Chapter 229 – 52. Voice. (3)
Front breakthrough.
That’s what Allen chose.
As expected, the opponent was simply shocked beyond surprise. But lucky Rick soon realized his ugliness, raised the fallen chair back up, sat down on it, and pretended nothing was wrong.
“No, hey, I have no idea what the Dan Lord said, what it means.”
If it was the usual Rick, he would have maintained his composure no matter what the other person said, but he made a mistake after hearing the story that went beyond his imagination. That too is a very big mistake.
She grinned knowingly, resting her chin on the back of her hand, and she just stared at Rick in silence. The lucky child tried to keep looking at that gaze to add strength to his words, but in the end he couldn’t stand it and avoided his gaze.
“Something seems to have been misunderstood. … Haha, I can hear your voice. Isn’t that mental illness?”
“Rick.”
“Yes.”
“The world is a much stranger place than you can see, hear or feel. To the extent that it easily surpasses imagination.”
… Ah…
“Hearing your voice is not even a strange axis. … Oh, are you wondering how I know?”
However, Rick regained his composure and forced a smile.
“I have absolutely no idea what Lord Allen is talking about. If the business is over, can I go back now?”
Allen, who was staring at Rick, showed her the palm as if to do what she wanted. Then the lucky one jumped up from her seat, bowed to the money ghost, and walked straight to the door of her parlor.
Then, Arlen put her back on Rick’s back as he was about to leave, and threw her one last word.
“When the sun is up, I’m usually in the office.”
Allen smiled innocently as Rick glanced back at her.
“For reference.”
And Rick, who escapes Allen-Mercenary’s hideout as if running away. The crew member who came with me hurriedly chased after Danju while saying “Oh”.
“Sweet Lord! Let’s go together!”
However, in Rick Danzu’s mind, there was only Allen Danzu’s story.
– You have a voice that always helps you by your side.
– The voice. Heard only by you
– The world is a much stranger place than you hear and see and feel. To the extent that it easily surpasses imagination.
– Hearing your voice is not even on the strange axis.
… What the heck… ?
It was really crazy and I was going to jump up and down.
How the hell did Allen Danju, who is a top 10 player, know that there is a voice only for the lucky Rick?
It was by no means a mere trick to get over it. He was clearly speaking with confidence.
“Did the contract go well? How much did you charge for commission? Since he’s a money ghost, I’m afraid he’ll beat me up… Solemn Lord. … Sweet lord?”
“Uh… , Uh? What…”
“Did the contract go well? … Are you okay? By any chance, aren’t you crazy because you were so fucking swung by Allen Danju? Hehe.”
“Ah, uh, a contract… Great. Good…”
Because he was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t come to his senses, a smile escaped from the crew member’s face.
“… Sovereign? Are you really okay?”
“Later, let’s talk. Later…”
Rick needed a voice now.
The voice he always had by his side.
… The voice that existed for him—
· · ·
Fortunately, the voice that had disappeared for a while came back the moment he left the Allen-Mercenary’s hideout.
… But it was no different than usual. When Rick saw a person, he recited about that person, when he saw an object, he recited about that object. That’s it.
The voice didn’t say anything about Allen Danzoo. Even about what he said he was a fucking tree before he disappeared.
Of course that was normal. The voice never spoke of anything that wasn’t in Rick’s sight, and this time it respected its rules admirably.
… What am I supposed to do… ?
Rick, a lucky man, woke up all night repeatedly, tossing and turning on the bed in deep anguish, then greeted the dawn.
If nothing else, I was going crazy wondering how they knew about the existence of alternate voices. He has a curious personality, but Allen Danju seems to have ignited it.
– Hey, do you believe in fate?
Should I believe this is real destiny?
… I was just going to find a proxy seller, but did I dare imagine that I would meet the first human to know the identity of the voice!
After much thought, in the end, lucky Rick skipped breakfast and left the building early in the morning.
He headed straight to the guild house and found the office of Allen-Mercenary Corps. The money ghost, Allen Danju, is yet to go to work.
Rick waited a moment in the lobby of his office. And after a while, the quiet voice started to throw a warning again.
– Destiny changes. You still have a chance.
– He who destroys all fate. The one who devours everything!
– Run away now!
Shortly after, Allen Danju entered the office. When he sees Rick waiting in the lobby, he looks like he didn’t expect to be here so early. … However, there was no emotion beyond that, as if he had expected that he would definitely come.
“… You came early. Come in.”
Allen nodded her head and entered the main room with Rick.
“Would you like a cup of tea?”
“No, thanks.”
– He who sees through everything. Scared. You can’t leave it as an enemy. No, you can’t even get involved.
The money ghost nodded her head lightly, opened her window wide, and sat down in his chair. The slightly cool yet refreshing morning air circulated the room through the open window.
“Okay… , Why did you come here?”
Knowing everything, he asked why. Rick’s shoulders and chest were heavy with the pressure that felt different from yesterday.
… After all, 10 is 10. The opponent was different from other mercenaries.
Everyone will be easily caught off guard by that young and handsome face. And by the time you come to your senses, it must have already been done.
“How did you know?”
There was nothing more to hide.
Arlen didn’t expect her to ask her outright at her first word, so she laughed out loud.
“It’s hotter than I thought. I like it more.”
“… She correctly pointed out the existence of the voice, so what else could she hide?”
“It seems a bit shocking.”
“Honestly, I am very shocked. It’s the first time in my life that I’ve been so surprised. Really.”
The money ghost brought his hands together and laid them lightly on the desk.
“How did you know?”
“Yes.”
Allen tilted her head slightly towards Rick.
And then…
“… It is a secret.”
“… Yes?”
“If I reveal my base cloth so obediently, I will use it. I have to eat and live.”
… Ah… !
It felt as if a great secret had come right in front of me, and then disappeared like a mirage. I’m really excited, but it’s ambiguous to rush again.
Rick wanted to hear the voice’s description, but it said nothing. I really feel like I’m in a deep labyrinth.
“Well, maybe there will be an opportunity to reveal it someday.”
“Then, why, why, did you say that to me… !”
Unlike the impatient Rick, Allen smiled leisurely.
“Why? Yeah… , Because I was waiting for a talented person like you.”
ㅡ!
“The reason I bothered to mention that fact is because I coveted you. I tend to be a bit greedy for talent.”
Of course, there is no one who is not greedy for talented people.
“So I played from my hand. … I showed off my ability, my skill, and my strength to you.”
Lucky Rick swallowed.
Obviously, the opponent was just an ordinary human without any helplessness, but Rick felt helpless like a butterfly caught in a spider’s web.
“How is it? Have you eaten?”
… Did you eat some? This wasn’t a level of eating, it was a level of smashing.
Lucky for Rick, the most intimate and most precious secret has been completely revealed by the other person. It’s a more dizzying feeling than being completely naked on the street.
“… What do you want from me?”
“I’m just wondering if you intend to join my coalition. … Oh, do you think it’s a threat? Don’t worry. The voice is a secret between the two of us. There’s no need to listen to other people’s ears. I swear.”
That was a million bucks. … Of course, I can’t completely believe it.
“And anyway, this is your choice. I don’t want to force a side either. It’s just that I can’t do it. You said it earlier. I’m showing off my abilities to you, and you’re judging by that. Whether or not he is someone you can trust and go with.”
The more Rick talked, the more he felt distraught.
“Of course, I will give you enough time to think. A month, two months, or even a year is fine. If it’s hard to judge, you can go through the world more. Then you will get to know me better.”
It was a confident voice.
A tone full of conviction that you will come to me someday.
Even so, Allen Danju was already the only person who knew the existence of the voice, and it was stuck in Rick’s mind.
“Oh, your hideout is near the capital, right?”
“Ah, yes, it is.”
“Just in time, I also had to go to the capital… , Will you accompany me?”
It was difficult to decide. Since I don’t know the other person’s intentions… Also a bit scary
“You don’t have to make it complicated. Aren’t you planning on aiming for the top 10 someday? Then, this opportunity should not be missed, right?”
Ah.
“Do I look like a person who would be angry with you because you refused to join the alliance? You’re welcome. After all, the mercenary business is also a personal connection. Even meeting talented people like you and having a good relationship with them, for me, if it’s a gain, it’s a gain, and there’s absolutely nothing to lose. Of course, the same goes for you. … Is not it?”
… There, lucky Rick was completely persuaded.
Allen Danju was a much more reasonable and rational person than I thought. It made me wonder if there was such a person among the mercenaries. … Rather, the hesitant Rick himself seemed petty.
“Then… , All right. I will accompany you.”
“A good choice.”
Allen offered a handshake first, which Rick politely accepted.
– … You speak so well
The voice was also persuaded.
