After commanding the dwarven supercar to follow us, I walked with Boss.

We walked forward inside the snowstorm without a clear destination.

Ssk, ssk.

The sound of our feet touching the snow vividly resounded.

It was then.

Boss asked fleetingly.

"...What do you think?"

She sounded gloomy. I wasn't so insensitive as to not know the meaning of her question and tone.

"Still the same."

In the past, Boss asked me what I thought about murder. That to be with her, I would have to kill many innocent people.

My answer was still the same as it was back then.

"I'm a murderer too."

Whether someone is beaten to death, shot to death, or cut up into bits and pieces, the result was the same.

"...."

Boss stopped.

Behind her small shoulders, I also stopped.

Perhaps she was afraid that I was disappointed. After all, she had never killed anyone so brutally in the three years we worked together.

"...I see."

Boss left behind these two words and began walking again.

"They'll be revived anyways. Though they'll have to start over from the tutorial."

In truth, being dismembered was a rather severe way of dying. Those thugs should have lost 2~3 lives from it. Also, with the pain they must have suffered, they wouldn't be able to avoid mental trauma either.

But they were the ones who started it in the first place. Boss had given them a chance to back down before it was too late.

"They were probably Djinns anyways. I heard about 500 tickets were released in Pandemonium."

"...Yeah."

Boss muttered. She didn't sound as dejected anymore.

This was probably the right time to show her my new artifact.

I called the dwarven supercar over.

Shoong—

Seeing the supercar slide towards us, Boss became startled and unleashed her magic power.

"What is it?!"

"It's mine. It's our transportation."

I jumped in like I was getting in a sports car.

"Get in, Boss."

"...What is this?"

"Like I said, there are lots of useful items on the 2nd floor."

I smacked the back seat with a grin.

"Hoee..."

Before getting on the dwarven supercar, Boss examined the vehicle with curious eyes.

"Is it pure gold...?"

As expected, that was what caught her attention first.

Boss rubbed the golden symbols engraved on the vehicle before jumping in.

"Alright, it's rather fast, so hold on tight.... Oh, also..."

Before setting off, I took out the Yggdrasil Leaf and casted a blessing on the dwarven supercar.
