* Episode 287 – [Knight of Pure Love: Origin] His final memoir
[Tower of Lust, 60th floor]
[■■To all ■■ who reside in the Tower of Gold.]
[■Sunday at ■AM. The Golden Tower ■■layer ■door has been ■■opened.]
[The number of people cleared is ■ people.]
[【■■】 ■Prostitute.]
[Ideal for golden ■■ hunters ■■.]
[■■ AM ■ o’clock. The golden ■ ■0■■ gateway has been broken through■■■■.]
[■■■ Number of people is ■■.]
[【■■】 Hong■■.]
“It has begun.”
Immediately after conquering the 80th floor, an announcement is heard from the 60th floor.
Hong Chang-gi judged that he had come into contact with the Knight of Pleasure, and the Knight of Sun-ae also raised his waist, saying, ‘Slowly-‘.
『It’s broken!?』
『On the 80th floor, that’s the gateway that Olivia and I specially renovated!』
『Those rags were made to a specification that could never be broken… !』
“How! What kind of trick did you pull!?』
“Those sluts have the specifications that they will never be able to break… Just in case, they didn’t use themselves as the standard, right? Without being objective about themselves, they said, ‘It’s a gate that they can’t break by my standards, so they definitely won’t be able to break it either.’ Looking down on the other person.”
『Muh!?』
At Yoo Ji-hyeon’s shout, Sun-ae abandoned her self-deprecating tone and revealed her true nature.
“Look at the surprise. It’s so obvious even without looking at it. Look at how Aphrodite even threw away the gimmick she had planned and did something on her own. You’re the only one who doesn’t know how foolish and foolish she was.”
『You sound like a fool!?』
『I made the gate more difficult to break!?』
『Stop making strange assumptions!』
“Regardless of whether what I said was speculation or not. Even though that stupid goddess may seem like that, she is a sincere woman who creates gateways and gimmicks. But, including the shopping mall downstairs and the gateway on the 80th floor, she is fucking up everything you touch. That’s it. Considering everything, no matter how I look at it, you are below Aphrodite as a tower owner?”
『Keuuuuu~~!!』
As if her pride had been scratched, the beautiful girl Menhera stamped her high-heeled boots on her soles and disintegrated.
On the contrary, the knight of pure love… The original Hong Chang-gi ‘pretended’ to be relaxed but walked around the gate with a nervous look.
The clear announcement on the 80th floor must have stopped. I knew there was some action going on over there, but I was worried that something might go wrong.
“It will happen gradually.”
And then suddenly…
In order to answer the expectations of the Knight of Pure Love, the tragedy came without fail.
… Grrrr!!!
『!?』
Smoke rose over clean skin without any burns.
However, the flame was as white as a cloud and did not look hot no matter how much I looked at it.
“-That’s right. It’s a success.”
Ta-dak. Tadak.
His cheek, skin, fell off like tree bark, revealing an empty stomach.
Even though she was on fire, Soon-ae’s knight smiled brightly and beyond the video, Yoo Ji-hyun opened her pupils instead.
『What’s going on?』
『Why is it suddenly burning!?』
『What are you trying to do again!!!』
“Now, I have handed over the remaining balance.”
『What?』
Ta-dak. Ta-dak. Tdadadak-.
Skin that turns into seeds and disappears like a burning bonfire.
It won’t burn out right away, but it won’t last long.
“I handed over all the soul that was left in my armor to my comrades. With that, I became a mere empty shell, without even a single memory to keep me alive.”
Soon-ae’s knight knew that she didn’t have much time left, so she lowered her voice again.
“Here, if all the remnants left on the skin burn away, that will be the end. You will be free from all shackles and the past and be reborn as a constellation.”
『Do you mean dying?』
『Or memory loss!?』
“It’s the latter. To be honest, it’s like reincarnation, so dying is the wrong expression.”
Ta-dad-dad.
The outer surface of the skin is falling off, but I am calm.
Rather, it is Jihyun who is embarrassed.
Strangely, the bitch who has blown off her man’s head countless times is not able to use indigo against Hong Chang-gi.
“You look like you’re dying because you don’t understand what’s going on.”
『Of course!』
『You were begging me to explain earlier!』
『But won’t it suddenly burn down, are you out of your mind!?』
“I’m sane. My comrade did a better job than I expected. He’s a hero after all. No matter what I do, the fact that he’s [The opposite of me] Still makes my heart boil.”
Since they have the same face, it is nothing short of self-praise.
Nevertheless, Sunae’s knight was not ashamed.
She calmly explained that the work she had planned was progressing.
“From the 80th floor, it is a land of gods managed directly by Aphrodite. It is not a combat zone, and the Ancient-level demon living there will not be of interest to your comrades. If you just follow the map I gave you, you will be reunited with Olivia, and there you will be able to rescue Aphrodite again. You will be able to get help.”
『Do you think Madame will betray me?』
『You’re welcome!』
『After everything has happened like that, do you really think I will surrender to the prostitute!?』
『If he were a human, he wouldn’t be able to do something like that because he would be embarrassed!』
“As you say, it is not you, Comrade, that Madame has in mind. I think she is a woman who can bow her head if he shows her the way.”
『What happens to the incidents that have taken place so far!?』
『What about the women you have trained so far? What is human trafficking?』
『Are you going to just shut your mouth and pretend not to notice!?』
“Even if something did happen, it is minor compared to what you and Nayami did, and it can be resolved with Aphrodite’s help. If there is a way to clean it up, I think I will still have enough mental energy to focus on putting the spilled water in.”
Then she burned even brighter.
Eventually, if all the remaining body burns away, you will be reborn as a new being like a knight of pleasure.
“Is Freya still sleeping? I stayed up until the 80th floor just in case, but looking at this situation, I won’t move until I’m reunited with Aphrodite.”
He raised his index finger and pointed at Yoo Ji-hyun, who was sweating coldly on the other side of the screen.
『Ugh!』
『Head-!?』
Immediately after, Jihyeon shakes.
He grabbed her forehead with both hands and pulled her shoulders together.
“You said you wanted to know what I was aiming for, right? If you’re that curious, come see it with your comrades. It’s the diary of a shameful guy who could have been happy in moderation, but became greedy without knowing the subject. As a result, he got caught by a damn goddess and ruined his life.”
『Work, work?』
『Your memories?』
『Now I’m going to tell you my true feelings… !?』
“Wow. It’s embarrassing because it feels like it’s showing dark history. But it’s the perfect ending.”
The burning face smiled.
“I will show you the true nature of the person you loved so much. I hope you will leave a review when you see it.”
The world is swirling.
Ji-hyeon’s vision turned round, and her eyes became white.
『(Wow, I see something strange!)』
『(My mind… Flew away…!?)』
My mind is blown away by a sudden rush of memories.
Just like Yoo Ji-hyeon now, Hong Chang-gi on the 80th floor was in the same condition.
It’s not the kind of reminiscence you see all the time, watched from a third party’s perspective.
『I feel strange!』
『I want to become a darling-!?』
『Ooh, ah, ahhhhh!!!!』
The person himself becomes Hong Chang-gi around the first time.
With this, the heart, intentions, and true nature of the knight of pure love were revealed.
*
Dang.
Dang.
Dang.
Twik-!
“… Huh?”
I opened my eyes to the sound of the clock hands moving.
The light beyond the window is bright.
The chirping of birds outside and the smell of old people, peculiar to a country house, announced that the day had arrived.
“Ugh…”
She was floundering on the bedding on the ground with goosebumps stuck to her eyes.
I saw a small hand.
These are skinny hands suitable for lower grades of elementary school.
‘Ah cii…’
Even though I had just woken up, I was in a bad mood from the morning to the point where I clenched my fists and pounded the pillow.
Even though it was a vacation that everyone welcomed, I couldn’t welcome it.
‘-Hate. I want to go to school.’
I looked around with less open eyes.
It was annoying just to look at the yellowed ceiling in the narrow 2-pyeong room, but the surrounding scenery was even worse.
-Faded black and white family photos hanging from the ceiling.
-A cheap three-color watch I received to commemorate the opening of a business.
-Postcards for studying Korean in alphabetical order posted numerous times on the wall.
-A large bookshelf takes up most of this narrow room and a bunch of worn-out Aesop’s fables that I bought at a second-hand market.
-Like a bed, there is no desk, so the only things in my room are school supplies lying around on a folding dining table.
‘I really hate it.’
I watched this scene blankly.
Even though it was morning, I didn’t want to wake up, so I turned my head.
Then, after holding in my pee, I finally went outside and started my day.
‘Ha.’
The unique blue roof of a country house and the ‘ㄷ’ shaped building structure made me angry from the morning.
It was like that when going to the bathroom, you had to wear a litter, go through the veranda, and relieve yourself in the bathroom outside.
Conventional toilets still require squatting… Even this was recently changed, and it has a bizarre structure with a shower attached.
Even though this cobweb was removed every day by the homeowner, it re-established itself on the top of the head where people used the bathroom, as if it had never happened before.
‘Why is my house like this?’
Beyond the stone wall, a newly built pension came into view.
Even though I was still a child who needed to be a child, I was jealous of a house like that.
To put it negatively, I have been a snob since this age, so there is no way to express it positively.
“Kkkk!”
A chained white mutt greeted me, whether he knew how I felt or not.
What was so happy about it was that it was wagging its tail and smiling at me.
Hehe~~!!”
“…”
I don’t know the name. I have no intention of knowing.
I know that even if I give him affection and become close with him, he will turn into a soup after a few days.
Nevertheless, he seemed satisfied, not even knowing how he would be treated.
“You are satisfied with that kind of life.”
Like this old house I am staying in, his house also had a green roof.
Because of how many times the owner had changed, the fur inside was white, black, or gray.
I must have gained a lot of weight. It may be time.
Hehe~?”
“…”
I looked around.
My parents are away working in the fields.
I didn’t know what the hell was going on with a dog whose name I didn’t even know, so I let go of his leash and kicked him.
“Beep! Boop! Boop!”
“Whoa! Whoy! Get out, get out!”
He tried to bite my feet, but he didn’t do that.
Even though they didn’t know why I let them go, they kept an eye on me because they thought I was family.
“… Kkihiing!”
Then, he folded his ears, watched, and quickly ran away.
I thought he might crawl back into the house, but if he gets caught, that will be his fate.
He gave me a chance, but since he threw it away, he will pretend not to know at that time.
‘What excuse can I make to my dad?’
I don’t know.
I didn’t even want to lie in the first place.
‘I did something to get scolded, so I’ll be scolded later.’
It was nice to get scolded.
Rather than that, I was more worried about what I was doing in this small corner of the house today.
A familiar girl from the pension I envied must have sensed my feelings and came running towards me.
“You prostitute!”
This is my precious toy, Seongyeon.
