The meeting continued for a long time after that.

As the agenda was an agenda, Noh Chang-hoon also said that he had no idea that the meeting would last this long.

Kang Si-woo seemed to view this situation positively.

Honestly, it was worth it. Wouldn’t it be okay if we just said meaningless things to each other?

People in each department were discussing the best response they could think of.

In addition, Professor Chang-Hoon Jeong and Si-Woo Kang provided appropriate direction, so I thought that the name Hyeonrimgwan was appropriate.

But for me, it was just a series of boring hours.

If the atmosphere wasn’t so serious, I would have run away long ago.

I would have gone to a suitable place and worked.

I took the ballpoint pen from Noh Chang-hoon.

Noh Chang-hoon looked at me with a questioning expression, then lowered his gaze to the paper.

The written conversation continued for a while.

One thing that was surprising was that Noh Chang-hoon was also bored during this meeting.

It was probably because the part he was involved in was over.

Fortunately, Noh Chang-hoon had a lot of paper for writing.

Since I also had a notebook, it was a perfect way to pass the time.

And for a few minutes, we spent time cuddling with each other.

Then, when the meeting was over, we walked out of Hyeonrimgwan, pretending that nothing had happened.

Honestly, there’s nothing to be proud of when you pout at the end of a meeting, right?

Fortunately, no one seemed interested in what we were doing.

Thanks to this, Noh Chang-hoon and I were able to return to the faculty dormitory calmly.

After entering the dorm, Noh Chang-hoon asked me.

“Which way do you want to go?”

“Uh, well?”

Honestly, I just felt like there was no answer for all three forces.

The Jinju Citizens’ Association persecutes anyone who is not a Jinju citizen.

Hamodan forcibly steals protection money.

And even cannibals. It was just a complete mess.

I felt repulsed by the idea of belonging anywhere.

If it’s a good place…

“Of course, it must be Hamodan.”

First of all, since I am not a citizen of Jinju, I cannot join the Citizens’ Union.

The cannibal obviously had no intention of entering.

In that case, it seemed that Hamodan, who seemed to be relatively well-versed, would be the best at digging up information.

This place seemed the most normal.

Noh Chang-hoon smiled and said, as if he felt relieved only then.

“I knew it was Hamodan. If it had been any other force, it would have been stopped.”

“I thought I would choose something.”

“Jinju Citizens’ Union?”

“Who do you think is an idiot?”

Unexpected situations could exist.

A saint is not a saint until another saint vouchsafes her.

I had no intention of going to any force even though I had no way to prove my identity.

Jinju Citizens’ Union, what? Since they need information there, they will accept saints.

However, an ordinary woman who is not a saint is just a candidate for slavery to them.

Of course, the cannibals can’t go, so all that’s left is Hamodan.

I stayed still for a moment, then threw the pillow.

Noh Chang-hoon accepted the pillow as is.

To be honest, I thought I would avoid or block it, but this was a bit surprising.

Noh Chang-hoon said as he put the pillow back in its place.

“It’s like a punishment, right?”

“Then I guess I threw it for no reason?”

“I only got it right this once.”

“Yes, please continue to welcome me.”

I lay down on the bed.

Normally, I would still be wandering around campus to work, but…

Now I really had to rest for the upcoming operation.

I don’t know if Noh Chang-hoon knew that, but he didn’t say anything to me.

After a few dozen minutes, I suddenly heard footsteps.

“Who is it?”

I quickly got up.

Noh Chang-hoon slowly opened the door and let Kang Si-woo inside.

To be honest, I thought Kang Si-woo would come, but I didn’t know he would come right away.

I hurriedly sat down and spoke.

“You came right away? Organizing the results of the meeting or something like that?”

“Yeji Choi will do that.”

“Ah, ah. Then, why did you come?”

“I thought you forgot to start.”

“Of course, I didn’t forget… G?”

Both eyes were focused on me.

To be honest, I didn’t completely forget.

I vaguely remembered it to some extent.

I was thinking of leaving in the evening.

I thought leaving around 7pm would be perfect.

Fortunately, Kang Si-woo seemed to believe me when I said that we were going to leave at 7 PM.

Noh Chang-hoon didn’t seem to believe me, but whatever.

Since it wasn’t a very important issue, I decided to skip it.

“Anyway, I’m glad you have a plan.”

“Well, I always have a rough plan.”

“Before I go, I came here to have a drink.”

Kang Si-woo took out three bottles of soju.

It was clear that each person probably brought one bottle.

I immediately picked up a bottle of soju.

It was a little disappointing that it was lukewarm, but this was also acceptable.

But Noh Chang-hoon didn’t seem to think well of that.

“Kang Si-woo. Are you planning on letting your kid drink and drive?”

“Wouldn’t one bottle be okay? Anyway, this is just the extent of the message.”

“Okay, Changhun. They say Siwoo is like that.”

“If you get caught causing a car accident again, I know you’ll never be able to drink.”

“Yes, yes. Okay.”

Soju was very delicious.

Noh Chang-hoon scolded him for not drinking much.

Kang Si-woo and I, who roughly knew the truth, laughed awkwardly.

In fact, alcohol was almost impossible to drink on campus.

Although there was a surplus of alcohol, it was actually served as a special meal.

A person who works hard or a bottle of soju?

Of course, it was obvious that if it were me, I could drink at any time as long as I told Kang Si-woo.

However, I preferred tastier food to alcohol, so I didn’t have many opportunities to drink alcohol.

Ramen and soju. Then of course it’s the former.

Anyway, after the three of us emptied our bottles, it felt like we were in a bit of a mood.

Well, it’s a shame that we have to leave without being able to enjoy that atmosphere for long.

“Are you ready, Mr. Yeji?”

“Yes. Changhoon packed my bag and did everything.”

“Thank goodness. I came here because I thought maybe I wasn’t fully prepared.

It seemed like everything was ready, but thank you for your hard work, Mr. Changhoon.”

Kang Si-woo sent a look to Noh Chang-hoon, congratulating him on his hard work.

Noh Chang-hoon also sent a look to Kang Si-woo, congratulating him on his hard work.

It was quite funny because they looked like older brothers raising a younger sister who requires a lot of work.

Of course, I’m not the kind of sister who needs a lot of work, so I was able to laugh.

And perhaps each of them interpreted my laughter in a different way, and they both sighed.

Noh Chang-hoon sighed as if he couldn’t help this bastard, and Kang Si-woo sighed as if he was cute.

After sighing like that, Kang Si-woo opened his mouth as if he had just remembered something.

“Now that I think about it, did you take your favorite foods?”

“Favorite food?”

“Yes. Things like cigarettes and coffee also have currency value.”

“Uh… ?”

I looked at Noh Chang-hoon.

Instead of answering, Noh Chang-hoon pointed to a bag that was more than half empty.

“Changhoon didn’t take care of it!”

“Why is it my fault? I didn’t put it in for you to decide on your own.”

“… As expected, it seemed like something was lacking. It’s a good thing you came.”

Kang Si-woo took out a notebook from his arms.

Then he opened a page of the notebook and showed it to us.

Noh Chang-hoon and I read the words written on the sheets at the same time.

There were various English words written on each sheet that I couldn’t understand.

Kang Si-woo said as he slowly turned the pages of his notebook.

“That from a little while ago was inventory of cigarettes. And this… ”

“Mix coffee? Is this coffee? I secretly like coffee.”

“I didn’t know that Yeji liked coffee. yes. It’s coffee.”

“Oh… ”

“And on this sheet, the type of condom is written. The next chapter is canned food and snacks.”

“Ah.”

I shyly averted my gaze.

Well, what should I say? I know it’s necessary, but it still felt like something.

Kang Si-woo said as he tore off the last page of the notebook and handed it to me.

“You are free to take whatever you want. I’ll give you anything.”

“Is that okay? This is something people will like.”

“These are items that can be obtained from somewhere else anyway. and… ”

“And?”

“There are still several times this amount left in the warehouse, so you don’t have to feel burdened.”

“Okay, then I have to take everything with me.”

First of all, I wanted to grab canned goods and coffee.

Although it was a drawback that it was inconvenient to boil water, it was a benefit to be able to taste the taste of instant coffee again.

Eating snacks with coffee is a huge privilege in this world.

Honestly, even if I didn’t want to run the happiness circuit, I had no choice but to run it naturally.

The moment when I was looking at the pages of the notebook and running a lot of happy circuits.

Noh Chang-hoon lightly tapped the back of my head.

“Ouch.”

“I hit you because it hurt.”

“Why? They say I can take as much as I want.”

“Preferred food. It can be used as currency. Don’t you understand?”

“Ah.”

Only then did I understand Kang Si-woo’s meaning.

All of the items written on this sheet were not given to me for my use.

It was given to me to be useful when dealing with other survivors.

I felt a little sorry for being distracted by coffee and snacks like an idiot.

… However, I had no intention of giving up coffee.

Some time passed.

After deciding what items to bring, I wrote them down in Kang Si-woo’s notebook.

Kang Si-woo smiled and said he would take care of the items, but then slowly made a questioning expression.

“En? Why?”

“By any chance, Mr. Yeji. Did you pack the things you need for lodging and food?”

“Ah, ah! Chang, Changhoon!”

They both sighed at the same time.

I just smiled sheepishly.

I felt like I had to admit that I was the sister who needed a lot of work.
