Boom! Boom!

The drops of water falling into the rain gradually diminished the ground. The rising sun was still floating in the middle of the sky, but whether it was going to rain a lot, a small round liquid was pouring down from the sky.

When the ground was a little dusty.

An-hyun was looking at the pond where there was a weak ripples. After being dragged out of the conference room, this was the pond.

But are they really looking at the pond?

My eyes are blurry. I look at the pond, but I don't see it.

His mouth is slightly opened. I can't think of anything.

No, before that, we don't even know why we're here.

Only the raindrops that were sitting on my head were oozing, pouring down into a single stalk that passed through my eyes.

I did. Ahn Hyun was still staring at the pond.

But not just one thought leaves an empty head, it continues to echo.

'Number one. At this time, I will not accept Ahn Hyun as a member of the Mercenary Clan.'

'Number two. Collect any equipment you have received as a clan member. Still, I admit that I've done my part, but I'll admit that I own a rare class founder.'

'Number three. I will order the demobilisation of An-hyun, the employee, to the Monica branch.'

'As I said before, I will not be objected to this decision. That's it.'

Four declarations that end with 'That's it.'

Each of the declarations was like the death sentence Kim Soo-hyun gave to Ahn. Probation, not probation. No longer a member of the Mercenary Clan, the equipment has been confiscated and can no longer be in Monica. It was actually the same word as expulsion.

Kick out of the mercenary.

Who would have expected An-hyun to leave?

It was an unbelievable declaration as Ahn Hyun.

It started when I entered the rites of passage.

Followed from user academy.

After the caravan, he was there when the Mercenary Clan was founded.

I have been with Kim Soo-hyun for the longest time, the longest time than anyone else.

He will.

No, so maybe it's even more unbelievable.

The fact that he was abandoned by the person he trusted the most.

The fact that I can't even look at cold eyes now, not with warm eyes.

Suddenly, Ahn Hyun's gaze at the conference room wrapped around his face with both hands.

It was then.

“I was wondering where.... ”

“ ……? ”

A low, calm voice that comes to mind. I wonder if it's Kim Soo-hyun, Ahn Hyun who thought that way quickly turned around. Let's do it.

Boom!

A little pocket flew in front of Ahn Hyun. Tak feels a heavy weight as he embraces the chaos. An-hyun touched her pocket for a moment, then stared at me dazed.

“You're trembling here alone. Thunder-naked.”

Therefore, unlike what I expected, the person standing in front of Ahn Hyun was not Kim Soo-hyun. Sharp carry-ons and neatly groomed, sparkly haired hair. It was Heo Joon-young.

An-hyun, who just opened her mouth, suddenly realized that she was holding her neck. Once or twice, Ahn Hyun opened his mouth blurrily.

“Brother... This is….”

“A little gold and jewelry. I heard they kicked me out for nothing, so the clan members were sneaking around Clan Road. ”

“Oh, no. This... ”

“Then you can take it back. Anyway, I made sure. ”

The last thing Heo Junyoung said was to turn around like a knife. But just before taking a step, he turned his head in a slightly smaller voice.

“... or just put it in your arms. I didn't put that much in anyway. ”

“… Thank you. ”

“Hmm. Then…. Oops, I forgot one. Sangmin and Nono were looking for you. I want you to go for a walk. ”

“Yes?”

If it was Sang-nam and Nono, they were married users who managed the Mercenary's restaurant. Because the food was so good, Ahn Hyun often used it, even if it wasn't time for dinner, and he was in such a friendly state.

Ahn Hyun rebelled, but Heo Jun-young was already walking forward like the wind. Distance becomes distant in flashbacks.

An-hyun looked away for a long time. Then, by the time it was completely out of sight, I put the bag in my arms. And slowly, very slowly, I took a step.

“Ha, I still can't believe it.... Employment, equipment confiscation, demobilisation to Principal? You don't have a branch there, do you? Queek is the only tavern or inn I've got. ”

“Yes. In fact, he's not just a user, he's not a user to be treated like this. It's like saying," Get out of the money store. "”

Soon after opening the door and entering the lobby, several voices flowed into Ahn Hyun's ears. I raised my head far away. The lobby board had a record of today's meeting results. And a couple of clan members are hanging around and talking.

“And Ha-yeon is also transferred.... At least you're on probation. Clan Lord, isn't that too harsh? No matter how much I think about it... ”

“Oh, my God. You're hilarious too. You said you'd be disappointed if you skipped town in the morning. ”

“Oh, who would have thought it would be so terrible? Actually, I was annoyed by this case, but I didn't dislike him as a human being. He was my favorite. ”

“That's right. I feel so sorry for you when this happens. I, too... Brother, brother! ”

Then, she quickly stopped speaking to An-hyun, knowing that she was there.

An-hyun immediately turned his head. Then I turned in a reflective direction and took a quick step into the right corridor. I heard a faint sound, like calling his name behind my back or clearing my throat, but Ahn Hyun never looked back and walked into the restaurant.

The dining room table was empty. Even if it's not the time for dinner, there may be a snack or two, but I don't see anyone.

Only a pair of men and women are standing near the kitchen and gesturing to Ahn Hyun to come this way. Then I feel drawn to the gesture of my hand. Soon after seeing the food filled with the prize, Ahn Hyun's eyes touched.

An-hyun had to try very hard to calm down somehow. A man with sad eyes and cool features, and a woman with a seemingly discreet but realistic appearance, looked at Ahn Hyun with a warm smile.

The man's name was Sang-nam, and the woman was called Nono. Of course, his name wasn't really Nono, and everyone was calling him Nono because they wanted to be called that.

Nono twirled his knife with a rose symbol on it.

“I heard the news. I heard you got out this time. ”

“Oh, honey. ”

He smiled and paid attention in a polite voice, but Nono blinked his eyes with a puzzled face. It was an attitude of what he had said wrong. Soon after Sang-nam looked at him, Nono shrugged his shoulders, rethinking his appetite.

“Anyway, Joonyoung seems to have told you well. I told him to eat as much as he wanted before he left. He was the second customer to visit our restaurant after Vivian, so I wanted to provide this kind of service. Hehe.”

An-hyun smiled faintly at the four-year-old word.

“Thank you…. By the way, where's Yerin...? ”

“I'm sleeping soundly. Speaking of which, open your face, man. There's no mackerel on the horse... ”

“Haha…. ”

“Phew. How did this happen? You…."

Nono asks with a curious face, but he stops immediately. It's because Sang-nam once again grabbed Noh's arm. Soon, Jigsaw's head was shaken open with a heavy voice.

“I made it something you usually like. I wish I could eat and cheer up. ”

“ ……. ”

“Don't hesitate to contact me if you think of any occasions. Either you go in person or I'll tell you when there's no clan road. Haha..."

“ ……. ”

An-hyun didn't say anything because she was always warm. No, I didn't.

Soon after Sang-nam quietly withdrew, the restaurant was completely empty. An-hyun is alone in this huge restaurant. Seeing the food that was full enough that I thought my upper leg would be broken, Ahn Hyun sat down as if it had collapsed. Then I suddenly looked down at the table.

How long has it been?

After a long time, Ahn Hyun's hands, which had stopped, began to move slowly. And I slowly moved my hands towards the foods that I used to eat. Little by little, An-hyun began to realize the reality of the car.

After today, we have to go to Principal tomorrow. No more clan members, no more equipment, no one to turn to. That made me feel empty and helpless.

One spoon, two spoons, three spoons, four spoons.

I was teasing the spoon mechanically, but I didn't feel any flavor. It was definitely the usual food and the taste was the same. However, it was too complicated for An-hyun to eat with a mouthful. The slowly approaching burden overwhelmed my whole body's senses.

An-hyun, who put food in backwards like that, suddenly realized that no more food was added. My mouth is full and my throat is full.

However, when I forcefully shoved the spoon in my throat, my eyes suddenly opened up and my tears started to ring. What I had been patient with for a long time fell down a stalk. It wasn't raindrops.

An-hyun reached out and grabbed the cup and took a sip. After the collar moved three or four times, Ahn Hyun vomited and buried himself. In the meantime, the stalk that flows through the cheek stretches and leaves marks.

Are the tears coming out now crying or are they sore throat?

An-hyun, who asked herself, stared up at the ceiling dazed. A faint stream of light is shimmering. I closed my eyes and many thoughts passed by my head.

The meeting started without any time to calm down. Kim Soo-hyun's gaze. An indescribable declaration. The gaze of the clans. The stories that surround them. All of this comes into An-hyun's head and goes down.

And that was the moment.

'In addition, Ha-yeon is also transferred.... At least you're on probation. Clan Lord, isn't that too harsh? No matter how much I think about it...'

When I remembered what I heard in the lobby, An-hyun's eyes closed wide.

“Hayeon's sister transferred...? ”

He wasn't standing alone in the middle of the meeting room. Ha-yeon, we were standing together. However, my head had turned white since I first heard the Declaration, so I didn't even realize how I got out of the meeting room. Ahn Hyun was not caring about the two of them.

Thoughts were long, but actions were swift. An-hyun hurriedly got up and left without delay. A private laboratory on the third floor or a lodging where Hayeon usually goes. Among them, An-hyun chose the main office on the third floor.

“Huff! Huff! ”

I ran out of breath and went up the stairwell. Soon after opening the door of Hayeon's private laboratory, Ahn Hyun stopped walking like a lie.

Ha-yeon was also alone in a private laboratory. A calm face as always. However, there is a rather large bag in both hands. There were magical books on it. There were research devices on it.

The lab that was always neatly organized was suddenly empty.

“Oh my. Is the string here? ”

Soon, when Hayeon turned around and laughed, Ahn Hyun had to feel breathless. It's because the expectation came true. Guilt and self-loathing swept away like waves for some reason.

After just looking at it for a while, Ahn Hyun stepped inside the twist. And he said with a stammering voice.

“Sister, why are you...? ”

“Huh? Ah. I have my transfer orders, too. That's why I was packing. Hoho. A lot of them, by the way. Are you here to help... ”

“My sister... You're not my sister...! ”

“ ……. ”

Hayeon naturally spoke. However, after Ahn-hyun's young shout, he shut up for a moment. Then I lifted my clear eyes and looked straight at Ahn Hyun.

An-hyun said. No, she shouted.

“I did it, I did it wrong. It's always my fault! Then why did my sister...! ”

“No, it's my fault, too. ”

“Sister!"

“Hyunah.”

Ha-yeon gave a soft voice, but lightly cut off An-hyun's words. And he smiled a little and said,

“Stop acting like a child. I took Soo-hyun's place and allowed your request. Once the commission is stamped, no matter what the circumstances, it can't be denied. ”

“But…. ”

“What in the yard...? That's it. Don't worry about me. Just worry about you. I'm still Clan One, and the equipment's intact. Better than you, at least? Hoho.”

“Ha…. ”

After saying that she was fine with it, she started packing her bags. An-hyun looked around with a face that he didn't know what to do, and then he bit his teeth tightly. Then I asked the rest of the group, thinking crazy and in a bad mood.

“Consistently. Consistently?! ”

“Consistently? He's on probation. But unlike you, it's just probation. But he said he was on probation and that he needed to take care of her. He must be very unwell right now. Severe sequelae can lead to mental illness... ”

“… What, what? Whew, sequelae? Psychopathy?”

“Yeah. I heard a little bit about how the soul was once plucked out and then put back in. Anyway, I'm worry.If it goes wrong, I have to take care of it for a long time.... And you didn't know? ”

I didn't know the exact circumstances. It was a city when I woke up, and I was almost immediately evicted as soon as I got back.

She carefully packed her bag and placed it lightly on her desk. Then Ahn Hyun's words stopped coming, and he tilted his head and turned his gaze toward the door.

And then, I could see.

She looked at Ahn Hyun and slowly reached out her hand with a slightly surprised face.

“Hyun you…. Did you cry or not? ”

An-hyun was crying. His mouth was tightly closed, but tears were pouring out of his eyes. Tears that leaked out a little bit in my eyes were poured out with enormous shock with the words I just heard. As An-hyun left An-sol as his younger brother, the shock of An-hyun was unthinkable.

Finally, an idea began to rise slowly from the inside of Ahn Hyun.

It was not an unreliable denial of reality. It was not a grudge against Kim Soo-hyun. It was not a trivial concern about the future.

That's it.

“Why would I...? ”

I wonder why I did it.

“What are you... ”

I wonder what he's done now.

The nature of the problem arose from the inside of Ahn Hyun.

I was no longer confined to individuals.

What you've done. And what the consequences of that behavior were.

An-hyun, I finally realized.
