Episode 317 < The time front between two people. (1) >
One.
[Congratulations.]
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■ is your constellation.]
[You are the only believer of ■■■■ ■■ ■■■.]
I feel like I had a dream.
Someone else’s dream, not mine.
-…….
The dream seemed both long and short, so the flow of my time was disorganized. It was as if I was standing in the middle of a stream, with the stream flowing around the right and left sides of my waist, each flowing at a different speed.
The feeling of being consumed by time.
-hmm.
Tick.
A day has passed.
Or, it felt like a day had passed.
-I think this is messed up.
‘yes?’
-no. It’s no use talking now. I too am ruled under the authority. For example, if I try to say something now, your memory will be distorted, and surprisingly, it will also be distorted for me.
‘… … ‘What are you talking about?’
-It tells us a very obvious truth about life that even words are often useless. It’s a zombie. By informing you that you have changed from a physical zombie to a temporal zombie.
What are you talking about?
-What should I do with this? It’s pretty nasty.
Bae Hu-ryeong muttered expressionlessly.
-If it’s just a memory distortion, there are so many ways to deal with it. This probably means [world manipulation]. Indeed, from the 60th floor onwards, there are a lot of perverted idiots. It’s worth lamenting why you’ve become a pervert, but if you think about it, it’s worth it. Kim Zombie This bastard has all the qualities that would make perverts in the world drool over him.
‘… … So what are you really saying?’
-What should I do?
Bae Hu-ryeong’s eyes sank.
Ignoring my question, Bae Hu-ryeong lost himself in his own world.
-What should I do to stop this nasty starling?
That moment.
“Confucius?”
A very familiar voice gently grabbed my ear and guided me. When I naturally turned my head as the voice guided me, I saw the [absolutely adorable] boy tilting his head.
“Are you worried about something…?” ?”
“ah.”
An anxious look. An anxious look.
The boy’s every expression and eye movement, perhaps even his very being, was shaking like a candle.
I wanted to protect that delicate and sad thing.
“it’s nothing. but… … .”
-hey. Don’t ever talk about me. Let’s test it and see what happens.
“… … However, I just lost my mind.”
My mouth felt stuffy. Having to lie to this innocent boy, having to hide something from him, my [one and only constellation] and [one and only God], gave me a feeling of guilt so deep that it was hard to imagine.
“Hmm.”
The boy smiled.
“is it so? Confucius, you think a lot.”
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■.]
“I think having a lot of thoughts is a sign of a kind person. I am.”
As he said that, the boy leaned his head on my forearm. Smell. A nice scent filled my nose. I don’t know why, but it’s a scent I really like… It’s a greenish, green scent that I’ve smelled before, not here, but somewhere, from someone else.
-hmm.
As I was enjoying the happy moment, Bae Hu-ryeong spoke to me for the first time in a few days.
-I think this is messed up.
‘yes?’
-no. It’s no use talking now. I too am ruled under the authority. For example, if I try to say something now, your memory will be distorted, and surprisingly, it will also be distorted for me.
‘… … ‘What are you talking about?’
-Is this your first time hearing what I said?
What are you talking about?
‘I knew you weren’t sane to begin with, but you’ve never been so strange as you were today. Have you ever missed Mr. Gray Spider? Geomje nobleman. They say loneliness is an incurable disease.’
-good. f*ck. very good.
Bae Hu-ryeong grinned at the end of his mouth.
-Even though he doesn’t know what I said, he has the ability to unconditionally erase [memories or events that interfere with his powers]. It’s definitely true. It is a five-star level constellation.
“……?”
-ah. I’m begging you, but I’d like to ask you to make some facial expressions. Our zombie would probably have been a theater actor if he hadn’t become a hunter. Would I be expecting too much from you if I asked you for the small miracle of not showing it to your face no matter what I say? Have I had too high expectations of the world?
‘… … ‘I feel really bad, but I’ll give you a miracle first.’
-Thank you.
Tick.
A day has passed.
“We have finally defeated all the remnants of the Blood Demon Cult. Confucius!”
The boy was happy.
“Could it be that the Gwangmagyo, White Demon, and Shinmagyo were connected behind the scenes with the Blood Demon? And the final boss called Cheonma (天魔) was hidden as the leader of your forces! “I can’t forgive you!”
“Because, to Confucius, the title Cheonma is more than just a name. Confucius, you really can’t forgive, right?”

Yes.
I am currently traveling to the 61st floor with a boy.
Already, it feels like a week has gone by in an instant.
“How dare you call the Demon Cult an unreasonable name in four places, and even use the name of the Heavenly Demon indiscriminately. “They are vicious bastards!”
In the meantime, we have been defeating false demonic religions.
The blood demon was defeated and the cult that kidnapped the boy was destroyed. As he rescued the boy, he learned several things. That he is a constellation that has lost its power. There is not even a single believer who believes in him, so he is in danger of disappearing at any moment.
『I will become your believer.』
I told you so.
The boy cried and fell into my arms. He said he too would become my own constellation. Even though he has no power, he says he will create a quest just for Confucius. So, let’s cheer up until the day he climbs to the 100th floor alone.
『We promised each other to be together for the rest of our lives.』
Apparently, it was.
『One hunter and one constellation.』
This is a story just for the two of us.
-flaw.
Bae Hu-ryeong laughed happily for some reason.
-That’s crazy. This is why a five-star constellation like Hamustra is in charge of the beginner stage. He’s the same pervert, but at least he doesn’t think of the world as his property. In fact, it is natural, but there is no constellation that satisfies this naturalness. Think about it. If you don’t have any talent, how can you trust someone like Hamustra to guide newbies?
Local broadcasting is terrible.
“Ego! Confucius, let’s get going!”
The boy crossed his arms and smiled brightly.
“This time it’s a quest to defeat the White Demons! “My only believer!”
I smiled.
“Yes, let’s go right away. “My God.”
-I’m just asking because I’m curious. If I tell you that the exchange you two just had looked very Eva Tuna to me, will this also be subject to global censorship?
[■■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■.]
‘huh? ‘What did you just say?’
-It’s caught. f*ck you. Look how childish this kid is.
We continued our trip.
The White Devils were lawless villains.
First file every month. The White Demon Church went down to the twelve worlds they had colonized and gathered three hundred children. It was an offering to be offered as a human sacrifice. They sacrificed the lives of their children to build up their skills, and this accumulated skills were called magic skills.
I was angry.
『Because it is an evil that the Death King cannot tolerate.』
Tick.
A day passed.
『Death King had no hesitation in tolerating the false demonic cultists. By Death King’s standards, they were so clearly evil. There was no need to consider the other person’s circumstances. There was no need to consider the past. There was no need to even understand my feelings. All I had to do was simply swing the sword without any thought.』
Tick.
A day passed.
『A fight where you don’t have to give up yourself. How enjoyable is a good fight even if you don’t accept others? How enjoyable. How happy I am. Maybe Death King just forgot himself and was thirsty for fighting for a long time.』
Tick.
A day passed.
-Okay, if you come across as childish, I’ll be childish too.
As each day passed, I heard a ticking sound somewhere. It was just a sound that would quickly fade into oblivion. It sounded like the second hand of a clock moving, or the sound of someone tapping a typewriter with their fingers freely.
-I don’t expect much from you. It’s a zombie.
Just like playing the piano keys.
-But just do this one thing.
‘ah. What is it again?’
-Every morning, I will recite a sentence to you. Just don’t forget these sentences. Don’t worry. Because it’s not a sentence that threatens your cute god. It’s not a sentence that shakes the world, it’s just a sentence with no meaning.
‘… … In short, it’s nonsense.’
-OK. That’s nonsense.
Bae Hu-ryeong smiled.
His eyes were not looking at me, but at someone else, over my shoulder, and glaring into space.
-Well, that’s just one sentence a day. It’s useless nonsense. That’s all you can remember, right?
‘Let’s talk about it first.’
-This year is going to be a big hit because we have a good harvest.
‘…….’
It’s really 100% nonsense, right?
If you squeeze it, it seems like the juice will flow out.
-Remember.
But Bae Hu-ryeong’s face was very serious.
-If you forget to eat, you will lose weight.
‘… … Is there any point to this beyond dedicating part of my life to disk defragmentation?’
-Before you throw your whole life in the trash can, remember, asshole. One sentence a day. I won’t say anything more today, so please listen.
‘hmm.’
It was rare for Bae Hu-ryeong to beg like that.
The expression on his face is so terrifying that I am slightly overwhelmed by the atmosphere.
I sighed.
‘all right. okay. ‘You just have to remember a little bit.’
Tick.
A day passed.
As the day went by and dawn came, or at least whenever it felt like dawn to me, Bae Hu-ryeong indifferently passed out one sentence at a time.
-The party is a saint, and the general is a master.
‘…….’
-I know you want to say something, but I just left it in my brain. I have to say please, will you listen to me?
‘no. You don’t have to go that far. It’s just that you look so stupid. I feel sorry for you… … .’
-okay. Feel sorry for yourself as much as you want. Let’s see where we go.
Tick.
A day passed.
I succeeded in suppressing the White Demon cult. It was a difficult quest. The Madou who had been practicing human sacrifice for hundreds of years were strong, and the work they had built up was solid regardless of their karma. Bad karma. wrongdoing. Villain. I had to do my best to defeat them, who had the triple strength as shown in the picture.
-The evening is happy and the saint blesses it.
Tick.
However, the last fight was surprisingly enjoyable. When I think about it, I think I love fighting against each other with all my might.
Isn’t that why joy suddenly welled up from deep within my heart when I was fighting against the gray spider of the Magic Tower?
-Let’s open the stall and enjoy the world.
Tick.
Traveling with the boy became more enjoyable as the days passed. The world is still overflowing with obvious evils. The damage did not cause harm, and the perpetrator did not pretend to be harm. These were evil people who could be cut cleanly like cutting tofu with a knife.
-Terrorism, go away. Death, go away.
Tick.
Still, Bae Hu-ryeong was spouting meaningless nonsense.
A day passed.
-It’s a little bit of Kim Gong -gong.
‘…….’
I left it like that now.
Just as I am myself, Bae Hu-ryeong will always be Bae Hu-ryeong.
What I mean is, people can be changed, but swords cannot be changed.
– Confucius.
Now it’s the 7th day.
-Do you believe me?
Today again, I was robbing a false demonic cult with the boy. Following the Blood Demon, God Demon, and White Demon, the last Gwangma remains. After destroying the enemy’s outpost, we happily headed to Gwangmagyo’s hideout.
“Ughhhhh~.”
In fact, the boy even hummed. As I looked at his back, I also felt proud. Would you say it feels like the drawing paper of your mind is being colored with the colors of happiness?
Bae Hu-ryeong was, so to speak, like ashes suddenly sprinkled on colorful drawing paper.
‘no. ‘I don’t believe it.’
-I believe you.
what?
I’m getting goosebumps.
‘Are you crazy?’
-But I’m not the only one who believes in you. I trust Grandpa Marcus too.
‘…….’
-If you don’t climb to the 99th floor, your grandfather will climb it for you someday. Instead, it’s funny to say. Because your grandfather is not your replacement. But I believe you know what I meant.
Bae Hu-ryeong’s voice seeped into the air.
-To put it bluntly, you can fail.
‘…….’
-Trust is the idea that each other will do their best. And the best thing is not for the other person to decide, but for you to decide for yourself. So, a relationship of mutual trust means that each person decides what is best for them and each person accepts that decision. That’s it. That’s it.
‘You know what? ‘I’m really scared right now, right?’
I’m serious.
Even if this guy were to swear and curse for 24 hours a day, my stomach wouldn’t be as numb as it is now.
‘What on earth are you trying to say by exposing something like this?’
-Listen to me just once.
‘You’re listening.’
-no.
Bae Hu-ryeong looked at me blankly.
-listen.
-Do you remember all the bullshit I’ve been talking about for a week?
‘I remember.’
-Your memory sucks. Do you really remember everything?
‘You threatened me to remember it like that, so would you mind? And I have a good memory. ‘Your memory is just perverted, but I’m not going to go down on you.’
-I’m glad.
Bae Hu-ryeong lifted his chin.
-Then recite it.
‘Out loud?’
-no. In your head.
‘…….’
good night.
I closed my eyes.
“… … huh? Confucius?”
Is it because I suddenly stopped walking?
I felt the boy who was walking ahead stop and look back at me.
“sorry. please wait for a moment. “God.”
I asked for his understanding.
I quietly concentrated on my consciousness.
‘These are nonsense that Bae Hu-ryeong said.’
The image is white text engraved on black drawing paper.
For an Auror user whose job it was to reveal the products of consciousness to the outside world, it was not a difficult task.
I connected the words of the past seven days one by one, like building bricks.
Damn, this year is going to be a big hit because it’s a good harvest.
The leader is a saint and the general is a master.
The evening is happy and the saint blesses it.
Open the stall and enjoy the world.
Terror, go away, death, go away.
어화둥둥 김공자 라랄라 개새끼야
It wasn’t difficult either.
However, the reason why Bae Hu-ryeong made him speak [like that].
To find out, I sped up the time of consciousness.
‘I’m not the type of person to say such an embarrassing line out of mere nonsense.’
What is it?
What kind of prank was this?
‘What did Bae Hu-ryeong say?’
I recalled my memory.
For some reason, without knowing why, every part of my memory was dug out as if it had been eaten by bugs.
Nevertheless, there were several voices that came to mind.
『I think this is messed up.』
I remember.
But this alone does not provide a clue.
『Is this your first time hearing what I said?』
This too.
“good.”
So, what about this?
『If you act childish, I will become childish too.』
I briefly lost consciousness in the accelerated timeline.
“…….”
Childishly.
Originally, Geomje was a childish human being.
therefore.
If we take what Bae Hu-ryeong said and take it apart, one letter at a time,
This year is going to be a big hit because the harvest is bountiful.
The ‘Tang’ statue is a saint and the general is a master general.
‘Evening’ is happy and the saint blesses it.
Open the ‘left’ panel and enjoy the world.
‘Te’ler, go away, death, go far away.
‘Uh, you’re a bastard, Kim Gongja, la la la.’
“…….”
It’s not.
That doesn’t make sense.
Even if you separate the last part of the sentence and say it out loud… … Senine seraya? no. Even if you put it together in your head, you can’t put together a plausible message, no. wait for a sec.
wait for a sec.
‘J’lal is a good harvest, so ‘this’ year will be a big hit.
‘Tang’ is a saint and ‘General’ is a master general.
‘Evening’ is happy and the ‘saint’ woman is blessing.
Open the ‘left’ board and enjoy the ‘han’ world
‘Te’, step back, ‘death’, go far away.
‘Uh, you’re a bastard, Kim Gongja, ‘la’la-la’
“…….”
therefore.

『Die to that constellation right now.』
“…….”
“Confucius?”
『Do you believe me?』
“Are you okay? He didn’t say anything for a while. “You have no facial expression at all.”
“I believe you.”
“ah. Maybe it’s because of the internal injuries you received while fighting the Madou… ? I guess the continuation of the game was too much. It doesn’t feel like the quest was rushed. “Shall we take a little rest?”
“listen.”
“…….”
I am.
“Confucius, sir?”
I am.
Put the dagger in the boy’s hand.
“ah?”
Just like that, he pulled the dagger towards my neck.
“…!”
A loud noise erupted.
“No, Confucius, what on earth…” … ?!”
Everything happened in an instant.
Without him having time to resist or even to use any abilities or skills, I pinned his body with aurors and placed my life on top of the fixed blade.
Life was cut off at an angle.
[You are dead.]
Beyond the blade, the boy had a shocked expression on his face.
“———-!!”
scream.
“why! Why, damn it! Damn——.”
shout.
[The skill is activated.]
And, the world around me was shattered.
etc,
