50 – Regrets
Tick tock—tick tock—.
Unlike me, time doesn’t run away or stop, it flows steadily.
It seems like just before that the sun just started to rise, but it is already floating in mid-heaven.
In other words, it was a story that the promised time with Shin Hye-young was not far away.
And I didn’t have the heart to go outside and bask in the scorching sun for the rest of the time.
So I just sat on the bed in the inn and waited while humming the song of escape. She had thought that, given her personality, she would come soon.
Tirik—!
[ Survival time 24 hours 18 minutes 37 seconds ]
“…… To.”
No, why isn’t this guy coming?
I scratched my head in bewilderment. Come to think of it, he looked a little angry in the morning, but he probably didn’t run away.
Couldn’t you have learned the true taste of escaping?
“Umm, but just in case.”
I picked up the emergency alarm and sent a call signal to Shin Hye-young. Depending on the situation she finds herself in, she will send out pre-determined signals. I lay in bed and waited blankly for a reply.
Tirik—!
[ Survival time 25 hours 01 minutes 48 seconds ]
“…… Why?”
Suddenly realizing the seriousness of the situation, I hardened my expression and stood up.
Oh my God.
I shouldn’t have been lying in bed, I should have noticed it earlier and searched for it.
“What the hell is going on, Hyeyoung!”
My colleague escaped.
* * *
The port city of Moji, a coastal cliff with few people.
Shin Hye-young stood on top of it with her sorrowful face.
She wailed every time she threw handfuls of bone meal into the sea.
I was also worried that the wind would blow me to the wrong place.
“…… Wow, Mr. Jinwoo!”
I thought I was an idiot…….
If you brought a rookie into the dungeon, you should have paid more attention!
I killed you again!!!
The wind blew away all traces of Lee Jin-woo, and she collapsed on the spot.
She buried her face in her hands.
She wailed and cried.
──If you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest. Is there anyone in this city who would be suspicious of coin pseudos?
She said it was bullsh*t.
──Hyeyoung! If you put yourself down for a moment, you’ll find out the secrets of this town! We can be great detectives!
So I replied, “Why the hell do I have to follow pseudos?”
──Look! Surprisingly worth doing? Besides, it reminds me of when we first met. Is not it?
Pseudo-doing is a piece of sh*t. I complained that it wasn’t worth doing at all.
──Uryaaa!!!
Besides, I’ve always said that I’m stupid since we first met.
──Hyeyoung! We are a fantasy duo who can become the best alchemist team! The momentary embarrassment will return to the Philosopher’s Stone!
I just covered my ears.
The man who was so stupid said that.
──I’ll make you a sage.
I wondered what he was talking about all of a sudden.
You’re just doing stupid things, as always.
Like the last few days, we just set the rhythm.
“…… Idiot, he said he would make it, but he left first.”
If I knew I would die so quickly like an idiot, don’t complain, just listen…….
Shin Hye-young suddenly resented herself for not bringing her travel expenses.
She had no money on hand right away, so she couldn’t afford Lee Jin-woo’s travel expenses to the underworld.
So she picked out one of the artifacts she currently possessed.
It was a transmitter.
It was the most expensive item Shin Hye-young had, but it was the most unnecessary item since there was no one to send or receive signals from her.
As if to vent her anger, she grabbed her transmitter and tossed it hard into the sky.
She flies while drawing a parabola, and eventually fondant-. She fell into the sea
Kororok, he drowned.
Although it was not like a gold coin, she hoped to be a little reliable travel companion.
Hyeyoung Shin closed her eyes and prayed. She had neither a meteor shower in the sky nor a precious family by her side, but she desperately tried to recite a wish.
“Live happily ever after in your next life.”
She pictured Lee Jin-woo’s smiling face in her mind. I think I would have lived happily this life, but if there is a next time, I hope you enjoy your life a little longer.
──I sincerely prayed.
“Jin-Woo, I couldn’t save you because it was too late, but I will definitely get my revenge.”
The witch murmured in a low voice and then got up from her seat.
Sanja had to prepare for her tomorrow. He had to avenge the dead.
The number of people was cut in half, but she did not intend to stop raiding the dungeon.
It was never for the sake of obtaining something called the ‘Book of the Wise’ or public value.
Recalling the old man’s spear that pierced the advanced defense magic in an instant, the attack difficulty was by no means easy.
If the transfer had been delayed just a bit, she would have died on the spot.
“…… Can I?”
From now on, survival wasn’t the goal.
There was only ‘revenge’.
Even if the temple was not completely destroyed, the head of the old man, presumed to be the pope, had to be cut off.

However, for Shin Hye-young, who is not special in covert maneuvers and assassinations, she will have to go through a very difficult process to get there.
Even if they were to face each other one-on-one, remembering how easily they had withstood advanced attack magic, nine out of ten would be defeated.
──But, I have to do it.
“I have to take revenge.”
The witch looked up at the blue sky and the scorching sun with empty eyes, then suddenly muttered in a dry voice.
“You need a partner to do that.”
* * *
Smart—.
Smart—smart—.
Lee Jin-woo, who was looking for a way to meet Shin Hye-young in the shop window, hurriedly turned his head at the sudden knocking sound.
She wondered if it was her and ran to her door in her haste.
Kikik─. Opened the door.
“Brother, His Holiness is looking for you.”
“…… Huh.”
However, only a few strong men in her armor are standing in front of the door, and the brightly smiling blonde witch inside is not even showing her nose.
He tousled his hair, regretting it.
I’m just kidding.
I’ve only thought about escaping until now, but it’s been a headache trying to find the person who escaped.
“… ….”
And then, I was worried about the safety of the smart yet foolish witch.
Lee Jin-woo was disingenuous, and he wasn’t used to taking care of someone.
…… So he decided to get some help from those around him.
“Okay, Brother. Guide me.”
The wheel of fate turns.
