Chapter 99 – Keun Muk Ja Black (2)

Dark Purple (2)

A little bit of sunlight warmly wrapped around the table.

I stared at Linnea across from the hot steam rising from the cup of coffee.

She turned her body almost completely in her chair and stared at the door to her bedroom.

The clear eyes met at the bedroom door following that gaze.

It was only after our eyes met that Cha Seol-hee’s eyes drew a bright smile.

Eyes that stare at me and Linnea alternately, sending silent support.

Thud-!

The bedroom door closed, and after a while, Linnea returned her upper body with a creaking gesture.

“…”

A gaze fixed on the teacup that vomits white steam without making a sound of breathing.

A small smile naturally flowed from her gestures, which showed off the awkwardness of being very awkward.

As Cha Seol-hee said, it was timidity that could not be inferred from her appearance.

The reason why you haven’t been very active in broadcasting or other media in the meantime is because of this personality, not because of language problems.

“It’s a little funny.”
“… Yes?”

After opening her mouth with a small smile, Linnea lifted her eyes fixed on the teacup.

I stared into the blue eyes of the girl I finally met and put on a slightly shameless expression.

“No- it’s so awkward to do something I wouldn’t do with Seol-hee and Hayan-i.”
“… Yes?”
“I’ll just be comfortable talking to those two as I do.”
“… Yes?”

Linnea repeated the same question like a broken tape recorder.

I leaned back in her chair as I watched her gradually change into an expression similar to the one she had when Seol-hee brought her into her arms.

Fluff-

A sip of coffee in a more comfortable position.

Linnea, who has not yet caught up on the conversation, is captured in her gaze as she slightly bends down to put the teacup back on the saucer.

“So-“

Linnea’s thoughts returned to me at the soft opening of the words again.

“How do you feel about seeing a slave camp in a very terrifying world?”

I deliberately asked her with her accent and playful smile, which gave her a bunch of strength.

“…”

Linnea remains silent for a long time after my question is over.

I calmly waited for Linnea, who was recalling the library Cha Seol-hee had guided her to.

“… It wasn’t, it wasn’t so terrifying, it wasn’t like a slave camp.”
“You must have heard that White’s kidnapping was a misunderstanding.”

Complementing Linnea’s answer, he shrugged his shoulders calmly.

Lynnea, who had been looking at me with quite calm eyes, quietly reached out her hand.

Widely-!

A glass bottle suddenly jumped out of the air and was caught in Linnea’s hand.

Gently shaking the glass bottle filled with golden halo, she asked me.

“So, so this— is this really a drug that cures an infection? No— hey, is it medicine?”

As if she couldn’t lose to my comfortable tone, she gritted her teeth and continued to talk her way.

I silently nodded her head to Linnae, who felt more awkward after I said it.

“… So, does eating this make you immune to infections?”
“It’s not that tidy. How much does it nullify the infection once?”

Of course, duplicate use is possible.

As the explanation continued, Linnea’s eyes widened more and more.

At the end of the last addition, Linnea, who was staring blankly at her glass bottle, muttered quietly.

“… It’s an incredible ability.”
“I was lucky.”

Ugh-!

I expressed my ceremonial humility and invoked partial incompetence in my right hand.

Linnea’s eyes alternate between the golden light in the glass bottle and the golden light rising from my hand.

“Anyway, why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“… Huh?”
“I thought you would have checked the authenticity of it, of course.”

A cure for infection made with superpowers.

To be honest, when you hear it for the first time, it sounds so absurd, right?

He tilted his head slightly while staring at Rinnea.

Embarrassment flickers across Linnea’s face as she gazes at her with curiosity.

“… Whoa, didn’t have time to check. When Seol-hee returned so quickly, I urged her, and because Seol-hee gave it to me in the first place…”

… Puck.

Even with that personality, I will create a situation where I can suddenly check the infection cure.

Still, these questions and answers gave me a rough idea of ​​how she was running her boarding camp.

No, there was a high probability that it was very far from the words ‘operation’ or ‘domination’ in the first place.

Temporary leader of the dormitory area.

I nodded my head, remembering her title that was marked on the north side of the university.

“Well, even if you don’t want to check the authenticity, sooner or later there will come a time when you will have to do it.”
“…”

Rinnea’s expression darkened at my calmly thoughtful words.

“… White kidnapped, our camp as it is, and finally the ability I have.”

I shrugged my shoulders, calmly retracing the conversation we had so far.

“Is there anything more to prove here?”
“…”
“I think this should be enough reason to join hands with me instead of Nam Doyoon.”

Linnea’s eyes began to tremble slowly at the quiet chanting.

I continued to say the next thing, staring into those eyes.

“There is no reason to maintain an alliance with Nam Do-yoon anymore, and isn’t this side already almost like a family?”

Seolhee, Hayani and you.

“There’s no reason why those sticky High Queens should fight each other.”

Furthermore-

I stretched out my last words a bit and pointed to the golden halo that was still in her grasp.

“Even thinking about the future, it goes without saying that my ability will be much more useful to the camp members than the circus ability to levitate.”
“… Jang Deok-gu.”

A name that quietly cuts off the ensuing persuasion.

“At the agricultural college, I saw people who suffered from that child. A really, really dangerous and bad guy, that guy.”
“…”
“Are you going to kill me? No, even if they don’t kill you, they won’t punish you or keep you around, right?”

It was the last question.

Without a doubt, the moment she nods her head here, Linnea will change Pia from the white army to the black army without the slightest regret.

Lynnea stares at me with a little earnest look, as if showing her usual heart.

I met his eyes and slowly shook my head.

“No.”
“… What?”
“Never kill me. Rather, I will kill the guy who is trying to kill Jang Deok-gu.”
“… What?”

In an instant, her inner side trembled more violently than ever.

I stared at the shock calmly and continued with the following words.

“Food is never infinite. Rather, it will decrease more rapidly as time goes by. You’re in the same position as me, so you know very well what I’m talking about.”
“…”
“Deok-gu Jang’s ability to control insects in such a dwindling supply—in other words, this ability to enable beekeeping is a very valuable ability.”

No one knows how rapidly the food situation will change in the future.

In such an uncertain situation, the food called honey was one of the very good options to plan the future.

“Jang Deok-gu? That bastard did what he deserved to die, so of course it doesn’t matter if I kill him. But the problem is that if you kill him, his abilities will also disappear.”

That’s what really matters to us.

Took-!

I stared at her, lightly tapping her fingers on her table as if checking her table.

“Jang Deok-gu is a very usable hand that has already been made in terms of a card game.”
“…”
“And we have to play the game only with the cards in our hand.”

Took-!

Fingers tapping the table once again.

“It’s a messed up messed up world. I don’t know when the dealer will hand me a new hand, but he discards the sure card in my hand?”

… Under!

Just thinking about it made me laugh out loud.

“That’s what idiots do when they’re deliberately determined to lose the game.”

And-

“I’m not that kind of fucking troller, Linnea.”

It was a very foolish thing that only suited Nam Do-yoon.

A risky gamble that may bring a very fatal negative to the outcome of the game in the future.

He took the gamble very proudly, and the words he uttered were also overwhelming.

“My people are more important than the petty morality that is obtained from doing so and the restoration of social justice, which is very small.”
“…”
“What could be worse than a future in which Seol-hee and White-yi starve to death? The only thing you can get while increasing the possibility of such a future is the realization of justice? Wouldn’t it be rather irresponsible to spout such nonsense that doesn’t help at all with the food shortage right now?”

Linnea.

“What would you do?”

Are you going to kill Jang Deok-gu or save him?

Check.

The signal to pass the turn to the next player by tapping the table twice.

I deliberately passed the Jang Deok-gu in my hand to Linnea across the street.

Unknowingly, Cha Seol-hee, Cha Ha-yan, and all the survivors belonging to the camp were hung up in piles.

“…”

Linnae opens her eyes at the thought of Jang Deok-gu, unexpectedly in her own hands.

For a very long time, Rinnea’s eyes were twitching, and her head lowered gradually.

She began to agonize for a long time without answering.

───────.

A long time ago that the white steam that continued to rise above the teacup had also faded.

“… So.”

After that long time, Linnea slowly raised her head.

“What are you going to do next?”

Asked about the next plan, a little roundabout answer.

I bury my back in her chair again and meet Linnea’s gaze as she lifts her head.

He looked into her eyes and slowly smiled.

“Nothing.”
“…”
“The dormitory won’t do anything from now on.”

That was already enough.

“… Ah!”

However, a very short elasticity that comes out belatedly.

Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, I smiled again as I looked at Rinnea, who had a slightly dumbfounded expression.

“Linnea.”

Linnea looks at me again at my gentle whisper.

I stared at her and whispered her last words.

Not a dorm

“There is one thing I want to ask of you…”
