The Western branches of the Kraxis Church failed to attack the Japanese and Hong Kong branches, and even lost some of their followers.
In addition, they lost the US branch that would be their center, so they were arguing that they wanted to become archbishops.
In the midst of this, they later realized the common goal and wanted to promote the resurrection of Kraxis together.
“Nothing will change if we do the resurrection rite now. Our forces have weakened from fighting with each other, and we cannot help.”
“It takes more time, it doesn’t mean the ceremony isn’t going on. I don’t know what will appear, but I can only see it as an enemy.”
The members of the Demonis Team, including Ryu Seon-hwa and Rakid, no longer believed in the Kraxis Church and the Resurrection Ceremony.
He had already encountered Kraxis, and was faithfully carrying out the mission given for him.
To the Demonis team, the Western branch was a cult and was just a remnant force that had to be put to death.
“It may not be resurrected at all.”
“That’s the best. If that happens, they will lose their center of gravity and scatter.”
The existence of the Kraxis Church was based on following the orders of the Archbishop and the resurrection of Kraxis.
From the point of view of the Western chapters, the archbishop was already dead, and even the resurrection of Kraxis was not certain.
In other words, it was no less than the last effort, and if the resurrection of Kraxis failed, the Church of Kraxis would be doomed.
“If the resurrection ceremony is real, what should we do?”
“It doesn’t mean another kraxis will be resurrected… Are you talking about an unexpected appearance?”
“I’m talking about both.”
Rachid McTona was imagining every situation and devising a countermeasure.
If the resurrection ritual failed, that would be the end, and even if it succeeded, there was no need to worry if it was not Craxis.
However, if the real Kraxis appeared due to the resurrection ritual, a huge catastrophe would occur from then on.
“… I have already decided to serve one man. If there is another Kraxis, I have no choice but to see it as an enemy.”
“Can you really? When that time comes, neither me nor my teammates will be able to attack recklessly.”
“That’s something to think about then. There’s nothing to worry about, as Kraxis-sama will be with you.”
Ryu Seon-hwa answered firmly, but was actually doubting himself.
I don’t know when it started, but I’ve been thinking about why I should follow Kraxis.
Each time, there was no answer, and doubts about Kraxis grew.
‘Maybe Kraxis is a fictional existence. Why did I try to believe in Kraxis?’
Ryu Seon-hwa suddenly remembers what Seo Hyun-woo said and ponders the question.
If Seo Hyun-woo is not Craxis, what should he do?
‘… What if it wasn’t Kraxis? Hyeonu is more important to me.’
Ryu Seon-hwa gets up from his seat, startled by the conclusion he has unconsciously reached.
I wonder if I would have known that I would choose Seo Hyun-woo by abandoning the existence I had believed in for a long time without hesitation.
“Why?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Ryu Seon-hwa sits down again and clears his head.
At this point, he couldn’t even tell who he trusted and followed.
That didn’t mean he wanted to turn his back on Seo Hyun-woo.
Because his heart was already tilted to one side.
“Let’s start with a report and schedule a meeting later. I need to get a few more people to send there.”
“All right. We will contact the informants dispatched to the local area separately.”
Rakid got up first and went out of the office.
Ryu Seon-hwa looked at the ceiling with her head tilted back and then closed her eyes.
‘Oh, why is this happening? Are you just going to beat me to Kraxis or something?’
***
on the day of Christmas Eve.
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon were out after finishing their meal at the restaurant.
As Christmas approached, the managers who were training together had to leave because they had their own schedules.
In such an atmosphere, Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon also gave up training and went out together on the street.
“… aren’t you using too much? I know you make a lot of money, but don’t overspend.”
Baek Seo-yeon makes an upset expression as she recalls the prices of restaurant food.
The food in the restaurant was quite expensive, and the quantity was relatively small, so the cost-effectiveness had to be lowered.
Still, Seo Hyun-woo was a bit worried because he swiped the card after ordering food at random.
“It seems to me that this is not enough.”
“This is enough. It wasn’t something I was hoping for in return.”
“I know that. But that doesn’t change the fact that I got help.”
Seo Hyun-woo smiles and glances at the mall.
Seo-yeon Baek took care of herself by giving up her holidays, and even arrived earlier to save Lee Min-seong.
No matter what kind of heart it came from, the fact that he helped him did not change, so he was trying to take care of this and that.
“That helped me a lot more. I still remember the number of points you mentioned back then.”
“… Oh, did you care about that? It was just something I was trying to provoke.”
“I’m just asking, just in case, are you really counting points between lovers?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never dated a woman. I don’t even want to count the points with nothing to do.”
“…”
After hearing this, Seo-yeon Baek shuts her mouth and barely endures the rising heat.
It wasn’t a problematic answer, but it was something I was ashamed of because I had imagined some very strange things.
“But why the number of points? If it were me, I would have been more concerned about something else.”
“The others were so blatant that they weren’t even worth thinking about.”
“Hmm… counting the dots is more of an indirect expression. It sounds a bit sarcastic at times. How did I come up with all this?”
“Did you come to realize that now?”
“I thought you were paying attention, so I thought about it calmly. As an apology, I should buy you something more.”
“I didn’t mean to say I was hoping for something.”
“How are you? As long as you and I are satisfied, that’s it.”
Baek Seo-yeon is at a loss for words and walks side by side with Seo Hyeon-woo.
Seo Hyun-woo was wearing a jet-black coat with no decorations, a white turtleneck and black pants.
On the left side of the collar of the coat was the indigo blue brooch that he had given him.
It was a little disappointing that I didn’t hang the pendant, but I thought that that was enough.
“Why didn’t you wear a necklace?”
“… I didn’t think of that.”
“If you wear too many accessories, it will look bad. What can I say… Modesty? That’s why I wore a single brooch.”
“I didn’t think of that, but I think the president is right.”
“It is said that excessive negation has a positive meaning…”
“Huh… you’re only saying cute things.”
Baek Seo-yeon smiled softly and muttered softly.
This time, it wasn’t because I was in a bad mood.
He was simply expressing the emotions he felt.
“I think it sounds a little different. Does it mean something else?”
“I do not know. You’re good at everything, so why don’t you take a look inside my heart?”
“Am I not God?”
“…that seems right. Because I taught you how to wear a brooch.”
Seo Hyun-woo nodded his head slightly and looked down at the brooch.
It was the first gift I received after coming to this world.
Now that I have enough money, I thought of requesting manastone processing as soon as I had time.
“First, drink coffee and think slowly…”
Seo Hyun-woo is looking for a cafe signboard, but then he stops and fixes his gaze on the three people.
Baek Seo-yeon immediately recognizes the three people and shows cold eyes.
“Since we met, I should say hello.”
“It would have been great if there was only one Hunter, Yujin Kang.”
“Aren’t things going the way you want them to?”
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon approached the three of them while correcting their outfits.
At the same time, they also recognized Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon and were walking towards this side.
Seo Hyun-woo greeted them first.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Hunter Kang Yujin.”
“Your tone of voice is still stiff. How has the vice president of the student body been doing?”
“Thanks for your attention, I am doing well.”
Baek Seo-yeon politely answered Kang Yu-jin and slowly turned her gaze to the side.
There were two people I didn’t want to meet.
Besides, since they were both members of Kang Yu-jin’s family, they could not easily show their dislike.
“We met again.”
Kang Yu-jin and Kang Jin-ha’s mother, Song Ji-yul, gently waved their hands and twinkled red eyes.
Unlike when they met inside the dungeon, fox ears and nine tails could not be found.
In addition, the color of his hair was changed to black, so he looked like a normal human on the outside.
‘To be precise, it should be viewed as an awakener with transformational abilities.’
Song Ji-yul became a human as soon as she came out of the dungeon, and was in a state of awakening with the ability to transform into a nine-tailed fox.
After that, he would have met Kang Yu-jin and explained what had happened in the meantime.
It was highly likely that Kang Jin-ha was being taught by Song Ji-yul after learning the secret of her ability to transform into a nine-tailed fox.
“Hmm… the vice president seems to have taken my advice well.”
“…I’m sorry, but I can’t remember what you said then.”
Baek Seo-yeon indirectly reveals that it was not even worth listening to with a hardened face.
Nevertheless, Song Ji-yul does not lose her smile and gives a gentle answer.
“I said it was rough. I also said it was crazy. Do you remember anything now?”
“Not at all. I guess it didn’t sound that good.”
Baek Seo-yeon shows off her eyes sharper than ever and meets Song Ji-yul’s gaze.
Song Ji-yul squinted her eyes and said nothing more.
“Hmmm… It seems that the color of your hair has changed since then.”
“Ah, this? At that time, I used my transforming powers. He has the same ability as Jinha.”
Seo Hyun-woo turns Song Ji-yul’s attention to himself and glances at Kang Jin-ha.
After winter break, I had to fight Jin-ha Kang for the chairmanship.
Separately, Min Ha-young, Lee Da-jeong, and Yoo Si-eun were also expected to graduate from Miterich.
‘Now I have to fight Kang Jin-ha. I’m not going to lose… But what if I win?’
