EP.313 Fan Service (Personality Discharge)
*
I had never thought of myself as unhappy.
Even though no one came home, and I just sat blankly until the late-night movie started after the animation on TV ended.
Quintia was taken in by a distant relative and grew up enjoying material wealth, using the savings her father had left behind, and she awakened her talent early.
Compared to the children who had no choice but to die with their parents due to poverty, without even having the minimum choice,
Or the children who were abandoned or beaten for not having good talent and were found dead,
I thought so.
Wasn’t the loneliness forgotten thanks to the wonderful concept that adults created, “The Genius Girl Sharpening the Blade of Revenge?”
Sometimes, when the forgotten loneliness rushes in, I feel like I’m left alone in the world.
Quintia clung even more to the sword she was holding.
Once I complete this, there will be no next time.
Thinking vaguely.
“You, you. And, a kid who lost their parents at that age is just plain unlucky.”
“…….”
“Show some pity for yourself. There are tons of kids trying to get attention like that at your age, so why aren’t you…….”
……A senior I didn’t even know the name of until recently.
Sitting across from me, saying warm words.
Why did I get the feeling that he understood my ugly flaws?
“Did I just say there are tons of them?”
“Yes. What does that mean?”
“It means they’re everywhere. Wow, did Nine’s dialect flow rub off on me……? Anyway, that’s what it means.”
This person is warm.
Apart from being outwardly cool, his inner self is.
“Seridwen Evelyn is a truly reliable person. Maybe she’ll solve it before we even get there.”
“Yes.”
“We just need to review the tactics and get ready to freeload… Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
Maybe this is the first time I’ve met such a warm person among the adults who are stronger than me.
“Why are you staring at me?”
“Just because.”
Quintia smiled silently.
I can feel it from the lengthy explanation, the honest tone, and all the gestures he uses while speaking.
The warmth that he won’t give up on you or turn away from you.
It was the first warmth I had ever felt.
‘If my dad were here, would it feel like this…?’
“Here, have this. Dad.”
“……What?”
“Ah.”
Quintia stuttered and her face turned red.
Because the cooked meat was piling up, the words that came out were…….
“Do I look that old to you?”
“Slip of the tongue….”
“I’m not your dad…. I can forgive you up to calling me ‘oppa’ [an affectionate term used by younger women to address older brothers or male friends in Korean culture].”
“……’Oppa’ is a bit…. It feels like you’re being too friendly.”
“Are you trying to get close to me or not?”
I feel like I can trust this person for some reason. That’s what I think.
I want to go see Mom quickly, but…….
“You can hold on, right? Quintia.”
“Yes.”
“Promise me. Pinky swear.”
“I’m not a kid.”
This time, Senior Kim Sanghyuk awkwardly clicked his tongue.
“You’re acting like a kid. You even called me ‘Dad’ and now you’re acting coy?”
“But Mom… might be in danger….”
“I’ll save her. I will.”
“How do you know?”
“…….”
The senior had a face that he didn’t really know.
I know the reason, but I can’t tell you,
That kind of feeling……?
“Is your mom pretty?”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m asking if your mom is pretty.”
“W-Well, yes. I don’t remember well because I was young, but…. I’ve heard a lot that I look just like my mom.”
“Then it’s okay. Your mom is fine. Stay by my side unconditionally from now on. I’ll let you meet her the fastest in the world.”
“…….”
I’m making a promise for the first time.
Is there a penalty if I break it?
Thinking that, Quintia hooked her pinky with a finger that was much thicker and bigger than hers.
“It’s embarrassing to be doing this in a meat restaurant….”
“I’m embarrassed too.”
“Thumbs up.”
“……What happens if you break the promise?”
I ask, avoiding his thumb.
When I avoided his thumb, the senior had a pretty dumbfounded expression.
“Just do it.”
“I need to know the penalty for breaking the contract. I’ll get scammed.”
“Then let’s just get scolded like before.”
“Scolded….”
Flinch.
Just thinking about it makes my butt tense.
What was that…?
It’s still tingling and hot.
‘The hole that’s embarrassing to talk about’ is…….
‘…….’
What’s the secret to this senior’s skill?
Even with the same eyes as my mom, I couldn’t figure it out.
“Are you really going with me when you save Mom?”
“Yeah.”
“I’m still suspicious…….”
“My hand is starting to hurt?”
“Show me your eyes. You have the same eyes as me.”
“Hoo…….”
The senior sighed and showed his crimson eyes.
It’s a clean and clear crimson color.
…The same as Mom’s.
A much deeper crimson than mine.
‘How….’
Why does this person have crimson eyes?
I’ve never seen them except for me and Mom.
“Fingerprint authentication, iris authentication, what’s next, should I sing a song or something?”
“…….”
Quintia carefully put her thumb on his. It seemed like she spent 30 seconds just thinking about it.
During that long and boring time, Sanghyuk waited for Quintia to promise, with his pinky hooked.
Each second was precious.
When she put her thumb on his with a firm grip.
Quintia felt a little embarrassed.
“……Ah. I promised.”
“Shall we go back now?”
“Already?”
“Are you going to skip the whole afternoon class? You can’t do that. The president will scold you.”
“…….”
Looking at the analog clock on the wall of the meat restaurant, the hour hand was already moving towards 3 o’clock.
I’ve already spent more than an hour outside.
The flow of time is fast….
It was then.
“Kyaa!!”
“Monsters! Help me!”
Woo-oong. Woo-oong.
Emergency disaster messages rang out madly on the cell phones of everyone sitting in the meat restaurant, and monsters passed by near the store.
Quintia and Sanghyuk exchanged glances and immediately ran out of the meat restaurant.
The monsters rampaging outside were four-legged S-class monsters……『Seekers of the Galaxy』.
With white skin texture similar to miners, they were swallowing people with the teeth attached to their large, rotating circular heads.
The police were responding with live ammunition, but it was not enough.
At that moment.
Tung!!
Sanghyuk took out a long shotgun with a black barrel and instantly killed one of the monsters with one shot.
The aftermath of the penetrating bullet, the magic of moonlight was filled and spread around.
“I’m glad I stacked up [prepared in advance].”
“…….”
With one shot, all the monsters’ attention was focused here……!
Quintia flinched, realizing that the citizens were also looking at her.
“They’re academy students!”
“Isn’t that Quintia, Quintia?”
“We’re saved!”
“Who is she?”
“She’s the Sword Saint’s daughter!”
My head is spinning.
Even if I try to forget, I realize that my mom is gone.
I realize that Mom is still abandoned at that front door, without returning.
‘I don’t really want to save you guys.’
If I say that, will they curse me, saying that the Sword Saint’s daughter is tarnishing her mother’s face?
I’ve imagined it hundreds and thousands of times.
‘I’m not wielding my sword to save you guys.’ ……like that.
“Quintia!”
At that time, the senior shouted.
“Are you ready?”
“……Yes.”
Still, if I put this dark feeling into my sword, my heart will be a little lighter when I cut living flesh.
Others praise it as beautiful, but the inside is dark.
A sword filled with hatred.
‘I have to kill those who took Mom anyway.’
Quintia draws her sword.
Just by doing that, the air vibrated as if it was trembling.
“I’ll set it up. Go!”
Quintia runs straight ahead.
The reason why she, who is so frail, can exert such overwhelming power. It is thanks to the innate qualities inherited from her mother.
Quintia has more magic power than a magician. She turns that magic power into physical enhancement and accelerates instantaneously……!!
“Heeup!”
However, swinging a sword at a speed that is difficult for even herself to control is a very difficult skill.
If Isabella focused on inserting her fist in the shortest route to deliver the impact straight in a straight line, Quintia was different.
In order to extract absolute power with one swing, she moves at a fast speed and puts centrifugal force on the sword.
In other words, Quintia is exploding magic power at the point of impact while rotating with the sword so quickly that it cannot be seen.
From a distance, it looks like she is bursting sword strikes with an elegant dance that looks like she is drawing a picture.
This is the recipe for 『Landscape Painting Slash』,
A slash that splits space, which currently no one but the Sword Saint’s daughter can perform.
Chwaaaak!
Sanghyuk fends off all the monsters rushing in from the surroundings with tactical shooting so that Quintia can fight one-on-one.
Everyone was admiring the combo play, but Quintia felt that she still had strength left.
“Send them all over.”
“Hey! You can’t do that!!”
“Yes?”
Suddenly, the tension is completely relieved.
Uh, uh?
I handled it perfectly? What went wrong? In the eyes of Senior Sanghyuk, who is much stronger than me, it might have looked clumsy….
As soon as I thought that, I became conscious of even the things I usually did well.
Whether I’m walking properly,
Whether I’m breathing properly…. Whether I’m using magic power properly, I’m suspicious of everything.
“What’s with the inefficient handling…?”
“I’ll explain the reason later!”
The monsters are coming.
Quintia had no choice but to swing her sword, avoiding the vital points, as Sanghyuk requested.
I couldn’t even take out the ultimate move I had prepared, Six-Island Lightning…….
I’m cutting off only the limbs and organizing them.
“Kee-eck!”
“Kkeuek!”
Because I didn’t handle them cleanly, Senior Sanghyuk jumped towards them as they fell over, screaming strangely.
“Personality Discharge Spear!!!”
A complex personality discharge technique using speed and inertia!!
“Kuek!”
Byureureureureuk!!
The injured monster helplessly poured out jelly.
Flintch.
Quintia was stunned to see the monster pouring out a huge jelly.
‘D-Did I get hit by that…?’
Personality discharge.
I am lost in the face of such a violent sight.
The sight of the monster collapsing while splattering its precious personality jelly was bizarre and grotesque.
“Become an Onahole….”
Seeing that, Quintia was worried about the reaction of the citizens. I wondered if we were being treated like villains, and the moment I turned around.
Everyone shouted!
“It’s Onahole Man!!”
“Save me. Onahole Man!”
“It’s a personality discharge hero!”
“It’s Jelly Man!”
Three nicknames!!
Onahole Man’s legendary fancam was being filmed on the citizens’ smartphones right now….
Is it okay that it’s being preserved as a video?
I’m going to get roasted by reporters later….
“The head of the household has to make money…….”
“S-Senior?”
“Personality Discharge Calf Kick!! Personality Discharge Stomping!!”
“…….”
Quintia shuddered as she watched the crazy performance of personally knocking down the injured monster with strikes and making it spew jelly.
‘He deliberately leaves them alive… and hones his skills……?’
I’ve always only thought about killing them cleanly….
Is this the identity of the senior’s 『Invisible Strength』……!!?
“Personality discharge, heueh!!”
Sanghyuk, who has become the clown himself.
He shouts personality discharge in the middle of downtown where jelly is pouring out.
“Personality discharge man!! Save me!”
“Discharge punch! Discharge punch!”
“Wow!!”
“Do you want to get a belly punch fan service when it’s over?”
“Wow, there are so many monsters. They’re the type that came out on TV.”
There are people who don’t stop and watch the stimulating scene in front of them, even though monsters are dying in front of their eyes, pouring out blood and jelly.
It’s a form of society where safety insensitivity is extremely developed.
There are also people who don’t feel the crisis unless they face violence right in front of them.
Quintia nodded, agreeing with Sanghyuk’s strength.
She also lightly cut down the monster with a sword strike that saved her strength. With the feeling of tossing the injured monster to the senior behind her,
“Hot! Haaht!!”
“Quintia. It came dead. Be careful!”
“Yes…!”
It was a scene where Kim Sanghyuk’s new Onahole factory was operating smoothly.
