After a close conversation with Kang Su-yeon .
While she was away to get food, saying that she had to eat properly .
Returning to the bunker, I wandered around Soyeon’s room and hesitated for a long time .
“… … .”
Perhaps this will be the last fight .
We’ve been procrastinating on the excuse of being crazy, but we need to have a proper conversation with Soyeon, and we also need to clear up our relationship .
However… .
“… ha… .”
For some reason, I didn’t have the courage to knock on the door .
How long has it been since I repeated raising and lowering my hand like that ?
Bumping-
“!”
The door opened at once, and Soyeon, who found me, cautiously spoke to me with round eyes .
“… What are you doing there ?”
“ Uh, huh ?” I was taken
aback for a moment by her staring at me, and I showed an unintentionally stupid reaction
.
“… Shall we talk outside for a minute ?”
“… with me ?”
She looked at me with a blank look, and I wondered if she was thinking about something for a while… .
“… I’m out first .”
Accepting my offer, I went back into the room .
Boom- !
So I first came out of the bunker and waited for Soyeon , and then I
pushed…
After a while, the bunker finally opened and Soyeon appeared .
“… Cool .”
Soyeon brushes her hair in the gentle breeze and draws a pleasant smile .
I thought I was good at talking outside, and I led her to the flat rock I had talked to with Kang Su-yeon earlier .
“ Oh, wait… .”
Before Soyeon sat down, I used a simple wind magic to shake off her seat, and said ,
“ It will be clean now .”
With a strangely contented face, she laid her hips down on the rock as if to purify .
“… … .”
Obviously heavy but not uncomfortable, there is a familiar stillness somewhere .
Soyeon was quietly rubbing the grass on the floor as if she was waiting for something, and
I made up my mind once more and carefully spoke to her .
“ Soyeon-ah .”
She stopped moving and slowly turned her gaze back .
I unintentionally loosened the pod I had been wearing and took my luck away .
“… I’m sorry I couldn’t listen to you today .”
Then she pursed her lips as if to say something, and said ,
“… ok .”
He sighed softly and forgave me .
I glanced at her, wondering if there might be some sediment left, but she had a really good expression on her face .
“… Maybe, did you call to talk about that ?”
“ No. just… . I want to talk to you .”
After receiving the confirmation, she quietly turned her eyes away and wiggled her feet, and I
talked while trying to erase the dark memories that were creeping up .
“ Before… . … The day I got out of the gate .”
The day I was brutally raped by Soyeon .
The day when the love and identity that I had built up over the years completely collapsed .
“ I’ll do something that never happened .”
I decided to forget the events of that day .
“… huh ?”
Her eyes trembled faintly .
Soyeon showed a dazed reaction as if she did not understand what I was saying, and when I met her eyes, I asked softly, lowering my earnestness
.
“ Mistake… it was … right ?”
It is not an incident that can be covered by a simple mistake .
But… .
It’s not even a comfortable enough situation to question each and every one of them .
“… mistake… .”
Soyeon lowered her gaze with a look as if she was in conflict, and I
carefully reached out to her .
Whoa…
trembling fingertips .
The deeply engraved memory of that day flashes .
Soyeon’s skin, which was soft enough to be violent, and cruelly attractive… .
Gulping —I swallowed my saliva involuntarily, and after trying to shake off the memories that had stuck with me
,
I grabbed Soyeon’s hesitant hand— Then, holding her hand tightly— he said softly .
“ Do that .”
Then .
“… .”
Soyeon glanced at the hand held by Soyeon, and carefully moved her gaze to meet her eyes .
Her eyes, which were dark with a hint of concern, did not waver any longer , and
“… I was wrong then. … I’m sorry .”
He finally admitted his mistake and offered a sincere apology .
I quietly nodded my head to accept the apology, and then gently let go of her tight grip .
Soyeon glanced down at my hand with a look of regret, but… .
There was no sign of any action .
“… … .”
I hope you will sit quietly in the silence that has fallen for a moment .
I gained momentum and brought up the topic of my wife .
“ And. mother… , yes .”
“… 👌👌👌 _
So-yeon shook her head to see if there was any puncture, and I
sighed in silence, reminiscing about Kang Su-yeon’s ‘operation’ and spoke firmly .
“… What you think of your mother, how you have treated her up to now, I won’t judge you for what’s wrong .”
What Kang Su-yeon insisted on was that the two mothers and daughters should be nailed so that they could not fight at all .
“ But… In the future, I will never just pass by .”
“… huh ?”
“ It’s not just you. whoever… , there is no next time. … okay ?”
I gave Soyeon a chance, and at the same time, gave a hint that she could be abandoned at any time .
Of course, knowing your personality, you can’t really guarantee that there will be no next chance… .
Even if I can’t, I’ll be able to put the brake on Soyeon .
“… uh… .”
Soyeon showed a look of resentment along with a slightly bewildered look, and I just silently waited for her answer .
She glanced at me for a long time, looked into my eyes, and finally gave an answer with a heavy sigh as if she understood her situation .
“… ok .”
A satisfying answer came back, just as I was about to say thank you with a smile on my face .
“… By the way, mom comes first, then me ?”
Soyeon asked a sharp question .
“… huh ?”
“… I don’t know about anything else, but I’d like the priorities to be straight forward… Is it me or mom ?”
She gently crossed her arms and secretly urged an answer ,
“ Ugh… .”
My position was changed in an instant, and I quickly shook my head and answered .
“ My… , why would I have forgiven you? ”
It was a very subtle answer, I think .
“… Heh .”
After receiving the answer, Soyeon kicked her seat and got up, went into the bunker, and pushed
…
Left alone, I looked at her back .
Maybe it’s the mood, but… .
She seemed to have a very satisfied expression on her face .

That afternoon .
We believe that Kang Su-yeon is exploited… , No, we were able to solve our meal quite satisfactorily with the food we got , and
Kang Su-yeon and So-yeon went out of the bunker saying they would try to match the sum in advance .
Meanwhile I… .
“… uh… .”
I was deeply troubled while looking at the item, ‘Alexandria’s Lost Ancient Document’, which I had obtained by clearing the mission before .
The abbreviation ‘Ancient Documents’, which looks like an old scroll, is an Ex-class item that increases the amount of magical power and improves efficiency
. .
But… .
“ What is it… .”
I looked for a long time, but couldn’t find any hidden power .
When I think about it, something is strange .
Ex -class items are items that have considerable power and influence to the extent that they are specially dealt with at the national level .
However, ‘Ancient Documents’ can only be used as a simple magic aid, and although the effect is considerable enough to use transfer magic one after another, it is a little subtle compared to the Ex-class items known so far .
“ Ugh… .”
How long has it been since you grabbed the ‘old documents’ and wrestled with them ?
At that time, when I was conducting an experiment on magic efficiency .
“… Ah .”
For some reason, things that happened in Hyeseon’s dream one day flashed through her mind .
A ‘normal’ world that didn’t feel any magic .
When I saw the child in my dream, I thought of Soyeon , and
finally I could feel the magical energy moving through my body .
Everyone knows that magic responds to emotions .
Perhaps I was able to awaken the hidden magic with the strong will of ‘I want to see Soyeon’ .
“… .”
Something is slowly starting to catch on . The representative effects of
‘ old documents’ are increased magic power and increased efficiency .
Perhaps… , is it responding to my heart ? In a
snap—
I reluctantly grabbed the ancient document, closing my eyes tightly and thinking about it .
“… .”
A happy future with Soyeon and his wife . The future is different from the happiness I’ve
always dreamed of , but it’s
definitely the happiness I’ve been wanting .
I wished intensely .
that moment . Woo-woo-
woong—
‘ Ancient Documents’ began to emit a faint light .
“!”
An ancient document that emits light like a creature seeking food .
I closed my eyes again and dreamed of a happy future that was so smooth that I inadvertently put a smile on my face .
OK… .
Woong Woong Woong Woong– !! The
ancient documents began to emit a strong light, and then
hwaah– !
I began to engrave in my mind a new kind of magic that I had never seen before .
“ This is… !”
It’s only a few seconds, but it’s a ‘magic of time’ that can control time .
The ability to manage time in history
Magic was never known .
It was truly an ancient magic that disappeared .
Woo-woong—-Woo-woong—
I was able to learn about how past users used magic from ancient documents, and said ,
“ Let’s do it… !”
With an unintentional smile, he returned the ‘old documents’ to his body .
More than any great magic, it was the magic I needed the most right now .
*
The next morning . Awakening the true power of
‘ Ancient Documents’, Yoo Ji-hwan, who was fully prepared, led the other two with a strangely confident face .
“ Is everyone ready ?”
“… Ready .”
“ Yes !”
The two men, who had completed all the preparations the day before, answered with their arms in hand ,
“… I go .”
Yoo Ji-hwan, who raised his magical powers, embraced the two of them and used transfer magic toward the inside of Seoul .
aa have to have Flashing– !
A flash of iridescent light envelops the three of them .
As the flashing light disappeared, they could feel the suffocatingly tightening magic power .
“ Ugh… .”
“… 👌👌👌👌 .”
A feeling similar to when entering a high-level gate .
The three men who were holding each other immediately scattered magic power and pushed away the magic of the atmosphere, and only
after they let go of each other could they look around .
and… .
“ Oh my God… .”
“ Uh… .”
“… crazy… .”
They faced Seoul, which was swallowed up by black magic .
