Actually, it wasn’t that surprising.

It wasn’t even shocking.

I was able to calmly accept this fact and accept the result as if I had just put the last piece of the puzzle I had been looking for all along.

Even if I tried to deny it in the first place, there was too much circumstantial evidence.

The first time Lena came to me.

One day I had a nightmare of seeing a guy reflected in a mirror.

Even when I found ＜parades＞ that were observing me from afar.

Even when I found the figure of a guy who spewed words of disgust at Alexios the moment I reminisced about the past.

Even when I found out that Salem, who couldn’t seem to relate, was wearing the title of [Agent behind the scenes].

Even when he heard that incarnations could be born from the key Justitia had talked about.

“I mean, I really don’t understand English.”

define UR Character(Oz Quo Vadis, Alignment=N,G)

The code written in the book that I had glanced over before meeting Oz.

At that time, I thought of the word UR as simply ultra rare. But if you translate it literally.

If you interpret it in such an absurd, forcibly fitted way.

Ulterior Representative.

The agent behind the scenes.

The following words appear:

Yes, this world is blatantly.

without hiding a single point.

“… … Well, at least one purpose has become clearer.”

“purpose? what are you talking about Have you gone out of your mind?”

He had been telling me his true identity all along.

what will be my goal.

What only I can do.

“Well. Don’t you know better what my purpose is?”

If he was really born from Oz, if he had the same memories and the same powers.

If you think about it, you can use the power of the key as well.

Oz never.

Because I couldn’t beat him.

“He tells a funny joke. After struggling like that, now come and admit that you are below me?”

That’s why I am. I am the joker card prepared by Oz.

It may not have much power, but it will definitely act as the biggest variable.

At least he hadn’t figured out the existence of me yet.

“It’s not even funny. Oz, I know. can’t know That you’re still struggling, that you’re racking your brain hard and looking for a solution. There’s no way I wouldn’t know, right?”

“… … You can think on your own.”

“hahahaha. It’s fun. yes, look forward to it It’s a small plan for you to come up with.”

If so, at least once.

“Well, it will be there eventually.”

“… … .”

You can hit him on the back. You must be reading me wrong.

You just have to be so mistaken.

It would have been too late by the time I noticed that the direction my existence was headed was slightly different from the direction he was thinking of.

Janus soon walked out of the fog and stood in front of me.

Perhaps because of that intimidation, even the people who were clinging to me backed away.

“Are you the one who taught Alexios how to be useless?”

Through his mocking mask, I met his cold blue eyes.

“I spared her because I didn’t want to get involved for a long time… … . Now I have no choice but to kill him. Oz, because of you.”

“… … .”

I could learn a lot from his few words.

It was this.

This must have been the reason why Oz was leaving everyone and wandering around alone.

You wanted to protect your family somehow, so you struggled like that.

But unlike Oz, I chose to move while embracing everyone.

That’s why Alexios didn’t interfere with what he was trying to do.

He even pushed me on the back to make sure I was going to do it.

And the result is this

“Looking at the talking tail, it must have failed. Did Alexios take a big hit?”

“… … .”

This time it’s his turn to be silent.

No regrets. It’s what I chose in the first place. I don’t intend to cower in fear like Oz did.

Because I decided to live actively. That it was my choice.

It has never changed since the beginning.

“… … You will regret it.”

“You are. You will regret that you looked down on him and missed your chance to be a genius because of that.”

I now know his true identity.

Uncertainty turned into certainty.

Then you can build a design to win. This encounter will strangle him.

* * *

The meeting was dramatic, but the parting was ordinary.

Since we couldn’t make a fuss within the three provinces anyway, he and I had no choice but to go our separate ways as if we were ignoring each other.

His humiliatingly distorted mask was fun to watch, but the cold sky-blue eyes peering through it were terrifying.

But it’s okay. It will be fine.

because i can win

I believed that and decided to make plans for the future.

“I think it will arrive soon.”

There is only a little way left now.

If you go a little further, you will arrive at ＜Dokkaebi Forest＞, the midpoint of this itinerary.

Until then, you just have to hold out so that Eleanor doesn’t get into an accident.

But I’m afraid to make such a promise.

“Ugh… … ?!”

“what? What?”

Baekyang let out a scream of collapse.

I checked Eleanor hanging to my left just in case, but it doesn’t look like I’ve had an accident.

So what the hell is it?

Baekyang began to falter as if he had been possessed by something.

“This child… … ?”

Baekyang was staring into space as if he was looking at something.

Come to think of it, I had never even thought about it. Since it was a yōkai that used yogi as strength from the beginning, I thought it would be okay. I was complacent.

Moreover, there is also a point in the middle where you can notice.

Since I started to find my way in this three-way stream.

Baekyang didn’t say a word.

“Ugh?!”

First of all, he knocks out Baek Yang, who has started to head in the direction of the Utopia without coming to his senses. When I saw it, I had tears in my eyes.

What kind of fantasy did you see?

“It’s a big deal. Ula, I’m asking just in case… … .”

“I’m sorry. Prince of Oz. Even my eyes can’t see anything… … .”

“Those eyes are decorations… … .”

“… … .”

“no. What are you doing now?”

There is nothing more dangerous than losing one’s guide in Samdocheon.

There is no one among us who can point out the road except Baek Yang.

To put it simply.

“I am so lost here… … .”

We were isolated in the middle of the three provinces, where we couldn’t even tell the front and back.

“How do I do it? teacher.”

“Well… … .”

We have two options left.

One is to wait for Yang Baek, the guide, to come to his senses.

This one is actually very unlikely.

If you’ve been bewitched once, won’t you be bewitched twice? Baekyang’s mental strength has already reached its limit.

Even if you open your eyes again, there is a high probability that you will be trapped in an illusion.

Furthermore… … .

“Wouldn’t it be better not to wake Miss Baek until she arrives?”

“… … It makes a rare sound.”

“I always sound right.”

“Oh yeah.”

Putting Eleanor’s bullshit aside.

The means we can choose will be the second when we think realistically.

It’s not realistic either, but it’s better to rely on luck than to abuse the precarious sheep.

“From now on, we have no choice but to wait while reducing consumption as much as possible.”

“Who?”

“shaman.”

Samdocheon can never be an easy road.

However, even if it is a place full of danger, that is not what [Yowang] intended.

He just wants to live long, but he has no intention of mass murder.

That is why [Yowang] picked up a child abandoned in Samdocheon and made her a shaman.

They are special guides who periodically wander inside the Samdocheon and guide the lost to the outside.

The episode of ＜Goblin Forest＞ is also related to the shrine maiden, so if it is a nearby place, it may be nearby.

“Master, what shall we play while we wait?”

“Did you hear me right? Need to reduce consumption as much as possible? It might take a few days, so hold still.”

“Ugh. Are you bored then?”

This guy also doesn’t understand what I’m talking about. In fact, it’s good that I’ve been patient until now.

“What? well, something No, that, it’s not that I hate it, hmm, hmm… … .”

“rest.”

When he catches Eleanor, who is about to run out, and sits right next to him, he calms down a bit.

It is also reassuring to keep close and watch. With this, Eleanor won’t have any nonsense.

“wow. I never thought there would be someone wearing two women on this road.”

“Cry, if you talk nonsense… … . no.”

It’s not Ula. The tone of voice is similar to that of Ulla, but the feeling is different.

Ulla’s stare, where she felt blatant dissatisfaction, was not important right now.

“If you look closely, you’re a handsome friend.”

“It’s a phrase you hear often.”

“uh… … . that, yes Well, I think I will hear it often.”

Golden eyes reminiscent of Daeboreum along with pink hair.

The smiling eyes look mischievous somewhere, giving me a creepy feeling.

If it’s good, it’s the opposite impression of Arietta, and if it’s bad, it’s the same as Baek Yang and Eleanor.

[SSR Moon Shaman]

So Yeon

The object we were waiting for appeared at an absurd timing.

“I don’t feel well… … .”

“what? Could it be that she wasn’t lost? I thought you were waiting for me.”

“No, that’s right.”

It’s just that there’s no way things will work out this well, but it’s because it worked out so well.

showed up too soon

If I think about my usual luck, I thought that even a close situation would not appear.

So, at that close timing, I drew a picture of being picked up by a shaman or being picked up by goblins who were tired of waiting… … .

You say you meet so easily?

This doesn’t work.

Looking back on my experiences so far, it seems that Iljin will be fierce today. It always has been!

“Nice to meet you, friends. I am called So-yeon, one of the shamans of the three provinces, the shaman of the moon. Shall I ask a simple question? Are you lost?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, concise answer. very good. I’d like to talk at length since I’m having a long-awaited conversation, but I can’t help it because I’m both busy.”

talk a lot this human.

Compared to his personality, he is a type of person who rarely meets people.

“More than that, a guide… … Are you that friend who is down? This is why you shouldn’t bring in a wild guide.”

“… … Friends.”

“Ah, that was my mistake. Well, if you still don’t have confidence, wouldn’t it be better to hire a proper guide… … ? No, I didn’t mean to be mean… … .”

a funny person

Seeing that he is surprised by what he said makes him feel like he is in the same category as Marie.

As expected, the playable characters that were marked on the game were all just people with chubby personalities.

“Hey, looking at it with such an interesting gaze makes me nervous… … .”

“Excuse me.”

“No, yes… … yes. Shall we check the condition of the fallen friend first?”

“If possible, could you help me to stop having nightmares?”

“hehehe, trust me. What should I get paid for?”

Soyeon giggles and looks at me with grim eyes.

I’ve seen these eyes before. Those were the eyes of Princess Stasia.

“Can I draw some blood?”

“… … I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand people’s emotions these days, but that… … . It was a joke, what should I say?”

So-yeon babbled for a while, then let out a deep sigh and headed toward the fallen Baek-yang.

I guess I gave up on making excuses.

I don’t hate that kind of fugitive mentality.

“ah… … .”

“Are there any problems?”

“No, that… … I want to be a goblin. Yes, even though you are a goblin, you got lost in Samdocheon. yes yes… … .”

What was the problem, So-yeon spat out the same words and started talking gibberish again. But if there’s anything else… … .

“Still you… … .”

It was only for a moment, but he had a sad smile somewhere.

Might have been mistaken because of the fog.

However, it seems that So-yeon also knows something about Baek-yang.

It would have been easy to guess if only [Contemplation] had been properly done, but it is still stuck except for the meeting with Janus.

Meanwhile, So-yeon laughed awkwardly and drew a spell on Baek-yang’s forehead.

Unlike magic, it’s like drawing a picture of a talisman.

Witchcraft, also called federal magic.

I guess I need to find out.

“Yeah, that’s it. Still, this is only a temporary measure, so it would be better to get out of the three provinces as soon as possible. Can you move?”

“Fine. Arrieta, I think I will have to carry the fallen sheep on my back. If it’s okay, could you change the hanging place?”

“Ah yes… … .”

Arrieta moved behind my back to where my right arm was.

Eleanor on the left, Arietta on the right, and a white sheep on the back.

At this level, it is voluminous, naked, and there are no real baggage.

However, Baekyang’s sense of volume is unique. that’s right… … .

“I don’t understand a thing about your relationship… … . Is that the sentiment of the world these days?”

“That’s it.”

It’s hard to explain, so I’m evasive. It will be quite embarrassing for So-yeon, who doesn’t have a chance to come into contact with the human world, but it will be okay.

Sooner or later, I’ll be able to travel to the outside world to my heart’s content, so I’ll be able to correct this misunderstanding.

Being human is how you become an adult.

* * *

Fortunately, ＜Goblin Forest＞ was close by. At least, until Baekyang was possessed by an illusion, he was guiding the way properly.

Looking at that, it must have been done under calculation, not on a guest plane, that he said he would guide the way.

The only problem was that time was delayed in the middle because of Paid Dawn and crazy people called Janus.

“Now, if you go forward, you will reach your destination. Should I be careful not to get lost next time?”

“thank you. Soyeon.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I also had a human-like conversation with a person after a long time, and it wasn’t bad.”

“okay.”

The role of a shaman is to guide those who have lost their way out of the Three Ways.

And usually those who get lost in the Three Tao River are terrified.

That’s natural. It’s a road that drives people crazy even when they’re still. If we were lucky, most of the people she found would have been insane or distraught.

“Then, see you next time… … No, nothing.”

‘See you again.’

Those words probably came out unconsciously.

In fact, for a shaman who can’t escape the Three Tao Chun, asking to see her again is no different from pouring out bad words.

But at the same time, it was also possible to see how lonely she was living at the point where those words came out subconsciously.

She was stunned by what she said, but she kept her mouth shut, but I know.

Anyway, sooner or later, she will be out of the three provinces.

So now.

“Yes, I look forward to seeing you again soon. Soyeon.”

At least this kind of greeting can be answered casually.

So-yeon blinked at my answer, then answered in a trembling voice as if in trouble.

“You can’t say that lightly… … . It’s good that you never run into someone like me in the first place.”

“Then let’s talk a little heavy. We’ll see you again. soyeon. It was a much better situation then than it is now.”

“… … .”

Soyeon turned around again, speechless. It’s like before.

The act of running away withholding an answer.

But this time something different.

[Contemplation – Activate]

from the back of her face.

He looked happy.
