Chapter 122 – Skirmish (2)

Feeling like a shrimp caught between whales.

Everyone is blinded by the desire for monopoly, and I’m worried that if we do this, we might end up fighting by grabbing our hair. As I sit on a bench and catch my breath, a figure approaches from afar.

“Huh? What are you doing here?”

Familiar pink hair. It’s akina

“I’m just… Taking a little break.”

“What’s wrong? You look a little unwell…”

There is such a thing.

Akina naturally sits next to me. Habitually look around. Isn’t it? You don’t have it? Breathe a sigh of relief

“No, no big deal. What did you come for? Kim Seok-hyun?”

“No.”

Akina shakes her hand. Didn’t she come because of Kim Seok-hyun?

“I’ve already met Seok-hyeon older brother a while ago. I just came here because I wanted to ask you something!”

“Ask?”

“Could you teach me something?! There’s such a thing as exercise or training!”

“Huh?”

Work out? Training?

“I was surprised to see that you killed the sewer monster the other day! It’s a monster with an ‘aggregate’ instead of magic stones, and you killed it with just your fists! So, by the way… Can’t you help me a bit?! I…”

I really want to become a knight!

“You want to be a knight?”

“Yes. Originally, if I hadn’t been interested in articles, I would have just been playing Tangjatang at the Japanese academy. You came to Korea, right? , Can you help me a little bit? I will become a disciple! Please make me a disciple!”

“Oh, no, wait, why did you come to Korea? There’s a European or American curriculum over there…”

“Because Seokhyun oppa is here!”

Understand at once You’re my older brother before Giseung.

“But, if you’re going to do that, why did you come to me?

He is weak in spirit, but his skills are outstanding.

“Seokhyeon’s older brother… Refused…”

“Ah…”

Akina scratches her cheeks with her fingers, sweat dripping from her brow. Her stupid hair droops. She’s got nothing but wind sex in her hair, well. Roughly understand help me a little

“So, by the way…! Can you help me? I want to learn properly, go back to Japan, and work on public security! You’ve also defeated the monster at the center of the ‘Assembly’! I’ll call you Master, yes!?”

The eardrum rings. It’s like a human megaphone. The shining eyes look at me full of anticipation. Rather, a collective?

“Aggregate?”

“Yes! An assembly! It’s like the gray clay that was on the waist of that monster!”

“Is that an aggregate? I’ve never heard of it.”

“Recently, research results came out in Japan! It’s a smaller lump than that lump, but as a result of analyzing it with the latest analyzer in Japan- it’s not normal flesh, but ‘a densely packed lump of very fine magic stones’! Taeho-san, you know?! The silver magic stone is used as an energy source, and the larger the magic stone, the larger the surface area, so more energy can be used! So…”

Akina excitedly waved her arm and explained. Deafening ears

‘Even if I talk a lot, it’s too much…!’

“Wait, wait. Akina? Can you tell me the conclusion…?”

“The surface area of ​​the ‘aggregate’ is thousands to tens of thousands times greater than that of normal high-risk monsters. That means it’s incredibly strong! In addition to that…! I even found a ‘core’ inside it?! Hey, you know! When a monster grows up, it’s a core You’re responsible for this accident.”

“But the central core of the ‘Assembly’ is said to be able to use its ‘mana’ thousands of times more than normal monsters! I know from watching the video! Quagga River- and buildings collapse in the beam! I defeated such a monster. So it’s great! It’s so great, but… Can you help me a little bit!?”

He waved his arms begging for help and looked at me with bright eyes.

“Okay. I’ll help you.”

In a skirmish, both sides benefit because they can run away with the excuse of helping. Maybe. If I did the opposite, I think my eardrums would explode. As she nods, Akina smiles brightly.

“Wow! Thank you! I’m only getting a little help, so let me know if you need anything! After all, I’m the daughter of the president of Kawa Group, so I have everything except what I don’t have!”

Akina confidently bangs her chest with her fist. She snorts proudly, ‘say anything!’ With a look of anticipation.

“I’ll tell you later. So… When can I help you?”

“Help me during lunch in two days!”

Because tomorrow I have to play with Seokhyun’s brother!

Nod her head Akina thanked her and quickly returned to her class.

She sits quietly on her bench and organizes her thoughts. What should I do now? Yesterday, I received Longinus… Enhancement, Resonance, and Memory Magic solutions… I have to learn from Seol-A. Artifact? The artifacts were all destroyed because of Seol-Ah’s magic field, but… Um. Let’s ask Akina about this.

Her grades have also steadily improved, and she has recorded 2nd in writing, 3rd in practical skills, and 4th in magic, so she is cruising. Should she finally go? She is honestly afraid of what Socheon will do to her.

‘I still have to go.’

Still not enough

Fenrir is insanely strong. If she stops here, she can’t even touch her toes. Socheon sunbaenim clings to me, but I can’t give up on her growth. First of all, she’s been given Longinus, so she should try it at least once…

“Let’s go after today.”

Get up from your seat

*

*

I barely hold back the sigh that is about to come out.

“A little more… Is it okay if we stick together?”

Nod her head Han Ye-rin says thank you and sticks to me.

I want this damn care to end somehow quickly, but there’s no sign of it ever ending. Han Ye-rin clings to my side and lets out a short sigh. It is said that public opinion will subside in the near future, but there is no good news.

“I want to stay like this for a little while longer…”

“Ah yes…”

“…It’s okay to use half words.”

Han Ye-rin holds my hand. I wonder if she’s nervous in class, but she’s holding onto my hand as if she’s nervous. She doesn’t let go It’s okay to use casual language. I say it as if I’m breathing, but honestly, it’s difficult. She glanced at Kim Seok-hyun and raised the corner of her mouth in a bad mood as to what made her happy.

“Your hand is very warm.”

A little… Rough.

“…”

Han Ye-rin smiles shyly and touches my hand. At the same time, she said, ‘Thank you for helping me when I was having a hard time,’ and she gave her thanks as if breathing. Yerin Han crosses her legs in shame.

“Taeho, in case something hard happens later… I’ll help you. I want to help too.”

Please tell me anything.

“Write…”

You say help?

It’s burdensome and I think I’m going crazy After 10 minutes of waiting for class to end, the bell finally rings. As soon as she gets up from her seat, Han Ye-rin grabs her sleeve.

“Uh, there… That…”

Han Ye-rin hesitated, blushing her cheeks. What? Want to eat again? The popliteal fossa is numb.

“Really… I’m really in a hurry…”

Both eyes light up. Really? Really? Fuck…

“Can you go to the bathroom with me?”

Bar, I think my bladder is about to burst…

The eyes that had been shining brightly returned to normal.

“Ha…”

As if in a real hurry, he crosses his legs and looks at me.

“Ho, it’s scary to go alone… Just a little bit… Together… Can’t we?”

“All right.”

Han Ye-rin’s eyes are alive. When the eyes are fixed on the surroundings, it shrinks again. Shaking her body, she steps out the door.

“Because I’m by your side, I’m relieved… As long as you’re by Taeho’s side, it’s okay.”

Muttering and clinging to my side The clinging is the same as yesterday, but the feeling is so heavy that the bathroom feels far away.

“Ha…”

When will it end

*

*

*

It is awkward.

“I’m sorry, Ariana…”

“No, no, it’s okay, stand still.”

In a fit of rage, she said something harsh. After the stormy time passed and my head cooled down, I desperately realized what I had said to whom and hurriedly apologized. No matter how much you say you’re in a relationship, you’re a friend that’s second to none… If we keep going like this, I think fists will come out before words.

“I said harsh things too, I’m more sorry.”

“No no no… I’m more sorry Arin…”

Hug each other and apologize.

Arin is also thinking the same thing, saying sorry to each other, and the relay doesn’t stop. After lunch break, during class time, I remember glancing at each other and constantly apologizing. Even after class is over, there is no sign of stopping.

“I-I’m more sorry…”

“No? No, Seol-ah, I’m more sorry.”

Arin waved her hand and insisted that I was more sorry anyway. When Tae-ho is in front of my eyes, I am blinded by love, and when I find a woman next to me, my twin hearts light up, but when Tae-ho disappears like an on-off, I come to my senses.

‘I like Taeho and I like Arin too…’

It’s like a tragedy. Because Arin as a friend is really no different from a best friend. The person who doesn’t feel awkward even if I bring them to my house… Taeho and Arin are Yui.

Really, he’s my favorite friend. She does love the same person though… I just can’t back down. Keep fighting

“Do you want to go to a snack bar together after today? Originally, yeah… When you’re in a bad mood, eating something makes you feel better, doesn’t Seol-ah like plain tteokbokki? Let’s go eat tteokbokki together.”

“No, Arinah… Arin likes stuffed with cheese. Let’s go eat cheese tteokbokki together…”

Laugh awkwardly at each other It’s not? Are you going to eat cheese tteokbokki? I’m more sorry

The feeling of fighting over who is more sorry for each other. After ringing the bell, I go out of the classroom and Arin follows me.

“Do you want to go to the bathroom together?”

As I nod her head, Arin smiles. They hold each other’s hands and walk to the women’s bathroom. I’m walking…

“Uh?”
“Yes?”

Han Ye-rin is walking down her hallway, with her arms crossed to her Tae-ho. As soon as you see her, a sultry feeling rises from her chest and dominates her core.

“Ha…”
“Profit…”

Arin releases her hand from her hold. Same thoughts, same actions. Her annoyance quickens her feet.

‘You, who are you…!’

Arm in arm with Taeho. That, only I can do… That seat was originally mine…!

Widely.

Grab Han Ye-rin’s wrist.

“Ha ha… Ha… What are you?”

Get away right now

Tae-ho and Han Ye-rin turn their heads at the same time. I grit my teeth and stare at Han Ye-rin. Tae-ho is confused. Wait a moment, Taeho, I’ll get that damn bitch out of your way. I won’t let you even come close to me. Annoying, really, really annoying…!

“You’ve been harassing me until now, so why are you going to pretend to be a lover now? Seriously, that’s ridiculous…”

“Move away, Han Ye-rin. I’m so annoyed just being by her side. Holding her hand and crossing my arms… Are you sane?”

Han Ye-rin takes turns watching her Tae-ho and the two of us, then she hides behind Tae-ho. Tae-ho’s expression is colored with bewilderment. Profit…! Also, hide behind the tiger, and don’t touch your hands, no, the feathers of the tiger…! At that time, I did something stupid and it’s hard for me to get close to you, so why do you naturally occupy Taeho’s side?

Mad.

Get out of the way right now, Han Ye-rin.

“Joe, I don’t like it…”

Lie bluntly

“…What is not?”

“Blushing cheeks, holding hands with Taeho, even crossing arms…! What’s wrong…!”

You like it right!

Just like us, you like it. I don’t know what to do because I like Taeho… That’s right! Don’t pretend I already know everything. I don’t know what you’re interfering with, but you’d better leave immediately. I feel bad even when you’re flirting around Taeho. With what kind of confidence do you like Taeho?

Taeho is my favorite. I love you the most That seat is mine. Taeho is… Mine! With what kind of confidence do you intervene?

At the same time as Arin, he grabbed Han Yerin’s wrist and forcibly dropped it beside Taeho. Tae-ho’s expression is colored with shock.

“What is it? Where are you going with Taeho, holding hands and even crossing your arms? Let’s hear it.”

“Okay, let’s listen… Even looking at Taeho’s face, Taeho is in trouble. Are you going to keep crying like that?”

She glared at Han Ye-rin with her hatchet eyes open. Perhaps Arin had the same idea, tendons sprouted from his forehead.

“Restroom…”

Restroom?

“Really? That’s great. I was going to the bathroom too. Shall we go together?”

“Han Ye-ri… Let’s go together.”

I’m on the left, and Arin grabs her right arm and drags her to the bathroom as if he were a suspect.

Stay away from Taeho.

Yerin Han.

*

*

*

Han Ye-rin likes me? Do you really like her? Isn’t it? It won’t be. In fact, it’s hard to deny now. You have to deny

Isn’t it? No.

I can’t admit it. No, I won’t believe it Even if the truth hazes before her eyes, she will never see it. Will turn her head

I look at Han Ye-rin, who is being dragged away in a daze.

“…I don’t think so.”

Probably not.

Never.

*

He drags Han Ye-rin into the women’s bathroom with A-rin. No one inside Suppressing her bubbling irritation, she glared at Han Ye-rin.

“Han Ye-rin. Did you get hit in the head with an Ohama on the road? What are you, interfering between Tae-ho and me?”

“Arin, it’s not like that. It’s between me and Taeho.”

“…Don’t be mean to Seol-ah. I’m between Tae-ho and I, so let’s talk straight?”

Arin goes for it. I also go for this. Isn’t it Arin? It’s between me and Taeho. I want to say something more… But I shut my mouth. There is something more important than that. She turns her head and glares at Han Ye-rin.

“That, ha… That’s okay, Arin. Let’s do that later… Han Ye-rin, you really don’t like Tae-ho, do you? Honestly, you’re on the verge of an explosion right now? It’s annoying, very annoying. To be honest, you like Tae-ho. Isn’t it?”

Han Ye-rin shyly avoids her gaze, then lifts her head and glares at the two of us.

“…I like you.”

“…Cee.”
“Under.”

Me and Arin lamented at the same time. Do you like it you?

“I like you, like crazy… I like you like crazy. Because I like you, no, because I love you, my heart beats so much that it hurts. I like you…”

Yerin Han blushes her cheeks. She always behaves like a yozo lady. She is a yozo lady who knows nothing but love. In reality, she is the villain among the villains who tormented Tae-ho as if she were breathing, but she says she likes her appearance… Haa. It’s annoying. Annoyed, her chest is tight.

“Give up.”

Arin glared at Han Yerin.

“You know. There’s no possibility. Do you think you wouldn’t know that you were treated like a dog and an idiot? Give up because there’s no possibility.”

Do you think Taeho will like you?

Speak in a harsh tone As I nod her head, Han Ye-rin avoids her gaze. Han Ye-rin’s eyes widen. It looks like an alligator. Why? You know that’s impossible that she can’t reach That there is not even a single possibility.

Give up

Fuck that fucking love. Because Tae-ho is pitiful.

Tell me you’re giving up

Hurry.

“…No, I do not want.”

You don’t like it?

Match-!

Arin and I hit our foreheads with our hands at the same time. So absurd. Forehead is tingling you don’t like it? You?

“Why? Why don’t you like it? You know. That it’s impossible, that it’s unreachable. But why don’t you give up? Are you crazy…?”

Yerin Han stares at the two of us crying. Then, again and again, he speaks in a trembling voice.

“…Even so. Even so. You can have hope.”

…What?

“Even if you know that you can’t reach it. Even if you know that it’s absolutely impossible. You can have hope…”

With me.

Same.

“I want to be loved. I want to be cared for by Taeho, my love. I want to give it to Taeho. I know…!

Han Ye-rin squeezes her breasts. Tearing eyes and trembling voice. Her passion pours out of her mouth.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry again. I’m sorry, I’m going crazy…! Still, you can have hope. A very small hope, at least a ray of light… You can catch it. I am, the villainess. For Taeho, I’m the worst villainess. I don’t know how to turn this relationship around or if it’s possible to start from scratch. It might be impossible. I know that I’m selfish. I know that I’m shameless…! But… But…!”

“Hope, you can have it.”

Glancing, glaring at the two of us.

“So. Give up… I can’t.”

As if Arin and I promised, she shuts her mouth.

“If there’s even a chance, no, if there’s a chance, even if it’s one in ten million. I’m not giving up. Never.”

Because I love you that much

“…”

Han Ye-rin goes out of the bathroom.

…The bloody rivalry has increased.

And that, like me, is a love affair that hangs on hope.

“…It’s annoying.”

*

*

“Sir, I have a girlfriend.”

“Is your girlfriend the best?”

“I’m sorry, Seol-ah. I don’t like anyone other than my girlfriend.”

“I’m sorry Arin, I couldn’t love you more than my girlfriend. Never. I’m sorry.”

“Impossible.”

“I don’t have anything other than a girlfriend. Do you have any plans to play both legs? None. Never.”

“…Sorry. I like my girlfriend better.”

“Girlfriend.”

“No, no. I’m sorry.”

“…”

Evening dusk came up.

The way to go now. After a long time, I step on the stone wall road.

It’s eventful. Incidents never stop, so I just watched Seol-ah and Lee Je-ga fighting between sisters all day long. Han Ye-rin was also caught in the middle… Anyway, Han Ye-rin is not included. Because you can’t love me never.

Although whenever women approached, they stuck by my side as if they were showing off. Anyway, no. Absolutely not.

“Tae-ho, this way. Did you bring Longinus?”

Put your hand inside her pocket and touch the cylinder. Nodding her head, Socheon-senpai smiles. A smile that any man would absolutely fall in love with. I am invalid because I have an owner.

Senior Socheon casually crosses her arms and walks along the stone wall with her and me. As she walks, a familiar figure sits on her large green floor and waves her hand in this direction.

“Lee Cheon-hwa, head of household.”

“It’s been a while.”

As I approach, the housekeeper smiles.

“I heard from Socheon. She said she wanted to train, right? She’ll sit down for now.”

According to Lee Cheon-hwa’s words, he sits on a cushion alongside So-cheon senior.

“Looking at them, they mainly use spearmanship and taijutsu. Due to time constraints, they can’t teach you much, so choose between the two. Spearmanship and taijutsu. Which of the two do you want to learn?”

Of course it’s spearmanship.

“It’s spearmanship.”

“Yes. That’s good. I’ll bring someone over for a while, so take a seat and rest. There’s tea here too, so drink and wait.”

“Thank you.”

The family head gets up from his seat and heads to the building next door. Sitting still, sipping tea and waiting for Socheon-senpai and someone, a familiar In-yeong approaches from afar.

“Huh? Taeho?”

Waist-length blonde hair, green eyes. He’s a head shorter than me, and in his hands… Knuckles?

“Enisha?”

“Today, I’m going to sparr with Enisha.”

“Yes?”

…With Anisha?

Even though Enisha is a supporter, it is absolutely not that her fighting ability is inferior. No, she is rather outstanding. Because she has to be strong enough to help the rest of the best, at least in order to be ‘the best’ in support.

“If you do well, you can win, so don’t worry too much.”

“Oh… Mr. Taeho! I will work hard!”

Enisha smiles wide as she lifts her golden knuckles. Then, she burns her fighting spirit by punching dozens or hundreds of supporter magic formulas all over her body. All golden magic formula. Even just one, a tremendous magic formula spins round and round, threatening me.

“Come to the ground!”

…Baby!

“…”

…Can you win?
