58 – All the main characters are liars
“Oh no! sorry! I said something strange… … .”
Yuri blushed and lowered her head.
As if you made a mistake.
“That, it just… suddenly came to me. Originally, I think I have a very cruel and violent personality. Besides… … .”
Suddenly, Yuri came out and looked at Hyena alternately.
Let’s stay still in the gaze that doesn’t know the meaning.
Yuri shook his head.
“Ah, no way! I-I will work hard to go back to the old days!”
“Ummm, don’t worry too much. It’s too hard, so there’s no need to do that.”
I said it like this
It is true that the old glass is more needed.
This is an apocalypse world in ruins.
You don’t know which hideous monster to fight.
Sometimes you may even have to kill people.
In fact, we’ve killed a lot of humans along the way.
Of course, most of them were the bad guys who attacked first.
I kept the line of self-defense.
The fact that he committed murder does not change.
And if I kill more in the future, I will kill them.
I don’t think it will kill any less.
‘I don’t think the current Yuri can withstand such a situation.’
I was fine because I had metafiction.
The fact that Yuri didn’t mind even after that was thanks to her memories from her past life and her unique cool-headed personality.
But now?
Yu-ri is unable to say anything because her face turns red just by holding Seo-han Jong’s hand.
To be honest, fighting in such a state was unreasonable.
I don’t know if it’s the one who supports at all like Hyena.
Yuri is a pure prosecutor.
That personality is sure to be lethal in real combat.
‘Well, there’s no point in thinking like that unless Yuri comes back.’
Fortunately, the March rabbit said that there is a high possibility of returning after some time.
I can only hope that Yuri recovers her strength quickly.
Waiting until then is my role.
“Then shall we stop here and rest for today?”
“uh? Are you okay though?”
Hyena looked at me with a slightly surprised look.
I guess I thought I would investigate further.
“There is no corner to investigate further anyway. You’re also investigating the March Hare. Let’s change the mood.”
Actually, there are things I want to do more of.
I don’t think there will be more clues if we hurry.
‘Rather, the urgent priority is to return to Yuri’s condition.’
Really, it’s a what-if story.
If Yuri doesn’t want to come back, this is a big deal.
One’s own will is important in restoring one’s original appearance.
I’m not sure why Yuri thought that.
I also need to pay more attention to mental management.
“Is there anything you want to do?”
“I-I’m fine!”
At my words, Yuri shook her hand.
It looks like a model student came out to play and was taken aback by the question.
That kind of look on a glass face is definitely fresh.
“Don’t do that. It’s been a long time, but can you tell me honestly?”
As Hye-na spoke closely, Yuri wiggled her fingers.
Soon, the cherry-like lips opened cautiously.
“Well, then… I want to… go to the game center.”
“Game center?”
This was a bit unexpected.
Even if your personality has changed
Yuri’s thoughts and knowledge remain the same.
In other words, it means that the original glass was also interested in it.
‘I didn’t look like that at all.’
Have you been patient with it all this time?
Come to think of it, Yuri never said she wanted to do anything out of the ordinary.
“Is there any game you want to play?”
“no… just… … . There was nothing like that in my previous life. I haven’t been there since I was reincarnated.”
Certainly, Yuri is not an image to go to such a place.
He said he had no friends at school.
Even if you are interested, you may not have had the opportunity to visit.
“That’s right… I asked to go as I’ve never been there, but I’m afraid I’ll ruin the atmosphere.”
“Foot!”
It was Hyena who burst into laughter.
Of course, I wasn’t laughing.
Rather than that, he has a happy face at the cute reaction.
Maybe I have the same expression.
“Shall we go then?”
“Ah, whoa!”
Hyena pulled Yuri’s hand.
Of course glass is much stronger.
Yuri was dragged along surprisingly easily.
Seeing that, I smiled and followed him.
Even the original glass.
Thinking about what it would have been like if I had been this honest.
– Why… did you cheat on me until the end? couldn’t you trust me that much? In your eyes, did you look like a person who couldn’t understand a lie to live?
If so.
Was that really smoke, or was it something I just swallowed inside.
Could I have been more certain?
****
There is a new fact that I learned while coming to the game center.
Hyena was a game god.
“What is it, Ji-hoon is pathetic… so bad.”
“…You’re doing too well.”
It’s a car game anyway.
For some reason, even Tekken is a master.
It was to the point where I wondered if he might have hidden the ‘master of the game’ trait.
“Ah, ah… the screen is dizzy… … .”
On the other hand, Yuri did not know how to do it at all as expected.
It’s natural since it’s the first game itself.
“Now, don’t panic. Take a good look at the screen here?”
“Huh huh? You are too close… … .”
“Oh sorry. didn’t you like it?”
“no. it’s okay… … .”
I slowly taught Yuri the game.
At first, it was so difficult that even my face turned red.
As soon as I understood the rules, I was able to do it well.
In particular, he showed quite a talent for the dance game.
It seems that it is because I am moving my body.
Perhaps thanks to that, Yuri seemed excited for the first time since her personality changed.
No, I think it’s the first time I’ve seen something like that.
‘Looking at it this way, they just look like kids my age.’
I haven’t heard of Yuri’s pre-reincarnation story.
I didn’t really mean to hide it, though.
It’s because it gave off an atmosphere that I didn’t want you to pay attention to.
But when things turn out like this, I wonder if I should have asked.
Why did a kid who could make such a face look so cold?
As a friend, I was genuinely curious.
‘But it seems cowardly to ask Yuri in that state.’
We spent a long time with this and that idea.
The game center in the hotel was also unusual.
Even though the size is significant.
There are many different types of games.
From a simple stick game.
Things like throwing basketballs and shooting.
while playing the game.
Suddenly, it caught my eye that Yuri was staring at something blankly.
‘…Penguin?’
At the end of her line of sight was a small penguin doll.
There is nothing particularly special about it.
The design is simple, and there is no effect.
It’s just an ordinary, unmatched doll.
“Do you want to have that?”
“Huh!”
Yuri jumped up like a cat in surprise.
There are so many reactions like that, so now I’m used to that too.
The original glass is hardly surprising.
I was surprised inside when I saw this, but maybe it just didn’t show?
Or, unconsciously, I got used to putting up with it.
“Do you like penguins?”
“Ah, no, that’s…… Yes, I like it. Because it’s cute.”
what a shame to say that
Yuri blushed up to her ears and lowered her head.
“Hmm, then I’ll take it.”
Although it is a game that must be obtained in the form of a shooting prize.
The difficulty itself didn’t seem too difficult.
Above all, I have characteristics,
[Keep your cool with the attribute ‘Metafiction’.]
Anyway, it’s just a game center shooting.
As long as you’re not nervous, this level is easy.
“This, you don’t have to pick it on purpose!”
“why? You said you wanted it?”
Yuri shook her head left and right.
“That…it doesn’t sit well with me. Such a cute thing.”
“You think I look good?”
“…….lie. Jihoon is a liar.”
For a moment, my heart was pounding.
I think you still keep in your heart the fact that you were deceived as a reincarnated person.
However, what came next surprised me a little.
“I can tell because it’s the same as me.”
“…I don’t remember you lying to me?”
Yuri shook his head helplessly this time.
“I… was a bad person before I was reincarnated. I made the people who made a place for me die. So something like me must die. I thought I should be punished.”
“… … .”
“Yeah, I live shamelessly now. I lied to my colleagues, to myself, and to you.”
I didn’t show it though.
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
Yuri, who always seemed strong, was living with such thoughts.
It’s like squeezing out the story you’ve been putting inside.
Yuri finished his words slowly but surely.
“If I regain my original personality… I’ll probably live with all sorts of excuses. I’d rather die as weak now than to lie so brazenly.”
“Yuri.”
I called your name in a low voice.
“I also think you should come back as you were.”
“…Because I was stronger back then?”
“No, I need you.”
And at the same time I pulled the trigger.
“I will be honest. I’m curious about your past. But that won’t judge who you are.”
“… … .”
“It doesn’t matter what your original name was, what you did, what you lost, or what choice you made.”
“You can say that because you don’t know what kind of person I am!”
“The Yuri I know is that kind of guy who would pull out his sword without hesitation if it was for a friend, would get angry with a friend if he was insulted, and would forgive him if he felt sincere even though he knew he was deceived.”
A penguin doll that came out as a prize soon.
handed over to Yuri.
“So it doesn’t matter what it was like in the past. The important person to me is Yuri, who is here right now.”
“… … .”
Yuri hugged the penguin doll tightly.
As if holding something precious.
“…Is it okay for me to continue living?”
“That’s for you to decide. But even if you say no, I will tell you dozens of times.”
If you look at it coldly, it might sound like saying that the other person’s past doesn’t matter.
But that was my sincerity.
No matter what happened in your previous life.
I recognized Yuri as a colleague.
That doesn’t change no matter what happens.
We came out enjoying the game center like that.
next day.
Word came that a second victim had appeared.
Jong Seo-han of the Volcano faction was found murdered.
…It’s not very sad, but he was an annoyance to the end.
Everyone knows that I have a bad relationship with him.
Yay! I mean, oh no how this could happened! Danganropa anime was not really impressive, makes me wonder if it’s just a bad anime adaptation of what had storytelling through gameplay.
