Pick Me Up!

“Have your questions been answered?”

“To some extent.”

“May I speak now?”

I smiled.

It seemed they had a lot to say too. I nodded.

‘I can guess what they want to say.’

Yurnet stood up from her chair.

Nisled quickly cleared away the snacks and tea on the table. It seemed like they were about to change locations.

So, as I stood up, the location changed in an instant.

A chandelier hung from the high ceiling,

A red carpet was laid on the floor.

It was a place I had never seen before.

It must be the place Yurnet had prepared for me.

The carpet extended forward as I followed it with my gaze. On either side were giant pillars, and the walls were adorned with sculptures. I examined the sculptures.

‘Wow.’

I couldn’t help but laugh.

It depicted a fierce battle on the 80th floor, the most intense battle during Niflheimr missions.

I looked ahead.

A curtain of darkness concealed the front.

I laughed and said, “Is there a throne behind that curtain?”

“Yes.”

Yurnet replied without hesitation.

“This is a place I, no, we prepared for the Master.”

“A castle, huh.”

I laughed bitterly.

I had known it would come to this.

Parararak.

Shelves near Yurnet fluttered.

The white shelves wrapped around Yurnet’s body and transformed into clothes. On the left chest was the emblem of Niflheimr’s Conqueror, engraved in gold.

“While I’m saddened by the fact that the Master has come here, I’m also pleased. Because now I can meet you in person.”

Yurnet continued speaking.

“I believe it’s time for the Master to take a rightful seat.”

Yurnet looked at the curtain that covered the center of the hall.

The black curtain turned gray, and the shadow of a throne appeared behind the curtain.

“Master, please stay in Niflheimr.”

Yurnet knelt on one knee before me.

“Although you’ve become a hero, you’re not an ordinary existence, Master. With my assistance, you can fulfill your role adequately.”

[I will transfer all my authority.]

A system message appeared.

“You don’t have to worry about Townia. If we, Niflheimr, support it as an ally, it can still grow even without you, Master.”

“…”

[We need you, Master. Please.]

Yurnet lowered her head.

At the same time, the system was updated.

‘Yurnet (★★★★★★)’ is transferring the sub-master rights of ‘Niflheimr’.

[Accept?]

[Yes / No]

I raised my hand to the message window.

A ripple spread where my hand touched.

“I’m not the Master anymore.”

“Don’t worry. We will support you wholeheartedly.”

I stared at the message in front of me.

If I press ‘Yes,’ my affiliation will automatically change to Niflheimr. Moreover, in the absence of the Master, I could become the practical administrator of Niflheimr.

Anytng would receive a reward worth tens of thousands of gems.

That’s not all. After applying for an alliance, I could provide various forms of support. Even without me, Townia could continue to operate smoothly.

‘Is that so?’

I chuckled.

And then.

[Yes / No (Selection)]

The acceptance window disappeared.

“…Master.”

Yurnet looked at me.

Her pupils were trembling.

“Am I not enough on my own? If not, then the other four…”

“No need to call them. It would be the same.”

“If we’re lacking…”

Yurnet prostrated himself.

“If we are deficient in any way!”

“I’m the one who’s lacking.”

I shook my head.

“I’m still weak.”

“If you give me a little more time, we can…”

“I’m going back to Townia.”contemporary romance

Yurnet’s body trembled.

“Why?”

“Why are you being so stubborn? I just don’t want to take the bus.”

“Huh?”

“Just get up for now. It’s not pleasant to look at.”

Yurnet didn’t get up.

“If you don’t get up, I won’t speak.”

Yurnet reluctantly stood up.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

“It’s not because I don’t like you or dislike this place.”

If I stay in Niflheimr, I can start over in an environment that’s hundreds of times superior to Townia.

However,

“I’m not ready.”

First of all,

Niflheimr is undoubtedly powerful.

But relying solely on it will corrupt me.

The goal of climbing the Tower is temporary.

I don’t believe 100% that I can return when I reach the 100th floor.

In the end, I might end up returning with my own strength.

Secondly,

I haven’t prepared to take responsibility for them.

Accepting is easy.

But taking responsibility is a different matter. It didn’t matter when I was the Master, but now that I know their true identity and have become the same kind of being, it’s a significant change.

Lastly…

I chuckled. This was a somewhat trivial reason.

It’s hard to say that I can’t stay because I made a promise.

“Do you need an explanation?”

Yurnet lowered her eyes.

“I understand.”

“If you understand, that’s enough.”

“But I haven’t given up.”

“Hmm?”

Yurnet pursed her lips.

“Do you want to return to Earth?”

“That’s one way.”

In any case, I don’t plan to stay here.

Mobius is not my hometown.

Although there are no waiting family members, Earth is where I was born.

“If you can’t go back, what will you do?”

“…It’s a complicated issue.”

If I couldn’t go back. After reaching the 100th floor of the Tower. After defeating that guy. Even searching through different dimensions didn’t reveal a way. If that happens…

‘Well, there’s nothing I can do.’

If I can’t go back to Earth, even after resolving Townia’s problem,

then,

“I’ll do as you wish.”
