Chapter 365 – 365. World Championship Group Stage (13)

Being with her at her hotel was awkward.

We shared the same room because it hadn’t been long since we’d been mean to each other.

“…”
“…”

An awkward silence lingers.
By securing her sister, it could be said that she had practically achieved her goal, so I left her as it was and was about to leave her room.
I am also worried about Han Seo-yeon’s whereabouts.

But.

“I will go now. You might call someone you know and hide here quietly.”
“Don’t go… “

She couldn’t help but stop her steps when she heard the wet voice.

I looked back.
Then I could see her looking at me as she was squatting on her bed.

“Me… Scared.”

The look on her face when she said that was pure fear.
And at that moment, the sky flashed.

“Ah… “

Her body flinched, and she looked like shed tears at any moment.

I couldn’t leave her alone because of her fragile aura, the exact opposite of her appearance that scared me before.
Reluctantly, I sat in her chair again and called Seo-yeon Han.

After the call rang for quite some time, a weary tone followed.

“Whoa… Hello? I’m a bit busy right now… “
“Seoyeon.”
“Uh? Director! Are you alive?!”

Han Seo-yeon said as if she was surprised.
… Could it be that you didn’t think I was dead until now?
I had such doubts, but I didn’t bother to ask.

“Yes. I’m with her sister. Don’t worry, we’re in a safe place. Did it work out there?”

If anything bad had happened, she would definitely not have picked up the phone, so I felt like it had to end well.
And the answer came as expected.

“How did you secure Krystal?! Oh, anyway, this one is also almost finished. I backed off after doing it moderately on the other side. I’m going there right now, so wait for me!”
“No. I’ll be with you until the sun rises. If there are a lot of people moving around, it’s likely to get caught, so I’ll just send you the address, so please wait around here.”
“All right.”

It seemed that the opponent, who had noticed that her sister had fled, was intent on finding her once she had retreated.
In this situation, it seems that it can be rather dangerous to move hastily.

Our side won’t collapse easily either, but anyway, this is the opponent’s territory.
There was a high probability that I would not be able to live up to my name if I showed myself moving around.

In that case, it is much better to quietly hide and wait for the right time.

After hanging up the phone, I saw Krystal looking at me with strange eyes.

“…”

As I stare at her, she slowly avoids her gaze.

“… I didn’t know you thought of me as her sister.”

Presumably from a lack of affection, she seemed more concerned about calling herself her sister than anything else.
I casually shrugged.

“How can you call her sister her sister?”
“…It’s not like that.”

She nodded her head in understanding.
And then she buries herself under the blanket.

“Then I’ll be fine… Stay by my side.”

It’s a blunt, commanding voice.
However, because of her trembling body, I could see that her inner thoughts were different.

“Uh. Good night.”

I also quietly turned off the light while speaking bluntly.
The curtains on the window were also closed, and as I sat on the chair, I could only hear the small sound of rain in the room.

“…”

After sitting still for several hours and watching my surroundings, I fell asleep shortly after.

###

It was morning when I woke up again.
As if the rain had stopped, the sun shone through the cracks in the curtains and the chirping of birds could be heard.

“…He said he would protect me, and he’s asleep without knowing the world… “

When I opened my eyes, right in front of me was her sister, Krystal, staring at me.
Looking at the raised eyebrows full of displeasure, it seemed that he had recovered some energy from resting all night.

“I’m glad you look upright.”
“The person who is supposed to protect me is sleeping, so I have to be active too.”

Seeing how sarcastic I think I can move now.

I got up from my seat and picked up my phone.
The battery was running low, so I had to conserve it.

Turrrr…

At the end of the phone connection, I heard Han Seo-yeon’s voice.

“I’ll be there in 10 minutes.”
“Yes. I’ll go down in time.”

After that, I looked at the crystal.

“Let’s prepare slowly and go down.”
“Huh.”

Whether he wanted it or not, the way he treated me became much worse because of our one night stand.

I didn’t bring much in the first place, so it didn’t take long to prepare.
When I came out cautiously and went downstairs, I saw Han Seo-yeon waiting for her car.

“You worked hard. Oh, nice to meet you. Crystal. My name is Seoyeon Han from the Battle Angels security team.”
“…Yes.”

Seoyeon Han briefly greeted me and her sister before she immediately put us in the car.

It seemed like he was trying to get out of here as quickly as possible.

As soon as the car started, Han Seo-yeon lightly organized the situation.

“It seems that yesterday’s commotion is being treated as nothing. However, there will be public security all over the area, so the same incident as yesterday will not happen again.”

When I heard her say that, only one thought came to my mind.
After all, when you come home, you are a high school student.

A car that runs on the main road for a while stops at a hotel.
In front of the hotel stood a group of people, presumably her sister’s subordinates.

The night break is finally over.

“…I’ll go.”

The door opened and her sister said coldly as she got out of her car.
I laughed and muttered behind her.

“I’m a younger sister who never has a cute corner until the end.”
“…”

Even though she heard me, she didn’t stop her steps.
Just when the car door is completely closed, he suddenly turns around and sticks out her tongue.

“See you later.”

Seen this way, she appears to be just a child who is not honest with her self-expression.
I laughed and buried myself in the seat of the car.

Now is the time to go back to everyday life.

###

Crystal, who arrived on the top floor of a hotel reserved for a few days stay in China, buried herself on the sofa as soon as she entered the room.

“Whoa… “

It was a tiring day.
Maybe I could have lost my life, or if not, I had an unpleasant experience that brought up the trauma of the past.
But there were also achievements.

She thought quietly of her half-brother.

In the past, it was simply curiosity.
A curiosity about blood and kin that can be said to be human, except for the father who abandoned him.

And the second feeling was probably disappointment.
He himself used his outstanding ability to establish a large-scale company and achieve something, but with another ability, he is barely a game team manager.

It was for this reason that he took over this sports team he had no interest in, and I tried to quarrel with him.
Even so, I still don’t know why he’s doing it as a director, but he has changed his thoughts a little bit.

I don’t know why, but he wants to support his dream.

She clenched her fists.

“Finally I have found what I need to do.”

Her cold tone made the staff around her tremble.
Even though the chairman was kidnapped and his whereabouts unknown, he did nothing, so he deserved it.

“Don’t stand there like a guilty man. Go find a way to destroy the chimera!”

It was at that time that the order of fire fell upon them.
Surprised, the staff rushed out.

Left alone, she murmured with a sneer.

“I don’t particularly like my brother, but… Because she did help this time… “

###

“Director, what are you doing? You look very tired… “

Baek Ha-yeon, with an innocent expression, lowered her head and asked.
Because of that, she could see her cleavage, so she looked away for nothing, but since she was about to start the competition, she had to struggle to look away.

“…I’ll tell you later. Let’s focus on the competition for now.”
“Yes!”

She turns around again as she answers brightly.
It was a pity that her breasts had disappeared, but it was time for her to come to her senses.

The schedule for the last match of Group A of the Arena Group Stage was waiting.
She has to concentrate until the end and she has to go up to the round of 16 stage in a decent shape.

“Are you very tired? Don’t worry too much, I’m taking a little break today. I will take care of it today.”

However, her body droops again due to Hwangbo Jiyeon’s sweet temptation.
Come to think of it, that was right.
We already had a lot of strategies planned among ourselves, and it wasn’t a team that would lose just because I wasn’t there.

After thinking for a moment, I nodded.

“Then, shall we look at it from the audience’s point of view today?”
“Great!”

Ryu Seo-yoon speaks with a smile at my words.

“I will definitely win and come back!”

So today, I decided to put down my supervisory position for a while and watch the game from the perspective of a third person.

After waiting for a while, the girls who had been chatting among themselves went out on stage confidently.
I was thinking of following along, but today I thought of putting myself in the audience’s shoes and sat down again.

Girls cheering and walking under the spotlight.
Even today, I heard voices admiring their shining appearance.
What a surprise…

I crossed my arms with a sullen expression.
Our first opponent of the day was Germany’s Vanz Vortex.

Among the teams in Group A, I believed that they would do well as they were evaluated as the weakest.
