277 – Crossing (2)
Ceylon then smiled brightly and innocently.
But that smile seemed somehow dangerous, without any trace of its usual composure.
“For the sake of a fun and stimulating conversation between you and me, let’s assume something. “It is true that it was the assassin who committed the large-scale massacre, but in fact, the victims were also the assassins.”
“… To be honest, I have a strong feeling that it came out of nowhere.”
“Hey, don’t do that, just hang out for once.”
“First and foremost, Ceylon County. “No matter how much of a joke it may be, I wonder if calling the victims assassins would be considered a courtesy to the deceased.”
“Ho… Are you reacting to that part?”
“… Ceylon County. There is something strange about Ceylon County today. “What on earth do you want to say?”
“As I said. “This is just an assumption for a stimulating and interesting conversation.”
“… “
Drin’s expression became serious as he sensed an unusual current of air.
“Try it. “I won’t stop you this time.”
“Here, there is an assassin. Hoo. But surprisingly, he does not belong to Harashin. Strictly speaking, he can be said to be the opposite of Hara Shin. He is hostile to Harashin. For the greater good, he aims to eradicate the assassins of Hara Shin.”
“… So, that assassin is the culprit of this massacre. Is this it? “The victims were Harasin’s assassins, so they were killed by the good assassin?”
“That’s right!
“… “
Drin’s expression turned cold.
It was not the illusion that those who did not know much about her were misled by her impression.
“Ceylon County. Let me take this opportunity to make it clear. Assassin. They are vile and terrible beings. I swear by my chivalry. No matter what lame excuses they come up with, they won’t be able to justify their own existence. I think you know that too. Because that’s common sense. In that sense, Ceylon County. I feel great disappointment in you. Using the deceased’s death as a joke. “They even called the deceased an assassin and made him the butt of a joke.”
“… Hey~… What should I say? You are truly resolute… ?”
According to Drin’s common sense, it was the moment for Ceylon to retreat.
But he did not back down and responded with a stern expression.
The gentle atmosphere that existed between the two disappeared without a trace.
“Of course we have no choice but to be firm. “Isn’t Ceylon so careless?”
“The amount given. The amount given. Let’s not be serious. Just an assumption. It’s just a joke, isn’t it? And again. You don’t know, right? As I said. “Isn’t it really possible that they are assassins – that is, Harashin’s liaison?”
“… “
“Oh, and one more thing. At least one person in this world. “Wouldn’t there be at least one innocent and good assassin?”
“… “
“Ah, I know. Don’t know. To become an assassin, you must convert to Harashin, and to convert to Harashin, you must commit an unspeakably terrible act. But, there are exceptions, right? At least one. At least one! “Isn’t there an assassin in the world who can be accepted?”
Drin did not understand Ceylon’s actions.
However.
I knew at least this one thing.
This incident cannot be overlooked.
For his sake, we must use this opportunity to speak firmly and harshly.
“No. “No such thing exists.”
“… “
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“What if that’s me?”
“… Yes?”
Ceylon’s indignant eyes were completely opened.
The sharp eyes hidden inside were revealed.
That was the true face of Ceylon.
“The amount given. “If you were the assassin I was talking about just now, what would you do with the amount I gave you?”
“… “
As the situation progressed like this, instead of being embarrassed, Drin could actually feel calm.
“Nothing will change. I am not persuaded by assassins. “They will not be able to justify their existence no matter what they do.”
“… “
Nod.
Nod.
Ceylon looked as if the joints in her head were broken, and she tilted her head for a while, mulling over her words.
Within.
He finally returned to his usual self and smiled innocently.
“Hey~ I’m sorry. I guess I lost my mind for a moment. The best way to fix a terrible joke is to simply admit your mistake! Have you truly realized what happened this time? Ha ha ha.”
“… “
Ha.
It was only then that Drin let out a sighing laugh.
He was relieved to have returned to the Ceylon he knew.
“… “
But why?
This feeling of discomfort.
“Ah, the amount I gave you. For a moment, I remembered something urgent. I would like to excuse you at this point.
This sense of distance.
Drin felt as if Ceylon had moved away to a place she could not reach.
***
“… “
Ceylon separated from Drin and went under the shadow of a nearby building.
I leaned my back against the wall of the building and was lost in thought, recalling the conversation I had with Drin just moments ago.
“The amount given was… “
Ceylon clearly learned something from that conversation.
That Drin would never accept her true self.
That’s because he was the assassin she hated so much.
“Even with the attribute of being possessed? “Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
For a while, a self-deprecating, lonely laugh came out of Ceylon’s mouth.
That laughter continued to leak out without stopping.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
At some point, it deteriorated.
‘That’s stupid.’
Ceylon lifted his head and looked up at the sky.
It was like looking at the ceiling in a narrow building.
‘It’s just a game anyway.’
That was the opportunity.
From that point on, Ceylon’s actions became more bold.
It’s as if she doesn’t care if it’s discovered that she’s an assassin.
It seems like she doesn’t mind if her true identity is revealed.
He seems to not care if he fails to save the world.
Rather, it seems like he hopes for that.
***
It was inevitable.
Ceylon’s ugly identity as an assassin and warlock was eventually revealed.
It was a dramatically different situation from the situation faced by Ceylon on another world line.
An undeniable catastrophe.
All the relationships that formed the existing Ceylon collapsed.
Now Ceylon was neither an academy cadet nor a savior of the world.
He could not save the world or himself.
In such a situation, there was only one thing he pursued.
It’s them.
And above all, it was Ceylon himself who thought that all this started.
Another Ceylon commented on Ceylon’s actions, saying that he was like a player who chooses the wrong option to collect events in a game.
It was correct to some extent, but wrong to some extent.
Ceylon truly yearned for Drin and them.
With her sincerity, he hoped to establish a true relationship with them.
But I thought it couldn’t be done.
That too.
Because this world was a game.
Because I was a player and they were NPCs.
Above all.
Because he was someone they loathed.
Thus Ceylon thought.
‘Then… ‘
In the end, if you can’t form a true relationship with them,
Let’s pursue even a false relationship.
Even though he is an abomination to them.
Even if to me they are just NPCs in the game.
It would be better than not being able to reach them at all.
“The amount given. Do you know what? Actually, this world is just entertainment for me. “You are just one component of the entertainment.”
“What is that…?” “
“I think the time has come for me to tell you about the world I used to live in.”
Ceylon no longer had the confidence to approach these real people.
Therefore, she decided to treat them as thorough NPCs.
***
Drin thought.
Where did it go wrong?
Ceylon.
The time she spent with him brought the most colorful and vivid color to her life.
But when and where did it start to become stained and deteriorate into the terrible picture it is today?
Polite conversation.
When in that conversation you completely denied the existence of the assassin to Ceylon?
No.
No.
It is true that Ceylon became strange starting from that conversation.
But.
But-…
…
Actually, I don’t know.
Even though I thought and thought and thought, I could not figure out why Ceylon had turned into such a terrible monster.
Ah.
One.
There was only one part that left me guessing.
-The amount given. Do you know what? Actually, this world is just entertainment for me. You are just one component of the entertainment.
-What is that…
-I think it’s time to tell Miss Delin about the world I used to live in.
According to Ceylon.
It is said that this world he has lived in is nothing more than a virtual world called a ‘game’ from the perspective of other worlds.
And it is said that Ceylon is just an outsider who has been possessed by the game.
It is difficult.
I couldn’t understand at all what they were saying.
Nevertheless, I take one step at a time and reach my own conclusion.
The conclusion is-
‘I can’t forgive.’
They dismissed themselves and their world as a type of trivial entertainment called a ‘game.’
It is said that they were thoroughly deceived and manipulated.
Above all-
‘Never.’
They took away the Ceylon they remembered.
The reason why Ceylon became strange.
The cause must be them.
You will be in that world.
So-
If you completely destroy that world.
‘The Ceylon Army I know may return… ‘
Everything was a mess.
From idea to conclusion.
And the logic that connects them.
‘It’s clear.’
Nevertheless, Drin had no doubts about his own judgment.
Only then can we take revenge on them.
Only then-
Once again, you will be able to meet the Ceylon you remember.
Another Drin arrived on Earth like that.
Now-
“… Ceylon.”
I faced him again.
***
“… “
“… “
The moment when the eyes of someone else and mine meet.
I felt as if the world had stopped.
Like that, there was a lot in the gaze of the sheep looking at me.
Surprisingly.
The emotion contained in that gaze looking at me was not pure hatred or contempt.
There were complex emotions there that could not be defined in one word.
“… “
Conversation was necessary.
But how to open a dialogue with her.
I didn’t even dare to catch it.
“Ceylon… army… “
In the end, she was the one who opened her mouth first.
“You…” Is this the Ceylon County I remember? ?”
“… Yes?”
It was only then that I was able to read one of the many emotions in her eyes.
That’s confusing. Or it was the madness that resulted from it.
“… “No.”
“Miss I gave you, what on earth-“
“Don’t put my name out of your dirty mouth. “This fake!”
A black flame burned.
“These deceivers. My world… Ceylon County… Give it back… Otherwise… “
Gurgling.
Black tears poured out of her eyes.
Soon it turns into a black flame and burns.
It devours her face and takes her back into her solid armor of black flame.
“Otherwise… Otherwise… “
From Noble mtl dot com
Before she finished speaking, she was already moving.
‘Holy sh*t.’
Conversation is necessary.
But now she was unable to talk.
I felt like I had to calm her down first.
But.
I don’t know if this will be okay.
“We will return to you exactly what you did to our world.”
The knight of the fiercely burning black flame possessed greater power than I expected.
Will I be able to subdue her without causing any harm to her?
“Damn it…”
There was no choice.
Her body contracted like a spring as she held the sword of black flame and took her stance.
I braced myself for the coming shock as I entered into a battle with a terrible outcome.
“…!”
But suddenly her head suddenly turned.
My gaze naturally follows her.
The thing at the end of that gaze is-
“The amount you gave…?”
It was none other than the sheep we gave.
What happened while I was preoccupied with the sheep that someone else had given me?
The sheep we gave was standing there with our friends.
“You-…”
The pure white knight looked at the black flame knight with a puzzled face.
“…”
The knight of black flame also looked at the knight of pure white with a puzzled expression.
Growing.
Black Flame’s helmet comes off.
The two people’s eyes seemed to meet, and they murmured at the same time.
“Me…?”
“Me…?”
The two people’s eyes wavered.
“Meeting. What kind of situation is this?”
Miss Miz’s panicked voice was heard nearby.
