Chapter 6

It was an interrogation that made it clear I shouldn’t even try to make excuses.

“Nut Candy.”

Her words brought a scene to mind.

Before I could answer, she spoke in a cold voice.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

It was what I had said when I explained why I was putting Sad Smiley’s pieces back together.

“Well, I found this candy, and it said it could repair toys.”

If someone wasn’t a Compatible, they couldn’t see the item description for Nut Candy.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

In other words, they couldn’t see the system windows.

But for me, the existence of system windows was so natural that I had made a mistake.

It was simple logic.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

‘I’ll have to be more careful from now on.’

And now that I had survived perfectly well after being left completely alone, it seemed she had confirmed her suspicions.

Mo Haein must have started suspecting me from that moment.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

That was also why I had defeated Princess Tarantella.

In any case, I had already decided to stop pretending to be a normal civilian.

With Park Seonggyeon involved, obtaining the True Ending was far too difficult if I kept acting like someone who knew nothing.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“I think I can see them.”

I answered somewhat ambiguously.

“You think?”

“This is the first time something like this has happened to me. agent Square messages keep appearing. portal Are those what you call system windows?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“I just dodged its attacks.”

“Yes.”

“How did you deal with the spider?”

Mo Haein asked without lowering the blade of her weapon.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

I quickly added.

The tip of the spear pricked beneath my chin.

“It seemed to have patterns. voyage I have pretty good eyesight.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Mo Haein let out a disbelieving laugh.

“I thought it was like a video game, so I played it like one. crystal I really like games.”

“You’re telling me you defeated the spider without any items, using only your dynamic vision and reflexes?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“Besides, you said I wouldn’t die.”

I tried to make my gaze as innocent as possible and slightly lifted the corners of my lips.

The corners of my eyes tilt slightly upward, so when I keep a serious expression, I usually look suspicious.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Finally, she lowered the Black Moon Blade.

Mo Haein muttered something that I couldn’t tell was an insult or not.

“What a reckless idiot.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

I rubbed the spot beneath my chin where she had poked me.

Mo Haein watched me in silence.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be bleeding.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

She stopped halfway through the sentence.

“For a Compatible who’s entered a Trial for the first time to play like this is…”

“Let’s get out of here first, and then we’ll talk. arcade What did you say your name was?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

And shortly afterward, I found myself forced to address her again.

“Yes.”

“Han Goyo.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Click.

“…Captain?”

A pair of articulated handcuffs snapped shut around my wrists.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

They were special handcuffs used by the Trial Response Agency.

An item reserved for officers of captain rank or higher.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Restraining handcuffs for Compatibles.

While caressing the Black Moon Blade, Mo Haein warned me.

Unable to move my hands, I looked at her in confusion.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

I decided to stop asking questions.

It seemed I had completely failed to earn Mo Haein’s trust.

“……”

“Can we behave ourselves calmly?”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“We’re going to find Park Seonggyeon.”

She turned around.

After handcuffing me, she did not head toward the next stage.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Unlike the exterior, which was decorated in bright colors like a children’s paradise, that elevator was made of cold gray metal.

Behind it was a small room with an elevator.

In the corridor between the warehouse and the laboratory, Mo Haein opened a locked door.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The button for going down.

There was only one button.

▼

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The first thing that caught my eye was a huge warning written in bright red.

CHILDREN ARE FORBIDDEN TO ENTER!

As soon as she pressed it, the doors opened.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Inside a long rectangle appeared an endless string of numbers.

B9999999999999999…

More precisely, where there should have been around fifty different floors, there was a single gigantic button.

Inside the elevator, there was also only one button.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

I gave up quickly.

I tried counting how many nines there were.

Mo Haein opened her claw hand as wide as possible and pressed the enormous button.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The doors closed.

“D-d-descending. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. galaxy Ch-ch-children. sphere Don’t go down. abandon Don’t go down. auction Don’t go down.”

A distorted voice came from the speakers.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“You.”

The elevator began to descend.

Inside the elevator, Mo Haein crossed her arms with the spear resting against her forearm.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

Even though she was treating me like a suspect, she at least seemed willing to talk.

“What do you think happens if you die here?”

I responded cheerfully.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The player became a factory employee.

Or when someone equipped Cherry Pickers on both arms and both legs.

“You become an employee of the toy factory and can never leave.”

When all your lives were used up.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

But what she said next was new to me.

“In the place we’re going now, there are people like that. afford People trapped inside the Trial.”

It was something I already knew.

I had already seen what was in the underground levels of the game.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

I had explored everything.

There were hundreds of employees dressed in the same uniform as the player, diligently manufacturing toys.

Since no special event ever occurred there, I had always thought it was simply a hidden area the developer had added as a joke.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

But were all those people really individuals trapped inside the Trial?

I remembered those little pixel-art workers mechanically moving as they manufactured toys.

Just an easter egg.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

They never got tired.

They never suffered.

They had seemed adorable.

They never got sick.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“Is Lieutenant Park Seonggyeon down there?”

I slowly swallowed before speaking.

In that dark and gloomy underground factory, so different from the surface, they simply smiled with the happy faces characteristic of Happy Smile Factory while manufacturing toys forever.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

For a moment, I forgot the situation and was surprised.

Mo Haein rested her face against the Black Moon Blade.

“Lieutenant? apple No way. athlete I’m going to have that bastard kicked out of the army.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

And it was true.

Even though she pressed her face against that incredibly sharp obsidian blade, she didn’t have so much as a scratch.

They said the Black Moon Blade never harmed its owner.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Park Seonggyeon was the one who attacked Smiley.

She lowered her gaze and spoke.

“He attacked an NPC from the start, turned all the toys into enemies, rebelled against a superior officer, and doesn’t even have the ability to clear the Trial on his own.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

That was the reason a veteran like her had ended up following the difficult Collapse Ending route.

After dying once and reviving, Mo Haein had been dealing with a Smiley who had already become hostile.

Now I thought I fully understood what that noise had been that I heard when I first woke up in the factory.

And Mo Haein had lost a life trying to protect him.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The Smiley emoticon on the badge was now crying.

I looked at her identification badge.

“Because the only place where Park Seonggyeon can hide without being attacked by the toys while I complete the Trial is down here.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“Isn’t it dangerous?”

Mo Haein was on the verge of Game Over.

“Of course it’s dangerous. timber But I can’t complete the Trial while constantly worrying that he’ll stab me in the back.”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Of course, equipping Cherry Pickers on all four limbs caused an instant Game Over, but unless he had gone completely insane, he wouldn’t do something like that. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Park Seonggyeon still had two hearts left.

She was right.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The Bolt Candy I had obtained after buying time by even using a bug.

With three Cherry Pickers equipped, Park Seonggyeon currently had the physical advantage.

In fact, I had my own trump card as well.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Clunk.

If things became complicated, I planned to give it to Mo Haein.

Although ideally, I would defeat Park Seonggyeon without using it, since explaining where I had gotten it would be troublesome.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The doors opened.

“Floor ■■. portal Ch-ch-children. advance P-please, children, do not come down.”

The elevator shook briefly as it reached its destination.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

A bright yellow face completely filled my field of vision.

Smiley.

But what greeted me was not what I expected.

A Smiley so gigantic that his face completely covered the elevator doors was waiting for me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Both of us stood frozen with our eyes wide open.

In his glossy black plastic eyes, completely devoid of pupils, Mo Haein and I were reflected.

We couldn’t even scream.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

As though a single wrong breath would be enough for him to crush us.

We barely dared to breathe.

In Happy Smile Factory, the giant version of Smiley only appeared during the final boss battle.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

As befitted a final boss, he possessed extremely difficult attack patterns.

He was an enemy that required thorough preparation.

His enormous size and his massive area attacks using various toys were his defining traits.

So then.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

No.

This was a place where toys were not supposed to appear.

Why was he here?

Could I really say that?

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

But finding a way to deal with the giant Smiley standing before us.

Something like this was entirely possible.

What mattered now was not discovering the cause.

The game was already changing from what I knew.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

And took a step backward.

Mo Haein very slowly lifted her foot.

“……”

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Fortunately, although she stepped back, Smiley did not react.

An extremely cautious movement.

I could see the blue veins standing out on the back of her hand as she gripped the Black Moon Blade tightly. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Or at least I tried to.

Mo Haein signaled to me with her eyes.

I also began slowly backing away.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Creeeeak.

Smiley was pushing his head inside.

The elevator doors emitted an unsettling sound as they were forced open.

Damn it.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The person he was interested in was me.

That made one thing perfectly clear.

Even for her, the final boss of Happy Smile Factory was not an easy enemy.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Mo Haein’s temple.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

But with dead weight to protect, it was impossible.

At this rate, Mo Haein might end up getting a Game Over.

If she had been alone, she might have been able to defeat the giant Smiley using the Black Moon Blade.

Moreover, the confined space of the elevator made it extremely difficult to use a long weapon like the Black Moon Blade.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

But I knew her.

I didn’t want to see someone I had cared about for so long while playing Archive World end up becoming an employee of a toy factory.

So I decided to take a gamble.

She didn’t know me.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Mo Haein’s eyes widened.

I moved forward the foot I had stepped back with.

I took a step.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

I took another step.

Smiley backed away.

And then another.

She looked as though she wanted to yell at me at any moment, but she could only slightly move her lips for fear of provoking Smiley.

Smiley ripped one of the doors off with his claw hand.

At that moment, the elevator doors, which I thought were broken, began closing again.

CRACK!

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Smiley continued backing away slowly at the same pace as my steps.

As I walked forward, I took a Bolt Candy out of my inventory.

Thanks to that, I was able to step out comfortably. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Although, honestly, I would have preferred if he had simply let the doors close.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Then I discreetly dropped it onto the floor.

And fully stepped out of the elevator.

At last, I could see the underground floor that had been hidden behind Smiley’s enormous body.

I held it in my hand.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

There were dozens of enormous machines.

The darkness concealed the far end, but I had the feeling it extended far beyond what I could see.

Yet an eerie silence reigned.

It was a space so vast and so tall that it was impossible to estimate its size at a glance.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

And there were also the employees.

All of them appeared to be shut down.

Hundreds of them.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

All of them stood perfectly still, neatly lined up.

They wore work uniforms of various colors.

And all of them were smiling.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Despite the enormous number of people present, not a single breath could be heard.

Probably because they were no longer people.

A smile so wide that it seemed to have reached its physical limit.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

A toy approximately fifteen meters tall exerted quite a bit of pressure.

The giant Smiley, accompanied by hundreds of employees behind him, looked down at me.

…It was a little frightening.

Even so, for the moment, it was fine.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

The claw picked me up as though I were a prize from a claw machine.

I sensed no hostile intent, so I remained still.

Smiley’s claw hand approached.

Based on all the goodwill the toys of Happy Smile Factory had shown me so far, I concluded that Smiley would not attack first either.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Smiley brought me close to his face.

A mechanical sound came from inside him.

I was lifted into the air like a prize doll.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“Smiley-we-welcome-you-only-you-to-Happy-Smile-Factory-let’s-all-be-happy-happy.”

If Smiley squeezed his hand just a little harder, I would instantly become toy blocks.

Behind that mechanical voice repeating “happy happy,” I could hear children’s laughter and cheers.

A chill ran down my spine.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

Even after coming this far, I still wanted to reach the True Ending.

Strangely, I didn’t feel very afraid.

Perhaps because, like Mo Haein, Smiley was also an NPC I liked.

And yet.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

But I wanted to try until the very end.

“Smiley.”

Maybe it was impossible.

I smiled at him.

Translation of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 6 by Indra Translations.

“Do you want me to kill you?”

Smiley’s death.

The absolute condition for reaching the True Ending.

After voicing the wish that the final boss of Happy Smile Factory desired more than anything else, I waited for his answer.
