18 – Mutiny-2
Even though they had heard the information that there would be a rebellion two days later, there was nothing they could do about it.
Even if I went to the underworld and told people to prepare, no one would believe it, and there was nothing I could do for the underworld people.
‘Will you listen to me if I tell you now?’
I heard that the entire underworld went wild after seeing what I showed in the arena, but it’s just embarrassing because I did it while half insane.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been fighting, so I want to warm up, but the bosses of the factions are coming, and they’re not more than the people I met yesterday. I think I need to prepare a little.”
“Then would you like to stick with me? I’m very different from the me the driver remembers.”
“With you? Mmm, fine.”
It’s an A-class Awakener, but I wouldn’t use mana against a non-Awakened one. I think it would be appropriate to fight lightly by warming up.
“It’s not fun if we just fight, so I’ll bet one wish. Something that’s not too heavy.”
“Okay, fighting without mana?”
“No matter how much I don’t use mana against non-awakened ones. Don’t worry.”
It’s unsettling to see a dark smile, but I’m sure he won’t go against what he said.
“But where are you going to fight? It looks like there are many places.”
“There’s a place where there’s going to be an empty room. Come with me.”
Walking along the river, I saw a girl who occupied a training room alone and wielded a sword.
“Ga-yeon, your sister is here.”
“Oh, sister, are you here?”
The girl’s impression was quite similar to Wolha’s. She had jet-black hair up to her waist, and her eyes were purple like the moonlight.
“Did you have a younger brother? I heard you were the youngest.”
“I was born at the end of the succession war. I thought about killing him, but what crime could a child have? I’m trying to grow it.”
“Hello. My name is Lee Ga-yeon. Can I call you my brother-in-law?”
brother-in-law? Isn’t brother-in-law a title given to the husband of an older sister? Maybe because I’m a child, I don’t know much about titles?
“No, just call me brother.”
Wol-ha stroked Ga-yeon’s head as if she was proud.
It was a month that only looked cold, but I thought that I could make that kind of expression for my family.
“What is unnie doing here? It’s private practice time now.”
“If you go to training room A on the 12th floor, Yeji is there?
“Am I going to have a rival too?”
It was cute because her eyes were sparkling and shining, befitting her age.
“Rivals are also rivals, so can you focus on your brother too?”
“I’ll go! Rival, rival.”
Ga-yeon hummed and left the training room. Sa-hyeon doesn’t seem to have much interest in him, so it must be a relief from Sa-hyeon’s point of view.
“I can’t do this…”
It was the first time I’d seen Wolha put on a puzzled expression.
Could it have something to do with the bet I made with Hayeon earlier? It was roughly drawn what the bet was.
“hahahaha, shall we warm up for a moment?”
At the same time, he started stretching, and he took a lot of poses as if he was showing off his body to me, whether it was intentionally or he was really loosening up like that.
“Are you embarrassed, Knight?”
“It’s not like that.”
I felt the atmosphere around Wolha getting heavier for a while and turned around.
“I’m not going to watch it. I’m curious about how much I’ve grown.”
Wol-ha’s stance was more similar to a determination to make a life-and-death decision rather than an appearance to engage in sparring.
“… come in first.”
As soon as the words were finished, the moon came flooding in.
As soon as I dodge the fast-approaching fist to the face and fell all the way back, the follow-up hit came right away.
-puck!!!
The weight of the fist driven into his arm was considerable.
‘Is he really serious?’
I was just blocking it in an unexpected situation, so the damage started to accumulate little by little.
“The knight also attacks.”
Even the way he spoke was cold and cold. Can’t I just get rid of it when it’s so serious?
He made up his mind to some extent and blocked Wolha’s attack and counterattacked.
It wasn’t really a serious fight. If it had been a real battle, he would have aimed for the pit of the stomach, and he would have walked his legs a few times in an ugly way, but there was no need to fight so thoroughly.
Still, because of the fundamental difference in skill, Wolha started to be pushed back little by little.
-Pak!!
`Hey!!`
If it hadn’t been stopped quickly, I would have never seen my second generation.

No, I don’t have any intention of marrying anyone, so I don’t need it.
Still, there’s something about it.
Looking at Wolha with a cold expression, I saw that the atmosphere was relaxed and he was holding back a laugh.
“I lost. As expected, the knight can’t win. I don’t think you’re fighting properly…”
“Wolha, you’ve improved a lot, too, haven’t you?”
These are not empty words. I felt my arm throb after being attacked countless times by the moon. They were attacks with power that I thought would be similar to or slightly inferior to Hayeon.
‘Technically great.’
“So what is your wish? I can grant any wish.”
Wolha smiled seductively, but I had a penalty in mind.
“Don’t call me knight from now on.”
I got used to it to some extent, but it was too much to cringe every time I was called the title of knight.
“Isn’t it okay if I don’t just call you knight?”
I thought it would be regretful, but it was rather a confident look.
“Yes, but what to call it?”
“A cat, a prickly and cute kitten.”
he’s here again I look like a cat… . It was long, but not to the point of singing a cat cat song.
“I’m not a cat, I’m not prickly, I’m not cute, I’m not a kitten?”
“It just seems like a cat, so I’m going to call it that. If that’s the case, cats aren’t Ha-yeon’s brother, but they’re called brother-in-law, right? So, I’m going to call a cat a cat.”
The smile on his lips twitched as if he had predicted what kind of penalty I would say.
“Shall I just call you Knight?”
“Yeah, that sounds good.”
“I’ll take a wish ticket instead.”
Even though I won the game, I was in a position where I had to grant my wish, but I didn’t feel so unfair considering that I was doing a favor for my brother.
“So, what are you going to write?”
“I’ll think about it slowly. I’ll use it when I get the biggest benefit.”
“Yeah, take care of it.”
Considering Wolha’s personality, I’m a little uneasy, but I’ll still make a wish based on common sense.

Two mornings later, in a situation where a rebellion might break out, I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the kids filming a skit in front of it.
“Brother! Pour me some water!”
“Yeah, hold on!”
The moment Sahyuni scooped up Ari’s water and set it down on the table, Gayeon opened her mouth.
“Of course you have to bring mine too, don’t you? Are you an idiot?”
“sorry.”
Immediately, I scooped up some water and gave it to Ga-yeon, but Ga-yeon took a sip and poured it over Sa-hyeon’s head. Uh, isn’t that crossing the line?
“It’s too cold. Come back.”
“…Yes.”
I could feel the suppressed anger in Sahyun’s voice.
Even if you want to be angry, since you are the sister of the underworld queen, you have no choice but to suppress it in your heart.
Contrary to Wolha’s desire to connect Ga-yeon and Sa-hyeon, Ga-yeon seemed to think of Sa-hyeon as nothing more than a slave that was easy to use. He seems to be trying to be friendly with Ari, but he always treats Sa-hyeon coldly, and I’ve often seen him get angry and bully him over trivial things.
Ari wanted to get angry at Ga-yeon for bullying her brother, but she held it back because she was a high-ranking person.
“It’s too lukewarm this time.”
– Chow!
‘By the way, Ga-yeon, I think you will regret what you are doing now.’
The place where I was eating now was not a buffet, but a large table. To be precise, we were eating in a large living room-like space, and the reason we ate together was Ha-yeon’s suggestion that we stay with the kids before going to bed after the arena two days ago.
Wolha also thought it was a good idea, so they immediately renovated part of the building and decorated it as if it were a large house, and lived together.
Awakeners who are specialized in architecture were quickly renovated after demonstrating their abilities a few times.
Coming to the point, watching the kids is very fun. Ga-yeon sprinkled water on Sa-hyeon, I wondered if even a child had crossed the line, but when I saw them playing on a regular basis, they were childlike and cute, so I felt that life was full of energy.
I finally finished my water errands and put some meat side dishes on top of Sa Hyun-i’s rice.
Seeing yesterday, I only ate bare rice while paying attention, but I have to take care of myself.
There must be my karma for Sahyuni to suffer like this.
“brother.”
I avoided the gaze of Sahyun, who was looking at me with a moved expression. I’m sorry bro
“Can we go out for a while in the morning? I’m going to buy Ari’s clothes.”
“Okay, go.”
I wondered if it was okay to send the kids because today there was a rebellion, but Wol-ha spoke too calmly, so I decided not to say anything.
After the meal was over, I saw the kids off and checked the weapons.
From now on, it won’t be strange no matter what happens, so you have to be prepared. I didn’t forget to take care of the pistol in case of an emergency.
