I Have Come To End This Fight

Episode 59. One Hundred Foot Ritual (1)

The blue-haired girl grinned and climbed onto the carriage.

“Good! You can do it like this!”

With those words, she tucks her butt into Poppy’s thighs without anyone stopping her.

After that, wouldn’t it be so comfortable to lean my back and head on Poppy’s chest?

It looked like a father sitting his young daughter on his lap.

Of course, the relationship between the two was not a father and daughter relationship, of course, but it was a problem that they were strangers whom they saw for the first time today.

Yuri, who is surprised by the blue-haired girl’s sudden action, and Poppy, who is even more shocked and hardened like a stone.

On the other hand, the excited blue-haired girl chattered.

“Wow, isn’t this more comfortable than I thought? It feels like sitting in a soft chair! As it is… huh?”

The chattering blue-haired girl grabbed something that she felt on her thigh.

“What is this?”

Startle-!

The moment the blue-haired girl’s hand got stronger, Poppy trembled with a very puzzled expression.

“I am hungry!”

Jomuljojo-.

“huh? what is this? Are you suddenly growing up?”

Poppy’s face and scalp turned red, turning into a boiled octopus.

“ship… Hungry… hehehehe… … !”

He screamed and grabbed the blue-haired girl by the waist and tossed her into the air.

The force was so strong that the girl floated several meters into the air.

“What, what?!”

She swung once in the air and lightly landed on the wagon, blinking her eyes in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Poppy… … .

“hungry. hungry. hungry. hungry. hungry. hungry. hungry… … .”

He hugged his legs tightly and fired ‘I’m hungry’ like a quick-fire gun.

It’s like humming a song.

“what? Why is he like that?”

The girl, not knowing what she had done, tilted her head.

On the other hand, Yuri, who watched the series of events right next to her, had a hunch.

“… Yem disease… … .”

A new type of mad seed has appeared around him.

* * *

It was a rare sight to see 100 wagons running down the road in the forest.

And leading the procession of all the carriages at the head was a carriage ridden by a man with one eye.

He occupied a space for four people and lay there, boggling his legs.

The moment I closed my eyes and enjoyed my free time.

“huh?”

His eyes lightly opened.

In his narrowly opened field of vision, he caught a black dot approaching quickly from the front.

As the black dot got closer, its shape changed into a black swordsman, and when it got close to it, it leapt up onto the carriage of the one-eyed man.

fault-.

The Black Swordsman who suddenly appeared was a proud woman in her late 30s.

The one-eyed man who saw her greeted her lightly.

“Are you here?”

“Vice-captain.”

She slightly bowed her head to say hello, and she was a general manager-level greeting under the command of one eye.

In addition, as a person who compensates for the gaps of One-Eye, who handles everything with one eye, she was also an existence called ‘mother’ to subordinates under One Eye.

Her voice, which took care of what he had to do today in place of one eye, was slightly sharp.

“What are you doing here, vice-captain?”

“Lie down.”

“The ceremony is right around the corner, so you need to prepare.”

“What is the preparation? And can’t you see I’m working?”

“What is it?”

“Are you leading the kids?”

“… Isn’t it enough to leave that to just about anyone! Who knows that food is many times more important than this!”

“It’s such an important matter, you’d better handle it than me. Isn’t that right, Mom?”

“… … .”

The corners of her lips trembled at the sight of her one-eyed smile.

It was a face that would have been slapped if it hadn’t been for his direct superior.

After trying to calm her anger, she managed to straighten her twisted mouth.

And he recalled his original mission.

“Whoa… I will report you.”

“try.”

“All rehearsals for the ceremony have been completed and everyone is currently on standby.”

“Good work. Then go and wait. ah! Are you going to ride too? It’s kind of lucky,”

One-Eye knocked on the seat next to me, but the woman did not relax.

Because there was still a report to do.

In fact, it was as if I had come for this report.

“… I will report you.”

“huh? Wasn’t it over?”

“The usage record of the 1st year rider has been confirmed at the special discount store opened on January 1st.”

“What else am I saying, then I made it to write it, so of course it will be recorded…” uh? Now wait… … !”

The one-eyed man who was trying to pass it by was startled and raised his upper body.

“What year is it?”

“I said it was the first year.”

“… The one-year car came to the mainland that day and used the special edition?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“… … .”

One-eyed was at a loss for words.

Year 1 Exclusive Discount Store.

There was one reason why the special edition, which no one had used for decades, still exists.

role as a hidden quest.

There are many types of quests given by the cradle, among which there are various hidden quests in addition to those officially offered by the cradle.

The year 1 special edition was part of that hidden quest.

To find out the existence of the hidden year 1 special edition and use it.

It’s already been decades since this ‘1st year special edition quest’ that I don’t know who suggested it came into existence.

And so far, there has been no case of using the special edition for the first year.

Not even once.

‘In the first place, this wasn’t a quest made to wake up.’

So now, Yoram has set the ‘Unattainable’ grade for this ‘1st Year Special Edition Quest’.

Accordingly, it was a quest that might disappear soon.

But someone broke it.

‘What kind of guy… … ?’

The moment I had that thought, a name suddenly came to mind.

The one-eyed man asked in a low voice.

“Perhaps that one year difference… That was the name of the first year using the special edition. Are you Yuri Holland?”

“How did you know?”

“… … ?!”

From nob le mt l dot com

Maybe it will come out anyway.

He said he was going to catch someone.

“… It is that child again.”

What the hell is this kid doing!

I went to the mainland of the cradle, and then came back to the Forest of Beginnings.

That’s not enough, he robbed the Black Swordsman’s camp, even his own barracks?

I was curious to know how he got back and forth between the mainland and the cradle.

But more than that, I was most curious about what the hell was going on in his head and what thoughts he was living.

The one-eyed man who stuck out his tongue like that.

He remembered something and asked with a stuttering expression on his face.

“That, if I remember correctly, this first year special edition… Did you put that in?”

The woman nodded as if she knew how to ask the question.

“Are you talking about the Gaul vision?”

“Yeah, yes! that!”

“I put it in.”

“why?”

“Why? The vice-captain said to put it in. I must have asked again 3 times. Are you really putting that in?”

The vice-captain was at a loss for words at the adjutant’s blunt reply.

It wasn’t wrong, so he nodded his head with a trembling face.

“… That’s right, I just told you to fill it up just to fill in the number of things.”

Quest rewards get better the higher the difficulty.

Usually, high-difficulty quests performed by 5-year-olds receive the best rewards.

However, this year 1 special edition quest was rated unachievable.

Even the reward is that ‘you can buy store sales items at a very low price’.

This is where the problem arises.

It’s only one year car, and how much will it have if the reserve jockey has points.

Therefore, the products of the first year special sale must be cheap enough to be purchased by the first year.

As it was a quest reward of an unachievable grade, it had to be good things.

Since it is difficult to satisfy both conditions, the first year special edition has included both low-quality and high-quality items.

However, one of the high-quality items put in this time was a problem.

The number of high-quality items to be filled in was insufficient, so they were inserted, but in fact, it was simply not at the level of being classified as high-quality.

The one-eyed sigh asked.

“… how much?”

How many years have you been together?

Even when the vice-captain spoke nonsense, the adjutant fully understood and answered.

“300,000 points.”

That’s quite a lot of points.

To the extent that a normal reserve jockey could not even dare to do it.

But what about that guy who collected points by doing strange things in the Forest of Beginnings?

gulp-.

The vice-captain swallowed dry saliva and asked again.

“no way… Are you sold?”

“… … .”

The woman answered the question in silence.

However, it was not difficult to infer what that silence meant.

“hahahaha… … .”

One-eyed man, Duran Bikovic, one of the vice-captains of the Black Swords.

He looked up at the sky and let out a big smile.

“… Heh heh heh.”

Vision of the Gauls that have been included in this special discount sale list.

Its efficacy and effect are said to be the same as the legendary elixir, so even the name it is called has been inherited.

The great name is called… … .

“… It was a windfall kid.”

It was ‘Elixir’.

* * *

Yuri lifted the pendant hanging from his neck into the sky.

The dark green liquid glistening in the sunlight looked really appetizing.

gulp-.

‘What does this taste like?’

Green apple flavor?

Green grape flavor?

The delicate figure that looks like a luxurious dessert stimulated Yuri’s appetite.

Yuri suppressed this with superhuman patience.

‘Let’s wait… Be patient.’

If this is poison, the moment you eat it, it’s the second life and the second job.

Even if it’s a medicine, you don’t know what side effects it might have.

for example… … .

‘Like hair loss?’

Yuri caught a glimpse of Poppy’s coppery bald head.

Then, the strong taste of the moment before disappeared.

‘… When inspiration comes later, I will ask and eat it.’

John would know what this is.

Although he has a dirty temper, he is quite a well-informed person.

Yuri praised John and hid the pendant under his clothes.

Then he glanced at Poppy’s side.

There, a blue-haired girl crouched down.

While Poppy and the girl were having a bizarre scuffle, the carriage started off, and thanks to that, the blue-haired girl was able to occupy the far end of the carriage.

Yuri thought that she might do something strange again because she tried to get on the carriage with all her energy.

Contrary to expectations, however, the blue-haired girl only revealed that her name was ‘Arin Helga’ and closed her eyes.

It was an unbelievably calm ending that they rode the wagon together while making such a fuss.

‘Then why the hell did you go through that fuss and try to ride together?’

Yuri was able to realize again.

‘As expected, it’s pointless to try to figure out the behavior of crazy things.’

There is no human being as unpredictable as them.

‘Well, it’s nice that it’s quiet.’

After that, Arin never opened her eyes and slept, and Poppy was crouching a little away from Arin.

Although Poppy kept sticking to the glass so as not to touch Arin, it was a bit narrow, but it was still a hundred times better than being noisy.

Yuri enjoyed the silence.

Meanwhile, the wagon started and the other 50 riders were busy looking around.

“here… cradle.”

“at las… Finally, to the dragon’s cradle!”

They were thrilled that they had finally reached the dragon’s cradle after enduring a hellish month.

Although the surrounding scenery was not very different from the forest at the beginning, those who gave meaning to this place as the mainland of the Dragon’s Cradle accepted even the air as special.

But that didn’t last too long either.

Dag dag dag dag dag dag-.

An hour since the wagon with the riders moved.

“… How long are you going?”

“Is it still far?”

Even after riding the wagon for an hour, the riders were puzzled by the unchanging scenery.

At the same time, I had the hope that ‘it will arrive in a little while’.

However, Yuri, who had already been to the mainland, laid down early.

‘At this rate… I’ll have to go for a while longer.’

If this procession were heading to the central district now, it would not have arrived in an hour or two.

And Yuri’s guess was correct.

Seven hours had passed since the carriage departed.

Kik-.

The wagon, which gradually slowed down, soon came to a stop in a wide open area in the forest.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, the sound of music exploded from here and there.

“Did you all come? Is that so?”

“at las… nope… … .”

The riders, who had been crouching for a long time, stood up like zombies.

A struggle to straighten the waist even a little.

But the riders were not given a chance to rest.

“Sort it out!”

Startled by the loud voice, the people quickly got off the wagon and gathered in one corner of the empty lot.

As soon as all 300 jockeys gathered, the movement started again.

Jerk-jerk-.

The riders, not knowing where they were going, simply followed the Black Swordsman.

After a while, the forest road that I had been watching for hours finally came to an end.

At the same time, exclamations of exclamation flowed here and there at the huge amphitheater that appeared in front of them.

“That… what?”

“and… … .”

“uh? Have I ever seen anything like that?”

“that… An amphitheater where slave gladiators fought!”

Even at the moment when the 50th riders were surprised by its overwhelming size, their footsteps did not stop.

slowly and at a steady pace.

That’s how they passed through the north gate that glass had been in and out of a few hours ago.

Up to that point, Yuri had already expected it.

He thought that now both roads would welcome them.

However, it was not a two-way road that greeted the 50th class after that.

Yuri’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

‘Was there another road?’

Both sides of the north gate were T-shaped.

However, what was considered a dead-end wall was wide open and turned into a new passage.

And the moment you enter it.

thud-.

Yuri felt the feel of the air change.

Somewhere heavy, with a thick, unpleasant scent.

And with the feeling of the air as if I had felt it somewhere.

Yuri’s brow twitched.

‘… what. I wasn’t like this before?’

It was a strange feeling of air that I had not received when I came before.

And it wasn’t just Yuri who felt that way.

The small chatter that had been heard a moment ago had completely disappeared.

Jerk-jerk-.

All you hear is the footsteps of hundreds of people.

everyone felt it

At the end of this dark aisle.

That there is something waiting for them beyond the light of the exit far away.
