Duke, Please Repent! chapter 93

22. The Duke and the Day of Choice (2)

Is it a fantasy novel, possessiveness in a book or something? It is an expression that is difficult to understand in this world.

So, after thinking over and over again, I thought about how to say it so it would be easy for him to understand.

Since it is a word that no one should ever hear, I finally brought out the words that had been circling around in my head.

After I said it, I thought my tone of voice sounded too light. so that

To the extent that I was worried that he might have been more shocked.

These were the words I uttered with great determination.

However .

Right.

Yes?

"What was the reaction?"

I really want to ask What the hell is that reaction?

You can't believe it, you're trying to deceive yourself by saying nonsense again, or how could such a thing be possible?

He didn't ask any questions, he just accepted it casually.

"How do you take it so easily?"

Because there were so many differences in your actions that I had been observing until now. It seems to be understood that you are from another world.

"No, it wasn't like that, was it?!"

What you call a non-dimensional world isn't the heavenly, demonic, or spirit realm. Are you saying that you came from a completely separate world?

Was I that weird?

I took it for granted, analyzed it and sat down.

"That's right it's a long one. Aren't you in a bad mood?"

That's right. 'It came in' means that you didn't have your will for it.

Isn't that the point?!

"Then what is more important?"

That guy's analysis fence... !

You're talking serious things about yourself, so why do you keep analyzing me?

Isn't it a novel? Beyond his past and future, his existence itself is different.

I found out that it was written by someone's hand. How can you be so casual? Aren't you confused?"

If I were in Serpence's position, I would have turned away because I was so angry and unfair, but he looked so rude... .

You seem more confused than me.

So you're making me even more crazy! Why are you so blunt?

It's really crazy and running around.

A little while ago. Didn't you say it with your own mouth? Knowing that it is a real world,

It can no longer be called a novel.

"But even I, didn't I think of serpens as just a part of the game? Do you have no resentment or betrayal? Did you cheat and play with yourself while knowing everything?

Why is that your fault?

" Yes?"

His and mine gazes intertwined in the air for a few seconds. It was Serpens who closed his eyes first.

ha .

Taking a deep breath, Serpens took off his glasses and wiped my face with one hand.

I glanced at the glasses in my other hand for a moment, then put them on the table and looked at me again.

Not beyond the glass in the glasses. That doesn't mean that the shadows were cast by turning the hood over.

Crystal clear, jewel-like eyes were staring straight at me.

You still think of me as simply a novel

Do you think of it as a character in the story?"

no.

Those thoughts were blown away by the wind when he jumped out of the window on the train.

I thought I was pushed back from the interpretation of the story, but if I really treated him as a character in a simple novel, I would have thought that such a thing would be good.

'Because it's not like that.'

Because he was a real person, I wanted to understand him more deeply.

It was not a guess based on the knowledge in the book, but I wanted to see him now and fully understand him.

"It can't be , there's no way."

I believe it will, so it's fine.

Because you're that kind of person I've been watching.

This situation was completely unexpected.

Because of his really unexpected reaction, something inside seems to come up and cry. itchy eyes

all.

uh , are you comforting me now?"

"I was just stating the truth."

With the table in between, he reached out his hand.

I don't have the ability to say things like that myself, so if you need comfort, grab it I一匸匸K

I was full of thoughts of comforting him when he returned from the ceremony, but I didn't know that I would be comforted again.

" Why did you move?"

"If you keep stretching your arms out, your arms will hurt.

oh I'm not as strong as anyone else.

It was just the two of us anyway, so we sat facing each other with a table in between. As a result, the sofa for the upper seat was empty.

And now I sat there and reached out to him.

"But it's hard to talk face-to-face if you sit next to me, isn't it?"

Because you keep doing this, you have no choice but to believe that you are from another world. Isn't there an identity system there?

With a troubled expression, he hands

caught the

Could it be that he was able to safely shed the tears he had been holding for his whole life on his shoulder? Why was it possible to hold my hand when I was anxious and regain my composure?

touched me clearly.

Really, it's not my fault that I cheated on you. Are you saying that?

What do you mean deceiving? Did you not confess that you recognized it because you liked the eyes of people, or that it was a lie?

" not that."

"Anything else?"

...that I'm not Zion Rivelon?

His expression hardened.

It's not that I didn't notice, did I only realize it after hearing it with my own mouth?

The illusion you saw on Semita Street...

"It wasn't Zion, it was 'my' family. To be more specific, it was my older sister. So I could tell it was a fantasy."

His fingers holding each other move a little

I felt stabbed. His eyes fluttered slightly and his expression darkened.

" that, I'm sorry "

Yes?

I think you miss your family a lot... Ummm... Shall I cut you off?

yes i was wrong

Thinking about it again, whether I was Zion Ribel Ron or something that stole that body and sat down. It has nothing to do with him.

'Because I am the only Zion he knows in the first place.'

Just the fact that I'm not Zion

I was obsessed with it, and I was just concerned about it.

No, let's not make an innocent child unemployed. If my older brother is an aide and gets cut after a month, there's something wrong with that.

I guess I hired him because he seemed to miss my family. As well as sending a present to the Rivelon family. It would be a real surprise gift.

but. No matter how good Xeon was, there was no need to hire him because Serpens was out of shape... . uh?

"Wait a minute. Did you just apologize to me?"

That's not what's important right now. You have a lot to ask.

This child speaks scornfully.

Besides, it was difficult to argue and listen when he spoke that way with a desperate expression.

What did you read in that book? Why did you suddenly change your attitude on a topic you were so afraid of at first? Why did you say that you had only read the article, and that I had shown your sincerity in the first place? . And .

He stared at me and slowly opened his eyes. As a result, the clear green eyes disappeared and appeared.

repeated.

Even if you don't ask yourself, I want you to tell me.

I usually use your name, but... . Before, I felt that I was consciously trying not to call myself Zion.

Can I say that last? If I say it first, I don't think I'll be able to talk about anything else.

Do whatever you feel comfortable with.

He had a sad expression on his face, but he thought he was just delaying the order, so he gave in.

I also wanted to tell you right now.

But when I spit it out of my mouth. And if it comes back through his mouth.

'I might really cry... .'

I thought it would be difficult to have any more conversations, so I had no choice but to do it.

"So, first of all, what was the content of the book?"

He responded by nodding his head.

The question I was most worried about]. He felt betrayed by me and avoided losing my trust.

However, that does not mean that all problems have been solved.

'The serpens in the novel should normally have been suspenseful... .'

Still, I was tormented even in my dreams, contemplating how to explain it so that he would receive the least amount of shock.

A Demon King Fence with gray hair appeared, held out his hand, and said, 'Zion, will you fall for it?'

It's a book titled [Master of the Holy Sword]... that's what it is .

"The prince must be the main character, and I am evil.

station?

It saved me the trouble of explaining. As I hesitated, he spoke first.

'Since when did you notice?'

Whatever it is, are you going to put it out of my mouth?

I shot him with a lot of absurd feelings.

You've been leaking clues for a long time, aren't you?

Yes, it's all my fault.

It wasn't what I was aiming for, but thanks to that, I think it was a buffering effect.

"That's right, to be more specific Maybe someone is listening to the conversation here, right?"

It's not. If I had, I'd have noticed.

If it's Serpence, then that's it. Then you can safely say it.

It was the final boss, the biggest villain in the work.

" final? It's not the Demon Lord . Will I be summoning the Demon Lord?"

It's not that much... It steals the power of the Demon King and becomes something like the Demon Lord.

... O Uh ---9 - 口

It seems he didn't even expect this.

At best, he must have thought of him as an executive of a demon worshiping faction, similar to Winston, who would think that he would become the demon lord after striking the demon lord in the back?

For the content beyond imagination, he pointed this forehead.

"Why why would you do that"."

I don't know.

why?

In the play, Serpens doesn't speak.

Because it wasn't.

As time goes on, his expression becomes more and more bizarre.

If there is a corrupt fence in front of him, grab him by the collar and shout, 'What the hell are you doing?!'

"Serpence in [Master of the Holy Sword] was always like that. He didn't say anything . He didn't show his sincerity to anyone."

That Mo Huo, who laughed happily while tormenting others, was not really enjoyable.

It is true that his mind is getting more and more exhausted and drenched in madness... .

'Even so, 'Serpens is never a person who enjoys slaughter.'

you can be sure

In [Master of the Holy Sword], he is also for everyone on the continent. to readers outside the novel.

He hid himself so thoroughly that

About absorbing the power of the Demon King.

I told Serpens that I didn't know, but in fact, I guessed it.

He just .

'I just wanted to destroy myself.'

The reason for accepting the power of the Demon King was to throw away the divine power.

'Did he believe that if he completely erased the image that people had imposed on him, he would even be freed... .'

There were few people who gave up their innate divine power, but there were quite a few.

But for some reason, Serpens couldn't do that.

'The divine power is so strong, I could not even dream of making a contract with the devil.'

It's okay to make others suffer

No, the purpose is to destroy oneself through it.

He was delighted to feel that he was breaking down.

That was the source of the madness he felt in [Master of the Holy Sword].

'How the hell am I supposed to talk like this!'

I didn't know anything else, but this was the only thing I couldn't talk about even if I died.

But for just one moment. The last moment when he was dying, almost the recollection of his past.... The first and last true feelings he showed. It was an opportunity for me to try to understand you.

" that's why I said that."

He frowned and smiled bitterly.

And the overall story and development is very long...

Now that the question is solved, let's talk about it slowly later.

"Then, um ah, the sudden change of attitude

Before talking, I looked again at Serpence's eyes.

"It's okay, so please tell me."

A very savvy bastard.
