108 – Numbers_4
It wasn’t difficult to figure out the identities of the black suits.
Even if he didn’t want to reveal it even if he died, he had no choice but to answer obediently if he used Sara to make her a follower.
“You mean Astra?”
“Yes, it is.”
The black suit nodded.
Then my head exploded with a pop.
Perhaps there was a restriction on death if spoken out.
I wondered if this is why they didn’t say anything even when the black suits were in danger of dying, but there was nothing for me to care about.
There were still countless numbers of black suits that hadn’t died yet, and it was possible to collect enough information just by listening to each one.
While the task was cumbersome, it was not difficult to use Sara to make the living black suits into her followers and gather information one by one.
In addition, I was able to recover the blood and corpses that were lacking, so there was nothing bad about me.
It was easy to figure out the general situation by combining the information that the majority of the black suits exploded in their heads.
As she borrowed the name of Astra to commit the continued terror, it seemed that Astra was getting a fever because she was interrupted by what she was doing.
However, there was no way to catch an unknown impersonator, so they said that they were investigating the impersonator in the place where the incident had occurred several times.
‘You mean Number 12 is here?’
And the person in charge of that investigation was Number 12 Rei Hozumi.
The main body’s skills were at the top of the A-class, but thanks to the ability of teleportation, it was so good that it was a strong person comparable to the lower S-class.
‘I thought it would come someday…’
Since I was impersonating myself, I expected this much.
But it came too soon.
I thought it would come at the beginning of next year as expected, but I wonder what the main villain organization of the original work, who was slow even after being defeated by the main characters, wanted to move so quickly.
‘What should I do?’
It is not difficult to catch Rei Hozumi.
Even if her skills are comparable to those of the lower S class, it only appears that way because her abilities are so good.
For me, it was easy to use Ines’ ability nullification and using Sara’s followers in her city to pinpoint Hozumi Rei’s location, so it would be easy to catch her if I prepared a proper trap for her.
But the problem starts after catching Rei Hozumi.
Astra’s behavior now is different from the original.
Then, when Rei Hozumi said she was missing, she wasn’t sure another number was coming.
No matter how you deal with double-digit numbers of 11 or 10, single-digit numbers are monsters whose abilities are comparable to those of S-class, except for their superpowers, so I couldn’t be bothered by them.
Apart from that, there was a possibility that my face would be sold by the two talented people inside Astra, the Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Sound.
Even if there is a superpower nullification, it can’t be activated 24 hours a day, so even if you don’t sell your face, it’s like letting Astra know that there’s a superpower nullification.
‘No, they might have been caught already.’
A while ago, I used nullification of abilities in preparation for an unexpected event.
‘Still, being caught is different from being certain.’
In addition, it was clear that if I touched Rei Hozumi here, it would affect what Astra wanted to achieve.
‘Emm…’
Astra’s goals and her goals are somewhat in line with each other.
However, she said that if Astra’s goal becomes difficult to achieve, then my goal will become difficult to achieve.
‘Teleportation…’
However, teleportation was so coveted that it affirmed an action that had only drawbacks.
It may not be possible to travel around the world at will like a jumper, but it is still teleportation.
The ability to jump over distances with enough mana.
With that alone, my radius of action will be greatly increased, and the time it will take to return Ines and Sara to normal will be greatly shortened.
Is that all?
Anything can create an alibi, and local plans can be expanded globally.
The collection of materials and offerings is also simplified.
I could name any number of other advantages.
That’s why there was a feeling of impersonating number 12 among the Astra Numbers until now.
That said, I didn’t want to take the risk.
In that case, wouldn’t it be enough to have someone else to take the risk?
I heard that your birthday is also nearby, so it would be nice to think of it as giving you a birthday present.
The name of the gift is…
‘Protagonist Enhancement Event.’
I think it’s good enough.

Chun Yuseong sat on her bench, clutching the phone with both hands and staring at her for several minutes, nervously trembling one leg.
The reason was none other than yesterday’s incident.
‘Yoo Seong-ah, do you have time on the weekend?’
It was around the time I returned from training until I collapsed from exhaustion to erase the terrible memories I had seen last weekend.
Marie came over and said she had something to ask for advice and asked if she could go out with me on the weekend.
That means asking for a date.
Of course, Marie said that there was no such thing as a date, just asking for advice.
Even if it wasn’t so, it was enough to make it a date.
After thinking, Yuseong Cheon immediately nodded and succeeded in making an appointment.
“Did you wait?”
How did you soothe your nervousness like that?
A familiar voice quietly reached my ears.
Chun Yuseong lifted her head and looked at the place where her voice came from.
“Oh no, I just got here too.”
A fair-skinned blonde green-eyed woman came into view, wearing slacks, a linen shirt and a small eco-bag.
It was Marie.
She came out wearing makeup so simple that you wouldn’t even know she was wearing makeup unless you observed her closely for a long time, but despite this, among the lovers passing by on the street, men couldn’t help but glance at her, even though she had a lover next to her. He glanced at him and only pinched his side.
“Really? Thank god.”
She smiled broadly.
My heart was beating furiously.
From noble mtl dot com
The feeling of a thousand flowers in full bloom in an instant.
Chun Yoo-seong stared at him blankly, but soon came to his senses and cleared his throat and stood up.
“Then shall we go?”
“Yes.”
The dating hasn’t started yet.
‘I’ll show you the perfect plan.’
So Marie can forget him.
So that you can forget the memories of that day.
‘Let’s do our best.’
Cheon Yuseong clenched her fists and made a promise.
**
“How about this?”
Marie held out a pair of small rings.
Chun Yuseong stared blankly at it.
“Yoo Seong-ah?”
Mari tilted her head as if wondering if Yuseong’s behavior was strange.
“Ah, ah, that’s what I mean. Huh. Okay, you look okay?”
Then, as if she had come to her senses, Cheon Yuseong nodded her head.
Then she immediately regretted it.
‘If I’d known this was…’
I wouldn’t have come.
She didn’t even listen and nodded her head.
“I wonder if Seonghyun will like it. Lol…”
Lee Seong-Hyun I never thought he wanted to get advice from himself as a man to make a present for his son.
Chun Yoo-seong sighed and choked.
“Give me this.”
“Excellent choice.”
Chun Yoo-seong could do nothing but watch Mari buy a present for Lee Seong-hyeon.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes…”
And when I left the store, the sunset light was shining down on the street, and people on the street were hurrying to find their nest.
The end of the day was approaching.
All I could do now was follow her down the street back to the academy dormitory, and that wasn’t long.
‘…What’s the perfect date plan?’
All I did after meeting Marie was wander around the gift shop for over half a day.
I couldn’t even hold her hand while pretending to watch a movie at the cinema, and I couldn’t even laugh hahahaha hoho while having a leisurely conversation at the restaurant.
‘That guy…’
I also watched a movie with Marie.
I stopped by the restaurant.
We talked on the street.
Of course, the above is possible between friends, and if you think that this time you are not here for a date, you can somehow look away.
‘…’
She was also seen stopping by motels.
Of course, I don’t think she would have done such a thing with a guy who hasn’t been around for a long time since she met Marie, but the anxiety didn’t go away.
Maybe.
Will it become true?
Anxiety heated up my brain, and the fortress was on the verge of insomnia.
‘Why can’t I?’
She spends more time with herself than with him.
Until that guy showed up, she went through a lot of things together and overcame it.
But why…?
‘At that time…’
If she hadn’t made a mistake, the spot would be…
No.
Despite all that, Marie chose him as her partner.
So what’s the problem?
‘Because I lost?’
That was the only thing that came to mind.
People with mana abilities are attracted to the strong.
Women like strong men.
Everyone prefers a person who wins over a person who loses…
“Yoo Seong-ah?”
“Ugh!!”
Chun Yoo-seong was startled by Marie’s protruding face and took a step back from her.
“Sorry.”
“No, no. I’m just surprised that she’s been blind for a while.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Why than that?”
“Ah… That… Thanks for hanging out today. Thanks to you, I think I prepared a nice present.”
Marie smiled broadly.
Now I don’t know the meaning of that smile.
“I’m glad.”
Chun Youseong muttered weakly.
“So should I call it a reward?”
Marie held out a small box in her arms.
“This?”
Cheon Yuseong asked as she held her box.
“Open it.”
And following Mari’s words, I opened the box and saw a small bracelet.
“A magic tool that is useful for training. I heard that you are training hard these days, so I prepared it, but how is it…?”
“…”
“Ah… don’t you like it?”
“No. Thank you so much, I will treasure it.”
“Thank God.”
Marie smiled as if she was happy with that.
My heart was beating beyond measure.
Even when I try not to look at her, her eyes go naturally and when she smiles, it makes her smile.
‘As expected…’
I can’t give up.
What does it matter what happened to him?
If you like it, you like it. Why is that a reason to give up?
You said?
What do you mean by losing twice?
Then you just have to win 3 times.
Can you beat him?
It’s enough to work hard until you win.
‘Yes.’
Chun Youseong took a deep breath.
“Marie, I have something to tell you.”
This is a declaration of war.
Declaration of war to not just watch.
“What is it?”
Chun Yuseong looked straight at her Marie.
Chun Yoo-seong reflected in Marie’s eyes.
“Okay—.”
At that moment, my vision turned black.
