episode_0039

“Gasp, gasp…!”

Around the time I was quietly observing Haneul’s sleeping form.

A rushing sound was heard beyond the hospital room, and a familiar rose gold-colored head was seen.

“Yerin! It’s been a while.”

“Sounds like that because the current situation is good…! What, why is Skye lying down? Wasn’t your brother hurt?”

So Ye-rin, seeing our changed composition, suddenly stiffened.

It was truly a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.

She still looks pretty.

I’ve been so busy lately with household chores that I’ve even taken time off, but perhaps because the scale of the incident was so large, it seemed like I rushed to it all at once.

“Haneul was exhausted, so I laid him down on my bed. No, by the way, you said you were going down to your parents’ house, but have you already come here?”

“Mr. Ai…! Does that matter now?! I heard you almost died, how could you not come see me!”

“Oh, I’m touched.”

“Impressed? Gamdoong?!”

I pointed at Yerin, who was about to explode, at the sleeping saint, and covered her mouth.

“Still, how was it resolved? You know the sky is bright.”

“Still…”

“I also got a little hurt, but it was manageable. Rather, Haneul was more dangerous.”

“Is it true…?”

Sorry no.

I had a seizure while meeting the Constellation.

But I couldn’t bring myself to tell the truth.

How could I say that I was in such pain that I was dying to face the worries in the world?

To be exact, it was my subconscious doing.

Still, I have to be careful because people around me have seen and heard things.

“Uh, it’s true. What power do I have to stand out in front?”

I’m sorry for telling you that.

Yerin was relieved and believed what I said.

Since the person concerned is in good condition right now, I feel like it saves me some time.

-huh? Yes?

Although Sharon gave a meaningful response in my head, I focused on Soyerin in front of me.

“I just got hurt while working as usual.”

This is the daily life of a hero.

I continued talking in a nonchalant tone.

“You know Yerin. They say it’s strange that you don’t get hurt.”

“I know. I know, but don’t get hurt…”

So Yerin said with a gloomy expression.

“I’m sorry for making you worry. I will work hard and take care.”

After saying that, Yerin sighed and sat down on the chair in the hospital room.

I was glad I was able to somehow understand it well.

Anyway, since it’s been a long time since I last saw you, I’m curious about your current situation.

“So, how is the housework going?”

“It wasn’t a big deal. It just took up some time. I will go to work at the association again within this week.”

“Oh, really? I’m glad. I’ve been feeling lonely lately because I go to work alone.”

“Sky has a sister.”

“Haneul is a total celebrity these days. I’m busy.”

Since the incident that occurred this time was so big, it was natural that we met.

When I go to work at the association on a regular basis, it is harder to see people’s faces.

For me, it was a more positive situation.

Because it meant that the association was trying to somehow elevate Lee Ha-neul to the top.

However, this does not mean that So Ye-rin’s level is lower.

Because she was fundamentally the daughter of a chaebol family.

If the majesty shown in the original work can be reduced in a positive way, Yerin will be able to become a good hero.

And for that, networking is an essential element.

That’s also the main character’s network.

This made me want to introduce our main character to Yerin.

If you are connected even once, wouldn’t it affect you in some way?

My eyes naturally turned to Soyerin.

Even though he’s sitting on an ordinary chair, his natural cuteness is showing off, perhaps because it’s from an aristocratic home.

So, even looking at your phone like that looks like a pictorial.

“Ah, Yerin.”

“Huh?”

At my sudden call, So Ye-rin raised her head and looked at me.

“The sky is also the sky. Who helped us earlier? But he was really strong.”

“Really? who? Is it S class?”

“No. I don’t know the grade. But even just by looking at you, you looked like you were level A. He’s really strong. Did you say your name is…Jin Seo-yoon?”

“…huh?”

For a moment, Yerin, who was listening to me, suddenly stiffened.

It was as if he had heard a name he couldn’t hear.

Even though I was pretending, I could clearly see that I was nervous for a moment, so I became cautious and thought it might be a mistake to say something.

“Uh…did you know?”

“The name is, no, uh, yes…”

Why is he like this all of a sudden?

“But why the reaction.”

“No, it’s nothing. It’s just a familiar name, huh.”

I try my best to pretend that I’m okay, but even if I pretend to, I can see a lot of restlessness.

While I was thinking hard about why, a thought struck me like a thunderbolt.

“Wait a minute, Yerin, you are from the academy.”

“Huh?”

He was startled, but then nodded his head once.

I gained strange confidence from him.

Jin Seo-yoon in the original work also graduated from the Academy.

Since he was the main character, he had to have a lot of talent, so it was a naturally designed background.

So Yerin is also an academy student.

Jin Seo-yoon is also an academy student.

Among them, So Ye-rin knows Jin Seo-yoon, but the reason is that she shows signs of being so reluctant.

‘Did Jin Seo-yoon go around harassing kids?’

For a moment, a feeling of shame comes over me.

I must have regressed, and the classmates around me probably treated me like an extra.

‘I cannot forgive in the name of justice.’

Jin Seo-yoon.

How dare you commit such evil atrocities while pretending to be a good person?

When I reached one realization, Yerin urgently asked.

“Wait a minute, why are you looking like that?”

“Why is my expression.”

“What a solemn face you are making…! I’m just saying this just in case, but we really have no relationship.”

There is no relationship whatsoever.

We definitely know each other. And that too in a bad way.

I need to hear the exact story from the person concerned about this.

How dare you harass our Yerin, I can’t stand it.

“Ah, anyway! Why that person?”

“Ah, that’s right. So I wanted to learn various things from that person. How did I come across a kite?”

“Uh….?”

And then a second identical reaction.

Why are you doing that? Have you been bullied that badly…?

What on earth was the main character of episode 2 doing?

A feeling of shame rushes into my stomach.

“Yerin. What happened to you?”

So, without holding back, I asked firmly.

“…”

Yerin, who had come this far and could no longer act out her actions, exercised her right to remain silent.

It is very sad to see him sitting gloomily with a dark expression.

I calmly waited for her answer, just as So Ye-rin came to my house that day and resolved her worries.

“…Yes.”

A small voice returns.

Yerin finally gained courage and began to open her mouth.

“But really, our relationship isn’t as strange as you think. It’s just that I thought that way…”

“What were you thinking?”

“At the academy, grades are considered grades, but practical evaluations are considered really important.”

Cadets who have completed all completion courses prepared by the academy will participate in the final flower of the semester, a sparring match.

Jin Seo-yoon in the original also sparred.

There, there was a story about him confronting an extra who had been harassing him and barely winning.

If Yerin had been an academy student, she would have taken the test.

“There was an important sparring match at the end, and I limped a lot during that time. To that person named Jin Seo-yoon.”

“…”

“After that, I didn’t see him for a while so I wondered where he had gone, but he was still active as a hero. Of course. If it’s that strong…”

Still.

How was the test conducted that caused the child’s self-esteem to drop so much?

There is definitely something there.

There is some truth that didn’t come out here.

And I felt so sorry for our Yerin.

I remember how desperate it was when we first met, and I feel more at ease.

You must take responsibility for this.

I already had a proper plan in my head.

“Ugh…”

I wanted to comfort Yerin a little more, but just as I was about to open my mouth, Haneul made a sign.

“This is…?”

“Sky, are you coming to your senses?”

“Ah, Seongjin oppa…and Yerin?”

“…Are you okay?”

Sigh…

The saintess slowly wakes up with an expression that makes it seem like she can’t tell whether it’s a dream or reality.

“How are you here…?”

After that, we unintentionally ended up unraveling the past.

#

Although it was a fairly large-scale incident, it was quickly buried and the world quickly regained peace.

Don’t people here in the world feel a sense of crisis?

Or is it because incidents happen so regularly that we just got used to it?

Everything is the same.

A villain or a monster appears, and people run away screaming in surprise.

And in the meantime, someone dies or gets injured.

A hero appears and saves them, but even though what has already been lost does not return, the people quickly return to their normal daily lives.

“It’s a truly amazing place.”

It’s not that people’s expressions are generally dark or anything like that.

It was just ordinary. And they each live their own lives.

Maybe it’s because I know that this world is actually an artificial world that originated from the original work.

This phenomenon, which flows naturally like water, felt quite meaningful.

Sometimes it feels like looking at the background of a game.

Even if a building is destroyed or the ground is turned upside down, it can be restored in an instant thanks to the heroes’ abilities.

Does it feel like watching a map that is constantly regenerating?

That’s how I met Jin Seo-yoon.

I feel like I called it out unilaterally.

“Why, I called you…”

And our protagonist is still restless.

“Mr. Seo-yoon. Don’t you have something to tell me?”

“Uh…? What to say.”

“Why did you bother my child? Yerin.”

I made sure to have time for true education.

“Well, who is it…?”

And I was at a loss for words when Jin Seo-yoon asked me as if it was truly unfair.
