Chapter 170 – I’ll Go First
Also?
As I sit still, Knight Janna-ri smiles brightly.
My whole body stiffened with an indescribable burden. The Jannari Knight has the power to make people cringe just by being there.
“Come to think of it, I said I would get an autograph, but I didn’t get one. I came to get one.”
“Ah…”
So…?
“And you said you meet often? I’m on my way back from shopping. Come on! Look.”
When I look down, as I said, the white plastic bag is full of streets. As I stare at the two without thinking, Knight Jannari grabs my shoulder.
Startled, they exchanged glances. His distinctive yellow eyes glanced at him.
“So, the autograph?”
“Oh, uh, yes.”
When I hurriedly take out a ballpoint pen from my bag, Knight Jannari takes out a notebook from his pocket. The driver smiled as he wrote down the signature he had hurriedly thought of in his open notebook.
Knight Janna-ri puts his notebook in his pocket and looks at me.
“…You. Do you know why I go around getting autographs?”
“Yes?”
I do not know. Never heard of
Contrary to the overwhelming status in the first place, there is too little information revealed. Right now, even if it’s just wiki, there are already more me on both sides.
There are few databases. A bit too much.
“Nothing special. It’s just a hobby. No, is it a habit? Anyway, it’s quite old.”
After putting the cold distance on the floor, turn on the short stretch. A rattling bus makes its way to the bus stop.
“You know, I’ve lived a long time. If you look at textbooks and wikis, I’m over 150 years old.”
An article that suddenly appeared about 30 years after the gate opened. Because he’s one of the invited knights…
“But, that’s wrong. It’s more than that. 150 isn’t as much as a dog’s cock hair. I’ve lived many times longer than that.”
“…Yes?”
What did I just… Hear?
“A dog… As much as a cock hair?”
“Yeah. It’s way over a few times, so why is 150 equal to 150?”
“No no, I, driver… Do you usually swear like that?”
It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a swearing Jannari knight. My eyebrows are out of place in a confused mood. What the hell…
“Huh? Ah… I’m sorry. I guess I’ve got a bad habit of talking.”
“Are you talking?”
“I have friends. Anyway, I’ve lived a little longer. So I’m alive and everyone else is dying. That’s kind of the case. But back in the day, there were no cameras or anything like that.”
“Yes…?”
“So it felt a bit unfair. I have a limit on my memory, but since there’s nothing to leave behind, I’ll forget it after time, and that’s why… I just started leaving autographs for people I’m already close to or close to. I like people. Are you?”
Why are you suddenly saying this?
I sweat and listen.
“Other items are bulky… After all, paper is the best. If you put it in an album after special treatment, nothing is as perfect as that.”
Knight Jannari laughed out loud.
For a moment.
But, more than 150 years? How many times over there?
“Then… How many times have you…”
Have you been doing this?
“Shhh.”
Hundreds of times? Thousands of times? Tens of thousands of times?
“I’ll tell you later.”
The running bus arrives at its destination.
“I’m getting off here. Then, see you later! Little boy.”
Driver Janna-Ri jumps off the bus holding an envelope containing Changeori.
Even if you can’t do it, if you lived for more than 500 years… Joseon Dynasty?
“How…”
Not only did little information have been released, but it was long before the gate opened before 500 years. More than anything. The strangest thing is…
The reason humans can use magic is because of the ‘power’ flowing outside the gate.
Why are you still alive
“…”
Suddenly, you get chills in your arms.
Humanity, with the advent of magic, realized that it was possible to perpetuate life if one had enough ‘talent’ and ‘training’. A close example is Han Seok-joo and Shin So-yu, who are the rulers of Null Group. Besides that, there are a few people who have fallen in love with ‘Fire’, although there are a few of them across the continent.
But even that is possible because there is a gate.
Impossible if the gate is closed.
Right now, I can use magic, use psychic powers, far beyond the limits of my body, and everything I can train is the power that flows through that gate. I mean, thanks to things like mana, qi, and metaphysical energy.
But at a time when there was no such gate.
Ordinary people survive and live for over 500 years?
Is it fluttering like that?
Weird.
Something is strange.
“…”
It’s a lie.
I can’t explain it otherwise.
‘Do you have some hypocrisy?’
“Ummm…”
…Wasn’t the point of lying. If so, what the heck. If it’s not a lie, who is the retirement article I was talking to just a few minutes ago?
“…Perhaps.”
Among the myths circulating on the Internet, there is such a thing.
Among the humans born so far, there are people who live a life of ‘immortality’ due to mutations. I’ve heard that. Maybe it’s like that Through a very small probability, it was mutated by fire and is still alive.
Isn’t Knight Jannari such a person?
But… I’ve never heard of something sick.
“…”
Too healthy, too lively. As if you were originally that kind of person.
“…Write.”
It must be a lie
Thinking like that, the bus arrives at its destination.
“…”
Even after getting down, I think deeply for a long time.
‘Why… Is it me?’
It’s already the second.
A person shrouded in a veil, strong enough that the state cannot handle it, and a man who has lived for more than 500 years.
Why are you looking for me
I hurriedly head home in fear that was coming over me.

Library.
Vacation is right around the corner.
The academy is waiting for the constitutional improvement that the people so much demanded. Now I’m caught by Socheon-senpai and forcibly licking the scruff of my neck.
‘What the fuck is this again…!’
“Haa… Haa… Taeho. Whoa… I’m sorry. I thought this would calm me down.”
“Uh…”
“Don’t worry Taeho, it will fall soon.”
It’s already been 10 minutes…
“I… I’m leaving the academy soon. For some reason, Seol-ah said, ‘I feel sorry for you, so I’ll give you today’, and then she allowed me to approach her. Strangely, Seol-ah didn’t cling to you today, did you notice? It’s mine today.”
“No…! Didn’t you just say that it would fall soon?”
“I don’t remember saying that?”
Ah.
‘It will turn.’
There is a lot to do.
I have to solve the misunderstanding between the two juniors right away, and I have to teach Han Ye-rin to climax. What kind of lightning is this…!
“…I’m sorry, Taeho. As you know, I stay awake at night when you get farther away. Sooner or later, I’ll be able to see my future as a graduate. Taeho, you know? What path should I take in the future?”
Senior Socheon hugs me tightly, and she speaks calmly. Her breasts are squishy and puffy against her heavy breasts. Her cool body temperature comes over here.
“Lee Je-ga’s eldest daughter. Her position is heavier than expected. After graduation, she will probably be less contactable. You’re planning on taking over my place.”
“Yes?”
“It’s literally. Maybe when my father retires, I’ll take over the position. And I’m sure I’ll be away from you, struggling with work, handovers, and so on.”
Senior Socheon hugged me tightly and rubbed her face against her chest before speaking. Senior Socheon’s voice, which doesn’t show emotion easily, is a little locked up.
“I can pass this position on to my younger brother if I want to. But, you know? My younger brother has done a great job, and he’s not mature enough to handle the position. My younger sister admits it, so in the end, I’m the only one left.”
Little by little, her voice locks up. As if she never wanted to leave, she hugged me tightly. She sighs briefly.
“And above all… If your sister inherits this position, you will have less time to be with her. Still, I love my sister more than anyone else. I don’t want to give her a place so heavy. I don’t want to sacrifice her sister, not.”
“…”
“But… But, but, but, but, but…! This feeling is the same for you. My heart hurts.”
Senior Socheon keeps rubbing her face against my chest. She rises slowly and her clothes brush against her breath as she descends.
“I know. I hate it when you do this. But, still… Is it okay if I ask you… Just this one time?”
Socheon-senpai whimpers a little. Her ice-like face melts little by little.
“…I want to play a fool of you.”
“…”
How should I do this…?
“…”
Oh I don’t know
“…All right.”
“Huh.”
Senior Socheon makes her own smile. An awkward but sure laugh.
“Thank you.”
Saying that, he steps away from me.
Senior Socheon grabs me and walks down her hallway.
“Vacation is right around the corner. What are your plans for the future?”
I guess it took about 30 minutes. The topic of conversation shifts to the vacation ceremony.
“Now I’m going to go to training.”
“That’s right. I did. If you come, Arin will focus on teaching you. Maybe by that time, I won’t have a curriculum related to running a family, investing and attracting foreign capital, or interacting with other family heads.”
“…Really?”
“Huh.”
Senior Socheon nodded her head.
“No, maybe we should delay our exchanges a little. Because of this expression… Ha ha.”
Ah…
Surely.
The image of senior Socheon, who is known to the outside world, is still standing still. Psycho Pass? It will take some time to get rid of this terrifying penalty.
“…So that’s what I mean.”
Socheon sunbae is staring at me.
“The only thing I can unleash my expression. Only when you’re by my side.”
Uh.
Wait for a sec.
“Well, that’s what I mean…”
Socheon sunbae hesitates.
“Later… If I have to face another head of household. Can I go with you?”
“Yes?”
“No, so… That’s it. There’s such a thing. If you just put on a scary expression, you’re a nuisance to a different family… Ah! I’ll make sure to repay you! Ho, by any chance… Do you need anything?”
As I put on a fierce expression, senior Socheon turned her head in shame.
“M-I’m sorry… It was so sudden-“
“Are you okay.”
What do you do?
The wider the feet, the better. In the first place, I’m not in a position where I have to manage my image now. In the situation of saving a country, the other side won’t have anything to refuse. Even if I said I didn’t like it in the first place, it’s not something I can do. If the head of the household knows, it’s obvious that he’ll drag me out somehow.
…It’s not that I’m helping Socheon because he looks pitiful. Since we don’t see each other often, we can go together a few times.
“I can go with you a few times.”
“Thank you, Taeho…”
A smile blooms on Socheon’s face.
“Ah… Yes. That’s right. You said you had work today, right? Taeho.”
“Yes yes.”
“… I’m sorry I kept you for so long. Tae-ho. But… I’m sure because you’re by my side. It’s a calming feeling. It’s a little different from her brother.”
Saying so and smiling.
Side.
“…I’ll go first.”
Kisses lightly on the lips
Before I can say anything, he runs down the hallway.
“…”
If you’re feeling bewildered.
Hit the class paper.
