Ryu Seo-yeon (1)
Oh Yun-ha and Ryu Seo-yeon sat on the edge and talked. I watched the people passing by in front of me, but no one stood out.
“So, do you have any guesses?”
Ryu Seo-yeon said while sipping the canned drink she bought earlier.
“Well. I can only guess. It’s because I’ve been kidnapped a lot.”
He spit out shocking words. At those words, Yoon-ha Oh did not know what to say, and her brain stopped for a moment.
In fact, the reason Ryu Seo-yeon doesn’t have a friend was largely due to the trauma created by the past, such as kidnapping and intimidation. Most of the people who approached her in her childhood to buy her favors were gullible. even your peers.
Because of the burn, Ryu Seo-yeon always hit an iron wall and did not allow access within a certain line. As it continued from his academy middle school days, he eventually isolated himself.
“…it was like that before I started school, and I’ve never been like that since.”
He added something as if it wasn’t a big deal, but Oh Yoon-ha became more subtle.
‘Isn’t it supposed to have never been in the first place…?’
Oh Yoon-ha asked, crossing her legs.
“But what are the bodyguards doing?”
“At that time, Black Hawk was in the midst of failure or not, so I didn’t have time to worry about it that much.”
“…that’s right, I’ll do it.”
I’m talking about when my parents died.
I saw on the Internet that the successor sister was so young that she almost lost the company her parents had built in the name of guardianship to her relatives.
“But it’s probably T.O. Corporation.”
“Uh. I think I’ve heard of it.”
It is a new military company that has followed Black Hawk, the undisputed number one in name and reality. He was growing day by day thanks to the peculiarity of making weapons using the mysterious metals coming out of the tower, whether he made a pact with any wizards.
“…but it’s a bit harsh to say this, but isn’t it too risky compared to the benefits?”
“Of course, I would do it using subcontractors… But, at the risk of being caught, what would I do with kidnapping you? You can’t swallow a Black Hawk as a ransom.”
“Maybe it’s possible.”
“···how?”
“There are two.”
Ryu Seo-yeon tapped her head.
“First of all, it contains an astronomical amount of technology.”
Next, he chuckled at himself with his thumb.
“Because I have priority over Black Hawk.”
“…and even send a bodyguard.”
At those words, Seo-yeon Ryu firmly shook her head.
“It’s not okay. I’ve already lost my image because I’m dropping out, but it’s even worse if I bring a bodyguard inside the academy.”
“Ummm… I don’t know.”
image. Would that be more important than safety? Oh Yoon-ha bent her back and rested her chin on her leg. She frowned and seemed to think about something for a moment, and then she looked at Ryu Seo-yeon with a cheerful expression on her face.
“Okay, I’ve decided! Then I’ll escort you for five days.”
“Is there a reason between friends?”
Ryu Seo-yeon could not even refuse to answer so quickly that she kept her mouth shut. Whoa! At that time, Yoon-ha Oh’s cell phone vibrated and she answered the call.
“Uh, Yurin. When are you coming?”
Oh Yoon-ha looked at Ryu Seo-yeon next to him and said.
“I can’t go because of work, so I’ll take care of it. Well done.”
[-hey!!!]
Yurin’s raised voice was heard over the phone, but Oh Yunha turned off the phone. She vibrated again, but she ignored it. She said as she stood up from her seat and looked behind her.
“Instead, you have to buy everything you ask for at the sports festival as a bodyguard? I didn’t get any pocket money because I didn’t go to my hometown this time.”
In the end, Ryu Seo-yeon smiled a little and nodded her head.
“Yeah. Should I buy everything on this street first?”
“···Huh? No, not even that much….”
The distribution is very disconcerting.
I came to the student council room because I thought I needed to talk in a place where there were no people. Astiel and Albain sat opposite me, and Arwell sat next to me. I’m waiting because Chae Yu-ah said that he would bring tea to drink while chatting.
“Congratulations on getting 1st place, it’s overwhelming, isn’t it?”
“Oh, that’s right. Jihan-ah, congratulations.”
Arwell mechanically clapped next to him, and the others followed. …because it’s the atmosphere, it seems like they’re making fun of me.
It’s more of a confinement. Where did Arwell hear that? He’d be well-founded if he saw what he said confidently unlike usual.
I glanced at the saint. But because he was wearing sunglasses, he couldn’t tell what kind of expression he was making now.
‘Still, the temple will not use such coercive means.’
He told me that the Butterfly Effect is also awe-inspiring to me. Besides, the temple is not a force that pretends to be clean in front and uses dark means from behind.
It was a small twist in the original. Hopefully, it must be a really good force.
“What is that? You got it as an injury?”
Astiel pointed to the first prize of the shooting system I was fiddling with in my hand. His palm was spread out so that the blue stone could be seen clearly.
“It’s a magic stone.”
Although mana potions are a means of restoring mana, they only promote recovery, so the more you drink, the more the effect decreases sharply. However, this manastone is a type of artifact that normally deposits my mana, so if necessary, it can be taken out and used at any time.
‘…to be honest, I can’t say it’s that good.’
As long as I have magic that costs a lot of mana, it will be useful. But in an unpopular sport like the shooting system, injuries are also a concern.
However, other things overlap with time and it is not certain to win 1st place.
“Drink this and talk.”
At that moment, Chae Yu-ah turned the hot steaming car.
Arwell nodded and took the cup, then blows his breath to cool it down and sips carefully. I looked at it and asked.
“So what do you mean kidnapping?”
After taking a sip, Arwell put the glass down. She glanced at the saint who was sitting in front of her, and opened her mouth more than her gaze.
“He, by some chance, I overheard you. The story of asking Seo Ji-han to be imprisoned in the temple…”
“Hmm. Really?”
Well, I must have misunderstood. I looked at Albain without thinking. But for some reason, the glass that the saint of the prophetess had lifted was trembling.
Eventually, Albain put down the glass with a rattling sound.
“…it’s not like it’s a confinement! We were just going to recruit him as a paladin.”
“A paladin?”
no. But are you saying that Arwell is right? I reflexively looked at Astiel.
“I wonder if the reason I asked you to join the student council was…”
Astiel shook his head in embarrassment at my narrowed gaze.
“Don’t get me wrong. That’s different! I don’t care!”
“That’s right. That’s the benefit of Astiel’s personal feelings?!”
Astiel, whose ears became red, pinched Albain’s side, the saint who had been interrupted in a hurry screamed and flinched. …is it okay to do that to a saint?
uhh I sighed.
“By the way, what would it be hiding… I just said that, okay? If you refused, would you really be imprisoned?”
Fortunately, perhaps it wasn’t, Albain raised his sunglasses and protested as if unfairly.
“It’s not true! Me too, the shrine respects Seo Ji-han to the end. Where the hell did you hear that?!”
The saint put her face to Arwell. Arwell bowed her head, trying to avoid her gaze, and he looked at her saint as if not to lie.
“I heard a conversation between Arthur Gran and Ryu Seo-yeon, an aspiring hero.”
“Um? Sir Arthur? Ryu Seo-yeon?”
“…don’t pretend you don’t know.”
“No. I really don’t know. When I asked Seo Ji-han to be a paladin, I was only telling Astiel…”
“It was Ryu Seo-yeon aspiring hero who brought up the story of confinement.”
At the unexpected name, the saint touched her chin and retraced her memory.
“Ryu Seo-yeon…, Ryu Seo-yeon. You mean the heir to Black Hawk? That person has nothing to do with him. Why is he suddenly…?”
“I heard the two of them talking at the cafe. Instead of increasing the donation, I ask that Seo Ji-han be imprisoned.”
The saint didn’t know anything about it, and it was rather me who flinched at the conversation.
Ryu Seo-yeon. ···Even so, did you hate me that much just because you lowered the price? You’re going to pay a donation, so you’re asking me to lock you up in the temple?
‘no···. Cancer, but that’s probably not the case.’
I couldn’t help but think that there was some misunderstanding. I wonder if there is a story Arwell hasn’t heard of.
“Did you hear that at the part-time job?”
“That’s right.”
“Um, let’s move on to this for now. You can ask the original owners later.”
It must be difficult to compete with whether you are right or what I am saying here. I said looking at Albain.
“More than that, can you tell me more about the recruitment? I’m interested in it.”
After that, the saint took a deep breath and looked around.
“Then, I’m sorry, can you all leave for a while? Astiel too.”
Soon, everyone but Albain and I went out of the student council room.
After all others had been driven out, the saint took off her sunglasses and put them on the table. She looks at me with slender eyes that don’t know what she’s thinking.
Albain coughed and started talking.
“Hmm. I heard that you lost your memory, but I heard everything about that time from the Holy Sword. They say that they amplified the power of the Holy Sword… Is there anything you point out?”
“Ummm. I don’t know about that part.”
“…Then how did you survive? The Holy Sword said, “Even after being hit with the highest level magic called [Explosion], he got up again. Don’t you remember that part too?”
When I did not answer, the saint made an unwilling expression on her face.
“I’m sorry that I’m asking. But we really need Seo Ji-han’s help from our temple side as well.”
“My help?”
“Yes. I’m thinking of making a new relic. Sir Arthur said that Arihan Hector made the relic by purifying Liu. I was planning to borrow the power of Seo Ji-han and do the same with the ego sword, which was once a holy sword, on that piece. .”
for a moment. convenient? I asked with a hopeful face.
“You took all that black liquid to the temple without purifying it?”
“Yes, but only a few.”
“…do you really have to leave something like that in the back?”
It’s always official that things like that run out and crash.
I can already imagine Riyu’s body, which had already run rampant inside the temple. Could it be that an infected temple was created like the game that was once popular…?
Knowing what I was worried about, the saint smiled as if reassured.
“Oh, don’t worry. It’s just a fragment now. You’ve already destroyed the deity of Riyu. As evidence of that, Riyu’s power to revive a corpse has disappeared, so I think it’s just a material with a different kind of divine power. You can do it.”
“Those who said that…”
uhh The more confident I am, the more anxious I am.
“Come to think of it, there are parts of me that can only guess roughly how he survived.”
“What? What is that unknown power?!”
Albain put his hand on the table and pushed his face into it. Hmmm. I coughed and opened his mouth.
“Equipment.”
“I was wearing good gear at the time. I did it with the suit that Black Hawk supported and my priest’s armor.”
The saint’s eyes drooped down as if bewildered by the unexpected words.
“The holy sword was raised by an unknown power…”
“Can I trust you? Even if I lost the process, I vaguely remember that the Holy Sword kept screaming in my head. I don’t think it was a normal ego sword.”
“👌”
Judging from the usual attitude of the Holy Sword, the credibility of what he said will be greatly reduced. The saint put her hand to her cheek and she drooled.
“That… it is. It’s an old ego sword, so such cutting-edge equipment may seem like an unknown power…”
“Isn’t that right? Maybe it’s because I took down Arihan Hector just because he looked after him. To be honest, if you ask me to do it again like I did back then, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do it.”
“…But that doesn’t change the fact that you defeated the beautiful Hector and wielded the Holy Sword.”
I wondered if even a saint could not give up, so I went back to where I was and put my hands on my legs. Albain, with his back straight, said seriously.
“Then let me be straight-forward. Seo Ji-han. How about being a member of our temple?”
“I don’t know how you handled the Holy Sword, but how do I make a Relic? It will only disappoint you.”
“No. Except for that, it is true that you survived the battle against the beautiful Hector. We lost the Holy Sword and need new forces.”
“I understand you are unwilling, but we can give you what you need.”
“Do you mean what you need?”
Finally, I’m going to tell you a story that appeals to me.
As I looked at the saint with the eyes I expected, she pointed at her head with a meaningful face.
“It’s the ‘memory’ I lost.”
“I don’t need it.”
I thought you were lending me other relics. That’s called negotiation.
Then, perhaps astonished by my determined attitude, the saint raised her hand awkwardly and explained it to me again.
“Ki, memories? The one you lost…”
“Ah. It’s not good for me, it’s good for the temple, isn’t it. Are you trying to restore what happened back then?”
“No. Not only those memories, but all the memories I’ve had so far…!”
“profit?!”
Albain seemed to be trying to change my mind, but my heart had already left. I don’t know if I’d rather pay the price for saving my life, but the temple to buy my favor doesn’t ask me to offer it in return.
‘Um, remember.’
I’m honestly curious.
Sometimes, when I lost consciousness, memories that I felt belonged to Seo Ji-han would come to mind in fragments. But anyway, it’s just curiosity.
There is currently no time to worry about side stories that you are not interested in.
I drank the cold tea and got up from my seat.
“Then Saint. Thank you for the suggestion. You saved my life. It would be nice if I could repay the favor with something else.”
“Ah… Now, wait a minute!”
When she turned around and tried to leave the seat, the saint also stood up. And soon I stopped walking.
“Oh. Have you ever changed your mind?”
Albain’s voice came from behind, but it didn’t stop him.
Perhaps that much time has passed, or the next chain quest, the ‘Tower’ quest, came up in front of my eyes.
the problem is···.
[Quest: ‘Tower’ (2)]
[Conditions: survival of ‘Noah Park’, survival of ‘Seo-yeon Ryu’, completion of the chain quest]
[Reward: ‘Tower’ (3) progress]
It is said that Ryu Seo-yeon was mentioned.
