129 – Ranked 2 # 1
“Then go in well, Kim Geun-cheol. Don’t leak anywhere while you’re on the way.”
“I have nowhere to go.”
“That’s what they say. Knight, please go to Ares Academy.”
“Yes.”
“Bye bye. Here, this is the taxi fare.”
“Anit! Leona! Wait!”
ㅡ Tuk.
I had no time to say anything, Leona, who put the taxi fare in my hand, closed the taxi door.
“Oh!”
I can’t specify anything about this. Even Leona said she would take care of me until the end, and she told me her destination.
I really feel like I’m being treated like a kid.
I love it…!
Archangel Leona’s infinite love. Receiving it made her whole body feel warm, and her body became listless. I’m so grateful for this, but I don’t know what else to do.
I’m going to think about that later. Let’s close our eyes for a moment. It also consumed a lot of mana. I’m so tired right now that I’m turning around.
If you recover your strength in the taxi and go back to the dormitory and rest hard, you will be back to normal by tomorrow.
Intense battles bring growth, but at the same time bring a decrease in physical condition. Well, tomorrow is the ranking match. No matter what happens, you have to be as good as Munmin, so you have to take care of your condition.

I can see the living room of my old house.
Is this a dream? I thought about that for a while, and when I saw it, I was sitting at the table in front of the TV with my mom and dad, eating and watching the news.
Somehow, I felt like I hadn’t seen them in a while, so I tried to say something, but the faces of Mom and Dad were blank.
aaagh!
I screamed, but my voice didn’t come out well because it was in a dream… Shock itself. But the background has changed. Red sky. Smashed road. There, I lay on my stomach and screamed in despair.
aaagh!
“Students.”
* * *
“Students. Students wake up. School arrived.”
“Uh… Yes?”
“Woke up. Take the knife behind you.”
“Ah, yes. Good job.”
After saying hello and getting off, I opened the back door of the taxi and took my knife and two knives. And he took a monster gun.
ㅡ Ssang.
A taxi runs away in a hurry.
“Oh.”
As I was staring at it blankly, I suddenly remembered the dream I just had. What is it? It feels a little vague, but I remember watching TV with my mom and dad while eating.
“…”
Let’s go back for now.
I went back to the dormitory holding on to my flaccid breasts. And he knocked on Shihune’s door, not my room.
“Hey Sihoo. Hey Sihoo. Open the door quickly.”
ㅡ Smart, smart, smart.
Soon there was a noise from inside, and I waited for about two minutes.
“Ah, ha. Has Geun-cheol arrived?”
Sihoo, dressed comfortably, opened the door with a breathless appearance.
“Oh. It’s out.”
“By the way… Huh?! No! Geuncheol-ah! What is that! I picked up something strange!”
The terribly embarrassed Sihoo shouted in surprise. It’s kind of weird what I’m holding. The weapons of monsters are a little different compared to those of humans.
“This is a monster knife. Isn’t the design nice?”
“What is this talking about! Come in quickly!”
I entered the room with Sihoo, who was startled. I immediately put down my load and lay down on the floor.
“Oh, b*tch.”
I’m really sleepy.
“What are you lying on? What the hell is going on?! Didn’t Leona and I volunteer today?!”
“No, that’s it. I went to volunteer, but work was over in the morning. So I played with Leona for a while.”
“How could that be… Ah! I heard there were a lot of gates on the side of a department store earlier!”
“That’s it. Shopping, uh. The gate came out in the department store? That’s why I fought to death with Leona. And I brought the loot.”
“What is this…!”
Sihoo looked down at me with a serious face.
“Call me! I would have run right away!”
Certainly, it seemed like it would be comfortable to have Shihoo. She’s on the same level as Leona.
“What do you call? The situation is over right away. After fighting for a bit, the heroes, Sonbaim, came right away?”
“Haa! Can’t stop it, really!”
“I can’t stop it. Did I slaughter all the monsters and collect the loot?”
“Those knives and guns? Looking at them, they are E-rank monsters. They are a race that handles weapons…”
“Oh, what’s the point of that? Anyway, I’m going to get hungry. Let’s make something and eat it.”
“Seriously, Geun-cheol. It was still dangerous. Fighting against an E-rank monster. If Geun-cheol is good enough, it’s still dangerous.”
“hehehehe, my skills? Hey. I’ll show you tomorrow.”
I realized.
My strength.
“It shows how ‘strong’ I have become.”
“Don’t say anything weird! Anyway, next time something like this happens, contact me right away! I’m going to apply!”
“So what?”
“Then wake up. Let’s make dinner.”
“Oh, that’s how it should be.”
I got up and warmed up a bit before heading to the refrigerator. Immediately open the door and check the contents inside. I went straight to the bathroom and washed her hands.
Then, shall we cook and eat it today?
“That’s right, Sihoo.”
“Why?”
“I’m going to form a Leona bodyguard starting today.”
“What are you talking about again!”
“It just happened that way. It’s a private organization, so you join.”
“What kind of strange group to join…”
“Uh huh. Is Leona weird?”
“The strange thing is you, Geuncheol!”
“They say it’s always weird. Always. Hey. Let’s make some meat and eat it.”
No matter what happens, I will have Sihoo join Leo or the Royal Guard.
* * *
I made and ate stir-fried pork with Shihu, who nags like Leona, and returned to my room. And go straight to the bathroom. I took off my clothes and took a shower.
“Hmm.”
But this is like this monster raid incident. Isn’t it too frequent? For some reason, I feel like I go through it every time I go out.
Actually, what’s the gate? When you look at it nationwide, there’s nothing really strange about it, but it seems like it’s happening too often these days.
“That’s right.”
Thinking about that reminds me of Kitty again. Strangely, she is a girl with a lot of ties to Gate. A bit like me It feels like a gate opens wherever you go.
ㅡ Chuck.
So I hung the shower head on the wall and sent a message to Kitty while getting water on my back.
[What are you doing?]
I’m going to search for news for a while after sending it, so I get a reply right away.
[He’s playing outside, Geun-cheol’s older brother.]
[Where is it?]
[Somewhere in Gyeonggi-do.]
It’s f*cking wide.
[Be careful while playing. I saw that monsters appeared in the department store earlier.]
[Yes. I know. I saw it on the news. But why did Geun-cheol contact you?]
[I was worried because the gate appeared.]
Kitty has a lot of gate clothes like me, so she might get caught up in the middle of nowhere. She doesn’t know how strong Kitty is, but she probably hasn’t had any real combat experience since she’s her age.
A weak existence.
[Is that so? Was Geun-cheol worried about me?]
[Uh. It was fine if there were no problems. Good night.]
[Geuncheol’s older brother. Shall we meet next time?]
[Yes.]
Let’s meet once. Although he is a bit younger than me, we became close with a little friend-like feeling.
ㅡ Tiring.
“Hmm?”
But suddenly, Kitty sent me a picture.
“This?”
Looking at it, it’s a picture of the department store I went to earlier. Right now, I’m in a mess with the soldiers in many ways.
[I think the gate crisis is over.]
[What? Did you go here?]
[I went to watch the news. I want to see what happened.]
[Who wants such a dangerous hobby? I can’t. I need to scold my brother next time.]
[Good night, Geun-cheol’s brother.]
The kid is getting his feet dirty and doing such a dangerous thing. As she slowly put her phone on the shelf, Kitty sent another message.
[That’s right, Geun-cheol’s older brother. I told my sister that I have an older brother whom I have been seeing lately.]
What?!
[Then he said he wanted to meet me.]
[Who? Your sister?]
Please reply.
No.
“Hey!”
[Hey.]
[Hey.]
[Hey.]
I was flustered and kept calling, but Kitty cut off the call right away! No! What brother are you dating! It’s like I’ve become a criminal!
“Oh! The next time we meet, he’s dead!”
You’re like a kid with bare feet.
I really need to give it a go.
“f*cked.”
If you really see it, what excuse should you make to her sister? This is really weird even when I think about it from her older sister’s point of view.
ㅡ Sukseuk.
After wiping her hair with a towel, she lay down on the bed. Real man special. Do not dry your hair and lie down.
Lying down like that.
“…”
A while ago.
I think about something that came to my mind while talking with Leona. As I meditate on this, I feel like a part of my heart is empty, and a strange feeling of anxiety comes over me.
“Memory confusion.”
Until now, it was too long, so I passed it in moderation, but that’s for sure. These days, this kind of forgetfulness is getting worse.
To judge specifically… The memory of my hometown.
I tend to forget them for a moment. The faces of mom and dad? Of course I remember everything. And I clearly remember what I was doing for a living. If you’re ‘thinking’ like this, everything comes to mind.
But when I just go about my daily life, there is a feeling that those memories are blurry. What is it? Did something really go wrong with my memory?
“I’m scared…!”
I suddenly got scared and grabbed my cell phone and entered the contact list.
“I’m so scared Leona…!”
When you’re scared, talking to Leona is the best. And the moment I realized that it was scary, I began to be afraid to turn around or look elsewhere, thinking of all sorts of ghosts due to the aftermath of watching a horror movie earlier.
ㅡ Tiriling.
So I called Leona.
“Hello, Kim Geun-chul? It’s nighttime. What’s going on?”
“Leona, I’m so scared…!”
“No! Horror movie! Kim Geun-cheol is crazy! Does he really call you at night saying he’s scared!”
It wasn’t just because of that reason, but since I was talking to Leona, my anxiety disappeared. Also, it feels like the room is brightened by the energy of light being transmitted through telecommunication.
“Oh, can’t stop it!”
You’re shouting as if you’re very frustrated, but I think I’ll have a similar reaction if a bastard like Mun-min suddenly calls me saying he’s scared.
“Leona. Don’t do that.”
“What else? Can I sing you a lullaby?”
Leona’s Lullaby?!
“Hush, lullaby. Our Geun-chul. Come on, go to sleep.”
Aint!
“Kuhak! Leona! Now, all my fears have gone! Thank you so much. Thank you the most in the world!”
“Seriously, there are so many different kinds of sh*t. I can’t believe I’m satisfied after listening to my lullaby… Quit it!”
“Don’t leave me…! In the dark!”
“Don’t get sick!”
ㅡ Tturung.
You cut it off really relentlessly.
“I couldn’t even say thank you.”
Then let’s touch the status window and go to sleep. What is memory confusion? Since I came to a different world, there might be such side effects.
