Episode 206 < Easter egg. (2) >
3.
“indeed. “There was a minor misunderstanding.”
Raviel nodded after hearing my desperate explanation.
Fast food restaurant.
I wanted to go into a cafe whenever possible, but the era of [Side Story] was still in the past. There is still a long way to go before cafes are mushrooming across the country. Unfortunately, there were not many places where you could freely go and have a conversation.
“but. There is no way you would leave me and turn your attention to someone else. It would be more plausible to hear that the universe has given up on the laws of physics. “Someone of my age got emotional for a moment.”
“no. I’m so glad you trusted me… .”
Honestly, I thought the world was falling apart.
“hmm. From what I saw, the Black Dragon Master was a capable person. Even if he had been born in the Empire, he would have been raised as a nobleman. He behaved wisely, as he came to form a true friendship with such a person. He has a blessing for you. of course… … .”
Raviel looked out of the corner of her eye through the front window of the store.
“I didn’t expect you to come back with a goblin as your child.”
Outside the window, Uburka was with his arms crossed and his back turned.
Although there was a giant hobgoblin in the middle of a modern city, passers-by didn’t seem to notice anything unusual.
Some people were surprised by Uburka’s enormous size, but no one recognized him as a hobgoblin.
“Has a perception-altering spell been cast on us?”
“maybe.”
Fluffy.
When Raviel shook the cola glass, the ice in the cup collided.
“The attire I wear here is quite heterogeneous. It’s normal to be visible. But although there are many people who steal glances at my face, no one pays attention to my clothes.”
Raviel wore an imperial dress. However, when the store clerk saw us earlier, he didn’t react at all to our clothes.
Even though Raviel’s out-of-this-world beauty caused an earthquake in my pupils.
“The conclusion is clear. In their eyes, we all appear to be wearing ordinary clothes.”
“A world-wide perception change… . “It’s too much.”
“It would mean that the being who takes care of your convenience is omnipotent. “You have a knack for being liked by those in power, Confucius.”
“haha.”
When I glance around, I see that all the customers in the store are glancing at Raviel. Her attire is subject to cognitive modulation, but is her appearance an exception?
If it were the era when smartphones were developed, people might have secretly taken pictures of us.
“Then bring me the boy you consider your son.”
“Would it be okay?”
“okay. Even if they are not your biological children, it is a relationship you formed in your heart. Do you know anything? “I wonder if he will like me and be recognized as a member of the Ivansia Duke family.”
It is rare for Raviel to grant favors to others.
I quickly brought Uburka before the Duke changed his mind.
“…….”
Uburka sat down on a chair, one on his left hip and one on his right. And with his arms still crossed, he looked down at Raviel, who was much shorter than him.
“…….”
“…….”
Silence followed.
what.
What am I most nervous about, being caught in the middle?
“… … “Silver hair that mocks the moon and red eyes that mock zinnia.”
In the end, it was Uburka who spoke first.
“Looking at it now, its appearance reminds me of someone I heard about in legend. Ugh. Are you Raviel Ivansia?”
“Ohh. Contrary to what it looks like, it is reciting Pungwol.”
“I just remembered what I heard from Abby.”
“Is Confucius talking about my story in your world too?”
“Abby created five traditions. The fourth legend is about you, Raviel Ivansia. Silver lily. The moon whose heart was stolen by a mirror. “If you are a designated tribe, I can’t not know you unless I know you.”
“Hmm.”
Raviel lifted the corner of her mouth. She seemed to be feeling a little better. Raviel grabbed the thin straw and slowly stirred the cola.
“I heard it was a constellation.”
“Ugor.”
“I too was once a constellation. Even though it wasn’t what I wanted, I wasn’t displeased with the fact that the world revolved around me. You are on a different level from ordinary humans. “Is there really nothing wrong with having Confucius as your father?”
“It’s a rumor. Even when her father was an immature beast, she already tried to fulfill her duties as a parent. “Relationships do not arise when you match the status, but when you throw away the status.”
“Don’t you care about your own dignity?”
“Ugh. Dignity comes from qualifications. Abby deserves it. On the contrary, I don’t know who else but Abby would be qualified to be honored by our designated tribe.”
“Uhm ”
Raviel nodded once.
When I see her and I being in love, that’s definitely a sign that I’m in a good mood.
Rather, Uburka, why does this guy act like a kid when I’m with him, but act like an adult in front of Raviel? Is he discriminating against his father now? It’s sad. I’m sad. This is why raising a son is useless.
“How was the first meeting with Confucius…?” .”
“Ugor, during the war with the Slime Empire… .”
Soon the two began talking amicably. Just leave me out.
I felt sad as I was neglected by my wife and children.
Is this the sadness of the wild goose father? .
‘huh?’
As I was looking at the scenery beyond the window with nowhere to turn, the profile of a passerby suddenly caught my eye.
When I saw the passerby, I felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
“……?”

The reason my attention was initially caught was because of the passerby’s clothing.
Shinseo Middle and High School uniform.
Especially middle school.
Among the guys who bullied Kim Yul was a middle school student. Regardless of man or woman. I think that’s probably why it caught my eye, even if only for a moment.
‘He’s never appeared in a video before.’
What is this déjà vu?
As I strengthened my eyesight with aura and looked around, I noticed awkward spots on the passers-by one by one.
First the hair.
‘blond hair.’
It is not a dyed color, but a natural hair color.
Every time a passerby walked down the street, her long blonde hair swayed.
I thought he might be a foreigner, but considering that he was wearing the school uniform of Shinseo Middle and High School, the possibility was slim.
‘In the stained school uniform… … The briefcase?’
The passerby was not carrying a student bag.
I walked politely, holding a briefcase that only office workers would carry with both hands. The briefcase was very old and worn. The leather on the edges of the bag had all peeled off. It is safe to say that it is already a scrap product.
The last thing I noticed was:
‘The gait is constant.’
There is no wavering in the stride.
That fact accounted for half of the unidentifiable feeling of déjà vu.
‘The stride length and speed remain exactly the same.’
It would have been difficult if you had not trained your body movements to a significant degree. However, to passers-by, there was no sign that he had done any ordinary exercise, let alone the aura of an Auror. He was, on the contrary, overwhelmingly weak physically compared to his peers.
A passerby slowly passed by the window of a fast food restaurant.
For a moment, our eyes met.
“…….”
Time seemed to slow down.
No, my time did not slow down.
The passerby was completely expressionless. It was as if he was born with an expressionless face, which suited passersby. And the expressionless face had perfect sculpting.
pupil.
The eyes were infinitely transparent.
The world was in the middle of summer. However, the passerby’s eyes did not mix with the sweltering heat on the street or the nervous sighs of other people. There was transparency that did not allow any impurities.
Baaaa-
A horn rang somewhere.
The traffic light blinked at the crossing.
Even the time at the three-way intersection where the red light changed to yellow had nothing to do with the eyes of the passers-by. She was walking at different times.
Same rhythm. Exactly the same stride length. Some absolute sameness walked sideways through the world.
[Walking] is probably an action that proves that one belongs to this world.
But it wasn’t a passerby. Humans have been able to reject the world several times just by walking. One step at a time. Twice in two steps. Three steps. Four steps… … .
eternally.
“Confucius?”
Before I knew it, I was standing up from my seat without even realizing it.
“What’s going on?”
“sorry.”
Raviel and Uburka stopped talking and were looking at me.
“Please wait here. for a moment. “I’m going to go somewhere.”
While I apologized to the two people, I checked the back of the passerby who was now walking away.
“I’ll leave the aura behind, so you can follow me if you want. “Uburka will be able to easily chase you down.”
“Abby?”
“Son. “Escort Raviel.”
Having said that, I hurriedly ran out of the fast food restaurant.
‘Where did it go?’
A pedestrian was crossing the crosswalk. Even though the traffic light had only recently changed to blue, it was already blinking, urging people on.
Baaaaang-
There were few people on a midsummer day. There was only one pedestrian crossing the crossing. Even though the light was still blue, drivers ignored the signal. Cars passed in front and behind pedestrians.
‘when? ‘Where did you see this?’
I chased after him.
‘When you attended Shinseo High School?’
A passerby walked down an alley.
‘no. There’s no way I could have forgotten a student with steps like that. If you’ve seen it even once, you’ll definitely remember it.’
The street trees cast a blue shadow on the street.
‘It’s definitely my first time seeing this face. But why… … .’
The summer sunlight was scorching white.
The line between shade and non-shade was clear. As the passerby entered under the shade, the season seemed to be moving away like a mirage.
Maaeaeam-
The cicadas cried.
‘Who are you?’
Pop.
A passerby stopped in the middle of the shadows.
I also had no choice but to stop.
“…….”
The passerby slowly turned his back.
I felt an invisible pull.
Even for the brief moment when a passerby turned around, time slowed down. Breathing stopped and thinking accelerated.
Fragments of memories flowed as time slowed down.
“I want to know how the tower is built.”
Before entering the 35th floor. The paladin asked.
“You just have to live the life of the most unfortunate person in the world.”
The princess’s voice answered.
“There is an owner who built the tower.”
“The owner lives the life of the most unfortunate person in the world.”
“The world where the tower was built is a place where the owner already lived and passed by. “The world where the tower has not been built is a place where the owner has not yet visited.”
When the passerby turned halfway, the tip of my nose felt itchy.
There was some kind of scent.
It was a scent I knew.
“I’m going to school a little early today.”
Kim Yul.
“I have to go to the farm and feed the rabbits.”
The smell of old feed piled up in one corner of the warehouse.
“Anyway, there is no breeding department anymore. The middle school class presidents take turns in charge of the kennel… There’s no way middle school students can faithfully stick to something like this, right? “The security guard and I.”
“Some kid in middle school.”
“We feed the three of us almost like this.”
A tower was built in our world.
If what the princess said is true, it means that the owner of the tower “lived” in our world at some point.
On behalf of someone’s most unfortunate life.
In that case, there must have been someone here who was judged to be more unfortunate than Kim Yul.
“Kim Gongja.”
For some reason.
One word that the class leader said to me flashed through my mind.
“Shinseo Middle and High School’s second-generation bullies and all, you gave me that name while giggling.”
A passerby looked at me.
I was standing under the summer. A passerby was stepping in the shadows.
There was a gap.
There was a gap.
Only the loud cicadas’ cries filled the space between us.
“—Who are you?”
An emotionless sound.
It was only when the passerby opened his lips that I realized the true nature of the deja vu.
Because it was a voice that only I heard in the tower.
“If possible.”
“…….”
“Please tell me why you are following me.”
Tower owner.
The master of all life looked at me.
