Chapter 135 – Chapter 134 – Erotic Dungeon (9)

Another doppelganger was born from the corpse of the doppelganger who imitated me.

The figure wriggling out of pink slime was a beautiful man with gray hair.

“Ah…”

The doppelganger, dressed in rags and holding a knife with a missing blade, muttered blankly.

As if confirming who he was, the guy closed his eyes and lifted his head.

‘Should I kill him?’

I grabbed Levatein from that doppelganger that suddenly appeared.

Something unexpected happened.

It’s like the already dead doppelganger imitating someone again.

It is also strange that the person imitated by the doppelganger looks unusual.

Gray hair that was full of color and eyes wet with melancholy.

Looking at that man holding a worn-out sword with dried blood and seemingly absorbing all presence around him, I was certain of one thing.

That the person the doppelganger copied was definitely an unusual person.

“Ah…”

As if the doppelganger realized something, muttered and opened his eyes.

Looking at those melancholy eyes, I made up my mind.

After all, that guy is just a doppelganger.

A devil who is intoxicated with himself and wants to intervene in human life.

The answer came out.

It should be cut now.

I took a step forward and drew a levatein at him.

Shhhhh.

Drawing a red trail in the air, Levatein dug into the doppelganger’s flesh.

Judging by the feeling it had on his fingertips, he would surely die if he continued like this.

But why?

At that moment, something in my head screamed loudly, “Stop it.”

It’s just a simple intuition without reason or logic, but I forcibly pulled my muscles and stopped the sword.

Tuuk.

When I abruptly stopped the motion, the pain ran through my body and at the same time the man I cut the man’s arm fell to the floor.

“…”

The man stares blankly at me.

I forcibly stopped the sword, and despite the fact that I was defenseless, the man did me no harm.

Seeing that fact, I realized that the intuition I had just felt was correct.

That man is ‘something important that must not die.’

“You…”

Even though his left arm was cut off and dripping with blood, the man said nothing to me.

“Oh, I see.”

On the way, the man who was about to ask me cut off his words as if he had realized something on his own.

“Who are you.”

So I asked the man.

Who are you?

At my question, the gray man laughed forlornly.

“A specter now forgotten. A man bound by a promise and unable to escape.”

“…?”

As I was tilting my head at the enigmatic words, an angel suddenly appeared beside me.

“Mi… Crazy?! This… This…?!”

The angel appeared struggling in the air and approached the man in front of him.

“This… Does this make sense?! How… How… Siegfried-sama…?”

“What?”

From those words the angel said, I realized that the man’s name was Siegfried.

“Long time no see, 14.”

As if knowing the angel in front of him, Siegfried casually raised his severed left arm and greeted him.

On the way, I realized that his arm was missing, and I was embarrassed.

“This… Does this make sense?! Player… Does this make sense..?!”

An angel clings to my head and shakes it wildly.

Judging by the fact that he was pouring questions at me, who had no idea what was going on, even the angel seemed quite perplexed.

“14, there’s no need to panic. I’m just a clone of my doppelganger.”

“That… I mean, why is Siegfried-sama coming out of here all of a sudden?! Where is there something to duplicate?!”

At the angel’s words, Siegfried pointed at me with his severed left arm.

Drip.

Blood flowed from the cut edges.

“Ah.”

Judging from Siegfried’s words that he finally realized, it seemed that Siegfried wanted to point at me.

I felt sorry for Siegfried for some reason.

Siegfried lowered his left hand with an embarrassed expression, and he said to us.

“That friend, I guess I was born thanks to that friend.”

“Me?”

“Yes, you.”

Siegfried stared at me.

“I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or fate, but the part of me that flowed into your body has a very high assimilation rate. So I was born from your dead doppelganger… That’s what it sounds like.”

“Huh… Heh uh uh?! How could this happen…!”

The angel is shocked at Siegfried’s words.

Part of Siegfried is in my body.

The conversation was beyond my understanding, so I asked Siegfried a question.

“Some, what do you mean?”

In response to my question, Siegfried shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know.

“Blood. Some of my blood was mixed in your body?”

“Uh…?”

Hearing the word ‘blood’ brought countless memories to my mind.

A memory of going to the beach during summer vacation and getting some blood from an angel, a consumable item.

When I drank the blood, I became a little more handsome and heard the voice of a bird.

And the explanation that it was expressed thanks to the blood written on the newly created ‘characteristic’ ability.

All of this had to do with Siegfried’s blood.

“That… A drop of blood that only partially restored… Was assimilated enough to create a doppelganger like this?”

The angel muttered in disbelief.

Siegfried looked at the angel and said.

“I told you, the assimilation rate is too high. That friend must be saying that the point of contact with me is that much.”

Siegfried swung the sword in his right hand as if it were a habit.

Oddly enough, the posture was the same as my usual habit.

“Ah, it seems that time is running out now. Unfortunately… The time for my doppelganger to capture me is not that long.”

Siegfried looked at me with a lonely expression.

“Hey, buddy.”

I looked at him trying to say something.

His lonely eyes and tired-looking face naturally gave weight to his words.

“My characteristic is ‘origin’.”

“Origin…?”

“Yes, the origin.”

Siegfried quietly raised the sword in his right hand.

The handle of the sword was faded, and there was something like a stone stuck in the center.

“Someday… Someday you might be able to use it too, so remember it.”

Leaving only those words behind, Siegfried thrust his sword into his own throat at once.

Pooh-!

“J.. Siegfried-sama..! Now.. Wait a minute..!”

The angel flew toward the collapsing Siegfried, but Siegfried had already turned into pink slime.

“Huh… What the fuck… What the hell is this…”

In front of me in a panic, an item box appeared as proof that the dungeon had been cleared.

The women who were quietly listening to our conversation behind me had confused expressions on their faces.

* *

Thanks to a doppelganger that suddenly appeared and imitated Siegfried, I explained various things to the female crew while sweating in the car.

In fact, there is an invisible helper next to me, and it seems that I have a connection with that man thanks to the item the helper gave me…

As far as I know, I spoke to the female crew.

The female staff had a somewhat uneasy look on their faces, but they soon agreed.

In the first place, they believed that I was someone who had saved this world once, so the level of invisible helpers was something they could understand.

After hearing my explanation, Violet sighed.

“It’s good… I’ve been really worried about you talking to yourself all this time.”

“…”

I sincerely regret not telling them about angels until now.

As we talked, the car had already arrived in front of our house.

The women’s crew told me that they had something to say to each other, so I had to go in first.

Seeing the vice president smiling at me with a meaningful smile before the car door closed, somehow I felt that my sex life would change a lot sooner or later.

“Angel… Who the hell is that…?”

Returning home, I hurriedly called the angel and asked him about the man from before, Siegfried.

Pop!

An angel appeared out of thin air with a familiar sound effect, and answered with huge amber eyes.

“Ph… Player…! Seriously, Player is a legend!”

The angel seemed excited, flapping his wings and continuing.

“To completely make that blood, which is only a fragment, into yours…!”

“So, who is it?”

When I asked the angel who praised me for being great at my question once again, the angel finally calmed down his excitement.

“Ah, so… That’s… If I had to explain it…”

The angel grunted, gathering his thoughts, and stammered out his words.

“So… You know TRP, right?”

“Of course he knows.”

“So, Siegfried-sama is a little stronger than T.R.P.! No, a little more.. Strong? You’re such a person. If T.R.P-sama hears about this, he’ll probably get angry…”

“What?”

Is there someone stronger than that nobleman who splits space with a sword?

I was horrified.

“He used to be… But now… He’s nowhere to be found.”

“Is he… Dead? Who is he?”

When I carefully asked the angel, the angel shook his head.

“No, you’re trapped in a promise. A promise that will never end.”

“…”

Angel made a sad face.

“I don’t think I can explain what the promise is… Yet, yet. It’s a story that you can bring out only when you grow a little more.”

“Yeah, if you are, that’s what it would be.”

I put my hand on the grieving angel’s blond hair and stroked it.

The angel accepted my hand, swallowed his sorrow, and smiled broadly.

“No matter what… Since Player-sama digested Siegfried-sama’s blood well, it means that something great happened!”

“Yes, this is all thanks to you who gave that blood.”

I took a macaron out of the drawer and threw it to the angel.

“Player is the best!”

The angel happily tore open the plastic wrap and chewed on the macaron.

Looking at the happy angel’s face again, I smiled.

After all, angels are the cutest when they are smiling.
