Chapter 8: The Ponytail Girl is Too Strong (4)
Regress
"... I'll just give you the essential explanation and skip it? I don't want to do it either, but it's a procedure, so I can't help it."
'What was the problem? Ah. There's too much force in my wrists.'
Organize your enlightenment while the fairies chatter.
"Everyone! I don't know whose scheme it is, but in times of crisis like this, we must come together!"
Encourages people to go catch the boss.
At first, it was awkward, so the line changed several times, but now it's the same thing every time.
Did you get closer to the routine? It feels like it automatically pops out without me knowing.
After the speech. Choi Ji-won stopped me.
Whoo! Whoo!
Swing the sword like crazy and learn again.
"... I guess I've seen enough of this. I have to do my practice too, so let's go."
After class,
Fuck!
[Damaged.]
[Return to the moment you first entered the 0th floor.]
Regress
***
There came a moment when it felt like my heart would break.
The devil's whisper that he wanted to give up on everything tempted me every moment.
But repeat the regression.
Repeat again
One day it was repeated again.
Finally.
"Under. Haha."
My sword reached the sky.
"What? Why does he collapse and laugh instead of swinging his sword?"
22:27
'I guess I'm having a nice dream. Wake me up.'
Took.
I tried to gently touch him with the tip of his toe, but Kim Jun-ho didn't even move.
"... It's annoying."
Puck!
[Damaged.]

"Hmm... Not bad... "
Choi Ji-won, who is worried about how to say something so he won't get hurt.
"Not bad. Not bad... Where are you going and not getting hit? If you do, it's not... I'd like to see more, but it's time for me to train. Sorry."
After encouraging him by patting him on the shoulder, Choi Ji-won starts swinging his sword as he always sees.
If it had been as usual, it would have been the time to return, but now there was no strength left to do so.
"Under... Haha... "
I am sick That's not an ordinary asshole, but an asshole beyond imagination.
How confident did you think I could make it?
3 years? Do you train for 3 years without taking a break? I?
If a homeroom teacher had heard of a bastard who hadn't persevered in 3 years of high school and had been wielding a sword for 3 years, he would have snorted out of embarrassment if he had been in high school.
I didn't know too much about my topic.
I was not the main character of a web novel with a willpower of steel.
I wasn't a vengeful demon who could burn at least one part of my body to achieve my goal, and I wasn't a hero who returned to save the world after resentment of my past life.
Just... He was just an ordinary person.
In terms of experience, he had wielded a sword for several months, but even so, he had a swordsmanship talent that could not even hear the word 'It's okay'.
However, it is not equipped with a solid mentality that can be constantly bumped into.
I lay sprawled on the dirt floor without strength.
"... "
I wasn't the chosen hero.
A petit bourgeois who can be found anywhere.
How can a person change drastically just because he is suddenly thrown into a tower?
Choi Ji-won, who was swinging his sword like crazy.
'Support.'
"Huh?"
Choi Ji-Won stopped moving because her beloved sword, Bung-Bung, spoke to her.
I was getting a little bit of a sense of it now, but the feeling of something being caught at the tip of my hand lingered around.
But Bung Bung would have known that too. It's a really important story, so I'm going to talk to you.
"What is it?"
Choi Ji-won asks while wiping sweat with the back of his arm.
Boongboongi could easily read Choi Jiwon's thoughts, but Choi Jiwon couldn't read all of her Boongboongyi's thoughts yet.
Maybe it's because I haven't gotten used to the characteristics yet. Because of that, there was the inconvenience of having to speak in this way.
'That man. I'm talking about Kim Jun-ho.'
"... Junho Kim?"
Junho Kim. The man who just taught me the sword.
I don't know what the effect of his characteristics is, but he was dealing with a swordsmanship quite similar to Choi Ji-won's.
But that level is only about 2.5 ryu. He wasn't a remarkable guy.
"Why is he?"
That's why Choi Ji-won couldn't understand why Boong-boong mentioned Kim Jun-ho.
'... Support.'
"Why do you keep doing that?"
'Thanks to the traits you acquired, your senses are dozens of times sharper.'
"... So? I know that."
'The world you feel now is very different from the world you felt before.'
Choi Ji-won stutters dissatisfiedly.
"I know that. Isn't that why you're repeating this boring slap right now? To overcome the gap created between my perception and the real world. Why are you suddenly talking like that?"
Boong-boong couldn't move because he was a sword, but Choi Ji-won felt that Boong-boong shook his head slightly.
'As for your body... You're right. What I want to talk about is someone else's story.'
Choi Ji-won is a master of swordsmanship.
So, your body has adapted to some extent. Martial arts starts with understanding your own body.
'Now... Your standards are much higher. His movements weren't bad.'
However, less than 5 hours had passed since my senses became sharper and my eyesight improved.
The world seems slow. In a way, it can be said that it is natural, but...
The problem is that higher standards were applied to Kim Jun-ho.
All of his movements seemed sluggish and he seemed stuffy for no reason because Choi Ji-won couldn't get used to the new sensation.
"... Okay?"
Choi Ji-won realized that he had misjudged Kim Jun-ho.
Turning my head slightly, I saw Kim Jun-ho lying helplessly on the dirt floor over there.
"... "
It is clear that she is in her disappointment because of what she said. Her eyes were dull and empty.
"... You should apologize and say it again."
The moment Choi Ji-won was about to approach to tell the truth.
Chuck.
Kim Jun-ho raised his fist high.
Puck!
Just like that, he slammed his chest down.
[Damaged.]
[Return to the moment you first entered the 0th floor.]
***
I made up my mind.
This time, I won't do anything.
People die?
Fuck you. I decided not to care about that.
It's a world line that will disappear after returning anyway.
What I desperately need right now is a warm rest. I decided to just relax.
"Hello! You lowly human beings who are wasting their lives in exasperation! Nice to meet you!"
Even when the fairy appeared, he did not pay attention.
Even when weapons were handed out, when people shouted at the status window, and when the majority left the vacant lot, no action was taken.
It was intended to wait for Choi Ji-won to bring food.
"... Haam."
Really.
I knew that if I waited for a day and a half, Choi Ji-won would bring food.
In the end, what I have to do is to kill time by enduring hunger.
"... What you looking at?"
"You're digging the land, Mr."
Whoop!
"Evil! What if I dig up the soil with my work!"
"Go away, son of a bitch!"
I stare at the man who diligently digs the ground, and the dirt he digs gets into my mouth.
"Hey... "
"Why are you crying?"
I tried to work on the woman with bobbed hair, but Choi Ji-won, who was wielding a sword, glared at her, so I went back to my seat.
Island island island.
Next to the man rummaging through a pile of weapons, I also rummaged a little. (For reference, I couldn't find Hidden Peace)
So anyway, I wasted a lot of time.
I must have a hanyang constitution.
I literally did nothing, so why am I so happy?
Later, if there was a floor with a bed, I thought that it would be okay to go back and forth over and over again and waste time on the ground like this.
I've had more time than anyone in this tower.
The night passed like that.
"If we stay here like this, everyone will starve to death. I am thinking of leaving this vacant lot in search of a water source. Anyone want to join me?"
Choi Cheol-soon, a firefighter with a tiger-like appearance, leaves with the middle-aged.
Around the time I was lying down with the sound of human screams coming from far away as a BGM.
"Uh... And! Sister! This... Can I eat this?"
Choi Ji-won showed up with food.
This is what I remember doing in the previous episode.
I hit a sudden rash to be accepted as a disciple, then I returned after being beaten.
But this time it's different.
How is it different?
Like the rest of the clearing, I intend to sit quietly and receive my food.
"... It's delicious."
I was quietly munching on a calorie bar, and I smiled on my own.
Again, I'm happy even though I didn't do anything.
This is healing, this is vacation.
It's a small gift for me who struggled to hold the sword.
And on the other hand, I was also curious.
Is this vacant lot really a safe zone?
The 'Tower' that I know of has malice towards humans.
There's no way they'll stay in one place like this.
"... "
If you're curious... Gotta try it.
