Episode 178

People applaud.

Among the people of the Demonic Cult cheering for the upcoming move, the only ones with unpleasant expressions are me, Fay, and that guy named Amma.

Although Fay was at least raising the corners of her mouth to maintain her dignity, the expressions on my face and my mother’s face were not very good.

And of course, the reason is because of what Fay said at the end.

‘What were you thinking when you said that?’

I had a burning desire to ask that question right away, but I held back for now.

Because I know that it wasn’t Pay who decided it, but that Heavenly Demon who decided it.

So, I thought I’d ask first.

‘Pay.’

Knock knock.

While she was laughing at everyone else, he poked her in the ribs and whispered softly enough for only her to hear.

‘Let’s talk.’

Nod.

She nodded slightly and then slowly walked away.

I followed her out, greeted by the cheers coming from all directions as if I had already given a speech to the fanatics.

Rattling.

After that, the door closed and I left with that guy named Amma following me.

“What on earth are you thinking?”

The words just came out of my mouth.

“……Father said that you are something we absolutely need right now.”

As she said that, Amma wrinkled her face at Fay who was snickering.

[… … I can’t understand.]

I turned my gaze to the guy who was saying that, but he didn’t even look at me and just kept his gaze fixed on Fay as he spoke.

[I stayed still because it was my brother’s will, but no matter what, I find it hard to accept that we have to entrust the fate of our Demonic Cult to a guy like this. Instead, use me.]

Knock knock.

He said that and beat his chest.

[You have the right to do that. You can use me as a sacrifice or bait to lure out those foreigners and kill them, but why do you insist on using this outsider? Why on earth!]

I don’t know how much time had passed since I passed out, but to me it was just a few hours ago that he was hellbent on killing us.

What do you mean, a guy like that wants to be used by someone else?

It was a sight that was both funny and grotesque.

“……I understand your uncle’s opinion, but that’s why it’s even more necessary.”

[What?]

But to that mother, Fay spoke in an even colder voice.

“Currently, our cult is in a very dangerous state. The Seven Great Guilds, who were already annoying, showed signs of war when we said we would go to war with the Bone Fortress, and now they are determined to completely destroy us.”

Sigh.

Then Fay takes something out.

[This is… … .]

“This is a list of those who died in unofficial battles with other groups. We were unable to deliver it to you because of internal strife just before we were able to obtain it.”

The so-called political faction that Pay belonged to was a group that was in charge of areas other than military force.

Therefore, it was natural that the forces of this evil spirit, which were solely focused on force, did not receive the news.

[… … .]

Flutter, flutter.

Amma, who received the list with trembling hands for some reason, sighed as she turned each page.

[I see, there are so many… … .]

Trembling.

Fay spoke coldly to Amma, who was gradually slowing down the speed at which she was turning over the list.

“I’m sure your uncle expected this to some extent. Most of them were his family members.”

[… … Yeah, to some extent.]

Although he appeared calm on the outside, his voice continued to tremble.

[Was it something like this… … .]

“Three elders have passed away. Without exaggeration, this is the most dangerous time in the history of the Demonic Cult.”

[… … .]

Mom’s expression looked complicated.

“The reason my uncle is still alive is because my father knew.”

Payne sighed.

“It may have been a bit extreme in its methods, but it was an action for the Demonic Cult. If not, my father would have killed my uncle right then.”

[… … It’s gloomy.]

Flutter.

Amma’s eyes were sunken as she handed over the list again.

[So, that may be a reason to distrust me, but it doesn’t seem to be enough of a reason to recruit this guy now.]

“Father could already have nominated this person as the next Heavenly Horse.”

Fay puts her hand on my shoulder as she says that.

“But he didn’t do it because he was thinking of me, and what’s more, his goals are similar to ours.”

[… … Assassination of foreign media.]

He nodded his head vigorously, as if he had guessed something.

[I understand.]

“Besides, since we are now suspected of having ties with foreign media, we are not only looked down upon by the union but also by the management.”

She said that and glanced at me.

“In reality, since we’re on bad terms with the administrator at the top, it’s safe to say that we have no other chance of survival… than this person.”

[Could it be that he was a guy with a connection to the manager?]

He opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised.

It’s good that you’re praising me, but I need to correct it first.

“I’ll tell you up front, I’m not in a position to ask the manager to take care of you guys.”

“I know.”

She smiles faintly while doing so.

“Just to show that our cult is not on the same level as the foreign press, we must help you eliminate the foreign press.”

[Wait a minute, that means we… …!]

“yes.”

Fay spoke in a heavy voice to him, who seemed flustered.

“In reality, it’s not that we are recruiting this person, but rather that this person is recruiting us.”

[… … .]

Everyone was speechless at those words.

Of course, it was a fact that even I couldn’t say anything about.

“……Are you serious?”

Only after a long time could I say that.

That’s because, no matter how weakened it may be at present, the Demonic Cult is still an enormous organization.

As the name suggests, it is one of the seven major forces in the tower.

The power of such a group, in words, is cooperation, but doesn’t that mean it’s okay to give me the reins?

“Of course, since we are in a different position, we can’t help you personally…… but there’s just one thing.”

Fay opened her mouth heavily and put her hand on her chest.

“We will help even if it means risking our very existence in a showdown with foreign media. That is the only way for us to survive.”

The frail girl seen on the 11th floor had disappeared, and now she looked like the head of a respectable organization.

[……shit.]

Buck buck.

Mom, who was scratching the back of her head, sighed.

[I can’t complain, considering that this whole thing started with me.]

“Stay tuned, uncle. There’s a lot to do.”

There was a slight creepiness to be felt on Fay’s face as she smiled at her mother.

Is it because she’s that nobleman’s daughter? I think she looks somewhat similar.

“And Morse… I have something to tell you.”

“Are you going to tell me?”

“Yes, Father said that this is information that would force you to help us.”

After saying that and taking a deep breath, Fay soon spoke quietly.

As if you shouldn’t let your mother find out.

‘How to meet foreign media.’

Kuk.

I bit my lip hard and tasted blood, as if it had burst.

“……Are you sure?”

“Because it’s information that my father told me himself, there’s almost no chance that it’s wrong.”

Fay said they would discuss the details in the next room and went into one of the rooms.

As we followed in, Fay turned on the light.

It was an ordinary room, with a desk, a chair, and a bed.

“I’ll tell you in advance, once you hear this, there’s no turning back.”

Slap.

Fay, sitting on the edge of the bed, met my eyes.

“……You won’t regret it, right?”

“of course.”

Anything was fine as long as I could catch that foreign news and beat it.

Fay snickered at the sight of me like that.

“……You really haven’t changed at all since you were on the 11th floor.”

“Tell me how, quickly.”

“yes yes.”

She shrugged her shoulders as I urged her on, then quickly regained her composure and spoke.

“I’ll tell you in advance that this method is dangerous even for you if you get caught. First of all, the administrators will never allow you to use this method.”

“……I guess so.”

This information was extremely dangerous, as not only Cheonma but also Bella had been told to avoid contacting the administrator as much as possible.

If I get caught, I might end up having to treat the managers as my enemies.

I wanted to avoid that as much as possible.

“So, the point of this method is to make it look like they are ‘forcibly’ dragging you there, rather than you going there yourself.”

That’s why she, no. Perhaps it was the Heavenly Demon who taught her this method.

“Is there such a way?”

“Yes, do you know how the foreign media projects their power into the tower?”

Single.

Without waiting for my answer, she floated an unidentifiable sphere over her hand.

“Most people somehow manage to bring an item imbued with their power into the tower, and the power grows from within the person who acquired it… but doing so would not only be dangerous for you, but it would also be difficult to obtain that much power.”

And then, boom.

And when she pointed to the floor, a system window appeared there.

“So, we’re going to find the door that you opened first.”

“……door?”

“Yes, there are bound to be people who try to get in touch with outsiders even within the tower. When those people gather, there are times when they create a door like that.”

“So does that mean I have to go through with it?”

“I told you, you shouldn’t just go there, but make it look like you were dragged there by force.”

Smile.

As she smiled and pointed to the system window, a landscape appeared.

A dark hole in the floor of a huge stone structure.

“Did you know that one of the most common things they do to gain power from foreign media is human sacrifice?”

“That’s terrible. Really?”

She nodded as if my prediction was correct.

“Mr. Morse, from now on, you must fall into the hole where those guys are making human sacrifices, as if it were a trap.”

“Then how are you guys going to help with that?”

When I said that, she smiled faintly.

“We have to cross over too!”

I said something ridiculous.

But what’s even more absurd is:

“So Mr. Morse, I’ll give you information on the underlings of those foreign correspondents.”

Her next words were:

“Until that happens, please continue!”

“……what?”

***

Squeak.

As I cut down the ones in front, the last one to fall trembled in fear and convulsed.

“Ugh, gasp…… gasp!”

Were there still any left?

An ice pick flies towards him just before he stabs him with his sword.

Phew!

Only then did I look around, kicking and patting the completely dead guy.

As expected, I can’t see a door or anything similar.

[None.]

The spider muttered the same thing.

“Then next is…….”

[They say there’s a suspicious force on what used to be the 33rd floor, let’s go!]

Now, it’s to the point where I open the gate as soon as I hear the word.

What can I say?

I’m currently on a so-called merry-go-round.
