Chapter Index

    As I continued towards City Hall, there were more people moving than I expected.

    There will still be a long time left before the National Assembly opens.

    It didn’t look like he came early like me to check on something.

    If you see groups of people gathering together and talking about suspicious things…

    “As expected, they are interest groups.”

    I grumbled a little.

    Yeah, whatever. I knew it because I had seen it on campus as well.

    Even on campus, there were departments in charge of various fields.

    And each department introduced many policies to strengthen its own department.

    There are things that are done to make more profit and to pour beans on one’s own people.

    Of course, it didn’t get overheated as Kang Si-woo was there.

    If there was pie, everyone had a piece.

    Depending on the importance of work, there were places to eat more.

    And now they were fighting for more of the less important pieces.

    I’ve already seen enough to benefit from, but I want to eat more… That cute feeling?

    But that didn’t seem to be the case here at all.

    Without thinking about the safety of the community, they reach for their bowls to eat more.

    Even if all that was left was cream on his hands, he seemed like a person who wouldn’t regret it.

    As soon as my thoughts reached that point, I suddenly became uncomfortable.

    “I need to memorize the map.”

    “Sister, aren’t you going to talk?”

    “I don’t know, something like that. Honestly, it’s annoying. Even memorizing medicine makes my head explode.”

    “… ”

    Park Kang-chan looked at me with cold eyes.

    It was as if he was seeing his older sister rolling around in the house.

    Wearing only a t-shirt and dolphin pants, I lay down in the living room eating snacks and playing with my phone.

    It was like looking at an unemployed person just like that, so for some reason, a part of my heart felt bitter.

    Park Kang-chan sighed for a moment and then spoke to me.

    “Won’t you be smart if you just put your mind to it?”

    “That’s it, right?”

    “Leading things to others is a bad habit.”

    “I don’t know.”

    To be honest, it was so annoying to use my brain like this right now that I was dying.

    I wanted to leave it to Noh Chang-hoon and Kang Si-woo and just use my body.

    Since that wasn’t the case, I just did it by myself.

    More than that, the more I looked at this medicine, the better it seemed to be drawn.

    I was almost tempted to ask for one more. No, now that I think about it, I can take it.

    “Hey, Kang Chan.”

    “Yes.”

    “Give me this medicine too. It’s worth the price.”

    “… Yes?”

    “You don’t use it. Aren’t you memorizing the route?”

    “I didn’t memorize everything either. This is for reference only.”

    “Then make another one and give it to me.”

    “Yes.”

    Park Kang-chan let out a long sigh.

    Judging by the grumbling, it seemed like it was quite a hassle to make.

    Well, that wasn’t my business. When you finish making it, you should give me a cigarette in moderation.

    As I arrived at the city hall building, I saw unfamiliar hair colors.

    It was okay up to that point, but suddenly I got goosebumps.

    I wrapped one hand around Park Kang-chan’s waist and lifted him up.

    And then he lightly took a few steps back.

    Maybe it was because I was momentarily nervous, but even though I backed away lightly, it seemed like I had gone a few meters further.

    Park Kang-chan must have been quite surprised, as he was holding my upper body quite tightly.

    Finally, Park Kang-chan looked at me for a moment, then pointed to the women gathered in groups of twos and threes and said.

    “Because of those people?”

    “Yes. I suddenly got goosebumps, so I took a step back.”

    “Are you scared of something too?”

    “I’m also scared of ghosts and nocturnal mutants. If it shows up, I’ll scream and kill you.

    Rather, this is my first time feeling this way.”

    It felt like the radar had been turned on for the first time in a long time.

    But I wasn’t excited or anything like that. The body temperature rose, but the senses themselves became sharper.

    The emotions also subsided very calmly.

    I had this strange feeling, like I was preparing for a decisive battle.

    I didn’t even think I could win in a fight.

    I took Park Kang-chan with me and stayed near City Hall.

    I needed to define this emotion or feeling.

    “No, I. Grab the general too. Grab the Spider King too. I caught the Baron and even the count.”

    “What is it all about?”

    “Like this, just… Calmly? The emotions didn’t subside. When I fight, I feel excited and excited.”

    “Sister?”

    “It’s my first time, so yeah. Because it’s so embarrassing.”

    “You’re okay, right?”

    Park Kang-chan looked at me as if he was worried.

    For now, I smiled.

    It was really okay. I was just confused because it was my first time experiencing this kind of sensation.

    I was surprised by the sudden increase in my physical abilities, which were only at a strong level unless I was angry or in a near-dead state.

    Fortunately, no one seemed to care about us.

    Well, if you saw it, you probably wouldn’t have been surprised.

    “Ugh, I looked like I couldn’t see it. By the way, were you scared earlier? He held me so tightly that it left handprints.”

    “That, sister. It would be scary for anyone to step back at that speed.”

    “I see. There’s a back door to City Hall, right? Let’s turn around and go in. What’s wrong with those people… ”

    “… Sister?”

    I quickly turned my head.

    Someone was approaching from a distance. I reflexively tried to take out my baton, but realized I had left it behind.

    An unknown alarm bell was ringing. That’s my natural enemy, so I have to be careful when fighting.

    That kind of feeling… It was a woman. Very, um. What can I say?

    “Hello… !”

    “Ah, yes. uh. Hello.”

    I looked at the woman who approached me.

    No matter how I looked at it, it felt like I had no friends.

    For some reason, I ended up a few steps behind the gathering of saints.

    His hair was a gloomy dark purple, and his eyes were also a dull black.

    Just by looking at him, you could tell he was a strange person, and his clothes were also unique.

    He was wearing a purple scarf, a black coat, and jeans.

    The extra thick leather gloves were a bonus.

    And even though she had big breasts, the buttons on her coat looked really hard, as if she was forcing herself to wear it.

    I poked Park Kang-chan’s side as he looked somewhere and rolled his head.

    First of all, it was clear that that woman was not hostile to me.

    I don’t know if it’s okay to use this analogy, but it felt like I was watching from the sidelines as the famous bully in class found someone he identified with.

    It felt so harmless that I thought maybe even if I made an unreasonable request, they would give it to me right away.

    But the sensation was different. Clearly, this woman is dangerous.

    The signal was being sent steadily. So it was even more confusing.

    “My name is Ahn Hae-jin. Nice to meet you.”

    “Yes, uh. Yeji Lee, ”

    “It’s a pretty name. Maybe, talk! Is it possible?”

    “… Yes.”

    I gestured to Park Kang-chan.

    This meant going inside the city hall first.

    Park Kang-chan nodded and left, saying he would be waiting at the back door.

    Ahn Hae-jin seemed quite excited.

    Are you oblivious, or are you pretending not to notice?

    He didn’t seem to notice that I wasn’t very friendly.

    I mean, I was under guard from the moment I first met him.

    “By any chance, what are your abilities?”

    Ahn Hae-jin asked with shining eyes.

    I thought for a moment. It seemed like I had already seen improvement in my physical abilities.

    However, since that is something that naturally evolves as you catch zombies, I thought I wouldn’t be able to attack it with my abilities.

    If I were to fool you, it would be about tenacity and regenerative power.

    I said with a forced smile.

    “It has good tenacity and regenerative power. But, why is this?”

    “Somehow, it felt strange. Something seems to suit me well… It’s a feeling.”

    “… Yes?”

    Ahn Hae-jin took off the glove on one hand and laughed.

    And liquid began to drip from his hand.

    The liquid gradually pooled in my hand, then fell to the floor and made an odd sound.

    Ahn Hae-jin, who showed me that, smiled brightly and said.

    “I can emit a liquid from any part of my body that can dissolve anything.”

    “… Is it possible to melt everything?”

    “Ah, you can change the consistency or properties slightly by touching it.”

    “Yes. What.”

    “Regeneration ability can also be nullified!”

    Well, I was curious about what this person was doing.

    For someone who just revealed that he has the ability to regenerate, it’s possible to nullify that.

    I didn’t know if you were here to brag that I was higher than you, or if people were really like this.

    First of all, it seemed clear that he was a dangerous person. My mind seems unstable as well.

    … Not something I would say, since I always hang my headset on a peg, but anyway.

    I thought it would be best to break up with this person here.

    “Perhaps it’s because I’m busy. Can I see you again later?”

    Of course, I had no intention of seeing it again later.

    Nothing good has ever happened associating with this type of person.

    Ahn Hae-jin put on his gloves and waved at me.

    I was glad that they listened to me at least. Otherwise, it would have been a bit annoying.

    After responding appropriately, I entered the back door of the city hall.

    “Are you here, sister?”

    “Yes.”

    “Do you know someone?”

    “Do you understand? It’s someone I don’t know. I probably don’t know most of the saints here.”

    “You had a good time.”

    “… ”

    Park Kang-chan must have seen that my expression was not good, and made an excuse, saying it was a joke.

    It wasn’t really wrong. Because that’s right.

    It’s just that I heard things like that when I was already in a complicated state of mind.

    I took a deep breath and shook my head.

    “Just now, it seemed like there were five or six people with strange hair colors.”

    “Ah, the people gathered… Women?”

    “Yes. Originally I was just going to watch, but I think we need to meet.”

    “Why?”

    I just laughed.

    The reason was simple. I thought it was necessary to know at least what abilities these people have.

    I can’t guarantee that there won’t be more people like Hae-jin.
