“Sir, hold on. If you get more excited than this, it’s hard on the body… .”
The man’s head turned sideways with the sound of a loud bang.
The giant man, Randsch, bowed his head as if apologies to the man who slapped him in the face.
“… Excuse me. It was off topic.”
“Yeah, good to know. Then shut your mouth.”
Milited, who slapped Randsch in the face with his fist, groaned and leaned back into the chair.
Unidentified coffins and tubes were attached to his body.
“How the hell did nobody know until Minerva came in and messed things up? Who is in charge of the city that has been burned down?”
“It’s a red-haired skeletal. He is the leader of the orc horde who led the tribesmen four years ago and swore obedience to their master.”
“You pay for it.”
“Yes.”
Randsch gave a short answer and bowed his head.
There was no need to tell the story that the orc had already burned to death along with the city, as it only provoked the owner’s anger. The price was what his people, if not him, would have to pay. It wasn’t important enough to report to the owner in the first place.
“… What about those two? Haven’t you found it yet?”
Randsch answered Milited’s question quietly again.
“Yes. Anyway, Belluna and Gracius are working hard right now, so please wait a little longer… .”
Milited raised his hand to interrupt him, as if he didn’t want to hear it.
“Whatever happens, find it. If I do something wrong, Randsch, I will accuse you of all sins, starting with you.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Milited waved his hand as if to leave just then.
Randsch stepped back and closed the door, and Milited, who was finally alone, sighed heavily.
“Ugh… .”
Shattered and shattered by Minerva, the body still complained of terrible pain.
In addition, she was covered in poison, which boasts the most devastating and powerful poison among the Seven Evils, so she had to recuperate for at least several months.
But this kind of thing was pretty good.
The reason he is uncomfortable now is that the whereabouts of the pendant’s owners, Yoo Ji-hyuk and Han Su-young, are unclear.
At first, I thought it might have been killed by Minervana Venus, but in frustration, Venus roared like a scream and made a violent storm for days and days. From the appearance of the two, I could guess from the fact that they were still alive and not dead.
“… … .”
Milited exhaled slowly and began to recall what had happened that day.
It was only after a long time that he finally came to the conclusion that he couldn’t remember anything, so he couldn’t shake the discomfort.
There was no way I couldn’t remember anything.
The part of the body that had apparently disappeared and the part of the power that disappeared as if being robbed was evidence of that.
If he had consumed so much power, he could not have known.
“Besides… .”

Once I started to have doubts, there were a couple of things that didn’t make sense.
A blank of memory, as if it had been cut cleanly.
First of all, very slow recovery.
At first I thought it was due to Minerva’s poison, but… .
“No, that woman’s poison has no such power. If there was, I would have used it earlier. It must have been used first on Venus or Juno. Then why… .”
Milited began to mumble in a calm voice.
It was a habit of his that often appeared when he was organizing his thoughts or contemplating something.
“The lost power, the blank of memory… no way… .”
pendant.
He was confident that he knew more about the guide stone than anyone else.
He was also well aware of the fact that all beings who had used the pointer stone to make contact with the owner through time would lose all memories of contact with the owner when the owner returned to their original time.
The source and source of the lost power.
Then, he wondered whether Yoo Ji-hyeok would use himself as a reward and return to the original time period, but he quickly calmed his excitement.
“No, no. If it were, I wouldn’t have even remembered it in the first place.”
I couldn’t even guess what happened.
It was when he reached out to the wine bottle next to him in frustration as if there were thorns stuck inside.
“master!”
Randsch’s urgent voice.
Then, before the knocking could be finished, the door opened violently.
Milited, who was instantly irritated, immediately opened the door and got up from his seat as soon as he saw the person who came in.
It was Yoo Ji-hyuk and Han Soo-young who opened the door and entered.
“alcohol? It looks good to sell.”
“Oh no, it’s okay! I am so glad!”
At Yoo Ji-hyuk’s words, Milited quickly put down the bottle he was holding.
Despite his sarcastic remarks, Milited just smiled brightly and jumped off the throne barefoot.
The last time he remembers Yoo Ji-hyuk was fighting Minerva and running towards the sea. In addition, he had committed an inexcusable betrayal of selling Yoo Ji-hyeok for his own safety, so he was worried that he might return the contract related to the pendant to a story that never happened.
“okay. Someone almost killed Minerva, but somehow he managed to survive.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk said so and looked at Han Soo-young behind him.
“I barely survived thanks to my companions coming to help. In the meantime, I was late for healing and recuperating my wounds, but did you hear that your side put a bounty on us?”
“Tongue, a bounty… what sound… ?”
In fact, Milited, who had instructed Yoo Ji-hyeok and Han Su-young to bet a bounty worth more than enough to buy a castle, muttered as if he knew nothing.
Then Randsch quickly knelt on the spot and smacked the floor hard with his forehead. He said that he tore his skin harder than steel and hit his forehead on the floor so many times that blood gushed out.
“Sorry, that was my order. They were worried about the safety of the two of you, so it seems that the people below misunderstood what they were instructed to do.”
The giant man continued to put his forehead on the floor while talking.
Milited, seeing this, smirked and spit out an anger.
“To whom are you showing your dirty blood now?”
“master… I, it.”
“Shut up!”
Milited snarled in a bloody voice and spun around as if it were being shot, kicking Randsch.
The giant man flew powerlessly and crashed into the wall, and Yoo Ji-hyuk, who naturally moved as if to protect Han Soo-young, was looking at the smoke that revealed their insides with a sad expression.
“I will ask about your sins as soon as the situation is settled.”
At Milited’s shout, Randsch staggered and crawled out the door, and Natalia Milited came in as if waiting.
“master.”
“What, it’s you this time. Natalia.”
She continued speaking in a polite manner.
Better than Randsch. Yoo Ji-hyuk looked at her and gave her a score for their acting.
“I know it’s rude, but I’m here to tell you that the bath is ready. It seems that the customers are tired… He also told me to prepare a meal quickly now.”
“Oh yeah. right. I was stupid.”
Milited nodded.
Yoo Ji-hyeok chewed his mouth a little at his contrived and embarrassing appearance, and Sbangali, who didn’t have to hold back, burst into laughter, saying that he suffered so much.
“For now, both of you should get some relief from blood. And why don’t we talk after we’re full? The chefs I have are pretty good. There… okay! I’ll take a bath and send the waiters to you right away.”
At his words, Yoo Ji-hyeok and Han Soo-young gently exchanged glances.
After exchanging glances like that for a while, Han Soo-young nodded slightly, and for some reason, Yoo Ji-hyuk, who was looking at her nervously, barely opened his mouth.
“Yeah, then.”
He added in a low voice.
“Because I had a serious story to share with you anyway.”
* * *
“Whew… .”
Han Soo-young let out a languid sigh as she lay down in the large bathtub.
As I immersed myself in the hot water, I felt like my body relaxed and even my eyelids became heavy.
Natalia and other people who had followed her to the bathroom to serve as a servant were kicked out of her as if she didn’t need it, and she rubbed her face with both hands as if washing her face.
“… … .”
She leaned her head behind her blankly and looked up at the water-dropped ceiling.
I just looked at the water drops falling with such a clever sound.
Her mind was filled with stories she had shared with Yoo Ji-hyuk before returning to this era again.
“Why did I do that… .”
Han Soo-young muttered blankly.
The words he had spoken to him echoed in his ears like echoes.
‘… Jihyuk, don’t you have anything to hide from me?’
I was going to ask a gentle question, but somehow I ended up asking like an interrogation.
Embarrassed, I even added these words.
‘I won’t even ask you to tell me everything. just tell me this hiding from me I have?’
She covered her face as if blaming herself and muttered as if crying.
“If you talk about meeting Ariman and then say that, of course you seem suspicious… .”
Yoo Ji-hyuk’s bewildered look.
Before long, his face was filled with guilt and anguish and hesitating.
All the truths that another self told me that came to mind afterward.
[This world is a world in a game.]
“… … .”
It’s a game world.
Me, Hyeonu and Master, this world.
It was all just nothing more than a dream.
Han Soo-young let out another deep sigh without realizing it.
[And Jihyuk knew the game we were playing.]
[It’s a funny story, isn’t it? The fact that everything in our lives was decided from start to finish.]
[I can’t believe it. … Actually, I still can’t believe it. I don’t want to believe But, but after seeing it, I couldn’t help but believe it.]
[And around that time.]
[The thing that Ariman came to me.]
[It was really dark back then. The Seven Evil Bells are released one after another and run rampant, the world is collapsing, and instead of gaining strength, even surviving day by day is overwhelming… I didn’t know anything about the real criminal who killed Ji-hyeok and Hyeon-woo.]
[At that time, he suddenly came to me.]
[I think there is no reason to live anymore… He proposed to me, even contemplating suicide.]
[I will help you take revenge, and I will tell you the truth of this world and all the stories of you and Yoo Ji-hyuk.]
[So, promise not to take your own life.]
[…] What do you think I would do?]
[Did I say never do business with Ariman or talk to him? It’s a shame, but the reason I said that was because I had already done business with him.]
[okay… I did.]
She had literally given her everything she had learned in exchange for her life.
It was because he did not want to see the future where Yoo Ji-hyeok, Choi Hyun-woo, and Nam Hyun-hwa died again.
It was also because he didn’t want another self to follow the same train.
[I said that Ariman’s goal is us.]
[To be precise, the main characters in this world are the targets.]
[He was expecting something from me. That’s why I was trying to prevent him from dying before he could achieve something.]
[At the same time, he said this while telling me the truth about Jihyuk.]
“It should not exist in this world.”
He said that he called Yoo Ji-hyuk that way.
In addition, the main characters, which is Ariman’s goal, including Han Soo-young, must somehow exclude such ‘existences that should not exist in this world’.
exclusion.
Simply put, it was the sound of death.
“… … .”
Han Soo-young quietly closed her eyes.
However, even with his eyes closed, another figure of himself was emerging rather clearly.
[…] What would I do if such a situation came?]
[And what about Jihyuk? What did you say?]
[Was I really just a being in the game to that child?]
[If not… Was it real?]
[I wanted to ask, I wanted to know.]
[But now I can’t.]
[But you are different. you are different from me… .]
[So… .]
“ha… .”
A sigh of relief continued to come out of my frustrated heart.
I also wanted to ask him.
To you, is it just Han Soo-young in the game, or is it just Han Soo-young?
No, all of us, including me, are just a fleeting dream to you.
what if.
If you could go back, and when you do, how will you remember us?
“… … .”
So she tried not to show off, and somehow tried to keep this fact alone.
It was because I fully understood how difficult Yoo Ji-hyeok’s position must have been and how painful he must have been.
So, when he confessed that he came from another world, even if it was hard, I just wanted to be his strength.
But now… .
“no… I can’t really think of it like this… .”
Han Soo-young muttered like that and shook her head.
As if for nothing, she immersed herself in the water up to the tip of her head as if diving, then floated up with a popping sound.
That was then.
It was the sound of wet footsteps in her ears.
“… what?”
I was told no one would come in.
Thinking like that, she turned her head to the place where the footsteps came, and quickly spread her hand out.
Looking at the thin needle that was blocked by the intangible membrane and bounced off, Han Soo-young wanted something else this time.
“Fast.”
It was a creepy voice.
Han Soo-young, who turned her head at the sound of a popping bubble, was startled without realizing it and pulled her head back. Because it was such a disgusting sight.
“Our master is looking for you.”
It looked like a mixture of frogs, fish, and humans.
They were about the size of a child, and in their hands were holding objects covered in moss and algae.
Among them, the guy who looked like a boss, holding something like a wind gun in his hand, puffed up his cheeks.
“The master of the sea has told me to bring you. Follow me gently… !”
It couldn’t be uttered until the end.
Han Soo-young, who knew that no matter how monstrous it was, could not speak if its head exploded, and that it would lead to death, muttered, shaking her hands, which were soaked in the green, sticky fluid.
“What is this again?”
Han Soo-young thought quietly.
Well, it turned out to be fine after I was frustrated.
