31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 82)
Tuk.
Tuuk.
The corpses that had surrounded the hall until the end and threatened them all fell to the ground..
Snowfall looked back at Karen with a cold expression..
“…good job.”
“what?”
“For not forgiving.”
She was still angry with Gunt..
Snowfall put her hand on her shoulder..
“calm down. Because the villagers are shocked.”
“Remember what Gunt said?”
“There's so much talk, I can't remember everything.”
“I'm saying that if you're weak, you can't be evil..”
“…remember.”
It was true that Gunt's environment was disadvantageous..
However, that did not serve as a defense for the evil he committed..
It was just the cry of an angry villain..
However, if there was one sentence that stuck in my throat like a fish thorn among his words, it was that..
- If you are weak... Am I even deprived of the right to be evil??
- what are you talking about….
- Since I'm weak, should I be kind and quietly accept the life I've been given??
Karen touched her forehead..
It seemed quite shocking to her that someone so weak could do something with such endless malice..
“Was it a struggle to be rescued from its own fate??”
“Even so, Gunt took the wrong direction and sank..”
“okay.”
Kang Seol said that and searched the dead body of Gunt..
Zech-
Fortunately, the liquid stored in a sturdy bottle remained intact..
[Obtain a sleeping pill.]
[A Hypocrite's Memento is created.]
[When the time limit runs out or you select a reward, you can finish the adventure..]
Snowfall generally concluded the adventure at this point.
However, he headed to the house where Gunt was staying without confirming the reward..
Clap.
The door to Gunt's dorm was easily opened, as if he usually left the door open..
The process of finding what I wanted was easier than I thought..
“found.”
[Acquire Gunt's Bag.]
Snowfall naturally handed the bag to Karen..
At the same time, he handed me a dagger that he carried for throwing purposes..
“Check it.”
“wait for a sec….”
Squeak.
Karen gently ripped off the handle of the bag and saw powder wrapped in cloth..
“I think it's right.”
“Let's go to the villagers.”
They approached the hall..
Jamad and the people were fighting across the hall door..
“Ugh… Do not come! You monster!”
“It's not wrong, but it's a little disappointing that fairies are welcomed but trolls are treated poorly..”
Kangseol smiled and approached Jamad..
Jamard spoke to Kang Seol like a child telling his teacher about a mistake made by another child..
“They treat me like a monster?”
“I did it because I was surprised..”
“Hmm, this is why I don’t like humans very much. Everything is self-centered. A race that believes the universe works for them..”
“Maybe so.”
“Well, that's it. She has finished her work and goes to sleep. Work hard until the end, fairy.”
Karen nodded..
Maybe she lost her sense of playfulness after what happened, but she didn't joke around like she usually did..
Whirling-!
As Jamad disappeared into the shadow space, Snowfall knocked on the door of the hall where the villagers were gathered..
“It's okay now, you can come out..”
“Is that true? Are those monsters no more??”
“They all fall to the floor and don't move..”
“Mr. Gunt… No, what about Gunt??”
“…died.”
“…….”
It's good…
Corpses scattered everywhere.
The village adult, who was looking at the corpses of monsters that gave off a bad smell and frowned at the residents, closed his eyes and muttered..
“Oh my... Why is this happening?….”
“…It's all over.”
“Is this all the work of the devil, Gunt??”
Kang Seol nodded..
And we counted the people coming out of the hall and confirmed that there was no harm to them..
“Gunt had a cancellation contract..”
“Cancellation… What do you mean??”
“It's a cure for the fog disease..”
“…oh my god. that that… Is the amount sufficient??”
“I think it will be enough for the villagers to take it..”
“uh… Hey, what happens to other villages then??”
Kang Seol shook his head..
“He confessed that he killed them all. I think they used this visit as an excuse to turn everyone into monsters..”
“That can't be... What a terrible man he was, Gunt.!”
“Anyway, we need to hurry up and get ready to administer the medication to the patients..”
“All right! Hey guys, move! Let's all come forward and help this person.!”
From then on, it was all smooth sailing..
Some of the people came forward and put the bodies on a cart, gathered them in one place, and burned them..
And that included Gunt..
A huge pot and water to fill it.
Then, they collected clean cloths and carefully wiped the bodies of those who were in critical condition..
pong.
Jorororo…
A thick, dense liquid poured into the pot. Soon, the color of the liquid in the pot changed to cloudy..
Kang Seol put it in another glass bottle..
[drug to wake you up]
Grade: Rare
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.2kg
Medicines that are effective only for specific symptoms.
made by gunt.
There is no major problem even if taken incorrectly..
Special Ability: Recover from falling asleep illness.
Intuitive and easy-to-understand effects.
Kang Seol nodded and confirmed that the medicinal properties were not false..
After Kang Seol's verification, the medicine was divided into certain quantities and placed in glass bottles and distributed to all patients..
gulp… gulp…
To prevent patients from spitting up the medicine, caregivers moved their throats to force them to swallow it..
Some time passed, and the villagers and Kang Seol, who had finished all the work, watched them again in the hall..
and.
“eww… Ugh….”
“Hmm….”
Patients began to wake up.
“Me, really.!”
“The medicine is working!”
“thank you… Thank you, hehe… Ugh….”
“It is salvation. Can something like this happen?!”
While people were coming to their senses, Karen and Kang Seol's attention was all on one woman..
The woman who helped Snowfall settle down in Water Mist Village without difficulty and helped Karen calm her anxious mind while staying here..
“Sarah, wake up. It's time to wake up.”
Karen held Sarah’s cold hand and lowered her head..
In contrast to the cries praising the miracle heard around them, Snowfall and Karen's silence became heavier..
flinch.
“…uh?”
flinch... flinch…
“Move your fingers! Sarah, wake up!”
Karen fussed and held her hand tightly..
“eww… Ugh… it hurts… frozen… you….”
“Three, three! It happened?”
“Too tight... I held it.”
“Oh, really? sorry. I'll let go.”
Sarah’s eyes slowly opened..
[Healed all survivors in Watermist Village.]
[Achieve the achievement ‘Overcoming illness’.]
[Obtain the title “Quack”.]
- sex-fire
- I am free from this hell ㅠㅠ
- What kind of trouble is this because of the real Gunt bastard?!!
Sarah raised her creaking body with difficulty and placed her waist against the head of the bed..
“I ended up falling asleep.?”
“okay. I fell asleep and just woke up.”
“…I see. But how did I wake up??”
“that….”
For a moment, people stopped talking and focused on what Kang Seol said..
Because it was he who ended all of this, and it was he who would organize its meaning..
He deserved it..
“I found a solution.”
“ah! Did Mr. Gunt do it? thank god….”
“…….”
“By the way, what about Mr. Gunt??”
A choice appeared before Kangseol’s eyes..
[Sera from Water Mist Village asks about Gunt's whereabouts. How would you answer?]
1. All of this is Gunt's doing..
2. Gunt is the devil! He put you in hell..
3. Thanks to the cooperation of the villagers, the monster was able to be driven out..
4. Gunt is dead.
……
Snowfall told her.
“Mr. Gunt has left..”
“yes? He left?”
“Because this isn’t the only sick person in the world. He said he would never come back again.”
“that… Without even saying goodbye….”
The villagers looked at the snowfall.
I hope you will denounce Gunt as the devil..
However, although it may relieve everyone's anger, it will leave a scar on Sarah..
Karen held Kang Seol’s hand..
She didn't want Sarah to suffer any more. She wanted to cover up the dark side of her world and show the bright side, just for now..
“Sarah, Mr. Gunt told you to take care of yourself..”
“…What a relief. uh? But what is that fire over there??”
The bodies were buried in pits and burned, so it was natural that smoke could be seen from anywhere in the village..
“Well, I'm burning this and that..”
“Oh, you're burning items used by patients..”
“Roughly things like that.”
“It feels warm just looking at it.”
Karen said, holding Sarah's hand..
“The bad dream is over now, Sarah..”
* * *
After Kangseol's group finished their work, they were moving to their base the next day..
Snowfall, which had a bitter taste in the previous long-distance adventure, is moving to the nearby city of Audenin to use base-to-base movement..
It was going to take some time to walk, but if you use a carriage from the base anyway, the time will be much shorter..
Karen blurted out something to Kang Seol, as if she remembered what happened yesterday..
“thank you.”
“what?”
“That's what you said.”
“Gunt left.?”
“huh.”
“It's true that I went somewhere.”
- Because I went to hell.
- Honestly, I was scared of the Gunt dog ㅡㅡ
- What's so scary about that? Haha, I'm not scared if I sleep with my mom.
- It wasn't that strong, but I felt like I didn't want to deal with him..
- He was a real, darkened villain..
- The conversation is even more creepy.
- Snowman has a great mentality. really;;
Karen laughed at Kang Seol’s words and tapped him on the shoulder..
“1I'll give you points.”
“what score?”
“If I complete all the points, I will serve you wholeheartedly..”
“I'm interested. What score is perfect??”
“100dot.”
“What score is it now??”
“1dot.”
- Fuck I don’t do it!
- (Seriously) I will stop playing this crazy game of chicken..
- The point distribution is so salty haha.
- ㄴㄴ This is a retreat meta haha. Then, at the end, I give 100,000 points.
- 1 million cheer points for Gryffindor~!
- Hahaha
Jamard, who was moving with the reward box from this adventure, said:.
“Stop it, Snowman. Don't talk back to that fairy.”
- What is this? no way! What my future self says?
- S...T...A...Y...
- Jamad is Jinseong Gukbap’s summon animal.!
- Let's get rid of this kind of ignorance.!
“Trolls over there, please be quiet..”
“Sheesh, so when are you opening this??”
“Is it heavy? Poor thing… Should I listen to it??”
“…Don't say anything.”
The reason I haven't opened the reward box yet is because Karen suggested that I take it far away and open it, saying it doesn't seem like it should be opened in Water Mist Village, the exact place where something terrible happened..
“It's a joke. Then slowly….”
“Karen, take this..”
“hmm? letter?”
“It's a letter telling me to give it to you when Sarah leaves the village because she's embarrassed..”
Sigh-
Kangseol handed Karen a letter..
Karen and Kang Seol read the letter together..
- Hi, sister? I don't know if Snowman would have listened to my request..
Karen’s expression changed colorfully..
Because it was a letter from Sarah, who was the first point of contact with her after she became a shadow..
- Thanks to these two people, I and everyone in the village became happy. thank you so much.
I felt happy and then.
- Actually, the reason I wrote you a letter is because I have something I want to say to my sister. Are you surprised??
I was surprised.
- From the moment I first saw my sister, I admired her. He was the person closest to my dreams! You are amazingly beautiful and amazingly strong. I have been weak since I was young, so I always wanted to become stronger..
“Sarah, you are strong enough.”
- If I become stronger, won't more people rely on me? I'm weak and slow, so people sometimes get frustrated..
“…….”
- What will it feel like to be strong? Can we deliver hope to people living in difficult times in this world? I may never know, but I want to know
I could feel Karen's hand tightening as she held the letter..
- My sister is a strong person. Wouldn't it be possible for you, my sister, to find out the answers to my questions someday? When that time comes, even if you're passing by here, I hope you'll stop by and let me know..
Karen read the remaining letters of the letter carefully, one by one..
“Will there someday be a world where no one suffers??”
“…….”
“under… really….”
As Kang Seol and Karen read the last sentence of this letter, they were remembering someone's words..
It was Gunt.
- Heroes are lazy. You didn't save me. me… me….
Snowfall asked Karen.
“What are you thinking about?”
she said, folding the letter neatly.
“Roughly… Thinking about becoming more diligent? troll! To celebrate how diligent I am, I have to open that box right now! Put it down!”
“…I can't figure it out at all. At one point, they said it wasn't polite and asked us to open it later with dead faces..”
“Uh-huh! Don't pout! I have to keep moving forward using the newly acquired equipment as nourishment! Now, open!”
- Hey, hey, are you crying??
- (Put your head under the desk) Hey! Guys! This bastard is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
- Oh, don’t cry! (Sobbing up a storm)
- I'm just yelling at Jamard for no reason lol.
- Jamard has a really good personality.
- Because he's a troll... What is that... Let's do it loudly
- Yeah, I really like it.
Karen kicked the box Jamard had put down and opened it..
Clap-
Hwaaaaa-
[Check the hypocrite's belongings.]
