Episode 89 < The worst is standard. (2) >
———————==
3.
As soon as I returned to a few days ago, I spoke in front of the hunters.
“This stage. “I will lead.”
“…….”
The hunters became completely dumb.
Among them were a count and a paladin. Originally, the two people died while attacking the 25th floor, but I returned to the time period before they entered.
Of course, the parties involved cannot know that fact.
“Umm… .”
The paladin made a perplexed expression.
“I’m sorry, Death King. “I didn’t know you had a knack for romance, too.”
“no. You have nothing to be sorry about. “I am completely unfamiliar with romance.”
“…But you still want to take charge of this stage? “Are you serious?”
“yes. “I really want to lead.”
The hunters whispered.
I spoke calmly so as not to lose momentum.
“As the genre is a genre, it would be good if a hunter who is knowledgeable about romance is selected. But that is not an absolute standard. I have never read a martial arts map. Nevertheless, I cleared the Annals of the Heavenly Demon well.”
“That’s true, but… .”
“I have an ominous feeling about this stage. I feel like something bad is going to happen. “Please let me take charge.”
Startle.
There was a hunter who responded to the words [ominous premonition]. She was a witch and a sword saint. They both believed that I had the power of prophecy.
“…Wouldn’t it matter? “Death King’s skills have been proven many times.”
“I think I, too, should listen to Death King’s opinion.”
Ranking 2nd and 1st gave strength to my opinion, making things easier. Other hunters didn’t even try to rebel against us. I took command as I wanted.
“ruler. From now on, I will select a strategy team that will enter the Apocalypse with me.”
I made up my mind and said:
“Only the truly elite members will participate in this stage. “Please don’t blame me just because I didn’t pick you.”
“Hmm. “You are an elite member.”
The witch glanced at me with an expressionless face.
“okay. Then I guess I should go. “I don’t know much about romance, but if someone really needs it, I’ll go.”
“…….”
“This was my first time encountering romance. Should we call it romantic sensibility? It seemed like the sensibility matched mine. I don’t really claim to be an expert on romance. huh. “I just personally think that if the elite member had to go, wouldn’t I have to join in?”
The person who introduced herself as a woman who watches dramas was in quite a bad condition.
“Romance and romantic fantasy are somewhat different. If romance is macaroons, lopant is chocolate mousse cake. Death King. I think experts should step in as expected… .”
The retired expert who secretly exuded deep inner strength was a Holy Knight. However, in her last episode, she had a record of failing to attack. She is a burden to take with a paladin.
“Isn’t love ultimately something that can be replaced by money? People who are good at paying money are good at dating. Love is power, and power is money. It’s an eternal law. “I should be hired here.”
The count raised a fan. Who on earth put that person in a romantic relationship?
“hmm.”
I calmly looked around. Just then, there was one person who came into my field of vision. The person was drinking orange juice served by the bookmark maid.
“Heretic Questioner.”
I called the person’s name.
“yes?”
“Let’s play a game of romance with me.”
“Ohh?”
Hunters around us looked at us with shocked eyes.
Heresy Questioner. Iron-blooded slayer. A person who unconditionally tortures and executes people whenever a religious dispute arises, regardless of the twists and turns. Even in our tower where there are only abnormal people, he is treated as crazy, and is truly a pure natural born psycho.
When a survey was conducted as to who in the world would be least suited to romance, that person was ranked first. The person smiled brightly like an innocent boy.
“yes! All right! Ah, if it’s Death King’s request, I’ll be happy to oblige!”
To someone who didn’t know the reality, it was truly an angelic smile.
“Death King. Are you crazy… … ?”
In other words, to those who knew the reality, there was no devil’s smile. The witch quickly came over to me and whispered to me.
“The Heretic Questioner cannot empathize with others! Objectively, he is a psychopath, and subjectively, even if you support him well, he is a sociopath. “What can I do by taking a man like that to the Romance Apocalypse?”
“Black Dragon Master.”
I also answered in a whisper.
“I may be a romantic person, but I don’t know. “I know what’s most important.”
“What is it?”
“Appearance.”
“……huh?”
“It’s the looks.”
“…….”
I was serious.
“uh… .”
“First of all, you need to look good.”
“no. Maybe it’s a bit biased… ? “There are many people in romance who are described as ordinary-looking.”
“They are deceiving with the cover.”
“Ah, I said something I shouldn’t have said… … you… … ”
“ruler. look. Who in our tower looks the most angelic based purely on appearance? I’m the Heretic Questioner. “I thought he was a real angel until I found out his true nature.”

We glanced at the Heretic Questioner.
From afar, the Heretic Questioner was smiling brightly.
“Do you admit it?”
“… … huh. That kid looks like a gangster. “In inverse proportion, his personality is also a problem because he is a gangster.”
“Besides, the Heretic Questioner is competent. You use divine magic. Even if a tolerable accident occurs, you will be able to respond, right? “He listens carefully to what I say.”
Above all, the Heresy Questioner’s front and back are not different.
What you say on the outside and what you think on the inside are the same.
Front and back.
I think this can also be an advantage in romance.
The fact that your outer appearance and inner feelings are no different is attractive to many people.
“—It might be a surprising trick.”
Someone overheard our conversation and said:
He was a paladin.
She was nodding her head slowly. She had admiring eyes.
“In romantic fantasy and romantic fantasy, the more crazy people there are, the better. Being a Heretic Questioner isn’t bad from a Ropanese perspective. It’s a shame that he doesn’t have an obsession with love, but there’s room for him to develop into a crazy man. I can see Yujam’s angle. Indeed, Death King… . Even in romance, you show your ghost-like intuition… .”
The library became quiet.
“hmm? “Did I say something strange?”
Again, the library was quiet.
However, the witch thought of something.
“It makes sense, but he doesn’t look young like Death King, and the Heretic Questioner really looks very young… … . Even if you look young, you have to be appropriately boyish. A completely childish appearance is not popular in this world… … .」
Fortunately or unfortunately, that professional opinion was never expressed in person.
Thanks to you, I came out safely and the Heretic Questioner. A romance duo was formed.
The library director’s eyes sparkled when he saw the decided strategy team.
“Oh my. I’m trying to attack with a unique combination. “I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of story will unfold this time.”
The library director stretched out his hand and grabbed [Sormwin Academy Story].
“Now is the season of love! The era has come when it has become natural to praise love! “I now say that it is beautiful to overcome status, lineage, nationality, and everything else to achieve love!”
The constellation’s sleeves were fluttering.
“Maybe that’s why love has become difficult. Love is not only an emotion, but also an attitude and posture, and many people are obsessed with romance.”
The Librarian laughed loudly.
“Is it a romantic reality? Is it realistic romance? Confucius, you too will find it very difficult to maintain balance. That’s why this director has prepared a clear bonus especially for you!”
Clear perk?
“In fact, you have cleared [Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon] in addition to the normal stage and the hidden stage. The normal stage reward was given on the 22nd floor, but the hidden stage reward was not received yet. “I will give you that as a gift now.”
“Uh, what is it?”
“Come here. “I am the main character here.”
I approached.
“I will give you three cards.”
Ta-da, the library director handed over the card.
This was written on the cards:
+
[Facial Recognition Impairment Card]
[What a coincidence? Eavesdrop on a crucial secret! card]
[Oops! I shouldn’t say this! Stop making mistakes without realizing it! card]
+
“…….”
good.
The name itself is ominous.
I don’t know what effect the cards had, but they were very suspicious.
“hey. This… … ”
“They are all used in a bizarre way in romance films. These cards will surely become your blessings. So don’t worry!”
All I can do is worry.
“This isn’t the only gift. I’ve prepared one more thing for you. “When you go to the Apocalypse, you will naturally encounter gifts.”
“yes?”
“Death King. “Heresy Questioner.”
The library director did not answer my question. Instead, I opened the book. Hahaha! Light emanated from the pages of the Apocalypse.
“I designate the above two people as characters in [The Story of Sormwin Academy]. When you open your eyes, it will still be a world seven days before the story of Sormwin Academy came to an unfortunate halt.”
Light surrounded the two of us.
“I hope you will see a great ending! Lady! And the butler!”
Lady?
butler?
The moment I was about to ask what that meant, my vision went completely white.
4.
I’ve never been into romance.
Not only did I not have the habit of reading books, but I didn’t have any friends who sold [romance] around me. To be more honest, I just didn’t have any friends. Even now, I feel like I want to remain silent about how many people I can call my friends.
However, if you ask what the [most frequently appearing onomatopoeia] is in the romance genre, even I, a layperson, can easily answer.
slap!!
That sounds like a slap in the face.
“—Vulgar and rude!”
The bright voice reached the chandeliers on the ceiling. Even before the chandelier stopped shaking, it snapped!! The all-time number one sound in the romance field resonated once again.
As you can see from the fact that I was leisurely watching the sound, I was not the one who got hit.
“… … aha?”
He was a Heresy Questioner.
The Heretic Questioner tilted his head. Left cheek and right cheek. Even though both sides turned red, the Heretic Questioner smiled. Towards the person who slapped her in the face.
“Have I done something wrong? “Your hands are very strong!”
The other person’s expression became grim. Is she a daughter of noble status? She was wearing a dress with a lily pattern embroidered in silver thread.
For convenience’s sake, I gave her the name ‘Lady of the Silver Lily’.
“How dare you act so calmly… … ! What a mean thing! “I didn’t even know I was embarrassed!”
“Aha.”
And from here, the goal was struck.
The Lady of the Silver Lily was not the only one wearing a dress.
“If I did something wrong, please point it out! I will listen and, if the criticism is reasonable, I will correct it right away! “It is best to avoid using violence whenever possible!”
The Heretic Questioner was also wearing a dress.
Compared to the Lady of the Silver Lily’s dress, it was much plainer. A color resembling the fruit flesh of a lime. The Heretic Questioner wore a dress that was half yellow and half green.
It was easy for innocence to spread into childishness. Coolness was often reflected as ignorance. But she didn’t need any of it. Her face was gangly. As a hunter I chose almost solely based on looks, the pure, natural-faced gangster smiled brightly.
“Ego! Someone whose name I don’t know. Come talk to me!”
slap!
“Are you really… Indeed, you are mocking me until the very end… .”
The Lady of the Silver Lily seemed to be squeezing her whole body as she spoke. The curves of her spine were clearly conveyed in her voice.
The person who hit was the Lady and the person who was hit was the Heretic Questioner, but for some reason, as time passed, the Lady of the Silver Lily’s breathing became heavier.
‘hmm.’
After going through the confusion that followed immediately after entering the Apocalypse, I gained some understanding of the situation.
‘Social church? ball? Anyway, it’s during the event.’
A ballroom decorated with chandeliers.
Not only us, but dozens of other people wore dresses and men’s suits. They were looking this way from a distance with anxious faces. Looks of embarrassment and nervousness were evident.
It was natural that the peaceful prom turned into chaos.
‘The Lady of the Silver Lily is the [Villain Lady]… .’
I looked at the young lady.
‘Excluding the royal family, he is the highest-ranking person.’
He is also the one who will destroy this apocalyptic world.
“Woah, look, la!”
The Lady of the Silver Lily said while staggering. She seemed to chew each syllable with her teeth and spit it out. Her voice was one that made my lungs ache just by hearing it.
“yes. “Young lady.”
The servants in black tailcoats answered.
“Those… I don’t want to see that. Clean it up. hurry… Get it out of my sight!”
“yes.”
The voices the servants answered were never loud. It was quiet. The subordinates adjusted the pitch of their voices to suit the constitution of the superiors. Anyone could see that the Lady of the Silver Lily was sickly. To her ears, loud voices were poison.
“oh.”
So the Heretic Questioner was the opposite of the Lady of the Silver Lily.
“Are you in any pain? That’s a big deal! “I will help you!”
“hurry… Can’t you hurry up and get rid of that master/servant right now…? Lock it up… … ”
The Heretic Questioner is a natural with a bright and cheerful voice.
Servants in tailcoats surrounded us like a military unit.
“excuse me.”
“We need you to follow us for a moment.”
The words were old-fashioned, but the actions were not. The servants forcibly dragged us out.
We were transported beyond the ballroom, through the hallways, and into a moonlit warehouse.
“hey?”
I said this while being transported to the warehouse.
For your information, I was also wearing a tailcoat that looked exactly like the servants.
“Where are you taking us now? yes?”
There was no answer.
“hey? “Duchung family servants?”
bang.
“…….”
“…….”
The Heretic Questioner and I looked at each other. Immediately, click! The sound of a key turning sounded. He was imprisoned in an unknown warehouse.
If my common sense is not wrong, if the warehouse door was locked with a key, it was a prison.
“Aha.’’
Bathed in the moonlight leaking from the iron bars, the Heretic Questioner opened his mouth.
“Death King. “We’re in big trouble!”
The Heretic Questioner was smiling broadly as if it was no big deal at all.
“Perhaps I have become the female protagonist!”
Yes.
And I was that lady’s butler.
etc,
