“You, I hope you met my sister… !”
Jin Ye-seul did not speak with an urgent expression, but closed her eyes and took a small breath.
“… Whoa. Have you met my sister?”
Already her eyes were convinced that I had met Jin-jeong.
Rather than smell, how can we remember and identify people by smell?
It was a moment when she realized once again that her five senses were beyond the realm of human beings.
‘… No, maybe.’
The price for what was stolen might be that overwhelming physical ability.
Thinking about it, I nodded my head.
“uh. met Just before.”
At those words, Jin Ye-seul exhaled as if sighing for a moment.
“I definitely told you not to meet… !”
Jin Ye-seul, who had been talking up to that point, made eye contact with me and bit her lip with a smirk.
and muttered in a low voice
“… Yes. I wouldn’t be in the right place or right to say something like that to him. Whoever you meet, that’s up to you.”
Jin Ye-seul, who had been talking up to that point, looked at me again with sharp eyes.
“But do you know that? sister… So, she can use magic to manipulate people’s minds. No, it’s not the level of use, it’s a specialty. That’s why I took him to Urea. Oops, it’s really dangerous… .”
“I already know that.”
At those words, Jin Ye-seul was silent and closed her mouth once more.
Then he looked at me with a gaze that seemed to have a lot of things he really wanted to say.
“I know… ? Yet… .”
“As I said before, I didn’t ignore what you said. We had no choice but to meet for various reasons.”
“For many reasons.”
Although she was dissatisfied with my words, Jin Ye-seul nodded her head as if reluctantly understood.
Certainly, as Yeeun Lee said, the name of the world tree clan was really useful.
If something is difficult to explain, even if you say it in the nuance that it is related to the clan, the other person roughly understood it and moved on.
Even though she knew that I came from another world, she probably understood that there was something complicated about the name of the world tree clan.
“First of all, thank you for your concern. Still, there wasn’t anything that you had to worry about, so you don’t have to worry that much… .”
“Worry is who cares… !”
Jin Ye-seul made an angry expression and then took a deep breath as if managing her expression.
After a while, she asked me in a calmer voice if I had calmed down.
“What did you say, could you please tell me?”
“You worry… No, the stories I was worried about.”
At those words, the atmosphere changed.
I paused for a moment and looked at her.
Jin Ye-seul was looking at a place a little far from me, not me.
Still, I felt the chilling sensation of chicken flesh growing all over my body.
In fact, I had to calm the branches of the World Tree from wriggling in disgust with her.
“… no way.”
“He came to warn me, too.”
At those words, Jin Ye-seul’s eyes moved and contained me in her field of vision.
“Your mother… What the heck, you said something strange. Along with that story, he said the same thing to himself, and he said he came here to tell me not to worry because it will never happen.”
For a moment, even after I said it, I wondered if this was an absurd and nonsensical excuse.
Then it was time to add something.
“but… .”
Jin Ye-seul didn’t seem to feel anything strange even after hearing what she had just said.

On the contrary, she was nodding her head with an expression of understanding.
“If that person is still there… .”
Then he looked at me and hesitated for a moment and mumbled.
In fact, it had only been a few days, but it was as if she had not seen her for a long time, as if she had been hesitant.
“… and, what As my sister said, you don’t have to worry about such a thing. Just ignore what that woman, my mother, says. I would never do that. Do you know? And as long as my sister said it with her own mouth, it wouldn’t happen.”
I nodded at her words.
And she glanced at this side and said.
“And promise me now that you will never see me again.”
Having said that, she immediately opened her mouth as if making an excuse.
“Don’t be mistaken by any chance. I’m just in trouble if anything happens to you until I get all the inheritance. Like I said, it’s really dangerous and stupid to be alone with someone who has the ability to manipulate people’s minds… .”
“Yes, I promise.”
He nodded and added.
“So you don’t have to worry too much about my business.”
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul was silent for a moment at those words.
It looked as if he had been hit hard.
“… like.”
After a while, she nodded and managed to spit out an answer.
Then he turned his head and muttered in a low voice.
She would think she wouldn’t hear it, but it was obvious that she didn’t know that I, too, had developed five senses as well as her.
“Yeah, if we were going to meet anyway, I’d rather have an older sister. Even if the words are strange, at least common sense is embedded to some extent. If it were that woman… .”
Jin Ye-seul, who had been shaking her body as if she was getting goosebumps just thinking about it, stopped suddenly.
Then he looked at me, frowned and muttered as if asking a question.
“Wait, then maybe… Did you miss lunch because you talked to her? Is that so?”
“… … .”
The momentum was so brutal that I thought for a moment that he was trying to kill me.
I held out my hand as if to calm down.
“It’s not like that, but I talked to other people besides Jin Jeong-gyeong. There are a lot of people who asked to meet at lunchtime today.”
“So, after all, your sister is one of the reasons.”
Jin Ye-seul was still making an expression as if she didn’t like it.
Then, with a bang, the door opened and Lee Yu-na walked out from the side.
When she saw me and Jin Ye-seul talking to each other quite close, she opened her eyes as if a little surprised.
“ah.”
And then, as if fortunately, Lee Yu-na’s expression loosened, as if it were the expression of an adult watching young children playing.
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul’s expression hardened coldly, noticing her gaze.
His expression changed so quickly that he was startled for a moment.
“… I will go first.”
She swish and turned around and walked out.
“I would be grateful if you tell me that you are leaving early because you are not feeling well.”
Having said that, she suddenly opened the door and left.
Seeing this, Lee Yu-na approached me and asked.
“Uh, what is it? They weren’t reconciled… ?”
“There was no reconciliation.”
At that, she put on a sad expression on her face.
“I guess I messed it up again for nothing… .”
I shook my head as I watched her mumble in a muffled voice.
“Nope. Well done.”
Thanks to you, the atmosphere seems to have calmed down a bit.
With that said, I’m glad I did… He muttered and sighed a little.
I really wish I had, so I set out to take a class with Professor Grossman.
* * *
It seems like I’ve mentioned it several times, but Orge Academy is an educational institution that nurtures heroes and hunters.
And it can be said that the essence of a hero is to protect citizens and help them.
In that sense, it was not strange that community service activities were organized in regular classes.
“Come on, everyone. Please focus.”
Lev Dunkinson clapped and clapped as he stepped forward in front of the hustle and bustle of students.
Since he was so tall and handsome, naturally we were able to focus on him.
“My name is Rev Dunkinson, who has decided to lead and manage Class A today. Please have a good day today.”
He murmured in his characteristic languid voice.
“If you look at the paper we handed out in advance, each group will be written on it. And who the manager is. The leaders will come to me, organize their districts, and come back after work this afternoon.”
He unfolded the paper he was holding in his hand.
[Article 13 Leader – Yoo Ji-hyeok
Jo Won-Jin Ye-seul
Jo Won – Choi Hyun-woo
Jo Won-Han Soo-young]
“… … .”
I approached him after confirming the result that I thought had been rigged.
Rev Dunkinson skillfully assigned the territories to each of the captains gathered around him.
Actually, there was nothing special about the social service of the academy students.
It was ordinary things like walking around picking up trash, going to the requested organization and helping out, or having free lunch with volunteers.
And he glanced at the remaining me who had not been assigned a job until the very end and wrinkled one eye corner.
The only man with me. He smiled a little.
“Hey, thank you so much. I really didn’t know that things would be taken care of as soon as I spoke.”
“That’s nice.”
It seems that Yeeun Lee finished the phone call with me and got the job done right away.
Rev Dunkinson was smiling contentedly, as if he was really lucky.
“Aren’t you planning on joining the student council? I’ll take good care of you.”
“Thank you for the invitation, but I will decline.”
“I’m sorry, that. At least, I thought you would be more comfortable working with me than Yeeun Lee.”
Contrary to his words, he shrugged his shoulders, not showing much regret.
“Anyway, I deliberately worked a little bit so that I could be in the same group with your friends this time. Besides, your job is volunteer work, so you can just walk around and play.”
As he said that calmly, he nodded his head.
“This is just a token of appreciation for your help, and if you ever really need my help later, come and tell me. I put out the fire on the instep of my foot, so I’ll have to help out later.”
Saying thank you for his words and returning to the place where my crew members, the three of them, were, I felt like my body was already shivering with chills.
It was not, but the place where the three of them were gathered had a chilly energy, as if the temperature was several degrees lower than the surrounding area.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Han Soo-young and Jin Ye-seul pretended not to be, but were conscious of each other.
And as soon as he saw me, Hyun-woo Choi, who was sandwiched between the two of them and deliberately blocked the eyes of the two, showed a friendly expression on his face.
I feel it all the time, but I thought that he was also the type of person who had a hard time buying.
“Let’s split the group.”
When I told Rev Dunkinson about our role of street patrol, Han Soo-young opened her mouth.
“Why don’t we split the time in half and go separately at first and then go together later? That’s efficient.”
“Then how are you going to share it?”
At my question, Han Soo-young looked at Jin Ye-seul and said.
“Why don’t you and Yesul join the same group?”
“no.”
Hyun-woo Choi stopped him immediately.

Of course, it was something I wanted to stop.
“why?”
At Han Soo-young’s question, Choi Hyun-woo shook his head without saying a word.
Then, Han Soo-young began to look at her with a stern expression.
She flinched for a moment and looked at him as if she was not going to lose.
Meanwhile, Jin Ye-seul opened her mouth.
“Isn’t it okay if I and the captain are in the same group? Sooyoung, you’re just like Hyunwoo’s brother and sister, so there won’t be any inconvenience.”
“I don’t like that either.”
Han Soo-young responded bluntly.
And he added right away.
“As Yeseul said, I went with Hado, so now I want to go with someone else.”
Han Soo-young, who said that, glanced at me.
“Then, would you like to just go with Jihyuk and me?”
“I don’t like that.”
Jin Ye-seul murmured.
“I am actually very shy. Hyunwoo, it’s not that I don’t like him… It’s a little awkward for the two of us to go alone.”
“ha.”
It was a situation in which I breathed out a sigh of relief.
It was a situation in which we all wanted to go together, even if it was just a little uncomfortable.
“… … .”
I could see Choi Hyun-woo closing his eyes and muttering something silently.
And judging by the shape of his mouth, the cursing was clear.

Oh my God, is that guy swearing?
Before I was even surprised, Choi Hyun-woo walked between the two of them and cut in.
“Me, Sooyoung, and Yesul. The three of us go together like this, and Jihyuk goes alone with you.”
“What?”
“Wait, who are you? .”
Ignoring the backlash of Han Soo-young and Jin Ye-seul, Choi Hyun-woo looked around.
“Sooyoung said she wanted to go with you, Yesul. And did Yeseul say that you are shy? Even if I’m uncomfortable, swimming won’t be any better. is not it?”
“I… .”
Jin Ye-seul did not speak, but kept her mouth shut.
Choi Hyun-woo’s cold gaze is like, ‘Isn’t there the person you’re most uncomfortable with now than anyone else?’ seemed to ask.
“Then it was decided. We walk around like this for about two hours, and when the time comes, we get together here again and go together. What do you think?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Both Han Soo-young and Jin Ye-seul looked dissatisfied with Choi Hyun-woo’s words, but they chose to remain silent, perhaps because they had something to say.
When the story was finished, he walked over to me.
I looked at him with sincere gratitude.
‘done. If you came, the situation would have been even more chaotic. It was something only I could do.’
Choi Hyun-woo said with a tired expression on his lips.
It was a moment when I seriously wondered if there was anything I could do for him.
“Then do your best.”
“okay… Thank you.”
“What are you thankful for?”
With those words, he walked in the other direction with the two reluctantly moving.
After staring at him for a moment with eyes full of gratitude, I relaxed and looked around.
It was the first time that it was not on five streets.
There wasn’t really anything to do here.
‘Shall I buy you a present for Laune… .’
It was time to think like that and scan the shops on the street to see if there was anything I could salvage.
Boo Woong.
“Well.”
The phone rang.
It was Yeeun Lee’s phone.
