Chapter 921 – 921.Yggdrasil (7)
Next day, morning.
I had a light breakfast at the restaurant with my party members.
Although we did not get to enjoy a sumptuous meal like the royal class, no one complained about the meal here.
‘It’s delicious.’
The restaurant building was ruined due to the war, but the food was excellent.
While eating breakfast like that, Han Bom opened her mouth.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? “Are you feeling unwell?”
It wasn’t something he said to me.
“Ah… No. I exercised hard in the morning…”
This was something he said while looking at Midwinter, who was having breakfast with us.
In the middle of winter, I was barely eating with my hands shaking.
It seemed like his muscles were really sore thanks to fighting with me.
I laughed heartily while looking at such a scene in the middle of winter.
“Winter, I just want a glass of water.”
“Ugh!”
“?”
After hearing what I said, Midwinter looked humiliated, and the rest of the members were confused, unable to understand the situation.
I tried to ignore that confused look and spoke again.
“Why? No?”
“Oh, no! I’ll give!”
With her trembling arms, Midwinter barely took out her bottled water from her inventory and handed it to me.
However, instead of accepting the bottled water, I tapped my water cup on the table and spoke in a dissatisfied voice.
“Hey, I have to follow you.”
“Ugh… Ah Okay.”
Midwinter followed my words and barely poured water into a trembling cup.
Naturally, midwinter didn’t follow properly and water started spilling everywhere.
Midwinter opened her mouth with her eyebrows fluttering as water splashed everywhere.
“Hey, this wasn’t done on purpose. “It’s because my arms are shaking.”
“Okay. I know that much. Don’t worry.”
After forgiving Midwinter roughly, I put the water she poured for me into her mouth and savored it.
“The water tastes good.”
“Ugh…”
The reason Midwinter followed my orders wasn’t just because she lost a bet.
‘I guess I was really quite angry.’
It was to fight with me again.
Her defeated Midwinter wanted to fight me again, and I promised to give her her fighting chance, with one condition:
The condition is…
‘It will be quiet for a week.’
The reward for victory was to be my subordinate for a week.
Please note that the command disobedience function is still operating effectively.
However, if you decide to disobey orders…
‘Well, if you don’t want to do it, we’ll filter it out and add another day.’
The period of one week will gradually increase.
The rematch I so desperately wanted is becoming more and more distant.
By your own decision…
I drank water and smiled at Midwinter.
‘If you want to fight with me, try hard.’
Midwinter frowned as if she had heard what I was thinking and sat back down in her seat.
“Ah, it’s cool.”
Let me hum while savoring the water that midwinter has poured for me…
“What’s going on, this…?” ?”
Everyone in the party started to look at each other in confusion.
We met for the first time yesterday, and I couldn’t even say hello properly. It’s the middle of winter.
However, in one day, I gave orders to Midwinter as if I was a subordinate, and no one seemed to understand.
“Excuse me… Suho, what happened to you two?”
“Hey, midwinter. “Did you do something strange to him?”
Min Ha-yeon asked me, and Han Bom asked Mid Winter.
“Well, that…” .”
Midwinter watching me.
It looks like it wasn’t a lie that he secretly came to see me after putting his sisters to bed yesterday.
If I make a mistake here and the incident from yesterday comes to light, Midwinter will be in a difficult situation.
He suddenly came to me and started a fight without any reason.
‘And it’s no good for me either.’
Because the fact that I also fought with strange bets doesn’t change.
I smiled and made an excuse for him.
“Gyeoreum came to see me yesterday and said she wanted to become stronger.”
“What? “Is it winter?”
“Hey, midwinter. “Did you really go to see him?”
“Oh, that’s…”
I continued talking without giving Midwinter a chance to make excuses.
“Huh. She came to me and said she wanted to become strong like her sisters. So, I sparred because I wanted to check what abilities I had and how good my skills were.”
After that, I explained that I tried to stop sparring after dealing with him moderately, but that I continued sparring for a long time at Midwinter’s request.
“He asked me after the sparring was over. Can you become stronger if you are next to me? So I couldn’t give a definite answer, but they say the possibility is high…”
I shook my head and checked the state of midwinter.
Midwinter trembles indignantly, looking at me.
I gave her a smile and continued her last words.
“He said he wanted to become strong like you guys and become my subordinate.”
“When did I… !”
Midwinter jumped up and screamed her loud voice.
As everyone’s eyes turned to her, Midwineul’s mouth instantly closed as if everyone’s eyes were on her.
I secretly watched the middle of winter and her lips moved.
(Behave well.)
Midwinter saw the shape of my lips and her eyes fluttered.
I was given a choice.
Will she become a woman who recklessly attacked and was defeated miserably, or will she become a summoner who recognized the strong and accepted him as her teacher?
Which one to decide has already been decided.
“That… It wasn’t to that extent. I’m just saying let’s train together whenever we have time…”
Despite putting her pride on the line, Midwinter ultimately chose the latter.
Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom were surprised by the sight of Midwinter, but it was Han Autumn who was most surprised.
“What? Is what you said true? You… ?”
Han Ga-eul was a twin sister who knew Midwinter better than Min Ha-yeon or Han Bom.
A relationship that started in the womb.
From mid-autumn’s perspective, mid-winter’s appearance was very shocking.
Midwinter seemed to have already realized that things wouldn’t go as planned, and he sighed and joined in my excuses.
“Uh… I also wanted to become strong like my sisters…”
“…”
Everyone eventually nodded their heads in agreement with that one word.
However, there were still more questions left on Han Bom’s face, and she opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
“However… “Why are you speaking informally to me?”
Hanbom finds a pod in an unexpected place.
If you think about it, it was a funny situation.
Midgyeoul’s older sisters, Hanbom and Hangaeul, spoke to me respectfully, but Midgyeoul actually spoke informally to me.
Even the name was funny.
Han Bom is Mr.
Mid autumn is my brother.
Midwinter is her (even though that is the name she used when they first met…).
A strange phenomenon in which my title becomes lighter as I go down.
Midwinter said with a sullen expression that surprisingly, there wasn’t much to worry about here.
“When we first meet, we just start off speaking informally and continue on.”
“But still, speaking informally to the man…”
“There’s no reason to be polite to someone I just met, right? Is not it?”
“…”
Midwinter’s words made sense.
This was not modern times where one had to be polite.
Moreover, since he had already started talking to me during our first meeting, I couldn’t force him to use polite language now.
First of all, that is my position.
But…
“Hey, midwinter. “Have you gotten over your habit of talking back yet?”
Han Bom did not accept it, letting out a cruel voice.
And on Midwinter’s face after hearing Midspring’s bloody voice…
“Uh, sister. Why are you so angry? .”
The confident expression suddenly hardened and a shadow of fear began to fall.
It wasn’t a joke; he looked genuinely scared.
‘And… That’s interesting. ‘The one who looks the youngest here is Han Bom.’
Min Ha-yeon, Midwinter, and Hangaeul were all similar in height, around 170, and Hanbom was the shortest.
In addition to her height, Min Ha-yeon, Han Ga-eul, and Han Ga-eul seemed to be adults, but Han Bom looked like a girl reminiscent of her youth.
But she said that a child like that girl…
“… Twice.”
She spread her index and middle fingers and began glaring at Midwinter with her murderous eyes.
Midwinter, startled by Hanbom’s bloody eyes, slumped her shoulders and grumbled.
“Ah Okay. You can just speak respectfully…”
“… “I hope you understand.”
Only after hearing Midwinter’s answer did Hanbom change her cold expression back to warm like a spring day.
Breathing a sigh of relief at that sight…
“Phew…”
It was mid-autumn.
Han Ga-eul, who had been rigid as if she was taking joint responsibility, began to feel relieved as if she was voicing her fear.
‘… ‘Bom is scary.’
Even a little while ago, when Han Bom was setting her mood, Min Ha Yeon couldn’t help but step forward.
However, as soon as the situation was over, the atmosphere started to brighten up.
“Now. Bom, don’t be like that. Winter had a rough time here too. “You probably didn’t want to be polite to a man you met for the first time.”
“… “I’m sorry for breaking the mood.”
“Hey, you don’t have to apologize to me. Winter, you should listen to your sister carefully.”
“… Huh.”
Perhaps she experienced this so often that she decided that forcing herself to come forward would only make her more angry.
While I was admiring the sight of mid-spring, I felt a strong gaze.
Let’s turn her head to where we can feel the gaze…
“…”
Midwinter was glaring at me as if it was unfair.
‘… ‘What did I do?’
I didn’t do anything.
It was you who came to see me and started a fight yesterday, it was your fault that you suffered from muscle pain, and it was your fault that you got scolded by Han Bom for speaking informally.
Rather, I was a benefactor who provided a way out.
‘If someone I don’t know sees me, they’ll think I did something wrong.’
I smiled to myself and let the midwinter glare pass through my eyebrows.
Such a calm atmosphere…
“Oh right. Come to think of it.”
Min Ha-yeon opened her mouth and began to try to change the mood.
Another topic she brought up…
“What about Namgung Yuha?”
It was a story about Namgung Yuha.
As soon as morning came, I went to Namgung Yuha and suggested that we have breakfast together…
“He declined, saying he would have to skip breakfast this morning.”
“Okay? “For some reason, I felt like I would never skip breakfast.”
I also agreed.
Namgung Yuha was a woman who had the appearance of a model student.
So, of course I thought I wouldn’t skip breakfast.
“Rather, you might be the type of person who skips breakfast. “Some say that an empty stomach in the morning is better than you think.”
“But…”
Min Ha-yeon nodded her head in agreement with what I said.
But it was true that, apart from skipping breakfast, I was worried.
‘He looked very tired.’
It wasn’t that he had dark circles or looked haggard, but he had a tired look, as if he hadn’t slept properly.
‘I’ll have to come back later for lunch.’
With that in mind, I finished breakfast with the members.
After breakfast, our next plan is…
“Okay, then let’s find information about the boss dungeon.”
I was looking for information about the boss dungeon.
As soon as Midwinter heard what I said, she opened her mouth with a droopy expression.
“Sister, I’ll go to work first.”
“Oh yeah.”
For your information, Midwinter said he didn’t know anything about boss dungeons.
Let alone the location, we do not know any information about the past.
But…
“As soon as I get to work, I’ll ask if I know anyone.”
Instead, he said he would take advantage of being in the military and find the information we wanted.
And Midwinter looks at Midwinter with a worried expression.
“Huh. Be careful and go back. “If something happens, take care of yourself first.”
“… “Sometimes I wonder if my sister has a dual personality.”
Midspring laughs at Midwinter’s words.
“Sisters, be careful. If there is a guy who is arguing and there is no answer, he comes to me. Ah! If this continues, it will be late! “I’ll go!!”
Midwinter left us without leaving behind those words.
Of course, he didn’t forget to look at me as he left.
‘… Should I at least ask them to say hello?’
I plan to educate him slowly, but I never thought he would leave without even saying hello to me.
I opened my mouth with such regret.
“Now, let’s walk around together.”
As it was our first day exploring the city, we grouped together and started walking around.
..
..
I walked leisurely alone, looking around the dark city.
‘Slowly, residents are moving around.’
The information I found after wandering around the city with my group all day was nothing special.
All I had to do was find out how the city worked.
And all of that information was at a level that could only be heard by Midwinter.
In fact, it was close to having no income.
This was because few city residents walked around during the day, and most summoners walked around.
And the summoner who knows about the boss dungeon we wanted to know about… There wasn’t a single person.
‘I guess I couldn’t pay attention to that right now because of the war…’
In order for an interest to arise, there must be a clear relevant purpose.
Right now, it was a difficult place to survive because of the war.
But on the other hand, I couldn’t understand something I didn’t know at all.
‘What can I say… Even if you ask the residents, they seem to be vague and hiding it.’
It seems like they’re hiding it on purpose… It felt like that.
‘You will gradually find out whether it is an illusion or not as you go along.’
By now, the rest of the group is probably meeting up with Midwinter and talking about various things.
In the middle of winter, we will know the internal situation in more detail, so we can just continue to obtain information in this way.
By the time I thought that, I had arrived at my destination.
Where I arrived…
Knock, knock, knock.
“Namgung Yuha, are you there?”
The door opened right away.
The person who opened the door and greeted me was…
“Ah, you’re here. I was trying to find it…”
Namgung Yuha is smiling awkwardly.
