Thud. With a dull sound, Torida, who had been kneeling, fell to the floor. He had already been kicked several times, but he stood up like a toy and prostrated flat on his stomach again. “I’ll find her. I’m sure I can find her, Lord Zav. They said there’s an entrance to the Forest of Crimson Waves within the Owick house. Just give me a little more time...” “My subordinates have already inspected the interior of the mansion. Are you sure it’s that estate? Not buried under some garden…- 323.4 K • Completed
“Torida, her partner, won’t let go easily. From what I've heard, it seems like he's acquired all of the Owick family's fortune.” "Huh," Doctor Kim snorted again. “I can deal with anyone who fusses over this kind of pittance with just one toe.” Impressed by her nouveau riche moment, I scooped up a bowl of dongchimi soup and took a sip. The richness of the butter washed away immediately. "Yes, make Baron Owick grow the crops you want and recover quickly. That way, you won't collapse…- 323.4 K • Completed
“Do I need to know?” Rick couldn’t answer yes. Then again, Tairok was the type who paid no attention to anyone, no matter how conspicuous they were. The Tairok Rick knew had been the envy of everyone since his student days, yet he himself seemed oblivious to those around him. “But he changed like that. Anyone seeing him would think he’s a different person.” Rick’s casual remark made Tairok’s hand pause. “Your Grace?” “What about the investigation into Adeye…- 323.4 K • Completed
She flinched, her eyes widening, and turned to look at me properly for the first time. Of course, it was only for a moment. “Why, why are you doing this…” “I’m really sorry. You didn’t even want to tell me your name, and I brought you here without even knowing that. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” As I apologized her with both hands, her confusion grew. “P-p-please don’t do that. It’s not…” “It is. You don’t even tell me your name. You must hate me so much to do that.…- 323.4 K • Completed
I tilted my head, munching on the vegetables in the soup that came with the bread. It was called soup, but it tasted refreshing, just like water kimchi. “It seems there was a sudden change in schedule. I heard that the Grand Duke’s distant relative, Zarayal Brons, was making his social debut and the Duke was escorting him to the party.” What? I was about to drink the entire bowl of water kimchi, but then I stopped. “Grand Duke Kun? Grand Duke Kun attended that party…- 323.4 K • Completed
A strange spark seemed to spread across his unpleasant golden eyes. At first glance, it almost seemed like admiration, but what did it matter whether that bastard’s eyes sparkled or darkened? I barely managed to get up and charged at him again. He’d definitely try to kick me like before. I’m waiting for for that moment. I threw myself at him and clung to his long leg. I felt him hesitate for a second, and then I heard an annoyed curse above my head. “Ha, damn.” Yeah, of course…- 323.4 K • Completed
“It is true.” Hoiga spoke in a tearful voice. “Because we mobilized even the worst weapons to stop the monsters, most of humanity ended up disappearing instead. The Integrated Research Institute where I was was the only place left, but since it was under attack by monsters before I left… that place must have been shut down as well.” “But there must be some people left?” In response to Doctor Kim’s question, Hoiga shook his head. “Even if there are some left, it would only…- 323.4 K • Completed
That evening, while I was strolling in the garden, a guest came to see me. It was Black Bear. “Are you feeling alright now?” “I am ashamed to have caused you worry. Due to my lack of ability, I failed to properly stop Grand Duke Montaine.” Not only did she bow her head like a sinner, but she even tried to kneel. Wait, why is that your fault? “No… It’s because the divine beast suddenly lost its power. If you think about it, it’s all Grand Duke Sarne’s fault.” Perhaps…- 323.4 K • Completed
Tairok kept his promise to me. After stepping on Grand Duke Montaine, he destroyed the Eye of Hell first. Since he hadn't even seen me plant the grass, he did it with the intention of willingly handling the swarm of monsters that would pour out. That was, I suppose, a bit touching. Though, it seemed his pride was hurt that I had sealed the rift first. “You say this is the master of the Forest of the Crimson Waves?” So, he wanted to verify for himself the existence that had beaten him to…- 323.4 K • Completed
Rumble The ground shook as if it were screaming, and a blood-curdling sound echoed in the minds of the two. ‘Kirihihik!’ Although monsters were already heading toward this place along with the darkness, this sound felt closer, as if it were coming from right beneath their feet. “It looks like the rift is about to open.” Haas muttered; his whole body was shaking. Unlike the terrified man, Enya glared ahead and replied calmly. “It doesn’t matter, since we’re just going to be…- 323.4 K • Completed
