Episode 170
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ was currently pushing the push pin.
However, her pushing was very strange.
‘Becca Ria’ looked at it and tilted her head.
“..Have you never tried it?”
‘Beccaria’ said.
“…Is that possible?”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said.
However, her pushing was very strange.
There were still stains where she had once written.
“Wait a minute, give it to me.”
I took off her pushing pin.
Then he pushed the pushing pole toward the front.
Then, unlike before, the stains on the floor disappeared.
“Push with such force.”
‘Beccaria’ pushed the pushing stick forward.
“When I pull back like this, it feels like I’m removing a stain that wasn’t removed yet.”
‘Beccaria’ said, pulling back the push stick.
“Do you know what I mean?”
“…Umm.. Yes.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ spoke in a low voice, as if he was crawling into a rat hole.
“Then, let’s give it a try.”
“..I understand.”
She grabbed the rolling pin.
This time, unlike before, his expression was quite solemn.
She held the rolling pin tightly.
Then this time, as I said, he pushed the push stick forward with a lot of force.
“…Oh”
She let out a small gasp.
If you did as I said, a significant portion of the stain there was removed.
Sweet-
This time, I pulled the push bar back.
Then all the stains on the floor were removed.
“…Oh.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ looked at the floor in wonder.
“…This is more fun than I thought.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ smiled slightly.
Sweet-
Sweet-
Then, without any coaching from me, he started sweeping the floor on his own.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
I think it’s more fun than I thought.
“…What is on my face?”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ looked around and said.
Kim Na-yoon, Beccaria, Jeong Ha-yeon, Radeon You and I were watching ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ with a curious expression as she was pushing without anything to do.
“No. No matter how I look at it, it’s a picture that doesn’t really suit me hahahaha-“
‘Beccaria’ said with a grin.
“…Do you all really think that way?”
“To be honest, I think so too.”
‘Radeon’ also said with a smile.
“To be honest… I am too… “
‘Kim Na-yoon’ also said.
“Anyway, we have a lot to do, so we need to finish it quickly and move on to the next room. “Let’s finish it quickly.”
I said.
“Okay.”
The group began to continue cleaning the warehouse.
Squeak-
However, after a while, a sound like flooring being broken was heard.
“Hey. “Relax a little and do it.”
I spoke to ‘Beccaria’.
“Why are you saying sh*t to people who are working hard?”
“No, I think the floor will break. “Look at that.”
I said, pointing to the floor.
There were fine cracks on the floor.
“It’s not like that because you push and pull the pusher too hard. “Please control your strength a little.”
‘Becca Ria’ looked at it and quickly nodded her head.
“…Okay.”
He’s someone who doesn’t usually admit it, but this time he admits it.
It was amazing.
The cleaning is already over.
The warehouse is much cleaner than before.
“Thank you all for your hard work. “Let’s get together now.”
‘I said.
“It’s a lot harder than I thought.”
‘Kim Na-yoon’ said, wiping away the sweat that had formed.
“I don’t want to do it again. “Something like this.”
‘Becca Ria’ clicked her tongue and said.
“It’s really bad that you have to control your strength. “If you push the circle just a little too hard, the floor will break, so tsk.”
Sweet-
Sweet-
Everyone in the group gathered together, but the sound of a rolling pin continuing to be wiped came from somewhere.
All the party members looked towards that place.
There, ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ was pushing alone.
That too, not with his usual expression, but with a slightly smiling expression.
“Hey Ji-yoon..”
I said.
“…Yes?”
“Now that we’ve finished cleaning, we have to plant the bomb.”
“…Already?”
“Yes. So, give me the rolling pin.”
“..”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ looked at the rolling pin without saying a word.
“..Um.. I understand.”
She held a rolling pin and handed it to me.
Nevertheless, his gaze continued to be directed at the pushing pole.
And then his mouth slightly protruded slightly.
I guess it’s a bit of a shame that I can’t do more pushing.
“So, from now on it’s real, can you see this?”
I pointed to the C4 bomb I took out of my bag.
“Uh. See.”
“Just put this in the bag over there.”
“Putting it in a sack?”
‘Beccaria’ said.
“Uh.”
“Why?”
“Why are you asking me to put it in a sack? “Wouldn’t it be better to just install it on the floor or wall?”
“Whoa-“
I sighed deeply.
“Do you install it on the floor or wall knowing when the other person will come? “No, isn’t that more obvious than that?”
I said, pointing at the bomb.
From Noble mtl dot com
It was said that it was made small to avoid detection, but it stood out so much from the brown color of the floor that it was recognizable at a glance.
“That’s it..”
“Once you install it there, you will find out right away. So, we need to install it there.”
I said, pointing to the battery.
“When the enemy comes, the first thing they try to cut off is food. Okay?”
“…Well. I agree with that, but if they put a bomb in there, what will happen to our food? “We didn’t bring rice.”
“…Who put it in that sack?”
“Then?”
“We should take out all the rice in that bag and put it somewhere else.”
“Are you stupid?”
‘Becca Ria’ clicked her tongue and said.
“Then, the other person will notice right away. I would definitely open it and take it with me. No, the tactile sensation itself is different in the first place, but would you be fooled by that?”
“So, I thought of one thing.”
“What is it? Say it.”
“The opponent will unconditionally open the top of the battery. So, the top part is filled with normal white rice. “Just a little bit.”
“…And then?”
“The middle and bottom parts above and below are filled with that.”
I said, pointing to the rotten rice in one corner.
It looked like it could no longer be eaten because there was mold growing there.
“The feel will be similar, and of course the weight will be similar. If you fill it with that, you can deal a big blow to your opponent while minimizing damage.”
“Oh.. Bastard, what’s going on? “Do you know how to use your brain?”
‘Beccaria’ said as he put his arm around me.
“Anyway, you know what I mean, right? So, let’s put the real rice removed from there here.”
I said, pointing to my bag.
“There will be enough rice in my bag. Now. “Let’s do it quickly and get it over with.”
“Okay. After all, it’s Doyun?”
‘Radeon’ also said with a grin.
“…”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ looked at me like this was amusing.
“Okay. “Then shall we go set up a trap in the next room?”
I said.
I went to the next room and finished setting up the traps without any problems.
“It’s all over now.”
I said.
“Let’s go quickly and rest. “I’m really tired.”
“Beccaria” Said, turning her stiff neck.
“Ah. I’m really tired too. Let’s go quickly and rest. “More than that.”
‘Kim Na-yoon’ glanced at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
“Isn’t there something strange about Hayeon from earlier?”
“…What’s strange?”
‘Beccaria’ said.
“No. “You haven’t said anything since a while ago, and you look like someone who is worried about something.”
“…Is that so?”
‘Beccaria’ looked at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
“Uh.. I guess so?”
Even the insensitive ‘Beccaria’ agreed with that opinion.
I also looked at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
At first glance, it looks the same as usual.
However, if you look closely, you will notice many differences from usual.
Eyes that have lost their weapons, skin that has become dull somewhere…
“No way..”
I let out a sigh.
This is a symptom that occurs when death magic is applied and the lifespan is not long.
This is a symptom that appears less than 24 hours later.
I swallowed hard.
Then I looked at Jeong Ha-yeon.
Her appearance looks no different from usual.
That meant that the time of her death was soon.
It’s strange.
In the original work, she clearly does not die now.
At least she has to be alive until the demon gate opens…
“..You.”
I spoke to ‘Jeong Ha-yeon.’
“…Uh.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ spoke in a wistful, dying voice.
“No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look okay. Would you like to go to Seongju’s room and rest first?”
“…I understand.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ began to trudge along without any strength.
“What? Why is Hayeon doing that? “I know you slept well last night.”
‘Radeon’ said.
“So, I’m also strange. “I was really fine until yesterday, but suddenly today, I’m acting like I’m going to die at any moment.”
‘Kim Na-yoon’ said.
“…Do you have any guesses?”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said.
“….”
I didn’t say anything.
Jeong Ha-yeon will definitely die within 24 hours from now.
If this fact is found out, it is unlikely that her companions will remain sane.
“No. I’m not sure about this either. But, “
“…Yes.”
“Wouldn’t it be best to clear this ‘Red Gate’ as quickly as possible so that people can receive treatment at the hospital?”
“…”
“In order to do that, we must immediately focus on the fight against ‘Choi Won-ik’ and his aides.”
Everyone in the group nodded.
Everyone agreed that the best way for now was to clear the ‘Red Gate’ as quickly as possible.
There is a way.
If you kill the guy who cast the death spell, the curse on Jeong Ha-yeon will be lifted.
You absolutely have to kill that guy before the time given to Jeong Ha-yeon runs out.
