Stuck in The Tower

Episode 680 One Shot!

To us, a trio that looks like they have something to do with Teijun.

I said it wasn’t a good relationship, but I didn’t expect it to come right away.

That’s right too.

‘You have quite the eye to see.’

We are not the only ones here.

Several other wanderers are also gathered.

Among them, there will be strong people who cannot do anything about it.

It’s just a day.

Will people who have gathered to spend the night aid and abet a fight?

‘Nobody in their right mind would do that.’

If you create an atmosphere where it’s okay to make a fuss, others might do the same.

Even if that’s not the case, it’s still unpleasant to see.

Maybe the monsters would hear the commotion and come.

Even small sounds spread far at night.

“why? Do you want to get a knife stuck in your back like last time? “I heard you cry a lot.”

Well, looking at what Teijun is doing, I don’t think it will end well.

A guy who laughs and mocks.

If you look down on it, it’s the end.

I knew it.

“ha ha ha! “What would a bastard who stabbed you while you were sleeping and ran away do?”

The other person didn’t stay still either.

Stabbed while sleeping?

That alone brings Teijun’s evaluation to the bottom.

Because you become an unreliable person.

Sure enough, the expressions on the faces of those watching with interest turn cold.

“Don’t let anyone be with you at night.”

Tuk-tuk. He even pats me on the shoulder and gives me advice.

“If you don’t mind, you can sleep with us. “You’re better than that guy, right?”

oh. Even consideration.

“Is that enough? “The guys who got stabbed while trying to rob me?”

“Why is it yours?”

“I got it from the guy I caught, it’s mine. “Is it yours?”

“under! “How shameless of you to jump out and get caught before even distributing it!”

“huh. “I saw all the things you took without paying the bills.”

“You bastard!”

What was a bloody conversation at first has now turned into a fight mixed with yelling.

Interest disappears from the faces of the onlookers.

“What else can I say?”

“It was just a common settlement problem.”

“Tsk tsk. Those cheap things. “I paid a lot of money.”

“hey! There you kids! “It’s night and you won’t shut up!”

“If you’re going to do that, go somewhere else and be damned!”

Are disputes of this level common?

There are also people who swear and yell at people to shut up.

Active people came our way.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Why is everyone so angry! “Let’s just rest.”

It was a big furry one.

Although he didn’t trim his beard, he took good care of the clothes he was wearing.

Clothes made by adding iron plates to leather.

I glanced at it and saw that it was a group of shepherds.

“As we live, we have various ill-fated relationships, but in the end, we’ll see each other again, right?”

“Who are you, saying this and that…!”

The guy who seemed to be the leader of the three had a frown on his face.

“Hmm.”

A colleague next to him grabs the guy’s arm.

As I glance to the side, I see a group of shepherds looking this way, each holding their own weapon.

I feel an unspoken pressure to do this.

“Tsk. You made a fuss at night. let’s go.”

“ha ha ha! okay. “Thank you.”

The trio leaves and a furry dog with a big smile looks down at us.

It is quite large.

“You guys can take a break too. “This is not the first time something like this has happened.”

“I was already thinking of doing that.”

Teijun also sat down, wondering if he could ignore the pressure around him.

“Have a good night.”

With those words, the furry dog returns to the group.

Teijun, who was fuming as if he couldn’t help but feel angry, kicked a rock.

“Furry cub. “Someone intervened.”

As with the trio, they don’t seem to like the guy who intervened as if he were the leader of the group.

If it ends well, isn’t it okay?

That’s it.

“Teijun.”

“what.”

“Did you attack people in the safe zone too?”

He closes his mouth for a moment in response to my question.

He also frowned for a moment and then spoke sharply.

“why? “Can’t I do it?”

“I have no intention of saying anything.”

I have no intention of forcing my values or morals.

To begin with, I am not a morally perfect person.

‘Because this side will have its own standards.’

To put it bluntly, I also killed several people, both admirers and competitors.

Are you going to impose modern morals and laws on top of that?

No matter what, violence is not allowed, and even if the opponent has a knife, if you hit him, it is not self-defense, right?

That’s bullshit.

“If you have to do it, you do it. “It doesn’t matter what you do.”

After all, we’ve only seen each other for a day.

I’m not that lazy.

Actually, since he pointed to the trio, I thought they might have been acting together for a moment.

“Tell me more about the safe zone.”

First of all, I gave up the idea of killing NPCs in the safe zone and taking their place.

Apart from ethical issues.

‘I don’t know what kind of repercussions that will have.’

If what I did is found out, I will sleep with my feet stretched out in a safe zone.

If you want to go up to the 97th floor right away, you will have to prepare various things.

Will the people there cooperate properly?

furthermore.

‘There’s no way the process will be easy.’

If it were easy, there would be no reason for there to be so many wanderers.

There must be something I don’t know about.

“Safe zone. Safe zone! “Why can’t everyone go there and there’s such a fuss?”

The slightly annoyed guy scratches his head.

Is it puberty?

I have severe mood swings.

It’s good to get into the safe zone.

Is a safe zone a safe zone for nothing?

“I don’t even know what kind of place it is.”

Very small.

I heard the guy mumbling.

“I don’t know. sleep. Wake me up in 2 hours. Let’s change shifts every two hours.”

The guy who fed the riding lizard enters the tent.

It meant sleeping first without a top, but I didn’t touch it.

He did everything, including getting here and setting up the tent.

“Good night.”

There was no answer.

* * *

The morning dawned without any major incidents.

The time has come to choose.

Teijun is not interested in safe zones.

At first glance, there seems to be even hostility.

I have to go see Nyangfun.

Then there are two choices.

‘Three shepherds.’

The two groups are likely to go near the safe zone.

It would be a wise choice to follow them.

“It’s ambiguous.”

If you choose the former, you have to fit their schedule.

They herd sheep and goats and trade not only in safe areas but also in other villages.

This means that you never know when you will reach a safe zone.

If you choose the latter, the route will be faster.

‘You could attack someone on the way.’

It’s okay if we split up when we see a safe zone.

“You can’t do that? By the time we got together, we were already on the same team. “They won’t let go either.”

According to Teijun, it didn’t seem that simple.

Therefore.

“Let’s go to the safe zone.”

“…why me?”

I decided to just move with Teijun.

He stopped packing his bags and looked at me, as if I was dumbfounded.

“I’ll give you taxi fare.”

“I don’t know what taxi fare is. “I have no intention of going!”

“You have nowhere to go anyway. I will compensate you. “Let’s go to sleep and have a drink first.”

Naturally, I poured the potion into the guy.

There is something I felt in the tent camp last night.

‘Wanderers mostly barter.’

Moreover, basic items are being traded at high prices.

I think it might be due to the nature of moving around without any infrastructure.

As a result, the basic quality of life was low.

“Let’s eat some of this on the way.”

“lunch box?”

The guy who opened the lid opens his mouth with an expression that makes me wonder what else he is doing.

This is a lunch box made with great care.

There will be a bonfire. I showed off my skills while keeping watch.

I left it next to the fire so it’s still warm.

I see that the people here aren’t making a living.

‘It’s natural if you don’t have cooking skills.’

Hell Dying Kitchen is not famous for its catering buffet for no reason.

It’s amazing that all the members are capable of doing everything from slaughter to cooking.

in other words.

‘I’m the chef here!’

It means that it has great value.

I put my arm around the drooling guy and whispered.

“Three regular meals a day. “I’ll make dessert for you often.”

“Are you trying to bribe me with food!”

“so. no?”

“…I like soufflé cake.”

okay.

This concludes the agreement.

I held hands with the guy.

“Let’s move and talk first.”

The guy carrying the tent and other supplies climbs on the lizard.

I also rode behind.

“Shhh!”

The lizard ran through the wilderness at high speed.

Teijun was silent as he went.

Looks a little nervous.

Lower your stance and increase your speed while continuing to look at your surroundings.

“Why are you doing that?”

“It’s morning. “There may be a pursuer.”

Why is there a chaser?

There was a minor altercation with the trio, but no bloodshed.

If you were going to do it, you had to do it at night.

“If you have an accident at night, other people will notice. “Morning is different.”

-Beepeeeeek.

A flute sounded in the distance.

Is it a whistle?

Anyway, it wasn’t a good sign.

“You choose who you want to rob at night, and when it comes to daylight, you chase after them.”

“That’s a very hopeful story.”

It’s no different from each other eating each other.

Since you spent the night, are you revealing your true colors?

-Beep.

This time a whistle is heard from the other side.

The same decibel sound as before.

It is heard alternately from both sides.

A subtle vibration felt at the same time.

“I think we were targeted.”

“It must have looked quite ridiculous. “I guess I should have beaten a few people.”

I straightened my back and checked to see if anyone was following me.

It wasn’t easy to check properly because there was still a distance.

“Furry?”

“damn. Shepherds! “I’ve been feeling strong since night!”

The guy in front was so big that it was quick to figure out its identity.

No, what do you regret about those guys?

There’s no reason to have any ill feelings in the first place, right?

Last night, you pretended to be a nice person.

“What could be a reason! I just picked a guy who looks easy! Did you think that if you had sheep and supplies, you would just go your own way?”

“That too.”

Rather, since there were so many people and equipment, it would have been easier to live by robbing others.

As things turned out like this, I guess that was why I went to mediation at night.

To check how our equipment is and its condition.

Find out if there are any colleagues hiding.

“That’s shit.”

“Yes.”

I sighed softly.

Thanks to you, I understood it well.

What does the lawless area on the 96th floor feel like?

“When you go to Rome, do as the Romans do.”

“What are you talking about again! Lower your posture. Because it’s slowing down!”

Teijun screamed in frustration, but it was already too late.

Those guys have left no one guarding them and only lightly equipped ones are following them.

Already lagging behind in speed.

The number of heads is further pushed back.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before four people on each side followed.

“ha ha ha! “You’re seeing this again!”

“If you see it, get out! “Don’t talk to me!”

“It’s just the same as chestnuts.”

The furry dog that had smiled kindly narrowed its eyes.

Eyes already shining with life.

The smile disappeared from the guy’s mouth.

“catch.”

“All right!”

“Shoot!”

“Be careful not to damage anything!”

They took out their crossbows and aimed.

The tension is so great that you can feel the tension just by looking at the protests being pulled.

What are you aiming for?

-Ting!

-Peeeee!

It’s us.

A crossbow shot without hesitation.

Teijun pulled out a pistol, as if he didn’t want to be bullied, but I was faster.

“hmm?”

“Huh?”

The arrows they shot.

I caught it.

“Hehehe.”

The same goes for Deokchun.

He snatched the arrow with his tongue and palm as if he were doing a trick.

-Pudduuk.

I broke it.

Well, if you do this much, they won’t back down.

I guess we used the crossbow in the first place to avoid damaging our supplies and the lizards.

“Ac. Finely chop the eggplant. Just hit it!”

“Kill!”

From now on, it starts in earnest.

They each took out their own weapons and I also pulled out my chaos sword.

Timing to point weapons at each other.

-Taang!

Teijun’s pistol burst into flames.

A revolver with nothing special.

-Kwadangtangtang!

The furry horse that was driving the horse falls and falls.

A result that could never have come from being shot.

Everyone’s brain stopped in an unexpected situation, but I knew.

[One shot in your heart! (SSS) Lv.MAX]

-Is your heart thrilled?

-Usually, it’s like that if something goes in!

Damn bullet.

Entered the furry heart.
