Emotion Taster

Arc 4 New Stage: Chapter 47 - Summary of Other Players

"You're coming too, Kaivan."

The voice was the first thing that greeted me. Not a warm flattery, more like a subtle insult that shows I'm late. The one who said that was Pero, the mature woman was now already a more decent outfit of my kind, a thick outfit that did fit into the forest.

I looked around when I was like that. Then, sure enough, it turns out that I am the last person here. Amalia, Pero, Imarine, Azarin, sister Dina, and even at the seceding end of Hanz who was sitting, were all gathered. They stayed here and looked at me at once, as if they had been waiting for me from the beginning.

"How long have you been here?" I asked by representing the views of the women there.

"I'm the same Amalia finished one day in that forest."

A day? Ow ....

"It turns out you could crack that puzzle. I didn't think you knew the legend" I was amazed.

"Riddle? No, I never broke the meaning of those three sentences, Kaivan."

Eh?

"Keep, how did you get out of that forest? You have the same challenge that makes you put in the forest and collect goods from the box, right?"

"Right, as you'd expect, Kaivan. Lia and I were taken to the forest. Then, there was also a monster that looked like a giant gorilla."

"Yes, there's an elephant in there too, right? So, can you take the monster to the elephant's south?" many ensure.

"Face? Me and Lia never found it?"

"uh? How did you get out of that forest?"

"After we killed the monster, we were immediately brought back to this place."

"..."

Ua ....

Back I was made to think, Pero's response said he was living something much different from me. It's true that I know that Amalia has combat power. But, I didn't expect at all that he could subvert that giant gorilla monster by himself.

Ah .. yes, maybe because his point of view is that I am without power. So, the gorilla monster looked stronger than it should be. The circumstances in which I could utilize the enemy's angry emotional waves to fight back did not apply when fighting monsters or something that did not include humans.

Heh, okay. I found a condition in which Amalia had an important role in my life.

I glanced towards Imarine and Azarin. They were standing in a corner of the room that was actually still close to us. It's just that, because of an atmosphere, they keep their distance like they don't want to interrupt a conversation. Just like Farrel, he also always keeps his distance when I communicate with others.

"Ima" called me to the big-breasted woman leaning against the wall. "Thank God you got away. But, how did you lose that monster?" then I asked him to throw up a conversation.

"Hmn ... monster, yes," said the girl repeating for a moment. "I've never met a monster."

"..."

Imarine's face was no longer happy, returning her face to the cold as usual. Not that he was hating me or anything, but that was his normal expression when talking to me. Happiness when showing the feminine side only applies when communicating with Azarin.

"I'm with Arin just one day in the forest. But, when I went to sleep, woke up I was brought here. That's all."

"Hmmn ...?"

I tilted my head, thinking back to what Imarine said with her story.

All this time there was no reason for the girl to lie to me, so it could be considered that what she said was full according to what she saw at that time. If there really was a possibility that he did not meet the monster, what did it mean that the puzzle that my team, team Imarine, and team Pero were each different?

"By the way, do you remember the content of the riddle?" I asked Imarine.

"What about that replaceable head, right? I remember, but I don't know what it means. I want to think about it until the second day, but strangely I've been brought back to sleep. Keep chatting you guys, I never met the monster either. I roamed the woods all day and it was like the woods were really empty."

"..."

There was nothing wrong with Imarine's memory. From what he explained, I also did not see any difference to the world I saw with the forest he described just now. One thing that was different was the timing when they were brought back and the absence of the gorilla monster.

All right, maybe it's still a random sample. From the case of Pero I just found out that we can solve the challenge by killing the monster, that means there are indeed various legitimate ways to win here.

I looked towards Hanz. He was still silent and sat down with the little boy who went with him. All this time I was quite curious how the combat ability Hanz had. He looked pretty great when he crippled three people at the start of the game, but I can't imagine how he fought the big monsters.

Because, what he showed at that time was a trick, not a great power. Unlike Amalia who had a knife incision to split hard stones, Hanz looks more dependent on efficient movement.

The little boy who was with Hanz had a look at me. She has a pretty face like a girl in general. But there I saw a bandaged hand.

*hide

I don't know the cause and origin of the wound. When the boy realized that I saw the bandage. He began to hide it behind his loose cloth. The dress was unique enough to make me ask, where did he get it.

Hanz gave off a restraining aura so that he would not be spoken to. Plus, the condition of my people who were in a bad condition gave me an additional wall so that I would not deal with Hanz. Therefore, I tried to walk in the other direction, towards Brother Dina. He was sitting leaning and aloof, folding and lifting his knees to the face, then hugging the folds until it was used as a simple face pillow for himself.

"Sister," call me who is walking closer to Brother Dina.

For unknown reasons, I didn't see Verdian's girlfriend from sister Dina. The man was not beside Brother Dina or even in this room right now. That's why I can come to Dina's sister calmly. Verdian's usual existence created a barrier wall between us making communication really limited.

"Hn ...? Ivan ... What's wrong?" sahut brother Dina raised his face to look at me.

"Yes ...."

My response there was a little delayed. Unlike the others, he this time showed a look full of sadness on his face. His eyes melted, the damp marks on the eyes made the wrinkle and the main line become chaotic, it was clear he was in an unhappy condition.

"Why? Brother face kayak—"

*grip

"Hhh!?"

Haven't had time to ask finish the sentence, suddenly the strong grip I felt on my shoulders was quite tight. Not from the side, but from the two right and left sides.

I looked back right, then back left quickly. Then, it was discovered immediately that the ones holding my hand were Amalia and Pero. They quickly put in the strength to pull me away from Dina's sister. With shock and a bit of panic, I chose to go with the flow that was going on there without protest.

But ....

"No, nothing. I'll tell you myself, though. Thanks Amalia, Pero."

"Hn?"

Dina's sister stopped Amalia and Pero's efforts. With her stern statement, she quickly made Amalia and Pero silent so as not to pull me away.

I was still in a confused state, glancing right left towards the two pairs of mute women and the crow demon. But, among them no one answered and instead back down gave me space with sister Dina back.

I don't know if their relationship is better, it seems at this point I know that communication is better.

"..."

"..."

But that doesn't explain Dina's current situation. Is he upset with me or something? Did he have a grudge and say that he didn't want to admit me as his sister? Or ... something as trivial as a bad relationship with Verdian.

And talk about the man ....

"I haven't seen Verdian, Brother. Where is he now?"

"... Yes, Ivan. You don't see."

"Hn? How's it? Am I not the one asking now?"

"You didn't see Verdian. Because he won't be here anymore. He's dead, like I'm the only one who failed that challenge."

"..."

My fingers shuddered, receiving the bad news blankly from anger and fear. Returning back to the seconds when I found out about Geza, the person I hated I didn't expect to die at all. So, sympathy and pity still flowed when Brother Dina said that.

"So sure he's dead—"

"I saw for myself, Ivan. Verdian's head .. broke up pulled the same monster."
