68 – Namgung Mir (2)
Jump, bump, bump.
Currently, the four people were heading to the place where the person they called the ‘guild leader’ was located.
At the front, Kang Himchan and Ye Dongtak provide escort and directions.
Choi Si-woo and the orange-haired girl, Ryu Chae-hwa, walked side by side behind.
The girl had a small body, perhaps only 130 cm tall, and a youthful face.
Although she looks like a mischievous girl now, Choi Si-woo, who knows the girl’s future, kept seeing her as an adult in his mind.
“… Ah, so Ryu Chae-hwa was hired on some kind of special basis?”
“Yes, that’s right. The ‘unique ability’ I have is a very rare ability in detection and calculation… The guild leader himself recognized the possibility and suggested it. “I accepted it right away.”
“Then, is it possible to imitate the movements of those who have used weapons for a long time?”
Perhaps because it was an unexpected question, Ryu Chae-hwa blinked her eyes.
‘Umm… ‘ he crossed his arms and thought deeply, giving off a cuteness appropriate for that age group.
“Oh, I think it’s roughly possible. However, it is impossible to use swords and spears, which are commonly called weapons of geniuses and require a lot of skill and enlightenment.”
Ryu Chae-hwa spread both her fingers and counted them one by one.
“I see. Maybe… Ranged weapon. In particular, I think it would be the most skillful way to use firearms. Of course, you will need a specialist to watch and follow for a long time.”
“… Right… “I see.”
Choi Si-woo recalled Ryu Chae-hwa, who persistently followed her Ohana in the future.
When I thought about it, the timing was right.
There was a time when she couldn’t even resemble her Ohana in appearance, so she copied them almost exactly.
‘…… ‘
Her complex and subtle emotions made her mind cluttered.
The end of Ryu Chae-hwa flashes before the eyes of Choi Si-woo, who bows her head.
Ryu Chae-hwa looks at herself with her vain eyes.
I am reminded of her severed head, rolling around on the floor, and the look in her eyes as she watched her answer until the end.
While Choi Si-woo was suffering, Ryu Chae-hwa, who was wiggling her fingers, glanced at his profile.
‘Now, handsome.’
The girl took a deep breath inside herself, trying hard to hide her red face.
Anyone can see that she is a young girl.
However, she thought that Ryu Chae-hwa had a mental age comparable to that of most adults.
She is not just arrogant.
It is objective in the end.
This could be proven by the way she showed herself at the school she attended.
‘It’s all childish…’ ‘
Boys of the same age always fought with each other, claiming that each other was stronger, and girls only whispered about themselves as orphans.
Ryu Chae-hwa realized her abilities from a young age, and if she didn’t have a cute appearance, she would have definitely been an outcast.
‘I feel stupid…’ ‘
Having lived in this environment for several years, she naturally assumed that the level of children her age was low.
She wanted to come on and become an adult.
The laws of her society and her excessive protection were like shackles to her.
That’s why Ryu Chae-hwa found Choi Si-woo fascinating.
After investigating, I heard she was 17 years old… What on earth does that leisure mean?
She looked much more mature than the two large men walking ahead of her.
‘Awesome… ‘
Although there are advantages to her appearance… What should I say?
She felt an unknown loneliness from him.
‘I’m sure I’ve walked a difficult path.’
Ryu Chae-hwa could tell from an early age.
Tragic emotions such as loneliness and hurt contained in an expressionless expression.
All of that made the little girl’s heart pound.
I know it doesn’t make sense, but… She thought she wanted to protect him.
At that time, when she was feeling shy due to some unknown attraction, she heard a faint voice coming from in front of her.
When I turned around, Kang Himchan and Ye Dongtak were looking at Ryu Chaehwa.
“Hmm hahahaha~ you little guy! “You’re so quiet now that you’ve met your handsome oppa, aren’t you?”
“I agree. “She definitely looks like she’s that age, because she looks so shy.”
Ryu Chae-hwa became angry at the conversation between the two.
Her red face became as hot as a crimson, showing the shame of a young girl.
“Ah, guys! “What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“No, why are we uncles and this young fellow is oppa?”
“That’s right… “They call me uncle or uncle.”
Ryu Chae-hwa answered harshly and looked at Choi Si-woo once more.
She feels her heart pounding against his face as he looks down with puzzled eyes.
“Oh, brother… “I call him oppa because he’s my older brother.”
“Oh, that’s just discriminatory treatment.”
“I agree. Ryu Chae-hwa. Didn’t you say it from the beginning? “We are in our early 20s.”
“Then what do you do? “The face value is in the 30s.”
The two people, whose shoulders slumped at the girl’s last words, had a private conversation, asking, ‘Should we have a drink after today?’
Choi Si-woo, who was watching the three people bickering, felt confused for some reason.
‘… It was the same this time too.’
The only difference is that you are young.
The trio looked just like the ones they knew.
Choi Si-woo closed his eyes and silently moved his feet in accordance with the guidance.

10 Minutes later.
I flinched at the sudden change in the flow of magic power.
‘… Warp gate?’
The movement spell is activated just by crossing the room… Namgung Mir’s technical skills were greater than expected.
“Oh~ young friend. “I guess you noticed?”
“Yes. “It’s a great magic trick.”
“hahahaha. This kid made all of this? Of course, Namgung provided the materials.”
Choi Si-woo, who was startled by Kang Him-chan’s words, looked at Ryu Chae-hwa once again.
Her ability was truly remarkable in that she was able to design this level of technology.
‘Now that I think about it, she said she had been scouted here and there since she was young… ‘
The young girl, who was embarrassed by his gaze, screamed ‘Bwaek’.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Ryu Chae-hwa leads the way, shouting ‘Big!’
“Well, we’re all here.”
“… “Is the guild leader here?”
“Yes. “Stay inside.”
I can feel the clean air along with the chirping birdsong.
Choi Si-woo, who was looking at the tiled house built in front of him, calmly nodded his head.
As expected, it appears that he is in this place for recuperation.
‘To put it another way… ‘
That would mean that it is not mentally and physically normal.
Ryu Chae-hwa grabbed the doorknob she had installed and knocked lightly.
“Guild leader! We’ve brought you a guest! “This is the one you were talking about!”
Ryu Chae-hwa was puzzled by her quiet silence and shook her head.
Just as she was about to knock on her doorknob again.
Choi Si-woo ran out like lightning and held the girl in his arms.
“Wow, wow?!”
“Quiet.”
Kang Him-chan and Ye Dong-tak, who were surprised by Choi Si-woo’s actions, also realized his intention a beat later.
“What a punishment! “Get behind me young man!”
Immediately after Kang Himchan’s shout, an unusual energy seeped through the gap in the door.
Boom!
The strong wind blew and shattered the blocking threshold.
-Cooooo!-
A wind dragon made of dark green fluttered before my eyes.
Immediately, it showed deadly force and lunged at me with its mouth wide open.
Choi Si-woo put his hand on his waist.
With a flash of lightning, a straight sword strike cut through the wind dragon and ascended to the sky.
An exclamation of exclamation is heard from behind.
“… “I couldn’t see anything?”
“As expected, I was very grateful.”
I put aside the two people’s words and entered the room.
Come on!
The noise of chains crashing is heard.
In front of her, a woman with red eyes was radiating ferocious energy.
“Krrr… !”
A roaring sound like an animal.
Drops of saliva flowing between open teeth.
Even walking on all fours as if walking on all fours.
It looked as if he had rabies.
“… Long time no see.”
“Crap!”
Once again the woman rushed in.
Choi Si-woo turned his waist and lightly walked next to him.
I wonder if there is a reason.
She, who was consumed by her madness and went on a rampage, was no match for the current Choi Si-woo.
Kwaang-!
He grabbed her head and slammed it into the floor.
“aaah!!”
Despite the strong impact, I hurriedly searched her waist as she continued to scream.
A syringe with the words [Jegal Eunbyeol’s love!] Written on it was inserted into the back of the woman’s neck.
The injected liquid spreads like veins.
The woman, with her white eyes showing, was lying limp in Choi Si-woo’s arms.
A moment later, Ryu Chae-hwa came up behind her and swallowed her dry saliva.
The girl looked at the fainted woman and Choi Si-woo alternately, radiating a very small amount of magic power.
“… “What did you inject?”
There is a hint of interrogation.
Choi Si-woo smiled as if it was okay, but instead of answering, he took out another syringe and handed it to the girl.
“… This?”
“There is no need to explain in a painful way. “When it comes to Hwayang Ryu Chae’s abilities, I think she knows what they are.”
“Now, just a moment.”
Her blue magic spread faintly through the girl’s body.
It takes a moment to admire the talent shown at such a young age.
The girl’s eyes expanded to the point where they could no longer grow.
“W-what nonsense…” Who the hell made this? How-“
“-How… Mania. Is it also specialized in ‘dragon’s curse’? Are you saying that?”
“Yes, what the hell…” “
“Just wait a moment before that.”
Choi Si-woo took the woman in his arms and carefully moved her into the blanket.
Looking at her face whimpering in pain, I wiped away the cold sweat with my fingertips.
‘There was also green at this time.’
He quietly brushed her dark green-gray hair.
The woman had spotted scars that did not match her beautiful face.
That is-.
Her scar grows around her right eye little by little.
It looked like a small baby dragon curled up with her body.
‘Namgoongryun.’
A bitter smile was drawn on Choi Si-woo’s face as they met again.
* * *
“I see.”
Ryu Chae-hwa sat quietly and slowly nodded her head.
“Let’s deal from now on… “You mean that?”
“That’s right.”
Choi Si-woo took out a small case from his pocket and showed the contents.
Inside were dozens of syringes that had just been injected into Nam Gong-ryun.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t explain where this came from. I’m a friend who can make things like this quickly… “I think Ms. Ryu Chae-hwa knows what I mean.”
“As expected, I understand.”
Ryu Chae-hwa, who took a sip of tea, showed a spirit that made it hard to believe she was a young girl.
“Then what is written in the email… “Can you also tell us the source of the guild leader’s illness?”
“Yes, it’s difficult to explain. However, you can rest assured that there are no spies in the southern palace.”
“… Let me believe it. “Anyway, we don’t have any other solution.”
“I also want to ask you a few things.”
Choi Si-woo looked at Nam Gung-ryun, who had fainted.
A groan of pain is heard coming from the corner of the mouth.
“Are you the only one who knows about the guild leader’s condition?”
All members of the group agreed to Choi Si-woo’s question.
“Yes, there are those who doubt… “The only thing we know for sure is the three of us.”
“… If you have doubts… “
“Do you know the current power structure involved in our Namgung Mir?”
I shook my head.
Even if I had memories of my past life, I was not a person who was directly present at the scene.
“All I know is that Mr. Namgoong Ryun is the leader… “
It was the moment when Ryu Chae-hwa told her to open her mouth to explain.
Choi Si-woo, who turned his head to see his hardened gaze, noticed Nam Gung-ryun getting up with a tired expression.
“Guild leader!”

Ryu Chae-hwa approaches her and supports her.
“Chokkolok… “
Nangong Lun, who coughed violently, had a small amount of blood in his hand.
“… “Is that the one who sent the email?”
“Yes.”
“… Than you think… You’re young. “I guess it’s true that she’s 17.”
After sighing, Namgung Ryun lowered her head.
“I apologize for what happened earlier. Sorry… “Because I’m not in my right mind.”
“It’s okay. If the story is difficult to proceed, it can be done later-“
“-No.”
Namgung Ryun cut her off and gave her a serious look.
No matter how serious the injury was, I was inwardly impressed by the spirit of a leader of a large group called a teenage guild.
“I’ll explain what Ryu Chae-hwa wanted to say.”
Choi Si-woo nodded and listened silently to the following explanation.
