    Chapter 71: You Don’t Have to Say It

    There was no way she could know.

    Semi had never sensed anything like that before.

    If she had known she was being deceived, she would have reacted somehow.

    But she had known all along and stayed still?

    Why? For what?

    No matter how much she thought, she couldn’t figure it out.

    Semi became as silent as if she had swallowed honey.

    Seeing his sister frozen stiff, Seyul slowly opened his mouth.

    “Well, I’m saying it like this, but honestly, it hasn’t been long since I found out. Just yesterday.”

    “Yesterday?”

    “To be exact, right after I got home.”

    “Oh, how come?”

    “I was just trying to check how things were going.”

    After defeating the monster yesterday, the first thing Seyul did when he got home was gather information.

    Someone might have witnessed them in the process of disposing of the monster.

    Or villains or monsters might run wild again somewhere else.

    Taking advantage of their relief, something like the Light of Qinghai might appear again.

    It would be a headache if the world was destroyed without them knowing.

    So, just in case, he was surfing the internet when he discovered something strange.

    [Seyul finished his internet broadcast early today because of the monster]

    [Seyul’s bizarre behavior today]

    [Demon King Ascends!]

    [He’s hot these days]

    [Seriously, his visuals are killer]

    He was looking for monsters, but an unexpected name came up.

    Posts on the internet mentioning his name.

    When he searched his name, there were so many that it was meaningless to count them.

    It was inevitable.

    Currently, Seyul is one of the most famous people on the internet.

    If you surf the web, you can’t help but come across his name.

    However, he just didn’t know because he hadn’t had a reason to use the internet until now.

    Semi’s expression changes as she listens to Seyul.

    If he found out through the internet, she could understand.

    Semi thought that it was a problem that could be easily found out if you just used the net.

    However, if he only found out yesterday, why didn’t he show it?

    That was the question.

    “Oppa, I’m sorry….”

    Semi was about to apologize first, but

    “Apologies are not necessary.”

    She flinched at the answer that came straight from Seyul’s small lips.

    Apologies are not necessary?

    Is he angry enough not to accept her apology?

    It’s natural.

    After all, she had completely deceived him until now.

    Besides, Seyul had been reluctant to show himself to others before he started doing Mugeuk.

    It wouldn’t be strange if he was angry.

    ‘He doesn’t seem like he’s angry….’

    From Semi’s point of view, Seyul didn’t seem angry.

    He was just calm.

    As quiet as if he didn’t feel any emotion.

    “Oppa, listen to me!”

    It was as if an alarm was ringing in her head.

    Semi intuitively understood.

    That this was a more dangerous reaction than getting angry.

    Semi tried to explain to her brother.

    That she didn’t do this because she hated him.

    It started as a joke, but later she thought about it.

    She thought it would be helpful to her brother in its own way.

    She was going to reveal it later even if she hid it.

    She was about to say everything, but

    “There’s no need to explain the reason either.”

    A heartless rejection stopped her words.

    “Semi.”

    Seyul continued in a low voice.

    “You’re misunderstanding something. I’m not trying to interrogate you or get angry. I’m just trying to accept it sweetly.”

    “Accept what?”

    “My sin. Because I committed an act that deserves whatever you do.”

    Seyul was gone for 5 years.

    He had been away from his family for a whopping 5 years.

    He could have rationalized it by saying that he was forced to go, so he couldn’t help it.

    But when he came back and saw his family’s faces, he couldn’t bring himself to do that.

    If it was in the early days when he was weak, it would be different.

    After he became strong to some extent, he could have returned by using his own abilities.

    Or his connections.

    ‘I still can’t forget it. The reaction that Semi and my sister showed when I came back.’

    Seyul’s siblings have no parents.

    From a long time ago, it was just Seyul, Semi, and their sister.

    A family of only three people.

    But one of them, Seyul, disappeared.

    Of course, the remaining two desperately searched for Seyul.

    His sister even took time off from work to look for him.

    Semi as well.

    She was a student at the time of his disappearance, so she didn’t have much power.

    But after becoming a hunter, she mobilized all her capabilities to find him.

    But what was he doing while his family was looking for him like this?

    He was freely wielding his newly acquired beautiful appearance.

    He was enjoying pleasant adventures by breaking away from wealth and frustrating reality with his strong power.

    Until regrets piled up in various ways, such as his discord with her.

    After enjoying everything he wanted, all he could see when he returned was his family.

    Those who had been waiting and looking for him eagerly for 5 years.

    He suddenly realized what he had done.

    His family welcomed him back without blaming him.

    But this incident remained as a regret, just like the things he had done in the other world.

    “I’ve decided to accept whatever you do as a fair price.”

    Seyul thought that the reason Semi did this was revenge for being away for 5 years.

    So he wasn’t getting angry or forgiving.

    He had just decided to accept it silently.

    That was why he left the broadcast as it was yesterday without saying a word even though he knew.

    “Oh, no, it’s not like that….”

    Semi was speechless and couldn’t even forget what to say.

    Semi wanted to correct it immediately because it was a ridiculous misunderstanding.

    That it wasn’t like that.

    That she didn’t do it with that intention and that her brother was not at fault.

    That she was the one who was wrong.

    However

    Ding-dong!

    Even the last chance to explain was blocked by a third party.

    “Who is it?”

    “They’ve come.”

    The two siblings’ reactions to the sudden visitor were contrasting.

    Seyul was calm, while Semi was noticeably flustered.

    It’s just that Seyul and others are too strong.

    Semi is also one of the top five strongest in this world.

    Who is standing at the door.

    She can roughly grasp how strong they are just by their presence.

    But this time, she didn’t even know who was approaching, let alone their presence.

    Even if villains or the Light of Qinghai were much stronger than Semi, she could still read their presence.

    There were only two times this had happened.

    When she saw her brother, Seyul, and Vanessa.

    When she saw the two strongest.

    “W-Who are you!”

    Could it be that the person who rang the doorbell is as strong as her brother or Vanessa?

    Semi quickly opened the door, thinking it was impossible.

    Then, a very beautiful girl appeared.

    Taller than Seyul, but smaller than Semi.

    A cute style with red hair braided like Vanessa.

    Overall, she was a slender yet glamorous girl.

    “Um. So, I’m?”

    The red-haired girl couldn’t answer the question of who she was.

    She mumbled with a cute voice.

    “Come in.”

    Seyul gave permission to the girl.

    “Then I’ll be rude!”

    The red-haired girl came in as soon as she was given permission.

    She approached Seyul with quick steps.

    “No, I mean, who are you?”

    Semi was dumbfounded by the girl who came in without revealing her identity.

    But she couldn’t do anything because her brother, Seyul, had given permission.

    She followed her sullenly and approached Seyul.

    “Who is this person?”

    “She’s not a person.”

    Seyul said indifferently to Semi, who was asking about her identity.

    “She’s a Celestial.”

    He said.

    Then, as if she had been waiting for it, the red-haired girl spread her wings.

    White wings spread behind the girl’s back.

    “Celestial?”

    Semi was surprised by the wings, but continued to ask questions.

    “What is that?”

    “Don’t you read fantasy novels? There were demons and celestials in the beginning. You know, the celestials that come out when you say that.”

    A race belonging to divinity along with the gods, and their power is as strong as the gods.

    It was also a rare race even in the fantasy world, the other world.

    The girl in front of her was a member of that race.

    And

    “She’s the one Vanessa was talking about.”

    She was also Seyul’s ex-girlfriend.

    “Her name is Kamael. Say hello.”

    Seyul introducing his ex-girlfriend to his sister.

    It was a normal action, but because Seyul himself was a woman.

    And they were having a serious conversation until just now.

    Etc.

    It didn’t seem normal at all because of other things.

    “Hello.”

    Kamael spoke first while Semi was speechless.

    “It’s the first time we’ve met like this, right? I’ve heard a lot about you from Seyul.”

    “Ah, yes….”

    Semi barely managed to reply.

    Then, with heavy movements, she turned her gaze to her brother.

    “Then, did Vanessa go to call this person just now?”

    “That’s right. From now on, she’s going to teach you what you’ve been curious about in ‘various’ ways.”

    “Then, what about what happened just now?”

    His ex-girlfriend suddenly came.

    And the various secrets she will tell.

    Of course, this is also important, but what happened just now was not something to just let go.

    Semi was racking her brains on what to do because she had to explain and apologize quickly.

    “You go out for a while.”

    Seyul was trying to kick Semi out altogether.

    “We have something to talk about from now on. It would be honestly a hindrance if you were here, so I wish you would go out.”

    “Wait. Before that….”

    “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to hear anything right now. I don’t have the time.”

    Seyul spoke to Semi, but all his nerves, including his eyes, were focused on Kamael.

    “Get out. Or should we go out? We just want to talk alone, so I’ll go out if you want.”

    Seyul spoke without giving Semi a single glance.

    Seeing that, Semi realized that no words would work.

    “…I’ll go out.”

    Semi moves her heavy steps out of the door.

    Only Seyul and Kamael, former lovers who broke up due to discord, were left in the house.
