Pick Me Up-Episode 397
* * *
Amkena opened her eyes..
What I remembered before I lost my mind was that Aaron had a gunma statue of a battery. Until you hand it over..
Behind him, Black Thunder crashed underneath, heading to an unknown location.
With him, she fainted..
Turn it off..
The front is blurry and I can't see it well..
How long have you been fainting.
It's a minute, or a few days to a few months..
I couldn't be separated..
If there is only one touch, the hard texture felt from below.
It is the feeling of a concrete road that is not familiar.
Amkena rubbed her eyes with her right arm..
The vision is back..
“……This is it..”
I was lying down..
I saw the sky right away..
Purple sky with red light.
You can't even find the blue, sunny atmosphere of midday.
It was just sinister and unpleasant.
There, in the sky, was floating instead of clouds.
‘It's on fire.?’
The sky is burning.
It was the only sight that could be expressed..
The black flame is burning..
I was appalled..
Amkena stood up..
Then again the sight of the city was noticeable.
“Ugh.…….”
To be precise, it was the landscape of the city that was once called Seoul.
Where Amkena fell, the asphalt road was broken and debris was thrown out. Put space.
Around it, all the skeletons, all the stones, and all the remnants of the building. Filled the field of view.
‘…….’
It was thanks to the building next door that she decided this place was " Seoul.
World Tower with Black Thunder.
It stands erect, with only a slender frame.
It's the imposing figure of a skyscraper that fights for rank around the world. I couldn't find any more..
‘This is what it is..’
This is not the Seoul she knew..
No, it's not the world she knew..
Landscape after Destruction.
As I stood, just as I was looking, my body trembled like a strabismus..
「Alas, really…….」
In between,
Among the winds of destruction,
The voice of chaos rang out in a loud voice.
「It's fun..」
Niall's Voice.
I've heard a lot about Amken and I've gotten used to it..
But the feeling itself is different from the previous one.
In the voice of an ingenuous child, something unknown and terrible There is a thing..
I feel bad just listening..
Chicken meat began to sprout all over the place.
「I'm gonna get this far..」
Hhhhhhhhhhhh.
Sometimes there was a mixture of sobbing laughter in the blowing wind.
Amkena looked around in a daze, but Niall was nowhere to be seen..
“Amkena..”
It was the voice of a familiar colleague that woke her up.
Terrified, Amkena grabbed the man without her knowing him..
But it passed as it was, and I was on my feet.
“…….”
Come on..
Why did it pass??
Like this, right next to you..
Yurnet smiled wryly..
“Hey, where the hell is this??”
“Well. Where should I call it? It's too dense a concentration of chaos to call it a gap in construction..”
Yurnet said.
“And there, the place is denying our existence. Somehow, I can't go there..”
“Yes.?”
I can't come.?
Amkena extended her hand to Jurnet..
I'm gonna be right next door..
Don't touch it..
Like a holographic video, even if you try to touch it, it will pass through the throng.
“This, imho.”
“Sorry, Amkena. The wavelengths of the dimensions have diverged..”
“So what happens??”
“For a while, we won't be able to meet each other..”
Amkena's eyes trembled.
So, I was left alone in this scary space.?
“Why did it happen??”
“Maybe Amkenah's car crashed in the World Tower, and he accepts it. In the process…….”
The original plan was to complete the mission, Black Thunder and Amkena to Yurnet's space It was to be recovered by magic..
But in the black hole that appeared before him, Amkena was swallowed first. I threw it away..
“Sorry..”
Yurnet looked inveterate..
“Obviously, we put a space spell on it.…….”
I took Amkena on the way..
I couldn't understand Jurnet..
The speed that took Amkena away is too fast..
But it was like I was waiting..
It seemed to have been picked up in advance, and it sucked in an instant..
“Excuse me.…….”
“Maybe it's because of me..”
“What are you talking about??”
“Somehow, I feel the same way I did then..”
Right, the first place I faced the boy..
I was in the subway..
What can I say about this?.
The landscape is completely different, but it smells the same as it was then.
Amkena recalled a conversation she had with the boy before she broke up.
At the last moment, the boy had said.
We'll meet again..
Maybe from then on, she's been a " mark.".
Somehow, that was why the defense against the abduction was so poor.
Still…….
We will meet again.
‘Well, I mean, this is what I mean..’
So apart.
Left alone, you have to reunite with that monster..
“…….”
I want to go back..
Wouldn't it have been stupid to get involved in this?.
In the first place, she is a regular.
On the other hand, they are transcendents to Heroes.
From the beginning, from the beginning…….
“Ugh.!”
Amkena shook her head.
No, no, no..
“Amkena..”
“…….”
“Yet, it's not over..”
“What do you like? I can't do anything.…….”
“No, that's your misunderstanding..”
Next to Yurnet.
Siris's Welcome Dawned.
“Anyway, whether we're with or not, the last process of calling the master is You're the only one who can do it..”
“Yes? I didn't end up calling Mr. Han.?”
Go to the end of the World Tower, the closest to the sky, with a statue of Gunma Send the bag blown out of dimension.
Then one Israt takes the battery as a lighthouse and knows where it is. You can.
That wasn't the end of it.?
“There's one thing left..”
Siris shook his head..
Then his gaze turned toward Amkena..
“What only you, who were His Master, could do.”
Master of Taonier and Pure Earthman.
What only Amkena can do.
She blinked, not knowing what it meant.
Boo-woong!
I heard a vibration in my pocket..
Amkena took his hand to his pants and pulled it out.
Older smartphones more than 5 years after replacement.
The power was on, and the notification came up..
[Pick Me Up!]
[The app is updating.]
Update Trani.
In a game that's already over.
Amkena has not cleared the pick Me-up, and the smartphone is the latest What was not changed was to preserve memories.
Used Ji language more than 8 years.
The worn-out battery turns off after less than a few hours, and sometimes the screen Sometimes it's eaten whole..
But she was stubbornly wearing this smartphone.
If you change it to the latest model, you can't leave the pick me-up.
The Pick Me up has already been erased from the app Store.
But it's.
The icon of the memory flashes and informs you of the renewal.
“Do you know, Amkena??”
Yurnet stepped up..
“What you need to do in the future.”
“…….”
“But, I'm here alone…….”
“Not alone. Don't worry. Even far apart, we are together. Surely, we will protect you. So, Master Amkena, please be courageous..”
Jurnet took a step forward..
Its eyes had a transparent color.
“courage, rani…….”
Here I alone.
There's that monster..
“There's something like that for me.…….”
“Courage is not fear. Knowing your fear, it's a step beyond that.”
“…….”
“You know? What you need to do in the future.”
Amkena saw the LCD of the smartphone.
There was a notification that the update was complete.
“First, as I did after installing this game.”
Jurnet said.
“I need you to summon me..”
“……Summon.”
“It's a simple pluck..”
Mobile Pluck.
Commonly spoken Gacha game.
Jurnet's explanation followed.
What she should do.
The hero, Han Israt, is currently wandering through an unknown construction.
Although he sent the gunma statue to blow up the battery and tell him where it was, he The decisive role of bringing up was impossible other than the master, Amkena.
“You're doing that...... .”
Jurnet's words are over..
Amkena gulped his spit..
“That's what you have to do.......”
“Can you do that??”
You have to do that..
It's very shameful.
No, it took a life to leave shame..
You have to face that monster from the front.
‘I'm the only one here..’
But Jurnet said.
Even if you're far away, you'll be sure to protect it..
Can I believe her??
Is that possible??
All kinds of ideas echo in my head..
But in the midst of that hesitation and fear, there is a certain sight that comes to mind.
Amkena looked at the liquid crystal again.
Once, there was a game going on in liquid crystal.
Pick Me Up.
I remember the hero in that game..
‘Taking a step forward while knowing your fear.’
If it was a reality, not a game.
If all the bitter fighting had actually happened.
‘Han Israt.’
The man,
I didn't back down..
In any desperate situation.
I took a step to the end..
Amkena stiffened her eyes..
“I'll do it..”
“Thank you.”
“Before that, I have a favor..”
“If we can do it..”
“I want to know the truth..”
This time, it was Jurnet's turn to shake his head..
“I, I want to know...... Mr. Han, Mr. Yurnet, what are you here fighting for?. What to fight against.”
“…….”
“I want to know everything. What was the game called Pick Me Up. What happened there. From one to ten.”
Some guesses can be made.
But it's just a guess, it's different from the fact..
Amkena just wanted to know..
Because unless she knows the exact facts, she can't be confirmed.
Until we know the whole truth, we'll treat them as heroes in the game. It has no choice..
“Amkena. You can let me know if you want. That's what the game was about. Who we are, and who our enemies are.”
Jurnet's eyes deepened..
“But if you know that, you may be more dangerous.”
“I'm already standing here, and it could be more dangerous.?”
Yurnet laughed..
“Oh, yeah. That's right..”
“Can you tell me?”
“If that's the case, I don't know if this is possible..”
Yurnet looked next to him..
Another welcome came to mind.
It was Aaron..
“It's going to be a pretty long journey..”
Aaron said.
“I don't care, but I don't think things are that slack right now..”
“That's fine. Time doesn't pass in it..”
“If so, it's fine.…….”
“Really, do you mind? To actually face that memory is more painful than I thought.”
It's like something you've been through..
Aaron warned.
However, Amkena's commitment did not change.
“Please do it..”
Maybe it's not a simple word..
“Close your eyes.”
At Aaron's words, Amkena closed her eyes..
You said the dimensions of each other were different..
Even if you're far away, how do you become magical??
“You can open it now..”
Well?
I think it's less than a second since I told you to wind it up..
Amkena opened her eyes at that word..
“AHHHHHHH!”
And I stopped screaming to leak out..
I just closed my eyes and opened it, and the place where she was located was completely different. There were.
The scenery of the ruined Seoul is no longer to be found.
Lighting in front of your eyes is a chandelier on the high ceiling and a candlestick on the wall Intersecting and self-evident Ashraya lights.
Where Amkena stood was the library.
Countless bookshelves were spread out without knowing the end.
In the middle of such a library, a small table was seen.
“No, I'm gonna use this method again..”
The other side of the table.
The silver-haired witch is smiling with her white hood upside down.
“Now, sit down. Amkena..”
“Yeah, yeah.…….”
Incomprehensible.
No, you said the dimension was blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah..
“This is the world in your mind. Fold the slightest question..”
“Yeah, yeah.?”
Amkena decided to convince him..
I've faced anomalies a few times..
She sat on a chair at the table.
“We don't have much room, so we'll hurry up. He said he wanted to know the story of the king.?”
The Story of the King.
It's clear who you're referring to..
Amkena looked up in affirmation..
“It's still an unfinished biography, but it'll be fine until Part 1..”
When Jurnet beckoned, the books on the huge bookshelf came thronging. Stacked on the table.
“You want to know all, not some. From the birth of the king to the first conquest.”
“I want to know. Until you know.”
“Then I'll tell you. Because you deserve it..”
Qualification.
Actually, do you deserve that from me?.
Amkena consulted.
“Huhu. You're also worried about futility..”
“That's it, is it?.”
“In the King's story, the character "Amkena" is really subtracted It's one of the stars that appears. We've never heard each other's voices, we've never seen their faces, but the two of us have never heard each other's voices. I definitely fought for the same goal, so even if I was far away, I would have been far away. In the end, they were connected..”
Yurnet opened his mouth..
“So, you can explain this story like this. It's the story of the hero Israt and Master Amkena..”
Chow Chow chow chow chow..
Finally, the book began to unfold.
* * *
And so,
Amkena understood..
It's not a game..
It wasn't a game..
They were all alive..
* * *
And so,
Amkena saw.
Non-in-game screen,
I saw the lives of the heroes with my own eyes.
Their life and,
Their death and,
Saw their struggle.
* * *
He's not a hero..
I wasn't like a hero..
Including one,
All of them,
Just,
He was just a human being..
* * *
You can know.
That's what I knew..
Not as a Hero vs. a Master,
As Human versus Human.
Who was Han Israt?,
What are you fighting for.
* * *
And so,
Before you open your eyes,
Amkena heard voices.
It was Jurnet's voice..
