Absolute Regression Chapter 98

Episode 98 My world would be boring.

The two evil Soma eyes in the eye sockets were smiling brightly.

Would you have ever imagined that in exchange for lifting your ban, you would have to take off your mask?

He was angry but happy at the sa ti. I may be the first person who made him have two conflicting emotions coexist.

In my entire life, I’ve never seen anyone treat so carelessly. Even my father didn’t treat the Mazons so carelessly.

I know. How much Extre Soma loves to enjoy monts like this. Your blood will be flowing quickly and your heart will be beating like crazy. I think this too is so kind of illness.

“What if I promise to take off my mask and then later don’t keep my promise?”

“We have to rush in and forcefully take it off.”

“Now, let’s practice.”

In an instant, Extre Evil Soma’s eyes sank. Ready to fight, he was a completely different person than he was a mont ago.

I waved my hand and pushed my chair back.

“If I do that, the skin on my face might co off.”

Extre Soma answered his prayers and asked leisurely.

“Now, if you can’t force it off, what are you going to do now?”

I stared at him for a mont and then answered calmly.

“I won’t do anything.”

For a mont, Extre Soma was shocked. I just said the correct answer that even the person involved, Extre Soma, doesn’t know.

Do nothing.

This is the right answer for this tree frog-like extre soma. He asked with an expression of incomprehension.

“Does this an you will trust ?”

“Honestly, I don’t believe it. “Extre Soma is not a na that gives anyone confidence, is it?”

I laughed as if it was a joke, but he didn’t laugh.

“Now, please stand up. Soma, you should go and eat too.”

I didn’t explain why to him. Sotis not saying anything works best. This is especially true when there is no particular reason, like this ti.

Sotis the other person exaggerates this insignificant thing and makes it into sothing plausible.

I stood up first, followed by Extre Soma.

After leaving the pub, we went back the way we ca.

He walked side by side with for a while and then stopped.

“Please wait a mont.”

He went to the vendor selling masks. Then he bought a white mask there and gave it to .

“This is a gift to commorate today.”

I said to him as I accepted the mask.

“I suggested that you take off your mask, but instead you put a mask on my face.”

I obediently put on my mask.

“It’s frustrating. I guarantee that if you take off your mask and fight, Soma will fight twice as well. “How long does it take for this to beco comfortable?”

“It doesn’t take as long as you think.”

“If so, the converse would also be true. “The ti it takes to feel at ease without the mask.”

Visible through the eye holes of the mask, Extre Soma was staring at in silence.

You were looking at like this.

He can now look at only with my eyes in his eye sockets. Maybe that would be more disadvantageous for . Because Extre Soma has lived among nurous masked minions for a very long ti.

I pulled the mask up onto my head like a hat.

“Write it like this. How comfortable and good is it? Put it on when you want to put it on, take it off when you want to take it off. “Just like this.”

With that, I tapped the mask above my head, looking at the sky, with my palm.

“This guy will feel good too. “If you look at the sky like this.”

Then, Extre Soma looked up at the sky.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to do this? Then we will both see the sky.”

When Extre Soma, who had been looking at the sky with empty eyes for a long ti, turned his gaze to , he had already made a decision.

“great. I will accept the conditions presented by Lee Gong-ja. “If you lift my restraints, I will take off my mask when we are alone.”

I don’t believe he will keep his promise.

This is the face I saw only once before my return and before I died. He won’t take off his mask easily.

But just making that promise is aningful. Will I ever see his younger face?

“Thank you, Soma.”

The vertical line on the line drawn in my heart moved a little more to the right. There is still a long way to go. It won’t be until you get more than halfway through that you’ll be in a state where you’ll be wondering whether or not to kill .

“If I et these conditions, I can attack my father, right?”

We looked at each other and smiled. Neither he nor I expressed our true feelings at all, but we smiled broadly as if this laughter was a sign of this promise.

* * *

The next day, when I entered Cheonmajeon, Commander-in-Chief Sima Ming was also there.

After saying hello to his father, he joked with Sima Ming.

“I’ve been cornered by you lately, soldier.”

“What do you an?”

“My father followed up with us, even though we were two houses apart.”

Only then did he understand that he was talking about baduk, and Sima Ming laughed.

“It’s because you were defrauded by a soldier who can’t play baduk.”

“You already heard it.”

This ti I laughed. My father is blunt and doesn’t seem like he would ever tell the jokes we shared, but he does it all to Sima Ming. This probably ans that Sima Ming is close.

After a brief exchange of greetings, I told my father the purpose of today’s visit.

“I ca to see you because my father asked a favor.”

“Say it.”

“Please lift the ban on Extre Soma.”

My father wasn’t surprised. It’s probably because they’ve recently reported that I’ve been eting with a very evil Soma.

Sima Myung stepped forward in place of my father who was silently looking down at .

“May I ask why?”

“Geokaksoma ca to and asked a favor.”

“Then can’t you just refuse?”

“If you refuse, I will kill your family! What should I do if soone threatens ? Ah, then I guess I will beco the Heavenly Demon. Should I have accepted it?”

Sima Ming did not laugh at my joke.

“This is not sothing to joke about. Do you know why Extre Soma was banned?”

“I know. “They massacred the Sapostolic Alliance warriors.”

“Soma is a person who cannot control his anger.”

“The longer we keep him tied up, the more angry he will explode.”

Even Sima Ming could not refute this statent.

My father, who was listening, suddenly asked.

“Can you take responsibility?”

“Why am I responsible? “The person who caused the accident should be held responsible.”

“If a dog off leash bites a person, how can the dog be solely responsible? “The person who released him must also be held accountable.”

“Of course, but.”

“If you accept the condition that you will take responsibility, I will lift the ban.”

“You can’t just support that person forever, can you? “When the ban is lifted, he will be imdiately excommunicated, and I will only be responsible for what happens during that expulsion.”

“good night!”

Unlike his father, who readily gave his permission, Sima Ming once again emphasized it with an anxious look on his face.

“There must have been a lot of Extre Soma accumulated over the past two years of being confined to the main school. “If you go out to the midfield, you could commit a massacre.”

“I will keep this in mind and look closely.”

Lastly, he expressed his gratitude to his father.

“Father, thank you for your permission.”

Of course, my father did not accept the greeting without any hesitation.

“Is this really sothing to be thankful for?”

From the perspective of Cheonmajeon, it was impossible to ban extre soma forever. At a ti like this, my request would have been enough to give my father an opportunity to lift the ban. As a result, this incident also beca a kind of successor test.

father. I’m sorry, but I will have the advantage in this matter. I already know what Extre Evil Soma is planning to do after he leaves the church.

* * *

After leaving Cheonmajeon, I went straight to the evil song to visit Extre Evil Soma.

“Did you really get permission?”

It seems that Extre Soma didn’t know that I would get my father’s permission in just one day.

“yes. The ban will be lifted tomorrow. An official docunt will arrive from Tongcheongak soti tomorrow.”

Admiration flashed in Extre Soma’s eyes.

“I had no idea we could do it this quickly.”

“Now you know why you should support and not your brother, right?”

“I’ll have to think about it seriously. But did the religious leader just allow it?”

“Is that possible? “My father put a condition on it.”

“What are the conditions?”

I let out a sowhat exaggerated sigh and then spoke to him.

“If Soma causes trouble, I will take full responsibility for it.”

“Ohh! “You risked your position as successor for .”

“That’s the way it is.”

Extre Soma did not hide his expression of surprise.

“Is this worth it?”

“Seeing Soma’s face? “I think it’s well worth it.”

“The Duke of Lee risked too much just to be flattered like this.”

“Then, since you’ve already been caught, I’ll do one more thing. Becoming friends with a very evil soma is sothing no one will ever experience in their lives. “It’s a condition worth walking on.”

The evil soma stared at as if it were staring in the face. You might want to find out what my intentions are, but you won’t be able to know just by looking at my eyes and facial expressions. In the past, now and in the future.

“In other words, I can have as many accidents as I want. “The scientist will be responsible.”

“It’s really crazy.”

“Couldn’t you have hidden it? You don’t want to tell you that you promised to take responsibility, right? “It would be a weakness for a scientist.”

“I have to say it. “Aren’t most of the problems we face caused by not speaking up when we should?”

Extre Soma smiled strangely. It is a different type of laughter than the habitual laughter.

“I have no intention of ignoring Soma. “I don’t think that sothing will happen if I hide it.”

“Whenever I heard rumors about Lee Gongja, I thought they were exaggerated. But now I see it has shrunk a lot.”

“Maybe it’s because he’s Soma-sama.”

“What do you an?”

“Even if you report the sa thing, the content will sound different depending on how you feel. However, in front of Lord Soma, even his subordinates will have no choice but to beco rigid. Only dry reports that exclude personal opinions or emotions as much as possible will be included. “I wouldn’t have been able to properly convey who I am.”

“That makes perfect sense.”

The laughter sounded different again. Soma smiles like that when he has a lot on his mind.

“Instead, please promise one thing.”

“What is it?”

“If you need to leave school, you must co with . “If you break this promise, you will be banned again and you will probably have to start over from the beginning.”

“Let’s leave school tomorrow without any promises of a later date.”

The person who makes this kind of impromptu decision is a very evil person. So dealing with him is difficult.

I also answered without hesitation.

“I’m looking forward to my trip with Soma.”

I deliberately described my departure from church with him as a trip.

“We are not going on a trip.”

“If you go with friends, isn’t it a trip no matter where you go?”

I have to do my best to prevent him from getting into trouble during this journey, so I don’t want to approach him this anxiously.

I’m really going out with the mindset that I’m going out to have so fun with Extre Soma. If a friend fights, you stop him, and if he falls into danger, you save him. With just this much heart.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

“I’ll see you tomorrow morning, Mr. Lee.”

As I was about to open the door and co out, Extre Soma asked from behind.

“Is there sowhere you want to go?”

I turned to him and said.

“a lot. But during this mission, I want to see Soma’s world. “Please show around.”

“My world would be boring. “Maybe even more than Magachon.”

“You may feel that way because it is your world, but if soone else sees it, it will be different.”

He laughed and I laughed along with him.

When you et Soma, you often laugh. Whether the smile is forced, whether there is a dagger in the smile, or whether it is sincere. Anyway, I end up laughing. They say that if you laugh often, you will live longer. There are also good points like this.

As I opened the door again and was about to leave, I added another word.

“Truly, Maga Village is not such a trivial place. People make a living by selling masks to evil demons, right?”
