059. Dinner (1)

After the incident was roughly settled.

We were called to the chairman that way.

The top floor of the main building’s clock tower, which I visited after a long time.

I was able to meet Lina again there.

She crossed her arms and tapped her fingers with a subtle expression.

“…… Jin Yoo-ha. You stopped a student who became a demon at the academy.”

“Yes.”

“Actually, I want to start with compliments, but there is a procedure, so I can’t blindly admit it. The background check comes first.”

“Yes. I understand.”

I nodded at her words.

“Then let me ask you a question. How did Choi Ah-ram know that she would become a demon and deal with it?”

For this part, I expected questions to come in, so I was prepared in advance.

“I went out to practice gate training this morning with two people here and cadet Aram Choi.”

“…… It did.”

It was Lina herself who confirmed that, so she nodded her head.

“And during the clearing of the gate, we found strange signs of Cadet Choi A-ram.”

“Hmm then. Then why didn’t you report in advance?”

She narrowed her eyes and asked with a suspicious look.

I calmly accepted her gaze.

“Chairman. An incident suspected of being a Mine before I entered school. Do you remember?”

Then Lina’s complexion hardened.

“I believe that when a cadet is suspected of being a Mine, it must be thoroughly verified. Otherwise… …. There could be innocent victims like me.”

“… ….”

“I’ve already been through something like that, so how could I be the first to say that you were suspected of being a demon?”

Kheuheum—!!!

As I pointed out this part, she cleared her throat as if she had been stung.

I laughed inwardly at the fact that my intentions worked.

“That’s why I wasn’t recklessly convinced, and for now, I only had doubts. In the meantime, I got a call from senior Lim Ga-eul here.”

I nodded to Lim Ga-eul, who was standing behind me.

“Aram Choi contacted the senior. She asks me to come alone to the neglected training ground.”

“…… There, I felt suspicious and accompanied him. And there, he found Choi Ah-ram, who was already being mined. That’s it.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Then Lina thought about it and nodded her head, thinking she was reasonable.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with misunderstanding.

She was the one who organized the beginning and the end of the actual gate drill this morning.

“Yes, that’s great… ….”

Um, but why are you making the expression that you received the Kumon workbook as a Christmas gift while giving compliments?

“Then I will reward you for solving this problem. First of all, you’re thinking of including Cadet Lim Ga-eul, who made a contribution this time, as a member of your party, right?”

At those words, Lim Ga-eul made a surprised expression for a moment.

Well, if you’ve already followed me this far, you’re going to miss out.

“Yes.”

I nodded.

“Hmm, then, can I get subspace tattoos for the two cadets Lee Yu-ri and Lim Ga-eul?”

In an instant, my eyes narrowed.

‘Where is Jammin taking off the bottom right now?’

“Wait a minute.”

I interrupted her.

“… What.”

“No. It’s a little strange to hear.”

“…… What, what!”

A subspace tattoo?

Of course it’s good.

First of all, in the case of Lim Ga-eul, it can be seen as a reasonable reward.

But not the rest.

“First of all, I will admit that subspace tattoos are a reward for Lim Ga-eul. If it hadn’t been for seniors, we wouldn’t have found Mine.”

I said to her, folding her hands one by one.

“However, I won Lee Yu-ri because of my performance in Instructor Baek Seol-hee’s class. Is it okay if I personally tell the instructor about this?”

“That, that’s—!”

“And if that’s the case, won’t my other party members lose any of the benefits of that reward?”

Let’s point out her words one by one and argue.

Lina bit her lip.

“…… I don’t like a quick-witted kid like you.”

Lina frowned and said.

‘Honestly, aren’t you a kid?’

The word came up to her throat, but she swallowed it in one gulp.

I immediately followed her words before she read my expression and had a seizure.

“As expected, the student who became a Mine was taken care of without any damage, but honestly, I think the reward is too small.”

Then the chairman, who was looking at me gently, opened his mouth.

“…… Say what you want.”

I called for joy inside.

Yes. I managed to get it to come this far.

In the original game, what is unlocked as a reward for this tutorial is the ‘Character Sponsorship System’.

So, after defeating the tutorial boss, users give gifts to each character.

It is also possible to put various items and growth goods into the sleeves.

‘But according to what I’ve learned through Shin Se-hee, there is no sponsor with growth goods like the user.’

So I thought about how to make use of this opportunity.

This is what I came up with after a long long struggle.

‘The chairman’s help.’

I know why she won’t come forward.

However, I decided that it would be more beneficial for her to step forward.

‘Because the system shows someone who can never win.’

At that time, the academy suffered considerable damage.

And the authority of the director who did not take part in this work also fell endlessly.

As a result, it becomes a world where demons and demons are more active.

I looked at Lina and opened her mouth.

“Later, when we want, lend us your strength just once.”

She didn’t know I would make such a request. Her eyes shook like an earthquake.

“That, that… ….”

Lina stuttered her words with her puzzled face.

“Chairman. It’s just one time. After that, I promise you that I will never ask for direct help from the chairman.”

“… ….”

She bit her lip and looked at me.

How long did the silence pass?

Lina was far away, so she looked up at the ceiling.

“Again, that damn feeling of déjà vu is gone… ….”

“…… Yes?”

“Maybe this is the answer… ….”

Then he turned his head towards me.

She nodded her head as if making a big decision.

“Yes. I get it. When you wish Then, let me help you just once.”

“Thank you.”

“And while you’re here, get a subspace tattoo treatment. All preparations are finished.”

Lina let out a deep sigh with her tired face.

* * *

So all the party members went out after receiving the subspace tattoo treatment.

It was already a dark night around.

“Ah… …. It hurts.”

Lee Yoo-ri, who received the procedure in the last order, stroked the back of her hand in a burning pain.

On the back of her hand was a small blue geometric tattoo.

Now she doesn’t have to carry a heavy shield on her back all the time.

Whoa—

She blew on the back of her hand and turned her gaze to me.

“Jin Yuha.”

“Huh?”

“I couldn’t ask because of the chairman, is that true?”

“What?”

From noble mtl dot com

“That you gave me this for class performance.”

She said, holding out the tattoo on the back of her hand.

“What is it?”

Then, the corner of Lee Yu-ri’s mouth went down.

Perhaps it feels like a burden on the mind.

“Don’t make that face. I just listened to the class hard and got it.”

I said with a smile.

“Yeah, but! This is so precious! Why do you do that to me……. You could have gotten something better.”

“Well, that was the best thing for me back then. Yuuri is you.”

She made her startled face and bit her lip softly.

“If you have it, you will be able to protect me better in the future. Is not it?”

“…… You.”

“So. Good luck in the future.”

I smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

Lee Yuri lowered her head and nodded slightly.

Once the situation has been sorted out,

I looked around at the party members.

Lee Yu-ri, Kang Do-hee, Shin Se-hee, Lim Ga-eul.

‘Hmm, I don’t have a healer yet, and I haven’t met any characters that need to be changed every once in a while depending on the boss match… ….’

Still, we caught the tutorial boss together.

Now these are my real party members.

I will probably be with them all the time.

‘Since the party formation declaration ceremony has been completed like this… …. It would be a pity to just send it away.’

I looked at the party members and opened my mouth.

“Are you all okay with the time right now?”

“Hmm? Are you okay.”

Only Shin Se-hee answered, but the time seemed to be okay, as the others didn’t have any answers either.

“Umm, I had a hard day today, so I want to have a meal with you. It’s late, and there won’t be any restaurants open right now…….”

I grinned.

“Let’s have dinner together in my room.”

At that, everyone put on their faces in shock.

“…… Yes, your room?”

“Yellow, in your room?”

“…… Junior?”

“Jin Yoo-ha’s room…… !?”

Meanwhile, Kang Do-hee raised her hand to her hardened face.

‘What, are you busy?’

I looked at her while thinking about her.

The words that came out of Kang Do-hee’s mouth were completely unexpected.

“Yellow, you probably don’t mean to cook.”

‘Huh? Why does he call me yellow?’

For now, let’s put that aside.

“Right?”

I answered with a tilt of my head.

I was thinking of showing the 10-year-old Jjamba in a flashy way to those who have just become adults.

“I will cook for you.”

“…… Is it. Is it Daize in Sol’s Eye? No, there could be even worse combinations. I need to prepare my heart.”

“Ji, Jin Yuha is eating…… ? How about radish radish!?”

Kang Do-hee’s face was full of her spleen beauty as if she was about to face a boss fight.

And Lee Yu-ri, who was bowing her head beside her.

‘No, why the hell?’
