Chapter 193 – 193. The robber, the dog, and the cat
There was so much I wanted to say.
Starting with how you are aware of the first round.
How did you get the soul from the first episode?
He even accurately said that it was Kim Shin-woo, not Deius.
Who exactly is the unidentified being in front of me and what kind of power does it have?
I was curious about many things, but first.
“Are you selling this?”
As Aria asked carefully, for some reason, it felt as if the being in the dark was smiling insidiously.
“Yes, I have prepared something special for you with the items you would most like.”
Something worth wanting.
I didn’t like the word choice in every way, but whatever. Arya asked, feigning her composure as best as she could.
“How much is it?”
He quietly places his money bag on the counter. The sound of money with its heavy weight.
It was an amount that would have made a merchant glance at it even for a moment, but the owner of the general store did not hesitate at all and gave strength to Sun, who captured Kim Shin-woo’s soul in the first round.
“You cannot pay with money. “That’s not what I want to receive from Aria.”
“… … .”
“There are just two things I want from you. If you pay for just one of them, I’ll give you this.”
One of two?
When Aria gestured to listen, he suddenly transformed into a man, his golden eyes shining in the darkness.
“One is your destiny as a warrior.”
“… … !”
“Sell me your destiny to save the world.”
Is that possible?
I was confused as various thoughts came to mind, but the man continued talking.
“Another thing is memory.”
“memory?”
“Give me the memories you have of a world different from this one.”
Memories of a world different from this one?
“Are you talking about the first round?”
When Aria asked cautiously, the man paused for a moment and answered jokingly.
“That’s right.”
Aria felt something strange about the momentary silence. However, her gaze continued to touch Kim Shin-woo’s soul, which was held in the man’s hands.
What should I do with this?
Fate as a hero and memories of the first round.
If I were to give you one of the two, what should I give it? For a moment, I weighed it in my mind.
“I don’t want to live.”
The answer came out so quickly that it was refreshing.
“Hmm.”
The man’s eyes, shining alone in the darkness, take on a calm emotion.
He asked in the same tone as before, along with a low groan, saying he was quite surprised.
“Are you really not going to buy it? “It’s probably the thing you need the most.”
“I already buried the memories in my heart.”
Of course, every time I look at it, my heart aches and it hurts. But that didn’t mean he could sell what made him up now.
also.
“And both things you asked for. “Someone I know took it.”
Kim Shin-woo of the second round accepted the memories of the first round without denying them.
And it was he who continued his destiny as a warrior.
In fact, Aria had no choice.
“… … .”
For the first time, the general store owner kept his mouth shut. Seeing that, Aria turned her body and headed toward her entrance without even taking her purse.
“This is the first time you don’t buy anything from my general store.”
The owner was trying to at least applaud Aria as she left without any regrets.
Crash.
Arriving at the entrance, Aria locks the door and turns her gaze in the direction of the owner again.
“I’m sorry, but I am no longer a guest.”
A flame that lights up the darkness.
“It’s a robbery. “You damn bastard.”
The flame of mana blooming from Aria’s whole body spreads throughout the general store, engulfing the space itself.
“dare.”
The darkness of the general store is clearing.
A man with long white hair was sitting across from the counter. Looking at his eyes that have turned into vertical pupils, Aria realizes that he is a devil.
“Take the professor hostage in front of me?”
Aria stretched out her hand and tried to summon Duatein, the great sword she had used in the second round.
There was nothing in my palms. The fluttering mana is in vain and only passes through her fingers.
The man smiled and answered Aria.
“Isn’t it a very special place? “Even gods wouldn’t be able to find us here.”
In short, it means that you cannot load anything from outside the general store.

“Oh yeah.”
However, Aria snorted and stepped forward with her fists tightly clenched, wondering if that was all the restriction.
The powerful mana flame spreading behind her back was showing Aria’s current emotions.
“Then I will beat you to death.”
* * *
“bruise.”
Bullshit ringing in the lab.
It wasn’t a real dog barking, it was just someone who broke a promise and became a dog.
“Woof woof.”
“Bark moderately.”
I don’t know where I got it from, but I get annoyed at Finden Eye, who is wearing dog ears and barking all day next to me.
“Woof, woof, woof.”
“… … .”
Findeneye just barks and doesn’t respond.
Next time you drink again, you may be able to say that you are being very faithful to what you said.
It wasn’t like this from the beginning today.
He said he had a craving for spicy food because he was hungover and made a fuss about boiling haejangtang using an alcohol lamp in the lab and eating it.
Do it in moderation, kid.
I just said this and it’s been like this ever since.
‘It seems he really didn’t want to be called a child.’
A kind of protest against me.
A ridiculous threat that if you call me a child, you will be annoying to others.
“Woof woof.”
“ha.”
Even if you kick them out, they come back. When I lock the door, I open it with the spare key, come in, and do this next to me.
“I understand now, so stop.”
It was a declaration of surrender in its own way, but Findeneye glanced at me and responded.
“Doesn’t a dog bark when you ask it not to?”
“… … .”
“Wow.”
Should I just block his mouth with magic?
While I was thinking about this, Erica opened the door and came in.
I was with him just a little while ago, and when I saw Findeneye wearing dog ears, I went outside.
She came in hesitantly and there were cat ears in her hands.
“… … .”
“No, that… … “The one the kids used at the festival is in the warehouse.”
At the same time, he warned her as she tried to put it on her head.
“do not do that.”
“Findeneye said you like this kind of thing?”
Erika glances at Findeneye and asks for an explanation. Then Finden Eye answered right away.
“He told me that Illuania made a lot of plays like that.”
“Now you know that it wasn’t me back then, right?”
“You know what. It’s the same body. Why did I suck his butt? But was it because I dressed up a dog? “Did the owner dress up too?”
Then he immediately put the dog headband on my head.
[Phew!]
[Oh my, you look a little cuter.]
Grumbling.
Immediately, the headband placed on the forehead is burned with mana. Let’s take this while looking towards the Dark Spirit and Stella.
[Ah, run away!]
[Hehe, let’s go together, senior.]
The two just ran away over the wall.
I jumped up, turned around, and opened the window behind the chair.
“Well, since bastards suck each other’s butts, of course they dressed up as dogs…” … .”
Thinking that he understood something on his own, he used wind magic to throw the muttering Findeneye out the window.
Findeneye flew away without even screaming. There were quite a few floors, but when I looked down, I landed so cleanly that I got angry.
“after.”
My anger hasn’t subsided, but I like that it has become quieter.
He refocuses and begins to make a plan to go to the general store using the thread left by Ophelia’s daughter.
“… … .”
At that time, Erica slowly approaches.
Owen went to the park to do a street performance, and Professor Per confirmed that we were the only ones there, as it was his first night of sleep in a long time.
Swish.
He puts on the cat headband and gets on all fours on my desk.
“Hey, meow?”
“… … .”
“Can’t you at least react?”
Erica has a red face and an embarrassed expression. Erica used to be cold and stoic, but she has changed strangely in front of me lately, and she realizes that her mood is not to blame.
“It’s annoying, so come down.”
“Ho, I tried it just in case.”
The moment I was crying for no reason and trying to get off the desk without looking at my face.
Good!
The harsh sound of the door opening tore through the air in the laboratory.
“… … !”
I lifted my head up without realizing it as the thread responded instantly, and the purple door on the ceiling of the lab was wide open.
The door of Claire’s General Store, which we have seen several times in the game.
I don’t understand why that thing is hanging from the ceiling, but I immediately gather mana and try to jump.
On the contrary, a black-haired girl pops out from inside and swears.
“You bastard!”
Aria landed on the lab floor, surrounded by her own mana.
Mana took the form of a flame and acted as a cushion, and he tried to use them as a stepping stone to soar upward like a rocket.
“aria?”
Aria’s eyes suddenly turn to Erica’s embarrassed voice.
And that moment.
I’m sorry.
thud!
The door closed and he immediately disappeared.
A moment of just over a second.
Erica and I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the sudden situation, and Aria, who came out the door, gritted her teeth and glared at the ceiling where the door had disappeared, gathering up her mana again.
Aria, who slowly gathered her mana, took a deep breath and looked at us.
“… … “Do you two play like that?”
She looked at the cat ear headband on Erica’s head and made a subtle expression.
“This is… … !”
Erica hastily takes off her headband and hides it behind her.
“Was it Claire’s General Store?”
When I passed Erica and asked her, Aria immediately nodded and shouted.
“That’s right, Professor! But something was strange!”
“What were you selling?”
I’ve already heard a rough explanation from Ophelia, but the more information, the more helpful it is.
I asked Aria because I had a hunch that she wouldn’t have sold the same thing she sold to Ophelia.
Aria whispered, taking something out of her pocket with a serious yet secretly proud expression.
“I was selling my soul as a professor in the first session.”
“… … .”
“But you’re asking me to pay something ridiculous in price, right? So I robbed it and took it away!”
Aria, who said she couldn’t kill the owner but took his soul, proudly offered it.
“what?”
It was just a pile of mud that made my hands wet.
