#128. It doesn’t matter now.
I had to be strong.
If a child is truly a child born with a destiny to save the world, then I should be able to at least stand on the same level as Yoo Shi-hwa by becoming far stronger than in my previous life.
“Ha… Ha ha…”
“Lady. More than that…”
“No… Just one more time… I’ll do it one more time…”
“If you do more than that and even collapse, I think the president will be upset.”
When the butler held out a water bottle, I accepted it as a sign of accepting his offer.
“…Please stay here tomorrow as well.”
“I can do anything for the training ground, but would it be okay if I asked why you are doing this?”
Looking into the butler’s worried eyes, I answered briefly.
“I need it.”
“Even now, it seems that you are far above the level of the aspirants.”
“…Because I’m not aiming for other aspirants.”
I thought it would be a complaint if I kept talking, so I grabbed my head, which was lacking in oxygen, to return.
“It’s good to work hard. What. Now go back.”
First, I pushed the door of the training ground and took a deep breath.
After I got home and went into the bathroom to take a shower, my limbs started to suffer from the recoil of intense training.
My limbs were trembling, and it felt like there was not even a handful of magical power left in me.
You can feel the right temperature as soon as you put your feet in the bathtub.
I pushed my body inward and lowered my upper body down so that my nose touched the water.
“Can I…”
I couldn’t picture the scene where I broke Yu Shi-hwa.
It was me who knew her appearance in a previous life.
A utopia for hunters who use all spears.
Certain magic that annihilates monsters.
She was like a wild beast on the battlefield.
But it wouldn’t be any worse to let go of that.
I had to take care of myself so that I could come to the most stable and reasonable conclusion to choose me.
“Inwook-ah…”
I should have asked him to do it raw that day rather than pierce the condom.

After talking with the author and Sihwa, I returned home and sat down in front of the computer.
[Jinhae]
I searched the Internet window, but nothing came up yet.
It was clear that the association was still controlling information to prevent confusion.
As the author said, it is a strong situation that the story comes and goes only inside.
It must have been similar in previous lives.
It was the year we graduated from the academy.
Up until just before that incident, the association and the general public had taken a very easygoing attitude.
It was inevitable.
Unless it was a fact that the gate collapsed and monsters burst out, the association could not hastily gather all S-class hunters to Jinhae.
Some experts have argued that a great monster is clearly emerging, which is beyond our expectations, but this was only a small part and did not gain the support of the majority.
The reason was simple.
The maximum horsepower that the radar can detect is 5000.
It could be seen that it was about the average value of level 5, but the randomly observed value in Jinhae was fixed at 5000 as if the number 5000 was insufficient.
Of course, the association diagnosed it as a temporary error or a malfunction of the device.
However, their complacency was the worst disaster since Busan.
“Whoah… What about this…”
To be honest, I can only explain how lucky I was to defeat a level 5 monster in Busan.
Sihwa and I were right there, and the author even gave me the location of the core, so I was able to block it with just that much damage.
However, level 6 was a sound that could hardly be reached with three people.
It would be possible to suppress at least 10 S-class people on the spot.
The fastest route is to talk to Harin and ask her to find out…
She was definitely the one who would help out faster than anyone else if I asked her to take a look.
I didn’t know if the hunters belonging to the GW would be able to ask for some cooperation.
I wanted to hold on to my cell phone and contact you even now, but I decided not to.
It was never a good habit to keep trying to depend on them.
And if what the author said was not true, it was Harin who had to bear her losses.
At least you’d have to be there after confirming that the guy was actually there to ask for help.
Ha… How the way…
In the end, the most accurate thing was to go down there myself.
It seemed better to go there and find out the truth, even if there was an excuse.
If you really see signs like that…
I had no choice but to think about the reason for the change in the future.
There is only one difference between this life and the previous life.
The fact that I and my ex-wife returned.
If nothing has changed but the future has changed, there is a strong possibility that our return is inevitably the reason.
The spirit of the beginning…
I had to somehow contact the spirit of the beginning.
Clearly he knew the truth.
I closed my eyes, praying earnestly that you would appear in my dream tonight.

The next day I made up my mind to go down to Jinhae.
I decided to open a group chat room.
[Do you want to invite Ha-rin Yoon, Shi-hwa Yu, and Ye-na Ha to the chat room?]
I swallowed my saliva and touched the Yes button.
There could have been a way to reach out to each and every one of them, but then I was told that I had to repeat the same explanation three times.
[I had a story to tell, so I made it.]
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Numbers that disappear as soon as you hit the first chat.I never thought that everyone would see it all at once.
[What is it?]
A poem that punishes with a short answer.
I copied the description into the notepad and copied it.
I heard about Jinhae yesterday, how similar it was to the events in my previous life, so I decided to go check it out myself.
I wrote that it was written down as much as possible, but when I put it on, there were no bricks.
Replies that have not come for a while.
Everyone seemed to be reading hard.
[But Inuk-ah. I think it would be better to just ask the company to do this?]
This is the expected question.
[No. Harina. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet, I’ll tell you when I confirm it.]
[No. But on what departure day do you say it like this?]
I felt it every time I exchanged texts with Sihwa, but the words of Sihwa, which did not contain an emoticon, gave me the feeling of being stuck in my ears with voice.
[I was going alone, so I thought it wouldn’t matter if I said anything.]
[Is it okay if I go with me on a schedule? I can’t go today.]
At the beginning, I was the one who wanted to go quickly alone.
There was no reason to go with busy people.
[…What time is it?]
It was Jena’s first chat, who only watched the chat.
[I am 4 o’clock.]
[Seoul Station?]
[Yes.]
[Look there.]
[Hey. What. Hana. Are you going to follow that now?]
[That… Inuk-ah…! Do you have any plans to go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?]
After those words, Jena stopped participating in the conversation.
[I think it would be better to just go quickly, because it is important to find out the facts as soon as possible.]
[That’s right…]
Harin’s chatting with regret.
[Hey. Hana. Don’t make strange modifications to Choi In-wook. When you say something nice.]
Sihwa’s chat, which seemed almost like an iljin, made me think that creating a group chat was the wrong choice.
[Choi Inwook. You are the same. If you stick together because you like the two and make a mistake, that’s the end of it.]
I disregarded Sihwa’s words and left only a greeting saying that I would come and find out.
I put some clothes in my bag and left the house leaving a greeting to my parents that I was going to the countryside for a few days related to the academy.
Sitting on the bus heading to Seoul Station, I remembered Jena crying in her arms.
I haven’t heard from you since that day…
She sent a message saying that she would go with her out of the blue, but as if she had not read her message, a number remained on the inside of the phone screen.
She knew she wasn’t the type to joke around like that, so she thought that Jena would have a high chance of appearing in the station.
She had a part-time job…I knew she was doing it.
Why are you trying to follow me?
When I got off the bus and called Jena, she heard a ringing tone and started to hear her voice.
[I’m in front of the ticket shop here.]
[I’m on my way, but are you really okay with going out with me so suddenly? I don’t know how many days it will take.]
Jena doesn’t say anything for a while.
[…Yes. It doesn’t matter now.]
She didn’t fully understand what she was saying, but I hurried her steps towards where she was waiting for her.
