Chapter 944 – 944.Yggdrasil (7)
When I came out of the sleep, the war was already over.
Usually, the war took the form of a 5th floor invasion, and once an invasion took place, it lasted about 2 to 3 days on average.
But this time… And that was over in just a few hours.
The reason is that… It was thanks to our party.
I’m not praising myself.
The battle ended quickly thanks to our party’s action.
First of all, because the magic soldiers focused their artillery on me, I was unable to properly launch air strikes throughout the city.
Additionally, the cavalry seemed to be an elite unit.
The artillery bombardment did not work properly, and even the elite cavalry was annihilated.
The elves, aware of those two situations, stopped the invasion and immediately retreated.
Afterwards, I, Min Ha-yeon, Han Bom, Mid Winter, and Nam Gung Yu-ha led the cavalry to the prison.
For reference, the cavalry also included Guildon and Pusroda.
Since I couldn’t take Pusroda with me through the messy streets that had been hit by artillery fire, I was able to leave him at a stable through Izanka.
Pusroda didn’t like the stable, but he soon became calm when I petted him and told him that he would be moved to a better place later.
After leading the cavalry to the prison, we went to the bar after being questioned about various things.
It was an after-party.
He wanted to come to the after-party in the middle of winter, but he was so busy that he couldn’t come along.
So we headed to the bar for an after-party.
But while we were just walking down the street, people were cheering when they saw our party.
“These are the summoners who were active this time!”
“Did that summoner really shoot down the bombardment alone?”
“Besides, I heard you wiped out the Pegasus cavalry all by yourself?”
“Plus, the woman walking next to me summoned monsters the size of buildings!”
“Hey, aren’t you exaggerating too much!?”
“Does that make sense!!”
At first, the residents didn’t seem to believe that.
But…
“Really!! “I saw it!!!”
“I saw it too!! “You should have seen it yourself!”
“… “Is it real?”
“It’s real!”
As witnesses came forward, everyone seemed to gradually believe it.
The members and I barely arrived at our destination, the bar, and immediately tried to sit down.
But as soon as I tried to sit down…
“You-all! “Don’t sit there!!”
“… ?”
The bar owner came out and interrupted us as we tried to sit down.
At first, I was curious as to whether the damage from the war was being blamed on us, but…
“There is a separate group room over there, so you can drink there.”
The group room that the bar owner guided us to was a room-shaped space.
Just looking at it, it seemed like a place that was usually empty, but seemed to receive guests from important groups.
“You must be tired, but wouldn’t it be troublesome if people bothered you? “Drink here.”
“Haha… Thank you.”
“Order now… No, just don’t order it! “I’ll bring all the food and alcohol from our store!”
I shouted at the restaurant owner and quickly left the group room.
After confirming that the restaurant owner had left, Min Ha-yeon smiled and opened her mouth.
“Wow, the treatment changed in just one day.”
“I know… “This is all thanks to you.”
Eyes suddenly focused on me.
I answered by nodding my head.
“What are you talking about. Everyone had a hard time. Besides, that person is probably because Hayeon took care of the store for you earlier.”
For reference, the restaurant we are sitting in now was the restaurant where Min Ha-yeon blocked the meteor shower earlier.
He protected his store, so it would be natural to treat him like a hero.
Min Ha-yeon smiled at my praise and bowed her head.
“No matter how good I am, Suho, are you the only one who can do it?”
“Haha…”
As the compliments continued, Han Ga-eul looked at me and asked carefully.
“The cavalry earlier… “Are you really sure you fought alone?”
I smiled bitterly at Han Ga-eul’s worried eyes and nodded her head.
“Oh, it was a good match.”
“No matter how good the match is, 200 people alone…”
Mid-autumn, it seemed like I couldn’t picture myself fighting.
The opponents were on flying Pegasus, and there were even more than 200 of them.
It seemed hard to believe that they had captured such a person without any injuries.
“But… “If you have that level of skill, these guys are gum.”
“If you think about when Suho fights Cerberus, that must be cute.”
What can I say… It felt like they were exaggerating me too much and giving me a boost.
Although I was very skilled, that skill was thanks to the magic of possession.
And the fight against Cerberus was also done by trusting only the warp.
I was about to wave my hand, but Namgung Yuha, who was next to me, started complimenting me.
“If it weren’t for you, everyone there would have died.”
“Ah, actually, those guys came here because I was there.”
As I said, if it weren’t for me, the locals wouldn’t have faced the cavalry.
But Namgung Yuha, who heard what I said, smiled and nodded her head.
“It was a coincidence that you were there, but it was your will that saved the people. Coincidence and will… “Both situations are ultimately just byproducts of necessity.”
It seemed like what was already happening was going to happen anyway, so there was no need to blame yourself.
“And above all, I… I will never forget today for the rest of my life. “Thank you for saving me.”
Haha, I’m so glad you’re safe.”
“Hehe…”
Just like that, Namgung Yuha and I looked at each other and smiled.
OK…
“…”
“…”
“…”
The three women began glaring at me with burdened eyes.
‘… Namgung Yuha is an outsider to her, so it’s no joke.’
Min Ha-yeon, Mid-Spring, Mid-Autumn.
The three women also fought with each other over me.
But it was very weak.
Thanks to the fact that they had known each other closely their entire lives, their fights were so cute that you could say they were at the level of children’s house play.
But when outsiders came in, the atmosphere changed drastically.
‘But… ‘I did act the same way when I saw Stella.’
I began to change the mood by roughly avoiding the gaze of the three people.
“Is midwinter going to be late?”
“I said Winter might not come.”
I heard that it might be late because it’s busy, but I didn’t know it was that busy.
After Min Ha-yeon answered like that, she smiled and spoke to Namgung Yu-ha.
She said, “I heard you went through something dangerous. We should have gone there first…”
“No. Rather, I am largely responsible for acting alone. Sorry.”
“Hey, you’re a party member. “There’s no need to apologize for something like that.”
Fortunately, the atmosphere was easy to change.
As Min Ha-yeon began to speak like that, Hanbom and Hangaeul also slowly began to speak as well.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Hehe… “All wounds were healed at that time.”
“Thank god. If you are injured, please do not feel pressured and tell us right away.”
“Okay. “Thank you for your concern.”
While the four women were chatting with each other in a friendly atmosphere, the restaurant owner brought in a huge amount of food.
“Come on, eat as much as you want!”
“And…”
The expression that I brought it here for reference was not an exaggeration.
The restaurant owner had piled food on top of a huge cart and dragged it to the group room in a precarious condition.
“If you give it to us like this, you can give it to other customers…” .”
“Are you okay! “There’s a lot of food left in the warehouse, so don’t worry too much.”
After reassuring us, the restaurant owner started putting food and drinks on the table.
Even on this large table, it was not possible to place all the food and alcohol.
“Oh my, the dining table is small.”
“I just give the rest to another customer. I don’t think we can eat all of this…”
“I guess so. If you run out of anything, call me right away! “I’ll do it again!”
So the restaurant owner left with the leftover food.
“… “Can you eat all of this?”
“First of all, I’m impossible.”
“You are a prophet. “Please predict if I can eat all of this.”
“Sister! Prophecy is not a child’s joke…”
I raised my glass as I looked at the members admiring the food.
“Let’s have a drink first.”
At my words, Min Ha-yeon, Han Bom, and Han Ga-eul raised their glasses to toast.
And Namgung Yuha, who was next to me…
“This… Can we do it like this?”
Just like us, he raised a glass full of foamy beer.
The one who was surprised by that appearance was none other than me.
“Uh? “Can I drink alcohol?”
Until now, Namgung Yuha had never put a glass of alcohol in her mouth.
It was the same even when I first met Izanka.
No matter how exciting the atmosphere was, even if I drank water, I never put alcohol in my mouth.
That kind of Namgung Yuha…
“… “I don’t want to be alone anymore.”
He raised his glass and appealed that he sincerely wanted to become friends with us.
Seeing Namgung Yuha like that, Min Ha-yeon smiled and stretched out her glass.
“Namgoong Yuha.”
“… Yes?”
“We’d like to welcome you to our party.”
“Ah…”
Namgung Yuha smiled shyly, stretched out her arm holding her glass, and clinked Min Ha-yeon’s glass.
“Thank you for welcoming me… “Thank you very much.”
“Ruler! Let’s drink!”
With Min Ha-yeon’s shout, we raised her arm and clinked her glasses hard.
Thanks to Min Ha-yeon, the atmosphere became lively again, and Namgoong Yuha was also able to take advantage of the atmosphere and exchange stories happily.
While the party members were gathered together and chatting happily, a signal came.
“Ah… I need to go to the bathroom for a moment…”
It was a signal to urinate.
After asking for understanding from the members, I left the room and went straight to the bathroom.
“Wow, if you just drink beer…”
That was the moment I had to urinate.
Thud!
“Yes!?”
Thud! Coo thump!
Suddenly, the sound of the floor shaking was heard.
It was clear that the sound came from inside this building.
I finished quickly and then quickly left the bathroom.
But…
‘… ‘Everything’s going well?’
The customers inside the restaurant were enjoying their drinks as if nothing had happened.
I tilted my head and headed toward the group room.
As soon as I entered the group room, I noticed something strange.
“What? Namgung Yuha… ?”
Namgung Yuha was not there.
Because I was drunk, I was anxious that something might have happened without me knowing…
“I just heard that an old colleague came to the bar and moved to another room.”
“Eh?”
I sat down, tilted my head, and asked about the situation.
The sound of the earthquake that rang earlier.
That was the sound of Namgung Yuha’s past party leader opening the restaurant door and entering.
And just in time, Namgung Yuha figured out her identity just by looking at her feet and entered the group room on the other side with her former party leader.
First, I knew the situation.
But surprisingly, the members’ reactions were interesting.
“Did you see her earlier?”
“And… It wasn’t a joke. “I think I know why Izanka calls her leader.”
“There was a reason why Izanka and Namgung Yuha were recognized as party leaders.”
The three people had already seen Namgung Yuha’s former party leader, whom I had been so curious about until now.
‘Ah… Kavi… I was really curious what it looked like.’
Regardless of what I was curious about, I was able to get a rough idea of its appearance.
He is over 2 meters tall, has a body bigger than Izanka, and even has more curved muscles…
The three people enjoyed the opportunity to see what a human weapon is.
Except me…
‘Armonia! ‘Aren’t there any scenes that the three of you saw saved separately?’
[Sorry. I decided it wasn’t necessary, so I wasn’t looking at the three’s view.]
‘What a waste…’
I wanted to go to the group room where Namgung Yuha was and have a look, but I thought it would be rude, so I gave up in the end.
It was the moment when I gave up and was about to drink again.
Someone suddenly opened the door to the group room and came in.
“Uh? Sister?”
It was midwinter.
Hanbom asked, looking at her with a surprised look on her face.
“Uh? Are you finished already?”
“No, I came to look for the leader. I heard it was in a group room so I thought it was here…”
For your information, there was also a woman we knew standing behind Midwinter.
“Ahaha! “I was having an after-party, but you interrupted me.”
It was Izanka.
“Don’t say that. We actually welcome it.”
Haha! “Actually, I would like to sit together like this, but it will be difficult due to circumstances.”
The matter seemed like it was probably about finding the leader.
We immediately told them the story of Namgung Yuha and showed them the group room where the leader was presumed to be.
“I’ll be back later!”
“I’ll come too when I have time!”
It was the moment when the two people were about to leave.
An old woman behind Midwinter and Izanka appeared and asked us.
“Hey… “Who are these guys again?”
It was an old woman dressed neatly.
Midwinter began to introduce us to the old woman.
“I told you this last time, right? “They are my sisters.”
“Ohh… “It was family.”
An old woman with a benevolent expression.
The old woman looked at me…
“Yes… ?”
“?”
I hadn’t even introduced myself yet, but he started staring at me and tilting his head.
Midwinter continued the introduction without paying attention to the old woman’s appearance.
“The man here…”
However, the old woman interrupted the midwinter introduction and spoke directly to me.
“Were you brought here too?”
“… Yes?”
When the old woman suddenly pretended to know me, the members around her began to frown and stare at me.
I waved my hands and hastily answered as if making an excuse.
“Is this your first time meeting me?”
“First?”
The old woman clicked her tongue and shook her head.
“It’s because the young guy already has a terrible memory…”
“…”
This old lady suddenly started a fight…
It was a moment when I felt such a headache and searched through my memories like crazy.
[Suho. That old woman’s temperament window…]
‘No. I don’t necessarily want to see her grandmother’s temperament window. I guess that old lady is mistaken anyway…’
[No. There is already a record of opening the temperament window.]
‘What!?’
You really met me?
At that moment, a temperament window appeared above the old woman’s head.
=====
Balm
[Recovery], [Terrible], [Temperament], [Lack of patience]…
=====
Even when I looked at the temperament window, I couldn’t think of anyone.
There must be one or two temperament windows that I have seen…
But because of the old woman’s words…
“Thanks to you, I was able to clear my son’s name. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“Ah!!!”
As if struck by lightning, she was able to recall her grandmother’s identity.
“Grandma in Krell Village!?”
“Now I remember.”
My first mission and the historical place where I met Viola.
It was the cursing old woman I saw in Krell Village.
“What are you doing here?”
“What’s going on… “If you came here too, you probably know why.”
“Ah…”
Summons.
In other words, this old woman was summoned here just like the members here.
However…
‘Uh… ?’
Suddenly, I started feeling chills all over my body.
Why?
Not only skin, but bones… Furthermore, it felt like ice needles were seeping into all of my joints.
It was a moment when I felt such a terrible chill.
Thud!
The old woman looked back and giggled as the floor vibrated.
Hehe… That guy happens to be coming this way. “That guy wanted to see you so much.”
Thud!
As soon as the floor started shaking again, Izanka looked at me with a surprised expression and said.
“Oh my! Could it be that the man the leader has been looking for so long…”
Thud!
“… No way?”
I carefully got up from the chair with a trembling body.
I felt like I wanted to break the window and dive outside right now.
But…
Thud!
But when the floor shook once again, my body became rigid and could not move, like a rat in front of a snake.
Thud!
The floor rumbled once more, and Izanka, Midwinter, and the old woman standing outside the door split to either side.
A body so large that it blocks all the light coming from outside the door.
The woman with the huge body shouted in a loud voice as if she could destroy the building.
“Ooooo!!! “I finally found it!!!”
It was the worst moment of reuniting with the vigilante.
