The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

400 – Scene 400# D-Day

*

It was simply a coincidence that Choi Jae-man met that man. I don’t remember exactly, but it was a day when I stopped by the company early in the morning because I had important business to do. Normally, I would have ordered it from a secretary or subordinate, but that day was Sunday. It was a once-a-year situation for him to go to work early in the morning on the weekend.

Choi Jae-man, who arrived at the company in frustration, soon witnessed a strange sight. Because a man was asleep in a dark office wearing headgear.

At first he thought he was homeless or a vagabond. Because he had a messy beard, thick hair, and shabby clothes. If he hadn’t had his employee ID hanging proudly around his neck, he would have reported it to the police.

-Hey.

-… Hmm?

The man, who had woken up to Choi Jae-man’s voice, woke up and took off his headgear.

-You… What are you doing here now?

-Who… ?

-Director Choi Jae-man.

-Oh, yes. I see… As you can see, he was sleeping just a moment ago.

The man was probably still half asleep when he answered indifferently when he heard the title of director. Why are there all these guys? Choi Jae-man read the name written on the man’s employee ID card.

-Hey. Employee Jeong Ji-hwan… Are you asking because I don’t know that now? They’re asking why I’m sleeping at work on Sunday.

-Because of overtime…

-kk…

Choi Jae-man had seen these types of employees before. If you work overtime until the weekend because you are not comfortable with the work. Or, if you are so passionate about your work that you stick to it until the weekend. Perhaps this man seemed closer to the former than the latter.

No matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t sense Jeong Ji-hwan’s passion for work.

-That’s it. Don’t stay here like this. Go in.

-No… Now I have to work.

-… ? Working?

-Yes.

Jeong Ji-hwan tried to put on the headgear as if he was used to it. Now I see that he didn’t fall asleep using the headgear as an eye patch, but rather he fell asleep while working with the headgear on.

-For a moment! Are you still half asleep? I would have said today is Sunday.

-Yes. I know. There’s still a lot to test…

-Come and do it tomorrow. Even if I worked today, they wouldn’t even give me overtime pay. Don’t think about earning even a penny more…

-Oh, I already exceeded that amount.

-What?

-But it’s okay if you don’t receive overtime pay. Just ask them to do the work.

-What is that…

-Then, director. I will start working again.

Ji-hwan Jeong speaks calmly with a face full of dark circles, probably familiar with questions like these. Jaeman Choi, who saw this, seriously doubted whether he was a passionate employee or a game addict. However, I felt no passion or desire from him.

Jeong Ji-hwan looked exhausted. With all his aspirations burned away, all that remains is an unknown sense of duty. He seemed like a person who was doing this with the feeling of grasping at straws.

Choi Jae-man muttered as he watched Jeong Ji-hwan turn on the headgear and prepare for work.

-I don’t understand. Is there any reason to be so hung up on something that doesn’t make any money?

-… I can’t help it.

Although he didn’t expect an answer, Jeong Ji-hwan put a headgear on his head and gave an incomprehensible answer.

-My younger brother might be here.

“I may not have an appetite, but please eat this.”

“… What do you plan to do with me now?”

In the corner of the cold detention room, Choi Jae-man opened his mouth.

“… Are you planning to kill me?”

“If that were the case, I would have killed him a long time ago.”

Park Se-hee pushed the tray containing her soup and bread under her iron bars. Choi Jae-man muttered without even looking at it.

“Haha… Okay. But… Because you and I are both destined to die anyway…”

Jeong Ji-hwan said that after being possessed by Tristan, he lived a year that repeated itself forever. According to him, this world has already been destroyed several times. It is said that he tried to stop it at all costs, but he failed every time.

Choi Jae-man didn’t want to believe everything.

The fact that Tristan is actually Jeong Ji-hwan. The fact that this world will be destroyed by the hands of players. However, the futures Jeong Ji-hwan told us were too vivid and terrible to be considered lies.

Not long ago, this would have been a stranger’s story, but for Choi Jae-man, who was forced to become a resident of another world, it is no longer a stranger’s story. The end of this world will be his death. What Jeong Ji-hwan told us was Choi Jae-man’s future, which could not be ignored or denied. It was an inevitable fate.

In the end, Choi Jae-man despaired. Even after Tristan left, he was curled up in the detention room like a soulless man.

Anyone who finds out that the end of the world has come has no choice but to do that. Seeing his helpless appearance, Park Se-hee sighed.

“Don’t be discouraged because it’s not like you.”

“We are wrong now… ” .”

Choi Jae-man held his head. If he could turn back time, he wouldn’t have betrayed CEO Park Jun-hyuk… He wouldn’t have thought of taking over Milky Way’s system…

‘Why did I do that… ? .’

This is a fact that can be seen if you think about it a little. CEO Park Joon-hyuk is a person with an unrivaled genius brain who created Milky Way on his own. Not only did he experiment on innocent people with the Remina Project, but he also possessed Jeong Ji-hwan as Tristan a year ago. He regretted and regretted his arrogance in thinking that he could stab such a person in the back.

But no matter how much you regret, it is already too late.

“This world is over… Now I just have to wait for the day I die…”

“We don’t know that yet.”

“… How are you so calm? “Aren’t you afraid?”

“I’m scared too. But Ji-hwan said that. “The future can change.”

“Under… “We have failed to prevent destruction over 500 times, so what difference do you think this time will make?”

“Yes.”

“… ?”

Choi Jae-man raised his head.

Park Se-hee was neither anxious nor afraid. He just looked calm.

“People like you may not understand, but I think Ji-hwan can change the future.”

“On what basis… ?”

“I trust Ji-hwan.”

“Huh?”

“Ah, to be exact, I believe in him who keeps trying to change the future even though he has failed over 500 times. I believe in his hard work and his grit. “If there is anyone who can change the future, I think it is Ji-hwan.”

I laughed out loud. I was confident with just faith.

“That sounds like a step back…”

“That’s right.”

Whether Choi Jae-man believed it or not, Park Se-hee didn’t seem to care. He didn’t say anything and just shrugged his shoulders. It was a strange confidence. To Choi Jae-man, trusting and believing in someone was an emotion that he really did not understand, so he may have felt that way even more.

When I saw Park Se-hee, I suddenly became curious.

“Jeong Ji-hwan… What does he plan to do from now on?”

“Well… “I don’t know much, but I think I know what Ji-hwan is thinking right now.”

“… ?”

She spoke with confidence.

“I’m sure I won’t give up this time either.”

*

“… Are you really planning on following me?”

“Of course.”

Today marks exactly one year since I was possessed. I stopped by the stables in the mansion before the sun rose. And as expected, Helga, who had been watching my every move, was waiting for me.

“Before I was the count’s loyal wife, I was a bodyguard.”

“I’m telling you this, but we’re not married yet.”

“No way. At heart, I am already a married woman with four children.”

“…”

“Oh, by the way, the fourth is the son the Count has been waiting for so long.”

I ended up learning information I didn’t really want to know. I felt like the story was going somewhere else, so I tried to ignore it and asked.

“… So you want to know where I’m going and follow me?”

“No? Shouldn’t I just follow wherever the Count goes?”

“What if I order you to stay?”

“Hmm. “I can’t follow orders like that.”

“It’s not that I have no intention of following… ?”

“Hehe… Well, you get a reward for disobeying an order once… No, you just get punished once.”

“… The place I will go today may be a very dangerous place. That’s why I’m planning to go alone.”

“Then I can’t let the Count go alone.”

“You could die.”

The place I will go from now on is no different from a dead place. A battlefield where not only my life but also the lives of those accompanying me can be in danger.

But Helga nodded her head as if it was no big deal.

“Yes. “I know.”

“I know… ?”

“When the Count goes somewhere alone without me or others knowing, it’s because he’s going to do something dangerous. At the same time, you are hoping that others will not be caught up in such danger.”

It was the perfect answer. Helga didn’t know what I was going to do, but she had a vague sense of the danger of what I was about to do. Even though she knew that, she stayed by my side all along.

“Hehe… Do not worry. Count. Have you forgotten who I am? The vice-captain of Aslan, the empire’s strongest knight, and the one who defeated the head of the Ulfbert family. “Who would dare stop me like this?”

“Helga. No matter how much you die, it’s over.”

“Do you think I’m going to die because you killed me?”

“… ?”

“You didn’t think I was going to die because my heart was pierced, right?”

“What is that…”

Before I had time to stop him, Helga suddenly fell into my arms.

“Even if I stop time, I can’t stop my feelings for the Count.”

“… No matter what, you can’t do it if time stops.”

“It’s okay because I’m stronger than time!” So please allow me to accompany you!”

It’s almost ridiculous now. In fact, even if I tried to leave alone, I had no confidence in avoiding Helga’s surveillance her, so I expected her to accompany me long ago. There’s no need to go to great lengths like this…

But Helga, who was hugging me, muttered in a low voice.

“I’m not afraid of anything. Even if death separates us… I’m going to visit the Count. I will never miss it.”

“…”

Her shoulders she she were shaking. She is a warrior who overcame all hardships. No one will be able to scare her. But I know. What she fears most is that I am in danger.

“Okay. “I knew you would say that.”

I hugged Helga. It also meant allowing her to accompany him.

“Because you were by my side in my last moments.”

“… Yes?”

“It’s nothing.”

I climbed onto the horse that Helga had prepared in advance.

“If you want to follow me, I won’t stop you.”

“Hehe… Do not worry. Even if I become a ghost, I will follow the Count.”

“… In the afterlife, it would be nice to be a stranger.”

“No way. “Did you think you could escape from me in the afterlife, Count?”

Helga climbed on her horse with her characteristic humorous smile.

“But where are we going? Battleground? Or to the north to fight against monsters?”

“We are going to paradise.”

“Huh? Paradise?”

She thought of a dangerous place, but when I told her it was paradise, she seemed confused. But that comfortable paradise is now over.

I took Helga and her horse and set off for paradise.

Without knowing that there were eyes watching us through the windows of the mansion.
