The bright yellow full moon that made it hard to look at the silhouette properly. The yellow colour felt ominous, making it felt like he would go crazy just by looking at it.
The image of the female student standing against the yellow full moon became a little blurry.
“Why didn’t you go back quickly?”
“Why didn’t you go back quickly?”
The voice coming out of her mouth sounded like the voice of the female student he often heard during library duty and the voice of an unfamiliar adult male overlapping on top of each other.
Like the noise of a broken speaker and like the noise screen of a TV with white and black mixed up, the sound and the image of the silhouette was jumbled up. By looking at it, its head started to hurt more and more as if it was going to split.
The tinnitus and dizziness that shook his head continued to grow stronger, and it became difficult for him to even stand properly. From the student’s perspective, it felt as if the female student was sending him waves that caused his headache.
“It’s really a good night.”
Then, with a faint murmur, the female student disappeared.
The student was startled at that moment, but strangely enough, he could sense where the female student had disappeared and what she was doing. The cause of the headache, which felt like his brain was being squeezed, had moved to the back of his back.
She’s holding a dagger and is trying to stab me in the heart.
The moment he felt it, the student rolled forward.
With the fierce sound of wind being cut through, the student’s uniform was torn vertically. If he had been a little late, he would have suffered a wound that exposed his bone.
“Wow. How did you avoid that?”
At that moment, the tired student saw her clapping her other hand that was holding the dagger with her other hands as she exclaimed.
The student held his heart that was starting to beat like crazy from the tension, and kicked the ground before running into the alley.
Soft lighting that didn’t hurt his eyes as well as the air filled with warmth.
I was laying in the sauna after coming out of the bathhouse when a Golden Reaper came over and grabbed my little finger and started pulling it.
The Golden Reaper called me with an excited expression, sending will that it had something to show me.
It didn’t look anxious, but rather very excited.
Did it find something interesting?
These days, the Golden Reapers keep playing with swords, so the possibility of them making such a discovery would be low…
I followed the Golden Reaper who was walking ahead of me.. The place I arrived at was the backyard where the Golden Reapers always gathered and played. It was a place where they were always frolicking noisily, but now all of them were just gathered in a circle in silence.
How could they be so quiet?!
It was a rare thing for the Golden Reapers who always enjoyed everything in the world. In the center of those Golden Reapers, four Golden Reapers stood proudly. They were holding a short stick in their hand that looked like a sword, but it looked too short to be a sword.
As soon as I arrived, the competition to select five warriors from the Golden Reapers ended, and the Golden Reapers clapped their hands and finally looked happy.
Was that why they were suddenly playing with swords?
I was watching the Golden Reapers’ awards ceremony as if I was watching an awards ceremony that I wasn’t really interested in, but the Golden Reapers’ awards ceremony was shorter and more intense than I thought.
They raised their short sticks high into the sky, and the Golden Reapers simultaneously expressed their will.
Then, just like when the Golden Reapers emit beams after receiving sunlight, the firewood flowed into the stick and it began to emit a brilliant light.
I opened my mouth slightly in amazement.
Although they all had the same lightsaber, each lightsaber had a different blade shape, as if their individuality appeared on the sword. They all held swords of different shapes, but the emotions contained within them were all the same.
The Golden Reapers’ happiness and boundless affection for humans.
Perhaps even if they swung that human-loving sword at a human, the human wouldn’t get hurt at all.
By the way, I’m jealous.
Could the Golden Reapers make something like that?
While I was wondering what kind of plot I should hatch to steal the lightsaber, a Golden Reaper handed me something wrapped in cloth.
As if they had been aiming to hand it to me from the beginning, the other Golden Reapers looked at me with sparkling eyes.
When I touched it, the hidden item inside the cloth seemed to be a short stick that could fit in my hand.
When I lifted the cloth, there was a sword handle that looked like a large version of the sword that the Golden Reaper was holding.
Wow, is that a gift for me?
I was so touched by the Golden Reapers’ surprise gift that I started hugging and patting the Golden Reapers gathered in the backyard.
In fact, I was a little worried that they would try to steal the sword. But since it hadn’t been taken yet, I guess it’s safe.
While I was rolling around with the Golden Reapers in the backyard, I suddenly felt uneasy.
Since I can’t shoot a beam, then maybe I can’t make a sword?
Suddenly, I felt so scared that I jumped up in my seat and took out my lightsaber.
Then, I let out my will just like the Golden Reaper did.
There was no response.
But there was something a little strange.
What does saying Light! have to do with moving the firewood?
Maybe that, Light! was just the Golden Reaper’s way of doing it?
I started to push the firewood into the handle like how I did when I treated the Mini Reaper.
Then, a blazing yellow sword rose into the sky. It was high enough to touch the sky.
The Golden Reapers opened their eyes wide and kept exclaiming ‘Amazing!’ as they watched me.
Hehe, I got a lightsaber!
Actually, it wasn’t that special compared to things like space slicing, but the fact that it was a ‘lightsaber’ alone made it worth it.
But just as I was excited about swinging my cool lightsaber, an ominous sound could be heard from the handle.
It sounded like something made of wood was cracking.
I was startled and retrieved the firewood.
And when I checked, the handle, which had been smooth, had a lot of small cracks.
It could be used if I was careful, but it looked like it needed repairs.
When I asked the Golden Reapers, they tilted their heads and said…
I don’t know! We have to ask.
So it wasn’t a sword made by the Golden Reapers?
The tired looking student just ran, ran, and kept running.
The student bravely threw himself to the ground, avoiding the sharp dagger that was slashing down vertically. The dagger made an unpleasant sound like metal scraping stone, and it soon deeply embedded into the concrete ground.
The power behind it wasn’t a force that a human could exert.
The student’s mind was complicated as he continued to run away.
Just what? Was the female student he had been organizing the library with the serial killer?
But for some reason, the student didn’t think it would be that simple.
It must have something to do with Object.
Perhaps the headache that helped the student avoid the attacks was also related to Object.
He ran until his breath was on his throat, but the killer’s breathing was still even. The sharp dagger flew again at the student who staggered forward. This time, the student swung a trash can in the alley to block the dagger.
The dagger pierced the metal trash can with the sound of a thin sheet of iron being pierced. Looking at it, the murderer couldn’t even hide his surprise.
“You blocked it again? How can you keep blocking my attack?”
It was definitely an attack with a power and speed that humans couldn’t see or block. If the headache hadn’t told him the direction and location, he would never have been able to block it.
“But you can’t keep running away like that.”
The student struggled to survive, running through the winding alleys as much as possible.
The murderer moved strangely fast in a straight line, so he had to escape through the most complicated path possible.
For some reason, he thought that the golden presence he had seen in the morning and evening and seemed friendly was his last hope.
Maybe it was an Object that tempted people, so he could have encountered an even more dangerous situation, but that was the only hope he had left.
“Don’t tell me, are you looking for a Golden Reaper?”
The killer, who had been laughing as if it was really funny, suddenly wiped away his laughter and spoke in a growling voice.
“No matter how great and strong they were, they will not be able to escape under the moonlight of madness!”
The killer stroked the moonlight with his fingers as if he could touch it with his hands, and made an ecstatic expression.
It felt like his lungs were burning. He had been running for so long that his legs folded on their own. His muscles had lost their strength. He tried to force himself to run forward, but his legs gave out and he fell to the ground.
The trash and glass bottles in the alley were scattered around, making a loud noise.
At that moment, a soft voice rang in the ears of the struggling student.
At that moment, a cold yet extremely hot blade slashed into the back of the student who had fallen to the floor. Then, hot liquid flowed out ceaselessly from his back.
The murderer turned the student over and raised the knife to cut her throat.
Although there was so much blood splattering, not a single drop of blood was on the female student’s body.
The trajectory of the blade was clearly visible in his blurry vision.
And as if overlapping that trajectory, golden sunlight poured down from the sky.
A beautiful golden trajectory covered the student’s vision.
A light so bright that it was hard for him to open his eyes flashed, and then it disappeared in an instant.
Then, the long, maze-like alley turned into a short alley less than 30 meters long. The yellow, ominous moonlight disappeared, and a soft gray light was shining down on the alley. At the same time, there was a delicious, yet warm, scent like the sun.
When the student raised his upper body from the collapsed state, he saw it.
There was a golden Object holding a sword shining brightly in gold and looking up at the student. The golden Object looked around with a stiff expression as if there was something it didn’t like.
As soon as the golden Object met the student’s eyes, it smiled brightly as if telling him not to worry.
