86 – Sorry but that’s how it happened
Of course, of course, Yumina isn’t the only outstanding player in the Haeundae area.
There are many people who support Mina.
Among them, there are those who have particularly outstanding qualities.
It seems that they also played an active part in creating or protecting the village in their own way.
It is different from the rulers of organizations that I have seen so far.
Their relationship with Mina was more like a colleague than a subordinate.
And the characteristics of the group in which power was divided to some extent.
Reconciliation takes time.
“Even if it’s the leader’s blood relationship, it’s too sudden. It’s practically a privileged treatment.”
“Mmm.”
The words of a man wearing a suit that flows out mechanically.
Mina, who was sitting in her office, played with her bangs with a troubled smile.
We were also a little embarrassed at the conference table.
“The reason our village was able to be thoroughly managed was that the bonds and time we had built up over the years were recognized. But if you entrust an important task to those who suddenly appear, you will be dissatisfied.”
Apparently, the story about us spread faster than we thought.
At the same time, we will occupy an important position in the boss attack.
And from the man’s words, it seems that there are signs of dissatisfaction about this.
Mina pouted slightly and replied.
“It wasn’t that I handled things emotionally. It was a measure to minimize the damage to people.”
“Of course, we are trusting the leader’s judgment. But unfortunately, not these people.”
The man in the suit glanced at us as he spoke.
Actually, it’s not like we’re in a good mood because we were suddenly dragged in during a break.
But the reason why he stays still is because the other person is Mina, who is Hyena’s younger sister.
At the same time, what this man said was not entirely wrong.
‘Well, it wouldn’t be reliable if a human suddenly appeared and took on an important position.’
As I said, the rewards from the boss are pretty salty.
If it went to an outsider who suddenly appeared, it was only natural that there would be dissatisfaction.
Regardless of whether the attack is possible or not.
From the point of view of those who have struggled so far, it is inevitable to think that they are treated specially because they are blood relatives.
“If the leader defeats ‘Lancelot’, no one will say anything.”
“Ha, I’ve said it several times, but my skills aren’t suitable for boss battles. I would rather be with other people with the energy to do so.”
“This boss monster is an opportunity to further develop that power. Handing it over to an outsider like that is hard to recommend.”
“Umm~”
First of all, it is difficult for Mina to come out strong because she knows that she is doing it nominally, maybe sincerely for herself.
‘It seems that they don’t like it very much that we beat their leader.’
Maybe because of that, they want to exclude us from boss fights in reverse.
Well, it’s not that I don’t understand.
For those of us who have suddenly become the target of attack, we feel shaky.
“Ah, it’s because my older brother is too rigid. So the kids are scared.”
Suddenly, I heard a voice and someone entered the meeting room.
At the same time, our eyes were fixed on her.
A female student wearing a school uniform and a hat.
That would be normal, but it was because she was riding something even indoors.
‘……Yogurt cart?’
It was a yogurt cart that is common on the streets.
Yes, that was the image of a yoghurt salesperson.
“If you are the leader’s older sister, of course they are people you can trust. What are you so wary of? Oh, thank you very much. My name is Eunsol Yoo.”
She said that and handed us yogurt one by one.
We received it with a slight bewilderment.
“hahahaha, my appearance is a little peculiar, right? Because this is my weapon.”
It was a pretty odd look.
A high school girl riding a yogurt cart.
Of course, we are also a party made up of reincarnated ex-knights, childhood friends on motorcycles, and blindfolded saints.
The other two didn’t pay any attention to it, as if it was familiar.
“I would have told you to call me properly at a place like this?”
“Eh, it’s small. Because there is no case for my brother too.”
“What?”
Eunsol Yoo naturally took her seat next to us.
He seems to have a pretty sociable personality.
“Anyway, even my older brother saw him fighting the boss. Isn’t it okay to believe that?”
Yoo Eun-sol said as she jabbed the suit man’s side with her elbow.
Looking at his friendly appearance, I wondered if Yoo Eun-sol was a player who played a lot in his own way.
‘Are those two people who mainly support Mina?’
If you call guests to the meeting room like this, or come to visit them, you’re not an ordinary member of the village.
I don’t know how much power Mina has.
However, it is clear that such a group cannot be organized alone.
Perhaps their contribution to making this village is absolutely insignificant.
‘Mina seems to be listening as much as possible to what the two of them are saying.’
Of course, there are times when even close friends disagree.
It’s my party, well… Most of them listen to me, so we never fought.
If you think about it, it’s pretty strange.
I’m the one who can claim with confidence thanks to ‘comment search’.
But what do those three people see and believe in me?
Anyway, the three continued their conversation.
To be precise, the man called ‘Gyeon’ was unilaterally opposing the opinions of the two.
“There is no need to reject those who say they will fight.”
“It’s a different story than that. You never know what will happen during a war.”
Noh sighed deeply and answered.
“There is a saying that an incompetent ally is more dangerous than an enemy. As this is a life-and-death operation, mistakes made by allies are fatal. In an operation based on the premise of dealing with a boss, the damage would be enormous if an ally is pushed out.”
At those words, Yuri’s eyebrows, which had been still, twitched.
“Hey, does that mean we’re going to run away?”
“It doesn’t necessarily mean that. You can’t really say it’s not so.”
“Hoo?”
The corner of Yuri’s mouth rose very slightly.
In my experience, that means feeling bad.
I will gladly accept the provocation that you dared to give me… in that sense.
Ordinary people would cringe at the mere sight of Yuri’s life.
The man in the suit didn’t back down at all, as if it wasn’t normal.
It felt like sparks were flying out of their eyes.
‘They seem to have something similar.’
To be able to say my words without being discouraged even with Yuri in front of me.
I don’t know if he’s fearless or if he’s confident in his abilities.
“Currently, our military is built on trust. If people suddenly appear and intervene, it will only increase confusion.”
“Um, you’ve been talking a bit harsh since before. Does that mean we’ll get in the way?”
I stopped Eun-byeol, who spoke in a voice that was very upset.
It was based on the judgment that it would not be very good if it escalated into an emotional fight.
“I understand that you think so. It’s natural that we don’t have that level of trust yet.”
“……You seem to be able to communicate a little.”
At the end of the case, I smiled kindly.
To be honest, getting special treatment isn’t quite a lie.
Mina must be paying attention as much as she is in her sister’s company.
Of course, I have no intention of leaving quietly.
‘The way they look at us from a while ago is very annoying.’
Apart from the coveted reward from the boss.
I don’t want to just get over it even if I’m ignored.
“Then, shouldn’t we at least prove our skills? Whether you can deal with the boss or not.”
The man slightly frowned at my suggestion.
****
Noh Kyung-woo was called the right-hand man of Haeundae’s leader, Yumina.
The appearance of always helping her by her side and calmly handling chores.
More than anything, it was because Mina’s next best skill seemed like that.
I didn’t like that title either.
No, rather proud of it.
‘Mina is a person who has the qualities of a leader to whom I entrust my future.’
If I could become her right-hand man, that’s what I wished for.
But this time, I couldn’t agree with her judgment.
‘Where do these people believe… … .’
It’s not like we’ve been fighting together.
It’s not like he’s done a great job either.
From Noh’s point of view, they were nothing more than unreliable outsiders.
No matter how intelligent Mina is, is it inevitable that her judgment will be blurred when it comes to her older sister, who is her blood relative?
Of course I fully understand.
Because he was the one who knew better than anyone how much Mina missed her unnie.
And it was his job to correct her mistake.
‘I had a lot of worries about what to do, but if it came out like that, the conversation would be rather fast.’
Therefore, the proposal to prove Ji-hoon’s skills was a welcome one.
If you expose your skills in front of everyone.
The opinion of entrusting them with heavy responsibilities will not work.
Jihoon’s requirements were very simple.
‘Let’s take a shot. That side is the most certain, isn’t it?’
Sparring with each other, and if the result is satisfactory, properly plan a boss attack strategy centered on themselves.
On the other side, Ji-hoon, who presented his opinion, came out as a representative.
This, of course, was decided by Noh Kyung-hee to fight on his own.
Han Eul-sol said he wanted to fight, but
I didn’t want to entrust this important fight to someone else.
‘Even in the village, there were also people who called them knights and worshiped them. I’ll take this opportunity to prevent this properly and move on.’
Eventually, after going through such a process, Jihoon and Kyung-Woo Noh stood side by side in a wide empty lot.
As it was a place to show each other’s skills, the number of people who came to see it was not small.
Including Jihoon’s party and Haeundae Group’s representatives Yumina and Han Eulsol.
The villagers were looking at the two.
Mina seemed a little taken aback by the bigger plate than expected.
However, it was not an atmosphere that could be undone now.
“Hmm! Hmm! Then, let’s start mock sparring from now on.”
At the same time as Mina, who was in charge of refereeing, said, Noh Kyung-Woo pulled out his sword.
The opponent’s weapon was, ironically, a baseball bat.
‘Well, I can’t be unharmed, though.’
It’s definitely an effective weapon for defeating zombies.
However, this is a world where all kinds of fantasy systems exist.
It was common knowledge that swords and spears were more effective than that.
“You come first.”
“Is that okay?”
“Because it started because of me in the first place. I will give up on the players.”
“Then don’t hesitate.”
In fact, there was a reason to show a relaxed appearance.
You have to win as overwhelmingly as possible to reduce the overestimation of Ji-hoon.
However, that thought disappeared as soon as Jihoon moved.
-Quaang!!
‘uh?’
It was because Ji-hoon, who reached right in front of him in an instant, swung the baseball bat from the front.
Unexpected speed.
‘I have to stop… … .’
However, Noh Kyung-hee is also not called the second player in the Haeundae area with his form.
Using the experience he had accumulated in battle, he managed to block the attack with his sword.
However, Kyung-Woo No did not consider how strong Ji-Hoon was.
A sword and a baseball bat collide head-on.
-Jjooong!!
Roh Kyung-woo, who was pushed out of his strength, flew several meters away.
