Chapter 19 (1/2)
My response to the second original character in my life was as follows.
“Uh, uh. I suddenly remembered something to do. Abel. Let’s go.”
I hurriedly grabbed Abel and stretched out my hand, but it was canceled because Caesar, who appeared in front of me as if teleporting in a flash, grabbed my arm and pulled me away. Oh no. Caesar took my arm and spoke slowly.
“Where are you going?”
“How dare this bastard!”
The black energy that spread like grains of sand attacked me, but Caesar quickly retreated and tossed a bunch of cards from his hands. The bundles of cards that block the energy are blazing black and disappear into the air. Even in the midst of it, he has the composure to throw a dice made of pure gold.
A black suit, a yellow shirt, and a light blue tie. Golden, dark blonde hair rolled back with mousse. The man who has the feeling of a young dandy man is Caesar. A descendant of Sisyphus. A man who is protected by the god of probability and the god of gambling. A scammer pretending to be a gambler! Whether the shock therapy worked or not, a few years of memories came to mind.
Dangerous. It’s dangerous. I don’t know anything else, but getting entangled with Caesar is dangerous. He is smart and well-planned. He’s a person who is unknown in his head. He was a pain in the ass to deal with. He was personally the most shunned of the Apocalypse.
Sleipnir. Can you hear me? Where are you? I gulped dry saliva and stepped back. Then suddenly, six arms grabbed me by the shoulder.
“Oh my God, this smell! I just want to take one bite! / Don’t say that rudely. Left./…”
This time it was Asura. A ghastly looking monster with one body, three heads, and six arms. Besides, all three of them had different personalities, tastes, and dreams, so they were like a poor Siamese who fought every day.
He was a villain with a realistic goal, believing that he was born like this because of tying a single red thread to his heart and that if he destroyed Solar, they would be freed.
“I’m sorry if I was rude! I just said it because it looked delicious! Call me Left!/We are Asura. We’ve heard a lot of rumors. Nice to meet you, human./……”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m Lian.”
Due to the creepy affinity, he even shook hands and gave a name. Left, center, and with arms crossed with eyes closed as if he didn’t want to – I don’t know who it was, but it seemed like it was – right.
There was a description that even the monsters were terrified when they saw Asura, but seeing it with my own eyes, it was understandable. At first glance, they looked even worse than the Siamese twins we saw in horror movies. The face is very handsome. All three of them had a red dot on their forehead. But what to do even if they’re handsome? It’s like a horror movie.
“Demigod. Do you know Asura’s abilities? I’ve heard of you being stupid, but think carefully.”
Abel wrinkled his brow and looked at my arm caught by Asura. Caesar sighed and said.
“If I wiggle it, I can send her flying beyond your knowledge.”
Asura is a monster who controls space. Not like some Bartholomew Kuma. I was very scared, but I calmly opened my mouth without showing any expression.
“Well, yes. Let’s hear what you have to say. Say it.”
“Hey!”
“Let’s just listen. Just listen!”
“It’s wise. Well, it hurts my mouth to explain it at length, so I’ll keep it simple. Human. I need you.”
Huh? For a moment, doubting my hearing, I pointed to my chest and asked, confused.
“………me?”
“Are there any other humans here besides you? I heard it has something to do with whether you’re the goddess of fate. The thing we’re trying to fix is related to it.”
To be more precise, he’s trying to take care of Solar, who pulls out the thread of fate. As I pondered, I was startled by the sound of the rattling dice coming from close to me.
“So, you should go with us.”
“Me? Me? Wait. Not Abel, really me?”
“Ah yes. Demigod. You were there too. You don’t seem very useless, but you should go with me.”
“…this bastard.”
“Ack, Abel!”
Hold on! Please be patient! In a rush to pull his scythe out of anger, I hugged him with my whole body, and he flinched and calmly lowered the scythe. I looked up at him, hugged him confusedly, and Abel looked down at me. How can he look good from below?
“Oh. This is an unexpected situation.”
Caesar, who was taking turns looking at our faces, touched his chin with a strange expression. Then he beckons me with a sly smile like a fox planning to pick grapes.
“If I took that person alone, would it be killing two birds with one stone?”
Damn it. The direction seemed a little wrong, but Caesar was quick to notice. He stared at me, his eyes gleaming as if inlaid with gold, and then rolled the dice he was holding. The dice fell into the air with a golden afterimage. 1 and 1. This time, he rolled while looking at Abel. Again 1 and 1. “Hoo.” Caesar admired it a second time.
“I tried to take only one because I was bothered, but no matter how much I tried, it was 2. Strangely. Hmm, demigod must come with me as well.”
I looked at the red thread on Caesar’s chest. It is so thin that it cannot be seen with the naked eye, like silk. This means that the chance of dying is almost zero.
“You cheeky bastard.”
Abel growled as if he was about to rush, but I grabbed him tightly. It’s not that I don’t believe in Abel’s abilities, Abel is strong. However, one of Caesar’s settings took a hit. Caesar is the luckiest man in the world. Besides, he has too many cunning tricks. I know that it is a difficult style to deal with with simple force, so I calmly tried to negotiate.
“What’s the benefit if I go there?”
“I’m sure you can get the information you want. I heard you’ve been digging for Asand’s information.”
“Yes, but that’s enough for me alone.”
“Assand?”
Abel intervened sharply. I feel sorry for the delay. Abel is the one who was exiled from Luce, and Asand is the guardian of Luce. He couldn’t help but come along, so I kept it a secret from him and went around collecting information.
