Episode 56 – Pursuit (4)

“…Did you really find out about that guy’s ability?”

> It’s nagging to say the least. Perfectly see through.

When I asked Pandora a question with a lingering expression, she nodded with a confident expression.

> The game changer in this battle is yourself. Praise.

And then, her eyes shine to the point where it’s burdensome.

That look is so far from his usual expressionless expression that he looks a little awkward.

‘Has he ever been this excited?’

Even when performing missions, he moves the Joy-Con as if he were playing a game, and he kills massacres with drones.

Even under such circumstances, the boy’s expression did not change much.

At least, when there is a change in facial expression, is it only when you play a fighting game with me, or when you talk about animation?

Ah, come to think of it, even the next day I fell asleep while playing an unplayed game with Dice, I had a strange expression on my face for a while.

> Honey, what are you doing?

“Ouch.”

As I recall that strange expression at that time, Pandora frowned and fed honey chestnuts to my head.

> Protect yourself. If I die, I can’t.

“…….”

It was shocking that Pandora, who had always had a honey night with someone, had a honey night on the other hand, but now was not the time to ask about that.

“…you crazy.”

Spicy fireballs filling the sky were rushing towards us before we knew it.

Seeing the executives struggling from a distance, the destructive power seemed to be considerable.

So, you can’t just sit still.

> are you?

“……?”

> Are you leaving me?

Because of this, I put the Pandora on my back on the floor and step back, and the guy starts sending chatting with tears in his eyes.

“…No, wait.”

> Are you strong? Then I’ll try to do something with that fire fist.

“Wait.”

Unfortunately, as Pandora said, you cannot bring out the fire fist.

If I use it, I don’t know which part of my body will be damaged this time. Even the skill system is in a state of being dead right now.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t just do nothing and burn to death.

“…Kyureukah.”

– What?

After thinking about it for a long time, I started whispering in the lowest possible voice to Kyureuk, who was wriggling in my arms.

“Can you stretch your body like a whip to stop those fireballs without revealing that they are tentacles?”

It was a pretty unreasonable request, in my opinion.

– Bye bye!

However, Kyureuk, who was looking up at me blankly, soon shook his tail as if there was no problem and poked his head out.

‘After all, there is only you.’

The executives in the distance were still hard at work fighting the fireballs, so they didn’t seem to have the energy to pay attention to this.

> Dear!! Our death!!

Then all that’s left is Pandora.

Among the four executives, he is the least likely to be a spy.

‘But you can’t be vigilant.’

If I thought of planting a spy, Pandora would never choose it, but there are ifs.

– Sreuk…

> !?!?!?

So, I cautiously approached him and covered her eyes with my hand.

> Why blindfolded?

> What play is this?

Embarrassed, Pandora started sending chats without looking at them, but there was no time to look at them all.

“Go, dwarf.”

– Bye!

As if he had become a trainer, he looked up at the sky with a determined expression and gave the command, and the wriggling nymph began to stretch out his tentacles at high speed.

– Cucaceae…!!!

Eventually, it became a huge whip and bounced off the fireballs that came close to it.

From a distance, it looked like an improved version of the defense I had before, and it was a pretty plausible defense.

– Wriggling, wriggling…

“Ugh.”

Looking at it up close, I could clearly see the tentacles protruding here and there, which gave me goosebumps.

– Bye!

“You did well, my dear.”

– mmm…

Anyway, the guy who successfully protected us is a little hesitant and then pats him, and his body trembles as if it makes him feel better.

– Soggy…

The guy in his arms becomes soft and starts to sway like a liquid.

I guess I’ll have to get rid of the spy quickly and get him out.

To be honest, she looks a little cute these days, but that doesn’t mean the creepy thing goes away.

> Am I burning to death? Is this hell?

“Okay, tell me the strategy you found.”

Anyway, that’s it, and now is the time to join forces with Pandora.

The probability that he is a spy is certainly not negligible, but her help is essential at this point.

Well, I’ll have to verify the strategy that Pandora found first.

> The look he’s taking right now, don’t you think you’ve seen it somewhere?

“…yes?”

Because of that, she quietly listens to her explanation, and she sends a chat with a frustrated expression.

> Why then? You know that ‘bullet game’, right?

“A barrage game?”

With his bewildered eyes, Pandora’s eyes flutter wildly.

> Don’t you know this?

> Are you ‘fake’?

> Am I the only one excited again?

“No, I just forgot about it.”

After a while, Pandora, who had been staring at me quietly as I answered the chattering chatter, began to tap the batter.

[Picture has been sent]

> Look, he looks the same as the boss character in the game, doesn’t he?

A single photo was sent to my smartphone.

“what?”

The figure of the character, drawn in the animation, really looked similar to the figure of a girl spewing fire in the air.

[Picture has been sent]

[Picture has been sent]

“Not only that, let’s compare these pictures with the way he was drunk earlier.”

Even the photos sent by Pandora after that matched the look the girl was taking before.

“Then please…”

At this point, there is only one conclusion.

“The concept of animation?”

If so, that’s a big deal.

At first glance, it may seem childish, but the ‘concept of animation’ is an ability that is classified as the highest risk level even by the Secret Intelligence Agency.

If you have to face the abilities of heroes and villains that appear in countless creations, there is literally no answer.

> No, not that.

Thanks to him, he has a tense expression on his face, so a resolute message from Pandora that flies away.

> The character he is taking now is a game character.

> It has never been officially animated.

Seeing that chat makes me even more confused.

Animated characters and game characters have the ability to be whatever they want?

Such a convenient ability cannot exist.

All abilities have weaknesses that can be exploited.

Even Justiceia, who was called invincible, had a weakness that could be attacked.

> I mean, you said you should worship yourself, didn’t you?

Thanks to you, I’ve been sweating for a while, but for some reason Pandora sends a chat with a relaxed expression.

> It was a guess until now, but I just figured out the concept of that guy’s possession perfectly.

After the fireballs that started to scorch the sky again, she brings a hacked screen to me.

> From now on, we will attack.

Looking at the spectrum that appeared on the screen, I quickly realized what she was talking about.

“…you’re a genius, you.”

> Ahem.

Pandora was a genius.

“By the way, how do you attack?”

> Ride on drones.

“…What?”

He was a genius with a little taste.

– Doo doo doo doo…

“…Hmm?”

The girl, who was pouring fireballs from the sky at the dominating hands, raised her head with a puzzled expression on her face at the sound of a machine that began to be heard from afar.

– Tatadadadang!!!

At the same time, bullets started flying towards her.

“…the attack arrives?”

Surprised by that fact, she lowered her altitude and muttered in a voice that she couldn’t understand.

“But, if you want to attack me, you have to…”

“…hi?”

A man standing on a drone appeared in front of her.

“This is a strategy, it’s a bit odd.”

The masked trauma was flying through the air, shooting at her with a drone that Pandora was controlling with a joystick.

> Progress is in the air, and the attack is one-shot efficiently. These are the basic rules of the barrage game.

“…By the way, what about those fireballs?”

When the attack that didn’t work at all started to work to some extent, the girl furrowed her eyebrows and began to drive the fireballs to the uninvited guests.

In response to her onslaught, Kang Ha-neul hurriedly asks a question.

> Avoid all attacks with control. Another rule of the barrage game.

“…Ugh.”

At the same time, the drone bent at a bizarre angle and started to avoid the fireballs.

“If that’s the case… why did I burn you…”

> Life exists in the piloted aircraft. This is the final rule of the barrage game.

The girl who was watching it started to caress the headset with an irritated expression on her face.

“…is it a coincidence? There’s no way you’d have noticed my abilities.”

And then, her eyes light up.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

At the same time, she begins to descend to the ground after taking off the fire she was spewing out.

“Because this ability was about to come to an end.”

Then, a voice filled with self-confidence escaped from her mouth.

“And as far as the next ability, it can never be attacked…”

“So, which song is next?”

However, the moment when she heard a modulated voice mixed with mechanical sounds of trauma in her ears.

“The concept of music?”

The girl had no choice but to freeze and stop talking.

“That… how?”

> The next BGM is God’s Wrath.

Pandora looked at it from afar and smiled quietly.

> Card Game Execution Bgeum.

“Is that a card game song?”

“…draw.”

At the same time, trauma whispers in a voice mixed with laughter, and the girl whose poker face is broken for the first time hurriedly stretches out her hand.

> Who wants to draw? First of all, shouldn’t we have to toss a coin and decide first, then second?

However, Pandora’s rebuttal immediately flew in.

“Is that so?”

A lively song from the headset of the girl who quietly began to grind her teeth was also playing quietly on Pandora’s laptop.
