[There’s someone on the 97th floor? Is it someone who came down with me? Or someone who came up from below? Oh my god… What should I do?]
[Comments (11)]
【People? On the 97th floor? Wow!】
[What should I do? At least try talking to her or something.]
[*I want to do that too, but I can’t wake him up because he’s sleeping soundly…]
[You’re sleeping?]
[*Yes. I’m lying on the lawn and sleeping. Just like that.]
[that?]
[*What kind of fairy tale was it? Oh, like Sleeping Beauty.]
[This kid is now trying to plagiarize fairy tales
Huh?]
[Then wait.]
[What is the sleeping person’s level?]
[* Question mark.]
“You must be just quietly looking at the ring. Where are you and what are you doing?”
Eugene ran in a hurry and searched the place where he had last fallen with the deer, but the deer was nowhere to be seen.
“That girl Rasil is the problem.”
Eugene, with a sinewy forehead, took a short deep breath and began to look at the floor.
The workshop floor was polished and sparkling, as if there was a cleaner there.
If the floor was this well-polished, it was certain that the baby deer’s hooves would have left marks.
‘shit.’
Yoo Jin, who was staring at the neatly cleaned floor, wrinkled his face as if he was not satisfied.
Whatever the workshop’s invention was, it was made with the tower’s blessing, and the hallway Eugene had just passed through was sparkling cleanly.
‘If there is no trace on the floor… …
Eugene, who had been focusing on his sense of smell while sniffing the air, crumpled his expression once again at the strange pine scent spreading throughout the workshop.
“Oh my? You even sprayed air freshener?”
The building I first came across seemed better maintained than the tall buildings outside the tower, which seemed to offer a sense of relaxation against the backdrop of the desert.
“Hey. Get up.”
〈It’s already happening.〉
A faint black color appeared on Eugene’s left shoulder.
“Look for him.”
〈Why should I do that?〉
As Eternal, who was squirming at Eugene’s command, grumbled in disapproval, another vein appeared on Eugene’s forehead. “Isn’t it a win-win for you and me now that one chatty country girl is gone?”
Eugene gave his final warning to Eternal’s words.
“Find it.”
〈Ah, I miss my friend!〉
Eternal, who had been cowering in fear of Eugene’s murder, began to silently scatter his translucent black color.
〈Just wait a moment. If it’s inside the building, you’ll find it right away… … .>
Eternal, who was hurriedly trying to find the World Tree because of Eugene’s will to live, stopped talking in the middle.
“why’?”
“There’s something strange.”
“Something strange?”
〈A glass room? There’s something like a laboratory.〉
Eugene tilted his head as Eternal talked about something else odd that wasn’t a deer.
“laboratory?”
I thought that since it was the workshop of the tower, something like that would happen, but I felt uneasy that Eternal had specifically said that it was ‘something strange’.
“Let’s hear about it later. Just go and look for a deer. It may not be Rasil, but deer are cute, right?”
It was a story that would have made Rasil whine for a long time if he had heard it, but it was a story that he could easily bring up since he was not there.
〈Hehehe! That’s right!〉
Ether Nal, who seemed excited by those words, began to chase the deer with gusto.
‘Where on earth did these troublemakers hide that it took them this long to find them?’ Judging from the fact that Eternal couldn’t find them easily even when he moved, it seemed like Deer had hidden quite well.
‘I don’t think Rasil is that meticulous, so the story is that the deer hid well…
As if he had found what he was looking for, Eternal touched Eugene’s shoulder.
〈Found it. It’s near the emergency exit.〉
“Emergency exit?”
There were more than one or two emergency exits immediately visible.
Since there were no characteristics like the clone technique, it was impossible to check everything at once, so a little more detailed information was needed.
“Which emergency exit?”
〈No, this body should tell you that too… … .>
” under?”
As Eugene’s eyebrows furrowed, Ether Nal immediately spoke.
〈The emergency exit is the one on the far left when you turn around. The reason I didn’t choose the nearest emergency exit is because there are a lot of people passing by there.〉
Eugene, whose expression had softened at Eternal’s explanation, looked at the emergency exit he had mentioned.

‘Thank goodness it didn’t go somewhere completely different.’
I let out a sigh of relief at Eternal’s answer.
Because of the deer’s ability to move freely up and down the tower, it could disappear to another place in the blink of an eye.
‘I won’t move without thinking because there’s Rasil, but there’s still a chance.’
Thinking about my luck stat, I had to assume that I was still pretty lucky.
“???148 is here?”
“Yes! I just got a report that they saw it in the workshop… It should be here somewhere.”
I thought things were going well.
‘Is this a bulletin board?’
It seemed like someone had posted something like ‘I saw a deer in the workshop’ on the bulletin board.
The men, who had stickers that said ‘Ranker’ on their faces, were referring to the number 148 as if a deer was chasing them.
‘I knew it would stick, but I never thought it would stick in the workshop…
Since she had recently reunited with her guide, it didn’t seem like the people she was helping had come looking for her.
‘Are you a guild member?’
Eugene, who was secretly walking towards the emergency exit that Eternal had told him about, checked the patterns drawn on the men’s clothes.
‘I’ve seen this painting somewhere… Where have I seen that painting before?’
I wondered where I had seen it before, and the same pattern was drawn on the clothes of the thugs who had picked a fight with Mr. Choi on the 17th floor.
‘Ah, it’s them.’
Since that was our first meeting, it wasn’t a guild that gave me particularly good feelings.
‘There’s no need to get involved for no reason.’
The reason I avoided the toilet was not because I was scared or because it was dirty.
If it was dirty, I had seen it from the top floor, so there was no need to avoid it.
It was because I was annoyed.
When you come across those guys who call the deer number 148, you don’t even need to look to see what happens next.
“There was also information that the fireworks weren’t on the 20th floor… Are you sure? The article says 148 is here?”
“You should look it up yourself. It wasn’t mentioned in the hot thread, but there were definitely reports. And there were quite a few.”
Eugene listened as he passed by the two giants who were following the deer’s tracks.
‘A lot of people have reported it, huh… Well, the deer is cute. It wouldn’t be strange if there were a review or two on the bulletin board.’ Eugene turned his head to glance at the backs of the two giants and checked where they were headed.
‘Wait, over there… …
In the direction they were heading was the eccentric shop that Eugene had stopped by today.
‘I wonder if it’s okay?’
Eugene, worried that the weirdo might say something about the deer, shook his head slightly and quickened his pace.
‘I don’t know. Right now, I have to take care of the deer first.’
If another incident had occurred, he was confident that he could suppress it to some extent, but it was not easy to handle the deer teeth moving to another floor.
‘You said it was here, right?’
Eugene walked towards the emergency exit that Eternal had told him about and carefully opened the door.
Squeak… … .
The sound of the door opening was loud.
Whether it is to prepare for an emergency or not, the science of the workshop has developed
The room’s emergency exit was a regular sliding door. “???Deer?”
Eugene glanced behind him at the sound of the door opening and stepped toward the emergency exit.
As Eugene made a noise, the small animal hiding inside the emergency exit began stamping its hooves in a panic.
Eugene, who first heard the country girl’s voice and let out a sigh of relief, discovered the deer crying.
“Thank goodness.” Not only was it fortunate that he hadn’t moved to another place, but he had also been spared from being caught by haphazard humans like the ones he had just witnessed.
“It looks like there are no injuries.”
When Eugene, who had confirmed the safety of the deer, smiled while standing a few steps away, the trembling deer’s eyes sparkled after seeing Eugene’s face.
≪ o OO ≫
-r, -1―r……?
“hmm?”
“Eugene… Eugene… …
Eugene blinked as his name came out of the tearful mouth of the deer.
“what?”
As I muttered, wondering if I had misheard, Rasil, who was sitting on the deer’s head, spoke with an awkward expression.
〈The deer… I think it can speak now.〉
“You can now speak?”
I thought I had awakened to something like the ‘ability to communicate with animals’ without even knowing it, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Uh… a deer?”
When Eugene called the deer’s name with a half-hearted expression, the deer looked at Eugene with tears in his eyes. “Eugene??????
Those eyes are so earnest! They were so cute that I wondered if there was some kind of trait that aroused a protective instinct.
“Eugene… …
When the deer called out ‘Eugene’ in a grumbling voice, Eugene answered to correct him.
“No. It’s not Eugene, it’s Eugene. But isn’t it strange? You’re suddenly able to speak… …
As Eugene muttered as if it was a new experience, Rasil looked at the deer with a pitiful expression.
〈That’s… … .>
“Eugene… is abandoning me?”
“what?”
Eugene’s brow furrowed as Deer cautiously asked the question.
The deer, who thought he would get angry at her furrowed brows, continued speaking while shrinking his small body.
“Eugene, don’t abandon me.”
“Why did I abandon the deer?”
“I don’t like whips. I don’t like chains.”
The deer, with its eyes tightly shut and sobbing as if the trauma had come back to it, shook its antlers back and forth.
〈I guess… he thought the hero was abandoning the deer. I tried to convince him otherwise, but he didn’t believe me.〉
Rasil, who was hanging on the deer’s horns and shaking, explained with a pitiful tone.
“Deer.”
Eugene bent his knees and reached out his hand to be at eye level with the deer.
The deer, which had been shaking its head repeatedly as if in pain at being abandoned, stopped moving when Eugene touched it with his hand.
“I don’t know what you think of me, but to me, you’re not number 148, you’re a deer.”
“Friends, not things.”
Eugene, who emphasized the word friend, looked straight into Deer’s eyes.
“Friend… Gu?” Of course, I can’t deny that I coveted the deer while talking about the top kit list… … .
I had no intention of treating this little friend, whom both Rasil and Eternal liked, like an object.
“Yeah, buddy.”
It was cuter than anything else.
The deer was so cute that even the terrible Eternal said, ‘Hehe! That’s right!’
It wasn’t for nothing that I had thought that the two trials that came down together might abandon me.
“I was thinking the same thing as the deer. I was wondering if the deer had abandoned me.”
When Eugene started talking while looking at Deer’s face, Deer shook his head again.
“no……
“Me neither.”
Eugene, who smiled slightly, looked up at the World Tree hanging from the deer’s antlers.
“I think we misunderstood each other because this World Tree wasn’t doing its job properly.”
“I’m sorry, deer. I’ll be more careful from now on.”
“No, wait a minute? The deer didn’t listen to me!”
Eugene continued speaking as he stroked the fluffy fur of the deer.
“I’m sorry. I made you misunderstand. I’ll apologize on your behalf… Will you accept it?”
The deer nodded, its eyes sparkling as if moved by Eugene’s voice.
“Me too, sorry.”
When Deer apologized in a young voice, Rasil, who suddenly felt like a sinner, let out a hollow laugh.
〈Wow… … .>
〈That’s why you need to know your place.〉
〈Hey, Eternal, what did you just say? A fountain?〉 〈Hehe, I didn’t like the way you were humming between the deer’s horns… You’ve come to a better conclusion.〉
〈Wow, woo woo… … .>
〈Now that cute horn is mine. Don’t look down on me anymore.〉
Eugene, who had been holding down the Eternal that was sticking out over his shoulder, looked up at Rasil and asked.
“Racil, have you seen the deer ‘cubs’?”
Even though there were many people in the workshop, if the deer was hiding in the emergency exit and trembling… that was a shocking thing to see.
〈I don’t know who those people are talking about, but if they’re talking about people with scary looks… I think that’s right.〉
“I’m sobbing because of Eternal’s teasing,” Rasil reported.
〈The people who harassed the deer. Even so, when other people from the workshop passed by, they listened to me, but after those people showed up… … .>
Before Rasil could finish telling what he had witnessed.
“… Gyaaaahhhhhhh!!” People’s screams could be heard from inside the emergency exit door, in the workshop.
