142 – Kang Ah-rang (2)
I watched Suho’s back as he descended for a long time.
‘I’d like to explain it properly, but… ‘
What I’m going to talk about now is a sensitive issue.
“… So, Siwoo Yoo. You did as you wished. Are you satisfied now?”
“thank you. Thanks to you, the job is done well.”
I looked back at the same time as I answered.
The two saints looked at me with tense expressions.
“… I’m not sure if it’s worth it to him. It is true that he has great talent, but it is so easy for a person who once fell into evil to walk that road again.”
Chris says that he cannot trust Han Soo-ho.
“He is a warrior. It’s just that I was unfairly burdened when I was too young to even heal my own wounds, and that’s why I needed something to rely on.”
Two people listening to me silently.
“So I needed some time to reflect on myself. All it takes is a little break. He’s the most heroic man I’ve ever known. And it’s my job to help him get back on his feet.”
The saintess looked at her with a look that said she had many things to say. But all of that was replaced by a deep sigh.
“… Whoa, I get it. Then I want to start a full-fledged transaction.”
The saintess rummaged through her arms and took out a small glass bottle.
She reacted in disbelief.
“Really, the aging and decay of the body has stopped. where the heck is this… It’s definitely the same medicine the Pope gave me… No, much more powerful than that… ”
“That wasn’t what the deal was about.”
“… … ”
“If you make an oath, I will give you and the rest of the saints a sufficient amount to sustain their lives, even the prospective saints who are created in test tubes. And, of course, the recipe. So please answer me.”
“… Talking about bringing out the pope… Are you serious?”
“You who have worked under him will know better how wicked the current Pope is.”
“… … ”
“In the near future, the ‘living flame’ sealed in the Vatican will rise again. Do you think the pope really thinks she’s just as civic-minded as she used to be? Will you risk your life against it even then?”
“no. They will surely use you as a shield and then run away. While talking nonsense about leaving in search of a new holy place.”
I saw Chris clenching his fist to break at my words.
Looking at the face that couldn’t even deny the slightest bit, he continued talking as if driving a wedge.
“So you guys use your hands first. If you are a person who thinks about goodness, has questions, and truly cares about citizens… What is the road for Allen… I think you know very well whether this is the way for the world.”
He held out his hand slowly. Looking at it, she shook her head as if to help herself.
“… I am not as great a person as you think. I was just born and became a saint… She survived the longest and became a First Lady. just… Because I don’t want to die… ”
“That’s enough. Don’t you want to save yourself as well as your younger siblings?”
“… … ”
“That, it’s okay to have one purpose. So take my hand. I can make your wishes come true.”
After staring at me for a long time, she looked down at Artia without saying a word.
“… Sister, do whatever you want.”
“… … ”
Quietly stroking the eight saints’ hair, she opened her mouth as if determined.
●
That day, three days had passed since the conversation that night.
The vacation started right after the school festival, and most of the students went home, so there were not many people left in Ernel.
‘Originally… I also have to go see my aunt with Hana, but… ‘
I had so many things to do right now, so I said I would see you later over the phone.
‘Come to think of it… I also contacted Mi-hyang and Erin.’
Anytime is fine, so a proposal to meet once during vacation and go to play like in an amusement park.
I did not know if I would have time for that, but I replied that I would make the most of the time.
Anyway, there was a lot of rubbish, but it was the first free period, so I had to hurry up and do what I had to do.
‘There are three years left until the completion of the monster wave and iron… ‘
However, based on my experience so far, I was certain that things would happen sooner than that time frame.
‘Because Dr. Li Xiaolong and the poison drop were like that too… I’m sure it must be.’
Maybe it doesn’t happen because I’m lucky, or I don’t know if I can make it go away…
That’s not going to happen.
I don’t know if it’s a small incident, but it’s a rule that I’ve felt while living here that the main story happens unconditionally.
‘I need to get stronger sooner… ‘
The strength of the body, the equipment, and the talent were utterly lacking.
And I shouldn’t be strong on my own. We had to find as many helpers as possible.
It didn’t matter if it was a relationship, cooperation, or threats.
‘I will not choose any means or methods to achieve my goal.’
I plan to prepare as many tiles in my hand as possible.
‘It seems that Mir and the saintess have managed somehow… Now what I need to do is the reigning guild… ‘
And now I’m waiting for her for that…
‘… Why aren’t you coming?’
I turned my gaze and looked at the clock hanging in the cafe.
It was noticed that it was 30 minutes past the appointed time.
‘Where are Kanga and the kid and what are they doing?’
Have you ever had an accident… No, I don’t think so.
I was just thinking if I should make a phone call.
“there… ”
“… ?”
I raised my gaze at the voice I heard.
I saw four women snooping around and looking at me.
Let’s use observation right away like a habit, it was a civilian without any power or ability.
Then, a thought came to me.
‘… Who is it? Could it be that the reporter sent to dig up information about Suho, or the swindler who came to investigate me?’
It was pretty plausible. After all, it would be easier to be vigilant to send civilians rather than the same Awoken.
“… Me, what happened… ?”
He responded with a bit of caution. Then, the four of them looked at each other and made silly faces.
“I want you to be alone from now on. If you don’t have a special appointment, why don’t you play with us?”
At those words, my heart melted.
‘Ah, for that purpose… I just cared… ‘
“Thanks for the offer, but I’m sorry. I have a prior arrangement.”
Then, the women who glanced at each other and sat next to them without permission.
Before long, he was close to me as if he were imprisoned. Feeling burdened, I wondered why I was doing this, so I opened my mouth.
“excuse me?”
“Don’t do that~ Play with us. Yeah? It’s because I like it too much.”
“And I guess we’re older… Don’t be so hard, can’t you just say noona? huh? Leave your words behind.”
One sneaks up on me and puts a hand on my thigh.
“What is the name of our cute little brother? do you have a girlfriend If not, we can give you a good experience… Of course even if… It’s nice to just enjoy each other.”
“… … ”
Suddenly, my eyes narrowed. It was a moment when I was contemplating whether I should kick it out with a burst of momentum.
“Hey, pumpkins. Because that guy is mine. Don’t stick around and get out.”
A familiar voice, a tone he had never heard before, and laughter leaked out automatically.
When I turned around, I saw Kang Ah-rang dressed in a formal outfit.
She glares at women with a frown on her arrogance.
“What, pumpkin? hey what are you It suddenly appears and makes a fuss.”
“young… What kind of kid has such a big heart, what do you say about a child who looks young anyway? Say it again.”
Four people staring intently. However, he soon shut up when he saw the bodyguard appearing to follow Kang Ah-rang.
Kang A-rang shakes his head excitedly as if he is dumbfounded by the appearance.
As it was, a small burst of red energy was emitted.
The four people who were hit by the momentum trembled like frogs in front of the snake.
“Speak only twice. go away.”
Four people vacate the seat as if they were running away in a hurry. I opened my mouth as I watched him go out the back door.
“Why are you so late? I think I’m dying of waiting.”
“… … ”
“… ? What’s wrong with that expression?”
“Can’t stand that bird and flirt with women? Is it all just by age? Do you prefer a girl who can play lightly like that?”
“What is he saying now. I don’t have that taste, and I would have kicked you out if you hadn’t. What about the people after that?”
Two women bowing their heads towards me.
He was wearing a badge engraved with the reigning mark.
‘His breathing and momentum are well-polished. They are people with a lot of practical experience. One is a weapon technique for body separation… The other is telepathy and teleportation… ‘
He seemed to be an elite who had survived the reign for a long time.
In my eyes, ‘Huh… ‘Ang Kang who answers while walking away.
“don’t mind. anyway… Sorry I’m late. There are a lot of noisy guys like reporters on the way.”
With those words, I could roughly understand the situation.
“ah… Could they be like that too?”
“Uh, in case you don’t know what will happen, the executives say to take them with you because they are the torch… Anyway, I’ve prepared tea, so let’s get on. Let’s go before it’s too late.”
She turns around with the horse. We headed to our destination in a car that had been modified to the level of an armored vehicle prepared outside the door.
●
We sat down and opened each other’s bags to check the items.
A recovery syringe containing extra potions and blue liquid to use when your mental power is depleted. Energy bars and canned food that are small in volume but packed with nutrients and calories. An automatic tent and sleeping bag that make a sleeping place just by setting it up.
“… Isn’t that too luxurious? how much is each of these? What about vacuum-packed vegetables and meat? What are we going camping?”
At my reaction, Kang Ah-rang gasped as if he were looking at a country boy.
“Who am I to save money on something like this? I’ve prepared your own, so don’t worry.”
“No, it’s not like that… Isn’t that too wasteful?”
“You nag like a miser… ? I’m Kang Ah-rang from the reigning guild. This is nothing.”
With Kang Ah, arms crossed and legs crossed. I only sighed at the really useless appearance that I saw in the original work.
‘Well, it’s not even my money, so it’s funny to worry about it.’
“And… ”
“Well?”
When I raised my head, I saw Kang A-rang, who was a bit hesitant, unlike before.
Strangely, his face also turned red… A feeling of incomprehensible rejection came up.
“What is that, you’re making a bad face… ”
“Gee, I feel bad… ? Hey you son of a bitch! Do you talk to people like that!”
“No, that kind of personality suits you… ”
“Enough! Take this one!”
She throws a small cube with a sigh.
The word ‘handle with care’ was written on it to see if it had been processed in subspace.
I looked at him with a puzzled expression and confirmed it slowly.

“… … ?”
I rubbed my eyes for a moment thinking I might have seen it wrong. But looking back, it was unmistakable.
“Hey, Kanga and this… ”
She looks at me with a new look.
With his arms crossed, he turned his face slightly and opened his mouth as if to make an excuse.
“A while ago, a gate with the theme of the Three Kingdoms was opened, and it was one of the items I received as an item for participating in the war. To be honest, I was trying to make it by hand, but when I saw the technique you used, I couldn’t believe it. It’s said that it was written by a longevity with monstrous powers, so it’s suitable for you… ”
I just hugged her.
Kang A-rang, who hardens like a mangbuseok when he touches your bosom.
“Thank you so much! Oh my gosh… ”
The corners of his lips did not go down in the bubbling joy.
‘If it’s Bang Cheonhwageuk, isn’t that the weapon that Yeo Bu used?’
Even in the original work, it was a weapon that was only available in the encyclopedia, and it was a kind of equipment in dummy data that could only be obtained by using cheats.
I was wondering where to get this… It must have been owned by the ruling party.
So no matter what I did, I couldn’t get it…
‘Only the performance level is a hero, and in fact, it’s no different from a legendary weapon.’
I thought, ‘If it’s rare, I’ll be able to withstand the dragon-fighting method at least.’ In this way, there was no need to spend a lot of money to buy equipment.
‘Additionally, you will be able to create additional synergy through the martial arts of the seeker. If it’s a weapon used by the original owner, the founder will surely be satisfied.’
“Hey, Siu Yu… That… Get away.”
“Well? Oh sorry!”
He apologized for holding him tight and distanced himself.
“Hey, but can you really give this to me? It’s precious… Regardless of the grade, if it’s a weapon from another world, it’s worth it… ”
“… okay… uh. Because I just paid for it.”
“???”
I looked at her, not understanding what she meant.
I could see the corners of my mouth twitching as I was breaking out in a cold sweat, but… I decided not to pay much attention to the rising joy now.
