The immortals who thought they would jump out did not come out for a long time. The regressor made the world’s most imposing stalking declaration, saying he would follow their trends, and went away.
Thanks to you, I have a little bit of time left.
I sat down in the corner of the yard and pulled out a deck of cards. I squeezed the deck slightly with my thumb and forefinger, and then scraped it with my fingertips.
Pararack.
Then the card, which had been suppressed in my right hand, ran out in search of freedom. Pararak. As they ran out one after another, even the last piece escaped the tyranny of the right hand and was held in the arms of the left hand.
One, there is no paradise where you escape.
The left hand, which had been carefully embraced until now, eventually revealed its true color and became the same monster as the right hand. The spine of the stack of cards was curved like a bow. The stack of cards, struggling to escape again, took a break and returned to the right hand that had left a while ago.
I was in the middle of moving a deck of cards with both hands like that.
“You have good dexterity.”
Tyr’s voice was heard. Tyr, still wearing a black parasol on his shoulders, and sitting on a large coffin, gently stopped in front of me, sat down lightly and approached me.
I smiled and grabbed the card at once. The card, which fluttered like a butterfly, folded its wings and held its breath like a pupa in my hand.
“Is this just enough? I’m sorry, but it’s as easy as making a 5 year old cry after stealing candy and rolling his eyes. If I show my sincerity, I might be embarrassed.”
Tyr laughed softly as he covered his mouth with his curled hand in response to the clever reply.
“Why does an adult make a child cry?”
“uh? Don’t you feel like that sometimes? Am I the only one?”
“You shouldn’t do that either.”
“really? When you see a child who rolls his eyes and tries to avoid an immediate crisis with an obvious lie that shows his insides, don’t you want to point out that lie, even if it’s disgusting?”
Even though it was a joking question, Tyr thought seriously.
How will she react when a little child tries to deceive you with a trick that doesn’t work? Tyr, who thought about each one seriously and repeated simulations, soon came to a conclusion.
“I would not do that.”
“Wow, really?”
“then. Wouldn’t the only thing to gain from pointing out a child’s lies would be inferior pleasure. When you are older, you should behave a little more noble.”
Ohh. low pleasure. low heat… .
low fever?
“what? Are you going to take it back because I have a bad personality?”
“Actually, isn’t your personality on the gentle side?”
Tyr said playfully and laughed. There was a lot of meanness towards me.
Uh-huh, now it’s enough to make fun of you, right?
great. where.
“Tir. We make a bet.”
“betting?”
“yes. I will hide the card, so Tyr will find it.”
He drew cards and handed them without looking at the deck. Tyr received it with curious eyes and looked back and forth.
The back has a regular pattern that is no different from other cards. The shape was also symmetrical, so even when turned over, it was impossible to distinguish the top and bottom. Two bright red hearts were drawn on the front, and the number 2 was written on it.
To see if there was something hidden, Tyr tried to rub the card with his finger, but the card was fine. Tyr said as he looked at the card back and forth.
“It doesn’t seem like there’s something cheating.”
“The card is plain. I swear on my honor as a magician.”
“You don’t have to. If I didn’t notice it in advance, it would be my lack of ability.”
In the days when past knowledge was not given, knowledge was power, and it was taken for granted to suffer ignorance. Tyr, who lived at that time, said so sincerely.
Of course, I was sincere.
“no. It should be fair, at least when it comes to tools. It’s no fun to bet with tricks that only I know.”
“If so.”
Tyr nodded and asked, returning the card to me.
“okay. If it’s a bet, there must be a reward. What will you bet on?”
“One wish. how about it?”
“… wish?”
‘If it’s a wish, anything… ? then.’
For a moment, Tyr’s eyes became as red as blood. With goosebumps on my back, I added hastily.
“Of course, within common sense that we can understand each other! obviously!”
“… iced coffee. That’s right. i get it.”
… thank god. It seems that a little while ago, Tyr had a wish to turn me into a vampire. Even if I die, I can’t die, and I can be with you forever… .
Anyway. Tyr accepted my offer.
“okay. Where are you going to try?”
“👑👑. good. Come on, get ready to be surprised with your mouth wide open in front of the new generation of craftsmanship.”
“Don’t be heartbroken even if I guess it’s too easy for you. Your opponent is just too bad.”
“I will return that same word. If you feel like you’ve been scammed, don’t be too embarrassed.”
Putting the rest of the deck on the ground, he opened his hands wide to emphasize that he had nothing hidden in his hand. Tyr nodded after confirming.
After that, I picked up two hearts with only two fingers.
“Ego. going.”
“okay. Try it.”
Tyr’s eyes shone even more red. It was to increase my eyesight so as not to miss even a single action of mine.
live up to expectations I smiled confidently and started moving the cards around.
From left to right, right to left.
As the card spins, it goes back and forth between the left and the right hand busily.
Like a drunken butterfly, or like a fallen leaf blown by a whirlwind. Tyr’s expression as he watched the cards move in a jumbled way became more and more strange.
‘… You look so good than I thought.’
The red eyes are constantly moving. It’s not trembling, it’s chasing my card. Even if it shakes, even if it suddenly stretches out of sight and comes back, even if it hides behind the back of your hand and is not visible for a while.
The piercing red eyes followed my card moment by moment.
‘Obviously it’s dazzling… You look too good for that. It’s not that fast, it’s dizzy, but the movement is simple.’
“…ね!”
I let out an anxious moan. My fingers trembled with tension, and I almost missed a card halfway through. Each time, I barely grabbed it again and moved the card desperately.
And at some point.
After momentarily crossing both hands, he hid the card in his hand through the gap in his vision and held it out.
I shouted with an awkward smile.
“braided! Where are you?”
“ah… .”
Tyr sighed a little. Red eyes glanced up at me briefly, then flickered my left hand.
She had a very troubled look, not because she missed a card… On the contrary, it was captured so perfectly.
‘I’m sorry, Hugh… everything was seen Crossing both hands and pretending to hide, putting it in the sleeve of the left hand.’
Vampires can even control their eyes with blood. The red eyes, which flickered rapidly under the aid of hematopoiesis, tracked even the flashy movements that ordinary eyes could not follow and would have missed until the end.
Tyr hesitated to say an answer, fearing that I would not be embarrassed.
‘Shouldn’t have put my eyes on it? I was seduced by the word “sowon” and took it too seriously… .’
“hahaha. Was it a little difficult? it’s okay. Don’t be disappointed. There is no business in presbyopia.”
‘… However, there are times when it is not good to pretend to be good in the world, so where should I show you that the world is easy?’
One word was enough to change my mind. Tyr, furious, pointed a finger at my left hand.
“Put out your left hand.”
“Left hand! Did you say left hand? There is no brittleness! Well, indeed! Is it your left hand? Check in! Salty, salty, salty, salty.”
I immediately spread my left hand. Naturally, and as Tyr expected, there was nothing in his left hand.
“… like that! That’s sad! There was nothing in my left hand! The card must have been in your right hand! Ego. You’re wrong, so I win the bet… .”
“No, the left sleeve.”
“Ugh!”
Tyr pressed my sleeve correctly, and I let out a gasp.
I was sweating profusely, avoiding my gaze.
“Others, others, the left sleeve? what is that?”
“Here, can’t you see?”
Tyr kindly grabbed my left hand and twisted it to reveal the sleeves. A card was looming across the sleeve.
Evidence that can’t be taken out or beaten. In a situation where you have to find a hammer right away if you are caught on the gambling board.
I smiled and shrugged.
“Look. shallow lie. You can’t get it out without putting it on, right?”
Well, there are many reasons.
You want to know the bitter taste of the world, or because you do the same thing, or because you don’t want to suffer simply because of a low desire.
It is up to you to paste it, but if you witness a lie in front of you, you will want to reveal it. It is close to the instinct that everyone has.
Tyr asked with a hopeful expression.
“Did you make a bet to say that?”
“It’s similar. Tyr, how funny was I? If you are staring at it, shamelessly hiding it, and pretending not to know. I can’t get it out without grabbing it and showing it to me, right?”
I can’t say no. Because that’s exactly what Tyr was doing now.
Tyr replied with a smirk.
“You’ve been completely blown away. But, aren’t you a child?”
“Compared to Tyr, he’s like a child. Assuming that the human lifespan is 100 years old, I am only twenty-four years old if I use the Tirkanjaka age comparison method. yes.”
Tyr, who stared at me, pursed his lips and pulled the card out of my sleeve.
“okay. You are right. Apparently, I wasn’t quite as noble as I was. don’t admit it Anyway, I found where I hid the cards, so this bet is my win… .”
Saying so, it was when Tyr turned the card over.
Tyr’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the front.
“… uh?”
Where did the two hearts drawn on the pure white background go, and there, the solemn queen, who seemed to have been drawn by someone new, was holding flowers and looking straight ahead.
Heart Queen.
That card was definitely different from the one I had picked up.
When Tyr, who had been looking at me possessed, turned to look at me, I pointed to the right hand that was still curled up.
“I’m going to say something I haven’t been able to say before. It must have been on the right hand! Voila!”
I opened my right hand while making a sound effect with my mouth. The Heart 2, which Tyr had to find, was curled up in the palm of his right hand.
Tyr looked at the cards in his hand and mine in embarrassment. Toward her, who was still feeling confused, I bowed deeply, feeling a noble pleasure.
“Well, you have to overcome it to be called a magician.”
Tyr asked with a bewildered face.
“Uh, how did you do it?”
“Don’t teach me. Revealing tricks to the world is not something a magician should do.”
When blood flows, your vision narrows. This was a story that also applied to Tyr.
In order to gain one, one must give up one.
The prey, who had a wide field of vision to spot a predator who did not know where it might come from, was instead unable to properly recognize when something approached in front of her.
On the other hand, predators who turned their eyes forward to pursue one of their prey targets to the end suffered the penalty of not being able to see the back of their head unless they turned their heads.
Humans are undeniably predators. Among the predators that prey on such human blood, Tyr, a predator, focused his blood in his eyes and followed my card. His ability was so great that even I couldn’t take my eyes off her completely.
So I cheated from the beginning.
While the Queen of Hearts herself lured the Queen of Shadows, Heart 2 slowly hid on the back of my hand and only showed up late.
“A person who can’t deceive others can’t just say that he’s caught up with someone else’s tricks, right?”
Well, this is mostly due to mind-reading, but that’s it.
I already have mind-reading, and I am mind-reading. We’ve been together all our lives, how can we separate?
In the first place, if you couldn’t read other people’s thoughts, you wouldn’t even notice the tricks they had hidden so deep.
“Awesome… That’s right. To be honest, I still don’t know what happened. I thought you were definitely following me.”
Tyr clasped her hands tightly and exclaimed in admiration. I like that people here are honest in their reactions.
Confused, I rubbed my nose in response.
“hahaha. Are you thinking of how to grant my wish?”
“By the way, huh.”
“yes?”
Tyr raised his head cautiously and said, pointing to the Queen of Hearts he was holding in his hand.
“This is not two hearts drawn, but… . Isn’t this also hiding the card?”
“uh?”
“Then the bet must have been me.”
“what?”
Let’s stay still. what did i say
‘I told you to find the card because I’m hiding it, obviously. This is not a two-drawn card, but what is hidden is hidden. Then I did find the hidden card. then… .’
Oh? right?
“Why did I say that?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
I know. what? Did you want to grant a wish?
After meticulously recalling the conditions, I finally nodded.
“I heard you are right. I can’t logically refute it.”
“Then you will have to grant my wish.”
“a. Still, there is the pride of the sijo. Are you trying to say something like this while being completely deceived?”
nod.
Tyr nodded his head coldly. As if feeling better, Tyr’s eyes came back to life.
Well, it doesn’t matter. Tyr, who pretends to be noble, won’t say strange wishes. Then it’s cut.
At that time, I could feel the popularity inside the prison. I put my cards together and got up.
“I’ll hear your wish later. The person I was waiting for has arrived.”
Shortly thereafter, an undead and an officer appeared from the prison. The immortals were stroking their stomachs after eating an extravagant meal, and the officer came out to the yard with the immortals in front.
great. Will Lieutenant Colonel Callis be able to be honest with himself?
Preparation is over. Now all you have to do is watch.
His ‘real’ personality is starting to leak out.
