I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 053
16. Encounter (3)
The three men, startled by the sudden hug, hurriedly covered their faces with both hands and whistled.
“Whew, whew! Whee! What is it? I really like it!” Eugene, holding Serin in his arms and glaring at the World Tree, sent a warning with his eyes.
‘Stop talking nonsense.’
Whether Eugene was shooting lasers or spitting lightning with his eyes, the World Tree was flailing its legs between the deer’s antlers.
〈Gyaaaah! What should I do!〉
The World Tree, who was squealing like a country girl with her tongue tied in embarrassment, shook her face back and forth while covering it. ‘Oh, Eternal, are you still sleeping?’ Eugene, who had been missing Eternal for a long time, looked down at Serin’s crown.
“excuse me??????
The abdominal area was moist.
‘Ugh.’
Eugene noticed that the guide was crying in his arms and quietly raised his hand.
“Oh my… ….” Eugene, who was about to place his raised hand on Serin’s head, closed his eyes tightly and waited.
Hug.
Serin, who had been hugging Eugene a little tighter than before, pulled her forehead up and looked up at his longing face.
‘This isn’t a dream.’
A strange scent from the black cloak that had once been worn tickled Serin’s nose.
The slightly flushed face stepped back silently.
” sorry……
Serin, who apologized in a voice as soft as a mosquito, fixed her gaze on her own feet.
“long time no see.”
Eugene, smiling faintly as before, said the words he had not been able to finish a moment ago.
“I thought it was on the 33rd floor?”
“Did you hear that from Mr. Albert? That’s why you were going up?”
“that’s right.”
Serin, who felt a strange sense of satisfaction at the fact that her guess was correct, explained why she had come down to the 18th floor.
“Actually, I wanted to send a letter
“letter?”
“A deer. Over there.” When Serin glanced at the deer out of the corner of her eye, Eugene made a face that seemed to indicate that he knew.
“Were you trying to send me a letter?”
“yes.”
Serin, who was thinking about what to say, answered with difficulty after a short silence.
“Just like that.”
” just?”
“yes.”
Serin, who had difficulty answering once again, added an explanation.
“I knew what that deer could do, and I found out where it was… so I tried to steal it from other guilds.”
While continuing the explanation, Serin noticed something and raised her head and asked.
“Oh, by any chance did you grab the chain and tear it off in the forest downstairs?”
Eugene nodded, realizing what Serin was trying to ask.
“Ah. That was me.”
“It was strange that the chain didn’t break easily… …
“Still, you managed to find it?”
“Have you been to the 17th floor? That’s where I found out. It’s Mr. Choi.”
“Ah, that gentleman… …
“I knew right away when you said the deer was cute. Of course, at the time I had no idea who the culprit was.”
While continuing to speak, Serin’s expression crumpled and she fixed her gaze on her own feet again and began to reproach herself.
“Ugh, idiot… If you had opened the community window even once, I would have come down to greet you right away… I’m sorry.”
She was thinking about what Eugene had said to her: ‘Wait here for a moment.’
“what?”
When Eugene asked as if he didn’t know what he was sorry about, Serin answered.
“He told me to wait, but he kept his promise.
“I can’t keep it.”
“Ah.” “That’s… I wanted to visit my mother’s grave, I was worried about the people at the top, and I wanted to try my own top kit list… So… …
As he spoke, his voice began to choke up again, as if his emotions were welling up.
“???sorry.”
Eugene, who couldn’t hold back his laughter at the sight of her sobbing, reached out to pay for what he had to pay for.
“oh……
There was a sound.
“What else is on my top kit list?”
Eugene reached out and gave her a strong chestnut rub on her forehead, causing her pure white forehead to turn the same color as her cheeks.
“That’s it, I wrote it while waiting for it… It’s exactly the same as the original.”
Eugene giggled.
“Me too. On the 77th floor.”
Seorin, who regained a little of her confidence at the sound of Eugene’s laughter, spoke in a bright voice.
“Right! That’s right, I really raised the poison resistance trait! And on top of that, there’s also the trait to withstand heat and cold… …
Eugene linked arms with Serin and gave her advice as she continued to brag about herself.

“If you raised it too much, you’re saying you couldn’t raise it all the way? Raise it all the way and then talk about it.”
“I’m joking. Good job.”
When Eugene, who had been teasing Seorin, praised her innocently, Seorin’s cheeks turned a little redder.
“From what you said earlier, it looks like you were working with someone else? That climber who uses fire magic?”
“Oh, yes.”
Serin, who had been looking down, nodded her head.
“The guild?”
Eugene glanced at Serin’s clothes and noticed that there were no special patterns, so he asked.
“I guess there aren’t any?”
If she was a member of a guild, there had to be a guild symbol drawn on one part of her clothing.
“Yes. Just a simple donation.”
Serin, who answered that she was supporting a guild with a mercenary feel, explained the reason.
“There was a limit to how much I could help the top people on my own. So I had no choice.”
Eugene, who was listening to Serin’s words, glanced at the ring on her finger.
“Have you met the answerer?”
Seorin, who didn’t notice Eugene’s gaze, asked about the results of the past three months.
” that is??????
Eugene took his eyes off the ring and spoke with difficulty.
“There wasn’t much income.”
“You said there wasn’t any?”
“Actually, when I came out, I was a bit surprised because the time passing there was different from here… I came out after working hard for 4 hours on the practice floor, but 3 months had passed on the top.”
“4 hours?”
Surin’s eyebrows furrowed in surprise at Eugene’s words.
“Something feels strange.”
Serin, who did not doubt Eugene’s words, put her fist to her mouth and asked after much thought.
“No income?”
“I did meet the answerer. I did meet him, but… …
Eugene shook his head as he recalled the conversation he had with Anser and began to speak.
“When I asked him why he started from the 100th floor, he avoided answering, saying, ‘That’s a question I’ve already answered.’”
“Is this a question that has already been answered?”
“Yeah. I tried to ask in a roundabout way, but he always answered in that way.”
The more I thought about it, the more it made me angry.
“Something… seems strange. If you were going to avoid answering, there would be no need to use the word ‘duplicate’, right?”
Serin thought that the reason she got the answer ‘duplicate’ was a hint.
“What about the class?” Serin, who had been resting her chin on her hand, asked the next question.
“I heard the answer about that, but the nuance is that it seems difficult to change classes to one of the five basic classes. I think I should also look into hidden classes.”
“Hidden class… …
“If you are really stuck, you should ask your teacher for advice.”
“Master?”
As for his teacher, he had only been mentioned briefly the last time, but I had never heard anything in detail about him.
“You met at the top floor?”
“that’s right.”
Eugene nodded and looked up as he continued speaking.
“Maybe you know something about this situation. Even if you don’t, I’d like to send you a letter to let you know how I’m doing.”
Eugene looked back at Serin and shrugged.
“Sending a letter to the teacher was also on the top of my list. I can do it if he’s here. It’d be better than going up to the 100th floor again.” Serin turned her gaze to Eugene’s words and met the eyes of the deer that was blankly staring at her.
“Come to think of it… …
To be exact, I locked eyes with a green dwarf sitting between the deer’s antlers.
“Me… World Tree too?”
〈Oh my, World Tree?〉
La Sil, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, covered her mouth with both hands.
“The World Tree… ….” Eugene looked at the World Tree with a pitiful expression as it muttered with a look of ecstasy and excitement.
“Come for a moment.”
At Eugene’s gesture that ruined the good moment, Rasil tapped the deer’s forehead with a slightly crooked expression.
〈Ecstasy?!〉
Rasil, who had been bitten all over by Eugene’s fingers, fell flat on Deer’s forehead.
〈Why is that?!〉
Once again, there is still no sign of reflection.
〈Ecstasy?!〉
Eugene snapped his fingers again, knocking Rasil over.
〈No, why?!〉
Eugene’s eyebrows furrowed once, perhaps because he didn’t like Rasil’s reaction.
I was planning on feeding this world tree honey until it realized its mistake.
〈Yeah.〉
“Why are you doing that!” Before the seventh slash hit his face, Rasil looked at Serin in a panic.
It seemed like he had only just realized that he had done something wrong.
〈I guess I was a bit out of it for a while because of the heat!〉
Serin, who had taken a step back at Rasil’s apology, waved her hand as if there was no need to do so.
“are you okay.”
“What’s the big deal?” Eugene interrupted and continued, glaring at Rasil, who was bowing deeply.
“If you did something wrong, you deserve an apology.”
The fearsome World Tree looked as docile as a herbivore in front of a tiger in front of Eugene.
“Did you get their apology?”
It was talking about Black Rose.
“…no.”
Serin, who had flinched at Eugene’s question, shook her head.
“yet……
Eugene sighed as if he had known this would happen.
“Well, judging from what they were installing down below, I don’t think they’ve received it yet.”
“Down there?”
“Before I met you, I went to the 18.5th floor. There it was. Black Rose.
Serin, who had a surprised expression on her face at Eugene’s words, thought back to the three tower people she had just encountered.
“Then, what about Mr. Mirami?”
“I asked you to keep an eye on the deer.”
” haha??????
Serin avoided his gaze and smiled awkwardly.
“But weren’t you going up to the 33rd floor? Why the 18.5th floor?”
More than her enemies, she was curious as to why her employer had gone astray.
“I heard there’s a good item.”
Eugene opened his inventory in response to the question and took out a golden bottle of potion that was shining brightly inside.
“this.”
The identity of the potion that has not been consumed yet.
[Characteristic Eraser]
[Rank: Unique]
[consumption]
[A potion that erases human characteristics and takes effect the moment you drink it]
[If taken, you can permanently delete one desired trait.]
