,What… already disbanding…?”

Satan suddenly began to scatter.

His allies also began to scatter.

Of course, since they started the war first, they couldn’t end it as they pleased.

Suddenly, the number of Babel users increased dramatically, and they began to mercilessly push back Satan.

,Shall we join in too?”

Helena, who had been watching the whole situation from the side, asked with a slight smile.

Of course, we also have a reason to join in. Satan suddenly declared war.

,Hmm…”

But is it really necessary to go that far?

Looking at the Satan Guild being beaten up by people, I felt strangely sorry for them.

,I don’t think it’s necessary to go that far…?”

For some unknown reason, the war ended in vain.

Arthur disappeared, chasing after the fleeing Satan Guild members.

Was it because it didn’t meet their expectations? The spectators who had been watching complained and left one by one.

The front of the castle gate was empty in an instant.

Helena and I, who were left on the deserted street, entered the capital city, holding each other’s hands without either of us saying anything first.

,Yeona.”

,Huh?”

,Do you have time today?”

At Helena’s question, I lifted my head and looked at her face.

Her eyes were sparkling with great anticipation. Looking at her beautifully curved lips, I couldn’t bring myself to say no.

I did have time. I had finished all the weekly raid quests.

Rather, I had too much time on my hands.

,Yeah.”

I farm gold and items to clear the raid.

I prepare as best as I can for about a week and use everything in the raid.

Then, the following week, I repeat the process again.

That was my typical Deron play style.

But now I didn’t have to do that.

Thanks to Helena, I had some financial leeway.

How long has it been since I felt this kind of freedom?

I walked silently through the capital city with Helena.

I think as I walk. Two hours have passed since lunchtime ended.

But Jupiter hasn’t logged in yet.

I wonder if something happened to her?

As I tilted my head with a slight worry, Helena stopped in her tracks and said.

,Yeona.”

,Huh?”

,What are you going to do after you graduate from high school?”

What am I going to do after I graduate from high school?

The answer was already decided.

,I’m going to play Deron.”

Isn’t it obvious? I will continue to play Deron.

If I get out of being a high school student, I will have more time to log into Deron than now.

Helena, who had been gaping at my answer, let out a light chuckle.

Her smile was so beautiful that I stared blankly at Helena’s face for a while.

,Whoa…”

Around the time when school was about to end.

I opened the capsule lid and crawled out.

My whole body felt strangely languid and hot.

I wondered if I had a cold and was touching my forehead when Ellie’s small face suddenly popped up in front of me.

,Huk…”

I was so surprised by the sudden approach that I backed away.

I, who had been pushed back into the capsule, opened my mouth towards Ellie, who was looking down at me.

,Ellie…? Why didn’t you log into Deron today?”

,Today, you say…? I couldn’t log in because I was playing VRS… More than that, Hayeon… are you alright?”

,Alright, you say…?”

As I tilted my head at Ellie’s worried gaze, Sohee appeared behind her.

Sohee, who had approached silently, grabbed the back of Ellie’s neck as if she was used to it.

,Hieok…!”

,I told you not to say weird things.”

,B, but…!”

,Get ready to go home.”

,Eeit…!”

Ellie, who had been grabbed by Sohee, struggled with her whole body before drooping and nodding her head.

I wondered what was going on and stared blankly at them when Sohee smiled and approached me.

,Let’s go home.”

,Ah, yeah. But what did Ellie mean earlier? She asked me if I was okay.”

,It’s nothing. I think there was a problem with the capsule.”

A problem with the capsule?

At Sohee’s answer, I turned around.

No wonder my body felt languid and hot. It seemed like the air conditioner inside was broken.

,Did the other capsules have problems too?”

,It seems so. Don’t worry, we’ll collect them all and replace them with new ones.”

***

Ellie swallowed a groan as she watched the two people walking ahead.

She saw it. She couldn’t help but see it. From the start, Sohee didn’t even try to hide it, so Ellie couldn’t help but witness everything.

What on earth did she do inside?

Ellie glared at Sohee’s ass as she walked lightly.

Her breasts are big, and her ass is big too.

She must have crushed her precious friend Hayeon with that huge body.

Ellie recalled the situation right after lunchtime.

Hayeon said she was going first and tried to log into Deron.

Ellie and Sohee remained and began to clean up their desks.

It was during that time. Sohee began to move.

Sohee, who had neatly cleaned up her desk, said to Ellie.

,Don’t log into Deron today.’

,Huh…? Why should I do that?’

,Just don’t do it if I tell you not to.’

Ellie couldn’t help but nod at her firm tone.

Ellie was afraid of Sohee. It wasn’t just because of Sohee’s background.

It was just that gaze, that cold, inorganic gaze that fell on her, that was scary.

Ellie swallowed hard and avoided her gaze.

Sohee smiled satisfactorily at all those reactions and headed towards Hayeon’s capsule.

The capsule, which was locked from the inside, normally cannot be opened from the outside unless the power is cut off.

But Sohee opened the capsule lid without any restrictions.

Without cutting off the power.

A series of impossible events

The capsule lid soared high into the sky.

Ellie, who had been staring blankly at the sight, couldn’t help but be greatly embarrassed by Sohee’s subsequent actions.

She went into the capsule with her…

That’s right. Sohee attempted to enter that narrow one-person capsule.

I couldn’t know what she did in that cramped space.

Because I couldn’t get close.

,Y, you… what are you doing…’

,Shh. It’s a secret.’

It took Sohee about 10 minutes to get out of the capsule.

Sohee’s condition had changed a lot in that short time.

Her face was flushed red, and she was panting.

It was quite a contrast to her calm appearance before entering the capsule.

Sohee, with a satisfied expression, then headed to her capsule and logged into Deron.

Ellie was left alone in the classroom.

Ellie swallowed hard and watched Sohee’s capsule.

She was afraid that if she tried to log into the game, Sohee might secretly slip out and do something suspicious to her too.

,Ellie.”

,… Ah, me, you say…?”

Ellie, who had been spreading her terrifying imagination, belatedly answered Hayeon’s call.

,Yeah. You. I was thinking of going out for dinner tonight, do you want to come with us?”

Thump!

A dinner invitation from a friend.

It was the first time in Ellie’s life.

But Ellie couldn’t answer.

Because Sohee, who was watching from behind Hayeon, was glaring at her with a terrifying gaze.

It was a look that conveyed the will to never follow her.

But Hayeon didn’t wait for Ellie’s answer.

Hayeon reached out and grabbed Ellie’s hand.

,Ellie’s coming too, right?”

How could she refuse?

Ellie looked down at Hayeon’s hand holding hers and nodded blankly.

A bright smile spread across her face in an instant at that answer.

Ellie stared at Hayeon’s smile as if she was possessed.

Watching that scene, Ellie thought.

She wanted to stretch out her soft-looking cheeks on both sides.

Of course, she didn’t put it into practice.

The three high school girls, who had ended up together by chance, wandered around the downtown streets.

Of the three people who came downtown, it was Hayeon who led the group.

They played crane games and took sticker pictures.

She learned it on the internet. What do high school girls of this generation do for fun?

Hayeon nodded to herself and headed to the vending machine in the distance.

Because she remembered the content of the article that high school girls enjoy drinking coffee.

Hayeon took out her piggy bank wallet from her pocket and used the coins inside to get canned coffee.

Deolkeongdeolkeong-

A total of three blue canned coffees fell under the vending machine.

Hayeon hugged the canned coffees in her arms and headed towards Sohee and Ellie.

,Here!”

,This is…”

,Le…shubi…?”

Lesuvi.

It was the most familiar coffee brand to Hayeon.

A sweet and cool taste. An attractive taste that anyone can drink without feeling any aversion.

They had a good time together and even bought coffee.

Now it was time to eat the dinner they had promised.

Hayeon led Sohee and Ellie to a Gukbap (Korean soup and rice) restaurant in a secluded area.

,Hello!”

Three high school girls in school uniforms entered the Gukbap restaurant.

And it was a Sundae Gukbap (Korean blood sausage soup and rice) specialty restaurant.

An unusual combination. And all three of them deserve the title of beautiful girls.

Of course, they received a lot of attention.

But Hayeon ignored all those gazes and shouted familiarly.

,Three Sundae Gukbaps, please!”

It’s different from Pork Bone Hangover Stew, where you have to debone the meat.

Sohee would be satisfied with Sundae Gukbap, which is enjoyed by people of all ages.

Hayeon nodded, admiring her own thoughts.

A hearty meal that you can enjoy without any hassle.

That’s Sundae Gukbap.

,Sundae Gukbap…”

Sohee mumbled blankly as she looked around the inside of the store.

The interior is clean. The tables are also sparkling clean and very hygienic.

But…

This was not the place Sohee wanted.

Tuk-

Her carelessly moving hand touched a small box in her pocket.

The solid and small box. Inside was a silver necklace engraved with Sohee’s initials.

Of course, it’s not something Sohee herself would wear.

A gift for the person in front of her. Hayeon.

But she couldn’t give it.

,Wow…!”

About 10 minutes after ordering, three bowls of Sundae Gukbap that Hayeon had ordered were placed on the table.

The three earthenware pots were steaming hot.

Sohee clenched the small box in her pocket so hard that it was about to break.

She can’t give a gift in a place like this. The atmosphere… the atmosphere doesn’t suit it.

,Hoo… hoo…! Ellie. This is how you eat it.”

,L, like this, you say…? Hoo…!”

Sohee frowned at Hayeon’s actions.
