Episode 233 < My Legion. (3) >
5.
After waking up in my later life, I became indebted to Mr. Amethyst—not a noble with the title of viscount from the kingdom, nor a god who wields power in my last life, but a student from Shinseo Middle School who lives in [Side Story]. .
“Amethyst, you’re really good at cooking.”
“yes. “It’s thanks to the exact recipe.”
Amethyst, a student at Shinseo Middle School, slowly put down her tray. Her Uburqa helped her and served her the side dishes for her dinner.
Amethyst said while looking down at the table.
“Have you achieved what you wanted, Mr. Confucius?”
For a moment, I felt like I was rigid.
“yes?”
“This is what Mr. Confucius wanted.”
“…….”
Amethyst’s voice was like the sound a lone dandelion leaf makes when it falls to the ground. If she wasn’t careful, her voice would easily be caught in the summer wind and disappear somewhere.
“I’m a little worried about how Mr. Confucius is feeling.”
“… … “Are you concerned about me?”
“Yes, I was worried. As a homeowner. From the perspective of welcoming guests. But on top of that, I also feel genuine curiosity about Gongja Kim.”
“… … First, let me help you move the dishes.”
We cleared the table. The soup bowls and grilled fish on the tray were carefully arranged here and there on the table.
The stew bowl is in the center, and the bean sprouts and cucumbers are to the left. Back to the steamed egg.
While the food that would soon disappear into the stomach was being neatly arranged, my arm and Amethyst’s arm brushed.
How many times.
“What Mr. Confucius wanted.”
Amethyst said.
“…….”
“You said you met a different me, not the me here. That person is my origin. Maybe it’s God. That’s what I heard, Mr. Confucius.”
“yes.”
“Did Confucius achieve what he wanted?”
That was the first question Amethyst asked me earlier.
But this time, the question broke down and made a second bottom.
“What you wanted to get by even dying for me. purpose. “Did you get that?”
I was silent for a moment.
“yes.”
And then he opened his mouth.
“First of all, the goal is to find the owner of the tower, who you won’t be able to meet if you go up to the top… … Because it was a human-to-human encounter. If you look at it that way, I really achieved my goal. “I learned a lot about the person named Tapju.”
“okay.”
This student with a faint smile in front of me was not a nobleman with a colorful expression from some kingdom. But I knew that that faint smile was the smile this girl showed when she was happiest.
“You did a great job.”
“You really worked hard, Mr. Confucius.”
Before I knew it, Amethyst was holding both of my hands.
‘therefore.’
I felt the heat of the amethyst holding my hand tightly.
In conclusion, I couldn’t help but feel heavy.
‘So this is your essence.’
A being that cares.
A person who praises you when you do well and saddens you when you do poorly.
He is just a person born when he takes it to the extreme.
[May good luck be with you.]
To this man, all humans in the world are still children.
When my child goes outside, I tell him, “Be careful of cars!” or “Be careful of motorcycles!” out of fear that the child might become dangerous or wander off on a dangerous road. My heart is pounding with anxiety while my child does not return. But when you come back, just because you came back safely, they wrap your back and say [you did a good job] [you did a really good job].
[May good luck be with you.]
Have a safe trip.
[May good luck be with you.]
Be careful with your motorcycle on the way back.
[May good luck be with you.]
When climbing the floors, be careful not to be swallowed up by bad luck.
[May good luck be with you.]
Please come back safely.
“…….”
A god who wants to be everyone’s protector.
As I saw the avatar of the god before me, I smiled.
“Shall I show you what I gained from meeting the tower owner?”
Amethyst nodded.
“Mr. Confucius, do whatever you want.”
okay.
If this phrase is translated, it means [Do whatever you want].
At this level, you have accumulated a certain level of skill as a priest in interpreting the word of God.
“Okay then, please follow me for a moment. Let me show you… … .”
“ah. Sorry, but before that.”

Amethyst pointed to the table.
“Please eat first.”
“…….”
“If you don’t eat on time, your health will suffer. Mr. Confucius.”
indeed.
If we were to translate this, it would mean [eat and eat].
I smiled bitterly and obeyed God’s command.
6.
The place I was headed to was the backyard of an old hanok.
It was the so-called [warehouse where ghosts sleep].
I carefully, carefully, took one step at a time and opened the door to the warehouse.
“I never thought I would come back to this ghost lair… .”
I hung on the door and checked the inside of the warehouse.
Fortunately, there was no strange festival of demons or scenes that would drastically lower the SAN of those watching.
The warehouse was quiet. Just a bunch of junk peacefully taking in the dust.
“…Uh, is there anything?”
At that moment, meow! And something stuck to my foot.
“Hey!?”
“It’s a meow. “You are so surprised, Mr. Confucius.”
Amethyst lowered her head as if she was used to it and grabbed the stuffed dog that was clinging to my feet. Even while being moved, the dog doll kept saying “Nyaan! Nyang!” And it reminded her of her own existential problems.
“Hmm.”
I tried my best not to approach the stuffed dog.
“Is this child dead? So, for example, a dead vengeful spirit was captured in a doll?”
“No, Mr. Confucius. Meow is just a child who is forever worried about “who is he?” He’s just that kid.”
Amethyst spoke softly while hugging a puppy doll.
“I don’t think Meowth’s worries should stop or end.”
“Is it a web?”
Then the puppy doll jumped up and down.
-Nya! Meow, meow! Nyaoong!
Amethyst nodded.
“Meow says that if he stops worrying, the world will end.”
“…….”
indeed.
No, I don’t even know what part it is.
anyway.
“You mean this puppy doll is alive?”
“Of course. “Meow is alive, he will be alive, and if he dies, he will die when the world ends.”
“…….”
I am clearly the most dangerous dog on this planet… … cat… … A dog doll that makes cat sounds… … Ah, that’s it, I summoned the skill card right in front of Meowth.
“Summon a card.”
Paaaat!
+
[Skull of the phalanx dragon]
Rank: SSS+
Effect: Stores the memories of the living. Stored memories are placed in ‘boxes’. This box can only be destroyed by someone who possesses the skill.
As long as the box is not destroyed, you can produce a character’s body carrying the same memories over and over again. The body travels around the world
You can build new memories and ‘update’ these experiences back into the box. Of course, if you allow it!
Even if the character’s body is destroyed, the box will not take any damage. Give the privilege of immortality to those around you.
※However, the memories of the destroyed body cannot be updated in the box.
※This is a skill copied from the master of Mansaeng.

“Mr. Sujeong.”
“yes?”
Amethyst tilted her head. At the same time, the puppy doll was fluttering and crying for a long time, probably yawning.
What are you, cute with world-ending items?
“I was able to give [body] to that puppy doll.”
“…….”
Amethyst paused.
She still had an expressionless expression, but the color of her eyes became a little darker. Carefully. Quietly, I looked at where my skill card was.
“If it’s flesh… … ?”
“We can give these children a living body.”
“…….”
“How are you? Mr. Sujeong. “Would you please trust me and allow me to use my skills on children for once?”
Amethyst thought for a while.
Amethyst, a third-year Class A student at Shinseo Middle School who was born with only God’s mercy, not a noble of the kingdom, not the Sun King’s mistress, much less a tower owner, slowly opened her mouth.
“I am very, very grateful for that offer.”
She lowered her head.
“But I think these kids should think about it and decide for themselves.”
also.
“I would be happy if these children could get a living body and live a little more freely than they do now… … “Children may think differently.”
Peel off the skins of [Kingdom Noble], [Hero], and [Tower Owner] one by one.
After peeling it off, you can see the remaining pieces right in front of your eyes.
There were really only a handful of people named Amethyst.
“If possible, I want these children to make their own decisions.”
I nodded.
“yes. “I think that’s right, too.”
So, I doubted whether the strange creatures gathered in the [Ghost Warehouse] were really living things, but I went around asking the strange children one by one.
For example, I asked the mirror. It was a mirror that, when you looked at it, made you feel like a ghost was holding the back of your neck.
“uh… .”
Ugh.
As I was looking in the mirror from afar, I felt long fingers pressing down on my neck from left and right. It’s not an illusion. Coo, coo, coo! I could really feel every word of my fingers vividly.
I tried to erase it by activating an aura, but even the aura didn’t work.
I held out my skill card in front of the mirror.
“If you only wish… I can give you my body… .”
Coo wow?
“Of course, there are some conditions. First of all, your memories are stored in a box. And the box becomes my property… “When your body dies and you need to rebuild it, you need permission from me who owns the box.”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc.
“no! However, I have no intention of abusing it! really! After I save you, I will create something like an allied army of monsters and ghosts and conquer the world. I am the kind of person who will do that… .”
Woooooooo! Woooooo!
“Mr. Sujeong! Help! I don’t understand this baby joke! ”
Save me!
Confucius is killed by a ghost!
“You are very good at communication. Mr. Confucius.”
Amethyst expressed expressionless admiration.
“Other than me, this is the first person who can communicate with a mirror like that. “You are doing well.”
“No, don’t just praise me from such a distance! a little! “I feel like I’m going to fall, so please help me!”
“hmm.”
Amethyst walked up to the mirror and stroked its surface.
“Mirror. “The person I met, Mr. Confucius, is a very kind person.”
As soon as Amethyst started speaking, an unknown hand grabbed the back of my neck! has disappeared.
“Just looking at it from the outside, doesn’t that mean he’s a gisaeng brother? no. He is a very upright man, and he is strong enough not to let his upright mind go out. yes? Are you feeling bad because you’re old but your face value seems young? It’s like, yeah, I think that might be the case… .”
“….”
What do you mean by inorganic substances that cannot be contained in living things?
“But I’m not the kind of person who would take advantage of Mr. Mirror. Mr. Mirror’s body belongs to Mr. Mirror only. The decision whether to revive or destroy it is entirely up to Mr. Mirror. “You can trust Mr. Confucius on this part.”
The mirror trembled.
“yes? Do you think I particularly care for Mr. Confucius? no. I care about all of you. “Unfortunately, I don’t have that special feeling of favoritism.”
The mirror was twinkling.
“yes.”
Amethyst turned to me and spoke politely.
“I will accept the resurrection, but from now on, I will seek out a mirror-wiping butler who will be in charge of my exclusive use and keep it on hand, and the butler must be a dark-haired young man wearing a Victorian style and wearing a monocle.”
“…….”
“And if possible, I want you to have a strong British accent when speaking English. Also, if it’s really possible, I’d like to add some interesting background. For example, it would be nice to be the second son of a marquis family that has already become extinct.”
indeed.
Yes, this is indeed true.
“… … Just a little higher up our tower, there are two part-time workers at a cafe whose looks make everyone cringe. One has silver hair and the other has black hair. Even if you can’t cosplay as a butler because it’s too much, how about a part-time cafe worker costume? I want you… … So, I will treat you with a mirror provided in the cafe.”
Wait a minute here.
Why on earth am I desperately trying to convince a mirror that can only do so by grabbing people by the back of their necks? Shouldn’t I be A and he should be E?
There is only one reason.
‘Reduces the burden on tower owners.’
Yes.
I will reduce the lives burdened by the owner of the tower, one by one.
First, let’s save one of those incarnations, Amethyst, and the unknown life forms in the [Ghost Warehouse] that she carries on her back.
‘Because that’s the only way to beat the tower owner.’
As I was reflecting on my resolve, Amethyst, who was in charge of interpreting between humans and monsters, nodded.
“They say they will generously accept Mr. Confucius’s offer.”
after.
I collected the [unknown objects] one by one into the [phalangeal dragon skull].
The [box] containing the memories was small. A small, pitch-black box shaped like a cube.
As soon as I saw it, I had an idea of what to do, and with the image leading me, I opened my mouth and swallowed the box.
gulp.
Then, the box melted in my mouth, esophagus, and stomach, as if it had never had any shape in the first place.
“……..”
My heart became a little darker.
“Skull of a phalanx dinosaur.”
A bright light flashed in front of me.
[Activates the skill.]
A place where the light has faded.
There stood a mirror that looked no different from before.
“…….”
“…….”
Yes.
was standing
[Standing] with [legs].
“It’s a bridge.”
I
“It’s a bridge.”
Amethyst answered expressionlessly.
“Maybe that was the body that Mr. Mirror originally had.”
The four-legged mirror was excited and moved around the warehouse. Even if you were to hire a poet with the greatest rhetorical skills in his entire life, he would have decided what to say after seeing such a scene.
[cockroach].
A cockroach with a body like a mirror crawled around energetically.
“No, it’s just that… … .”
“thank you. Mr. Confucius.”
Amethyst said seriously.
“You really are a good person. Mr. Confucius.”
“…….”
He gave the rest of his body as a gift one by one.
As a result, the inside of the warehouse is a poodle that looks normal on the outside, but every time it opens its mouth, it shouts “Nyaaaa!” We got a howling meow, a painter who paints a portrait within a portrait, a red dragon that looks like something out of mythology, but fortunately is only the size of a 15cm figure, etc.
-What is it, Sibeol?
In the end, even Bae Hu-ryeong, who had been silent until now, had no choice but to say a word.
-This is complete bullshit.
“If you look at it in a good way, wouldn’t it be like a night trip with 100 ghosts? .”
-If curry tastes like poop, does that mean it’s curry? No matter what you call it, it’s shit. You shit seller.
“I don’t know how my life got so screwed up, but I think I know exactly when it started. Geomje. It’s been since I met you. Because of you, idiots, ghosts, and unidentified things from all over the world began to be attracted to me. Do you understand?”
-It’s funny and embarrassing. hey. If you hadn’t been sidetracked and followed my advice, you would have already reached the 100th floor of the tower, right? Approximately 10,000 people must have watched the journey and cheered.
What are you talking about?
I shook my head desperately.
“The reincarnation of a hundred ghosts.”
I started doing what I had to do.
[Activates the skill.]
Now that the lives of the tower’s incarnation had been taken away, it was time to finish my work.
“—-Did you call me, my lord?”
Faded blonde hair.
A monkfish with one side of its head covered by a bone mask. My vassal, once revered by the name of Esther and once feared as the devil, bowed down.
“crotch.”
“yes.”
“Live.”
The ghost raised its head and looked at my face.
I saw the eyes.
“… … “This is a body that killed many people.”
“Know.”
“I am a sinner.”
“Yes.”
“Is it okay for someone like me to live?”
I nodded.
“Live. Live and take on your life.”
“…….”
“I will be with you. “When you carry yourself, if you feel like you might fall, I will carry you.”
There was silence.
As for monkfish.
Slowly, very slowly, I opened my lips.
“yes.”
It was a watery voice.
“I will live.”
That was the beginning.
etc,
