Han Se-yeon, who returned to work, met Elin right away.
She always showed only a dignified appearance, but her face, which I hadn’t seen in a long time, was emaciated, perhaps because of the association’s pursuit.
“…wasn’t it difficult for you to come?”
“It wasn’t that hard. Although the association’s pursuit was a little annoying.”
After Elin said that,
she turned her gaze to the Sword Demon standing behind her.
Did he feel nervous at the fact that one of the strongest players was right in front of him? Elin hardened her expression for a moment, then turned her gaze back to Han Se-yeon.
“I want to ask you something.”
“Please speak.”
“Kim Jinwoo. Do you know where it is?”
An expected question was asked.
And asking this question in this situation meant that she knew that Kim Seon-woo and Kim Jin-woo were the same person
.
“…Sorry, but I don’t know.”
“…you don’t know either. I thought you would know.”
Elin let out a short sigh.
It was a completely different look from her, who only showed a relaxed look.
Seeing her like that, Han Se-yeon felt suspicious.
“…But why did you think that if it were me, I would know Jin-woo’s whereabouts?”
“Yeah. He… no, because Kim Jin-woo usually paid a lot of attention to you. I tried a lot for
you .”
At those words, Han Se-yeon felt a pain in a corner of her heart.
Jinwoo Kim was such a person.
A person who has done you a lot of favors.
But now he couldn’t help him in any way.
He sighed briefly to gather his thoughts, then asked again.
“I will also ask. What is your relationship with Jinwoo
?”
At that question, Elin shook her head.
“I don’t know either.”
“….”yes?”
“I thought, but I didn’t know. no. Is it the right expression to say that I am confused?”
It seemed that Elin was greatly confused by Kim Jin-woo’s outrageous painting.
I got it.
I was very surprised when I saw it for the first time.
And seeing Elin like that,
I was convinced. “
Mr.
Elin
.”
u..2”
Elin looked up at her. Han Se-yeon looked straight into her eyes and said.
“Would you like to work for me?”
Choi Jae-hyeong, the head of the Choi family, sighed briefly as he looked at the empty seat at the table.
It has been three days since he forcibly brought his daughter, Choi Seo-yoon, to the mansion in case of an accident.
She was refusing to eat in defiance of being deprived of her liberty.
Since he was a daughter who always followed him, the daughter’s rebellion, which he was experiencing for the first time, puzzled him.
“Is Seoyoon still not coming out of the room?” Eventually, Choi Jae-hyung, who finished eating alone
, asked
one of the students who managed the mansion .
“You have completely locked your door.”
Choi Jaehyung sighed.
Kim Seon-woo….
He is the culprit behind all of this.
After meeting that guy, my daughter continues to receive only negative influences.
It’s not just this day.
In the past, Seoyoon also committed the eccentricity of following Kim Sun-woo into the world of mystery. It’s fortunate that it worked out, but
it was a situation where
you might be locked in a virtual world for the rest of your life and separated from your daughter .
“…Kim Seon-woo.”
Knock knock. He repeated the name as he pounded on the table with nervous gestures.
It seems that she becomes emotionally affected by her daughter’s work.
I promised myself that I would judge everything rationally.
I was more concerned about seeing her childhood image overlapping with her daughter.
“Let’s go see Seoyoon for a moment.’
Choi Jae-hyung got up and headed for Choi Seo-yoon’s room.
As usual, the door was firmly closed.
I turned the doorknob, but it was locked, so I couldn’t open it.
“Seo Yoon-ah.”
Choi Jae-hyung called Choi Seo-yoon beyond the door.
But no answer came.
I knocked on the door, wondering if he was asleep.
“Seo Yoon-ah.”
The answer still hasn’t come.
I knocked on the doorknob and knocked on the door, but
there was no response as there was no one inside.
“If you don’t answer, I have no choice but to force open the door.”
But the answer is still not heard.
Choi Jae-hyung, who felt uneasy for a moment, urgently raised the mana in his hand.
Then he broke the doorknob and opened the door.
“Seo Yoon!”
When I opened the door, all I could see was an empty room.
Choi Seo-yoon, who should have been there, had disappeared without a trace.
Jaehyung Choi looked around the room with trembling eyes.
The window was wide open and a TV was on inside.
And a sound came from the TV.
[…There is speculation that the identity of the magician who defeated the black beast is Kim Seon-woo, who has gone missing. The Association also left open the possibility of this and put forward an investigation.]
At that time, the disciple who came belatedly came running and shouted.
“Go, Lord! The lady’s things are gone!”
Choi Jae-hyung did not answer and slowly entered the room.
The disciple looked at the calm figure and felt a sense of wonder, then found an empty room and a wide open window.
“…ok? Miss, did you escape?”
“…it seems so. Who do you resemble
?”
Choi Jaehyung let out a deep sigh.
“Uh… I’ll call the kids and search right away!”
Jaehyung Choi said as the disciple was about to run somewhere in a hurry.
“done. Let them do what they want to do. I probably won’t be able to stop it.”
“yes?”
Choi Jae-hyeong looked at a small note placed in the room.
[I’m going to school because I have someone to meet.]
[Six days have passed since the new king of demons was born. There was also a big change in Mine’s behavior as a result. This is a noticeable decrease in cases of damage caused by mines. According to Mine experts, the current Mine regime is…]
Three days pass again.
The news
was playing on the small TV in the hospital room.
After changing clothes and getting ready to leave the hospital, Yoon Ha-yeong looked out the window.
The bright morning sun was shining warmly on his face.
“Yoon Ha-young – congratulations on your discharge!”
Just then, the door to the hospital room was thrown open, and a familiar face appeared.
It was Shin Young-joon who came with a small fruit set in one hand.
Yoon Ha-young smiled slightly as she received the gift.
“Youngjun, thank you.”
After that, Lee Seo-joon Yooara and Lee Hyun-joo also appeared.
They also congratulated Yoon Ha-young on her discharge by giving each one a gift.
Yoon Ha-yeong smiled as she looked at the friends who had gathered for her.
“Thank you for coming. It’s been a long time since we gathered a lot. right?”
“I know. Although I can see an empty seat.”
There was silence for a moment at Shin Young-jun’s words. Lee Seo
-joon let out a deep sigh
at the remarks of Shin Young-joon, who was always ignorant .
Then, belatedly, someone showed up.
“Seniors! Congratulations on your discharge!”
“Seo Yoon!”
The identity of the surprise guest, which Ha-Young Yoon did not expect, was none other than Choi Seo-Yoon.
Rumors spread that he was forcibly taken to his parents’ home, so he was even more pleased because he thought he would not be able to see them today.
“What happened? Did you come with permission from the family?”
“No. Of course I sneaked out!”
Everyone smiled bitterly at Choi Seo-yoon’s confident
cry
.
After Shin Young-jun, everyone shut up again at the remark that poured cold water on them
.
“Let’s sleep. Let’s get out of here. It’s frustrating.”
Yoon Ha-young took the lead and came out of the hospital to change the atmosphere. A
cold winter wind blew in.
Yoon Ha-young took a short breath in the cold air and said,
“Uh~ Finally, liberation.”
“Hayoung!”
Then an old man stood in front of her,
“Grandma.”
The old man was Yoon Ha-young’s grandmother, who had been by her side while she was hospitalized.
At the same time, everyone politely bowed their heads and greeted them.
The grandmother looked at Yoon Ha-young’s friends
and smiled happily.
“Are they friends? yes~.”
“My younger brother, Grandma, is also a good person!”
When Shin Young-joon, who has good sociability, spoke first, Yoon Ha-young’s grandmother chuckled,
“Yes, Ha-young. I heard that school will be closed for a while. What are you going to do? Are you coming home?”
As several incidents overlap, the Magic Academy is closed for the time being.
Of course, it is expected that
it will not take a long break because there are still final exams left.
At Yoon Ha-young’s words, the grandmother looked at her with a worried face,
because she also knew about the recent events centered on Yoon Ha-young
.
“You don’t have to worry. And that grandma is stronger than I thought.”
The grandmother looked at Yoon Ha-yeong and kept her mouth shut as if feeling a surge of emotion, then said, ”
…When did our Ha-young grow up like this?”
The grandmother held Yun Ha-young’s hand tightly and turned her gaze to her friends,
“My friends. Ha-young take good care of me.”
Everyone smiled softly and nodded at Grandma, so that she could trust her and feel safe
.
“Grandma. I’ll take you there.”
“No. That’s fine. I’m going alone, so
stay with my friends.”
“…grandma.”
After that, the grandmother said goodbye and disappeared, and
the party, including Yoon Ha-young, stared blankly at the back of her hair,
then looked at each other.
A short word from Young-Jun Shin, and everyone noticed the implied meaning behind it.
“Shouldn’t we look for it?”
“…That’s right. I want to hear what happened.”
While saying that, Lee Seo-joon looked around. A
man sitting on a park bench reading a book and a woman talking on the phone in front of the front door.
All of them were already aware that they were agents of the association that was monitoring them.
“How? But how can I find it?”
“That’s…♦.
“You have to use the compass of fate.”
At Choi Seo-yoon’s words, everyone’s eyes turned to her.
The Compass of Fate.
It was an artifact that helped find the location of a person connected by fate.
In order to prevent personal privacy and falling into the hands of villains, they pledged 20 years later to land on the ground. It was buried, but it was the only way to find Kim Seon-woo in the current situation.
“…The problem is the association.”
They were currently being monitored by the Association,
because they were closest to the King of Demons, who were designated as dangerous by the Association
. You have to avoid work.”
They can’t let their mistakes adversely affect Seon-woo Kim.
Because everyone thought that Seon-woo Kim would not be a demon.
That was the moment.
“Student Ha-Young Yoon!”
A woman in a white coat was running towards her,
the doctor in charge of her hospital room. The doctor held out the basket he was holding to her.
“You left this behind.”
It was a small basket containing several flowers. Yoon Ha-yeong looked at it blankly and said.
“Isn’t this mine?”
“yes? It was placed in front of Hayoung Yoon’s hospital room.”
At that moment, her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at the flower basket.
“The gift has been delivered.”
Mine’s hideout, lit up with bright lights to suit my taste.
Haryeong approached me and posted a report. I nodded while sitting on the sofa.
“great job.” I just sent
a small gift through Xia Ling
.
‘Healing Flower Basket’.
It was not an ordinary flower basket, but a mysterious magic tool that had a mana recovery effect.
It was not bought or purchased with money.
While examining the numerous treasures piled up in the hideout, I thought it would be useful to Yoon Ha-yeong, so I gave it to Ha-Young as if I were stocking up.
At that time, Ha-ryeong spoke to me in a cautious tone.
“…the king. I know you have a deep affection for them
, but I think it would be better for them to cut ties now.”
“……know.”
I know what Ha-ryeong is trying to say.
The relationship with Lee Sang-na, who has become the ‘King of Demons’, is rather likely to instill crisis in them.
Feeling bitter, I changed the subject.
“How about the damage of the Black Witchbeast?”
“It is a growing trend. There has been no major damage in Korea yet,
but the damage in Mongolia is increasing exponentially.”
“Is that so…
The speed of encroachment by the black monster is faster than I expected.
It’s still a headache because the events of the original work have been moved forward, but the level of difficulty has risen even more.
“Which Mine will participate in the battle?”
“I gathered about 50 A-rank mines, but…
Ha-ryung sighed and said.
“Right now, the Mine Society is going through a period of chaos. I think we need to have more stability for public sentiment.”
That’s not wrong.
It seems like you’re following my opinion right now, but there’s no law that a coup won’t happen again like the second king of demons.
“There is no such thing as an easy solution.”
Being the king of demons doesn’t mean you have great power.
If that were the case, neither the first king of demons nor the second king of demons would have been betrayed.
There is no guarantee that I will not see the same ending as them.
“Is earning trust a priority? All right. Go ahead.”
Ha-ryeong bowed her head to me and disappeared.
I stared blankly at the wall, lost in thought for a while, then opened the [Ancient Mine’s Gosei] obtained from the treasure house.
Numerous magic formulas contained in the old book…
I stretched out my hand and realized the magic formula contained in it.
Regressed extras become geniuses
