Chapter 185

Unlocked chapter (12/13)

[Brainwave and Silent (3)]

Yoo Soo-jin, the youngest of the Twelve, was a player characterized by pervasive laziness.

Except when she was on a mission, she was often sleeping or lost in her own world.

Because of this, the Tempest Clan couldnt fully enjoy the privileges associated with having a Twelve Seat in their ranks, despite her selection replacing Shin Myung-hwan.

While this was fortunate for Im Gaeul and Baek-ryeon, it was a source of frustration for Kang Ye-hee, the Tempest Clan Lord.

Kang Ye-hee, unable to accept Shin Myung-hwans death at the hands of the Fairy Government in the Northern Gyeonggi Provincial Office, didnt appreciate the Fairy Governments decisions.

The Pine Group, which sponsors the Tempest Clan, has remained neutral even when the politicals circles has turned against the Fariy.

If someone other than Yoo Soo-jin had become the Twelve Seat in Tempest Clan, Kang Ye-hee would have denounced the Fairy Godmother as soon as she became Clan Lord.

I hope it doesnt happen in this life.

Tempest Clan Lord Kang Ye-hee, after Yoo Soo Jins death, did not hesitate to become a sword against the Second Fairy Ha Baek-ryeon even if it meant throwing away the Pine Groups sponsorship.

She truly showed what a madwoman is.

However, it seemed this time around there was no need to worry.

According to Shin Seoyoung, Kang Ye-hee didnt seem to hold a grudge against the government.

Unnie, are you sure you can eat it all?

.

Dont drink and eat at the same time, you might choke otherwise.

Awakening from his memories, Eunha was stunned to see the woman sitting on a bench.

Yoo Soo-jin, wearing a headband-style hearing protector, was devouring the food from the store without hesitation, ignoring the slightly messy hair.

She ate with unwavering focus, without hearing the words of Hayang and Seona sitting on her left and right.

I didnt know this was the kind of <Silent> she was

.

A silent sniper that I had only seen from afar before my regression.

I had no idea she was a food snob.

Is the hamburger ready yet?

While Eunha was contemplating this, Yoo Soo-jin, who had been engrossed in her sweet potato pizza, looked at the microwave.

Two or three generations of microwaves were in operation.

Hayang and Seona happened to be microwaving some frozen food she had bought.

Theres still a minute left.

I want to eat now.

Unnie, wait a minute, you might get a stomachache from eating frozen food.

Ill eat now.

Yoo Soo jin didnt even pretend to listen to Seonas plea.

She stood up, opened the microwave, and took a bite out of the still-defrosted hamburger.

Is she really Twelve Seat?

Uh.

Is the country so devoid of talent?

Seona asked in disbelief as she watched Yoo Soo-jin take food out of the other microwave while eating her burger.

It was so unbelievable that she even blurted out something uncharacteristic of her.

Even if she looks like that, shes the youngest of the Twelve.

Eunha felt unnecessarily ashamed of himself.

What Yoo Soo-jin looked like now was not the best sniper in the country, but something that would make Mukminji cry.

Im sleepy.

Wow, shes eating in her sleep.

He watched in admiration as she shoved food into her mouth while sleeping with her eyes closed.

Eunha felt like he wanted to hide in a mousehole.

He wondered if Seona was right about the lack of talent in the country.

Picnic, my picnic.

Unnie, here.

But why are you eating here instead of eating in the cafeteria?

Yoo Soo Jin groped in the air with her empty hand in search of her picnic, even though she was dozing off.

Hayang quickly stuck a straw in her mouth.

Like a child sucking on a bottle, she gulped down the drink held up with two hands.

Its because Yoo Soo-jin doesnt like noisy places.

Huh?

Lee Dojin and Yoo Soo-jin werent the only Twelve Seats who participated in defeating Manticore.

There was another Twelve who deployed a protective spell to prevent the Manticore from harming the school.

<The Witch of Time>, Precis Memory.

The kids looked at her as she walked up the ramp.

She tipped up her Halloween hat and smiled at them.

Hello. We meet again?

My unnie! Hi!

Is unnie here too?

Seona and Hayang didnt seem to realize that she was also a Twelve Seat.

Of course, Precis Memory didnt seem to have any intention of letting them know.

Your name must be Eunha, right?

With his gentlemanly and cheerful personality, he spoke to the two children whose faces were stiff.

Seona and Hayangs faces immediately relaxed.

As if they had forgotten what they had heard earlier, they answered his questions with a smile.

By the way, player Lee Dojin, what are the children you brought with you.

Its noisy.

Hahaha, theres a good reason for that.

Priscis Memory looked embarrassed as she brought her hand to her cheek.

Yoo Soo Jin, wearing hearing protection, spoke up with a tone of annoyance.

Lee Dojin could only let out an awkward laugh.

The children around them screamed in excitement, shouting, Love you, Dojin Oppa! Minji, in particular, was more enthusiastic, shouting for the crowd to leave.

Minji, where did you get those glow sticks?

And what are you going to do with a glow stick in broad daylight.

Eunha clicked his tongue at the pathetic behavior of the girl he had known since he was two years old.

Captain, Dojin decided to shoot hot chocolate, will you drink it too?

Huh? Really?

Really?

Eunhyuk pushed his way through the crowd of kids and grabbed Eunha.

But when he heard Eunhyuk say hot chocolate, he looked back at Yoo Soo-jin, who was wearing hearing protection to block out the sounds around her.

Are you sure?

Yoo Soo Jin gripped the strap of his rifle with one hand and grabbed Lee Dojins collar with the other.

Having heard in disbelief that he was going to shoot hot chocolate, she was holding on to a perplexed Lee Dojin.

Uh, Soo jin, do you want some too?

Yeah.

Th-then. Precis Memory, do you want some too? Ill get it for you.

Then Ill have one too. Ill drink it well.

Eventually, to the cheers of the kids, Lee Dojin took out his wallet.

Eunha, who was also in the audience, was able to drink the hot chocolate he bought.

Hot chocolate is the best in winter, right, Captain?

Yes, it is.

Whats with your reaction, No Eunha? Dojin oppa bought this for you. You should drink it gratefully.

Minji was ready to take the can to home with her.

As she collected the cans, she talked to the kids one by one.

Does she want to be a player or a fan, what is it?

She was such an embarrassing childhood friend.

Maybe it was better to pretend not to know for a while.

That was Eunhas thought.

Then, kids, study hard! Im buying this for you to study well, okay?

Yes-!!

Lee Dojin bid farewell, showing his white teeth.

The kids responded with a disappointed but spirited voice.

See you later.

Precis Memory waved to Eunha as she walked through the path the children had made for her.

She was followed by Yoo Soo-jin.

Ah.

Returning to her seat, Yoo Soo Jin found the food she hadnt gotten to eat.

You guys eat.

What? Th-thank you.

Thank you.

Yoo Soo-jin turned around with a satisfied face after giving Hayang and Seona more food than they could hold in their arms.

The two stared at her in a daze as she walked away.

By the way, the Manticore.

As the children waved an almost tearful goodbye, Eunha looked up at the deep blue sky.

Was it something they had been targeting for a long time?

The Manticore had led over two dozen monsters into Cocoon.

It couldnt have been whims or whimsical desires.

A creature with powers reaching into the Third rank could not have invaded for the sole purpose of feeding on humans.

Eunha was vaguely certain.

Its purpose, their purpose, must have been reconnaissance.

.

Someday, people who had lived comfortably inside the cocoon would realize, at the moment the cocoon broke, that they still couldnt escape the threat of monsters.

Beyond the cocoon, monsters were always lurking, waiting for the opportunity to devour humanity.

.

There was nothing in this world.

Not even a safe life.

Not peace.

And certainly not hope.
