169 – Oppa
“Oh no, member 13.”
The moment Mageon and Raya were about to leave Moriyan’s office after finishing their report.
Moriyan summoned Margun.
“If, by any chance, there is something that Team 13 has been carrying around for a long time-“
“Yes?”
The past. The curse of the black magician and the devil has overtaken Moriyan’s family.
Moriyan and her little brother were poisoned by a curse.
Moriyan did everything possible to cast off the curse.
However, far from showing signs of improvement, the contamination progressed and the number of infected and contaminated areas increased.
Eventually, Mori Yen had to cut off her arms and legs with her own hands before her taint got over her thighs and her forearms.
What was her younger brother like?
The part of his body contaminated by the curse was his right chest.
Mori Yen sealed him within her barrier to prevent her brother’s curse from progressing.
A long time has passed since then.
Still, her younger brother was fighting pain and loneliness within the barrier.
Mori Yan did not give up on her brother.
She was still looking for a way to break his curse.
However, results that do not appear.
Moriyan needed a place to lean on.
Superstition.
Moriyan has collected holy relics imbued with divine power.
Further-She collected items that were said to have good fortune and divine energy.
Believing that the items will bring good luck to her brother, and heal his taint.
“Brilliant soul. Because your strong and holy power might be there.”
“…”
“Thank you. Squad 13.”
Mori Yen was a scholar and intellectual who acquired her knowledge by reading all kinds of esoteric and specialized literature in order to heal her sister’s curse.
Then she received the flint she carried to light her cigarette and created a happy smile in the world.
Mageon and Raya barely concealed their bitterness as they looked at the side of the great hero who achieved feats unmatched by anyone in the history of Paraden.

The atmosphere of Drin, who applied for Dalian to Ceylon, was unusual.
Her followers left one by one before the sparks flew.
“Suuya. From now on, all my brother will do with that woman is just a game to help each other. Never intervene And, you shouldn’t be hostile toward that person. Because that person is important to me. Got it?”
Ceylon repeatedly warned that Shi Wu might misunderstand her sparring and attack Din.
“My brother’s precious person… huh. Okay. A person who is important to you is a person who is important to me.”
Ceylon smiled at her father and stroked her hair.
“… “
Looking at it from a distance, Drin’s spirit became more ferocious.
“A game that helps each other, right?”
Sou tilted his head at the momentum of his skin standing upright.
“Ha ha ha… “
Ceylon smiled bitterly and went up to the clearing and faced Drin.
“Are you ready?”
“Be prepared… Dalian, wasn’t it?”
“… Are you ready?’
“Excuse me, but the amount I gave you. Are you angry?”
“Yes. I am angry.”
“Uh… What did I do wrong?”
“Yes. I was wrong.”
“Uh… What could I have done wrong?”
“Huh.”
Instead of answering, Drin pulled out her practice sword while avoiding her eyes.
“… “
“… “
“Sword. Pick it out!”
Looking at her attitude alone, there was nothing strange about Ceylon rushing in before drawing out her sword, but she was waiting patiently again.
“Heh heh.”
The embarrassment caused by the sudden sparring request was short-lived.
Ceylon’s face has become fun and ready to die.
“… “
Drin’s bloody spirit was lifted powerlessly at the sight of Ceylon.
At some point, she had a grumpy face.
“You always make new friends like that, and you show off to me.”
“Eh. Is there anything wrong with that?”
“… In fact, you don’t have any problems. But… That makes me anxious.”
“Yes?”
“Every time you make a new friend, every time you expand your relationship like that. I fear that the value you feel in your relationship with me will fade.”
Dean continued her speech as she looked down at her floor with her pouty face and no confidence.
“Honestly. For you right now, your relationship with me is just one of many relationships—isn’t it a good relationship?”
“What kind of shameful words… !”
“Isn’t that so?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Of course not! How precious is the relationship with the sheep you gave me!”
“… “
Drin looked at Ceylon with her grim face and said cautiously.
“Really?”
“No matter how many friends I make. The sheep I gave you is still with me, and you will be a precious friend who will be happy to be with you.”
“… “
Before long, a hearty smile spread across Drin’s face.
“I see.”
“Yes!”
-Eh.
-What is it?
-Is that the end?
If Miss Huivien had seen her in her romantic novels, she would have frowned at her like that.
-What are all these easy girls!?
He said.
“Hmm?”
At that time, Drin felt her gaze and looked at Suu.
“… “
“… “
A big doll and a small doll faced each other.
It was a large doll that opened its mouth first.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Drin of the Rebringer family. You are?”
“… Suu.”
After saying that, the little doll ran to Ceylon and clung to his arm.
“…”
Drin’s expression showed a complicated state of mind.
“There it is!”
– Whiing!
At that moment, a gust of cold air blew along with a harsh voice.
After arriving at the place, the eyes of Hwibien and Kasha were briefly heard by Ceylon, and then-
“…”
“…”
He glared fiercely at the little doll hanging from his arm.
“You!”
Hwibien was the first to speak.
“Get away from that sneaky man right now! It’s for you!”
“…”
Like a frightened child, the little doll only burrowed deeper into Ceylon’s arms.
“Iiik…!”
“Ha. It’s ridiculous.”
The two women’s expressions became bloody.
The dependent behavior of the little puppet felt like arrogance and fawning in front of Ceylon.
The so-called fox.
It was a taboo behavior in the world of women.
There was no shortage of being cornered as a common enemy.
“Everyone, I don’t know what’s going on, but calm down and-“
“You are missing!”
“Not too thin. Are you okay?”
What are these people like?
Ceylon hurriedly intervened, but that only irritated them.
“You! Looks like he’s not an academy cadet. How about the academy grounds? What happened to you again!?”
“…”
“Well, it’s a good thing. Today, he has a prior agreement with me, so I hope he will go away soon. If you know what morality is, that is.”
“…”
The more the two women’s expressions grew fiercer, the closer the little doll clung to Ceylon.
The closer the little doll clung to Ceylon, the more bloody the expression on the two women’s faces.
In the midst of such a vicious cycle.
The little doll finally opened her mouth.
“Brother… Who are those people…?”
What? Brother?
What brother?
“…”
Suddenly, the three women began to see the small doll clinging to Ceylon’s arm differently.
Not a sly fox trying to win favor with a man by flirting and arrogance in front of other women.
As a frightened weak kitten.
Her Ceylon behavior of stroking her hair as if to reassure her spurred such a change in perception.
“Those are my brother’s friends.”
“My brother’s friends? But why do they hate me?”
“Uh…”
Ceylon carefully watched them.
“Do you hate…?”
Brother?
No way?
They looked like they were on fire.
“Poss, psis, I don’t hate it, little girl~? It was just a brief misunderstanding~?”
Huvien hurriedly gave her sister a friendly smile.
“…”
Her sister averted her gaze as she burrowed into her brother’s arms.
Koo Goong!
It was as if a bolt of lightning fell on Huivien’s head.
“Lee, Lee has an appointment with her brother today… If it’s okay, would you like to go out together…? Her sister will buy her sister everything she likes.”
Kasha strained the muscles in her face, barely producing a harmless smile rather than her usual sneering sneer.
“…”
Her sister didn’t want to give up her brother, so she grabbed him by the sleeve.
Koo Goong!
A bolt of lightning seemed to fall on Kasha’s head.
The last one.
She, the only one who did not misunderstand, waved her hand very carefully to her sister, who was hiding behind Ceylon and glancing at herself.
“…”
Her sister reciprocated. She waved her hand slowly to Drin.
“Oh.”
A soft smile spread across Drin’s lips.
“Oh.”
“Oh.”
A hard shadow spread across Huivien and Kasha’s faces.
***
After the eventful first meeting.
Hwibien and Kasha really struggled to win back the feelings of their little sister who had been estranged.
After such hard work, she succeeded in overcoming her sister’s wariness, but-
– A little girl. Shall we hold hands with her sister?
Doridori.
Koo Goong!
-Hey, hey. Brother. Her sister’s hands are so cool. Look at this freezing water Aren’t you curious? Wanna catch one?
Doridori.
Koo Goong!
I had to taste deep frustration because I did not reach the achievements (holding hands) that Drin had achieved.
-Your sister? Aww!!! So cute! Oh my god!!! I don’t look like an idiot at all!!! It’s like a baby cat!
-Bauer Not laughing at jokes. Should I be happy about this? Should I be sad
As she wandered around campus like that, she met Ade Lynn and Miz.
-Um… Everything is good, but isn’t it a bit lacking in muscle?
-Melchen. Please don’t be crazy There’s nothing a girl can’t say.
-Lady Su. What a wonderful woman you look like her brother. If you’ll excuse me – aaah! Joke! It was a joke folks!!!
She met many other people and hung out with them.
Especially, three people with flirtatious personalities.
Drin. Aiden. Miz.
Spent a lot of time with three people who had [Alignment: Polar Line].
-… Is the story of the book I read. Why did that person make that choice there?
-Does Suu ask a lot of interesting questions?
-Contemplating the nature of human beings at that age… Suu is really precocious.
-I’ve been imagining that when I was that age, Bower became a big family and made all the people I ignored look back.
Just like that, in the evening, when we parted ways.
A spear rose before Ceylon’s eyes.
[Your actions affect the target’s disposition!]
[Target: Suu]
[Alignment: Neutral] ＞ [Alignment: Good]
[Achievement conditions achieved!]
[Achievement: Revealing the Dawn]
[Recruit 10 [[Alignment: Good] [7-Star talents] To the guild.]＞ Golem Su has joined the guild ‘True Harasin’.
[7/10]
It was a noisy and fulfilling Sunday in many ways.
And that night.
Ceylon, who had parted ways with his friends and sent Suu back to Professor Megan, left the academy grounds and headed to Arien.
For a courtesy plan-
It was to obtain clues to the artifact with the ability to clone itself.
‘It was here, maybe-‘
After walking for a long time, he arrived at the back alley of District 1.
Auction house where high-quality stolen goods are actively traded-
It was a place called the black market.
Ceylon guarded the entrance to the black market, watched the guards at the election district, and was contemplating how to enter the auction house.
“Hmm?”
At that time. Ceylon’s heightened senses heard a sound that could not be passed over.
It came from a room in the inn with his back to him.
Lagadielias.
Some woman said that.
Egonoerias.
A man answered that.
‘…’
Ceylon narrowed his eyes.
Ceylon couldn’t hold back his curiosity and entered the inn where the sound came from and stood in front of the room door.
Smart.
Ceylon knocked on the door.
-Looks like you’re here.
A voice came from beyond the door, and the door opened.
“…?”
It was a man with a shaggy beard.
He looked Ceylon up and down and said.
“What are you?”
Ceylon also said the same thing inwardly.
‘Who are you?’
Ceylon did not know their voices or their faces, which used a peculiar password.
He was the true leader of Harasin.
