How did it come to this?

I swallowed a growing sigh and raised my head.

When I raised my head, what I saw was the ceiling.

The ceiling was so tightly blocked that no sunlight came in.

It was as if he could see how I was feeling at the moment.

Just like the ceiling I am looking at right now, my feelings are on the verge of becoming completely blocked.

‘Really, why did this happen?’

It was definitely good.

Received a thank you note.

After the story was over, I left.

Now all I have to do is set out on a journey to restore the disrupted causality.

Before we knew it, Hiria and I had become famous people around here.

At first, I thought it was because of Hiria’s appearance as more and more attention was being paid to it.

Before, my attention was often focused on Hiria.

But this time, it went far beyond that level.

I feel like Hiria is even more interested in me, of course.

I felt something strange and found out that the rumor about us had spread.

This was quite a headache for us, who originally had no intention of revealing our true identity or even appearance.

‘under… ‘What should I do?’

Most of the news about us had already spread throughout this area.

The good news is that only those related to this city and the mercenaries know about it.

‘It’s not at all fortunate.’

In today’s world, mercenaries are quite active and heavily involved.

Even if it hasn’t spread widely yet, I don’t think it will take long for it to spread widely.

I just hope that interest dies down quickly.

If you listen to various stories while hiding your identity, there is no sign of that happening at all.

‘A fog from which unidentified people and even A-class mercenaries escaped.’

I finished it in less than an hour after receiving the request.

Even I thought it was a topic of gossip that I would chew on for a very long time.

We’re probably going to have to cover up our faces for the time being.

It’s a situation where you can’t help but sigh.

“You can’t erase memories.”

It would be great if I could just erase the memories.

The problem is that there are more than one person who knows about this, so it takes a lot of effort to erase everything.

As a result, the causality will be further distorted.

In fact, it was self-defeating.

One way or another, it’s going in a bad direction.

A situation that has no choice but to endure.

“I should have just jumped faster.”

I feel so much regret, but what can I do?

It had already happened and it couldn’t be changed.

“Let’s go first. Whether the face is known or not, what we have to do remains the same.”

“Yes.”

If your face is known, you are known.

In the end, the goal remained the same.

Restoring the disrupted causality.

I had to focus only on that.

So, unlike before, we had a little more anxiety.

I took a step.

***

There has been a rumor heating up the mercenary industry recently.

A mysterious man and woman who solved an unknown fog.

The request that even A-class mercenaries had given up on was solved in an instant.

At first, many people did not believe the story, but there were so many who saw it in person. The rumor was actually treated as truth.

And in Akti, the city where mercenaries are most concentrated. Their story never ended.

Wherever I went, I heard their stories.

Whether they were going to a bar, a bar, or walking around on the streets, the topic was constantly rising and falling on people’s lips.

A man and a woman pass by among the noisy city people.

As they passed by the noisy crowd wearing robes, they occasionally flinched and suddenly stopped.

However, no one looked at him strangely.

It’s just that there are so many people in this world who engage in eccentric acts that it’s hard to count how strange they are.

Doing strange things while barely wearing a robe?

On the contrary, it was almost cute.

Moreover, right now, there are many people on the street I am walking on that are even stranger than the two wearing robes. The two men and women wearing robes entered the inn without any suspicion.

The inn owner greeted them warmly as soon as he saw them.

“What brought you here?”

“I would like to stay here.”

“You can go up the stairs and use the place where the number 203 is written. Originally it was 20 donghua, but I’ll give it 10 dongwa~”

The innkeeper said that with a subtle look in his eyes and a sinister expression on the corner of his mouth.

He quickly handed me the keys.

The man who awkwardly took the key handed me 10 dong coins.

The innkeeper accepted the 10 dong and left the place with a big smile.

The two looked at each other and headed toward their room.

“… ”

“… ”

There was no conversation.

Remaining silent, the two arrived in front of the room they had been guided to.

The man opened the door using the key he received from the innkeeper.

When I opened the door, what was revealed was an ordinary inn room.

As they entered there, they carefully closed the door, and only after casting a spell on the surroundings did they take off the robes they were wearing.

“Phew… ”

“We are finally liberated… .”

When the robe was taken off, what was revealed were Yucheon and Hiria, the protagonists of the currently hot rumor.

Yucheon collapsed on the bed, and Hiria dried his sweaty hair with magic.

Hiria asked Yucheon, who immediately fell down as if he was about to faint.

“Not washed?”

“Why are you washing it? You don’t have to wash it.”

These two are definitely transcendents.

They don’t do any of the physiological activities or things like that that humans do.

You can live without air, and you don’t have to sleep.

As a result, unless you roll on the ground yourself, it always stays clean on its own.

No, it stays clean even if you roll on the ground.

It just takes time to return to its original state.

There was no need to shower.

Without even sweating.

“But why do you sweat?”

Yucheon felt strange looking at Hiria.

This is because she is sweating, even though she obviously shouldn’t.

Hiria shrugged his shoulders in response to Yucheon’s question.

“Have you forgotten how I am right now? Even if he is a transcendental person, most of his power is suppressed. The body also naturally became a human body. Although it may not be a complete human body.”

“Really?”

Yucheon, who never thought that his body would even become closer to that of a human, opened his eyes round.

‘No, maybe it’s natural.’

The power is sealed, but the body remains the same as that of the transcendental?

No matter how you look at it, sealing the power was meaningless.

Thinking like that, Yucheon understood Hiria’s situation.

“Still, there’s no need to wash it, right?”

Yucheon’s current body is not as close to human as hers.

On the other hand, although Hyria’s body has changed to a state closer to human, she is still someone.

A wizard from a warrior party 500 years ago.

He is now an archmage who has risen to the level of transcendence.

Even if you don’t have to wash it, you can make it look like it was washed with just a snap of your finger.

I’m sure that’s the case…

“I want to take a shower.”

Hiria went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Yucheon wondered why he would act so inefficiently, but he yawned and waited, thinking that it was because of his memories from when he was human.

Chi-ik!

A song can be heard along with the sound of the shower water turning on.

Perhaps out of habit, Hiria started taking a shower while singing or humming.

Usually, songs sung in the shower are purely for enjoyment.

Her singing voice contained such deep emotions that it was so sweet that the listener fell in love with it.

“It’s a lullaby.”

Yucheon couldn’t help but laugh at her song.

Sometimes sad, sometimes happy, and sometimes powerful.

I could say that her songs are full of life, to the point where I was reminded of my travels.

‘The deepest thing among them is the longing.’

It must be a longing for past colleagues.

Yucheon somehow felt as if he was missing one person in particular.

It’s like a feeling of desperately wanting to meet someone.

‘It could be my imagination, though.’

Yucheon thought that it might not be an illusion.

As much as what she went through and the emotions she went through were also what he went through.

I sympathized with and felt the song that contained those emotions more deeply than anyone else.

‘If it’s less likely to be an illusion, who would it be?’

A person she would miss so much.

Actually, it wasn’t that difficult to guess.

‘He must be a hero.’

Usually, you rely a lot on the party leader.

The person she especially missed was most likely a warrior.

Of course, the emotions she showed were deeper than imagined to say she simply missed her.

Since I didn’t know much, it was difficult to say what was happening.

I just followed and relied on the hero a lot, other than thinking about it.

‘My party members were like that too, so it’s probably not particularly strange.’

Even though we would sometimes argue and argue about various things, in the end, I was the one they depended on.

What if the intensity is high?

That’s how much I relied on it.

‘I hope it goes well.’

As the leader of the party.

I hoped that she would meet the warriors and other party members she missed so much on this journey.
