I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

137 – Date on the night of the new moon (2)

Is it my imagination?

It’s a voice I’ve heard a lot.

Though I seem to think of it, I can’t think of it in the end.

‘No, what…… There are quite a few people who cling to me as fans these days, so it’s no surprise no matter where you’ve heard it.’

Unlike in the past, he has become quite a celebrity.

For the past few months, it’s not enough to have been entangled with them and her love scandal, and it’s because she has also subdued her powerful monsters.

Since she was from an E-rank hunter, she repeatedly went up and down in people’s cubes.

When I searched for my name on the portal site, I was able to find a considerable number of related articles.

People’s interest in me, who is a childhood friend of top 10 Lee Ji-hyun and has a close relationship with Ryu Ye-rin of the family name, may have been inevitable.

But I can’t shake this bitter feeling.

That woman has a completely different feeling from ordinary people.

The thought that I shouldn’t be dismissed as just a fan stirred in my head, and as I stared at the woman with a calm face, I slowly got lucky.

“Are you a fan?”

“Yes. I’ve been a fan ever since.”

“Oh, I see. Thank you.”

Fan…….

I’m a fan…….

I don’t think the word fan itself is a lie.

Because he was openly expressing that he was happy to meet me.

I couldn’t rule out the possibility that it was acting, but I could trust the woman’s words to some extent because the expression, voice, and gestures on her face were identical to those of an excited person.

Above all, there was no gain to be gained by that woman lying to me.

So let’s stop thinking about it.

“I read all of Seo-jun’s articles in the past.”

“All my articles?”

“Yes. After graduating from the Hunter Academy, climb the tower with difficulty, defeat the monster in Hanbit Park, attack the secret dungeon on the 4th floor, and defeat the eight monsters that appear near the cafe…….”

The woman smiled brightly and, as if trying to prove that she was a fan, proudly began to tell the story of what had happened.

It was the look of an avid fan introducing their favorite celebrity.

For some reason, I really didn’t like those eyes.

It’s very dark.

“I scraped all the articles about you. I can say that I am a big fan of this, right?”

“Oh, yes. What.”

When I heard that it was all scrapped, cold sweat broke out from my temple, but on the outside, I kept a bored expression and didn’t even say a word.

Because it’s rare to find someone with that level of fanaticism, and he’s never done any harm to me.

I was a little worried that I would become a sasaeng fan later, but it was nothing to worry about right now.

“By the way, Mr. Seojun.”

A woman suddenly called my name.

“Seojun, why are you trying to climb the tower?”

“Yes?”

I was slightly hesitant at the woman’s words.

I don’t know why I’m suddenly asking this question.

I calmly organized my thoughts in my head and soon decided to give an acceptable answer. There is no need to say that I want to kill all the monsters because my parents died.

“I do it to make money. To make money Well, isn’t everyone like that?”

He shook his shoulders once and answered in a non-trivial voice.

But the woman shakes her head and looks at me with a confident look, asking a non-question.

“Of course, making money is one of the reasons. But that’s not all, is it?”

What the hell are you talking about knowing what you know?

The woman stared at me as if she knew I didn’t mean it. She looked at me like she knew what I was thinking, so she felt a little upset. I hate those eyes that seem to see through her insides. I don’t like it.

“I can tell from watching you for a long time. Since his days as a porter, he recklessly attacked the tower. If she were a normal person, she would never have done that.”

“It was a hit when I was young. And these days, I rarely attack the tower.”

I trembled while maintaining a calm face.

“In my early days, I was just overdoing it for a while… ….”

“Is it because Seo-jun’s parents were killed by a monster?”

My lips slowly closed at the words of the woman who jumped in.

“Ah. Sorry. Did I say something a little sensitive?”

“… ….”

The woman who looked at my complexion hurriedly handed me an apology with a slightly apologetic expression, but I couldn’t erase my displeasure.

But I didn’t express it outwardly like an idiot.

I didn’t think the woman was malicious, and I was too pathetic to get on her nerves now that her parents were dead.

“No. Are you okay. And well, as you said, it seems that she was influenced a little by her parents. Actually, after my parents died, I quit college and tried to become a hunter.”

That woman must know this.

Because it seems like you’ve been looking for me in many ways.

I am a big fan…… It’s kind of scary.

“At that time, I didn’t have enough time in many ways, so I cut off all contact with my friends and struggled alone.”

With a slightly lonely smile, he recalled his past self in his head.

“Now that I think about it, I think I overdid it a bit. Then I could have really died…….”

I looked up at the crescent moon floating in the night sky for a while, then stretched and straightened it out.

“Now, if you have said everything, I will go soon.”

“That’s not all. Mr. Seojun.”

At this point, the moment I finished the conversation and was about to get up, a woman’s words grabbed my ankle tightly and wouldn’t let go.

As I looked to the side, I realized that a woman with serious eyes was staring at me.

The woman’s eyes caught the moonlight and gleamed strangely.

“What do you mean?”

“Have you heard of Seojun at least once? The rumor.”

“A rumor?”

“The first person to conquer the tower can make one wish come true.”

“Ah…… Is that it?”

A smile leaked out at the appearance of a woman who seemed to believe in rumors.

“Yes. I’ve heard It’s a really stupid rumor.”

“But Seo-jun.”

The moonlight was in the woman’s eyes.

“You said so, but have you ever thought about it at least once?”

I was silent for a moment.

A foolish legend that grants the wishes of the first person who conquers the tower.

I dismissed it as a joke, but around the time my parents passed away, I thought about it just in case.

Of course, I didn’t believe it seriously, but I couldn’t deny the fact that I once had a stupid thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be possible to save my parents if I conquered the tower first?’

But everyone thinks like this at least once, right?

What’s strange?

“People want to lean on something when they are having a hard time or suffering. Believing in the existence of something transcendent, I find peace of mind by praying and worshiping.”

She suddenly paints a gentle smile and smiles kindly like a mother caring for a small child.

“Normal people say it’s bullsh*t. They are busy denying the existence of God while trying to prove it. I repeat suffering in disbelief and denial. But you know Seojun too, right?”

What?

“The fact that God exists.”

“No way…… Is it because of the tower?”

“Yes.”

The woman smiled broadly.

She raised her voice with her hands slightly open.

Like a leader guiding a lamb.

“Towers, Monsters, Powers…… Isn’t all this proof that God exists?”

The appearance of the Tower.

The appearance of the monster.

The awakening of this ability.

All of this was a mystery that could not be explained in words.

Until now, it has not been scientifically proven and will not be proven in the future.

It was truly a miracle of God.

“The Lord of Heaven built a tower on a rock and bestowed blessings on the people. A monster is a trial and a punishment at the same time.”

I moved my gaze slightly.

There was a white cross patterned bracelet on that woman’s arm.

A white cross, a white cross…… Could it be that she is from this woman, Seongcheongyo?

“There are no trials that cannot be overcome. You can conquer the tower only if you shed blood and sweat and overcome hardships. And at the end of trials there is always a reward.”

“Is that reward your wish?”

The woman smiled and shook her head. She looked at the woman bobbing up and down and clicked her tongue in her mind. What is this woman she’s now she’s missionary? With that thought, she could understand why she was so consistently benevolent.

“I heard a lot of interesting stories. Apparently, she belongs to the Seongchun Church, is that correct?”

“Yes. She has had enemies in Seongcheongyo since ancient times.”

“Oh, I see.”

I scratched my cheek.

It seems that the missionary work was right.

Are you preaching religious stories in this way these days?

In the old days, we would talk about things like heavenly blessings and ancestors.

“Sorry, but I have a different religion.”

In fact, there is no such thing as religion.

However, it is better to use religion as an excuse to express your intention to reject it.

Because it is not necessary to become a victim of propagation activities.

The woman who heard me smiled brightly and shook her head from side to side.

“I’m not recommending religion, Mr. Seojun.”

The woman said with a slightly sad face, as if it was a little regretful.

“I was simply expressing my opinion. I don’t know what Seojun thinks.”

I’m glad then.

“Seojun. If you were the first to attack the tower, Seojun, if you could really make a wish, what would you like to achieve?”

“Me?”

I pondered over the woman’s words for a period of time.

I didn’t think about it seriously because I didn’t believe in that absurd rumor, but if I had to think about it, I only had one wish.

Because there was something else I’ve been wanting for a long time.

“Well? To put it bluntly, is it about wanting to bring your parents back to life?”

The old memories of living in harmony with my parents suddenly came to mind, but soon faded.

“Well, it might be a nuisance to my parents who are living happily in heaven.”

He spat out a joke and trembled.

I really thought it would be nice if I could bring my parents back to life.

But it was a foolish delusion that could not come true.

…… Does it make sense to grant a wish just by conquering the tower in the first place?

Who said that nonsense first?

That’s really nonsense.

I am. I’m dumbfounded.

“I see.”

The woman gave me a gentle nod of her head, confirming my words.

I thought this was the answer I expected, but the woman’s face looked a little sad.

I couldn’t understand why he was making that face.

“But Seo-jun.”

“Yes.”

The short-haired woman moved her head slowly.

The clear voice of a woman pierced my ears.

The woman hesitates for a moment, then she utters one word.

“What if you couldn’t bring the dead back to life?”

“Yes?”

What are you talking about again?

“Because there may be limits to what can make wishes come true. It is not the Holy Grail of all-powerful. The range in which wishes can be fulfilled is limited, and a person cannot be revived within that limited range.”

You’re talking a little bit funny.

No matter how hard it is IF, it would be disappointing if the wishes that can be fulfilled are limited even though you have struggled to get your hands on the magic lamp.

I managed to conquer the tower at best.

“Or the number of people that can be saved is limited. You can bring back one or two people, but you can’t bring back more.”

She slightly thrust her face into me.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“It’s a story that doesn’t matter because you’re going to save both of your parents anyway.”

“Seojun. Think about it. You were the first to conquer the tower, but could you climb it without any damage? There must have been quite a bit of damage.”

What do you mean?

Before you know it, the woman’s face is approaching her nose.

The woman’s brown hair rustled.

The woman’s eyes flashed with the strange scent.

The moonlit eyes shone subtly.

“For example… ….”

The woman carefully glanced at her sideways, and then she started talking strangely.

“A colleague like her sister could have died while climbing the tower.”

Wooksin.

I suddenly felt a migraine.

What’s up, why the hair?

“Or a woman like her friend might have lost her life.”

Her hair is pounding.

I frowned slightly.

What the hell is this woman talking about?

“Alternatively, the woman who did not back down and fought to the end to save people could have met her death in the end.”

I put my head down.

Since that woman said something strange, my head has been hurting for some reason.

I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol she’s been drinking, or if it’s because she’s talking weird nonsense, but she’s not in a good mood.

“Wouldn’t it be very disappointing if there were so many people I wanted to bring back, but the number of people I could bring back was limited?”

“…… What on earth do you want to say?”

The example is as specific as it is strange.

To the point where I feel really bad.

Of course, it would be most realistic to dismiss it as a stupid delusion.

But for some reason, I couldn’t think of that woman’s words.

It seemed that there was something about that woman.

‘A colleague like a younger sister? Colleagues like friends? What the hell…… Oh sh*t. You’re not talking about them, are you?’

I looked at the woman with a furrowed eyebrow.

Despite staring at her with sharp eyes, the woman remained unconcerned.

On the contrary, he only had a slightly flushed expression.

“…… Well. If you were just like me. I think I would have made a wish like this.”

The woman smiles and says a few words.

“I want to go back to the past and start over.”
