Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 95
EP.95 Everyone Lies The Undead,
who thought they would jump out immediately, didn’t come out for a long time. The regressor made the most confident stalking declaration in the world, saying that he would follow their trend, and then left.
Thanks to you, I had a little time left.
I sat down in a corner of the yard and pulled out a deck of cards. He held the deck slightly bent with his thumb and forefinger and scratched it with his fingertips.
Paralac.
Then, the oppressed card in my right hand ran out in search of freedom. Parala Rock. As they rushed out one after another, before they knew it, even the last one escaped from the tyranny of the right hand and was embraced in the arms of the left hand.
There is no paradise where one escapes.
The left hand, which had been cherished so far, eventually revealed its true color and became a monster identical to the right hand. The spine of the stack of cards bent like a bow. The stack of cards, struggling to get out again, found a gap and returned to the right hand that had just left.
I was in the middle of moving a deck of cards alternately with both hands.
“Your dexterity is quite good.”
I heard Tyr’s voice. Still with his black parasol slung over his shoulder, and seated atop a large coffin, Tyr gently stopped in front of me, landed lightly, and approached me.
I smiled and snatched the card at once. The card, which fluttered like a butterfly, folded its wings and held its breath like a chrysalis in my hand.
“Is this enough? I’m sorry, but this is as easy as making a five-year-old cry when he stole candy and rolls his eyes. If I show my sincerity, you might faint.”
At the sly reply, Tyr laughed while covering his mouth with his hand.
“Why do grown adults make their children cry?”
“uh? Don’t you feel that way sometimes? Is it just me?”
“You won’t either.”
“really? When you see a child who rolls his eyes and tries to escape an imminent crisis with an obvious lie, don’t you want to point out that lie even if it’s mean?”
Even though it was a joke question, Tyr pondered seriously.
How she would react when I tried to trick her into not being a kid. After earnestly recalling each and every simulation, Tyr soon came to a conclusion.
“I wouldn’t do that.”
“Wow really?”
“then. All you will get from pointing out a child’s lies is a base pleasure. When you’re older, you should act a little more noble.”
Ohh. low-key pleasure. Low fever…
Low fever?
“what? Are you saying that I have a bad personality?”
“Actually, isn’t your personality on the mild side?”
Tyr said playfully and laughed. There was a lot of mischief towards me.
I mean, is it enough to make fun of you now?
good. where.
“Tyr. Let’s make a bet.”
“bet?”
“yes. I will hide the card, so Tyr can find it.”
He drew a card and handed it to him without even looking at his deck. Tyr took it in with interest and looked back and forth.
The back has a regular pattern that is no different from other cards. The shape was also symmetrical, so even if you turned it over, you couldn’t tell the difference between the top and the bottom. Two bright red hearts were drawn on the front side, and the number 2 was written on it.
Tyr tried rubbing the card with his finger to see if something was hidden, but the card was fine. Tyr said, glancing at the card.
“I don’t think there is any trick.”
“The card is normal. I swear on my honor as a magician.”
“You don’t have to. If I didn’t notice in advance, it’s because of my lack of ability.”
Back then, when knowledge of the past was not given, knowing was power, and being unaware was taken for granted. Tyr, who lived in that era, said that sincerely.
Of course I was sincere.
“no. At least when it comes to tools, it should be fair. It’s not fun to bet with tricks that only I know.”
“If so.”
Tyr nodded, handed the card back to me and asked.
“okay. If it’s a bet, there must be a reward. What would you bet on?”
“One wish. how is it?”
“…wish?”
‘If it’s a wish, anything…? then.’
In an instant, Tyr’s eyes turned red like blood. I added hastily, with goosebumps running down my spine.
“Of course, in a mutually understandable common sense line! obviously!”
“…iced coffee. I guess so. i get it.”
…thank god. For some reason, it seems that the wish to turn me into a vampire flickered in Tyr’s mind a moment ago. Even if you die, you won’t die and you can stay by your side forever…
Anyway. Tyr accepted my offer.
“okay. Let’s try it somewhere.”
“Quack-quick. great. Prepare to be surprised with your mouth wide open in front of the new generation of hand techniques.”
“You’re the one, don’t be upset if I hit it too easily. The opponent was just too bad.”
“I will return the same to you. Even if you feel cheated, don’t be too unfair.”
After placing the remaining deck of cards on the ground, he opened his hands wide to emphasize that he had nothing hidden in his hands. Tyr confirmed it and nodded.
Then I picked up two hearts with only two finger movements.
“Ego. going.”
“okay. Try it.”
Tyr’s eyes brightened even more. It was to increase my eyesight so as not to miss any of my trivial actions.
live up to expectations I smiled confidently and started moving the cards around.
from left to right and from right to left.
As the card spins round and round, it busily goes back and forth between the left and right hands.
Like a drunken butterfly or like fallen leaves blowing in a whirlwind. Tyr’s expression became more and more strange as he watched the cards move in disarray.
‘…You look so much better than I thought.’
The red eyes move non-stop. I’m not trembling, I’m chasing my card. Even if it is shaken, even if it suddenly stretches out of sight and returns, even if it hides behind the back of the hand and cannot be seen for a moment.
The piercing red eyes followed my cards moment by moment.
‘Obviously it’s dazzling…but it looks too good for something like that. It’s not that fast and it’s dizzy, but the movements are simple.’
“…Kuh!”
I let out a nervous moan. My fingers trembled with tension and I almost missed the card in between. Every time that happened, I managed to grab it again and desperately moved the card.
and at some point
After momentarily crossing his hands, he hid the card in his hand and held it out, taking advantage of the gap in his vision.
I shouted with an awkward smile.
“braided! Where are you?”
“Ah…”
Tyr sighed softly. Red eyes glanced up at me and then glanced at my left hand.
She looked very troubled, not because she missed the card… but because she caught it so perfectly.
‘I’m sorry Hugh… I saw everything. Cross your hands and put it in your left sleeve pretending to hide it.’
Vampires can even control their eyes with blood. Red eyes that swayed rapidly under the assistance of blood manipulation followed even the flashy movements that ordinary eyes could not follow and missed until the end.
Tyr hesitated, unable to answer, fearing that I would be embarrassed.
‘Shouldn’t I have strained my eyes? You were seduced by the word ‘wish’ and took it too seriously….
‘ Was it a bit difficult? are you okay. Don’t be disappointed. There is no business in presbyopia.”
‘…But since some people say that the world is not proud, how can I show that the world is formidable?’
One word was enough to change his mind. An exasperated Tyr pointed a finger at my left hand.
“Take out your left hand.”
“Left hand! Did you say left hand? There is no redemption! Now indeed! Maybe the left hand? Check in! Salty salty salty salty salty.”
I immediately opened my left hand. Naturally, and as Tyr expected, there was nothing in his left hand.
“…Oops! That’s sad! There was nothing in my left hand! The card must have been in the right hand! Ego. You’re wrong, so I win the bet…”
“No, the left sleeve.”
“omg!”
Tyr pinned my sleeve and I gasped.
I sweated profusely and averted my gaze.
“Other left sleeve? what is that?”
“Can’t you see it here?”
Tyr kindly grabbed my left hand and twisted it so that the sleeve was exposed. A card was dimly visible on the other side of the sleeve.
Evidence that cannot be denied. In a situation where if you got caught on a gambling table, you would have to find a hammer right away.
I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
“Look. shallow lies. You can’t get out of it without touching it, right?”
what a lot of reasons
Because I want to tell you the bitter taste of the world, or because the actions I do are the same, or because I hate simply losing money due to low desires.
It’s up to you if you paste it, but anyway, if you witness a lie in front of your eyes, you want to reveal it. It is close to the instinct that everyone has.
Tyr asked with a puzzled expression.
“Did you make a bet to say that?”
“It’s similar. Tyr How funny was I? If you stare at it, but shamelessly hide it and pretend you don’t know. I can’t get out of it without grabbing it and showing it to you, right?”
I can’t say no. Because Tyr’s behavior was exactly like that.
Tyr replied with a smirk.
“You’ve been completely beaten. But aren’t you a child?”
“Compared to Tyr, he is like a child. When the human lifespan is taken very generously and 100 years old, I am 24, and if I use the Tyrkanjaka age comparison law, I am only a two-year-old child. Aye.”
Tyr glared at me, then pouted and pulled out the card from my sleeve.
“okay. You are right. Apparently I wasn’t as noble as I said. Admit it. Anyway, I found out where I hid the card, so this bet is my win…”
Saying that, it was when Tyr turned the card over.
Tyr’s eyes widened in surprise as he checked the front.
“…uh?”
Where did the two hearts drawn on a pure white background go? There, as if someone had newly drawn it, there was a solemn queen holding a flower and looking straight ahead.
Heart Queen.
The card was obviously different from the one I picked up.
When Tyr, who had been staring at me enchanted, turned to me, I pointed at my right hand, which was still clenched.
“I’ll say something I couldn’t say before. It must have been in the right hand! Voila!”
Making a sound effect with my mouth, I stretched out my right hand. The heart 2 that Tyr had to find was curled up in the palm of his right hand.
Tyr alternates between the cards in his hand and mine, bewildered. I bowed deeply to the girl who was still confused, feeling a noble pleasure.
“Well, you have to overcome that to be called a magician.”
Tyr asked with a bewildered face.
“How did you do it?”
“I don’t teach you. Revealing a trick to the world is not something a magician should do.”
When the blood rushes, the field of vision narrows. This also applies to Tyr.
You have to give up one to get one.
The prey, which had a wide field of vision to spot a predator that might come from, instead became unable to properly distinguish something approaching in front of its nose.
In contrast, predators with their eyes forward in pursuit of a single prey were punished by being unable to see the back of their head unless they turned their heads.
Humans are true predators. Tyr, a predator among predators that preys on human blood, pursued my card with concentration in his eyes. Her ability was so great that even I couldn’t completely shake off her eyes.
So I cheated from the start.
While the Queen of Hearts personally lured the Queen of Shadows, the Heart 2 slowly appeared on the back of my hand.
“It’s not like a person who can’t cheat others can’t claim to have seen through other people’s tricks, right?”
Well, this is mostly thanks to mind reading, but that’s it.
Mind-reading is already done, and I am mind-reading. We’ve been together all our lives, how can we separate them?
If you couldn’t read other people’s minds in the first place, you wouldn’t even notice the tricks they hide deep inside.
“Awesome…that’s right. To be honest, I still don’t know what happened. I thought you were following me.”
Tyr admired, holding both hands tightly. People here are good because their reactions are honest.
Embarrassed, I rubbed under my nose and replied.
“haha. Are you thinking about how to grant my wish?”
“By the way, phew.”
“yes?”
Tyr raised his head cautiously and pointed to the Queen of Hearts in his hand.
“It’s not like it’s two hearts drawn on it… but isn’t this also hiding the card?”
“uh?”
“Then I must have won the bet.”
“what?”
Let’s stay still. what did i say
‘I’m hiding the card, so I told you to look for it. This is not a card with two drawn on it, but what is hidden is what is hidden. Then I did find the hidden card. If so…’
Ohhh? is that so?
“Why did I say that?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
I know. what? Did you want to grant your wish?
After carefully recalling the conditions, I finally nodded.
“When I heard it, I was right. I cannot logically refute it.”
“Then you will have to grant my wish.”
“no way. Still, Sijo has his pride. Are you going to say a wish with something like this when you’ve been completely fooled?”
nod
Tyr nodded coldly. Tyr’s eyes seemed to be in a good mood again.
It doesn’t matter. Tyr, who pretends to be noble, won’t make strange wishes. Then cut right away.
At that time, I felt a presence inside the prison. I got up, sorting through my cards.
“I will listen to your wish later. The person you’ve been waiting for has arrived.”
Immediately after that, Undead and an officer appeared from the prison. The Undead was stroking the belly after a meal, and the officer led the Undead out into the yard.
good. Will Lieutenant Colonel Callis be able to be honest with himself?
The preparations are over. Now all you have to do is watch.
