Chapter 1 – Dr. Aime (1)
One.
“This is not the time to be like this.”
I got up and prepared to leave quickly. It wasn’t too early to meet someone, but time didn’t matter much when I met him.
Even late at night, even at dawn when the rooster crows, that person is there.
If you say this, it sounds like you are going to meet something great and mysterious from a higher dimension, but in fact, you are just going to meet a hikikomori.
“That person would know.”
I zipped up the hood zip-up and went out to the door.
The person I am going to meet now is the greatest hikikomori in the world and the person who handed me the hypnosis app.
“Even if I spank him, I have to find out why he did this…!”
2.
“Sir, excuse me…”
The place I arrived at was the office building of the Liar’s Trap Guild, where I put my body. The anger and vengeance that had boiled over when he ran up to this point cooled down and became lukewarm the moment he arrived in front of the company.
Come to think of it, it was all thanks to him that I was able to remain in the huge guild called Liar’s Trap until now.
He showed me a new possibility when I knew nothing to do but run away, and thanks to him, he was able to move into a penthouse in the middle of the most expensive city in the country.
“Even though I bought it with a loan…!”
The debt could be repaid by clearing the S-class dungeon in about three months, so it was actually my perfect home.
Anyway, that’s not the problem, and the person I’m meeting and arguing with was a great benefactor to me.
The reason I was able to get a loan of billions of dollars in the first place was because that person reminded me of my potential.
Thinking that way, it seemed like there was no need to be angry. It’s almost a life saver, but if you get angry at someone like that, it’s a pendulum trash. Well. Yeah i’m not trash Let’s hold on.
After I made a cause not to get angry, my anxious mind was relieved. It wasn’t because I was afraid of taking care of myself after getting angry with that person.
While making justification, my feet brought me to the door of the person’s lab. Next to the large door was a red button with a skull mark on it. It was a button that looked so dangerous that a stranger would mistake it for a self-destruct button, but even so, it was a doorbell.
“Joe, okay. Because being angry and arguing are two different things. Pastor, let’s not be cowards. Go out proudly you are the victim That person is going to go.”
“What is a victim?”
“Mr. Twai!”
A languid voice came from behind. I was even more surprised by the sudden voice I heard while I was preparing my mind. To the extent that if I had been surprised a little more, I would have run away.
“Whoa. Whoa. Wow, I was surprised…”
I calmed my beating heart and turned to look at the owner of the voice. The owner of the voice had a small physique to the extent that he had to lower his head slightly to be seen.
“Hello rabbit. What are you doing at this late hour?”
Making eye contact with me, she waved her hand at me with her half-opened eyes in a faint arc. But her little hands were covered in a large doctor’s gown that didn’t fit her body, leaving only the dangling sleeves visible.
Surprised that she, who was normally inside her lab, was outside her, I awkwardly bowed my head to say hello.
“Ah, hello… But why is the doctor outside?
“Oh my, a rabbit came to visit me on a bad night. I have to meet you.”
You were watching. Well, there is also a CCTV room in the lab. Although only the doctor can see it.
I nodded and suddenly realized that the doctor was calling me by the wrong title.
“Doctor, stop calling me a rabbit. Where do I look, am I a rabbit?”
Even looking at it objectively, my image was far from a rabbit. His height was above average, and his body, which had been strengthened by participating in numerous dungeon raids, had bulked up in its own way. Even though it’s skinny, it’s muscular.
Although it’s a problem that it doesn’t show through clothes.
Anyway, I didn’t want to be called a rabbit. Since you were born as a man, shouldn’t you be called at least wolf, puma, or jaguar?
However, the doctor bounced my words off the back of his ear and let out a languid yawn. Even though I opened my mouth as much as I could to yawn, it just looked cute because of the small mouth.
“Ahhhhh… I’m sleepy.”
“I feel sleepy? Did I wake you up? I’m sorry if that’s the case.”
“Yes. No. A rabbit came to visit me, what am I to be sorry for? Rather, I should be grateful.”
“It’s not a rabbit.”
“Shall we go in first?”
The doctor, who once again cut off my words with the back of his ear, pressed the skull mark switch next to the door, dragging a slipper that was too large for his feet. Then, with the sound of coo-gu-gung… The thick laboratory door opened.
The laboratory made of the new material developed by the doctor, ‘metal for hunting rabbits,’ was difficult even for S-class awakened people to penetrate. That’s why this lab was a place where only those allowed by the doctor could enter.
There are less than ten people in all of the Liars Traps who can enter this place, who have more than a 50% chance of getting permission from the doctor.
I still couldn’t believe that I was in one of them.
Whenever I stand in front of this door, can someone like me enter there? I think it is. It’s a place that only really great people can enter.
As always, I was soaked in that sentiment, so the doctor who entered first turned around to look at me and tilted his head.
“What are you doing? Come on, don’t come in.”
“Ah, yes. Excuse me then…”
At the doctor’s words, I cut off my feelings and entered the laboratory made of ‘metal for rabbit hunting’.
Thud!
“Woah!”
As soon as I entered the lab, the wide open door was quickly closed. It’s like this every time I come to the lab, so it’s time to stop being surprised, but this guy’s heart didn’t develop resistance.
“Phw.”
Seeing me wincing slightly in surprise, the doctor drew an arc with the corner of his mouth. Even as she smiled, her eyes were still wet with drowsy tiredness, so it was just a very sullen smile.
The doctor, with a smile reminiscent of a mad scientist giggling, pointed a finger at me as if to look at it.
“Being surprised so easily. How can you not be a rabbit?”
“Sah, even lions are surprised when they see cucumbers!”
I don’t know if it really is. I remembered a video of cats tumbling back in surprise at seeing cucumbers, so I just said it for no reason.
Despite my rebuttal, the doctor’s sinister smile did not change. Looking at that smile makes me angry and wanting to refute. But it didn’t work. I didn’t come here to argue with the doctor.
It shouldn’t be like this. You shouldn’t let the doctor’s face dry you like this. Paster, you are the victim. Victims caught up in the doctor’s terrible misdeeds! Be bold. I’m proud to ask why.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a rabbit or what! The important thing is this, Doctor!”
I made up my mind, took out my smartphone from my pocket and turned on the hypnosis app. It was not a hypnosis application, but a special order by a doctor who had been using it knowing that it was a real hypnosis application.
When I opened the hypnosis app, a screen with slowly flickering purple and pink lights that looked like it would hurt my eyes if I looked at it, and vulgar phrases appeared. Showing it to the doctor, I proudly opened my mouth.
“Do you have anything to say after seeing this? Won’t you get stabbed!”
“Yes? It’s a hypnosis app. The collection of brain science and technology that I made for rabbits can turn S-class Awakeners, who are much more dangerous than lions or tigers, into toilet bowls.”
In response to my questioning, the doctor answered as if it were natural, with his languid eyes not feeling any change in emotion. I was so angry at that shamelessness that I screamed involuntarily.
“Don’t Kurachiji, Eme! You just changed the wording of an application for hypnosis play on the Internet!”
That’s it- That’s that- That’s-
The laboratory surrounded by rabbit-fighting metal had the advantage of being strong against all shocks and heat and having no gaps for anything to penetrate, but it also had the disadvantage of resonating well.
Because of that, my cry resonated in the lab like an echo, and I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat after calling the doctor by name and speaking half-heartedly.
It was cooked It’s been remodeled Sifal.
The Doctor hates being called by his first name. No, I hate it
In the past, a researcher from another guild who didn’t know anything called the doctor “Eme” And went missing, and after that, rumors spread that a brain in a barrel was added to the laboratory.
I carefully looked at the doctor with trembling eyes. The doctor, perhaps surprised by my loud voice, was staring at me with his half-open eyes fully open.
It was more frightening to watch without saying anything. ‘What shape is that baby’s brain? Well, you’ll understand when you open it.’
What to do Am I now a brain in a vat? No, in fact, isn’t it already a brain in a vat? I’m repeating the last moment of my life by receiving external electrical stimulation.
I was breathless thinking that my life was over without being able to do anything. It seemed that it had come this far.
No, no. Don’t you know yet? In fact, I’m not a brain in a vat, but I really came into the doctor’s lab and called the doctor’s name, and now I’m swept away in fear that I’m going to be a brain in a vat, so I might be imagining that.
If so, you still have a chance.
“Let’s run away.”
After making that decision, I was about to kick the ground to escape when I heard the doctor’s urgent voice, which I had never heard before.
“Aww! Oh, no!”
With a genuinely perplexed expression on his face, the doctor stretched out his arms with loose sleeves as if to grab me, showing none of his usual intelligence.
Seeing the doctor’s unfamiliar appearance, I also forgot the idea of running away for a moment. As I stared at the doctor, the doctor froze as he stretched out his arms to me with blush on both cheeks.
“…”
“…”
And again there was a suffocating silence.
“Eh, Ekong. I woke up. In fact, the hypnosis app was fake.”
The situation ended with the doctor punching his head with a bean and sticking out his tongue in an unreasonable aegyo.
