After returning, Yoo Se-ha reports to Paeng Jin-ah and Yu Neung-hae and gives permission to subdue .

This is the story of the time when he went to Hyeja Lim and recruited her.

“…Ugh! This is it.”

“…It’s good.”

Bo-ra Moon, Na-yong Joo.

The two were sitting at a food stall and sharing a drink.

Two people met by chance on the bridge railing.

After talking to each other for a bit, we came to the conclusion that we should at least share a drink with lonely(?) people, and this is how it ended up.

Although it was such a bitter story, the surrounding onlookers were busy focusing only on the two’s appearance.

―Wow… I’m tired. Look over there. That red hair is really pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?

―… The other side isn’t easy either, right? Take care of your eyes properly.

―But aren’t they both Awakened?

They are both so beautiful that men and women alike will stare at them when they pass by.

It was natural for there to be murmurs of reaction here and there.

Among them, the ones that received a particularly good response were men who came to drink.

Everyone was busy glancing at them in admiration.

However, no one even approached them or even talked to them.

The subtle and pure lingering scent of magical power emanating from Moon Bo-ra and Joo Na-yong.

It was natural for civilians, and we created a boundary where even rookie hunters could not approach without permission.

Additionally, is an energy that greatly reacts to the mental state of the awakened person.

This situation, which is uncomfortable for both of them, has created a kind of barrier that blocks access.

Anyway, the reason why the two of them are strangely angry.

Nothing special.

“…Anyway, Yoo Se-ha. He just says what he says and acts as he pleases.”

“…I agree. Seha needs to reflect.”

“…Who said anything about going out with Mahana? I just asked you to tell me. If possible…let’s go together.”

“…I agree.”

This is a topic about a man who is asked to campaign.

The two, who felt offended by Yoo Se-ha’s attitude of only caring for Mahana, shot the glass at once.

‘… after.’

Bora Moon sighs.

I thought it was a little hot.

Alcohol entering the body causes heat.

It makes your mind wander.

Ironically, the more I did this, the more sensitive the magic flowing through my body became.

Thanks to this, Moon Bo-ra feels very well what her inner feelings are like.

Angry.

sad.

and…

‘… miss you.’

Yoo Se-ha…

Joo Na-yong looked at Moon Bora intently.

As I take a bite of the seafood and green onion pancake I ordered as a side dish, I ask vaguely.

I was going to ask you something I was curious about.

“Moon Bora.”

“…yes?”

“…I’ve noticed this recently. You don’t call me Yoo Se-habo, you just call me by your first name?”

“……”

It seems like it’s no big deal.

It seems like it’s no big deal.

It just seems like a throwaway comment.

But Bo-ra Moon flinched without realizing it.

In the transparent window in my mind.

It felt like someone had thrown a stone and smashed it.

I suddenly feel like I’m losing sleep.

Bo-ra Moon lifted the glass and took a sip.

With that brief action, you find composure.

“…It’s a bit inconvenient to keep adding seeds. I’m also…Seha’s older sister by two years.”

“…Then why do we plant seeds…”

“……”

Moon Bo-ra avoided eye contact.

Just quietly pick up the snacks and eat them.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no excuse for this part.

“…Yongwoowoo…”

“Well, more than that… I’m sorry about the handkerchief incident. I never thought you’d see me like that.”

Moon Bo-ra tries to change the topic by saying something else.

She had already explained the situation a long time ago.

There was a time when I broke into a cold sweat while watching , and a kind Yoo Se-ha lent me a handkerchief.

I guess I just missed the timing.

“…That’s all. I’m sorry.”

“…No, it’s okay. I didn’t do it to hide it anyway.”

“…Yes.”

Bo-ra Moon feels guilty.

Actually, it is not wrong.

Of course…

The fact that Yoo Se-ha came over and carefully wiped her hands, arms, and all over her face.

I had a chance to return it a long time ago, but I omitted the unnecessary comment that I was intentionally keeping my mouth shut.

Anyway, maybe it was because the word got out?

The topic of conversation continued with .

“How was it? I’ve been to quite a few too… and this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“ have appeared. The boss here is a knight called .”

“Oh, that’s kind of interesting.”

“What?”

In response to Moon Bo-ra’s question, Joo Na-yong made a gesture asking her to think.

“Slime is basically a guy who uses his viscous body to attack you. But the boss is a knight?”

“…So?”

“That means acting like a human. You mean that the slime understood human techniques such as wearing armor and using weapons and shields? How could a slime with almost no intelligence know that?”

“…Ah, are you by any chance referring to the ‘Other World Record Theory’?”

.

The hypothesis is that the gaps in a completely different world, such as , were actually created by the entanglement of history and knowledge of a world completely different from this one.

Furthermore, scholars argued that it was a huge biography gathered only from fragmentary information without distinction of time and space.

Bora Moon is also an explorer and researcher before being a “wizard.”

I thought it was a reasonable argument.

“Maybe that was a knight who protected the citizens during his lifetime.”

“Oh, you think so? I actually thought that ate the dead knight and absorbed the knowledge.”

“That also makes sense.”

The content of the conversation is about monsters.

Next came .

“…Hey, that necklace.”

“Oh, you mean this?”

“Did you come here as a reward? You look pretty.”

“That’s right. Luckily, was discovered.”

Joo Na-yong wiggled his fingers at Moon Bo-ra’s words.

Actually, I wanted to ask you now.

“Ho, by any chance… did Yoo Se-ha walk it for you personally?”

Bo-ra Moon barely managed to swallow the thought of answering ‘yes’ without thinking.

I was almost in big trouble.

‘… ‘That’s strange.’

I feel a little strange today.

No, I have to confess, things have been a bit strange lately.

Should I say that it is difficult to control my emotions?

I almost gave a rash answer just now.

“…No. I just roughly used what was given to me after distributing the rewards.”

“…Yeah, really?”

“But why…”

“No, it’s a bit childish, but… I thought I didn’t receive anything from Yoo Se-ha.”

“yes?”

Joo Na-yong said.

The shield that Mahana has always cherished is actually an item given to her by Yoo Se-ha.

That’s why I cherish it.

“…I’m not really looking for anything materialistic. I’m just…sad. Even if I say it, I sound childish. Haha…”

Joo Na-yong scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.

“In addition, I’m the only one who doesn’t have a nickname. Mahana calls me Mnyang, and you call me Bora Bora.”

“…I don’t really like it. I just gave up. That’s why I changed my Saturday and Talk profile name. Don’t misunderstand.”

“Anyway, it’s just that…he hasn’t been petting me well lately…”

“……As an aside, how many times have you received it?”

“Huh? Uh, maybe two or three times?”

“I did it once…”

“aha…”

After they finished speaking, the corners of their mouths twitched for a moment.

The fact that Joo Na-yong has never received more expressions of affection.

The fact that Moon Bo-ra’s [The Little Mermaid’s voice] was actually done by Yoo Se-ha herself.

Two people laughing loudly.

With a subtle smile, I drank.

In fact, Mahana tries to ignore the fact that she received everything and ignores it.

*

A subtle silence follows.

The two just sipped from the glasses they were holding.

“…Oh, should I order some more snacks?”

“…I’m fine. Do you want to eat sea eel?”

“Uh, I’ve never tried it before…”

“Then, try it. It’s more delicious than you think.”

For a moment, Joo Na-yong was worried.

At least in his memory, Moon Bo-ra’s words were ‘tasteless…’ ‘I’ve never heard that sound before.

I was as surprised as ever.

Joo Na-yong also knows now.

‘… Rover.’

Looking at her appearance, Moon Bo-ra appears to be a young lady raised with honor, but she was more omnivorous than anyone else.

Therefore, the word ‘delicious’ that came out of her mouth was somewhat unreliable.

But I soon brushed it off.

It’s a bit unfair to come all the way here and refuse.

“Well, why not try it?”

“Understood, Auntie? I would like two servings of grilled sea eel here.”

“yes~”

After the order was placed.

Not long after, a new snack arrives.

“Yongeuum?”

“Are you okay?”

It’s definitely delicious.

But that’s it.

It wasn’t a delicacy enough to relieve the suffocating atmosphere.

The two knew each other well.

Even if it’s a drinking party where you get to know each other…

The fact that a subtle exploration battle lies beneath it.

In the end, Joo Na-yong, who is weak in this patience battle, attacks first.

“…Do you remember the question I asked at the bridge?”

Moon Bo-ra tilted her head at Joo Na-yong’s sudden words.

Soon, memories of the past pass through my mind.

―You and Yoo Se-ha… Like that… Sai?

The question is, are you dating?

“……ah.”

“Well, I’m just asking. Since I didn’t answer properly when you called… I’ll ask again anyway.”

Junayong clears his throat.

“…Yoo Se-ha and… are you… like that?”

“……”

Moon Bo-ra thought as she took half a sip of soju.

Common sense tells me that this is Joo Na-yong, who has been with me for several months.

There was no way she didn’t know the answer.

Still, the reason I’m asking…

It was said that Joo Na-yong’s inner anxiety was growing.

‘What did I answer then?’

-Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, w-what is that-!

… … What a shameful reaction.

Moon Bo-ra, who felt slightly embarrassed, this time answered calmly and as if nothing had happened.

“…You’ve seen it all along. It’s not like that.”

“…Yeah, right. I’m sorry…”

“no.”

Originally, it would have ended here.

Moon Bo-ra didn’t have the slightest desire to get along with Joo Na-yong.

She is also a precious friend.

Although he clearly has a crush on Yoo Se-ha, it is also important to note that it is not at the stage where it can be called love.

‘… … ‘

Yes, I guess so.

Gii-ing-!

That is, if the [Mermaid’s Necklace] around her neck didn’t turn red.

An item that increases the owner’s [Obsession].

The necklace, which has not been taken off her arms even for a moment, has weakened Moon Bo-ra’s feelings of reason just a little.

In the end, this made me add one word as if crawling.

These are sincere ‘feelings’ that even Moon Bo-ra does not realize.

“…Not yet.”

“……uh?”

Silence as if dead.

Bo-ra Moon, who answered with dull eyes, soon began to regain her senses.

‘… huh?’

Soon he realized what he had said.

He covers his mouth with both hands and looks at Joo Na-yong with surprised eyes.

‘… Well, I’m right now… what?’

Confusing.

Ha, but…

First of all, it has to be resolved.

Bo-ra Moon quickly waved both hands before things got even more awkward.

“Si, shi, it’s a slip of the tongue! I said it wrong.”

“Yeah, really?”

“My, my, I’m like that… stupid, idiotic, tactless, someone who only likes to make fun of others, and a scoundrel… there’s no way you’d like that, right?”

“…Uh, well, there’s no need to say that much…”

“Oh, not anyway. No!”

“Yong-eun… I’ll trust you.”

Silence follows again.

Joo Na-yong looks at Moon Bo-ra with a shocked expression.

Moon Bo-ra can barely console her face, which is red all the way to the nape of her neck.

I figured this was going to happen and tried to get up.

Then the Tok alarm sound rings.

Go talk!

“huh?”

“A message… came?”

The two checked the messages they had received.

【Yoo Se-ha】: Where are you two now? I finally finished work so I watched it… Too late, right? I’ll explain the details tomorrow.

“……”

“……”

The two looked at each other at the truly campaign-like talk.

And he smiles brightly as if it’s never been that way.

“Shall we go back first? Nayong?”

“huh.”

“You have to go back and scold us a lot, right? You ignored everything we said and then sent it to your daughter. Right?”

“huh!”

Two people smiling with subtle anger.

The boundary of magical power flowing between the two was so scary that it started to give off a bloody force and threaten the surrounding guests.
