Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 665: Over the Wall (1)

‘Is there any other task that is as important as this?’

It wasn’t a place that was created to sit around and rest. It was easier to understand as insurance in preparation for when the continental loss plan was initiated.

Even if the ship were damaged at the end of a fierce battle, it would still be correct to prepare for it from the beginning, as there could be situations where its use would be required.

Of course, I couldn’t be honest with him.

In the first place, I couldn’t say that I wanted to run away, and Park Deokgu wouldn’t accept such a proposal. The most appropriate judgment was to tell them to prepare it as a part of the rough landing operation.

‘Right.’

If the whole situation was disturbed and everything collapsed, and the point came when there’s no choice but to trigger Noah’s Ark, I was sure that the pig would jump to the front.

It was possible that he’d make a fuss about trying to save even one more person and confuse the whole situation. It would be hard to take care of my own body, but there could be an unexpected situation where the pig would act out.

‘So, this is more stable.’

If a dangerous situation arose, it would be best to immediately turn around and keep the nice boat safe until another opportunity came. I would try to carry out my mission at any cost, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was the right role for him.

When I nodded my head and looked up at him, I still saw a dead face in the field.

He said that he would try to do it properly, but I guessed he still felt bad after being scolded.

“Don’t pretend to be weak, Deokgu.”

“Oh, I’m not pretending to be weak. I just feel a little down.”

“…”

“…”

“Don’t be too down.”

“I’m not really down…”

“I think I’ve become a little sensitive because there isn’t much time left. That’s why you don’t have to worry too much about what I said. I’m not really angry because I couldn’t believe you, but I wish you were a little more alert. So stop making that face.”

“Still…”

“I’m just telling you how it is. Don’t take it to heart since that wasn’t my intention at all. Still, I want you to think about what you need to do when things take a turn for the worse. That’s more important than anything else.”

“I think I know what Hyung-nim is talking about.”

“I always believe in you, Deokgu.”

“Really?”

‘Yes, I believe at least half of your words.’

“But you must always remember my words. I say this every time: if I can do it, you can do it better.”

“Right.”

“Don’t get nervous, and don’t rush the preparations. Would I have entrusted this to you if I didn’t believe in you?”

“That was a little unexpected.”

He seemed to be feeling better and better. A ridiculously simple appearance was enough to make him laugh for no reason.

Honestly, I didn’t know if that would be such a good thing, but he seemed to be very fond of the task assigned to him.

“Honestly, isn’t this the first time Hyung-nim instructed me to do something else?”

“I don’t think so.”

“No. It seems to be the first time in my memory. Of course, I did a lot of other things, but they weren’t as heavy of a task.”

‘That’s it.’

“At best, they were the same as errands, and I don’t know if it’s right to say this, but most of them had no risk factors at all. Of course, I had many accidents, and I knew that Hyung-nim didn’t have much belief in me, but I wasn’t so disappointed. Anyway, I’ve always wanted to do something like this.”

“…”

“I wanted to do the same things as Jung Hayan, Hyejin Noona, Elena or Hee-young Noona, and Hyung-nim, and I wanted to be trusted as much as them. That’s why I decided to stay alone here…”

‘Don’t make this so serious. Stop revealing your inner thoughts…’

“I see…”

“Now…”

“…”

“Now I feel a little recognized.”

‘Don’t say that, you little piglet.’

The pig’s proud face rose, and his sense of guilt was shoved aside. The bastard wasn’t even entirely aware of it.

“It feels different. Still, because you have never entrusted such a task to me, I also felt a bit of a sense of self-discipline. It seemed like Hyung-nim couldn’t believe in me. Honestly, that’s what I just did a little bit before. It was a long-awaited job, but again, I made a mistake and fell for it. I was angry with myself, and I was sorry to Hyung-nim. It’s the first time that you entrusted me with a huge task, but right from the beginning, I think I already ruined it…”

‘No. You haven’t ruined it. You are doing well.’

“I thought it wouldn’t be very different this time, but I just knew I would be doing a water battle.”

‘You will be able to complete it properly…’

“Hyung-nim doesn’t know how happy I was to see the manual you sent me.”

‘Fuck…’

“Oh, I even cried when I received it!”

“Don’t season it.”

“No, it’s real. I swear by my life, it happened. Ki-mo was with me, so if you don’t believe me, ask him. It’s a little uncomfortable, but I was so happy my tears just flowed out. For you to trust me enough to give me this dangerous task…”

“Yes…”

“Even if my body is broken, I will be able to complete this task.”

“You don’t have to feel so responsible. When things go south, only then will the plan be executed. Until then, our strategy remains the same. In fact, it would be nice if we don’t have to go through with that plan. But if the situation really forces us to use it, then that means that we’re pretty screwed.”

“I understand.”

“Only when you get the signal should you move. This time, you need to think about it strategically. You shouldn’t forget that more than anything else, and it’ll be best if you use the boat for anything else before that.”

“You’ve already told me about that. Since it’s in my heart, you don’t have to worry too much.”

“If so, then that’s a good thing… Anyway, Have you eaten yet?”

“Not really.”

“Let’s eat together. It’s been a while.”

“Really?”

“I have time today anyway. Ye-ri and Ahn Ki-mo are also nearby, right? It would be nice if we can all eat together.”

‘There is no such thing as a landing operation, Deokgu. There is no such thing… The day you make a big success won’t come…’

First of all, I had to speak urgently.

It was because I was embarrassed to continue the conversation any longer when I saw the proud face of the guy who had finally been acknowledged. Even at that moment, he kept snorting about becoming the assault commander of the landing operation.

His eyes were wider than usual, and his steps were far more dignified. All of his actions pierced my conscience.

Honestly, I understood Park Deokgu’s heart as well. Why wouldn’t I be aware of his heart?

It was undeniable that Park Deokgu hadn’t been given a special mission since the Blue Guild was established. In the first place, he never would’ve been used as the main attraction in that kind of operation.

Park Deokgu’s role was either a democratic fighter or a shield, and I was honestly uneasy about entrusting something so huge to him.

I wasn’t worried about his safety. No, it’s okay to worry, but it’s quite natural from my perspective that his odds of survival were on the slightly better side.

There were people in the Blue who could hold the center even if it weren’t for Park Deokgu, and so far, it was a natural choice because there was no party split.

‘Should I really entrust him with this?’

“Honestly, I didn’t know I would use the boat this way.”

“Me too.”

‘It isn’t that bad. For just two hours… If we use it…’

“It’s a good thing that it can help.”

‘What number are you going to block in the first place? One side of the group would be completely wiped out if you can’t defend the place properly.’

“Oh, there’s Ye-ri and Ki-mo.”

“It’s been a while, Vice Guild Master. It’s really nice to see you here.”

“Long time no see.”

“Long time no see indeed.”

‘No. There isn’t enough time.’

Even if there was a little more time, I could bet that I would’ve put him in.

“…”

“…”

“Look at this! If you do this, aren’t we at least three times stronger?”

Ki-mo stepped on his shoulder, and Yeri rode on top of the raised Ki-mo. It was a three-stage combination. A three-stage combination. It would be enough to distract the other party.

“You look like an idiot.”

‘Don’t laugh as if you’re happy, Ye-ri. They aren’t doing this anymore because they will match you up too. It’s good that you haven’t lost your purity yet, but you still have to keep your image.’

“At least, in terms of instilling a sense of intimidation on the monsters, there will be no room for refutation. It’s possible for Ki-mo to push the divine power straight up and down, then Ye-ri will separate it.”

“That’s cool.”

“I knew Hyung would say that.”

“Seriously, don’t use it in practice. Sit down and eat.”

“If only Hyung is hung behind my back here, it will be perfect.”

‘No, it won’t.’

I didn’t know how the conversation fell that way, but I couldn’t explain the appearance of the guys who woke up during a meal and showed a ternary unity.

Ahn Ki-mo seemed to be a good match, but Kim Ye-ri looked really happy.

I knew she was at an age that liked to play, but it felt like Park Deokgu and Ahn ki-mo had brainwashed her without noticing it.

The figure of being nice and paying attention to the landing while spinning a tumble was similar to Yetnikova, who mastered the fascinating dance.

After seeing that, I felt even more uneasy about entrusting one of the frontlines to that person.

If I could only concentrate on Park Deokgu for the next 33 days, it would’ve been possible, but neither Cha Hee-ra nor Jung Hayan’s affairs would be resolved if I did that.

I left behind the three kids who were playing and talking loudly, then quickly started contacting someone.

[Noona, Noona, Noona.]

[What? Don’t send a message about something useless. I’m busy here.]

[Can I borrow Ha Yeon-soo?]

[No way. She hasn’t been up to Tier 1 for a while. It’s impossible. Don’t let me clean up one dead body and fly halfway across the continent. Oh, if only Cha Hee-ra’s case is solved well, we will only have 1/3 damage. So how did it go? Didn’t you say you were training with Cha Hee-ra and Jung Hayan for combat? No matter how busy I am, I definitely want to see that.]

[Proceeding.]

[Proceed as quickly as possible. You must also allow time for recovery. The Mercenary Queen said he wanted to do it first, right?]

[Something like that. Safety devices must be prepared first. If you get seriously injured, that’ll also be a problem.]

[It looks like he knows that he is still lacking. What are you going to do with Park Deokgu?]

[It seems unlikely that we can use him.]

[If your Oppa decides that way, we can’t do anything about it, but I think he won’t be that bad.]

It was then that a voice came from right in front of me.

“Who are you trying to contact so badly without even finishing your meal?”
