348 – [6] Espir Vlasova
#348
* * *
Time passed quickly after sunrise.
When I came to my senses, a new year was dawning.
“Oh, you’re in second grade now?”
“Oh my. “I’m already old and sick, but I’m going to get even older and sicker.”
Complaining like a 21-year-old (old and sick).
But no matter how hard it was, time just went by.
I acted as planned.
“Have a nice vacation!”
“Happy vacation to you too, Shannon!”
“Yes~!”
“Hmm, if anything happens in the future, please contact me through SNS. Then I will find it right away.”
“I will take care of the contact. Do you have to work hard at the gym even without me? If you get belly fat after vacation…… Know?”
“…… Ah, I understand.”
The two men and women who left after sending the rest of the people away.
Cheonma-ri and I headed to California in the western United States to find the author of the report.
Shooaaaaa─
As soon as I got off the plane and left the airport, it was raining endlessly.
Is this Puerto Rico? Why does it feel so familiar?
“It’s January and it’s raining a lot?”
“It rains in Los Angeles around December, and as it gets closer to July, there is less rain.”
“Aha.”
“Of course, there will be a lot of rain due to the abnormal weather.”
A thousand answers said yes.
The place we have currently arrived is Los Angeles.
It was the largest hunter base in the western United States.
Cheonma-ri looked at the sky and the city and nodded her head as if she was familiar with it.
“After going over there. If you go west, there is a restaurant. “There’s a good restaurant over there too.”
“Huh? Have you been here before?”
“Nartica’s western U.S. Branch is located here. So I used to come often.”
“Aha… ….”
“Of course, there was a guild I hated in the southwest, so I visited it often.”
“…… “Cancon what guild?”
“Correct answer.”
A guild whose representative son’s back was bent like a bow.
In fact, the guild members below were so fine that there was no need to bend their backs like bows.
It seemed like the headquarters of such a strange guild was located here.
I wasn’t particularly interested.
Well, I didn’t come to retaliate right away anyway, and I didn’t properly prepare for the purpose of retaliation.
That was when I took out my umbrella and flipped it over.
I heard someone running urgently from behind.
“Hey, guys! “Take your sister with you!”
A professor from the Ice School and an acquaintance of mine, dragging two suitcases with difficulty.
Na Su-a and Su-a’s older sister came to me, sweating heavily.
“Whoa, whoa…” … Well, I still came with you. “What if I leave my sister behind?”
“No, Su-ah. That’s what I said. “There’s no need to take care of too much, and there’s no need to take care of things you won’t use.”
“But you don’t know what’s going on in the world. “Even if it’s hard now, you might still have something to use later—”
A third party with no connection whatsoever.
I wonder why Su-ah is here, but in fact, this was an unavoidable measure.
“What does this have to do with protecting me?” ….”
“Oh, this is what your grandmother asked me to do. He said that he was the one who would inherit the family, so he asked me to take good care of him so that nothing bad happens overseas. “How could my sister come lightly?”
The price of not going home on Christmas or New Year’s Day.
She said she had been to California, so a high-ranking person in the family asked Su-ah to tag along.
Of course, I protested and told them not to worry.
It’s not a sunfish that dies if I hit it.
– “There are a thousand of them, so don’t worry too much.”
– “A thousand? “Isn’t he the child you have to protect, not the child who will protect you?”
However, they seemed to have somewhat misunderstood my relationship with Cheonma-ri.
I seemed to view this habitual assaulter as something much softer and more polite than I was.
It makes you wonder when Cheonma-ri started creating images like that.
It was absurd.
But even though it was absurd, the story of the family was a story.
Because refusal was impossible, the trip for two people changed into a trip for three people.
“Miss! Please wait for a moment!”
“Lady Marie!”
“Chief Hunter Kang Xian!”
No, actually, it wasn’t a trip of 2 or 3 people in the first place.
Because Cheonma-ri’s grandfather had attached people to Cheonma-ri for a similar reason.
– “Mari, where on earth are you going on New Year’s Day instead of being with your family?”
– “Ah, grandpa. I have some personal matters to attend to. So that’s how it happened.”
– “We’re not going to a dangerous place, are we? “Marie, right?”
– “Just a quick stopover in California. “It’s not something worth dying for, so you don’t have to worry.”
Actually, this was also Cheonma-ri’s fault for not being able to explain properly.
Is there anyone in the world who says it’s not something worth dying for, just to reassure you?
That’s how the thousand attendants followed along.
And now they came running this way, forming a crowd.
“Oh, crazy.”
“Marie, when we meet graduate students. “How do you think he will react if I take your employees away?”
“Wouldn’t you think you were mistakenly captured by an organized gang?”
Maybe they will close the door as soon as they see us.
That was something that should never have happened.
“…… “Why don’t you leave your entourage alone?”
“I guess that would be etiquette.”
“By the way, Sian, it’s Mari. You two keep whispering. “What on earth are you talking about?”
Soo-ah’s sister suddenly popped out.
She looked at the two of us.
“Oh, it’s no big deal.”
“Aren’t you planning on going somewhere together, leaving this sister alone?”
“No. To begin with, Su-a is a professor, right? Since she is going to meet a graduate student, she will definitely be moving with us.”
Actually, that’s why I didn’t want to take him.
The other person was a former graduate student (slave), and Nasua was a current professor (master).
* * *
As an inevitable reality, most of the entourage was confined to the hotel.
Secretary Cheonma-ri, who had a heavy mouth, was the only companion among the entourage.
A former graduate student who wrote a report on such a mysterious potion.
Four shadows fell on Espir Vlasova’s house.
We stood in front of a suitably small house.
After noticing this, I rang the bell next to the front door a few times.
“Yes~ Let’s go~!”
A crunching sound was heard and the door slowly opened.
And then the woman with messy brown hair stuck out her head.
“Eh?”
“Are you Espir Vlasova?”
“That’s right…… Deyo? Is there anyone… ….”
“This is the person I inquired about on social media last time. “Do you have time?”
“… ….”
Knock, boom.
The door was closed again.
Wait a minute, we’re not strange people.
“Over there?”
“Sleep, please wait a moment! I’m not ready yet…… !”
It was because I wasn’t ready yet.
Just looking at his face, it looks like he wasn’t even dressed properly.
I could wait for this much.
But, why?
– Uddangtang! Thud!
– “Ugh!”
The sound of something rolling, tipping over, or collapsing was heard from inside.
There is no need to prepare in such a hurry.
I waited for a few minutes, scratching her head.
I heard the word “Leave” A few times, and then the door opened wide.
“I forgot I was visiting today. “I’m sorry if you’ve waited a long time.”
“No, that could be true. “Can I come in first?”
“That…… It’s a bit difficult to talk at home right now…… “Can we talk outside?”
Can’t talk at home?
Why?
I glanced at the scene over my shoulder.
And even with only a glimpse, I was able to see the inside of the house in disarray.
He seemed to have the habit of being faithful to his duties as a scholar.
It seems like he wasn’t a graduate student for no reason.
“There are some things that are sensitive to talk about openly…… Wow, what should I do if this happens…….”
“Isn’t there a cafe around here that has unusually few visitors? “If it’s there, even if it’s a sensitive issue, it’ll be okay.”
She gestures as if she knows well.
In the end, she headed to a leisurely cafe nearby.
We headed to the group room installed in a corner of the cafe.
Among them, a thousand secretaries remained outside the grooming room at our request to keep watch.
Four men and women in an awkward atmosphere.
The moment everyone was about to sit down, Cheonma-ri, who was sitting in the corner and was one room away from me, rolled her eyes here and there.
And her next to her own.
She stretched out her hand towards her sister Su-a.
“Soo-ah, I think we’re going to have an important business conversation…… “Can you please leave for a moment?”
“Huh? “Something important?”
Soo-ah is embarrassed by hearing this story for the first time.
Eventually, she gave me a look as if asking if I had something really important to say.
“No, what…… It’s an important story…….”
“I think some of our company’s confidential information will be leaked. “I would appreciate your understanding, sister.”
This isn’t a request, it’s just a matter of kicking you out.
There was even no politeness on his face.
Evil dreaming of a scheme.
This was the expression Cheonma-ri showed when she had a shameless and evil mind.
“Well, then what…” … “I’ll stay outside.”
“Hehe, it won’t be that long. “You are having coffee with my secretary.”
“…… Okay.”

Soo-a’s sister’s expression was somewhat displeased.
But since there was no reason to stay, the door closed coldly.
“Sit next to Kang Si~!”
Cheonma-ri smiled brightly and sat next to me.
She clung close to me and dragged me by his arm towards her.
Her arms dug into her violent chest.
Her behavior was something that she wouldn’t normally display, and I looked at her to see that she was acting strangely.
“Hey, a thousand birds. “Talking about company secrets wasn’t part of the discussion.”
“There was none. But when I thought about it, it seemed like I would talk about it in the middle of the conversation? That’s why Sua sent her older sister away~”
“No matter how confidential it is, it is true. Did you even need to send her out?”
“Because company secrets are confidential, it would be a pain if they were leaked out.”
Answering with a sly look.
Anyway, talking about confidential information seemed like a lie.
“Then what about me? “I’m actually an outsider. Are you saying I can listen to your company’s secrets?”
“Hey, we’re close friends. And I’m confident you won’t leak any confidential information.”
“…… Okay? Well, we’ll be talking in Korean anyway. “Can you just tell me briefly what is confidential?”
“Uh…… ? That’s it. The company secret I’m about to tell you about…… Hmm…… What should I say…… That… ….”
“Ugh.”
Well, that’s right.
When I stared at him, he gently avoided my gaze.
It looks like he wanted to play a prank while sitting next to me.
If he had sat next to me from the beginning, he would have played pranks regardless of whether Su-a was there or not.
A childhood friend of an immature regressor.
I sighed heavily and opened the door as well.
“Let’s discuss confidential matters later, when I’m not around. Could you please leave for a moment? “I also have my own secrets.”
“Det.”
It was a similar justification to the one he gave for kicking out Su-ah.
A thousand horses were driven out like that.
Just before leaving, I thought, ‘This isn’t right. There was a glimpse of his expression, ‘What should I do, Jojo?’
Anyway, the door was firmly closed.
Cheonma-ri wiped his face repeatedly and turned to the two people who were drinking coffee.
– “Huh? Is it Marie? “Why did you come out?”
– “Sua unnie!!! The jiangshi kicked me out…… !!!”
Ueng Suaemon.
It was a pure intention like friendship, but there was no child who did something clearly wrong and felt resentful at being scolded.
“He too…… This time, he sticks to the person he sent away.”
Soo-ah, who is like an angel, is accepting it with great enthusiasm.
There were no mavericks in Jaeseungjabak.
“Ugh…… Anyway, now it’s just the two of us left.”
“Yes? Ah, yes… ….”
In the quiet atmosphere, I took out a potion and a report from my bag.
Then he handed them all over to Vlasova, the owner of these items.
“This…” ….”
“This is what I said on social media. “Do you remember?”
An item that has never been seen before in games.
The report said there were 2 bottles, but only 1 bottle was found in the basement.
It was time to uncover the secrets of the mysterious superpower potion.
