Regression Is Too Much - Regression Is Too Muchchapter 262

262 – Proved by the Regressor (2)

Dark night. Scattering snow. The snow is highlighted in white by torches, which are the few light sources. The face of the man who opened the door changed color due to the flames and looked somewhat strange.

“Follow me! Friends!”

A blonde Westerner shouted loudly and took the lead without checking. He nodded to the other Westerners gathered in front of the log cabin and began to walk steadily forward. The attitude is as if it is natural to follow.

〈27th floor〉

-Help the warriors defeat the ‘warlock who made a contract with the devil.’

A message window pops up just in time. I don’t think the shirtless men you see here are ‘warlocks’… It is clear that he is a warrior.

“You asked me to help the warriors… “I guess it’s right to follow, right?”

“I guess that’s true, but… “

The players, who hesitated, got up from their seats and started following the men. Why aren’t any of those men wearing tops? Is it like a tradition?

“There woman! “You have the attitude of a warrior!”

“If only it weren’t for that strange piece of cloth!”

Warriors make jokes at players wearing bikinis while walking. At first, the female player didn’t know she was talking to her, but she suddenly felt embarrassed and changed into plain leather clothes.

“… Why were you wearing a bikini in the first place?”

“It was a dream… It’s a bit… Here. So… “

“… It’s an amazing year.”

“What a bitch.”

Did that break the awkwardness? Was there nothing to do while walking anyway?

“It seems like a collaborative layer, so let’s just say it together.”

“Well, everyone knows Choi Ji-won. “What is your name next to me?”

“Kim Jun-ho.”

“Hmm. Korean?”

“Okay.”

“We are both from Italy… “

What follows is a not very curious self-introduction. I roughly remembered that the two men were from Italy and the woman was from France. I heard there are a lot of people in France, but I never thought they would make it to the top wearing bikini armor like that.

“That’s a bit bold.”

“No, the transparent part also has defense power? It’s a strategy to catch the opponent off guard… “

“Yes, yes. I definitely let my guard down.”

“Ah! Really!”

While two Italian men were teasing a French woman, the warriors walking in front stopped.

“We have arrived!”

The first Santal monster, who had not been seen for a while because he had gone to the front, returned. Behind him, a large village built of logs can be seen. The burning torches between the snow-covered roofs are very romantic.

“This is the village of our warriors! “I’m sure I’m tired, so I’ll take a good night’s rest and leave tomorrow!”

“Oh, yes.”

I wasn’t tired as I had just come in, but when I was told to rest, I decided to rest for now. They assigned all the players to a large log cabin, and soon the women came in and left drinks and food.

The overall view outside the window has a very Northern European feel. The same applies to men with dull blonde hair, and the same goes for walking around topless like a real man. Also, it’s full of muscles. Sometimes we saw a muscular woman with her top off her, but every time we did, we looked at a French woman in a bikini.

“What, what!”

“No.”

Children kicking and playing with animal skulls outside the window. Men pounding their chests. Women chatting without concern even though their breasts are clearly visible. It felt like I had come back to the primitive era.

“… “

I looked away and chewed the bread on the table. No, I thought I chewed it.

-Cracked.

Bread makes noises that shouldn’t be made, and the teeth bounce and click against each other. Isn’t this food for people to eat? I took a bite of the meat out of curiosity, and a rich, spicy smell that I had never felt before in my life spread through my nose and throughout my body.

“… “

“… “

Since I couldn’t complain that it wasn’t tasty when I was being served, I just quietly put down the food. Other players who had tasted the food seemed to have reached the same conclusion as me, leaving the food alone and continuing their small talk among themselves. It looks like he wants to show off by looking at Choi Ji-won and continuing to talk, but Choi Ji-won answered in a businesslike manner, so there wasn’t much of a result.

-Snap!

The door opens again, and the blonde man I first saw on the 27th floor comes back in. Still not wearing a top.

“Excuse me… “

“Call me captain!”

“Is it so. Leader. So what do we do from now on?”

The eyebrows of the man who calls himself ‘Captain’ twitch and move.

“What, did you come without knowing what you were doing?”

“Yes.”

“Okay! All you have to do is let me know!”

Bang bang! The captain, who was pounding his chest, suddenly opened the window and points outside. A cold wind blew in and blew out the candles inside the log cabin.

“Excuse me! Can you see it?”

“… “What is it?”

“I mean mountains, mountains!”

The captain, full of fighting spirit, points to the mountain in the distance. It was hard to see because it was night, but the faint shape itself was visible.

“Our goal is simple! Go to the warlock lurking there! “Kill him!”

“… “

“It’s simple! Even a child can understand! Haha!”

The captain takes out a flint from his pants pocket and lights the candle again. At that time, a French woman who preferred bikini armor hesitantly raised her hand.

“Excuse me… “Can I ask you something?”

“Okay then!”

“When we first saw each other… “Didn’t you ask me if I was ready to die with honor?”

“That’s right!”

“But it’s easy… Why prepare to die… “

“You never said it was easy?”

The captain tilted his head, smashed the hard bread on the table, took a piece, and ate it.

“I’m probably going to die. Still, isn’t it okay to come here?”

“… ?”

“It is an honorable death, and I am sure God will be satisfied! God is good that we die with honor, and it is good that we can eat, drink and play as much as we want after we die!”

This time, the captain picks up a handful of meat with his hands and eats it ravenously.

“Today is my last day as captain! It was painful all this time! Doing menial work as a captain! I envy you! “You could die as soon as you arrive!”

“… “

“… “

The narrow log cabin is filled only with the captain’s grumbling. After eating everything in his mouth, the captain burps and goes outside.

“I don’t think I’m in my right mind.”

“I guess so.”

Only then did the players admit that they had gone crazy.

“No, maybe I’m not crazy.”

It was Choi Ji-won who said this.

“Just… I felt like I had a headache. Should we say that the civilizations are different?”

It is not an insult such as ‘you are not educated’, which is commonly used in modern society. As the word goes, there is a real lack of education. This is what I say when I see barbaric humans.

“Hmm. Definitely.”

“Rather than feeling like there is malice… Why can’t I understand this simple thing? It felt like that. Should I say that common sense is different?”

Other players who actively agree with Choi Ji-won’s words.

“But isn’t it strange?”

“What is it?”

“Just this town.”

But when I thought about it, this situation was quite strange.

“Jiwon is right. These people… It looks a bit stupid. It’s so cold, don’t you walk around with your top open, don’t you eat meat as it is with its delicious smell, don’t you confidently say that you’re going to die… “

While saying that, I tapped on the glass window next to where I was sitting.

“But these people even put glass windows in their log cabins… I feel so strange.”

“… !”

That’s right.

These guys talk, act, and act like obvious barbarians. Rather than discriminating, they act purely like uncivilized humans.

But what is this log cabin, and what are the glass windows? How much work goes into making glass? Even though it is hard, how difficult is it to make bread? How did you get wheat in this cold place in the first place? What about candles? This candle isn’t just animal fat, it’s a real candle?

Strange people. And a decent village. This gap keeps disturbing my heart.

“If… Well, they took over the village because they were cannibals… “

“I don’t think so… Hmm… “

As if they thought what I was saying made sense, the players’ complexions suddenly worsened.

“But… Didn’t the status window say to help the ‘warriors’? “Isn’t there anyone around here who is more of a warrior than them?”

〈27th floor〉

-Help the warriors defeat the ‘warlock who made a contract with the devil.’

Here, it was Choi Ji-won who refuted again.

Either in context or in appearance. It is clear that the ‘help’ that the status window refers to is given to those men. So it is correct to view it as an ally rather than an enemy… Where did this gap in civilization come from?

“… “

“… “

Help the warriors, deal with the warlock. What the ‘Captain’ mentioned earlier was killing the warlock. The answer is clearly to follow them.

I understand, but an inexplicable feeling of reluctance lingers in my head. What. Why?

While I was thinking about it, time flew by. The dark outside is slowly becoming light, and the floor where the footprints were left is filling up again due to the newly accumulated snow.

The morning dawned.

“You’re awake!” Let’s go!”

The captain knocked on the door and handed over a large piece of meat.

“Eat as you go! “It tastes good!”

“… “

Toward the tall mountain.

The journey has begun.
