Kang Si-woo immediately went outside, saying he would get something to eat.

I told them to take Noh Chang-hoon if they were going to do that, but this time they both stopped me.

If you leave someone who can’t even move properly, neither of you can go out.

So Kang Si-woo, who was still in good health, went outside, and Noh Chang-hoon took charge of monitoring and protecting me.

Fortunately, after some time, my body recovered enough to walk.

However, it wasn’t to the point where I could fight.

It was difficult to walk around and I was sweating profusely from the pain.

In the end, I had no choice but to lie down again.

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me like that and sighed deeply.

“You’re feeling fine, right?”

“Yes. It’s okay.”

“Even after playing it all, it feels like I’ve never seen something like that before.”

“Well, wouldn’t it be okay.”

I looked at the lower body for a moment.

I didn’t feel like anything was wrong.

Even when I was walking around earlier, I didn’t think there was a problem.

There was a hypothesis I had been thinking about for a while, and it seemed like it might be correct.

“Hey, Changhoon.”

“Why.”

“Perhaps I can regenerate this body closer to its original form.”

“What?”

“I’ve tried to build muscles by exercising before.”

I probably worked out with Kim Yeon-hwa, but no matter how heavy I lifted, I couldn’t gain muscle.

Even when I was injured and beaten in various ways, I was able to play it back properly.

In a situation where it would not be strange if the disability remained, there was only one thing that could be guessed if the disability did not remain.

“Doesn’t it feel like shape memory alloy?”

“Shape memory alloy. Are people metal?”

Noh Chang-hoon showed an expression of boredom.

To be honest, the tone was a bit strange.

But there was no other way to explain it.

Usually, people with regenerative abilities in the original work were not all-powerful.

If it was burned, it could not regenerate, and there were cases where bones were not attached properly and the body became limp.

But even if I left it alone, my body returned to its normal state.

I thought about that and then got up again.

I felt pain in my lower body, but I couldn’t help it.

What I found out while walking earlier was that the body itself had already finished regenerating.

It’s just that the pain remains because it was chewed once.

Just walking a few steps made me moan, so I couldn’t help it.

In the end, I once again lay down and grumbled.

“Anyway, if you’re going to search, search carefully. Why are you making such a fuss by chewing me out to the end?”

“I thought there was some way since you walked in confidently.”

“There was a way, because I didn’t think I would die anyway.”

“Ugh.”

Noh Chang-hoon made a pitiful expression.

I quietly averted my gaze, then looked straight at Noh Chang-hoon.

When I gave him a look as if he was complaining about something, Noh Chang-hoon kept his mouth shut as if he had nothing to say.

“It’s okay if it ends well. Isn’t that right?”

“Yes, yes. It’s okay if it ends well. But, are you okay?”

“Why?”

“You are crying.”

“Oh?”

I wiped my tears with my sleeve.

I thought it was so painful that it brought tears to my eyes when I was walking around earlier.

It looked like she was really crying.

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me with a confused expression.

It was clear that he probably thought it was pathetic.

I tried to say something, but decided to just sit still.

Then Noh Chang-hoon suddenly turned his head.

I looked blankly in Noh Chang-hoon’s direction.

Kang Si-woo was entering the building with both hands full of plastic bags.

I stood up in joy, but fell back down in pain.

Kang Si-woo laughed and said to me.

“Are you still sick?”

“Oh? huh. Everything seems to be better, but I think it will be difficult to walk for a while.”

“Is it a bit severe?”

“Yes. Just walking by brings tears to my eyes.”

There was something ambiguous in the air.

But I couldn’t figure out what that air was.

I thought for a moment and decided to just act casually.

In any case, there is nothing that can be solved by pointing out the atmosphere.

So, I ate the food Kang Si-woo had gotten from somewhere, drank a few bottles of soju, and then just collapsed.

Then, when I came to my senses, I was in the faculty dormitory at Seunghak Campus.

“… Ah?”

“Are you awake?”

Noh Chang-hoon, who was peeling apples, sighed deeply.

I looked around blankly and asked one question.

“Did you know how to peel an apple?”

“Because there is nothing bad about learning it. I learned it from my mom.”

“Oh, oh. Huh. Yes.”

“You fucking bitch, why were you laughing just a moment ago?”

“Oh, no. No.”

I couldn’t say that I laughed because the name was funny.

Fortunately, Noh Chang-hoon did not interrogate me further and continued to apologize.

Meanwhile, I slowly explained what had happened.

First of all, he said that the two of them brought me to Seunghak Campus after I was exhausted after drinking.

There were almost no zombies, and I was comfortably asleep because I was drunk.

So, he said, he was able to reach Seunghak Campus in five hours at most.

“Is there anything else?”

I asked Noh Chang-hoon while eating the peeled apple.

Oh, this is delicious. If I get a chance later, I’ll try planting apples.

“Yes. The entire pseudo-religious force in the south evaporated.”

“… Huh?”

“It seems that all those who believe in pseudo-religion have moved to the north. Are you going to Seoul or something?”

“That’s something a little strange?”

“It’s not something we should think about right now.”

“That’s right.”

Whatever they did in Seoul was none of our business.

There was so much to do for the time being that I couldn’t turn my attention to that.

First, we had to somehow clean up the zombies in Busan.

And then you have to go to other areas and protect power plants and other places.

Survivors also had to be rescued, and rice paddies and fields had to be created so they could make a living.

I’m not sure what will happen with the fruits right now, but I need to plant at least some old crops.

I thought about the things I had to do in a daze and then said.

“I’m going to be very busy for a while.”

There was no way people would leave a talented worker like me alone.

So, wouldn’t it be just work day and night?

“No, you don’t have to work.”

“… ?”

I opened my mouth blankly.

Noh Chang-hoon answered me like that.

“I don’t need to work for a while. You are on vacation.”

“No, why?! I thought you would definitely ask me to do something?”

“Even if I can’t do it, I don’t have to do anything for a month or two, so they told me to just rest.”

“… Why?”

“I don’t know that. Since you’ve been working so hard, you might want to take a break.”

I desperately shook my head.

But I couldn’t think of a good reason.

There was no reason for Kang Si-woo to let me rest.

Kang Si-woo has a lot of affection, but he is a person who knows how to distinguish between public and private matters.

You probably know what happens if I take a break.

And in the first place, there was no way I could rest well now.

It’s a bit annoying to be the only one sitting around while everyone else is working.

It was clear that he would have fun for a day or two, and then start wandering around looking for work.

“I’m in good shape!”

I got up from the bed and put my hands on my waist.

Although I was a little sick, it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t work.

Noh Chang-hoon opened his mouth for a moment and then spoke as if he was surprised.

“I thought you would play without doing anything if you could play.”

“Who do you see as a scoundrel?”

“Not really, but I still rest when I can.”

“Why?”

“If you don’t rest now, you won’t have a chance to rest in the future.”

“Ah.”

Then I remembered one fact.

At best, we only recaptured half of Busan.

There were still a lot of zombies in the other half, and it was up to us to clean them up.

Uniting various communities and establishing order is what we must do.

Noh Chang-hoon was right. It was clear that if I didn’t rest now, I wouldn’t have a chance to rest in the future.

“And there is also mental fatigue. Just relax quietly.”

“Mental fatigue?”

I smiled triumphantly.

Maybe it was me before, but now I don’t have to worry about mental fatigue at all.

He said that after going through a series of flashbacks, he became completely aware of what the problem was.

So it was good to say that there were no problems now.

I spoke triumphantly, filled with those emotions.

“I’m not kidding, I’m really at Ultimate now.”

“Asshole.”

“Ah, why!”

“Now, student Yeji. Would you like to put your hands on your head?”

“On the head, hands? Ah.”

I took off my intact headset and smiled awkwardly.

No, that. that’s interesting. I thought it wasn’t there when I was in the building.

For some reason, I suddenly felt like swearing.

Yeah, whatever. It would be absurd for someone who said he had no mental problems to be obsessed with a headset.

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me as if I was pathetic and said.

“For your information, just know that I showed signs of sleepwalking again today.”

“Ugh… !”

I put my headset back on and slowly chewed the apple.

Well, it might get better later.

Still, it seemed like a lot of the resistance had disappeared now.

After thinking for a while, I decided to ask Noh Chang-hoon.

“Hey, Changhoon.”

“Why.”

“Don’t you think I would look pretty if I had short hair?”

Naturally, Noh Chang-hoon’s answer did not come back.

I just smiled quietly.
