It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains chapter 23

23. two-sided system (2)

●

As soon as I got close to the portal, a group of lights began to move menacingly.

It’s as if it’s a big deal if you get closer than this! It’s like saying it eloquently. In fact, if you hit it directly there, it just bounces off.

So here I take out the black card prepared by the president.

When I got a little closer to the portal, I threw it, and soon a cloud of light wriggled and the space was torn.

At the same time, set the watch to match. exactly 2 minutes.

‘…This is the limit for Atalante’s pass.’

Originally, the world behind it was an end content that was given only to players who had won the right to ‘perpetuate’.

This black card I’m holding right now is the concept of identification given to such an eternal person. I need this, but when I go to the other world, I don’t get ‘quarantine’.

It’s because it’s managed by guys who are quite tighter than I thought.

“…”

And, to put it differently.

It means that the other side of the world is such a crazy town that even a perpetrator of the level of Atalante is only allowed to enter for two minutes.

Occasionally, depending on the route you take, you may come back to this side even during the main scenario, which is not a DLC.

‘…I absolutely hate it.’

really.

never.

I wish that kind of thing wouldn’t happen.

We will do our best to make sure that doesn’t happen.

“Wow.”

As soon as he entered the portal, such an exclamation flowed from Elijah’s mouth.

“It’s the other side of the world, so I thought it would be hell as soon as I entered it, but like this…”

“right. I understand.”

Actually, this inside is so hellish, but it’s pretty pretty from the outside right now.

Above the landmarks of the real world, colorful objects are scattered all over the ground, as if all sorts of filters were overlaid on a photograph.

spirit body. Forgotten ancient objects. thought bodies.

All of them are powerful but dangerous.

“Don’t touch me carelessly. There are many dangerous things.”

At my words, Elijah, who was about to touch the white haze that was floating nearby, took his hand back in a flurry.

In a crisis situation, I have the protection of the angels, so I want to do something, but it’s better not to come into contact with objects from the other side as much as possible.

“…but how high do we go up? How high did you shoot it?”

“You have to go a little higher.”

In fact, if you were just simply entering and exiting the portal, you would have brought a suitable flying item from the vision warehouse, not a ‘catapult’.

Even so, the reason I used such an ignorant method was to save the items that existed in the ‘Gregorian Hall’s highest level’.

“…Coming to such a high place reminds me of the old days.”

Elijah, who was in free flight with me, muttered that.

“Does it look familiar?”

“My older brother is as crazy as the teacher, so he threw me from the top of the mountain without any equipment since I was little. If you look at it that way, do you look a little like the teacher?”

“…”

“Although he always saved me. I did that often, saying that it gave me courage.”

“…”

Somehow, even in this situation, the child seemed to be strangely calm.

“Even that idiot had a particular fondness for heights.”

Elijah smiled and continued.

“…Where are you and what are you doing now?”

Undoubtedly, it was a tone steeped in nostalgia.

“…”

Of course.

Twelve years ago, the Red Night Incident.

A terrorist incident caused by the ‘Descendants of the Apocalypse’, a sect of devil worshipers who follow the ‘Red Devil’.

Elijah’s family was then slaughtered.

“…”

Elijah, who would have grown up as a daughter of a peaceful farmhouse if left alone, was chosen as the next hero candidate, whom he would not be interested in at all, the existence of that ‘missing brother’ must have played a big role.

Elijah’s brother was the only one who survived the Red Night Crisis, but he is completely missing and cannot even hear the information.

If you become famous like this, surely people will recognize you and come to you. With such thoughts, I must have constantly clung to myself.

I can’t even imagine how much the farmer’s daughter, who had never held a sword, had to push herself to get to this point.

“Oh, there is something.”

As I was thinking about that, Elijah pointed at what was in front of me with his finger.

‘Smoke’ shining in pure white is the most noticeable even in the surroundings full of colorfully shining objects.

It would be the appearance that most closely matches the image of the generally speaking ‘spirit’.

The smoke rising from Asrai is an unusual appearance.

‘The ghost of Gregory’s house.’

Originally, he appeared as an Easter egg long after the main story.

It jumps out into the material world once through the ‘outside world access route’ I mentioned earlier.

“…”

And one thing that only those who met it at that time can know.

This is an item that the sooner you get it, the more fraudulent it is.

It’s to the point that right now, users persist in data mining to find the original location in order to eat it as quickly as possible.

“It’s okay.”

In her arms, she spreads out the sack she brought beforehand.

Of course, it’s not just a sack.

[ Magic sack! ]x3

[ Price: 500pt ]x3

[ Item: Junk ]

[It is a sack that can hold any object inside. Duration is one day! ]

[ Remaining points: 1,000pt ]

A sack that can store anything that is treated as an item for a day inside.

First of all, this ghost is also judged as an item. Even if it’s impossible to capture it by normal methods, it’s possible with this.

The price is also 500, but he is worth that much.

Cover the top of the wandering ghost with it.

Of the two remaining, one sack was given to Elijah.

“I’m holding this.”

“What are you going to do with this?”

“Eat anything nearby when you run away. Anything is fine.”

“…Yes? Are you running away?”

Elijah, who had said so, pointed upward without a word.

At this, the boy frowned and looked at him.

“What is it. Is it just the sky?”

Then, silently, he points to a huge dot moving around in the center of the sky.

“Do you see that?”

“yes.”

“That’s an eyeball.”

“…yes?”

I leave Elijah, who seems to have no idea what he’s talking about, and checks his watch.

1 minute remaining.

‘I’ll get it right.’

I’m not particularly a scientist, but I’ve proven many times that what I’m doing is right, at least in a world built on top of this game system.

This is safe enough.

“What do you mean? Those are the eyes-”

Elijah, who was about to ask such a question, soon shut his mouth.

It must be because I personally saw the color of the sky change momentarily and then return to its original state.

It is probably a phenomenon caused by a creature closing and opening its eyes.

In other words.

What looks like the sky right now is the ‘white’ part of a creature.

‘Eyes’ that look like huge dots.

We finally realized that they were looking right at us.

“Oh, crazy-!”

With a deafening roar, the ‘sky’ was pushed back.

[ A crisis situation is detected. ]

[ It is judged as a level that poses a direct threat to life. ]

[Skill: Applies Desperation to EX grade. ]

To be precise, the ‘beast from the underworld’ that sensed us was approaching with its mouth wide open after pulling its head back.

‘…Because of this, the world behind the scenes is hell.’

That’s the ‘junk mob’ of this world.

organisms at the bottom of the food chain.

“Sir, sir, this, damn it!”

Saying that, Elijah drew his sword.

My whole body is shaking. There are also tears welling up in the corners of the eyes.

“Come behind me!”

“…Is it safe to go that way?”

“You saved me last time! This time I, that…!”

“…”

okay. I know my heart thanks

The courage and mental strength to think about fighting no matter who the opponent is is also amazing. Just clap.

But in the first place, with our current specs, fighting that thing in itself is an act of suicide.

“calm down. I didn’t come to fight that in the first place.”

Saying that, I remind him of the sack I gave him earlier.

Our bodies, which had soared upward without knowing the end, were about to stop rising.

All that remains is a free fall downwards.

“From now on, accept whatever comes pouring in.”

“So, is it pouring?!”

“that.”

It refers to the white lumps pouring out from the inside of the open mouth of the beast of the other side world.

“Keep as much as possible. Because there are so many places to write.”

“Gee, you’re going to have to worry about that right now?!”

But despite my instructions, he let out a scream like that.

His life is at stake, but he seems to be wondering how he cares about that. It’s not wrong.

‘…Still, it’s absolutely necessary.’

To do so, I bought two more sacks by grinding 1,000 points.

Because that’s not usually useful.

In the first place, if my calculations are correct, I am not in a situation where I will die right now.

‘Ah, that’s right.’

Can I use it in this case?

[ Skill: Use the rule of evil. ]

[Exercise command authority to target ‘Elijah’. ]

“calm down. it’s okay.”

When he said that, the boy’s trembling stopped.

“…uh?”

It was a look that I couldn’t even imagine the appearance of the guy who was afraid of tears flowing down until just now.

He himself is also shocked to see himself undergoing such a sudden change.

‘The effect is better than expected?’

I hesitated because the word ‘command’ was a bit ambiguous, but just by saying one word to calm down, even the fear of life was erased.

I don’t know how far the specific action instructions will go, but you know that force is not common.

“Are you calm?”

“…Uh, yes, yes. somehow what? what?”

“Then put that thing in it.”

Saying so, he gripped the sack again.

“Because it is necessary. got it? We are surprisingly safe now.”

“…”

Elijah looked at me with eyes asking if there were all these guys, but instead of answering, he kept checking his watch.

10 seconds remaining.

The mouth of the beast is getting closer. Its speed is terrifyingly fast, faster than our falling speed, but perhaps thanks to that, it feels like the white lumps falling together also fall quickly.

“…I don’t know, really. Who is this person, is he calm in this situation?”

With a half-disenchanted expression, he follows me and opens the bag to catch the falling white lumps.

While a creature bigger than the mountain was coming to eat him, a strange sight followed for a while, catching things that fell there with a bag.

About 9 seconds.

“So, what’s the plan! I’m right in front of you now!”

would have a double meaning.

From above, you can see the open mouth of an animal, and below you can see the ground.

Death by physical energy below. The consolation is death by being eaten.

Still, there’s nothing to do but plan and sleep.

“just. Watch your ankles.”

Because I can’t get pissed off.

isn’t that the main character? It’s a precious body.

“Yes?!”

last second.

At the same time as the clock emits an alarm, the colorful world returns to its original state as if it were filled with filters.

He was forcibly kicked out because the ‘entry right’ that allowed him to enter the Underworld expired.

“It’s… tea.”

At the same time, it lands ‘lightly’ on the floor approaching right in front of you.

If you fill up the time in this way and get kicked out, you will be treated as ‘newly created’ in that coordinate.

In other words, in the current situation, the only thing that applies to me and Elijah is the physical energy of the level of jumping from this two-story building.

thump, thump. A series of sounds rang out.

“…”

Elijah, who looks around with a dumbfounded expression, leaves it alone for now and checks the contents of the sack.

[ The Ghost of Gregory House ]

[ Item: Epic ]

[ It is a thought body that contains the soul of a legendary figure. By granting it to equipment, you can come into contact with that person. ]

[ Ectoplasm Blob ] x3

[ Material: Special ]

[It is an unknown substance secreted only by creatures in the Underworld. Depending on the catalyst, certain properties can be maximized. ]

right.

The Ghost of Gregory’s Hall is an item that will be used as a material for my exclusive equipment, and the ectoplasm chunk can be used as a material for the ‘cannon’ commissioned by Percy.

‘…It’s fine.’

Although it was risky, this was a very good harvest.

“Teacher.”

As I was thinking about that, Elijah, who was stuttering next to me, brought up such a word.

“…No way, did you plan this all from the beginning?”

“uh? What?”

“So, go up to the other side world, get that unknown something, get chased by something, and be safe like this, no, I don’t know the principle. Anyway, did you know from the beginning that this was going to happen?”

“…right?”

OK, so why not?

It is a fairly famous technique among the ancient people of Sera, called ‘Gregory Hall Ghost Early Farming Method’. If you have the conditions right, you can do it much easier than you think.

In addition, it is a widely used method because you can additionally obtain the finest material, ectoplasm.

“Then why didn’t you tell me from the beginning?”

“…Perhaps if I had told you, you wouldn’t have followed me?”

yes.

I’m sorry, but it really is.

I was sure it would be safe, but if I were to have such a spectacular experience, wouldn’t anyone come?

“…then why did you need me in the first place?”

“Because I don’t have enough hands.”

“Yes?”

“I had to fill at least three bags of these white things, but I didn’t have enough hands on my own-”

[The target ‘Elijah’ is affected by you and has a fierce anger at the target ‘Dawud’! ]

[ Negative effects are imprinted! ]

[ Receiveable rewards are given! ]

[Skill: Dominion of Evil is activated. You get 1 command right that can be used on the target! ]

“…”

Well.

As soon as the order is used, it is refilled.

Is it buggy?

“Just, barely, with that kind of thing, doing this hellish thing, hoo, hoo hoo…”

Elijah, who said that while stuttering, glared at me.

The eyes were out of focus.

…scary.

“sorry. I will apologize.”

“If it seems that everything will be resolved with a verbal apology from a person, why does the world need a law-!”

“I’ll do anything you ask for.”

This is the promise I made earlier when this guy apologized to me.

I have to give it back sometime.

In fact, as soon as he heard this, Elijah, who was getting angry, stopped momentarily.

“…anything?”

“anything.”

The boy scratched his cheek awkwardly.

Then he pouted his lips and held out his pinky finger to me.

“Then I promise.”

“yes?”

“Thumb and index finger. promise.”

“…”

Are you a child

But when asked to do it, he does it without saying anything.

When I put my little finger on it and put my thumb on it, he smiled widely.

‘…they just look after me with something like this.’

Should I say it’s simple?

“…swimming. It looks alike.”

“yes?”

“I used to do it often with my older brother. like this.”

Having said that, Elijah quickly walked away from me.

His face was still smiling wide.

“…just looking at the teachers, they say they want to do something like this for no reason.”

However.

As for the sentence behind it, no doubt.

It was a mixture of all sorts of complex emotions.

●

‘…A really strange person.’

Elijah, who had been looking at Dawood as he packed up his sacks and disappeared, saying he had somewhere to go, turned his gaze to his hand.

It’s the pinky finger I just walked with Daoud. His warmth still lingers.

I kind of messed around with that part.

“…”

Without saying a word, she recalled the situation from before.

The time when an unidentified giant monster approached him with its mouth wide open.

‘At once, it calmed down.’

I was so scared.

I thought I was going to die like that.

When that guy tells me to calm down, he says I’ll be fine.

It really felt like that.

I feel like the sentence is being dug into my heart.

‘Strange. Strange, strange.’

On the outside, he is an indifferent human being. It seems that the words are just spit out roughly.

But if you stay around for a little while, you’ll see that you always see what others don’t see.

And above all.

Whenever it’s decisive, I often do things that get stuck in people’s hearts.

‘A little bit similar?’

The brother who remained in her heart, always remained a fucking blood relative.

He’s mischievous, insensitive, and usually can only play silly pranks, and sometimes when I see him, I wonder if there’s another blunt guy like him.

But at the same time.

No matter what adversity, always stand up and overcome it.

No matter how strong the opponent is, never compromise.

Above all.

Whenever she is in any danger, he always runs to save her.

He was also her only hero in the world.

Did you say that every time?

‘calm down. it’s okay.’

Called.

“…”

And, oddly enough.

After going through the previous situation, that man named Daud strangely reminds me of him-

“aa-!”

Elijah groaned and slapped his cheeks with both hands.

‘Crazy, crazy!’

Where do you compare that brother with that person over there!

He is someone else’s man in the first place! That person said he likes Princess Tristan! It is disrespectful to my brother to make such a harsh comparison to a person connected with such a fucking family!

“annoying! Teacher, the dog is really annoying!”

okay. That person is annoying!

-calm down. are you okay.

“…”

When he remembered the voice he had heard earlier, the voice died down for a moment. Still, Elijah shook his head and shouted again at the top of his voice.

“Teacher, I really hate dogs!”

The sound Elijah made with his face reddened echoed loudly around him.

It was as if he was trying to force the voice that was coming from within himself.

●

“aa-!”

“annoying! Teacher, the dog is really annoying!”

“Teacher, I really hate dogs!”

“…”

As I was dragging the sack, I heard that echo from afar.

‘How mad are you…?’

Next time, yes. I should apologize properly.

Or I could really die…?
