I Can See Your Code

I see your code (95)

It was lunchtime when the sun was in the middle of the sky when I woke up.

Coming to this world, I’ve never woken up so late, so I guess I’ve got the characteristic of getting a good night’s sleep when the environment changes. When I was camping a while ago, I actually slept better than at home.

I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to move slowly and change your life. Because the number of people living there is increasing, I also thought that I needed a bigger house.

After thinking about it for a while, I went downstairs to the inn.

A very ornately decorated restaurant. Even the meals are buffet style.

I would believe this is a hotel. Should I say it’s worth 5 silvers per night?

“Hello, guest. The restaurant fee is 1 silver.”

… … Meals were not included. Quite expensive than expected. One silver is roughly 10,000 won.

Of course, by my standards right now, it’s like a penny. Without saying a word, he handed the money and went inside.

Most of the customers in the restaurant were drivers, and it seemed that they also came to participate in the tournament.

It’s probably right that they have to pay 1 silver to fill their stomachs with a buffet. For some, I think that might not be enough.

I didn’t know much about it, so I turned my attention to it and sat down with meat mainly. As soon as I finish half of it crazy, I can barely hear the voices around me.

“You know what?”

“What do you mean?”

“I heard that Lord Dike will participate in this tournament.”

Dake? I listened indifferently, and then straightened my posture. Because it was a character I knew.

The knight who was receiving the word made a surprised face.

“Is that Sir Dike who said he was sure to become a national knight within five years?”

“okay. You’re right, Sir Dake, who is sure to become a national knight in five years.”

“Why is that bastard? I heard you are busy building up your performance these days.”

“Well. I don’t know why. It might just be a whim. There is something more fun than that.”

“Something else?”

“I heard that Sir Dayk submitted the application for participation this time not before Eul, but before G.”

… … what?

“… … what you must have heard wrong What is the reason for a yangban of that size to participate in the first round?”

“I don’t know either. Anyway, I’m sure. I know a little about the article I received yesterday, but I heard it directly from him.”

“Huh, then you are really going to compete there. The lower 3rd graders who were trying to win even the first match this time will shed tears of blood.”

“Maybe he was aiming for that.”

The two laughed peacefully as if they had participated in the event before.

Well, they are both 5th grade, so even if you participated before the first, you might not think much of it. It’s not like he was trying to win the championship anyway.

On the other hand, I was a little confused.

I’m confident that I can beat the 3rd grade level, but it’s a bit vague if it’s Dike. Even at this point, I’d probably be in the upper-intermediate level of 3rd grade. Even in the same grade, the difference is quite large.

Shouldn’t that be the difference between adult males and adolescents?

The goal wasn’t always to win, but… … It’s probably better to win the game to spread the word.

With a sigh in my heart, the topic of the two of them moved on to my story. Exactly on the side of my disguised identity.

It wasn’t very important, it was just that one crazy bastard was choosing a different way of committing suicide.

Maybe it’s because he didn’t believe he was a real disciple. That’s right, because it’s famous that Iron has no pupils.

It’s not because he doesn’t accept it or because there are no students who want to learn. Rather the opposite.

There were a lot of people who wanted to learn, and Iron didn’t bother to refuse it. The problem is that most of those humans died or fled in less than a month.

One of the people who managed to survive like that was trying to sue that little bastard just tried to kill us, but he was beaten by Iron and turned into a half-body.

Since then, no one has ever claimed to be his disciple.

Anyway, you have to get up.

I heard good news, and dinner was over.

But after hearing the next story, I had no choice but to sit down again.

“By the way, I heard that a paladin also participated this time.”

“A paladin? it’s weird They’re the ones who don’t usually show up in competitions like this. Is he even before the age?”

“no. It is said that before You are quite famous.”

“Are you famous? Who is it?”

“Silence Rakian. How many times have you heard it?”

… … who? No, what better than that?

I was absurd, and as I listened to the next words, I saw a familiar face entering the restaurant.

why is he here

“I heard that you are the disciple of the emperor slayer, the mad dog Iron. Well. To be honest, I was skeptical, but looking at the atmosphere, I think it might be true. When I was at Paladin Academy, I had a motive that exudes the same vibe as you. Unfortunately, he later switched to the Heretic Inquisitor. I thought it would be okay to go anywhere with that friend… … . I sometimes hear that it’s too bright, so I thought it would neutralize each other if I stayed with him. I still don’t know why I suddenly chose the path of a Heretic Inquisitor. He said his dream was to become a great paladin, even though he had a rather dark personality.”

“I think I know why.”

“Is that really true? You wouldn’t even have seen that friend’s face… … . Oh, and don’t get me wrong. I’m not really trying to say that the Heretic Inquisitor is worse than the Paladin. What they do is a little dark, but in the end someone has to do it. In a way, I think of it as a noble thing to get your hands dirty instead of others. I’m just saying it because I regret not being able to hang out with that friend. Oh, and that doesn’t mean that paladins are idle with nothing to do. I, myself, continued to practice silently until some time ago, but this is not something a human can do. It was a necessary process for me at the temple, and I accepted it countless times, but it was a pain I would never do again. you won’t know How can I not speak… … .”

“… … .”

Thirty minutes have passed since Rakian talked like that. During this time, I had no choice but to endure the continuous violence of language without interrupting a single word.

Previously, if someone had asked me if I could kill a person with just the mouthpiece, I would have said yes.

Because Byron was there. Wasn’t he the one who did something like that with a single word?

But at the same time, I never imagined that there would be a human being capable of doing that with thousands of words without any power.

bell?

Without realizing it, my hand went to the scabbard, and I endured it with superhuman patience. When I woke up and looked around, we were the only guests left.

The knights who said they liked it ran away with a tired expression, and only the employees stared into the air with a scolding face as they could not afford to empty their seats.

Isn’t that kind of professionalism the biggest proof that this is a top-notch inn? It’s not like a private bathroom or fancy dining room decor.

“Did you say Rakian?”

“… … So when I was in Layton… … Oh, have you ever wondered why the paladin participated in the tournament? If that’s the case, it doesn’t have a great purpose… … .”

“stop.”

“stop? Oh, you mean I don’t need to explain? Well, having noticed the change of heart of my mate, whom I hadn’t seen before, I may have immediately figured out why I’m participating in the tournament. You have that kind of insight… … .”

“Shut up.”

I finally put my hand to the scabbard and said.

“If you open your mouth again from now on, I will kill you regardless of the rules of the tournament.”

“… … .”

Rakian looked at me with an expression that he did not understand English. Still, seeing that he was quiet and quiet, he seems to have experienced this kind of situation often.

“From now on, I will ask the question. Answer no more than three words. Do you understand?”

“… … .”

“You can answer me.”

“I do.”

Rakian gently nodded her head.

He’s not really a bad person to see him do that to someone with a lower rating than him… … . Can’t you just close your mouth a little?

“Then ask. Why did you participate in the tournament?”

“Because I told you to leave the temple. I don’t usually recommend this kind of competition to paladins, but I still feel sorry for myself… … .”

Rakyan stopped talking again when he gently brought his hand near the scabbard. I will live now.

Anyway, was the reason for participating in the event that he was expelled from the temple?

It must have been that he couldn’t afford it there. Maybe it wasn’t the feeling of having my faith tested every day.

He may have been at the crossroads of choosing whether to go to Kitan or send Rakian to Kitan.

“Then the second question. Why did you come to me?”

“Well… … I didn’t really come to you.”

But do you talk that much?

“Actually, it could be considered a coincidence. This is my fourth visit to this restaurant.”

“fourth?”

“It seems that there are a lot of reservations because of the tournament. By the time the food came out, they all said they forgot to make a reservation and asked if they could free up a seat. Really, no matter how busy you are, such a basic… … .”

“stop. please.”

Unbeknownst to me, a voice of pleading rang out. Rakian quietly closed his mouth this time as well.

I’m glad you listened, though, if you don’t stop, someone today will be the Lord… … I would have gone to see Kitan.

I grabbed my hair and got up from my seat. At that moment, my body trembled slightly. because of mental pain.

Seeing this, Rakian asked with a worried look.

“Are you okay? Your complexion looks bad. It’s been that way since I was young… … . No matter how much physical training you do, your pass will become narrow, but you have to develop a minimum body level. After all, what we do is use our body, isn’t it? Even at the Paladin Academy, basic physical training courses… … .”

It’s okay without you, baby

“I’m going to stop. I have something to do.”

“Oh, that’s unfortunate. If you have work to do, you should go. Oh, but do you know that? There’s a famous restaurant in the city, and after that chore… … .”

Even though he walks without answering, the words do not stop behind him. The employee who was guarding the entrance disappeared somewhere, thinking that he could not stand it any longer.

I sighed and went up to the room, looking outside. Because there was a code floating around.

[NPC-1-174-3]

That’s… … It’s definitely Dake’s code. What are you doing over there?

He was standing behind the window and staring intently at me. Something’s wrong with me.

He was still tired, so he looked at me with the meaning of begging me to turn it off.

Dike gave a slightly startled expression, then left with a smile on his face.

… … Why the hell did you come

I thought about it and gave up quickly. My head is not spinning like that now. It won’t matter anyway

Instead of worrying about such useless things, I walked up the stairs.
