Chapter 107 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 107

The regressor narrator reflects on his lifelong quest for the perfect guild hideout, driven by a traumatic memory of being raided in the 89th cycle by the pink-haired alien, Go Yuri. Haunted by her mocking laughter, he seeks a sanctuary that offers both impenetrable security and high-end comfort, a combination that has historically proven impossible. He consults Lee Ha-yul, a puppeteer expert capable of weaving aura-based security systems. Ha-yul expresses skepticism, noting that his demands for a luxurious, accessible space with perfect defense are contradictory, akin to expecting five-star service in a nuclear submarine. The narrator dismisses her concerns, revealing he is considering an unconventional approach involving anomalies. The inspiration for his new design strikes during the 196th cycle while he sits by the Han River. A disoriented young man on a mountain bike arrives, misled by a rumor spread on the SG Net forum that a famous café exists in the area. The narrator realizes the rumors were fabricated competitively by Dang Seo-rin (WitchJudge) and Cheon Yo-hwa (FourthGrader), who had posted photos of their own visits, further amplified by posts from Sim Ah-ryeon (OldManGoryeo). Delighted by the coincidence, the narrator offers the stranger coffee. The encounter reveals a simple, profound desire: the narrator has always wanted to run a café. He realizes this is the missing element—the perfect hideout must be a café, combining accessibility with security. He returns to Lee Ha-yul with the idea, proposing to integrate the anomaly known as the Inunaki Tunnel, located in the waters off Busan, into the hideout’s design. Ha-yul is baffled but agrees to assist. The narrator travels to the tunnel, a Japanese-origin anomaly characterized by aggressive graffiti and hostility. He embarks on a lengthy, months-long campaign to establish communication. Initially, he attempts to appease or provoke it with offerings like meat dumplings, human dolls, and magical girl figurines, all of which are rejected or destroyed. He then resorts to psychological warfare, plastering the tunnel walls with thousands of magical girl posters and blasting anime soundtracks 24/7, annoying his allies like Noh Do-hwa and the Saintess. After weeks of relentless noise and visual bombardment, the tunnel’s behavior shifts. The graffiti begins to change, evolving from threats to polite requests, indicating the anomaly has learned to use polite Japanese honorifics. By cycle 77, the inscriptions read 'Please don't come' and 'Please go back,' showing it understands respect and desire for solitude. The narrator interprets this as successful persuasion. He explains that the tunnel’s desire to remain isolated and hidden, combined with its physical properties, makes it the ideal foundation for a secure café. The chapter ends with the narrator installing a sign at the tunnel entrance announcing the 'Café Hideout' is 'New Opening Soon,' having successfully merged his dream of a café with a fortress-like security system derived from the anomaly's own defensive instincts.
