Chapter Index

    At this point, I had no choice but to admit it, whether I liked it or not.

    So… I was secretly looking down on the person named Han Joo-yeon.

    I guess the image that remains most strongly in my mind is of him attacking Rahee with a confident face and then walking away without even being able to use her face, so that seems to have had an influence…

    No, even if that’s the case, do you usually act like that in situations like this…?

    This is just a suicide attack that the kids in the neighboring country said they did because they didn’t want to lose the war…

    However, one effect seemed certain.

    “What?”

    As soon as the statement in question came out of Juyeon’s mouth, blood appeared in Rahee’s neck.

    The shape was so vivid that it seemed like a scene from a cartoon.

    “What would you do if something happened?”

    “Ha… Hey, Han Joo-yeon.”

    A voice that sinks almost as deep as the Mariana Trench.

    Did old memories start to automatically replay in my head when I heard Rahee’s voice full of ‘sincerity’, which I rarely hear unless it’s something serious?

    Juyeon’s shoulders visibly flinched for a moment, as if he couldn’t completely maintain his shameless attitude even in such a situation.

    “I guess you forgot what my personality is like?”

    “···So what, let’s fight?”

    “There’s nothing you can’t do.”

    “Are you okay? This time, it will be difficult even with your family’s strength to cover it, right? As you know, a lot of famous people live here, right?”

    “Want to use other people as shields? I don’t think you were this bad in the past, but you’ve become a lot more petty over the years.”

    Was it a bit of a shock to hear such words from Ra-hee, who I thought was my lifelong enemy and not just anyone else?

    Juyeon’s expression shook greatly for a moment.

    But that was all.

    Perhaps they decided that given the circumstances, there would be no good thing in showing that they were shaken.

    Juyeon, who quickly restored his expression, continued speaking with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

    “If you say you have become petty, would you say that you have become a member of society?”

    “Society people are damned. It’s hard to pretend to be an adult by yourself.”

    “Rahee, aren’t you living in the same old way?”

    It’s just so bitter…

    The air flowing between them was so sharp and bitter that Ari, who had an expression on his face that seemed to say ‘Everyone’s dead!’ when he and Ra-hee burst into the house, opened his eyes wide and said, ‘Uh… um…’ It was almost like I was just making noises and watching what the two were doing.

    No matter how stupid I am, I don’t think I can dare to intervene there.

    ” To put it bluntly, if I even report you here, you’ll just be sent to detention?”

    “Now are you going to threaten me?”

    “I’m telling the truth, not a threat. Anyway, it’s true that they broke in without my consent as the landlord, right? Since they even used their ‘talent’ to break in… wouldn’t they be subject to more severe punishment under the Special Act on Awakened Persons?”

    “Well, I guess so.”

    “Right? Is that what you think? Then, when I say something nice, it’s so badㅡ”

    “If you are a person who will not be able to avoid being detained anyway, you should just unpack what is piled up and go. Then.”

    As Rahee said that, she slightly bent her wrist, and a sharp, harsh sound came from there.

    “As for cleaning things up… I’m sure someone who works as a consulting attorney at the guild will do something.”

    “Hmph, I think our guild will just sit there and watch…”

    “Wait a minute, teachers? It seems like the atmosphere is too heated right now? You really don’t plan on doing anything here, do you?”

    It didn’t seem like a situation worth interfering in, so I kept quiet for now, but if I left it like this, a live-action version of A Song of Ice and Fire would unfold right in front of my eyes, so I hurriedly intervened between the two…

    “You haven’t done anything good, so be quiet!”

    “It’s noisy, so I’d like you to be quiet, right?”

    I was able to achieve the rare feat of eating Kusari from both sides.

    No, but these are really…

    “Stop it.”

    “ugh···.”

    “kk···.”

    As if there was a huge warehouse sale before the season changed, they pulled out all the inner energy that was dormant in their danjeon and scattered it towards the two, but couldn’t they growl at each other even in a situation where it felt like something invisible was pressing hard on their shoulders?

    With the sound of swallowing, the bickering between the two that had been going on since before finally entered a lull.

    “First… let’s sit down. Let’s sit down and talk.”

    “What about the door?”

    “Ah… That’s right.”

    The entrance was now open.

    “Wouldn’t it be okay to at least hang a security hook in a hurry?”

    Since it is a high-class officetel, I wondered what I would do if I didn’t have it, but fortunately, it was available.

    So, in a hurry, I used it to lock the door, then took the three of us and headed towards the sofa that Juyeon and I had been using to talk earlier.

    “Sit down.”

    “···Someone would think that I am the landlord.”

    “My words.”

    No…are they the kids who were yelling at each other just a moment ago…?

    Why does it only come together in situations like this?

    “Sit down. Are you going to keep standing like that? Then?”

    “Ha···.”

    “Tsk···.”

    Did he not like the fact that he had to sit across from someone he didn’t like at all?

    Rahee sighed and sat down with her butt on my right side.

    Then, as if Juyeon couldn’t lose, he clicked his tongue openly and sat across from him as if he wanted someone to listen.

    “Ari, go next to Rahee over there.”

    “···.”

    He’s naturally trying to sit next to me.

    “From what I saw, Ari, you didn’t do anything well either?”

    I don’t know anything else, but I was able to say that part with certainty because it was honestly obvious how Rahee would have found out my location.

    At the very least, Ari must have had a hand in it in some way.

    ‘No, but it’s clear…’

    I remember that Ari completely deleted the location tracking app that he installed on my phone without me knowing last time.

    After that, I took great care to guard the phone so that it would not fall into Ari’s hands.

    But how did they find out my location?

    That part was truly a mystery, but I decided to wait until the next opportunity to resolve the question, and for now, I decided to focus on the situation unfolding in front of me.

    “Now, first of all, you, Rahee.”

    “What am I.”

    “You’re not asking because you really don’t know, right? It wasn’t a problem because I didn’t bother to hold the blame and move on. If you keep doing this, you’ll really get caught.”

    Although there are some such tendencies in any country, Korea is particularly sensitive to crimes committed by awakened people.

    Should I say that even if they commit the same crime, the awakened person receives a more severe punishment?

    Of course, in the case of Rahee, the background itself is so rich that unless it is a truly serious crime, it may be possible to put an end to it at the guild level… but that method is not perfect.

    So I tried to appeal with sincerity in my voice, but luckily Rahee also felt the ‘sincerity’ in my voice.

    “I thought you were taken by force by him.”

    Rahee protested in a voice that seemed to be filled with anger.

    In the meantime, there was a slight hint of pouting in his voice, as if he felt sorry for me saying something only to him.

    “Ha… In this day and age, who handles things like that? Oh, I guess they still use that method on the flame swell side?”

    “What? This…!”

    “Uh-huh! Be quiet!”

    I thought he’d calmed down a bit, but I never thought he wouldn’t be able to stand it anymore and try to fight again.

    In a moment of panic, I unknowingly hit the table between us with my palm. Then, with a sound that shouldn’t have been heard, a new palm pattern appeared on the table.

    ···This looks expensive.

    No, let’s not be scared.

    who am I?

    Owner of a bank account with a balance of 1 billion.

    If you ask me anything, I’ll just buy you a new one.

    Is it because I remembered the number of zeros in my bankbook?

    Even though I hadn’t eaten anything, I suddenly felt very reassured and confidence began to surge from inside my stomach.

    Thanks to this, I was able to speak with a strong voice without any sign of hesitation.

    “You guys… Are you honestly not tired of us fighting like that every time we meet?”

    “Not at all?”

    “Han Ju-yeon, she started the fight first.”

    “Ha? I? I started the fight first?”

    “Look, that’s what happens?”

    I can’t even last more than a few seconds…

    By the way, I just said something harsh to Rahee… so it would be right to take Rahee’s hand here.

    More than anything… when I saw it, it seemed right that Han Joo-yeon was unilaterally picking a fight with Ra-hee.

    “I have no choice but to take Rahee’s side in this case.”

    “What?”

    “Put your hand on your heart and think about it carefully. Can you really say that you had no intention of picking a fight with Rahee?”

    “···.”

    Fortunately, my conscience didn’t fail me at all.

    Juyeon kept his mouth shut, as if he didn’t have anything to say.

    “I think we’ve both calmed down at this point.”

    then?

    It’s probably time to finish what was left unfinished due to Juyeon’s unexpected behavior earlier.

    “By the way…Ari, why are you raising your hand?”

    “I have a question!”

    “What is it?”

    “Why on earth are you taking off your pants?”

    “Ah, this is…”

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    “···That’s how it happened. Do you understand?”

    “Then, where are those wet pants now?”

    Eh…?
