Episode 56. Deal with Charon (1)
“ha… … .”
A sigh of relief flowed from my mouth as I reached the front of the room.
Luna wasn’t joking when she said she wouldn’t take even a single step.
In fact, not a single step was lost.
I never would have thought that the dormitory would be the only place where I could avoid Luna’s eyes.
‘I need to think seriously about recruiting new colleagues.’
It won’t be easy due to my narrow-eyed nature, but I have to do it.
If I don’t get Luna a new toy, it won’t be surprising if it breaks tomorrow.
Dalkak-.
I opened the door and entered the room.
Although it was late at night, the room was not that dark.
Because blue moonlight was coming through the window.
It was bright overall except for the corners.
“… … .”
I looked around, but nothing had changed since I left.
Of course there were no people.
But I could feel it intuitively.
In my room.
‘… … ‘Is there something?’
Why is it a question? This is because the shape of that ‘something’ was not visible.
But I was sure there was something in my room.
[Extra senses] kept sending me signals.
‘In the game, a red box indicates where something is… … .’
This is reality.
I glanced around and looked around, but I couldn’t see anything like a red box.
Instead, it was as if I could feel it instinctively and sensuously.
Like the word ‘extra sense’.
‘It’s not like an illusion.’
As you can see from [Mental Defense] and [Imitation of God], skills exert absolute power in this world.
Additionally, [Extra sense] is an S-class skill obtained through potential gambling.
This skill is equivalent to the two skills listed previously.
I couldn’t dismiss it as a simple illusion.
‘Extra sense is a skill that lets you know that something is nearby.’
In the game, you can interact with it by going near the red box or using the trap disarming skill nearby.
This is my room.
There is no way the trap was set up in less than a day.
Then again.
‘It’s most likely a person.’
As I concentrated my consciousness, it became clear.
In front of the closet, in the dark corner of the room.
There was something there.
‘First of all, we are not enemies.’
If it had been an enemy, it would have attacked me right away.
The basic idea of a surprise attack is to do it before the opponent notices.
There is no need to waste time like now.
‘no way… … ‘Is it Luna?’
If so, you are truly a crazy stalker.
As soon as we broke up, he came into the room before me and hid there?
I felt a little cold sweat running down my back.
‘No, that won’t be it.’
Normally, I would have thought that it was most likely Luna.
But no matter how much I thought about it, it was physically impossible.
It was one thing to come in before me, but Luna’s skills were too low to even be able to hide.
then.
‘It must have been someone sent from Teronpa or Eurydiapa.’
10 stores. And even the first certificate of recognition bearing the president’s seal.
I will make them belong to my faction even through counter-threats.
It must have been the person who sent it for that.
‘what. ‘You were surprised for no reason, right?’
Although he has great stealth skills, he is ultimately an academy student.
[Ilsum] It’s a one-shot cut.
On the other hand, he may have been trying to threaten me by pointing a weapon from behind.
‘For me, who waged hellish psychological warfare with Charon, this is nothing.’
That’s all. Charon the Murder Tank really strangles you.
I felt for a moment what death was like at his hands.
To me, pointing a weapon was just child’s play.
‘I have no intention of entering either Teron or Euridia.’
I didn’t want to intervene and change the future.
You can easily deal with it by using [One Summon], but if you make a mistake, you will end up killing that innocent student.
then.
‘He bluffs and makes himself withdraw.’
Heo Jangseongse (虛張聲勢).
But what the strong do is not bravado.
‘Leisure’.
Grumble-.
I took out a chair and sat down.
The closet is on the other side.
In other words, I have now turned my back on an unknown enemy.
In times like these, it is important to have the luxury of pretending that nothing is wrong.
I know that someone has sneaked in, but I can afford to take down you at any time.
‘I was pretending not to know, but in fact I knew everything! It feels like that.’
Okay. I think it’s cool too.
Now, let’s put our thoughts into practice.
“Hehe, what’s going on? “It seems like it’s too late to have fun.”
There was no answer, but there was no need to worry.
‘He must be so embarrassed that he doesn’t know what to do.’
Now, ‘Hehe, show yourself. After saying, ‘There’s no need for us to fight.’
All you had to do was give it a good pat and send it out of the room.
‘If you want to surprise me, you’ll have to bring Charon with you, right?’
It was time to think like that.
A voice came out of the darkness.
“… … bouncer.”
A voice heard from thin air.
Thanks to the power of [Mental Defense], it wasn’t noticeable, but my whole body gained strength without me knowing.
Because it was a voice I knew well.
It was also a voice I could never forget after the ant cave.
Slurp-.
The darkness in front of the closet soon transformed into a single shape.
In the form of a person standing on two feet.
“You have quite a bit of bravado.”
Bad ending maker Charon.
He appeared before me.
“… … .”
Charon said nothing.
‘You must have been surprised.’
Charon’s stealth level is master level.
It’s not at a level that a fifteen-year-old student can notice.
The irony is that I was also surprised.
‘Why are you here?’
If I had known sooner, I would have welcomed it with grandeur.
Then there wouldn’t have been such an awkward situation.
The situation ended with everyone laughing haha.
Why has it become so twisted?
“… … bouncer.”
There was anger in Charon’s voice.
It was worth it.
‘Hehe, what’s going on? ‘It seems like it’s too late to have fun.’
If I were Charon, I would have punched a hole in his head.
‘Well, from the looks of it, I’ve already sorted things out.’
then.
This is my number 18, a deadly and shameless plan.
“Hehe, Teacher Karon, what is going on here?”
“I came to see you.”
My heart was pounding.
Let’s not be mistaken. That’s not a love confession.
It’s a murder confession.
“Hehe, today’s show was fun.”
“… … “Shut up.”
Charon clicked his tongue as if he was annoyed.
The act of desperately trying to kiss each other while giving an award certificate.
It seems that he got annoyed when he dismissed it as a show.
“Hehe, but why did you give me a certificate? “Didn’t you tell me to refrain from doing anything that stands out?”
“… … “It’s an adult’s situation.”
Dwenor’s liking for me.
And I know very well that he received the award because of his stubbornness.
But you have to ask.
‘Because Charon might think it’s strange.’
Promised to refrain from any noticeable actions.
But you don’t question the award?
Charon will immediately become suspicious.
Did I have a hand in it or do I know Dwenor?
‘Or maybe both.’
So it is right to ask this question.
The question, ‘Why did you give me a certificate after telling me to stay in hiding?’ means that it is an essential question to avoid suspicion.
And one more thing.
‘I have to hide my relationship with Dwenor.’
I hate to admit it, but Charon’s skills in exploiting people’s psychology are much better than mine.
If a Dwenor found out that he was weak to me, there was a high chance that he would try to take advantage of me.
‘It’s not just that.’
As far as I know, Dwenor is a scarecrow set up by the Herizes family to tie up Elester.
And Charon is the emperor’s shadow.
If Eleister learns that Dwenor is nothing more than a scarecrow, he will leave the academy.
‘It will be very different from the future I know.’
Therefore, the fact that Dwenor is a hotgu should be kept hidden as much as possible.
I had a slight headache.
How many times did you think about just one move?
The unexpected meeting with Charon was not good in many ways.
“Tsk, giving a certificate to a guy like you. “My hands almost rotted.”
“Hehe, I have to cut out the rotten parts.”
“Didn’t you say it was obvious? bouncer.”
What kind of answer should I give to not be arrogant?
“Hehe, you’re talking too much to your junior.”
“… … “I guess I told you not to use that word?”
“You banned me, didn’t you? “This is my first time hearing the word junior.”
Ttduk-.
An unidentifiable sound came from Charon’s grasp.
I was just telling the truth, so why did I do that?
‘Phew, I still got time to think.’
I didn’t say this for no reason.
From the moment Charon appeared until now.
My head was spinning like crazy.
‘The atmosphere is not as bad as it was in the ant cave.’
I didn’t come to kill you.
That he came to me for a reason.
The reason and purpose of Charon’s visit.
Finding that out was more important than anything else.
“… … “The information has been confirmed.”
“Information?”
“okay. Hus was a spy. No, rather than a spy… … “He was just an idiot.”
Only then was I able to find out why Charon had come.
The purpose was to confirm information and obtain new information.
‘… … ‘That’s fast.’
Actually, I thought that the being hiding in the room could be Charon.
About 1 second? However, he was immediately excluded as a suspect.
Why?
‘Because the information was provided yesterday.’
I never thought Charon would be able to verify information in just one day.
It was natural.
This is because the process of verifying information is more complicated than expected.
Checking the credibility of the information provided.
Suspect identification.
Capturing the suspect’s strange behavior.
Detained after being subdued.
hearing.
Listing, verifying, and summarizing information provided by the suspect.
Cross-verification of information from suspects and informants.
Until the final confirmation process.
‘This is just for one day… … No, you finished it in less than a day?’
The speed is so crazy that it makes you stick your tongue out.
A being named Charon who kept us from letting our guard down until the final chapter.
I felt it in the game as well, but Charon’s skills seemed to be beyond imagination.
I revised my evaluation of Charon in my head.
So capable. So much so that I don’t want to do business again from now on.
“They were stealing information and shredding it at the same time. Thanks to you. “If it had been just a little bit later, more information would have been lost.”
How did you confirm that Hus was a spy?
I decided not to ask such a stupid question.
The Empire’s rat, the one who manages the Empire’s intelligence department.
It was obvious even without looking how Hus opened his mouth.
“First of all, there must be compensation for the transaction.”
I was referring to the compensation I received for providing the information that Hus was a spy.
“Hehe, that was a service.”
“Because my belief is that transactions must be clear. Don’t hesitate to speak up. “I will provide you with information relevant to this incident.”
Unlike Charon, he is generous.
“Say it. “What information do you want to know?”
I decided not to refuse if he offered it to me.
We are not colleagues, we are in a business relationship.
‘I don’t really have any information I need right now.’
But there was one thing that could replace information.
