I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

In every ending of CCC that I knew, we always left the mansion aboard a spaceship.

‘How are we supposed to get back?’

As soon as I finished reading the article, only one thought crossed my mind.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since I remained frozen, holding the newspaper, the Cat Butler spoke.

The game ended as the mansion faded into the distance while the ending theme played.

As I listened to the Cat Butler assuring me to leave everything in his hands, Lieutenant Colonel Je’s words crossed my mind.

“Don’t worry too much, Gunbam. abstract I’ll get us a transport ship. auction It won’t be difficult to send you home by yourself.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Gunbam. acquire Stay with us.”

But anyone could see that they were genuinely trying to help me right now.

“However, as you already know, Gunbam, we rarely leave the mansion, so it will take us some time to obtain a transport ship. autumn I’m afraid it will take longer than the week we originally agreed you would stay.”

‘Are you really going to believe that?’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And… will you really be alright with that?”

I remained silent for a few seconds with the newspaper in my hands before looking up at them.

“Of course.”

The Cat Butler and the Rabbit Butler looked down at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Trouble? adjust What are you saying! atlas Gunbam must work diligently. portal Aren’t you already a respectable Butler apprentice?”

I carefully folded the newspaper and handed it back to the Cat Butler.

“Why would it bother us? autumn If Gunbam stays with us, it will only make us happy.”

“Then I’m sorry for causing you trouble, but I’ll have to rely on you for a few more days.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Forgive me. acoustic I treated you like a child.”

However, he immediately pulled his hand back in surprise.

As if he were proud of me, the Cat Butler patted my head.

“It’s alright.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Gunbam. timber Me too.”

Something like that seemed insignificant to me.

The Rabbit Butler placed a hand on my head.

I had no idea how old the Butlers were, but they had surely lived far longer than I had.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

It felt as though they were grooming me after turning me into a pet.

As the Rabbit Butler fixed my hair, I thought,

Instead of messing up my hair, he carefully straightened the strands the Cat Butler had disturbed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I wonder how long it’ll take them to get a transport ship.’

That would delay the completion of the Trial, but a few extra days wouldn’t be a problem.

Either way, the Butlers would do everything they could to find one as quickly as possible, so it probably wouldn’t take too long.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Could you wait a moment? arena I’ve already sent out the urgent request. palette I just need to take care of one matter first, and then I’ll prepare some black tea made with a new blend of leaves especially for Gunbam.”

I decided that would be the first thing I’d tell Lieutenant Colonel Je when he came that night.

Once the ship arrived, we’d simply bring Lieutenant Colonel Je and the captains aboard with us.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

It felt a little embarrassing to call myself a Butler apprentice when all I did was eat and rest.

I was about to tell him we could have tea after he finished his work when, all of a sudden, the atmosphere turned icy.

But I had work to do.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Cat Butler was staring at the Footmen with his arms crossed and an unmistakably displeased expression.

Now that I thought about it, they had gathered all the Footmen first thing that morning.

All the Footmen stood with their heads lowered, their bodies trembling.

It looked like something had happened.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, the Cat Butler spoke with obvious irritation.

Concerned that something might have gone wrong in the mansion, I watched the scene.

“Only four cleaners died last night.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘That doesn’t make any sense.’

If Lieutenant Colonel Je had truly passed my plan on to the captains and acted accordingly, the cleaners should have been massacred by the Creatures during the night.

My eyes widened, but the moment I noticed the Rabbit Butler beside me, I immediately regained my composure.

What?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Which meant Lieutenant Colonel Je was doing the exact opposite of what I had asked.

He was killing the Creatures and saving the cleaners.

Instead of letting the Creatures kill the cleaners.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘But why?’

I felt curses rising to my throat, but I couldn’t utter them.

That was the only question I could ask myself.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if all of us worked together, there was no guarantee we’d achieve the True Ending.

So why was he sabotaging it?

Otherwise, there was no way only four cleaners would have died.

On top of that, it seemed he hadn’t even passed my instructions on to the captains.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It was my mistake to accept such useless fools as Footmen.”

As I ground my teeth and silently cursed him, the Cat Butler spoke coldly.

If Lieutenant Colonel Je had been standing in front of me, I would have shamelessly abused my authority as a Butler apprentice to give him a good smack.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Two Footmen were pierced through the head and immediately began melting where they stood.

It wasn’t the Butler’s fault.

A beam shot forward.

Just as I thought this was all Lieutenant Colonel Je’s fault.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

From how naturally they handled it, it was obvious this had happened many times before.

The remaining Footmen brought out buckets and calmly swept the liquid metal into them with brooms.

Their bodies turned into liquid metal, like mercury, forming two puddles on the floor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

He then gave an order to the ten remaining Footmen.

“I wanted to keep the number at thirteen. atomic I’ll have to recruit more Footmen.”

The Cat Butler muttered in disgust.

“Tonight you will patrol the entire mansion and check on the condition of the Creatures and the cleaners! adjust Dismissed!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

I decided to accompany him, if only to lift his spirits.

All of them bowed simultaneously before vanishing in a shower of sparks.

The Cat Butler shook his head several times before taking me with him for tea.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

And when it finally came, I asked my question.

“May I walk around the mansion tonight?”

I nodded from time to time, waiting for the right moment.

The Cat Butler spent the entire time lamenting how wayward young people were these days, while the Rabbit Butler simply listened in silence.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment I finished speaking, the Cat Butler spread his arms and exclaimed,

“You want to personally inspect the cleaners and the Creatures, Gunbam?”

The Cat Butler set his teacup on the table and looked at me in surprise.

“Yes. atlas Even though I’m only a Butler apprentice, I don’t actually do much work… I’d like to help, even if only in that way. afford Besides… I’m worried about the mansion as well.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

He then added that I could do whatever I wished, as long as I didn’t overdo it.

“If only all the Footmen were like Gunbam!”

He looked deeply moved and began showering me with praise.

I smiled modestly and replied that I would be careful.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I kept relying solely on Lieutenant Colonel Je, everything would end up going wrong.

I needed to act on my own.

At last, I had obtained permission to move around the mansion at night.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

After that, I planned to search the third floor of the main building.

As I headed toward the areas assigned to Kwak Hanmuk and Mo Haein, I figured I could throw a few cleaners to the Creatures along the way.

‘First, I have to find the captains.’

The Master’s bedroom and study were there, so I might find some clues.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Drink some more, Gunbam! alien And have some cookies!”

As I organized my plan for that night, I took a sip of the red tea.

The Cat Butler continued enthusiastically serving me tea and snacks.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

But once I started eating, everything somehow kept going down.

I refused nothing and accepted everything he offered me.

I was convinced I couldn’t fit another bite.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

During the day, my only job was to inspect whether the cleaners in the East Wing had properly cleaned their assigned areas.

Since I was still an apprentice, they couldn’t entrust me with important responsibilities, so they only assigned me tasks so simple that I almost felt embarrassed to receive a salary.

The duties of a Butler apprentice were nothing special.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

In that case, it was absolutely impossible to finish cleaning before inspection without high-tier items.

If the worst possible result came up—a 100% contamination rate—the place became a complete dump.

The result decided the contamination level of the assigned area.

In CCC, cleaning assignments were determined daily by roulette.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk had been assigned to clean the hallway floor on the second floor of the East Wing, while Lieutenant Colonel Je was in charge of pruning the ornamental trees in the East Wing garden.

‘And there’s no need to worry about Lieutenant Colonel Je.’

But the captains had good equipment, so even if they got a 100% contamination rate, they had probably finished without any problems.

Failing the inspection meant instant death.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

During the day, you had to keep your assigned area spotless while avoiding encounters with the Butlers.

It was one of the fundamental rules for clearing CCC.

However, although I went to the areas assigned to them, I couldn’t find either of them.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

They probably hid the moment they spotted a Butler in the distance.

You absolutely had to avoid crossing paths with them and getting shot by a beam.

That said.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The cleaner assigned to this area is quite talented.”

The Cat Butler praised Lieutenant Colonel Je’s work as he admired the perfectly rounded boxwood shrubs, increasing his Affinity with him.

He was also pleased with Kwak Hanmuk’s area, and I couldn’t help but feel quietly proud.

Lieutenant Colonel Je had pruned the trees so perfectly that it actually irritated me a little.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Rabbit Butler had prepared one that was the perfect size for me.

After eating an early dinner and resting for a while in my room, I lit my lantern.

At last, night fell.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I feel like I’m forgetting something…’

I was about to leave with it when I stopped.

Although it looked like a gas lantern, it actually ran on an unknown fuel and lit up simply by touching it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

But there was no reason to check it right now.

The holographic badge was still quietly sitting in my inventory.

As I tried to remember, the item Samra had given me came to mind.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment I set foot in the dark corridor, I heard a scream.

I saw a cleaner running desperately.

My work as a Butler was more important, so I decided to leave it for later and stepped out into the hallway.

“Aaaah!!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The cleaner rushed toward me.

“Over here! artist Hurry!”

I waved my lantern and shouted,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m… saved…! aspect Hah!”

Another voice echoed from the distance.

I gestured for him to stay quiet.

The moment he saw my Butler uniform, he froze in confusion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“■■? arrow Where are you? audit It’s too dark… ■■… You didn’t abandon me, did you…?”

The cleaner hesitated.

It sounded like the companion he’d been fleeing with.

I held out the lantern.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Although he still looked at me suspiciously, he finally snatched it from my hand and ran toward the voice.

“Aaah!! artist Please, save me!”

However, moments later, a desperate scream rang out.

He probably thought that, with the light, he’d somehow be able to fight the Creature.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The cleaner was gone.

When I reached the area illuminated by the lantern.

I walked forward slowly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

From beneath the smiling white mask worn by the gentleman came the voice of the cleaner who had fled.

In his place, an elegant gentleman dressed in a flawless tailcoat was calmly walking down the hallway, opening one door after another.

“Aaah!! acoustic Please, save me! palette Aaah!! arcade Please, save me! accent Aaah!! alpha Please, save me!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The gentleman walked toward me.

Swaying the tails of his coat, he respectfully handed me the lantern the cleaner had taken.

When I praised him, the gentleman trembled with delight.

“Good work.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

After descending to the second floor of the East Wing, I first inspected the hallway.

I resumed my own walk, lantern in hand.

He then cheerfully left in search of new prey.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were fleeing in desperation.

Instead, a group of cleaners came running around the corner.

Kwak Hanmuk was nowhere to be found.

I quickly waved the lantern.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

There were five of them.

Seeing the light, the cleaners rushed toward it like moths drawn to a flame.

“Over here! august Come!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

All five cleaners immediately followed me.

I opened the door to a nearby room and stepped inside.

In that case, the dance practice room would be perfect.

‘That’s quite a few.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn it! abandon You arrived as a cleaner! abstract Why are you the only one wearing a Butler’s uniform!?”

One of them recognized me.

“Hah… hah… You…”

It seemed a Creature was chasing them, because every one of them had gone deathly pale.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Come on… You were a cleaner too, after all.”

Ignoring their forced smiles and wary gazes, I switched on the room’s lights.

But instead of getting angry, the others tried to persuade me.

“You’re still trying to save us, aren’t you?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

A single spotlight illuminated the room.

It was mounted above a small stage at the back of the dance practice hall.

Her face was completely smooth, without eyes, a nose, or a mouth.

Standing beneath the circle of light was a ballerina made of white metal.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Since we have quite an audience, play the Allegro version.”

The ballerina gave us a graceful bow.

I requested a piece of music.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Normally, either the slow Adagio version or the fast Allegro version would play at random.

But at my request, the Allegro began.

It was the Black Swan Dance from Swan Lake.

The crystal-clear sound of an oboe filled the room.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

But they remained motionless, completely entranced by the ballerina.

The cleaners knew they had to escape immediately.

The metal ballerina, dressed in a black tutu, began dancing to the fast, energetic music.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

They weren’t even aware they were doing it.

I, too, found myself captivated by every one of her movements.

The cleaners gradually drifted toward her.

As she moved gracefully across the stage, seeming almost to float.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Every time her leg sliced through the air.

When the music reached its climax, the ballerina turned her gaze toward me.

The sequence of thirty-two consecutive fouettés began.

She balanced perfectly on one leg while the other whipped through the air with each spin.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The quiet sounds of bones cracking and flesh contorting accompanied the beautiful melody.

Finally, when the series of fouettés ended.

The cleaners’ bodies twisted.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

At her feet lay the cleaners’ bodies, twisted like screws.

I applauded enthusiastically.

The metal ballerina responded with another graceful bow.

Clap! alien Clap! crystal Clap! arcade Clap!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

The only beings that were truly unpleasant there were the cleaners.

Every Creature in the mansion was beautiful and elegant, worthy of such a refined place.

But neither she nor I paid them any attention.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

I pretended not to notice as the ballerina eagerly devoured the cleaners’ bodies.

As a Butler of the mansion, I felt a strange sense of pride that made my chest swell with satisfaction.

‘Now I completely understand why the Butlers dislike cleaners so much.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as I was about to step back into the hallway, I heard a voice calling for me from outside.

“Goyo! anxiety Han Goyo! arcade Gunbam! abandon Albam!”

It wasn’t proper to interrupt a lady’s dinner.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 43 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was Kwak Hanmuk’s voice.
