Kim Jin-cheol recalled the memory of the time and spoke again.
“You have almost recovered the magical power you lost in one day. I was amazed at his monstrous resilience.”
Lee Seo-joon nodded as if in sympathy.
Certainly, Kim Seon-woo’s resilience exceeded the human category.
“So what did you and Seonwoo talk about?”
“There was no talk. I wanted to ask if you knew anything about the stone Jin Chun-wu left behind. But I guess he doesn’t even know. It doesn’t even look like you’re lying.”
“Hmm. I wonder if Seonwoo doesn’t even know…
Lee Seojun muttered quietly.
“Anyway, it was nice to see that he looked healthy. However…
Jincheol Kim was speechless.
As Lee Seo-joon looked at him with suspicious eyes,
Kim Jin-cheol shook his head.
“It is nothing.”
“What is it? Why don’t you talk?”
“For some reason, I thought he was going to do something again. Well, it’s my personal opinion, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Seojun Lee narrowed his eyes.
Lee Seo-joon knew because he had been with Kim Jin-cheol for a long time.
That his ‘feel’ can never be ignored. At that time, a message
alarm sounded
on Lee Seo-joon’s smartphone .
It was a group chat room where friends gathered.
[Choi Seoyoon: That’s right. It seems that our travel plans have been disrupted.]
[Shin Yeongjun: ??? What’s the problem?]
[Choi Seo-yoon: Sunwoo said that he might be busy next month because of the previous contract..]
[Yoon Ha-yeong:?? What promise?]
[Yoon Ha-young: Sunwoo.]
[Yoon Ha-young: © Kim Seon-woo]
“Is something wrong?”
At Kim Jin-cheol’s words, Lee Seo-joon shook his head.
“no. I was supposed to go on a trip with my friends during my vacation next month, but the time doesn’t seem right.”
As he answered, he turned his gaze back to the message.
[Yoon Ha-young: Didn’t you tell me what you promised?]
[Choi Seo-yoon: Seniors say
it was a promise with the president]
[Yoo A-ra: Chairman Kim Jin-cheol?]
[Choi Seo-yoon: Yes.]
«..2”
Lee Seo-joon raised his head.
“grandfather. Did you make an appointment with Seonwoo?”
“no? Haven’t you ever?”
Jincheol Kim tilted his head. It is the expression of a door at this time.
Lee Seo-joon narrowed his eyes and
looked down at his smartphone again.
“…what? Did Kim Seon-woo lie?”
* * *
[Absorbed all the memories of ‘Jin Cheon-woo’.]
“Oops…
I was deeply confused after reading all the memories of Jin Cheon-wu.
Jin Chun-wu’s life. his beliefs thoughts knowledge.
…and the future of the world he saw.
For a moment, he felt assimilated with Jin Chun-wu and felt a sense of confusion.
“…Has Jin Chun-wu lived this kind of life?”
He had lived a much more elaborate and intense life than I thought.
obsession with mystery. And the irrational laws of the world that I came to know by chance. He
has taken many adventures to change all that .
The past whereabouts of Jin Chun-wu I knew was only a small part.
Born as a mere human, to nature. to the world It was a challenge to God.
“Whoa…
I took a slow, deep breath and endured the headache.
Gradually the headache subsided and my head cleared.
The future Jin Cheon-woo saw.
Just as he said, this world would be quickly destroyed.
This is because the world is trying to reset itself in order to keep the crumbling laws.
If that happens, countless disasters and catastrophes will happen in the world, which will lead to the end in the distant future.
No matter how long it is, 30 years.
Of course, it is not that there is no way to prevent destruction.
It is because it is enough for me to become a ‘god’ and revise the magic formula that makes up the world so that the world will not be destroyed.
and. It is not impossible.
Because I have the Authority [Deus Ex Machina].
But there were some problems.
That there is a golden time to correct the world.
After Jin Chun-wu’s death, he had been asleep for a year, so that time was running out.
Maybe a month at most?
…and one more important thing.
“I have to go back eventually.”
In order to modify the world safely and correctly, there
must be no ‘outsiders’ in the world.
So, in order to prevent destruction, ‘I’ must leave this world.
“Haa…
A deep sigh broke out.
I finally made up my mind to settle down in this world, but I have to go back to my original world?
“…Are you really kidding me?”
At first, I didn’t have a choice.
I succeeded in changing the fate of the world through my efforts, but my own destiny was fixed.
I didn’t have any thoughts of irrationality and resentment.
“How am I supposed to do this?”
I wasn’t prepared… How can I explain this…
I sighed in agony and felt a hard texture under my feet.
“…… Huh?”
Feeling the change in my feelings due to the effect of the bond, Gretel approached me.
Gretel’s eyes trembled, as if she instinctively felt uneasy.
“Gretel.”
I smiled bitterly and hugged Gretel.
* ♦ ♦
“Kim Seon-woo? Haven’t you been alone since before?”
It’s been three days since I read Jin Chun-wu’s memory and had time alone.
After clearing my mind, I had a meeting with Lee Seo-joon’s party after a long time.
This is a small pub near the association.
Everyone was looking at me with worried eyes at
the words of Shin Yeongjun, who was blushing from drunkenness .
“sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while.”
At my words, Shin Yeongjun put the snack in his mouth and narrowed his eyes.
“Suspicious… Kim Seon-woo. Every time that happens, something always happens.”
“It’s not a common pattern.”
Yuara nodded her head in sympathy. The others seemed to agree with the words, and their expressions darkened for a moment.
Yooara stared at me and said in a worried voice.
“Is something going on?”
I closed my mouth.
I had to talk about the ‘memory of Jin Chun-wu’, but it didn’t come out of my mouth.
Eventually I shook my head.
“no. Nothing happened. Do not care about it.”
“…that’s suspicious.”
“It’s because nothing happened.”
I chuckled and took a drink.
The taste of alcohol, which always felt sweet,
feels a bit bitter today.
“…what. okay.”
Those who observed my reaction cast aside their suspicions and followed me to a drink.
After that, the conversation resumed.
A story from a recent association mission.
Talking
about vacation next month .
“Oh. good luck Aren’t you going to have no time at all next month?”
“next month?”
“huh. He said that he might not have time for a whole month because he had a prior appointment with the president’?”
“ah.”
It was then that I remembered what had happened three days ago.
At the time, I said I wouldn’t be able to go because I had a promise with Han Se-yeon, but now I can’t go because of another reason.
“huh. That’s it. sorry.”
Then Seojun Lee intervened.
“But my grandfather said he didn’t make any arrangements with you beforehand.”
“..2″
Lee Seo-joon’s words raised doubts in everyone’s eyes.
“What do you mean? Didn’t you have an appointment with the president?”
When Yuara asked, Seojun Lee shook his head.
“Didn’t Grandpa say he didn’t make any appointments?”
“……what?”
“Seniors?”
Everyone’s eyes are on me, demanding an explanation.
I felt a moment of bewilderment.
I didn’t really lie, but it became a situation where I lied.
“Oh that. I was referring to another president, not Chairman Kim Jin-cheol.”
“Another president?”
Seoyoon Choi, who was lost in thought for a moment, said with her eyes narrowed.
“If it’s another president… Could it be Han Se-yeon?”
“…Uh, right.”
In an instant, the atmosphere cooled.
I didn’t have anything to explain, so I kept my mouth shut.
I feel like I’ve committed a big sin.
At that time, Yoon Ha-young smiled and said as if trying to revive the atmosphere.
“Guys, why? There may be an appointment. But it’s not like I had an appointment all month long. right?”
I was scratching my head.
“Oh that. I was supposed to go around the world.”
Well, even that ended up not going.
At that moment, Yoon Ha-yeong’s smiling face hardened.
“Alone?”
late morning.
After barely clearing up the misunderstanding, I was returning home feeling the cold winter breeze after drinking.
Next to me was Choi Seo-yoon, who was in the same direction as the house, and his face flushed from the alcohol.
As she walked down the street without saying a word, she glanced at me and said,
“Seniors. Am I fine today?” At her words, I laughed. The last time I had a drink with her, I had a few drinks and got drunk, but today I’m fine.
