Chapter 246 – Pocket Girls
“Coming to think of it, I must have gone out of my mind after being shocked for a moment.
She changes her attitude in an instant and makes a look of embarrassment at Perisha’s obedient appearance.
And seeing her Seong-il’s expression, Perisha smiled bashfully and continued her words to evoke her atmosphere.
“Ahhhhh… Stop being eaten up by fear at the moment… Hehe…”
‘…That’s fucking.’
However, her holy day hides her own inner thoughts, and tells her her true feelings with her moderate tone.
“Anyway… Do you have any intention of having a serious talk with me?”
“Sure! Sure!!”
“…Good.”
After answering that, Seong-il approaches Perisha and begins to release her restraining sphere from her body.
“Ahh!! Thank you!!”
“There’s nothing to be thankful for. I released you from the restraints, but I’ve dragged you into a special space created using psychic powers. You’re still no different from being restrained.”
“This… Special space?!”
“Yes. It’s a kind of space transfer ability.”
“Omg…”
“…Why? Although the space transfer system is rare, it’s not so terribly surprising.”
“…Normally that would have been the case.”
“…?”
“Sungil-nim!! It’s not enough that he uses the shadow manipulation system in addition to his physical abilities!! He even uses space-type abilities!! How can I not be surprised!!”
‘…That’s right.’
Seong-il thinks that putting too many cards on his hands could return to Hyper Team’s excessive attention later, so he hurriedly began to undercut his abilities.
“Wrong.”
“…Yes?”
“To be precise, I can only use one psychic power.”
“Huh?! What do you mean by that…? It’s a shameful statement, but I think I’m well aware of Seongil-nim’s abilities because I’ve seen Sungil-sama’s battle video through my direct subordinate Lia…”
“That would make it easier to explain.”
“…?”
“My body strengthening ability is an acquired ability acquired through nanomachines.”
“Ah…”
“In addition, the ability to move in space is a kind of applied ability using the shadow ability seen in the video. Therefore, my true superpower is only one.”
“Hmm…”
“It must be a big disappointment? You must have known him as a vengeful person.”
At the words of such a holy day, Perisha cuts off his words with a strong wave of hands as if to say something.
“What are you talking about! Even if it is so! The spatial transformation ability is a rare type of ability!!”
“Like…”
“And! I approached with the emphasis on Seongil-nim’s intelligence being intact even though he had psychic powers rather than Seongil-nim’s ability to revenge?”
“Why?”
“Why not! Psychic people suffer from a fatal disease that causes their brains to degenerate without being able to withstand their abilities! But Seongil-nim’s genes, which naturally overcame it, are said to have tremendous value!!”
“Hmm…”
“In that sense, it’s just an additional problem if Seongil-nim has the ability to avenge or not? I still need Seongil-nim’s genes.”
“Right.”
“…You said you wanted to negotiate with me in that sense. What do you want?”
After her words, Perisha looks at her Holy Day with a look of great anticipation. Seongil smiled at her and said a word.
“What can you do for me?”
“Yes…?”
“It’s literally. It’s you, not me? And while I’m sure there are cards I can give, you don’t. That’s why you won’t say to me, “What do you want?” I can do it!”, Right?”
“Okay…”
After hearing it, there was nothing wrong with Seongil’s words. Perisha sighed lightly and spoke to him in a pitiful voice.
“But… Can you tell me what you want, even if it’s a rough outline? If you make a request that’s too vague, I’ll have a hard time answering…”
“Well… In that case! Let’s do this.”
“…?”
“Tell me your real name and identity. Roughly how much position and power you have in the organization. If you tell me that, I’ll think of conditions based on that information!”
“Hmm…”
A proposal for a holy day that seems quite reasonable, but subtly dangerous. Patricia is drawn to him without thinking, and she worries that she may endanger herself.
‘…What the hell? Isn’t that a judo newspaper to properly figure out my identity?! I think I’m going to get fucked if I tell you the real information for no reason…’
When she thinks that her opponent may be deceiving her, she becomes anxious. Seong-il sees her expression and realizes what she is thinking.
He pats her Perisha lightly on the shoulder, then settles down in a corner of hers and takes out her cell phone to talk to her.
“Looks like your thoughts are complicated? Tell me when you’re done thinking. I’ll give you plenty of time.”
“…Yes.”
As she frowns and thinks about her profit and loss, Seong-il turns on her smartphone and thinks.
‘…Dammit, come to think of it, I didn’t even check the main quest of 『Pocket Girls』. Am I stupid?’
Seong-il did not check the important fact out of the joy of returning to the world after a long time. He realizes that he didn’t check the main quest because he didn’t know anything about “Game Master” In the beginning.
‘…First of all, while he’s thinking about it, I’ll have to check the contents of the main quest.’
[Main Quest List]
◎ Pocket Girls
Main Quest (0/3) – 0 Achievements
– Defeat all 7 shelter gym leaders. (Achieved 1/5)
– Join the Hyper Team or become hostile
– Defeat the boss of the hyper group or the leaders of the shelter
‘Whew… It’s the same as what we did in the game play.’
Fortunately, Seong-il sighs with relief at the appearance of the main quest list, which does not deviate much from the game he knows.
‘…In the end, I’ll have to decide on a route.’
Seong-il was contemplating which faction to side with to benefit him more. After thinking deeply, he derives her thoughts.
‘Ha… In terms of simple benefits, I think the hyper-dan route, which allows me to freely unleash heinous acts, free from ethical restraints, would be more beneficial to me…’
‘But I don’t want to do anything so outrageous…’
‘Ehh… I guess I’ll just have to take the Shelter route the way it was supposed to and take advantage of the Hyper Team.’
Seong-il, who has been thinking about it, realizes how to deal with Perisha.
‘In terms of the game story, the final goal of the hyper group was to capture the most evil psychic who was sealed through the army of the world before the destruction, right? I tried to make a ‘perfect human’ through experiments based on the genes I took from him, while using that existence as a minion to lead the war with the Shelter forces to my advantage.’
‘After all, I’m going to take the shelter route, so I’ll have to do my best to prevent the Hyper Dan guys from capturing the most evil person while solving the gym leader mission…!’
‘In addition, in the process, I suppressed the boss of the Hyper group that came out of hiding and collapsed the Hyper group.’
That’s how Seong-il decided how he would proceed with his adventures in the future. He realizes what he has to achieve through Perisha.
‘First of all, Project Black… So let’s ask about the secret lab that’s making the Black Ball. It’s disguised as an ordinary waste disposal site within the Hyper Corps, so Perisha, an ordinary executive, won’t find out about my intentions.’
“Hey… Seong-il?”
“Huh…?”
By the time you finish thinking. When Perisha speaks to her just in time for her, Seong-il flinches and looks at her.
“…I accept Seongil-nim’s condition!”
“Oh really?”
“Yes! Instead…”
“Instead?”
“I would like you to keep my personal information a secret from the shelter forces! Well, even if you said it, there is no way I can stop it…
“I promise.”
“…Thank you. My real name is Patricia. As Seongil-nim also guessed, I’m an executive of the Hyper Team. Well… I’m not at the top, I’m a middle manager.”
“Hmm…”
“My job has been to pretend to be a normal researcher here for the past few years, investigating what the shelter scholars are doing inside.”
“Right.”
“…By the way, based on the data collected by the organization and the data I stole, I found out that there is a psychic flowering facility built in the pre-apocalyptic world deep below the shelter here.”
“Oh, so this time…”
“Yes… Originally, the goal was to steal data from this place, create an identical laboratory outside of it, and carry out an independent project… I didn’t…”
“Hmm…”
“That… So! I need a track record to make up for the failure of this mission! Otherwise, in the worst case, I might be demoted to an ordinary member…!!”
“…Then what will happen?”
When asked of her holy day, Patricia looks startled, then she answers him, eagerly looking at her holy day.
“Boo… I’m sure my subordinates from the past will try to eat me! I’ll suffer from severe bullying…!! Then I’ll live a life worse than dying…!!”
“Hmm…”
“That…Then!! My usefulness will drop terribly!! It’s sure to be a big loss to Seongil-nim too! Could you please help me…!?”
After saying that, Patricia crouches down in her seat, wraps her knees around her legs, and begins to tremble. And seeing her like that, her seongil begins to tell her her own plan, as if her tenderness soothed her.
“…Hey, how about this?”
“Yes?”
“Originally, I was thinking of trading my genes…”
“I did…?”
“I’ll just give you the data of this facility.”
“Yeah?!”
When Patricia makes an unexpected statement about her surname, she puts on a look of astonishment. As she looks at her expression, Seong-il gives her a fishy smile and begins to speak.
“This time, through a deal with Dr. Lowe, I decided to receive a psychic treatment.”
“Yes? Isn’t Seongil already a psychic…?”
“…That’s what you mean.”
Seong-il begins to briefly explain her abilities to her Patricia, and after hearing all of her details, she nods her head and begins to answer as if she understands.
“It’s interesting! It’s a new type of psychic power that’s not based on telekinesis…”
“Anyway, since I’m in this situation, I’m going to use Dr. Lowe’s facilities to receive telekinesis treatment based on this achievement. And I’ll use that gap to collect the data you need.”
“Oh…”
“Instead…”
“Instead…?”
“For the time being, I’ll have you conceal the information about my abilities.”
“Yes?!”
Patricia puts on a puzzled expression when her last name changes the details of the deal she was targeting in an instant. Seeing her like that, Seong-il shrugged her shoulders and continued her words to her.
“I don’t mean to hide forever.”
“…Then?”
“First of all, if I give you credit through this case, you’ll do something I want as a reward.”
“Hmm…”
“Let’s share the profits one by one like that! When we finally run out of things to trade with each other, then I’ll hand over my genes.”
“Oh Hong-yo means that we will secretly cooperate behind the scenes for each other’s benefit…?”
“That’s right! I use you to become Shelter’s hero, and you get a chance to rise to a high-ranking position in the Hyper Team through me…!!”
“Hmm… Not bad, but…”
“However…?”
“…Are you sure you can get as much information as I want?”
“If not, then you can end the transaction with my genes.”
“Hmm…”
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“Ah… Shi… I’m not saying I don’t like it!”
Patricia quickly cuts off her words when it seems that Seong-il will nullify the deal. She sighs and starts questioning her Seong-il.
“Haa… Then instead of giving me the research data this time… Is there anything else you want from me?”
“Um… You said you were an executive, right?”
“Yes…”
“Then would you find a place I want?”
“…Which?”
“Well, it’s not a big deal, it’s a place for my merit points, but I want the hyper team to tell me about an army of places to bury waste.”
“Waste…?”
When Patricia suddenly asks for the location of a place where holy days are useless, she makes a face that she doesn’t understand. Seeing that, Seong-il pretends nothing is wrong, manages her expression and connects her words to her.
“Ah, pollutants have been leaking from the vicinity of Shelter A-01 and A-03, where I live! My current job is to find and report to the waste factories where the materials are produced…”
“Ah…!”
“Isn’t that enough business for you? It’s only a landfill at best.”
“Yes!!”
At the words of her Seong-il, Patricia looks at her Seong-il with a very caught expression and smiles.
‘…And there’s a secret laboratory that makes blackballs hidden in that landfill. I don’t know if it’s not the top executive of the Hyper Corps.’
