Chapter 366 – Episode 366 – [Ending] Reunion School Trip

* Episode 366 – [Ending] Reunion School Trip

….

…

… I had a dream.

There is no need to say whose dream it is.

Yoo Ji-hyun is the dream of ‘what was’.

『… Brother.』

『What on earth are you doing there?』

She stood up blankly and looked down at her floor.

The corpses of people she once loved are lined up in the corners of the alley.

Her upper and lower body were cut in half, and she died holding hands with Song Seong-yeon, as if they were lovers.

『Oppa.』

『Oppa.』

『Oppa.』

I keep shaking the corpse and calling out to it, but there is no way the dead person can answer.

He is looking at Song Seong-yeon with empty eyes.

A corpse that was once a woman, cut in half just like herself.

『How did this happen?』

I looked to the side.

She is not alone in the blood-covered alley.

Natalia, who was still in her prime, laughed viciously and stabbed her great sword into the floor.

Even though the floor was obviously painted with concrete, he shoved it in as if he was cutting tofu and spoke lightly.

“What? “Kill Song Seong-yeon, the guild leader of [Croatia], Because it’s annoying.”

“That was the client’s order, right?”

『Yes, that’s right!』

『I told you to kill Song Seong-yeon!』

『But I never ordered her to kill her brother!!』

“What is it, brother? Do you know each other?”

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t receive that order.”

“You can kill everyone around you. That was your order, right?”

『… !!』

“Besides, this guy was annoying~!”

“You can just go do your own thing, but you have such a sense of justice that you just jump at me!”

“Looking at it, it looks like we didn’t know each other and just happened to be passing by and helped out…”

“So this was an accident.”

“If I hadn’t cut this guy down, Song Seong-yeon would have run away?”

『S-Even if it was an accident…』

『Brother… Like this… !』

This was Yoo Ji-hyun’s first memory of killing Hong Chang-gi.

As expected, she didn’t just kill Hong Chang-gi from the beginning.

Even though she has no memories of being with him, her soul is definitely her beloved brother.

She said this was not what she wanted and went on a rampage.

“Whatever the circumstances are, it has nothing to do with me.”

“This person did the job you entrusted to him as a professional.”

「Then don’t talk about the military and give me what I have to give you.」

Crackling.

He made a gesture to quickly hand over the money.

『This trash… !』

『Why are you giving me such a hard time just because I did a good job!?』

“Which one is more trash when it comes to entrusting murder contracts to people?”

“You and I have already crossed a road that we should not cross.”

“If I don’t like it, should I expose it?”

“I can go back to my country, but you will be chased by Ian?”

『You want money when you can’t even get things done right!?』

“Of course.”

“There’s no need for us to blush, right~?”

“If we’re all on the same boat anyway, let’s go happily~!”

Natalia laughs haha, knowing that Yoo Ji-hyun won’t be able to refuse anyway.

On the contrary, Yoo Ji-hyeon, who killed Hong Chang-gi for the first time, trembled and placed his hand on the wall of the alley.

“Huh?”

『──Damn it.』

『It was a mistake to entrust the job to a bitch like you.』

I put my forehead against the wall with a short growl.

Then, faster than Natalia could say anything, she hit her head and disappeared.

It’s as if she wasn’t there from the beginning.

“Huh?”

“Hey, hey, hey!!

“Where are you going in the first place! You have nowhere else to go but the guild anyway!”

“Hey!!”

Natalia thought Yoo Ji-hyun had run away, and she got angry and threatened, saying, ‘We will chase you.’

However, no matter what you yell at, you will never have to face her again.

He disappeared, but now he has flown to a place where he will never be seen again.

『───.』

And when she opened her eyes, it was the next episode.

I don’t know how time passes, but Song Seong-yeon, who had just died, was alive and well.

As always, with Hong Chang-gi by his side, he is desperate to save him or make him happy.

That’s why Jihyeon worked hard to defeat Song Seongyeon.

『Why are you so happy?』

『To the person who stole my brother without permission! Why am I the only one who has to be sad for being taken away!?』

『How can it be so simple to make something that never happened!!』

『Without any countermeasures, do you just want to repeat the regression and stick with your brother?』

『Is that why you have so much fun!?』

As Yoo Ji-hyeon, Song Seong-yeon did not understand.

Even though Hong Chang-gi is dead, she stands up and looks ahead again.

There are times when I feel mentally shaken, such as drinking alcohol or taking drugs, but my spirit never bends.

No matter what anyone said, she came to her senses again and moved forward for Hong Chang-gi.

『It’s ruined!』

『Your boyfriend died like this, and you are suffering like this!』

『Every time you regress, you are failing!!』

『How long do I have to stay like this!?』

『I don’t have time to argue with you… We have to drag that damn goddess down from that place!!』

And then the runaway begins.

It became a matter of putting her hand on Hong Chang-ki to defeat Song Seong-yeon.

She killed her once, even if it was a mistake, so it wasn’t difficult to kill her a second time.

It’s difficult to get blood on your face once, but if you do it over and over again, the guilt becomes paralyzing.

He justified his murder by saying that everything was a stepping stone to solving this incident, and dabbled in all kinds of crimes.

-Song Seong-yeon even prevents her from offering a woman to Hong Chang-gi for her own satisfaction.

-Kill Suni and take over her position as guild master to buy time to interpret her tower.

-Just as Song Seong-yeon sacrificed her woman by inciting Olivia, I also sacrificed her slave.

-Nevertheless, if she does not advance to the episode she wants, she mercilessly kills Song Seong-yeon and Hong Chang-gi and targets her next episode.

….

…

… And one day, unable to resist such actions, she repeatedly committed self-harm and traveled around the world to make maps.

Around this time, Yoo Ji-hyeon’s costume also changed from that of a literary girl to something reminiscent of Menhera.

Even if you think about it, it’s embarrassing.

“Ah, it’s really sad to see this. This is me, not anyone else. Is this what black history is like?”

Sure enough, another Yoo Ji-hyeon is watching the scene from afar.

The center of a world completely stained black. Looking down at his past unfolding at his feet, he fell into regret.

She doesn’t know why she is here and why she is seeing her past.

However, my blurred consciousness gradually became clearer, and self-consciousness emerged, and at the same time, I felt regret.

『Why isn’t things working out?』

『What is the goddess doing!』

『They say that if she stops returning, my brother will come back!』

『You said she was the cause of everything!!』

“It’s funny. You actually knew it. In a corner of your head, you thought it wasn’t Seongyeon’s fault, but the fault of the goddess who led all of this. Maybe we were being played around. Even though you vaguely knew everything, you poured hatred on the person in front of you first. You were desperate to swell.”

『Aaaaa!!!!!!!』

In the video, Jihyun is tearing her hair out and screaming, and Jihyun, who is watching, looks at her dark history with dismay.

Eventually, the map that was meant to be a tribute to Hong Chang-gi was left stuffed in the corner of her bag.

“-The map I made back then was also made because I was jealous of Seong-yeon. She never got tired of it and expressed her love by offering various things to her prostitute oppa, so we fought back and said, ‘I can give this much to oppa too.'”〈 Br〉

She muttered to herself and shook her head.

“I even made it all up and hid it. Since I couldn’t go out in public, I had no way of handing the map to her brother. Besides, I was embarrassed in many ways.”

Everything, including the love confession drawn on the back of the map, is Yoo Ji-hyun’s dark history.

So, he laughed awkwardly, saying that the map was an item of dark history that should have disappeared for life.

“But thanks to your dark work, Changgi won. You even helped him in the end, even destroying himself. Everyone is praising you for doing a good job, right?”

And there is one person who participates in such self-talk.

This is Song Seong-yeon.

That faintly shining figure was literally the soul itself that Hong Chang-gi had removed.

“… Did you come to see someone else’s dark history?”

Yoo Ji-hyeon was also not surprised.

I just asked with a slightly sarcastic tone, but he approached me like nothing had happened.

“Yes. Our hobby is sharing dark history. In the meantime, maybe we’ve come to save the day?”

I stood side by side with Yoo Ji-hyun as if it was natural for me to be here.

Then.

“Ugh!?”

“How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now?”

“… I feel bad! It feels like my body, and you are intertwined!”

“Really? Then that’s good~! Ahaha!”

“Uuuuu~! Which one is better!? Ugh!”

As Song Seong-yeon came closer, her consciousness became clearer.

This is evidence that the fragmented soul is being healed and self-consciousness is returning.

“… Are you going to save me like this?”

“Yes. Everyone is struggling outside to save you. It won’t be long before you wake up.”

“You don’t have to suffer because of me…”

The memories that flowed through Song Seong-yeon’s soul conveyed some of the external situation.

It is also true that broken souls are being healed by them lending part of their souls.

Thanks to this, Yoo Ji-hyeon frowned, overcome with guilt.

“Are other people coming too?”

“Well? I don’t know if they will come down here to the deep consciousness, but at least I came here on purpose because I wanted to talk to you.”

“Why? Are you trying to spit out whatever you have stored inside?”

“We’ve been fighting for so long, but wouldn’t it be a lie if I said there was nothing in it? I didn’t even know your identity, and I’ve been suffering all this time.”

“… Well, if it were someone else, I wouldn’t mind, but if it were you, I wouldn’t have anything to say even if I got criticized.”

Yu Ji-hyeon squatted down and Song Seong-yeon sat next to him.

Both of them were without a single shred of guilt, and the things Yu Ji-hyeon had done so far were unfolding throughout the dark world.

But Seongyeon was not embarrassed.

I was used to peeking into other people’s dark history through Ceres and Brigitta, so I just watched with a smile.

“Is it so fun to see other people’s dark history?”

“Yes. This is quite fun. You will soon become addicted, right?”

When we wake up later, we laugh heartily and say we’ll turn the dark story around together.

Of course, Ji-hyeon kicked her because he didn’t like it, but that didn’t mean he pushed her away completely.

“… What do you want to do first?”

When asked to bring up the topic first, Song Seong-yeon took a breath and said something.

“Let’s talk about everything from beginning to end. And even reveal the things we regret. Even if we end up arguing, we won’t run away and stick with it until the end.”

“Let’s finish it while my brother is away?”

“There are things I can’t say in front of a prostitute. And I don’t want to talk about it in front of a guy who likes these things. I’m sure other guys are like that too, but I only want to show a good face in front of a prostitute.”

“… You’re always smiling, and you’re a woman after all?”

“You too. Don’t you think it’s so annoying that you’re bickering with me in front of a prostitute when you’ve barely opened your eyes?”

….

…

At those words, Yoo Ji-hyeon remained silent for a moment and then awkwardly nodded.

“… That’s true too. It’s not good to see you being so mean in front of your brother when even Aphrodite is bent on it.”

“Right? So let’s not hide it from each other. Even if it hurts us, we’ll go to the end.”

As Song Seong-yeon said, the consensus was that she did not want to be seen in front of a man who loved fighting between women.

That’s why we don’t avoid each other.

The hostility that was once one-sided was now aimed at each other, and this time, they were finally able to tell each other openly what was inside.
