# 188
188. Just for once (12)
I opened my eyes.
The hatched pattern on the ceiling caught my eye.
It seems to be a private hotel room. But it wasn’t the room I was in.
King-size bed and luxurious white sheets. Luxurious wooden furniture was placed everywhere.
‘…That’s awful.’
Once I got up from bed.
There was no pain anywhere. The aftereffects of Exceed were also completely cured.
My physical condition seemed to be back to normal.
“Are you awake?”
As I was yawning, a woman in uniform entered the room.
It was Yunet.
Well,
there’s no way it won’t appear here.
“He slept all day. I thought he was dead.”
“Were you there?”
“Yes, even before the Master came.”
Yurnet smiled and handed me some water.
I drank the glass of water in one go.
“How did the event go?”
“After the Master’s death, a closing ceremony was held. A day has passed since then, and everyone has returned to their original waiting rooms. All that remains is our Niflheim and the Master’s Taoni.”
I looked out the window.
The sun is hanging halfway up the building.
A tidal wave of light was engulfing the city in the distance.
“Dimensional City will be destroyed within today. If we leave late, we will be swept away too.”
“Sure.”
“I’ve prepared breakfast. Would you like some?”
“I don’t eat. I have no appetite.”
Armor and coats hung on hangers by the bed.
After putting on the outfit, he lifted the sheath lying underneath.
Kagak.
The blade of Bifrost, pulled out with a scratching sound, was snapped.
I was finally able to feel what I was doing with Aaron.
“It was a great match. Lidigion also expressed admiration. He said he was looking forward to it when he reached 6 stars.”
“…”
“Master, as expected, you’re amazing. To think you’d win two crowns. Earth and Mobius were talked about with Master’s story. With this incident as an opportunity, rankers will also pay attention to Master.”
“That’s annoying.”
Because I don’t want to attract unnecessary attention.
Well, it was I who gave them the opportunity. No matter how he got past Exceed, he couldn’t hide the power of the Swordsman’s Soul. A master with a bit of an eye for detail would be able to properly pinpoint the meaning of the technique I wrote.
It’s because they broke through the protective barrier installed outside the stage.
‘I didn’t want to be noticed, but…’
I couldn’t get over it without using the Swordsman Spirit.
No regrets. It was something that would happen later anyway.
“I’ll ask you to fix this like I said yesterday.”
“Please leave it to me.”
I threw my sword at Yurnet.
The space next to Yurnet opened and he swallowed the sword. The original Bifrost has a self-healing feature, but as technology is technology, it won’t listen properly.
I left the bedroom and headed for the living room.
Looking at the outside view, it seems to be the top floor of the hotel. Waves of light were engulfing traffic lights, roads and various buildings.
“What about Aaron?”
“It’s in the next room. Shall I bring it?”
“Leave it alone.”
I said everything.
If I meet him again, it will be in Taoneer.
Perhaps at that time, he will be very different from the Aaron I knew.
“master.”
“What.”
I was getting ready to leave the room when Yurnet spoke to me.
“Muden suggested Aaron’s naturalization.”
“…”
“It’s not just a suggestion, it seems the doctor is firm. They’re swearing that they won’t show it even if they cut off both feet. What are you going to do?”
“How do you do it? Tell them to fuck it up.”
“Excuse me, but I agree with that suggestion.”
I looked around.
Yurnet had her eyes closed.
“Because a seat on the 13th floor of Niflheim may soon become vacant.”
“What do you mean?”
“Muden has lived too long. More than we can imagine.”
This sounds weird again.
I sighed.
“Are you going to stop him from coming back?”
“Not really. We’ll have to let him go when the time is right. That’s the story after that. After his job in Taonier is over. If he doesn’t choose to return to his world… I think it’s worth thinking about.”
“Do you think there will be Niflheim even then?”
“Of course. We like the Master and this world very much. If possible, I hope to stay there for as long as possible until I die of old age.”
Yurnet looked at me and smiled.
until you die of old age.
it sounds funny
“Lend me the sword. I have nothing to use while it’s being repaired.”
“You can take the sword by the front door.”
There was a sword identical to Bifrost’s in the umbrella stand.
I looked at the item and it was grade A. It’ll be fine as a backup while it’s being repaired.
I put the scabbard on my belt.
“master.”
“And why?”
“We are waiting.”
“…okay.”
I smiled and walked out the front door.
When I went back to my original room on the 8th floor of the hotel, all four members were waiting for me.
According to Jenna, shortly after I went missing, Niflheim personnel contacted me saying they were treating me.
“It’s amazing. It didn’t seem like a wound that would heal in one day.”
“I have to leave here for now. You can have an after party in the waiting room. They said that the dimension city will disappear soon.”
“Sure. Did you pack all your luggage? Radi said that she had an airship waiting right in front of her.”
Everyone hummed and left the room.
The images of the heroes filling the corridor were no longer visible.
After the closing ceremony, they said they were disbanded forcibly.
“By the way, are you an oppa? I watched a video of a battle royale. They beat everyone around. And with that body, they went all the way to individual competitions and even won the championship.”
“Yeah. Unlike anyone who’s been fiddling with poison.”
“Ah, unnie did a good job too.”
Jenna and Edith flirted and got ahead.
Behind him, Kishasha was munching on beef jerky, and at the very end, Belquist was walking with an expression of chewing shit.
I smiled.
“Are you so dissatisfied that you couldn’t go to the individual competition?”
“Not really. It’s just a pity that my eyes are rotten. For Taoneer to win, it was the right thing for you to go. If I did…” Belquist narrowed his eyes
.
Like reminiscing about that time.
“I’d like to ask you one thing.”
“say.”
“Are you sure that the skill pierced your senior’s sword soul?”
“If that’s all, I’d be happy.”
“It’s something the world doesn’t know.”
Belquist laughed and kept his mouth shut.
I also have good eyesight.
Belquist seems to have understood Aaron’s technique to some extent.
When I came out of the entrance of the hotel, I saw Capitalism standing in the parking lot.
The airship approached us and sent us down the stairs. As we climbed onto the deck, the airship began to slowly rise into the air.
‘Amkena…’
was still connected.
I’ve been playing the game all day for almost three days.
It was a great game break.
[World Raid Festa!]
[End of sub-events and information on reward distribution]
[All World Raid Festa sub-events have ended! Thank you to all the Masters who participated and information on event rewards and rankings…]
A shadow was cast over the entire city.
I looked up. An uncountable number of airships were filling the sky. From medium-sized airships like ours to super-large airships comparable in size to large buildings.
Estimated hundreds. But that fleet was only a fraction of the total.
‘Is this the start of the main event?’
As soon as the sub-event ends, the main menu of this event, World Raid, begins.
They were heading to the spot where the raid monster appeared.
Woo woo woo woo. My ears were deafened by the noise of hundreds of airships all at once.
“Can we, too, fit in there?”
“Not now.”
I responded with a smile at Kishasha’s words.
‘For now.’
Amkena and I were still split.
But next season will be different.
What we did this time wasn’t even a taste of the seasonal event.
The World Raid, where hundreds of top rankers gathered on two servers to check and cooperate with each other to fight super-high-ranking monsters, was the highlight of Pick Me Up’s many contents.
‘So grow up quickly.’
I looked at Amkena’s control screen.

Amkena was sweeping away War Horse Statues at the gift shop.
that’s not natural Someone brought you your five-star ticket. On a fictional day, I thought my back was bending while trying to win a master who only shoveled a shovel in a mini game.
[The ranking details of the 4-star dimension city.]
[1st place: Amkena (Taoni) – 132221 points]
[2nd place: Loki (Nippleheim) – 85234 points]
[3rd place: Kkudeok…]
Niflhe Lim is 2nd.
Even in a 4-star dimensional city.
Image deterioration is unavoidable, but that’s okay.
Because fame is of no use to a game anyway.

I put my butt on the iron chair on the deck. .
The Capitalism was leaving the event city and heading towards the dimension jump point. In the back, the airship fleet leaving the raid was drifting away.
Let’s see what you got
I looked at the list of items that Amkena had acquired.
The first thing that caught my eye was the glittering iridescent ticket.
A 5-star guaranteed summon ticket obtained as the overall 1st prize.
If you were born with 5 stars, it will be a great help in party composition as it will hit more than average no matter what comes out.
Next, the airship design.
This was an essential item to create a high-level airship.
In addition, there are a lot of items that are not easily obtained, such as high-quality upgrade stones and various rare materials. The foundation for further expansion has been laid.
‘The most important thing is the Advent Stone.’
I took out the jewelry box from my bosom.
The highest quality Advent Stone, the prize for winning the Battle Royale.
For me, it was more important and necessary than a 5-star summon ticket.
‘The problem is that this isn’t the end.’
You must open a special dungeon with this Advent Stone and clear the mission to obtain the imprint.
Of course, there is a chance of failure, and the cost is contamination or death.
If you fail, it’s over.
I decided to go back and make a detailed plan.
It was something to decide my future.
I don’t want to show weakness when he comes back.
It’s embarrassing if you fall behind.
Woo woo.
Finally, the dimension city disappeared from sight.
Deck of the Capitalism arc. Edith and Kishasha entered the ship, and Belquist, who had been quiet, followed them, saying he would train.
“Okay.”
In front of me, Jenna was struggling to untie a knotted plastic bag.
“Oh, this. It doesn’t come undone. How did you tie it?”
“Give me.”
It was a black plastic bag you would only find at a convenience store.
I got a plastic bag from Jenna and untied the tight knot.
The contents were quite heavy.
“What is this?”
“The food there was delicious. I brought it because it was okay to bring it. I was going to eat it with my brother. I didn’t eat breakfast.”
I opened the envelope and gave it to Jenna.
“Nice Cap!”
Jenna whistled and laid out the contents of the envelope.
“The first one I recommend! I was really surprised.
Jenna puts the milk carton on the deck.
The color is bright turquoise.
“Mintcho…”
“Eat yourself.”
“Yes? No, this is so delicious…”
“You should eat it.”
I sighed.
“You eat a lot of that. What’s next?”
“Oh, yes. You’ll be surprised to see it. Voila!”
The food Jenna brought out was wrapped in plastic wrap on a disposable plastic plate.
“It’s called sweet and sour pork. It’s a very funny name, right?”
Jenna unwrapped the package and placed the fork in front of me.
It’s worth eating. I’m hungry just in case.
“What about the sauce?”
Jenna smiled and pulled out a bowl of sweet and sour pork sauce.
Then he started pouring it into the sweet and sour pork.
‘A poem like this…’
