chapter 26
26 – Seohee Nam (2)
Hana Baek was very embarrassed.
Apparently, it was because the pretty woman who was sitting next to the man who laughed at the precious name Woo-jin had given him suddenly slapped the man on the cheek.
“I really have nothing to do with this man.”
Nam Seo-hee, who tied her elegant black hair down to her waist, once again told Baek Ha-na about her innocence.
However, it was not Baek Ha-na who reacted first, but the supervisor standing in front of him.
“Student Nam Seo-hee. I guess it needs a bit of explanation. If you cause a commotion in the exam hall, it will be reflected in the evaluation, and if the reason is not valid, you may be disqualified.”
disqualification.
Nam Seo-hee’s gaze, which was heading toward Baek Ha-na, turned to the supervisor.
I’ve cleared up the misunderstanding, but if I’m disqualified from taking the exam, in the end I won’t be able to hug that fluffy tail.
The problem is that there is no plausible reason to turn to the supervisor.
It wasn’t that the white girl was the first to argue, but that’s why I passed out with a single slap… There’s no way to prove that a stranger insulted a child standing in front of him.
Looking at the reaction, the person in question seemed to have heard it, but the question was whether the supervisor would believe it.
‘… … I was too hasty.’
For the first time in my life, I had the desire to have something, and in the anxiety that I could lose it, I didn’t think about the next thing and threw it away.
-The test will be resumed, so please concentrate.
-Seo Tae-woong, an examinee. go in
Fortunately, the supervisors who were in charge of other areas appropriately resumed the test that had stopped, and the focused attention was dispersed.
However, the supervisor in charge of Nam Seo-hee was still looking at her, and even called her name once again.
“Nam Seo-hee, an examinee?”
“that is-“
“there.”
The supervisor, who was waiting for Nam Seo-hee’s answer, and Nam Seo-hee, who was rolling their heads, simultaneously turned their eyes to Baek Ha-na.
Baek Ha-na spoke to the supervisor with her white triangular ears sprouting on top of her head.
“I think it’s because of me.”
“… … I don’t quite understand.”
The supervisor slightly frowned and demanded a more detailed explanation.
Then Hana Baek points to Chul-Min Park, who is stretched out like a dead frog, and tries to continue.
“Professor Shin.”
Another woman appeared calling for the supervisor.
Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee could see the light blue ring on the hand of the new woman, and they knew that she was also a professor at the academy.
“… … All right.”
“then.”
blue ring. Kang Han-na carried Park Chul-min, who had passed out, on her shoulder like a bag of rice, and quickly went back the way she came.
“… Baekhana students worked hard. The results will be notified by e-mail, so you can just leave.”
“Yes. work hard.”
Since the conversion rate was at its peak, Baek Ha-na, who had overheard all the conversations between the supervisor and Kang Han-na, quickly turned away to avoid scratching and scalding.
“for a moment.”
“… … ?”
Baek Ha-na, who had turned around, stopped again at Nam Seo-hee’s call and slightly turned her head.
“I’ll finish it quickly, so wait a minute.”
“… … Why?”
“I want to clear up any misunderstandings and I have something I want to say.”
“Student Nam Seo-hee.”
When the supervisor called her name, Nam Seo-hee moved toward the summoner and continued talking to Baek Ha-na.
“It really only takes a moment.”
Then, without hearing a single answer, he entered the summoning machine holding a test sword prepared by the glass door in his hand.
The supervisor pressed the button on the tablet and said.
“It’s okay to try from step 1, or you can choose the step you want.”
-Four steps, please.
Nam Seo-hee’s voice was slightly impatient, and the supervisor sighed briefly and operated the tablet.
Soon after, blue particles gathered in front of Nam Seo-hee and in an instant took the form of an ugly two-headed dog with two heads.
– Beep!!
At the same time as the sound of the start, the two-headed dog, whose bones were exposed over the clinging leather, began to salivate at Nam Seo-hee, exposing its sharp teeth.
The two-headed dog, which has a ferocious personality that matches its terrible appearance, aims at the opponent’s back based on its excellent mobility.
In addition, since it has two heads, it is not uncommon to report cases in which one head intercepts an attack that entered as an opportunity if it is careless and gets hit by the other head.
For that reason, it was also known as the type of monster that Awakeners who use gauntlets or swords should be most careful about.
The two-headed dog, fully formed, glared at Nam Seo-hee, who was sticking to the wall, looking for an opportunity.
Nam Seo-hee grabbed the sword he was holding in reverse and threw it at Lee Du-gyeon without any preparation.
Kuung-!!
The sword, imbued with weak brain energy, drew a straight trajectory, pierced Biceps Dog’s body, hit the glass wall of the summoner, and fell to the floor.
something that happened so quickly.
The superintendent, who had a confused expression on his face, said with slightly surprised eyes as he saw the two-headed dog disappearing into particles.
“Step 5. Would you like a challenge?”
-Nope. I’ll stop.
Nam Seo-hee retrieved the sword she had thrown and came out of the summoning machine without the slightest hint of regret.
“thank you for your effort.”
“Yes. Results will be sent by e-mail.”
Nam Seo-hee, who slightly bowed her head to the supervisor and turned around, quickly looked for Baek Ha-na. And I was able to find a pure white one at a place a little away from where I was standing.
Hana Baek stands by the exit so as not to obstruct the passage of others.
Nam Seo-hee’s eyes were stained with bewilderment when he found such a white one.
‘ear… … tail… … .’
The reason was that the animal’s fluffy ears and tail had completely disappeared.
However, he soon regained his composure and approached Baek Ha-na.
It’s not that it didn’t exist from the beginning, it was there, but it was hidden, so I thought that if I worked hard, I would be able to hug that fluffy tail.
“Let’s go out at once.”
“yes.”
At Baek Ha-na’s suggestion, Nam Seo-hee nodded.
She also doesn’t like noisy places.
What’s more, the fact that some people were looking this way because of an incident from a while ago was also getting on her nerves.
It was when the two came out through the exit.
“uh?”
“… … yes?”
Maria and Edni were waiting for Baek Hana outside.
The two blinked at Nam Seo-hee, who came out with their friend next to them.
“… Southwest of him-”
Damn-!!
“… … ?!”
“A little. Shut up please.”
Idni screamed silently and twisted her body, and Maria pushed her aside and approached them.
“Call me Nam Seo-hee.”
“… I am Maria Idni is an idiot over there.”
Maria held out her hand first and lightly held Nam Seo-hee’s hand as she greeted her, revealing her and Edney’s names.
“… … What happened?”
“do not know. He asked me to wait because I suddenly have something to say.”
It was entangled in Park Cheol-min’s case, but Baek Hana did not mention the case because she knew that she had misunderstood.
“yes? then… Let’s go to the temple first. There are too many people passing by here.”
“Why? Wouldn’t it be nice to just go home… ?”
Baek Hana tilted her head, and Maria let out a small sigh and answered.
“Are you going to take him too?”
“… … Don’t you want to?”
Only one Claire is known to have broken through the infinite labyrinth.
The reason is Hana Baek, Maria, and Edni. This is because these three wore bojagi that erased their presence when passing through the maze.
It was when Baekhana was thinking for a while.
-~♥
A strangely irritating alarm sound came from Hana Baek’s wrist.
Baek Ha-na, who checked the smart watch Baek Woo-jin gave her, said with a slight smile.
“Woojin says it’s fine.”
“… … ?”
Maria quickly looked around.
All you can see is the students who came to take the exam.
There was no trace of Baek Woo-jin anywhere.
That made it even more creepy.
“let’s go. Are you okay too?”
“yes. Anywhere is fine as long as I can talk to you.”
Baek Ha-na moved first, followed by Nam Seo-hee.
Damn-!!
“Wow?!”
“Why are you standing there like an idiot? Let’s go quickly too.”
“damn… … .”
Maria glared at the back of Idni, who was chasing Baekhana as if she were running away, and then quietly moved on.
**
Nam Seo-hee, who followed Baek Ha-na, found it difficult to accept the current situation.
Baek Ha-na took a white cloth out of her pocket after suddenly going to a place where she shrugged. Then he put it on his head with himself.
It was fine up to this point.
It’s just a matter of accepting it as a little unusual child.
The problem was what happened after pressing the bojagi.
“Come in.”
infinite labyrinth.
It was so famous that Nam Seo-hee also knew about it.
“… … Excuse me.”
So it was difficult to understand.
That you have passed through the labyrinth of infinity.
The fact that what is at the end is not a special artifact, but a small mansion where people live.
“Were we like that at first?”
“You even dropped your saliva.”
“… … damn.”
Maria and Idney took off their shoes and went inside, and Nam Seo-hee, who came to her senses belatedly, also stepped into the house.
The first thing Baek Hana did after returning home was to wash her hands. Of course, Maria and Idni also washed their hands like Baek Ha-na, and Nam Seo-hee did it without hesitation.
“therefore? What do you want to say?”
Four people who washed their hands clean and entered the room of one hundred and one.
Nam Seo-hee, who was sitting on the bed, opened her mouth to Baek Ha-na’s question.
“I’ll say it again, he and I were seeing each other for the first time today.”
“yes. I will believe you.”
“… … thanks.”
When Baek Ha-na believed in her innocence more easily than expected, Nam Seo-hee wet her lips and continued.
“It’s sudden at first, but… I want you to be my friend.”
“friend?”
“friend.”
Nam Seo-hee anxiously stared at Baek Ha-na’s lips, waiting for an answer.
“It doesn’t matter, but… … .”
“thanks. Can you put a number here?”
“uh? Uh, that, yes.”
Baek Ha-na blinked at Nam Seo-hee’s action of holding out her smartphone very quickly and gave her number.
Nam Seo-hee quickly sent an e-mail to her number.
“That’s my number.”
“uh… … yes.”
While Hana Baek registers Seohee Nam in her address book.
Maria, who was watching it from the side, spoke to Nam Seo-hee.
“If you’re friends with Hana, you’re friends with us too.”
“… yes.”
Nam Seo-hee knew that they were apprentice priests through the two of them mentioning the temple in front of the exit a while ago, so she exchanged numbers with the two as well.
“then… … .”
First of all, Nam Seo-hee, who has achieved all of her goals for the day, is about to get up.
“for a moment.”
“… … ?”
Maria smiled while holding Nam Seo-hee’s wrist.
“Should I go back soon?”
“… … It’s not like that… .”
Upon Nam Seo-hee’s answer, Maria put her back on the bed and took out her smartphone.
“Then let’s play some more. Are you okay?”
“yes? uh. It’s fine.”
After Baek Ha-na gave permission, Nam Seo-hee thought for a moment and then nodded.
It’s because I thought there was no need to refuse the opportunity to build a friendship over there.
However, there was one thing she hadn’t overlooked.
“It’s Seohee. Do you play games too?”
“… … no.”
“yes? Then there is a game called The Guild, so let’s play together. How long ago did all three of us start? First… … .”
I mean Maria is very talkative and active.
**
“madam. What on earth do you not like?”
“Even if it were me, I wouldn’t work with you.”
“Yeah your face.”
“… … That’s cheeky.”
Nam Seo-hee fell for The Guild after being mixed up in the gap between Maria and Idney.
And Baek Ha-na, who is playing The Guild in the same way with her head leaning on Nam Seo-hee’s back.
This addictive game created by Yu Hee-sin instantly brought four people closer.
“… … !!”
While playing the game happily, Baek Ha-na suddenly stood up, opened the door, and ran outside.
“… … What’s going on?”
“Professor, you are here.”
“… … professor… ?”
“You are with me too.”
Nam Seo-hee followed Idni to the front door.
And I met Baek Woo-jin, who gave off a strangely heavy atmosphere.
“hello.”
“I was playing quietly with Hana.”
Maria and Idney greeted Baek Woo-jin, and Baek Ha-na stepped aside and said,
“A new friend I made today.”
Baek Woo-jin’s head turned to Nam Seo-hee.
“yes.”
“… … !!”
At the same time Baek Woo-jin’s mouth opened, Nam Seo-hee’s eyes widened.
Her heart skipped a beat at the sweet voice that seemed to melt her ears.
“… … Oh, I, I… My name is Nam Seo-hee.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded once and hung the coat he was wearing on a hanger.
“I’ll prepare dinner, so go and finish playing.”
“thank you!!”
“professor. Rosé Pas… … .”
slap-!!
“… … ?!”
“Please shut up.”
Maria dragged Idni and headed back to the one hundred and one room.
At that time, Baek Woo-jin asked Nam Seo-hee, who was standing there blankly.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“ah… that, uh… … help, help… Would you like… … ?”
What would you do to help with a subject that you’ve never done cooking before?
Nam Seo-hee was speechless for a moment even after he said it himself.
“Just let your heart take it.”
“ah… … yes yes… . Then me too… … .”
Nam Seo-hee quickly bowed her head and ran to Baek Ha-na’s room as if running away.
Baek Hana, who was left alone with Baek Woo-jin, hugged Baek Woo-jin’s waist from behind and clung to him like a child.
“What.”
“Is it okay if I help you?”
“… … Okay, let’s go and play.”
“Chi~”
Hana Baek playfully clicked her tongue and turned her head to her room as if slightly pouting.
The corner of Baek Woo-jin’s mouth went up weakly at the usual mischievous appearance.
However, Baek Woo-jin did not notice.
Baek Ha-na’s eyes, which were glaring at the back of Nam Seo-hee, who had run away as if running away, were coldly sinking.
The fact that Baek Ha-na, who was happily running into her room, didn’t hum.
Baek Woo-jin did not notice.
