Small Distortion – 5
‘… … What is he?’
Rize, who had been staring blankly out of the window in her own room, had nothing to do. She opened her eyes and looked down.
It was because Shin-ib and Inerma confirmed that they were leaving the castle by themselves at this late hour. The sleep that had been slowly approaching suddenly ran away. Rize immediately jumped out of her seat and stood up.
Judging from Inerma leading the way and the newcomer following, the newcomer was not encouraged to go. In other words, it meant that the blind woman first seduced the newcomer.
‘How dare you dare to take a look at the man I first asked for without morals?’
I didn’t know why the two of them went out for what purpose, but the fact that a man and a woman went out at night was itself a problem.
For example, after wandering around outside like that, suddenly, in a dark place, our eyes met, and we could have outdoor sex on the spot.
Rize, who casually put an end to the delusion that if Erica heard it, said what kind of crazy thing was that and mercilessly slap her back, jumped out the window after the two of them.
It was a tailgating start.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I was dragged out for a night walk after receiving a sudden offer, but there was nothing to say inside, but there was no way I could say anything when I came out. We walked and walked quietly without saying a word.
He must have been unable to see, but somehow Inerma walked away casually. I was on the edge of my nerves, wondering if I would bump into them, but it seemed like a useless worry.
It was quite late, so the streets at night were quiet. Only the slowly declining moon was to light the way.
“Where are we going now?”
“There is nothing specific. It’s literally a walk. It just wanders aimlessly.”
After that, we shut up again, and the walk eventually led to a small forest inside the city. It was the forest where the moon-hanging tree I told the knight commanders was located.
The night forest gave off a rather spooky atmosphere, but I didn’t mind at all. It’s a forest where there’s nothing monsters or anything. There was no reason to be afraid of it.
The reason people are afraid of places like this is because of their creepy atmosphere, where you don’t know what might come out of it, but I already know it’s a safe place, so there’s no reason to be scared.
If something pops out here differently than I expected, it will be a bit scary from then on.
I glanced around to see if Inerma might fall. It was following my worries well.
With her head turned to the left, she was in a strange posture showing me only the back of her ear and the back of her head.
Even so, he did not stumble or stumble, and walked straight ahead.
I thought so too and walked. I don’t think I’ll come running here screaming and twisting my limbs like in some horror movie.
“… … The new knight.”
As I entered the forest and thought that quite a bit of time had passed, Inerma opened her mouth. His head was still turned to the other side. I stopped to wonder what he was trying to say.
“Aren’t you scared?”
“scared? what?”
“The actions you have taken so far.”
“… … ?”
Inerma also stopped walking. Even so, he was looking at the other side of me until the end.
“I’m not sure what that means.”
“It is literally. Aren’t the things you’ve been doing scary?”
What have you done so far? I looked back carefully.
Killing a human butcher with a single sword in prison, having a fight with Rize in an entrance exam, and subduing a headless armored cavalryman alone.
I think this is the end of what I said to Inerma.
The story of killing the lord using a book containing demons was not a story that could be told to outsiders, so I kept it quiet, and of course I had to keep my mouth shut about what happened after that.
Oh, did you tell me about beating up that golden knight? I didn’t tell her, but Rize was bragging about me, so I’m not sure.
“Why are you afraid of that?”
“It’s something you might die for. Rather scary, isn’t it natural?”
‘is it?’
I pondered for a while.
Of course, it was only when I realized that the Dyalar mode was applied at first that I was sincerely anxious about the fact that I had to beat a human butcher who had been greatly enhanced with the enemy reinforcement mode.
But if you can call it scary, that was vague again.
It was an action that he had already done thousands of times, and he was an opponent who had all the laws from one to ten in his head. So, as long as I didn’t make a mistake or go wrong, I wouldn’t die.
Of course, there is anxiety about what to do if you make a mistake. But it wasn’t a feeling of fear or fear at all.
Anxiety and fear seem to be the same, but they are different emotions.
“I didn’t think deeply about it, but I don’t think I really felt that way. If I don’t make mistakes, I won’t die, right?”
To be honest, I still haven’t fully realized that I’ve been possessed by Bryan 4.
It is not necessary to solve basic human physiological phenomena.
A horse never gets tired no matter how much it runs or how heavy it is loaded.
No matter how hard you roll your body, you don’t feel tired.
Sleep is also not essential, and I have a strong feeling that I am sleeping because I have to sleep at night.
Things that I usually skipped over saying, “It’s because it’s a game,” were unfolding right in front of my eyes, so it was too unrealistic to feel this as reality.
Someone suddenly appeared and shut down the game, and it wouldn’t be incongruous to say that it was actually the VR version of Bryn 4, but of course I couldn’t help but feel it.
“… … A mistake?”
Inerma’s tone raised questions. If you don’t make mistakes, you won’t die, you’ll wonder what the hell that means.
“Did you hear about my situation?”
“Yes, he was cursed by a witch… … .”
“I don’t know what the hell I used to be, but at least I haven’t lost anything by following my intuition and memory. In other words, if I don’t make mistakes when I copy it, I won’t die. It means that you do not think and move with your head, but move according to what your body remembers and reacts to.”
It was an excuse he had already used against the knight commanders. It means that you do not think and move with your head, but move as your body remembers.
In reality, there were a lot of patterns that were delayed when you saw and reacted, so it wasn’t completely wrong. A typical example is Caicilia’s flat hitting.
“If I don’t make a mistake in the middle of it, I’ll be safe as I’ve been doing until now. So I’m not really afraid.”
“Is that so… … .”
The girl seemed to be thinking about something for a while, then opened her mouth in a slightly creepy voice.
“No matter what lies ahead?”
“yes?”
“Would you not be afraid even if an ordeal so great that it couldn’t even be compared to now befalls you?”
“… … .”
I was speechless for a moment at an expression I had heard before.
‘An ordeal so great that it cannot even be compared to before’ was the expression the emperor used when referring to the final boss of Brunet 4 that appears near the end of the game.
The difficulty of the final boss was so extreme that it naturally took a close share in the meme.
“Maybe?”
However, that didn’t really change anything.
If he’s the same as the final boss in my memory, just beat him like you did in the game. As always, without a single mistake.
“Also… … .”
Despite my ambiguous answer, Inerma’s voice was surprisingly convinced. After that, he muttered something more, but his voice was too low to be heard.
Inerma, who kept muttering something to herself, suddenly turned her head to me.
‘what?’
It was only for a moment, but it was as if I saw a glimpse of golden pupils in those eyes.
okay. Just like the emperor.
‘Was it because of my mood… … ?’
It really was only for a very short time. Because at the very moment I blinked, wondering if I had seen it wrong, only black pupils were left where the girl’s eyes were supposed to be.
“Then let’s go back. Because I enjoyed the walk enough.”
Inerma spoke in a light voice and started to walk out of the forest without hesitation, looking the same as when she had come. I followed suit, feeling a bit embarrassed.
It was a constant feeling that something was bothering me.
“Is it?”
The central hall where all the lights in the imperial palace were turned off.
Caicilia, who was sitting on a throne overlooking the whole place, raised one corner of her mouth and smiled eerily. The golden eyes bathed in the moonlight shone fiercely.
“Did you do that too?”
A voice filled with joy echoed through the empty hall.
It was a very pleasing answer. To be precise, I didn’t like the content of the answer, I liked the attitude and behavior of the answer.
The words themselves seemed vague and uncertain, but the way they said them was confident. It didn’t feel like hesitation, and it was the way he said he should.
In other words, it means that you have a certain confidence in your own skills. The same goes for the one who has regained all of his memories.
However, if that was all, Caicilia would have been upset too. There was one more reason for Caicilia’s joy.
Caicilia also watched the scene where the new knight used the skill-checking orb from start to finish.
And, comparing before and after touching the ability confirmation orb, I noticed that my magic power had increased unbelievably. Originally, it was impossible. It was something that shouldn’t have happened.
It was clear that he was probably hiding something secret.
“finally… … I finally found what I was longing for.”
If he grows up, he will be able to fulfill his grand dreams. Rather than being weighed down by your own dreams, you will be able to handle them and achieve them together.
In this terribly empty and ephemeral world, it would be the only one that could match Caicilia.
A terrifying burst of madness erupted from Caicilia who sat on the throne.
Oh dear…
Hell yeah!!
Oopsie!
