SSS-Class Suicide Hunter Chapter 262

Episode 262 < Iconoclasm. (2) >

“Just find out as much as you can.”

I spoke confidently to the princess.

“No, I’d like to ask you to understand. You’re going to play a video in their heads of everything I’ve done for the Scheduled Tribe? My God, you can’t be this kind.”

“Confucius Kim…?”

While other colleagues were still hesitant, my answer came out surprisingly refreshingly.

As if he had been waiting for the opportunity to say this.

“We may not be able to say that we raised the best race, but we did our best to raise the race. Ah, I will say this without a stain in my heart. Don’t you?”

“…….”

“Anastasia. What are you hesitating about? Are you worried that they will be so shocked when they see our bare faces? Are you that they will despair, feel sad, and turn away when they realize that we are just like them?”

Anastasia didn’t answer. But her eyes. There was obvious anxiety in my friend’s black eyes.

Anxiety murmured in Anastasia’s eyes.

『What if you are disappointed in me?』

『If you complain, swear, and curse, saying that people like you were fake gods.』

『Then what should we do?』

It was a pressing concern.

I nodded slowly.

“of course… … “Of course you are anxious.”

Parents know everything about their children.

Therefore, when you say that you love someone, you can love them without a single doubt.

On the other hand, what about children?

Children don’t know almost everything about their parents.

Children are born only when their parents are now fully grown adults. Children do not know what their parents did before, where they were born, what kind of people they were in their hometown, and how they felt when they left their hometown.

I don’t even want to know.

Parents show their children only the sides they want to show. By using gestures that have already become somewhat mature. With a smile. As he strokes the children’s foreheads, he becomes a great angel to these young children and reigns over them.

“But, Anastasia. Please look straight at my face.”

“…….”

I stood up and made eye level with Anastasia. Because she was shorter than me, I had no choice but to look into Anastasia’s eyes while kneeling near her.

“What about the director who raised me… … You’ve done so much to raise us. “How difficult must it have been to run an orphanage back then?”

I told my story.

In a deliberately light tone, as if it was no big deal.

“When my grandfather, who was in charge of a district office, died, he went to the funeral dressed all in black, unbecoming a director. He had nothing to do with us, and he wasn’t really close to the director. When it comes to congratulations and condolences that take place in the city, you must go to all of them and show your face. certainly. Well, it’s an eye stamp. “In our country, this kind of recognition is very important.”

“…….”

“If the district office tells me there is an event, I go right away. There is a mountain of work to be done at the orphanage, but if you have to come out, you have to go. Even if it was a district office event, there were vendors lined up on the streets, asking if they wanted to buy colorful pottery, if they needed succulent flower pots, or if they didn’t like handmade wallets, and created a market for themselves. These are all stores that were established with support from the district office. Are they called alley stores or something? “I’m trying to save it.”

“…….”

“When the director goes there, he hangs out with the district mayor and always buys three gifts. [The work is so pretty]. He is usually a person who is busy trying to save even 10,000 won… . “I spend money carelessly, whether it’s 30,000 won or 20,000 won.”

I closed my eyes.

That day, I was secretly following the director from afar. The Botdari Alley business seemed to be some kind of festival, with colorful masks being sold. I put on a mask and pretended to be a child moving around with the adults nearby, and took a quick peek at the director walking around with the district mayor.

-No, Commissioner. How did you create such a pretty piece? Hey, only famous people gathered on the streets here. It’s a famous street. I think this is one more thing for our district to be proud of. I think kids will love it too… … .

The director’s face, voice, and tone were completely different from when he dealt with us at the orphanage. If other children besides me had seen the director now, they would have received the shock of a lifetime. For us, the director was someone who was always a bit far away, someone we could always visit and see, but for some reason, he was surrounded by an unknown fog.

-So, these are all handmade products, right? Can I entrust the orphanage classes to the people who made this?

-hmm? If it’s an orphanage class… … .

-yes. I am the director, and all the children are good. He’s nice, but there’s not enough things to play with or learn from. I think it would be good for children’s character education if this class on making succulent pots were held once a week… … . Wouldn’t it be rewarding for you, too? A workshop street created with support from city hall and the district. Those workshop streets now teach lessons to local children… … . The picture is pretty, right?

-Hmm. Tuition fee then…

-Oh, it would be great if the district office would support me. Then, it will be a project completely led by the district office. Officer in charge? Don’t you know, Minister of Charge? Our orphanage is very clean. Whether it’s personnel issues or anything else, this place has the cleanest accounting around here. Do you think it would be easy to work with?

-… … Director Lee’s orphanage is famous for being an easy place to work. There is no need for documents. I have never violated document format or deadlines.

-Hmm.

A middle-aged gentleman whose name I don’t know, whose face I don’t know, and who I’ll probably never know, nodded.

-Then, let the officer in charge take charge of the work. I’ll take care of it and guide you in that direction… . If only the director takes care of this place, it might look a little strange. Oh, kindergartens. Don’t you think kindergarteners will enjoy playing with sand and dirt? Take a pottery class or a handicraft class to find out.

-all right.

-thank you! Commissioner! Not only does it make the streets prettier, but it also makes people’s hearts prettier. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to have someone like you come to work when I’m working.

-haha. Our director is very eloquent.

The group surrounding the commissioner grew further and further apart. I had to chase after it, but I didn’t have the energy to walk. It was an enormous shock to see the director’s bare face.

‘I’m embarrassed.’

The director at that time was my parent. He was something higher than his parents. He was a teacher to all of us, a counselor who gave advice whenever difficult situations arose, and a castle lord who wisely ruled the closed world of the orphanage.

Whenever we fell asleep, the director vividly told us stories from thousands of years ago, and we inherited the entire legacy from his voice, tone, and facial expressions. Grow to a continental scale. Always remain calm. Be rational. Above all, be angry at injustice… … .

To us young people, how could the director not be a god?

‘It is embarrassing.’

I found out what kind of face the director walks around in [the outside world] and what kind of tone he speaks. The Abbot was not our kind and wise god. The director just… … When I saw it from afar, when I was talking to the commissioner or the officer in charge… … He was just an old man.

mister.

An ordinary man.

“…….”

I opened my eyes.

Is it because of the strange silence?

Anastasia said nothing and was looking at my face. The Inquisitor, the Count, and the Paladin also looked in my direction. I nodded once and spoke quietly to them.

“What if I try to embarrass you a bit?”

“…….”

“Because I’m young. You’re young. When you’re young, you may feel enormous shame when you realize that your gods were actually ordinary humans. ah. The person who gave us prophecies in a wonderful voice… … Actually, he was just a person who knew how to use aurors. I thought he would look after us and take care of us by some great miracle, but since they are all human, they run around and work hard in places we can’t see… … .”

One day.

A free class on making succulent pots was held at an orphanage.

The children were tired of cross-stitch and Carry Culture, but they found playing with clay and making dishes surprisingly novel. Every time a class was held, as many as 15 people came together to touch the dirt.

The pottery teacher was kind, and the children had fun.

I did not attend.

I felt somehow ashamed to attend that event. I felt like I was committing some kind of strong disloyalty to the director.

And I spent my life as an aborigine in silence, without telling anyone what I had seen.

“If you look at our true selves… It might be a bit embarrassing, though. “Maybe so.”

I recalled the burns from my childhood and spoke to my current colleagues.

“That’s it.”

“…….”

“As time passes and the children are able to accept it, they will eventually accept the fact that we worked hard and worked hard for them. “They will understand that we are all human beings.”

“Okay… … peel? really?”

Anastasia hesitated.

“I heard that such a thing is difficult even between ordinary parents and children. However, if, like us, there is a relationship between God and the species… … .”

“are you okay. “We are by no means ordinary parents, and we have by no means raised ordinary children.”

In the hologram, the monster had collapsed, having already shrunk to the point where it was reduced to the size of a rather large mammoth beast.

Next to the monster, hundreds of thousands of races cheered and held a colorful Auror festival. They endured the disaster without any damage, and achieved complete success by directing everything themselves. Everyone was happy about that fact, regardless of race.

‘okay.’

We are not ordinary parents and children.

“Anastasia. “We are a group of only the best humans among those who entered the tower.”

“…….”

“And our children are, quite frankly, just, much better than the humans of our world. There’s no reason why things shouldn’t work out.”

I looked away from the hologram.

And I spoke coolly to [The Princess Walking in a Mirage].

“Tell the kids everything.”

“… … really? really? “Don’t you need to worry any more?”

“What are you worried about? I don’t think there’s anyone who can raise them with as much aptitude as me. To put it bluntly, whether I was a god, a human, or some kind of alien monster with a hundred tentacles, they would accept me. “Please tell the truth to the designated tribe right now.”

“wow. After all, he is Death King. “I don’t hate that overflowing confidence.”

The princess looked back at her other colleagues.

“What about the other kids? Do the other kids have the same opinion as Death King?”

“…….”

“Because you all started attacking the 31st floor together. If even one of these people opposes, I will be in an awkward position. what. Only those who voted against will be restricted from moving beyond the 40th floor… .”

“I will.”

Anastasia opened her lips.

There was already determination on her face.

“I will do it. Whether the kids despise me or not, that’s up to them. If you don’t like it and can’t do it, just abstain from choosing a race from the beginning. We’ve already come this far, but the idea of ​​raising our children forever… … It’s simply my greed. “Please tell the vampires the truth.”

“ah. “I agree too!”

The Heretic Questioner raised his hand.

“I did my best to raise the Sanwa family! Ah haha. My best may be a little different from other people’s best, but compared to parents who don’t even try their best, wouldn’t they be on the superior side? hmm! When the Sanwa people learn the truth, they will definitely think highly of me. “Please tell the truth to the Sanwa people!”

“… … “Let alone our innocent psychopaths.”

The paladin sighed.

“Children have the right to know about their parents. This is even more true if you are a fully grown child. It is safe to say that the races living on that continent have now entered a period of maturity. “Let the Saegi people know the truth.”

“…Umm, ummm.”

The Count was worried. As he washed his face with his cat hand several times, he moaned, mmm, mmm. But after five minutes, the count finally made up his mind.

“Well, that’s enough! Anyway, didn’t you make sure I didn’t starve? When I think about how many people starve to death in this world, I feel like I have done a favor to the fairies. Once you’re born as a fairy, don’t you basically live in the upper middle class? Auror and all, this is the biggest scam. “I am proud!”

“Does the Count agree?”

“I agree. “Show the fairies the truth!”

The princess walking through the mirage laughed.

“really. Cute kids. We can’t keep showing favoritism like this… . Well, what do you know?”

match!

The princess clapped her hands.

“The Venomous Snake and Sword Saint who are still on the stage also agreed to disclose information. Since all 7 people who participated in the strategy voted in favor, I will disclose the information to all races under administrator authority!”

[The Heretic Questioner’s information will be revealed to all Sanwa tribe members!]

That moment.

A mumbling sound began to come from the other side of the hologram.

-Lime?

-What is this, Raimu… ? hallucination?

-No, it’s not a group hallucination because we still can’t communicate… .

The first tribe to react was the Sanwa tribe.

While carrying the wrinkled snail’s nest on their backs and dismantling the wooden stairs and tools that were no longer useful, the Sanwa people started shaking their antennae, saying something was strange.

As the princess walking through the mirage had predicted, [our strategy team’s video] was automatically played to them.

-… … tower? Attack?

-Our great puppy, what the hell is this… … .

But the confusion showed no signs of abating.

Rather, I pressed the accelerator pedal all the way.

[The Black Dragon Master’s information will be revealed to all vampires!]

The bats hanging on the branches of the palm trees in the jungle asked ‘Ki?’ ‘Coo?’ He nodded. The stairs built on top of the monster’s body were buzzing, and countless leaves of the jungle were wandering around.

[The Paladin’s information will be revealed to all members of the Saegi clan!]

The Saegi people, who were transporting food, drinks, and bedding for hundreds of thousands of people to ships, flinched. Spray swirled as their tails flapped, and several boats tilted due to their suddenly violent driving.

Is that all there is?

-What is this!

-You, you too, what is happening right before your eyes?

-We too… … Didn’t this guy, a dragon or something, spit out a curse for the last time and die?

-no. Just now clearly in my mind… I heard a voice. This is the truth about the great red dolphin. Unless some devil is trying to trick us… … .

-Ugor? Why are you guys like this all of a sudden?

The jungle area and the entire world began to shake. Wherever a tribe lives and builds a home, there is always commotion. village. Town. city. Right here, where almost all the warriors had gathered, to the Dragon’s Tomb.

[The Count’s information will be revealed to all fairies!]

[Information on the poisonous snake will be revealed to all noble families!]

[Information on the Sword Saint will be revealed to all pure races!]

and.

[Death King’s information will be revealed to all designated tribes!]

The moment that had to come someday happened right now.
