Chapter 113 – Unexpected Danger (7)

After Arbella and Yoochun were guided by Lee Man-seong and left the association building, only the three women remained in the conference hall, where only the cold air was lingering.

“So who is that woman…?”

Elise looked down at Arbella as she walked shoulder to shoulder with Yuchun under the glass walls of the association. Yang Ha-yeon replied with a dark look on the wind spirit Windy, who was still trembling in fear, and the other spirits buzzing around worrying about him.

“Well. But that expression at the end…Wasn’t it unusual?”

“Before that, I need to know what your relationship is…”

I guess that’s what I mean when I say I laugh but I don’t laugh. The intent to kill that they artificially revealed to them while covering it from Yuchun meant that their relationship was unusual.

There is a ban Yoochun, who had just woken up in a haze, didn’t seem to know the reason why he didn’t bite the others and let them hear it, but everyone else except him knew.

Putting it all together, the intention was simple and clear.

Even if you and I are different, we are very different.
So don’t climb or fold.
If you don’t want to die…

“I don’t like it.”
“Yes, that’s right…”

Having a lot of people with their own individuality and identity to like a man can never be as beautiful as in a cartoon or anime. As in any history when no one puts down their pride, the end is bound to be a pygame fight with limited affection and interest. And in such a situation, Arbella said to her women except herself that you guys should yield, put down your pride.

“Mr. Killian…Why aren’t you saying anything…?”

-What am I supposed to say here?

At Elise’s words, suppressing her bubbling inner thoughts, Killian sat with her legs crossed and shrugged her shoulders.

-Do you have the right to know Yoochun’s private life in the first place? What are you to Yuchun?

“That…”

-I wonder if it will be later… Isn’t it now? It’s me who should be pissed off, so why are you restless?

“…”

-Do not cross the line. It’s because I’m also pissed off.

The monster who learned civilization and society defined rights as an ideological realm that does not exist. Although he didn’t show it, Killian was already pissed that his territory had been invaded casually.

Ellis fell silent at Killian’s more logical and calm words than he thought.

“But you are the one who met her there. And you are the one who brought it.”

-Don’t twist around. Yang Ha-yeon So what do you want to say?

It is said that Killian’s ability to understand and learn is excellent, but his dislike of complicated things has not changed. Realizing that Yang Ha-yeon’s words were a question unique to civilized people, she put on an annoyed expression.

“Great. Then let me ask you directly.”

Yang Ha-yeon nodded her head slightly at him and asked again.

“Who is she?”

*

Yoochun and Arbella walked on an empty road after the evacuation was completed.

It wasn’t that nobody was there. He slowly opened his mouth as he kept his eyes on the Awakeners hiding in places between shops and houses that belonged to the Association, who wandered around searching for a villain to come in.

“Why is that?”

“Yes?”

“Why are you being so sharp?”

“…You knew.”

“It may sound unpleasant, but since when do you think I’ve been seeing you?”

Contrary to their expectations, Yoochun was aware that Arbella was not in a good mood. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen her today, but she’s been looking through her monitor before. Yoochun knew the characteristics of Arbella when she was in a bad mood, and she found it in her laugh.

Arbella, who did not know that Yuchun had noticed, was speechless at her question. Then she looked at him and opened her mouth.

“I was just worried…”
“What?”
“Anyway, they will know about me, and they might gossip about me to Yoochun. So I wanted to warn you.”
“They’re not that petty.”
“A woman’s heart is not that simple.”

Arbella’s straight eyes turned to Yoochun, but she stopped in her tracks when she noticed that her straightness was an infinitely twisted madness that made her original shape unrecognizable.

“If I… Am accepted as a negative being by Yoochun because of them, I will not put up with it no matter what.”

“…Even if I hate you because of that?”

“I warned you because I didn’t want that to happen.”

“…”

After entering this world, there was never a light affection and interest that I hadn’t felt in my previous life, but it was of a different degree from a transcendental person like Arbella.

Does she know Knowing that her power and presence to twist her own contradictions and paradoxes are unknowingly trying to grab hold of her Yuchun and shake her.

Because she is a transcendental person and she does not know everything, it is like a complete unknown to Arbella, who has never been in love or dating.

“We’ll talk about that later when we have time, so why did you ask for time?”

“Oh, that’s nothing. I have to go soon, but it seems that the time alone is not enough… Was it a nuisance?”

“No…Rather than that, what are you going to do when you say you brought Yura? I remember that her personality wasn’t a joke.”

“Oh, by the way, did you know about her?”

“Uh. I know.”

After her return, she had several companions to her before, not her current Arbella. One of them was Yura. Her death in the past was pretty horrifying…But there’s no need to recall the eerie past that’s gone.

“You don’t have to worry. It was a little twitchy, but she told me to stay still as it was no big deal before she came here.”

“…Do you want to hear that?”

“Do you know why I take Yura with me among so many people?”

“Well…Because you’re competent? I remember that he did a good job in many ways, right?”

“Hmm…That’s there too, but it’s not the decisive reason.”

“Then? Even if he is excellent in force, he would be eliminated by your standards, right?”

It is true that Yura is strong and talented enough to become a high ranker, but since she is one of the 13 members of the committee, Arbella’s aide, there are definitely weaknesses in her strength.

In fact, all the heads of the 13 seats had last-one class strongmen as their aides. Yuchun looked at Arbella with such a question.

“I am loyal.”
“Huh…? Is that all? If you want to pick a strong person who is loyal to you, there must be enough overflow?”

The Black Police, the group she leads, are famous in the Central World for their loyalty. Of course, there will be strong people who surpass Yura, and if it weren’t for that much, she wouldn’t be able to defeat Beren Duke.

“I could have had any number of loyal ones by my side. But none of them met my standards.”

“Standard?”

“A person who can stick to advice in everyday life. Even so, at the decisive moment, a person who silently follows the master’s words and carries them out. That’s my standard, and the only one who fits that right now is Yura.”

She, who was walking along her path with her Yuchun, then stopped and looked at her Yuchun with serious eyes.

“If Yuchun-nim chose to be the leader of a group, you should remember that.”

“…”

“When the group is faced with an important phase, things may go wrong with Yoochun-nim’s thoughts. Then, be sure to find the culprit.”

“If you find it?”

“Kill him.”

“!!!”

“Or send it down there, anyway, don’t leave it around for now in case you find out later.”

“Why?”

“The important thing about a new group is the head, not the group itself. But he’s an aide who doesn’t know the head’s doctor… He’ll catch his ankle someday.”

At that time, in Yoochun’s mind, the plan Lee Ji-yeon had carried out on his own came to mind. According to Arbella, should she be killed or should she be demoted? Yoochun made a confused expression on his face, and Arbella shook her hand.

“Of course, this is my opinion. Someone might change it and use it.”

“It seems that the idea that we have to change has not changed.”

“If you don’t like that, Yoochun-nim can change himself.”

He must change himself…

It was a thought-provoking word. Yuchun didn’t think of himself as a vessel suitable for the head of a group yet. Killing people and building walls did not mean that a reclusive loner could transform into a leader.

“Why do we want to end this gloomy story?”

“Here?”

“Hehe… I saw it on the way home and it looked good. Now that I know it, it’s also where a dungeon exploded in the past.”

“Bukhansan National Park… It’s the first time I’ve been to it myself.”

Bukhansan National Park disappeared due to a dungeon explosion in the past, but on the other hand, dense pure mana permeated the surrounding area, creating very beautiful vegetation.

“I’ve only heard of it, but it’s spectacular…”

This is where the new Bukhansan National Park was built in collaboration with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the association by decorating and refining it. Yuchun opened his mouth slightly in surprise when he saw the huge door made of colorful fresh flowers that were not suitable for the season from the entrance.

“It’s nice that there are no people there.”

“There can’t be people right now… By the way, don’t you hate places with a lot of people?”

“Hmm…I don’t hate it, but I started wanting a quiet place before I knew it, maybe it was because there were so many people and monsters around me.”

It was natural for Arsvag, the capital of the Central World, to be overflowing with people and monsters to the Absolute Defense Line. Recalling the life of Arbella, who had lived fiercely in the meantime, Yoochun could guess how special this day would be for her.

‘I’ll probably have to live that life again when I go back…’

She felt sorry for her, but didn’t want to pity her. It was clear that Arbella wouldn’t like it either. Arbella, staring at herself, figured out what she wanted, and Yoochun raised the corner of her mouth and held out her hand.

“Would you like to walk with me?”

At that, Arbella, who blushed, replied with a wide smile.

“Yes!”
