157 – Impregnable
“Is there something interesting happening that everyone is gathered around there?”
“……..”
“Huh?”
Rumia, who was walking with her light steps behind her, soon tilted her head and a question mark appeared on her face.
“Where did you appear again?”
“…………”
“It’s been a while since I saw you? I think I said I would see you often…”
She then looks at her dice and tells her story with an interesting expression.
“Anyway, it’s surprising. It seems like he definitely wasn’t popular… I guess it’s just my mood. hahahaha…”
“…Hey.”
“Ah, Kang Haneul!”
Then she finally discovers Kang Haneul holding her Dice and runs towards him with her eyes shining.
“You were worried, weren’t you? I was suddenly taken somewhere, and I thought I’d never see you again… Ugh.”
Soon, Kang Haneul shows a wary expression, pushing away her face with his hand as she tries to hug him.
“Why are you suddenly speaking informally?”
“……Ah.”
Rumia blinked her eyes for a moment, then opened her mouth with a bright smile.
“Now that I think about it, does it seem like the relationship between me and my senior is so bleak?”
“……..”
“So, I took this opportunity to speak informally to build friendliness. From my personal perspective, I think this is also a good thing…”
“Hey.”
The river Haneul raises her head with a cold expression on her face.
“I’m sorry, but I have absolutely no desire to build a friendly relationship with you.”
“……”
“Do you know that I’m still suppressing the murderous impulse that comes from deep inside my heart every time I see your face?”
At that creepy voice, Lumia, who was smiling brightly, quietly sheds her laughter.
“…Yes, that’s right.”
“…………”
“I was wrong, senior. Please forgive me.”
Soon, she muttered in a low voice.
“…You’d better be careful.”
“Ah, so f*cking s*xy…”
“…………”
“Yeah, I fell in love with that…”
Whether or not she heard the warning from the river sky, she turns her steps, muttering in her low voice.
And then the silence began.
＞ Kang Haneul!!!!!
In that silence, a voice that is clearly a mechanical sound but seems to be filled with emotion begins to echo everywhere.
– Dododo…
“Pandora.”
Kang Ha-neul turned her head to the side at that voice, then smiled and put down the dice she was holding in her arms.
– Come on…
The next moment, Pandora, who jumped into Kang Ha-neul’s arms and was hugged, cried and buried her head in his chest.
“aaa…”
“Huh?”
“…Ah.”
Then she sheds tears and mutters something, and when her river Haneul quietly tilts her head, she blushes and takes out her smart phone from her pocket.
＞ I thought I would never see you again.
“…….”
＞ I love you.
Eventually, she wrote down her text faster than ever, shyly held it out to her river Haneul, and buried her head in her chest again.
“hahahaha…”
Kang Ha-neul smiles at that and begins to rub her back.
“Uh, how…”
“……?”
“How did you come back…?”
Then, he lowers his gaze when he hears a voice that seems possessed by a ghost coming from right in front of him.
“Well, there… There wasn’t a single one of my colleagues who came back alive…”
“…So, you were hoping it wouldn’t come back?”
“Go, is that Kang Ha-neul?”
“Of course it’s me.”
Eventually, she looked slightly suspicious, and began to ask questions while examining various parts of Kang Haneul’s body.
“What is my real hero’s name?”
“Mystic Shine.”
“What is your favorite food and what is your least favorite food?”
“The bulgogi I made and the cheonggukjang stew I made.”
“How many times have I fought with you?”
“Episode 267. If you include the non-official matches, I think it will be twice that number…”
She was looking at him with a calm expression as he answered her own answer, but suddenly her face blushed and she lowered her head and asked her question.
“How many dots do I have on my chest?”
“What are you talking about? Your chest is full of scars and moles…”
Kang Ha-neul, who was answering as if she was asking something, closed her mouth with an expression of regret.
“”…………””
But the cold silence has already begun to flow around.
＞ How does Kang Ha-neul know that…?
“…Mr. Kang Ha-neul?”
Pandora, who was in her arms, and Ariel, who was blankly watching the situation from a distance, began to ask questions while giving off a cold chill.
“No, it’s nothing. It was a mistake. It was my house to begin with, but I went into the bathroom without saying anything…”
＞ Did you live together?
“Did you live together and share a bathroom?”
“……..”
Kang Ha-neul felt like the more he spoke, the more he was sinking into a quagmire, so he eventually gave up on explaining and kept his mouth shut.
“…I’ll ask you one last question.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Mystic Shine’s trembling voice quietly resonates in the silence that has begun to flow again.
“My…What’s my name?”
“…….”
“Not the hero name, but the real name.”
After hearing those words, Kang Haneul looked at her surroundings for a moment and then sighed and answered.
“…Hina.”
“Seo, what’s your last name?”
“You don’t have a last name, you.”
And the next moment.
– Come on…!
＞ !?!!?!?
Mystic Shine jumps up from her seat and hugs the river sky with Pandora in her arms.
“Really… It’s you…..”
＞ You, you! Quit!! Suffocating!!!
“I thought he died because of me…f*ck….”
Pandora, who was buried between her and her river Sky, began to wriggle around her body and urgently chat, but Mystic Shine, whose tears began to flow from her eyes, paid no attention to her.
“I’m sorry… I was wrong…”
＞ Am I going to die like this…?
“No, I understand. Let’s move away for now, okay?”
In the end, Mystic Shine came to her senses as her river sky, which was inferior to her, slightly pushed her back, and then her face blushed and she quietly lowered her head.
“…I’m truly sorry. About what happened earlier.”
“That matter is done, let’s just pass it on.”
Seeing her, uncharacteristically stained with guilt, her river Haneul quietly scratches her head and opens her mouth.
“We are friends.”
“…Ah.”
When he said that and stretched out her hand, Mystic Shine was speechless for a moment and had a blank expression on her face.
“Yeah, yeah… We’re friends…”
“…………”
“Friend… Yes, I was a friend… Yes, yes.”
She murmured in a crawling voice and looked at her river sky with her hints, but he just tilted her head.
“Why do you emphasize something so obvious?”
“……It’s nothing.”
She had a slightly resigned expression on her face, and quietly held the hand of her river Haneul.
“As expected, I should have said it sooner….”
“Huh?”
She stares intently at Pandora, who is still held in the arms of her river Sky, and mutters in an inaudible voice.
“…..Hmph.”
She quietly receives those gazes, then frowns and puts her arms around the neck of her river Sky.
“……..”
– Rattling…
“What, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
When she receives Mystic Shine’s creepy gaze, she gets scared and begins to bury her head in the chest of her river Sky again.
“No, hey. If you scare the kid…”
Only then did she notice the creepy look in her Mystic Shine’s eyes, and her river sky frowned slightly and tried to scold her.
“Shh.”
But as she quietly shook her head and began to look behind herself, breaking into a cold sweat, her nerves began to sharpen at that moment.
“Oh, I feel a tremendous energy from somewhere…”
“…Hmm.”
“Wow, this is such a crazy development.”
And it was the same for Ariel and Dice, who were staring at Pandora with dark eyes, and Lumia, who had a bright expression.
– Turp, trudge…
From a distance, someone with a familiar shape shrouded in shadows was walking towards them.
– Arddeuddeuddeuk…
“That guy…”
Soon, the sound of teeth grinding simultaneously escaped from the mouths of Kang Ha-neul and Mystic Shine.
– Clap, clap, clap…
The sound of applause began to echo through the ruined streets.
“””…………!”””
The expressions of Kang Ha-neul and his group, who were drawn to the applause and fixed their gaze, all turned into embarrassment, except for Rumia, who always had a bright smile on her face.
“I never thought you would face such an ideal development.”
“You…!”
“According to my plan, more than half of them should have been wandering the nether by now. After all, I am also a very incompetent human being…”
The concept of humility, whose face was half revealed in the shadows, showed a polite demeanor and began to talk to them.
“…Well, the good news is that the plan didn’t go completely wrong.”
“hehehehe…”
The concept of death, floating in the air with its neck held by a black hand extending from the shadows, was struggling wildly next to him.
.
.
.
.
.
“Damn, I wondered where he went…”
“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh…”
“You’re too harsh…!”
Only then did she realize that the concept of her death had disappeared from nowhere, and among the Kang Haneul group, Ariel, who was usually wary of her, began to raise her voice and shout.
“Give her away now!”
“Ah, it’s okay. This child is death itself, so even if you put it in a blender and grind it, it will come back to life.”
Then, the concept of humility begins to quietly stare at Ariel and whisper in a polite voice.
“Unlike your sister who fell down…”
“…What?”
“I wanted to cut them alive if possible. That would increase the mystique of the equipment…”
When he suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and began to reveal her true colors, Ariel’s expression froze.
“Well, some really great equipment was produced from the parts of the stolen corpses. It’s a shame, but I have no choice but to be satisfied…”
“You bastard!!!!!!!!!”
“…hahahaha.”
When she started to cover her body with red sparks due to his continued provocation, the concept of humility shed a low laugh.
“Both my sister and my younger brother are equally vulnerable to provocation.”
– Sigh…
“Yes, I used you as bait that day. Kang Ha-neul…”
He stretched out his hand and smiled at Kang Ha-neul, who had approached behind him and was making a scary expression.
“You are someone who can create a gap in the strongest hero who was not swayed by any temptation, so you are…”
That smile didn’t last long.
– It’s so bad…!!!
“……..!?”
This was because when Kang Ha-neul’s fist, covered in light blue sparks, stretched forward, it exploded and flew into his face.
[Skill: Strike (LV MAX) was used.]
“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time….”
Just before the fist touched his face, Kang Haneul muttered in a low voice as he looked at the message that appeared before his eyes.
[Penalty: Sadness that reminds us of the lost.]
“…You talk too much.”
The next moment, a light blue flash filled the alley behind him.
