Chapter 569 – Cold War Between East and West
“People are divided… I think we should allot exactly half of his time.”
I wondered what that meant.
First of all, I know that he means me….
“Allocating my time? What’s the story….”
You’re not saying you’re going to cut my body in half, are you?
Ironically, except for me, who was pointed out, the rest started a conversation as if they understood Kang Han-na’s meaning.
“I understand what you mean, but it makes no sense to share your time. Your time is your right.”
“Can I really pass over Eoyeongbuyeong like that?”
“….”
Lena suddenly fell silent and started glancing at me.
I looked at the three women in a situation that I did not understand at the time and asked again.
“Hey, what are you talking about….”
However, strong I ignored her words and proceeded with her story while looking at Lena.
“If you let it go like that… What if this man doesn’t visit there?”
“….”
There… That party is here.
She looked at Lena while trying to avoid my strong gaze.
Lena gave a thoughtful look at my strong question, then shook her head and answered in a firm voice.
“Even if so, it is your choice. If you don’t visit me because I’m not attractive, it’s my fault after all.”
“… You are such a frustrating person.”
Kang Han-na let out a sigh and started glaring at Lena.
It was an expression of frustration rather than anger.
Kang Han-na, who treated me as a doll to the fullest, smiled softly and continued the conversation.
“Okay. I guess so. Let’s assume that this person doesn’t visit you because you’re less attractive.”
“….”
It just reminded me of the situation, but Lena’s expression darkened.
Then he started looking at me pitifully.
Why are you looking at me with those eyes? I never said I wasn’t going….
The strong I was satisfied with Lena’s appearance and struck her decisive blow.
“What if… If their number of visits decreases because of you….”
“… ?”
“Will the personnel in the western living room in charge of you be harmed?”
“Oops!”
Lena began clutching her breasts, reminding herself of her Beatrice on her viola that the moment she might harm her because of her sleep.
Lena, don’t act like that…. If anyone sees it, it’s like I said I’m not really going.
The strong I who properly poked at Lena’s weakness, let alone her guilt, she rather put on an expression intoxicated with her sense of victory.
“You are not alone anymore. So, this is not just greed for you. Did you know?”
“… Okay. I will accept it.”
“Like. Then it’s decided!”
Since today, a treaty has been signed between the eastern living room and the western living room.
The contents of the treaty were simple.
When I stay on the ship, I spend the night alternating between the eastern and western living quarters on a 24-hour basis.
If, inevitably, one day is overdue, the time is extended by that much when staying in the other living room.
If you are going to stay in one living room, the number of people to sleep in will be determined according to the circumstances of Seongsuho.
That was the content of the treaty.
‘It’s not some kind of multi-pillar bookstore….’
Kang Han-na and Lena smiled faintly after making a clear pact.
“I feel comfortable because it’s decided like this.”
“I feel relieved after deciding this.”
“Then, we’ll confirm that the conversation between the two of you is over, and we’ll resume the meeting.”
“….”
No, so… My opinion is….
In the end, the meeting was held again after the unequal treaty, which did not include my opinion at all, was completed.
..
..
After Kang Han Na and Shiho visited, four days had passed.
Originally, a day or two would be enough to move to another world, but the time was extended a bit more for the two of them to adapt.
And after Kang Han-na’s education had progressed to some extent, she started holding executive meetings with Armonia before going to the consulate.
There was only one reason for holding the executive meeting.
“Which ability should I raise….”
A meeting to raise my ability right away.
“The remaining Enel in hand is 7.6 million.”
“There are still many.”
I’m going to write them all soon, but….
First of all, I decided to prioritize before raising my stats.
“Magical power, archery, brain attributes. These three are number one.”
Among the combat skills I had, they were the ones with the most utility.
And the second priority is stealth, canceling abnormal conditions, etc… It was an auxiliary ability.
“Of course, it is recommended to raise the skills of special and legendary jobs naturally for a while.”
“Okay. That’s because the consumption is so absurdly high….”
There is a reason I don’t pay attention to it because of the amount of consumption, but on the other hand, I decided to leave it as it naturally rises as I use it.
I nodded and lowered the podium.
“First of all, magic power, brain attribute, archery… Let’s set all three temperaments to 25.”
“All right. Enel consumed by raising skills… A total of 4 million energy.”
“I’m left with….”
“There are 3.6 million Enel left.”
“Oh, there’s still half left.”
We still have half Enel left on the ship!
The body did not feel a single degree of change, but Enel evaporated in an instant.
“After… If you go to the consulate, you will feel the improvement in your abilities.”
So comforted, I raised my abilities while talking to Armonia again.
Once I raised my attack, it was my turn to raise the means to protect myself.
Abnormal status immunity and stealth, recovery and exorcism.
I decided to raise those four temperaments to 20.
Those temperaments that have all leveled up….
[Magical Power Lv 25], [Thunder Lv 25], [Archery Lv 25], [Recovery Lv 20], [Exorcism Lv 20], [Immunity Lv 20], [Stealth Lv 20].
I was able to fit neatly with 25 and 20.
And the remaining Enel….
“A total of about 500,000 Enel remain.”
There’s only a sip of Enel left in the ship….
“After… Where is the rest of it Let’s leave 500,000.”
“All right.”
You don’t know how the world works.
It’s also important to secure enough Enel to use in case of an emergency.
I leaned heavily against the back of my chair and looked around.
Gorgeous office.
Come to think of it, even when I first came, I sat here and listened to Armonia’s briefing next door.
All the wealth we had then….
“It was 2000 Enel, right?”
Armonia understood my words perfectly and nodded her head in response.
“You’re right.”
“Hey… It’s a feeling of exasperation. It seems like just yesterday that I was shivering with 2,000 energy. I have a feeling that 500,000 energy is not enough….”
“Thanks to Suho.”
“Ah, if you put it that way, it’s thanks to Armonia.”
I glanced up at Armonia and smiled.
“I came here because of Armonia.”
Although there were dangerous things in between, and there were times when I wandered about her near death… One thing I could be sure of.
I could say that there has never been a happier day in my life than this one.
All of this was thanks to Armonia.
As I stared, Armonia looked down at me sitting in her chair, and she was just silent.
“….”
How to say… It’s an atmosphere that reminds me of old thoughts….
It wasn’t a particularly uncomfortable atmosphere, so Armonia and I looked at each other endlessly.
As I was looking at it, a thought came to my mind.
“I see. Didn’t you say that the executive meeting will be held here and the representative meeting will be held in your office?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The executive meeting was a meeting where only Armonia and I participated, and the representative meeting included Lena and Kang Han Na.
In fact, considering the number of people on the ship, it feels like a pun, but not everyone was particularly dissatisfied with the word.
The problem is in my office.
“Can’t we just take care of everything in my office? I don’t sleep here anyway, so it looks good to use it for meetings.”
After the East-West living room treaty agreement (?) Was made, I was living in the west living room and the eastern living room alternately.
Yesterday I spent time with Shiho, and the day before that I spent time with Viola.
In fact, the horse is the office, so I can count on the hands of people who have slept here.
Even when Kang Han Na and Shiho are gone, I tend to spend time in Lena and Viola’s living room after returning.
However, at my words, Armonia answered by shaking her head.
“Do you remember what I asked you to do when I explained about this place?”
“Please? Ah… Did I tell you not to sleep with women here?”
In fact, in terms of the environment of the office, it was much more cozy than the living room.
It was a strange structure with an office and a bedroom attached to a large room, but this concept could also act as an exciting factor.
“Not only that.”
“Yes? Did you say anything other than that?”
“… The real meaning of my request was that no women should be allowed into this place.”
“Ah….”
It didn’t just mean not to go to bed.
It meant that not only a woman’s hair, but also a woman’s breath could not reach this place.
After thinking about it….
“Have you ever told the kids not to come in here?”
“That was the first thing I asked you to do when you first set foot on the ship.”
No wonder… If you’re bored, you might want to listen to it at least once, but I’ve never heard anyone tell me to go to my office, not just the viola.
Come to think of it, this office must have had an owner in the past.
I still don’t know who the owner is or where he is, but I’m also a stone that rolled in, so it’s important to calmly follow his words.
Here’s a curious fact.
“Armonia.”
“Yes.”
“Where is the original owner of this office?”
Armonia looked away at my question and opened her mouth.
“Here it is.”
“… What?”
She wondered if there was a ghost that I couldn’t see, but she received an unexpected answer.
“I was the original owner of this place.”
“Ah… What else do I….”
I’m surprised.
I will say that from the beginning.
For Armonia, it was a great pun.
Then she decided to change the question.
“Then Armonia, who is the owner of the office you are in?”
“….”
Grunt… Again, no answer came back.
No, if you think about it, maybe I was asking a question I shouldn’t have asked.
Come to think of it, Armonia had never talked about her past until now.
Obviously, there was no way I was alone on such a large ship.
That’s the story….
“Sorry, I brought up a pointless story.”
It also meant that the people who had been together before could not come back here again.
It was the moment when I was about to apologize and change my mind.
Armonia closed her eyes and quietly opened her mouth.
“Later….”
“… ?”
“I’ll tell you about myself later, when things get better.”
“… Okay. Let me know when things are convenient for you.”
I did not respond with unnecessary expectations.
Armonia was obviously expressionless as usual, but….
“….”
Even so, there was something longing and sadness in her atmosphere.
For a while, Armonia and I spent time together in her office in silence.
..
..
Saaak!
The iridescent light that poured down in front of my eyes was quickly withdrawn, and a familiar place began to come into my eyes.
‘Big… Long time no see. My room.’
It was my dormitory at the consulate.
As soon as I arrived at the dormitory, I heard a voice over the communication.
[Hero Academy Assistant Instructor Dormitory… The facilities look good. By the way, are there no monitoring devices inside the dormitory here?]
It was Kang Han Na’s voice.
I heard Kang Han-na’s words and smiled and said via telecommunication.
‘If I put a surveillance or wiretapping device on it, it’ll be a mess.’
The dormitory where the heroes live.
Yes, I am an assistant instructor, but I was also living in the same building as them.
If you install a monitoring and monitoring device in such a place and get caught, the guy who installed it and the group he belongs to will be turned into powder in an instant and thrown away beyond the universe.
It was for that reason that the church treated the high-ranking god with the ability to possess the foul flies.
If flies roam around, it’s just a matter of hygiene.
The strong I was horrified to hear her story of her grievance, revealing her disgust in her voice of astonishment.
[Ugh! Paris!? What kind of ability….]
‘As long as you’re careful with that guy, there won’t be any problems. By the way, wasn’t Hanna supervising only at night?’
It was Armonia, not Kang Han Na, who answered my question.
[She has been participating in the daytime for a while for adaptation and education.]
‘Ah… Well, it seems Lena was like that before.’
I nodded and turned on the TV in the dormitory.
And the TV that was turned on was playing as if it were plastered with an article from the morning.
〈 The news is that the headquarters of Ebrica, which was attacked with dungeons the previous day, recovered the dungeons in one day and caught the terrorists who attacked!〉
As expected, it was an uproar.
No, it must have already been an uproar in the media from the time I and Sung Soo-ah fought in Everycar in the first place.
As she watched the news, she started to figure out the situation.
I wonder if I’ve forgotten something….
〈 With the performance of the advanced hero Seong Soo-ah….〉
〈Even in the middle of the instructor’s abdomen….〉
〈 Everyone praises Sung Soo-ah as a hero….〉
The news was full of stories about Sung Soo-ah.
And while watching the news, I was able to know one thing.
‘Wow… Not a word of my story.’
Unlike Seong Soo-ah, my name did not appear in a single line.
