SSS-Class Suicide Hunter Chapter 347

Episode 347 < Full moon sailing (滿月航海). (4) >

4.

[‘The cat with a gold coin’ offers you an offer.]

The Constellation spoke to me and also told me about what was happening behind the scenes.

What’s going on? The referee is watching from the 70th floor lobby at this very moment. It’s about the count.

The circumstances told by the Constellation were quite surprising.

[‘The cat with the gold coin’ desperately requests that you and your judge agree to a reasonable transaction.]

It turns out that the count was bargaining with the nobleman and the Holy See!

Just as the Holy Knight received his skills from the Four Gods, the Count received his skills from the Merchant God.

And it is said that this very statue was the [Cat with a Gold Coin], the constellation that rules the Geumcheon World on the 72nd floor.

‘but.’

I was easily convinced.

It could not have been a coincidence, but there were many similarities between the Count’s skills and the laws of the Geumcheon World.

‘The Count can bargain for almost any item and summon it with a skill. The price is at the discretion of the trader. Above all, when I purchased the [World Peace] item, the phrase [The world was originally peaceful!] appeared… … .’

In short, it is a skill that makes the Count angry.

As the count is deeply dissatisfied, the merchant, on the other hand, is satisfied. Isn’t this the kind of thing you’ve seen a lot of times somewhere? Tearing and making fun of someone like that is actually the core of their skill.

in other words.

“… … “I think the Count is very angry with you.”

[‘The cat with the gold coin’ is begging you to do something!]

The Count has been using Sangsin’s skills for a long time, a truly long, long time.

I must have been teased every time and got really angry.

Like when I was humiliated upon arrival in the port city of Levanta, no. I’m sure you’ve been subjected to similar things over the years.

In short, the Count’s current state of mind was not ‘Ah, I really appreciate it, no matter where you live, for giving me this skill.’ Even if it wasn’t, it wasn’t for a long time.

Rather, it was closer to ‘I didn’t know where you lived until now, but now that I know, it’s really good!’

In short, you have finally met your enemy!

[The ‘cat with a gold coin’ sheds tears as he says that the judge is about to boil him down to his bone broth.]

Of course, the Count had no intention of letting go of this opportunity.

The count first looked for a means to contact Sangshin. Thanks to my skill, I was able to purchase any item I wanted. And as a result of running the search bar, it turned out that there was also an item called [Phone call with Sangsin] in the product list.

bingo.

There are almost infinite items, so if you don’t use the search function, you would never be able to find them.

Oh, by the way, [Product Search] is also a paid item. It is also an essential item that must be purchased on a monthly basis. It’s no wonder what kind of rip-offs the Count has been caught in over the years.

『Hello.』

The count spent a lot of money to make a phone call.

“yes. This is Sanghoe, a smiling cat who will put a gold coin in your mouth. Who are you?』

『I am a merchant called the Count of the Lion World. He gained skills at an early age and was successful, but now I see that you created these skills.』

It is said that the moment the Count learned that he had been summoned to referee, he roughly guessed the situation. And the very moment I was bullied, I figured out the whole truth. His skills, the laws of the golden world, the similarities between the two, etc.

Thus, she came to realize that her skills must have originated from the master of the Geumcheon World.

『Is that so? What is the skill name?』

『It’s a cat store.』

『Ah, that’s right. This is a skill we created and distributed.』

That realization was correct.

『The customer calling now… … . Oh my goodness. Look at the points piled up! You are a very good customer. You always used Smiling Cat Sanghoe. Did you say thank you for our company’s service?』

“oh. Of course. I feel tremendous gratitude to you.』

『It’s nothing! Please note that the phone call items you are currently using are billed by the hour. The first minute is free. For subsequent uses, separate call charges apply for each minute. Please understand this.』

The Count warned leisurely.

『The Death King has now gone to the world they rule.』

“yes?”

『I am the judge who judges whether Death King passed or failed. In other words, it can be said that it is entirely up to you whether or not you want to let Death King wander around in that world forever.』

『Excuse me, but what do you mean? … .』

『Oh, don’t worry. You will find out soon.』

Pop.

The Count hung up the phone without any hesitation.

At this point I was wandering around the alley. Darkly. Struggling with desperate hunger. Soon I went into an antique store and did what I could.

The Count was lying on the sofa, chewing potato chips. A phone appears out of thin air and rings! It was around that time that it rang.

『I am the Count.』

『Yes, customer. We have confirmed the information you provided. We really appreciate you letting us know in advance before contacting us.』

“what. I paid money to do this.』

『Ah, customer. We have decided to refund the cost spent on purchasing currency items. We will also pay additional fees. I sincerely apologize for not being considerate in advance.』

In a short period of time, Sangsin’s tone of voice became quite polite.

『So, I guess the reason you called is because you want to make a deal about whether or not that Death King will clear the stage. Is that correct?』

『It’s good that we can talk faster.』

『What kind of compensation do you want?』

『It’s good that it’s faster, but it’s still not the tempo I want.』

“yes?”

『I’ll call you again in a bit.』

The Count hung up.

At this point I was devouring antique stores and sweeping down the streets. His elegant appearance was like the Pied Piper leading a flock of tiny mice with majesty.

What made them different from the Pied Piper was that these mice fought among themselves, and instead of jumping into the river, they asked each other for cassock bread. And cassock bread quickly became popular throughout the city, beyond the streets.

Rumbling!

『I am the Count.』

『If you have been offended while using our store, or if we have been rude to you, we sincerely apologize. sir.”

The person in charge’s voice became urgent.

『We are currently looking for the person responsible as quickly as possible. The member in charge of the customer will be transferred immediately, and if there is anything else you want, we will accommodate it right away.』

『It’s okay. This is indeed a quick action.』

The potato chips crunched sweetly in the Count’s mouth.

『But not my tempo.』

Pop.

Cassock bread, which became popular throughout the city, reached its peak when it reached the mayor’s residence. The guards guarding the official residence started a self-destructive uproar after it was revealed that they were stealing each other’s wages, and the mayor, who ran out in a huff, asking what was going on, was hit on the back by his lover. For the sake of the honor of the two mayors and their spouses, I will not tell you what secret I revealed.

Rurrrrrrrrrrr!!

The phone rang like crazy.

『It’s just a count.』

『I was wrong. sorry. Please forgive me!』

『I can talk to you now.』

『Right now, everyone in our company is pounding their heads! I’m calling you right now with my Grandeur on, sir! If in doubt, we will connect you to a video call right away!』

Without anyone asking me to, phone calls were upgraded to video calls. There are really dozens of people in the hologram that unfolds before the Count’s eyes… … No, dozens of cats were f*cking the Grandeur.

Indeed, the count was left speechless for 0.5 seconds by the cute and bizarre scene.

Yes. The body was a cat. And that’s not just one cat, but dozens! The place where dozens of cats worked to run a business was the [Smiling Cat Shop] and the [Geumhwa Moon Cat].

However, the Count was not generous enough to be fooled by their cute appearance and forget what they had done. For that to be the case, the life I’ve experienced so far due to this skill has been too 99.9% cacao-like.

『What a minister. It’s a superb view. Please keep holding on.』

“what! what! what.!”

『You may have figured it out by now, but that friend is a fool. If ‘gae’ has the meaning of ‘more’ and ‘ssang’ has the meaning of ‘even more,’ then it can be called Gaessangtorai. Now you will know that whether or not I release this bastard forever into the golden world depends on how I feel.』

At this time, the mayor and all residents of the port city were bowing their heads in the square. The cats were nailing the Grandeur. It was a truly beautiful sight as everyone, regardless of status, gods and subjects, buried their heads.

『I assure you, you really don’t want to know what will happen if that friend wanders around that world for just 15 days. But I want to know.』

“what… … ! what… … ! Customer, please have mercy!!』

『First, record this entire conversation and show it to Death King. Since time immemorial, it has been said that one’s own shame is hidden, while another’s shame is spread from generation to generation, in all directions, five generations, six states, the universe, the outer universe, and even the multi-universe. I want to share this pleasure with a friend.』

So, I am currently watching a 2160p ultra-high definition hologram video of a conversation that took place in a place where I was not present. This too was the whole story of the incident.

『My conditions are simple. Kneel. Parkge. If you’re already f*cking me, f*ck me more. Endure eternal submission by swearing eternal loyalty to me.』

『Nya, nya… … that… . Even though… … .』

『Of course, I understand your position. Even if a tooth is broken, the spirit of still having gum left is the tenacity of a person. So, I am willing to wait patiently until your gums wear away.』

On the other side of the hologram, the Count sucked his finger.

It was a face that enjoyed the sweet and salty taste of potato chip crumbs.

『Death King. I’m sorry, but I’ll cancel my promise to acknowledge my clear as soon as I fall there.』

The Count looked straight ahead, in the direction where I was standing, with a smile that was more cat-like than that of a cat.

『I hope you understand that this decision was made not only for my personal greed but also for the benefit of the entire tower. I believe there is no need to explain the benefits our tower will gain by subjugating the [Smiling Cat Company].』

Uh oh.

“You might want to get a bit of a kick out of it and feel refreshed, but my thoughts are a little different. I’d like to take this opportunity to scold you. Of course, since you are my friend, I believe you will show deep interest and affection even when it comes to my personal grudges. Well, honestly, it doesn’t matter if there is no interest or affection. After all, aren’t you the one who decides whether you’re going to rot there forever or not? If you don’t want to be corrupted, cooperate.』

This cat… .

『If you’re going to cooperate anyway, do it happily. Isn’t that your specialty? I’ve seen the crazy things you did in the port city. But I am confident that yours is the one who will cross the river, the sea, and spread the world. I hope that you will continue to do what you have been doing until I achieve a ‘satisfactory negotiation.’』

In the hologram beyond the hologram, cats were nailing Grandeur. The colorful cats were shaking.

『Didn’t I tell you? You are a good friend.』

The Count smiled casually.

『Let us strive so that our friendship will be passed down as a role model for others even after half a millennium has passed.』

The cats screamed and screamed.
