49 – Episode 46: Instant – 1

“So, what are we supposed to do?”

I barely calmed down and asked with a big sigh.

“Simple. It is to go to the 5 representatives of the Transcendental Species, excluding me, and get answers.”

“No, but why do we have to do that?”

The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous it was.

No, how can a contract that is made without the consent of the other party exist in the world.

No matter how many times you wipe your eyes and search all over the earth and this world…

[My relationship with you guys is business.]

A nightmare-like memory that came to mind in an instant.

I kept my mouth shut.

Yes, I was already progressing in this world.

Beyond the f*cking absurdity, I was one of the three people who were treated like idiots.

“The more I think about it, the more pissed off I am. I won’t do it if you don’t give me the corresponding reward, so do it yourself.”

I said with a straight face.

A f*cking deal is already in the works. In addition, even if I die soon, I will never give you another kind of kindness for free.

Do we have to waste our time on something that is not a f*cking volunteer and has no merit.

“It is difficult. A contract has already been established. The price of cancellation will be very high. Can you guys afford it?”

“What a price! Dryad, what nonsense is that!”

“Usually what you get in return is… Yes, it is life.”

The dryad spoke calmly enough to be astonishing. Contrary to that, the expressions on our faces watching her were stained with shock and fear.

Isabelle waved my left arm and shouted as if to remind me of something.

“No! to die. I still do! Young. Joo Hyuk! You have a good head. come up with a solution. right now-!”

Isabelle desperately shouting at me. But unfortunately, in the current situation, even I couldn’t turn my head well.

“We, transcendental species, have a vast lifespan that will not diminish even if we live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but as mortals, can you afford the price?”

The dryad was covering his mouth. However, through the gap, she was smiling.

I thought for a bit, then opened my mouth.

“f*ck you no.”

I crossed my arms with a sad look and said to the dryad.

The dryad was quite taken aback by my unexpected reaction. Her upbeat appearance until recently has disappeared.

“… … Does that mean it doesn’t matter if I die? Human, you need to value your life more… ”

“That side will soon be sucked up by the demons and will search for it, but whether they die first or later, it is the same for them to die together. What are you patronizing?”

“Are you really not afraid of death?”

“I don’t intend to move the way you think. If you want to be my agent, do me a favor or cut the boat.”

this is all smoke

Damn, of course, I have no intention of dying.

If the words of the dryad are true, we have no choice but to fulfill the contract anyway. If so, you have to make the most of it at all costs.

It seems that the thought that came to me in that short bird worked well.

The dryad said with a subtle face.

“… You are not an ordinary human being. Yes, tell me what you want.”

finally got caught!

I didn’t get excited and kept my poker face calm.

If things get messed up here, everything up until now will be in vain.

I still opened my mouth with a confident expression.

“Just once, I want all troops in the Fairy Forest to support us, including you, at any time I want.”

The whole area froze for a moment at my remark.

Kyoko, Isabelle, and even Rin just blinked their eyes without saying anything.

A bloody aura emanated from around the dryad.

“Human, do you know what you are talking about?”

“If we can’t do that, we’ll just die together.”

He said it confidently, but in reality it was f*cking scary.

Every wind brushing my skin felt like a sharp knife.

But I couldn’t back down either.

Until now, I had no idea. However, after figuring out the specific combat power of the demons, I realized that it was impossible to subdue them alone.

That’s why I boldly threw a gamble of high risk-high return.

It was either gain or die.

“… Truly a bold mortal. It’s rare to find someone who expresses his will so confidently to a transcendental species.”

“It’s just the wisdom I learned while living in society. Seek maximum profit at minimum cost. It’s just like that.”

The company’s superiors, who are entrepreneurs to the core, place great emphasis on making the maximum margin.

It was just like that from the moment I joined the company. It should be said that it was the wisdom of life that I acquired spontaneously as I tried to prove myself, but that was it anyway.

The most basic of which is.

It was that you should never bend your back first to an opponent who had something to gain.

Transactions must always proceed on an equal footing.

For example, if you enter by bending your back first, the opponent will press you down to prevent you from bending your back again.

It is common sense that is common to those who live in society.

I took a deep breath and asked again.

“So what is the answer?”

In conclusion, when a negative answer comes out here, there is only one result we will face.

100% behind, of course.

So I desperately hid it so that the nervousness wouldn’t show on my face.

The Dryad, who had been suffocating, opened his mouth soon.

“… … good night. I accept your terms.”

I wanted to cheer right away, but I held back.

Even if it was a fairly unreasonable contract, it was a kind of transcendental support.

I could see that the balance calculation was right.

It is obvious that no matter how many companions you collect to subdue the demon lord, you will not be enough. So, from that point of view, it is a great advantage for the Transcendental Species and their subordinate fairies to become a combat force.

Although it seemed a bit low intelligence, the fairy didn’t seem to be pushed by anyone in terms of speed. It will be a great power in many ways.

Then, the dryad spoke again.

“However, I also have one condition.”

“What condition is that… ”

“Get the consent of all the Transcendental Species.”

“Why is everyone agreeing?”

“The procedure for breaking a contract is very complicated. The easiest way to terminate the contract is for all transcendental species to agree to terminate the contract. But paradoxically, that is the hardest way.”

Dryad continued with a serious expression.

“Perhaps one will be kind to you, but the other four will have a very hard time persuading you. However, you will definitely have to. Because that is my condition.”

The dryad’s words left me speechless for a moment.

If it was a transcendental species, it would surely be a creature on the same level as that dryad or with more power than that.

It means that you have to convince such a creature.

Biting my lower lip, I apologized for a moment before going into discussions with my companions.

“Chop that’s possible… ?”

“We have to make it possible. We don’t have a choice. Kyoko: You don’t want to die here, do you?”

“natural! There is still something to be done! For example, for example, marriage… ”

“okay. I don’t know what it is, but it’s a good posture.”

Kyoko was about to go the other way, so she just stopped talking and turned her head away.

Ok for Kyoko, now it was time to ask for Rin’s opinion.

“What do you think Lynn… ”

“There is only one answer. Joo Hyuk I believe in you. I have no objection in proceeding according to your will.”

“Thank you, Lin.”

It couldn’t have been anything more comforting.

Now that I’ve heard Rin’s point of view, I just need to ask Isabelle’s opinion one last time and it’s over.

When I was trying to talk to her, Isabelle called me first.

“Joo Hyuk.”

“Yes, Isabelle, speak.”

“If you do this. success. I’ll give you when you return to Earth. part of the field.”

“Yes? A field suddenly?”

“Our Grandpa, there you are! Spacious Corn farm! I will definitely be happy when I go back. I can provide it to Joo Hyuk! So be sure to do this! You have to succeed!”

It was a rather embarrassing situation.

Suddenly, if this work succeeds, I will give you a field. It was a little sudden, but it probably meant that Isabelle didn’t want to die that much.

I groaned, cleared my throat, and spoke to the dryad again.

“We will accept the terms as well.”

conditions are accepted.

To be honest, the difficulty seems atrocious, but we have to make it possible.

And it would be better for me to die rather than do anything than to die of old age in this world without catching the demon king.

The dryad nodded at my answer.

“Yes, humans… No, my agents, the sun will set soon, so first stay here today and leave as soon as the sun rises the next day.”

Judging from the fact that he was told to leave tomorrow, it seemed that the time to obtain consent was shorter than expected.

I nodded.

Of course, there was no way there would be a room suitable for our size. I put a roughly made lantern in the middle and finished preparing well.

After coming to this world, I felt like I was used to being homeless.

I lay down on the floor and began my daily lament before going to bed.

“f*ck… When are you going home… ”

I didn’t know then

The trembling situation that will shut up tomorrow morning right now.

I just went to sleep without knowing anything.

Among the stars filling the night sky, three shooting stars coincidentally fell side by side at the same time.

***

Several wagons were driving down the pitch-black mountain road.

Leading the chariot was a huge bony horse that glowed red.

“Your Majesty, it looks like we will arrive at the entrance of the fairy forest tomorrow morning. Go to bed now.”

The soldier driving the wagon spoke. Hoa didn’t say anything. I just stared at the thick darkness outside the window.

My heart beat kept getting louder and louder.

Hoa had a strange feeling about the current situation.

It was all the more strange because his senses had never rang so intensely before.

“Who is it, who is there… ”

Hoa put her troubled mind behind and closed her eyes.

Was it because of the wagon shaking violently, or because of the many thoughts running through my head? It was a night where I couldn’t sleep easily.

She couldn’t sleep, so when she finally opened her eyes again, she murmured in a low voice.

“I must see with my own eyes… ”

An untimely cold wind engulfed the fairy forest.
