Relife Player 069

[Chapter 030]

[If you are a player (2)]

After < End of the Century Destruction >, some areas were occupied by monsters or left in ruins.

Thirty years later, the fairy was inaugurated, but the neglected area remained almost unchanged. Every day there is talk of recapturing occupied areas or rebuilding broken cities, but at present it is too much to defend the existing areas.

It’s about time to come

The place where Eunha brought Eunah was also a building in an area neglected by the government.

Even the slightest movement raised a cloud of dust on the floor. When I looked down at the floor, I could see the footprints of my shoes.

The two raised the mana in their bodies to prevent dust from penetrating their respiratory tract.

Eunha How did you know that unnie?

…We became close after meeting at Happiness.

It was difficult to rectify it if I brought out a useless story.

Eunha scratched her cheek and said.

I didn’t lie. Eun-ha first met Seo-young Shin at Bukhansan Mountain, but it was while eating lunch at Happiness that she became close with her.

As it was, he avoided questions that were difficult to answer and waited for Shin Seo-yeong to come.

…come.

ah.

Soon after, the flow of mana was observed.

Eun-ah, who has improved than before in deploying her sensory network, also noticed the abnormal flow.

The wind blew. Inside the building where no wind can blow.

Wow….

Eun-ah opened her mouth when she saw the winds blowing from different directions getting entangled in the middle.

It was a simple yet systematic technique.

Magic that seemingly anyone can do.

However, Eun-ah knew how difficult it was to imagine the shape of the wind. It is only because the imagination of the wind is supported that the spells are harmonized and manifested as magic in the true sense.

It’s great… so…

The only power that Eun-ah knows about is Shin Seo-young’s ability to unleash the magic she built at the party venue.

It was the first time I had witnessed the reason she was called < Shinpung > right in front of my eyes.

sorry. did you wait a bit?

I’ve been waiting a long time, not a little bit.

Are you really picky?

Seoyoung Shin who walked out in the wind. Brushing her hair behind her ears, she pouted her lips at the first glance at Eunha who reproached her.

hi?

Oh hello!

Eun-a quickly bowed her upper body at a right angle. From the moment she caught a glimpse of the divine wind, she wanted to learn magic all the more.

I introduced her before, but her name is Seoyoung Shin. Don’t call me Twelve Seats, < Shinpung >, or anything like that, just call me Seoyoung unnie.

yes Seoyoung’s sister!

yes good

Shin Seo-young swallowed a laugh when she saw Eun-ah with sparkling eyes.

got caught

All of this was as planned.

In fact, it was not necessary to use magic to appear. She just wanted to show her side as a teacher to her future disciple Eun-ah and stimulate Eun-ah’s heart.

Of course, Eunha was not impressed by the appearance she showed. As soon as he realized her intentions, he was only showing a negative reaction.

Seoyoung did not regret Eunha’s reaction.

Because her target today was Eun-ah.

Where can I show you a little more?

It’s too dusty here. Let me ventilate for a moment.

She waved her hand lightly.

At that moment, the ripples that spread from under the palm of my hand became the wind and blew away the dust accumulated on the floor.

and…!

Eun-ah admired it as expected and

oh I wish every house had one.

The galaxy was admired in a different sense.

Eunha You….

Yes? why?

Eunha smiles broadly like an innocent child.

While I haven’t seen him for a while, the smoke has increased.

Seoyoung clicked her tongue. After all, children are cute, but he wasn’t cute at all.

It must be said that it feels like dealing with someone who is indifferent to everything.

Did you bring your sister?

I brought it as you requested.

Eun-ha didn’t care about her tongue-in-cheek reaction. She sighed, saying that she knew that too, and put her hands in her belt pockets.

What she gave him was a small magic stone.

After examining the magic stone here and there, Eun-ha went to the window to look at the light. Sunlight passing through a tall building was enough to check the magic stone’s condition.

It’s okay.

The magic stone consisted of only a smooth section. It was an 8th tier magic stone that was of the highest grade, with no visible flaws.

sister. have you said that before? Players say it’s dangerous.

huh.

Eun-ah replies with a determined face. She had already heard the explanation before coming here.

Still, even if my sister says she wants to become a player, I don’t object anymore. I’m not against it, but I’m going to test my sister to see if she can be a player.

The galaxy infused mana into a small magic stone.

The mana he drained was only a small amount.

However, mana has the property of attracting mana. Even though it was ubiquitous with a small amount of mana, the mana melted in the air began to flow around the magic stone.

Seoyoung noona, please.

okay.

Eunha threw the magic stone on the floor. Then, as if waiting for this moment, Mana rushed.

Immediately, Seoyoung puts a barrier on the entire floor.

What about Seoyoung noona’s player device?

Here it is.

hey sister

The player device Seoyoung took out was a knife that even a child could wield.

Eun-ha checked the device for problems and handed it to Eun-ah.

…huh.

It was my first time holding the device. She put her hand on the sharpened blade.

It was cold. very.

A knife that cannot feel even a single bit of warmth. I knew what to do with this.

…I’ll start.

The stage has already been prepared.

Eunha pointed to a monster that was born out of omnipresence.

…uh?

A monster that looks around while shaking off the mana attached to its body.

Eun-ah, who was carefully holding the knife, was taken aback when she made eye contact with the monster.

The monster was a blue squirrel the size of a palm.

The 8th tier monster, Porori. That’s my sister’s enemy.

Eunha said calmly.

Eun-ah didn’t know even more.

Is this… a monster…?

She thought that monsters were dangerous beings that harmed people.

Wasn’t it the same with the monsters I faced when I was young and the monsters I faced at Dawn Department Store?

But such a small and cute monster.

It was hard to think of hurting people.

…keep your guard down.

I didn’t even listen to Eunha’s advice.

Porori, who approached cautiously, tilted her small head.

will you hit me

The round eyes seemed to ask just that.

Kyaaaa so cute…!

I wanted to run over and hug him right away. I wanted to rub my face.

By the time he thought so, he had already completely allowed Porori’s approach.

…uh?

Porori inflates her head and opens her mouth full of teeth.

Are you Porori?

Where the hell did the size that could swallow a head come from in that small body?

It happened so suddenly.

I didn’t even have time to think.

Die.

So I told you not to be vigilant.

If Eunha hadn’t kicked Porori, her head might have been ripped off.

The 8th tier monster, Porori. It’s a monster that catches opponents off guard with a cute look and then puts anything in its mouth.

Ah…

Only then did she recall what Eunha had told her beforehand.

Humans and monsters cannot coexist.

Monsters born in omnipresence kill humans to covet mana.

You shouldn’t judge by appearances. As a player, you shouldn’t hesitate to face monsters. Because my sister is dying.

An entity that kills monsters if it is an unknown player.

However, she thought just a moment ago that there may be monsters that do no harm.

That complacency brought death upon itself.

A monster was a monster. Coexistence between monsters and humans was impossible.

But still…

She looked down at the knife she had dropped to the floor. Raising his head, he hesitated when he saw Porori, who was wary with his distance wide open.

A kid like that should… be killed?

Now, as soon as our eyes meet, Porori gets scared and runs away. After confirming that the entire floor was surrounded by barriers, the monster curled up in a corner.

It looked like a frightened puppy. To the point where I want to run right away and comfort her saying that it’s okay.

Even though he recognized that Porori was a monster, he felt resistance to killing a small creature.

Ah…

it was a knife.

Even if it was a device, it was a weapon that could eventually kill a life.

From the moment I recognized it, the hand holding the sword trembled.

Suddenly, I remembered what I had experienced at the department store at dawn. Even then, she couldn’t kill a man even in a situation where she could have killed him.

You have to kill it this time.

Because I made a promise with Eunha. If you want to be a player, you must at least know how to kill monsters.

Still, isn’t it better than before?

because it’s a monster not a person

can you do more

Eunha asked her who couldn’t even hold a knife properly.

Eun-ah forced herself to nod her head.

Still, I want to be a player.

I never thought of becoming a player from the beginning.

Watching Eunha running alone to face the Kraken that day.

While hearing the story that Eunha had defeated the goblin to save her friends that day.

Looking at Eunha sleeping on the bed in the hospital room that day.

Watching Giulietta being captured by men feeling powerless against herself that day.

Watching Bruno overturn the hellish moment that day at once.

It’s not wrong to be weak.

It is not wrong to be left behind.

There is nothing wrong with being protected.

But she felt helpless and didn’t want to watch it alone.

I didn’t want my beloved brother to do everything alone. I wanted to be someone who could stand side by side with him.

I needed strength to protect the people I love. I wanted to be someone who could protect them.

So, so…

Eun-a put strength into the hand holding the knife.

The shaking didn’t stop.

But I had to get over it.

☆

Scary kid. really.

Seoyoung, who has lunch with Eunha every month, knew how important Eunah’s existence was to him.

So it was surprising.

The way he treated Eun-ah so coldly.

why? what did you put on my face?

Eun-ha asked without taking her eyes off Eun-ah, who was struggling with Porori.

Because you are colder than I thought.

…You can’t be cold.

Then she realized. Looking at it now, Eun-ha was suppressing her desire to kill Porori right away. The slightest touch seemed like the explosion of mana that would harm people.

It has to be like this though.

Are players at risk?

Eunha nodded quietly.

Players were not meant to kill monsters that threatened humanity.

Players were more greedy, selfish, and loyal to their individual desires than anyone else.

She was well aware of the fate of those who entered the academy with a sense of justice to become the protector of mankind.

Some give up along the way.

Some conform to reality.

Some end up being weeded out.

There were only a few players who acted as protectors of mankind.

which one am i

She suddenly had an idea. And he smiled bitterly.

It was the one who conformed to reality. Wearing the mask of the protector of mankind.

…I want my older sister to be my older sister. That’s why I don’t want my sister to be a player.

How many times is it already?

Even in a situation where she could have killed Porori, Eun-ah was not ready to swing her sword.

This was the reason for this long and tedious battle.

But if you want your sister to be a player, you have to help her become the player she wants to be.

Is that the job of making a child who is still in elementary school kill monsters?

Seoyoung was dumbfounded.

Normal humans have resistance to killing living things.

Even at the Player Academy, freshmen are not asked to do crazy things like kill monsters.

yeah this is crazy Now he’s doing a crazy thing, telling him to kill monsters if he wants to be a player.

Oh, he had a weird head.

What were you thinking?

no. nothing. Maybe you’re just too sensitive? I don’t think it’s too late to enter the academy.

Originally, I wanted to kill people, but I lowered it to a monster because I was afraid I would be called crazy.

what is he

I must pretend I didn’t hear it.

Seoyoung did not respond. If I answered back, I felt like I would know just how crazy the world is.

There are two reasons for this test. Hana wants her sister to give up like this. I wanted them to know that the act of saving someone is no different from the act of killing someone.

Seoyoung also agreed with this statement.

Saving someone means killing someone.

At least that was the case in the world of players. There were times when players had to sacrifice someone to save someone, and there were times when players had to kill someone to save someone.

So why else?

The other one is… If my sister becomes a player, I want her to become a strong player. That way, at least you won’t get into trouble.

Seoyoung also agreed with this statement.

The player’s world is a world ruled by the logic of power.

It was wrong to be weak. I had to kill him before he died.

It was wrong to be left behind. It had to be weeded out before it was weeded out.

It was wrong to be protected. I had to betray before I was betrayed.

Wasn’t she like that too? She suffered indescribable humiliation before reaching this position.

The people who gave that humiliation are no longer there.

If he had a power that no one could surpass from the beginning, he might not have had a rough time. You may not have experienced painful and complicated emotions.

no wait

She looked down at the galaxy.

How does this child know the player’s world?

More than anything, he seemed to be saying that no one should be trusted. That no one should entrust their heart to you.

As a player, you should at least be able to kill monsters.

Although that is the life of an ideal player.

Players are also human after all, so entrusting their hearts to someone was inevitable.

to completely deny it.

Is it because you’re still young?

Or, if I had some kind of experience at that age, did that kind of thinking come out?

Seoyoung wanted to think of it as a possible former.

☆

Eun-ah had 14 chances to kill Porori.

And it wasn’t until 15 that she was able to end the monster’s breath.

in the middle of ruins. No trace could be found even after fighting.

with my daughter

It was just a magic stone that made a sound and fell to the floor.

Ah…

Eun-a sat down on the floor.

The trembling of holding the knife stopped at some point.

Looking at the red bloody hands, the sense of killing the monster that was struggling was revived.

Ah….

something jumped up. I bent down to not spit it out. I covered my mouth with my hand.

I barely endured it.

Then a stream of tears flowed down. He rubbed it with his bloody hand. Until blood smeared on his face, which was covered with sweat, tears and dust.

…well done.well done.

Eunha quietly approached and wiped her dirty face.

She hugged him and sobbed silently.
