150 – 30. 2 Days and 1 night
Sharp.
“……Cough…….”
Abel, who was coughing up blood along with the sword cut in half, fell to her knees.
I tried my best even though I couldn’t use the job skill .
Unlike him, who was covered in wounds, Namgung Jisu, who did not shed a single drop of sweat, looked down at him with cold eyes.
“You’re pretty good, junior.”
“…As expected…You too…”
“But that’s still not enough. Even though I look like this, I’m really a warrior who saved the world.”
Namgoong Jisu smiled mockingly and leaned on the rainbow-colored sword as a walking stick.
Abel, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth at her relaxed appearance, opened her mouth.
“……Hero……Are you……?”
“Have you ever clashed swords? Then you would have realized.”
“…You look younger than me…”
“Hey, I only look like this on the outside, but do you know how old I really am? To be honest, I shouldn’t call my oppa oppa.”
“……Oppa……La…….”
“Hmm.”
“What…Relationship…With Namgoong Min?”
“You keep saying that, right? He’s my older brother, and I’m his younger sister.”
“…He…Doesn’t have a younger sister.”
“If it’s the Namgoong Min of this world, then I guess it’s like that.”
“……What……?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to talk for a long time with anyone other than you. Let’s sleep for a while.”
“…What──”
Puck.
Namgung Jisu, who knocked Abel out with a single blow, roughly laid him down and looked at the rock and holy sword in the middle of the room.
This time, the hero was stronger than I thought. Maybe I can save her world just like her.
But.
She had no intention of letting her only brother become a
Fortune teller.
“You will become a hero, brother.”
If my proud and reliable brother becomes a warrior, not a brat like Abel Legion.
Then obviously.
Even the damn future can be changed.
“Trust me, I’ll be waiting.”
The time when my brother, who became a hero, returns.
Only then will I be able to tell you everything.
Namgung Jisoo quietly closed her eyes and touched her own head.
Her head that her brother had touched before she entered this body.
She remembered that touch and became jealous.
I only remembered happy memories.
*
“…Where…?”
I’m sure he climbed onto the rock just a moment ago and grabbed the holy sword.
Before I knew it, I was in a completely different space.
“There is a holy sword…”
The rock has disappeared, but the holy sword I was holding is still in my hand.
But even when I looked around, there was nothing that stood out.
Just like the room before, only a pure white space unfolds.
What on earth should I do here──
Tap.
“……Huh?”
Someone passes by me.
A rough-looking man with tattoos all over his body and dressed in leather and fur walks forward.
In his hand was a holy sword like mine.
“Over there!”
He urgently calls out to him, stretches out his hand, but does not reach.
The voice disperses and his hands pass through the body.
That time when I looked blankly at his back as he just walked forward.
Tap.
“This is…….”
Someone wearing full plate armor made of steel passes by.
A man dressed as an ordinary farmer passes by.
A female knight with a determined expression passes by.
The king wearing a dragon robe passes by.
A warrior wearing gorgeous decorations passes by.
All of them holding holy swords in their hands.
Go past me and move forward.
Only then did I realize who they were.
“……Hero.”
Warrior, chivalry, king, farmer.
All of them were
Warriors.
Not the current Abel Legion, but warriors who existed in history.
Of course, these were people who did not appear in .
And.
A female student in school uniform passes by me.
“………Jisoo?”
He held the holy sword and had a serious expression.
My younger sister walked with the warriors.
That’s right, the thing is.
“Jisoo…Is he a hero?”
No, before that.
How did Jisoo become a hero?
“Are you surprised?”
“……You.”
“Don’t look at me like that. This is my space in the first place. So, you’re entering my house without permission.”
“…Could you please explain?”
“To some extent. Follow me.”
An unidentified being whose entire body is made of cracks.
We met at a mansion in Rio during vacation.
Whispering the future to the emperor.
The person who seemed to be an acquaintance of Jisoo laughed.
It didn’t have a face, but the cracks that made it up moved like a smile.
“Where do you think this is?”
“…Isn’t it the inside of the holy sword?”
“That’s not entirely wrong. To be exact, it’s a selected location.”
“Selection…?”
“Of course we are selecting a hero.”
Clink.
As he walked somewhere, cracks grew in the area that was believed to be his feet.
The crack that grew bigger and bigger eventually breaks, and a crack appears there again to replace the foot.
Extremely unstable and looks like it might disappear at any moment.
Nevertheless, his existence was relaxed.
“I give the title To a child born into the world who has the quality to draw the Holy Sword. And the moment that child grows up and draws the Holy Sword, he or she becomes a true warrior.”
“……Dismount the hero?”
“As expected, you are quick-witted. What do you think? Who do you think I am?”
The Is lowered and the Is selected.
If you could do the job you were born with the way you want.
That.
“…God?”
“That’s accurate! To be more specific, he was a former god.”
“……What do you mean?”
“hehehehe.”
God, the being who moved the crack and smiled, continued to walk.
Somewhere in the infinite white space, continuously.
“I am God, the creator of this world.”
“……………….”
“It might be hard to believe, right? You probably think this world is a game. Was it ?”
“…That’s right.”
“Oh, it’s quite easy to agree. I thought you were going to trick me.”
“There’s no need for that.”
There is nothing more foolish than lying to someone who already knows everything.
The other person knows a lot, but on the other hand, I know nothing about that former god.
In times like this, you can bluff, but throwing away everything in your hand is also a way to go.
His smile deepened, as if he was satisfied with my response.
“As expected, they are the blood relatives of the usurper. I can’t believe they are so proud even in front of God. A brother and sister pair is my preference.”
“What is your relationship with the index?”
“You must have noticed? Your sister was a hero. To be exact, she was a hero I brought from another world.”
“……That.”
“Of course, the original world you lived in.”
Wait a minute, then.
No way?
“Jisoo once disappeared for two days and one night…?”
“Probably around that time? For you it may have been two days and one night, but for the usurper it was a long time.”
“What?”
“It’s been over 20 years since your sister became a warrior. In that time, the usurper has overcome many dangers.”
“……………….”
Now.
Now the questions about the index are resolved.
Going for a walk for two to three hours every day? To move as a hero.
Are you strangely good at sports? Because he must have fought countless times as a hero.
Caring for me like an old man? Because I have matured as a warrior for decades.
While I was making a living through manual labor and part-time work.
Jisoo was saving another world as a warrior.
“……Why Jisoo? Why him?”
“I couldn’t help it. The hero I had chosen died at the gate. A new hero was needed to fight against the invasion called the gate.”
“So why was it Jisoo?”
“I selected three heroes from this world, but they all died at the gate. So I thought. If the heroes of this world don’t work, let’s bring in a hero from another world.”
“……………….”
“After that, what I saw was your younger sister. To be honest, I was skeptical about her at first, but… She was the most perfect warrior.”
Bam!!
“It’s no use. With a body like this, how can I grab you by the collar?”
“Explanation.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“You and your sister also care so much for each other. Just calm down. The story isn’t over yet.”
“Come on.”
“She accepted my offer to become a hero and fought for decades inside the gate. It was really great and amazing. At first, she had difficulty even holding a sword, but it was fun to see her slaughtering monsters with an expressionless expression. It was a change.”
“……………….”
“Nevertheless, she did not lose her original appearance. It was because you were there. If you count the time, the period of time she spent as a hero inside the gate was several times longer, but even so, she was not a But your younger sister. “He remained as ‘Namgoong Jisu.’”
“……….”
“In the end, she even killed the god of another world who had invaded through the gate. It was truly an amazing feat! She even killed the god just out of love for her brother! Well, the tragedy came later.”
“Change?”
“Your sister dared to challenge me.”
“……….”
“And in the end she became a usurper and she became the god of this world. That’s why I live like this.”
“…Jisoo is God?”
“Then did you think she was just an ordinary little sister who could interfere with your mind and even turn back time?”
“……………….”
Jisoo became a god.
It was a story so unrealistic that it did not resonate easily with me.
Before coming to this world, Jisoo and I were atheists who didn’t even go to church.
From the moment my parents committed suicide and only me and Jisoo were left behind.
Because my brother and sister did not believe in gods or anything like that.
But.
──Oppa, can I ask you something?
──You can also fold the pizza box.
──Chi, fold, fold…… It’s nothing special, but do you think there is a God?
──Hey, you and I are both high school students. Are you still asking that?
──So?
──It doesn’t matter whether it exists or not. You don’t know if you suddenly win the lottery or your parents come back alive.
──…… Isn’t that true too?
──Is it Jisoo?
──Don’t worry, brother. God…… Because you will definitely help us. I’ll make it like that.
──Okay, okay. Once you’ve folded the pizza box, let’s attach the doll’s eyes.
──…… Yes, brother.
The conversation I had with Jisoo after returning from a walk for several hours was not much different from usual.
I suddenly remembered what happened at that time.
“Well, it’s here.”
“…This.”
“It’s a kind of test. A test to see if you can draw the holy sword. The moment you pull it out, you can become a , Not a .”
“……………….”
“This is a shame, but the usurper really regretted that you came to this world as a . It would be much better if you became a .”
The thing at the end of the pure white space was the holy sword.
A holy sword stuck to the floor, just like the one I was holding.
God gestured as if to guide us toward something that looked dangerously close to falling off if touched.
“Pick it out, Namgoong Min.”
“…I can pull that off?”
“If you are who you are now, it’s more than enough.”
“……………….”
“Because it reacts to unusual forces. For example…Absolute power.”
…… Are we talking about ‘absolute power’?
A skill with an effect close to mind manipulation, received after clearing the galaxy’s character event.
When told to use it, I glared at God in silence.
However, he just moved the crack and smiled, without any way of knowing his true intentions.
“……………….”
He approaches the holy sword and grasps its handle.
Before I gave strength to my hand, I looked back at Shin who seemed to have his arms crossed and opened my mouth.
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“What is it?”
“Jisoo…Why did you accept the hero?”
“Hmm…That part is a secret under the contract. The usurper specifically asked me not to tell you anything.”
“……….”
“But well, if I had to say it…
“What is it?”
“Your sister was always there for you.”
“……………….”
“Becoming a hero was just in the same context.”
“…I see.”
Right after hearing the answer.
I put strength into the hand holding the handle.
And──
*
How long has it been?
1 Hour? Day? Maybe not even a minute has passed.
I had no choice. Because it was such an exciting time.
Namgung Jisoo, who was looking endlessly at the rock and the holy sword, recalling her memories, suddenly opened her eyes wide.
“…Oppa.”
“……Jisoo.”
“You met that bastard, right?”
“…Uh.”
“I couldn’t help it. Choosing a hero is still that bastard’s authority. But it’s okay, there’s no problem now.”
“……………….”
“Oppa, no. Shall I call you junior? Because I am a long-time warrior senior. hehehehe, just kidding. I just wanted to prank you for the first time in a while.”
“……….”
“It’s okay, brother. You too have become a hero. Now enjoy this world to your heart’s content! Not as a Like that, but as a hero…?”
“……Jisoo.”
“…Oppa? Is this because of your mood?”
Tap.
Getting closer to Jisoo. The holy sword was still in my hand.
I was purely happy, but then I passed Jisoo, who was agitated, and placed the holy sword next to the fainted Abel.
Because he is the real hero.
“Oppa? Why are you doing this…?”
“Jisoo.”
“Why on earth…? Oppa, you hate fortune tellers. You remember that pseudo bastard! Yes, I’m sorry. It was a mistake to include the fortune teller in the game. I didn’t know you would fall for it!”
“Jisoo.”
“You can change it! Your job skills and physical abilities are trash, you’re a fortune teller! That’s why you become a hero. If you become stronger, you can help those b*tches much better—”
“Namgoong Jisoo.”
“……Oppa?”
Yes, I hate fortune tellers.
The pseudo-boy was also a fortune teller, and the only thing I learned under him was how to defraud. Fortune tellers are fraudsters and the type of people I hate the most.
But.
In this world, I am Namgoong Min.
Because I was a fortune teller, I was able to save Eileen and the saint.
Because I was a fortune teller, I was able to become friends with everyone in the special occupation class.
Whether I like it or not, fortune telling has become my identity.
So, deciding who I am is.
It is entirely my choice.
“I know how you feel about me.”
“Well, I mean…!”
“But, I am your older brother and fortune teller Namgoong Min.”
“……Oppa.”
“A fortune teller who has neither Nor
.”
The only skills I have right now are , , , And .
There is no room for .
Jisoo’s face became contemplative as she finally realized that I had given up on .
“Uh, that precious skill…?”
“Jisoo, do you remember what I said last time?”
“Huh…?”
“I said I would see the perfect ending and go see you.”
“……………….”
“I met you sooner than I thought… But I won’t share the joy of our reunion.”
The right pupil shrinks, and bloody tears flow.
…… See.
In Activated to the extreme, traces of you are visible.
It was clear that she was Namgoong Jisoo on the outside, but on the inside, she was just like a blonde girl.
Even if we meet like this, it will only be a brief meeting.
I approached Jisoo with a smile.
“Where are you now?”
“…Developer’s room.”
“Can I find it?”
“If you see the ending…You can come.”
“Okay then. It won’t take long.”
Did he become disheveled while fighting the hero?
I gently brushed down Jisoo’s slightly messy hair.
Jisoo, who flinched for a moment at that familiar sensation, soon closed her eyes and accepted it.
“…Wasn’t it difficult?”
“……Yes, a lot.”
“It’s been a while since I touched your head like this.”
“……It’s been 5 years for me.”
“Really? Should I call you sister now?”
“No. I’m… My brother’s younger sister after all.”
“Is that so?”
I take my hand off Jisoo’s neatly trimmed hair.
Jisoo seemed to regret it, but I could see it as an .
There is not much time now.
Jisoo must have known that too, as she looked at me with eyes dripping with regret.
“…Oppa.”
“Why?”
“I’ve spent too much energy on this. I won’t be able to see my brother for a while… Do you have something to say? Something I can remember and think about.”
These are words you can remember and ponder over.
At that moment, many consolations and promises passed through my mind.
What I decided was a meaningless statement.
“Hey, Jisoo.”
“Yes.”
“Have you gained weight?”
“────”
Hearing those words, Jisoo stiffened for a moment.
“──Ha, ha, hahahaha! hahahahaha!! Well, it’s been a really long time. Every time I hear that, I get annoyed at my brother…”
“So?”
“hahahaha…The answer is obvious.”
Jisoo, who was laughing heartily, soon smiled brightly.
“I didn’t gain weight, you stupid brother.”
“It looks to me like you’ve gained weight. Damn little sister.”
That was the last time.
I blinked for a moment, but what was in front of me was not Namgung Jisoo, but a girl with short hair.
But I had no regrets.
Because I was sure that we would meet again someday.
That was enough.
