It was so intense at week 13 that week 14 was able to live a very relaxed life. And this afternoon, the end of all formal education at the Academy was declared. The only official schedule that remained was the graduation ceremony scheduled for tomorrow morning.
“Brother, do it. ”
“Ah.”
“Is it good?”
“Yes, it's delicious. ”
“Oh my! Mercenary Road? This is a joint restaurant! ”
Transl a t ed by jpmtl.co m When Hanbyol, who was sitting next to me, swallowed the food, a high-toned voice hit my ear. As I turned my head in the direction of the sound, I could see Sung Yoobin smiling with a happy face.
“Keloc. Keloc. ”
“Brother, have some water. ”
“Me, I'll drink it. Give it to me."
Sung Yoobin raised his voice and laughed because he thought it was fun to look embarrassed.
“Haha! Oh my. I'm joking.You don't have to react so harshly. ”
“Haha. Excuse me. ”
T ranslated by jp m t l.com “I'm just kidding, really. Then why did you two become so close all of a sudden? I mean, it looks like you two are dating. ”
“Seong Yoobin! ”
“He's hardly an officer. Call me sis. ”
When I looked at Han Star pretending to avoid Sung Yoo Bin's gaze, I could see her head lowered. I told her not to look at me unless she was confident in the first place, but fortunately, she was following me.
“Tsk. I can see they're treating me like a distraction. Okay, I'm already gone. ”
“Ah, Euvin. Wait a minute."
“Yes?”
“I joined a group of Northern Clans last night. I was told that there were several vacant lands in Barbara. If you don't mind me asking, do you think I could get some data on him? ”
In my words, Sung Yoobin tilted his head. And then, "Ah. ’I touched my palm with my face.
“Oh! Yes, there is. I'll send the details to Hanbyol for you. Don't worry."
“Thank you."
“Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony, so I want to prepare in advance.” I wanted to say it, but I decided to quit because I think I'm getting ahead of myself. Soon, Sung Yoobin waved his hands and left us, saying, "Have fun." And as she stepped out of the restaurant, Hanbyol looked up at the floor.
“Phew.”
Hanbyol breathes as if he was holding his breath. After I blinked and Bibi took the spoon from her, I started eating again.
Soon after, Hanbyol looks around and whispers.
T rans la t ed by Jp mt l.co m “But did I even have to say I was in a meeting in the North? ”
“She's a suspicious woman. We need to expose a lot of situations to make them believe. If you give me the data, don't pick it up. ”
“Yes, I think I can get it today. ”
“Why?”
“You just paged me before you left. ”
Hanbyol said, "I lost my sight." For some reason, I thought Lee had too much action. I nodded once or twice before speaking.
“Perfect timing. I promised to meet him after dinner. I'll see you at my place later. ”
“Then I'll get up first. ”
“Yes. Be careful not to get caught. ”
“Yes.”
Hanbyol, who answered in a quiet voice, cautiously got up and walked out of the restaurant.
‘I'm looking forward to tomorrow. ’
I was left alone, stirring up a few leftover meatballs and digging into one.
Since setting up a position with Seo Jin-woo and Seong-hyun, Hanbyol's face became noticeably brighter. As you can see from her tendencies, hope seems to come down and revive while living only in despair and wounds.
At that time, we were able to come up with a detailed plan. Hanbyol put his name on the drop list that would blow up the day of graduation. And I decided to smoke for the rest of the day so that I wouldn't show any nonsense in the Golden Lion. Pretending to sleep with Hanbyol, pretending to be friends with the Golden Lion and the Friendly Clan. We decided to pretend literally.
Tr a ns l a te d b y Jpmt l .c om To be honest, I felt a bit funny. But today is also the last time for this silly clown's play. I commend myself for being patient, and I threw the meatballs into my mouth.
*
I was supposed to go to my accommodation a little earlier, but I was so happy to meet Han and listen to him, and my time was running out. Thanks to him, tomorrow's graduation ceremony became even more exciting.
When I entered the room with my heart still, I saw Hanbyol sitting on the bed and opening my instructor's uniform. She glances at me, slightly lifting her head, if I felt the approach coming in. As she approaches, Hanbyol gives a kind of signal, his eyes glaring. I immediately activated the third eye and magic detection.
‘On the ceiling. Line up. On the floor. Line wrap. Line wrap, square wrap. Are they crazy?’
I sighed deeply and lay in bed. Hanbyol, who had just organized his instructor outfit, opened his mouth by handing me a chunky record.
“You said that in the restaurant. Officer Sung Yoobin asked me to pass it on. ”
“Oh, yeah. Tell him thank you.”
I worked hard on the records for a while. Did you interpret my words freely (although I did give you room to do so.) It was a record introducing the products that could be bought or built in a clan house. But I thought it was cheaper than I thought, as if I cared. Yeah, well, the price of the big city didn't go anywhere.
As I was reading the records for a while, I felt the quiet movement of one of the stars. At this time, rectangles placed up and down are not used for video recording. I was able to read the information for recording communication footage. In other words, it was for interactive use where voice and movement are conveyed in real time. I began to slowly get up after a brief mourning for the chorus patient who was expecting to come out of Hanbyol while clicking and swallowing the needle. I thought it was really sad.
“This is the last day. ”
“I see.”
“Too bad for you. Would you like to take a walk? ”
“Isn't it too late? There's a graduation ceremony tomorrow. Just sleep. ”
“Come on, let's get out of here. Sometimes it's good to play outdoors. ”
Tr a nsl a t ed b y jpmt l.co m Hanbyol replied without hesitation and was pairing up by himself. I grabbed her arm, pretending not to, and forced her out. And the moment the door closed, the two of us sighed at the same time. Perhaps Hanbyol was just thinking the same thing as me.
“Are you still in doubt? ”
“I think he wants to make sure. But I almost believe it. ”
“Bitch.”
“Yes?”
“Oh, it's nothing. ”
I moved my feet, roughly speaking. Then I went out of the house, retracing the path I had just walked on. I really wanted to go for a walk because I really needed to spend more time than I did.
For a moment, Hanbyol and I walked quietly. Where I'm going now is Easter Egg. It was the only place in the user academy where Jungnami fell apart.
Soon, I could hear Hanbyol's elasticity as I went through the bushes and arrived at Easter Egg. This was the second time I brought her here. Hanbyol was showing a fresh reaction to coming here in no time.
We walked to the center without saying a word. I closed my eyes and took a breath of fresh air as usual, and a strange voice came from behind my back.
“Brother.”
“Yes.”
“Thank you for your help. I really, really appreciate it. ”
“You're welcome. And there's still a day left, but congratulations in advance. ”
“Yes... ”
I can feel something squirming behind me. I took a deep breath once or twice, then opened my mouth with a throwing tone.
“I think you have something to say. ”
“… Yes. ”
“Go ahead, then. Maybe now or never. Just like you used to do in front of the cabin. ”
Hanbyol flinches on his slightly touching back. I laughed my heart out.
“Can I really do this? ”
“Yes.”
“Then promise me you won't get angry, and you won't think anything strange. ”
“What is that? ”
“Because what I want to say is that you won't have any sympathy at all. And I feel kind of weird myself. ”
What the hell are you trying to say? Anyway, it's the last day of the Academy. I thought it would be better if I let her say what she wants to say. And I was curious to hear what he personally said. I'm like, “Go ahead.” I replied.
Despite my permission, a silent silence came upon me. However, the time was not that long.
“Do you remember your time at the user academy? ”
“Ah.”
“Do you think I left my brother then? ”
“ ……. ”
“At that time, I thought, I was waiting for him. Someone.”
I kept waiting. I did not identify anyone, but I could intuitively tell that the target was a country. Soon, Hanbyol's voice began to flow out beautifully like a song's finger.
“I know. I brought it on myself. But I expected you to find out for once. I once waited for him to come. ”
“ ……. ”
“I don't want special treatment. But at least the attention other kids get. No, it's not. You can trust me. I was hoping that with this one word, someone would try to force me to go. Then they'd be dragged away pretending not to win. ”
“Wha... ”
I tried to question what nonsense I was talking, but I kept my mouth shut. It was over anyway, and Hanbyol was arguing beforehand whether he felt ashamed of himself. I smiled bitterly and asked myself a question.
“I have one question. ”
“Yes.”
“You know it's innocent, right? Why are you so sharp with him? ”
“I was jealous and jealous. She was never interested in anything that I didn't get from her brother. Like those kids. ”
"He's got a childish side. ’
In Hanbyol's confession, I burst into laughter. I don't like to talk back. In the old days, I would have been flabby and beaten one by one, but I just smiled at the star that gave me a lot of courage to say this. He's probably ashamed of himself by now.
It seemed like it was time to go back. Based on your experience with classics, you can see that it has been about time since you played outdoors once. At least you won't think it's worth it.
“Yes, I heard you. I won't say anything like I promised. Anyway, I want you to forget all the sad memories. And tomorrow we'll have a fresh start. ”
“I'm still worried. I wonder if I can do it well. ”
“It might be a little difficult. But it's human nature. Anyway, let's go inside. ”
The past was the moment I wanted to walk again after finishing up here. At that moment, I felt Hanbyol's hand gripping my arm.
“Brother, there's more. ”
“You too... ”
“I'm sorry."
“ ……? ”
Suddenly, an unexpected Hanbyol apology stops my steps. And slowly turned around. There, there was a star staring at me in the bright moonlight. Soon I could see her fluttering lips open.
“Brother, I'm sorry. ”
“Hanbyol.”
“I was... wrong. ”
“You.”
“I know how you feel about me. But I don't think I can say it again unless you say it now. I wanted to apologize and ask for your forgiveness the whole time I was away. Brother, I'm so sorry. Forgive me."
Hanbyol's voice was silent for a moment. But in her eyes, as she looked straight at my face, a single tear was flowing down her eyes. I stare at Hanstar with a blank face, and I reach out my hand and wipe her tears. Soon after, Hanstar held me like a magnet as he moved his hand to his shoulder and pulled it slightly.
Hanbyol's body in my arms was thin. No, I could see it was thin, not a little thin. I patted her on the back for a moment, then whispered to Hanbyol, who was silently burying her face.
“It's not my fault, it's not your fault. ”
“ ……. ”
“It's just, I think we were on different paths from each other. It's just that I don't think you betrayed me. ”
I don't know what it's like from the kids' point of view, but at least from my current point of view, I really think so. Hanbyol chose the Golden Lion, and I chose myself. I don't want to have a big impact on that choice now. They just left because they didn't fit together. Perhaps if I were the Gimhanbyol of the time, I would also have chosen the Golden Lion. No more, no less.
“Thank you so much…. And I'm sorry... ”
Hanbyol's voice grabs my ear. The moonlight and the wind shining on the Easter Egg are breezy on the grassy fields. I hugged a woman who was crying out loud, and the last night went deeper.
*
The last day of the user academy was bright. I woke up early today, but I did it on purpose. The graduation ceremony is quite boring because it was full of bothersome things if I went there early.
Suddenly, I turned my head and saw an empty Hanbyol bed, which left earlier than I did. I thought about what happened with her last night for a moment, but I packed some equipment for Juju Island. As I took off my instructor outfit and wore the equipment for a while, I felt a new feeling.
About the time I felt like this was over, I moved slowly to the Great Hall. I could see a lot of users on the way to the target point. Although the western hemisphere showed a pattern, the majority was dominated by the north-western clans. Perhaps there was something else in the Golden Lion.
“But the new Hall Plane that we're about to meet is so complex, so dangerous, and dizzy. Many organizations, clans, each other... ”
As you get closer to the Great Hall, you hear a strange sound. As I made quick steps in my curiosity, I could see a rare scene unfolding on the stage.
“We are called new users. But today, I graduated with the word" new in wealth. "Hole Plain has the capacity to exercise its individual rights. We happened in this situation. To hold those who do not abandon those who suffer, who turn away from weakness. An organization that can stand with the weak.... ”
Clearly the graduation ceremony is over. However, Park Hwang Hee was speaking on stage after the graduation ceremony. The friendly clans, including the Golden Lion, turned their heads, all smiling subtly, and a handful of Southeast Instructors took a punch.
“So 217 people, including myself, who are the representatives of these new users, will not be joining any clan. We agreed to take our own actions to maintain neutrality. Some of you may not like it, but we will do our best to contribute to the development of the North. Thank you."
Soon after the speech ended, a thunderous applause began to sound. Park Hwan-hee walked down from the stage and bowed his head, and the applause only grew louder. And a new crowd of chattering people started swarming around him.
‘Roughly understood. ’
Park Hwang-hee clearly ordered his own move. But it would be for a foreign cause. Inside, it was clear that they had made a deal with another clan, as they had heard before. I can only surmise when I see users from several SSUN clans walking around him right now congratulating me. As a group, they decided to go to the western city and take up residence.
Park Hwang-hee seemed distracted while receiving greetings around her, but she could see her hands waving with a bright smile that she had found someone. Then he hurried through the crowds around him and started running. It was like he was really welcoming and welcoming.
Soon after, he turned his gaze in the direction he was facing, there was Cha Yoona who was also waving her hands. I could also see the silent walking beside him.
‘I listened to my brother and I thought a lot. And I could make up my mind. ’
‘But I'm too upset to just walk away without saying anything. ’
Looking closely at his face, he has a light smile on his mouth. But I'm the only one who knows what that smile means.
Looking at them for a moment, I also started walking slowly towards you.
