─Why aaa!!!

A loud siren sounds.

At first I couldn’t even hear it.

I thought it was simply a topic alert malfunction.

I just thought it would ring moderately and then stop on its own.

In fact, I wasn’t paying any attention to the external situation. Since I was in the middle of Iria’s arms and intoxicated with happiness, I didn’t care about everything.

‘It won’t be a big deal. If there was a monster infestation, the remaining manpower would be enough… … .’

Complacency in thinking silences the sense of crisis.

That’s how cozy Iria’s embrace was.

It’s hard to tell how many days have passed now.

At first, it was a burden, but now I felt regretful that my time with Iria was running out.

“Sihoo… ? Come to your senses! Wow, what on earth is happening all of a sudden… … ?”

However, as the siren continues to sound, Iria eventually responds first. She, who was trying to ignore it, lifts her upper body and looks around.

“Ha… ? sister? Could it be that someone was playing a prank?”

I felt sad for no reason as Iria’s heart was taken away.

I just wanted to fall in love with happiness again.

I feel regretful, like an immature child.

“It’s strange to go through something like that. It’s been ringing since a while ago, right?”

“This may be Moran or Park Bi-hwa deliberately setting off the alarm to tell us to come out now… … .”

ㅡKwadangtangtang… !!!!

As soon as I can say those words, the break room door opens wide. No, the door is completely smashed open. The door was ripped off its hinges, meaningless even though the doorknob was locked.

And the identity of the person who forced the door open in such an ignorant way is none other than… … .

“Hurry, both of you, come out… !! It’s an emergency now!!!”

“Now is not the time to be like this! We have to go immediately! Right now-!!!”

Park Bi-hwa and Moran shout in unison.

I step inside with an urgent voice.

I don’t know what’s going on, but neither of them are real noblemen.

But looking at his voice and expression, it seems really urgent. It seemed like something with a bright red face was running towards me. The clothes were also untangled for some reason.

It doesn’t seem like it’s urgent at all.

I’m sure this isn’t acting.

If that happens, Iria might explode again.

“What is it? What’s going on all of a sudden? Is everyone making a fuss? Breaking down the door?”

“There is a gate in Seoul now… … !”

“What is that? The gate is enough for just the two of us, right? Aren’t you somewhat used to medium size by now?”

Iria answers, interrupting Geomjae.

It was a colder reaction than expected.

No matter how urgent the situation was, he must have been very annoyed that the little time he had left with me was interrupted. This is the same thought for me.

And as Iria said, any gate could be resolved to some extent with just Park Bi-hwa and Moran’s power.

There didn’t seem to be any reason to make a fuss and look for us.

“Uh… I understand how you feel, but this is a real emergency!!”

“That’s right! We didn’t want to disturb our sister’s time, but if we didn’t move quickly… … !”

They explain the situation to Iria’s cold response by constantly calling her ‘sister’ and using other respectful terms. Judging from his consistent attitude, it certainly seems like this is not an ordinary thing.

“… Okay, did some kind of super large gate appear? Otherwise it wouldn’t move. Like I said two days ago, I need to receive fair compensation first.”

Nevertheless, Iria’s reaction was the same.

Cutting out words with a consistent attitude.

Iria’s face still looked dissatisfied.

Even though Iria’s main job is being a hero, her top priority was to put everything aside and be with me right now. He seemed to want to somehow preserve this precious time.

But Iria’s firm attitude is in vain… … .

“Yes-! A super-large gate has now appeared in Seoul-?!”

“”Well, what… … ?!””

Something truly unexpected happened.

***

ㅡTututututututu… !

Inside the tactical helicopter with the Seongsam Guild logo.

A helicopter rises over Seoul.

It was like that. We immediately finished preparations for dispatch and were moving by helicopter.

And towards the very large gate.

At first, I thought it was an uncharacteristic joke.

I thought it was a medium or large size that was a bit big.

I never thought a ‘super’ large gate would appear… … .

‘This is without a doubt a very large gate. It looks the same as the one I saw in Gangwon-do, right?’

The sky was as black as dark clouds.

A dark and gloomy atmosphere prevails.

An unprecedentedly large gate was opened, covering the entire sky above Seoul.

A vortex of light purple light was creeping in the sky in the middle of the city. The speed of the vortex was too slow to be considered a typhoon.

It seemed like monsters would pour down like rain at any moment through what appeared to be the center of the gate.

“How on earth did this happen…? … .”

“This is my first time seeing a gate this big… … .”

Everyone who saw the huge gate with the naked eye from inside the helicopter was speechless.

This was my second time seeing it, too.

It’s hard to get used to the grand size.

It looked like a huge black hole trying to swallow the Earth.

[Enter through the gate entrance! Everyone, prepare for the descent… !]

As the helicopter increases altitude, a radio signal is heard.

It looks like we’re almost there now.

An entrance that looks like the eye of a typhoon is visible beneath your feet.

The method of entering the super large gate was simple.

The entrance is a whirlpool that looks like the eye of a typhoon.

All you had to do was climb to a higher place than the gate and descend to the central core of the gate.

ㅡGiiing… !

When a certain altitude is reached, the rear hatch of the helicopter opens. Stop jumping in like this.

[Everyone, take care of yourselves! And Mr. Sihoo… ?]

Just as I was about to jump off,

Seong Ji-hyeon’s voice is heard on the radio.

I had no choice but to stop when I heard that voice.

“Mr. Sihu! Just a moment before I go… !!”

Just then, Seong Ji-hyun appeared in the cockpit. As the incident was an incident, she, the representative, also followed along.

Seong Ji-hyeon, dressed in a suit, runs towards me.

Short hair flutters here and there due to the wind pressure.

Nevertheless, Seong Ji-hyeon steadfastly ran to me.

“Ah, Jihyun? Don’t worry too much. If something happens, I will withdraw immediately─”

“ㅡJjook♥”

“Eup… ? Mr. Jihyun… … ?”

As I try to reassure her, a kiss suddenly follows. A slight tremor can be felt from Seong Ji-hyeon’s lips.

“Of course it should be so. Because you are not alone anymore… … .”

“Jihyeon… … .”

“I’m really sorry for not being able to be with Sihu.”

After finishing the kiss, Seong Ji-hyun lowers her head and hesitates, saying that she doesn’t want to leave like this.

“There is no need to feel sorry about that. Who has always worked hard behind the scenes?”

“Ha, but… … . Now, I don’t think I can imagine life without Sihoo. If something happens to Sihoo, my child… … !”

Seong Ji-hyun, who always maintained a poker face and showed a thorough appearance, unusually revealed her emotions and showed that she was worried.

Since it was an unknown space where nothing was really known yet, it was natural to be worried.

ㅡKkook… !

I hugged her without saying a word.

Iria just looked at this.

Everyone was considerate of their time.

Anyone who sees it will think that we are really saying our final goodbyes.

“Don’t worry too much, Jihyun. I will definitely come back. Don’t we have to raise our diet too?”

“Si, Mr. Sihoo… … ?”

With the intention of putting Seong Ji-hyeon at ease, I deliberately kept quiet and smiled.

What is your final goodbye?

I will come back alive somehow.

If there is even the slightest danger, we will withdraw immediately.

I’m not in a situation where I have to risk my life for a small amount of money like I used to, and I have four women to take responsibility for, so I can’t risk my life carelessly.

The world is turning upside down, and I have to be able to stay still as I look at my woman who is so nauseous and trembling with anxiety. I only have a few people, but the responsibility weighs heavily on my shoulders.

And in most cases, there won’t be anything dangerous.

We are with the strongest forces in Korea,

There was nothing to be afraid of at all.

In the past, I risked my life alone without any companions, but now I have an ally who is more reliable than anyone else.

Aren’t even existing legendary heroes on our side?

“If you’re feeling anxious, bring in Grandma Makrye as well. If it were him, he would have broken the huge gate in two, right?”

It was time for me to lighten the serious mood with an uncharacteristic joke.

[Crackling… ! Abnormal air current detection!! Maintaining altitude is no longer difficult! Please descend as quickly as possible!]

At this moment, the aircraft trembles due to abnormal air currents.

We must not delay any longer.

I respond by returning to my normal self.

“Then I really will come back, honey.”

“Haaat? Mr. Sihoo… … ?!”

ㅡJjook♡

I hugged Seong Ji-hyeon once more and left a light kiss. With a somewhat awkward title.

And then… … .

“Down-!!”

ㅡWhaaa!

I jumped out of the helicopter with everyone.

Damn the black maw! Towards the entrance of the widening gate.
