95.   It was a week and a day later that he met that boy again.   Just like when they first met, the boy with a school bag on his back and a convenience store bag in his hand was passing through the alley in front of his house, and when he saw Chae Yoo-jeong, his eyes widened slightly. The boy also remembered Chae Yoo-jeong.   “Uh, hi.”   Unlike Chae Yoo-jeong, who looked out the window and checked the alley every day in case the boy passed by, his reaction was very calm.   When Chae Yoo-jeong saw the boy walking close to him, he secretly smelled his own body. Fortunately, there was less odor today.   “Do you live here?”   Just like last time, the boy spoke informally as a matter of course.   He seemed to think that Chae Yoo-jeong was much younger than him. Not surprisingly, the boy was one head taller than Chae Yoo-jeong. The difference was due to the fact that the boy was much taller than his peers, and Chae Yoo-jeong was much shorter than his peers.   The boy approached Chae Yoo-jeong, who was hesitant and unable to answer, and took something out of his convenience store bag and held it out, just like last time. This time it was a light-yellow sausage.   The boy smiled slightly as if he thought Chae Yoo-jeong was cute and asked as he took the sausage out so that it would reach him.   “What is your name?”   “……”   “How old are you?”   “…….”   Chae Yoo-jeong blinked his big eyes and pursed his lips. Despite ignoring everything he said, the boy didn’t seem particularly offended, and sat down on the steps of the alley.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was glancing at him, sat down as well, about three steps away from him. The two sat side by side and ate the sausages in silence.   Chae Yoo-jeong followed the boy’s lead, ripped off the plastic skin on the outside of the sausage, and took a bite. The sausage he ate for the first time following the triangle gimbap last time was really delicious.   After about 10 minutes, the boy who had finished eating the sausage got up from his seat. Then he left without any regrets, without even giving Chae Yoo-jeong a chance to catch him.   The meeting that had been waiting for over a week ended in vain like this. Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been sitting in silence for a long time after the boy left, lamented belatedly.   ‘That’s stupid.......’   He kept waiting and when they actually met, he felt so stupid that he couldn’t say a single word properly. He wanted to at least say thank you.   ‘Just going to eat it again.’   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was looking down at the plastic sausage wrapper left in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the alley across from where the boy had disappeared.   ***   After his second meeting with a boy who he didn’t even know the name of, the person Chae Yoo-jeong waited for late at night changed from the woman to the boy.   Chae Yoo-jeong was hoping that the boy would come visit him at least once more like his first and his second encounter. At the end of February, ten days later, he finally found that the boy had appeared in the alley again.   Chae Yoo-jeong ran out in a hurry, taking the small piece of candy he had managed to find after searching through his house. Suddenly, he pushed aside the rusty iron door and came out in front of his house, and the boy who had been scrambling while looking at his cell phone noticed Chae Yoo-jeong.   “Uh, hi.”   He greeted him the same way as last time. Feeling the sound of his heart pounding, Chae Yoo-jeong struggled to open his mouth.   “...Hi.”   It was a voice as small as an ant. But just that short answer made him so nervous that he couldn’t help but stutter.   The boy who managed to hear that small greeting looked surprised for a moment, but then smiled his characteristic soft smile.   “Do you even know how to say hello?”   “……”   Chae Yoo-jeong blushed, not knowing how to react to the light tease. The boy, who was looking curiously at Chae Yoo-jeong’s cheeks as he stood on his feet, said as he put his cell phone in his coat pocket.   “I don’t have anything to eat today.”   Certainly, unlike last time, there were no convenience store bags today. Chae Yoo-jeong shook his small head and held out his hand, which was tightly holding a candy.   When he opened his fist, clenching it so hard that his skin turned white, the little candy fell out. His yellow packaging shell sparkled in the streetlight.   “Are you giving it to me?”   This time Chae Yoo-jeong’s head bobbed up and down. The boy who was looking around at the candy with a strange expression asked.   “How old are you?”   “14 years old.”   “What? really?”   The boy, who opened the candy wrapper without caution and immediately put it in his mouth, showed a very surprising reaction when he heard Chae Yoo-jeong’s answer.   “I thought you were 12 at most.”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was offended by the words of the boy who shaved two years off his age, fiercely retorted.   “I’m 14.”   “I’m 15.”   The boy, who chewed the candy and slowly spit out a word, lowered his upper body and made eye contact with Chae Yoo-jeong.   “When you’re 14, you start middle school, right? Where do you go to school?”   “...Next to here.”   “Yuseong Middle School? I go there too. School starts next week. If I do well, I can meet you at school.”   Chae Yoo-jeong’s round eyes shone as he continued to speak. Same school? So, instead of just snooping around in front of the window like now, we can meet whenever we want?   Chae Yoo-jeong never enjoyed the place called school even for a single moment. But somehow he felt a little happy thinking that this boy was in the middle school he was going to start next week.   “That’s…….”   It was the moment when Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been hesitant, finally had the courage to open his mouth to ask his name. A vibrating sound rang out of the boy’s coat pocket and interrupted his words.   “Thank you for the candy.”   The boy took out his cell phone, checked the screen, spoke a final greeting, and turned his back without hesitation.   Unlike Chae Yoo-jeong, who still had a lot of questions, the other person didn’t seem to be very interested in him. If you think about it, that attitude was normal. Who would pay attention to a child you just met by chance on the street and talked to for about 10 minutes?   Chae Yoo-jeong was even less sociable than the other children and was extremely timid. And he stinks... and it’s not much fun to talk to him....   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was left alone where the boy left him, continued trudging along, blaming himself for how pathetic he is as usual. Still, he gave the candy today and found out that they were at the same school, so it’s not like he didn’t get anything out of it. That fact was the only comfort to him.   ***   As February passed and March passed, Chae Yoo-jeong became a middle school student and wore a school uniform.   While he didn’t know the boy’s name and was worried about how he would find someone in the same school, Chae Yoo-jeong was able to hear about the boy right away just a few days after school started.   He said the boy’s name was Yoo Ji-han and he was in class 5, of the second year. He was quite famous around school for his decent grades and neat behavior. It was said that many girls liked him, perhaps because of his looks.   He was so popular that it even reached the ears of Chae Yoo-jeong, who had no friends and rarely went out of class. Contrary to Chae Yoo-jeong’s expectation that they would meet at any time if they were in the same school, the two did not see each other even once until the end of March, almost a month later.   Since the grades were different and most classes were held in classrooms, there was not much time to go around the school. He waited every night to see if Yoo Ji-han would pass by the alley in front of his house, but he never came.   In the end, Chae Yoo-jeong couldn’t bear it any longer and, feeling like he was grasping at straws, he went out into the hallway alone. He planned to look around the school every recess and lunch hour to meet Yoo Ji-han, who might be somewhere.   Chae Yoo-jeong, whose shoulders were stiff from tension, was shorter in height and build than his female students. Chae Yoo-jeong staggered out of the classroom and started walking down the hallway as his feet took him.   ‘Where is he?’   The hallway where all kinds of students wandered around was a lawless area in an unusual way from the classroom.   It was truly horrible because there were noisy, rude, and careless people running around indiscriminately. Chae Yoo-jeong walked around the hallways whenever he had time, suppressing the disgust rising from deep in his heart.   Three days passed like that. He visited all the places he could but couldn’t find Yoo Ji-han. He made a firm determination and went to class 5 of the second year, but Yoo Ji-han was nowhere to be seen.   It was at that time that Chae Yoo-jeong let out a sigh of exhaustion and was about to go down the stairs and return to his class. Across from him, a group of male students, who were burlier than average students, approached while making a loud noise.   “……!”   The person in the center of the group of five or six people was Yoo Ji-han, whom Chae Yoo-jeong had been looking for. He was walking with a soccer ball and smiled brightly when his friend said something.   Unlike Chae Yoo-jeong, who was dressed tightly, including his tie, Yoo Ji-han was wearing a school uniform shirt with all buttons undone over his short-sleeved t-shirt. The sight of Yoo Ji-han coming towards him, chatting lively with his friends, felt so bright to him, like the midday sun.   His heart pounded loudly as he came face to face with Yoo Ji-han, who was so different from himself. He gave strength to his slightly trembling hand and opened his mouth towards Yoo Ji-han, who had come right in front of him.   “Yoo……”   “The kid kicking the ball over there is crazy!”   “Now, it looks like Ji-han’s buying drinks because of you.”   “Anyway, I got points with that, so why all the fuss?”   Before Chae Yoo-jeong could finish speaking, someone hit his shoulder hard. Yoo Ji-han and a group of male students who did not hear Chae Yoo-jeong’s call passed by, talking amongst themselves. It was Yoo Ji-han who hit his shoulder.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was pushed back by his strength, was completely pushed back by just hitting his shoulder, causing his back to hit the wall in the hallway. When he finally met Yoo Ji-han, his once flushed face instantly turned pale.   I’m sick of it.   Yoo Ji-han’s voice became increasingly distant. In the place where Yoo Ji-han’s pleasant-to-hear voice disappeared, several voices mocking him filled up.   “Look at that bastard.”   “It’s so embarrassing.”   He looked around but could not see the owner of the voice. However, it was not visible to his eyes, but he could constantly hear the sound of ridicule.   The sense of nausea rose strongly. Confused, Chae Yoo-jeong left his place as if he was running away by moving his feet in a hurry.   --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 82, 83, 84 Chapter 85, 86, 87, 88 Chapter 89, 90, 91, 92 HM: I sorta feel sad but at the same time….

94.   “Yoo Ji-han. Are you okay?”   Kim Dae-seok frowned suspiciously and asked out of worry. I answered calmly, emptying my soju glass in one go.   “What.”   “Why on earth did you get thinner than when you were doing assignments and exams?”   “........”   “Don’t overdo it.”   “That bastard Eun Hae-seong also asked me yesterday if something was wrong with me? Do I really look that bad?”   Even though Kim Dae-seok was worried, he immediately filled the empty glass with soju. I grinned and held up my refilled soju glass.   “I haven’t had an appetite the past few days, that’s all.”   “Are you sick to death? Why do you suddenly have no appetite that is so damn bad?”   “Don’t you guys know me?”   In fact, I knew they knew me very well... but I didn’t want to reveal the story about Chae Yoo-jeong, so I pretended not to know.   I had already told Kim Dae-seok that Chae Yoo-jeong and Yoo Chae were not the same person, and I had no desire to explain the problem with Chae Yoo-jeong to others and receive comfort. I didn’t feel like getting any relief would make me feel better.   “Stop talking nonsense and have a drink.”   When I filled Kim Dae-seok’s empty glass with soju and turned to him, Kim Dae-seok clicked his tongue and obediently clinked the glasses together.   After drinking with Kim Dae-seok until closing hour, when I came out of the store, thick snowflakes were falling under the night sky. There has been a lot of snow these days.   -Ever since a long time ago, good things have always happened when it snows   As I looked at the white snow falling from the sky, I thought of Chae Yoo-jeong.   -Today, I am the happiest I’ve ever been   When I remembered his brightly smiling face with a sincere confession, I was filled with hot emotions and the corners of my eyes were distorted.   It’s been a week since Chae Yoo-jeong’s birthday and the day I found out about his betrayal. From that day on, Chae Yoo-jeong contacted me every single day, but I never once responded to him.   I deliberately didn’t read the piled up messages and didn’t answer the phone. I can’t bear to block it, so I just leave it alone... but I can’t continue to ignore it like this.   It snowed non-stop even while returning home. I didn’t feel like wearing a coat or a hat, so I just rolled my eyes and took out a cigarette from my pocket. Just as I was about to put a cigarette in my mouth, I saw a person under the light of the street lamp across from me.   Chae Yoo-jeong, hearing the sound of footsteps, raised his head and made eye contact with me. He must have been waiting for a long time, and his hair was wet in the light of the street lamp.   “Hyung……”   I quietly put away the cigarette in my hand. I wasn’t that surprised or offended when Chae Yu-jeong came to visit. I rather expected that the time had come for him to come.   Not only Chae Yoo-jeong but also I had reached the limit of patience. This problem had to be solved one way or another. Even if the conclusion is not good.   As I walked over without saying a word, Chae Yoo-jeong lowered his head. Thick teardrops overflowed from the corners of his heated eyes. Chae Yoo-jeong stuttered and opened his mouth, swallowing his harsh breath to hold back his cries.   “I’m sorry I came to you on my own.”   “.......”   “I understand that you don’t like me. But I really, ugh, I can’t end it like this...”   My head hurt as I watched Chae Yoo-jeong continue to cry, unable to control his emotions.   “I understand, so stop crying.”   “S-sorry…I’m sorry…”   “You said you would explain everything to me then.”   I spoke firmly, ignoring Chae Yoo-jeong’s pleading face.   “Follow me. Let’s hear what a great explanation it is.”   Chae Yoo-jeong pursed his lips. But in the end he couldn’t refuse and chased after me as I walked ahead.   I took Chae Yoo-jeong to a 24-hour cafe near my house and sat down with him in an isolated corner.   In the meantime, Chae Yoo-jeong, who had finally stopped crying, seemed to have calmed down a little, and was shivering in the pale daylight even in the warm room. I said, without paying attention.   “Please explain however you feel comfortable. I’ll listen to whatever I feel comfortable with.”   “.......”   “I will make a judgment after hearing everything.”   It was the last consideration I could give Chae Yoo-jeong. Chae Yoo-jeong, who hesitated for a while, started to speak with a resigned look.   ***   The woman who married the man she loved became pregnant the following year.   With a man who was genuinely happy about her pregnancy and congratulations from those around her, the woman raised the child in her belly without much worry.   But her happiness did not last long. Her peaceful daily life was suddenly destroyed by the man’s affair when she was eight months pregnant. The person he was having an affair with was a woman from the same workplace.   As soon as the man was discovered having an affair, he left the woman and her unborn child without any regrets. For a woman who was abandoned by the man she loved in the blink of an eye, the child in her stomach was no longer a welcome presence.   There was no way that Chae Yoo-jeong, the child born that way, would have been loved by a normal family.   The second floor of an old 10-pyeong villa with a kitchen and two small rooms. Chae Yoo-jeong lived there with a woman who was busy working.   Time passed and it was a day in February when Chae Yoo-jeong graduated from elementary school and he turned 14.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was watching the snowflakes falling beyond the window, hurriedly ran when he heard the sound of the front door opening. When the woman returned late at night, she smelled strongly of alcohol.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was anxiously watching the drunk woman staggering around, tried to take off her shoes, but was startled by her staggering body and reflexively grabbed his arm. But the woman mercilessly shook off her child’s hand.   “Dirty.......”   “…….”   The criticism, spat out in a slurred pronunciation, became a sharp needle, and pierced his heart painfully. The disgust he had vaguely felt since he was a child touched his skin more clearly than ever before.   The woman who pushed Chae Yoo-jeong’s unconscious body in frustration stumbled and entered her room. Left alone in front of the front door, Yoo-jeong blinked his eyes, and then he smelled his body.   Then a really strong odor came from his body. The woman said he was dirty because he really was dirty. Chae Yoo-jeong didn’t know what to do and looked alternately between the bathroom and the room the woman entered.   ‘What do I do.......’   He had to wash my body to get rid of his smell, but if he turned on the water while she was sleeping, he would probably get scolded for being noisy. Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been pacing in front of the bathroom, smelling his own body several times, eventually picked up a thin coat, put it on, and carefully opened the front door.   He couldn’t stay at home because he was so worried about the bad smell coming from his body. If he couldn’t wash, he had no choice but to go out so he couldn’t smell it.   Chae Yoo-jeong came out in the middle of winter and sat with his butt in front of a heavily rusted iron gate. Chae Yoo-jeong shrugged his shoulders and held his hands together as the chilly wind blew that threatened to engulf him.   Chae Yoo-jeong felt quite satisfied, even though he was cold, because the snow fluttering under the yellow street lights was like flower petals. As he looked at the snowflakes twinkling in the light, he felt the cold on his skin a little less.   He was in that state for a while and he was staring blankly into his eyes. An umbrella appeared out of nowhere and blocked Chae Yoo-jeong’s view.   Chae Yoo-jeong reflexively curled his body and turned his head to the side. Then the large umbrella tilted slightly to his side, revealing the face of the person standing in front of him.   “Hi.”   His facial features revealed beneath his hair, which was as black as the night sky, were very straight. The boy carrying a school bag on his back naturally greeted him while holding an umbrella in one hand and a convenience store bag in the other.   “What are you doing here?”   The boy asked Chae Yoo-jeong again, who was frozen in shock. Chae Yoo-jeong barely answered that innocent question, which did not show the slightest hint of malice on his part, wriggling his clasped hands.   He didn’t even know why he felt cold because his body heats up for no reason due to the interest that a stranger is showing him. He was overly concerned about the person approaching him.   ‘It’s going to stink.’   He was afraid that he would call him dirty like that woman did.   “Huh? Aren’t you cold?”   “Not really.......”   The boy, who stared at Yoo-jeong for a moment without making eye contact and answering vaguely, rummaged through the convenience store bag, and held out something.   “Do you want to eat this?”   Chae Yoo-jeong accepted the thing he gave without even knowing what it was because he handed it to him so suddenly and without hesitation. A warm feeling spread out from his palm. Funnily enough, what the boy handed out was a piece of warmed triangle kimbap.   “It’s my favorite flavor, you eat it.”   “……”   Before Chae Yoo-jeong, who was taken aback by the sudden appearance of triangle kimbap, could reply, the boy left without any regrets. Chae Yoo-jeong, who had received something for the first time in his life, looked down at the triangle kimbap with a dazed expression.   There was a faint, fragrant smell. He had the illusion that the smell of the triangle kimbap was covering up his own bad smell.   Chae Yoo-jeong looked at the place where the boy had left for a long time, holding a triangle kimbap that felt warmth.   --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 82, 83, 84 Chapter 85, 86, 87, 88 Chapter 89, 90, 91, 92 HM: It seems that he met him earlier. omg GX: I did not expect it to go down the childhood crush route, I thought it was only middle/high school infatuation.

106. “Tiamat. So what about this one? He’ll remove the barrier and try to run amok too. Isn’t that what you did last time? He wants to kill a lot of humans himself.” Tiamat, who had objected the whole time, hesitated. “...Is that okay?" "What can you not do?" “Tiamat-nim!” Embarrassed, Kai called out Tiamat's name, but it seemed that she was already gone mentally. Even with her tattered hands, her eyes were shining. In this state, there was no going back. Kai closed his eyes tightly. "It sucks." His hoarse voice intervened. "Do you think I'll just watch it happen?" Hyeon-woo stood crookedly and glared at Libby. “Of course I don’t. But this one is not alone. I'm a little curious. How are you going to stop us both?" As soon as those words were spoken, Kai's barrier was lifted. “Krrruk!” Tiamat, who maintained her human form the whole time, immediately shifted to her real body. The building collapsed in the process, but no one was affected except for Bacardi, who passed out. “It’s not fair.” When Hyeon-woo, who escaped unscathed, said that, Libby replied with a smile. "It would have been no fun if you died with that. We don't need useless humans.” "Puha! What, what!" Bacardi crawled out of the rubble on his own. The broken limbs also seemed to have recovered to some extent. He staggered, but was standing up. Then, Kai also returned to his original form. The feeling of intimidation was great as two huge figures blocked the way. As he was looking at the two of them, Libby stepped out between them. "Okay then, let's fight." It was a relaxed attitude, as if he knew he had an advantage. Hyeon-woo burst into laughter as he saw that. Then he asked. “Did you come to this realm with all your strength?” “You’re curious about that?” "Yeah." “Hmmm. I don’t see the need to tell you.” Hyeon-woo decided. Alberg, who came over using the portal that appeared in the middle, came over here with a lot of strength. Compared to him, Libby, who would have prepared thoroughly, would have come with more strength, but she wasn't afraid. “It’s only part of it.” Because Hyeon-woo, unlike those demons, came over here with all his strength intact. Among the demons, there were quite a few who did not believe that he had fought Alberg. Because Alberg was the best among them. However, Hyeon-woo actually fought him and did not lose. “Okay, let’s fight.” The first to move was Tiamat. She spread her big wings and tried to fly. If her wings were attacked, she would be useless, but Kai, a hydra, was protecting her from below. Hyeon-woo took a deep breath. He thought back to the days in the Demon Realm. After a terrible struggle, he had gained new powers. In a way, it was no different from Bacardi's power. The only difference was that Bacardi obtained it without effort, and Hyeon-woo obtained it through effort. Hyeon-woo's shadow swayed and increased his volume. No, if one looked closely, it wasn't a shadow. "Hoo?" Libby looked at Hyeon-woo with a curious gaze. “You can use Demonic energy? Are you a human similar to Bacardi?” “Think whatever you want.” Hyeon-woo, whose entire body was covered in pitch-black smoke, replied. It was not easy to survive in the Demon Realm with pure human power. So he accepted it to survive. And while fighting, he learned how to gradually increase the amount of magic. He decided on a direction and refined his magic. Thus, he finally got his hands on enough power to fight Alberg. “Krrrrng.” The cry of the beast came from the smoke that had increased in volume. “Ahahaha!” Tiamat heard someone's laugh. There was a small whispering voice, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of metal. Then, all sounds stopped immediately. Watching it gave her goosebumps for some reason. But Tiamat didn't forget what she was doing. She took advantage of the silence and soared into the sky. Her gigantic body rose rapidly into the air. It was then something stretched out of the smoke and flew towards Tiamat. Kai was the first to notice and stepped in front of her. He tried to block the attack by swinging his neck. Kai had strong regenerative power. So he believed in it and stopped it, but the result was disastrous. A long black spear passed through the Hydra's neck and pierced Tiamat. At the last moment, she twisted her body so it didn't pierce her fully, but the blood membrane on her wings was punctured. It started out as a small hole, but the more she flapped her wings, the bigger the wound got. “Krrk!” Tiamat fell to the ground on the spot. Thud! She landed properly, but the ground shook and a loud sound rang out. "Ick!" Tiamat, who straightened her body, gnashed her teeth. But the attacks did not stop there. As Hyeon-woo swung his arm, a black spear flew out again. “Stop!” At Tiamat's cry, Kai stood out again. Although it was only enough to slow down the attack, that alone gave Tiamat enough time to evade. He didn't know what to do before the first hit, but now he knew to evade it. “Are you good at avoiding? How about this then?" Dozens of spears appeared in the air. Seeing him, Kai swallowed without even realizing it. He sacrificed one neck to block one. But there are dozens of such spears. Could he stop it? No, he couldn't stop it. Maybe today, this spot would become a graveyard. Kai put on a dejected expression. To overcome his fear of Hyeon-woo, he clung to Tiamat, but in the end, he couldn't overcome anything. Dozens of spears flew in, and Kai closed his eyes in anticipation of his death. But even after a long time, he felt no new pain. Then, when he opened his eyes, Libby was standing in front of him. “They’re still necessary, so you can’t kill them yet.” Libby was holding a large shield before he knew it. It was a divine weapon of the Demon Realm and was his favorite weapon. “I've seen attacks like this before, by the way. Ifricott, ranked 12th. Isn't that his skill? He was a spearman. He handled spears well, but his ranged attacks using demonic energy were excellent. Did you learn something from him?” “Should I say that I learned it?” Hyeon-woo tilted his head. And asked. “Am I obligated to answer that?” “No.” Libby replied, putting down his shield. “But I’m curious.” “Then die curious.” Hyeon-woo started attacking again. Libby skillfully countered Hyeon-woo's attack. He was strong, but not to the point of being unstoppable. Moreover, the spear was only being created near Hyeon-woo. As soon as she realized that, Tiamat tried to jump forward again. "It's not possible!" Feeling strange, Kai belatedly stopped it, but she was already late. For the first time, a spear was created somewhere other than near Hyeon-woo. The back of Tiamat's head. "Back!" At Kai's cry, Tiamat quickly returned to her human form. Then his spear passed in vain over her head. "What." Goosebumps ran down her spine, and cold sweat broke out. If she was even a little late to transform, she would have died. From then on, spears spawned here and there, aiming for their lives. 'I was tricked!' Most of the attacks were blocked by Libby, but some fell on them as well. Everything was like a nightmare. How much time had passed like that? Libby, who had been blocking the attack the entire time, lowered his shield. “It’s boring to keep blocking. Are there any other attacks besides this?" “You want something else?” “Could you?” "Then I'll show you well." Suddenly, her feet felt cold. Tiamat jumped up from her seat and climbed onto Kai's torso. Her senses were exactly right. At one point, a black thorny vine that bloomed tried to snatch Tiamat's foot. If she got caught by her ankle while avoiding the spear, she would have been done for. “Ooh, this again.” Libby exclaimed as he watched the vine digging into his ankle. “Maia?” Tiamat let out a groan. Was she 18th place in the demon realm? There was a demon with the ability to handle plants freely. Unlike Ifricott, she had some interaction with her. “Have you seen her lately? No, not if you’re asking me. Come to think of it, Maia hadn’t shown up for some time.” “Maia? Do you know that demon?” "It's a demon with the ability to manipulate plants." Simply manipulate the plants. It was versatile enough to be defined as such. Not only did they use vines to bind their opponents, but they also poisoned them with plant poison. That was why she also interacted with Tiamat, who also uses poison. But to even use Maia's power? Something was strange.

93.   Chae Yoo-jeong and the woman, Kang Ji-ye, who did not notice that I was right behind them, continued their conversation.   “Stop pushing! Do you think it was me who wanted to come?”   Kang Ji-ye, who had parked her car right next to the road, frowned and shouted nervously.   “I came because Kyung-seok oppa asked me to come and see your face since it’s your birthday!”   “If you are going to come, please contact me in advance. Why do you give up on all contact and just come to me on your own?”   “If you had answered my call earlier, I would have just thrown the cake at you and gone home.”   Kang Ji-ye, exhaling heavily, filled with frustration, continued her words.   “Chae Yoo-jeong. Why didn’t you explain that you were in contact with Yoo Ji-han?”   My name came up very naturally in their conversation. I reflexively twitched my hand and looked at Chae Yoo-jeong’s expression.   Chae Yu-jeong, who was glaring at Kang Ji-ye with narrowed eyes, answered in a cold voice.   “Why should I explain that to you? And don’t call Hyung’s name carelessly. How close are you to Yoo Ji-han, anyway?”   “Does that matter now?”   “Then?”   “Shouldn’t you have let me know in advance if you were going to boldly come to pick up Yoo Ji-han at the guild meeting? How can you do this when you clearly know I’m there too?”   Kang Ji-ye touched her forehead as if her head hurt.   “Do you know what Yoo Ji-han and I talked about before you came? I asked if he was in touch with Yoo Chae. But he said he didn’t?”   “…….”   “Why did you show up to pick him up when you clearly broke off your relationship with him? Do you know how surprised I was to see you?”   I slowly closed my eyes and opened them, feeling my blood go cold.   As I unconsciously tightened my fist, the handle of the cake box I was holding was distorted by my reckless movements.   “I met Hyung for a different reason. I’m going to completely quit Zenoris and won’t be playing as Yoo Chae, so it doesn’t really matter.”   “...Wait a minute, Chae Yoo-jeong. I’m asking just in case.”   After hearing Chae Yoo-jeong’s words, Kang Ji-ye noticed something strange and opened her mouth.   “Is it possible that Yoo Ji-han doesn’t know that you are Yoo Chae? So now...”   Before Kang Ji-ye could finish her question, a short beeping sound rang on my cell phone. The notification sound that rang from the cell phone in my hand was clearly audible to the two people who were ten steps away.   Only then did Kang Ji-ye and Chae Yoo-jeong discover me and their eyes widened in shock. I stared at Chae Yoo-jeong, whose complexion instantly turned white, then looked down and checked his cell phone.   Funnily enough, the identity of the notification sound was a text message from the dessert shop thanking them for purchasing. As I read it, the cake box I was holding in my other hand felt very heavy.   “Hyung….”   “Hello.”   Ignoring Chae Yoo-jeong’s eye contact, I smiled softly at Kang Ji-ye and said a greeting, which greatly embarrassed her.   “Ah, unn, Well... when did you get here...”   “I’m sorry, Noona.”   I put my cell phone in my coat pocket while cutting off Kang Ji-ye’s words.   “Could you please give me time with him? I have something to talk about with Chae Yoo-jeong.” No matter how much I tried to suppress my emotions and calmly resolve the situation, my voice inevitably came out cold.   Kang Ji-ye, who looked at me and Chae Yoo-jeong in turn with an embarrassed look, eventually nodded.   “Okay. I was going to go anyway. It’s not my place to intervene.”   Kang Ji-ye, who sighed, added one last thing to Chae Yoo-jeong.   “Later, when you come to your senses, call Kyung-seok oppa. I’ll be there.”   Kang Ji-ye got into the car and left the place. I watched the car until it completely disappeared from sight, then turned my attention to Chae Yoo-jeong.   Chae Yoo-jeong’s face was seen as pale as a corpse. The man’s lips trembled as he stood there, unable to open the door for me to speak first.   “Chae Yoo-jeong.”   As I calmly called his name, Chae Yoo-jeong’s shoulders trembled greatly.   “Answer straight from your mouth.”   “........”   “Are you Yoo Chae?”   Chae Yoo-jeong, whose pupils were shaking intensely, eventually closed his eyes tightly. Cold sweat formed on his temples.   “……Yes.”   After hesitating for a long time, Chae Yoo-jeong answered in a voice as rough as sandpaper.   It was the answer I expected, but when I heard it, a strong pain radiated from my chest. I had a tough time swallowing the unknown emotions that rose up to the end of my throat.   “Okay.”   “Hyung.”   “Take this.”   I didn’t want to see Chae Yoo-jeong’s face anymore. With my head slightly lowered, I forced the guy to take the cake box I was holding.   “You said you like this. Take it and eat it.”   “W-wait a minute, Hyung.”   “I’m going.”   I turned my back without looking at Chae Yoo-jeong’s face until the end. I turned back the way I came and walked down the alley next to me.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was standing there in a daze while holding the cake box, began to hurriedly chase after me.   “Hyu-hyung. Wait a minute! Wait, I...!”   A trembling, hot energy spread from deep within. It wasn’t just anger caused by being deceived. It was more complicated than that... I didn’t have the confidence to face it properly.   My mind was so dizzy. I felt nauseous. No matter how much I thought about it, I wasn’t normal right now. So, I ignored Chae Yoo-jeong’s cries and walked steadily.   “Hyung! D-don’t go. Don’t go like this, please! I’ll explain everything. I will. Please!”   The footsteps were getting closer quickly. I bit my lip and increased my walking speed.   Don’t touch it. Don’t hold on to it, just let it go like this. As for me, I don’t have the confidence to talk rationally, so if I had known what he was doing to me...   “Hyung......!”   A formidable force grabbed my arm. When I felt that, my barely perceptible thoughts suddenly stopped and the emotions I had been suppressing burst out.   I gritted my teeth and shook off Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand, then stretched out my arm and roughly grabbed Chae Yoo-jeong’s collar. Chae Yoo-jeong coughed, pushed by my strength, and hit the wall hard. The recoil caused the cake box to fall to the floor.   “Can you explain? How are you going to explain?”   As I made eye contact with eyes filled with fear, emotions I didn’t even know existed overflowed like a tidal wave. Among the many emotions, the one I felt most keenly was the feeling of betrayal.   “You pretended not to notice when I was confused, and now you’re explaining it to me...?”   “Hyung……”   “I kept asking, how many times?! What did you answer each time?”   “…….”   “You said you didn’t know. You said no! Fuck, but what? Can you explain now?”   I felt resentful. Chae Yoo-jeong, who deceived me. And this shitty situation itself that I found out about today.   If you were going to deceive, you should have deceived more thoroughly. I should have been able to deliver the cake to you with a smile. I should have done that......   “Did you have fun?”   My chest hurt terribly, as if it had been cut to pieces. It hurt so much.   “You must have laughed a lot when you saw me adjusting to the beat without knowing anything.”   “I didn’t, I didn’t!”   Tears poured down from Chae Yoo-jeong’s wide-open eyes. Chae Yoo-jeong gasped and said in denial, desperately shaking his head.   “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ve never thought of Hyu-Hyung like that. I didn’t laugh. I... I am just…”   “How can I believe that?”   “……”   “How can I believe...”   I was the one who really wanted to cry. But when I looked at Chae Yoo-jeong, whose cheeks were wet with tears, I could only laugh helplessly.   A cake box with all kinds of dirt on it fell on the floor and was kicked by my feet. The cake in the box must have been just as messed up as that. That looked exactly like me.   When I realized that, I felt a severe sense of helplessness. I gently removed my hand from Chae Yoo-jeong.   “...Let’s stop.”   I stepped back, pressing my sore eyes with my hands, and this time Chae Yoo-jeong caught me.   “Please no! D-don’t tell me to stop. I was wrong, I was wrong!”   “Let go.”   “Let me explain. I’ll explain everything, don’t go…!”   Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand holding the hem of my clothes was trembling. I mercilessly removed his ice-cold hand.   “Let’s... talk later. Nothing can happen in this state.”   “.......”   “Don’t grab me.”   Explanation or anything else, rational conversation itself was impossible right now. Chae Yoo-jeong, who noticed that I looked tired, shed tears again. Despite his appearance, I calmly turned away.   It was true, without a doubt, that Chae Yoo-jeong genuinely liked me. So, there must have been a reason for deceiving, and there must have been circumstances of its own. I knew that his plea for an explanation wasn’t just an excuse to avoid the situation.   But still... I was hurt too. With this mindset, I didn’t have the confidence to face him rationally. It felt like I was going to spit out some nonsensical accusation at any moment.   The happiness I felt just before meeting Chae Yoo-jeong melted like snow and disappeared without even leaving a trace.   --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 94, 95, 96 Chapter 97, 98, 99, 100 HM: nice….

92.   “…….”   “…….”   Chae Yoo-jeong stared at me with a blank expression.   I thought he would blush and freak out or cry like before. The reaction was a lot more normal than I expected.   I didn’t show it, but I was really surprised on the inside. I kissed him because I was caught up in the atmosphere, but I didn’t feel too bad.   ‘No, rather……’   It was fairly good. It was surprising that I felt this way after just kissing him.   I’d like to try it one more time, but wouldn’t that be too much? I swallowed my regret and let go of his collar. Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been quietly looking at me until then, finally opened up.   “Skinship... didn’t you say no?”   …Was it so?   “After thinking about it, I don’t think skinship should be left out of the process of getting to know each other.”   Despite my shameless attitude, Chae Yoo-jeong still had no reaction. I felt a little embarrassed by that sight.   “Did you hate it? Then I apologize.”   “Huh? No, no, that’s not it….”   “…….”   “……”   An awkward silence came again.   ‘It’s ruined.’   It seems that the timing I felt earlier was just my own illusion.   A feeling of shame came to me later. I have never failed at skinship timing in my life.   “Anyway, thank you for taking me there. I’m going in now, so be careful.”   In times like this, the best thing to do is run away. As soon as I smiled and said bye, Chae Yoo-jeong grabbed my arm tightly.   “W-wait a minute. Hyung.”   “What is it?”   “I… I’m really sorry, I…”   Chae Yoo-jeong stuttered, half out of his mind, as if he was still dreaming.   “Can’t you just… try one more time?”   “What?”   “Just once more. Because it’s my first time. It went by too fast.”   Let’s do it one more time? Wasn’t it something you didn’t like?   Chae Yoo-jeong lowered the corners of his eyes and begged me, who was so embarrassed that I couldn’t answer.   “Hyung, can’t you? Just once. OK?”   “It’s okay once...”   As soon as I nodded my head, Chae Yoo-jeong rushed towards me as if he had been waiting for me.   The guy who pressed his lips to mine, grabbed my face with both hands. His hands, cold from his nervousness, were shaking.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been with me for about 5 seconds with just our lips touching, jumped away in a hurry, just like I did earlier. This time his face was all red.   “Whoa.”   Chae Yoo-jeong covered his mouth with his hand and let out an exclamation, his eyes shining like stars.   “Whoa!”   “Do you like it?”   “Yes!”   All I did was give him a kiss and he liked it like that. He seemed ready to dance if I kissed him later.   “Can we do it again next time?”   “Did you leave it to me?”   “No?”   “Don’t ask for permission to do things like that, just do it according to the mood.”    “Are we doing it again now?”   “Is it okay? Stop.”   When I saw Chae Yoo-jeong looking so excited as if he could fly into the sky at any moment, I started to get worried.   “Calm down. How can you drive like this when it’s snowing at night?”   “It’s okay because it’s not that far away.”   Still, Chae Yoo-jeong took a deep breath and calmed down as much as he could, as if he didn’t want to worry me, and called me.   “Hyung.”   “Huh?”   “Ever since a long time ago, good things have always happened when it snows.”   Chae Yoo-jeong, smiling brighter than ever, continued.   “Today, I am the happiest I’ve ever been.”   At those words, I couldn’t hold back any longer and smiled at him. I have never heard such a pure and direct confession.   “I’ll go. Can I send you a message when I arrive later?”   “Do whatever you feel like.”   “Yes!”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who had just stepped onto the snow-covered road and returned to his car, shouted brightly.   “I’ll contact you!”   “Be careful.”   Even after getting into the driver’s seat, he rolled down the window and waved his hand at me before leaving.   I watched the car until it got farther away, and I couldn’t see it, and then I turned around and headed home.   ***   From the moment I succeeded in kissing Chae Yoo-jeong, I accepted my feelings to some extent.   Let’s admit it. It may have been just curiosity at first, but now it was clear that I had developed romantic feelings for Chae Yoo-jeong.   ‘I can’t believe I’m in a relationship with a man.’   It was a situation that was unimaginable not long ago.   Still, I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t ignore Chae Yoo-jeong’s pretty appearance, his down-to-earth personality, or even his mind that was surprisingly only filled with me. How can I ignore him when I look straight at his eyes filled with sincerity?   But unfortunately, since the day I became aware of my feelings, Chae Yoo-jeong has become incredibly busy as the year has changed.   [Chae Yoo-jeong: I’m sorryㅠㅠ]   As if everything that happened was just a fantasy, Chae Yoo-jeong stayed in his dorm without any weekends and constantly repeated his practice through scrims and solo queue with his teammates.   Chae Yoo-jeong’s routine was usually like this. He wakes up at noon, eats breakfast and lunch, and starts a private scrimmage with another team.   Scrimmages are usually two or three times a day, and because they are conducted as closely as possible to regular matches, he spends about three hours each time.   We eat a late dinner in the middle of the scrimmage, and after the scrimmage, each person plays solo rank until 3 a.m. Chae Yoo-jeong said that since he took a year off, he would work until 5 o’clock to make up for his lack of practice.   The contacts also naturally decreased. Of course he can’t do it during scrimmages, and in ranked games the only break is the 5 minutes it takes to queue, so it’s hard to keep in touch.   I received replies regularly, up to 10 times a day, usually about 5 times. The good news is that I am relatively relaxed during my vacation, so I am able to receive calls late in the morning.   [Chae Yoo-jeong: Hyung hyung]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: You are coming to my house tomorrow, right?? 8ㅅ8]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: What time are you coming?]   [Yoo Ji-han: Around 3 o’clock?]   [Yoo Ji-han: I also had a part-time job interview, so I don’t know for sure]   [Yoo Ji-han: I will contact you after the interview tomorrow]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: Yes yes! (emoticon)]   Two weeks passed without seeing his face, and Chae Yu-jeong’s birthday was finally approaching.   January 15th. It was a day off that Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been working all day, had finally gotten.   As I was pondering what I wanted to give him as a birthday present, I remembered the logo on the cake box I received last Christmas.   I looked it up online and found that it was a dessert specialty store right in front of Chae Yoo-jeong’s house.   ‘I should at least buy a cake from here.’   Just in case, I called the store and made a cake reservation. I would be eating cake and playing with Chae Yoo-jeong, and when the mood was right, I would have planned to confess that I wanted to officially date him seriously.   When I thought of Chae Yoo-jeong, who would be happy to hear my answer, I couldn’t help but smile.   ***   The next day, I dressed up in a way that showed just the right amount of care and not too much and left the house in the morning so as not to be too late in meeting Chae Yoo-jeong.   The part-time job I was being interviewed for was at the bookstore where I worked last summer. I thought about how long I would have to wait because I heard that there were people who came first for the interview, but unexpectedly, the interviews of those who came ahead of me ended quickly, which shortened the time significantly.   “If Ji-han wants to work for us again, that would be great for us. You did a very neat job last time, so I can trust you.”   After receiving a reply from the bookstore owner, who informed me of my acceptance with a happy face, telling me to start working next week, I immediately took a taxi. I wanted to call in advance to ask if the cake was ready, but since I’m going to get it anyway, I put it off for now.   “It just worked out really well. The cake was just finished. You can take it right away.”   When I went to a dessert shop, a handsome man handed me a packed cake box.   “Thank you.”   Why am I so lucky today? I had an interview for a part-time job, and I received the food I had reserved right away, so was it a good day to do anything?   Holding the cake box in one hand and humming a tune, I headed to Chae Yoo-jeong’s apartment. Since it was less than 5 minutes away, I called Chae Yoo-jeong on the way. However, the phone call did not connect, and the song continued for a long time.   ‘Are you busy?’   Are you doing the cleaning just because I’m going there like last time? There’s something to clean in that house.   I thought nothing of it and tried to make another call, but I stopped when I saw a familiar person on the other side.   The person standing in front of the apartment’s front door was clearly Chae Yoo-jeong. There was a woman in front of him.   Surprisingly, she was a woman whose face I recognized. When I realized that, the corners of my mouth that had been naturally raised slowly stiffened. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 93, 94, 95, 96 Chapter 97, 98, 99, 100 HM: me editing while listening to Ice breaker by nejishiki….

105. “I’ve missed you. But now that I've seen you, what are you going to do?" “Do you really need to ask?” Hyeon-woo took a step forward. Instead of stepping back, Tiamat stepped forward, just like him. “I'm asking because I don't know.”  “You don’t? You seem to have a worse head than I thought.” "I've never been told that before."  Tiamat responded with a laugh. As the two walked towards each other, they quickly became close. Now, Hyeon-woo's expression was clearly visible. His laughter was laced with endless anger. Words didn't need to said any longer. Tiamat pulled out her long fingernails to stab Hyeon-woo, who moved at the same time. 'Don’t let your guard down.' The last time when the chain had tied him down, the two’s power were almost equal. Now that the chain was gone, she had to pursue attacks more carefully. Several attacks were exchanged in an instant, and Tiamat drew back with a heavy breath. Maybe it was because she was so nervous, but she was feeling exhausted after not fighting for a while. Then, a harsh voice from behind spat out curse words. Bacardi, who had lost consciousness for a moment, was awakened. “You were hit again.” Cracking his neck with a crunch, Bacardi bounced his body up. Then he began to bluntly raise his demonic energy. “I mean, I can’t live with losing.” “Oh my. Then shan’t live any longer." Hyeon-woo clicked his tongue as if feeling sorry for him. "Fuck, as if I’d let you get away with saying that!" Bacardi, caught up, raised his fists in anger. “I won’t lose this time.” “You don’t have any chains to use on me today?” “I don’t need that shit to win!” "Haha. If you don't have tools, you're just a weak human being, aren't you?" "Dog-shit!" Bacardi stepped up and rushed at Hyeon-woo. Meanwhile, Tiamat hid herself in Bacardi's shadow. Then, as before, she looked for an opportunity to attack Hyeon-woo. “It’s so boring to do the same thing.” Hyeon-woo brushed off his hand and hit Bacardi's fist from the front. "What am I to do if you don’t have the ability to learn after being hit?" Even though the relatively small fist struck, it hurt enough to make Bacardi’s body tremble. Even if he gritted his teeth and tried to attack, he wasn’t able to get in a single hit. As Bacardi was being beaten happily, Tiamat didn't seem much better either. 'It must be this time!'  Things were different from before. Now, Tiamat must not be found out by other humans. Therefore, she could neither return to her body nor exert any more power. "Die!" Even if she tried desperately, it was only a step in place. No, not standing still. When Bacardi, who played the role of a tanker, disappeared, she would have to deal with Hyeon-woo alone– Hyeon-woo, the person who frequently dueled with Alberg, one of the top demons in the Demon Realm! 'Libby!' Now, she had no choice but to buy time while waiting for Libby to return after he had been away for a while. "Ack!" First, Bacardi's leg was broken. He tried to attack even by crawling, but a wild boar that couldn't walk was useless. He broke his arm and lost the use of his limbs. Tiamat got her vaunted fingernails plucked raw. She tried desperately, enduring the pain, but her fingertips couldn't reach him. She was just being teased. “It’s still not enough.” "What!" “You know.” If she had known it would be like this, she would not have kidnapped Ji Seon-woo. How could she have even agreed to such a stupid idea. ‘It was in my stupidity, that it seemed right, when hanging out with Bacardi.’ “Kai, Kaii!” Tiamat called out to Kai. She knows that when the barrier was cast she couldn't move, but she still couldn't help calling her. “Ah, right. Kai. you were there too. You wait a little longer." Hyeon-woo smiled kindly and said. The blood spattered across his white skin looked toxic red. “What would you like to do next? Can you tell me? Tiamat.” "What do you know! Do whatever you want!" “Okay, then let’s start with the fingers.” She was afraid even though she thought she had suffered quite a bit. Because she knew what was coming at the end of it. "Hey. You don't intend to keep me alive, do you?" Hyeon-woo didn't answer anything, but he seemed to understand. 'I just need to hold on a little longer.'  Will she be able to hold out until Libby returns? She was Tiamat, who was called the mad dragon, but she didn't want to die. That was why she endured with more effort. When that one hand ended, the man she wanted so much returned. It was Libby. “Li-Libby.” Tiamat called Libby by name. “Ah, Oh my.” Libby looked down at Tiamat with a pitiful expression. "Help me." “Wait a minute, what is all this?” "Help me." “How many times do I have to tell you not to cause trouble?” “Help me!” As Tiamat raised her voice, Libby lifted his finger and brought it to his mouth. "Shh." Only then did Tiamat shut her mouth. “Was it Ji Hyeon-woo?” “So you’re Libby.” Hyeon-woo stood up while wiping the blood off his cheek. “Looks like you had a great time. But they are my comrades, so why not let them go?” “Comrades. So you're saying you're trash just like them?”  During the last fight, Hyeon-woo couldn't see Libby's face properly. So, in a way, it was like seeing him for the first time today. The smooth-looking man's face was like a statue, but looking at it gave him nausea. "I don't want to cause a fuss. Why don't you just let it go this time? We'll meet again someday anyway." “No, there won’t be a next time.” Hyeon-woo attacked Libby with those words. Libby brushed him away and backed away. Then he took off the coat he was wearing and laid it on the couch where he was rolling. “I heard rumors that you liked to fight with Alberg. Are you stronger than him? Or are you weak?" "Does it matter?" “Isn’t that important?” Libby lifted his body to avoid the sweeping legs on the floor. But that was just what Hyeon-woo did to attack him more comfortably. Immediately, a fist flew out of the air and hit Libby. “It could be meaningful information.” Libby blocked him with the palm of his hand, as though he was just a tingle. “Then just find it out for yourself, whether it’s a big deal.” “It doesn't work like that. I still have a mission to complete.” “What could that mission be?” “It’s important to me.” “Wouldn’t that be more important than life? Get out of the Demon Realm!" Hyeon-woo continued to attack Libby. It seemed that he was controlling his powers because he was inside Kai's barrier, but he could tell. This man was better at fighting than Tiamat. To say he was better at fighting than a dragon that has lived for over a thousand years. Was that even possible? If it was a demon, it was possible. Because they lived as long as dragons and loved battles. So it shouldn't be like this. At this level, he couldn't defeat the demon named Libby. "It's going to be a little annoying." Hyeon-woo looked at Libby with a nervous expression. “If you don't feel like it, you have the opportunity to end it quietly. It's not too late.” "It's too late." Kai's barrier began to shake as his strength and power grew and grew. “It’s dangerous.” Tiamat, who was leaning against the wall at Kai's words, asked. "What?" “I think it’ll be difficult to maintain the barrier any longer.” “You can survive as long as you don’t die anyway, right? Endure more." It was a voice that did not contain the slightest warmth. But there are things you can and cannot do. This was something he couldn't do. “Even if I endure, someone’ll find out. Returning to the main body will make it last longer.” "No. You’ll get caught if your big body is exposed." “But Tiamat.” Tiamat didn't want to listen to Kai any more. He served her because she wanted something, but at times like this, his heart ached. Why couldn't he be respected no matter anywhere he went? Kai swallowed the feeling welling in his throat and held on with all his might. “Hmm, I expected more because you were said to have fought Alberg, but you don't look as strong as I thought.” “I’m not using all my strength. Are you like that too?” "Is that so? So how about doing this? Kai!" "Yes." “Remove the barrier.” It was an unexpected order. "What are you talking about!" Tiamat also seemed perplexed by the order. “He can't hold the barrier any longer. If you go this way, you’ll be caught. If that's the case, it might be better to flaunt it and run away.” “I told you that if you make a mistake, the angels will catch you!” That was why the last battle with Alberg was passive. After all, with time, the world would be in their hands. He had no intention of dealing with Alberg seriously. Alberg seemed to know that and played with him moderately. “It will be alright in a little while.” “How can that be!” Tiamat tried to dissuade Libby, but to no avail.

104.   “No, I can’t just–”   He was the rival that beat Hyeon-woo. To be shaken by the words of such a person? Ga-jun clicked his tongue.   “Please.”   Do-jin looked at Ga-jun with unwavering eyes. That gaze was too direct and deep to resist.   “I hate losing my pride. Come to think of it, I heard you were talking to me the other day?”   “I decided to drop it, since you are not the same as when we first met.”   He should speak softly when he was the one asking. His fist tightened naturally, but he decided to hold it in for now. Ga-jun was also worried about Hyeon-woo.   “You’ll pay off this debt later.”   “As much as you want. Take this in case something happens.”   Do-jin handed over the walkie-talkie to Ga-jun.   “It’ll fare better than a cell phone.”   “Yeah, it looks sturdy.”   “Then, Alberg?”   “Must I guide you?”   “Aren’t you the only one who knows where he is right now?”   Do-jin urged Alberg, who was lying on the sofa. But he didn’t want to get up easily.   “You don’t trust Hyeon-woo?”   “I do. I believe in him, but I want to go just in case.”   “It doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.”   Alberg, who knew Hyeon-woo in the Demon Realm, remained unconcerned throughout. During their last scuffle, Hyeon-woo had been caught in a strange chain and had been unable to fight with his strength, but it seemed unlikely that such a thing would ever happen again.   And even if there was, he wasn’t someone who would fall for the same trick twice.   ‘This time, the other party has no hostages.’   It was a perfect environment for Hyeon-woo to rampage.   ‘Rampage.’   If Do-jin ran into a demon, who would discover he wasn’t the right one to deal with the situation. Although born a human, Hyeon-woo got along well with demons. So he must have survived all the dangers alone.   For that reason, Alberg had no intention of guiding Do-jin to Hyeon-woo.   “Alberg!”   “No matter how many times you say it, I know Alberg is my name.”    “Aren’t you worried about Hyeon-woo?”   “Unn. What are you worried about? Hyeon-woo is cool and strong. And since he was originally from this world, unlike me, he returned here with all his might. You think he might be in danger? Do you think that’s actually likely?”   Wrong. He could tell by looking into Alberg’s eyes. It seems like he couldn’t get along with this Demon.   “Alright. Then I’ll go find it alone.”   He put a shadow on Spotty just in case. The reason he wanted to take Alberg with him was for additional backup. It made him feel more at ease when he wasn’t by Seon-woo’s side.   “Go ahead.”   Alberg lay leisurely on the sofa and waved his hand. Do-jin glared at him and went out the door.   ***   Two-eyed was hiding in the bushes, watching a building in the distance. The building looked ordinary, but the people inside it were unusual. He had quickly confirmed at least one of the persons was Bacardi.   There was also a woman wearing a deep hood, followed by a man wearing a hat. Unlike Bacardi, it was not easy to verify their faces.   “Tiamat.”   But even without seeing it, it seemed to know. The woman wearing the hoodie was Tiamat. If so, the man following her must be Hydra.   ‘I don’t know why they came all the way here and locked themselves in the building. I have to watch until someone else comes.’   Maybe it was a little boring. Still, Two-eyed did not sleep and kept watch properly. While he was watching, another man went inside.   He didn’t know who he was either. Should he watch it a little closer? As he was thinking about it, the man came out and disappeared into the distance. It seemed that  he didn’t have to worry.   At that moment, my spine suddenly felt cold. Someone was approaching from behind. As soon as he felt it, Two-eyed jumped up on the spot.   Tuk.   The moment he turned around, a light hand tapped his back.   “Good job.”   When he heard a familiar voice, his tension subsided.   “How many people are there?”   “Three. Two men, one woman. A man also just went in a little while ago.”   “Do you see any faces?”   “Bacardi. And Tiamat. Hydra.”   “The other one?”   “I don’t know.”   Two-eyed shook his head.   “Well, it won’t matter.”   Hyeon-woo jumped and headed for the building. He had yet to show all his power, even as he had roamed around defeating monsters. He could have been in trouble if he was noticed by others. For now, he threw all restraint aside.   “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”   He had no intention of equalizing it to 1:1. Hyeon-woo opened the door and entered the building.   “What’s this? It tastes awful!”   Tiamat took a bite of the fries Kai had brought her and spat it out.   “What kind of potatoes are so thin? I can’t even taste it.”   Then she naturally peeled the hamburger skin.   “What delicious! You said it would be delicious!”   “Noisy! Just eat!”   “You’re noisy, wild boar!”   “When you’re just a fat lizard.”   Tiamat’s eyes darkened at Bacardi’s words. Fat lizard. They were words used long ago by other races to demean the great dragon. Even if they were just words, it undermined her power. Arrogant ingrates.   Tiamat gritted her teeth and tossed the hamburger onto Bacardi’s back. Of course, Bacardi calmly grabbed it and shoved it into his mouth.    “Yes, education is important for people who have gone without it. It is almost time to tame him.”   “Can you  tame me?”   “Do you think I would have put up with your arrogance if Libby hadn’t told me to be quiet?”   “What are you going to do if you can’t endure it? To fight against Libby’s orders?”   That was not going to happen. Even Tiamat, who ran amok without knowing what to say, had some trouble disobeying Libby’s words. In the end, Tiamat took back her nails.   “The more I look at him, the more I hate him. Kai!”   “Yes, Tiamat-nim.”   “Bring something to eat. Not this trash.”   “Very few places are open at this time.”   “I heard you’re opening a convenience store?”   “That’s true.”   Kai put on a puzzled expression. Would he be able to find food that satisfied her?   Kai put on a puzzled expression. It would not be easy to find food that would satisfy Tiamat at the convenience store. He didn’t know what he would do if he did something wrong, since she would probably just get angry.   “How will you be able to eat convenience store food when you can’t even eat hamburgers?”   “I can eat it. Why can’t you eat?”   “Shut up.”   “You shut up!”   The two continued to fight and pass the time. At this rate, they would defy Libby’s orders and fight. While Kaiman was in trouble, the two who were blaming each other stopped their actions. And at the same time, they looked at the first floor, where the door to the building was.   “Who’s coming?”   “Who else? A neighbor?”   “What the hell. You idiot. What kind of neighbor has this kind of aura?”   It was such a creepy vibe. Tiamat looked down nervously. The intruder seemed to have no intention of hiding his presence. She was slowly heading upward, making footsteps.   “Is it an enemy?”   Bacardi grinned as he pressed his fists together.   ‘That fool!’   An unknown depth of murderous aura had strangled Tiamat. But Bacardi didn’t seem to feel it at all. If he could feel it, he wouldn’t have done anything stupid like that.   Tiamat’s eyes rolled. The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the room on the second floor where they stood still.   “Libby?”   She called out a name she knew, but there was no answer.   Knock knock.   Someone knocked on the door.   “Oh my, it’s teasing me.”   Bacardi shook his fist as he approached the door. Considering his usual behavior, it seemed that he was intending to hit the intruder beyond the door.   “Don’t do it.”   Tiamat warned, but to no avail. Bacardi grinned and punched the door.   Bang!   A roar of fists sounded. With that much power, an ordinary human would have been crushed to death. As the wall collapsed, the dust that rose up obscured the view.   ‘If it was a normal human being.’   Tiamat involuntarily took a step back.   “I’ll close the barrier for now.”   Yeah, that was right. Libby told them to wait here without anyone finding out. But they didn’t know. They had to follow Libby’s words, but her instincts were sounding a warning.   ‘Let’s run away.’   Thud!   There was another roar, and Bacardi flew backwards. Had it not been for the barrier Kai had created, he might have penetrated through the wall as well. His large body collided with the barrier, causing it to tremble.   “Huh?”   The newly raised dust did not settle until after some time had passed. Tiamat was then able to see the intruder’s face.    “Hyeon-woo.”   “Hi.”   Hyeon-woo, wearing black gloves, closed his eyes and smiled.   “Nice to see you again, Tiamat.”   “Is it? I didn’t really want to see you again.”   “Too bad. I missed you.”   Creepy. She got goosebumps.   ‘I want to run away. I don’t like to run away.’   ‘I want to fight. I don’t want to fight.’   Conflicting emotions set her body on fire.   “Ahaha.”   Tiamat scratched her own cheek with her fingernails. The burning pain and the smell of blood seemed to calm her raging emotions.   Support on Kofi Chapter 105 Chapter 106, 107,108, 109, 110 ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag YRR: LET’S GO!

91.   The atmosphere at the meeting was much better than I expected.   Water, the Guild master, and Harn, and the guild manager, did a great job of helping first-time visitors not to feel lost. As everyone started talking to each other about Zenoris, a topic that everyone could relate to, the awkward atmosphere began to disappear like melting snow.   I, too, am not a very shy person, so I was able to enjoy it in moderation. Two hours had passed as I ate meat and chatted with The Hunter and Staric, who were sitting on my sides.   I was full and lazily sat in front of the warm fire, but  I got up from the chair to get some air since I felt a little stuffy. At that moment, Water and Harn stood up together and said.   “We’re going to go to the convenience store for a bit. Sleepy, do you want to come with us?”   “Yes.”   I put on a coat and left the restaurant with the three of us. In the newly overcast sky, snow was falling as I had feared.   ‘It’ll be a hassle when I go home.’   Not only was it snowing, but the wind was stronger than before, so I felt like I would get quite wet without an umbrella. As I walked towards the convenience store that was 5 minutes away, I was the first to open my mouth.   “There are minors and people who are only going for the first round, so I wanted to give them a simple snack.”   Ahh. I nodded towards Water’s explanation.   I felt it before, but Water was a person with really good sense. So, she can probably manage a gaming guild while working at her job.   “Your name is Yoo Ji-han, right? I briefly heard you talking with Hunter earlier. I am Kang Ji-ye and Harn is Park Yoo-jun.”   I was secretly grateful for their consideration in telling me their names first without having to ask. It was already a bit burdensome for people to call me by my username.   “Can I call you Noona as well?”   “Of course.”   Kang Ji-ye and Park Yu-jun arrived at the convenience store and purchased several light snacks such as jelly and candy.   It was a time when I was debating whether or not to buy an umbrella while the two people were paying the bill. A message arrived on the cell phone I had in my pants pocket.   [Chae Yoo-jeong: Hyung, it’s been snowing since a while ago]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: Did you take your umbrella?]   [Yoo Ji-han: No, that’s why I’m thinking about buying one.]   While replying, Kang Ji-ye and Park Yoo-jun finished paying and left the convenience store. I was so busy looking at my phone that I missed the right time to buy an umbrella, so I just followed along.   Now that I think about it, it was a bit annoying to carry an umbrella when I came to visit. It would be better to stop by the nearby convenience store later when I go home.   “Well, Ji-han. Would you like to talk to me for a moment?”   Kang Ji-ye, who returned to the restaurant again, handed the paper bag she was holding to Park Yoo-jun and asked. Park Yoo-jun nodded obediently, looking as if he had some business on his face, and went in first, holding the bag.   Kang Ji-ye, who was standing under the tent pitched next to the restaurant entrance and looking at the drifting snow, cautiously opened her mouth.   “It’s not that big of a deal, but I was curious.”   “What is it?”   “Yoo Chae quit the guild last month.”   Aah. Only then did I realize what Kang Ji-ye wanted to know and I answered as calmly as possible.   “I know.”   “He said he had to leave in a hurry for some reason, but he explained everything to you. Do you two still keep in touch?”   “No, we don’t.”   “Uh? You’re not keeping in touch?”   Kang Ji-ye was visibly surprised, probably thinking I would be as a matter of course.   “Why didn’t you two do it? Did you two fight?”   “We didn’t fight... I don’t know. It just so happened to be like that.”   There was no contact from Yoo Chae, so he thought about saying ‘That was it.’ but then changed his mind. If he thought about it, he didn’t contact him either.   If he was really disappointed that he didn’t contact me first, he should have taken the initiative instead of waiting in frustration.   “Noona does it, right? In touch with Yoo Chae.”   “Ha, of course.”   Kang Ji-ye, who was looking at me without knowing what to do, added sheepishly.   “I’m not in touch much either. I’ve known him for a long time, but we’re not close.”   “Is he doing well?”   “...It seemed so. Sorry. Even though he stopped playing games, I thought he would contact you because he was so close to you.”   “It’s okay. There’s nothing for you to apologize for.”   “It’s a shame. You two had an enjoyable time. Of course, Yoo Chae did a lot of harm to you.”   “It seemed like he was terribly busy. It can’t be helped.”   Perhaps Yoo Chae wanted to put an end to the relationships he had earned through the game as he quit because he seemed like the type of person who completely separates games from reality. Whatever the answer was, it was now a thing of the past.   ‘I’m glad you’re doing well though.’   Even though the relationship has ended, I hope everything goes well for him. He said he was quitting because he was busy with work, so it would be nice for him to make a lot of money.   As I looked at the white snowflakes falling in the pitch-black night sky, my cell phone, which I had forgotten about since I tucked it back in at the convenience store earlier, vibrated again.   “Wait a minute.”   It was Chae Yoo-jeong’s call. I asked for Kang Ji-ye’s understanding and answered the phone, and then I heard a familiar voice.   -Hyung, are you still eating?   “I just finished eating and taking a short break. Why?”   -I sent you a message, but you didn’t read it. Did you buy an umbrella?   “I’m going to buy it when I get home later.”   Why is he asking in such detail? I frowned slightly in confusion, and Chae Yoo-jeong, who hesitated, continued.   -Actually, I’m at Gangnam Station right now....   -Yes. Hyung, if you’re going home now, I’d like to give you a ride.   “What? Now?”   Oh my god. I let out a sigh and touched my forehead.   “Since when have you been out?”   -Not long ago. And since my accommodation is in Gangnam, it’s not that far away.   “Ha... Wait a minute.”   I took my cell phone away from my ear and asked Kang Ji-ye, who had a puzzled look on her face, with an apologetic expression.   “Noona. Now, if we are going to the second round, can I go first? A Dongsaeng I know came to pick me up because it’s snowing.”   “Oh, really? Of course I don’t mind. Well, I’ll give you some candy. Would you like to stay here for a while? Let’s eat together with that Dongsaeng.”   “Thank you.”   “What are you doing with this? I’ll come back, so just wait.”   Kang Ji-ye went into the restaurant to pick up the snacks she had entrusted to Park Yoo-jun. Left alone, I immediately informed Chae Yoo-jeong of my location.   “Just go straight from Exit 11 of Gangnam Station and enter the alley.”   -I’m near exit 11. I’ll be there right away.   Chae Yoo-jeong appeared holding an umbrella less than 5 minutes after I hung up the phone.   “Hyung!”   Chae Yoo-jeong spotted me and came running towards me with a bright smile. I followed suit and walked towards Chae Yoo-jeong, and he tilted the umbrella towards me.   “Can you go home? Isn’t there a second round or something?”   “Others will go. You came, so how can I not leave?”   “Is that why you’re not going to the second round?”   “Then I should ignore the person who came to pick me up and go for the second round? He came on his own without even asking me.”   Yoo-jeong just smiled shyly and chattered excitedly, as if he couldn’t even hear the sarcasm.   “I didn’t force you; I was just trying to give you a ride because I live in Gangnam and Hyung lives in Gangnam too! It’s snowing and windy, so it’s nice to drive in my car. I was about to give up when Hyung said he would go to the second round…”   “I understand, so stop. Where did you leave your car?”   “There’s a parking lot right in front, so I parked there for a moment.”   “Ji-han-ah.”   Kang Ji-ye opened the convenience store door with a bag of candy in her hand and came out. She was very embarrassed when she found Chae Yoo-jeong standing next to me.   Why are you looking at him like that? Did you recognize Chae Yoo-jeong? She gently handed the bag of candy, while covering her body.   “Thank you. I’ll just go now.”   At those words, Kang Ji-ye moved her line from Chae Yoo-jeong to me with difficulty.   “Ah, uh, un... take care and go. See you later at the game.”   “Yes.”   After the greeting was over, I immediately grabbed Chae Yoo-jeong’s arm and walked ahead.   I was so worried that someone would recognize him, but Chae Yoo-jeong, who was being dragged by his arm, seemed to have no idea. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was quietly following me, spoke in a soft voice.   “Hyung, is that the Noona you were with when you called earlier?”   “Uh-huh, she’s the Guild master.”   I thought he might be jealous, so I looked at his expression and didn’t see anything like that. Are you pretending not to be like that?   “If I was born a little earlier I would have been able to hear Hyung’s voice calling me Hyung too.”   In the parking lot, before Chae Yoo-jeong got inside the car, he stood facing me.   “Thanks. Thanks to you, I can get home without being snowed on.”   “No.”   I looked at Chae Yoo-jeong with a new feeling.   Even though the child has a few accidents, he is very considerate. He has a pretty face and did an excellent job, so he must be very popular. While I was leaving, I asked about something I had been curious about before.   “Chae Yoo-jeong.”   “Yes.”   “How many times have you been in relationships?”   “What?”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been standing blankly for a while, blinking, averted his gaze afterwards as if she was embarrassed.   “...Why suddenly?”   “I feel like you’ve been in one quite a bit.”   “No.......”   “How many times?”   He’s having strange delusions by himself again.   “Don’t talk nonsense. No matter how much older you are than me, I will never call you Hyung.”   “Why? What’s wrong with calling me Hyung?”   “Are you asking because you really don’t know?”   When I asked this question while getting inside the parked car, Chae Yoo-jeong refuted it quite seriously.   “Given your personality, I’m sure you’ll call me Hyung, right?”   “I’d rather show courtesy to a dog than call you Hyung.”   “You’re too much!”   “You don’t have a conscience because you always cause accidents like that and want to be praised by your Hyung.”   We headed home, having a useless conversation with Chae Yoo-jeong that wouldn’t make sense even if I tried to make sense of it.   While eating the candy Kang Ji-ye gave me with Chae Yoo-jeong, I looked out the window. Meanwhile, the snowflakes became thicker and began to fall so hard that they piled up.   Chae Yoo-jeong also noticed that the weather was becoming increasingly rough and slowed down the car further. Due to the weather and the Saturday streets of Gangnam, the car moved very slowly.   We barely arrived at our room after nearly an hour. After parking, he followed me out of the car.   Chae Yoo-jeong pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, then he answered stiffly.   “I haven’t tried it…”   A cold silence fell between me and Chae Yoo-jeong.   As I watched in silence, Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been fidgeting for a while, closed his eyes tightly.   “Well, I guess I’ll just go now…”   “Where are you going?”   He threw a bomb and tried to run away. I grabbed Chae Yoo-jeong’s arm as I tried to turn his body.   “Are you serious? You haven’t been in a relationship?”   “……Yes.”   “Why not? What’s the reason?”   “……”   “Are you a believer in premarital chastity or something? I heard devout religious people don’t date well.”   “No. I don’t have a religion.”   “Then?”   Chae Yoo-jeong lowered his head with an expression of uncertainty and answered in his slow tone.   “There wasn’t a single person who wanted to do it. If I didn’t like it, it would be obvious...”   “Uh-huh. You have a bad personality.”   “How does Hyung know that?”   “Am I stupid? Not knowing that?”   I was convinced by the way he started cursing me right away when I tried to take off the belt, but I had a bad feeling about it many times before.   He’s the kind of guy who pays attention to me and argues with me right away even if he likes me. He would do more to others, not less.   “I never disliked being in a relationship with Hyung.”   “What did you do with me?”   As I laughed out loud, Chae Yoo-jeong glared at me even though he was sullen.   “You didn’t even give me a chance to try it.”   “What did you mean I didn’t give you a chance? It’s because I gave you a chance that you and I are doing this now.”   “We haven’t even been on a date yet.”   “Date? You’ve been through it a lot.”   “I didn’t do it......”   You didn’t? I was dumbfounded again.   “Why do you think you can only date after a relationship? Do you know how many times you and I met and ate alone?”   “That’s.......”   “When you were drunk, I took you to my room instead of sending you in a taxi alone. We slept together and had breakfast together.”   “……”   “You brought me a cake for Christmas, and we ended up spending time together, but you and I didn’t go on a date?”   The more I spoke, the more Chae Yoo-jeong’s ears became red.   The more I looked at this, the more curious it became. Unlike me, whose skin rarely gets red, Chae Yoo-jeong flushed very easily. His skin was unusually white, which made it stand out.   “Sorry. I didn’t know much. It’s true that we went on a date.”   “It’s all like that. There aren’t many people who start dating right away because they like the person. I especially value the time we get to know each other.”   Chae Yoo-jeong slowly raised his head. Chae Yoo-jeong’s face, looking at me with his lips tightly closed, showed so many complex emotions that it was difficult for me to explain.   Chae Yoo-jeong’s hair, standing under the yellow streetlight, sparkled like a jewel. I could see snowflakes falling from the sky over the shoulder of the guy standing close to me.   I could instinctively know what the atmosphere was like without having to say anything. Even if it was only in my thoughts, I was certain that this moment was perfect timing.   I stretched out my hand and grabbed the lapel of Chae Yoo-jeong’s coat and pulled it straight. Chae Yoo-jeong did not refuse and was dragged along obediently by that force.   His now familiar soft scent passed the tip of my nose, and a soft touch brushed my lips. I carefully kissed Chae Yoo-jeong and slowly fell apart. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 92 Chapter 93, 94, 95, 96 HM: I thought Water Noona knew him fr. wwwwwwww.

90.   [Chae Yoo-jeong: Hyung]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: You said you were going out today, right?]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: It’s super cold (emoticon)]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: Dress warmly!]   [Yoo Ji-han: Are you coming?]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: Where are we going?]   [Chae Yoo-jeong: Is it far?]   [Yoo Ji-han: No]   [Yoo Ji-han: Gangnam Station]   I put on reasonably neat clothes and left the house.   As soon as I came out of the building, a sharp wind passed through my body. The weather conditions were not particularly good, with the sky overcast and gray, as well as very windy.   ‘It might rain later.’   The Meteorological Administration’s information only said it was cloudy, so I was hesitant to bring an umbrella. After thinking about it for a while, I gave up on the umbrella because I didn’t want to go up again and I was being lazy too.   [Drink some water: Are you coming?]   [Drink some water: It’s too late, so if you can, come and eat some meat]   [This is Dorahee: I’m coming there! Haha]   [Bright Clouds: around there]   [Gugusudal: On the way~ (emoticon)]   [Gugusudal: I’ll be about 10 minutes late. The bus has just stopped.]   [Harn: fr You guys, the road is no joke..]   [Harn: So I gave up on that bus and took the subway]   [Gugusudal: Oh, I should have gone too.]   [Seasoned Crab Soup: Who comes from the farthest?]   [Mocha Bread bread bread: Isn’t it you, Seasoned Crab Soup?]   [TheHunter: yeah I think it’s seasoned crab]   [Seasoned Crab Soup: Oh, that’s right]   [Seasoned Crab Soup: Since I’m from Daejeon, I’m staying overnight in Seoul today]   [Bright Clouds: It’s fortunate that you’re in Daejeon]   [Bright Clouds: If you were from Busan, it would have been difficult to come ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋ]   [Seasoned Crab Soup: It’s tough in Busan fr]   [Monster born from Capitalism: Let’s just run with the adults until it’s time for the first train ㅋㅋㅋ]   [Harn: huh?]   [Seasoned crab soup: Not bad]   [Harn: Otherwise, drink the second drink and then drink the third drink.]   [Crazy Hunting friend: I’m jealous of you guys]   [Crazy Hunting friend: It’s true that I can’t drink because I don’t have enough days before I’m legal ㅠㅠ]   [Crazy Hunting friend: (emoticon)]   [I’m sleepy: Turns out crazy hunting friend is a student]   [I’m sleepy: Did you do well on the CSAT?]   Last time I heard, I thought he said he was in his third year of high school. I was so busy with Yoo Chae that I didn’t know anything about what happened after that.   Hey. I just asked this as a greeting, what kind of response did he get?   [Crazy about hunting: !!!]   [Crazy about hunting: Huh....]   [Crazy about hunting: (emoticon)]   [Harn: omg omg omg]   [The Hunter: omg omg]   [I’m sleepy:?]   [Harn: The Department of Architecture at Korea University asks..]   [Harn: Did you do well on the CSAT?]   [Park Seungkon-ssi: Kya]   [Park Seungkon-ssi: Force omg omg]   [Bright Clouds: fckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]   [I’m getting lazy: So crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]   [I’m sleepy: No;]   [Crazy Hunting Friend: I feel a sense of relative deprivation right nowㅠ]   [Harn: I agree...]   [Crazy Hunting Friend: Ha the mental damage is too great..]   [Bright Clouds: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]   [Monster born from Capitalism: Sleepy-nim, I didn’t see u around]   [Drink some water: fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]   [Drink some water: Relative deprivation is crazy]   [Let’s do this: Wow, this is big]   [Let’s do this: Sleepy-nim, all the images I’ve built up are about to fly away;;;]   [I’m sleepy: What are you talking about?

I asked without notice. In my mind, I cheered for Crazy Hunting Friend’s future and started moving again.   ***   “Noona.”   “Oh, are you here?”   Harn waved and approached Water, who was standing in front of the restaurant looking at her cell phone.   The two had known each other in the guild for two years and had met several times in real life. Although they called each other ‘nim’ in the game, in real life they were like older and younger siblings.   The two people met 30 minutes before the meeting time and went into the restaurant and headed to the room they had reserved. As it was a game gathering where people living in various places gathered, Water, the Guild master, and Harn, the guild manager, arrived early to make things run smoothly.   “There must be a lot of new people this year.”   Harn filled a glass with water and handed it to Water, who showed the name and room number used when making the reservation to the group chat room.   “Yes. I think there will be more than twice as many people as last year.”   As the guild grew significantly over the past year, many different people joined the guild. Of course, there were guild members who had attended last year’s meeting like Harn, but there were many more guild members who were meeting for the first time.   Harn, who was rolling his eyes with a meek face, said with his signature smile.   “Personally, I’m most curious about Sleepy-nim.”   “Me too.”   Water grinned along with Harn. There wasn’t a guild member who wasn’t curious, but the best of them all was ‘I’m sleepy.’ From the time he joined the guild in the summer until now, they had no choice but to look forward to it as he was the one who brought them a lot of fun.   In particular, in the selection match against Fever, they were thankful because if they hadn’t noticed the opponent’s tactics quickly, there would have been chaos.   “Is this the right place? Hello.”   “Gasp, Noona! It’s been a really long time. It’s been a while, Harn.”   After about 10 minutes, the attendees of the monthly meeting began to arrive one or two at a time. Let’s do this and Bright Clouds arrived first, and after that, guild members came one after another.   The room quickly became noisy just by saying hello to new people and making small talk. The number of people had already surpassed 10, so Harn ordered meat, while Water greeted the people.   “Hello.”   The 13th man to arrive opened the door and entered the room. When a handsome man with jet-black hair and a cold expression appeared, everyone looked at him with interest.   “Hello. Um... username?”   When Water asked, who greeted by everyone who came near the door, with an awkward smile, the person on the other end slightly raised the corners of his mouth and answered.   “I’m Sleepy.”   The face that seemed cold became soft with just that faint smile. He bowed his head in greeting and shook hands with Water.   “Wow, welcome. I’m Water.”   It is true that she was most looking forward to the moment when she would meet him, she never would have thought such a handsome man would come. While she was in shock while seeing ‘I’m sleepy,’ two more men came in behind him.   “I recognized you at a glance.”   “Don’t lie. Saying you can tell who someone is at a glance… And why are you speaking informally?”   “Oh my, I didn’t even realize it. I’m sorry.”   The impressions of the two people who came in while arguing were clearly polar opposites.   The black-haired man who looked irritated with a furrowed brow seemed more pretty than handsome, while the brown-haired man standing next to him had a gentle aura on his smiling face.   “Welcome. What are your usernames?”   Harn hurried forward and greeted the two men. Then both people answered at the same time.   “It’s Hunter.”   “It’s Staric.”   Crazy. The eyes of the embarrassed Harn, Water, and the sitting guild members focused on the three people.   Harn, who came to his senses belatedly, raised his slightly drooping glasses and asked.   “Did you two come here together?”   “No. We met by chance at the entrance of the store.”   Staric answered as he sat down in the empty seat. The seat next to him was filled by The Hunter, and the seat in front was filled by I’m sleepy.   “As soon as I saw you, I knew it was Hunter. Hunter didn’t seem to know me.”   “What. Then why don’t you just proudly pretend to know? You pretended to know only after I got to the front of the room.”   “Huh? I guess you were disappointed.”   “Don’t talk nonsense.”   The Hunter, who responded harshly to Staric’s joke, finally noticed the man ‘I’m sleepy’ sitting across from him and tilted his head.   “What’s your username?”   “I’m sleepy.”   As he recited exactly what he said when introducing himself earlier, The Hunter’s black eyes sparkled with joy.   “I wanted to meet you for a long time. If it’s okay, can you tell me your real name? I’m Lee Cha-hyun.”   “You can call me Yoo Ji-han.”   Staric, who had been watching the conversation between the two with a smile, suddenly joined in.   “I’m Seo Jeong-heon.”   “What, man, why do you keep interfering?”   “Because it looks fun?”   Harn, who was watching the three people sitting at the end of the table talking, spoke to Water in a deep voice.   “Focusing on that side is really not a joke... Is this okay?”   “There’s nothing I can do about it. You can’t kick him out just because he’s handsome.”   “He said he was ‘I’m sleepy.’ since you had something to talk about separately with him later, I wonder if you can even call him out in this state…”   “I know.......”   After hearing Harn’s concerns, Water let out a deep sigh.   --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 91, 92 Chapter 93, 94, 95, 96 HM: I couldn’t help but smile.   We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

103.   “Don’t you have your car keys?”   Since it was Seon-woo’s car, there was no way Ga-jun had the keys. Instead, there was another key stuck in a blue truck parked outside the garage. It seemed that the person managing the villa had forgotten to take out the key and left.   “Whelp, what is this?”   In harder times, he had driven cars worse than this one. Ga-jun waved to Miriel, who followed him.   “Get in.”   “But the other one is cooler?”   “I can’t drive it.”   “Why?”    “There’s something I need that’s missing. Stop talking back and get in.”   Only then did Miriel climb into the passenger seat. Fortunately, the truck was still in good condition. It was a little lacking compared to the vehicle he usually rode in, but the speed wasn’t that bad. It was night and it was a bit rough because it was a mountain road, but the driver was an S-class Awakened. It would be strange if something happened.   “It would be faster to fly.”   Miriel complained in the middle, but he ignored it lightly. Even if she said she could fly, Ga-jun couldn’t. How far would he go like that? They were finally able to get off the mountain and onto the asphalt road.   “Let’s see.”   For now, it seemed like they had to go to the nearest Baekho Guild branch. He could go and contact the Deputy Guild Leader and ask her to bring him a car. Anything other than this truck seemed fine. Fortunately, the nearest point was not far away.   “Arrived!”   Standing in front of a neatly erected three-story building, Ga-jun stretched out.   “Is this home?”   “No, this is not home.”   “Then where are?”   “Could you be quiet for a bit?”   After saying that, he knocked on the closed door, not paying attention even though it was late at night.   “Who the hell is coming this late at night?”   The disgruntled guard patrolling the building face came out and immediately recognized Ga-jun. Most of the S-class Awakened in Korea did not have to prove their identity separately because their faces were on broadcasts.   “Guild leader!”   The frightened guard froze stiffly, then hurriedly picked up the radio. Ten minutes after that, a fat middle-aged man hurriedly ran up from afar.   “Guild leader? You’re the Guild Leader? What are you doing here?”    The branch manager who came out to greet Ga-jun was extremely nervous. Because it was unlikely that a Guild Leader would find a branch for no reason.    Contrary to his concerns, however, Ga-jun stopped by with the intention of borrowing a phone.   ‘Well, it’s not bad to be treated like that.’   He was a bit tired because he had been cleaning up after other people.   ‘Even though I was not originally like that.’   A lot of his personality had died.   “Please eat inside.”   The branch manager crouched and guided Ga-jun and Miriel to the reception room. As soon as the two of them sat down, two cups of coffee were placed in front of them as if they had been prepared in advance.   “The first thing I need:”   Ga-jun put the broken phone down on the table.   “A new phone and a car.”   “If it’s a car, you mean any car?”   “Don’t you have anything nicer?”   “Ah, understood sir. If it’s a car, I’ll prepare it quickly.”   “You know the car I usually drive, right?”   Yeah, here was the normal Do Ga-jun. Ga-jun smiled and asked the manager for a few things.   Even if he took something, he could return it later. He didn’t feel any remorse. It was late at night, so the cell phone store may have closed, but they would be able to take care of that too.   “It’ll be ready soon!”   As the branch manager disappeared with his fat belly, another employee standing next to him naturally filled the empty coffee cup.   “Hmm?”   Miriel looked at Ga-jun with her strange eyes. He had seemed to be at the bottom of their party just by looking at what he was doing, but it didn’t seem like that now. He seemed to have a fairly high social status, judging from how other humans treated him.   ‘Hmm. Compared to normal humans, he’s on the strong side.’   She just didn’t notice it because she had been among strong people. The minute hand of the clock hanging on the wall moved slowly and time passed.   “Let’s just go out and look outside.”   After about 30 minutes, Ga-jun spat out words as if he was bored. And after a while, there was a commotion outside.   “You can’t go in there carelessly!”   “Who are you?”   It looked like they were trying to stop it from the outside, but to no avail. Sensing the power, they couldn’t stop him.   “Haa. This is annoying.”   Ga-jun scratched his head and walked out the door.   “Stop. Han Do-jin.”   Then the shadow that drove the others subsided. However, even when the shadows faded, no one was seen there.   ‘My insides feel like twisting.’   In this small time, Han Do-jin seemed to have improved again. He didn’t come, only sending a shadow. He didn’t know where he was, but to be able to separate and send the shadows this far?   “What are you doing? You want to fight?”   The tone of the speech came out violently.   “No.”   A shadow the size of a child rose from the center and opened its mouth. It is a bizarre figure as if the shadow were talking.   “Then, why are you at the Baekho Guild?”   “Isn’t this a branch?”   “The branch is also the Baekho Guild’s.”   At those words, the branch manager, who had been trembling with the new cell phone, showed a moved expression on his face. Although Ga-jun didn’t care about him at all.   “So what’s your business here? There must be a reason for this uproar.”   “Can you come over here for a moment?”   “Where to?”   “Hanbit General Hospital.”   “Where is that?”   When he asked again because it was absurd, the branch manager intervened and explained.   “It’s a hospital not far from here!”   “Why are you there?”   “It was the closest spot I could land the helicopter to you.”   “What are you going to do by putting me in the helicopter?”   “I have a favor to ask you.”   “Oh my~.”   Ga-jun clapped his hands.   “Do you call threats favors these days?”   “It’s not a threat. These little shadows cannot harm others. It’s too much for me if you say that.”   “Well then. Let’s hear what that favor is for now.”   “Please protect Ji Seon-woo.”   ‘Is he crazy?’ A harsh sound almost came out of his mouth.   “Don’t you know that it’s a mess between me and Ji Seon-woo?”   “But haven’t you guys been doing well lately?”   “Do you mean that we were getting along well when we looked at each other as a cow and a chicken?”   “Please. At this rate, Hyeon-woo is in danger.”   “Hyeon-woo — what?”   Those words changed Ga-jun’s heart.   “Once you arrive, I’ll explain it to you.”   After saying that, the shadow disappeared in an instant. It seemed to have run out of power.   “Are you going or not?”   Miriel, who had approached the troubled Ga-jun with a cup of coffee, added her words.   “I’ll go. Don’t you like Hyeon-woo?”   “How do you know that?”   “I have that kind of good sense too.”    “Ah yeah.”   Miriel spoke confidently, but she didn’t seem like the type to really have that kind of good sense. Ga-jun let out a sigh.   “Yeah, fine. Let’s go.”   Because Han Do-jin was not the kind of person who would lie about something like this.   “Cell phone.”   As Ga-jun said that and stretched out his hand, the branch manager put the box he was holding in his hand.   “Here you go! I was able to open a shop to get you one.”    That was fairly good. It would normally be impossible to open a store at this time of night; he didn’t know how they did it. Well, no wonder that he was the branch manager with this capability.   “What about the car?”   “I have it ready! I was only able to prepare a domestic car in the rush, but I think you will like them nonetheless.”   “Whatever.”   Ga-jun took over the car keys and walked out of the building.   “You drank it well.”   Miriel, who passed the coffee cup to a nearby security guard, followed.   “It’s better than before.”   “Anything is better than that old truck.”   Ga-jun went straight to Hanbit General Hospital. As soon as he arrived, someone who had been waiting for him escorted him to the rooftop. There was already a helicopter ready.   While riding the helicopter to their final destination, Ga-jun learned of the situation.   “So Hyeon-woo went alone to seek revenge? Why didn’t you stop him?”   He was about to go crazy.   “Because I promised to protect his brother.”   “What? Seon-woo is lying down and resting. What’s the danger!”   “You never know.”   “Aigo.”   He felt like his head was hurting.   “So please help.”   “Why me! Call someone else! You’re on good terms with the Yoram Guild.”   “But there are still many things the Yoram Guild doesn’t know.”   Seon-woo had already confided about the demons, but Do-jin and Ga-jun did not know about it.    “Then I’d rather go. You protect Ji Seon Woo.”   “That doesn’t work. Aren’t you weaker than me?”   “Wow, you’re taunting me openly?”    Ga-jun laughed fiercely and glared at Do-jin.   “It’s true though.”   He knew he could say everything if it was true. He had thought Do-jin was putting on a calm front when they had first met. This was simply Do-jin’s nature.   “Fuck. Then can you trust and entrust this task to me, who is such a weak person?”   “Yes.”   “Why do you believe that again?”   “During our time we were together, I decided that at least you wouldn’t stab me in the back.”   He wouldn’t? It was a ridiculous story for Ga-jun, who had tried to stab Ji Seon-woo in the back of the head several times before.   That was how Ga-jun was supposed to live originally. They had lived in a world where it was kill or be killed. Far from honesty, close to villany.    “By the way.”   When he heard Do-jin’s words, his heart thumped. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: (The best comment of the chapter) Gajun is kind too.
