193. Robbers and Dogs and Cats
There were so many things I wanted to say.
Starting with how you are aware of the first playthrough.
How did you bring the soul in the first playthrough?
Even when he accurately said that it was not Deius, but Kim Shin-woo.
Who is the unknown being in front of you and what kind of power does it have?
I was curious about various parts, but first.
“You’re selling this?”
Aria asked cautiously, and for some reason, it felt as if the being in the dark was smiling.
“Yes, I have specially prepared for you what you most want.”
Something you might want.
I didn’t like the choice of words all around, but anyway. Arya asked, pretending to be as calm as possible.
“How much is it?”
He quietly puts his money bag on the counter. The sound of money given by the heavy weight.
If you were a merchant, it was an amount that would make your eyes glance away even for a moment, but the owner of a general store gives strength to the first round of holding Kim Shin-woo’s soul without the slightest movement.
“You cannot pay with money. That’s not what I want from Aria-sama.”
“… ….”
“There are only two things I want from you. I’ll give you this if you pay for just one of them.”
One of two?
As soon as Aria chinned her to listen, he turned into a man before he knew it and his golden eyes shine in the dark.
“One is your destiny as a warrior.”
“…… !”
“Sell me your destiny to save the world.”
Is that possible?
I was confused as I thought about this and that, but the man continued talking.
“Another one is memory.”
“Gi, billion?”
“Give me memories of a world other than this one you have.”
Memories of a different world?
“Are you talking about the first playthrough?”
Aria asked cautiously, and the man paused for a moment before replying with a smirk.
“Exactly.”
Aria felt something suspicious about her momentary stillness. However, her gaze continued to touch Kim Shin-woo’s soul, which was held by a man.
How should I do this?
Fate as a hero and memories of the first round.
If you were to give one of the two, what would you give? In an instant, I weighed the scales in my mind.
“I don’t want to live.”
The answer came out so quickly that it was bland.
“Hmm.”
The eyes of a man emitting light alone in the dark have a calm feeling.
I asked in the same tone as before with a low moan, saying that I was quite surprised.
“Are you really not sure? It must be what you need most.”
“I already buried the memories in my heart.”
Of course, every time I look at it, my heart aches and hurts. But that didn’t mean he could sell out what he was now made up of.
Also.
“And both of the things you asked for. Someone I know took it.”
Kim Shin-woo in the 2nd episode did not deny the memory of the 1st episode and accepted it.
And it was he who carried on his fate as a hero as well.
In fact, Arya had no choice.
“… ….”
For the first time, the general store owner bit her mouth shut. Seeing that, Arya turned around and headed for her entrance without even taking her purse.
“This is the first time, who doesn’t buy anything at my general store.”
She was the owner who tried to applaud her as she walked away without any regrets.
Clap.
Reaching her entrance, Arya locks her door and turns her gaze back to her master.
“I’m sorry, but I am no longer a guest.”
A spark that lights up the darkness.
“It’s a robber. Damn you bastard.”
The sparks of mana that rose from Aria’s body spread throughout the general store and swallowed her space itself.
“Dare.”
The darkness of the general store has lifted.
A long white-haired man sat across from the counter. Looking at his eyes that have turned into vertical pupils, Arya recognizes that he is a demon.
“Take the professor hostage in front of me?”
As Aria stretched out her hand, she tried to summon her great sword, Duatene, which she used to use in the second playthrough.
Nothing was held in her palm. She only passes the fluttering mana through her fingers in vain.
To Arya, the man smiled and answered.
“Isn’t this a very special place? Not even a god will find us here.”
In short, it means that you cannot bring anything from outside the general store.
“Oh, yes.”
But Arya snorts, is she only limited by that much? She clenches her fists and steps in front of her.
The strong flames of mana spreading behind her were expressing Arya’s feelings.
“Then I’ll beat you to death.”
* * *
“Bruised.”
The sound of bullsh*t in the lab.
It wasn’t a real dog barking, it was just someone who had broken a promise turned into a dog.
“Doggy.”
“Bark in moderation.”
She gets annoyed at the FINDEN child who barks all day next to her with the puppy from where she got it.
“Woogh-wong-wong.”
“… ….”
Finden child barks, but she doesn’t answer.
The next time she has another drink, she can say that she is carrying out very faithfully what she said to be a dog.
Today was not like this from the beginning.
He made a fuss about boiling and eating Haejangtang with an alcohol lamp in the lab, saying that he had a hangover.
Take it in moderation, child.
I just said this one thing, and it’s been this way ever since.
‘Looks like he didn’t want to be called a child after all.’
A kind of protest against me.
The absurd threat that if you call him a child, he will be intrusive next to you.
“Doggy.”
“Ha ha.”
Even if you kick them out, they will come back. When I lock her door, I open it with a spare key and come in and do this next to her.
“I understand now, stop it.”
It was a declaration of surrender, but Finden Ai glanced at me and she replied.
“Does the dog bark when I ask him not to bark?”
“… ….”
“Waah wow.”
Should I just cover my mouth with magic?
While thinking about that, Erica opened the door and came in.
She was with her just a while ago and then she went outside when she saw the Finden child wearing her ears as a puppy.
She came in hesitantly, holding cat ears in her hand.
“… ….”
“No, that…… The ones the kids used at the festival are in the storage room.”
And then he warned her as she sneakily tried to put it on her head.
“Don’t do it.”
“Finden Ai said he likes things like this?”
Erika asked to explain while looking at Finden Eye. Then she, Finden Ai, answers right away.
“Iluania played a lot like that, so she let me go.”
“You know now that it wasn’t me then, right?”
“What do you know? It’s the same body. Why did I suck my ass? But did you do it because you dressed up as a dog? Did the owner dress up too?”
Then she puts her dog headband right through my head.
[Poop!]
[Oh, your impression has become a bit cute.]
Rest.
It burns the headband on the forehead with mana. He gritted his teeth while looking in the direction of the Dark Spirit and Stella.
From noble mtl dot com.
[Do, run away!]
[Huh, let’s go together, senior.]
The two of them ran away over the wall.
I jumped up and turned around to open the window behind the chair.
“Well, bastards suck each other’s buttholes, so if you dress up as a dog, of course… ….”
Thinking she understood something herself, she throws the murmuring Finden Ai out of her window with wind magic.
Findenai flew away without even screaming. She had quite a number of floors, but she landed so neatly that she looked down and had a temper.
“After.”
It didn’t relieve my anger, but I like that it became quiet.
As he refocuses, he starts making plans to go to the general store using the thread left by Ophelia’s daughter.
“… ….”
At that time, Erica quietly approached.
Owen left for the park to perform on the street, and Professor Ferr confirmed that we were the only ones there as it was the day he had slept soundly for the first time in a while.
Poof.
As it is, it puts on a cat headband and climbs up on all fours on my desk.
“Hey, Meow?”
“… ….”
“Couldn’t you give me a reaction?”
Erika has a blushing expression on her face. She realizes that the feeling that Erica, who used to be cold and cool, has recently changed strangely in front of me, is not to blame.
“It’s annoying, so come down.”
“Ho, I tried it just in case.”
The moment I cried and tried to get off my desk without looking at my face.
Kikiiik!
The harsh sound of the door opening rang through the air in the lab.
“…… !”
Involuntarily, I raised my head at the momentary response of the thread, and the purple door on the ceiling of the laboratory was wide open.
The door to the Claire General Store, which I have seen many times in the game.
I don’t understand why it’s hanging from the ceiling, but I try to gather mana and jump right away.
On the contrary, a black-haired girl protrudes from inside, swearing.
“You bastard!”
Arya landed on the laboratory floor surrounded by her own mana.
Mana took the form of flames and served as a cushion for her, and she tried to use them as a springboard to soar upward like her rocket.
“Aria?”
Aria’s gaze suddenly turns to Erica’s embarrassed voice.
And that moment.
Kikiiik.
Thump!
The door closed and she immediately disappeared.
A moment lasting just over a second.
Erica and I couldn’t help but panic at the sudden situation, and Arya, who came out of the door, gritted her teeth and glared at the ceiling where her door had disappeared to save mana again.
Aria, who slowly reaped mana, took a deep breath and looked at us.
“…… Do you two even play like that?”
A cat on Erica’s head Looking at her ear headband, she makes a subtle expression.
“This, this…… !”
Erica hastily removes her headband and hides it behind her.
“Was it the Claire General Store?”
Passing by Erica like that, when I asked her, Aria immediately nodded her head and exclaimed.
“Right, Professor! But something was strange!”
“What were you selling?”
I’ve already heard the general explanation from Ophelia, but the more information from her, the more helpful it is.
She asked Arya with a hunch that she wouldn’t have sold the same thing she sold to Ophelia.
Arya whispered as she took something out of her arms with a serious yet proud expression on her face.
“I was selling the professor’s soul in the first round.”
“… ….”
“But you have to pay an outrageous price, right? So I robbed and stole it!”
Arya, who said that she didn’t kill her master, but stole her soul, gave it up proudly.
“What?”
Her hands were damp and it was just a pile of mud.
Great demon of desire?????
They tried to scam Aria? 🤣💆
