chapter 38
As people go through life, sometimes they hear things they shouldn’t listen to.
For example, a friend you thought was your best friend was talking behind your back.
Or it was a witness story of a girlfriend who she thought was resting at home with another man.
such things.
okay. things like that
“Sophia. Why do you keep hanging out with a guy like that? what did we do wrong If you have, tell me!!”
“Well. There is no such thing…”
“Then why are you doing this?! I knew what I was doing wrong and kept going—!!”
This is it. As I keep listening, it seems that PTSD is coming. Do you remember your school days? oh It’s still my second school year.
“It’s like that in front of the party. But if a girl I’m close with goes out with Sunghoon, I think I’ll react.”
“You mean you’re not doing it in front of the party? Less than 3 seconds? Didn’t you say it for less than three seconds?”
I can’t hear you~ Ignore the damn blonde who covers her ears and makes a strange expression. Right now, I’m looking at Sophia with a troubled expression about five steps away.
I can hear the sound of course, and sometimes it hurts a little when I look at me and point at me. too bad. It’s called intelligent life.
I just called Sophia because she had something to do, and this is the situation. On the way, he happened to meet a group he had been close with before.
Yes. It’s very difficult. That’s because I’m the cause. I wish I could finish it sooner.
“There is nothing more tiring than being involved in another person’s political fight. If you look at the countries that have been destroyed in the past, is it usually a political battle?”
“Don’t lie to me.”
“Eh? It’s the witness I bought. And I don’t want to be offended, so I write the cause of death in a lie and just do it. I saw it. Did you see it with your own two eyes?”
“yes. I know that she is a grandmother who is at least 1000 years old, so please stop now. It’s a little scary to look at it with those eyes.”
Raphael didn’t rush because he liked the quick apology. You’ll have to be careful next time. I found a mine.
Wait a minute.
You’ve lived so long, have you been bullied by your fellow angels? I’m a little pitiful How many hundreds of years was it when I was in school?
“Are you really going to die?”
“no.”
Raphael looked at me with pitying eyes. That’s a specification.
In any case, as she was making such a little useless noise, Sophia waved her hand to see if the conversation was over.
The man who was speaking as the representative in the group behind him glared at me with great momentum, and he was also terrifying.
“What did you call me for?”
“no. I’ll tell you later. Are you okay?”
“yes? what?”
what? Rani is so natural that I am rather embarrassed by this.
“Ah, are they? are you okay. He wasn’t very friendly and rude. They misunderstood that they were friends.”
“Why are you getting hot? Sung Hoon? Am I the only one like this?”
“So do I.”
“yes? What did I do wrong?”
no. I didn’t do anything wrong. Well, he’s a vampire, so he must have prepared himself to leave at any time. by the way.
“Your actions are hurting someone.”
Especially for people like me. It hurts so much. Reminds me of my school days
“??”
Sophia tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand no matter how much she explained, so I gave up explaining. Just tell me why you called.
Sophia has a wide range of relationships. As a result of efforts to adapt to human society, it means that they have very wide feet.
What do you mean?
“Find my opponent. Well. The condition is 900~700th, the position is a avant-garde person who does not use magic well. Weapons are avant-garde.”
that you know this very well. Sophia looked up at the sky for a moment as if thinking about my question, and moaned, then clenched her palm with her fist.
“ah! There is one!”
right like this? I waited for Sophia’s words to continue in anticipation of finding the perfect match.
But.
“He! Haven’t you been there yet?”
When I looked in the direction Sophia was pointing, there was a man staring at me earlier.
you said it wrong There is still a man staring at me.
I made eye contact with him, semi-automatically averted his gaze, and then asked Sophia.
“Is there anyone else?”
***
What a luxurious restaurant.
It is a restaurant that exists inside Justitia for outside customers, and although there are usually few people, it was full today.
In such a full restaurant, Isia looked around and waited for someone.
While suppressing the beating heart and pretending to be calm while waiting, a man in a well-dressed suit walks in.
The dignity emanating from the way he walked, he was a person whose dignity was felt just by walking.
As soon as Ishia saw him, she jumped up and waved her hand.
“father!!”
“Sit down.”
However, the man, on the other hand, was expressionless. A face that doesn’t seem to show any emotion. Naturally, he sat down on the chair and crossed his legs.
As soon as we sat down, the waiter approached us, and after lightly placing our order, it was Lee Shia who spoke first.
“What did you come here for?”
that’s a busy man A person who usually never shows his face and only works, came to watch his ranking match.
I had a lot to say. Even people who don’t know if it’s okay to call them something that happened recently at the academy, new magic, or a new friend I made.
“I just came.”
“Hehe. You didn’t come here because I wanted to see you, did you?”
Seeing her father shaking her head, Isia laughed. Then he started chattering like a baby bird, and he just listened to it with an expressionless expression.
It’s like a one-sided conversation from one side, but his flaws appear occasionally. or um. same reaction. And the nodded heads let us know that the two of them were communicating.
As she spoke excitedly, she suddenly felt a gaze and tilted her head.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“have.”
“ah. I was the only one excited and said What is it?”
“Have you settled the maid’s case?”
oh Isia sighed involuntarily. I couldn’t solve it Second, Lee Sung-hoon is strong because his life as a maid was not so bad. As Units 2 and 3 increase, there is less work to be done, and the debt to Lee Sung-hoon is gradually piling up, so how do you put a dagger in your back?
“Yeah, that’s still. Not yet. But I will do it soon!!”
“…okay?”
“yes!”
Isia said proudly, but she was not confident. Knowing that, my father’s reaction was also very unsettling.
“okay. What kind of guy is that Lee Seong-hoon?”
“ah. That is~”
While bewildered by the sudden question, Isia spit out the words that came to her mind. I wanted to change the topic somehow, so I thought I’d stop talking about it quickly.
“At first I thought it was garbage. He doesn’t even help people who are being bullied, and he talks to me, so I thought he was a really bad person.”
However, as a human being, when you talk, you will say what you want to say without even knowing it. It is said that being a member of the family is not something that happens for nothing.
“But it wasn’t like that. Be sure when you have to. He takes off his feet and helps out when it’s really dangerous, and he’s a tough guy, but he’s more responsible than anyone else. That’s why I don’t hate it at all. oh That doesn’t mean I’m going to continue being a maid—!!”
She was startled even after she had said it, and waving her arms around her, but her father was already listening.
Here’s one more thing to note. Lee Shia’s father is daughter Babo. Not just stupid. than a huge fool.
Whether she left what she was doing when she was first kidnapped and went to a half-horse and made her half-paralyzed, or heard that she had fought a ghost and ran right away using the ranking match as an excuse.
His ears, who are that stupid of a daughter, are naturally filtered.
The performance of filtering is quite simple. It is a filtering that only selects the things that are harmful to the daughter.
What it means is that half of what Ishia just said doesn’t come in, and only negative words like trash, asshole, bad talk, and bad person are stuck in my ears.
One thing happens after that. It is concluded that the existence of Lee Sung-hoon is only harmful to his daughter.
“Um, so I think I’m a good person in the end!! Even though it’s huge, there are a lot of people around~”
Hearing her daughter’s story with one ear, she sheds it and sends her saliva somewhere. communication between wizards. In other words, it means ‘a task’.
He knows where the chloride leads.
***
“It’s pretty good to see.”
“Except for a lot of people.”
“Half of them are scouts? What do I do when people line up for my looks and skills? Am I in trouble?”
“It’s impossible, so don’t drink kimchi soup.”
“Will there be? Raphael is enough to stand in line.”
hey. Raphael said those words—I couldn’t possibly turn my gaze to the side. If I turn it around, all there will be is a damn blonde with a bubbly expression.
I looked around without averting my gaze. In fact, I could see people writing openly saying, ‘I’m a scout.’
People in black suits and black sunglasses keep writing something. In addition, the stadium’s spectators are filled with families, the fat man, and several students.
“Am I fighting in this crowd?”
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps How could such attention be drawn to a weakling like me?
“Sunghoon, are you an idiot? Right now, this match is ranked 1st vs 2nd, so there are so many people, right? No one sees the fight between the 1028th rank and the late 900s, right?”
That’s right. no one will see Hey, my shoulders feel lighter.
“I will see.”
“Thank you so much for that. But aren’t you fighting?”
“I’m only on defense. I have no interest in ranking.”
it seems like it The rankings are also ambiguous, so I wouldn’t do a lot of defensive battles, so I’m just playing for a week? I will die of envy
“Seong-hoon must be envious of you because you can’t do defensive battles.”
Not at all. It is honey that there is no defense. I’m just going to do nothing and raise the rankings as a challenge on the last day.
Well, if you eat ahead of time, you might have to fight a defense.
I’m weak and I hate it so much.
Yes, that’s why I’m going to play for a week- as if laughing at my thoughts. The cell phone alarm rang.
As a civilized person in the 21st century, I turned on my phone naturally and froze as soon as I saw the screen.
what’s next? What is it?” Raphael ran to.
“Well? what? notice. A challenger appears… yes?”
Raphael, who rubbed his eyes as if he did not see well, looked at the screen again.
Then he looked at him for a while to see if he didn’t understand.
“Ahhh????”
“What? A challenger appears. Can you prepare by 30 minutes?”
Sophia muttered in disbelief.
There is no one in the world who challenges the last place in the rankings.
“Nonsense.”
The world is absurd.
It was my philosophy of life, who was naturally dragged to the dungeon after 30 minutes.
