/The Final Trigger
<Blue Bullet>
:The Golden Eyes of Greed. (A lowly bullet where the target can have something taken away from them by the other party.)
Physical things cannot be taken away.

*****
“…….”
A gunshot resonated throughout the entire circus.
Everyone’s attention turned toward where the gunshot had been fired. And the person who broke that silent stillness was none other than.
Park Yeon-jeong himself.
Flash!
This sensation of having crossed the threshold between life and death. Certainly, this was something I could be sure of with just this one word.
‘I really thought I was going to die!’
This was a moment that reaffirmed the fact that experiencing death is sufficient once in life.
A disgusting sensation that I never want to feel again.
However, before losing consciousness.
I definitely remember the voice I heard in my ear.
-‘The lowly bullet begins to look at the sparkling world with golden eyes.’
My gaze turned to the red bloody puddle at my feet. Though it wasn’t clearly reflecting me.
Sparkle-!
My own golden-shining eyes still glimmered brilliantly even in the bloody puddle.
When I first entered this circus venue.
Before the first performance began.
I earnestly wished for this blue bullet to appear from the audience seats.
Desperately hoping that the ‘Lucky Day’ effect from the [Seven Knights] ghost story with the skull mark would be activated.
I wished more earnestly than ever before.
And that earnestness.
Was fulfilled this time.
Swish.
The black text wavering before my eyes appeared without betraying my expectations.
『Lucky Day.』
‘…I believed in it, damn it!’
It was truly a satisfactory result.
……However.
Park Yeon-jeong furrowed his brow, staring at his right forearm with his golden-sparkling eyes.
The ‘white skull mark’ with its black water drained was revealing its presence on his right wrist.
The ‘Unlucky Day’ effect is an unpredictable fellow.
Like a time bomb that might explode at any moment.
From now on, it’s only a battle against time.
Before the Unlucky Day effect is activated. He must quickly rectify this entire situation.
…So now.
‘I’ll first need to calm down that clay sorcerer.’
His gaze naturally fixed directly on the love mask that matched the descriptor of madness.
【♥What was that just now? Don’t tell me it was some kind of ‘suicide show’ for me?!】
Suicide is not a show.
And this is not a show for you.
This is my desperate struggle to survive away from you.
However, in the love mask’s gaze, it seemed that every single one of her actions appeared to be for their own sake.
【♥Oh, good… good! As expected, our new brother also wanted to become my brother! Perhaps we were destined to meet like this☻.】
Please don’t wrap it up with such a grandiose word as destiny.
We are not such a destined relationship, but merely the worst meeting bound by ‘bad karma’.
So.
‘Quickly lie down and spit three times! You bastard!’
Before being cursed!
Listen up, white skull on our right arm!
Bam-
While earnestly trying to appease the white skull, I turned my gaze at the sound of someone’s footsteps walking toward me.
Bam-
【♥Since the person involved wants it too. There’s no need to hesitate anymore. Right, my brother♡.】
Bam-
There was no hesitation felt in the love mask’s walk.
【♥I’ll do the external appearance my way. But sometimes I’ll change to this look! Because I also like your current appearance… ! However….】
The ghost story that approached right in front of me like a curious child began to reveal sharp thorns within a soft voice.
【♥You won’t need eyes, right? So that you won’t be distracted by other f▓ckers like this time.】
Swish-
She grabbed my left forearm without hesitation.
【♥…Only look at me.】
“…….”
Stroking up and down my forearm, the end of the voice was tinged with a distorted obsession.
【♥Let’s do many things together. I’ve really wanted to do so many things when I get a brother like you… really… already… I’m excited☻☻☻.】
I opened my firmly closed mouth with a subtle smile and a sly tone toward the love mask.
“How fortunate. I also wished I had such a cute little sister.”
At my last words, they stared at my face and soon, with a trembling voice…
Hugged me.
【♥I love you… brother.】
Squeeze.
To make me an existence that only loves them, they did not separate from me for a while.
【♥…Huh?】
However, my appearance did not change.
And while looking at their bewildered expression, I spoke again.
“How truly fortunate.”
【♥…What did you do to my body?】
The love mask’s voice, which had just shown twisted emotions toward me, began to turn rough.
Flash-
I responded with a calm smile and golden sparkling eyes.
“How fortunate that it’s a character with a head full of flowers. Really, fortunate.”
This was sincere.
【♥What nonsense have you been saying since earlier…】
However,
Before the love mask could finish speaking, I slowly overlaid my right palm on top of their palm and softly murmured.
“My ability usage is a bit immature. Please understand.”
I whispered quietly.
“I’ll attach a weight to your hand, so please wait here for a moment.”
As soon as my words ended.
Thud!
【♥!!】
Where the love mask’s ordinary hand should have been just moments ago, their hand had transformed into a massive weight.
【♥You… how… how! Did you use my power!!】
What do you mean, how?
I just stole it because I wanted the love mask’s power.
And this is precisely the effect of the blue bullet.
———-
A lowly bullet where you can take something away from the other party.
———-
A self-destructive bullet that can temporarily take away everything except the physical body of the target observed with golden eyes.
Of course, the number of times it can be stolen is only once across all targets.
So I chose the love mask’s body transformation ability.
The very first reason I grabbed the angry mask was also because of this reason.
I must first take care of the guy with physical strength that cannot be taken away with blue bullets. This way, I could eliminate the variables that might exist behind.
Creak-!
The love mask’s teeth-grinding sound is clearly heard.
【♥Are you going to release this right now?!!】
‘Would you release it if you were in my position?’
The love mask spat out a laugh that seemed like foam would fly from his mouth at any moment.
I raised my index finger and slowly brought it close to her mask.
“Please be quiet.”
【♥Hmm……!! Hmm! Hmm hmm!!!】
‘…Still noisy.’
But, this is done.
I had already captured the physically strong angry mask, and I had also successfully neutralized the love mask who had the most annoying physical transformation ability.
Then, the remaining guy is.
Just one.
Swoosh-
My gaze soon fixed on the Tears mask on the aerial swing hanging from the ceiling, looking down at me.
【♣…Really useless brother and sister.】
The Tears mask finally opened the mouth he had been keeping shut and complained about his current situation.
“Will you come down by yourself? Or shall I come and get you?”
I asked politely.
【♣Would you come down obediently if you were in my position?】
Of course not?
I naturally turned my gaze towards the teddy bear mascot standing in the center of the stage and made a request.
“Third. Please bring that guy here.”
Nod!
As soon as my words fell, our third teddy bear leaped high from the ground in one motion.
Boom!
In an instant, he made eye contact with the Tears mask sprawled on the aerial swing.
Swish-!
【♣This teddy bear… is too unfair.】
Snap!
And our third teddy bear, who immediately grabbed such a Tears mask, safely landed on the ground and then.
Brought the captured Tears mask right in front of me.
“Good job.”
Swish, swish-!
Along with the third teddy bear delighted by my praise.
Sniff.
?
Suddenly, the Tears mask begins to show tears.
【♣Please don’t kill me. I was just forcibly doing what my brother and sister ordered.】
Sniff-
“……”
It has started.
The Tears mask’s method of tearful acting.
A being with the power of high mental damage.
This guy is a heinous being who induces sympathy in others and then stabs a sharp iron spike into the victim’s throat when they let their guard down.
Perhaps if it was a person from an agency vulnerable to general mental damage, they might have fallen into this mental manipulation.
Yes, if it were an ordinary person.
Crack!
I put all my strength into my left fist and drove it hard onto the Tears mask’s head.
Bong!
【♣Ah!!】
“Stop playing tricks and stay still.”
【♣……Yes.】
Everything was gradually being sorted out.
Thud-
And Han-sol, who had been watching the entire situation, carefully approached me and opened the mouth she had been firmly keeping shut.
“…What are you planning to do with us from now on? Are you going to… kill us?”
To her tone that still seemed to be wary of me, the only thing I could say was this one sentence.
“What do you mean? You’re going back to where you each came from now.”
I want to go back and rest quickly too.
And I had to return quickly before this white skull started moving.
“…Really, you’re letting us go like this?”
‘What could I possibly do with you all…’
“…If you don’t want to go, I don’t mind.”
“Oh, no!”
While having a brief nerve war with Han-sol.
Thud-
?
This time, I stopped taking out the quill pen from my coat due to footsteps coming from a different location.
When I turned my gaze towards where the sound was coming from.
Thud-
There were agency personnel slowly walking towards us.
Were they coming to offer gratitude?
……Embarrassed.
‘There’s no need to be thankful.’
But I won’t refuse a word of thanks. After all, there’s no one who dislikes praise.
As the distance with the agency people gradually became closer.
I opened my mouth pretending to be calm.
“What mat-”
Quick steps!
Grab!
…Huh?
Suddenly, our third teddy bear snatched me and separated me from the agency personnel.
At first, I was perplexed.
But soon, I noticed something in the hands of the agency personnel.
I understood the third teddy bear’s actions.
Blades
Scissors.
Baseball bat.
Spoon?
These were not items one would bring to offer thanks.
And the black shadow emerging between those agency personnel caught my attention.
Sniff-
A shallow sob could be heard from there.
【♣That brother is trying to kill me… Punish him☹.】
“…Bad, people.”
“…Must, punish.”
Sniff-
‘That bastard!’
The Tears mask, who had almost finished everything, was now using mental manipulation to turn the agency personnel to his side.
【♥Hmm hmm!!】
And the Love mask, trying to say something with his blocked mouth towards the Tears mask.
…Sniff.
【♣…Seriously, what a high-maintenance sister.】
As soon as the Tears mask’s words ended, the agency personnel’s footsteps began to head towards the Love mask.
And at that moment.
I shouted.
“Human! Stop those agency guys right now!!”
“Pardon?”
“Stop them!!”
I’m running late.
Han-sol must block them.
If they can’t block them…
That guy will come out here.
“No!!”
But,
Thud!
Too late.
【♥!!】
The agency guy’s blade pierces the Love mask’s abdomen.
Slash-!
When the Love mask’s body was split in half with the swing of the knife.
I realized.
I realized we were screwed…
And throughout this entire space, only one pierrot’s sob echoed.
【♣Ugh… First brother… help me.】
The sobbing bursting from behind the Tears mask began to create a thick darkness.
All the stage lights went out in an instant, and with an ominous silence, black shadows enveloped the entire world.
In the darkness, as if metal parts were friction-generating, cutting through the chilling cold.
A low voice echoed towards us.
