“The location of the ley was all extracted from his brain. And important information too.”
After a while, Jin Ye-seul quietly opened her mouth as if she had calmed down.
For some reason she was crouching a little further away from me.
“Not here, Dmitry… where the man is guarding. And the Big Watch… ? it was They looked like they were holding hands with monsters too.”
“right.”
“The other two places are guarded by monsters. Each of them is the owner of some dungeon or a named monster.”
“What and what?”
“griffon. And Chimera.”
“Neither of them will be our opponents.”
I said that and looked at Jin Ye-seul.
“To be precise, Yesul can’t be your opponent.”
“… yes.”
“Where do you want to go?”
“From the nearest place. Chimera, then Griffon. The last one is Dmitry.”
Jin Ye-seul muttered quietly.
“I’m the type of person who usually eats strawberries last when eating cake.”
“okay. When I’m done, I’ll make you what you want.”
I answered her casually.
“Let’s put lots of strawberries on top and share it with the kids.”
“yes… uh? Wait, does Jihyeok even make you a cake?”
Jin Ye-seul looked at this with a bewildered gaze.
He looked at her as if he was wondering what the problem was.
“You know how to make it. You just have to follow the recipe.”
“then… .”
Jin Ye-seul muttered as if somehow discouraged.
And she said, ‘Even cooking… Then on the other side I… ‘ was heard muttering.
I wondered what he was talking about, and then I heard Sbangali’s small tongue click.
[Goodbye.]
What do you mean by going well?
I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t because Jin Ye-seul was right next to me.
“Let’s go out first.”
“Ah, yes.”
Jin Ye-seul and I walked out of the archives.
Then he picked up the phone and sent a text message to both Evangeline and Yeeun Lee at the same time.
Along with the location of this place, the archivist was the first lyric, and as it was successful in securing it, it was stated that they should send someone to occupy it.
In addition, he added that he would move immediately to secure another branch.
“Okay then, next… .”
I called Esmeralda.
It was because there were more things to ask for and things to apologize for.
But Esmeralda answered my call and spoke before I could say anything.
– kill it.
drop.
I called her again.
– What. Do you think you can become an excited pervert if you get insulted by a woman? this dirty… !
Esmeralda was still swearing at me like that with a sharp tone.
After letting her talk for a while, she opened her mouth quietly.
“I think I’d be relieved by that time, can I talk to you?”
— … And if I say no, won’t you fall for that person?
“No way.”
— … What. What else would you like to ask?
“I think it will be a little late. therefore… I want you to suffer just one or two more days.”
She added it right away, because she seemed to be making a sound.
“Please go to class, I won’t say that. You can just say you’re not feeling well and just rest. Go to Professor Evangeline and talk to him, and he’ll be flexible enough to help you out.”
– and? maybe that’s it?
“Before I spoke to Lydia… .”
drop.

Once again, looking at the hung up phone, I tilted my head.
Jin Ye-seul, who was looking at me from the side, muttered as she saw me like that.
“I think it’s because I broke my neck when I kicked it.”
“Really?”
I immediately called her again.
As soon as she answered the phone, Jin Ye-seul quietly approached her and opened her mouth.
“There you are, Auntie.”
– What, what? who are you… be you!
Esmeralda gritted her teeth and screamed, but Jin Ye-seul did not respond.
Rather, he turned his head to look at me and calmly even asked her name.
“Jihyuk, what is this person’s name?”
“Esmeralda Listener.”
“Ahh, Esmeralda Listennerger. It was wrong to kick you and crush your neck earlier. please forgive me. I apologize.”
Jin Ye-seul said so without changing her expression.
Then he glanced at me as if asking, ‘Did I do well?’
I was in the middle of being a little shocked by her attitude.
“Hey, Listener. did you hear it now? I’m really sorry, Yeseul. You can’t see it because it’s a phone call, but Yesul is making a very sorry expression right now.”
“yes that’s right. I’m sorry. Have you ever been in a lot of pain?”
― Are these crazy kites really out of their minds!!!
I had to keep the phone away because of her screaming and screaming.
Jin Ye-seul apologized, but why was she making such a face?
— … ha.
Esmeralda took a deep breath and muttered quietly.
― If I keep talking with you guys, I feel like I’m going to explode or die first from a vase… Get the gist and get out of here quickly.
“Yes, I will. Do it in the first place.”
I nodded as I listened to the crackling and grinding of teeth.
The story I had just heard from Jin Ye-seul was a story I had to tell.
The Red Case, Big Watch, and Milited’s children had to eat each other’s flesh and annihilate each other.
“Tell Lydia. The people I’m talking about now are the ones who colluded with the Big Watch.”
– What?
“Say it now. First of all, Arthur Naver… .”
– Come on, wait!
Esmeralda heard a creaking sound as if she was writing down the name I gave her.
After a while, Esmeralda, who had written down all the names I had told her, asked me.
— … But how did you find out?
“I’ll send an email to your cell phone. Because there’s evidence and everything. Yesul?”
“yes.”
Jin Ye-seul began to transmit all the evidence that could be evidenced through the ID and password obtained in his head.
After a while, Esmeralda muttered a little, apparently after checking the data.
– Unbelievable… .
“It turns out that he was one of Lydia’s close associates. It would be better to deal with it as soon as possible.”
— … I’ll report it to the boss right away.
“okay. That’s it.”
— … I’ll just cut it off Can I make an alibi as requested?
She asked in a more relaxed voice than before.
I replied yes and added a word.
“Oh, and if possible, can you tell me if you can put a little more effort into getting information about Milited’s children?”
— … … .
After a while, she answered in a voice that seemed to crawle.
– I’ll try.
With that said, the phone hung up.
There was nothing more to talk about, so I put the phone in my arms.
Jin Ye-seul was standing right next to him as if as an escort.
The two of us without a word moved towards the next ley.
* * *
“Kee!!!”
A sound like the scream of an eagle or the cry of a four-legged beast resounded from the sky.
Feathers were falling like snow from the sky with the sound of their wings flapping wildly.
I moved a little bit, made a screen with my hands, and looked up at the sky.
In the sky, a griffon screamed and flew like a stunt to tear something off his back.
[The griffon isn’t even a hen in some neighborhood chicken coop… .]
Sbengali just mumbled as if it were nonsense.
Then he looked at me and talked as if passing by.
[I’d rather get away from there.]
“What are you going to do?”
Immediately after, the wings of the griffon, which seemed to have been roughly ripped apart, fell over my head.
There was no need to escape, as he said.
It was because Henir’s shadow and the branches of the World Tree came out as if competing, tearing apart the wings that were falling towards me and blocking them.

Okay.
it is torn
Thanks to that, the fishy blood that spouted from the cross-section of those shredded wings swept over me.
“… … .”
Sbengali murmured as if laughing at me covered in griffon blood from head to toe.
[Because you should avoid that.]
Ignoring Sbengali’s tongue-in-cheek words, he wiped the blood that covered his eyes as if he was wiping it down with his hands.
As he looked ahead, he could see the shadow of Henir and the branches of the world tree wagging right next to him.
For some reason, both of them seemed confused.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey!!!”
[It will be over sooner than that.]
Sbangali muttered so.
I also disagreed with his opinion.
When I glanced up into the air, a griffon that had lost one wing was flapping its wings in a precarious way.
The horse was flapping its wings and falling almost vertically.
When I thought that it might be dangerous, I heard a loud and loud noise.
At the same time, the griffon’s head turned wildly to the side, and its beak shattered into pieces as if exploding firecrackers in the air.
Griffon was unconscious or dead, and there was not even a scream.
[It’s dead, but that one.]
… It was as he said.
Looking at the griffon’s weak neck and the purple tongue protruding through the broken beak, it seemed as if he had just been hit and died.
Immediately, something red and black was seen lingering and grabbing the griffon by the collar.
The griffon’s head, which swayed back and forth like a weight, was strangely disgusting.
[Oh my God, a human grabbing a griffon by the collar.]
Sbengali murmured as if it were ridiculous.
Soon, the protagonist of the story, Jin Ye-seul, fell to the ground while holding the griffon by the collar.
It was like riding a snowboard.
Jin Ye-seul, who was holding the griffon by the neck, jumped up with a kick as if the griffon’s body was getting close to the ground, as if trying to run with both feet as hard as she could.
woo woo woo!
It was a brief moment, but I could clearly see the griffon’s body quickly crashing to the ground as if accelerating.
Soon after, Jin Ye-seul, who had killed the falling momentum with the previous leap, landed with a flexible movement while twisting her body in the air.
If I could give it a score, it was a clean and perfect landing that I wanted to give a perfect score.
“It’s over… aah!!!”
However, as soon as Jin Ye-seul saw me, he screamed in horror.
I wondered if she was hurt, but then she rushed towards me in haste.
“Blood, blood! Jihyuk-ah, blood!”
“Oh, this is not my blood.”
“know! Still, there might be some kind of poison!”
With those words, Jin Ye-seul took off her coat without hesitation.
There was not a drop of blood on it, except for a slight scorched fire.
[The person who killed the griffon is clean, but the person watching from the side is covered in blood. If anyone sees you, you’ve caught everything!!!]
“Nope. Wait, I’m fine, Yeseul.”
“I’m not okay, yeah… .”
Jin Ye-seul, who was holding a robe in both hands, stopped when I spread out my hand as if not to come.
“What if you catch a cold? If you are infected with bacteria… .”
[Heh heh heh.]
Sbengali burst into laughter.
[How does it feel to be worried about the woman who pulled out three Chimera’s heads with force to make them face each other, and beat the griffon to death?]
“… Then, I will contact Evangeline, Nu, and the head of the household. I ask the people who come to occupy this street to pick up some tools for simple body washing and some clothes and send them to me. Can you do that?”
“Then just wear it for a while.”
Jin Ye-seul recklessly tried to hand me the clothes.
I took a step back and said.
“It’s too small for me to wear.”
At those words, Jin Ye-seul tore off her outer garment without hesitation.
Then he made it like a poncho and said with a smile.
“Is this okay?”
“… … Oh, thank you.”
If I refused more here, I would take off other clothes as well, so I quietly took the shirt she handed me and put it on my shoulder.
To be drenched in blood with ragged clothes on top.
I took out my cell phone, wondering what other people would think when they saw it.
Seeing me like that, Jin Ye-seul smiled as if she was proud of me, then pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off my face.
“Okay, wait a little bit and people will come.”
After sending all the text messages, Jin Ye-seul slowly stepped back and nodded her head.
“yes.”
He paused for a moment, looking at her, who was still in good shape.
I wondered if it was right to bring this up, but no matter how much she wanted it, she could remember that all day long, she hunted monsters that other heroes and hunters, such as Chimera and Griffon, alone would not have dared to do, one after another.
It was a time when my stamina gradually reached its limit.
“Because I’ve been wandering around without sleeping for almost two days now… Yesul knows how you feel, but when people come, let’s rest for a while and start moving again.”
At that, Jin Ye-seul paused for a moment.
But it was only for a short time.
“… I will.”
“okay. well thought out.”
Jin Ye-seul carefully folded the handkerchief and put it in her pocket and nodded.
Saying so, I sat down.
Then Jin Ye-seul quickly sat down next to me.
“Whew… .”
“… I feel sleepy because Jihyuk listens to you.”
Jin Ye-seul muttered like that.
I said looking at her looking really tired.
“Would you like to keep your eyes closed until people come?”
“yes.”
Saying so, she naturally lay on her side and put her head on my thigh.
Without saying a word to her actions, he took off the robe he was wearing over his shoulders and covered her legs.
Then she turned her head slightly and looked at me with a smirk and a smile.
“I’m sleeping.”
“… yes.”
Shortly thereafter, a loud sound of breathing was heard.
I guess I’ll just be tired.
As I was thinking about it, I felt her mumble and gently rub her head against my leg.
I just patted her on the back, correcting her posture so that she could rest more comfortably.
It was in the meantime.
Boo Woong.
I heard the phone vibrate.
It was neither mine nor Jin Ye-seul’s.
It was the cell phone of the man who had been killed in the archives.

On the screen of the phone was written Dmitry.
[found.]
It was written that way on the screen.
I looked through the texts he and Dmitry had exchanged in the meantime, and then sent the text back.
[What?]
[The traitor.]
Soon after, another text message arrived.
[Jin.]
[She is still alive.]
[The location is specified. I’m going to go take care of it right now.]
