chapter 15
15 – Unfinished Confusion (3)
Let’s guess the identity of the helper.
There are more factors that can infer the helper than expected.
A person who knows where Hansarang lives and knows that I and Hansarang are close. The person who found out before the terror that I had regained my abilities.
No way…
A candidate for all of those things came to mind.
“One love.”
“It’s scary when you suddenly turn down your voice…”
“Was Lumine de Astral a member of the Student Council?”
“Probably a sophomore clerk. But why…”
Couldn’t it be? A question appeared on Han Sarang’s face.
I didn’t want to suspect her friend, but I couldn’t help it when all her evidence was pointing at her.
If you approached me with such impure intentions, you couldn’t be called a friend in the first place.
I presented the evidence I had thought of before.
But she questioned me with a straight face, as if she couldn’t accept my words.
“Stop talking nonsense. That’s because you don’t know Rumi.”
“Yes, since I don’t know him, I can see him objectively from a third person’s point of view.”
A noble silence fell with the ticking of the clock.
I wonder if it was too much for her, who couldn’t get her mind off.
Han Sarang, who was using her fingernails to touch the blanket that covered her lower body, slowly raised her head.
“…You don’t know anything about the academy, about the people at the academy, right? So, only Rumi, who recently learned about it, is suspect.”
“Yes, you might think so.”
“I know that way of speaking is peculiar to you, but right now I feel really bad.”
She made a gesture that she would try to fix it, but it belatedly dawned on her that she was blind.
In fact, it was a promise that she couldn’t keep even if she noticed, because she couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her human relations.
In that case, I thought it was fortunate that it hadn’t been conveyed.
“…That blue-haired mage is precious to you.”
“Of course. He’s like my real family, unlike my aunt, who is nominally and legally related.”
“So what about me?”
“… Yes?”
Ah, after staying up all night, I also lost my thoughts.
Kuh-hum, he cleared his throat and cleared up the misunderstanding.
“I’m speechless. If I ask again, I wonder what kind of existence your aunt’s family is to you.”
“Ah… What else am I saying. My aunt’s family… That’s right, to me they are trash. Yes… They’re trash, but I don’t want to let them die because they have kinship.”
Because it’s a blood relationship, I can only hear you saying that you’ve become nice.
I’m not as good as my family over there, but I also have a father who is as good as I am.
If this had happened to my father… Would I have just let him die?
Looking back, it was not an easy decision for me either.
The fact that it was only connected by blood is such a strong bond.
“The devil’s threat, when is the deadline?”
“They said until the sun goes down today… That if they act nonsense, they’re going to cause another round of terrorism in the middle of the city…”
These diabolical demons were still forcing a young girl to answer the trolley dilemma.
You have to carry a heavy burden, Hansarang.
I wanted to share that burden, so I revealed my tone even more.
“You want to save those people?”
“…Yes, but I hate losing you even more.”
“Recyclable trash is better than regular trash.”
A few days ago, she playfully asked her, quoting her words that she had heard when she was preparing for school with her.
This was also to evoke her heavy atmosphere.
“Poop, the back end is killing me, really.”
“Yes, so be careful what you say in front of me.”
“Yes yes. Well, if I’ll give you lip service, now trash titles are still good. They’ve been recycled into my cane.”
“Thank you so much.”
After exchanging jokes, she began to openly discuss the problem again.
First of all, I, who temporarily regained her ability through the divine power of Hansarang, was the plan to subdue the demons.
But it didn’t look very good for me alone to deal with an enemy I didn’t know how many there would be, and who I was sure to have prepared for.
… Wait a minute.
“Does the enemy know?”
“What?”
“The fact that the reason my ability returned is thanks to your holy power.”
“Couldn’t I… Catch someone?”
If this hypothesis is correct, the reason for targeting me as the true target of terrorism is established.
If I regain my abilities with the divine power of one love, my value is to be resurrected.
Then, one more reason is added to the hostage of Hansarang’s aunt and his wife.
It’s partly because she’s trying to seduce me, and it’s probably also in order to get her into her hands.
Now, the biggest questions will be put to rest if I find out who the culprit behind all this is, but I’ll do the investigation myself later.
I was about to go back to the main topic and discuss another plan, but the phone rang.
I thought it was spam because it was early in the morning, but it was a stored number for me.
‘Freja Briel?”
When I was a promising youngster, she was my older sister who treated me like her real sister when I just joined the guild.
Whenever I went to void purification, he always greeted me and gave me encouragement, and when I had hard training, I used to give him an energy recovery potion that he said he had developed himself.
The potion I ate at that time is remembered as the best drink in my life.
I heard later that I resembled my younger brother who died when he was young.
Even now, even after my downfall, I make half of my friends and keep in touch with them often.
“Hello.”
“Oh, my brother, there was a terrorist attack on the academy! Are you okay? Are you not hurt?”
“Oh, the embargo is over. I’m fine, Frey.”
Even though he said it was okay, he asked the same question several times out of concern.
Anyway, she is my older sister who cares for me so much.
“It’s okay to say it’s okay, this older sister is really sleepy…”
“Sorry for worrying you. I forgot to leave a message.”
“Please contact me from now on. If you break your promise, will this older sister get married to you?”
“… If you touch a minor, you get arrested.”
It’s been something I’ve always said when I’ve strayed from the past, but these days, whenever I do something, I bring it back.
At first it was clearly a joke, but now it’s like waiting for adults to grow and eat.
Anyway, it’s getting more and more sincere, so it’s scary.
“By the way, my younger brother! The whole snowfield is in chaos right now.”
“Snowfield? Ah, maybe it’s because of my ability.”
“Yeah! What happened to that? Maybe the Hunters whined about wanting to retire quickly, and then hid it for some reason…”
“You can’t tell. Your sister should know better how many times you’ve had a thorough examination at Seolwon.”
As the head of the research department and head of the medical team, she stayed by her side and nursed me for months after the accident.
I turned around and explained to my sister Frey not to worry as much as possible about the recent events.
From combat practice to yesterday’s terrorist incident and the hostage news of an aunt and his wife he just learned about.
Suppose there is something you would like to discuss about it.
“I’ll take a taxi to your house right now. Wait a minute!”
The phone hung up.
Mine sent me a text message telling me to be careful in case someone tailed me, and then I put my phone down.
Then I felt a sharp gaze from the side.
When she faced her one love in her doubts, she went somewhere and there was a puffer fish that puffed up her cheeks.
“Why, what else are you pouting?”
“She’s that girl. She’s very sweet. She seemed to get along well.”
“…She’s just a know-it-all sister.”
“How does she know!”
“How do you know… Because you belong to the same snowfield guild?”
After answering all the questions, she raises her voice even more and starts pounding her chest with her fist.
“Are you rationally likable?”
“… What?”
“Are you rationally attracted to that person?”
“Why are you asking?”
“Stop talking and answer!”
“…Well.”
It is true that she is a nice and beautiful person, but Freya is a saint in the first place. There isn’t much of an age difference.
In the first place, she is Frey noona, she is like an older sister to me, so I never thought of her rationally.
“Then do you like me or that sister?”
“Of course Frey’s sister.”
As I spit out her words, I laughed at myself. Because she thought it was an insignificant topic.
But Sarang Han jumped up and left her room. Scratching her head in her confusion, he followed her out.
‘What does this… Mean?’
Han Sarang was standing in the hallway right outside her door as if waiting. Hearing my presence, the corners of her frowning mouth went up a little.
“Still, you came to catch me. Should I be happy about this?”
For now, we decided to cater to the unusual sarcasm. Why are all these picky and sensitive saints?
“…Just kidding.”
“Hah? Which one? If you don’t explain it properly, I’ll be pissed.”
“Prey sister, I’ve never seen you rationally. I’ve never felt romantic feelings for anyone in my life…”
I thought she wouldn’t be there, but she couldn’t finish the sentence.
During the combat practice, Han Sarang, filled with memories, brought up the story of the camp.
Before I gave up on the exam, that smile that smiled at me as I was on the verge of death.
The stories we exchanged in a cafe where the two of us went alone.
It was because she covered my mouth.
– Pounding.
My heart was pounding.
It was more heartbreaking than when chanting large army magic on the battlefield where hundreds of void bodies rushed in.
“You are such a… Liar.”
