episode_0039

Reach out and focus your mind.

A red ray of light appeared on the ground.

It went straight to somewhere, quickly drawing a line.

I walked forward using that as a guide.

“What was that just now…?“

“It’s tracking magic. It may be a little weak, but it is a magic that will guide us to the leaders of this matter.“

Lauren looked at me with a surprised expression, but

Soon, he carefully stepped forward while holding his shield.

‘If this is the same place we came that day… probably due to the nature of these guys… they would have set up a base camp in a dark cave somewhere…’

The organization’s capabilities could not be underestimated.

The fact that they came to target me like this,

The ancient god, who had already noticed my presence, must have written down my processing orders in the script.

‘no. ‘Because I haven’t attacked directly yet…’

Maybe it was a plan to appease me.

If you really wanted to kill me, you would use terrible, murderous magic.

From the moment I set foot here, it must have rained down on me.

Now, the reason I’m trapped here is,

It was clear that there was something else going on.

‘Anyway… Lauren… how on earth did you get here…?’

The curtain of the gate was almost closed.

She rushed forward holding her shield as if breaking a glass window,

He was now walking leisurely in front of me as if nothing had happened.

‘Still level 1..? No, it’s definitely level 2… But there’s no way I’ve already unlocked that skill…’

[Leap of Salvation]

One of her unique skills.

Sometimes I go missing or get stuck inside the gate.

Lauren is not affected by the Gate’s curtain,

It had a transporter that could immediately move to my side.

However, even though it is a skill that can only be awakened after level 3.

It seemed like she had used something similar to that skill just now.

“Is this really the right path…? In front of this, there is a cave that looks like a snake is about to pop out…“

Lauren looked back at me with a horrified expression,

Just as she said, the red ray of light was pointed towards a dark cave.

I immediately touched the wall of the cave with my hands,

From memory, I memorized one of their prayers.

“We listened to his words, and he led us to refuge.“

Then, a red tentacle pattern clearly appeared.

‘Tsk…I can’t help it. ‘Is there no choice but to force a breakthrough…’

It is unclear what level of cult members the organization has brought in.

But that didn’t mean I could stay here for the rest of my life.

Maybe after they come out here and lock her up, outside,

Because the planned terrorist attack may have started ahead of time.

If they want me.

It seemed like I had no choice but to go out and meet him here in person.

“Lauren. From now on, listen carefully to what I say. Don’t touch anything on the floor. Send the Skeleton Knights first and then…“

“Be careful…be careful!!“

She pointed to the magic circle drawn above my head,

It was shining intensely with a very bright red light.

At that moment, I hugged Lauren closely and fell down.

“Get down!!!!“

“Aaagh!!!“

Shuuu…

The magic circle radiated magical power and glowed very brightly.

Then he made us levitate in the air.

‘Luckily it’s not explosion magic…but this…!’

Ominous thoughts filled my mind,

Then a disgusting fishy smell began to fill my lungs.

“Lauren…! Hold your breath…! Quick…“

“What on earth is this…“

Hwaaah not?

For a moment, my vision was filled with pure white.

I felt like I was being sucked somewhere.

I don’t know where my body is transferred to.

Only one thing was certain.

That we will be transported to a very terrible place.

——

“Ouch…“

It was an unfamiliar ceiling.

A pure white room with ordinary furniture.

It looked like a room in a business hotel.

The atmosphere was completely different from the gloomy cave I was standing in earlier.

Lauren quickly stood up and

Afterwards, he shook Han Seo-jin, who had fallen on the floor, to wake him up.

“Hey…! Wake up…where on earth am I…?“

“Ugh…“

He slowly opened his eyes and stood up,

He then turned his head and quickly began to grasp the situation.

And Han Seo-jin fixed his eyes in front of the monitor hanging above the door.

[A room you can’t leave without kissing]

“If I don’t kiss you…I can’t…go out…?!“

“Damn…“

Lauren was startled and slowly walked away.

Then, breathing heavily, he covered his bright red face with his hand.

I began to glance at Han Seo-jin through the gaps between my fingers.

‘Ah…no…what on earth is going on…a room where you can’t leave without kissing…this…this…is a situation like something out of a cartoon…!’

She could feel the tips of her ears turning red,

I quickly squatted down in the corner of the room and closed my eyes.

‘Ah…no, it’s too sudden…really…really I’m with that person…’

Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t have feelings for him at all.

I think it was around the entrance ceremony that I first started thinking about it.

Since arriving in Korea, he has gained a reputation as a genius tanker from his hometown.

It’s always been dull to her.

Boring days repeated.

Occasionally, I would take on a hunter request and clear out the gate.

The level of difficulty was too easy for her.

Moreover, as the daughter of a chaebol family, she was able to do anything with her abundant wealth.

However, I couldn’t find anything that really appealed to me.

But the first day of the entrance ceremony.

The girl’s world was completely turned upside down.

“Lauren, you are accompanying me. Since there are many attacks coming from above, it would be better to raise the shield diagonally to the right.”

“Well, the fasteners are tightened well. “Be prepared in advance.”

A beautiful appearance that can only be seen in a dream,

In addition to that, the outstanding skills and leadership he showed that day.

Unlike the braggadocious men I met in person or through family introductions,

In her eyes, Han Seo-jin was a unique being whom she would meet only once in her life.

But there is only one thing that bothers me.

That he is not weak enough to receive her help.

Even on that day when seniors taught discipline to freshmen.

She leaned against the wall and lifted her head to look.

If a situation arises where Han Seo-jin is treated harshly by them,

After she came forward and saved him.

From then on, she proved herself to be indispensable to him.

Because he was able to prove himself superior to the other women hovering around him.

‘But…I guess I’m useless to you…’

But the opportunity to become his shield never presented itself.

He always solved the case before Lauren even came forward.

The pride of being called a shield genius since I was young.

The love I had for him was being diminished in complete contrast.

As if on a precarious Jenga block called [Genius].

Every time my feelings for him build up one by one.

She was anxious.

With the anxiety of not knowing when it might collapse.

‘But…now, in this room…of course, I don’t know if kissing will really open it…’

Lauren pulled hard on the door handle,

The tightly sealed door was completely locked.

‘it’s okay…! If it continues like this…!’

“Uh…I can’t help it. I can’t be trapped here for the rest of my life…Hurry up and kiss me…”

The moment she turned around and saw his face.

Lauren couldn’t help but be quite embarrassed.

Han Seo-jin’s complexion was completely pale,

I got down on my knees and held my head.

Because he was muttering something and screaming.

“No no no no… no… never again… no… no… it can’t be like this… I can’t lose someone again… I don’t want to. ..I don’t like it…“

“Ha…ha…? What on earth are you saying…“

This is my first time seeing his vulnerable appearance.

As if I was seeing something I shouldn’t have seen,

He was in a state of complete panic.

Now he was sobbing and convulsing.

‘Do you… hate me that much…?’

Lauren looks at his pitifully ruined appearance.

For a moment, I felt my heart pounding.

Of course, I always had a crush on him.

His fragile appearance looks as if it will crumble at any moment.

And her maternal love that seemed to be leaking out towards him.

Lauren’s eyes were opened to a new way of loving.

‘Ah…no, what am I thinking right now…’

She immediately came to her senses and approached him.

Then I was trembling with extreme fear and anxiety.

He hit Han Seo-jin hard on the cheek.

match—!

“Ro…Lauren…“

“Hey, come to your senses. What on earth is going on? Do you hate kissing me that much?“

“That’s not it…“

Han Seo-jin sniffled and looked up at her.

Crying eyes full of tears.

And that fearful expression full of despair and gasping for breath.

At that moment, her face became hot and her heart began to beat faster and faster.

As a woman, I have a desire to monopolize him like this.

Han Seo-jin’s fragile appearance that no one could see,

She wanted to have his secret side that no one else knew about to herself.

But at the same time, is it because I have a strong desire to protect him?

Lauren carefully sat down next to him,

I hugged him very slowly, afraid that he might break.

“It’s okay. are you okay. I’m right next to you. I don’t know what you’re so afraid of, but…I can help. You are strong. yes? You can overcome this…“

Then he held her in his arms and said nothing.

I just sobbed, repeating words like ‘I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Forgive me… Please…’.

Lauren slowly stroked his dark hair as if she were handling a child.

Han Seo-jin gradually stopped panting,

He was holding her in his arms, swallowing the tears that were bursting out of his eyes.

About 5 minutes passed like that.

He suddenly opened his eyes again,

Han Seo-jin no longer showed the weak appearance from before.

On the contrary, I feel relieved,

I warmed up my body by doing some quick stretching.

I was staring at the door of [the room you can’t leave without kissing].

‘Still, I’m glad I recovered… Of course… It wasn’t that bad… Oh no… What on earth was I thinking…’

Lauren clenched her hands and shook her head vigorously.

Then, I came up behind him and poked his shoulder.

“Ah…Anyway, I’m glad you recovered. Okay, let’s get this over with. Even though I never thought I would experience my first kiss this way… if it were you, I guess it wouldn’t be so bad.“

“Thank you Lauren. Thanks to you…I came to my senses.“

Lauren closed her eyes like that,

The moment I put my lips out to him…

bang!!!!!!

There was a sound of something being smashed.

“What…what is it…?!“

When she opens her eyes

Han Seo-jin was vigorously knocking on the magically sealed door,

Then, he took out a huge Ohama from subspace and

He was quickly hitting the door without mercy.

Boom boom boom!!!!

“Aaaa!!!!!!!“

‘Uh…um…okay. I’ll tell you a little bit about that. Later…’

Wow!!!!!!!

Along with her expectations, the steel door that seemed solid was shattered,

Afterwards, Han Seo-jin was sweating and breathing heavily.

“Never again…you bastards…“

“Uh…is…that’s how it happens…?“

With overwhelming power that transcends humans.

The door to the room he couldn’t leave without kissing him.

It was completely shattered.

And that too with an expression full of anger whose reason I can’t even guess.

“Phew…let’s go, Lauren. We have to break down a few more doors in the future.“

“Uh…um…yes…“

Han Seo-jin with such a solemn expression.

And Lauren, who looked like she didn’t know what to say.

I walked towards the next room.

Inside, an ordinary room with a similar feel appeared,

Unlike the previous room, there was a vending machine that dispensed food.

And on top of the locked door.

[A room you can’t leave without a deep kiss]

The content was written in red letters.

‘Uh… the conditions are better than I thought…? I thought they were going to condition it on more erotic skinship… for example… something like that.’

Lauren shook off the lurid scene that passed through her mind for a moment.

Next, I looked at Han Seo-jin’s back.

“Okay…let’s see who wins…you bastards…“

He is like an animal.

He started hitting the door hard with his hammer again.

bang!!! Bang bang bang!!!!

I wonder if we even have the know-how now.

Much more concise and faster than before.

The door to the pink romance-filled room was shattered.

He walked quickly towards the next room.

“Ha…the real you…I don’t understand…“

The fact is that Lauren doesn’t want him to kiss her that much.

And the thought that only she had one-sided feelings for him.

I followed him dejectedly.

But let’s go across a few more rooms.

Her thoughts completely changed.

Of course, the appearance of the room was the same,

The first few conditions were romantic stories like [hugging] or [sleeping next to me].

Let’s go through about five or six rooms…

The contents of the sign were becoming completely bizarre.

[A room you can’t leave unless you remove one eye]

[A room you cannot leave without removing a bone]

[A room you can’t leave unless you eat the whole cake with a thousand needles in it]

[A room you can’t leave without cutting off an arm]

.

.

.

.

.

.

[A room you can’t leave unless you kill one of the two people]

Lauren’s hands were shaking and she looked at the sign in the last room.

‘What on earth is happening…’

A series of rooms increasingly filled with bizarre conditions.

It is not a place full of skinship and romance that you might see in a cartoon.

These were traps that forced the man and woman into extreme pain.

At first, there was skinship and affection for each other.

Building bonds and trust in a space where only the two of us are confined.

The moment when a certain level of attachment is formed.

Unless one of them sacrifices,

It was like a hell created from which there was absolutely no escape.

Boom boom boom!!!!

“Open your fucking feet…Open you fucking idiots!!!!!!!“

Han Seo-jin screamed and swung Ohma roughly,

With the most violent movements I have ever seen of him.

‘If Han Seo-jin didn’t have that ability… that person and I…’

Lauren’s mind flashed back to the terrible sight,

I watched as he relentlessly struck the sealed door without mercy.

bang!!!! Bang bang!!! bang!!!!

Finally, let’s swing the hammer with all our might,

Finally, the door that had been firmly closed shattered.

Han Seo-jin kicks a piece of debris from the half-shattered door.

Beyond that, I could see the other side of the cave.

He gasped and grabbed Lauren’s wrist.

As soon as I came out of the cave, I leaned on the wall.

I started vomiting like crazy.

“Woowaek…Wham…Kahah…Wuwap…Wuwaek!!!!“

“Hey…Hey…come to your senses…!“

Lauren patted his back and looked at his complexion.

The sight of him vomiting like crazy with tears in his eyes.

And he sobs and cries out the name of someone he is hearing for the first time.

Has he finally vomited up the last bit of his stomach?

I was sitting helplessly, leaning against the wall.

He smiled slightly,

I looked at Lauren.

“Lauren.“

“ㄴ…Yes.“

“I will definitely protect you… I… I will definitely…“

Because he swung Ohamma non-stop for about an hour,

With hands completely cut and bleeding.

He stroked her blonde hair carefully.

Lauren said nothing.

He just seemed stronger than anyone else.

Because I realized that he was just a weak human being.

She hugged him without saying a word,

I stroked the head of the child who was wandering through hell.

I wondered if this action had much meaning.

Nevertheless,

I just wanted to help him.
