Old Testament Ballads (Old Virgin Ballad Guild).

ch. 52. The Black Cats of the Full Moon guild.

I lose-?

I still can't believe this. Heathcliff's unnatural speed during the final moments has crossed the line of the player - over the line of any human being.

I even saw the polygons that formed his avatar being distorted for a moment due to the impossible speed.

As I sat on the ground, I lifted my head and looked at Heathcliff's face.

But the winner's expression seemed angry for some reason. The red paladin looked at us with his metal eyes, then turned around wordlessly and walked into his waiting room amidst the rumbling cheers.

🗡🗡🗡🗡

Wha... what is it!?”

"What do you mean? You know what this is. Now, let's get up!"The thing Angela had forced on me was my new clothes. Although the clothes had the same design as the coat I used to wear, but the color was dazzling white.

There was a small cross on each of my cuffs and a large cross on my back; all three were bright red. This outfit, without the slightest doubt, is a BPT uniform.

"...I-I said I want something plain.”.

"This uniform is plain enough. Yeah, you fit in this outfit!!”

I was mired back in the rocking chair when all the power was gone from my body. I still live on the second floor of Agil's shop.

This place had become a refuge from my badge, so the pitiful shopkeeper could only sleep on a simple bed on the first floor.

The only reason she hasn't kicked me out yet is because Angela comes in every day to help out at the store.

It was the best advertising opportunity he could get. While I was complaining in my chair, Angela came and sat on the armrest, which had become her preferred place.

He shook his chair with a smile, as if my predicament was now pleasant to him, and then clapped his hands together as if he had just thought of something.

"Ah, we better say our greetings well. As a member of the guild, I hope we can get along.”

Since he suddenly bowed, I straightened my back to answer.

My defeat in the duel against Heathcliff happened two days ago.

Since I was not the one who would renege on his promise, I joined the Old Virgin Ballad Guild as I had agreed with Heathcliff, the guild gave me two days to get ready, so from tomorrow I will follow their orders to explore the labyrinth from the seventy-five floor.

Join a guild, huh-.

Angela glanced at me because she heard my slow breathing.

"... you're involved in all this because of me.”

"Well, it's okay. This is a good opportunity for me. I also started to feel the limitations - the limits in playing solo.”.

"I'm so glad to hear you say that... Hey, Damara - kun..”.

Both of Angela's hazel eyes were staring straight at me.

"Can you tell me why you avoided the guild...? I don't think this is because you are a beta tester or unique skill user, because you are a very good person.”

I moved my gaze down and slowly shook my chair.

"...before...more than a year ago actually, I once joined a guild...”.

My words came out so easily that it surprised me. Maybe it's because I feel like Angela's eyes will be able to melt away the pain that's piercing me every time I think about it

about this.

"I was once offered a position in the guild after I met and helped them by chance inside a labyrinth area... This guild is small with only six members, including me, and this guild

have an interesting name: «Black Cats of the Full Moon»."

seriated.
