you think this body will be shaken by something like Freya, you are greatly mistaken.”

『… Weren’t you here to rescue Freya?』

『You said that just now.』

“You appeared just as I was about to tell you the details, so what would you know? This body has decided to support them. No matter what you say, this resolve will not change.”

『…』

Jihyun thought for a moment and then sent the display in my direction.

The screen, which had been divided into several parts, was brought together and coaxed with friendly words.

“Darling. Are you really not going to give up on him?』

『I told you this last time.』

『I lost my darling because of him. I just want to take control of the tower and give you back your memories.』

“And… I will give you everything and make you happy.』

『What reason is there to confront me like that?』

“You told me the other day. The person I am now is not the darling you know. Don’t you think I know that instead of giving back all my memories, they will only overturn the memories of when I was your boyfriend?”

『… Wow!?』

Ji-hyeon’s expression was greatly distorted when she was stabbed in the stomach with a story she couldn’t tell last time.

I thought he was having a lot of fun with his face today, so I cajoled him again while he was taking some time.

『I won’t treat you badly!』

『I told you that too!』

『I’ll bring back all the women Darling has ever had a relationship with!』

『Create your own harem!』

“Don’t make meaningless promises. Everyone here knows what a thorough and conniving lover you are.”

She stopped talking and approached the gate.

Now that Jihyun appears, I have no intention of talking calmly.

On that day, Seongyeon followed, followed by Ceres and Soonae’s knight, who had been silently in the corner.

“Wait for a sec! Then, I also want to ask you something, darling!』

“Darling. Why did you only see Olivia’s memories and not mine?』

『Why do you say I feel so unfair!?』

『You can at least sympathize with my memories!!』

“What sympathy?”

『I want you to see and feel how unfairly I lost my darling!』

『Song Seong-yeon, I feel the reason why I am taking revenge on that slut! Empathize with me!』

『Darling is kind! She’s the kind of person who can listen to requests like this!』

『Why do you bother to ignore it!?』

“You told me about your situation the last time we met.”

For some reason, Seongyeon returned and Jihyeon’s transfer skill activated at the same time, and I lost myself.

With that, Ji-hyeon’s hardships began.

Following Seong-yeon’s return, she transfers herself and travels around the world, hoping to get [Hong Chang-gi, Yoo Ji-hyeon’s boyfriend] Back.

This is not the who is aiming for a harem like now, but [The back when I only had eyes for Yoo Ji-hyun].

It’s a pitiful situation.

How sad it is to lose someone you love.

However, apart from that, I cannot forgive the fact that I went around bursting my head.

Not at all.

Not at all.

“He said he was in a bad mood, that he wanted to tease Seongyeon, and denied it in each episode that I was not his boyfriend. Did you really think I would forgive you for killing me so many times just to kill you?”

『Where is that?』

『Olivia openly sympathized!!』

『Why am I the only one being labeled as a bad bitch!?』

『He also followed me and made the women around Darling into sows!!!』

“You were the one who brought Madame in the first place. The story will end once she reconciles with Bridget. The story is different from the beginning with you, you crazy bitch.”

With those last words, Jihyun stopped as she tried to reach her gate to shake him off.

Suddenly, just like Jihyun, I also had a question.

“That’s right. Since you showed up after such a long time, let me ask you. Why didn’t you take out my memories?”

『What do you mean?』

『Darling’s memories!?』

“I know you haven’t taken control of the entire system here, but you have taken control to the point where you can extract other people’s memories and use them as a teaching assistant. But why haven’t you found ‘my memories from when I was dating you’ yet?”

If that had been there, it would have been much easier to get me back.

Rather than giving away your memories like this as a fierce, just return my memories and that’s it.

『…』

『… No.』

So, I waited for her answer and Jihyun responded in a depressed tone.

“Nothing? What do you mean there’s nothing?”

『Darling, the only memory of dating me is missing in the tower!』

『No matter where I look in the log, I can’t find any terminals related to Darling!!』

『When I first revealed my identity, I wanted to give it all back!』

『The reason I couldn’t do that was because ‘Darling’s memories were not stored in the Tower of Lust’!』

Is that why you couldn’t return anything when you met at the skyscraper and revealed the inside story?

This is the first thing you should have done if you had taken control of the tower, but that was the reason it was blocked until now.

『But I am convinced by this story!!』

『Information on darlings that should be in the Tower of Lust!』

『The criminal who took all the memories and soul stored in Hong Chang-gi’s folder!』

『You!?』

『Extraordinary constellation! A knight of pure love!』

Our eyes turned to the knight of pure love.

The white helmet rattled.

The man’s lips were torn as the entire mouth, which would normally not be visible at all, was revealed.

“Is it even worth reasoning like that? I have never hidden or silenced the fact that I shared my soul and memories with my comrades.”

As he stretched out his hands in front of his armor, light shimmered across his palms.

『A, that!』

『No way!?』

“Are you looking for this?”

Several white, round spheres glowed and then merged into one, forming a huge light.

The transparent display containing Jihyun’s face was excessively distorted.

『It was you, after all!!!』

『Give it back quickly!!』

『That is not something that others can play with!!』

『Give it all! Quickly!』

“Huh, really. You’re such a funny woman. Why am I giving this to you? If I give it back, I’m sure I’ll destroy everything except this memory.”

Then, he took out her soul and put it back into his chest.

Even though it is my soul, I am absorbing it without any thought.

“She says she tolerates his harem, but in reality, she is a wicked woman who doesn’t care about other people’s memories. She says she feels sorry for herself, but no matter how big of a mistake Song Seong-yeon made, would she be as big as you?”

『Kieuuu~!?』

『You and darling! You both just wait there!』

『I’ll go down right now and retrieve everything and return Darling’s memories!』

『Then that’s the end!』

『You don’t have to fight like this anymore!』

“The road is open. Since I have also taken control of the gateway and accessed the archive, there is no reason for me to fall prey to your tricks.”

Clap clap clap.

The knights who had been waiting in silence lined up and put their swords on the floor.

The light flickers once again.

It was the same action as when the Knight of Pure Love took over the gate, but the surroundings remained the same.

But somehow, I can’t express it exactly, but the atmosphere has changed.

The unpleasant gaze disappeared, the air became clearer, and I could breathe much better.

『No!?』

『W-what is it? Class transition is not possible!』

『Why!?』

『What did you do!!』

Jihyun was embarrassed.

Just like the other side, I didn’t understand, so I looked at Sunae again.

“We temporarily took over her authority so that she could no longer control her tower. To put it simply, she is a [White hack] For the tower.”

“If something like this was possible, you were still trapped?”

“This action is possible because the place we are in is a gateway. Each gateway is connected to the archive. If it weren’t for this, we wouldn’t have been able to stop it.”

He smiled and rubbed his chin as if he was enjoying this situation.

“With this, she won’t be able to move from that spot for a while. I’ll stop her from changing the gimmick or content of her tower, so my comrades can look at the ‘map’ and attack the tower with peace of mind.”

“You want me to attack you. You say you have to save Freya too?”

“I can’t even move my body in this state… I can’t help it.”

I gestured towards the gate.

It meant to go quickly.

My colleagues and I naturally walked towards the gateway.

If you take a step forward, you will reach the 61st floor.

『Wait, wait!!』

“Darling! Stop! Stop there!』

『The 61st floor gimmick is no joke!?』

『Don’t worry, let’s solve it here with the ‘story’ that Darling likes so much!』

“Huh!? How is it! Good suggestion!?』

“With those words, you are trying to waste time and drag all the gatekeepers stationed upstairs to capture us.”

『That’s not it!』

『I just need to get Darling’s soul back!』

『A, so! Please!』

“Don’t go! Don’t come up! Don’t scold me!!!』

Jihyun screamed, but Sunae still smiled at her own pace.

“Leave this to me. Anyway, the ones above are similar to Dalgi. Defeat them individually to restore our relationship and see the end of this episode.”

“We helped you like this, but you couldn’t even explain the situation. Are you telling us to leave someone like that here and go on our own?”

“It’s okay. If there’s a chance, I’ll send someone who can help, so don’t worry about this and enjoy yourself. Anyway, I’m not a comrade’s enemy. The exception is a gimmick… But I believe a comrade will do something about that.”

Then he said, ‘Don’t hesitate.’

At his request, I crossed the gate first.

“Sister. Let’s go too.”

“Yeah, yeah!”

Seongyeon and Ceres followed me and entered beyond the gate.

The 61st floor was a vast jungle just as seen from inside the gateway.

“A noble knight!”

Before leaving, I looked at the gateway again.

The only road connecting the 60th and 61st floors is slowly closing.

“That’s right. The reason I helped you… “Don’t bother asking later.”

Beyond the slowly closing door, the voice of the knight of pure love was heard.

Wow haha.

With a happy laugh, the helmet he was wearing was taken off.

“It’s not a big enough reason to be so worried.”

The image of Sunae was stuck in my mind.

I smiled with my eyes getting tired.

It was a face that I could never recognize, not just anyone else.

“Why do I need a reason to help myself?”

“Isn’t that so? “My comrade.”

[Hong Chang-gi], Who had a clean face without a single burn, waved his hand at us.

The door closed after that scene.

As if what we saw was a hallucination.

In just a moment, an unforgettable face disappeared.
