I felt goosebumps all over my body.
Without a word, I began to take a closer look at the text that Hyunwoo Choi and her had exchanged.
Recognizing that the opponent was Hyeon-Hwa Nam, I looked into it, and there was definitely something strange about the content of the text.
[Now that I look at it, I can clearly see that the other side is perplexed.]
It was as Sbangali said.
If you look at the contents of the text, Hyun-woo Choi thanked the other person at that time, and I want to repay him.
It started like this, and if it’s okay with you, can I ask which guild you belong to, how did you train to become so strong, and I really respect that person.

On the other hand, Nam Hyeon-hwa’s answer was very sharp and determined as if he had been cut with a knife.
At first, the response that said, “It’s not a big deal, you don’t have to worry about it, I’ll take my heart,” became shorter as time went on, saying “No, it’s okay”, and then turned into no response at the end.
In the end, Choi Hyun-woo said that he would like to meet and thank him if it wasn’t a real inconvenience, and he replied that it was really okay, so I hope he wouldn’t contact me any more.
… how do i do this
Choi Hyun-woo, who must have been in pain because he could not speak properly, and Nam Hyun-hwa, who must have struggled with embarrassment, seemed to be visible at the same time.
As I was holding my phone with a very troubled expression, Choi Hyun-woo asked cautiously.
“… Should I quit too?”
“uh? uh, no… Well, that’s not it.”
While talking with him, I told Sbangali to memorize Nam Hyeon-hwa’s number just in case, and he grumbled.
[Do you know what kind of subordinate I am? Aren’t you and I a symbiotic relationship? At least give me a favor, not an order.]
Not symbiosis, but parasitism.
As he responded to that, Sbangali muttered quietly.
I can’t be bothered to fix it.
“Well… To be honest, we haven’t seen each other since we met, have you? Besides, he said he was busy with work, so I think that’s why he softly refused.”
“… Is it too?”
Choi Hyun-woo looked as if he had already expected it.
Seeing the open grass dead, I decided to wrap up the situation so that he wouldn’t get hurt as much as possible.
“I said that I have been busy with my own words, so it must be true. Besides, we’re still students, aren’t we? To be honest, I think it might be because it’s hard to take it seriously from the other person’s point of view. Why, you also said that Lee Hye-rin is too young to be seen as a dating target.”
Hearing my words, Hyunwoo Choi nodded with a serious expression.
“That, what… It’s kind of hard to say something like this to someone who asked for help. I think it must be difficult.”
“ha… .”
Choi Hyun-woo let out a deep sigh that made the listener depressed.
And he muttered with a really, really sad expression on his face.
“… If I had known it would be like this, I would have been in a relationship for a while and suffered a heartbreak.”
This is a lot harder than I thought.
Seeing him muttering helplessly, I put my hand on his shoulder and gently patted him.
Looking back, Choi Hyeon-woo was popular with the opposite s*x, but he had never been in a relationship or unrequited love.
Even though I have received a lot of confession, I have a responsibility to focus on my training, not to taint Master’s name, and to be alert to protect my family, Han Soo-young.
And that was the reason why Choi Hyun-woo’s own serious personality harmonized.
… But, it must have been the first time that this guy was looking for unrequited love, even his master.
It could be said that helping him break his heart as quickly as possible.
I just patted him without saying a word to appease him.
“… What are you doing now?”
Meanwhile, Han Soo-young was looking at us with an expression that seemed to have seen something strange.
I slowly put my hand on his shoulder and answered.
“It’s been a long time since I was treated properly by Ahn Do-hoon, so I was comforting him.”
“Uh, really?”
Han Soo-young opened her eyes and came closer.
Then he looked at Choi Hyun-woo and said to him.
“Hyeonu, did you lose to him?”
“yes… Well, if you fight, you might lose. Do-hoon isn’t even a weak kid.”
Choi Hyun-woo slightly avoided her eyes and muttered like that.
Then, Han Soo-young kicked his tongue, shook his head, and slapped his shoulder hard until it made a clattering sound.
“100 million!”
“What is that, so sagging! It’s been a while since I’ve been out, but I can’t even enjoy it!”
Han Soo-young shouted that and put her hands on Choi Hyun-woo’s shoulder and back and began to forcefully straighten it.
“Come on, straighten your back! Straighten your shoulders! If you’re more upset than that, why didn’t you tell this sister earlier? Would you like me to buy you a cup of coffee?”
“What kind of sister are you, shorter than me… Whoops!”
“Our Hyunwoo, you’ve grown a lot… ?”
As soon as he heard that he was small, Han Su-young frowned and began to choke Choi Hyun-woo’s neck with a skillful figure.
The technique was so neat that Choi Hyun-woo didn’t even think to get out, so he quickly tapped Han Soo-young’s arm.
Han Soo-young, who was strangling Choi Hyun-woo with a bloody smile, trembled as if in shock and startled.
Then, he glanced at me, and as soon as our eyes met, he started to laugh awkwardly and hehehe.
As the tight arms were released, Choi Hyun-woo grabbed his neck and coughed violently.
“Collock, Collock… !”
“Eh, ah… Hyunwoo. It’s tough… Jihyuk will be misunderstood. You were just pretending to be squeamish, weren’t you?”
Han Soo-young, who was patting Choi Hyun-woo’s back with his head down, looked at me.
I flinched and trembled for a moment, as if it wasn’t her, and quickly waved my hand to make excuses for me.
“Oh, no. Ji-hyuk. It’s just that Hyeonu is overdoing it a bit. I’m not like this.”
“Uh… okay.”
I felt like I was choking for some reason, so I stroked my neck without knowing it.
Then I could feel the texture of the necklace she put on me very vividly on my fingertips.
“Whew… What, by the way, where did Yeseul go?”
When Choi Hyun-woo said that while stroking his neck, Han Soo-young answered immediately.
“Oh, right. Yeseul asked me to wait for about 10 minutes because she had something to do alone for a while. I was going to talk about it, but it went the other way.”
Apparently, he had been away for a while to injure the statue of Minerva.
Come to think of it, it was only a short distance from here to the square where the stone statue was placed.
“Then why don’t we sit near us and wait?”
We sat nearby and waited for Jin Ye-seul.
Then, Han Soo-young looked at me and asked.
“By the way, Jihyuk, do you keep in touch with that senior Yeeun Lee?”
“Lord?”
When I asked, Han Soo-young nodded slightly.
“You call me the lord… Anyway, yes. The two are distant relatives.”
Here, Han Soo-young swung her fingers in the air quite naturally.
Then, it was not difficult to feel the formation of an intangible film surrounding the three of us.
It was a barrier that made it impossible for others to hear or see the conversations we had.
“Even though it’s a story I made up so that other people don’t see it as strange.”
“Oh, it should be… .”
I nodded and glanced at Han Soo-young.
“Sometimes it seems like Jihyuk is acting like he really is his younger brother. So I asked Kim, who suddenly came to mind.”
“Well, he treats me like a real little brother.”
“… uh?”
“I will have to repay this favor later, that’s what I think.”

Only she knew whether she thought of me as a real sister, or he or something else.

One thing is certain, Lee Ye-eun, who has a clear division of construction, is very friendly to me.
… So, even with 18.2 billion won and 75 million won, he probably didn’t blink an eye.
If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to say it as if it wasn’t such a big deal.
“… Hmm, okay?”
Han Soo-young muttered quietly like that.
Hyun-woo Choi, who sensed that there was something strange in the atmosphere, quickly looked around and muttered.
“But doesn’t it seem like the street is very cluttered?”
“Oh, that’s right. It really is.”
I quickly countered his words.
He murmured, looking around with deliberately exaggerated actions.
“Are there any festivals? I have never heard of such a thing.”
And seeing that, Sbangali let out a squeaky sound.
[You, to that boy, do well in the future. It’s hard to find someone who takes such a risk to save someone else’s life.]
Even if you don’t say it, I know it well.
I was thinking like that.
“Did you make me wait?”
Jin Ye-seul came back with a light step.
She looked at me and closed her eyes once deeply and then opened it.
It meant success.
“I’m sorry, but I’m going to the bathroom.”
Minerva in a stone state does not lose its power even if it is wounded, and even if it is wounded, it will return to its original state after a certain period of time.
I had to move as quickly as possible because I couldn’t let the hard work she had prepared for me.
“Ah, then I… !”
“Hyunwoo.”
Choi Hyun-woo, who was about to get up from his seat, looked at Han Soo-young with a slumped posture.
Han Soo-young said to him with a smile.
“sit down.”
“uh? No, I’m in the bathroom… .”
“Did you lie to me earlier?”
Han Soo-young was still looking at him with a smiling face.
“When you lie, your eyes look top right and then bottom left. In the meantime, pout your lips. Did you know that?”
I thought it was a secret, so I just wanted to pass it on.
she muttered quietly.
“sit down. It’s been a while since we’ve known each other and we should talk together.”
I got out of there like a quick run away.
It was because of the thought that Jin Ye-seul’s sweaty work could not be made in vain.
[Really cowardly and petty… You left the person who saved you before and ran away. I’m going to be killed by someone who doesn’t know this kind of morality!!!]

On the way, I covered the mouth of the guy who was talking nonsense and quickly entered into the surrounding secluded alley.
I could feel my body being sucked into the shadows as if it was melting right away.
It was the ability of Henir’s shadow that I had been using for a long time.
I immediately opened my eyes and moved to where the statue of Minerva was.
Naturally, the statue of Minerva was almost a landmark in the area and was an important tourist attraction.
If you try to get on top of the statue without thinking, it’s the perfect sound to get people’s attention.
But if you ride in Henir’s shadow and move in it, you won’t be caught at all.
I moved like that and headed towards Minerva’s wing.
There was a scratch the size of a fist on the tip of the wing.
It was clear that Jin Ye-seul had made it.
[…] huh? Did you hurt Minerva’s body?]
Behind Sbangali, who murmured as if she had seen something she could not see, I quickly reached out and touched the scratched area.
Even at this moment, the scratches were being filled little by little.
What I was trying to do was not to make a bigger cut through this blemish.
It was simply to plant the seeds of the world tree that I had created with my own abilities in his scratches.
“… done.”
The seeds of the World Tree disappeared in an instant as if buried in a stone statue.
I closed my eyes and started to check if it was properly connected to me and if I could move as I wanted.
Then Sbangali mumbled quietly, in a voice that was truly unexpected.
[…] crazy guy I hope you mix my energy and plant seeds.]
As he said, I mixed his power with the seeds of the World Tree and planted them in Minerva’s body.
I wanted to do several if possible, but it was impossible to create this ideal.
“… great.”
You can feel the seeds taking root and moving inside the stone statue.
It would be impossible for the roots of an old tree to split rocks, but at least it would have given Minerva a different kind of pain when he woke up.
“If you wear the energy of the Seven Seven Devils, you can injure the same Seven Seven Devils. That’s why the other Seven Evils had also hurt Minerva. It’s all the story I shared with you.”
[But in that case, her powers do not disappear.]
“You don’t know who wounded me first before I planted this seed? Yesul is a child who has nothing to do with the Chilakjong.”
[no way… .]
“okay.”
The seeds of the world tree that fell out of my body dries up and dies after a few hours or half a day at most.
However, thanks to the combination of abilities mixed with Yeeun Lee’s world tree, it did not dry out even after a few days.
Not only that, but everything, such as the seed’s own vitality and ability, was even strengthened.
I smiled a little as I watched his surface crack.
“Suddenly, plant roots burst out from the inside of the wing, and if you rush through it with the Aegis system, it will stop moving. At that time, even a small scratch is fine for Yesul, so all you have to do is inflict a wound. Then the power disappears.”
[…] How do you plan to approach it? she has wings Of course, it sounds like it’s flying in the sky.]
“Did you forget how I just got on this statue? Just in case you don’t know, Yesul can move just like me.”
[Huh… .]
He murmured in admiration.
[I was serious. I was really, really serious about killing Minerva.]
“Then was it a lie?”
Saying so, I nodded my head slightly.
“great. Now that the business is over, let’s go back to the kids… ?”
At that time, something shimmering in front of me forced me to stop talking.

Or what we called the status window.
It was because it appeared in a lump in front of his eyes.
And it was something I had never seen before.
“This… .”
