I Killed the Heroine in the Game

09 : I met a strange person today.

A daytime cafe. It is also possessed by evil spirits. I rubbed my eyes wondering if I was looking at something, but sadly the scenery didn’t change.

After receiving the cash from the protagonist who went to a nearby bank, I headed to a cafe where exorcists often go, guided by the protagonist.

As soon as you enter the entrance of the cafe, you are muttering curses while clinging to the owner’s shoulder. An evil spirit in the form of a centipede that climbs the walls of a building and flies around like flying flies.

I say it again. Centipedes bigger than the palm of a person are flying around like flies.

When you come in sweating in the heat, the temperature difference between the outside and the outside is clear, and your skin cools down.

There seemed to be more evil spirits than most abandoned houses, and there were so many evil spirits that, of course, no one was alive inside except for the president.

Did you bring this place as a cafe?

Those who don’t know anything will understand, but a human who can see evil spirits just like me brought me to a place like this.

Even though evil spirits of that level don’t pose a threat to me, they definitely give me mental fatigue.

I put my hand in my bank account and rummaged through my bankbook, contemplating whether I should drive the new ax I bought yesterday or the knife I bought three days ago into the head of the protagonist who had dragged me to this place.

The main character waved his hand in surprise as he received my gaze.

“Huh?! He, yeo, this is a cafe dedicated to exorcists built in a tangled place…… ! Not a strange place! I can’t even use the land because my spiritual power is tangled! I can’t even fix the malaise of the spirit vein!”

“Because of that, because there are so many evil spirits, ordinary people can’t even use it! When exorcists say they have personal conversations, they all come here! It’s tradition! That’s why I came!”

“He is really good. Even if I didn’t go to the academy. Would you believe it if I said tradition? In the first place, the evil spirit of Sifal rolls around like a flying insect. Talking here? The words automatically come out of your mouth.”

If that thing makes sense, I’ll deliberately fool you, and later, when the conversation is over, I’ll stick a knife in the back of your head.

A cafe dedicated to exorcists? Why the hell would you just leave something like that? How many exorcists would make something like that in this country? After losing money, it is obvious that it will go bankrupt in an instant.

Leave unusable buildings in this country in the first place? It can’t be.

This cafe is in the middle of downtown Jongno, not anywhere else, but the landlords cannot allow evil spirits to wander in such a place.

I heard that he will give you money just by talking to him, so I thought the main character even spent the money because he wanted to check if Wooshin was healthy.

This…… What is your intention?

I feel an ominous sensation for a moment, and the senses of my whole body are sharpened.

Is it an evil spirit disguised as the main character or something? Or an attack by those who are targeting me?

The only ones who can get close to me by copying the main character’s image are the ones who are targeting me.

I grabbed a blue dragon sword and a greatsword in one hand from the bankbook, secured a position where I could escape at any time from the cafe entrance, and glared at the main character’s face.

The guy with the main character’s face trembled like a cat slapped on the cheek by my reaction and shouted.

“Eh?! Please calm down…… ! I don’t know why you’re so angry! If you feel bad, it’s different! I’ll go somewhere else! All the exorcists who attend the academy know the existence of this cafe…… ! So I didn’t expect to be so surprised, ah. Sorry… ….”

Cry out in bewilderment The main character realizes his mistake and bows his head after talking about the academy. I put my honest question into his mouth.

“Are you proud of your academic background?”

“… ….”

I put aside the boasting of my academic background and followed you cheerfully. Then you bring people to a place like this? I frowned a lot.

I wonder if the guy in front of me is the main character because he’s suddenly getting into such a fight.

Did those who really came after me copy the main character’s face?

While maintaining my vigilance, I asked the annoying guy in front of me to show me my exorcist’s license, and the main character obediently handed over the license.

When I checked my license with my eyes strained, the plastic card had a picture of a person’s face in front of me.

The moment I saw the name E, which was embedded next to the word A-class, I also remembered that the original main character’s name was A.

And then, let’s see. I don’t think there’s a person strong enough to kiII the main character and steal it.

Then the fool who spent money to talk to me right in front of me is the main character…….

“Are you more of a woman than that?”

“Eh? Yes. That woman, huh?”

I was taken aback when I heard the answers from the gender column and A that confidently stated that it was a woman.

A woman? Who’s the guy in front? The lines were thin, but unlike the Seo Yoon-seo and Soo-mok I’d seen before, I didn’t think it was a woman because she was wearing pants.

Mmm. Apparently, my younger brother said that this game was a harem. Is the main character a woman?

What did I get wrong? I wanted to. When I thought about it again, it reminded me of the fact that you can select your gender in this game.

No, no, gender selection. Previously, they said that there are LGBT things in the world these days, so I decided to acknowledge the love of the main character with a non-discriminatory mind.

Just because a woman likes a woman, does she think it’s a crime? I nodded. After returning the license to the main character, he pointed the knife straight away.

It’s not a sin for a woman to love a woman. A guy who suddenly drags a person to a haunted house like this can be beaten.

“It’s okay to be full of evil spirits. After all, I see evil spirits every day, and I see more than this when I go to a poor abandoned house. But what kind of bullsh*t is dragging a person to a place like this to talk to Sipal? Shall I return the money? Does it matter if I cut my hands off you and go?”

“Sorry, sorry…… ! It’s my mistake! Please listen to me for a moment…… !”

The main character apologized, saying it was his own mistake to bring him here without saying a word.

I nodded her head obediently because I thought I would definitely listen to what this guy wanted after receiving the money.

It took me a while to see him so frightened by the reaction that made him frown because he was annoyed at the moment.

Rather than that, I asked out of pure curiosity what kind of tradition it is to talk about important things in such an eerie place.

The protagonist. Ay replied that the tradition started when her grandmother used this place as a secret base for independence activists during the Japanese colonial era.

Since then, this cafe has long been a place for exorcists to gather and share personal stories.

It is said that exorcists who lack money but have no connections are used as a window to receive requests other than extermination of evil spirits.

I was surprised that a place like this even existed. More than that, I was interested in the story of Gaddung and her grandmother’s independence movement to resist the Japanese army defiled and trampled the land with her curse.

It is said that her grandmother is regarded as the most terrifying evil spirit existing in modern Japan, thanks to the various activities of the dog poop at that time.

What is the name of the most feared exorcist in Japan?

I laughed, imagining how the Japanese would react if Gaddong knew her grandmother’s real name.

****

After that, I was hot and it was annoying to go anywhere else, so I decided to sit in this cafe full of low-level evil spirits.

I wonder if it was a lie to say that this place is a cafe, and they also sell simple snacks starting from the menu.

It tasted so good that I couldn’t believe it was sold in this demon-infested cafe.

It was especially strange to see that the boss of the cafe, who prepares everything by himself without part-time students, has a ferocious appearance that can be said to go away from gangsters.

Looking at his appearance, it wouldn’t be strange to grind a human skull instead of a pea.

Ah, this is not the time to think about things. I sat down and got my money. I smiled and said in order to pay for the money properly.

“ㅡ So what are you talking about? Since you paid the price, I will sincerely listen to you. And don’t worry. No matter what you say, I will definitely keep your secret.”

“Oh, yes. When you suddenly say something respectful…… It’s awkward.”

You even gave me money, but then you are a customer. I shrugged and

If it was an important story, the owner of the cafe asked with her eyes if it was okay to listen to it, but she replied that it was okay.

Let’s see, so what is the 1 million won consultation? I slightly opened my ears and waited for the main character to say something.

No matter how well the exorcist makes money, isn’t it abnormal to pay 1 million won for just one conversation?

Are you worried about Wooshin as you initially expected? Or something else?

The main character, Naeul, will pay me money to talk about it. I can’t help but wonder

I waited for the main character to open his mouth while drinking an iced americano that came out slowly. After a bit of waiting, the heroine began to open her mouth.

“I…… There is something I want to request, so I asked for a conversation like this.”

“Request?”

A request. These were words I never thought would come out of the main character’s mouth again.

A commission is when you pay someone else to do something that is usually difficult or impossible for you to do yourself. A protagonist who is no one else?

“That kid from a moment ago… …. I would like to ask for Jia’s protection. That child is now cursed by an evil spirit…… Yo. This. You never know when or how you will be targeted.”

The main character stuttered and began to speak her words nervously. Unexpected words.

I had already expected that the main character was protecting the child, but there was nothing worth requesting about it.

I don’t know if it’s a request to deal with the evil spirit that is targeting that child, but ‘protection’?

“Have you been blessed by a divine spirit, but from an evil spirit? YouTube says that even evil spirits can’t touch it.”

“Yes. Jia herself is not touched by evil spirits. Instead…… The evil spirit targeting Jia is kiIIing her acquaintances. Although she thought it was simply an outburst.”

“I realized after seeing Jia’s reaction today. If the evil spirit continues to kiII her friends around her, she will not be able to bear it and will give up her blessing. She asked me not to kiII her friends anymore…….”

“Aha. That’s why it was floating down the river today. I didn’t want to harm the people around me anymore, so I ran away recklessly and fell into the Han River. As a bonus, I don’t trust you. Idiot.”

Well, if you’re a kid who looks younger than the main character, you can think such a stupid thing.

As proof of that, I’ll cite as evidence my younger brother chewed rubber to say he wanted to eat ramen when he was in elementary school.

Or maybe he’s just an asshole.

“Let’s see. Put simply, is this? He’s scared because people he knows are dying. Being in an orphanage is-“

“Abandoned by parents or lost to an evil spirit, it is highly likely the latter- Are you saying that the child is throwing away rational judgment and running amok like a dog on fire because of trauma?”

“…… Yes.”

“Then it’s simple. You have to deal with that evil spirit first. If you’re A-ranked, it’s about the level of an evil spirit, no problem…… No, you’re asking me because there’s a reason you can’t move right away.”

“The blessed child is absolutely safe. So, conversely, the rank was pushed back. The demons are running rampant right now for you to hunt demons at will.”

Watching the main character respond with her silence, I realized why she was trying to spend money instead of dealing with it alone.

At the same time, I felt that one of her misconceptions about the main character was corrected.

The main character in me is a person who solves all the problems in front of me by himself, solves everything well, and achieves what he wants.

As I squeezed into the world in this game, the strength and opportunity to gather only with the main character reached me.

Wooshin. If the little boy followed the main character as it was in the game, the main character would have grown in strength and interest.

Even if you insist on taking care of an evil spirit targeting a blessed child, the academy or exorcism office must have grown so big that you wouldn’t dare touch it.

An exorcist cared about by two spirits is working, but who can stop it?

But right now Wooshin is following me, sleeping in the ruins I’m using as a lodging.

The story has changed because of me, and the main character has become a being who cannot solve everything alone.

Once I realized this, I felt very strange. Rather than a sense of guilt or guilt, it was closer to the realization that the main character is also human after all.

“So that’s all you want to say?”

“Yes.”

“Then thank you for the 1 million won. By the way, the request is rejected. No matter how much money you give.”

“Yes?!”

Enlightenment is enlightenment. Accepting this request would only waste time.

If the request that the main character, Ei said, was to deal with the evil spirit targeting the child, the quest window would be quiet, and he would have accepted it.

However, the main character asked to protect a child named Zai. The main character wants to end the evil spirit with his own hands. You will succeed with a high probability.

It would have been different if she said that her life was in danger right away, but why should I spend my time on a child who is safe because she is blessed by a divine spirit?

Trying to throw away the blessings of the divine spirits? Then, that bastard is dying because of his stomach, what should I do?

Meeting the main character, receiving divine blessings, meeting good parents, and kicking that would be suicide.

“Have you ever run out of money? No, money alone isn’t enough, right? That, then We can help you with something else! Actually, my friend, Tree-eared is not just an exorcist-“

“A divine spirit? Know. Even in the ruins I live in, a spirit is sleeping well right now.”

“Ah.”

The main character hurriedly rolled his eyes as if he wanted to ask me for a request somehow, as if he was looking for something to say, but he didn’t have any more cards.

What if they don’t accept no matter how much money they give?

I asked the main character out of pure curiosity while chewing ice in my coffee and rolling my eyes.

“But you want to protect him. Or do you want to kiII that demon? To be honest, you’re probably more expert than I am, but if you say you’re going to do both by yourself, that’s a pain in the ass.”

Ah, is it ambiguous to even call it a question? If you’re a little busy and you’re going to have someone else do the work, wouldn’t it be better to do it more efficiently? It was close to saying something like that.

A kid is worried and trying to protect it? Good night. I also want to protect you, so I understand why you want to protect someone.

Are you angry that the kid’s acquaintances were murdered and try to slay the demon? Good night. It’s stupid, but it’s a determination like a good person.

It’s not difficult if you look at it separately. Can one person handle these two? That’s hard The exorcist is not a cartoon hero.

That’s why if you really want to protect that child, you should act rationally.

He said he was safe now. If you’re asking me because you can’t move, wouldn’t it be better to ask me to deal with the evil spirit instead of protecting you?

As a person who works for money, I can say anything is good. I am saying this because I am not going to accept it.

Now I realize that he is not a person who can do everything alone.

I could only see that he was in a hurry with the thought that he had to do it himself.

Or do you have other reasons to ask me for protection?

I rested my chin on the table and waited for an answer. The main character opened his mouth as he was stabbed in the back of the head on the way.

However, he remained silent for a while, staring at the drinking cup in front of his eyes for a while, then spitting out words.

“…… I wanted to kiII the evil spirit that made her unhappy with my own hands. I am angry because the unreasonable death is so resentful. Whatever happens, it doesn’t work out, and I don’t know if my thoughts are right.”

“The more I see Exorcist Lee Joon, the more I realize my shortcomings……. Originally, I was just lacking. Still, I’m not alone like this, so I’m here. Therefore… ….”

As if realizing something, the atmosphere surrounding the main character changed as his eyes shone brightly.

A little while ago, he had a tired face after being cursed at by him, but suddenly he has a face that has gained strength.

It was a completely incomprehensible situation. The main character continued talking without regard for my confusion.

“Exorcist Lee Joon. Sorry. I will cancel the order. First of all, I will talk to the people who are with me again, and then make eye contact with the child and talk.”

“Uh, yes. Do.”

I didn’t intend to accept it at first, but seeing him acting as if he suddenly realized something is so absurd.

I glanced at the back of the main character as he bowed to me and left. He bought a cake at the cafe and took turns thinking.

I know that the main character is not like the main character in a novel who solves everything by himself. Even if the pods fell out of their eyes, they were in good shape.

That’s why I realized. Eiran kid has a narrow field of vision, just like people who only see one thing and rush forward like a bull.

Otherwise, there’s no way you wouldn’t even notice that an evil spirit with half the face of a cat and the other half of a normal grandmother’s face is glaring at you near the cafe.

“[ Baby, hey. This old woman needs help. Can you help me? ]”

“I can’t help, but I can attack.”

Isn’t this unfortunate encounter originally a proprietary patent for the main character? Or maybe I’m not so lucky because I’m not the main character.

I let out a sigh as I shouldered the long sword I had been holding even inside the cafe.
