Chapter 123: Room 107 – The Gate Room, The Fourth Trial (14)

– Han Kain

Just one individual could possibly be revived.

Between Songee and Seungyub, whose potential could be extra helpful?

“What do you assume, Elena?”

“I believe it’s finest if Kain chooses.”

“…Hmm.”

With Elena naturally leaving the choice to me, each Grandpa Mooksung and Ahri turned their gazes towards me.

It is a bit burdensome.

I rigorously in contrast the professionals and cons of every individual’s talents.

Songee’s largest benefit was undoubtedly the limitless usefulness of the bracelet, her glorious management over Perro, and her Blessing which was significantly efficient in opposition to monster-type enemies.

The disadvantages have been that there was a chance she won’t be capable of use the bracelet within the subsequent trial, and her Blessing was mainly ineffective when the enemy was not a monster.

When evaluating Songee and Seungyub individually, it was exhausting to find out who was higher.

Nonetheless, contemplating the present surviving staff as a complete, the judgment turned clear.

“I believe Songee is extra wanted for our social gathering proper now.”

Ahri turned to me, and I continued explaining.

“The present survivors are me, Elena, Grandpa Mooksung, and Ahri, that makes 4. What’s our weak point? We lacked bodily energy since Jinchul-hyung was eradicated. The lodge has many enemies which might be troublesome to take care of nothing however a gun, and my Descent and Elena’s Justice have important limitations.”

Grandpa Mooksung voiced his settlement.

“That chicken can considerably compensate for that weak point.”

“Precisely. Take into consideration when Perro went berserk earlier than. At the moment, it was lucky that Jinchul-hyung, who might knock out the rampaging Perro with one punch, was there. Grotesque Perro is kind of a beast. Songee’s management over Perro is extraordinarily helpful for us.”

Ahri confirmed a combined response.

“I see your level that Songee can cowl our staff’s weaknesses, however is Perro the one motive?”

“There’s another factor. I believe Elena and Songee’s Blessings work effectively collectively.”

Elena, who had been listening, nodded.

“It’s one thing Songee and I talked about earlier than. Mainly, our enemies are both people or monsters. My Blessing is beneficial in opposition to people, and Songee’s Blessing is beneficial in opposition to monsters. In fact, there are occasions when neither works.”

After sharing these opinions, Ahri additionally conceded.

Ultimately, we determined to revive Songee.

However… I ought to positively inform Seungyub how strongly Ahri insisted on reviving him.

I awoke within the resting space.

Songee naturally reappeared, wanting round with shocked eyes earlier than understanding the scenario.

“Did you revive me?”

Elena approached Songee.

“Sure! All of us thought we actually wanted you.”

Ahri flinched.

“Haha! Songee, truly, not everybody—”

Ahri thought we wanted Seungyub greater than you!

I swallowed the phrases as Ahri kicked my leg.

As I watched my companion joyfully reunite with us, I checked my standing window.

It was good that our Blessings and my Standing Window have been again, however in fact, the Recommendation rely was nonetheless zero.

That owl wasted all the rely giving me incomprehensible recommendation.

The rely wouldn’t refill till the day handed, however the Jekyll and Hyde sport had ended so shortly regardless of the big stress, so the recommendation rely hadn’t recharged.

I ponder if I can use State of affairs Comprehension?

There are three hours left till the subsequent trial.

Grandpa Mooksung moved to the middle of the room.

“Consideration, everybody!”

“Do you’ve gotten one thing to say?”

“I’ve been holding onto this as a result of the timing by no means appeared proper, however now is likely to be the time to contemplate it.”

As he opened his hand, the “Purple Capsule” appeared.

Elena’s eyes widened as she spoke.

“Oh! I forgot we had that. I hadn’t considered it since we gave it to Jinchul.”

“The timing to make use of it has been difficult. I stored it when Jinchul collapsed, however even then, it wasn’t the fitting time. I considered utilizing it in the course of the Jekyll and Hyde sport, nevertheless it didn’t appear to be the capsule might cease Hyde. Hyde wasn’t precisely a psychological assault, was it?”

“Who ought to maintain onto the capsule now?”

“I’m unsure.”

As we contemplated, sSongee out of the blue had an odd response.

nnnn

Old school?

I couldn’t inform.

It felt Western, which solely added to my confusion.

I checked the State of affairs.

State of affairs: The Gate Room – ‘The Secret of Esper Ho’nnn

State of affairs: The Gate Room – ‘The Secret of Esper Ho’

The lodge group awoke on an opulent passenger ship. Lovely music echoed by way of the room.

A employees member arrives to information them to a cocktail party. Attend the social gathering and collect data.

Verify the subsequent half at midnight.

nn

The sound of music started to fill the room.

Is that this classical?

It feels like a stay efficiency moderately than a recording.

Contemplating the flamboyant apparel, an opulent passenger ship?

A cocktail party?

Workers?

That is likely to be the case.

– Click on! Click on! Click on!

I shortly knowledgeable my companions of the small print.

“We’re on an opulent passenger ship. A employees member is coming quickly to information us to a cocktail party.”

“An expensive passenger ship? Like a cruise?”

“In all probability. Has anybody been to a spot like this earlier than?”

The remainder of the group simply tilted their heads, and the Administration staff gave imprecise responses.

“I’ve been on one throughout a mission, however not in a standard means.

“We infiltrated one to take care of a ridiculous monster.”

– Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang.

Opening the door, a employees member entered.

As per the state of affairs’s description, the employees gave a quick rationalization of the room and guided us to the ceremonial dinner.

The employees repeatedly emphasised.

“You could costume comfortably inside your room, however please adhere to the costume code on the social gathering. The tuxedos and attire you’re sporting are adequate.”

As soon as the employees member left, we began a gathering.

– Click on! Click on! Click on!

Grandpa Mooksung spoke first.

“It’s suspicious how they hold insisting on the costume code. Ought to we attempt sporting one thing else and go? What do you assume?”

Ahri responded.

“If it’s a proper social gathering, adhering to the costume code is predicted. It’s nothing bizarre.”

I additionally had a query.

“There are nonetheless three hours till the ceremonial dinner. What ought to we do till then? Discover the ship?”

“Even when we discover, how about sticking collectively? I’m nervous one thing would possibly occur. Kain, is there any replace to the State of affairs?” Elena cautiously instructed.

“No. The State of affairs simply says to attend the ceremonial dinner and collect data. The subsequent half will likely be revealed at midnight. It appears the principle development begins with the ceremonial dinner, however we must always nonetheless do one thing.”

Ahri additionally spoke up.

“Earlier than going outdoors, let’s scour the room. We would discover one thing.”

With that, everybody began looking out the room.

– Click on! Click on! Click on!

“…”

“Every little thing’s nice, however why has Perro been clinging to the wall and pecking at it?”

Perro had been clinging to the wall, pecking at it nonstop.

Songee responded in a puzzled tone.

“He’s been feeling stressed. It’s not a small house, however…”

If he have been an odd chicken, we’d simply dismiss it as animal habits, however given Perro’s extraordinary nature, I used to be curious concerning the motive.

“Is that this a music field? It appears very previous. This type was well-liked earlier than World Warfare II…”

From a distance, I heard Ahri’s voice discovering one thing.

Listening to Ahri, the imprecise doubts I had been harboring resurfaced.

Within the strategy of opening up to one another, I discovered one thing about Ahri.

There was one inconsistency in Ahri’s habits that couldn’t be reconciled.

…Is it okay to ask about it?

Feeling my thoughts tangled, I grew drained.

The Fourth Trial, “The Secret of Esper Ho.”

This ship was full of secrets and techniques.

I had a sense that this trial wouldn’t be easy /genesisforsaken
