296 – Day 2 (2)
“This is crazy. “I have to get out of here!”
Even though Duke Gogon’s proposal could not be said to be the best, it could at least be said to be the best. The Shinigami has already come looking for them, and there is no way to get rid of them.
Then, the only thing we can do is play together and kill some time. If I was going to choose a better way, like running away, I should have done it a long time ago. It’s already too late.
“Come on, open the door! aaah!”
“You have to pull that door to open it…”
The people who rushed to the door, pounded, bumped into each other, and made a fuss for some reason realized that the door had not been locked in the first place, and with embarrassment, they pulled the door open.
Then he stopped walking and took a deep breath. There is only darkness outside the door. There was only pitch black darkness. If you kept your eyes open, you could tell, but that place over there was definitely not the real world.
If you have courage, you will be willing to take a step beyond the darkness,
If you had the courage to do that, would you have tried to run away from here in the first place?
No one wanted to test themselves to see what would happen if they threw themselves beyond the living, writhing darkness. Just by looking at it, it was a dangerous space.
-Let’s play.
I was startled by a voice that seemed to be whispering in my ear, and when I turned around, I saw a lump of human flesh sitting on my shoulder and smiling.
People hesitated to close the door at the sight that made their blood freeze just by looking at it. I instinctively knew there was no way to escape now.
I cried out for help, but no one helped me
The resentment of the babies who eventually died,
The sound of crying,
It becomes a curse, trapping them, making them wander through this world, and not letting them go…
-Let’s play together.
This giggling Shinigami had at least no grudges against the people here. It was even weirder to be there. However, if you come only with a grudge, you are no longer a reaper.
Just as the undead blindly hate all living things, the Reaper hates the feeling of happiness. He hates those who enjoy what he did not enjoy and was not fortunate enough to enjoy.
However, just as the undead hate the warmth of life but crave it in a corner of their hearts,
The Shinigami also hates happiness, but actually desires it to some extent.
From Noble mtl dot com
It’s just that it’s not in your control, so you can’t help but hate it.
The reason I wanted to join in and play with this seemingly happy place was also because I wanted to fulfill one of my wishes as a baby who was cruelly trampled upon. However, even though I crave happiness, my body is no longer capable of capturing that happiness. Reapers are not beings that can laugh and chat with people and have fun.
The once fun party venue has now become a place full of silence and silence, and the musicians tried to cheer up their trembling hands in some way, but it was too much.
So, it wasn’t as fun as before. Even though everyone was smiling, I wasn’t laughing, and instead of being happy, I felt like I was walking through thorns. The party was completely ruined, and there seemed no possibility of revival.
What should I say? Should we at least play hide and seek? Or playing tag? Then, if you are discovered or caught by a tagger, wouldn’t the next place you go to be the nether regions?
“It’s not fun.”
I tried recommending things like card games or board games instead, but they are essentially babies. I easily get bored with complicated and boring things and no longer find it interesting.
Every time the child’s expression became more and more gloomy, the Shinigami, a being on the border between humans and darkness, got closer to the darkness. A more and more gloomy feeling began to take over, and the more it got, the heavier the atmosphere became.
Everyone is holding their breath and trying to get in, so how could a place like this, filled with silence, be enjoyable? At this time, the landlord, the Marquis Gogon, stood up with trembling legs. Still, because he had years of experience, he was not incompetent enough to sit still and wait for death.
“Then let’s go somewhere more fun than here!”
As expected, if that child looks completely disappointed,
Then it will probably be difficult for people here to see the sun rising tomorrow morning.
So I had to survive somehow. First of all, I had to pass that lump of liquid somewhere and look at it. Of course, I know. In this case, even if he survived, the consequences were endless.
It was unclear whether the envoy would let them go just because of this, and even if they let them go and go somewhere else, this would definitely be heard by the temple and the imperial palace. If you commit something big like this, no matter how great your family is, it will be difficult for it to end easily.
But that’s for later, and we have to live for now!
Duke Gogon said everything he had to say, even with a trembling voice.
“There is a party that is much more harmonious and lively than here… Than here. Maybe God will be satisfied too. “If you want, I can show you the way there.”
At this, the Shinigami smiled brightly,
Squeak!
The tightly closed door opened, and the world appeared outside. The moment the lost moonlight came in through the open door, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lived In the end, he survived.
“Then take me there.”
The Duke’s head was already spinning twice as fast as usual due to his survival instinct. There are probably many families holding parties in this system now, but most of them are families that are not much lacking in money and status. Even if the matter is resolved by sending this envoy to such a family, that is when the real problem begins.
If you were to guide this envoy to a place like the imperial palace, for example, the results would be as obvious as hell. Even if you survive the Shinigami, there is a 10% chance that your head will be taken off. Nothing will protect you in front of the blade of the guillotine, whether it’s a lie or a lie.
With as little setback as possible,
A place where the poorest people can gather.
A place with as few regrets as possible.
Nevertheless, this place is large enough to satisfy this envoy.
There was only one place like that.
This is Evan Brown’s party venue.
That’s why the reaper came out of nowhere at the cheerful party.

“What is this! This is the Shinigami! Make good use of the Hongyeom River! “What kind of fire is so incompetent that it can’t even burn something like this!”
Any disaster can ultimately be caused by human power or prevented by human power. Each person is different, but a Master can certainly handle a certain amount of disaster on his own. Moreover, there were as many as two masters here.
At this, the Shinigami’s expression became distorted, and these two also had their expressions distorted. The fun party was ruined, and they clashed as soon as they saw each other. Countless waves of strong energy were rampant, colliding with the divine power of the Shinigami, neutralizing each other, and starting to destroy the entire party hall.
“The Shinigami is formidable! How easy is it? There is a good reason why it is called God in the first place. Damn it, where has the princess gone at a time like this? “Anyway, it’s definitely not there at important moments!”
Leon’s expression, spewing out blazing red flame energy, was not very good. It’s hard to believe that you’re fighting a reaper while playing a board game, but this reaper was really no ordinary person.
In essence, fire is the natural enemy of evil things and has purifying properties. His red flame energy is particularly effective at burning away such things.
However, this Shinigami was born from such a bitter grudge that even if his body is cut or split, it does not burn and responds with divine power at every moment. However, the Shinigami’s expression was not very good either.
“You tricked me! “They said it would take you to a fun place!”
Muttering a vengeful curse towards Duke Gogon, who ran away as soon as things got out of hand, the Shinigami heaved his anger and retreated. I didn’t come here to begin with because I wanted to compete with those humans. I just came because I was curious about the party.
“It would have been nice if Roca was here. If that were the case, wouldn’t you have been able to break that thing over there down easily, unlike anyone else?”
“At least you shouldn’t say that! Your destruction technique doesn’t seem to be working at all right now. Hey, man. If you have a conscience, speak up. Who is fighting harder now! “It’s me and you!”
I already had a headache from drinking too much, but even fighting while swinging a sword wasn’t enough, and I was hitting my helpless allies, so Leon lost his temper.
Still, two people were much better than one. Although it doesn’t do much damage against the Shinigami, just having one master assisting with the attack and defense was quite helpful.
“Those two people were masters. “If it had been before, I would have recognized it right away…”
“Yurinel. “What should we do in times like this?”
“Us?”
The woman once called the Dragon snorted and turned her gaze towards her drinking vessel.
“Bring me a drink. “There’s nothing we can do.”
Even when everyone else is screaming and running away, the reason I don’t run away and stay here is,
It was his pride as the last remaining warrior.
