* Episode 152 – Reward for conquering the 40th floor of the Tower [Memories of Three Women]
[This is a message to all hunters living in the Golden Tower.]
[Today at 7 PM. The 40th tier gate of the Golden Tower has been broken through.]
[The number of people cleared is 1.]

[Today at 7 PM. The 40th tier gate of the Golden Tower has been broken through.]
[The number of people cleared is 1.]
[【Scavenger】 Hong Chang-gi.]
[All transition points in the 40th floor have been opened.]
[In addition, entry is permitted to all classes below the 50th floor.]
[Notice once again──]
A wolf wearing armor landed in an all-black world and looked down at me.
This black barrier is clearly the one the constellations used last time to hinder the intervention of the tower owner.
“Comrade! How was this gateway?”
… What is the gateway here?
As soon as my balls were stepped on, I thought, ‘Oh, this is a bit dangerous.’
It’s a shame because it was Natalia’s mistake. If the nine-tailed fox had avoided the first attack, I would have been the one screaming.
“Anyway, it’s a shitty gateway. I can’t use my skills and I can’t use my hands. If it’s not me, I’m going to be left behind.”
“Blah blah! Same thing!”
They kept nodding their heads, saying that even in their opinion, it was a damned gateway.
It’s no different from hell for a guy who attacks with the thought, ‘As long as I get along well with my partner,’ or a hunter who relies heavily on skills.
“It’s the first time in my life I’ve seen someone with beams coming out of their eyes and using their Aura like that! ○It was so cool, like Superman!?”
‘The only thing that reminds me of it is ○Jingga-‘
There was no need to correct it.
○Because Furman is cool too.

[Today at 7 PM. The 40th tier gate of the Golden Tower has been broken through.]
[The number of people cleared is 1.]
[【Scavenger】 Hong Chang-gi.]
In the meantime, I was puzzled by the notification alarm ringing repeatedly.
Even though it is reward time, I am standing alone.
Ceres came with us last time, but why is there no one this time?
“What about Natalia?”
“Woof! Comrade~! If you forget, you’ll be in trouble! That tomboy is now an ‘apprentice eumma’! It’s definitely a product distributed by our tower, so she can’t be in a place like this!!”
Are you going to break that down in detail?
Well, even if I came here, there wasn’t really anything to do, so it was actually nice.
As the barrier was being laid, he urged me to quickly talk about the reward.
Then.
[The constellation ‘Knight of the Beast’ prepares rewards for the 40th floor!]
[Check reward level…]
[Check… Check… Check…]
[… Impossible!]
[‘Beast Knight’ refused to disclose reward information!]
“… Huh?”
I was taken aback by the system window I saw for the first time.
What on earth did you reject?
“Beast?”
“Keuhum! Don’t worry! I heard in advance what reward my comrade wanted through Sunae and Lily! I even prepared it secretly to prevent the owner from interfering just in case!”
“Without the tower owner’s knowledge… A reward for me in advance…?”
“Keep the job short and concise! Speed is everything, especially when smuggling dangerous goods like this!”
The beast knight opened his large mouth and spit out a sphere of light.
He vomited a total of three spheres.
Yellow, red, and finally turquoise.
‘It’s not a skill, is it?’
It was not copper, silver, or gold.
When I looked at it with suspicion, wondering what this was, our dog driver laughed blankly again.
“Did you tell me? I know what reward my comrade wants.”
They lost their light and turned into piercings of different colors.
“… What? You want me to play piercing?”
Haha!! Well, it’s not unreasonable to misunderstand that the shape is a shape! It would be easier to use it as a ring without having to drill a hole!”
“What is this, give me three?”
“Why are you pretending not to know~! This is what my male comrade wanted so much~!”
“… Me?”
“Yes!”
I think I know what it is.
But I honestly couldn’t believe it because I didn’t know I could get it so easily.
“Wait a minute. I didn’t make a mistake by relying on it, right? Is this really… A ‘memory’?”
“Woof!! Yes, it’s ‘memories’! As you can see from the coloring, we have prepared ‘memories for a total of three people’!”
“It’s extracted from each episode, right?”
“Woof!!”
I hurriedly held it with both hands as I cried out in approval.
It was like a beggar falling to the floor to pick up a coin that had fallen on the floor.
“You don’t have to be so hasty to pick it up! Each of those accessories is self-conscious, so even if you lose them, you won’t be separated from your comrades!”
“You’re saying it’s like their personalities!?”
“It’s not as dirty as personal excrement! These are very clean and precious memories, so please don’t compare them to that! They’ll be sad!”
“Ugh…!”
As he said, the piercings he held in his hands resonated and fell.
Well, it was really rude to compare Natalia’s personality.
I gently stroked Pierce as if I was apologizing to them.
“How can I use this?”
“As I just said, you can use it as an accessory or swallow it entirely!”
“What if something goes wrong?”
“The reason it is in the form of a fierce is because the ‘memory’ contained therein wants it to be that way! Its essence is ultimately a memory and a non-existent substance. Even if it is swallowed, it will not immediately turn into a different person like Natalia’s personality dildo~! “
It was said that the memories of the previous episode were inherited, and the current personality would not disappear.
I never thought I would get this on the 40th floor.
I thought I wouldn’t get it unless I reached the 80th to 90th floor.
“Is it okay to provide service like this?”
“Amazing~! The male comrade seems to think he broke the gate easily! I dare say this! Even if you use the world as a standard, the difficulty level of this level is as crazy as a few fingers! The gatekeeper of this level gives a worthy reward to the winner. You have a duty to get off, and this is an absolute rule that cannot be ignored even if you are the tower owner!”
“You speak well. You are avoiding the intervention of the tower owner, even going to the extent of crossing the barrier. Even taking that into account, you have crossed the line, right?”
“… A little bit! But it’s really narrow! It’s like sticking out a claw beyond the white border! I’ve been ordered to prepare rewards for this class as generously as possible, so it’s okay!”
He comforted me by saying that I would not be punished.
There was no sign of the barrier being broken, and the tower owner did not try to intervene.
I guess it’s really okay.
‘That’s why I give you three of these… ?’
I looked at Pierce again.
Looking at the coloring, I vaguely realized whose item it was.
First, yellow, this is Ceres’ memory.
And red, Brigitta’s memories.
Lastly, turquoise…
‘… Whose memory is this?’
Seongyeon… ?
No.
He is an exception because he remembers everything about the rounds of money.
‘Turquoise.’
A color that reminds everyone of ‘bronze’.
When it comes to acquaintances on the Bronze Shield, there is only one person other than Natalia.
‘Nayami?’
I had a vague feeling of it from the moment I gave it water. He was also involved with me.
If so, that explains why you came to rely on me in this episode.
Either they were instinctively drawn to it or their soul caught it, either way, it has been happening since the time of Ceres.
“That’s right~! I almost forgot! Please be especially careful when the opponent is wearing an accessory and getting her memories back!”
“Why?”
“It doesn’t change your personality or anything like that, but if you make the wrong contact, you will inherit that person’s memories!”
“Ah, is it possible to share memories with this?”
“There’s no need to hand it over to your opponent! Your comrades can wear it! They’ll be able to get a glimpse of the memories inside!”
It’s an external memory that crosses dimensions.
It was a great item, but I didn’t want to peek at it when I wasn’t there, so I put it in my inner pocket.
“Eh, aren’t you going to watch it?”
“There is no need to see it here. You can just return it to them and see it.”
“That’s the correct opinion… But aren’t you curious, comrade?”
“What else?”
“Isn’t this a chance to see what they’ve been up to in other episodes?”
Well, if you’re not curious, that’s okay…
“I drew the line that the in the other episode was not who I am now, but like a stranger. I wanted this to solve the events happening around me, not to collect achievements to see what I did in the other world.”
This is a hint to find out who the enemy is that is interfering with my friend and lover Song Seong-yeon.
If there’s another reason, it’s because Ceres wanted it, or because my soul from the first round is responding. Because it is something to reach a happy ending.
So, I tried not to dwell on the old memories as much as possible…
「───!!!」
“Ugh!?”
As if to object to my opinion, Pierce started jumping around in my palm.
The reaction was so intense that the moment I opened my palm, the metal jewelry fell off! It flew up and hit the bridge of his nose.
“… Ugh! Why is this happening all of a sudden!? Is there a bug!”
I glared at Pierce who hit me.
-Yellow shook his head.
-Red was calm.
-Only the turquoise that hit me is running wild like a bitch.
「… !! … !!!」
“What are you saying?”
I can’t say it, but I know that Nayami’s memory is very angry for some reason.
I tried to calm it down by sweeping it with my palm, but the tremors did not stop even after I stopped the action.
I looked at the beast knight wondering what on earth he was so angry about…
“Woof. That’s why you get angry. It’s like denying that all the memories and memories you have in your body are useless.”
“I didn’t mean to say that…”
“… Even if you didn’t mean it that way, the meaning is the same. Moreover, the person who is more attached to the memories of the first episode than anyone else, and because of that, you are busy trying to save a woman named Song Seong-yeon, you say that the memories of the other episodes are okay. Not only are they full of contradictions, but their words and actions are downright rude.”
The cheerful voice that had been heard just now seemed like a lie, and he seriously scolded her.
I tried to say something, but there was no room to refute.
As the Constellation says, I am the one who is swayed by ‘memories and emotions from the first episode.’
The first time I fell in love with the cow was because of the attraction of my soul, and even after finding out Song Seong-yeon’s identity, I still love her.
Did I deny that the person I was in other episodes was not me…? .
“Male comrade. Please don’t have strange misunderstandings and cherish your old memories. Even if you draw a line saying ‘I am not myself in another world’ for no particular reason, it will only be seen as Kuljin trying to gain form.”
“Cool…”
Her face blushed because she was embarrassed.
Come to think of it, she said something similar to this when she was persuading Ceres…
‘They said that the from another world and the now are strangers.’
Nevertheless, Ceres fought with Seongyeon, saying that she had stolen my past achievements.
At the time, I was angry because I wondered why they didn’t understand what I was saying, but now that I think about it, I guess my thoughts were short-lived.
….
… Yes.
“Yes. Everything you said is correct. It’s not what anyone else would say, nor what I would say.”
If you want to save Seongyeon, form a harem, and aim for a happy ending, you must accept all the memories from other episodes.
In that sense, the advice of the doggie knight was truly correct.
“Woof… I hope you understand! As expected, Hong Chang-gi, our hero! I look forward to conquering the tower with your own hands and putting an end to our long journey!”
Gold surrounded me.
I tried to send him away in a good mood by saying that he gave me a reward and that some misunderstandings had been resolved.
“Then I hope to see you again soon – I will close this gate -“
“-Wait a minute! Don’t give me a closing comment. I still have business left at the tower.”
“Huh? You’re not going out?”
“Uh, if possible, send me to the 19th floor!”
“Aha~! Okay! I’ll guide you that way! -See you next time, male comrade!”
Woof, woof!
We parted ways with a light barking sound.
Fall from the 40th floor to the 19th floor through the portal of light.
After a long time, we arrived at a sauna run by a snow woman.
