【TRIGESIMAL GUARDIAN】Thief of Earth’s Essence

“The Guardian of Floor 30?”

In response, the figure turned toward me. It was a young man with dull chestnut hair. He was wearing old clothes with frayed hems, and his eyes looked oh so tired. They were a purplish gray, a blue-black color, and what really stood out were the dark circles under them. He looked a little bit older than me, maybe; about as old as a college student in my world.

The young man put a hand to his forehead; he began to look puzzled. “Yeah. Yeah, that’s right. I’m a Guardian. I know that. Of that, there can be no doubt. But I made a promise to that guy...and then...and then!”

This guy hardly looked like a monster. Could he really be a Guardian? Really? He seemed all mixed up. From what people had told me, the Guardian came into existence when a diver first entered its floor. I didn’t know how it worked, but if it was akin to a sudden summoning, I didn’t blame him for being in a state of confusion.

He kept talking to himself, his empty eyes wandering around as he strove to grasp his situation. “And then?! What happened to me after? Oh. Oh, right. I think I joined together with that dumbass and got swallowed?!”

His eyes snapped wide and he crouched down. That instant, a giant black sickle whooshed over his head.

“So close!” came a voice tinged with glee.

Yet another figure had appeared from out of nowhere, and this one didn’t look like a monster either. The bearer of the scythe was a very young and stark-naked little girl with brown skin and body-length black hair, no taller than a grade schooler, and she was floating in the air. The blade was around two meters in length, and it was made of amorphous darkness. Lastly, her crimson eyes were brimming with the urge to kill. Everything about her was abnormal, most of all my inability to gain any information on her despite using Analyze.

She clicked her tongue, but she still seemed to be having a ball as she swung at the guy a second time. He groaned, no longer looking so puzzled.

“Oh! I get it now! Dammit, so that’s how it happened?!”

He put up his dukes, keeping an eye on his surroundings while he dodged her death stroke. In the midst of that, our eyes met again.

“It’s too dangerous here!” he shouted to me. “You’ve gotta run!”

“Wait, huh?!” I had no idea what was going on. I never would’ve dreamed that when I reached Floor 30, the Guardian would be urging me to flee. Nor could I have predicted in a million years that he’d ignore me and start engaging in combat with a little girl.

“Reaper’s too dangerous! I, Lorwen, Thief of Earth’s Essence, will keep her occupied, so use this chance to run!”

“Reaper”? As in, the Grim Reaper?

Judging by his expression, he truly was worried about my safety. But I stayed in that spot, at a loss over what to do.
