135 – Cleaning up afterward.
―Okay, what was that just now?
―Isn’t that what the Empress did?
―My, the Ruri Ruri I know doesn’t have this great skill…
―Lu, if I call you Ruri Ruri, you’ll get angry.
―Did you buy it?
I can hear the murmurings of the surviving heroes and villains in my ears.
Choi Si-woo slowly opens his sword.
The Empress, who was watching him blankly, thought.
‘… Mask.’
Beyond the extreme, it’s a level of detachment.
This kid in front of me, no, the swordsman has succeeded in taking a step into the ranks of gods.
It wasn’t complete, but the difference between those who set foot there and those who didn’t was clear.
At that moment, the Empress realized one thing and was startled.
‘… ‘I don’t feel any energy.’
She had only a vague idea until she fought him just before.
Now it can’t even be detected.
Proof that the wall has definitely been overcome.
Proof that he has definitely ascended.
Probably… She is proof that she has opened doors to places she could not reach.
Gulp-.
The Empress swallowed her dry saliva.
The worst assumptions run through her head.
She depicts herself responding but failing.
She had to move.
But she couldn’t move.
If he makes up his mind, she cannot stop him.
If that happens, her subordinates… And Yubin… You will die.
‘What should I do…? ‘
Should we focus on defense as much as possible? ?
Ha, but that kind of thing can’t work with someone like that.
“What are you doing?”
“…Huh?”
Choi Si-woo turned his head and looked at the Empress with puzzled eyes, as if asking if she was still there.
The Empress of Grafting gives a dumbfounded look at the answer.
“Hurry up and take care of your men and run away. If we stay like this, we’ll both be in trouble, right?”
“……”
The silent Empress first spread out the vines.
She began to take care of each and every one of her subordinates who were hiding or fainting as the vines spread out like snakes.
“…Have you reached your power?”
Then, I looked at the ‘black’ energy wrapped around Choi Si-woo’s blade.
“I haven’t reached it. I just got a feel for it. But now I think I can pull out a little bit if I want.”
“…It’s a monster.”
Choi Si-woo shrugged his shoulders at the Empress’s words.
“So…Why are you letting us go? You can do whatever you want-“
“-That’s it. After all, we are comrades who fought together, right?”
The Empress made a bewildered expression in response.
It’s natural for her, but I don’t let her go for that reason.
The actual intention was different.
‘The Empress of Grafting is a necessary evil.’
If we kill the Empress and all of her subordinates here, the northeast and northwest regions, which are under extraterritorial jurisdiction, will immediately turn into a crucible of chaos.
The beginning of endless war and conflict will begin.
Those who say they need some strength will gather one by one, clench their fists and struggle to climb up.
There will undoubtedly be a lot of blood shed.
‘You can’t do that.’
Even if they are called villains, they are definitely powerful.
These are talented people who will fight against the demon god that will come in the near future.
Therefore, there was a need for someone to suppress and rule over them.
“Just don’t create a mine.”
In response to Choi Si-woo’s answer, the Empress pouted.
“I really don’t like it because it feels like I’m being saved, but… I’ll accept the favor gratefully.”
Lastly, the Empress takes care of Yubin, who has fainted.
She looked worried as she gently stroked his face.
“Take it.”
Choi Si-woo, who was watching, handed over a contract created with the power of .
“If you bring it to your daughter, she will take care of it. I will come to you once she is somewhat stable.”
“……”
The Empress, who made no reply, quietly waved her hand.
Ujikkeun-!
The remaining tree roots come together and create her transition gate.
“…I will definitely repay the favor I received today.”
“That’s it. Ah, when I get married to Instructor Yubin later, I’ll send you a wedding invitation then-“
“-Ew! Don’t say anything weird!”
Wow, you are such a cute empress.

The Empress, who was stomping her feet, looked at Choi Si-woo blankly for a moment.
“…Thank you.”
He hesitated to express his gratitude and disappeared in an instant.
Choi Si-woo watched until the end.
She sensed a familiar figure approaching.
“…Can I leave you like that?”
When she looked behind her, there was a girl standing there with her blood covered all over her body.
A tingling electric current ran through her whole body, and her hair fluttered like the mane of a lion.
“It’s okay.”
Choi Si-woo walked away and wiped his daughter’s face with the handkerchief in her arms.
A cute scream like ‘Muaaa~ Muaaa~’ comes out.
“Mungat… She is a dangerous woman. Wouldn’t it be more right to chase after her and eliminate her even now?”
“Don’t you know, Master? The danger is approaching in this world to the extent that it will be difficult to withstand even the slightest disruption.”
Lastly, the wounds on the young woman’s body are treated thoroughly.
“And…I don’t want to spill my master’s blood anymore.”
At those words, Cecilia looked at me as if I was dumbfounded.
“What kind of nonsense are you saying when you work hard all the time!”
“Ahahahaha, please skip it.”
Cecilia sighed as if she had no choice.
When she nods her head, the electric current flowing through her entire body disappears in an instant.
“…Seoulreumu. You’ve surpassed it.”
“Yes, this is my answer in its own way.”
“… What a wonderful thing… After giving up on teaching, you finally followed my will in your own way.”
Cecilia blushed as if she was proud.
Soon, she says ‘Ah!’ And continues her sentence briefly.
“So…What is the name of that proud technology?”
Hmm, it’s a name.
[This is an unrecorded skill.]
[Name the technology… ]
▶Master. It’s not possible. Please. Please no. No!
She overheard Kay’s urgent shouting and proudly spread her shoulders.
She thought to herself, this is a really sensible technical name.
“Heart pounding, and tingling.”
“…Eh…What?”
“The technology that combines them. That’s it…”
I look at Cecilia with a serious expression.
“It’s a Heartbeat.”
“……”
▶……
Tiring-.
[Heartbeat (EX) is recorded.]
*
A few days have passed since the incident.
Choi Si-woo, who was sitting on a chair, put down the tea he was drinking and looked around.
A facility that sparkles with silver light.
Even the faint smell of oil.
I could tell it was a research lab somewhere.
‘Whoa…’ ‘
Choi Si-woo leaned against his body and thought.
It was really difficult to clean things up.
It sounds like it was difficult to let go of work, but…
‘Umm… ‘
The reality was a little different.
Well, it’s no different from the fact that it was difficult to deal with it.
It was a bit of a problem that the subject was a person.
Choi Si-woo took another sip of tea and briefly recalled the incident.
*
“Hey, gisaeng brother.”
Choi Si-woo, who had a bump after being beaten by Cecilia, turned around when he heard the voice.
The party leader was standing with his arm hanging limply, as if his shoulder had been seriously injured.
After watching in silence for a moment, he put his arm on Choi Si-woo’s shoulder with a deep smile on his lips.
“You kid…Are you hitting me a little?”
A party sign that suddenly shows friendliness.
Choi Si-Woo wonders, ‘Is this really the kind of personality you have? ‘ I thought as I glanced at the wound on his shoulder.
“…Are you okay? Don’t you need to show it to the prepared medical team right away?”
It was quite a sincere concern.
No matter what, he was also a comrade who fought alongside me.
“That’s it! This is the level where it gets better with acupuncture.”
“Your wife would like to say something.”
“At that time, it was just a matter of getting hit by a few hits.”
The party leader smiled brightly and looked Choi Si-woo up and down.
Immediately he makes a disapproving expression and gives me a strong slap on the back.
“Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?”
“He’s so sloppy…Huh? Why doesn’t the boy have so much muscle?”
No, I’m not a bulky muscle pig like you.
When I looked at him as if I was dumbfounded, the party leader took something out of his pocket.
It was a protein drink with the phrase “To the Lord in one sip!” Written on it.
“Drink it! This is a product made by our company.”
“…Thank you.”
Even during the fight, it somehow doesn’t explode.
I was already a little thirsty, but it worked out well.
Take a sip.
“So what? Can you take responsibility for my daughter?”
Cough, gasp!
Choi Si-woo coughed at the unexpected words and looked at the party sign with a shocked expression.
“…Suddenly?”
“What is so sudden? Are you going to trick my daughter and then just shut her mouth and leave her alone?”
“I think there’s a misunderstanding… I have no relationship with Senior Danmari.”
To begin with, she is a woman I have no connection with other than occasionally running into her in the hallway.
I swear there was no such flirtation at all.
“Everyone says that. I was just like you. I had no relationship with my current wife, but at some point we were in bed together.”
The party’s statement became somber ‘And he didn’t return home…’ ‘Even now,’ he muttered to himself.
After that, ‘Come back after training your muscles. The absurd statement, ‘I’m teaching my daughter to take bridal classes.’ Was the last statement of the party.
*
After that… Someone else came.
▶This is Namgung Mir. Master.
Ah, that’s right. It was like that.
*
Ye Dong-tak and Kang Him-chan were injured but not seriously.
“Oh, so you’re now a middle school student?”
“Mhahahahaha! He’s always complaining that he’s not a child.”
“He liked the school uniform because it was pretty.”
It was a time when we expressed our gratitude to the two people who fought hard and talked about the current situation of ‘Ryu Chae-hwa’ for the first time in a long time.
“Hey, little brother.”
Kang Himchan, who was looking at the corner, tapped his shoulder, and when he turned his gaze toward the direction pointed to, there was Namgoongryun curled up in a crouch.
“……”
Namgoong Ryun, who was just watching her through the wall, was startled when Choi Si-woo and her eyes met.
“Wahahahahaha! Guild leader, you worked hard?”
“That’s right, Siwoo. Please praise me.”
Choi Si-woo smiled bitterly at the conversation between the two and walked towards Namgung-ryun.
The closer he got, the more he wandered, not knowing what to do, but he did not run away.
“…Thank you, guild leader.”
“Who, who…”
“Yes, Sister Namgoongryun.”
“…Ugh.”
In response, Nam Gung-ryun just smiled and smiled.
Then, Namgoong Ryun cleared her throat as she belatedly came to her senses.
“Oh, can’t you forget what happened today? I fought really hard.”
As if these were not empty words, Nangongryun’s body was full of wounds all over.
Seeing that her remaining mana is almost at an all-clear is proof that she fought really fiercely.
“Yes, thank you. I’ll pay you back several times later.”
“Now!”
“…Yes?”
Keep your fists tight! Jun Nangong Ryun pushed her face right in front of her nose.
Emerald-shaped eyes shone brightly.
“Ji, now… Hug me, and repay me with a hug.”
“…No, later…I barely did that in the first place-“
“-Do it, do it!”
Did you hear anything from anyone?
Even though Namgoong Ryun is a grown adult, he cries out like a child.
Choi Si-woo shrugged her shoulders as if he couldn’t help her and gently hugged her.
“…hehehehe.”
You can hear the sound of laughter, as if you are happy.
It would have been nice if it ended right here…
‘… After that, there was a problem.’
Wow!
Suddenly, another person was hugged behind Choi Si-woo.
I don’t know when she appeared, but Seol Garam was pouting as if he didn’t like her.
“…Go, Garam?”
“……”
Namgoongryun was also embarrassed.
“Who are you?”
“Who is that lady?”
“Oh, lady?!”
From this point on, the situation became strange.
It was foolish even to think about the funds.
She should have run away right away……
“Hey, Choi Si-woo.”
“…!”
I was shocked.
Yuen Jaun was glaring at her, filled with anger as she had been here for some time.
“…Good luck? We fought hard…But you’re playing with a woman, right?”
“No… Yuen. It’s not like that. This is just a thank you…”
As a bonus, Jegal Eun-byeol makes a fuky fuky look as if it looks good.
“We, Mr. Yun. Ju, shall I kill you?”
“Oh my, as expected, as the new owner of Shanhaigyeong, we get along well.”
“Yeah, really?”
“Hey, wait a minute, wait…Stop!”
*
Umm……
Well, that’s how it happened.
▶I had a hard time running away.
Anyway, I got through the fair safely.
Oh, as a side note, Ichimaru Ken, who had fallen on a pile of elder vampire corpses, was also safely recovered.
He somehow didn’t die.
He was truly a tough guy.
―Ugh, ugh… Please, just kill me.
―Yes, no.
―Kk, kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Since a forced order has been issued, all of the association’s leading executives will gather in Korea in the near future.
However, there are a few days left until then, so I am here now.
“Benefactor?”
Just then, a voice is heard ending the reminiscence.
Choi Si-woo raised his gaze.
There was a black-haired woman standing there looking at me as if something was wrong.
Arien Mulach.
The young president of ROUGE.
This was her second encounter with her.
