Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 72

EP.72 Someone else’s heart

If you’ve done something, there should be a worthy reward.

This proposition does not apply only to large systems such as schools, societies, or countries. Rather, compensation has a greater meaning in a narrower concept, such as the relationship between individuals or individuals.

After exercising, you should take enough rest and supply nutrients to your exhausted body. If you feel tired from long work, you ask for sugar. If one party has helped the other, it must be satisfied with a positive response.

How such a reward system makes the body, the mind, and human relationships stronger.

Therefore, I had to compensate Aji.

daughter and daughter.

“Ego. It’s a barbecue party.”

“bruise!”

Aji blinked his eyes and waggled his tail. The tail power was so strong that the rising wind sent flames and smoke all towards me. If you shake it a little faster, you might be able to fly into the sky.

Pierce the meat thoroughly with a skewer. Seeing that it went in without resistance, it seemed to be fully cooked to the inside. It was soaked in water for a long time to increase the volume, so it looked like it was half-boiled, but I didn’t care because I wasn’t going to eat it anyway.

He picked up the flat meat on a skewer and twirled it over his head. Aji lowered his stance with expectant eyes. A drop of saliva was dripping from the corner of his gaping mouth.

I pulled my arm hard and swung it wide to send the flat piece of meat flying away.

“Take it! Special meat disc!”

“bruise! Mummy! bruise!”

Meat disks flying with overwhelming flavor and appetizing appearance. Aji, his eyes widened, chased after the meat. Aji, who caught the flying piece of meat out of the air, smiled happily and bit off the meat.

This is a play meal where you can play and eat at the same time. It would have been a better reward than ever for Aji.

I don’t normally put so much effort into it, but if it’s a dog that fought vampires for me, it deserves to eat meat.

He shouted as he placed the next piece of meat on the grill.

“You have to listen carefully from now on!”

“Woof woof! huh!”

Aji’s happy laughter, which is simple but well-rewarded, spreads all the way here. After all, dogs are really good friends. Even after struggling with blood demons, they are happy with just a few pieces of meat.

I laughed and suddenly realized something was wrong.

“weird. I also worked hard and got good results. Why is there no reward for me?”

what?

I know that performance deserves reward, so why am I the only one not getting rewarded? Isn’t it like a person who knows the need for compensation better than anyone else takes care of others?

There’s something unfair about this. Something something…

“Woogh-wong-wong! delicious! Whoops!”

Before I knew it, the child who had eaten all the meat came to me wagging his tail. While the meat was being grilled, I petted Aji and muttered.

“Ah. Praise me.”

“You are good! Give me the meat!”

“It’s a compliment that comes from the heart, not thinking about making a living with praise. I see sincerity.”

Then Aji put his arms around his waist and stretched out his chest and shouted.

“You are good!”

“okay. It’s wrong to expect a parable or an idiom or something metaphysical from you. Thank you.”

“Give me the meat!”

“I still think about earning food.”

I put a skewer in the meat again and let it fly away, and Aji ran straight away, leaving me alone. Yes, he is a beast that knows nothing, so he just needs to take care of himself, right?

It was a time when Aji, who had no worries at all, was about to become disillusioned.

“Is something wrong?”

Reward is necessary in the negative direction as well, and we call it punishment.

The vampire who was only controlled by Finlay and the like, and caused such a stir, faced my fierce wrath and was punished to rectify the destruction he had caused.

Because of that, the vampire plowed the ruined concrete ground and retrieved the flesh of the horribly destroyed right arm of the Undead. The vampire’s power was not allowed to touch the undead, so the vampire had to move his hands and pick them up one by one after a long time.

The vampire said, lifting up a box full of the flesh that formed the Undead’s arm, to be exact.

“By the way, didn’t you actually destroy Toin’s arm?”

“Ugh! When the hands clap, they make a sound. If it hadn’t been for the Dark Knights of Tirkanjaka’s apprentices, would the Undead’s arm really be so damaged? So, the responsibility lies on both sides, and the responsibility for the Tyrkanjaka trainee is especially high!”

How dare you put the blame on me. There’s no way. I opened my eyes and questioned the vampire.

Saying that, the vampire lowered his eyes and blurted out his words.

“I wasn’t trying to escape. It’s just that it’s a bit unfair to say that I’ve done this terrible thing where someone scraped the flesh with a skewer and scattered it all over the place.”

There are some parts that are a little stabbed, but there are many people in the world who need to be stabbed more than me. In front of him, I became infinitely more confident.

“Is that a little unfair? Do you know how unfair I am right now? I worked hard to break my body, but what’s left is pre- and post-processing! I cooked it, but I couldn’t eat it all, and even washing the dishes was left to me!”

“Is it that angry?”

“of course! What did I do wrong in this situation? I did my job without doing anything wrong, and I got no reward! At least they don’t praise anyone for doing well!”

“Good job.”

Eh? what?

While I was gaping at the sudden words, the vampire continued to speak while staring at me.

“Thank you. You guys did a really good job. Thanks to you, I was able to avoid making a bigger mistake. It’s all thanks to you guys.”

I heard a compliment out of the blue, but if people’s hearts were happy with this kind of compliment, there wouldn’t have been a separate proverb, ‘fall down and be bowed down’.

I said frowning.

“The dog praised for food, so what else is the trainee Tyrkanjaka trying to rip off?”

“Do you see me as such a snob? It is a compliment that comes from the heart. I said thank you, what are you complaining about?”

“Of course you should be grateful. You saved me from being manipulated by an idiot I hadn’t even heard of. That is constant.”

“I thought I was starving for compliments, so I only heard complaints. Then what do you want me to do?”

“Show it with your actions. As the trainee said, if you are speaking from the heart, you don’t need an electric massager, right? Yes?”

As I tried to turn around, the vampire hurriedly grabbed my arm. After hesitating for a moment, the vampire slightly avoided my cold gaze and said,

“…I didn’t say it wasn’t necessary.”

“and. It’s a real addiction.”

“It’s an addiction. No poison works for my body. I just want a beating heart, even for a moment. So just a little bit.”

“Because it’s called addiction when you keep wanting even though your body is breaking down? Because you don’t know you’re addicted, it’s not embarrassing to be manipulated by your subordinates. Why is someone who is living a good life so anxious to make my heart stop beating?”

As I continued to respond with a brusque attitude, the vampire, who eventually became impatient, looked up at me with resentful eyes.

“Is it because of you?”

“yes?”

What else is this? I couldn’t even say anything because it was absurd. An outdated April Fool’s joke, right?

I lamented that it was my fault for telling the old man a stimulating game for fun, but I can say it because I actually suffered damage! If you say that, I’m ungrateful!

The vampire, as if he still had something to say, grabbed my arm and said.

“My heart doesn’t beat. Whatever emotion you feel, it will soon disappear. That is why, to me, desires, emotions, and memories are vague as if they were painted over with achromatic colors. Even at this moment with you guys.”

A bite full of meat in his mouth was walking gently, and when he saw the vampire, he just sat down and started eating the remaining meat.

The vampire looked at Aji vaguely, as if recalling distant memories.

“Because they are not hungry, they do not need food, so they are not happy even when they smell or taste it. Even if the delicacies are in front of you, you cannot rejoice like the king of dogs.”

“You can taste the blood.”

“Did you really consider that to be a taste? The taste is just a metaphor, but it is to find and drink the blood closest to me. The more similar the nature of your blood is to mine, the more it satisfies me.”

The vampire who scolded me lightly looked into the distance again and said,

“So there is no warmth in my feelings. It just shines like starlight in my head. The starlight in the dark night sky is faintly beautiful, but it doesn’t warm the cold earth, so my emotions just flicker and disappear for a moment without warmth.”

The reason why such a notorious vampire was benevolent, contrary to rumors, could be attributed to her personality, but other reasons cannot be ignored either.

By nature, humans become tolerant of things that cannot harm them.

Exactly, it becomes insensitive.

Vampires do not suffer from physical or mental wounds. Even if someone stabs her with a knife and a spear, even if she curses and curses and dies, you can hear it similarly to the song of the bird that twittered last night.

cruel? No, humans should be grateful for that fact.

If Tirkanjaka, the founder, hadn’t had the sensibility to find beauty even in everyday life, if it weren’t for a girl who could be sentimental while watching the gently flowing starlight.

Humanity would have had to deal with a vampire queen who was many times colder and crueler than now.

“I didn’t mind Finlay’s resentment of me. Even killing him, my mind was similar to organizing an old chest of drawers. It has been so in the past and will be so in the future. I like you quite a bit, but I wouldn’t blink an eye even if you died suddenly. I will regret it for a while, saying that there was such a man, and then turn around.”

no wait.

No matter how metaphorical it is, why are you killing me? Yes, it’s scary. It’s okay if you don’t blink, so can’t you save me?

Not knowing that I was frightened by the inadvertent analogy, the vampire brought her parasol-holding hands close to her chest.

“But only in that brief moment when a finger touched his heart. I can feel the emotions running through my body. At that time, my body is mine and not mine. The heart bounces on its own and there is no need for it, but the lungs suck in air at will. It warms my heart, which has been cold all my life.”

Now, even if I hold my breasts with both hands, the only thing I can touch is the coldness. The vampire forlornly spread his hands and looked down.

“If you didn’t know at all, you wouldn’t know, but as long as you know, you can’t turn back. It’s been a long night. Dawn broke and a faint warmth shone, but to turn the clock back and return to the dark and cold night. Isn’t that too cruel?”

And then our eyes met again. Blood-red eyes pierce me obliquely from bottom to top.

Calmly letting go of old thoughts, the vampire let out a wish in her heart and out of her mouth.

“Please be my heart.”

Long-held hopes flowed from the abyss that abandoned even the earth in the darkness where the sky could not be seen.

I was terrified.

The words are truly romantic. The emotions contained in it were so desperate that it was hard to believe that he was a vampire whose heart had stopped.

But I have mind reading.

After reading the meaning of the words with mind-reading, I stuck out my tongue at the cruel inside.

be the heart?

That literally means sticking a finger into your chest and becoming an externally charged heart whenever you want!

“Come to think of it, I still have your name…”

“It’s done.”

I cut off my words before anything more appeared. The words are cut off as if stabbed by a knife. For a moment, the gaze that looked at me was filled with resentment.

“Haven’t you come to your senses yet after being burned like that? Because if you carelessly give your heart to others, you will get in trouble again.”

“So why don’t you do it?”

“No, well. How do I believe What if I blindly manipulate you?”

I made a threatening refusal to the fullest, but the vampire’s reaction was quite different from what I expected.

“It doesn’t matter if you are.”

The words he calmly conveyed were so mysterious that even I, who had a mind-reading skill, lost my mind for a moment and re-read my thoughts.

I read my thoughts again, wondering if the vampire had learned a joke.

‘If you have to trust someone anyway, if you must put me on the scale. I’d rather entrust myself to the side I like.’

no. Are you insane Even if you are a Hogu, I would never have thought that there would be a mindset like this.

There are degrees in the world. Just as gamblers who have no blood or tears would not take away money from a snuffer, even Hogu would feel sorry to rob it at this level.

That’s why I resolutely rejected the vampire’s plea.

“I care. Because I don’t want to be someone’s heart. Even if it is a trainee.”

The vampire was greatly disappointed by the refusal to give him room.

However, such a miserable feeling is also fleeting.

Disappointment quickly disappeared and what came soon after was resignation. Not giving up, just like a river, the flow passing through her passes through everything.

Mind reading is really bad at times like this.

I have to cut it off, but I can just send it.

If I stare at it, I’m left with lingering feelings.

“But you won’t give up your heart for that, will you?”

At my words, the vampire fell silent. Silence does not necessarily guarantee positivity, but if you put it on the scale, it will definitely incline to positivity.

I wouldn’t be foolish to entrust my heart to a squire like Finlay. But you’d expect him to do something a little less stupid than that.

Whoa. really.

I wiped my forehead and sighed.

“Then it would be better for me to do it.”

“Did you say you would? That means.”

A face that turns bright like a flower blooming for a while.

I was sure It’s so easy to understand that I might give it to some swindler again… physically.

Can not help it. I reached out and grabbed the vampire’s hand.

“The reason why hope keeps disappearing into the gaps between the hands of Tirkanjaka trainees is that even though their hands are absurdly large, it’s not because their hopes are so small and delicate.”

Now, even if you openly try to hold hands, you won’t be scolded. what is the sense of crisis? Ignoring simple rudeness just because I was a little affectionate.

I took each of my small, cold fingers and placed them neatly.

The little finger and the ring finger, the ring finger and the middle finger, the middle finger and the index finger, and the index finger and the thumb.

“I just put less force between my fingers.”

All you need is a desperate wish.

Hold on. He put his five fingers together and pushed them against the vampire’s chest. The vampire, who had his hands on his chest, looked at me with expectant eyes.

Whoa. I really really didn’t want to.

“I am not the heart of a trainee. I don’t want to be. Because I don’t want to run hard every moment, I won’t run if I don’t feel like it, and I’ll be away from the trainees most of the time.”

I can’t help it if someone’s wish is met this close.

Just as the one who sees the future is entangled in it and is destroyed.

The one who sees the heart cannot be free from the hearts of others.

“Instead, I will teach you how to make that heart beat again.”
