69 – Mir-4
‘Why is he like this again?’
I lightly touched Lee Soo-ah, who had frozen in the posture of opening the door.
“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“No, it suits me better than I thought…”
Let’s see if the clothes fit well.
I have a physique that gets my clothes washed, but there’s no way I’ll freeze as soon as I see it, right? Maybe it’s a joke.
“Show us too!”
The door was opened by the younger sister behind Soo-ah Lee.
The reactions of Yeonha and Hayeon were not very different from those of Lee Sooah.
Both of them froze with their mouths slightly open.
“Did you guys make it while I was away? How did all three of you react the same?”
“That’s because it fits so well.”
“That’s right! It suits you really well.”
Hearing Ha-yeon’s words, Young-ha nodded vigorously.
‘Are the clothes that pretty?’
I looked at myself through a mirror placed in the corner of the room.
The top was an uncharacteristic blue hoodie.
The surface is slightly rough, but not too noticeable.
The pants were also jeans, nothing special about them. Like the hoodie, it was slightly rough on the surface, but it’s safe to say it doesn’t have any special features to deserve.
‘It doesn’t fit very well…’
The moment I lifted my head and looked at my face, I couldn’t help but subconsciously harden like the other kids.
‘Does the dog look good on you?’
The clothes themselves were ordinary clothes, and I thought my appearance belonged to the normal axis, but the synergy the two created was no joke.
It was a dress that seemed to highlight all the elements of my appearance.
A bit of chic, a bit of wildness, and a nonchalant appearance, I finally understood why Wolha looked at me and said I looked like a cat.
‘Isn’t it really brainwashing?’
How can a person change like this with only one piece of clothing?
‘He would have lived well even if he hadn’t awakened.’
If I went somewhere to coordinate, I would have made money.
“How is it? Does it really suit you?”
“Yeah, it suits you really well.”
I turned my face to my younger siblings, thinking that if I looked in the mirror any longer, I would only gain groundless confidence.
‘It’s cute too’
I feel like my mind is at ease.
“By the way, can I go out like this? I think it will attract more attention than the appearance in uniform?”
I couldn’t even imagine the amount of attention Hayeon would be focusing on, even if it was me or her younger sister.
“It’s okay, people in Mir don’t pay much attention to other people unless they live in a well-to-do neighborhood in the central district. become.”
“If you say so, I have nothing to say…”
You should listen to the locals.
“Then shall we move right away?”
“great.”
I followed Sooah Lee outside.
As soon as we exited the apartment complex, a huge market greeted us.
“The market is really big here.”
There is no market in our city.
Since the city was created by recycling a city built before the cataclysm, there were quite a few buildings in the center, so there was no space to create a market.
‘But the value of the market isn’t so great as to make it by destroying a perfectly fine building.’
There were occasional street vendors, but most of them conducted consumption activities in the shops.
I think I’ve heard that there is a market in the dark district, but I’ve never been there, so I don’t know.
‘I think there were quite a few markets when I was young.’
Before the city was properly established, there were many days when the market was wide open.
Memories of selling monster corpses and buying delicious food came to mind.
“Because it is responsible for most of the consumption activities of Mir people. Of course, it has to be wide.”
“Does it seem more peaceful than I thought? I imagined that since there is a dictator, everyone works for the dictator with minimal compensation?”
“That’s right. All the people in Mir are public servants in a broad sense. The mayor, who does the work set by the city and receives a set reward, is also a market. No matter how much you sell, the money that falls into your hands doesn’t increase.”
“So there was no bargaining or soliciting behavior peculiar to the market?”
“That’s right, everything you buy in the market has to be bought and sold at the price set by the city, so there’s no need to bargain, and there’s no point in selling a lot, so I don’t do solicitation.”
It’s a dead market
‘It’s not a place I really like.’
“So, where is the temple?”
“I have to go through the market, but the road is quite complicated, so I have to follow it well?”
“okay.”
As I walked along with Lee Soo-ah, I kept looking around.
There were very few proper buildings in the market.
Most of them were street vendors, and there were only one or two small buildings.
“Do you think you’ve been tailed?”
“Yeah, I feel it too.”
I felt a group of people following us from earlier.
I couldn’t figure out how I was being followed.
Both Ha-yeon and Young-ha were properly hiding their mana, and I didn’t have any singularities.
‘Or is it simply because of his appearance?’
Lee Soo-ah is in a very emaciated state now, but Yeon-ha and Ha-yeon are outstanding in appearance.
It wouldn’t be strange if he accidentally followed you just for his looks.
“Shall we take care of it secretly?”
“Let’s move to a quiet place for now.”
Soo-ah Lee nodded lightly.
I didn’t know where it was going, but I’ll be sure to take care of it.
After walking for about 10 minutes, Lee Soo-ah stopped.
It was a small alley where three people could barely pass, and no one could be seen nearby, as if they had escaped the market.
“who is this?”
When Ha-yeon shouted in a low but fierce voice, a group of two men and two women appeared.
“Hey brothers, should you come with us?”
“Okay, follow me quietly.”
What can I say, it was very awkward.
The tone of voice seems to be acting plausibly, but the expression was very desperate.
Are you threatened by the women behind you? Looking back, the women were also making desperate expressions.
Are you doing this because you are being threatened by someone else? To say that, there was not a single feeling of regret in their eyes.
‘Are they so scumbags that they don’t even feel sorry for someone else sacrificing themselves instead of me?’
“What are you going to do if I follow you?”
“I’ll let you know when the time comes.”
Shall we follow you? I don’t think it would be dangerous even if I followed them, and I needed a quiet, unoccupied space to gather information on whose order the people on the road were suddenly pulled in.
“Okay, guide me.”
Before I could speak, Ha-yeon spat out coldly.
It was definitely Hayeon who went into cuteness mode because of her clothes, but as she talked low with a cold face, I could feel Hayeon’s charisma.
I certainly didn’t blow out a single mana, but the men inadvertently backtracked, so there’s no need to mention that pressure again.
“Okay, follow me.”
Men took the lead in guiding us, and women cautiously approached us and whispered to us in very low voices.
“I’m not going to a dangerous place, so don’t be too nervous.”
I didn’t bother to answer the small sound and followed them as if it would be comparable to a mosquito.
After a long walk, we arrived at a small shack near the slums.
To be precise, it was a secret space under a shack.
“Follow.”
It is unknown whether it was made with the technology of these people or before the cataclysm, but the inside of the basement was quite spacious.
“Whoa, I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but avoid their eyes by calling you all over again.”
Where do you hear that line a lot?
It’s confusing, so let’s give people nicknames. Let’s say a tall man is bald, a short man is short, a tall and clumsy woman is big, and a short woman is… short girl.
“Yeah bald head, why did you call us?”
After all, it’s Hayeon, I’m only making nicknames in my head, but to say the word bald like that confidently.
“…You guys aren’t from this town, are you?”
what is it? Did you notice it was coming from another city? I didn’t even care, saying that Soo-ah Lee would take care of it.
“It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been in this district, and I’ve never seen faces like yours.”
“Isn’t it just a coincidence?”
“Can’t someone who looks like the hyungs be rumored?”
People here don’t care about other people’s appearance?!
“So, why did you call us?”
“Come fight with us.”
The little boy suddenly joined the conversation.
The guy who used to talk so awkwardly now seemed very serious.
“Let’s fight together, what do you mean?”
“I read your dissatisfaction with Mir in your eyes. The others just moved as ordered from above, drooping down, but you were different.”
what? Can you read the displeasure in their eyes?
Are we different from others?
‘What the hell are you looking at…’
Well, I can’t deny it at all. Certainly, compared to others, it was obvious.
“Who are you, suddenly fighting together?”
“We are a revolutionary group created to drive out the ruler who is ruling Mir right now.”
Drive out the ruler… When I looked at Lee Soo-ah, I saw that she was shaking her head.
