Chapter 29

One Ending and Beginning

Fleur Knight was waiting for someone.

She was waiting for his arrival on the company rooftop.

Although it was Fleur who had called him out, she felt a bit anxious, worrying that he might not come, and gently pressed her thumping chest.

Fortunately, he arrived at the location even before the appointed time.

Her colleagueโ€”Lux wright.

โ€œI heard you have something important to discuss,โ€ Lux said, looking slightly nervous.

He seemed to be a bit anxious about what he was going to hear, which surprised Fleur slightly.

โ€œWell, you see, Lux-kun, you might already have an inkling of what Iโ€™m going to say.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€

โ€œI should have told you this sooner, but with everything thatโ€™s been happening, it took me this long.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€

โ€œBut I canโ€™t keep suppressing these feelings any longer.โ€

Up until now, Fleur had been fooling herself, putting a lid on her feelings. But she couldnโ€™t continue to ignore these emotions.

So, gathering her courage, she said to Lux:

โ€œListen, Lux-kun, I want you to hear me out.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆAlright.โ€

With a solemn expression, Lux nodded. After taking a deep breath, Fleur said:

โ€œLux-kun, Iโ€”โ€

โ€œโ€”want to quit this job together with you.โ€

โ—†

It seemed everyone was planning to quit their jobs together.

I thought it was a joke, but since Fleur wouldnโ€™t lie about something like this, it was probably true. Recently, the workload had been getting worse, and everyone seemed fed up.

I had noticed it too, especially after hearing complaints and truths from various people.

Our workplace was toxic.

But given the current times, with society and the whole of Neon City feeling a bit unstable, I hesitated to quit so easily. Especially considering the current state of the Thirteen Steps and the Light King.

For now, Iโ€™ll leave the decision for later. Iโ€™ll think about it after I drag my tired body home.

When I reached the front door, I found Livia-chan and, as always, the deathly pale Thanatos-chan waiting.

โ€œOh, Ojisan.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆOjisan.โ€

Livia-chan greeted me energetically, while Thanatos-chan spoke in a voice matching her pallid complexion.

โ€œGood workโ€”though I wouldnโ€™t recommend going inside today.โ€

โ€œWhy not?โ€

โ€œIf you go inside, youโ€™ll probably end up dead.โ€

โ€œI know.โ€

โ€œEven so, youโ€™re going in?โ€

โ€œWell, itโ€™s kind of my responsibility.โ€

Thanatos-chan tried to smile but failed, her lips twitching instead.

โ€œHow about a takoyaki party at my place instead?โ€

โ€œNo, you should focus on getting better firstโ€ฆare you alright?โ€

โ€œHonestly, not reallyโ€ฆI feel like Iโ€™m dying.โ€

โ€œNo wonder, given how pale you look.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆNo more online shopping for me. I shouldโ€™ve known better than to get interested in suspicious stuff.โ€

Even as she reflected on her mistakes, I doubted it would last. Sheโ€™d probably buy something shady again soon.

After a quick greeting to the two, I took a deep breath and opened the door.

From inside came angry shouting. But it wasnโ€™t directed at me, so I quietly made my way deeper into the house.

โ€œThatโ€™s what I said! We need more personnel there to avoid future problems! Please fill the positions immediately!โ€

The shouting came from a girl. If I had to describe her in one word, she looked like me. Like me from back when I played at being a magical girl.

She was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, tablets on her lap, a laptop in front of her, and a smartphone in her hand.

Empty cans of Elixir lay scattered around, some already drunk.

Noticing me, she spoke sarcastically.

โ€œWelcome back. Tough day at work?โ€

โ€œWell, actually, it seems everyoneโ€™s planning to quit together.โ€

โ€œAre you planning to run away from work? Even though Iโ€™m struggling so much here?โ€

โ€œIs it really that bad?โ€

โ€œYes, it is. Thanks to you giving me this body, my efficiency as the Light King has dropped by ten percent!โ€

โ€œOnly ten percent?โ€

That day, I gave my body to the Light King, resulting in a shared existence. As long as I live, it canโ€™t return to its previous form as an electronic entity.

It often tries to kill me, but itโ€™s too weak to succeed so far.

โ€œI never imagined youโ€™d be so foolish. I manage and run Neon City, and now this. Do you know how many people youโ€™re inconveniencing?โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve been helping with some of your tasks, havenโ€™t I?โ€

โ€œYes, but the Thirteen Steps members aiming for my downfall and those trying to use me are becoming more active. Handle them too, pleaseโ€ฆHumans are so foolish!โ€

Ignoring its outburst, I went to wash my hands. The face in the mirror looked a bit older, not at all happy.

In the end, what I did was give the Light King a human body to experience human misery. For now, thereโ€™s no chaos in Neon City.

But if it gets tired of managing humans and tries to escape, who knows what will happen?

So, in the grand scheme, what I did might beโ€”

โ€œLux! Get back here, we have work to do!โ€

For now, I dried my hands and hurried back to it.

End of webnovel chapters.


Translatorโ€™s Note: With this final chapter, weโ€™ve caught up to the raws. The author has decided not to continue the web novel version. Instead, the story continues from volume 2 of the light novel.

Just by chance, there was a presence there โ€“ the strongest. A Japanese-style RPG based on modern times, โ€œNeon Lightโ€. I, who spent my life on that game and loved it so much that I played it over and over again, am now standing on the stage of that dream โ€“ no, I was reincarnated. The character I was reincarnated as is a young man in a tired salaryman style named โ€œLux,โ€ whom I have never seen even in conversations, a strong character that makes you worry if the game balance will collapse. Despite living quietly to not ruin the scenario of the beloved gameโ€ฆ saving characters who were supposed to die, being respected by the final boss more than the original protagonist โ€“ how did this happen!? An out-of-setting character unconsciously overpowering!? A new sensation, an otherworldly fantasy!
