A being who changes the flow of this world.
It was a word that could never be taken lightly.
I tried to check it, but the status window was already in the process of being updated.
All I could confirm was the fact that there were four days and 13 hours remaining until the update of the status window was finished.
There was an explanation that the status window could be used little by little according to the elapsed time under it, but one thing is for sure, it was impossible to check anything right now.
change the flow
What does that mean?
The notification windows earlier than that were also meaningful.
The singularity of the scenario, and the change of the main scenario.
What is it and how does it change?
“… ttt.”
After thinking about it for a moment, he clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Even thinking like this now, nothing has changed.
Rather, it would be better to find the contents while checking the status window that has changed even a little when the update is over.
I went out and walked towards the warp gate.
Because time was time, the park was very quiet.
“… … .”
And there was a man standing blankly, looking over here.
He found me and took a small breath.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
Seeing my reaction, he nodded for a moment, then I took a step closer and rolled up his sleeve to reveal the inside of his arm.
It was the pattern of the red case.
“I didn’t come here with bad intentions.”
He immediately raised his hands as if surrendering.
Then he glanced around and whispered.
“I am a member of the Infiltrator, a guild. My leader sent me.”
Stealth, leader of the operation team.
She was currently hiding within the association and had a crush on the Seven Evils, who mimic the boss of the Red Case.
He looked at me as if to say more, and he sighed in relief.
“I thought I was going to die right away, but I’m glad I did. Our leader told us that half of the watering team died because of their ties with you.”
He acted extremely cautiously, as if I was some kind of pleasure killer.
At that sight, I lifted my fingers and pulled out Henir’s shadow and the branches of the world tree and began to surround him.
“I, there… … May I ask what you mean by this?”
“I’ll trust you for now.”
It was a lie.
I started doing everything I could to subdue him at any time.
Henir’s shadow surrounds him right next to him so that he can run out as a clone at any time and break his neck.
“But can you give me a little more faith? I also need insurance.”
“… Yes, it is.”
He remained silent while looking at Henir’s shadow and the branches of the World Tree as if anxious.
The woman I had met in Aegis before, even the woman who used that wave, created a siege so dense that it could not escape, and then nodded to him as if it was okay now.
“To start with, our leader said that he wanted to fight with him.”
“Would you like me to come into the Red Case?”
“No, not like that.”
He shook his head.
“Our infiltration and operation team decided to join the leader’s will. And he wants to take down the current boss.”
“Simply put, it’s a rebellion.”
“Yes.”
I nodded in interest.
“But why do I have to hold hands with you? To put it bluntly, I’m just an academy student, and I’m only a freshman.”
“Because you killed half the water team.”
He opened his mouth as if to say.
“And that has significantly reduced the watering team’s presence within the organization. It’s natural. Because missions kept failing and members of the crew kept dying. The problem is that in the meantime, sparks splattered for us as well. Two of our children were killed by the watering team leader in the name of failing to gather information properly. And one lost contact.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to start a rebellion because your hair is falling off?”
“We do. Because our lives are the most important to us. But our leaders are different. He… … You have a bigger purpose than that.”
He said so and quietly added to me.
“There were two things our leader wanted to convey. Do you have any plans to hold hands and fight? And be careful.”
Currently, the leader of the watering team is targeting you.
He shuddered as if in fear just thinking about it.
“The watering team consists of a total of three groups and one leader. A total of 10 people. And six of them died, so he said he would deal with it before further damage was done, and he declared not to touch anyone.”
“… Any other watering teams?”
“So I was told they were on a different mission now. Originally, we weren’t able to share information with each other, but after our kids died there, the connection was cut off… … I heard they’re working on something related to the Big Watch, but I don’t know the details.”
“What are the skills of the watering team leader?”
In fact, I knew his abilities.
To be precise, the watering team only remembered his abilities.
His ability was none other than a decrease in his status, as well as nullifying all skills, arts, and characteristics.
People who are within a certain distance from their starting point have their physical abilities drop to the extent that they are no different from ordinary people, and all abilities become unavailable.
And the same applies to the man who is the leader of the watering team.
In other words, everyone is no longer different from ordinary people.
But he didn’t care.
After using his ability like that, he always pulled the trigger of the gun he was carrying at the bewildered opponent, and it was all over.
As it is the ability to be destroyed when his abilities are revealed, he thoroughly hid his abilities, and even his subordinates killed them on the spot if their abilities were discovered.
Therefore, he had never failed a mission until now, and as the leader of the watering team, he gained considerable trust from the current Red Case boss, Chilakjong.
“Sorry, I’m sorry. that’s good for me too… … Can I tell you at least my abilities?”
He murmured as if he had no face.
“What is my specialty? reading the traces. It’s called psychometry.”
“I am not interested in you.”
“Oh, you see… … .”
He smiled shyly and looked into my eyes and asked.
“therefore… … How can I give you an answer?”
“Tell me to come and talk to you. We will share the story then.”
I said that and looked straight at him.
“Is your leader infiltrating the association right now? Your leader must have been the one who caused the Aegis to be attacked there? But now that it’s a public fight, the truth is that he was preparing to betray him… … There’s no way you can’t believe it when you hear something like that all of a sudden. is not it?”
“… Yes, I understand.”
He nodded.
“I will tell the leader that. then… … .”
“Oh, wait.”
Before going, I moved Henir’s shadow toward him once.
He flinched and fell.
“I think it would be better to give him a little more faith before we go.”
“What kind of faith are you talking about… ?”
“Well, for example, the belief that this situation itself wasn’t actually a trap or something like that?”
I said looking at him.
“Starting with your team members, such as the personalities and abilities of the members you know… … If you tell me all that, I think I will gain some confidence.”
With those words, Henir’s shadow and the branches of the World Tree began to press on him.
I smiled a little when I saw him with a sullen expression on his face.
I have not forgotten that the Red Case is one of those organizations that must one day be destroyed.
* * *
Eventually, all personal items such as notebooks and notebooks were taken from him and searched, and through the information he heard from him, he was able to roughly grasp the abilities and personal information of some members of the Red Case.
In fact, it could be said that it was more rewarding to be able to understand the current situation between Red Case and other organizations.
Simply put, the current situation was nothing more than a three-way war.
The Big Watch, the Thorns Cross, and the Red Case all looked at each other with thorns, he said, and there were occasions when they interfered with each other or even had armed clashes.
His colleague, Jamim, said that he was also in charge of various missions against the Thorn Cross Society and the Big Watch.
And considering various other situations and events, the three groups were indistinguishable from a situation where each of them was at once.
It was said that if there was a more direct opportunity, the vague idea of mutual annihilation might actually be possible.
In addition, I could see that I was trying to get the pendant I had recovered from the red case.
Also, the fact that their leader deliberately made a mistake in their mission.
It was a moment of a little more confidence.
When everything was over and I went back to the academy, it was already late at night, so I fell asleep right away.
“… Is this such a huge thing?”
And the next day, when I woke up early in the morning, as soon as I woke up, I took out the pendant I had hidden in Henir’s shadow and lifted it up.
No matter how you look at it, it was just an old pendant.
In the sequel, it was only used to shine when drawing cards.
I couldn’t use the status window, so all I could do was use my magic to look at it.
But there was no way I could find out what Han Soo-young, who was far superior to me, couldn’t figure out.
Eventually I decided to step out of the tank as if sunbathing and approach Mandragora, who was lying by the window, to show her the pendant.
The guy who had been basking in the sun slowly moved as I approached him.
“Come on, look. How do you see this? yes?”
The guy seemed to be obsessed with something that exuded strange energy or magical power.
If something like that is sleeping in this pendant, maybe he’ll react… … .
Tuk!
“Aww!”
The guy suddenly smashed the pendant.
Henir’s shadow caught it from falling to the floor and handed it to me.
When I looked up in surprise, Mandragora had risen from her seat and was furious with me.
“… ! … … !!!”
“What, why are you doing this?”
Mandragora jumped out of place and started showing various gestures.
He then pointed once with the root, which he used as a hand, at the pendant, and then suddenly pretended to strangle himself.
“… Don’t bring it close to you?”
At that, the boy nodded.
I don’t know why, but I thought there must be a reason, so I put the pendant back into Henir’s shadow.
“… … .”
Then, as if satisfied now, he picked up the dark cellophane paper he had been using like sunglasses again.
Then he looked around as if he had smelled something, and then came up to me and put out roots.
“… What?”
Then, as if not to hide, he shook the roots up and down once more.
His gaze was fixed on my right arm.
Could this be because of the dryad seeds carried by the branches of the world tree?
Thinking like that, a branch of the world tree slowly appeared from his right arm.
“… !”
Mandragora, who found it, was startled and immediately sat down.
Then, surprisingly, the branches of the World Tree were also shaking little by little as if they were communicating with him.
It was an absurd scene even for me watching with my own eyes.
“… … .”
It was quite a heartbreaking scene to keep watching.
I left the two of them alone and laid out the items Yuzuki Horie sent through the warp on the floor.
A sword featuring a black blade for Hyunwoo Choi.
A magic book for Han Soo-young.
And a necklace for Jin Ye-seul and Mirage’s gloves.
I put on Mirage’s gloves first.
However, it seemed that it was not possible to draw out the hidden power unless it was Jin Ye-seul, too.
To be honest, I didn’t even expect it, so I took it off and put it down carefully.
Since there will be no close combat like fighting, I thought it would be a good idea to hand it over to her as scheduled.
I’ll have to hand it over to you when we meet later.
With that in mind, it was time to pick up the necklace along with the gloves and slide it to one side.
For some reason, Han Soo-young instantly came to mind.
And the way she showed me the earrings.
Next, I asked her not to give this gift to anyone until she gave me the right answer.
For some reason, those words echoed in my ears.
“… … .”
I gently stroked the magic book with my hand.
Frankly, I still don’t know why she’s doing this to me.
no.
In fact, it was roughly what I expected.
fixed sensitivity.

Okay.
that’s probably because
So I couldn’t stand the disgust I felt against myself.
Whether it was intentional or not, it was because he was fooling other people’s hearts.
Therefore, her heart was burdensome and I had no choice but to feel guilty.
It was even more so because she was always kind to me.
It was when I was staring blankly at the things laid out on the floor.
The cell phone rang.
It was Han Soo-young.
“why.”
– why? Isn’t the reaction too cold?
Han Soo-young said that as if she was sad inside.
It was a time when I was still feeling complicated feelings for her, but at least it was like this.
“… … .”
does she really know
And if you find out, how will you react to me?
Should I just pretend I don’t know?

Or would you despise him?
Either he or he would say it’s still good because of his fixed favoritism, that system… … .
-hello?
“Uh, sorry. what?”
―You, me, and Hyunwoo, don’t you think we’ll meet together today?
She murmured as if she didn’t like something.
―What, are you still not awake? It’s already 9 o’clock. You can’t sleep late.
“No, like that. ok where to see I just had something to give you.”
―Well, see you in front of the library in an hour later. But what are you giving me?
“Well. What?”
-what… … it’s spicy.
Han Soo-young said that she would know then, and hung up the phone with a request not to be late.
I put my phone down and got up thinking that I should take a shower first.
Han Soo-young… … .

Okay.
Let’s just be like we are now.
that would be the best
It was time to make that promise.
[Part of the update is complete!]
[Part of the status window becomes available.]
[Update List ― A more detailed explanation has been added among the contents related to the status window. A function to know the approximate status of colleagues has been added.]
It was a reminder to stop walking.
As soon as I opened the status window, most of the functions were still locked, but some functions were available.
And in one corner of the status window, a new ‘colleague’ window was flickering.
“… … .”
When I touched it, the names of Han Su-young, Choi Hyeon-woo, Lee Myung-jun, and Jin Ye-seul were written in bold on the top.
Below that, the names of people like Yeeun Lee, Kass Lyle, Yuzuki Horie, Alice Blesbuck, and Lee Yuna were lined up in a blurry list.
Han Soo-young.
Hyunwoo Choi.
Myung-Jun Lee.
A separate mark was placed next to the names of these three.
As soon as I saw it, I knew what this sign was.
There was a clear indication that there was a fixed affinity.
As soon as I touched the mark, another explanation window popped up.
fixed affinity
― This is the number that has the most absolute effect on relationships.
A fixed crush doesn’t go away under any circumstances.
In general, the number of favorability ranges from 0 to 100.
By default, it starts at 50, and the number changes depending on a number of factors or events.

“… uh?”
what.
Without realizing it, I just mumbled blankly.
