I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

47 – Extra People (1)

Unfortunately, I couldn’t really test out the new perks.

My arm is also an arm.

Maybe it’s the king’s perk, so it distinguishes between enemies and allies.

Because

Judged the enemy/ally as ‘affiliation’ in the status window.

[Do you want to declare the kingdom?]

[Declare your country name!]

… However, making a kingdom right away is a bit ambiguous.

Perhaps it’s after going to the waiting room and declaring the kingdom to properly check the perks.

After thinking that far, I told the people who were curious about the situation.

Of course, except for important information like occupation.

As a result, I was told that there was a trial of the king, and that the kingdom could now be declared.

Most of them were more interested in the Kingdom than in the trials that were not their business.

“Did you say kingdom?”

“Yes, basically it seems to be used to determine affiliation.”

“mmm. Belonging to you.”

“Have you decided on a name?”

“I’m thinking about it now.”

The climbers, who had become quite close after passing the war together, started talking naturally.

“If that’s the case, isn’t there going to be a gang fight between the kings later?”

“…There is a possibility.”

“War is a bit much now…”

Because I am quietly listening to the opinions that come one after another.

Suddenly.

… It’s like waiting for everything to end.

[An additional portal to the waiting room on the 2nd floor is created.]

A notice appeared before my eyes.

[Power will be forcibly moved after 3 minutes.]

[Time remaining ＞ 2 Minutes 59 seconds]

“…Something is blatant.”

“That’s right.”

They kicked me out like this as soon as I finished what I had to do.

If the tower I knew would have announced the time much earlier….

What the hell is this?

I’m about to go outside to figure out the situation.

“!”

… The portal that appeared openly in front of the door caught my eye.

We would have entered the portal helplessly if it hadn’t been for the green arm that appeared from the side.

‘This isn’t even a trap.’

To us who were surprised, the owner of the green arm—Haktan spoke to us.

“You came out sooner than I thought, brother.”

“What kind of situation is this?”

“…Sorry. I made a fuss upstairs telling me to hurry up.”

Damn the dwarf——he muttered and continued his explanation.

“I tried to take my time, but it was no longer the limit.”

“Time…?”

“I couldn’t transfer the ticket because my brother passed out.”

Let me inadvertently make a sound as if wondering.

Haktan explained.

“…If you move on to the 2nd floor, the special dungeon ticket on the 1st floor will lose its effect.”

“Huh.”

“It’s a relief that you cleared the special dungeon quickly.”

Did that almost happen?

“…Thanks Haktan.”

“What, compared to what the brothers did, it’s a far short reward.”

“…As expected, I don’t know how the orcs calculate.”

“Khehehehe.”

Once I knew Haktan was trying to help us.

“Anyway, I’ll be leaving soon, right?”

“….”

[Time remaining ＞ 1 Minute 32 seconds]

“…Yes.”

“Brothers will do well on the next floor.”

“Thank you.”

“Of course, my brother’s men will do just fine.”

… It would have been a very warm virtue if the words behind it hadn’t continued.

“But that doesn’t mean the next layer will be easy.”

“As much as the goal the tower was built on is absurd—.”

“Because the goals the tower demands of the survivors are outrageous.”

I was speechless for a moment at those words, which seemed to hint at a troubled future.

“So always be vigilant brother. Trouble is always out of sight.”

… The advice that followed was somehow meaningful.

“Remember.”

“I look forward to seeing you again next time!”

“…Me too.”

After answering Haktan, who laughed cheerfully.

[Time remaining ＞ 10 Seconds]

I prepared for the soon-to-be parting.

… Still, I was going to say hello to the orcs.

I never thought I would be kicked out so suddenly.

“Brother.”

“Hmm?”

“Give regards to Hagtun and Shuhog.”

“Huh—I got it.”

It’s a pity that I couldn’t say hello to you two in person.

Those last thoughts.

[Go to the waiting room on the 2nd floor.]

We were devoured by a portal that suddenly grew up.

* * *

Watching a brother who was sucked into a portal.

I quietly closed and opened my eyes.

Then the scenery of my hometown that I missed is nowhere to be found.

The walls look as if they were made by growing trees and the ‘managers’ on each floor caught my eye.

‘… Is it over?’

“Where’s the dwarf on the second floor?”

“I went to manage my floor.”

“Tsk.”

You can’t even show your face after expressing your annoyance like that.

Still, he wasn’t that angry.

Because they were originally from that kind of family.

Rather, the rough side.

… It was Gabriel, that azure-haired angel who appeared before he knew it.

“What are you here for?”

“You’ll have to explain your abuse of administrative privileges. Haktan.”

“Hmm.”

Is it still like that?

“I just made sure the challenger got a fair reward.”

“Adjustment of dangerous items that could not be included in the original reward, inducing the transfer of admission tickets subtly, and preventing people from moving to the waiting room at the scheduled time.”

When I saw Gabriel pointing out each one, I suddenly burst into laughter.

“Gabriel, do angels have no parents?”

“…?”

“If it wasn’t like this…”

As if slightly incomprehensible, I brushed his hair and continued talking.

“I don’t think you’re going to come to me directly.”

An angel who couldn’t understand the situation due to the sudden verbal abuse.

“After the ordeal, he did not give his brother the reward he should have given, and even after giving it, he intervened at the end.”

“…That was because I smelled a terrible stench from those three.”

“It stinks.”

Certainly, the senses of a transcendental being of the order of an angel cannot be ignored.

If you felt such a definite disgust, you’d have to assume there was something.

However.

“So—I checked, but I know I couldn’t find any problems.”

“…That part has already been talked about.”

“Yes. I also finished talking to them when I was in charge of the first floor manager.”

A growl comes out naturally.

“In exchange for managing the first floor, I will receive the management of my hometown—my world.”

– Tuouk.

As soon as I squeezed the air, I was caught in the hand of a soldier, a mountain range destroyer.

“So don’t try to interfere with what happened on the first floor.”

You threaten by burning the soul of a warrior that has been burning for a long time.

“You—

– Pot.

As always, an angel with a burning body appeared in an instant, grabbed Gabriel, and disappeared.

‘Tsk.’

After the angel left.

“…It’s futile.”

“hahahaha, by the way, I guess you liked this challenger quite a bit?”

“Isn’t it rare to take care of this much?”

“Very little.”

At least the two are close.

The manager with long ears and the manager of a species that resembled a brother came to talk.

“There have been very few challengers who have solved the first floor properly.”

“Wasn’t there just two of you this time?”

“Oh, really? I’ve only seen one.”

“Yeah…it was two.”

However, if the brothers directly collided with each other and achieved it through trial and error.

On the other hand….

“How was the other side?”

“…It was strange.”

“Wonderful?”

“It’s like… it was like knowing the answer and moving.”

Without twists and turns, as if it should have been.

The brothers also had quite competent scouts.

I couldn’t always come up with a model answer.

They were different.

… Rather, I didn’t like that part.

“I wasn’t a warrior, I wasn’t trying, and above all, I was suspicious.”

Is that the feeling of a terrible stench that a stupid angel smelled of?

‘… It’s a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of ‘

A group of brothers designated by an angel.

The suspicious group you pointed out.

The brothers said there was no problem, but there were never two such groups.

‘… Something is happening in the tower.’

Having such a premonition, I prayed that the brothers would do well.

* * *

I was swallowed up by a portal, but this time I didn’t lose my mind.

I opened my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them, we were standing in a plaza.

My arm was moving before I knew it.

I suppressed a strange sense of liberation and looked around.

Many portals that looked just like the ones we came out of were opened, and people were running out of them.

‘… Are you running?’

The people who came through the portal as if they were being chased were expressing their joy at being alive.

As if you were on the battlefield with the corrupters just a moment ago.

‘… We had a good rest after the war was over a long time ago.”

Anyway, the arrival time in the waiting room on the second floor seems to have been set the same.

It’s strange to be surprised at manipulating time when there are also regressors.

… That won’t be an easy task.

I could see why the manager above was so upset.

There were about 20 portals in total.

Mostly there were only one or two survivors.

There were places where even that didn’t come out… But

Many survivors poured out from only one poisonous portal.

Around 30 people.

If that’s the case, almost everyone has survived since the ordeal….

‘There might be a strong climber, so I’ll have to be careful.’

“…Everyone, prepare for unexpected situations.”

A battle could happen, so I’m telling you to stay quiet and keep your tension low.

– Cheerit.

I felt a strong gaze from somewhere.

This time, the rank of the Sensitive Sense skill went up, and the more sensitive senses sent a warning.

… The gaze is so blatant.

What is it?

I can’t remember where I did anything to earn a grudge.

Looking at the gaze staying here for a long time, it’s not just a simple reconnaissance….

I wonder where the hell it is, so I search for the source of that gaze.

… Earlier, it was the direction of the team that I thought I should pay attention to.

Amid the growing sense of incongruity.

– Turbuck.

Someone from the group walked out.
