[Amkena Side Story Episode 3]
* * *
He sometimes has nightmares.
The content of the nightmare was tediously fixed.
The characters that came out were also there.
However, no matter how many times he pretended, the reality was clear.
It doesn’t even feel like a dream.
“Why couldn’t you keep it?”
they resent
“We gave you our all. Pride, soul, and future. didn’t you promise We will protect the land we love.”
In the center of the group stands a young man wearing a golden crown.
Unlike the people around him, the young man doesn’t blame him.
The young man muttered with a forlorn expression.
“Islatio. Was it a burden you couldn’t handle? I’m sorry.”
“…”
“Hate your ugly brother.”
they turn around
Soon, they turned into shadows and dispersed.
What appeared behind him was a girl.
Even that smirk.
I remember all the graceful movements.
In the past, the girl was his nemesis.
“Ahaha! When did Loki act smug and now act weak?”
tell.
A being called the twin goddesses of Taoni.
She appeared behind him and whispered in his ear.
“It’s already too late. If you killed us, if you ruined my brother’s plans, take responsibility. Until the soul is worn out, until there is not even a bowl left… keep it. Stop the destruction of Mobius. Give your all.”
Aha.
The girl laughs out loud.
And it became fog and disappeared.
This is the end of the nightmare.
He noticed that he was about to wake up.
As expected, it came true.
“…”
I open my eyes.
I saw a familiar ceiling.
“Master, are you awake?”
His henchman stands by the bed.
Yunet Seed.
“A herbal tea that relieves morning fatigue. Eat it.”
A hot cup of tea was served.
He gulped down the contents of the cup.
“Did you have a nightmare?”
Yurnet said anxiously.
His henchman knew little about his master.
Hiding it will only add to your worries.
“Somehow… it seems stress has built up.”
he readily admitted.
Fatigue has accumulated lately.
No matter how strong a hero is, stress builds up as he battles to the death again and again.
To leave it unattended is to go against your convictions.
The same was true of myself.
‘Is it a dangerous step?’
one israat.
The young man, also called Loki, briefly judged his condition.
The Valhalla he designed is thoroughly prepared to manage the heroes’ stress levels.
After completing the task assigned to him, he could do anything.
Delicious food. comfortable bed. and various other entertainments.
As countless battles were scheduled in the future, aftercare was overdone.
having a hobby.
Anything is fine.
In Valhalla, a life of only fighting is not permitted.
This was a coercive action.
His henchmen, the 1st party, were also enjoying their own hobbies after receiving orders.
“Then Master. Prepare for today.”
Han nodded.
After washing your face in the bathroom, change into a special uniform.
After that, I receive a report on yesterday’s work and make a simple payment.
“So the special menu is Jjajangmyeon Jjamppong with sweet and sour pork?”
“yes.”
“Are you going to eat it?”
“It’s called taking a bite.”
after.
Han let out a sigh of relief.
The other time, to save face from Siris, he ate it all over again, but the second time he refused.
“Sense is good. Whose opinion is it?”
“This is Aaron.”
“Not bad.”
By now, the kitchen will be busy preparing dishes.
It’s earth food for a long time.
In addition, there are jajangmyeon and jjamppong, which are best friends with sweet and sour pork.
It looks like it will be a pretty exciting meal.
“What’s next on the agenda?”
“It’s about Master.”
“me?”
“yes. These days… Master’s condition is not good.”
“What is that, even meeting?”
“It is important to us. Above all.”
Han turned the back page of the meeting minutes.
The topic this time is how to recover the master’s condition.
However, the contents of the meeting are not recorded.
“I’m sorry, but the content of the meeting is a secret from the Master. Please consider it a surprise gift from us.”
“What kind of surprise is this?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to not know?”
Yurnet grinned.
Han smiled incredulously.
“You laughed. Fortunately, the.”
“What is my condition? What is the gift?”
“Have you had nightmares today? You look very tired these days. I bet you don’t mean to deny it.”
Han scratched the back of his head.
can’t you hide it either?
“Master is our sun. When the sun goes out, all the planets below it lose their light. In order to continue the battle in the future, it is most important for the Master to regain his original state.”
my original state
I don’t know exactly what condition it is in.
However, it was clear that his condition had deteriorated enough to be found out by Yurnet.
‘Master is disqualified.’
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
To think that he failed in the subject of putting physical condition management first.
If the heroes below knew this, they would surely laugh at it.
In fact, I was feeling the best.
It’s not interesting no matter what.
The world around me lost all its color and appeared only in black and white.
Hahn briefly diagnosed her condition as depression and lethargy. Burnout is the name of a common disease among office workers in the district.
“I left all the master schedules blank.”
“….”
“Forget about work and enjoy the day to your heart’s content. Because we all tried to give the Master pleasure.”
“How is the situation on the front lines?”
“It is as it is.”
Is it still in a state of lull?
After winning a great victory in an expedition not long ago, the enemy’s offensive has noticeably weakened.
They weren’t the ones who would be quiet just because they had won that much, but I still haven’t found the reason why they stopped the offensive.
Anyway, that’s how Valhalla was given some leeway.
That was the reason why all the first parties were able to gather at the meeting.
Normally, at least one or two would have been out on the battlefield.
“It could be a deception, so be vigilant.”
“Of course, Master. I have spread a strict barrier.”
Yurnet smiled and continued.
“Please feel free to enjoy yourself.”
“Come to think of it, overdue personnel work…”
“I finished everything yesterday.”
“Checking supplies…”
“I finished it yesterday.”
“Reorganization of boot camp…”
“It was done yesterday.”
Yunet’s smile deepened.
“…”
Is there no way.
“Today I am also resting.”
“This is a wise decision. How about taking a break and finding a new hobby?”
“Is that your purpose?”
“yes.”
don’t even hide it
“Isn’t the need for rest emphasized by Master himself?”
“It doesn’t.”
“The Master’s mental health is important even for the battles ahead. Be safe though. In order to ease the burden on the master, we have prepared appropriate entertainment as a guide.”
“ha. Do whatever you feel like.”
At this point, it is impossible to stop.
Han decided to accept it meekly.
“Go away.”
Following Yunet’s guidance, Han headed to a certain place.
There, Nihaku, the youngest member of Party 1, was waiting.
“It’s my turn first!”
“….”
“Do you know the entertainment of master movies?”
“of course.”
“I Nihaku carefully selected the best movies for Master!”
The place where Han arrived was a movie theater.
‘Is it a movie?’
In Valhalla’s cinemas, it was possible to watch out-of-date movies on Earth.
Reportedly, movies are one of Valhalla’s most popular pastimes.
Every time a new movie is released, this place is said to be a city of door.
The cinema is empty.
“Empty for Master!”
“Thank you for that.”
dump.
Han put himself in the front seat.
it’s a movie
It’s been a long time since I haven’t seen it.
I probably haven’t seen it since I fell for the game called Pick Me Up.
Because I was busy surviving.
“What movie is it?”
“Specially saved up to date! It must be the first movie Master has ever seen.”
Nihaku patted his chest confidently.
it’s the latest movie
It might be okay.
“Start the screening.”
Following Yurnet’s instructions, the interior darkens.
A screen popped up on the screen.
“Oh. I must have missed something.”
Yournet clapped her hands twice, and a dark shadow fell from the ceiling.
The shadow that covered his face with a mask gave the caramel popcorn and coke he was holding in his arms and disappeared.
Wrong.
Han put the popcorn in his mouth and chewed it.
it’s popcorn I think I ate it a long time ago.
“I’m full of expectations…”
Nihaku was looking at the screen with sparkling eyes.
It wasn’t long before the title appeared on the screen.
「The bicycle king Eom Jun-sik」
‘The bicycle king… Eom Jun-shik?’
2 hours later.
A staff roll appears on the screen.
“It’s really… impressive.”
Nihaku was wringing out tears.
Paeng!
Blow your nose into a handkerchief.
The girl nodded several times, filled with tears of emotion.
“At the end, especially long live Daehan Joseon! I don’t know what it means… There must have been a deep meaning… Master Wasn’t it a really moving movie?”
“…”
“Nihaku.”
“Why? Even Yuruni couldn’t resist the emotion…”
Nihaku squeezed out the water and looked to the side.
Yurnet, with an expression she had never seen before, was glaring at her.
Only then did Nihaku realize that something was wrong, but it was too late.
“Take him.”
Shut up!
Two shadows descended from the ceiling and grabbed Nihaku’s arms.
And he started dragging her out without mercy.
“for a moment! Why is this! It was a fun movie…!”
“Three days of half-sincere.”
“Bar semi-sincere room? Yurni! As for that… buy it…!”
Soon the cinema was quiet.
Yurnet said to Han, who was sitting there as stiff as a plaster cast.
“Let’s go after Master.”
“Oh, I see.”
Han suddenly came to his senses and stood up.
“What was I looking at?”
“it’s nothing. There was just a slight misunderstanding.”
“is it?”
I think I had a nightmare for a while.
Han hastily brushed aside the horrific memory and left the cinema.
“Next is this way.”
What followed was a large room.
A place closer to a playground than a room.
It was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
‘The training room.’
Equipment for physical training is prepared everywhere.
Han recalled memories.
When he was a 1-star hero in Taoni, he used to train in a similar place.
There was no one in the training room, as if there had been a prior announcement.
That was, except for one person.
“Are you here?”
A man who had been sitting in the center of the training room stood up.
“I waited for Master.”
The atmosphere is unusual.
A strange heat welled up in the man’s eyes as he opened his eyes.
It was such a murderous intent that a person with a weak mind would faint just by encountering it.
“What is it, Lidigion?”
Han replied calmly.
“There is such a thing as sports on Earth. One of them looks interesting, so I want to compete with the Master in particular.”
It was only then that Han found a structure across the center of the training room.
It was a low net made of nets.
“How about a game of tennis?”
Ridigion took out what was wrapped in a cloth.
It was a small iron ball.
thud!
When Lidigion set the iron ball down on the floor, the entire training room shook with strong vibrations.
clap.
Lidigion made a motion as if pulling a sword from its scabbard.
Then the particles came together and a huge, translucent sword was formed.
Clausolas.
It was his divine instrument that subdued numerous enemies together with men.
The form of Claus Solas, the demonic sword of the celestial manga, differs depending on the situation.
It was now taking the form of a greatsword.
Ridigion turned the hilt so that the side of the greatsword faced forward.
Then, he threw an unknown iron ball upwards.
“I will go, Master.”
Ridigion struck the ball with the side of his greatsword.
bang!
The applied force was so great that the shockwave spread and shattered all the windows in the training room.
At the same time, iron balls rushed at Han.
“…”
Pajijik!
Before I knew it, Han, who had pulled out the dragon sword, was receiving the iron ball.
Dark red lightning that bloomed from his body shot out in all directions.
“It’s fun.”
Han smiled.
If you received a gift, you should return it.
Before long, an iron ball imbued with overwhelming power was fired at Lidigion.
“…!”
thud!
Charleureuk!
After receiving the ball, Ridigion’s body was pushed back several meters.
The ankle is buried deep in the ground.
A deep smile spread across Ridigion’s lips.
And so, the killing tennis of the two men began.
