Three chairs were placed side by side in front of the dungeon gate, which was not yet activated, i.e., the target was not completed. Today, Yerim will definitely come out, so it was because the two of them followed me, saying that they would go ahead and wait.

It was Yoohyun who was in my right chair and the Holy Father on the left. Even though Yoohyun is like that, Seung-gil Chief is also free.

“Aren't you busy leaving the dungeon yesterday?... even though you don't seem busy at all. ”

Hot pink wool rolled around in a basket at the foot of the Holy See. An elaborate knitted pattern is made under the hand of the castellate agent that pulls the thread. The scarf that I showed you on my last birthday was something broad that I was weaving. Is that a sweater?

“If the little girl's dungeon has changed significantly, there's a good chance she'll bring more information. ”

Sunghyun said in a slightly slower voice. Wool wraps around the needle. Knitting in hot pink fur thread seemed unnecessarily elegant. No matter how much I look at it, I can see it in my eyes.

“So you have to listen directly, is that it? ”

So curious, I handed over the screen of the phone in my hand. It was from the Hunter Association for Japan. The Japanese side called to confirm the match this morning. When Yerim came out safely, he was going to announce the news with an interview.

“One more thing. ”

The hand of the Holy Father stopped. He turned to me.

“Yesterday, Han Eugene's attitude was disadvantaged in many ways. ”

Oh, come on. I've heard enough of your nagging. I went to Sung-hyun without being careful, but I was hit a lot because I heard about it. I asked if I could see more than just playing at the hands of the guild masters.

At least in public, I've emphasized several times to walk on two legs. But what if I'm not strong enough? I thought that person made me look like that on purpose. A warning that if you don't qualify, you will be taken down immediately to this image.

“I advised you. I acted on your own terms. I thought you were relieved, but what are you still complaining about? ”

“It made me feel better, but as soon as I got involved with children, I couldn't help but notice how cracked I was. Han Yoo-jin needs to get colder. ”

I mean, maybe he's in danger, but he needs to stay calm and clean. You don't think I'm a monk?

“I just couldn't bear it for an hour or two and insisted... I had a restless attitude. Admit it. But I've been patient for two days, that. ”

“Hold on, Ra. By making the young master nervous. ”

I looked back at Yoohyun reflectively in the words of the Holy Father. When my eyes met me, Yoohyun hesitated and opened his mouth.

“… because my brother is restless, so. I thought he was... going to do something dangerous again. It's not that I don't trust you. But we shouldn't make any rash decisions. ”

Yoohyun stayed with me for two days. He didn't know he was worried about me. But I'm also worried about Yerim... Damn it.

I caused him to become anxious again.

“I'm sorry. I made you care. ”

“No, brother. But for once, I agree with the leader of Seung Guild. Every hunter in the dungeon knows what's gonna happen. I know you love Park Ye-rim Hunter, but I need you to be calmer. I'm sure Park Ye-rim Hunter will continue to enter the dungeon, but I can't do this every time. ”

... I know. I am well aware. I've been in dungeons. I know I can lose. I've lost.

“But this time... it was different. ”

Even when I heard it, my voice was powerless. I need to stay calm, but I need to stay calm. I knew it with my head, but my heart was shaking. It's this much because there is a resistance to fear.

The memories of going into the dungeon and having to come out alone keep popping out. I was fascinated by the late news. The memories buried deep have continued to raise their heads since the moment they decided to meet again, even though they are now alive.

“... Yes, brother. It's okay."

Yoohyun grabbed my hand.

“I'm fine, so don't overdo it. Do what you want. I'm going to help you. ”

The moment I heard Yoohyun's words, my back neck became cool. What are you, again? To cover for me again.

“Don't do it, Yoohyun. I'm your brother.”

I was my brother. My fingertips were a little shaky. Yoohyun held my hand tighter. I wanted to close my eyes, but at the same time I was scared of closing my eyes. You turn your head. You look at the Dungeon Gate. Fear Resistance Skill, it's definitely on.

“Three years, obviously. ”

Seung Hyun-jae said that knitting had just disappeared.

“Not a short time, and the young master thought it was unsettling. But Han Yoo-jin's attitude is too much. Even Han Yoohyun and Park Ye-rim are not weak, but desperately trying to protect them. ”

His gaze was on me. It was a calm and sharp look.

“Like a parent who has almost lost a child forever. I don't understand the attitude of Han Yoo-jin just because of the records I know. ”

“... You have a lot of useless interest. We're just partners. ”

Don't dig. Leave it alone.

“At this rate, you'll become famous. ”

And the partner. Seonghyun said, I was shaken so much. But what am I supposed to do?

“I already told you I'm unstable. ”

“Brother.”

“You're impatient. ”

He said he was waiting for me. I was so depressed that I stared at Seong-hyeon. How much time has passed that you want me to change.

He slants his neck. The golden eyes looked down at me. The Holy Father's mouth was opened. The voice that flowed was surprisingly soft.

“If you don't solve the problem, it's hard to change. Leave your rotten insides and paint a new one just to get cracked again. ”

“… cause? ”

My voice was somewhat cloudy. Yoohyun pulled me towards me. I hugged my torso halfway.

“That's enough. ”

His voice falls into my ears. The stare of the Holy See continued to turn toward me. I feel bad. Cause, easy to say.

“It's okay, brother. Never mind. ”

I took a deep breath. Yeah, never mind. My insides are rotten. What if there's nothing left to dig up? That's why I'm barely holding on to the arms that hold me.

Damn, I wanted to do this...

No, it's okay. It's okay. I squeezed my brother's hand tighter, holding mine. It's gonna be okay. I'm fine. It should be okay.

“… Isn't it about time for Yerim to come out? ”

I pretended to be a child and swallowed dry saliva. The inside of my neck was tingling like a fever. You must be exhausted. Let's have dinner. Yerim's favorite. It's been a long time since all three of us have been home. Yerim left the room clean. You're gonna want to take a break.

Woof ─

That's when the gate changed. Color changed and activated with low reverberation. The dungeon raid was over. I woke up from my seat. You won't get hurt. It's gonna be okay.

Soon after, a human appeared at the gate. He was one of Yerim's team members. It's probably a defensive system. Even if you defeated the boss monsters, there was a chance that there were still common monsters left, so you left the gate in that order. We are also unaware of the situation outside the gate, so it is the defensive system's turn first, followed by the assault system, auxiliary, healer, and again by the battlefield hunter.

“Guild Master...? ”

The hunter who came out was embarrassed to see us. After greeting, I moved aside and others appeared in turn. As expected, everyone was surprised. I'm sorry. It's Yoohyun, the guild leader, but why did the guild leader follow me here?

- Ow!

Then the blue comes alive.

“Mister!”

Yerim appears, smiling widely. It was not fine, so it was clean. It turned out that the other team members were relatively clean.

“Yerim! Are you hurt? Though it looks fine as if it's only been a day. ”

“No! I can turn up the water temperature now. So I washed in the middle. At the end, we warmed up the whole lake with practice. ”

It's the opposite of freezing, so he said he tried. It was hard to get to the heat, but the warm water was successful and Blue washed out while playing with the last boss monster. Our Yerim is very talented.

“I'm so glad you're okay. I've been worried sick. ”

“Oh, don't worry about it. There's nothing to it? Everything was easy to catch! ”

While Yerim confidently told me that he was safe, Yoohyun examined the other team members and sent them out first. After washing with warm water and resting, everyone came out, and it was so stable that they thought it was immediately after attacking.

Blue once put his head on me, too, and followed him out, making sure the gateroom was narrow.

“You'd be surprised how suddenly the dungeon has changed. ”

“A little, but I'll be fine in a minute. even though it took me a long time to get another layer up and out. Han Yoohyun left first! ”

Yerim stared at Yoohyun. If you tell me you're out three days early, I'll be in a hurry.

“Yoohyun also worried a lot about you. Don't you think?”

“I didn't do much. ”

... Hey.Let's just say he said he was poor. Yoohyun continued to say as he approached.

“If the dungeon had changed, I would have been disappointed. ”

Yerim smiled bitterly at what Yoohyun said.

“I'd be more disappointed if I did something worrying, Guild Master. How does it feel to see you in one piece? ”

“Blue was there, too, but really slow. ”

“Hey! I've never seen that before, so I caught it carefully! ”

Both Yoohyun who threw pinzan and Yerim who opposed him also looked comfortable. Yerim explaining about strange monsters and Yoohyun answering his question about it.

Seeing that made me feel weird. It's nice to see you, but you usually have a smile on your face.

Why can't I trust him like that? Is it because I'm weak? I keep remembering things like that, but... I wish I was stronger. Before the regression.

Even then.

‘… Brother, are you okay? ’

I hear voices. Not real, not... in memory. This can't happen yet.

This can't happen yet.

This one, not yet.

Something hit my jaw, my back. I seem to have stepped back inadvertently. I turn my head. I look up. He was looking down at me. Eyes meet. You look surprised. It seemed a little embarrassing, too.

The shoulder is grabbed and turned upside down.

“Bro?”

“Mister?”

Sunghyun hugged me. In front of my eyes, my face was completely covered.

“What is it? Give it to me! ”

“What are you doing?! ”

“You two look so good together and lonely. ”

Sunghyun said playfully.

“Chief Seung Gil, aren't your eyes wide open? Here, I'll give it to you for Han Yoohyun! ”

“Let's trade with Park Ye-rim Hunter. ”

“I like Han Yoo-jin, so I refuse. ”

The voices buzzed in my ears. It's different now. A lot has changed. What happened before the regression hasn't happened, and it's not gonna happen.

“Oh, he pulled out the chain! You want to do this? ”

“Even the Hae Yeon Dungeon will be fair if it breaks down. ”

“Years? Did you break things? What's so funny without me? ”

Yerim shouted as if it were unfair. He was grumbling, but his voice was bright. I swallowed my breath and pushed away the holy agent who was holding me. It's okay. You're gonna be okay.

“Don't tease them too much. ”

Sunghyun released me gently. I took a step back and laughed. I don't know if I could smile.

“Let's just finish what you came here to do. Yerim, have you ever felt a strange look in a dungeon? ”

“Oh, there was. Similar gazes, I felt distorted, I heard voices. ”

“Voice?”

“Yes. I'm sure it's not here," someone muttered. Then monsters that I hadn't seen popped out. just like when that big toad came out before. ”

Not here either, Rani. Are you looking for something?

“Until now, only me and the young lady have encountered a strange phenomenon. ”

Sung Hyun-jae said, "I checked with the other hunters who attacked the dungeon in the meantime, but no one felt the same gaze." It may not be a Class S Hunter, but the dungeon has not changed strangely.

“... Then you too. ”

“I'm looking for you, aren't I? ”

But not jellyfish. Moreover, there are only these three domestic Class S Hunters who have recently raided the dungeon. So the unidentified gaze may have simply been a glimpse of the Class S Hunters.

I also told Yerim what the new guy said.

“Be careful for a while. Be careful, Seong-hyeon. ”

“Sure."

After a short answer, a short silence flows and he turns quietly. I thought something else would get in the way, but I just left.

“Let's get out of here. Yerim, do you want anything to eat? ”

“Everything is fine now! Can't they make dessert any better? At first, it was worth it, but after three days, I wanted to go hungry. ”

I've never seen Yerim pay for a dungeon this long. Let's go eat something delicious, and I took my hands and walked. Warmth has been conveyed. It's okay with you guys.
