53 – Vain Love
Choi Si-woo calmly looked at the other person.
He thought it must be true.
A perfume that Ohana often wears.
An item she gave as a gift to her, who was embarrassed by the smell of oil and gunpowder from handling her firearm.
Same bob.
Dyeing of similar colors.
The military uniform he is wearing and the belt with the grenade on his waist.
I thought it was her because she was even carrying her firearm.
‘No.’
He is just a person who pretends to be Ohana.
I followed him to the point where it was very similar, but he was a completely different person.
And Choi Si-woo knew who this woman in front of him was.
‘Ryu Chae-hwa.’
At the time when I was carrying out my duties as a battalion commander, right before I was discovered as a member of the warrior party.
He was a person who assisted and served right next to him.
As she stares, Ryu Chae-hwa’s face turns slightly red.
“… Battalion commander… ?”
“…… “
I looked away without saying a word.
Besides her, there were two other men looking at them.
A large man who looks like a bear, a man of average build with eyes as narrow as a snake.
This was a person they both knew.
‘Moon Himchan, Ye Dongtak.’
Likewise, it was his subordinate.
“Captain. What is it? You look like someone who is half asleep… “Are you still sleepy?”
Moon Himchan, who laughed heartily, soon came closer and whispered with a sinister expression.
“I know you are going to have to work hard with the saint at night, but you still need to attend the meeting properly.”
Ye Dong-tak must have heard the voice.
“That’s right. Hero. “No matter how much you do for the future, if you brag too much, I’ll get jealous.”
“Both of you are rude! What a foolish thing to do to the battalion commander… !”
“Hey, Ryu Chae-hwa. Don’t be too rigid… So will I even get a chance? “There must be a reason why I cut my hair short~”
“What!”
Noisy conversation continues.
Regardless of location and status, people quietly wiped their foreheads in the noisy atmosphere.
I used the conversation between the three as background music on the radio to organize my thoughts.
‘Think…’ ‘Why am I here?’
6Th place in the six demons, to defeat the Empress of Dreams.
For that, I entered the barrier.
This is undoubtedly true.
And as soon as you enter, you see this view.
It seems like what happened in the past has unfolded to her, just as Goddess Irelua said.
‘… ‘My memory is hazy.’
It was the power of the 6th rank in the Six Demons.
At first, the purpose and memories remain clear, but as time passes, everything becomes blurry and soon becomes indistinguishable from reality.
In the end, he becomes a resident of this place and becomes a dead person who falls into an eternally repeating dream and remembers only the memories of the broken clock.
‘… ‘It can’t last long.’
I can already feel the erosion of memories taking place.
I had to hurry and wake up from this nightmare and collect the fragments.
“Ryu Chae-hwa.”
Waak to your own call! The woman who shouted was startled.
“Boo, did you call me? Battalion commander.”
“Song Jun-ho.”
“… To? Yes?”
“Where is Vice Director Song Jun-ho now? If I remember correctly, it was probably when I returned from being dispatched to the Firewood Forest.”
“…… “
“… ?”
What… ?
The atmosphere becomes cold at his own question.
All three people glanced at each other with embarrassed expressions.
Moon Himchan, who was scratching his chin, carefully opened his mouth.
“Hey, Captain. “I think it’s still very difficult.”
“… What?”
“That… “
Moon Himchan, who was watching, was unable to speak properly.
It was just as I was about to scold him.
A third person’s voice was heard from behind.
“He’s dead.”
Ttogak ttogak.
The sound of footsteps can be heard filling the spacious conference room.

When I turned around, there was a slender beauty with long dark gray hair standing there.
The woman, who gave the impression of being cold at first glance, had a large scar around her right eye.
“… “Namgoongryun?”
“Battalion Commander Choi Si-woo. No matter how much you are a front-line hero and a warrior who overturned an unfavorable war situation, I am superior to you in terms of status. “Don’t call me names carelessly.”
Nangong Lun sat across the front of the conference room, feeling the cold wind blowing through him.
After taking a sip from the coffee can she was holding, she glanced at Choi Si-woo and continued her words.
“There seems to be confusion in your memories. Battalion Commander Choi Si-woo.”
“…… “
“It would be difficult if you tried to escape reality, so I’ll tell you again. Vice leader Song Jun-ho is dead.”
“Director Ryun!”
“Ryu Chae-hwa. I know your loyalty. “But she can’t judge the situation, and I think she’s the type of woman who doesn’t do stupid things like get involved.”
“…… “
Namgung Ryun shook her hand and threw her three necklaces from her waist.
She accepted it slowly.
‘Silver Soul.’
An object similar to a dog tag.
And each one had the name of the original owner engraved on it.
‘Oh Hana, Song Jun-ho, Jegal Eun-byeol… ‘
Looking at the pattern stained with her blood, she clenched her fist so hard that it was crushed.
I see.
I see.
She closed her eyes and tilted her head back.
‘It looks like memory erosion is worse than I thought.’
I never thought I would even be confused about the order of things.
Now is the time…
‘In the civilian rescue operation… After I was the only one left alive.’
I finally remember it properly.
This is a story after three precious people left my side.
In terms of timing, it seems to be about a year later.
At this time, I was full of hatred and resentment toward most people, including Erina.
‘…… ‘
I thought it was rather fortunate.
If she were the Empress of Dreams who had awakened to her full power, she would most likely have shown Song Jun-ho’s end, Zhuge Silver Star’s suicide, and Oh Ha-na’s cold body in front of my eyes one after another.
“Battalion Commander Choi Si-woo.”
“… Hmm?”
I turned my head to the voice I heard.
Meanwhile, a meeting was taking place, and the entire screen was filled with the entire route for the new operation.
‘Was I too absorbed in my thoughts at that moment?’
I wanted to, but even so, not even a minute passed.
‘… Even the flow of time is different.’
Even the time of embodiment appears to be different, as if proving that it is a completely incomplete space.
But the people around him didn’t know that, so they just looked at him with worried expressions.
“… Ha.”
Namgoong Ryun sighed deeply and put down the documents she was holding on her table.
“Today’s meeting ends here. Because the most important battalion commander can’t concentrate. “I don’t think it would be helpful to explain any further.”
“… “I’m sorry.”
“Instead of apologizing, I want you to show your concentration next time.”
Namgoong Ryun clicked her tongue and took a sip of her coffee.
When the meeting ended, Ryu Chae-hwa, who was sitting next to her, quickly approached her.
She put a hand on her shoulder, not hiding her worry.
“Battalion Commander… You have a bad complexion. “I’m canceling today’s schedule, so please go to your room and rest.”
Artificial green eyes, as if wearing lenses, reflected Choi Si-woo.
No matter how much it is a dream, this is a place of laws where what he personally experienced is actually realized.
‘So… There will be no need to lie.’
In other words, this feeling she is sending out actually happened.
I realize this once again.
‘… I really received a lot of undeserved love.’
You can feel the sadness in Ryu Chae-hwa’s eyes.
Respect, gratitude, hope… And a pink heart.
‘Finally… Is it despair?’
A unique color of despair appears in the eyes of Moon Him-chan and Ye Dong-tak, who look at each other warmly.
‘I see.’
It seems like everyone intuitively sensed this from then on.
A premonition that no matter how hard we struggle, we will eventually lose the battle with the ‘demon god’.
In the end, the existence of humanity can no longer be maintained.
“… Battalion commander?”
“Sorry, I have something to think about for a moment.”
I calmly stood up from my seat.
First, I planned to wander around this place and figure out how to end the nightmare.
Just as I was about to go outside, I stopped when I heard a voice.
“Wait a minute… “
Namgoongryun, who was sitting quietly, called him out.
“Battalion Commander Choi Si-woo. You stay for a while. “There was some urgent matter left to discuss.”
“… Director Ryun. The battalion commander is not in a normal condition right now. Please next time-“
“- Ryu Chae-hwa.”
Namgung Ryun cut her off and gave her a cold look.
“I think I warned you once… “Don’t climb up.”
“…… “
“Because I’m fine. “Bring the rest of the kids out first.”
“… All right.”
Ryu Chae-hwa turned around and glared at Nam Gung-ryun and bowed lightly.
As she watched her walking away, Namgoong Ryun crushed the coffee can she was holding.
“… Cheeky b*tch. In the past, I wouldn’t have even made eye contact with you… “
“Why do you hate Ryu Chae-hwa so much?”
“Are you asking because you really don’t know? Really?”
“…… “
Instead of answering, I just scratched the back of my head and walked in front of her.
“So what is the important agenda? “If it was just the two of you, did you even find Mine’s headquarters?”
“…… Does not exist.”
“… What?”
“It’s just an excuse. To make time with you… “
Choi Si-woo was dumbfounded and tried to say something.
At that moment.
Wow!
“… !”
Nangongryun suddenly stood up and hugged him strongly.
You can feel the voluptuousness of a woman that cannot be completely hidden even in military uniform.
The heat is strong enough to make you think it’s hot.
A terribly strong smell of perfume wafts past my nose.
Nevertheless, I could also smell the scent of alcohol and cigarettes, which I could not hide.
“…… “
I calmly lowered my gaze.
Namgoongryun’s face is seen, which is completely different from before.
Moist eye area full of moisture.
Mucous membrane that connects like a thread to the corners of the mouth.
The feeling of love blooming in both eyes.
… And the carnal desire that is strong enough to overwhelm everything.
I couldn’t speak because of the strong desire for s*x that made me wonder if I had taken an aphrodisiac.
“… What are you doing? This.”
“Aren’t you okay now?”
“… What.”
In response to his question, Namgung Ryun raised her gaze upward.
“Ohana.”
“…… “
There is silence for a moment.
After swallowing her words, Namgung Ryun continued her words while rubbing her face against Choi Si-woo’s chest.
“… “I asked because I thought I might get a chance at least once.”
She sighed and slowly lowered her arms.
“Stop talking nonsense, if you’re hungry for a man, find another guy.”
She turned around and tried to come out.
But she couldn’t.
Because Nangongryun hugged me tightly once again.
“… Hey.”
“Witch… No, Yurika, I know she sleeps with that b*tch often. But that’s not love. She couldn’t help it. You were threatened. Because she, Yurika, can’t live unless she sleeps with you. Yes?”
“…… “
“I won’t ask you to love only me. I’m not shameless enough to want that either. Just… “Can’t you just think of it as a good experience once?”
Namgung Ryun’s sorrowful gaze is conveyed as if she is breathtaking.
Sleuk-. Tuk.
The sound of clothes falling to the floor is heard.
Namgoong Ryun took off her military uniform jacket, revealing herself wearing only her underwear.
Perhaps this was her intention from the beginning, as the attractive color of her flesh filled the surroundings inside her mesh underwear.
“… Battalion commander… No, Choi Si-woo… with me… “
Let’s sleep together.
Oh, no wonder he’s kinda allergic to saint, he was forced to make love with her
