Chapter 61 Sisters’ Fight

Lee Na-ri.

Na-ri met her childhood friend Si-woo when she was young.
When everyone couldn’t approach her because of her blonde hair and unusual appearance, and she was alone.

Only Si-woo approached her.

And he told her she was pretty and played with her.

That day was an unforgettable day for Na-ri.

She was so grateful to Si-woo for approaching her.

And as time passed, that feeling naturally changed into love.

Well, he was always there for her.

It wasn’t simply because he looked handsome or had good grades.

Na-ri secretly had a crush on Si-woo who was always there for her.

And it was the same for Si-woo.

‘I love you… please go out with me.’

17-year-old Na-ri received a confession from her childhood friend Si-woo.

And hearing that confession, Na-ri was actually so happy.

That he liked her so much, it felt like she had the whole world.

She wanted to date her childhood friend Si-woo and be happy with him.

But… she had no choice but to reject him.

Because her sister had threatened her.

“What on earth… is this?”

A woman glaring silently at the Guild Master.

A blonde beauty with a different style from Narin, with a very different appearance and style, but a similar face—Narin’s younger sister, Lee Na-ri.

They might not look alike when separated, but when put together, these two could definitely be called sisters.

Na-ri discovered Si-eun in the Guild Master’s office.

As expected, her sister had kidnapped Si-woo’s younger sister, Si-eun.

The fact she had been hoping wasn’t true, saying “surely not,” had turned out to be true.

At this moment, Na-ri couldn’t help but be angry.

“You promised… Sister…! If I obeyed you, you wouldn’t touch Si-woo…!”

In fact, Narin doesn’t view Na-ri as just a younger sister.

She only sees her as a good S-class card to increase her power, just that much.

Therefore, it wasn’t particularly her concern if she did something bad to her younger sister.

Narin absolutely didn’t care even if she played with the life of the man her younger sister loved.

And against such a Narin, Na-ri could only do one thing to protect her childhood friend.

Just obeying her sister, because that way she could protect Si-woo’s life.

She had only made a contract with Narin for his sake.

“But what is this? What is this, I ask…!”

For his sake, when she received a confession from Si-woo whom she loved, she had no choice but to reject it.

Because her sister told her not to accept the confession.

Because of her sister who said that if she accepted the confession, she would not only reveal the secret but also kill Si-woo…

In the end, she couldn’t accept it.

“Na-ri? Why have you come to your sister’s office?”

Narin smiled kindly as usual at her younger sister who had entered without knocking.

Narin’s expression was gentle, as if she didn’t care at all no matter how much her younger sister glared at her.

“This… this wasn’t part of the deal. Why did you bring Si-eun…?”

But unlike such a Narin, Na-ri couldn’t help but be angry.

She expressed her anger while her body trembled.

Because what was happening now was nonsensical.

Clearly, her sister had only said she would scout an S-class, and because of that, Na-ri had been in charge of security just in case.

But, after doing that, the person she brought was her childhood friend Si-woo’s younger sister, Si-eun, and moreover, she had brought her through the coercive method of kidnapping.

So from Na-ri’s perspective, this situation couldn’t help but be absurd.

Si-eun, if no one else, absolutely should not be made a hunter.

As a childhood friend who had been with Si-woo for a long time, Na-ri naturally knew how precious Si-eun was to Si-woo.

If such a Si-woo heard the news that Si-eun had been kidnapped and was becoming a hunter, he would surely be sad.

As a childhood friend, for Si-woo’s sake, such a thing should not happen.

“Sister, you promised you wouldn’t touch Si-woo…!”

And her sister Narin knows this fact as well.

Narin also knows that Si-eun is Si-woo’s younger sister.

Yet, despite knowing this, bringing Si-eun in this way was intolerable from Na-ri’s perspective.

So she continued to be angry, but.

“Na-ri. I told you. That I would bring an S-class.”

“No… why didn’t you tell me Si-eun was the S-class!!!”

To such a Na-ri, Narin only tilted her head as if wondering what the problem was.

In the end, Na-ri could only shout at Narin.

Shouting at her sister as if possessed by evil.

“Hmm…”

Narin smiled at her younger sister Na-ri, who was filled with anger.

And after thinking for a moment.

“Ugh…”

“Na-ri. Would anything change if I told you?”

And she used her power.

When she used her power, Na-ri instantly collapsed on the spot, and Narin smiled while pressing down on Na-ri’s waist with her foot and looked down.

“You promised to protect him…”

In a state of being subdued in an instant, Na-ri did not withdraw her gaze from her sister and had to question her.

The promise that Narin and Na-ri had made in the past.

It was a promise that on the condition that Na-ri would not disobey Narin’s words, she would not cause any harm to Si-woo.

And in the current situation, under that promise, Na-ri was arguing that bringing Si-eun was a breach of contract, and Narin was arguing that it didn’t matter.

“It’s the same anyway. Without Si-eun, Si-woo will be broken… so keep your promise…”

But, whatever happened, it was all the same.

Na-ri knows Si-woo too well. She knows too well how he would react if Si-eun disappeared.

In such a situation, this current behavior was like an issue directly connected to Si-woo.

Her sister Narin knows that too. So in the end, her sister had broken the contract.

“I did everything you said, Sister.”

Na-ri looked up at her sister as if aggrieved and spoke.

“Whether it was getting engaged to someone I don’t know at all, or being a hunter which I didn’t want to be, I did everything you said… I did everything I could. So keep it…! Keep your promise…!”

Na-ri had endured a lot all this time.

For the safety of Si-woo, against her sister who threatened with the life of her childhood friend Si-woo, she had sacrificed everything of hers.

She had arranged a strategic engagement for the position of the Sword Saint Society, and even though she had no intention of becoming a hunter, she was forced to take on the profession of a hunter.

But…

But the end of it was eventually bringing his younger sister like this.

This was clearly a breach of contract.

Na-ri felt so wronged.

She had been betrayed.

So she could only question with eyes full of anger.

Asking why the promise wasn’t being kept.

“Hmm…”

And looking at the expression her younger sister was making, Narin thought for a moment.

Squish.

She stepped on Na-ri’s waist again to cause pain.

“Has our little sister become quite impudent lately?”

“Ugh…”

“Na-ri. If you’re upset, why don’t you defeat me and become the Guild Master?”

Narin spat out words mockingly while continuing to step on her waist.

“I’ve always told you. That you need to become strong. Don’t you know the guild’s rule? The one with power takes everything. Power, honor, money, everything.”

The words she always said to her younger sister.

Words that were most directly connected to her values.

“Ugh…”

Words she always heard, as always.

Words she had always agreed with.

Na-ri couldn’t refute.

Instead, she only sent a fierce gaze.

“Oh… Our little sister still lacks respect for her sister.”

And from that rebellious spirit, Narin was about to feel slightly bad.

Her younger sister Na-ri, who would have succumbed as usual.

But today, she was too fierce.

“This won’t do… Shall we have a talk with Na-ri after a long time? Si-woo, was it? That guy you like. Na-ri, do you still like that man?”

“…”

“Hehe. Little sisters are really easy to understand, I can see right away that you still like him.”

But to Narin, Na-ri was nothing more than a dog too easy to tame.

As expected, at the word Si-woo that Narin brought up, Na-ri’s expression became distorted.

And seeing that expression she had always seen, Narin couldn’t help but raise the corner of her mouth.

“To still like him, isn’t our little sister too shameless? Si-woo probably still doesn’t know the truth of that day. That’s really pitiful…”

No matter what, her younger sister can’t stand up to her.

Since she had reconfirmed that,

Taming a beast that has bared its teeth in rebellion to her. This couldn’t help but be enjoyable.

“But… what if? If I tell the truth, that man will hate you. Should I tell him for the sake of my cowardly little sister?”

“No…”

Along with protecting Si-woo’s safety.

Hiding the truth of that day.

That was the condition of the contract.

“As expected, you wish for me not to say it… In exchange for not telling, you need to listen well to your sister, right?”

“…”

Therefore, Na-ri could only remain silent after hearing those words.

Because the reason she had succumbed to her sister in the past was precisely because of that threat.

The truth of that day when Si-woo’s parents died.

For her, that was a threat she couldn’t go against.

But.

Shing!

There’s a limit to endurance.

The sword at Na-ri’s waist drew an arc as it slashed toward Narin.

Narin avoided it, and in that gap, Na-ri stood up and composed herself.

“Oh… It seems you’re trying to properly rebel this time…?”

“… I will no longer do as you say, Sister. I will defeat you…”

And accordingly, Narin also drew the sword at her waist.

The fight for the position of Guild Master of the Sword Saint Society between Narin and Na-ri had begun.
