101 – Change route
“…..Ah?”
Kang Ha-neul, holding Pandora in his arms, looks around with a puzzled expression.
“What…?”
The wall collapsed suddenly. Ariel jumped out muttering an unknown time inside. And even Rumia, who is waving her hand with a bright smile behind her.
As many things happened so suddenly, Kang Ha-neul’s head, which was already complicated, stopped for a moment.
“………”
Right after that, Ariel quietly looked back while exhaling her rough breath.
“…Ah.”
It was only then that he realized that he was facing Ariel as ‘Kang Ha-neul’, not as ‘Oh Ji-seok’, and he began to break out in a cold sweat.
‘Now, Ariel will think that I killed Justia.’
A monstrous girl who overcame the stronghold of the Dominating Hands, which is in front of her right now, in less than 5 minutes, even if top-ranking heroes flocked to her, it would be difficult to destroy it.
She remembers her taking off her mask in front of her just a few months ago and revealing her true face.
“Uh, um…”
Even though her skills are still below Justia’s prime, the situation is enough to turn herself into ground meat even if she can’t use her skills or even Kyureuk.
“Hey, let’s talk first…”
Her entire body instantly shuddered. It was at that moment when she muttered that as she put her Pandora behind her own, her river sky making a fierce expression.
– Far away…
Ariel, who had been staring at him quietly, began to make an expression mixed with complex emotions as she bit her own lips until they were bleeding.
“…….?”
Kang Ha-neul, who tilted her head at the sudden reaction and looked at her, quietly starts to walk backwards with Pandora.
“The story… Later…”
Ariel Everray muttered as she lowered her head while clasping her hands tightly as she looked at her with dark eyes.
“There…”
“For now… Get out of here…”
Kang Ha-neul, who was about to say something, scratches her head and turns around at her anxious appearance, which seems to explode if she replies even slightly.
“Hello…”
“Ugh, f*ck.”
Then, right after that, Rumia came into his field of vision and was twisting her whole body with her hands behind her back.
“f*ck, I think it’s a bit inappropriate as the first thing you say when you see a text message and face a person who has come to save you with all your might.”
“………”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. One of the bucket list items was to be swearing in the face. By the way, would you like to get out of here with me for now?”
“Ugh…”
As she spits out her words with a melting expression, her river sky shudders at her already with a deflated expression.
＞ You, sir.
＞ Was this the reinforcement you mentioned?
In the midst of that, Pandora’s chatting hurriedly flew in from the side.
＞ This guy is crazy???
＞ I thought I’d never see you again, so I got all the forms!!
Pandora, hiding behind the river sky, was staring at Rumia trembling with his head sticking out.
“Ah, I don’t really care about that…”
Rumia tried to convince her with her bright smile.
“…….Oh.”
“….!!!”
But when she suddenly stops her words and starts looking at her Pandora with her serious expression, she hides her head in surprise.
“…….I don’t know what all of this is about. It’s far beyond my scope of understanding.”
At that very point, she started muttering a heart with a rather puzzled look on her face.
“But since I’m not the type to care about such things in the first place…”
– Pajijijik…!!!
Then, as she vigorously swung her scythe in the direction of her river sky, her surroundings distorted and her terrifying sword spirit began to fly.
“Suck.”
– Kwagwagwagwagwang!!!
But when Ariel quietly took a deep breath and lightly thrust her fist forward, Heart’s attack was easily canceled out.
“…This is a weapon powerful enough for a death knight to wield.”
– Giying…
“There’s a reason why the two of you came together without reinforcements?”
Despite Ariel’s continued questioning, Ariel just stared at herself coldly, and Heart, who had put on a troubled expression on her face, finally sighed and lifted her scythe again.
“I prepared so thoroughly, but how many variables have I already…”
“I’m sure he prepared meticulously.”
“Yes?”
Even so, Ariel, not at all shaken, quietly clasped his hand, then muttered in a cold voice.
“It wasn’t as much as then, but it took quite a while to come up with a strategy.”
“…..?”
“But.”
She quietly gazed at her river-sky group as they began heading for the escape route she had dug.
“Now I have everything figured out.”
“That’s an arrogant statement.”
Then she snorted and stared at her heart for as long as she started walking towards her with an expressionless expression until the end. She quietly concluded her words and clenched her fists.
“…Something I didn’t want to figure out too much.”
The next moment, a terrifying roar covered the hallway.
.
.
.
.
.
– Koo Goo Goong… Koo Goo Goong…!!!
“Wow. Even though I’m quite far away, I can still hear the sound from here.”
A few minutes later.
– Quguaguagwang…!!!
“Senior~ I’m scared~”
“…Please shut up.”
Leaving the restaurant through a straight-lined escape hatch, Kang Ha-neul, who was walking down the hallway pulling a food delivery cart loaded with Pandora and the concept of death, looked wearily at Rumia, who kept chattering next to her, and cursed at her. Spit out
“You’re not being honest, senpai.”
“………”
“There’s something I’ve done to you so far, that you pre-talked me… You finally decided to accept me, didn’t you?”
But then Rumia increases the number of words with an ecstatic expression on her face.
“…Since that day’s battle, I’ve developed a hypothesis about you.”
“Rumia… The day I was completely broken? hahahaha… I was kind of funny back then, wasn’t it?”
“Shut up and listen to me.”
Kang Ha-neul, who used to suppress his anger by carving countless ‘endurance’ characters into her heart, quietly raises her head to Rumia and asks her questions.
“You have a double personality like Heart, don’t you?”
“Hmm?”
“That abominable personality that turned my life into abyss, during that day’s battle, briefly escaped… Are you sure you’re taking the initiative now?”
Then, Rumia stopped her steps with a dazed expression.
“That’s… Uh… Uh… Uh…”
She puts on her utterly thrilled expression and is about to say something, then squeezes her neck, which suddenly locks up, before finally responding with an eager nod of her head.
“…Why is this all of a sudden?”
“Whoa… Ha… That’s it, senpai.”
Then, she lets out her breath for a second, then raises her tension like a dog running wild with excitement and opens her mouth again.
“Actually, I’m Bing, Bing… Khehehe.”
“…….?”
“Actually, I feel this world…”
However, she twisted her body every time she tried to convey information, feeling her choke.
“I love you so much, senpai…”
“………..”
“Oh, this works.”
Then she murmured so much and scratched her head and smiled, Rumia.
“I know roughly how things turned out, but I can’t blindly trust her. There’s a good chance she’s acting.”
Kang Ha-neul, who had been looking at her for a long time, lost for words, opened her mouth as she slowly fell beside her with a frown on her face.
“…And for now, your personality doesn’t seem to be sane either.”
“Oh, how did you know?”
Then, his expression soon darkened.
“Honestly, their personalities are simply differentiated and they are the same person, so I just want to kill them right now…”
“…Exactly, senpai!”
But before he could finish his words, Rumia nodded at him this time.
“Please kill me with all that heart. That’s my wish.”
“………”
“Oh, do you want to kill me now? Instead of strangling like last time, how about cutting off the head quickly and cleanly?”
After staring blankly at her shining red eyes for a moment, the river sky pushes Rumia aside with chicken skin sprouting all over her body.
“…Ugh.”
“My head hurts…”
He grabs his head, which has begun to throb from the excessive amount of information, and sighs and mutters as he sees the sunlight that has begun to appear in front of him before he knows it.
“I think I should take a break and organize my thoughts…”
“…Ah, if that’s the case, there’s a good way!”
Then, Rumia clings to him again with an excited expression on her face.
“Come to my house!”
“f*ck it.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have a dick!”
“… Ha ha.”
As Kang Ha-neul, who gave up on her opponent at all, starts moving her steps with a tired expression, Rumia, who followed him behind her, starts muttering in a low voice.
“To be honest, I have nowhere to go right now, sir.”
“………”
“Dominating Hands was taken over by puppet forces~ When I went to the academy, I found myself in charge of two poor kids~”
＞ I am not a kid!!!
“That’s why you can’t be homeless, right???”
Kang Ha-neul quietly sighed at those words.
“I’d rather go to the control room and retrieve the initiative of the Dominating Hands as planned.”
“I tried hundreds of times, but it didn’t work?”
“…What?”
“I give up. There must have already been a lot of female villains, including Spade…”
“…Well, that would be nice.”
Then he stopped and muttered in a cold voice.
“Are you kidding?”
“…Look over there.”
“Oh.”
A first-class barrier that had been completely restored before I knew it was filling the entrance that Ariel had broken through.
“…You.”
“Yes!”
“I’ll kill you, so cooperate.”
Kang Ha-neul, who had been knocking on the barrier with a completely exhausted expression, eventually moved toward the passageway to the control room and spoke.
.

“Hey, by the way, there’s something I want to do before I die…”
“I’m sorry, but please shut up.”
“…Yes.”
With Pandora’s help, Kang Ha-neul, who opened the tightly closed electronic switch and entered the dark hallway, sternly cut off Rumia’s voice from behind and moved her steps.
“mmm…”
Then, Rumia quietly shut her mouth, put her hands behind her back, and joined him next to him, starting to match their steps.
＞ Dear, are you okay?
“…Yeah, it’s okay.”
He looked at him and smiled while stroking Pandora’s head, who had sent him a chat, and Rumia’s expression, which had been smiling, began to grow cold again.
‘Surely, that guy must have played the role of ‘Executive 1’…’
Pandora’s role emerged in Rumia’s field of vision as she showed off her original body’s ability as a protagonist.
＞ Do you want to come in here? I can even pull a cart.
“It’s okay, stupid.”
‘…Why did the role change to that one?’
It was because the role had changed considerably, unlike the original.
[Root will be changed…]
“……?”
It was at that point that such a message appeared before Kang Ha-neul’s eyes.
