“…What did I just hear??”
“Well, first of all, it was the first time I heard this song..”
“It looks like my cousin played it on a toy piano.……?”
“Oh, rude words!”
“note… … . Is there some kind of hidden meaning??”
I got up from my seat, ignoring the commotion..
The princess was still smiling, but rather than maintaining her composure, it seemed she was just frozen in that state..
A face as cracked as a drought-stricken land.?
Of course, it was none of my business, so I ignored it and bowed my head gracefully..
“Thank you for listening. Next, Badniker's proud and respected second brother, Hector, will perform the follow-up song..”
“……!”
Hector looked at me in surprise, but as soon as his gaze was focused, he put on a faint smile and began to control his expression..
Even I almost applauded for a moment at his surprising quickness..
While the girls around me were squealing again, Hector, who had walked to where I was, spoke through gritted teeth..
“…Well, hzmlrg.”
“Sorry.”
“…….”
When Hector sighed quietly and sat down in front of the piano, his face returned to its usual state..
Soon Hector began to play in a sophisticated manner..
Of course, he played much better than someone like me, but to be honest, it's hard to say that the level itself is that high..
Is this just the level of education I learned??
“Wow…….”
“cool.”
“You have great skills.!”
Nevertheless, the nobles praised Hector with bright expressions. There are probably two reasons..
first. The fact that my playing earlier has lowered my ears a lot..
second. The appearance of Hector playing the piano and the posture in which he strikes the keys were like no other pianist of any century..
Hector also attended the banquet as much as me, no. Because his appearance was more stylish than mine, the sight of him playing the piano with the hall in the background was quite believable..
Thankfully, the princess's gaze, which had been fixated on me, turned back to Hector and relaxed..
I approached Seren during that gap..
“…….”
Seren was looking at Hector, or more precisely, at the piano Hector was playing, with slightly blank eyes..
Emotions that were difficult to describe in just a few letters were swirling in his eyes..
“Should I have called you by your name??”
“…what?”
“piano. Because it looks like it wants to hit.”
“Don't pass it on as you wish.”
A cold voice pierced me like an icicle had touched my spine..
It looks like the sharpest thing I've ever seen, and just looking at it, it looks like it did when it touched Yeokrin..
Of course, I am a man who has actually stabbed a snake the size of a dragon..
This level of harshness can't stop me..
“If you don’t want to talk about personal things, shall we talk about something else? Mr. Sihyeon.”
“I don't know what you're talking about.”
“What don't you know? ‘Seren’ already told me everything..”
“I? Did you do that? I'm sorry, but I've been restless and mentally unstable lately, so I sometimes say nonsense. Please understand.”
You came all the way here and made excuses that don't work.?
I looked at this guy with a puzzled look for a moment, but Seren didn't seem to have any intention of revealing the truth easily..
Of course, that doesn’t mean “Ah. “Did you?” And I can't understand it.
Somehow, I felt that if I couldn't delve into this guy's secret right here and now, I would never be able to reveal what Seren was hiding in the future..
“Hey, let's be honest. I have no intention of treating you like a church member. I don't even think I'm crazy. To be honest, I tend to believe what you say..”
“I believe it?”
Seren burst out laughing..
It looks like you don't believe me when I say you believe me.
Actually, I understand..
Two souls in one body?
In general, this is not something that people in this era can easily accept. Even someone with an open mind like me did that..
‘still.’
There is something I learned while experiencing various things in my short life..
Even in things that don’t make sense at first glance, cause and effect exists..
The same would be true for Seren..
I believe there must be some reason why I was the only one who found out about this guy's situation..
“I know the world you lived in.”
“what?”
“To be precise, I heard it.”
“…To whom.”
“my execution.”
Seren paused and mumbled what I said..
“execution?”
“It's long to explain. First of all, he's related to my Gaho, and he's probably from the same world as you..”
“how do you know that.”
“The execution name was similar to yours..”
“It's fun.”
Seren said with a not funny face at all..
“If so, we'll talk quickly. Tell me the name of the executioner..”
“…uh?”
I was momentarily embarrassed by the unexpected request. A look of ridicule crossed Seren's face when she caught a glimpse of my expression..
“You can't speak, right? Because a name is not something you can just come up with. There is a texture that only those who have lived in that culture for a long time can know, and this also varies greatly depending on the era or region..”
I think I vaguely know what you're talking about..
For example, among the fairly famous hero novels, there was a book called [Biography of the Fairy King].…….
It was a hit, selling over 1 million copies in the Empire, but it was not well received by fairies..
The reason was that the character's naming was unsophisticated..
Naturally, the problem arose because the author of [Biography of the Fairy King] was human..
“no. That's not true, it's because my executioner's name is a bit unusual. My brother-in-law hated saying his name, and hated calling it even more. It's a bit unfair for me to talk about that. Is it a matter of privacy??”
“Suddenly my tongue got longer.”
“…….”
Write.
Write it.
Write it down…….
I thought about this and that, but couldn't come up with a clear number..
Is there nothing you can do?.
‘I'm sorry.’
I briefly apologized to the third brother in my head, then opened my mouth..
“good. I'll tell you. I'm going to tell you, so don't go anywhere and say this..”
“There's nothing to say.”
That's right.
I nodded and opened my mouth..
“What is the name of our death sentence?…….”
…And the moment the executioner's name was uttered, a violent change occurred on Seren's face..
“…….”
A look of surprise followed by confusion.
yet.
“…Phew! ha ha ha! Hahahaha!”
Seren burst out laughing..
This is the first time I've seen this guy burst into laughter like this..
The laughter was louder than I expected, which caught the attention of those around me, and the proof was that it was loud enough to pierce the sound of the piano..
I looked at Seren with a shocked face and apologized in my mind once more..
‘I'm really sorry. execution.’
* * *
I came out to the balcony again, taking Seren with me, who was laughing out loud..
Seren laughed for a while and looked at me and said.
“I believe it. you know the earth.”
“okay. Thank you to the point of tears.”
“But what kind of blessing do you have? Can you still talk to that death penalty person? Is it possible for me to meet that person too??”
Seren quickly let out a slightly excited voice..
I was usually lazy, cold, and annoying, and even when we talked, I just felt like I had hit a big wall..
It feels like the wall has been torn down just by talking about the death penalty..
I could feel the deep nostalgia and nostalgia in Seren’s voice. It wasn't a feeling I couldn't understand..
Actually, I also went to Yeongsan and missed my own world for a few years..
Although I was surprised by Seren's new appearance, I responded in a calm tone..
“I've already given you enough answers, right? If there is something that people go to, there must be something that comes to them. Shouldn’t you give an answer soon??”
“that… hmm. yes.”
Seren calmed down her excitement in an instant..
He's definitely a quick-witted guy, so it's easy to talk to him..
I immediately took out Laplace's new book..
“You know this?”
“you… … ! Where on earth did that come from?-.”
“It was stuck in the warehouse of the night gate. I quickly brought it because it had letters engraved on it that were similar to the letters my brother-in-law had taught me. [Attack-Strategy-Home-]… It seems to be written like this. Is it correct to read it like this??”
“…that's right. You really know how to read.”
“So what does [Strategy Guide] mean??”
“well… … . What concept should I use to explain this?.”
Seren, who was embarrassed for a moment, continued speaking..
“…To put it simply, it is a reference book written on how to attack using the fastest, best, and best route.?”
“Like a tactic book?”
“Similar but a little different.”
“Is that so... … . Anyway, I would like to ask you to interpret this content. If it were the language used in the world you came from, it wouldn't be difficult to read.?”
“well. I guess you'll have to see that to find out..”
It's a somewhat lukewarm response..
After wondering for a moment, I came up with a plausible inference..
“Is this the same as the new book you have at home??”
“Probably not. As I said, I'll have to wait to see what's accurate..”
“Then what? Why are you so calm??”
At that time, Seren said something unexpected..
“That's all you want to know about me?”
“huh?”
“Isn’t there something else to ask?.”
“For example?”
“…How I came to possess Seren's body, or rather, why are you asking about my origins?…….”
“it's okay.”
I said with an annoyed face.
“You probably have questions about me too. Something about the death penalty, things in the underworld, etc..”
“ah.”
Did I finally remember that I used an instrument back then?.
Seren's expression changed slightly..
“But that’s not what’s important to us right now, is it? You can talk about trivial things later when you have free time, but right now I am most curious about this book..”
“…That's right.”
Seren smiled helplessly and held out her hand to me..
“good. give me a book.”
“here.”
I quickly handed the book to Seren..
Suddenly, Seren, who was quickly flipping through a book, spoke in a passing tone..
“Some memories are blurry.”
“huh?”
I saw Seren.
This guy's blue eyes had a completely different vibe from when he was screaming earlier, even though they were clearly the same..
It seems like the depth has changed?
If we take the sea as an example, there seems to be as much difference between the surface of the water and the deep sea..
Of course, it may also be because the lighting became a little dim at the time..
Looking at the banquet, the atmosphere was slowly approaching its end..
“Amnesia or something like that??”
“Please be different. I remember who I am and what I did, but there are vague memories here and there. The name of the cafe I used to go to often, the nickname of a friend I was quite close with, and the scenery of the park I saw every morning are all blurry..”
“I didn't forget it?”
“It could be so. But something feels strange.”
What does this guy want to say??
After looking at that face for a moment, Seren, who was reading a book, quickly got to the point..
“What is clear is that I have encountered this world before on Earth..”
“I heard that?”
“okay. maybe with a game.”
“…game?”
When I tilted my head, Seren laughed..
“You definitely don't seem to be from Earth. I saw you were puzzled about that part..”
“What do you mean??”
“It's long to explain. However, games on Earth are completely different from chess in this world. It gives you a much more expansive, professional, and amazing experience. Just like traveling through a separate world..”
Of course, it was not easy to understand because I had never heard anything like this from my third brother..
Anyway, Seren, who was flipping through the book, returned it to me after a while with a somber expression on her face..
“I already read it all?”
“okay. To be exact, I only read half of it..”
“ok?”
“The prophecy, no. The strategy book is written in a language I don't know..”
“what?”
I asked with a puzzled look on my face..
“Hey, I read the text on the cover. And I confirmed that the same text was written inside..”
Just because I don't know this language in detail doesn't mean I'll miss out on its features..
This is because there are rules or standards that exist for letters..
Finding unity among the listed characters was actually not that difficult..
But Seren shook his head and said.
“You didn't read the end of this book?”
“huh? uh…….”
That's what I heard and saw.
I watched it until about halfway through, and couldn't figure it out at all, so I skimmed through it..
“I guess so. ruler. look. How does the language change from the middle here?.”
While saying that, Seren opened the page and showed it to me, but the text was definitely a bit unfamiliar..
“This…….”
“… It was a game made overseas. It was probably a French company, but this strategy book was only halfway through what was written in French. Of course, I don't know the slightest bit of French..”
I don't know what you're talking about, but the conclusion is simple..
“Then, from the middle, you can't read either.?”
“okay.”
Seren sighed..
“The one at Goodspring’s headquarters is similar. It's a [setting book], and thanks to it, I was able to know the approximate timeline of events. The game company had a strong otaku personality, so even the chronology was written in a vague tone..”
“hmm. It's a word that catches a cloud.…….”
I recalled part of the content of the new book that Seren shared at the academy..
- …The second full moon, the reddest river of twilight, will reach all the way to the dark sky. When despair and grief swirl and destroy the tree of knowledge, the river of blood dyes the full moon in its own colors..
It's definitely not a good explanation...
“Then there is no answer?”
“I can't learn the language of another world, so there's nothing I can do... And I was feeling discouraged until recently..”
“……?”
“I found a clue.”
“oh. when?”
“When I'm with you.”
While saying that, Seren took something out of her arms. The appearance of metal with a smooth surface is somehow familiar to the eye..
“that?”
“[[smartphone].”
“Smartphone?”
“You can think of it as a high-tech magic tool equipped with many functions. It runs on electricity. There is a translation function built into it, and if you use it, you may be able to interpret the language of the book to some extent..”
“oh?”
I also said with joy.
“Then supply electricity and turn it on..”
“Easier said than done. This is a delicate device. If you handle it carelessly, it can turn into a tin can..”
I'm also bad at machines. Seren added and continued..
“So, I tried to find a craftsman with an excellent eye, make him fully understand this structure, and then entrust him with charging it. Of course, it will be extremely difficult, but.”
“okay? So will this help??”
I showed him another piece of loot I got from the Yajangmun Warehouse..
“that……!”
Seren was surprised..
“[Auxiliary battery]!”
“…Could you please stop using jargon??”
I can't talk to him, really..
