Episode 647: Coming out (5)

I’ve known for a long time that Hyeonbyeol was suspicious of my identity.

In the first place, there was a time when I openly asked Baekho Lee this when I was not around.

[Why do you keep asking me if my brother is Bjorn Yandel?]

There were three main reasons for Hyeonbyeol’s argument that I heard later.

[…I know exactly when my brother came here.]

period.

[Among the explorers who came during that period, none rose to prominence as much as Bjorn Yandel.]

Growth power.

[…My brother used to talk to me about games a lot. Saying that Shield Baba is the best and all.]

Shield Baba.

Many circumstances point to my true identity as Bjorn Yandel.

But, I still don’t understand it.

“Why aren’t you answering, brother?”

To meet ‘Bjorn Jandel’ in person and come out like that, it would be impossible with ordinary confidence.

How was Hyeonbyeol able to gain confidence?

“What, looking up and down, it looks like you’re thinking about running away again?”

Or are you just trying to float?

I think so, but considering Hyeonbyeol’s personality, I think that’s unlikely to happen.

‘Ah, but the evil spirit can’t rush in and say it has to break the head…’

It was a time when I was in a difficult situation where I couldn’t do either this or that.

“I gave you enough clues, but there’s no way you still don’t know who I am… Is it that difficult for you to take off your mask in front of me?”

Soon I made a decision.

To be honest, there aren’t just one or two people who know that Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.

To put it bluntly, it’s not like Hyeonbyeol is someone you can’t trust.

Trudging.

I took a step closer to Hyeonbyeol to prevent the sound from spreading.

“How on earth did you find out?”

When I asked her what she was curious about as she took off the invisible mask she wore over her face, Hyeonbyeol smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

“Actually, I wasn’t sure until the end.”

“…what?”

But you did something so dangerous?

If you had investigated me, you would have also found out about the secret police agent who was taken away while spying on me, right?

“Don’t look at me like I’m pathetic. Still, I wore a mask and made some preparations.”

“Oh, right. What on earth was that mask?”

“Didn’t you already notice?”

“Are you really black?”

“yes that’s right.”

This is truly a shocking truth.

Aside from how he got into the round table, why didn’t I know that before?

“Anyway, I thought I would react in some way if I wore this mask. “It was like that in reality.”

“…I reacted?”

“yes. Is it still the same? “If you’re startled, close your eyes for a moment.”

“uh….”

Did I have a habit like that?

I don’t know, but I think we’ll have to be careful in the future.

“Anyway, that reaction gave me a little more courage. Otherwise, I might have just turned around and run away.”

“…No, why are you doing it like that?”

“Then why did you do that?”

“What am I?”

“At that time, you asked me in a scary way. Who do I work for? “It’s as if he’s going to kill anyone.”

uh….

That was it.

But that was because I was afraid I might make him do something wrong…

“Well, that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it…”

Soon, Hyeonbyeol looked up at me and spoke firmly.

“But you were the one who crossed the line first.”

“….”

When it comes out like this, I have nothing to say.

Whatever the reason, isn’t it a bit funny to get angry that the other person is trying to find out your true identity when you forced yourself to find out your true identity?

“under….”

So rather than reprimanding Hyeonbyeol, I decided to do something more productive.

Yeah, for example.

“So how did you get into the Round Table? “Did you get help from GM?”

“yes. “He thought it would help him find out who his brother was, so he asked me to find a way to get it.”

“So what information came from the round table? “Did you hear all of that from GM?”

“no. “I found out all of this myself, right?”

Soon, I recalled the information that Black Mask had spat out at the round table one by one.

There were two that had the greatest impact.

[Other than opening the door to the abyss, another way to return to Earth is dimensional magic.] [It was because Auril Garvis used this method that he was able to come to Earth.]

Ah, now that I think about it, there is more to it than this…

[Bjorn Yandel… and Misha Karlstein… were they really dating as rumored?]

This isn’t information he was spitting out, he was just asking me a question at the end, so let’s just move on.

‘…I was already almost certain from this point on.’

Anyway, how on earth was Hyeonbyeol, who is not an explorer, able to obtain such advanced information?

“I told you this before. Countess Peprock trusts me very much. “She helped me with all the tasks and gave me many opportunities to gain information.”

“…I see.”

I wonder if it is possible to obtain such information just by gaining some trust, but since Hyeonbyeol is so smart, I think he would have done it well.

So, I just nodded my head in understanding.

“brother.”

Suddenly, Hyeonbyeol speaks to me in a serious voice as if making a declaration.

“I’m different from gangsters like Lee Baek-ho.”

It sounded a bit unexpected. However, I could immediately understand what was being said in the explanation that followed.

“I have no intention of being carried by my brother like him. So, from now on, just stay calm and don’t cause trouble.”

Soon, Hyeonbyeol looks at me and speaks powerfully.

“Because I will somehow find a way to bring her brother back.”

These were words that were reassuring just to hear them.

but….

‘I don’t really want to go back…?’

How should I say this…?

***

As for the results, I couldn’t tell you.

You might not have known it in the beginning, but now that time has passed, I have no desire to go back to reality.

I felt like if I said that, something troublesome would happen.

‘…Let’s talk later, later.’

Even if you postpone it a little, nothing will change anyway.

Anyway, whether I go back or not, Hyeonbyeol is in a position where she has to find a way to go back.

“But how did the marriage talks go? “I still don’t know what happened there because I was waiting to meet my brother.”

“Ah… you mean that…?”

How on earth should I explain this…

Her head hurt so I just told her the results.

“If it was a marriage talk, I refused.”

“Oh… really?”

“You can hear the details from him later. “It looks like he’s telling you everything.”

“Definitely… These days, my position is closer to that of a friend rather than a confidant, right?”

Hyunbyeol said that if we talked here for a long time, she would get noticed, so she raised the tempo of the conversation.

“Take this first.”

“…What is this?”

“If the two of us are seen meeting separately in private, nothing good will happen to either of us, right?”

“…So what is this?”

“It would be quicker to see it.”

Hyeonbyeol tore a piece of paper in half, gave me one half, and wrote something with a pen on the other half.

OK….

[You understand, right?]

The words written on the other side are also written on my paper.

“I think I saw something similar in a fantasy movie a long time ago…”

“People’s thoughts are all there, right? Anyway, once you write this down, it will only be erased after a day, so it’s inconvenient to keep in touch for a long time.”

“Then, we can use it to convey the time and place to meet when we have something to talk about.”

“yes that’s right.”

It was my first time seeing a magic tool, so I was curious and asked its name. Hyeonbyeol scratched her cheek.

“Love paper.”

“…what?”

“No, that’s my real name. What should I do? From what I heard, it looks like a wizard created it to use when dating.”

“…Is that so?”

Anyway, it’s a love paper….

If translated directly into 21st century language… would it be something like a love chapter?

“So is this all you have to give?”

“Yes, the end. Instead, I have one last thing to say.”

“Try it quickly. “I’m afraid someone will come.”

As I looked around and urged Hyeonbyeol, Hyunbyeol hurriedly continued speaking without showing signs of distress.

“Don’t get too involved with Countess Peprock.”

“…huh?”

“She has a very big secret. Other than simply being the illegitimate daughter of her marquess. “Maybe she could end up in a very dangerous situation.”

It’s a dangerous situation…

“…I understand first of all. “I’m paying attention.”

“Then today’s business is over. “I’ll contact you again later.”

After that, Hyeonbyeol disappeared down the alley first, and I quickly left the place and headed to the shrine.

And a few days later.

“Tribal chief! “Something has arrived for the tribal leader!”

A package arrived in my name.

Suspicious package with no sender name.

However, it was easy to find out who sent it based on the contents of the box.

Black hair and dark eyes.

It is a cheap doll with no special features, but its legs are painted with black paint.

“her….”

It was so absurd that I took out the paper Hyeonbyeol had given me to say something.

And at the same time.

Ssaaaaaa-!

Hieroglyphs that no resident of Lapdonia would ever be able to interpret are written on a blank piece of paper. Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[LOL]

…I want to die.

***

Several days had passed since the royal meeting ended, but surprisingly, no major repercussions occurred.

Is it because the place was a place in the first place?

Also the story about Ragna and my marriage.

And my shocking confession that happened there.

It never spread to the city or leaked into the civilian population.

Well, there are no eternal secrets, and the news will spread slowly, and eventually most people will know.

‘Rather, this side is more chaotic than that….’

Immediately after the royal meeting, the policy of closing the labyrinth was implemented and made known throughout the city.

Naturally, the public opinion of the explorers was not good, and radicals were arrested and imprisoned while protesting in the square.

In addition, it was clear just by walking down the street that the fears of Labigion residents, who were part of the working class, were no longer comparable to before.

‘Well, with the invasion of Noark and the Bifron incident… Is it natural that they are now sealing off even the labyrinth?’

Even if that wasn’t the case in the first place, if the labyrinth were sealed, there would be a huge blow to the economy.

The value of goods would rise exponentially, and people’s consumption would also decline significantly.

Well, if you look at the newspapers, the royal family is coming up with policies to reduce taxes or new systems every day to give you peace of mind.

I’m not sure how effective this will be.

‘…I’ll just mind my own business.’

In that sense, today I came out of the sacred place and came to see Grandfather Hoeju of Melves. The two of us met alone and told him everything that happened at the royal meeting.

As far as I know, there is almost no way to utilize it, but the situation is different for other noble families in Melves.

“…Thank you. The information the Baron gave me today will most likely be of great help in getting through the confusion ahead. “I will never forget this favor and will definitely repay you.”

Attendees of the royal meeting.

I think this may be the reason why all nobles are so hung up on this title.

Just by participating and quietly listening, you can exert influence over ordinary nobles, which will soon become the power of that noble.

Just like this.

“Oh, and as I said before, I will not be getting married.”

“If that’s the case, don’t worry. To be honest, we are grateful that we pushed back the marquis’ proposal.”

“then…?”

“It may not be right away, but I will make sure that all of Melves can move.”

“Hmm….”

“Don’t worry. First of all, we will make sure that Baron Yandel can handle this order.”

A little surprising.

He said he went to a royal meeting.

With that alone, I was able to instantly oust the dwarven count family that had been in the construction business for over a thousand years and take their place.

Anyway, it will be easier to talk about it this way.

“Anyway, Hoeju.”

“Please speak.”

“What I’m saying is that our Baron Yandel will help us take care of the order… Isn’t it enough to say that the situation these days is chaotic?”

“Is that so?”

Seeing Hoeju’s reaction as if telling me to speak quickly, I spoke out loud.

“Anyway, I can’t even enter the labyrinth anymore, so I have a lot of time left.”

It was a rule of the world that I learned while studying stock charts while working at a company.

“Do you want to make a lot of money with me?”

A crisis can sometimes become an opportunity.
