I was confused when I couldn’t find Yusera at first.

So I kept running, but strangely, nothing changed. Rather, I felt like I was just running in the same place, and I felt like I was going crazy if I ran any further.

But it was clear that he was moving somewhere else, and that made me suspicious.

A natural question is why Yusera keeps disappearing.

This made me think more, and then I started to wonder if there was another place near this space.

That would be because he must have used the mana called the invisible will to see ahead, and if so, there must have been a path that was invisible to the eyes but visible to the mana, so he might have gone there.

So I sprayed my mana more widely and looked around.

I kept looking around with a sense of anxiety that I might have made a mistake, and luckily I was able to find it.

A road that looks like a wall to anyone who sees it.

Especially since it didn’t make much of a difference even when I touched it, it was even harder to find. But thanks to looking around everywhere, I was able to find it, and thanks to that, I felt like I had solved something.

Of course, there was no way to get inside.

It seemed that the device was set up so that only the Yusera could enter. Because of that, I was worried that I might not be able to enter.

But this problem can be solved easily.

Since it was probably a foreign substance anyway, I was able to get in quickly by removing the wall like I did before. I kept running like that until I found Yusera fighting with someone.

‘What are you doing, guy?’

And who is that woman?

A blonde girl younger than me was smiling as if she was alluring. Thanks to that, I approached her slowly, very warily.

Then I slowly listened to their conversation.

The conversation was truly absurd.

Since I am the person involved, I can’t help but feel even more annoyed.

‘What? Kill me?’

Who the hell is that kid to dare kill me?

A deep sense of frustration came over me, and I had no choice but to grit my teeth.

‘Did you think I could be so easygoing?’

Even though I am not very capable and not very smart, I am not at a level where I deserve to be ignored like that.

I continued listening to the conversation with that thought in mind.

‘Fuck, but this might be a bit disadvantageous for me.’

After all, the most important thing to Yoo Seo-ra is her own life. If I were Seo Jae-hyeok, I don’t think she would care about me that much.

Even though you’ve been by my side all this time.

Actually, if I think about it, I could say that I’m really lucky to be alive.

That’s right, even though I have secrets.

Even though we were close friends.

Because to her, I’m just a nuisance.

So it was natural to abandon it.

‘You b*tch.’

If I somehow manage to get out, I’ll hit you hard on the back of the head.

It was while I was holding the gun that I thought like that.

An unbelievable situation came into view.

“No.”

“I can’t let Kim Seo-jin die.”

“Because we’re friends.”

“I will take Kim Seo-jin with me and escape outside.”

what?

Something unexpected happened.

That’s exactly what she said to me that she just couldn’t go for me.

A situation where one cannot grasp the situation for a moment.

I couldn’t believe it, and I couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

‘My efforts so far have not been in vain.’

Becoming friends with her was, as I thought, the right thing to do.

Of course, there was still a part of me that was uncomfortable with believing in Yoo Seo-ra. I really don’t know why she made that choice.

Still, I was grateful to Yoo Seol-ra.

‘Let’s wait a moment.’

There’s no point in rushing out to where Yusera is, given this excited emotion. It’s best to attack them as safely as possible, when they’re off guard.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I can beat that girl. I’m more likely to get beat, but honestly, I think it’s better than doing nothing.

At that moment, Yoo Seo-ra suddenly grabbed her head and let out a sigh. She then made a pained expression on her face.

But still, she opened her mouth loudly.

“Escape with Kim Seo-jin!”

Who would do such a thing for good?

I think back again to why I came to this place.

Is there some ‘hidden piece’ here that I don’t know about?

First of all, I have a quest.

It was all too good to give up.

That’s why I shot a bullet filled with mana, as if denying her declaration.

bang!

“As anyone pleases.”

As soon as I said that, I ran towards Yusera in case she was in danger.

And then he continued.

“No escape or anything like that.”

What would I gain if I ran away from here?

Instead of gaining, you could incur losses.

Following that realization, I continued to move and slowly glared at the girl. Her pupils were wide open, and she seemed to have not yet been able to assess the situation.

Seeing that sight made my resolve stronger.

I have never run away, not even once.

If you think about it, that’s what it was.

So it won’t be the same this time either.

Let me declare it here.

“I will not back down.”

If you’re going to back off, then back off.

I won’t run away until I eat the hidden piece.

I smiled as if I was at ease.

“Your opponent is me.”

Only then did the girl frown deeply, as if she was about to explode with anger.

“Why? Are you scared?”

Well, I think I would feel the same way too.

I slowly looked around with such a ridiculous thought. The most I could do was to attack using that environment.

“Why are you here?”

At that time, Yu Seo-ra, who was behind me, spoke stammeringly.

I spoke in a slightly relaxed tone, as if I was going to answer that question.

“I wanted to help you because you were in danger.”

“Huh? What is that? No, that’s fine. Hurry up and grab my hand. I’ll get you out of here.”

“Didn’t you hear me? I told you not to go out?”

I pulled the trigger slowly and said.

bang!

“I won’t back down. At least not until I eat the hidden piece.”

Then, Yoo Seora let out a hollow laugh as if it was absurd. I could feel that the atmosphere had become somewhat more tolerant, and thanks to that, I was able to relax a little.

But it seems that wasn’t the case for Yusera.

“Don’t you know it’s dangerous right now? You should run away right now. Stop talking nonsense and grab my hand right now.”

Well, it was true that it was a dangerous situation.

The fact that they had already figured out that Yusera was a regressor meant that they were already superior, and on top of that, they had already done something to hurt her right away.

“What do you like about me? Why do you keep asking me to hold your hand? Stop being a jerk and just do what I say. There are many ways.”

Since Yuseo’s vision has only just returned, he doesn’t know where this place is.

Just look behind the girl right there and you can see that the path is open.

‘There’s probably something there.’

I can’t tell right now what it is.

At least, seeing as how they brought Yusera to such a secret place, I could tell it was a pretty important place. That’s why I prepared to fight a little more.

Above all,

“You can’t attack me, right? Right?”

The owner of this place can’t attack me properly.

At least it was half-assed, seeing as he couldn’t properly give anything threatening to the opponent right in front of him.

“No? Then answer quickly. I’m impatient.”

As soon as I finished speaking, the guy took a step towards me. I took a few steps back as if to be on guard.

“Looking at the silence, I guess it’s true. Or not?”

“Ha, that makes sense.”

Then suddenly the bastard used some kind of attack using mana.

The note groaned as if it was in pain, but at least I was fine. Still, I was not letting my guard down.

That was the moment.

Suwoong!

Suddenly, a knife flew quickly in front of me. For a moment, I was so flustered that I couldn’t do anything and almost got hit, but I quickly pulled the trigger that I had prepared to shoot in advance and deflected the knife.

“Ha, what’s wrong with that? I’m right. At least your main attack won’t work on me. Okay?”

As I spoke sarcastically, the guy ground his teeth so loudly that it could be heard here.

Seeing that made me feel a little more relaxed.

“Well, anyway, that’s what happened. So you should get ready to jump behind him. I’ll help you.”

“Haha, well. I see.”

A will that speaks with a smile.

Annoyed, the guy quickly threw another knife at me. I tried to return fire with a bullet as if I was at ease, but suddenly another knife flew at me from the side.

‘this!’

I was so flustered for a moment that I almost couldn’t do anything, but Yusera, who was next to me, struck me down with her sword.

“What kind of help are you saying this for?”

“Dude, shut the fuck up.”

This situation was so embarrassing that I hung my head for a moment.

Damn, I didn’t mean to make a mistake.

I feel annoyed for no reason.

“Okay, get ready to run quickly.”

“I understand.”

I looked at the guy again.

A girl whose name I don’t know at all.

Since it is a being that has never been seen before in the original, he opens his eyes more sharply than usual. At the same time, he continues to prepare for the next attack.

‘I don’t know if my attack will work.’

But one thing is certain: his attacks won’t work on me.

That alone would have given them a good chance of winning.

“Hoo, let’s try it.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I pulled the trigger.

The bullet I shot must have traveled very quickly, but the guy just stood there as if nothing had happened.

“This is so annoying.”

So what are we going to do here?

With such doubts in mind, I slowly opened my mouth.

“You’re that kid from earlier, right?”

“…….”

“I can’t tell because he’s not saying anything. He talked a lot earlier.”

“…….”

“Or are you acting like that because you’re angry? Hey, open your mouth!”

I fired the bullet without hesitation.

Still, the guy just sat there, and in the end, nothing changed.

If things continued as they were, it was obvious that Yuseo would not be able to enter. I felt the need to change the situation a little.

I immediately took out my dagger and slowly took a step forward.

It was the first time I walked forward.

So slowly, I walk.

Move forward, being careful of all the incoming attacks.

My heart is pounding loudly.

It was so noisy that I started to feel uneasy.

I felt so dizzy that I could hardly move my legs.

But I didn’t stop.

I walked over and fired when I felt like I was getting closer, but the guy still couldn’t see much of a difference.

“What kind of attack works on you?”

Why don’t my bullets work on that being?

It was still a question I couldn’t figure out even after thinking about it.

“Hey, answer me.”

Don’t say anything.

But if we’re this close, something will work out.

At least it will be difficult to block Yusera from going. After all, I am in front.

“Do you want me to say something?”

At that moment, while I was letting my guard down, the guy raised his voice.

Because the situation was unknown, I panicked for a moment and almost stepped back out of habit. However, I needed to pretend as if nothing had happened as much as possible.

“Of course. What are you?”

“I am the owner of this place.”

She smiles.

“Really? Then what do you want me to do?”

“Because you’re the owner. Don’t you have to do whatever you want?”

“The owner is a piece of shit. And originally, the guest was the king. So I, the guest, will do as I please.”

“You’re not a guest. You’re trespassing and you’re talking so dirty.”

“Because that’s just the way I am.”

The guy laughs.

But even I could easily tell that it wasn’t a smile because she was happy. She remained still for a while, then opened her mouth with her eyes narrowed.

“No need to worry now, right? Yusera went inside.”

I saw it earlier.

Yusera ran quickly and went inside.

I guess that guy had anticipated what I was thinking to some extent. Well, I guess I couldn’t help but know since I said it out loud before.

“Oh, right.”

Now I just have to be careful and it’ll be over.

But it seems like the guy wants to ruin my plans.

“My name is Charlotte.”

“What is that.”

“Wouldn’t it be polite to tell the person you’re going to kill my name?”

“Haha, this is crazy.”

As Yusera declared.

As I declared.

The guy spoke like us.

“You die here.”

Just as I denied Yusera’s declaration.

This time, all that was left to do was deny the guy’s declaration.
