Around the time Yoo Ji-hwan managed to withstand Gong Hye-sun’s proposal .
“… .”
Jooyeon-hee and Min So-yeon. And Kang Su-yeon was walking in a hill outside Seoul . Ju Joo-hee, who received the mission from
‘ System’, tried to rescue Yoo Ji-hwan alone as if it was natural .
However… .
Su-yeon Kang, who was suspicious of Joo-hui’s solo actions, insisted on her accompaniment, and eventually formed a rescue team with all of them equipped .
On the way to rescue Yoo Ji-hwan, with Joo Joo-hee in the lead .
Kang Su-yeon, who followed Joo-yeon, complained about the fact that the secret headquarters was in a hill with no roads .
“ Ugh… . No, what kind of place did you set up your headquarters ?”
Then Min So-yeon, who was following her, shot at her coldly and said ,
“… Are you going to die then ?”
Kang Su-yeon glanced at Min So-yeon as if it was ridiculous, then shook her head and sighed .
“ Ha… . What I’m saying is, it’s just like my sister. How did you two look so alike? Where did my brother’s genes go ?”
“… What ?”
then .
Ju Yeon-hee, who had been silently ahead of her, suddenly stopped walking, and glanced at the two women who were following her, and said
.
“… Shut up .”
Then he glanced away and looked at the artificially raised small hill .
This is the entrance to the secret headquarters of the Old Church .
crumble… crumble…
Finally found at the entrance, they slowly approached the entrance, being wary of their surroundings , saying ,
“… It is a door .”
“… It’s thick .”
At first glance, I was able to find a very strong iron gate .
“ Um… . You must have a key to get in… .”
Kang Su-yeon glanced around the door, recalling the old school’s security method, and Joo-hee also looked
around to find a security device .
and… .
“… .”
Min So-yeon, who was looking at the door quietly , drew out her sword, and cut the iron
door
without hesitation .
Koo…
A neatly cut iron gate .
“ Oh my God… .”
Kang Su-yeon and Joo Yeon-hee looked at Min So-yeon with absurd eyes, and she looked
at them as if pathetic, and immediately stepped inside .
The three men entered the secret headquarters like that .
They followed Jooyeon-hee’s words and continued to dig inside ,
“… It’s strange… .”
“ What… ?”
“… Huh… .”
The further I went, the bigger the question came to me .
While they go down to the basement… .
“ Why… . No one… ?”
No one could find it .
“… There is no dust… .”
Traces of the presence of a human in the secret headquarters until some time ago were clearly visible .
However, as if everyone had escaped, there was no sign of popularity , and he said ,
“ It’s suspicious … .”
While continuing to go underground, harboring doubts about the openly suspicious behavior of the Old Church .
“… It is light .”
Min So-yeon found a faint light emanating from the end of the passage .

I looked at the hologram floating in front of me and inadvertently frowned .
I was just confused about when and why it appeared all of a sudden .
[ Avoid your seat to the bathroom . ]
└ Success Reward: Mermaid’s Tears
What’s the reason you want to avoid the seat by throwing out ‘mermaid’s tears’ out of the blue ?
From this… . Does
n’t it look like I want to get away from Hye-sun ?
As I grasped the intention of the ‘system’, I was in a bit of trouble for a moment .
“… ” Hyesun, who was hugging me
,
looked intently into my eyes, and then …
Suddenly, he lifted his head and looked exactly where the ‘system’ was .
“!”
I flinched for a moment, startled by her actions, and after
looking at the ‘system’ for a while, she slowly turned her eyes away and met her eyes again .
and… .
“… Jihwan-ah… .”
She asked softly, as if she was convinced of something .
“… what were you watching… ?”
Sharp eyes as if looking inside .
I inadvertently avoided her gaze , and
Hye-sun asked me once again, stroking my face .
“… Why don’t you tell me… ? what were you watching… ?”
“… 👌👌👌👌 .”
As her hand brushed past her, a cool sensation spread through her spine .
I quickly buried my face between Hyesun’s chest, and , feeling strangely
dizzy
at the sweet body odor that permeated into her nostrils and the soft sensation that pressed her face, I hurriedly spit out any excuses .
“ Bur, the worm… .”
It was a pathetic excuse, even if I thought about it myself… .
“… bug… ?” As if to believe what I said
,
Hyesun gently stroked her hair and began to scan her surroundings, and I said while gently pulling her hair away .
“… I’ll go to the bathroom .”
Then .
“… restroom… ? … Shall we go together… ?”
Hye-sun looked at her worriedly and spoke to her .
Although it was obviously excessive and unusual protection, I did not feel anything strange and said that I would go alone, just remembering the contents of ‘Get out of the seat’ .
Shrek… . After falling out
of
Hyeseon’s arms like that, I staggered to the bathroom with my still-wake-up body staggering, and I locked
the door in case I didn’t know. called .
Flashing—
A familiar hologram that appears in front of your eyes .
[ Receive reward ]
The mission to avoid the seat seemed to have been successful, and the phrase to receive the reward came to mind, and now all that is left is to receive the ‘mermaid’s tears’ .
But… .
“… .”
I was not willing to receive compensation .
no… , I couldn’t find a reason to get it .
A mermaid’s tears are a rare item that can heal all kinds of curses and status ailments while increasing magical power .
In other words, it is an item that is ‘not needed’ for me now .
I am not sick now, nor am I under a strange curse .
I felt something ‘unknown responsibility’ and followed the mission, but there is no reason to waste rare items .
I’d rather feed Hyesun to increase her magic… , side… .
“…み… !”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar headache strikes .
An unidentified woman comes to mind at will . A woman with dark hair, resembling
‘ me’, ripped through my head .
“…  .”
She is rough, but has a soft heart .
She can’t be honest, but she’s more honest than anyone else .
She was so lovely, she ripped through my head .
“… Whoops… !” I was struggling with a severe headache that made
my whole body tremble .
uh… .”
After receiving the reward by shaking hands, I hurriedly opened the lid .
Bong–
And the moment I was about to wipe the mermaid’s tears from my mouth .
“… .”
A cold sweat was dripping down—and at the same time, a thought suddenly popped into my head .
this… , is it really the best ?
If I throw away the mermaid’s tears and hug Hye-sun like this, I can live peacefully in Hye-sun’s arms until I die, forgetting even the system .
However… .
Conversely, if you drink the tears of a mermaid, you will have to face the ‘many problems’ that you have been neglecting for so long .
I am not confident I’m
not confident enough to solve those horribly tangled problems, nor can I
endure the brutal reality that binds me .
So you’re not here ?
“… .”
I looked at the small glass bottle in my hand .
Then slowly tilted the bottle to throw the contents on the floor .
Whoa… The
transparent liquid that was overflowing in the bottle began to move toward the entrance, and transparent water droplets formed on the tip of the
glass bottle and fell to the floor in an instant .
Instantly
, my mind flashed, and I reflexively set the bottle up again .
“!”
This is not the best .
Avoiding is not a good thing, it is a reality that we will have to face someday .
If you must face it… .
Better to fight back .
Tightly
—I inadvertently clenched my fists and poured the liquid into my mouth at once .
gulp-
and… .
“… Whoops… !”
With intense nausea, the past events began to come to mind .
What happened to Hye-sun forcibly .
What happened to Soyeon in a row .
The work of a wife who secretly killed someone .
And Hye-sun, who used pain to manipulate memories .
Each one was unbearably painful, and there were only terrible memories that made me regret drinking the tears of a mermaid .
But… .
“… ha… ha… .”
I had to endure it . had
to
endure That was my responsibility and my duty .
“… .”
I endured the waves of memories that came crashing into me for such a long time, and I slowly got up and said ,
“… after… .”
He opened the door to put an end to his inappropriate relationship with Hye-sun .
Bumping-
that moment .
“!”
I made eye contact with Hyesun, who was standing in front of the door .
She looked up at me with terrifyingly deep, submerged eyes, and
spoke softly with a sullen face, as if she had expected it .
“I ’m broken… .”
It was a cold tone with no emotion .
And at that moment .
Whoo-wook !
Hye-sun flew her hand towards my head .
“!”
I quickly grabbed her hand— and hurriedly said ,
“ Hye-sun. Now ma… !”
As if she didn’t even want to listen, she stared at me and spoke to me unilaterally .
“… It’s okay, it’s okay… . let’s try again… !”
A tone that stimulates a sense of protection .
“… Hye, Hye Sun-ah… .”
It was only then that I realized that Hyesun’s delicate tone of voice was intentional ,
and at the same time I felt a creepy sensation all over her body, and at the same time, I could see the ‘darkness’ rising from her .
“… Ji-Hwan-ah… . Ah, yet, it’s not too late… ! Let’s do it again, again… !”
she
was crazy
