Fortunately, the placard was not firmly fixed anywhere.

Since the noose was simply hanging on the protruding exterior wall, it was easy to take it down.

I looked at the removed placard for a moment, then folded it neatly.

I felt like I wanted to tear it apart, but still.

Looking at it’s relatively rough shape, it looked like he had made it himself.

look.

The writing on the placard here is also Noh Chang-hoon’s handwriting.

I had seen it once before, and I remembered it because Lee Eung was portrayed in a unique way.

I draw it so that it is neither distorted nor round.

“I looked at it.”

I placed the placard in a place where light would not reach it.

I don’t know how to store it for a long time, but I thought it would be fine as long as it was kept out of direct sunlight.

And now I’m not that angry.

You didn’t do this because you were sure I would come back.

As much as I was looking forward to the welcome event, when I thought about it again, I didn’t feel that bad.

Of course, I had no intention of forgiving him.

If it just felt good, Noh Chang-hoon was sure to do other similar pranks.

And then, instead of just a few people laughing and moving on, everyone will know.

First of all, I didn’t think it would be that big of a joke since I’m a kid who knows what’s good.

Just enough to make me tired for a few weeks?

It was clear that if the contents of this placard were known, people would get tired.

Everyone I know will call me an angel.

What kind of angel is an angel? It’s not some kind of pseudo-religion.

“… So, where do you want to be?”

I had to think about it a bit.

Noh Chang-hoon was stronger and faster than me normally, so I couldn’t break his head unless it was a surprise attack.

It was obvious that I would either block it with my arm or it would become a mess.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to hide the hammer for a reasonable amount of time and then sneak away when I spot it.

Of course, there was also an option to just wait here.

Since there were people who saw me on the way, it seemed like my arrival was known.

Even if Noh Chang-hoon and Kang Si-woo knew I was there, they didn’t seem to come later.

I’m sure they’ll both take care of their business and then come straight here.

Or he’ll try to find me. Anyway, coming here didn’t change.

“Standing near the door is a bit awkward.”

The area around the door was boring.

And since both Noh Chang-hoon and I ate as much as we could, it was clear that we wouldn’t be surprised.

I needed a place that was unexpected.

As it happened, I knew one place.

I thought jumping out of the window and swinging a hammer would be pretty cool.

Otherwise, the rooftop would also be fine. There was a hand mirror or something like that here, so I could sneak a peek outside and get hit.

Once I made that decision, there was nothing to hesitate about.

Even though it has been a few weeks since I came, not much has changed in the accommodation.

Thanks to this, it didn’t take long to complete the preparations.

After combining this with the knowledge learned from the industrial complex, the perfect camouflage was completed.

“Baby, if you get hit with this, it’ll hurt quite a bit.”

I giggled.

The last time I bet and got hit, it really hurt.

Even though it was a hammer, I remembered that it was quite strong because we hit it with our own strength.

Of course, it won’t hurt too much, but it will be enough to punish you.

I held out the hand mirror slightly and started waiting, and soon I saw someone coming.

Of course, it was Kang Si-woo and Noh Chang-hoon.

They both started coming as soon as they heard I was there, so they seemed quite busy.

I waited for a moment and adjusted my posture.

I thought Noh Chang-hoon would come first, but I didn’t know he would come with Kang Si-woo.

Something could go wrong if I jumped out the window like this, so I needed to adjust my posture for a moment.

Fortunately, even though I adjusted my posture like that, neither of them seemed to notice.

Now all that was left was to wait, jump out, and make a surprise attack.

And after a few minutes, it seemed like the two had now walked completely close to the dormitory.

I slowly put down the hand mirror and jumped out the window.

“… !”

“What, what!”

It was good that neither of them noticed until the moment I threw myself away.

But then something flashed, and the head of the hammer flew away.

I landed in complete panic, and only then did I get a glimpse of the situation.

Kang Si-woo was sheathing his sword with surprised eyes. Noh Chang-hoon was looking at me as if he knew that would happen.

Perhaps because I jumped out of the window, Kang Si-woo reflexively threw away his weapon.

Normally, it would have bounced off, but since it was a hammer, it seemed like a clean cut.

“You were surprised, Mr. Yeji.”

Kang Si-woo grumbled.

I was taken aback by Kang Si-woo’s grumbling, but then nodded and said.

“Sorry, Noh Chang-hoon, I meant to hit that bastard.”

“If I had made a mistake, I would have cut off my hand.”

“That’s scary.”

“Well, it probably wouldn’t have been cut properly anyway.”

Kang Si-woo said that and told us to go inside.

I had some work to do before that, so I threw the hammer, with only the handle left, on the floor.

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me like that and made a pitiful expression.

Seeing that made me even more excited.

I sighed and argued.

“So who would make a placard like that!?”

“I thought you would expect something like a welcome event.”

“Yes, I expected it. It’s not that way… !”

“And from next time, he’ll suddenly hit you. The intention to attack was clearly visible.”

“… How did you know?”

“The window was open, and there was something like a mirror sticking out.”

“Ah.”

“That’s a hand mirror, right? He would have looked outside, and when I came out, he would have jumped down and tried to hit me.”

“That’s right.”

“Will you accept it?”

“Noisy! Kang Si-woo didn’t notice!”

It was such a pitiful expression that I felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

It would be better if Kang Si-woo really didn’t notice.

It was clear that he didn’t care that he was thinking about something.

I guess I relaxed a little because I could prepare for anything that might pop up anyway.

“Do you want to hit me?”

Noh Chang-hoon said with a chuckle.

I shook my head and went into the dorm.

It was clear that if he was hit once, he would defend himself with his muscles.

Since he doesn’t have the personality to properly treat me, he’s probably trying to make fun of me again.

So, it was time to stop joking and move on to real business.

“You seem to have learned a lot.”

Kang Si-woo sat down on a chair and said.

I must have always carried it with me, so before I knew it, I had a ballpoint pen and notebook in my hands.

I nodded and started talking, but then I asked a question.

“Who did you hear that from?”

“I was at Hyeonrimgwan. I had a brief chat with Mr. Changseong Jeong.”

“Ah.”

“Because the story progressed without hesitation, I was told to listen to it myself.”

Of course, I talked about it casually.

I didn’t organize it and just said what I remembered.

Now that things have come to this, I thought it would be a good idea to start the story by organizing things properly this time.

So, I started by talking about the truth about each faction.

Well, Hamodan hid in the forest. The industrial complex forces were not cannibals.

The Jinju Citizens’ Union was a powerful force. Things like that.

There was so much more to talk about than I thought, so I had to just talk for tens of minutes.

They both intervened and asked questions.

In particular, Noh Chang-hoon showed great interest in external forces.

Since it was information about a force that he had not necessarily focused on, his curiosity as a writer seemed to be piqued.

Kang Si-woo, on the other hand, showed interest in information about talented people.

The same goes for Lee Sang and his acquaintances who were in the power of the industrial complex.

The same goes for the masked people we met in Hamodan’s forces.

He requested detailed information about each faction and saints of the Jinju Citizens’ Union.

It didn’t seem like he was asking me to tell him so he could take action. I could sense a shallow desire to win.

Perhaps he was reminiscing about the past without even realizing it.

Before returning, Kang Si-woo was at the forefront of the war.

That memory is ingrained in my body… It would be nice to do it.

I don’t know if this expression is correct.

Anyway, after telling everything I knew, I said the last and most important thing.

“A week for reconnaissance purposes. And now that I’ve spent one day, I have to return to Jinju within six days.”

“Do you really need to go back?”

“That’s it… ”

First of all, the Ochu was still there.

The items inside were items, but they were equipment that Noh Chang-hoon had made for me.

I couldn’t throw it away just because it was dangerous.

And if I don’t go now, I don’t know when I’ll go again.

Above all, there were still a few things that bothered me.

There was Park Kang-chan, and there was also a group of saints who were strange enough to have crossed the line.

So even though it was dangerous, I wanted to go back.

Besides that, there are probably people who are dissatisfied with the Jinju Citizens’ Union.

I couldn’t be here alone, even for those people.

That’s roughly how I explained what I meant.

Of course, neither of them seemed to be very pleased.

It is no exaggeration to say that all of the goals had already been achieved, so it seemed that they did not want me to go to a dangerous place again.

“More than anything, it is difficult for me to die even if I try. Now you can survive being hit by a rifle?”

“It’s not something you can say for sure.”

“… Yeji Lee, did you get hit by a rifle too?”

“Child, that’s not important.”

Their worries continued even though I gave them many reasons.

In the end, I was able to end my worries only after I told him I had a plan.
