The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

391 – Scene 391# Manners

*

“… When I opened my eyes like that, we were in this world.”

“You’re right. We don’t even know what’s really going on…”

“I can’t even log out…”

I heard the whole story from the men who had been starving for several days and emptied their food. They vaguely said that they were office workers, but my eyes could not deceive me. They are programmers and hackers hired by Director Choi Jae-man to take control of Milky Way’s system. In other words, they are those who participated in Director Choi’s plan.

CEO Park punished those who tried to swallow up the company. By trapping them forever in the world they were trying to monopolize.

“Joy… Representative Park. “That crazy guy trapped us in this world when we did nothing wrong.”

Director Choi Jae-man, the mastermind behind this incident, muttered bluntly. He seemed to think I didn’t know the details and was talking as if he was the victim.

Of course, Director Choi doesn’t know that I am Jeong Ji-hwan, so it’s only natural. I don’t think they know what they were trying to do to end up like this, so they must be taking the victim position. No, now that we are actually trapped in this world by CEO Park, I think they and I may be in the same situation.

But honestly, I had no sympathy. Because I secretly tried to monopolize this world I live in. From my perspective, Representative Park and they were no different from enemies. Okay. If it weren’t for Park Se-hee, they would have been kicked out a long time ago.

“You said you were Secretary Park’s acquaintance, right? “Is there no way to return us to the world we came from?”

“I don’t know.”

“I heard there is magic in this world, but is there such a thing as magic to return to the original world?”

There’s a gate, but there’s no reason to tell them. Moreover, unlike me who possessed Tristan, they were beings who came to this world as they were. There is a good chance that you will not be able to escape from the control of the system like Michaela.

“… If you find a way, let me know. Until then, stay here calmly.”

“Is there a place to wash here? “I’m frustrated because I haven’t been able to wash for a few days.”

“Oh, me too. Please let me wash up. It would be better if you gave me new clothes.”

“…”

However, their attitude from earlier was really annoying. Not only does he not use honorifics, but he even asks for various things as if he thinks I will give him anything.

The reason can be roughly guessed. Even if they don’t say it out loud, they think of me as an NPC in a game.

Even in this situation, you still have that illusion. I burst out laughing.

It was just as I heard from Park Se-hee. Director Choi Jae-man did not seem to view us as the same human being. To put it in a good way, they are viewed as NPCs, but in a bad way, they are viewed as objects of exploitation and slaves.

Actually, if I think about it, I also lost my mind for a while when I was possessed by Tristan. Because I couldn’t accept the fact that I was trapped in this world for over a week. Moreover, it has only been a few days since they fell into this world. The reality of this world has not yet been realized.

And I wasn’t the only one putting up with their rudeness.

“I see. Count. Should we let them use the bathtub in the interrogation room?”

That’s not a bathtub, it’s for waterboarding… No, Helga already knew what she said. She was smiling, but her eyes were bloodshot. It was crazy. Fortunately, I stayed still and just endured it the whole time. It wasn’t strange even if my hand went out at any time.

I don’t think it would be good for me or Helga’s patience to accept it like this.

“Now that I think about it, I was late in introducing myself. I am Tristan. “I am Count Ruelberta, the owner of this mansion.”

When they saw my polite greeting, they were momentarily confused as they didn’t know what was going on, but then suddenly realized and got up from their seats.

“Ah, I’m Lee Sang-sik…”

“This is Kim Woo-hyun.”

“My name is Cha Tae-seok.”

“I am Choi Jae-man.”

Director Choi said without getting up, perhaps because he thought he was a superior.

“… Right. But don’t you think that since you are in the empire, have you to follow the empire’s laws?”

“Yes?”

“For example, in this country, etiquette is considered important. “I also strongly dislike people who are rude and don’t know formalities.”

“No. Even so, we don’t know the etiquette of this country… ?”

“It’s okay if you don’t know. Helga. “Can you teach me some simple manners?”

“Yes. Sure. “It’s what I hoped for.”

Helga laughs tentatively to my tune. In times like this, porridge works really well.

“Come on, everyone. The Count is not someone you can easily talk to. So he should use an honorific title when calling the Count, right? “It’s not difficult at all, right?”

“Hmm. Then Mr. Tristan?”

“Ding.”

Sigh-!!!

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, as if lightning had struck. But it wasn’t a real lightning strike.

Helga slapped the face of the man who answered that he was Mr. Tristan. Almost a full swing.

The man who was hit in the face spun two or three times in the air, then fell into the wall and then fell to the floor. Still, the man was convulsing with his nose bleeding, as if he had lost all his magic power.

Everyone was frozen by the situation that happened in an instant.

“Haha. Mr. Tristan? Have you ever been hit? Or someone stabbed his head with a knife… Oh my goodness. “I got excited for a moment without even realizing it.”

Helga, who was angry, smiled her single smile again.

“Does anyone know the answer? “I told you the hint earlier.”

“What is this!?”

“What are you doing?”

I smiled ‘proudly’ at the astonished men.

“Aren’t we teaching etiquette for those of you who don’t know etiquette?”

Although I am instilling it rather than teaching it.

Director Choi, who had been sitting until then, probably thought that they were guests who deserved to be treated well.

“This is violence! No matter how fundamental a country is, there is no way to beat people for no reason!”

“That’s right. This is not imperial law. “It’s the law of this mansion.”

“What… ?”

“Just as there are imperial laws in the empire, if you plan to stay in this mansion, you must also follow the laws of this mansion.”

Tduduk.

An ominous sound was heard from Helga’s fist

“So, who knows the answer?”

*

Leaving them alone as they began to learn about etiquette, I went to visit Park Se-hee in the room next to her. She was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. She must have been going through a hard time these past few days. Her hair was bald and her face was full of scratches.

“Ah… Ship, Count…”

Wendy was wiping Park Se-hee’s face with a wet towel.

“What is her condition?”

“The therapist said I was fine except for the accumulated fatigue…”

“Is it…”

When she heard that, she was immediately relieved. When she heard urgent news from Helga at dawn that Park Se-hee had come to her mansion, she thought she was just talking nonsense like usual. But I couldn’t believe it, but the thing in front of me was Park Se-hee herself.

She must have fallen here with her bare body and came to me with the feeling of grasping at straws.

“Eww… Ji-hwan… ?”

“Sehee unni?!”

Is it because you can hear my voice? Sehee Park opened her eyes.

“My body is not fully developed yet. Rest.”

“Are you okay…”

“I’ll help you!”

“Thank you. Wendy…”

Park Se-hee, who raised her upper body with Wendy’s help, looked haggard. She must have suffered enough to be between life and death for a few days.

“I heard the circumstances. She said don’t overexert yourself now and take a break…”

“I have something to tell Mr. Ji-hwan…”

“We can talk later.”

“No… “I have to tell you now.”

I don’t know what she was talking about, but her expression was very unusual. I thought it was an important story.

“I’m sorry, Wendy. “Can you leave her space for a moment?”

“Yes, yes!”

When Wendy hurriedly left, only the two of them were left in her room.

“So… “What do you want to say?”

“Cough… “I found Ji-hwan’s body.”

“?!”

I held my breath without realizing it. After becoming Tristan, I only assumed that it had fallen into Representative Park’s hands, but I could not find my real body his. That’s what she discovered.

Park Se-hee coughed and explained. He described in detail everything he saw, including the main body of Milky Way that he saw in the company basement that day, the people including me asleep in the hospital bed.

“Sorry… Ji-Hwan’s body was right in front of me… This is what happened…”

“… Don’t apologize. You did your best. “It would have been impossible for anyone else than you to save me in that situation.”

“But you’re resentful… There was a chance before his eyes that Ji-hwan might be able to return to his original body his his his …”

Park Se-hee hugged her knees and her body her trembled. She would have been outraged. She was alert enough to be alert, but she was left helpless by Representative Park.

“Don’t blame yourself. “I’m glad you’re safe.”

“Jihwan…”

“I was surprised when I found out something had happened to you. I was angry at the same time. “I was angry at my own helplessness in not being able to do anything to save you.”

I placed my hand on Park Se-hee’s shoulder.

“So don’t be sad. I’m rather grateful that you came here safely…”

I didn’t even get to say thank you. It was because of Tristan’s characteristics. A nasty trait of being embarrassed to express gratitude or sorry.

However, contrary to her worries, it seemed like my true feelings were conveyed to Park Se-hee.

“I really am grateful. “If Jihwan hadn’t helped us, we wouldn’t have survived.”

“… I didn’t do anything. It was entirely through your own efforts that you came this far.”

The place where she and her people were abandoned was in a forest quite far from the islands. It was a system where people lived to avoid thieves and wild animals, so getting to my safe mansion would not have been easy. Just getting here safely was something close to a miracle.

“It was a lot of hard work. For now, take a break.”

“All right…”

I decided to stay by Park Se-hee’s side until she falls asleep. Perhaps because I relaxed, I closed my eyes and fell asleep within a few minutes. After confirming that he was completely asleep, I left the room.

‘How ever…’

I was thinking about it earlier, but something was strange. Even though I heard from Park Se-hee about the whereabouts of the real body, I felt like it was someone else’s business and not my own.

Maybe I have become closer to Tristan than Ji-Hwan Jeong. Jeong Ji-hwan, who has lived for over 30 years, and who has lived as the villain Tristan for over 100 years through hundreds of regressions. It is no exaggeration to say that I am now closer to Tristan than Jeong Ji-hwan.

‘No way am I… ‘. ‘Do you not want to go back to your original body?’

Thinking like that gave me goosebumps.

Because he was satisfied with his life as Tristan, it was like giving up on his life as Jeong Ji-hwan.

But I quickly shook my head.

‘No… If that were the case, I wouldn’t even have made up my mind to save Sora.’

My heart still aches when I think of Sora. Poor little brother. My only blood relative. No matter what anyone says, I am her older brother Jeong Ji-hwan

“Tristan?”

“No. I’m not Tristan…”

“Yes?”

I was shocked when I saw the woman in front of me.

“Are you okay? Tristan?”

Bella was looking at me worriedly.

“… Okay. Okay. What’s going on?”

“No. It’s not that something is happening, I just keep standing there blankly.”

This. I guess I was too lost in thought.

“… I guess I was distracted for a moment.”

I still have a lot of work to do, but I can’t believe I’m blanking out. I tried to leave in a hurry. But Bella grabbed my arm as I tried to pass by.

“… ?”

“Tristan. Do you have a moment?”

“No.”

There was silence.

“… Huh. “He’s firm.”

“I said I didn’t have time because I didn’t have time.”

“When a lady asks if she has time, isn’t it the etiquette of a gentleman to say yes even if she doesn’t have time?”

“This is my first time hearing about etiquette.”

“Lie. “I just heard it.”

“What?”

“You just heard it from me, so it’s not the first time you’ve heard it.”

What kind of novel nonsense is this… ? After carefully examining her face, I came to a reasonable conclusion.

“… Are you Helga by any chance?”

“… “Do you think I’m a fool?”

“I was mistaken because he suddenly said something stupid.”

“Well, I wasn’t that stupid!”

Was it a joke in its own way? Bella had a blush on her face, as if she was embarrassed to even say it with her own mouth. As if she couldn’t bear it any longer, Bella grabbed my wrist.

“Oh, I don’t know! “Don’t talk nonsense, just follow me!”

“?”
