dripping-

The drops of water from the faucet fell into the bathtub like sand in an hourglass.

As he quietly felt the passage of time in that state, Erio also calmed down and released Doyujin.

“I never thought I’d be in a situation where I couldn’t even shower comfortably… … ”

Do Yu-jin came out of the bathroom and grumbled as she dried herself.

There was another bit of conflict along the way.

“No, I won’t fall.”

“What do you mean, it won’t fall? Didn’t you hear? I’m going to change my clothes now.”

“But if I fall, I might lose it again like I did yesterday and not be able to protect Eugene.”

Erio spoke in a serious tone, as if the memories of yesterday had become a mild trauma.

The meaning contained in the words themselves was very good.

“In my opinion, you are the most dangerous person here right now.”

The problem was that he was saying that in front of someone who was about to dry off his body and change his clothes.

Do Yu-jin let out a small sigh and spoke again.

“Now get out quickly. I don’t know if it would be normal, but I have no intention of sticking around in this situation.”

“I think it’s okay to show it to Eugene.”

“I care, so get out quickly.”

Let’s fight like this for a while.

“Haa, then let’s do it like this.”

Eventually, the two compromised by holding hands and putting a door between them, and Do Yu-jin was barely able to finish her shower while putting on dry clothes.

First of all-

“What’s this time?”

“Help me wipe off the moisture.”

“… … ”

It was a bonus that he even wiped the moisture off Erio’s body.

Jeobuk-

After finishing the eventful shower, the two went out and walked down the street.

The aftereffects of yesterday still remained, with the remains of broken buildings still scattered here and there, but the circle was still running normally.

It’s a sight that seems impossible if you think about it logically.

“This time it was pretty big. Did something happen?”

“Huh? You didn’t know? I thought that wasn’t a test yesterday, it was a real situation?”

“Oh, right, that’s right, right? It happens so often that I forgot.”

“Hahaha! That’s true!”

The circle’s long-standing tradition and people who were so trained in surprise tests completely shattered such common sense.

‘The surprise test was this effective?’

Do Yu-jin was dumbfounded as she heard the conversation of people passing by.

I wondered if this made sense, but it also didn’t seem like it was completely absurd.

Actually, the situation in Korea was similar to this.

‘Even when news reports of North Korea launching missiles come out, this is a town where people just ignore it and say, ‘Those guys are going to do something again.’

In fact, many foreigners who first come to Korea are surprised and amazed by that part.

Because a provocation by a country against another country is not something that can be easily dismissed like that.

“Are humans animals of adaptation?”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Just talking to myself.”

As the two were chatting like that, two familiar silhouettes appeared walking from afar.

‘Those people… … ‘

A female student with a lively yet playful look, with short green hair tied back with a black ribbon, and a female student with a cheerful yet gentle look, with long brown hair tied back in a ponytail.

It was Tan-Tan and Memori from the cosplay club.

‘Fortunately, both of them are safe.’

Do Yu-jin let out a sigh of relief without realizing it and then chuckled.

‘Is it too hypocritical to intentionally let the situation unfold by letting Monica go?’

While Do Yu-jin was blaming herself like that, she felt something strange and turned her head.

“What, why are you suddenly like that?”

“Um, that’s… … ”

Erio, who had been hiding behind the back and hesitating for a moment, spoke cautiously.

“Actually, I broke the camera.”

“Huh? Camera?”

Do Yu-jin, who had been tilting her head for a moment, let out a small exclamation.

“Oh, right. Now that I think about it, that camera was borrowed, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Erio nodded with a sullen expression.

‘Well, I did something wrong, but I don’t think it’s something to feel sorry about to this extent.’

Do Yu-jin looked at her for a moment and then said.

“Then that’s good. Since we’ve met like this, let’s apologize together.”

“Together?”

Doyujin said lightly as she saw Erio tilt his head.

“Actually, I also messed up the clothes I borrowed yesterday.”

In fact, there was a bigger mistake than that, but Do Yu-jin had no intention of apologizing for that.

It wasn’t a small mistake that could be forgiven with an apology, and more than anything, Do Yu-jin herself had no intention of receiving an apology from them.

‘I’m only forgiving you for tearing my clothes, but I’m the one who’s at fault for the other.’

While Do Yu-jin was thinking that, the two people who had been far away had suddenly come right up to him.

“Seniors.”

“Eww! Surprise!”

[Walking through the Transparent World (5★)] Tantan shouted in surprise when he revealed his hidden presence.

“Huh? What happened all of a sudden… … Ah! You two! ”

Memori turned her head after hearing Tantan’s scream and smiled brightly when she saw Doyujin and Erio standing there.

“Both of you are safe!”

“Yes, I was lucky.”

“Phew, thank goodness. I wanted to call you, but I didn’t know your number, so I was just stamping my feet.”

Memories said, sweeping her chest.

“Thank goodness both of you are safe.”

“Haha, I haven’t been holding on in the circle for nothing.”

“Ahem! No matter how much noise the mines make!”

Tantan spoke with a smug expression, perhaps thinking that this was his chance to show the two of them his senior side.

“You are truly amazing.”

Looking at her like that, Do Yu-jin hesitated for a moment about how to react, then exclaimed in genuine admiration.

‘Was the reaction a little awkward?’

Do Yu-jin blamed herself like that.

“Hehe~ Really?”

Tantan felt nothing strange and smiled brightly and rejoiced.

After exchanging greetings like this for a moment, Do Yu-jin cautiously opened her mouth.

“Well, actually, there’s one thing I need to apologize for.”

“Yeah, an apple? What do you mean?”

“The clothes and camera you lent me yesterday were both broken in yesterday’s commotion.”

“Hey, what am I saying again.”

Memories laughed as if she was nervous for no reason.

“Don’t worry about that.”

“That’s right, yesterday was an accident.”

“No, but I will compensate you.”

“Hey, I said it’s okay!”

Tantan laughed and slapped Doyujin on the shoulder.

“Tantan is right, don’t worry, they weren’t all that expensive.”

“Well, then I’ll treat you to a meal later instead. Oh, no.”

Do Yu-jin picked up the words that came to mind and spoke.

“If you have time now, would you like to go eat with us?”

“Huh? Right now? With you guys?”

Memories looked at Doyujin and Erio alternately and said.

“Hmm, it’s a bit much to get between you two… … ”

When Memories smiles so ambiguously.

“Oh, really? Do you want to go? Do you want to go!”

Tantan said as if there was nothing to worry about.

In her eyes, the joy of being able to eat with her junior was twinkling like stars.

‘Thank goodness it worked out.’

While Do Yu-jin smiled inwardly, Erio looked at Memori and asked.

“Aren’t you coming?”

“Well, originally I was just going to leave it out… … ”

Glance-

“Looking at the situation, I think it would be good for me to join in too.”

“By the way, is there anything you’re curious about about the circle?”

While they were eating after moving to a different seat, Tantan asked, making a small noise.

“If you have any questions, feel free to talk to me! I’m your senior! If you have any questions, I’d like to help you as your senior!”

How many times does the word “senior” come up in just one conversation?

When Do Yu-jin was thinking like that and feeling dumbfounded.

Sigh-

Memories sighed lightly and raised one hand slightly.

“I know you feel good, but calm down now.”

“Hiyak!”

Tan-tan, who was hit by a surprise blow to the head, put his hand on his chest and buried his face in the table.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

Fortunately, Do Yu-jin anticipated the future and moved quickly, so the food on the table was safe.

“As Tantan said just now, if you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask. As a senior in the same circle, I will help you as much as I can.”

“Thank you.”

Although she did answer, honestly, Do Yu-jin didn’t really have any questions about the circle.

Thanks to watching countless videos, I already had a good grasp of how the circle worked a long time ago.

“But I’m still a rookie who hasn’t even taken a proper class yet, so I don’t really have anything I’m curious about… … ”

That’s why Do Yu-jin asked about what was bothering her the most right now, not the circle.

“Can you tell me something about this incident?”

“Huh? In this case… …are you talking about terrorism?”

Tantan, whose eyes had been sparkling at the thought of being able to show his senior’s dignity, tilted his head.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Now, it was time to see what kind of ripples the pebble thrown last night would create.
