A few weeks have passed since we killed the Count.

Meanwhile, the three powers gathered together and focused on recovering Busan.

Since now was the right time to retake Busan, there was no choice.

In a situation where there is no high-ranking mutant to command the zombies, you have to move quickly to fight at an advantage.

So for several weeks, other people were called from place to place without rest.

To be honest, I was really sorry that I took the vacation.

That’s because everyone was so busy moving around.

In addition, as each force established new bases for restoration, the distance that had to be moved further increased.

Although it was only a few hours away, traveling on poor roads was dangerous.

So the days continued where it was difficult to even see the faces of my acquaintances.

Kang Si-woo went outside and fought zombies, and was accompanied by several guards, led by Lee Ah-young and Kim Yeon-hwa.

Gong Goseul was so busy hammering that he couldn’t even keep his promise to meet me.

They said they would process the count’s corpse to make weapons, but there was still no news.

Kang Seong-hwa said that because he lived in a military base for a long time, he ended up sitting there.

Kim Dae-han and Kim Ki-jun also never returned to campus except to sleep.

There was never a day when the lights went out at Hyeonrimgwan.

Choi Ye-ji and Professor Jeong Chang-hoon coordinated numerous discussions with the leaders of each faction.

and… Oh yeah.

The trio of saints seemed to have integrated well into the campus in their own way.

Cha Soo-hyun, who fell in love with Kang Si-woo, didn’t have to worry because she clenched her teeth in the first place.

Kang Shin clung to Cha Soo Hyun’s side, saying that he couldn’t leave her alone now that she had become like that.

As for Choi Ha-rang, well… Although Kang Si-woo complained that it was too burdensome.

Still, I wasn’t worried because all three seemed to be doing well.

The problem was me.

Because I took an unexpectedly long vacation, I felt like I was dying because I had nothing to do.

It’s Noh Chang-hoon, whatever. He said it was fun just to be with me and sat down.

But I was bored and felt like I was being tortured.

No, that. What should I say?

The moment you try to keep a watchful eye, the people around you turn on their eyes and stop you.

So the only thing I could do was hang out in the faculty dormitory.

In fact, it was almost impossible to even go outside the dormitory except when dealing with menstrual problems.

Everyone was watching me carefully to see if I was there to work.

“This is unfair.”

I just lifted the knight and said.

Noh Chang-hoon looked at my chessboard for a moment, then looked at me as if something was unfair.

I shook my head once, then explained again.

“Why do I have to rest here all the time? Everyone else is working.”

“If you want to rest, rest.”

“My body is fine now.”

“You’re out of your mind.”

“Okay, whatever. Let’s say so.”

I caught Noh Chang-hoon’s bishop with nitro.

Noh Chang-hoon looked interested and moved his queen to put pressure on my king.

I moved King’s position and continued.

“Still, isn’t it a bit over the line to play Tangja Tangja for more than 3 weeks?”

“Why?”

“I don’t think it’s okay to waste the community’s resources without working.”

I smiled triumphantly.

It was my own fatal logic that I had thought of in order to somehow work during this time.

Noh Chang-hoon nodded.

Then he moved the bishop and declared a check.

So I hurriedly moved another piece to clear the check, and this time I got checkmate.

And Noh Chang-hoon checked my logic as well.

“For your information, the agenda regarding your break was passed unanimously.”

“Oh?”

“No matter how short the supplies are, I will let them go to you first.”

“Why is that!?”

“Why? Since you contributed a lot to getting the count, I’m telling you to rest.”

Noh Chang-hoon laughed as he organized the chessboard.

Somehow I thought I looked cute.

It was just an immature look at his younger brother.

I opened my mouth for a moment, then closed it.

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me and said.

“I think it’s one step back for three steps forward.”

“Yes, yes. Okay.”

“For the time being, continue to rest and focus on clearing your mind.”

“… ”

This was the reason why I couldn’t actively work.

There was almost no opportunity to relieve the mental fatigue accumulated while surviving.

The real reason may be that I can’t continue to manipulate him when he still has PTSD.

No matter how healthy a machine seems, it will break down if you continue to use it without checking it.

I also sympathize with that reason to some extent, so I just stayed still and rested.

Above all, it was a burden for Noh Chang-hoon for me to rest like this.

You have to stay with me at all times in case of any unexpected situation, and if I show any signs of sleepwalking, you have to calm me down.

So, it’s like something that only a decent person can do.

It’s not like it’s not effective at all, so I couldn’t stretch it out unnecessarily.

Since he was willing to sacrifice his time for me, it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t go that strong.

Still, there was one thing I believed in.

In just a few more days, a month will be over, so I thought I could start working from then on.

If so, you might have a chance to drive a red clay truck around Busan and take out zombies.

The feeling of swinging a baton still remains in my hand, and I’m itching for it.

“Now that I think about it, I guess Siwoo is using the blade well.”

“That, the arm of Buddha?”

“Yes. After handing it over at the time of the count, I didn’t think I would use it anyway, so I just gave it to him.”

Anyway, I thought Kang Si-woo would be able to use it well.

In the first place, in the original work, the great sword was mainly used rather than the sword or the attitude.

Since he was a guy who paid for food even if you gave him a sword, it was clear that he would be using it as his own arm by now.

Perhaps I was right, Noh Chang-hoon said with a grin.

“They say you can cut down a person with a single sword.”

“Of course! That thing is sharp enough to pierce my stomach.”

“What?”

“Approximately so.”

I also felt stinging eyes asking if I had put my body through harm.

So I quickly averted my gaze and put another board game in the corner of the room on the desk.

Fortunately, Noh Chang-hoon did not question further and just sighed.

It was like an unspoken pressure to please take care of yourself from next time.

There’s nothing you can do when it’s necessary, but there’s no need to use your body on a regular basis either.

Yes, that was correct.

But things didn’t work out that way, so there was nothing I could do.

Still, I decided to use my body kindly for the time being, and started playing board games.

The board game we played this time was a guessing game.

At the beginning, roll the dice to create an event, and place the location according to the number of the dice.

And it was a method of finding clues in that location, and it seemed like it would be fun just to read the instructions.

So, I rolled the dice first, then created the event and arranged the location.

“Hey, Changhun. What are you doing?”

And then he called Noh Chang-hoon, who was reading some document.

Noh Chang-hoon took down the documents and glanced at the desk.

Then he sighed, put down the documents, and said.

“What kind of game is it this time?”

“It’s a guessing game. Seonghwa found one and gave it to me.”

“Really?”

“Yes. By the way, what document were you reading earlier? Are you going to make a payment?”

Noh Chang-hoon’s expression as he looked at the documents earlier was unusual.

And when I asked him to play, his reaction was a little different than usual.

Originally, Noh Chang-hoon was willing to play board games with me or talk to me if there was nothing special to do.

If that wasn’t the case, I would watch movies or dramas with him without hesitation.

I had never been able to sigh like I did today in the past few weeks.

It seemed like there was definitely going to be some trouble.

I closed my eyes and spoke triumphantly.

“If you have any concerns, please tell me.”

What is this good friend thing all about?

In times like these, we are friends because we can share our concerns and come up with solutions together.

So I urged Noh Chang-hoon to quickly tell the truth, but he remained silent and focused on the game.

I looked at Noh Chang-hoon blankly for a moment.

It’s not that you didn’t hear what I was saying.

I just clenched my teeth and ignored it.

This was quite unexpected.

Considering that Noh Chang-hoon has rarely ignored me.

Naturally, I became curious about the contents of the document.

I pretended to focus on the game for a moment and went and sat down next to Noh Chang-hoon.

And I took a quick look at the documents.

The document had so much messy writing that it was difficult to read properly.

But even so, I was able to roughly understand the content.

The content written in the document was simple. The theme seemed to be understanding the dynamics of external forces.

Survivors in other areas seemed to be living harder than expected.

It was a thought in many ways.

It is common to say that people work hard even if they live on the backs of fellow survivors.

“Don’t look.”

“Evil, why!”

Noh Chang-hoon must have realized that I was looking at the documents, so he covered my eyes with his hand.

Then he put the documents away and pointed at the game board as if telling him to focus on the game.

I tried to protest, but I just gave up.

They say it’s better to get beaten first, but it seemed like information I didn’t need to know right now.

Even if not, I felt like I would naturally find out later.

There was information written in the document about a force that had been gaining notoriety by harassing other survivors recently.

Coincidentally, the place the force was heading to was Busan, which was rumored to be a good place to live, so conflict seemed inevitable.

Then you will find out naturally.

I, who has to fight on the front line, cannot afford to not know information about my enemies.

So there was no need to know now, so I focused on the game.

Fortunately, the board game was very fun.
