Episode 144

[...The lodging is here. If you have any inconveniences with the facilities, please let me know.]

Yooseong Shin did not expect much from Sebastian’s request for the accommodation’s facilities. However, the facilities of the accommodation that I checked were beyond my imagination.

‘It’s not pushed even by warming...’

A state-of-the-art facility with money poured into it.

Seven Number Accommodation in Clock Tower Academy was decorated with simple but luxurious furniture and facilities. In addition, since it is a 6-person accommodation, the satisfaction that comes from the size was considerable.

‘And this familiar yet unfamiliar smell... Is it Sumire’s new menu?’

Meat simmered until tender and vegetables with their natural flavor well brewed.

The strong smell of Sumire’s meat stew raised Shin Yoo-seong’s anticipation.

‘...I can be sure even without tasting it. This is definitely delicious.’

If you think about the time it takes for the rest of the party to come back, you have to wait for at least an hour to eat.

‘It’s the perfect time to take a bath while smelling the meat stew.’

Shin Yoo-seong organizes his own schedule from the entrance. At that time, Sumire, wearing an apron, welcomed Shin Yoo-seong with a happy face in the kitchen.

“ah! Mr. Yoosung! Did you come back earlier than expected?”

“huh. Eun-ah and Amy will be back soon too.”

After finishing the workout, Kim Eun-ah chose the academy’s shower room instead of the dorm’s bathroom to wash off her sweat.

It seems that it was embarrassing to wash in a common accommodation. Sumire immediately nodded with an understanding face.

“Ah... then! Yoosung, would you like to take a bath first? Or... start with rice?”

When Sumire hesitated and asked with an embarrassed face, why? Shin Yoosung calmly replied.

“I’ll wash up before Eun-ah and Amy come back.”

Let’s untie the ribbon. Shin Yoo-seong’s flowing hair. Sumire stared at Shin Yoo-seong’s face and pointed urgently to the bathroom.

“You know that! ...I warmed up the bath water beforehand!”

“I’m always thankful. Sumire.”

In spite of Shin Yoo-seong’s gratitude, Sumire laughed awkwardly and turned her gaze to the stew.

Then Sumire spoke softly with a thoughtful face.

“...Because I can’t go to the game this time. I wanted to take care of the condition of the party members.”

Sumire smiled at Shin Yoo-seong at the end of those words. Shin Yoo-seong was honest about his thoughts and feelings.

“Sumire always thinks of us.”

Shin Yoo-seong approached slowly while talking in a soft voice. Sumire looked at Shin Yuseong with nervous eyes at the distance.

“Mr. Yooseong...”

“As expected, our party wouldn’t work without you.”

Sumire made the picky Kim Eun-ah open up and made the distrustful Lee Si-woo admit it, and has never betrayed Shin Yoo-seong’s trust and expectations. Always breaking through the limits and showing results beyond expectations.

“I’m always thankful. Sumire.”

Even though it wasn’t a long time since Yooseong Shin made the party, Sumire had so many things to be thankful for.

Let Shin Yoo-seong smile lightly with thanks. Sumire’s face, which met our eyes, turned red.

“Me too...”

But Sumire somehow looked straight at Shin Yoosung without avoiding her gaze.

“Thank you as always! Mr. Yoosung!”

Sumire, who endured her shyness and smiled at Shin Yoo-seong, had definitely changed.

Took.

Shuk- Shussuk!

Amy, who had just finished dressing, glanced at Kim Eun-ah and said.

“...But what about Eunah? Honestly, can’t you guess what kind of artifact it is?

Even so, Amy had a quick head turn. As proof of that, the academy’s written grades aren’t as good as Sumire’s, but they’re at the top. Kim Eun-ah was drying her hair with a towel wrapped around her without any reply.

‘...An artifact prepared to fight us.’

Took.

Kim Eun-ah put down the dryer.

I could tell just by thinking about it for a second. Also, Amy was right.

“Looking at what they prepared now, it must be an artifact to prepare for our team rather than to strengthen their characteristics.”

Amy nodded at Kim Eun-ah’s serious voice and moved her head.

“If you look at the preparation of the holy sphere to stop Sumire. It must be so.”

“Then the question is who the artifact is meant to stop... I prepared the Sphere of the Holy Spirit, so it’s not Sumire.”

At Kim Eun-ah’s reasoning, Amy agreed and said.

“huh! That’s right, I’m sorry, but I’m not Siwoo, who has never shown a great performance. What, we’re not even number 7.”

Finally Sumire. Siwoo Lee. Excluding the option Amy, there are only two left. It was Shin Yoo-seong and Kim Eun-ah.

Kim Eun-ah looked at herself in the mirror and turned on electricity in her right hand.

Paget-!

Let the blue electricity emit light.

Kim Eun-ah muttered a little with a rather serious expression.

“...is it me?”

“I don’t know. ...Maybe it’s an artifact to stop you if you’re not the party leader?”

Kim Eun-ah is an electrical characteristic called an element. There were quite a few types of artifacts with resistance.

“If it were me. Could we have to fight without electricity?”

Kim Eun-ah’s direct ball.

Amy hesitated for a moment, then scratched her cheek and opened her mouth.

“Yeah, I think if I were to keep you in check, it would be electricity. A suit that doesn’t conduct electricity or an artifact that absorbs electricity... something like that.”

“is it.”

Kim Eun-ah, who was already dressed, was tying her hair tie.

Swoop- Tuk.

‘It’s electricity resistant...’

If Amy’s information was true, I didn’t know that I might be fighting an opponent who really doesn’t have electricity.

It was a formidable opponent, just like the first time I faced a subspecies of the Yeowryong. However, Kim Eun-ah opened her mouth with a calm face.

“doesn’t care.”

However, Kim Eun-ah learned martial arts while training with Shin Yoo-seong. Learned new skills. It wasn’t the self of the past that only relied on electric attacks.

“I will win.”

Eunah Kim’s confident voice.

Amy involuntarily opened her eyes wide.

“...Eun-ah, it’s so cool! Doesn’t that look like the party leader?”

Amy’s cute smile.

Amy was smiling as usual as she looked at Kim Eun-ah.
