chapter 16
16 – Let’s flap our wings and fly up there (3)
“Then it’s late at night and I have an appointment, so let’s stop going?”
“…… Okay.”
Han Si-yeon stared at Han Si-wu with a sullen expression, then reluctantly nodded her head.
Then Siwoo Han immediately got up from his seat and disappeared.
“Anyway, this guy is no help.”
I was annoyed because I could clearly see the thought of falling as quickly as possible before the sparks flew.
Siyeon Han, who grumbled like that, went into a cafe and ordered a cake to take a break and soothe her mood.
But she didn’t think eating the cake would make her feel better.
No, on the contrary, as time went on, the whole world just felt more irritating.
‘I’ve never been this irritable when I had my period.’
Padudeuk-
“This is all because of him.”
Siyeon Han muttered as she gnashed her teeth.
After her entrance ceremony, Han Shi-yeon ran nonstop from place to place in the circle to catch her culprit for kicking her own face.
But until now, she has not been able to find out the identity of the culprit, and she has not been able to catch even his traces.
Even today, Siwoo Han, who was resting in his room, was forcibly dragged.
“Well, it’s a clue, and all I have is short letters written crookedly on stones…… “
She looked at the picture of the stone on the screen of Han Si-yeon’s device with the words “Her surprise test” Written on it.
Han Shi-yeon, who was staring at her picture like that, had a snowball fight, but she immediately frowned at her.
‘Who knows how to give up? I’ll never give up until I pay back a hundredfold for what I’ve suffered?!’
Han Shi-yeon took her heart and nervously put her hand in her pocket.
“Huh?”
At that moment, Han Shi-yeon felt that she had something of her own in her pocket, so she took it out and checked it.
“A note? Since when has this been in my pocket?”
Han Si-yeon was puzzled and carefully opened her note.
Then she saw that the letters in her handwriting that she had been searching for so long were written in her own big letters, as if teasing her.
Han Si-yeon opened her eyes wide and quickly checked the contents of her note.
‘Quest Room? 1234? What is this?’
She was lost in thought for a while, but when Han Si-yeon realized something about her, she hurriedly took out her device.
Then she entered the chat app and searched for a quest room, and a secret chat room appeared.
‘Password is 1234…… Done!’
The moment she entered the chat room, her device rang softly.
Ghost: I noticed the note later than expected. Had I known this, I would have put it in her trouser pocket instead of her coat pocket?
Han Shi-yeon stared blankly at the screen in delight at the fact that she finally caught the tail of the guy she had been looking for until now, and belatedly moved her finger.
Cute Tygan: Hey, is that you?
Cute Tygan: Kicking my face at the entrance ceremony.
She only realized that she had set her nickname to private because of her excitement, and that she hadn’t changed it until she sent her a message.
In response, Han Shi-yeon blushed and quickly changed her nickname to ‘Swordsman’.
Ghost: Oh, that’s me.
Ghost: But could that be the only reason you’ve been looking for me all this time?
Ghost: Are you narrower than you think?
“…… What?”
Siyeon Han read the message and a small vein appeared on her forehead.
Kukuk-
At the same time, the fork in her hand bent at a right angle, unable to overcome the force of her thumb.
‘But how did this guy know that I was looking for him?’
She thought about it for a while, and then she tapped the typewriter.
Swordsman: But how did you know I was after you?
Swordsman: Did you investigate my background?
Ghost: What, didn’t you know?
Ghost: There were rumors all over the circle?
Ghost: You go around frowning and looking for something.
Ghost: (Fox tilting his head while eating a donut)
It was a question I asked while nervous, but when I looked it up, it wasn’t a big deal to the point of futility.
‘No, this isn’t important right now.’
Swordsman: Oh, that’s it.
Swordsman: You jump right where I’m talking.
Ghost: It’s strange to talk.
Ghost: Please come out~
Ghost: I should say politely.
Ghost: Well, I don’t intend to leave just because of that.
I don’t know about the others, but I knew one thing for sure.
This guy was really, really annoying.
Swordsman: Come out.
Swordsman: Shut up and come out if you don’t want to find out.
Swordsman: For now, I’ll end it with just kicking you in the face a hundredfold.
Ghost: You call that persuasion now?
Ghost: No, aside from that, how?
Ghost: You are weak.
Ghost: I heard your skills are lame?
Pajik-!
“This crazy bastard?”
Han Si-yeon’s beautiful face was distorted like a bloody murder.
The fork in her hand was more than half folded, like the waist of someone from the future.
“Oh, brother. Shall we stop?”
“Yes, yes. That would be good.”
“The world gets in the way of my contemplation.”
“I didn’t turn off the gas light and came out~”
“Jojo! This is my escape route!”
The spirit of such a hansiyeon was so bloody that the people in her cafe got scared and left slowly.
The owner of the cafe couldn’t say anything because he was scared even when he saw it, and he only rolled his feet while crying.
Tadadak-
For your reference, Han Shi-yeon, whose eyes are half gone, she couldn’t even pay attention to such things and was pouring out curses in her chat room.
“Hey!”
The boss, who mustered up her courage to approach Han Shi-yeon, heard Han Si-yeon knocking on her typewriter and muttered a feast of nutmeg letters, and her face turned pale and went back the way she came.

“Looks like you got caught better than I thought.”
Seeing that her device continued to ring even after washing, she nodded in satisfaction.
“If this is the case, there will be no problem in proceeding with the plan.”
For the past four days, I have worked so hard that I woke up every morning with a wake-up call from the grim reaper calling my name twice.
At the same time, there was one thing I was constantly thinking about, and that was how to make the main character’s group stronger.
‘No, to be precise, how can I make those guys move according to my will?’
Well, it’s not important, so let’s move on.
Anyway, after thinking over and over again, I was able to come up with some ideas.
For reference, there was no option to meet and talk in person while pretending to be weak among the methods I came up with.
If I was going to handle things that way, I wouldn’t even think about hiding my identity in the first place.
‘Namjoo was the first to come up with a way.’
To be honest, I didn’t even have to do anything about this.
Because he was a guy with a very overflowing sense of justice, he was the guy who would move and become stronger once a big incident happened.
‘If I make him intertwined with Erio through the incident, I’ll be able to move as I want from then on.’
So I mainly thought about how to move Han Si-yeon instead of Han Si-woo.
If Han Si-woo is a spark-like heroine who is a little behind the times, Han Si-yeon is an ice-like heroine who has followed the times a little.
Perhaps that’s why she tended to seek her own gains, and because of that, she didn’t try to intervene as actively as Han Si-wu did in any event.
‘The way I thought of it was to scratch my pride by provoking that I was weak…… It worked better than I thought.’
It was very simple to approach using the drop kick I accidentally did on the day of the entrance ceremony as a stepping stone.
‘I never thought I’d use my mistakes like this.’
It was a very exquisite coincidence.
Ghost: If you’re that confident in your skills, try clearing one of the dungeons I’m telling you over the weekend by yourself.
Swordsman: What, clear the dungeon?
Ghost: Alright, then I’ll lift you from dog sh*t to sh*t.
Ghost: Depending on the situation, I might meet you.
Swordsman: …… Is it real
Okay, bit the bait.
Swordsman: Remember those words.
Ghost: Yes, I take plenty of potions when I go to dungeons.
‘Hmm, but is that a bit excessive?’
As I laid down on the bed, I suddenly had that thought.
She remembered fighting at the entrance ceremony, so she recommended ‘Lair of Fierce Tigers’, but when I thought about it, that dungeon was a bit difficult even by the standards of old figures.
‘You’re not overdoing it without a potion just because I provoked you, right? Then I could really die.’
I was anxious for nothing, so I hurriedly added a message.
Ghost: I warned you, don’t underestimate the dungeon.
Ghost: It’s a dungeon that’s above your level right now, so prepare for the challenge.
Swordsman: What do you think you know about my skills?
‘It’s good that you contacted me.’
I was just wondering, but judging from what he said, it seems that he intended to rush into the dungeon.
Ghost: You don’t know when I approached you and gave you a note?
Ghost: If you don’t know that, it’s your skill.
At my words, Siyeon Han didn’t say anything and was silent.
Actually, what I just said was a scam.
Let’s go back for a moment to Darcy’s evaluation of my skills.
At the time, Darcy struggled to find where I was.
Then is it because Darcy is dull?
No, after years of hunting in the field, Darcy’s senses are sensitive enough to surpass even a fair amount of beasts.
So, because I’m a genius with great stealth abilities?
No, geniuses are rather different.
Since she was born, she has had seven-star attributes.
On the other hand, I am a dull person who can only barely hide himself even if I use my two characteristics.
However, ironically, the reason I was able to fool her senses and get out of her consciousness was because I was weak enough to sigh.
‘A giant doesn’t feel the ant beneath her feet.’
The reason why I was able to not get caught in Si-yeon Han’s senses today was because her senses were so weak that I didn’t feel threatened.
‘But he doesn’t know that, and he must think I’m so strong that I’m hiding my identity.’
That meant there was no way I could know even if I was bluffing like this.
Ghost: If you want to catch me, survive and become stronger.
I turned off the device after giving it one final scare.
Now that I’ve said that much, I’m going to challenge the dungeon with sufficient preparation.
‘Originally, I was planning on giving Erio some work like this, too.’
But Erio refused my offer, saying he wanted to train in a clear state.
‘Still, I told you the location of the dungeon as a reward for lending me the bag, so I’ll go there if I get bored while training.’
I was a little worried about Siwoo Han as we were taking care of only the two of us like this.
But now it was right to do this.
That guy seems to have contained the clichés of the past, so he had to experience a deep sense of helplessness before he could wake up and grow bigger and fly.
‘It won’t be long before the incident happens, so it’ll be okay.’
Sug-
With that thought in mind, I quietly pulled up the futon.
They’re not the only ones who have to keep busy during the weekend.
I also had to move busier than that, just like the two of them from tomorrow.
‘So for now, let’s go to sleep to get my condition back to normal.’
Before going abroad for a long time, it was the law to take a deep breath.
