2학년 (3)
해가 떠오르자마자 한 건 바로 냉장고의 확인이었다. 어제 넣어둔 케이크와 카스테라 등의 빵을 꺼내니 한기가 느껴졌다.
흐음. 냄새를 맡아서 확인하여 이상이 없는 걸 확인했다. 생크림이라도 하루 만에는 안 상해서 다행이네.
일단 가장 중요한 건 확인했고···, 이제 사전 준비를 해볼까.
철컥.
벽에 기대어 놓아둔 케이스를 열었다. 그러자 안에서 보관되어있는 각종 커스텀 파츠들이 보였다. 꺼내서 살펴보니 표면에는 그동안 벌인 전투로 긁힌 흠집들이 있었다.
Although he was paid once a month or two ago, he went through a lot of battles in a short time because he climbed the tower at every break as well as commissions.
If it’s a simple structure, I’ll take care of it to some extent, but this is a weapon that contains the essence of a Black Hawk. It was not a level that I could personally pay for, but it was a problem.
‘Would you like to hear another voice?’
uhh The maintenance cost is no joke because the tower’s minerals are in it.
Still, it doesn’t have that kind of performance. Swords, spears, axes, and even guns can be solved at once.
Just wipe off any dirt or stains with a cloth, and the blemished surface will quickly become shiny. When I put them back into the case and lifted them up, I felt a hefty weight.
Seeing that he was slowly getting ready to go out, the Holy Sword said.
[If you’re ready, let’s go. It’s Sunday, so you shouldn’t have to rest for dinner.]
[ok?]
It seemed that the Holy Sword had misunderstood something, so I put the case on my back and answered.
“I’m leaving you.”
[Noope What does that mean?!]
As the holy sword shouted loudly, I unknowingly covered my ears. It was ringing in my head, so turning the volume down was of no use.
No, it’s not like I’m locked up in my room like I used to, and I’ve been going out all the time and saying that I don’t go out for a day or so. I said, remembering what the Holy Sword had said yesterday.
“I don’t want to fall into the hands of demons. Then I shouldn’t be carrying you. Is there anything else?”
[Seo Seo-han. Are you going to go out alone dangerously?]
“The words. Wouldn’t it be dangerous to leave you alone?”
They’re the ones who want me to have a holy sword in the first place, so there’s no point in attacking me without a holy sword. It’s too much damage to aim for a bounty even when the identity of Mine is discovered.
First of all, it’s not even naked.
There are plenty of weapons in the case, and I also have several types of magic.
To be honest, I wonder if it would be dangerous if the demons attacked me. You shouldn’t be vigilant, but you can search out enemies with the ‘Mine Hunter’ perk.
The only cases that were really dangerous so far were only the hired mercenaries who were presumed to have been sent by the top forces when they went out for a quest.
[Ugh…]
The Holy Sword looked angry, not knowing what to say.
“Then go.”
아무튼 이걸로 됐겠지. 나는 성검을 내버려 두고 숙소 밖으로 나갔다.
철컥. 그리고 문이 닫히자마자 다시 열어 숙소로 들어갔다. 성검은 내 모습을 보고 밝은 목소리로 외쳤다.
[앗. 역시 날 데려갈 건가?]
“깜박하고 디저트를 안 챙겼더라.”
[······.]
디저트랑 케이스. 이제 진짜 빼먹은 건 없겠지. 블랙 호크까지 좀 멀다 보니 나갔다 돌아오기엔 조금 힘들단 말이지.
슬슬 교문이 보일쯤에 갑자기 시스템이 떠올랐다.
[특전. 15 – ‘마음이 편안해지는 그녀’가 활성화됩니다.]
[샤론 카니스일의 호감도 상승폭 증가, 기분이 좋아집니다, ??]
어라. 이 근처에 있나?
나는 고개를 돌려 주변을 둘러봤다. 머지않아 탁탁하고 바닥을 뛰는 소리가 들렸다. 곧 아카데미의 주변을 달리며 이쪽으로 오고 있는 트레이닝 복 차림을 한 연한 갈색의 머리칼이 보인다.
달리기 위해서인지 평소에 풀어 헤친 머리를 꽁지머리로 묶은 상태였다. 카니스일 또한 나를 발견했는지 이쪽으로 달려오고 있었다. 가만히 서서 기다리고 있으니 근처에서 천천히 속도를 줄였다.
“안녕하세요, 선배님!”
카니스일이 땀에 흠뻑 젖은 얼굴로 고개를 숙이며 인사했다.
“선배님은 되게 자주 뵙는 것 같네요.”
It’s a smile that makes you feel better without even knowing it when you say it with a smile. Is it because it’s a dog image?
No, this must be a special effect. It’s an ordinary emotional change at a level where the ‘strong mind’ will not be activated.
This guy’s name is Sharon Canisil.
The 103rd tower, the last main heroine, and a character in a junior position. He must be a sophomore and meet the conditions for appearance.
Canisil with light brown hair is a little smaller than me. As you can see, he has a sad personality who works hard and sticks well to others.
“…But why are you so far away?”
Canisil was looking at me from a distance that was a little too far for me to have a conversation. At my question, Canis Ele patted her neck and smiled.
“Ah, I’m afraid it smells like sweat.”
“It’s natural, huh?”
Suddenly, Canisyl rolled her eyes.
“Do you like the smell of sweat?”
Being okay doesn’t mean it’s good. I asked Canisil, who was keeping his distance.
“More than that, how’s the class these days?”
I’m dying to say something I never said. If my classmates saw it, I might frown. Now, what do you say about managing your image as a warrior?
“Ahaha, that’s…”
He smiles with a habitual mischievous smile when he sees any problem. Still, do you know that you are at the top of the B-class based on pure ability? Isn’t his personality good?
Sharon Canisil’s personality is ‘Link.’
It is the ability to connect and transmit power between the awakened. At first, it is a personality that can only be used with one’s own power, but later on, as he grows up, he can transfer the power of others.
As you can see from the effect, it was like an ability to support Noah Park when she met a strong enemy.
I used it in a different way though.
“Tell me if you have any concerns. Because I can tell you.”
“…I can’t take my mind off of it.”
Galpiri. It was too broad a range of concerns, so I had no choice but to put on a questionable expression. Canisil added that he knew it too.
“…When I was in middle school, I vaguely followed the curriculum, but now that I am in high school, I think that it can’t be done. But I don’t know what to do first because everything is not enough. Ahaha.”
As I listened to Canisil’s concerns, I realized what I had missed.
‘By the way, this guy hasn’t seen Noah Park yet.’
Naturally, it is Park Noah who will be involved with Canisil. In particular, when ‘Top’s protection’ disappears, it is a form of leading as a senior who is a sophomore.
The troubles that Kanisil has right now must have been resolved in the first place. Seeing her untitled Noah Park at her high school entrance ceremony, she had a goal of wanting to be like her.
If you look at the feelings you had for Noah Park in the beginning, you can think of it as a yearning.
hmmm. How did you talk to this guy? It’s a simple problem, but that’s why it can’t be solved quickly.
‘Find someone to serve as a role model…’
If we leave it alone until Noah Park returns, early growth will be delayed. Moreover, it is unclear whether Canisil will be the same target when Noah Park returns.
Among the other guys who handle weapons, Oh Yun-seong is busy honing his spears personally, and Hong Jae-yu is…
He shook his head when he remembered his name. He’s not the type to teach, lest he know if he’s learning. The same goes for Yurin.
I was bruising without realizing it. Hmmm. I coughed and said the thought that just came to my mind.
“Then why don’t you try things that you haven’t tried before?”
“When I was in middle school, I was told that I only followed the curriculum. Then there will be a lot of things I haven’t done.”
The variety of untitled appearances shown by Noah Park made Kanisil yearn for him. If I touch the part that says to try several things, I wonder if it will work somehow now.
Above all, in my personal opinion, the more specific the advice, the worse it is. What I realized while coaching is that it is beneficial to the players in the long run to help them figure out the solution process themselves rather than the correct answer.
“Oh, yes! Thanks for the advice.”
nodded. Canisil bowed to the waist and thanked me. Did you say something like this?
“no. Until then, thank you so much.”
Rather, this one is disconcerting. Who does it look like it’s bothering you? Raising her head, Canis Il said, sweeping her bangs from her forehead to the side.
“That’s why Seo Ji-sun is a special class. Would you envy them if I told them I got advice?”
Having said that, Canisil was smiling again.
huh really
Without realizing it, I smiled at that smile. I mean, it’s really pretty. It is not for nothing that they are popular as a latecomer among the heroines.
crumble. As if possessed, I took out some of the desserts to give to Ryu Seo-yeon from the bag. Canisil’s eyes naturally turned to my hand as if he had been out for a workout.
“I’ll go in and eat this later. It was delicious.”
“Ugh···! I will enjoy this food!”
Canisil took the bag that I was handed over to him.
What is rice cake for an ugly person?
Basically, I want to give it to a pretty guy.
It’s natural to draw attention because you’re carrying a large case. He’s not wearing the Yuseong Academy uniform, but there’s no way he doesn’t know that he’s an Awakened.
I walked through the hallway and carefully knocked on the door of the hospital room.
잠시 기다려도 들려 온 대답이 없자 문을 열었다. 병실은 평소처럼 조용했다. 새로운 디퓨저를 꺼냈는지 저번에 맡지 못했던 좋은 향이 나고 있었다.
“나 왔어.”
병상에 누워있는 박노아는 전과 비교하면 훨씬 야위어진 얼굴로 눈을 감고 있었다. 아르웰도 피곤한지 수척해진 채 그 옆에서 고개를 묻고 자고 있었다. 피곤해서 아직 못 일어난 건가.
‘으음.’
시간을 확인하니 아직 여유는 있었다. 아르웰의 자세가 불편해 보이긴 하지만, 눕히려고 건드렸다간 곧장 깨버릴 것이다.
의자를 끌어다 앉아 잠시 기다렸다.
한 30분 정도 지났을까, 아르웰이 몸을 움찔 떨며 부스스한 얼굴로 고개를 들어 올렸다.
예전 같았으면 간호할 때 절대 졸지도 않은 녀석이었다. 지금 보이는 모습은 그때보다 긴장이 조금 풀린 건지, 아니면 다른 의미로 마음가짐이 바뀐 건지는 모르겠다.
내가 보기엔 이렇게 조금 풀어져 있는 게 더 좋아 보였지만.
“···서지한 님?”
두리번거리던 아르웰은 옆에 앉아있는 날 발견했다.
“잘 잤냐. 깰까 봐 눕히지는 않았어.”
“그냥 깨워주시지···.”
“그렇게 말할까 봐 안 깨웠어.”
어느 정도 아르웰이 잠에서 깬 것 같아 힐긋 뒤를 돌아봤다. 문은 닫혀 있으니 누가 들을 걱정은 없었다.
“최근에 누구 몰래 찾아온 사람은 있어?”
“있습니다. 그래도 에이든 님이 가문의 병력을 보내주신 덕에 문제는 발생하지 않았습니다.”
그 양복 입고 칼을 찬 남자 말인가. 분명 사냥개였지.
내가 오면서 만나지는 않았지만, 어디선가 이 문을 은밀히 감시하고 있을 것이다.
그보다 아직도 습격자라. 탑 세력은 여전히 박노아를 죽이든, 아니면 남아있는 박노아의 몸만 사용하든 어떻게든 써먹을 생각이 분명했다.
“그 사람들도 포기를 모르네.”
“그러게요. 좀 내버려 두지···.”
아르웰은 안쓰러운 표정으로 박노아의 얼굴을 바라봤다. 곤히 잠들어 있는지 새근거리는 숨소리가 들려왔다.
잠시 적막이 흐르자 나는 아르웰의 뒷모습을 바라보며 말했다.
“아르웰.”
“네, 서지한 님.”
“슬슬 결정을 내려야 할 것 같아.”
더 생각할 시간을 주고 싶지만, 하드 코어 난이도에는 여유가 없다.
“잠시만 나랑 파트너가 되자. 리안 아르웰.”
주인공이 돌아올 때까지 기다리는 시간마저.
“네 힘이 필요해.”
