240 – Meeting
Friends stopped with the city.
Maybe with the whole world.
Miz didn’t even know what kind of situation this was.
Right now, just stopping the falling cup is something that Miz’s common sense cannot understand, but the entire city has come to a standstill.
Nevertheless, if there was one thing that Miz could know for sure, it was that this situation was so serious that it could no longer exist.
“… “
Miz’s small hands were trembling slightly.
What happened to my friends?
What happened to my family?
What on earth happened?
She felt like she would fall into panic at any moment.
But he does his best not to show it.
If you show insecurity in this situation, the friendly Ceylon will most likely take care of you, and you will end up holding yourself back.
‘I don’t like that.’
Miz said she always wanted to give back to Ceylon what she had received.
However, as the true direct master of Harashin, he was an infinitely insignificant being in the grand world that he saw.
Can she be of meaningful help to him?
It was difficult.
Still, she didn’t want to give up.
You just have to do the best you can.
The best thing to do now was to maintain as much composure as possible in front of Ceylon and not hold him back.
Miz crossed her arms so that her Ceylon eyes wouldn’t see her own hands shaking.
“Oh my god. What is this? “Our girls have become the most beautiful statues in the world.”
As usual, he joked in a playful yet bold tone.
Miz’s efforts were not in vain.
“…”
As Ceylon knew, the number of beings capable of such things was extremely limited.
A great man.
Or the left arm in special cases.
But it would take a long time for the great person who tried to encroach on her own spirit and then disappeared, to be resurrected.
Cudalin and Fria were supposed to monitor the left arm until the upcoming meeting.
This is an unexpected situation even from Ceylon’s perspective.
His expression hardened as he realized the seriousness of the situation.
However, it is immediately softened by Miz’s insincere joke that follows.
Miz did her best to hide the fact that she was scared, but due to her situation, she was not able to hide Ceylon’s sense of embarrassment.

Although Ceylon wasn’t conscious of it, she could feel Miz’s heartbeat speeding up, her breathing becoming heavier, and her body starting to tremble slightly.
Miz was clearly embarrassed and scared.
“Fool, what should we do, ladies? I think we’ll be released from that state soon. Should we try doing what we’ve always wanted to do now?’
But to hide it, she acts a composure that borders on fuss.
I thought about Ceylon.
How would she feel if she were in Miz’s position?
Perhaps she felt like a child caught up in a war started by her adults?
‘To compare it to a game, this situation is a quest for old people, but Ms. Miz, who is still a newbie in terms of level, is involved.’
Despite this, Miz was acting so dignified.
The reason is probably because I don’t want to cause worry or inconvenience to myself.
It felt like she was coming to her senses.
As she hesitated in embarrassment, she felt pathetic.
Now was the time to do something.
Ceylon returned the same mischievous smile to Miz.
“Yes, I think you will be released from that state soon. Miss Miz. What are you going to do?”
There is no problem with them.
I can solve it well.
At Ceylon’s words with such meaning, Miz finally let out her sigh of relief and developed a truly playful attitude.
“Actually, I’ve always been curious.”
“What do you mean?”
“Lady Libringer, Lady Hanahan, Lady Leolian. Are those ladies’ cheeks soft…!?”
“It’s really a trivial question.”
Ceylon shed her half-hearted laughter and spoke with a serious face.
“Let’s check it right away.”

“Huh…?”
Drin looked around her with a blank expression on her face.
For a moment she was unconsciously bruised-
Maybe she felt like she was asleep.
Kasha, Aedrin, and Hwivien also showed the same reaction.
“Everyone, is there anything uncomfortable?”
Ceylon, standing nearby, asked about their condition.
“An uncomfortable place? Nothing in particular… Huh?”
The women who were talking were touching their cheeks.
Hot!
Hot!
Miz and Ceylon’s bodies trembled at the same time.
“It seems like there’s a slight discomfort in your cheeks…?”
“I’m glad there’s no problem.”
“Hey, do you feel something uncomfortable in your cheeks?”
Seylon gritted his teeth and ignored Huvien’s words, while also looking at the conditions of the others.
“…Everyone, could you please look over there for a moment?”
At that time, Drin pointed somewhere towards her with her finger.
Now they were on the streets of District 1.
Because of the time, most stores were closed and there were hardly any passers-by, but it wasn’t completely absent.
What Drin was pointing at were those few passers-by.
A dull face.
They were probably on their way home after having a drink, but they stopped just as they were chatting.
It’s like a painting.
“That’s…!”
The entire city stopped.
Maybe the whole world.
“What is this…?”
Cover her mouth.
“Hmm…”
Heavy sighing.
“What is this-‘
Gets irritated.
“I’m going to be thrilled.”
I burst out laughing.
They belatedly realized the situation and expressed their seriousness in different ways.
“…”
But soon her expression calmed and she looked at Ceylon.
Just like Miz did.
“Ceylon, is this also the work of the Black Root Church or Harasin?”
“Nine times out of ten, it will happen.”
“…”
When I heard the news that their invasion was over, I thought everything was over.
I thought the only thing left to do was to feel at ease.
I can’t believe such a huge incident is happening again.
Their expressions were pensive.
But that is only for a moment.
“Can we help Ceylon County?”
I don’t want to be this man’s burden.
I want to help this man.
They asked Ceylon with determination.
“hahahaha, how can I be this reassuring!”
“…What is that? Are you being sarcastic?”
That too.
In the eyes of the true Harashin’s direct master, they are nothing more than children.
Right now, if he puts his mind to it, he will be able to subdue them all within 10 seconds – no, 5 seconds.
Even though I knew that, I had the courage to say it.
They looked at Ceylon with sullen faces.
“You’re being sarcastic, how can that be possible?”
Ceylon was truly happy.
When he first arrived in Ceylon, he had no doubt that he would have to hide his identity for the rest of his life.
Since he is essentially a warlock and an assassin, he will not be able to form a deep relationship with anyone and will have no choice but to live satisfied with superficial, formal relationships.
But look at them now.
They were truly worried about themselves as a warlock and assassin, and even though they knew it would be dangerous, they were willing to endure it and wanted to help them.
To them, he was just Ceylon.
Not a powerful assassin, a warlock, or a secret society, but a friend.
“It may be new to you, but becoming friends with you is the greatest luck in my life.”
“Friend?”
Drin showed a mischievous smile that was uncharacteristic of her.
“…Keuhum.”
Ceylon cleared her throat awkwardly, and then she spoke to the girls with a bit of a playful tone.
“If it’s okay with you, could you give us a moment?”
“What? Are you asking me out on a date? “If that’s the case, it’s too bad.”
“It’s not just bad, it’s the worst. “You’re asking multiple women out at once.”
“hehehe, Ceylon-kun is greedy.”
“Really, Ceylon. If this happens, what happens to Miz, who was supposed to date Ceylon? Anyway. “It’s a lack of consideration.”
Where did you learn about Dodice?
That was when they excitedly teased Ceylon, thinking that this was the time.
“I’m fine. Rather good. “I wish it was like this on my dates too.”
A word that Miz blurted out.
Her eyes were focused on her.
“I am. “I hope we can continue to be together like we are now.”
“… “
In a way, it is infinitely pure.
But in a way, the women only looked at each other awkwardly at Miz’s extremely bold remarks.
***
“Ceylon County, is it really okay for us to accompany you? “Wouldn’t it be a hindrance to the Ceylon Army?”
I fully understand the concerns of our heroes.
Nevertheless, I eventually decided to act together with them.
The situation where our heroes were influenced by the power of negativity in front of me was enough to awaken my insensitivity to safety.
If, in this situation, we were separated from our heroes and a problem arose and the heroes got hurt because we were unable to resolve it in time, I would never be able to forgive myself.
More than anything.
“What a distraction. Rather, I have a feeling that you will provide me with decisive help.”
Is it because I already failed to completely remove ‘bun’ once and found the answer in Dawn Budae Jjigae?
I had a feeling that our heroes, the core ingredients of Dawn Budae Jjigae, would provide me with crucial help.
‘Anyway. ‘What on earth is this sh*tty situation?’
The power that has now swallowed up this world.
This was clearly the power of denial.
And the source of the power of negativity is ‘one’.
In other words, it is me.
But I don’t remember doing anything like this.
‘Could it be that something happened to the shell?’
The first thing I had to check now were two things.
First, go to the person’s residence and check to see what’s wrong with the shell.
Second, contact Fria and Cudalin and ask if they have any clues.
I returned to the academy with our heroes.
“Ugh… I’ve never seen the academy this quiet… It’s kind of eerie…”
An unprecedented silence fell on the academy, which had been consumed by the power of denial.
‘No way…’
Even if the cadets are the same, have instructor-level talents been devoured by the power of negativity and turned into living statues?
I prayed that my worries were wrong.
If the power of denial is that much, casualties would be occurring every second across the continent by now.
In that sense, it could be said to be fortunate.
“Ah, Ceylon County!!!”
A group of faculty and staff, including instructor Sinia, recognized us and greeted us.
‘Huh?’
No. For a moment.
When I looked closely, I saw that they were not teachers.
“Brother…?”
“Ah, little brother! When I wondered where you had gone, I found out that you were with our Ceylon friend. Huh. It’s been 10 years.”
Ledar breathes a sigh of relief upon discovering the sheep he gave away.
“Ceylon. Were you protecting Kasha? Thank you.”
“What are you doing to express gratitude?”
“…”
When Meloin discovers Kasha, he gives her a greeting that seems formal but contains a little emotion.
“Ceylon-gun, it may be a needless worry – are you and your friends all okay?”
And even Professor Elosis.
If we had to name that group, it was closer to the ‘true Harasin group’ than the ‘teacher group.’
Actually, it seemed like they came together based on that.
“What combination is that?”
On the other hand, our heroes, who did not yet know that they truly belonged to Harasin, expressed doubts.
Definitely.
If there was no common denominator, the true Harasin, they were different species that did not fit together even with empty words.
“Yes, we are all okay. Are you all okay too?”
“Anyway, this mysterious phenomenon doesn’t seem to have any effect on people with abilities like ours~”
I was reassured by Instructor Sinia’s words.
Although the situation was serious, it did not seem to be the worst.
Of course, that’s just based on my standards.
“By the way, number 348. What on earth is this situation?”
Instructor Sinia and other true Harasin members asked me with serious expressions.
The moment when, as the true leader of Harashin, I tried to give my own answer.
“Do you have any guesses about this situation?”
Instructor Sinia mentioned his right arm.
Is it because of the situation?
I thought it was something that was beyond my jurisdiction as a direct master.
So, I tried to convey what I understood about the current situation using the name of my alter ego, my right-hand man.
“Huh…?”
As I was checking the condition of the clone, I unconsciously made a stupid noise.
“Ceylon County? Any problem-“
I could not hear the surrounding sounds.
I was now completely distracted by the unexpected situation that happened to my alter ego.
‘Why is this guy here-‘
Left arm.
He appeared in front of my clone.
