I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes - Chapter 51



51 – Additional Personnel (5)

I hurriedly went downstairs.

I saw people with anxious faces outside the open door of the hotel.

About six people couldn’t get through the door as if something was blocking them.

Looks like you need my permission.

“Welcome.”

“Yes. How are things over there?”

“I’m still calm as to whether there’s an immediate chase.”

“Is that so?”

I heard a brief explanation of the situation from Seonhwa Lee, who greeted me.

– Jeobuck.

I dare to walk in front of it while making footsteps—.

Even though I already knew it, I said it as if it was absurd.

“What is this?”

“Ah…”

Then the person standing in the lead looks at me.

She was a beauty with her hair, which was starting to have a slight reddish tint, braided back, and a lush green in her eyes.

As she looked at me and drew in her breath, I could see for a moment that her chest swelled to a size similar to Seol-i’s.

… He must have been very nervous.

She is trying hard to erase the scene she accidentally saw.

“Please help me.”

“Hmm.”

A sudden request came.

I never thought you would ask for help like this.

“I don’t know why you’re doing this all of a sudden. Who is it—Do you know Hiroto-san?”

“He…probably doesn’t know.”

“If that’s the case, I think we might be in trouble. We don’t know the situation and we can’t help.”

There are people who should be responsible for her as well.

“…That’s it.”

She opened her mouth slowly, like a student telling her teacher the whole story.

I heard the story like that.

Hiroto after arguing with Akane about how people treat him in the inn.

I almost imprisoned her… It is said that he went out to ‘hunt’ those who did not come into his quarters, that is, his command.

The reason why I dared to use the word hunting——was because there wasn’t even room for it.

No surrender or conversion, just kill.

It is said that she got tired of being like that and escaped with a few of her usual followers.

At least this way where we don’t attack.

“Huh.”

“…Without even giving me a chance to convince myself…I haven’t done that before…Why all of a sudden…”

After she finished her explanation, she put on a distressed expression, as if it was difficult just to say it.

There was something that bothered me more than her tears.

Hiroto kills as if he must be killed, and Akane mumbles that he has suddenly changed.

The former was something a regressor with a bit of taste would do.

‘We regressors weren’t like that.’

That was the reason Seoyeon ran away as soon as she found out that she had grown up on the first day.

In addition, if you assume that the sudden change of the latter occurred at the time of regression or looking into the future, it roughly fits.

But….

‘If this happens, Hiroto will openly become a regressor.’

In fact, it’s so blatant that I wonder if Akane is lying about being a regressor.

… Nothing is certain yet, so let’s move on.

“I understand the situation.”

“Thank you…”

“But we can’t accept people who can’t do their part in the Tower.”

Let’s politely ask if everyone wants to fight.

As if she noticed what I meant, she forced herself to control her emotions and started to appeal to herself.

“Others have skills enough to be recognized by the orcs in the battle on the 1st floor… I have the power to heal.”

“Yes.”

“…I’m sure it will help.”

It was a simple appeal that contained only facts.

A few skilled fighters and healers.

It was a very coveted transaction.

What she bestowed on us with her healing powers couldn’t stand the scales.

In the first place, even if she didn’t make a promise, if there was a patient, she would treat it at will.

It was clear from the fact that he healed the people who attacked Hiroto, who was an ally earlier.

So what I had to put on the scale was not ‘I will treat someone’.

… It was ‘whom not to treat’.

“In exchange for accepting it, I would like you to provide that healing power only to our own personnel.”

“…Yes?”

“I don’t want to leave anything that could be a threat to my people.”

“But…”

“This may sound a bit harsh, but in this tower, it’s normal.”

Akane, who heard me, bit her lower lip in disbelief.

“But it’s my job to heal people.”

“My job is to protect my people.”

“I’m sorry…”

“I will not let your ideals put my people’s lives at risk.”

At my rant, Akane shrugs her shoulders.

… Should I do this

“You said your job was to heal people.”

My opponent is weaker than I thought, so if I put more pressure on him, I’ll leave this place.

“Okay. Of course I can give you a chance to convince me.”

“Ah…”

But—

“Failed to persuade, or was tricked——he healed the enemy who was still hostile to our side.”

Let’s say that and look back slowly to refresh the atmosphere.

I saw the colleagues who passed through the first floor together – even Seoyeon, who had returned before I knew it.

‘Now I can open it freely.’

“What if my subordinate lost his life to that human who was cured?”

– Serung.

All eyes are focused on the cool sound of a sword being suddenly pulled out.

“Mr. Akane.”

“Yes, yes.”

“It’s as if you killed it. At least I think so.”

“….”

In the ensuing silence, I calmly continued.

“If you’re going to do anything, you’ll have to do it right.”

“Okay…I’ll keep that in mind.”

“That’s all right…I apologize for using a threatening tone.”

“Oh, no, that’s why you care about your colleagues.”

… Be good

[You have accepted the position.]

I ended up accepting their position.

I was also contemplating on how to effectively monitor the division.

“-Hick.”

I averted my gaze for a moment at the frightened sound of short breathing.

Then, I followed Akane’s startled gaze….

“Seolah?”

“…I haven’t done anything yet.”

‘Not yet?’

There was a word attached to it that bothered me.

For now, I decided to check Akane’s condition.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s great, ah. It’s okay.”

I looked down at her without a word as she chewed her tongue as if she was quite surprised.

“…Really fine.”

“Why did you do that?”

“That’s…so horrible things….”

“Terrible?”

Let’s give it another glance because there’s something about Seol who is a necromancer.

– Dori Dori

Seol-i shook his head as if he was unfair.

What is it really?

“Have you ever seen ghosts… Since you were little?”

“Uh…”

“Um…”

At the unexpected remark, Seol-i and I were silent.

Akane strode towards Seol-i.

“That, Mr. Seol? I’m sorry for the rude reaction.”

“Oh, yes.”

“But if it stays like that, I’m sure there will be problems.”

“Huh…?”

Seol-i took a step back at that excessive favor.

Akane didn’t care and took two steps closer.

“Hey?”

“Now Mr. Seol is a very dangerous soul, no, there are spirits attached to him, so if he goes on like this…”

“Wait a minute?”

“But with my ability, I’ll be able to stop it even for a moment…!”

… It’s amazing.

Even though I just pointed a knife at you, you spoke so confidently as soon as a patient (spiritual) appeared in front of you.

In a way, it’s a positive thing.

‘Because the charges of regressor and espionage haven’t been completely resolved yet.’

I stopped her myself, keeping her alert.

“Don’t get too close.”

“But…”

“If you refuse, you don’t need treatment.”

“Ah.”

Then Akane made a sad sound.

When she saw it, she was even a little impressed.

‘… You have to be at this level to become a healer.’

I honestly don’t know.

Seoyeon’s ability – According to the fundamental theory, she must have acquired the ability to heal because she is a worthy person.

As I said before, it must be a person who can’t just look at the patient in front of him and pass by.

‘Even so, it’s a bit harsh.’

Looking at him, he is the kind of person who will treat you secretly if you were relieved with the same verbal promise earlier.

I need someone to properly monitor and decide who to treat.

… There is also a chance that Akane is a half-regressor or a spy sent by a regressor.

It is concluded that the person to be monitored is absolutely necessary.

‘Then, who can I entrust? .’

At first, I thought of Seoyeon.

It’s okay if it’s only in her inn, but it’s rather a loss if she’s chained to Akane on her second floor.

‘… Then there is only Lee Seon-hwa.’

Of course, Healer usually goes with me.

As much as I stand in the forefront, I can’t check until the healer in the back does something suspicious.

So this is Seonhwa Lee.

Since it is located in the middle, behind Seoyeon as much as it holds a spear, there are many points of contact with Seol-i and Akane, who are in the rear,

I don’t know why, but he’s very sensitive to my commands.

Because they are of the same s*x, there will be fewer things to be uncomfortable about.

In many ways, it was the most appropriate.

‘… Since I’m a knight, even if an unsavory incident happens, I can at least inform the situation.’

Of course, we should make sure that doesn’t happen.

‘Shall I ask Seoyeon for Lee Seonhwa’s special training?’

Now Seonhwa Lee is not that weak, so I think she will become much stronger if she learns the Mana Sim method.

If she showed loyalty beyond her needs, wouldn’t it be okay for her to tell her enough?

-“Those who have just entered areolate themselves on the same floor… Please separate them saying that only Akane-san will be given a nice room.”

-“Okay.”

-“If you think there’s going to be a problem, bring in some people.”

-“Yes.”

… Well, since Seoyeon is there, she should be able to take care of herself.

After leaving the rest of the work behind.

I spend the night with Seol-i and have a refreshing morning—.

[Enter the second floor a day later.]

─It was an almost refreshing morning.

… It’s slowly starting again.
