Episode 105

Sky Hotel Corridor.

Lee Si-woo gulped and broke out in a cold sweat. Shin Yooseong said with a smile.

“Then I’ll take care of you, Siwoo.”

Lee Si-woo laughs along with Shin Yoo-seong’s bright smile.

“Oh yeah, Yooseong... But are you really okay? To be honest, I’m better than Eun-ah...”

“It’s okay. ...because you just have to do your best.”

Shin Yoo-seong smiled while saying that.

Siwoo Lee scratched his cheek with a confused face.

“Isn’t it? You have to do your best. What kind of opportunity is this...”

Lee Si-woo, whose conscience pricks as he speaks. Shin Yoo-seong looked at Lee Si-woo and said in a calm voice.

“thank you. Let’s do our best. Siwoo.”

After those words, Shin Yoo-seong heads somewhere.

Nod.

He moved his head, but Lee Si-woo was still breaking out in a cold sweat.

‘Really... I’m going to go to the competition.’

Can you beat your opponent in a confrontation with your half-hearted mind? Let Siwoo Lee fall into trouble. His expression became increasingly serious.

‘...Can I win with a bow?’

For Lee Si-woo, using a gun means acknowledging his father and family’s education. Just thinking about it gave me an unpleasant feeling of rejection.

The moment you hold the gun, your mind becomes cold as if you become a different person. A feeling of being constantly uplifted. Sensitive sensation that even the heartbeat can be felt.

Siwoo Lee hated all of that.

no i got bored

If you went to the national competition, you had to feel that feeling in front of the whole world.

‘...I am.’

Lee Si-woo’s father made Lee Si-woo, who was only 10 years old, run around with a gun in the snow, saying it was to get his breathing in order.

body frozen in the cold.

There was no way the bullets would hit him in the trembling cold, and there was no way he could breathe properly.

‘...Such a gunshot. I never asked you to teach me.’

Above all, taking up a gun means acknowledging one’s family in the national competition that the whole world will see.

[Look at that. This performance is all thanks to my

discerning eye for recognizing your talent.

‘Damn it...’

Ossuary.

A solemn place where the ashes of the deceased are enshrined. Seiji looked over the glass tube at the box containing the paper cranes and artificial flower bouquets and wiped his nose as if embarrassed.

“A long time! Ryuko!”

The charnel house with no answer.

[Awesome! Ryuko!]

Seiji’s best friend, Ryuko, was always Seiji’s pride. Even if no one else knows, I wanted to look good to Ryuko.

Perhaps first love.

[I mean. I will become the strongest hunter in Japan! After that, I’ll be the best in the world!]

Ryuko laughed heartily as she talked about her long-winded dreams. However, Seiji’s dream was to become Ryuko. I will always be by your side until Ryuko becomes a twinkling star. I swore that way from a very young age.

[Ryuko can definitely do it!]

But the world was cruel to 12-year-olds.

[...me. Being the world’s strongest might be a bit difficult now...]

An incurable disease that I don’t even know the name of.

Ryuko, who had been shining bright until recently, greeted Seiji while lying in the hospital room. Eyes that have lost their vitality in a few days.

[sage. me. I can’t live much now. If you want to live... Do you need a stone... called a circular stone?]

[...Ryuko?]

The star has fallen.

A person who always shined brightly lost his light. In a hopeless situation, all a child can do is eventually burst into tears.

Seiji yelled at Ryuko not to die.

[I am! I’ll buy you! Ryuko! So please don’t die!]

[...Fool. Even adults can’t buy it. They say 100 houses are the money you need to sell.]

Seiji got angry at Ryuko’s parents who were just crying. I was also angry at myself for being incompetent. However, no matter how much I was upset, all I could shed was tears.

[Man... don’t cry...]

And that day.

Seiji saw Ryuko crying for the first time.

A mountain that was scary even when we climbed together.

However, Seiji climbed the mountain alone that day. What you see in front of you is the distant night sky. and light.

There were countless stars in the night sky.

Sage’s star has fallen.

The day Ryuko died.

Sage is also dead.

All that remains is a dream.

fault!

An ossuary where only silence flows.

Seiji, who got up cheerfully, looked at Ham and smiled as brightly as the stars he had seen in his childhood.

“I can’t hear you either!”

Cheerful laughter alone.

Seiji made up her mind and turned around and made a promise to her old friend.

“Ryuko! me! I will come back as the strongest in the world!”

Seiji’s goal is to win the national competition. The first opponent is the strongest candidate for the championship.

It was Korea.
