– Congratulations! You’ve finally completed your mission. Proceed to the Rewards page!

The guide noisily congratulated with a more excited voice than usual.

After a while, the book was opened.

Soon the book seemed to glow, and my body was sucked into it.

In the blink of an eye, I was in a red carpet-like space.

This was the reward page.

Previously, due to Lexion’s interference, I had not been able to enter.

When I arrived at the reward page, a man greeted me.

“This is the first time you’ve seen me in this form. My name is Kun, the guide.”

“Did you have a name?”

“Originally, I was bound to the book, but I just finished it. I found my name thanks to Miss Tiarozety.”

He lied skillfully and grinned.

It was a face he never dreamed I had already held hands with Sullivan.

Now the contract is over as long as he rewards me.

After that, Kun would try to control the world at will.

He came up to me and put his hand affectionately on my shoulder.

“Now, all I have to do is offer a reward.”

“… …”

“You did a good job. No traveler I’ve ever met will be like you.”

“You’ve improved your flattery.”

“I just told you the truth. Now, then, as you wish, reward… .”

He gave me a hand and smiled softly.

I asked in a dry voice.

It was to make the time pass.

“What kind of reward are you talking about?”

“Hmm? That, of course, is the reward we promised in the beginning.”

“I don’t need that reward. I don’t want any more.”

With those words, I patted his shoulder.

“Why are you doing this? It will only end when you receive a reward.”

Perhaps he was taken aback, he came back to me and continued talking.

“Didn’t you want to go back to the world? I don’t know what you’re hesitating about now.”

“I wanted to go back, to be exact.”

“What?”

“You dragged me here in the first place.”

“No way. I’m just a powerless guide who moves according to the will of the book…”

When Kun spreads lies like a snarky snake, I let out a blank laugh.

Then I stepped backward and picked up the book I was holding in my hand.

“Don’t lie. You, actually, this is the main body.”

“… …”

“This book disappears only when the contract is completed, right? You become free.”

“What the hell are you talking about….”

Kun tried to pretend to the end.

“I finished the ending, but I don’t need a reward.”

“That’s not okay!”

Kun jumped up and freaked out.

I said with a meaningful smile.

“How about another reward?”

“What?”

“Like this book, for example.”

As soon as I lifted the white book, Kun’s expression turned blue.

TL/N; White book is Lexion’s. Red book is Tiarozety’s.

It was as if he sensed something out of the ordinary in my eyes.

I provoked Kun with a smile.

“I’m more attracted to the rewards of this book.”

When I shook the white book, Kun’s face was severely distorted. 

” But the book has already failed… .”

“Who said that? Failed?”

“… …”

“This book was originally my book, too. Even if it was divided into two, it was originally one, wasn’t it?”

“I don’t know where the hell you heard that, but… You’d better just accept your reward.”

Kuhn glared at me with a smile.

I laughed at it outright, without a hint of fear at all.

“A pure swindler.”

“Yo, You… Insect-like thing…!”

He was furious at my provocation and spat out curse words.

Even though I had often said that he was a con artist, he was extremely incensed.

‘I guess you were silent at that time because you were trying to calm your anger.’

TL/N: Rmb those “… …” sometimes when Tiarozety talks to the guide?

The meaning of the silence, which I learned belatedly, was unexpected.

I gently fidgeted with something, pretending to touch my neck.

It was a necklace that was supposed to give a signal when Alois was ready.

‘Do I have to hold out a little longer time? Why is it so late?’

At that time, Kun threatened with a grim face.

“Do you think you can refuse a reward at will? With my strength, I can send it right now.”

“… …”

“Would it be good to listen to it when I send it nicely?”

Perhaps he thought he was scared when I didn’t respond, so he let go of his anger.

It was that moment.

Finally, the necklace vibrated softly.

‘It’s a signal!’

There was a shout of joy inwardly.

Fortunately, the plan seemed to have been carried out without a hitch.

I shrugged my shoulders with a relaxed smile and sarcastically.

To rekindle Kun’s anger.

“Then send it. You’re a slave trapped in a book anyway.”

“Sl, slave? It’s not as good as this bug….. !”

Kun’s face seemed to turn red and blue quickly, and he was about to cast a spell.

It seemed that he was thinking of sending me back by tying me up.

But he didn’t know.

That it’s my chance when he uses his power.

Kwaang―!

The moment Kun used his power, the book was torn and the reward page was cut off.

At the same time, Kun’s mana began to restrain Kun’s own body.

More precisely, in the form of a chain.

‘It’s a success!’

It was a collaboration between Alois and Sullivan.

Designed to contain Kun.

“What is this!”

Kun shook his head, bewildered by the sudden powerful magic.

The space was about to collapse due to the torn reward page.

A situation in which the reward has not yet been given.

If the reward page disappears like this, the ending will end in failure.

Desperate, he used his strength to free himself from the chains.

But the more he tried to use the power, the more the chain only clamped down on him.

He let out a twisted groan and howled.

“What the hell are you doing!”

I told him with a smile.

“What do you mean? What you did to Sullivan.”

“!!”

Kun stopped at the name Sullivan.

After a while, he muttered with a blank face.

“……how do you know Sullivan…….”

“I just returned the restraint magic you cast on Sullivan to you, the original owner, so why are you angry?”

His face turned ferocious as I raised one corner of my mouth in mockery.

He growled as if threatening me.

“Ha! I don’t know how you got to know Sullivan, but it’s in vain.”

“I’ll judge whether it’s a waste of time or not.”

“Anyway, this chain can be undone in an hour!”

He roared with anger.

It may have been an attempt to intimidate, but it was a complete waste of effort.

“Omo, it takes an hour? There’s more time than I thought. Thank you for telling me the time.”

TL/N: LMAO Tiarozety is so savage with him.

I covered my mouth with my hand and asked back like that.

“What? What is this?”

He groaned and writhed.

I read the white book with a relaxed face.

[Destroy Tiarosetti’s world]. Now, question. What kind of world is this world?”

“Of course it’s here! In this book you’re stepping on!”

“Lie. It’s not decided yet.”

“What do you mean….”

“What if I judge this to be my ‘original world’, instead of this place?”

TL/N: I think what she means is that she would see the novel as her ‘original world’ instead of the ‘book’s world’.

“!!”

“The world has already been ruined by you dragging me here. What will happen if I refuse the reward like this?”

When I asked grimly with a cold expression on my face, Kun gulped.

He seems to have felt something unusual.

“You, how can you close that loophole… … .”

“In the first place, you brought me back with just one word.”

“…!”

PLEASE Read only at PM Translations

Kun was speechless.

It was because he was the one who brought me back by using the word ‘ending’ in the first place.

Thanks to Sullivan’s clue, I was able to figure out the blind spot in the reward.

About the standard of ‘ending’ and ‘world’.

“How does it feel to be fooled by your trick?”

“You, this child… … !”

Kun vented his anger with an angry face.

I went on to say whether he did or not.

“I’ve always wanted to go back to the original world. You just didn’t let me go.”

“So I’m going to let you go now!”

“No. I’m not going back anymore. It’s been a long time since my world was ruined. I don’t even remember the name.”

“It’s a name. When you go back, I’ll…!”

“I don’t need it.”

I firmly refused with cold eyes.

“You must have enjoyed playing with me.”

“… …”

“But I’m the one who wins at the end, not you.”

At my declaration, Kun seemed to slightly move his lips, but then he abruptly spoke generously and servilely.

“I don’t know what Sullivan said, Miss Tiarozety, but listen to me.”

He seemed to be trying to appease me when he belatedly noticed that the situation was going bad.

It’s ridiculous.

‘I’m completely in control in the first place so he can’t be careless.’

I laughed inwardly and shouted while gripping the book domineeringly.

“No! That name wasn’t mine. In the first place, my world has already been ruined.”

“… …”

“If I don’t get rewarded, my world will be ruined.”

“But then you’ll lose yourself forever!”

“I know.”

When I coolly affirmed, Kun flinched.

“But just because my name disappears doesn’t mean I’m going to disappear. Because I exist here.”

I immediately pulled out the dagger from my waistband.

The dagger was filled with the spell that Alois had engraved.

It was a spell passed down from generation to generation by the magician’s family.

It was a spell to get rid of books.

“Th, that’s…!”

Kun recognized it belatedly and shouted.

But there was no way his voice could stop me.

I piled up the white book and the red book and put them on the floor.

Then, I raised his dagger and bid farewell to Kun.

“Fall into hell.”

“No, stop it!”

Kun cried as if screaming.

Without hesitation, I thrust my dagger into the red and white books.

And-

“[Asta!]

I recited the starter words to the red book.

With the aim of destroying his soul.
