NOVEL NEXT chapter 7
7. Requests must be heard and then granted
7. A request must be heard and then granted
“Ugh..”
“…”
I’m going to die awkward.
Red eye glow against white skin.
The time I met her eyes felt like a minute had passed.
What’s stronger than that?
Her grip on my arm as I was about to hit the brick was far beyond my expectations.
To put it bluntly, Yoo Ha Yeon.
No, it could have been stronger than that.
Her red lips opened and let out a sound.
“Bricks. Are you going to guide them? Now my arms are a little numb.”
“If they don’t attack me.”
“Okay. Why would I attack you?”
I will not attack.
I believed her words and dropped the brick I was holding in my hand.
Thud.
To be honest, my strength was loosening because I was too heavy.
I’m glad.
If I had kept doing that, I wouldn’t have been able to wield it because of my stamina.
..by the way
Why don’t you let go of my arm?
Even after the brick fell, the woman showed no sign of letting go of my arm.
With an alluring smile on her lips, she said.
“I mean, it’s really fun, isn’t it?”
“..what is fun.”
“It’s not funny to believe in a person and throw away a weapon with a single word, isn’t it? I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
I thought wrong.
What have I done?
Even so, the brick was a means of protecting me.
To throw it at that woman, believing only her words that she won’t attack.
It seemed that he had not yet taken off the tee of the real world, which was far from death.
She grabbed my trembling arm.
I had no choice but to be drawn to her.
“If I wasn’t a good person, something would have happened. This is a world where trusting people is wrong.”
“..thank you.”
Is it normal to call yourself good?
I didn’t know that, but I knew that she had no intention of aggression.
No, but what happened to those men?
Apparently he kept following me, did she handle it?
If they were alive, I had to brick one of them down and run away.
Out of curiosity, I asked her.
“Do you know where the two people who followed me are?”
“Well, I’m not sure. By the way.”
He avoids answering, it seems he doesn’t really want to answer.
If you said you helped me, I was going to say thank you.
The moment that thought crossed my mind.
The white-haired woman began to bring my arm to her nose.
“What.. what are you doing..!!”
Sup.
Under.
The act of inhaling and exhaling deeply.
What is this guy afraid of?
Were you human in the first place?
I tried to shake my arm out of embarrassment, but that didn’t work.
“This.. what is this..”
“The smell of rotting drugs, the smell of pickles, the smell of dying blood. It doesn’t even smell at all. Well, who comes here without a story? Isn’t it?”
She smiled and let go of my arm.
“If there’s anything you want, just tell me. That face is my taste, so I’ll do at least one request.”
Like my face
I’m sure I ate a lot of buffs while coming to this world.
I tend not to decline favors.
“Jenny’s pharmacy. Please guide me there.”
“It’s a request I can grant anything. Are you satisfied with that?”
“Yes, that’s enough.”
Perhaps he didn’t like my simple request so much, she made an impression and told me to follow her.
How can I ask him a big favor?
That’s a person whose liver came out of the stomach.
I had no choice but to do so, having figured out her identity during the time we had that conversation.
“Follow me, and call me… um… simply, Wall.”
“..yes.”
Month.
White hair, red eyes.
Why did I forget her?
Meeting her here was the worst of the worst.
“Don’t stand still and follow me. I don’t have time.”
She took my denial of reality arm and headed to the pharmacy.
Her real name is Han Yu-wol.
I wanted to deny reality, but I had to admit it.
The fact that she is the vice-leader of one of the worst villains in V. AGE.
I grabbed her hand, which twists as easily as washing a person’s neck.
Oh, why is life like this?
It was a really sad night.
***
After arriving at the pharmacy, I quickly said goodbye.
It is impossible to associate with a villain.
A quick break was the answer.
“Thank you for the guide. I’m just…”
“No. I’m thankful for everything, it was good to relieve stress. I’ll stay with you until you leave.”
“Yes. If so…”
In my opinion, Yu-Wol Han is the extreme My-Pace.
No, I’m fine. Why?
I decided to swallow those words.
Reluctantly, I went into the pharmacy with her.
“Come on.. Hick..!!”
As we entered the store, the owner, Jenny, let out a startled moan at us.
You wouldn’t be surprised to see me.
The target has already been determined.
“It’s been a while, Jenny. Is it our sphere?”
“Ah. That’s right, the White Nightmare…”
“Today’s guest isn’t me, it’s you. Will you take care of me?”
“All..Of course..”
Was it spherical?
After all, there was no one who didn’t know Jenny, a talented pharmacist, among those who knew the back alley.
The atmosphere between the two of them was unusual, but well, it’s a personal matter, so there’s no need to dig it out.
I handed her the note I had written down.
“Give me everything written here.”
“Everything? Just wait..”
Alchemist Jenny.
At the beginning of the game, she gains experience in a back alley through illegal experiments.
Later it becomes bone and flesh, and in the future she becomes the de facto brain of the ‘witchcraft’ guild famous for its alchemists.
A body-enhancing pill that comes out of the stage of gaining that experience.
If you take it for many years, it raises the stat up to 8.
Later, even if you have money, you can’t get a pill.
I wanted to preempt it in bulk at the beginning.
Shouldn’t the honey be sucked at the beginning?
It’s kind of a dead person privilege.
“Hmm…”
A great figure, who was looking intently at the note, scanned me up and down and said,
“It’s expensive, but this… Customer, do you have any money?”
“No? Of course there is no money.”
“What..what..?”
Where is the student’s money?
I only have money to buy hot bars and eats at the convenience store.

Jenny had an expression on her face as if froze at my dignifiedness.
Han Yu-wol, who was watching quietly, said.
“Looking back, not only the face, but also the personality is my preference, right?”
“…not a kid.”
“Isn’t it cute too?”
What do you mean really
That’s not my taste.
I made a suggestion to Jenny, who was rolling her eyes.
“But, I’m not saying I won’t give you anything. What I’m going to give you is information. Very important information.”
“…I don’t need any specific information.”
“Isn’t that supposed to be enough?”
An offer she couldn’t refuse.
It was the biggest suggestion I could make, knowing the contents of the original game.
“The last ingredient. You don’t know what it is?”
“..!!”
Reat at NovelNext.com
Jenny, who was not surprised by the absurdity, opened her eyes as if struck by lightning.
Even after 5 years of research, she has not been able to figure out the last ingredient.
But what if I’m going to tell you the last ingredient?
She will unconditionally accept the offer.
‘Cause there’s not much time left
“You…how do you know the experiment…”
“I won’t say anything else. The medicine written on the note. Please make a two-year supply. If you promise, I’ll tell you right away.”
“Ah… no… how do you…”
Is it that important to me to know?
I guess I’m not.
“Brother. You have to save it.”
“…”
Her younger brother had lost consciousness a long time ago due to an attack by a demonic beast.
Magic stone.
Beasts are born with magic stones in their bodies.
That is the core of the Manastone, and no matter how intangible it is, the core is unconditionally possessed.
What if that manastone was implanted in a human body?
Do people with the core of a demon be recognized as a demon or as a human?
It is the body organs that judge it.
Yes.

Jenny’s younger brother was placed in a state of being a human-like beast.
Knowing that she too had little time left, I reached out to her.
“I’ll tell you. How to save your brother.”
“How can I trust you…?”
“In the current situation, shouldn’t it be believed? By the way, I trust Jenny.”
Reat at NovelNext.com
Jenny listened to me and seemed to be deeply troubled.
Seriously, who would believe a little boy in a hoodie?
It’s my brother’s life at stake.
Han Yu-wol, who was just watching, whispered to me.
“Does the kid really know? The kid knows something that Jenny doesn’t know?”
“Well then, why would I lie?”
“Hmm.. that’s right..”
What do you mean?
I don’t understand the inner meaning of most of Han Yu-wol’s words.
So while Han Yu-wol and I were talking, Jenny seemed to have made a decision.
“..I can’t give it because I don’t have enough right now. I’ll give you one month’s worth. If you’re right, I can give you three months’ worth.”
“You made a good choice. If you make this with these ingredients, you will get better quickly.”

Jenny in the game could not meet the deadline and sent her younger brother away.
After that, in the distant future, a large number of people with Manastone symptoms came out, and only then did Jenny find the last ingredient and complete the drug.
‘I was so close, why the hell am I…’
Reat at NovelNext.com
Jenny weeping while holding the last ingredient in her hand.
It was truly a sad story.
“The last ingredient is Halrocho vinegar from the mountains. Grind it finely and put it in medicine, and you’re done.”
“…for now, I’ll try.”
Whether she had the ingredients or not, Jenny immediately began to act.
If I gave you the wrong ingredients, you’d think I missed a month’s medicine.
Negotiation was successful because there was no thread for Jenny.
There will be only one day left when her younger brother will easily recover his health.
I admire myself very much.
“Later, please send the medicine by delivery!”
I don’t want to come here again.
After all, I met the deputy leader of the villain group, and what is this?
I received a month’s supply of medicine like that, and left Jenny’s pharmacy.
“The kid was a great person than I thought? He’s also more knowledgeable than Jenny, who is called the genius of alchemy.”
“It’s just luck. It’s lucky.”
“Hmm.. that’s right.. I’m a little greedy..”
I am not a thing.
Please do not covet.
Han Yu-wol, who kept calling me a little boy for not telling me his name, bothered me, but I wanted to get out of the back alley quickly.
Please save me…
Only the silent cries wept bitterly.
***
I have to say that today’s day was full.
Having passed the gate with three medicine boxes in hand, I was able to escape the stinky back alley.
“Ah, I’m finally free…!”
“Do you think you missed going out a lot?”
“Don’t miss me…”
Of course I miss you.
I never wanted to go back there.
Still, it is true that I was able to come out easily with the help of Han Yu-wol.
Giving thanks was a man’s duty.
“Well, anyway, thank you. For helping me quite a bit…”
After all, it’s embarrassing to say thank you.
Han Yu-wol, who had to say, ‘No, with this much,’ after receiving my thanks, came up with a different answer.
“If you’re so grateful, can you also grant my request?”
“Yes…? Please?”
I don’t thank you as much as I thought.
Still, I didn’t know what I would do if I didn’t do it, so I answered meekly.
“Yeah, well. At least one…”
“Then excuse me for a moment.”
Han Yu-wol brought her mouth to my ear.
Are you trying to whisper?
There is no one around, so there is no need to do it.
At that moment, what came to me was a pain in the back of my neck.
Kang.
This crazy
Are you biting my neck now?
I tried to separate her from sticking to me, but it seemed too much for me, who has 2 strength.
Chup. chup.
Han Yu-wol stopped and sucked my blood from the nape of my neck.
I don’t think there was any description of Han Yu-Wol drinking blood in the game.
I’ll read more.
It was a moment of regret.
“now stop..”
Pooh.
When I said something I didn’t like, Yu-Wol Han drank blood and exhaled vigorously.
“Ha.. It looked delicious, too.. It’s more than I thought. It might be the best meal. The kid needs to be suspicious of people.”
“…is the request finished?”
“Yes. It was satisfactory. I want to taste it one more time.”
I’d like it to be a little more restrained.
This will leave only real bones.
I wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.
“Then, I’ll just leave. Later…”
I wish I hadn’t seen it.
So I quickly turned around and was able to escape from Han Yu-wol.
When do you enter the dormitory again?
It was a darker traffic than blood leaking from the nape of his neck.
