Chapter 531 00531 Big decision.

In the dining room.

A woman gathers her long legs together, raising a cup of tea with a slight rise of white steam. Teacups slowly tilt as the inviting pink lips are engaged.

Odd.

“Huh?"

The first inhalation opened the eyes of the woman slightly.

Hooray.

T r a n sl ated by jpｍt l.com “Mmmm!”

The second inhale brings a satisfactory smile to my mouth. The woman looked at me with her head held high. The tea tastes puffy and satisfying. I can see it smiling beautifully with fresh eyes.

“Wow. The tea tastes like crap. I run a traditional teahouse in the modern world, and I've never tasted it before! ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm curious about the ingredients and who made them. ”

“ ……. ”

“... Yes. I usually enjoy the view of a man. But say something. I'm so embarrassed to see you like that. ”

T ran s la te d by jpmtl.c oｍ “ ……. ”

The woman shrugs slightly. And once again, the car. I had to see that woman, or Jegal seaweed, and feel her running away. What the hell is going on?

I quickly organized my thoughts. The situation itself is simple.

After receiving verbal communication and report from Seung Woo Cho, I moved straight to the reception room where I was escorting guests. And in the reception room, Jegal's seaweed was suddenly sitting waiting for me.

Yeah, but that's all there is to it.

“You…. What the hell?”

Maybe what you're saying is a perfect representation of how I feel.

At that time, Jegal Hassol clearly said something similar to goodbye. I decided the recruitment had failed, so I ordered a hit.

Thought it was all over, but he appeared before the stars. I mean, I ended up in the machine at my own feet, but I honestly didn't expect it to happen. I feel like a fish caught in a puddle.

A moment later, the head of the seagull tilts at an angle.

“Oh. Half talk? ”

At that moment, I hit the table hard.

Bang!

“Make fun of it. User nested hash. ”

With the table shaking, Jegal's seaweed trembles. Immediately, Jegal Hassol opened his eyes wide and said with a voice that he was grimacing and grimacing.

T ransla t e d by ｊp ｍt l .c om “Oh, my God. I'm sorry if I'm mad. But I never made fun of him, and I never meant to. ”

“Then why does it look like I want to play games with you now? Custom Custom Hash Solution? ”

“I know. I'm not an educator anymore.... And if that's what you're saying, I'd say it was no joke. ”

“Of course.”

As soon as I tried to tell him what it meant, I kept my mouth shut. Jegal Hassol was looking at me with his polite, vague eyes. As if you were observing slowly.

Suddenly, a report of salmon struck my mind.

'… and be careful. I don't think she's a slut. I approached him carelessly, but he almost caught me.'

“I felt it less than 20 minutes after I left the user academy. ”

Tak, the seaweed of Jegal, who carefully lowered the cup of tea, naturally spoke.

“Oh, what a scary world this is. ”

The moment I heard that, I felt my heart swell. It was because Jegal's tone of voice was very meaningful to just listen and hand over. Of course, I've done things. Those creamy bastards. They really haven't been caught, have they?

Anyway, more excitement than I needed, I calmly took a breath. Okay, let's calm down. I may have gone beyond my expectations, but first I have to face reality.

Then pretend you don't know.

“... First of all, I apologize for what I just said. He thought he was making fun of me. Anyway, there are definitely some who are after newborns. Okay, I understand that. ”

“Hmph.”

“But then why did you come to my clan? ” T ransla t e d by ｊp ｍtl.ｃo ｍ

“Yes? What is it? ”

“If that's how the user Jegal Hassol felt, wouldn't it be right to go to Istantell Row and explain the situation and ask for protection? There was only one clan to recruit. ”

“Hmm?”

For a moment, there was a silence.

Later, Jegal, who was gazing at me, asked with a curious voice.

“How did you know that...? So what?”

“ ……? ”

“I certainly felt that it could be dangerous on its own. So I had to find a place to leave my body, and I just chose a machine. Is that so weird? ”

“No. So why? ”

“Now, from the point of view of a user named Jegal Hassol, who just came out of Hall Plain, because they value money more than Istanbul Low. It's a very personal idea, of course. ”

“ ……. ”

I kept my mouth shut. It is because there is no room for flaws.

“Well, there's nothing tempting about the speech I heard at graduation. No, actually, it's the biggest. There's a huge difference here. When I heard that, I was suddenly distracted. ”

Jegal's seaweed slightly sticks out his tongue and smiles and takes a sip of tea. I quietly tapped the table.

T rans l a te d by jp ｍ t l.ｃoｍ “So, in the end, I'm going to join the Mercenary Clan. You mean this.”

“Yes, I'm going to take the entrance exam if I have to. ”

The strangled seaweed, which clicked against the collar, replied with a clear voice.

I thought about it quietly.

*

(Right, so you're still treating him as a guest?)

Late afternoon. A red sunset comes in through the window, splashing red on the office desk. On the desk, a small crystal sphere emits a bright light. I said, getting closer to the person whose face the crystal ball shines.

“That's right. Something's not quite right to accept." I can't even read your mind. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. ”

(Hmmph. I'm so proud of you...))

“Why?”

(It's just, it's a little weird.)

“You too, right? ”

(No, no. I'm not saying that Jegal Hassol is weird, I'm saying you're weird.)

At that, I stared at a blank crystal sphere.

The brother looks up, thinking for a moment, then smiles brightly.

(Soo-hyun, don't just tell me the truth. You seem to be overreacting.)

“No. I'm not unwilling to accept it, I'm sure.... ”

(This or that. You're still hesitating. Don't try to rationalize yourself in a way that's good for you. That's a really bad habit.)

“ ……. ”

(You still don't understand. All right, let me ask you this: leaving you and your enemy in the first car, was that a strange user named Jegal Hassol? How embarrassing for you? Like betraying Clan Lord.)

“… No. ”

I replied truthfully. Rather than betrayal, it was my solution to protect Yoohyun's side by sprinkling numerous recruitment offerings.

So, what was the notoriety? Like you ate something cruel you couldn't as a human being.)

Not even that. I slowly slide my head across.

(So you're a user without any defects after all?)

“That's true. ”

(That's not the point. And in the end, that's what you're afraid of. You're afraid of a user named Jegal Hassol.)

“… scared? Me?"

(Yes. Jegal Hassol showed the best potential in a single car. And now you have a lot of accomplishments. The seaweed that the two elements would come together, you assumed to be a monster. That means you were afraid of raising an uncontrollable user by your hand. Isn't it?)

“That's …. ”

I wanted to say no, but my brother's words were pricking.

(To be honest, you're awfully stuffy. I don't even understand why you're thinking that. Think about it this way. There's an open road in front of you. And there's someone who wants to walk that path with you. Then let's just go. Yeah, all you have to do is take a step, look around, knock on the floor, and search the body of the person you're going with. And I took another step, and I repeated that step again.)

“ ……. ”

(Then what will the user who goes with you think of you? Huh? We can walk together and feel good once in a while.)

“Brother.”

Clearly, the passage is right, but why does it make me feel sad? So I barely opened my mouth, and my brother quickly shook his head. Like you want me to listen to you a little more.

(Soo-hyun, your heart knows, when you choose to come back from the first car twice. If you think about what you were thinking back then, I think I know a little bit about why you had that attitude. But it's clearly different from what you know and what's right.)

I suddenly felt a strange strangeness when I heard his voice that was not strict. However, even before I realized the identity of the peculiarity, my brother's face came closer.

(Now it's two, not one.... I won't say anything else. But I want you to know one thing. As long as you trust me, and as long as I trust you. At least, for once, I want you to trust someone else.)

Faith.

*

After communicating with my brother, I closed my eyes and buried myself deep in the chair. And I was deep in thought.

"Oh, what a scary world. '

'We can walk together and feel good once in a while.'

'… so I just chose a machine. Is that so weird?'

'As much as you trust me, as I trust you.'

How much time has passed.

When the ground spider slowly entered the red light of the table.

I opened my eyes and raised my upper body vigorously. I immediately opened the drawer and looked down at the neatly organized attendance.

Maybe the next thing you know, after the second round, you're gonna deny me the path I've been on.

But if it's not, or if I'm wrong.

Maybe we should give it a try, like my brother said. Even if it's the biggest gamble of my whole life.

I did not hesitate to press the call seat anymore, and I instructed Seon Yoon to bring the Jegal seaweed waiting in the room.

And in less than three minutes, I could see Jegal's seaweed walking in.

“You wanted to see me?”

I threw out three records without saying a word. Records fly through the air in a straight line, and Jegal Hassol captures records with skill.

“This... ”

“One is an application to join the Mercenary Clan and the other is an application to change the status of a free mercenary. There's a meeting in the morning, so be sure to submit it. ”

“Oh? And the other one? ”

“This is a student registration form for the Mercenary Academy. This is just a formality, but you might want to fill it out. ”

At that moment, Jegal Hassol opened his eyes and quietly stared at me.

I actually have a lot to say. But with all that pressure, I reached out my hand calmly.

Jegal seaweed opened his mouth.

“Of course.”

“I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long.... It's late, so you can go today. I will instruct you to arrange accommodations right now, so please feel free. ”

“Yes, yes? ”

“Welcome to the Machinery. ”

It was only for a short while, but the seaweed that was looking at me shook my eyes slightly.

But it was, literally, for a moment.

Soon, the white hand of Jegal's seaweed grabs my wrist. I then follow my hand, forcefully sweeping down my hand. Soft friction in the palm of your hand.

What does this mean? A new way to shake hands?

Suddenly, when I look up, I hide my appearance from the visit....

No, the steps of Jegal's seaweed on the way out stopped. Then, I squinted one eye as I held out my head tightly. At the same time, raise your pursed palm and kiss your mouth for a sound.

“Thank you! Thank you! ”

And look at me. "Whew.” Blow it out. You must have seen it somewhere.

As I felt the motion of Jegal's seaweed rapidly drifting away, I sighed deeply and looked up at the ceiling.

Why is my whole body powerless? I don't feel like I've been in a violent battle, but I'm exhausted. I just want to sleep like this.

It was then.

- Hey.

Suddenly, a voice came from within.

I was about to close my eyes, but I was surprised. This voice....

“Ma'am?"

- Huff. In the meantime, I... You son of a bitch!

And that moment.

Boom!

In front of me, there was a spark.

In fact, I'm strangely stuck today. And if you have a middle block, you have a middle block, and today you have a middle block from start to finish. I feel like I'm in a real tight spot. You can't do this. OTL.

Anyway, I'm going to start writing with more energy tomorrow.

It's late at night. We appreciate your patience and wish you a pleasant evening.:)
