Finlay continued to annoy Aji several times.
When he said something, he interrupted his pulse with sounds like ‘Uh-huh’ or ‘Uh-huh’, and when a regressor or Aji tried to raise his fist, he would run away or use a vampire as his shield.
It’s annoying, but it’s not like I’ve done anything wrong to the point of death, and it’s a little bit of a vampire behind me to give it away. An ambiguous sensation, unable to spit or swallow, came out and tormented the returnee.
Suffering builds bonds. Because of just one Finlay, me and the regressors, who seemed to never find each other for the rest of their lives, gathered in one place.
“Hey, the annoying thing has increased to two. If you keep going like this, you will die of stress. I have to deal with one somehow.”
“Two outlines? I know one is Finlay, but who is the other one?”
“you.”
“What kind of haircut!”
When I shouted in rage, the returner folded his arms and said,
“You two are alike. Interfering without interruption, and acting as you please with the protection of Tirkanzaka. Wasn’t it completely similar to riding in a narrow line while acting arbitrarily?”
“I will tolerate any kind of insult, but I will never admit it. No, I don’t.”
I am infinitely merciful, but there is an end to my patience. Comparing me to Finlay would be considered an attack on me. He responded slowly to the returner’s words.
“Review yourself! Interfering without even trying? It’s a student Shay’s hobby! Getting the protection of a Tirkanjaka trainee? Who made a relationship with the Sijo? behaving erratically? If you had to name the most selfish person in this abyss, you would have to look in the mirror first!”
“ha?”
“It’s completely out of place! How about changing the name of this charm? Not Finlay, but Pinshay! That’s right! When you see the two of them, you can see that they are a very married couple!”
“What kind of bullshit are you and a couple like that?!”
The regressor, who felt the worst since I descended into the abyss, suddenly recalled his setting and said:
“Again, I am a man!”
Ah, that was the setting. I forgot about it for a while, but fortunately there is a way to explain it.
“yes. He is a man who likes men.”
“hey!! that!”
“I think it’s funny. He said he liked a man, but he gets angry when he mentions it. What’s wrong? Are you ashamed of your taste for what you said?”
In front of me, armed with the theory of truth, the regressor couldn’t say anything and just roared around.
Don’t fight a fight you can’t win. You’ve never beat me with words, so why do you keep saying it?
I said picking my ears.
“I’m sorry, but please don’t like me by any chance. If you’re a student of Shay, you might not care if that’s true, but I really hate being misunderstood like that. I am just an ordinary person with ordinary tastes.”
“don’t worry! Even if the sky falls, that won’t happen!”
The regressor who shot sharply crossed his arms again and murmured.
“Anyway, I would like to get rid of you, but it would be easier to deal with Finlay than that. At least we have to stop it from squirming around.”
“Isn’t it a bit unfair to say that you want to get rid of it in front of the listener?”
“I said so.”
The returner, who answered slyly, muttered to himself.
‘I came down to the abyss thinking that there was going to be a war. Probably the most radical of the main waves. As long as you know that a great war will break out in the future, don’t keep Tirkanzaka close to the main wave vampires. Whether it be persuasion or intimidation, you have to shake it off.’
What is it, returner? You said it was easy to deal with in words, but you had unexpectedly deep thoughts, didn’t you?
On the other hand, the reason I wanted to get rid of Finlay was simply ‘I don’t like it’. a bit of a comparison.
Hmm. There is no way my ordinary and good-natured personality is worse than a regressor. Have I been corrupted because I’ve been in the abyss for too long? I’ll have to be careful in the future.
“But, you know? Finlay looks like that, but it’s Yaling. The monarch Elder, who inherited the blood of the ancestors, and their descendants, the elite Ain, are the vampires in the next rank. Yaling isn’t uncommon, but if it’s a red blood ball line, they’ll recognize it from this side as well.”
“Yeah, it’s a little bit. You and I can handle a guy like that easily.”
Only you, not me? I need a holy grenade or something to deal with that.
When there was no answer, the returnee looked at me suspiciously and ignored my silence, thinking that it was an affirmation that did not need to be answered.
“Besides, that’s the guy who came for war. It wouldn’t be nice to be close to Tirkanjaka… .”
stand tall.
The returner remembered something other than talking.
‘wait. This guy didn’t accept the offer to get Finlay out. Rather, I wanted to keep it here. There must be no reason.’
huh? there’s a reason Actually, I have no way to get Finlay out.
‘By the way, the military’s actions have always been to instigate and intervene in wars. That’s right. It must be part of the plan to imprison the Sijo.’
No, I don’t know… . To say that, something caught on.
Apparently the golem controlled by Captain Abbie said it. There must be no war ‘yet’.
Conversely, it means that war must happen ‘someday’. It means that the vampires who spend their free time in the abyss are also part of the military’s war plan.
What are you planning, military commander? Can you afford it? Apparently, according to the regressor’s thoughts, there must be a great war in the future.
After thinking that far, I immediately turned my attention off. hey what Everyone knows that the military is preparing for war, unless you are an idiot, how important would it be? It’s like saying it will snow this winter.
What’s more important now.
“… I’m thinking of taking Finlay away from Tirkanjaka. You better not disturb me.”
‘We must stop the war. Even to prevent them from taking advantage of war to rampage. What if this man blocks my way? Then.’
This regressor who spreads his desire to live towards me.
Now, what should I do? uhm.
Okay, let’s do this here.
“Are you going to disturb me? I helped if I helped, why am I disturbing Shay trainee?”
“In retrospect, it’s all because of you that Finlay couldn’t get out of the abyss. You said so, and now you’re cooperating with me? It doesn’t make sense.”
The returner didn’t even wait for my answer, and said with a look that looked like he was about to cut me off at any moment.
“Are you going to disturb me?”
It’s not a bad reasoning, but it’s wrong.
As my sister and sister tell me, I just didn’t want to be found out that I was a trivial laborer.
But since I can’t tell you this, I waved my hand with a bright smile.
“Ahahaha. That’s how you accepted it. Be naive.”
“What?”
The regressor still looked at me with open eyes and snorted as if to make an excuse.
“Think differently. Now, I said that to keep Finlay here. Stay here and stay close to the Tirkanjaka trainees.”
“I know. Because I was there.”
“Are you going to believe what I said back then? Did you have so much trust in me?”
The returner’s eyes widen. With my eyes wide open, there is no day like before. Instead, he came to doubt.
‘… Did you have any other secrets? But from that man’s point of view, is there any other benefit to having Finlay with Tirkanjaka?’
“Don’t take my word for it, think only of the consequences of what I did. Then you will see that we have no reason to be hostile.”
Instead of speaking bluntly, I sprinkled rice cakes. Like a piece of bread scattered on a path, it waits for the opponent to follow the flow, picking up the clues one by one.
‘for a moment. Maybe I’m wrong. If that man’s goal isn’t to attach Finlay and Tirkanzaka… What if it were to make Finlay stay here?’
So, even though I just followed the clues I gave, I have no doubts about the answer I got through ‘trying’ anyway.
Because, your efforts should be rewarded. The puzzle you put together must be beautiful, and the answer you come up with with your head wrapped around it must be perfect.
That’s human psychology. The same was true for returnees.
‘Are you imprisoned by Finlay to prevent information from leaking out? If Finlay goes out to the ground and spreads it everywhere, the forces that want to use Tirkanjaka may move!’
The regressor made his own conclusions and was thrilled. It seems like he is trying to hide it from others, but a proud smile appears on his lips.
What if you knew the truth? I simply didn’t have the power to get him out. I’m curious again.
Well, anyway.
“Not everyone in the military wants war. We could be friends.”
Once he succeeded in allaying the vigilance of the returner. The returner was still skeptical, but relaxed enough to ask me for an opinion.
“Do you have any plans?”
“It’s convincing.”
“persuade? only?”
‘Isn’t it kidnapping, intimidation, or alienation?’
I changed my mind. No matter how I think about it, I think I have a better personality than him.
“… I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking, but first we have to take the most general measures.”
“great. Let me convince you.”
“yes?”
“I know how to persuade. Anyway, now that I am a disciple, it would be much easier to say that.”
Hmm. It’s not very reliable, but his will is so strong, let’s watch it for now.
I muttered anxiously.
“… Just in case, can you cut off your arm? Even if I was a vampire, I would feel bad.”
“Who do you know as a psychopath?!”
“How did know?”
***
After deciding to persuade Tirkanjaka.
After taking a deep breath, the regressor walked towards the vampire alone. I hid behind a not-so-distant corner and watched it.
“Tirkanjaka. Wait, I have something to tell you.”
The persuasion of a returnee is a rare sight. I don’t believe it because it gives the impression that if there is adversity, it is often solved with power or money rather than words, but the opponent is a regressor who has gone through all the troubles before childbirth. It’s not strange to have abilities I don’t know about. Where can I see how well you speak?
“Don’t meet Finlay!”
… ?
what is this. Why is the word choice different? Are you a daughter who hates stepdad? Are you begging me not to remarry?
“… ? It’s sudden. How are you?”
A question that comes out of nowhere. It’s a very natural reaction. On the other hand, the regressor’s response.
“Anyway! He said he wanted to go to war! War is bad! It’s dangerous!”
hey. returner. Use your vocabulary. are you a foreigner Or did you usually live your life not mixing well with people?
No, you were only talking to me about things like that, right? I can’t possibly Stop talking and read your thoughts ahead of time.
‘Before I return, you go to war with a wreckage. It’s a bloody battle where no one benefits. There is only one thing waiting for the end, the ruin of everything. I’m trying to prevent that future, and for that, it’s better for you to stay away from war.’

My thoughts are normal, but why are you talking like that? What the hell is wrong with this regressor?
iced coffee. I know a little bit.
I tried not to announce the fact of the return, so there was a hole in the logic I was trying to spread, and while I was trying to force it, it was changed to such childish words.
It’s getting a little bit sad now. what about that
“I thought you would know. Finlay is my far lower class. You can’t even go against my will.”
“know! However!”
“And I never overturn a decision I made. A person with heavy shoulders has to be blunt even to speak. I’m not going to change this for a while. I understand what you’re trying to say, so keep it short.”
The returner nodded his head a few times, then turned around and returned to the corner where I was hiding. Then he flinched and reported to me.
“That’s right.”
“Well, I’m sorry I made an unreasonable request. In the future, avoid persuasion and try to solve it with power or money as much as possible.”
‘yes? I feel bad for something. Are you sarcastic?’
When you are thinking about this, I understand how miserable your communication skills are. The world this returner has to save is pitiful.
I sighed and walked out.
“Wait there. A master of psychological warfare, a magician who plays with the human heart, and a secret agent who forms a secret relationship with a Tirkanjaka trainee in a dark place. A disciple can’t get along with me. I’ll take care of it.”
“okay. you handle it what? Stalker?”
“Ouch. I’ll go and come back soon.”
Before the returner could say anything, I jumped out of the corner and quickly raised my hand and approached the vampire.
“Tirkanjaka trainee. It’s a coincidence.”
“… What the hell are you two doing?”
“hahaha. It’s a small party. Oh, would you like a massage? My fingers are in good shape today.”
Even with my offer, the vampire did not lose his doubts.
“Doesn’t your stomach look too clear? Why do you mean that the guy who usually has an unwilling attitude comes to me with his fingers upright in the first place? How could Shay keep watching over there and there?”
Why do you have doubts? This is amazing. Who said that he saw me get electrocuted and ripped open his own heart? Do you have a sense of crisis?
“So, you don’t like it?”
“… I didn’t say that. A little later, that is, when no one is watching.”
cancellation. Maybe it’s because he’s already dead, and this body doesn’t even feel threatened.
Anyway.
“I’m here to warn trainee Tirkanjaka on behalf of Trainee Shay.”
“you also?”
“It may be tiring, but advice that becomes blood and flesh. Finley, a vampire, is behind something. You better be careful.”
It was a serious statement, but the vampire took it lightly.
“I think I made Finlay hate him so much. i get it. In the future, please be careful.”
“If you are self-conscious?”
“It means that you have served me and will not bother you. He obeys my orders, and I only need to say one word.”
The vampire who thought that the reason the returner and I came was because Finlay was annoying, promised to get rid of that kind of thing.
uh?
Are you okay?
No, honestly, it’s tempting. I’m just annoyed by Finlay.
I nodded my head coldly.
“like. Yes, if you do.”
“Oh, wait. What time can I come to you?”
“When did you come to see the time? Come when you like.”
“okay.”
Whoa. This is a win-win. I returned with a happy face.
Then the returner, who was leaning against the wall, looked up at me with a cold expression.
“What are you doing?”
“yes? Human triumph.”
“What is human victory? Instead of solving anything, you only had time for a secret meeting with Tirkanjaka!”
“I didn’t have time. He said he would come over there.”
“That’s it! Not at all! I don’t want to know!”
“Are you asking Ji?”
“Chiit, anyway! If you decide to cooperate, do it right!”
pushed back again I trembled and pushed myself back in front of the vampire. awkward eye contact
The vampire sighed.
“I have no idea why I hate it so much. What was so strange? I also have a relationship with you. What reason is there not to have Finlay, my clan, by my side?”
“Uh, maybe it’s the difference in time we met? It’s inconvenient because Finlay, who hasn’t been here for a week, trusts only Tirkanjaka trainees and is so naive.”
“What does it matter? It’s been less than a month since I met you guys.”
For a vampire, a month or a week is like the blink of an eye. There will be no difference between us and Finlay.
Not having anything to say, I nodded my head.
“I think so. For a month or a week, compared to the life of a Tirkanjaka trainee, it is no different than a glowing firefly overnight. Even a human who lives an ordinary life says a month is short, but what about a 12th century girl?”
“… … ? 12th century, girl?”
“Ah. I’ll just go!”
A returnee was still waiting on the other side. But the corner isn’t the only one there. I ran towards the opposite corner.
