“No, why don’t you go to karaoke?”
“karaoke?”
“Yes-.”
Both hands of Skye, who blinks her eyes, are around her waist.
Small, fine hands clenched into fists, trembling subtly came into view.
“I came all the way here. Well, just going in… … If you have free time, can you hang out with me too?”
“Well, isn’t that difficult?”
I replied as if it didn’t matter. Her tremors stop.
‘Oh yea.’
I heard the voice of Haneul muttering carefully as I turned around, but the corners of my mouth moved because it was so cute.
“Oppa, there’s a karaoke room that I go to whenever Hyuk visits you, right? Go there!”
I walked down the street led by her hand.
* * *
The time when the golden sun roams the streets with the river sky.
There was a student who came out of the Murimmaeng dojo.
Between the glass doors that split left and right, his name staggered out as if collapsing. His name was Kang Hyuk.
“Huh-. Huh-.”
He stretched his arms against the wall, barely keeping his balance, gasping for breath.
It is a rough breathing.
As if he couldn’t breathe because there was no air inside the dojo, Kang Hyuk coveted the outside air to his heart’s content, being greeted by the softly blowing fresh wind.
“It’s this much with just your presence… … .”
A sour substance rose up in his mouth, but he suppressed it and mumbled.
It is said that a swordsman who has risen to the level can kill a person with only his momentum, and today I felt with my whole body that the saying was true.
If the sword master, who noticed Kanghyuk’s condition, did not control the momentum that flowed from the middle, it would have been civilized that he would have faced an unprecedented situation of drowning in the air.
By blowing fresh air into my head like that, my unstable breathing was brought into order little by little, and my trembling limbs were stabilized.
I take a few steps and manage to rest on a nearby bench.
I took out my smartphone from my pocket.
Because there was something to check.
‘I’m sure the sky went well with supplementary classes, right?’
I understand that the student Haneul visits on a weekday like this by telling the school he attends and leaving early or taking a day off.
And since you said you were going to take supplementary classes after the awards ceremony today, you should have arrived at school to take classes by now.
– Took. Took.
I took out my smartphone to call Haneul.
Unfold your index finger.
I tried to press the button with my trembling fingers, but my body, not listening to me, pressed the internet button right next to it.
“Ah, sir.”
The second you want to close the active Internet window.

Articles that took up half of the screen of a palm-sized smartphone caught my eye.
There are many articles, but only one topic. It was only for the swordsman who had risen to the master rank.
“What is this again… … ?”
It was the first time that a news window was burning like this with only one topic. I moved my hand to see what was going on.
– Sweep.
As if the news window, which took up half of a page, was not enough, new articles were constantly uploading with the ＜N!＞ icon underneath.
It was definitely something that didn’t exist before entering the Murim League.
What the hell happened in that moment… … ?
Kang Hyuk is also a disciple of the sword master. I couldn’t be interested in the appearance of a new master.
▷ Breaking news! A new swordsman is born in Korea.
As if unconsciously possessed, he touched the article that decorated the main story.
And Kanghyuk’s eyes, looking at the screen, gradually grew rounder, and soon they opened up as if they were about to tear.
“The new master grade swordsman was Golden Sun… … ?”
▷ A photo showing warm spirit through Yeriel before the finals (1).
▷Photos falling from the sky at the awards ceremony (2).
▷ A picture of a battle of nerves with a sword master face to face (3).
▷Picture of throwing reporter’s camera away (4).
These are photos that focus only on one student.
Even the children of the well-to-do noble family.
Geomjudo, which discusses Korea’s strongest.
There is a difference in proportion in the photo, but they all blend into the background.
I couldn’t be centered.
Yes.
There is only one main character in all of these articles.
It was only the golden sun.
“Maybe I was looking too high… … ?”
I shake my head at the momentary thought. Then it shook enthusiastically as if the thoughts in my head were about to fly away.
Let’s not think like this.
I barely made up my mind that the first button is important, but I can’t miss it here.
the moment you think so.
one corner of the screen.
There was an article that caught Kanghyuk’s attention.
└Women favored by the Sword God? The identity of the girls wrapped in a veil.＜N!＞
When I heard that she was a woman related to Geum Taeyang, the team members immediately came to mind.
Anya and Chevalier.
Did they go out to eat by themselves while asking the sword master to teach them about the sword? Things like that happen, too.
I tried to think so, but there was one person that I could picture in my head.
To Kang Hyuk, he is an existence that cannot be exchanged for anything.
the driving force behind his life.
A child with an expression like his name that sometimes frowns, there are moments when it becomes blurred, and then it becomes clear again.
river sky.
It was only three letters, but I couldn’t stand it.
please.
Please, please.
Heaven, I can’t even hand you over.
└Women favored by the Sword God? The identity of the girls wrapped in a veil.＜N!＞
With trembling fingers, I pressed the article with the provocative name.
After seeing the article, Kang-hyeok jumped up from the bench he was sitting on and started running outside the academy like a crazy person.
The cafe in the picture.
It is a place that Kang Hyuk also knows.
* * *
“brother! It’s over there.”
“Okay, okay, so can you pull it a little bit?”
“Ah, yes!”
I entrusted myself to Haneul and followed where she led me without saying a word.
He said there was a shop he knew, but it was because I didn’t have to walk in the lead.
How long did it take?
[Ugh!! Eup.]
‘Why is he like this again?’
Suddenly, Yeriel in the waistband started to react violently.
It was clearly trying to say something, but it only seemed limited to me.
“Brother, does that sword really shine? What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.”
From the eyes of an ordinary person, it would be no different from a white sword emitting a soft light.
Haneul looks at Yeriel curiously, and Yeriel sparkles more intensely as she approaches.
As I watched the two of them quietly, my conscience began to sting.
hmm… … . If you keep going like this, you’ll get in the way.
“Are you curious?”
“of course. This kind of thing is common only for my brother who is an awakened person, but I, a normal person, can’t see it often? But is there really no problem?”
Skye asked with a tilt of her head, so I put my hand on Yeriel’s handle and answered.
“I do this sometimes, but it’s because I don’t have enough mana.”
“aha.”
“In that case, like this.”
Lightly injected magic power through the handle of the sword.
[uuu-!!!]
Along with the intense light, I heard Yeriel’s scream-like sound a few times, then it became quiet.
“If you feed him some mana, he will calm down. It’s kind of mealtime.”
um, good A perfect excuse.
Through an excuse that wasn’t awkward, I put Yeriel, who was interrupting my break time, to sleep at once. It’s neat.
Skye started to move her feet, which had stopped for a moment, following Yeriel’s example.
-Wheein.
While he was walking for a while, he heard a strong vibration in his pocket.
“… … huh? Heaven, didn’t you call?”
At my words, Haneul turned her head and answered me with a smile.
“Oh, when I checked, it was a spam call? It’s no big deal.”
“okay?”
-Wheein.
After confirming the number, Haneul’s brows tighten for a moment.
“brother. wait a minute! It’s a call from home.”
“at home?”
“Yeah, normally it’s time to be at school. I missed school just because I came here… … . lol.”
Next to Haneul, who laughed lightly and turned her head to answer the phone, I took advantage of that moment to start thinking about Yeriel.
I have to deal with this guy, but he’s definitely going to eat my lifespan, right?
I’ve peeped into her past a total of two times so far, but each time I took the method of consuming my lifespan through [Dream of Longing].
If you treat this as a game, the most important commodity to me right now is [Lifespan].
[Greedy Predator] is my main talent, but it costs nothing to use, so I don’t mind it, but it’s not [Dream of Craving].
A situation where I don’t know how much my lifespan will be cut if I proceed with the story of Elizabeth and Chevalier.
As it is a skill that can be used in many ways, the more [goods] called [Lifespan], the better.
Fortunately, there was a way to extend my lifespan.

Points piled up every day are not enough to buy Yeriel.
At least with that, it was too much to buy a well-smelted sword, armor, or a low-level weapon.
Alright, so here’s the problem.
What on earth did Kang-hyeok pay to get his little abilities and Yeriel?
The answer is simple.
what is called a point.
A kind of world contribution.
The beings that are harmful to this Museon’s Earth.
It was purchased with the [goods] that are given every time you catch monsters from the dungeon, that is, beings from the other world.
And I know where there is a lot of goods.
meeting of demons.
In principle, those who have already risen to the seat of mortal sin cannot interfere except recommending a successor, so it is appropriate to gather points there.
“brother! brother! The call is over!”
“uh. uh? it’s over?”
Sky shook my shoulders and pulled me out of my thoughts. She answered ‘Yes’ and smiled as if she was relieved.
“ah-! It’s over there!”
There was a run-down shopping mall at the place Haneul pointed out.
The gray concrete at the entrance of the building is exposed, and the flyers attached here and there look dreary.
Even at the entrance of the building, there was a motel signboard the size of a large door, showing off a pink color.
No, this crazy!?
She was looking up at me with innocent eyes, as if asking what was wrong.
“… … Doesn’t the building look a bit impure for karaoke?”
“Ah, it looks like that, but the inside is really cool, right?”
“really?”
“Really.”
I think I passed by a few well-equipped karaoke rooms on the way… … ?
He hid his reluctance and nodded his head.
“If so, what?”
“ruler-! Come in quickly!”
Even the horse’s hoof was smashed, and looking at the unsecured door, I swallowed the dry saliva that was gathering in my mouth.
Why does it feel like there’s no turning back when you go through that entrance?
I walked reluctantly and stepped into the mall.
* * *
An alleyway in front of a building with river sky and golden sun.
Kang Hyuk, who witnessed the scene, dropped the wooden sword he was holding.
