That afternoon, not realizing the passage of time, I heard the story of Yeongjijeon.

A welcome guest came to the house.

“brother.”

It was So-yeong, Tae-jeong’s younger sister.

“what? Why are you here… … ?”

“I was just passing by and wanted to see my brother. You’re busy, did I interrupt you?”

“No, what are you busy? Even if it wasn’t, I thought I’d go once. come in.”

For a moment, I was puzzled by the sudden visit.

He soon took her inside.

“Sister, hello.”

“Welcome, lady.”

After a brief greeting, Soyoung entered the room with Taejeong.

“Is this your brother’s room?”

“uh. Aren’t you a bit short?”

“It would be nice to come home.”

“why? Are you afraid to be alone?”

“That’s not it. For some reason, I feel like I live in a nice place.”

“I like it here more than there. It’s crowded with people, and it’s much more comfortable this way to be active. What about the academy? Is it worth going?”

“yes. But is it really big? I think this academy is bigger than the school I went to before. The teachers are all professors with master’s and doctoral degrees from prestigious universities.”

“really? I didn’t know that either. Were you a professor? What about friends? Did you buy some friends?”

“I’ve been out for a day now, what? But everyone looked good. brother is? that… Have you ever tried hunting?”

“how many?”

“Isn’t it hard? As I was coming, I saw people who had gone hunting get off the bus in front of me, and they went in completely exhausted. Some people seem to have been hurt.”

“I have no choice but to do this. It’s nothing else, it’s about beating monsters. but don’t worry about me I only go to the weak spots.”

“Are you saying that because you’re worried about me?”

“Silly. why do i worry about you I grew up like this.”

Taejeong, who stroked her hair once, suddenly opened her mouth as if she was curious.

“But how did you get up there? They should have blocked it at the entrance.”

“They gave me an ID card, so they let me pass it? Uncle Taeho made some for you.”

“okay? Manager, you are working hard.”

“Oh yeah. But I have a question, brother.”

“Say it.”

“Are you staying here with Sae-ah?”

“uh? uh. why?”

“Do you like my sister?”

“What!?”

At the sudden question, Tae-jeong looked at So-young with absurd eyes.

Then she spoke again.

“No, if we stay together, we won’t be together all the time. Since we have one room, of course we can sleep together. We don’t even like each other, is that okay?”

“hey. Does the idea of sleeping in one room make sense? You have a living room. And Se Ah is here because of her secretary job. I didn’t bring it.”

“Why does the secretary live with you?”

“I was also dumbfounded at first. hey are you jealous I’m afraid you’ll take my brother away.”

“tooth. What do you mean? I’m all in favor of meeting my brother’s girlfriend. Se Ah unnie seems like a very nice person.”

“He is not a good person. But people don’t just look and judge like that. i always said People can tell by looking at it for a long time. So don’t easily believe that people look good while going to academy. okay?”

“yes. But can I go to sleep tonight?”

“why?”

“just. While I’m here, I want to sleep at my brother’s house for a day. You can sleep with your sister. no?”

“Well. It would be inconvenient. yes Then I’ll empty the bedroom.”

“Thank you, brother.”

That evening, a small party was held at Tae-jung’s house.

From carefully prepared food to beer and wine.

It was Soyoung’s first drink together since she became an adult.

One drink, two drinks, three drinks.

Park Sae-ah, who had declined until the end, also joined and emptied one or two bottles, and so their faces went red in an instant.

“Soyoung, you should stop drinking. Your face is too red?”

“Yes… … ? am i still okay? Right Unning?”

Park Se-ah answered with a gibberish at the words of So-young, who had a short tongue.

“Yes, lady. I’m OK. Never mind me.”

“Look. They say it’s okay. You should drink more.”

“It’s okay. Both are in different condition. Se-ah, stop drinking now.”

When Tae-jeong said that while taking the bottle away, So-yeong took it back with both hands and poured herself a drink.

“Brother, isn’t it too awkward?”

“what?”

“Brother and sister. You don’t seem very friendly. how to say Should I say it’s too businesslike? Let’s talk to each other so we can get to know each other. boss. Mr. Sea. this is all Are you filming a drama?”

“Okay… … .”

Taejeong, who was trying to answer something, thought for a moment, then looked back at Park Se-ah and asked.

“Will you speak comfortably?”

“Pooh. how am i doing Is that so?”

“… … ?”

“Brother, Taejeong’s brother.”

“It’s a mess, this.”

It was clear that he was drunk.

I never thought she would collapse like this.

But even that wasn’t perfect.

“okay. From today you are my little brother. It’s a bitch.”

“Uh.”

The place is ripening in such a friendly (?) atmosphere.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

Ding-dong!

“Yes? Who are you, brother?”

“Well. There is no one to come.”

Tae-jeong, who tilted her head, got up from her seat and went out to the front door.

And let’s open the door

I saw a familiar face standing there.

“hello?”

“uh? How did Mr. Joo… … .”

She was Joo-ah Seo, the younger sister of the Superman Club leader and a neighbor.

“I want to give you this.”

As she handed over the shopping bag she was holding, Taejeong, who accepted it, asked with a puzzled expression.

“What’s this?”

“At that time, I bought it with people little by little. I couldn’t even say thank you properly.”

“Oh, what is this? Thanks to that, I had a fun experience, too.”

“It’s sincere, so please accept it.”

“I’m sorry if this happened… But what is it?”

“It’s a potion called Breath of the Earth. There are only 5 of them, but I think they will be useful to Tae-jung.”

“ah. this precious thing But this is not sold at the market, where did you get it?”

“I went to the Seoul auction house and got it. Originally, I was going to get ten, but I only got five.”

“Five is enough. Anyway, thanks for the good write up. Please pass it on to others as well.”

“Yes then. Have a nice night.”

Looking at Seo Joo-ah who said hello and turned around, Tae-jung called her over as if he was sorry for something.

“there.”

“yes?”

“Would you like to have a drink together? My younger siblings, no, my younger sister came over after a long time and had a drink.”

At Taejeong’s invitation, she replied with a smile as if she was okay.

“no. If I wear it for no reason, my sister will feel uncomfortable.”

“it’s okay. My little brother is not familiar. come in It’s nice to be friends with your neighbors. Besides, we are comrades with the same goal. club.”

“I think it’s very rude.”

As she hesitated and hesitated, So-young came out to the front door.

“Brother, who are you? uh? You are very beautiful who? Are you my girlfriend?”

“It’s just a colleague, walking on the same path. Just looking at my brother, he looks nice, doesn’t he? Come in.”

“Let’s play together, sister.”

Soyoung, slightly drunk, grabbed Seo Jua’s arm and led her.

After being dragged inside (?), she took a seat and the drinking party became more and more ripe.

The drinking party, which lasted until late at night, ended at 1:00 in the morning.

Soyoung, who was chattering, was already asleep, and Park Se-ah, who was awake until the end, was sitting but her eyes were closed.

The only ones who were relatively intact were Seo Joo-ah and Tae-jeong.

“I’ve been around too long.”

“For a long time. The hunting story was fun. I often come to play, it’s right next door. Neither do I know. He is a colleague who has been with us for life and death.”

“thanks. I’ll just go.”

“Come in. Be sure to tell them thank you.”

When Seo Joo-a was sent and came home, Park Se-ah was also asleep next to So-young.

“Because I go to my room and sleep.”

Unintentionally defending the room, Taejeong brushed her teeth and stretched out on the bed.

At the same time, my eyes closed and I fell asleep.

the next morning.

“Are you awake? Are you weaker than you thought?”

These were the words Tae-jeong spat toward Se-ah Park, who was getting up first and preparing a meal.

Then she poured something into a cup and brought it towards him.

“This is honey water. If you eat it before a meal, it will be easier to eat.”

After drinking a cup of the honey water she handed her, Taejeong asked again while handing the cup back.

“But weren’t we supposed to let go?”

“Don’t talk. Yesterday I couldn’t help it because of the atmosphere, but a secretary is a secretary and a boss is a boss.”

Seeing her talking so calmly, Taejeong felt a bit awkward.

However, I have already let go of the words, and it is awkward to use honorifics again.

“okay. Please take good care of me.”

“Yes, Boss. The meal is ready now, do you want to wake the lady?”

“I’ll do it.”

After waking up So-yeong, who is still in dreamland, and having breakfast, Tae-jeong goes out to see her.

“I can go alone. If you call the driver, he will come right away.”

“Just go, you have to wait. I was thinking of taking a look around today too.”

I got into the car and left the inn, but somehow the road heading south was blocked by a fence.

Then, Kim Hyung-sik looked back at Tae-jeong and opened his mouth.

“I guess I should go back.”

“Why is this place blocked?”

“Probably because of Yeongjijeon. I thought it was all gone after receiving the report yesterday, but it looks like it’s still there. I will turn the car around.”

That’s how the car took a detour and started heading back to the southern district where Soyoung was.

As he descended, he could see an innumerable procession of buses.

A vehicle loaded with hunters participating in the Territory War.

The scale was so great that signalmen came out from everywhere to control the vehicles.

‘How many people are going? There is no end.’

The congestion was resolved only after entering the civilian district.

“Everything has come. Get ready and go to school.”

“yes. brother, thank you Uncle, thank you.”

After dropping off So-young, the way back to the house.

‘I’ll have to check out the quest once I arrive. But it’s really quiet. Did everyone leave?’

Unlike when I came, the road was so empty that not even a single ant could be seen.

It’s like seeing a ghost town.

So when the car is completely out of the southern district.

The second central plaza, which had been blocked earlier, came into his field of vision.

And at first glance, a shimmering portal.

Unknowingly he stopped the vehicle.

“I. Wait.”

“Yes? Yes.”

“I will walk from here.”

“You mean here? There are still 5 km to the accommodation.”

“I have something to look around. Go and rest.”

Saying that, Taejeong got out of the car and walked towards the plaza.

Only then can a portal of enormous size be seen at a glance.

The size of the portal boasted as enormous as what Park Se-ah had heard.

One building is enough to enter.

For a while, I was enchanted by its overwhelming size.

‘Shall we go in?’

All of a sudden, useless desires began to creep in.

An event that you have never experienced before.

It took several months to participate next time.

Tae-jeong, who was in conflict, called Park Se-ah.

-Yes. boss.

“Youngjijeon. Are only trained personnel allowed to participate in this?”

-It doesn’t really matter if it’s not the staff or the members of the defense unit.

“Then, if I go in, there’s nothing special?”

-That’s right… However. By the way, you’ll be alone if you go. They must have already left.

“OK. rest.”

-hello? honey… … .

pop.

After hanging up the phone, Taejeong stood in front of the portal and thought.

If you can’t go now, at least 3 months in the future.

The opportunity to experience is right in front of you, how can you just pass by this.

‘Because I can taste it.’

His imposing new model disappeared into the portal.
