204 – Let’s ambush
“You want to meet me?”
-“Yeah, he said he had something he had to say, so he asked me over and over again..”-
Immediately after telling the story that Seo Ji-yoon’s liberation was decided,
Na-sun made a request to me with earnestness.
Seo Ji-yoon…
To be precise, something in Seo Ji-yoon’s body wants to meet me.
If it’s okay, if it’s okay, can I meet her at least once?
To be honest, when I first heard of Seo Ji-yoon’s condition, I thought that I would never see her anymore, so Na Ji-seon’s request was accepted quite unexpectedly.
‘Why me? If you had Seo Ji-yoon’s memories, you would know very well that I and you weren’t on good terms.’
Feeling deep doubt about such an unexpected situation, I thought about it for a while and then hung up the phone, leaving a message that I would contact him again.

“no. Don’t accept those requests. No matter how much I think about it, I can only think of danger.”
Right after hearing the situation, Are immediately speaks in a determined voice.
Looking at her reaction, which was clearer than I thought, I asked with a little doubt.
“But.. he’s naive right now and got along well without any problems, so wouldn’t it be nice to meet him at least once?”
“From that point on, it could be a trap. To be honest, I’m still seeing that the existence embedded in him could be the Abyss’ nemesis. It is unknown what kind of dangerous things such a guy will do when he meets Jinhyeon.”
“Ummm..”
I put on a slightly embarrassing expression as I watched Are, who resolutely expressed his intention to protest.
Certainly, as she said, it was true that the existence of Seo Ji-yoon had the danger of holding a mine in her arms.
Considering the circumstances so far, the possibility is extremely low, but nevertheless, it cannot be said that it is not completely.
That was when I was struggling with that fact.
“Why are you being so tight? I just want to see you once. do you know Maybe it’s because I feel sorry for my boyfriend when I look into the memories of Seo Ji-yoon from before.”
The words of Kwon Soon, who was listening to this story from the side.
However, Are immediately objected to this.
“It might be, but it might not be, isn’t it? No matter what happens, I don’t want to create a situation where Jeon Jin-hyun could be in danger.”
“If so, how do you believe in Talos, whom you ate with this morning? Yesterday, when the A-rank hunters went to the sauna as a group, how did you feel anxious?”
“Talos and this guy are different! In the first place, Talos is a being that you even certified as the right person, but this existence named Seo Ji-yoon is a guy who doesn’t even know what’s inside. Do you think it’s only natural to be wary of such a guy?”
“However, would the Ministry of National Defense release such an existence without thinking? And that’s none other than Vice Admiral Song Dana. Isn’t it a bit excessive for us to be suspicious of an existence that you have judged safe?”
Two people talking while looking at each other slightly raising their voices.
In the case of Are, it seemed that he was trying to put my safety first.
On the other hand, in the case of Kwon Soon, as there are similarities with the work of Talos, a friend who returned from becoming an Abyss, it seemed that there was a part of her that she could sympathize with mentally.
So, while watching the unintentional argument between the girlfriends, I said to them in a troubled voice.
“Come on, both of you, calm down for a bit. To be honest, it’s not something worth fighting for so loudly, is it?”
“Haa.. Anyway. I’m against it. No matter what happens, I want to rule out the possibility of even a single wound on Mr. Jinhyeon’s body.”
“But wouldn’t it be nice to go see him first? There’s a story I want to tell you directly. If anything, it’s not bad for us to go together.”
The atmosphere, which had been slightly heated, has calmed down, but the two still clearly talk about their arguments.
Anyway, right after hearing the stories of my girlfriends, I came to a conclusion with my personal thoughts.
“..I have decided. Let’s meet first.”
“yes? Ha.. but Mr. Jinhyeon!”
Are expresses embarrassment and anxiety about my words.
Looking at her like that, I gently stroked her hair with a smile on my lips and said,
“Of course, as Mr. Are said, it might be a trap, and maybe a little dangerous. However. Rather, I have to go because the possibility exists.”
“..what does that mean?”
Are, expressing doubts about my words.
Regarding this, I started talking about what I was thinking, feeling grateful again for her heart that worried about me every moment, although it was new.
“If Seo Ji-yoon is really the Abyss’ helper, it’s because it’s better to use this opportunity.
“!.. ah..”
Right after hearing my words, Areh made an expression as if he finally understood what my intention was to meet Seo Ji-yoon.
As Are said, it was Seo Ji-yoon, an unknown being at the moment, and if she was really the Abyss’s helper, there was a very high possibility that she would reveal her hidden claws immediately after meeting me.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to pick me up and meet me.
And this also meant that at some critical yet dangerous moment in the future, a bomb that could explode anytime and anywhere could be removed right now.
‘I’d rather be like now, and if I meet Kwon Soon and ask him to look behind me, he can block his actions with minimal damage. It’s much better this way than to tolerate his move later on when you can’t deal with it.’
In other words, it means that I need to go to see Seo Ji-yoon, not just for personal curiosity, but also to prepare for a practical danger that may come in the future.
Hearing my explanation, Areh still felt uncomfortable, but for the time being, he seemed to be convinced.
“I understand what you mean. Then, the two of us and the other A-class hunters will accompany us as escorts.”
With those words, Are secretly looked at Kwon Soon, and Kwon Soon also nodded in agreement.
“Yes, then please.”
Having decided to accompany such reliable bodyguards, I accepted the meeting with Seo Ji-yoon.
If he dug a trap, he kept the thought in his head that he would respond thoroughly.

A small park located on the outskirts of Cheongju,
One site is located at the end of the extremely wide Chungbuk National University, and there are very few people… In other words, a place where you can calmly resolve whatever happens.
There,
I sat alone in a chair and waited for a guest who was supposed to come here.
Of course, from the outside it looked like there was just a man sitting there defenseless, but I knew very well that in reality this was a safer place than most places.
Dreamers’ A-class hunters are ambushing from all sides around this place where I am.
With this level of strength, I could literally cope with 10 or so high-level Abyss, and even if the opponent was that powerful humanoid Abyss, it was possible enough to keep my feet tied until I escaped.
That’s how I literally waited with all the preparations.
Najiseon’s car, which I am familiar with, began to see in my eyes.
“..came. Please prepare.”
After sending a signal in a low voice, I pretended not to know and looked at the two getting out of the car.
I don’t go there..
And, Seo Ji-yoon, who has white bleached skin, was visible.
