32 – Change (1)

I expected it, but it was a rune written on my back.

In the first place, most of the magic Han Seo-yeon used was runes, so it was natural, but….

There was one thing I didn’t expect.

“The runes again, who the hell deciphered these damn letters?”

“…My older sister.”

It was the identity of the person who deciphered the runes.

‘Are you a family? .’

Because of Han Seo-yeon, who became quiet after that question, as if she was thinking about her family.

I had to do the Silent Pain Enduring Challenge in an awkward atmosphere.

Anyway, the tattoos on my back are just runes.

If you infuse magic into it, the rune will activate and attack ‘me’.

Burned with fire, electrocuted, frozen….

As you say, it’s fast-paced resistance training.

It was just self-harm.

“Great…”

“…Do it while taking a break.”

Since you’re working so hard on self-harm under the guise of training.

Han Seo-yeon, who barely woke up from her flashback, stopped me.

“Suh, uh…okay. My mana just ran out.”

“If you do it often, your magic power will increase.”

“Really?”

The more magic you use, the more magic you get.

Well, even though I didn’t train much, my magic power increased before I knew it.

Because I think so.

“If you don’t have magic, let’s do this for today.”

“Oh.”

Han Seo-yeon announced the end of training.

“Of course, you have to keep training alone.”

“Take note.”

“Don’t use weird words.”

“Huh. Okay.”

… Anyway, it’s because I suffered so much in this short time.

As Han Seo-yeon said, her sense of her former murder seems to have faded a bit.

‘This really works.’

She honestly had some doubts.

Han Seo-yeon, who said she was going to do her personal training while smiling inside.

She walked under the dark sky to the hotel.

Judging by the faint sound she heard, it seemed that Kang Dae-san and his friends were having a conversation at the front desk.

– Jeobuck.

As soon as I entered, the voice stopped.

… I’m guessing what you’re talking about.

Hmm.

Now that the case has been resolved, I need to make friends with Kang Dae-san and the others.

‘Isn’t it easy?’

For now, it’s first to check Seol-i and Lee Seon-hwa’s condition.

The moment I tried to pass by them who had become quiet.

“That.”

Kang Dae-san’s bold voice called me up.

“Thank you for stepping up on our behalf.”

Come to think of it, it was Kang Dae-san and the others who had to kill them originally.

‘Although Seol-i got involved and Han Seo-yeon got angry, so I stepped in.’

I didn’t mean to show off that I did it for you.

It feels strange to be thanked like this.

“Somebody had to do it.”

“…Thanks anyway.”

Still, Kang Dae-san seemed to have a conscience, unlike humans who became corpses.

Aren’t they the ones who endured it because they didn’t want to kill people even if they stole the fruit?

If I was in that situation, I wouldn’t have been able to endure it even for a day.

But even after that, he mumbled as if he had something to say.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Mmm.”

I wonder if he was curious.

The party barely opened their mouths after sneakily urging Kang Dae-san.

“So, are you always doing eavesdropping?”

“Eavesdropping?”

Ah.

These people let me know that I was eavesdropping.

“Did you swear at me?”

“Ke hum! Kke hum hum!”

‘You cursed.’

“… It’s a long story that the party said they were worried about Lee Seon-hwa, so she looked around and overheard it.”

I was careful not to make an absurd expression at the appearance that was too obvious, and continued.

“It’s quite troublesome and difficult, so I don’t normally do it.”

Let’s finish lying so skillfully.

It was only then that the atmosphere of Kang Dae-san and his party was relaxed.

Because I bowed my head in dissatisfaction at the overly blatant response.

“Large.”

“Oh.”

“Mmm.”

“Hmm.”

Then Kang Dae-san and the others came to their senses and avoided their eyes.

… Would it be harsh to say that it reminded me of an orc somewhere?

“This was all because of a little misunderstanding from day one.”

“Then, I’ll set up a table for you before I go back to the first floor.”

“No, you don’t have to…”

“You will need it as we will climb the tower together.”

“Large…”

Well, looking at Kang Dae-san’s attitude in the elevator on the first day in the waiting room, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

‘I was actually a victim.’

Still, it didn’t seem difficult to interact with Kang Dae-san’s party.

A little bruised… It may seem pure.

Besides, Seoyeon wasn’t very wary of anyone besides Seonhwa Lee.

It’s not like he has dangerous abilities.

– Ding!

With that thought in mind, I left the podium and boarded the elevator.

Anyway, quite a bit of time has already passed.

‘I wonder if Seol-i will be okay.’

Worrying about that, you got off the plane.

Just in time, Seol-i was standing in the hallway contemplating something.

“Seolah?”

“Oh.”

When his name was called, Seol raised his head reflexively.

… Something was weird

Walking eyes, hesitating lips, even unsteady hands.

It was a difficult signal to say everything was good.

“Lee Seon-hwa is in a bad condition?”

“…It seems to be in better condition than I thought.”

“Then?”

I skipped the back story, “What kind of trouble are you doing that?”

Seol-i closed his lips as if he understood.

… Did Seonhwa Lee say anything bad about me?

‘I don’t think I’m that stupid.’

More than that, I’m worried about Seol.

What should I do—I thought about it for a while.

In an instant, he moved backwards and grabbed Seol-i by the waist.

She leaned over and buried her face in the nape of her neck.

“Eh.”

Although Seol-i, who was suddenly hugged from behind, made a strange noise.

At most, the weak wizard couldn’t shake me off.

“Brother. Hold on…!”

“I’ll stay like this for a while.”

“Aww.”

It was Seol who said it as if he was embarrassed.

As soon as I asked, he stopped struggling.

Anyway, it’s mild.

“If you look like that, I’m worried too. I won’t see you for a second. Huh?”

“…Yes.”

“Thank you.”

However, I was a little concerned about doing this in the hallway.

I went into Seol-i’s room, which was open.

“Oppa…Breath, it tickles me.”

“Oh sorry.”

“Wow.”

After that, a surprisingly quiet conversation took place.

The contents were mainly about Seol-i.

It wasn’t about Seol Yi I met here, it was about Seol Yi on Earth I didn’t know about.

“Your parents are here…”

“Of course you are. Why?”

“I just wanted to see if I could see you again.”

“…We must leave the tower.”

“Hmm, that’s how it should be.”

Anyway, while we were talking.

Seol-i’s voice became more and more comfortable, but at the end it seemed a little excited.

Is it fun to tell your story to me?

I couldn’t see it because it was behind me, but I continued to listen with a smile on my face.

Since we talked for such a long time.

“Ummm…”

Sulli fell asleep before he knew it.

That must have been the buildup of fatigue while living in the hot jungle.

From noble mtl dot com

I even nursed Seonhwa Lee for a long time, so it was exhausting.

‘They must have secretly trained in magic on the first floor.’

For whatever reason, you slip away from Seol-i, who is soundly asleep.

After exchanging signals with Han Seo-yeon, who was waiting in the hallway, with her eyes.

– Knock Knock.

I knocked on Lee Seon-hwa’s door in the next room.

“…Is open.”

Then I heard a completely cracked and locked voice.

I was going to go in anyway, so beyond the door I opened.

I saw Seonhwa Lee, who had just begun to stand up.

Her stern look, her eyes went mushy and she lost her firearm.

Her ponytail, which was always tied, came undone, leaving her hair in a mess.

Still, it gave off a decadent atmosphere, perhaps because she was a beauty.

“Are you all right?”

“There’s something I’d like to ask you.”

“…?”

Lee Seon-hwa ignores her formal regards and asks right away.

Normally, she would have said something naturally.

“No, I’ll do it first.”

This time, I also had a business.

“Seol-i’s condition is strange. What did you say?”

“Ah…that’s right, I see. Maybe Seol-i misunderstood.”

“Misunderstanding?”

Since it’s a matter of seol-i, the words came out a little sharp.

Lee Seon-hwa rather smiled faintly at me.

“I told Seol-i that I would like to meet Nam Hyeon-woo.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, I think Seolgi was worried that maybe I had a grudge—but…”

Immediately after answering that, her eyes suddenly became clearer.

It shines with a meaningful light that I have never seen before and is directed towards me.

“I just wanted to ask you something.”

“…What is it?”

“About how I should have been, is.”

The information Seonhwa Lee asked was very fresh.

If only he knew that everyone in the party was a thief except himself.

What should she have done?

“What would you do if Nam Hyeon-woo was in my position?”

… I’ve heard the story

Perhaps Seonhwa Lee knew about their theft.

I don’t know if it was because I wanted to trust them.

It looks like he fooled himself.

“Ha ha.”

“Ah…sorry. I dare to ask—”

“No, no.”

In the midst of that, my self-confidence was shattered and it was really painful.

I heard from Seol that Seonhwa Lee was almost a sister… It’s a big deal if it stays like this.

‘Let’s try to answer well.’

“If it were me…”

If it is Nam Hyeon-woo in the middle of an ordeal who has not yet passed the climax of death and has not killed anyone.

“I would have taken all of them to Mt. Kangdae to apologize.”

Maybe it was.

… Of course, the story would have been different if I had known that they were the people who would stab me in the back in a crisis situation.

“You’ll have to take as many fruits as you stole.”

But now that I’ve said it, it seems like something from a moral book.

Fortunately, Seonhwa Lee seems to have liked that answer.

Somewhere, he smiled dejectedly.

“Is that so?”

“That’s too typical of an answer.”

“No, because that was the question…It was obvious…”

Still, I thought the response was good, so I tried to ask why you asked this question.

I wonder if Seonhwa Lee was at her limit, because she collapsed while muttering.

The conversation ended there.

“Mmm.”

It’s a pity, but I felt like I had to go to bed today.

* * * *

… I’m not sure yet.

[Goodwill (F) -> ■Goodwill (E)]

Not yet.

* * * *

The next day.

I beat Kang Dae-san and the others.

The reason is absurd.
