I Live Alone in the Inventory

Episode 35

[Daesung] A studio in the residential area of Shelter.

A gate was created where there was no one, and someone walked out of it.

It was Jung-min who opened the base gate in [Park River] and returned to [Daeseong] at once.

Jung-min sat down on the floor of the studio.

It was a day where a lot happened in a very short amount of time.

Jeongmin raised his right hand up to his eyes and looked at him.

‘Today, he killed several people…’

A large man who led the deputy shelter chief and soldiers of [Phulkang]. Even the person called the deputy commander-in-chief. There are probably deaths among the soldiers who were hit by swordsmanship.

‘It was something I had to experience someday. These are the people who tried to kill me. I can’t let you live with an easy heart…’

Jungmin thought as he clasped his hand in front of his eyes.

‘You must be poisoned. In order to survive in a world like this and see the end of the [trial of the gods], you have to become even stronger.”

After taking a deep breath, Jeong-min recalled the meeting with Jun-ki in the detention facility.

Joon-gi was very surprised to see Jung-min who opened the door of the detention room and entered.

Jung-min giggled as he recalled Jun-ki shaking Jung-min by the collar and asking what was going on.

After telling Hyeseong to release all the detainees, he told them to return them with their own shelter or guild after the meeting.

Jeong-min returned to [Daesung] alone after telling Jo Won to finish the meeting and return with the combat unit members, as well as a message that the people of the [Star] guild who had helped Jo Won would like to visit [Daesung] when the time is right. was

‘[Star] Guild’s Kim Hae-yoon or something… He might have been quite surprised since he unsummoned the shield.

Jimin got up from his seat again.

‘It’s been quite a while. I’ll have to hurry to go to Leah in the evening.’

Jimin opened the door and went outside.

The residential area was quite quiet, but when I went to the living area where there were restaurants, I could feel a very cluttered atmosphere.

Jung-min looked around and looked for a familiar face.

“Captain 3!”

Ki-chan shrugged his shoulders when he heard Jung-min’s voice.

As Ki-chan turned his head toward Jung-min, his face showed a deep expression as if he was complaining, “Why did I do it again…”.

“Did you, did you call me?”

“Are there any other 3 captains here? I looked for a familiar face, but I found it. nice to meet you How have you been?”

Ki-chan cursed himself for passing this place at this time and said to Jeong-min.

“Yeah, that’s right. Hey, how have you been? By the way.. what are you doing?”

“Oh, nothing else. It’s because the atmosphere is uneasy. I’m asking what’s going on.”

“Ah, that’s-”

“brother!!”

Sang-do, who spotted Jeong-min from afar, came running to him with a thud.

Ki-chan’s face turned bright, and he looked at Jeong-min and spoke hastily.

“Ah, actually, I’m in a bit of a hurry to go somewhere… I think you can listen to the 4th leader. I’m just…”

“Oh, yes. See you next time”

Ki-chan said goodbye to Jeong-min and disappeared.

Sang-do approached Jung-min and said hello.

“Brother, are you here? Did you have dinner”

“Ah, I don’t think much about Bob. No training today? The 3rd team leader also went around.”

“Today’s training has been completely canceled. So I was on my way to pick up Jia.”

“The training was canceled, what happened?”

Sangdo said to Jeongmin in a low voice.

“The… Shelter leader is said to have died. They said that because he was very old, his health was not very good. It is said that he died while taking a nap today. Well, you could die sleeping in a world like this, so you’re a merchant. Anyway, it is said that the deputy shelter chief has decided to take over the shelter chief’s seat in a hurry. So, they canceled all training today and held a memorial service in the evening. They say that the inauguration ceremony for the new shelter head will be held tomorrow. It’s messy here and there.”

“Hmm.. I see..”

Jimin thought for a moment.

Looking at Jung-min, Sang-do tilted his head with questioning eyes.

“Brother, are you having a problem?”

“Oh, no. I have something to think about. By the way, Mr. Sangdo?”

“Yes, tell me, brother.”

“I’m trying to do something, can you help me?”

Sang-do’s face lit up at Jung-min’s words.

“Of course it is, brother. Please do anything.”

“really?”

“Of course, bro!”

Jung-min said while looking at Sang-do full of enthusiasm.

“I plan to kill the deputy shelter leader and eat this [Daesung] shelter. Can you help me?”

“Yes! Of course… yes?”

Sang-do opened his eyes and looked at Jung-min.

“Uh.. brother, what did you just say..”

“I’m thinking of killing the deputy shelter chief and becoming the shelter chief.”

“…..”

Sang-do looked at Jung-min for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, Sangdo spoke to Jungmin.

“… You’re not kidding.”

“I’m not kidding. Why am I joking in front of Mr. Sangdo? How will you help me?”

Sangdo looked into Jeongmin’s eyes for a moment.

Then he opened his mouth and spoke.

“.. Previously, I volunteered to be your slave. Although he was rejected by his older brother, he vowed to become a younger brother and serve him for the rest of his life. Even though I wanted to properly serve my brother, it bothered me that I couldn’t, but now I can properly serve my brother. No need to ask if you can help. just say anything Whatever you say, I am ready to follow you, brother.”

Jung-min was very surprised to see Sang-do talking calmly.

‘I thought he would either be rejected for asking an absurd favor, or he’d make excuses and get away with it… but he’s a man with very deep trust.’

A look of emotion flashed across Jeongmin’s face.

Jung-min turned around and walked ahead.

“Let’s go. You won’t need any preparation.”

“I… brother”

“?”

“That… would it be all right if I asked you one favor?”

“Please?”

Sangdo lowered his head and hesitantly spoke to Jungmin.

“That… it was so sudden… I’m really sorry. Lastly.. Can’t we just say hello to Jia and go? Just look at her face once and go. I’m really sorry bro”

Seeing Sang-do speak with a resolute expression, but with an expression that looks like he will burst into tears at any moment, Jung-min can’t help but burst out laughing.

“Just follow me. There will be nothing dangerous. Let Jia finish her work and meet her.”

“Yes? There’s nothing dangerous…”

“We talk as we go. Because I don’t know where the sub-shelter is. Please guide me.”

“Oh, I also don’t know where the sub shelter is… Maybe it’s in the shelter manager’s room? I will guide you there.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

Jeongmin and Sangdo moved on.

Jung-min said as he walked beside Sang-do.

“Did you know that the personnel officer and I went to [Pearl River]?”

“I knew that the personnel officer was going as the representative of [Daesung], but… did you go with your brother?”

Jimin nodded and said.

“Yes, I went with you. The purpose of the visit was to refuse to become a shelter under [Phukgang] and to request a reset of the territory. And there, I heard from the deputy shelter chief of [Phukgang]. [Daesung] has already decided to become a shelter under [Phugang]. Weird, right? Apparently, [Daesung]’s shelter chief was against going under the [Phull River].”

“Ah.. how did that happen?”

“The whole story was like this. [Daesung]’s deputy shelter chief killed the shelter chief, and sold the HR manager, who was a thorn in the eye, to [Joo Kang]. No, we didn’t just sell the personnel officer. [Daesung] He also sold himself. In return, I was promised the position of [Daesung]’s shelter leader. Do you understand?”

“Ah.. that..”

“Can you believe it?”

Sangdo looked straight into Jeongmin’s eyes and said.

“Your brother said that… I believe you.”

“No, like that… No, that’s it. It’s true anyway. That’s why I said I would kill the deputy shelter leader and eat this shelter. It’s a bit like the expression of eating shelter, but… anyway, you don’t have to think that you’re doing something bad because you’re doing this because of something like that. And there will be no danger at all. I will do anything that is risky. Sang-do just needs to help with small things.”

“Yeah, but how… Oh, no. My older brother’s skill was at a level I couldn’t dare to judge. Okay. You can do anything, whether it’s a small thing or not.”

Jeongmin grinned at Sangdo, who spoke resolutely.

The two started climbing the stairs.

“There is a shelter chief’s room on the top floor. If you go up, the Awoken will be standing guard.”

“Hmm.. I have to explain it in words, of course it won’t pass, right?”

“maybe..”

“there’s nothing we can do.”

Jungmin stepped forward and started climbing the stairs.

As we reached the top floor, we began to see the Awoken who stood guard.

“what? 4 Aren’t you the captain? What’s going on here…”

“I’m sorry. I’ll put the potion next to you, so be sure to drink it later.”

Starting with Jung-min’s apology, the two people standing on the alert collapsed with two dull blows.

Jung-min said while taking out a low-level potion next to the fallen Awakener.

“I’m not yet a master who can control my strength.. Please drink it..”

Sang-do put on a shocked expression as he recalled Jung-min’s movements from just before.

‘I didn’t see it at all…’

Leaving behind Sang-do, who was surprised, Jung-min moved on again.

After passing through the door where the meeting room was located and going deep inside, I found a door with a signposted “Shelter Director’s Room” attached.

On either side of the door were men and women standing guard.

Sang-do spoke into Jeong-min’s ear.

“The 5th leader who excels in close combat… and the 7th leader with healing skills. ”

Jung-min nodded and rushed at the leader of the 5th group standing to the left.

Captain 5 swung his arm in surprise when he saw Jung-min approaching at an invisible speed, but he was hit in the jaw in an instant and collapsed.

Jung-min said to the 7th captain who was looking at him with a very surprised expression.

“I recommend that you simply surrender. I’m still immature in controlling my strength, so I don’t know how to faint without getting sick…”

Team 7 leader Chae Na-young, who uses a healing skill, nodded while looking at Jung-min.

“Yes, seeing that you are moving, you are not an opponent that can be treated as rebellious. Anyway, I’m not even a battle type Awakener. I will surrender.”

“Mr. Sangdo. Is there anything that can tie these two together?”

“Ah.. yes, please wait a moment.”

“Captain 4?”

Looking at Sang-do, Chae Na-young, the 7th leader, calls out in a way that is absurd.

Ignoring Nayoung’s call, Sangdo took out a rope from his inventory and started tying Nayoung and the 5th leader.

Jung-min said while handing a potion to Sang-do.

“That 5th leader seems to have been seriously injured. please treat me When you’re done… I’m waiting for you. It would be nice to put your ear to the door and listen to what sounds you hear.”

After talking to Sang-do, Jung-min opened the door to the shelter manager’s room.

There were quite a few people gathered in the shelter chief’s room.

The fat middle-aged man closest to the entrance said to Jung-min.

“.. what? what’s the matter?”

Jung-min said while looking at the elderly man, Yoon Geo-seong, who was sitting at the far end.

“I don’t know who is who because they are all new to me. Are you [Daesung’s] deputy shelter chief?”

“What is this guy? Where are we now… Hey! is there anyone out there? What if I let anyone in? My guys just…”

When the fat middle-aged man showed signs of going outside, Jung-min immediately slapped him in the stomach.

“Kwaaaek!”

The man fell forward and trembled.

Only then did everyone in the shelter manager’s room look at Jeong-min with serious expressions.

“Hello everyone. I am the person who went to the [Phugang] Shelter as [Daesung]’s representative with [Daesung]’s personnel officer… Manager Kwak. I finished my work at [Pulkang] and came back alone.”

“Hey, don’t lie! Will I be able to come back from the [Pearl River]-”

“There is no way I can come back. Yes? Director Kwak and I were supposed to be taken care of at [Pearl River]. But what about it? I came back like this Oh, Manager Kwak will be back soon too. What to do with this?”

The people in the shelter manager’s room started to stir.

“Director Kwak did something very bad while he went to [Phull River]. Did you think you would kill the Shelter Director… did you covet the position of the Shelter Director that much?”

Hearing Jeongmin’s words, Geoseong flinched, but then spoke calmly.

“I don’t know where you heard the story and come and say that. My older brother passed away of old age. Before he passed away, he entrusted me with the position of the shelter director.”

“Yes Yes. I bet you do. But are you okay? I heard that you contacted the [Phugang] side and recorded the conversation in which you said you would assassinate the head of the shelter…”

“He, you recorded that?! Dogs like this…”

“It’s bullshit.”

“…”

Geoseong stared blankly at Jung-min for a moment, then said with a frown.

“A guy who wouldn’t mind tearing me to death like this… dare you make fun of me?”

“Well… I didn’t say that to make fun of you. Since you’re cheating, you’ve even done a judo newspaper.

I didn’t know it would get caught so easily.”

“Ha.. what. yes. I let my brother go comfortably and took a seat at the shelter. So what are you going to do? The people here are all involved in this in the first place. What difference would it make if I confessed? You don’t seem to be the leader of the combat unit here… It seems like you’re new to me. There is no one in this shelter who will believe the absurd words of gossipers.”

Jeongmin said as he opened the door to the shelter manager’s room.

“Even if you don’t believe my words, won’t you believe the words of the leaders? Not one, but three.”

In front of the open door, Sang-do and Na-young, the 7th leader, are tied up with a rope. And three captains, including the fifth leader, who was healed by the potion and opened his eyes, were listening to the inside of the door with his eyes wide open.

The giant who saw the scene clicked his tongue and said.

“… As you get older, your brain is definitely getting stiffer… To fall for such a simple trick.”

“Really…is it true? That you killed the Shelter Chief to take the place of the Shelter Chief…?”

At Nayoung’s question, Geoseong shook his head and said.

“After hearing everything, what else are you asking? It’s just that there are a lot of dark fights like this at the top. What do you guys have to do with the change of the shelter? It won’t be any different than usual. You guys just do your job well and that’s it. Please don’t go around talking nonsense.”

After Geoseong finished speaking, he took out a pistol from his inside pocket and aimed it at Jung-min.

“But you are different. Looking at it, it looks like it has a deep relationship with Kwak Jo-won.. I thought it would be quite a headache if Kwak Jo-won came and started talking together.”

“Hmm.. You seemed to be quite relaxed, but you believed in the gun. I guess every conglomerate has a handgun? I see a lot of guns today.”

Sang-do blocked Jung-min’s face as he grinned.

Looking at the top, the giant said.

“Oh, this man. what are you doing Don’t let me waste the precious Shelter’s power with my own hands.”

“Sangdo, please get out of the way. It hurts.”

After hearing Jung-min’s words, Sang-do hurriedly spoke.

“No brother! No matter how big you are, in front of a gun.. I will block you, so avoiding your body-”

Looking at Sang-do spreading both hands in front of him, Jeong-min said.

“It’s Sangdo.”

Sang-do’s body flinched when Jeong-min called him.

Seeing Sang-do like that, Jung-min said with a friendly smile.

“It hurts, get out of the way.”

******

Leah’s inventory gate opened.

Jeong-min, who was waiting in the inventory, immediately moved to Leah’s side.

Leah, who was crouching in front of the campfire, greeted Jeongmin.

“Hello, Mr. Jungmin.”

“Nice to meet you, Leah. A lot of things happened today. There are many things I want to say. In the morning, go to the [Park River] shelter… Leah?”

Jung-min looked at Leah, who was giving off a different atmosphere than usual, and said worriedly.

“What happened? Aren’t you sick?”

Leah shook her head and looked at Jeongmin.

After staring at Jung-min for a while, Leah finally parted her lips and said.

“I found an S-class gate.”
