112 – 113. Where did the twist come from?
In front of the boss room
All the guild members of the Athena Guild had time for final inspection.
Boss
The Last Battlefield
A place where even the slightest mistake can lead to immediate death
If it was me in the past, I might have just skipped it with ‘I see’, but after tasting the spicy taste once or twice, I made a firm resolution this time.
‘Never step forward’
In the first place, this is not an event where you step forward and do something.
It’s not an event where the heroine, Minerva, is checking her violin right now, so she goes out and fights.
It is up to the Athena Guild to fight.
Just like Minerva, I got the instrument back from the guild members to check it out──
“Kyaa…!”
──Exactly as I expected.
It must have been a keyboard when it left my arms
When I came back, I came back as Ki/Bo/D.
Of course, it’s not that it’s obviously broken on the outside.
‘But only the outside looks fine’
What the hell did you do?
I gently applied force to the keyboard to open it.
“…Did you submerge it in seawater?”
The smell of the sea rising from within.
It’s not an ocean view, why is sand powder coming out of the keyboard?
Even if you turn it over and shake it off, the keyboard, which has already been soaked in seawater, cannot be revived.
“Chrono, that thing you have in your hand…”
“…Sorry. I can’t play ensemble.”
“…….This…”
“Huh?”
This, and what?
I looked up and saw Minerva.
“These…Dog…Unlike people…!”
“……Hey!”
The fluctuating wave of emotions that gradually grows
Emotions of anger evident
Minerva was about to walk straight toward the conductor, but I stopped her in advance.
“Let go.”
“Minerva.”
“Let go, Chrono.”
“I’m having a hard time, are you having a hard time?”
“Chrono isn’t having a hard time, so I’m having a hard time too!”
“What the hell is that logic…”
How come you are becoming more and more like Mars?
I forcibly sent Minerva back and approached the conductor.
“Hey man, what’s wrong with my keyboard?”
“I’m not sure what you mean.”
“No, he came back as trash.”
“Tuning is not my field. Go to the tuner and ask for that part.”
“Hmm…”
They said yes.
I turned my head slightly to see Minerva.
“…Is this something else… A guild…?”
“Huh”
What would have happened if Minerva had approached and argued?
What’s going on? The process would have been somewhat complicated, but it would have happened as it is now.
In the process, Minerva will feel even more disgusted, but the direction of her anger will be quite different from now.
If it was only me, there would be anger and hatred towards the Athena guild.
If nothing changes even after stepping out, you may harbor disgust at the situation you find yourself in right away.
There is definitely a lot of stress involved in cracking an egg, but life is about turning into a hard-boiled egg if you give it more than enough stress.
I can’t help it, I got out of my seat saying I had to get out of the ensemble.
“Chrono”
“Why”
As soon as I fell to the side, Minerva immediately came towards me.
She looks like she has a lot to say, too much to say.
She just pressed her chest and raised her head to look at me.
“Chrono…Is it okay?”
“What?”
“Are you okay? Even if you do this, even if you are treated like this…!”
“You say some strange things”
“It’s a strange word. What’s strange is——”
“──Isn’t this all the situation you went through?”
“…..!!”
Creepy
Intuition
Slight static
The enlightenment that follows
“I’ve been through, Dawn…I’ve been through…”
“Even if it’s a bit different, it’s either that or that, that’s what it is? At least that’s how I see it.”
“I…With Chrono…?”
The turbulence of the eyes intensifies.
“What you felt earlier is the same as what I felt when I saw you.”
“…………..”
I put a period there.
Silent Minerva.
She exhaled deeply, slowly, quietly.
“…Chrono.”
“Why”
She asks me.
“I feel sick to my stomach.”
“Take your medicine.”
“I feel dizzy.”
“You’ll feel better if you get some rest?”
“It’s disgusting.”
“If you throw up once, you’ll be fine.”
“…I want to die.”
“People who really wanted to die died without saying that they would die.”
“…………..”
“…………..”
Minerva looked at me quietly and asked.
“Is it because of me…?”
“No”
“…………”
“I guess I’m saying this because I think I’m in a f*cking situation and asking if it’s your fault.”
“What is that? You know everything from the beginning.”
That’s right.
Because I know the story to some extent.
That’s why, Minerva.
“If you know everything but do this on purpose, at least it’s not because you’re bad.”
“…Chrono”
I
What should I do?
Minerva’s Question
Originally, I wasn’t going to answer it——it was something that Goddess Athena, who would descend someday, would answer, but
‘Is this enough?’
I said to Minerva.
“Do as you please.”
“Eh?”
“That’s Greek wisdom.”
“……Who did you hear from?”
“Maybe Goddess Athena?”
“That’s blasphemy against the goddess.”
No
I heard it all
That’s because you don’t know Greek wisdom yet
‘Actually, I don’t know too well’
Anyway, yes.
******************
Boss room door
When the queen’s room is opened, she sees many sirens and
“Th…These disgusting humans!! Dare to seek the Queen’s blessed hour!”
In the center of the room, the Queen Siren is hatching an egg.
“Hey! Protect me! Kill all those scoundrels and get them out of here!”
However, on the contrary, most of the sirens gathered to protect her queen, so a large-scale battle was about to happen.
“Never lose! We are the army of the goddess!”
“”””Waaa!!!””””
All the guild members of the Athena Guild shouted and fought the coming war.
“Okay then let’s all get started!”
“Haaa…”
Minerva also picked up the violin and put it on her chin.
‘Queen Siren subjugation’
Phase 1
Clash
The Athena Guild and miscellaneous mobs start fighting
“Brother…!”
“Let’s not fight each other?”
“Wow! He’s my close brother!”
Sirens raise their hands and choose to accept instead of attack.
Do you want to die and bring your body in front of a knife?
“Wow…!”
“You…”
“…I…Can’t cut a child…!”
No
No.
This is the Siren’s Dungeon
Because it is the home of demons that attract people, enchant them, and eventually eat them.
“Brother…Come with me?”
“Okay…Let’s go together——keep it…!”
“I love you&”
“I’m also…Sa——kaaa…!”
The warriors who had already been possessed by demons and sirens threw themselves into death.
No, I’d rather just choose death.
From noble mtl dot com.
“You… You’re about to kill my wife!”
“What? Wake up, you fish cake bastard!”
“Fish! You insult my wife!”
“This… Is this crazy bastard?!”
A group of people who are fascinated by reverse charge with swords.
A common dispute. Rebellion. Cracks widened by civil war.
Since the number of enemies is already high, each of these disturbances is fatal.
“Keuk…! Everyone, be careful of the fascination!”
“Is the orchestra still there!”
I need ‘something’ to stop the debuff.
And it does exactly that, removing debuffs.
“Everyone, with a little more soul! Passionately! Let’s sing a song of praise to Goddess Athena who will eliminate the noise of those miscellaneous things!”
“Whoa…!!”
That is the condition for clearing Phase 1
There is no help for those who have already passed over to the Siren, but to maintain the military force by protecting the existing people.
At least, the orchestra seemed to be not babbling, as the number of people causing trouble gradually decreased, and eventually all the guild members started to move with one goal in mind.
“Why are you interfering with Yeo… Yeo, Yeo, she just wants to live! Is it so sinful for her to live!”
Queen Siren in Action
However, rather than stepping out and defeating the enemy, she simply appeals with a voice full of emotion, shedding tears.
Yes
“…I just want to live…”
“We…Maybe we’re doing something really nasty…?”
With a ‘voice’ steeped in emotion
The voice of the Queen Siren. The ‘fascination’ in the voice
It became an intense ‘debuff’ that could no longer be covered with just ‘normal performance’ and attacked the Athena Guild——but
“Miss Minerva!”
“Huh…Ugh…!!”
Minerva’s Solo
Minerva performs a solo violin piece with the full support of the Athena Guild.
The high notes produced by the violin’s strings and bow didn’t block out all the sounds of the Queen Sirens, but it started to help them better than nothing.
Thanks to that, they don’t turn enemies, but they don’t actively attack.
“Hey oppa…Would you like to play with me?”
“Don’t do that here, let’s get comfortable with us?”
In the meantime, a situation arose when some sirens attacked the rear group, but
─Taang! Bang! Tadadadang!
“Ugh, I hate it”
I get angry when b*tches who look like devils say ‘oppa’.
I just took a gun and shot him in the middle of the forehead, killing him.
‘It’s not like we just have to endure like this’
Of course, continuing like this doesn’t mean you can subdue the Queen Siren.
It’s just that Queen Siren’s charm doesn’t work right away, but the Queen’s charm will gradually cover the entire Athena Guild.
Minerva also knows this, so she will try to stop it with all her might, but in the end, everyone will be influenced and virtually unable to fight.
After that, he was slaughtered one by one by the sirens, and in a moment of crisis
In the end, the main character of the original story speaks to Minerva, who sits down saying that she cannot do it on her own.
[Sing, Minerva!]
The Minerva I know is someone who can sing a greater song than this.
The main character says to play the electric guitar, not the violin.
There is no way that there would be an electric guitar in this situation.
[…Let’s try something!]
Minerva was taken aback, but soon she wondered what she could not do with her yard, which had already ended. She reached the end and began to show her death metal that melted her own life.
Her own life, which has been suppressed all her life.
The frustrating days
Rage, regret, lamentation, and despair toward the lives that have always lived according to their surroundings.
At the end, Minerva says.
[If there is…]
At that time, I said I would live a little more freely.
And at that moment, Minerva’s ‘relationship rank unlock condition’ opens, and at the same time, the goddess Athena, who was moved by the song, descended on Minerva’s limited body, eliminated all her danger and despair, and everyone returned to life. ── It was
“Quaaa!!!”
“I don’t have arms… I don’t have them—-ah…!”
“Keep, squeak…. Squeak…”
The guild members are torn to pieces by the Sirens and torn to death.
“Be the queen’s sacrifice!”
“This… Crazy, bird…”
Discord and betrayal
Now the event had to happen, but
“Die… Die die die die!!!”
The Queen Siren gave up her spawn and turned all her powers to her own enhancement.
“……Why is this…”
The strings of the electric guitar that had been burned as a prize were broken as if someone had forcibly ripped them off.
From one to ten
Under the situation where everyone had their own common sense and went beyond expectations
“Chrono…”
Minerva asks.
“This…Isn’t this all planned…?”
“…………..”
I couldn’t answer anything.
‘What the heck’
Where did it get twisted?
