Chapter 317 – Chapter 28 – The Climax of Saving the World (1)
I observe the results of my actions without omission.
This is a decision I made on my own, and it’s an action I have to carry on.
You can never look away
“Turn it off…!”
The sight of him choking himself and not being able to breathe.
It’s a shocking scene more than I expected.
I almost averted my eyes without realizing it.
Even though it was hard for the actions I pushed for, I had to endure it properly.
I let go of her options to resocialize her by letting her in her pleasure.
Because she definitely chose the option to end her life and get it out of my sight.
So, don’t run away from here.
“After…”
It was only after an elf finally lost all magic power and oxygen and stopped moving.
I took a deep breath that I was holding.
I don’t have a strong feeling that I killed a person, but it’s still more uncomfortable than the usual way of dealing with it.
“Oh, hello everyone.”
And all of this, many researchers were also watching.
Fighting head-to-head with Ruiko, who is considered the best in terms of force, and in the end inflicts a fatal wound.
In the end, I only gave orders, but Ruiko committed suicide.
Maybe in the eyes of those guys, I’m like a monster.
‘Not really.’
Although I have regained my current magic power, it is only my magic power.
Yurim’s stack has evaporated, so it’s impossible to manifest Yurim’s traits remotely.
In other words, there was a high possibility that I was weaker than those guys here now.
It may not be everyone, but there are quite a few people at level 10.
Maybe if I fight seriously, I’ll lose.
At best, picking up the gun over there and rubbing it somehow would be the limit.
‘…Well, I knew.’
In fact, it was the right choice not to kill Ruiko because of this.
After making it my own, and making them follow my words.
It would have been best to move the researchers using that guy’s orders.
But for the sake of that stability, I didn’t want to leave him alive until then.
To be honest, I couldn’t help it because it was essential to dig up the information earlier.
…No matter what I do, I just acted on my own.
“Because I’m going to take Asuka out from now on? I need you to help me with the preparations.”
You don’t have to worry too much though.
In the eyes of these guys, I’m a monster that can kill a level 10 elf with just a word.
I’m not going to do anything crazy to rush my orders.
“Yeah, I’ll do that.”
As they manipulated the equipment, Asuka came down right in front of me.
After that, the door opened, pouring out the full liquid inside.
Of course, Asuka who was inside.
“Wipe it off, and even put it on.”
To be honest, I wanted to do it, but Asuka’s abilities would disappear if I touched her.
Consider the possibility that there is a lunatic who uses that as an excuse to attack.
I ordered the researchers to prepare to go outside.
“…Hero?”
Asuka, who slowly opened her eyes, was spitting nonsense from her first words.
Oh no, it looks like her hair has been ruined by the long experiments.
What a pity.
“Asuka, right?”
“Of course… Ah, that’s right. I must have been saved by the hero now.”
“Hmm.”
I became afraid that I might have a real mental problem.
Asuka is essential to driving the elves out of this place.
It is also in normal, undamaged condition.
“Oh, no. You embarrass me.”
Having said that, she suddenly and very gently lifted her skirt on either side of her.
She leaned over to me and began to thank me.
No, why do you know that I saved you as soon as you wake up?
‘Well, it was this guy who sent me the letter asking me to come here and save him.’
You may have met me in other rounds or in a special form like that.
Although I was a little dissatisfied that I had no memory.
Well, I think it’s good that the story is fast.
“Follow me, I’m leaving this lab now. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
“Yes I’m okay.”
Surprisingly, there didn’t seem to be any major problems with the body.
I thought they would have done all sorts of things, such as brainwashing and drugs.
It must have been handled with care because it was such a valuable sample.
‘Well, drugs that are strong enough to brainwash are dangerous.’
Even though she looks great, Asuka is a weak taster after all.
If you brainwash such a Taste-Aware with regular drugs, your brain will be permanently out of order.
If that happens and her ability disappears, it’s a big deal for these guys.
“Hey, I didn’t know because I only saw it in the water all the time. It looks like this.”
On her pretty petite body, cat ears sticking out through her hair.
And even the extra elven ears.
It’s far from normal, but it’s because of the very innocent look.
It felt like the atmosphere was naturally lighter.
“Wear your clothes properly. Cover Miao ears especially.”
“Oh, yes!”
I deliberately set up her appearance with the impression that her elven ears are exposed, while Miao ears are invisible.
It is impossible to go directly out of this basement.
By the way, the elevator on the pillar earlier was brought down further.
I have no choice but to ride it up.
But if you take the elevator up, it’s the embassy.
After all, it will take time for her to go outside at all.
In the meantime, she has no choice but to run into people, so considering that possibility, she hid her appearance.
‘But it’s definitely because it was made by remodeling the dungeon, so I can’t get any contact.’
He must have realized by now that I had been shot, and he was very embarrassed.
I’m worried that they’ll attack me saying they’ll save me before I go back.
…I need to get out ASAP.
“Ugh.”
“Hero? What’s wrong?”
“Because it’s so predictable.”
With an atmosphere as if they would raid this place at any moment, I felt the presence of four women who were almost besieged.
After giving a simple signal, I moved towards the accommodation as quickly as possible.
After confirming that no suspicious person was following me, I entered slowly.
“Whoa, but you’re back safely.”
“Safe? Darling just blew off one of her arms like that and came home safely!?”
“Mmm, I hope she’s not dead.”
It would be difficult with the original arm.
Still, if we go back to Earth, we’ll be able to restore the arm itself.
I don’t think you need to worry too much.
“That’s right. It’s Jaja’s fault. You know how reckless it was?”
“Kuhmm…”
“Honey, give me your arm. Umm… I can’t do that either.”
“It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt because I’ve already stopped the bleeding with my characteristics.”
“It’s not that kind of problem…”
Haha… Please sister, don’t do anything dangerous.”
What do you do when you say that?
You usually do the most dangerous things.
…Of course, a joke like that is different from a truly dangerous battle like this.
“But you succeeded? I walked because I thought it would be all right.”
“Do you really want to get scolded?”
“Sorry.”
I honestly have nothing to say.
It’s true that he did the dangerous thing, and it’s true that he lost his arm permanently as a price.
But to be honest, at that time there was no other good way to do it.
“Everyone was very worried about the hero. I’m sorry. Because of me…”
“What, he’s cute. Wasn’t that Asuka?”
“Huh.”
“Hero? Oh, then he himself is a princess. Is this it?”
“Ho, were you presumptuous!?”
“It’s a joke, so don’t be too surprised. Originally, he’s called a lot of strange titles. Isn’t that right?”
“Now, are you sleeping?”
Well, it’s very embarrassing to use that nickname in front of strangers.
Of course, I know what that means to Yurim, so I don’t really hate it.
I’m assuming there are some other issues besides that…
“Ugh…!”
“It’s too bad, it’s just that the bleeding was roughly stopped, so it’s in a very bad condition.”
“Haha… If I spend a lot of magic here, I won’t be able to respond in case of emergency, right?”
“Cutting off your arm in a state of no awakening is a response? Without anesthesia? Do you want to die of shock?”
What…
Certainly, it was quite an unreasonable act to carry out in a state where Himjo was not activated.
Even though I just finished the treatment, I’m still in a lot of pain.
Still, it feels good to worry about something like this.
Because I realize anew that there are many people who care about me and who give me strength.
…I’m sure I’ll get scolded if I get caught thinking like this.
“Anyway, you did a good job. But I’ll forgive you because I completed the operation properly and didn’t die.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“So, are you going there now?”
“I’ll go right away. Everyone will be waiting for you.”
“Are you going?”
“The Dawning Tigers.”
“Ah.”
After I told her where she was going, Asuka nodded her head.
She was originally Asuka, the center of the Dawning Tigers.
I’d like to meet her colleagues soon.
“Sister?”
“Asuka…!”
When she saw her resolve a quarrel with her older sister, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, she naturally laughed.
I guess it was worth fighting for something to blow off an arm.
Of course, it was saved because of Asuka’s power.
“Oh, this wasn’t the time. Sister, before it’s too late, get back to that project we were working on…”
“Yeah, I know.”
I didn’t always tell you that the details of the project were confidential.
Maybe it’s because it’s time to activate right now, so I decided to explain the details.
…With the sound that I should be there in the first place.
“You need me?”
“Yes. You received the letter… So you’re Asuka’s hero, right?”
“It looks like that.”
In order for Asuka to expel the elves from this world, that is to say, to get involved in the system itself.
Just that she had her will, she said, was far short of her strength.
To unleash that much power, it’s unusually intense…
“Because it has to climax.”
“…Yes?”
Didn’t you hear me?
