episode_0089

A few days have passed since the exams ended.

I was just running in the forest behind the dormitory like I usually do. Normally, I would have been okay running in the training grounds, but since there were no obstacles or terrain features, it was safe.

I had no choice but to run, even though it was a bit tiresome, because I needed to practice moving in such a dizzying place.

“Whew. This is hard.”

A peaceful day.

In particular, since nothing was happening at all, it made me feel a bit uneasy. That’s why I was moving with even more energy than usual.

“Still, my stamina has increased somewhat.”

Obviously, if it had been before, I would have collapsed on the floor by now, but for some reason, I was still able to run, even though it had already been over 30 minutes.

Thanks to this, I was able to confirm my physical ability with greater certainty. I think I am in relatively good physical condition compared to other people.

“Still, let’s take a break for now.”

If you lose more stamina for no reason, you might not even be able to return to your room.

I sat down on the floor for a moment and took out my phone from my pocket. Then I slowly opened the map app and looked at the buildings around the academy.

“Now I know what’s nearby.”

There’s a meaning to the map I’ve been looking at ever since I first came to this world.

At first, I didn’t even know where the pharmacy and convenience store were, but now I’m at a point where I even know where the biggest hospital is.

So now, no matter how big the wound is, I know where to go. Of course, that was common sense originally.

I was briefly looking at the map on my phone when I took a look at today’s date.

“Ah, it’s tomorrow.”

Tomorrow, an incident that occurred in the original work will occur.

Of course, it wasn’t a very important development. It was just the main character, Seo Jae-hyeok, getting into a fight with a gangster, fighting back and losing. And then later on, he becomes stronger and gives him a proper lesson. It was a very predictable development.

Tomorrow is the start of the build-up phase.

“Okay, then I’ll get ready too.”

It’s something I’ve been planning since I first came to this world.

While I was taking the class, I couldn’t concentrate. My eyes kept getting drawn to Yusera, and as a result, my already numerous distracting thoughts increased even more.

The whole class was over and I finally had some free time. Yuseo looked delighted and stood up to leave the classroom.

But I had to stop him because I had something to say to him for a moment.

“Hey, Yusera! Talk to me for a minute.”

“Yes?”

Since I called her suddenly, Yusera looked at me with a bewildered expression. She stopped walking and slowly approached me.

“What are you trying to say?”

“Yes. I don’t think this is the place to talk about it, so let’s go somewhere else.”

“? Okay. Okay. ”

Yu Seo-ra nodded and decided to move to another place for a while, following my words. We moved like that and arrived at a corner where there were as few people as possible.

An alley near the academy.

It was dark and I could see dust flying around, which really gave me the confidence that no one would come.

“So. What should I say? I want to go to where Jaehyuk is quickly.”

“I have something to ask you.”

I found myself scratching my head. I guess it was because I felt a little awkward.

After a moment of silence, I spoke in a monotonous voice.

“What do you have to do tomorrow?”

When she heard what I said, Yusera closed her mouth. Then, her pupils trembled slightly with a somewhat surprised expression on her face.

“What, what is it? Asking me out on a date? Sorry, but I have Jaehyuk… … .”

“That’s not what I meant.”

What are you talking about?

For a moment, I interrupted Yusera’s nonsense. Then I continued speaking in a slightly more serious voice.

“You’re not going anywhere tomorrow, right?”

“Huh? So, what do you mean? Are you really asking me out on a date?”

I just continued to stare at Yusera without saying anything.

“Ah, okay. Then let’s go out and play together later, somewhere. But I don’t feel like going tomorrow, so let’s go next time… … .”

“There’s something happening tomorrow, after all.”

I muttered as if I was talking to myself. There was not a single ounce of emotion in it, and it sounded as if it were a given.

After hearing what I said, Yu Seo just glared at me with a blank expression.

“Hey, where are you going? Tell me.”

“… … .”

“There’s nothing good you can do by hiding it?”

When I said that with a slight sneer, Yusura frowned slightly, as if she was offended. It seemed like it was because she had been told that she had work tomorrow.

“Say it. Right now.”

Yusura sighs deeply.

“Please answer only this one. How do you know?”

“Well.”

I muttered something as if I was annoyed. Then, as if she thought I was making fun of her, her expression became even more fierce.

No, but this is really unavoidable.

I only know the future.

Of course, that wasn’t a certain future. I was just trying to use the awkwardness I felt somewhere while reading the novel as information now.

When Seo Jae-hyeok was being bullied, why didn’t Yoo Seo-ra help him? If you think about it, isn’t it awkward?

In fact, in the original work, Yuseo was nowhere to be seen during the weekend. That’s why I was able to think that she had gone somewhere during that time.

So from now on, I plan to follow suit.

Of course, it’s not that I’m following you because it could be dangerous. In fact, in the original, she came back alive on her own.

But apart from that, I needed to know where she was going, and what she was going to get there, if she was going alone.

In short, I plan to follow along to get information.

“Answer correctly.”

Yusera continued speaking in a slightly sharp voice. It seemed as if she was going to beat me up at any moment, and it sent a chill down my spine.

“I just noticed it because I care about you so much.”

“Are you nervous?”

Yoo Seo-ra tilted her head and expressed her doubts. Thanks to her, I could feel the heavy atmosphere slightly easing up.

“Oh, I often look at you and I care about you a lot.”

It’s not really a lie. In fact, there are many times when I look at Yusera because she might act strangely.

“What is that? What kind of confession is that?”

“Do you fucking see that? Are you kidding me? This is fucking crazy.”

“I don’t think so.”

Yoo Se-ra slowly lets out a laugh. But she doesn’t seem to be easing the tension in the atmosphere as she continues.

“You don’t plan on saying anything else?”

“You have no intention of saying anything. I answered everything honestly?”

“Oh, is that what you mean?”

Yuseo looked at me with a stern expression, a stark contrast to his expression just a moment ago.

“There are many things about you that are mysterious. In fact, there are many things you hide, and in fact, I could sense that you were vaguely trying to cover up the strange messages. However, I deliberately passed them on out of consideration for myself, so should I do the same this time?”

Yuseo was a little angry. She had been considerate and thoughtful in her own way, but she felt like he was trying to deceive her again, as if he was looking down on her.

Well, even if it was a will, he probably wasn’t that stubborn, so he probably figured out my lies to some extent. But judging from the fact that he actually let it go and tried to stay with me, it seems like our relationship was better than I expected.

I was left speechless. For some reason, my lips were dry and I felt like my throat was burning. Maybe that was why my body felt heavier than usual.

‘What the hell.’

What did I do wrong?

There were many things that were unfair. In fact, if you think about the things that were hidden, it would have been more if there were more Yoo Seol-ra, but there’s no way I would have more.

But if I made a mistake here, this relationship, which was better than I expected, could have gone awry.

How hard I tried!

I had no choice but to apologize.

“That’s the thing I usually hide, I apologize. But this time, it wasn’t a joke, I really noticed it. I just asked because you were acting different than usual. ”

After hearing my monotonous voice, Yu Seo-ra just stood there expressionless for a moment. After some time had passed, she suddenly smiled and opened her mouth.

“I didn’t mean to ask you to apologize.”

Yu Seo looked at me with narrowed eyes. It seemed like he had never imagined that I would apologize.

No, then what do you want me to do?

As I frowned without realizing it, I approached him as if I was trying to at least relieve his feelings of guilt.

Hey, don’t come. I’m scared of you.

“Honestly speaking, right? If you’re going to say that I hide things, I’m pretty good at it.”

When I heard the words I wanted to say from the depths of my heart directly from Yusera’s mouth, I felt strangely dirty.

“Then why are you talking like that? What the fuck.”

“Well.”

Yusera shrugged and said, frowning even more as she realized that he was teasing her.

“Ah, okay. Explain. Where on earth are you going?”

He spoke even more sharply than usual, so that even if it was just a will, he would know that I was a little upset.

As expected, she opened her mouth without paying any attention to my feelings.

“Well, you know where I usually go? It’s the same as last time.”

When I realized what she meant, I could tell what she was going to do.

‘No, what the hell, another hidden piece?’

It was so funny, this time it was a hidden piece again.

‘No, how many hidden pieces are there in this world?’

It was a thought that made me realize again how much of a novel world this place is.

“Of course, I can’t be sure that it really exists.”

“Not sure?”

Usually, I don’t believe in information that I’m not sure about, such as a will. So when I heard the information that I was not sure about coming out of her mouth, I knew one thing.

No matter how dangerous it is, if the information is true, it is a good enough item to be worth the risk.

“Anyway, that’s what I’m saying, it’s definitely dangerous. So don’t follow me this time. I’ll compensate you later with something else. Got it?”

It was a gesture of consideration on his part. I was a little grateful for that, but I also felt sorry that I had to reject it in the end.

“Still, I plan to follow.”

“No, I said it’s dangerous. That’s why I told you not to follow me.”

“I’ve done dangerous things so many times that it’s okay. It’s better to take on that level of risk.”

When I said it playfully, Yusera looked at me with her mouth slightly open as if she was dumbfounded. She looked like she was going to burst out laughing and tell me not to joke. However, seeing my expression, she realized that it was true, and just looked at me without saying anything.

“Do you understand? Okay. Then, can you explain it to me a little more? I need more information, too.”

“Haa, really.”

Only then did Yuseo sigh as if he had given up. It seems that only today did he begin to understand my personality.

Yeah, I’m a bit stubborn.

“Okay, I’ll explain it to you as simply as possible.”

He just gave me the information in a monotonous voice called Yuseo.

To put it simply, this information is said to have been heard from a Masin Church leader in the previous episode. It was also said before he died, so it could be believed to some extent, but at the same time, it could also be dismissed as nonsense, so caution was needed.

In fact, they say that people talk nonsense before they die.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t just ignore it and move on. That’s because the place we were going to get from now on was something worth taking a risk on.

It’s not because it’s the best hidden piece of all.

That’s because it’s something that will resurrect the most fearsome being.

okay.

It is said to be one of the most important items in resurrecting that ‘drinking’ bastard.

‘What the fuck.’

This is fucked up.
