“Are you calming down now?”
Yoo Ji-hyuk said, not paying attention to his wet shirt.
Tears and runny nose poured out as much as she could, but her insides were refreshed, but Ye-eun Lee, unable to raise her face, avoided his gaze and nodded her head.
“… Sorry.”
“Stop apologizing. So just be patient until it builds up like that.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk, who was muttering like a bruise, said in a voice mixed with concern, as if he was happy.
“I’ll go get some water. Don’t go anywhere, just rest here.”
Yeeun Lee did not answer.
Jihyuk let out a small sigh.
“You have to answer.”
“… yes.”
After Yoo Ji-hyuk left, Ye-eun Lee raised her face, which had been lowered.
When I gently touched my eyes, I could tell that the stinging thing was swollen like a crucian carp.
“ha.”
Relieved, she looked up at the night sky and let out a small sigh.
I felt like I was living a little bit as I vomited out the old feelings.
… Of course, I can’t look at his face properly for a while, so I’ll have to run away.
“Yeah, that’s right… .”
Ye-eun Lee smiled weakly.
After this contest is over, let’s talk about it then.
You and I are half-brothers.
I am your sister and you are my sister.
let’s get it all out
And from now on, even if it’s late, let’s live like other siblings.
“Yeah, it should be… .”
So while she was muttering, the sound of the closed door opening was heard.
Ye-eun Lee, who turned her head to see if Yoo Ji-hyuk had already come, could see a stranger standing there.
No, I’ve definitely seen it somewhere.
where was it
Yes, it is the student who was next to Ahn Do-hoon.
The name is obviously… .
“Niiljun junior… Were you there?”
At his words, he looked somewhat startled.
And then he smiled a little.
“Did you remember my name?”
“Yeah, what.”
Yeeun Lee nodded her head.
As usual, I didn’t want to face anyone other than Yoo Ji-hyuk, but it was inevitable.
As she thought that she might leave soon, he opened his mouth with hesitation.
“Hey, I didn’t really mean to eavesdrop.”
Na Il-jun cautiously said that he heard her cry.
At his words, Yeeun Lee shut her mouth in shame and shame.
And he looked around Yeon-sin as if to tell him a big secret.
“Actually, I was just trying to pretend I didn’t know, but I just couldn’t go on like this.”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Yoo Ji-hyuk, that bird… No, that guy.”
Ye-eun Lee could easily recognize anger, contempt, hatred, and jealousy in the words Na Il-jun spit out Yoo Ji-hyuk.
Whether or not he knew that her eyes were changing sharply, Il-jun Na began to vomit at her in a desperate voice in his own way.
“I know you don’t know, but he’s a really bad guy in the academy.”
Na Il-jun wanted to be around this time and started spreading bad rumors about him.
It was not because it was true that Yoo Ji-hyuk did not have a very good reputation in the class.
Therefore, he was not even telling a lie, he was just telling the truth.
“Lessons are engrossed in fictional days, and it was said that our professor favored him even if he had any weaknesses. And he abused it. It’s not just that.”
“… … .”
“Han Su-young and Choi Hyun-woo… . I went with him to see how he looked good to the only two S ranks in the class… . After going out with him, they were both suspended? He’s a really bad bastard, you bastard. Most of all, rumors about women are really dirty, but from what I’ve heard, only the girls he’s touched already… .”
“In human relationships.”
Yeeun Lee cut off his words as if she didn’t need to listen anymore.
If I could, I wanted to either wash my ears after hearing dirty words, or sew the mouth of the man who spit out the dirty words.
“What do you think is the most important thing in a relationship?”
“Uh, yes?”
When Na Il-jun asked, she spoke to him quietly, in a voice that didn’t contain any emotions.
“I believe that the most important thing in human relationships is trust. Personally, I don’t think people without trust are untrustworthy and not worth being with.”
“ah… . Yes. Yes. It’s important, God.”
Seeing him nodding her head, she could barely stand the fact that she almost spit out abusive language.
“And I think talking about someone who isn’t there, and even talking behind the scenes, is one of the most dishonest behaviors.”
Na Il-jun gave a blank expression to her words.
It was as if she couldn’t understand why she was reacting like this.
“… I’m tired. I want to be alone, would you mind leaving?”
“No, I… just!”
“Sister.”
Ye-eun let out a small sigh.
It was an action filled with the intention of not knowing what to do because the other person was annoying.
“Do you have to tell me directly that I’m uncomfortable and that I don’t want to see your face anymore?”
“ah… .”
“Please go. And I would appreciate it if you would never say hello to me again in the future.”
“I, I… . I just… .”
“Hey, I really am.”
Seeing him stuttering as if in shock, Yeeun Lee sighed as if she was tired.
“Are you ignorant, or are you stupid?”
“Yes?”
“Hey, turn it off, wait! Seeing your face is so annoying that I burst into tantrums!”
Her genuine annoyance gave him a look of shock.
Then he mumbled in a voice that seemed disbelievable.
“… Have you been deceived by that bastard already?”
“What, what is this bastard? Because this bastard really wants to hear it… !”
Ye-eun Lee, who was really excited by those words, picked up the wine glass that had been lying on the floor roughly as if she was going to throw it at any moment.
Surprised by the action, he hurriedly ran away.
Seeing the back of his hastily run away, Yeeun Lee did not try to hide her contemptuous expression.
“Who dares to be a mean bastard… .”
She mumbled like that, half way up, and leaned her body into the chair roughly.
After all, I would have put my fist on that annoying face.
Alright, let’s chase after it and beat it up.
With that thought, it was time for her to get up again.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“Ah, eh. Oh no! I didn’t wait long.”
As soon as I heard Yoo Ji-hyuk’s voice, my face felt like it was going to explode.
I still couldn’t believe that I was still in his arms and cried like a child.
Rather, he thought that it would be better if he used that fact as an excuse to make fun of him.
The thought of Na Il-jun had long since disappeared from my mind.
“Come on, I brought a towel here, so use it. It will be good for reducing swelling.”
“Ah yes.”
She quietly took the wet towel and put it to his eyes, as he said.
I don’t know whose younger brother it is, but I think that he is very kind and gentle.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two stood there without a word.
Meanwhile, Ye-eun Lee suddenly began to question whether she was in a position to curse at Na Il-jun for not having any faith.
Aren’t I the most distrustful person right now… ?
The fact that there was nothing wrong with that thought seemed to make her depressed.
‘… okay.’
I’d rather say it now.
Yeeun Lee, who had made such a determination, raised her head with a firm determination.
“I, my junior… .”
As she muttered in a whisper, she shook her head slightly.
It was no longer this name.
“… Jihyuk-ah.”
I felt him turn around when I called his name awkwardly.
My heart started beating like crazy.
Ahh.
father.
Without realizing it, she mumbled a name that she couldn’t even remember her voice now.
Her father said to himself that he was always trying to be right and right.
Did he say that he wanted to become a proud father who would not be ashamed of his daughter?
And the evidence and results were right here, right now.
“I have something to tell you. Actually you and I… !”
Yeeun Lee muttered like that and raised her head.
“… … .”
However, Yoo Ji-hyuk was not looking at him.
He was looking at another place with a serious expression on his face, but Ye-eun Lee saw it and cried for a moment.
It was a moment in which I squeezed the courage to never again in my life… !
But she could immediately notice that one side of her field of vision was strangely twinkling.
It was a different light from the night view illuminating the street at night.
She turned her head involuntarily following him.
“… what?”
She got up from her seat, muttering blankly.
An unbelievable sight was unfolding.
The street was on fire.
* * *
A woman was heading somewhere with urgent steps.
Although she came from a branch of the clan, she was also a person who was valued for her ability alone.
Her ability is none other than detection.
It was also the ability to sense the power of the World Tree.
She hastened her steps with a pale face.
Who should I tell, who the hell… ?
As someone who was suddenly faced with a choice that would never happen again in her life, she couldn’t easily make a decision and just floundered.
Yoon-Sung Lee?

Otherwise, the elders… ?
“Whoa, let’s calm down… !”
She took a deep breath and mumbled that.
The reason she was so upset was simple.
Yoo Ji-hyuk.
It was because he sensed his aura by chance.
To be precise, the energy of the World Tree that is sleeping and breathing inside him.
When I sensed it the other day, it was ridiculous that I didn’t feel anything.
And it was, I swear, a more powerful and primordial energy than anything she had ever felt and sensed.
She had also met Lee Je-seok, the current head of the household, and the energy of the man who could not contain his name.
However, the energy of Yoo Ji-hyeok that I had just seen was so pure that it could not be compared with theirs.
An aura that is so powerful that it is ominous.
She dismissed it as merely a natural defensive instinct when witnessing an irresistible force.
‘The branch of the World Tree, that was enough energy from two people… !’
It was literally great information.
Yeeun Lee is probably aware of this fact.
However, it seemed that he was deliberately hiding that fact.
If I did, she or Shin Woo-seok, a close friend of hers, might have silenced her without a mouse or a bird.
If so, let’s quickly sell this information to Lee Yun-seong or the elders.
She nodded her head and smiled a little.
So, in this very hand, the power that I could never have dreamed of as a person from a distant branch… !
“… what?”
Then she felt another energy.
It was an unfamiliar, unfamiliar energy.
And the moment she realized that it was the energy of Lee Jae-jun, a traitor whose name could not be contained, her stomach was already pierced by something.
“… Black!”
“Shh. You have to be quiet at night to be a good person.”
Jaejoon Lee hugged her from behind and covered his mouth.
Then he moved the branches of the World Tree and began to literally prick her inside.
She began to struggle violently in the unimaginable pain, but it was not enough to break free from restraint.
“I don’t know if it’s the same as usual… . I thought you wouldn’t be able to detect me right away if the energy of the clan was scattered here and there, but luckily, you were right.”
He chuckled and burst out laughing.
The woman in his arms was now trembling.
“Hey… . I’m so glad I was able to kill you like this now, because you were one of those really annoying powers. Now I can move freely. Ah, Yoo Ji-hyuk is there, isn’t it?”
After talking so tenderly, he realized that she had already stopped breathing and showed a shy expression on his face.
Kicking his tongue out of regret, he quietly laid the woman’s body down as if leaning against the wall.
“But this is really cool.”
He murmured as if it was new to him, and fiddled with his left arm.
The left arm, which had been implanted with Sbangali’s power, caused him a lot of pain, but it was well worth it.
Then, he could feel the party leader becoming noisy.
His servants planted all over the street seemed to be moving as expected.
“Ego. Everyone, come on, move. If you don’t move quickly, the streets will burn and the citizens will be beaten to death by fanatics.”
He licked his lips with his tongue and let out a small sigh.
“We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way, and he has laid on me the iniquity of our group… .”
He muttered with gleaming eyes and moved on.
There are still so many people I have to meet.
* * *
When he came to his senses, Il-Jun Ni was walking out of the building and wandering in the garden.
“Heh, heh heh… . Ugh… .”
His breath hit his chin and he exhaled harshly.
why, why?
He thought so.
Where and when did it go wrong?
He knew the answer to that question from the beginning.
“Keep it up… !!!”
He clenched his teeth, clenched his teeth, and sobbed.
He has always blocked his way in that way.
It was also embarrassing in front of everyone from the first day.
He also won the match against himself with a dirty trick.
In a mock dungeon class, he used magic to stun himself.
And, the one who pierced the seat next to that person.
All, all because of him.
Without him, without him… !
“Dog, child! 이 개새끼가… ! How dare you!”
Na Il-jun shouted that and started kicking the tree right next to him with all his might.
The anger and anger that had nowhere to go became just meaningless shouts and tears.
“die! 죽여버리겠어, 이 개새끼… ! Orphans who do not have their parents, a fucking baby, you, I. I tore it to pieces… !”
That was when he was completely surrendered to his anger.
“Ugh… . What made you so angry?”
It was a terrible noise, like scraping iron.
Surprised by the sound as if he was stabbing a high note directly, Il-jun Na quickly looked around.
“What, what! What kind of bastard, come with me!”
“Oh, sorry for this. I was rude without knowing it.”
Something appeared in the dark.
And when he saw it, he couldn’t understand.
“… what?”
it was a bird
It looked like a crude statue made by weaving tree branches tangled up and approached.
“It sounds like something bad is going to happen… . Is it a dental problem? You can see it just by looking at it.”
A bird’s body on a human face.
The incongruity and the sloppy face caused discomfort enough to make me take a step backwards without realizing it.
Whether he knew that fact or not, he just shook his head as if he was sorry.
And he said, shaking his body with a crackling sound.
“I will help. Of course I have work to do now, but… . Can’t you help it? You can’t just leave someone in trouble.”
The bird murmured and nodded its head.
“I will grant you one wish. … Wait, is one too few?”
It tilted its head and approached him little by little.
It was then that Il-Jun Na realized that it was at least twice as large as himself.
The branches that made up his body were constantly moving and oscillating like waves.
“Then two! I’ll give you two! Yes, at least two should be heard.”
It nodded as if satisfied.
“You want to kill one and get the other, right?”
“What, crazy… ! come to me… !”
“Hey, hey, hey. no. no.”
When Na Il-jun, startled, tried to scream, it spread its wings in amazement.
And then Na Il-jun tilted his head as if he did not understand why he wanted to run away.
That guy was trying to help me.
“I’m glad it’s simple and the emotions are intense. Anyway, I’m here to help you. Do you understand this far?”
Hearing those words, Na Il-jun nodded his head blankly.
Then it whispered in a voice that seemed to be very good.
“Oh, that’s good. The cooperative attitude makes us really good friends. Don’t you?”
Sbengali.
A seven evil species that deceives people’s hearts, confuses them, and controls them with the tip of their tongues.
And the monster, which was sealed in the World Tree, and then released by the clan’s hand, giggled and spewed out laughter like a bird.
Sbangali immediately handed something to Na Il-jun.
“I’m sure you know better how to use it.”
It was none other than a sealing stone with Surt’s flame.
