Episode 118 Interlude.(1)

“Adele Schneider. No, should I call it carmine gin?”
“I thought I had been hiding it for quite some time.”
“It did. Hearing that, it seems that you have no intention of being arrested docilely.”
“You can’t come all the way here and get caught.”
A weight was placed on Adele’s eyes.
His legs were also ready to step forward at any time, and it looked like he had a lot of energy.
“Release your boundaries, phoenix. I didn’t come here to fight you. I don’t know if it was when I was ‘Carmine’ instead of ‘Adele’, but I’m not interested in you now.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Right now, there is a good chance. However, you already know that it is pointless to win against you. Besides, there’s no reason to do anything so burdensome to catch you, who’s worth nothing anymore.”
“Then, explain why you came to me first.”
“Initial No.7 Everlasting, announcing that the wanted order for ‘Carmine Jin’ has been lifted. You are free as of today.”
“It’s just a pun. I am no longer Carmine Jean, but Adele Schneider.”
As a Carmine and Adele, he knew what it meant.
It means that it is not the lifting of the wanted order for the phoenix itself.
It’s because Cosmos was the only one with the power to get rid of the name of a boy on the outskirts.
“If you fulfill one contract, I will also promise you the freedom of Adele Schneider.”
“No specification. After all, even if I lift the wanted order a while ago, I can be guaranteed enough freedom. Considering how quiet we have been so far.”
“After hearing it, the story will be different. It’s about Jung Ho-kyung.”
Adele no, Carmine still remembered him.
Because it was he who killed him, who was an ex-Cheonma and close friend.
Therefore, it was a taboo for Carmine even after many years had passed.
Because he was also the one who made him into a heavenly demon.
“Don’t talk about that guy’s name… I am not as merciful as you think.”
“There are rumors circulating that he is alive. Do you have any guesses?”
As soon as those words were finished, the heat that burned the earth began to cover the surroundings.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Most of the objects had already turned to ashes, leaving no by-products, and the metal had completely melted and nothing was holding its shape properly.“I killed Jung Ho-kyung with my own hands. Of course, it was said that he was young, but he wasn’t so dull that he couldn’t even tell if he was alive or dead at that time.”
The man noticed that he could not believe that the Phoenix still had such power.
Because I only thought of him as a tiger on the outskirts without teeth.
And it was also known to the public.
But, that’s just ‘known’ to the end.
In the first place, senility could not exist for him, who was repeatedly reincarnated.
“You don’t seem to have any intention of putting out the fire, so I’ll just tell you the last news and disappear. Jung Ho-kyung is clearly the one you killed. Resurrected by someone. Remember the name ‘Dream Liberator’. That will be the clue to the case.”
At that moment, a column of blue light soared from the floor, ripping everything out of sight.
The phoenix was aiming for, but he managed to get out of range and save his life.
“It’s your choice whether or not you fulfill the contract anyway, so do what you like. However, we must have obtained information on his survival and will proceed with the operation accordingly. If you don’t want to lose a player… You will have to hurry.”
He disappeared in an instant, leaving only what he had to say.
All that was left was Adele and a pile of powder that had lost their color and shape to the flames.

Ho-Kyung Jung is still alive, what the hell happened?
It wasn’t just anger that took over.
Doubts also began to take place.
There is no doubt about Jung Ho-kyung’s death.
Because I killed my life with my own hands, and I clearly saw with my own two eyes that I had stopped breathing.
So, if we dared to assume that Ho-Kyung Jung was still alive, there was a much greater chance that he would have been revived, as the guy from a while ago had said.
However, it was kind of strange to even think about it.
If I tried to revive Jeong Ho-gyeong, who had been pulled out of the celestial celestial body (?????), the succession-type ideological power that is the essence of a heavenly demon, there was no benefit. What is the reason for saving him?
Even if there is something to be gained by surviving it in the first place, Jeong Ho-kyung’s graveyard is in a location that no one knows except me.
There were too many things that didn’t make sense to me to just understand and pass on.
… First of all, if you visit Jeong Ho-kyung’s tomb, you will find the answer.
There is no way more sure than that.

Serena realized that sooner or later she had to leave to face Jinjo, and began to cling to me even more.
I understand that he suffered from loneliness since he had been imprisoned for less than a day or two.
However, despite the fact that she is a professor, she had no choice but to distance herself from Serena, thinking that it would be better to be a little self-respecting.
Sometimes I think it’s just a joke.
I heard a heinous threat that I might bite you if I kept avoiding it, but I ignored it because I thought it might be.
What if you really ask?
If you were bitten by those teeth, only the bones would come out frugally.
While she was in a very serious trouble in her own way, Priscilla, who was sticking her head out, came closer.
“Do you think the operation is going well as planned?”
“so so. I still can’t give you a definitive answer. Esmeralda-sama is busy like Esmeralda-sama, and she is in the process of negotiating a disagreement with Cecilia. By the way, Priscilla, are you in a strangely good mood these days?”
“I was feeling a little confident. Do you have that confidence that you can do well now?”
“Well, it seems like you’ve only been focusing on practice lately, but you seem to have found a sense.”
“Yeah, I’m sure we’ll be able to see results in this operation.”
Priscilla opened her chest and said.
I was relieved a little when I saw that I was depressed every day, and then saw that I regained my original form.
But, how much has he grown so much that he likes him so much?
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to check Priscilla’s skill after a long time.
Of course, the level I’m going to check is long gone.
“Then, shall we check it out? How much you have grown.”
“No, you should be surprised to see this for yourself later.”
“Then don’t.”
He pretended to be okay on the outside, but in reality it was a little disappointing.
At first glance, I didn’t notice much of a difference when I went to and from the training ground.
“and… Thank you for your consideration.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“It’s just that I got a lot. Guns, as well as custom-made bullets. Both are expensive and difficult to obtain, but they were given to me to use.”
“Okay, do you think the gun fits your hand well?”
“Yeah, I’m completely used to it now. Comfortable and good.”
I’ll have to send a separate thank you to that South African man later.
thank you it was well written
It’s good to hear about the mysterious white stone.
“I’m glad. What if I feel uncomfortable?”
“Since you gave it to me, even if it didn’t fit, I must have adapted it somehow. It’s not really that difficult.”
Clearly, Priscilla has a different charm from Aina.
When I was with Aina, it was mainly me who was swayed and raised, then I must say that Priscilla has the taste I teach.
First of all, the reaction feels a little more lively.
I tried to kiss the forehead with a curious mind, but since the height difference between me and Priscilla wasn’t that great in the first place, I only had to raise my head, which was ridiculous.
“I want you to praise me this way.”
Their lips clashed with each other.
It feels more like a kiss, rather than a kiss that is commonly thought of.
It feels like this is new.
I’ve never had a light kiss that doesn’t intertwin the tongue so far, so I got the impression that it was fresh.
Because it wasn’t the usual kiss to exchange, crave, and confirm love.
Rather, it should be said that it is a feeling that I can do it more because I trust it.
Just like kissing is the most naughty physical contact a child can come up with.
Of course, I’ve heard that kids these days are different.
“Good. I will do that. But, you’ve been looking at me since. Weren’t you trying to say something?”
“Oh, right. I was going to show you this.”
What Priscilla offered me was a fountain pen that looked quite old.
The nib had already been crushed, and the color could not be peeled off, revealing the metal’s natural faded color.
When I looked closely, wondering why he was suddenly offering me this kind of thing, the words ‘MERCURY’ caught my eye.
The completely worn out engraving was so faint that at first I was skeptical as to whether it was Mercury or not, but Mercury’s unique logo was proving that it was correct.
“Why are you giving this to me? It’s an old thing, so it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Jinjo.”
“Open the back.”
You’re going to get this as a real thing.
It’s a fountain pen gun from the 007 series.
It was something I really wanted to have.
“Will it still work?”
“No, I won’t do it because it’s been too long.”
“I’m sorry. I wanted something like this.”
“Anyway, there’s a reason I showed you this. This was one of the few things my brother never lent me. At that time, I thought it was because it was simply an expensive and breakable fountain pen, so I didn’t lend it to anyone else… ”
It didn’t take me long to understand what that meant.
“Yeah, this isn’t the real Mercury, it’s just an elaborate imitation made to be used in case of an emergency on a mission. What if the person who picked it up mistakenly thought it was real Mercury and fell into the hands of Mercury?”
In the worst case, it is possible that Hilda also obtained information about Cosmos.
… They were much more sophisticated than I thought.
Because I’ve been designing this for a long time.
“It’s more complicated than I expected.”
“Yeah, you must be suspicious of the possibility that the unusually hospitable treatment of various celebrities and VIP members was that purpose from the beginning.”
At this point, I even doubted whether the company called Mercury itself was founded with such a purpose.
It fits so well that it’s close to speculation, so even if you don’t want to doubt it, you have no choice but to do it.
“What should I do.”
“I think I have no choice but to borrow the hand of the chairman for this.”
“I should. We can’t afford it in our line. It would be the same even if I borrowed Cecilia’s power.”
“Come with me. I will help you.”

My heart is at easeChloe, who had rejected me once before, will not suddenly change her mind about going with Priscilla.
Still, if you don’t know, you should go first.
