Episode 195 < I didn't mean to do that. (3) >
3.
We are ready to enter the next floor.
In the last stage, everyone succeeded in the quest. So it became difficult to determine who was eliminated, but there was one colleague who volunteered to abstain.
“If you have to pick one person, let it be me.”
The person who raised his hand was a paladin.
I wondered if that was even necessary, but the paladin shook his head.
“Okay. Anyway, to create the Black Knight, you need to go down to the first floor. I don’t feel comfortable leaving the vigilante group empty for too long. And now I’m just saying… . I don’t necessarily want the Saegi tribe to take hegemony over the continent. “It is enough to make a living.”
She was like a woman who donated most of her earnings to orphanages.
“Hmm.”
The Black Dragon Master seemed to know something special.
“Is that really the only reason?”
“… … “What are you talking about?”
“just? “I thought it would be lonely if I was alone.”
The Black Dragon Master smiled like a cat sitting by a sunny window.
“Anyway, I’ll leave the establishment of the Black Knights to you. If there is a member of our guild who is bothering you, tell them [the cafe run by the witch is in the semi-basement level of the alley past the three-way intersection]. “If you ask what’s on the menu, just say [pumpkin latte without ice].”
“Is this the black dragon’s secret slogan?”
“Yes, off this month. “It probably hasn’t been renewed yet.”
“You still have unique tastes… .”
The paladin looked at me with a bitter smile.
“First of all, I’m sorry for leaving the strategy team. Death King. I’ll lay the foundation for the guild as well as you feel sorry for me. “By the day you clear the 40th floor and come back, it will already be ready.”
“hmm. “If you’re really sorry, could you do me a favor?”
“Of course. “Say it.”
“When this strategy is finished, please teach me that music.”
The paladin said, “Ah,” and narrowed his eyebrows.
“There was a story like that. “Did you say you wanted to tell it to Lord Ivansia?”
“yes. “When I confessed to Raviel, she promised to learn music and play it.”
“Good. “Jazz is love.”
The paladin smiled as if he was in a better mood.
“Since you have a lover who is more romantic than anyone else, you will naturally need music. “I don’t have the talent to teach others, but I’ll do my best.”
“Please take care of me at that time. teacher.”
“hmm.”
We shook hands.
“I leave it to you. Confucius.”
The paladin’s smile was eaten away by the light.
[The Paladin is eliminated from the stage!]
[The princess walking through the mirage settles the points.]
[You have earned 1510 race points!]
[Your current race points are 7112.]
The points held by the Paladin were distributed to us.
If we consider the tribe as children, this point is the so-called child support fee.
It would be better to use it for all races, not just designated races.
‘But what is urgent right now is not the safety of the species.’
I clenched my fists.
There is a child who has waited hundreds of years just to meet me.
‘Wait, Uburka.’
As I moved to the 35th floor, light enveloped my eyes.
‘Abby’s going now!’
4.
Immediately after descending into the era of the 35th floor.
I begged the Black Dragon Master to move with me.
“Quickly! “You just have to go to the highest mountain on the continent!”
“You mean… . “You’re not treating me like a taxi driver, are you?”
“I always respect you from the bottom of my heart!”
“If you can’t even say something… .”
The Black Dragon Master sighed but accepted my request. It was much faster to use the Black Dragon Master’s [Instantaneous Transfer] than to move around as a mental body.
“Is it over there?”
After crossing the sky for a while, using the clouds as stepping stones, a mountain range spread out beneath my feet. High mountain. The earth bent and folded, leaving traces in the world. The deeper we went, the more the peaks turned white.
“… … “I think it’s higher than the Himalayas.”
The Black Dragon Master looked around the mountain range with a shocked expression.
“Just looking at you makes me cold, kid. Is your apostle really here? “It doesn’t make sense in common sense.”
“The princess showed it to me briefly as an illusion.”
This area was certain.
I looked around.
“It must be nearby… .”
Suddenly, an ominous feeling came over me.
There is a gap of about 150 years between the last stage and this stage.
Perhaps Uburqa may not have survived more than 150 years.

“…….”
The core of my heart began to turn black. If so, the last chance to reunite with Uburka has been missed.
Wow.
When I thought of Uburka, who had endured alone for over 200 years, my teeth tightened.
‘……are you okay.’
I instinctively smoothed my jacket.
In his breast pocket was a handkerchief with the scent of green roses.
‘If circumstances arise, we can return.’
The two of us set foot on the snow peak. While thinking about how to get permission to return to Raviel, I searched the ridge with my own eyes.
Auras were scattered everywhere, but no life was detected.
“Death King.”
However, something caught my eye.
“excuse me… … .”
In the direction pointed by the Black Dragon Master’s finger, Mira was quietly sitting cross-legged.
“…….”
I stopped breathing.
The mummy was so dry that only the shell remained.
Like the dead body of a cicada that died and fell on the concrete floor in the middle of summer.
There was no sign of life on Mira’s skin.
‘You’re late.’
My heart was tightening.
‘I’m late.’
Mira’s face was heavily wrinkled. But I felt Uburka’s traces.
An infinitely calm expression.
The few remaining strands of hair were shaking in the snowstorm.
I couldn’t even bring myself to shed tears as my face became lighter after throwing away all the hardships of this world.
‘sorry… .’
The moment when I reached out my hand and stroked Uburka’s head.
“Abby?”
A familiar vibration permeated my ears.
I stopped reaching out and turned my head.
“Ugor.”
A voice that is strangely familiar with world affairs.
At any time, at any time, the sound of laughter in the corner of the heart was carried through the air of the snowy mountain.
“You really are Abby.”
Uburka stood tall on the pure white snow field.
A rugged mountain range continued beyond the child’s shoulders.
This was the highest altitude on the continent, so there would be no one else in the world who shared the same altitude as us.
“right,”
I opened my mouth.
“Uburqa… … ?”
“nice to meet. Three hundred and sixty-three years and seven months have passed, my father. “You came here with a nobleman you’ve never seen before.”
“oh my god.”
I looked at Uburka and Mira alternately as if possessed by a ghost.
“Uh, what happened? I thought you died and became a mummy… .”
“ah. “You mean that?”
Uburka walked towards the mummy with an indifferent expression.
“This is not a corpse, this is skin. Why, in order for a caterpillar to be reborn as a butterfly, it must first endure the prison of a cocoon. “This is my cocoon.”
Uburka tapped Mira with his large index finger.
Then the mummy regained her balance and slowly melted.
I opened my mouth wide as I watched the husk sinking into the snow.
“Huh, uh… ?”
“After immersing myself in meditation for 60 days, enlightenment came. Ugor. A dream-like scene emerged before her eyes, and as soon as she took her first step, she suddenly found herself living in a dream.”
Uburka was talking about a state I had never heard of.
“In that dream, I was born as the son of a prestigious martial family. However, I was born with a constitution that prevented me from using auras. Even though he was his eldest son, he was treated with all kinds of contempt and disregard because he could not use Aurors. Ugh, in the end, I won the position of head of the family through politics and intrigue.”
“Kku, it’s too detailed to be called a dream.”
“I think maybe that was my past life. Due to his poor health, he died at the age of 26. “When I woke up from the dream, my original body was falling off like skin.”
Uburka grinned, baring his fangs.
“Originally, I was planning on leaving it as is as a souvenir, but since Abby is back, it doesn’t matter. The evidence of waiting is kept only for the joy of meeting. “Now that we have met again, my waiting has already become joy.”
“Uburka… … .”
The tip of my nose wrinkled.
I can’t believe my child is growing up so beautifully.
“Death King.”
At that time, the Black Dragon Master hit my shoulder.
“It’s good to show off your arms to your heart’s content, but didn’t you notice something strange?”
“yes?”
“We’re not using any items right now.”
The Black Dragon Master was looking at Uburka with deeply sunken eyes.
“I didn’t use [animal possession] or [person possession]. It’s still in a mental state. The humans living in this world will never recognize us. “But how does that child recognize us so casually?”
ah.
Only then did I feel uncomfortable.
‘I know?’
In the mental state, no one can notice us. It is an iron rule that has been proven all the way from the 31st to the 34th floor. However, Uburka talked to me as if it were natural, and even recognized the existence of the Black Dragon Master.
Furthermore.
‘I searched the surroundings with aura earlier, but no life was detected.’
It was a strange thing.
I made eye contact with Uburka.
“Uburka. How could you… … .”
“Ugor.”
Uburka moved his neck up and down and left and right.
Pap-duk! The sound of bones coming together was loud.
“When I gained enlightenment and escaped this life, I began to see things that I couldn’t see before. The world is the ultimate other. “If I can recognize the world as one lump, I can also say that I have become a being comparable to the world.”
“Uh huh.”
What is this kid talking about?
My brain has a tendency to stutter once difficult words are entered. I did not understand a word of what Uburka said.
“Hey. “What are you talking about?”
“To put it simply, this is what it means. “Abby.”
Uburka snapped his fingers.
[The constellation ‘Muscle Pig Who Dreams of Invincibility’ is looking at you.]
what?
[The constellation ‘Muscle Pig Who Dreams of Invincibility’ is happy to be reunited with you!]
oh my god.
I looked blankly at Uburka.
It felt like someone had hit my head with a shovel.
“You, you… … .”
“There are truly many mysterious principles in all things.”
The smile on Uburka’s lips became even brighter as he looked at me.
“Looking at Abby’s bewildered face, I can’t help but think that I trained hard and did well. What is it like? As far as I know, there is no one on this earth who has achieved a higher level than me. “He has become the greatest warrior of all time, both in name and reality.”
“no… … .”
To ascend to the constellation in the body of a hobgoblin.
I knew he was a genius, but I never thought it would be like this.
“By the way, Abby.”
The son who became a constellation laughed heartily.
“You can always tell your story later. Today is the auspicious day when our father and son met again. “Shouldn’t we share the sorrow of three hundred and fifty years with each other?”
“Ahhh. OK. “You are right.”
For me, not much has passed, but for Uburka, it has been a long, long time.
The joy that parents and children must share when meeting each other for the first time in a long time should be expressed through gestures, not conversations like this.
I opened my arms wide.
“Come here, Uburka. Even though I am small compared to you, I will happily hug you… … .”
“Ugor. “Then I will go without hesitation.”
[The constellation ‘Muscle Pig Who Dreams of Invincibility’ challenges you to a duel!]
huh?
“Be prepared. “Abby.”
Uburka clenched his fists with both hands.
“I’ve been waiting so long for a day like today to come!”
And then he rushed towards me.
As Uburka took a step, the mountain range shook. The snow field on the snow peak collapsed and poured down, and the wind direction of the blizzard changed and soared into the sky.
“Now, wait a minute. Son. “Wait a moment—.”
“Three hundred and fifty years ago we were defeated in an ugly way, but today it will be different!”
Uburka issued his first sword.
[The constellation ‘Muscle Pig Who Dreams of Invincibility’ roars.]
At that moment, heaven and earth shook.
