Chapter81 – Episode 81- Deep in the Mountain Ongdalsaem Who Lives Who Lives (5)
Bubbly.
Climbing a mountain path that smells like grass.
This road, which I used to giggle a few hours ago, feels unfamiliar.
Futility and helplessness.
This road with Choi Seol-yeon, who was trembling next to me and trying to go back, was slowly eating away at my steps and making them heavy.
“…”
Silence came out and filled the gap between Seolyeon Choi.
I couldn’t utter any words in this place.
Pretending to be okay, speaking moderately jokingly, expressing concern.
I kept my mouth shut, afraid that her little word would hurt her.
“But are you clearing with a sword in this world?”
After a moment of silence, Choi Seol-yeon gave me her words.
She was still trembling with her anxiety, but those eyes of hers, hungry for her love, stared blankly at me, asking me to talk to them.
“Of course, I can’t use anything other than a real sword.”
“Kick-kick-kick.”
Choi Seol-yeon smiled a little at my answer.
“Isn’t it? When I watched your broadcast, I thought it was a lie and posted it on the community.
“Yes, it was a headache for a while because of you. Well, after a year of broadcasting, the viewers knew that it was real and not a lie, and those words quickly became calm.”
When I brought up the story of the past, I realized again that Choi Seol-yeon, who was next to me, was a vicious stalker.
A malicious user who always posts bad comments on my community posts, chasing after every case and disturbing me.
“Hey, but why did you bother me by making bad comments?”
In fact, I was stressed only in the beginning, but later, viewers said it was fun to watch Choi Seol-yeon’s argument with me, so it was turned into content.
Quite a number of views were picked and eaten sweetly, and Choi Seol-yeon pushed her head against me without logic, so a kind of true educational content was pulled out.
So, what I am asking now is a question that contains only pure doubt.
“That…”
Choi Seol-yeon scratched her cheeks as if embarrassed.
“I did it because you’re a fan.”
“What?”
You said it was because you were a fan, what do you mean by that?
“I was so novel from the time you first posted, I followed you all the time watching your posts and broadcasts.
I looked at Seolyeon Choi with a puzzled expression.
I thought it was just evil, but it was a new concept evil that was secretly adding carrots behind it.
What case is this
“At first, it was good that only I knew it… Later on, as I became famous, people recognized and liked it… I posted it, but I made a mistake and posted it on my main account, not anonymously. That’s how it started.”
“Hey… Are you really evil?”
“Gick giggle giggle… Sorry. But since the amount I sponsored you is about 50 million won, can you take a look at it?”
“Aigoo~ Thank you for the 50 million won support. Petit Shooter~”
Choi Seol-yeon giggles when he reacts to her by imitating the way she spoke when broadcasting in her old world.
“The broadcast at that time was really fun, but I kept watching the broadcast for over 12 hours when I caught the 9th scenario boss in Hard Mode.”
“Oh, then?”
“Yeah, the best gun came out as a random reward for that event.
Choi Seol-yeon hurriedly brings up her story.
As expected, she said that she had been watching my broadcasts and writings since the beginning, and Seolyeon Choi brought up even a few things I couldn’t remember and continued her words.
Before I knew it, Choi Seol-yeon and I were constantly talking about myself.
The first time I took the enchantment potential pool growth value, and the first time I showed off the sword art – Yeomhwa (焰花).
Climbing up a wall to catch a wyvern, jumping off a cliff, cutting off the head of a wyvern and falling to the floor.
The silence from earlier was gone, Choi Seol-yeon and I continued our conversation without hesitation.
“I came over to this world this time and got a job called ‘Prosecutor’.”
“Really?!”
Choi Seol-yeon looks at me in amazement.
“Yeah. Look, this is the sword blooming weapon Levatein I got this time.”
When Seol-yeon Choi takes out her Levatein from her subspace and shows it to Seol-yeon Choi, Seol-yeon opens her mouth wide, unable to take her eyes off her sword.
The sunlight flowing softly on the blade itself and the pattern of the scorched blade of bright red flames.
“Wow! Really, this is a blooming weapon for prosecutors? You’re really crazy?!”
Choi Seol-yeon stroked my sword excitedly.
Choi Seol-yeon admires her even more as she sees Levatein trembling while emitting sunlight in line with her touch.
“No, if you have a job, there will be a job change, right? Did you change your job?!”
“Yes, I am a duel class.”
“?!”
“They say they became a triple class later.”
Choi Seol-yeon sighed at my words and demanded more explanation.
Like the girl who showed that she was a gamer by posting countless tips and information on her former community, she rushed at my new job and skill with both eyes wide open.
“Okay, looking at the status window…”
Looking at the status window, I began to recite my skills and potentials step by step.
I saw her beside her, her eyes sparkling and listening to me, her admiration and excitement.
I continued to watch her as she continued to speak.
That buck
While ignoring Ongdalsaem who was trying to get closer.
That buck
The sound of footsteps resonates loudly in my ears.
She spits out the words casually, but the nerves are increasingly drawn to her expression.
Choi Seol-yeon is enjoying listening to my story.
She smiles as if nothing is wrong, but is she as conscious as I am? The thought lingers in my head.
So I kept staring at her face.
Doubting that her smile was fake.
I know it’s like an idiot, but it doesn’t change anything.
Unknowingly, I doubted her smile and looked at her eyes.
“Ah.”
Ongdalsaem came into sight.
As soon as Ongdalsaem, which is hidden between trees, enters, Choi Seol-yeon’s single sound mixed with a sigh bursts out next to me.
I tightly closed my eyes.
Choi Seol-yeon was also conscious.
She more than anyone else.
“…”
Silence arrives as if the conversation just before had been a lie.
The shallow grass and the brilliantly shining Ongdalsaem.
The beautiful sight seemed cruel as hell for a moment.
“… Hey.”
Seolyeon Choi calls me.
“I’ll go.”
Choi Seol-yeon walks to Ongdalsaem with shaking legs.
At the moment of her appearance, I involuntarily moved her steps and tried to grab her, but she turned her back to me and whispered.
“Don’t hold on.”
At those words, I stood still.
“Don’t hold onto me… If you hold on to me… I’ll really get attached to you… So… Leave me alone.”
Chin choking
There was nothing I could do now.
An exchange between Choi Seol-yeon and Maya.
This exchange must necessarily take place.
It wasn’t just because she had to save Maya, Seolyeon Choi didn’t want to remain in this world any longer.
I heard from the angel that if Choi Seol-yeon remains in this world and Maya remains in that destroyed world, the two worlds will be connected.
That’s why Seolyeon Choi… Had no choice but to leave.
Choi Seol-yeon, who has reached Ongdalsaem without much effort, gently turns his head.
“I’ll go.”
Under the eyes that tremble without rest as if it were the last time.
A clear drop of tear fell down.
“… I’ll save you someday.”
I gritted my teeth and spit it out at Seolyeon Choi.
“You know, I’m a strong person. You know I’m a person who does it until I can do it a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times. So, wait.”
I held her breath and told her her mine and her pledge.
“Because I’m definitely going to get it.”
Choi Seol-yeon silently nodded her head.
Her tears fell from her cheeks and landed on the sparkling pond, and Choi Seol-yeon threw herself into the pond.
Hwaaak-.
White light spreads in all directions from Ongdalsaem.
Tiny grains float up and amplify the blindingly bright light, creating a cluster of lights.
And a girl appeared in the halo of light.
“Huhhh~?”
Maya, who appeared covered in soot, opened her eyes wide and looked at me.
Yes, Seolyeon Choi…
She went away again into that world.
* *
Pitch black darkness.
A musty-smelling space with no noise whatsoever.
It was different.
With the space I was in just now.
The sunlight that was so strong that it made my skin tingle, the smell of grass with a sticky sweet scent, and the sound of leaves breaking in the wind.
As if it was a fleeting dream, everything disappeared.
“Ooh… Ugh…”
At the fact that she had returned to her original place, Seolyeon Choi vomited in vain.
“Woo…!”
She fell to the floor, leaning her hands on the ground.
A cold stone floor devoid of warmth.
All of the senses in my body were denying this place.
“Huhhhhh…”
Choi Seol-yeon’s long gray eyelashes flicker and shed tears.
A short period of time, less than a few hours.
It was a very short time compared to the two years she had been stuck in this world, but those few hours changed her mind.
I want to rest, I want to talk to people, I want to eat something delicious.
Her work in that world, where her long-forgotten desires were momentarily realized, was so intense.
“Ah…”
Silently, Seolyeon Choi looked at the darkness and thought.
The one Jung Joon who looked at himself a moment ago and ‘assured that he would come to save’…
Seol-yeon Choi almost changed her mind in an instant when she saw Jeong Jo-joon gritting her teeth and burning her will.
She doesn’t want to go back
But in the end, Choi Seol-yeon made her choice and she came back.
“Ughhhhh…”
Choi Seol-yeon held her breath, trying to swallow her cry somehow, but to her regret, her tears wouldn’t stop and flowed down her cheeks.
“Yes… A dream… Let’s think of it as a dream.”
Sweet dreams for a moment.
Saying that, Choi Seol-yeon grabbed her body and fell face down on the cold stone floor.
Rolling his body into a circle and clutching his own, Choi Seol-yeon swallowed his breath.
“Yes, it’s a dream… A dream… Let’s just think of it as a dream. It was only for a short time anyway.”
Choi Seol-yeon muttered over and over again.
But the more she did, the louder her cries leaked out from her hunched arms.
In a dark clearing.
A girl’s cry quietly echoed.
