Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 58

EP.58 The mind-reader’s

monologue As the vampire said, Finlay’s out of nowhere appearance and arrogance is gone.

Although sometimes when I was cooking, when I was cutting ingredients with a knife, I would alternately look at the kitchen knife and my fingers with high expectations. There’s no way. If you were an idiot with your hands cut off with this kitchen knife, you wouldn’t be able to shuffle the cards.

Do you know how dangerous the shuffle is? If you mix it wrong, your palms will fly off. Compared to that, the knife with the maximum output of the finger is a piece of cake.

Sorry, but there is no food for vampires in human kitchens. get off very

In any case, at least the bottomless pit has regained peace. The vampire spent more time leaving Finlay alone than before, and the regressor wasn’t satisfied, but at least he didn’t sharpen his blade. It was a time when the great ripples subsided and entered a strange period of stability.

At that time, I was facing a golem in a corner of a restaurant.

『Confirmed.』

A voice softened even more came from the golem who had heard my report.

『There are still many problems that are scattered, but there are few measures that can be taken at present, so it is expected that we will have to wait and see for a while. Please maintain this situation until the home country takes further action.”

“Okay! Leave it to me!”

[…]

Then the golem started staring at me without saying anything. Maybe it’s because of the golem’s gaze, but it’s somehow burdensome.

“Why do you just put your mouth on the mic and stay still? What else are you going to say?”

“…question. Why are you taking a cooperative attitude today?”

“Today? I’ve always been cooperative with Captain Abbey. Did I not do anything Captain Abbey asked for?”

“That is what you should do. You are a servant of Tantalus, and you are obligated to obey the legitimate orders of the manager, the manager.

” If you want me to take you, take me. If you want me to save you, save me. There have even been times where I have solved it on my own even without an order. Where is an exemplary laborer like me?”

『Didn’t you make unreasonable demands to the head office using that as an excuse?』

“Unreasonable demands? What is it?”

『I mean forcing the main officer to do certain things.』

“Specific words and actions? well? I’m not sure?”

The golem stopped moving, but it was only for a moment. Soon, dry words flowed from the speaker.

『Didn’t you force the principal to act childish like ‘brother’ or ‘piggyback’?』

“Oh, is that so? Hey, that’s a joke, a joke.”

I tried to ignore it, but the stare at the golem was so stinging that I had to make more excuses.

“Honestly, why do we even have to use the expression ‘forced’ because it is difficult? Did Captain Abbey lose money or was he hurt? You just said to be a fisherman. It’s just that the command has become a little cuter, but in the end, I was willing to fiddle with it, so wouldn’t it be a win-win in the end?”

“denial. The main building is a military signal soldier and a captain of the independent signal unit. The principal has an obligation to maintain the dignity appropriate to his position.

』 If I ordered him to do that in front of the real Captain Abbey himself, it would be undoubtedly a pervert. But at best, I was just playing with this little golem.”

『There is no doubt about your perversion.』

“Pervert? oh my god. There’s nothing I can’t say to my brother.”

『……』

Oh, are you mad?

The golem quickly moved on to the next story before seriously contemplating retaliation.

“Oh, and the sijo said something like this. Finlay fell here by mistake, so please bring him back to the ground.”

A sigh escaped from the golem who was staring at me. It was so absurd that I gave up my refutation.

“It is impossible. If you entered the bottomless pit of Tantalus with a specific intention, you violated the security law, and if you were on the ground, you would have been wanted. This is the bottomless pit. Therefore , the founder ‘s request is unacceptable.”

As you know, powerful vampires fly freely even in the dark, right? What if it goes up to the ground?”

『Escape is impossible, too.』

The golem replied bluntly. At the brief explanation, I waved my arms in protest.

“Isn’t it flying? I heard you plan to fly in the sky until you die of old age? Vampires don’t die of old age, so virtually forever! No matter how deep the abyss is, won’t you be able to break out of prison someday? Then I’ll be shot and killed for not managing it!”

“You don’t have to worry about that. You can’t escape this abyss by flying through the air.”

As soon as he said that, the golem’s voice cut off. A cutting that sounds like being cut with a knife.

After that, a sharper voice came from beyond the golem.

『…As a military signalman, I sternly warn you.』

I can’t feel the slightest amount of leisure I had during the conversation. The golem, who secretly revealed the truth through a loose tension in the atmosphere I had relaxed for a while, realized it and braced himself.

The golem said with a stiff attitude that there was no room to squeeze in.

『The head office fully understands your position and is taking a cooperative attitude considering that you are the only available person inside Tantalus and have built a friendship with the trainees with that status. Just.]

The eyes made of crystal balls move. My image is fully reflected in the round orb that traps the light.

The eyes that were watching me from somewhere invisible to me over there must have sunk coldly.

『If you show a movement to pry out information from the main office again, or if such signs are observed. The head office will also devise other means to ‘replace’ you.]

That’s why I don’t like the military very much. People, ideologies, and systems are all so stiff that it’s really hard to survive.

In this harsh world, there is no place for a magician who pursues romance.

I replied with a smile. The golem glared at me for such a long time, then unilaterally cut off the connection without warning.

The light disappeared from the crystal ball and the body made of iron collapsed.

*****

No more Finlay asking me for blood. As the supreme ancestor commanded, there were no interruptions or sudden interventions in my life.

I did disappear

‘Cut it. cut your finger Shed blood.’

I had forgotten that I was a mind reader.

Finlay would sneak up on me and curse me while I was cooking, especially when I was doing something with the cleaver.

No matter how it is, if I keep hearing thoughts like that, I think I’m going to lose my mind. At this point, it’s like a curse.

No, why does that ghost keep coveting my blood?

‘I have to give blood to the ancestors! In order for the clan to express their opinions to the Blood Lord, and even to the blood Lord of a far higher rank, they must bring fresh blood. The family presents the blood, and the blood lord receives the blood and listens to the story contained in it. It’s a tradition, so even the ancestors will accept it!!’

Reading his thoughts, it seems that the founder, Tirkanjaka, was also a little mistaken.

In front of the Blood Lord, the family is infinitely insignificant. The blood lord, who was born as a vampire, can rule his family through blood manipulation, and can end his breath with the flick of a finger, is similar to a god and parents combined to his family.

‘The founder has pity on us. He wants to protect us. Now that I know his will, I can convince him if I continue to speak to him over and over again.’

however.

There are so many children in the world that even their parents do not recognize, and there are an absurd number of people who despise God.

Also, their hearts are different. There are 10,000 different ways for everyone to honor their parents, and each religion has its own way of worshiping them.

‘okay! Let’s tell the story of the disappearance of the Elder. Knowing that one of the closest members of the family has perished, the ancestor who mourned this might change his mind.’

Finlay was troubled.

When he first prostrated himself in front of the progenitor, who was like a god to a vampire, he was clearly worried for a moment.

Will I lead the situation to my advantage even by deceiving the progenitor, or will I tell the truth no matter what the outcome is?

At that time, he was afraid and unfamiliar with the power of the founder, so he told the truth.

‘Even though he… was not hunted by Seonghwangcheong. You wouldn’t even know the sijo up to that point. If the ancestor blames me in the future, I will be punished sweetly. It would be a great loss to the nobility of the night for him to flirt with these insignificant squires here.’

The unknown is fear. Therefore, we are always humble before the unknown.

When darkness comes, either greet them politely with a torch or lamp, or bow down in the room.

Conversely, knowledge is peace and at the same time arrogance.

Contrary to its notoriety, the founder Tyrkanjaka is quite benevolent. Finlay, who had been sheltered by such ancestors several times, was not as fearful as before.

That must have changed Finlay’s judgment.

“Ha. That’s why I have to change my response.”

I feel it sometimes, but there are times when I feel sorry for my ability to read thoughts. I don’t want to know as much as I do now, but when I hear about it,

I’m not a prophet. I don’t even know what will happen in the future.

But when someone’s thoughts trickle into your head, and your mind-reading spells out a resolution that’s far too full compared to a clumsy plan, you’re seized with a strange sentiment.

pity? insignificant?

It’s so funny that I want to make the plan come true, and I also want to ruin the plan like a bad boy. A strange feeling wells up.

If you think about it, I think it’s more fun to have a little difficulty reading your thoughts.

A golem or a regressor, or a vampire if that doesn’t work out. It’s a lot of fun to dig out.

In a way, this must be the deception of a person with a full stomach.

Just finished cooking. Finally, after slicing hard carrots into long strips to decorate the bowl, I took a bell out of my pocket and waved it.

daughter and daughter.

“bruise! Woof woof!”

Then I heard Aji’s barking and Finlay, who had been hiding around the corner, hurriedly ran away. Finlay didn’t pay attention and put the bowl down as Aji stormed into the restaurant. Aji sat down in a chair, put his head down, and started chewing and swallowing the carrot first.

I cried as I wiped my hands with a cloth.

“Finlay!”

Finlay, who had slipped back, was startled when he heard my voice.

I said, glaring at him from across the corner.

“Tell the Tyrkanjaka trainee. I have class this afternoon.”
