Thus, when the battle between Ahn Hyun and Reason is slowly approaching the termination station.

“Was he that strong? ”

Namdaemun, who was dipping his foot in the central waterway of the castle's garden, tilted his head.

Remaining was watching the battle between Ahn Hyun and Reason from the beginning. It wasn't because I was particularly interested, and I was just passing by the garden and I saw him struggling. Why, you know what they say. Fighting XBob is more fun to watch.

However, when I opened the lid, I felt the need to correct my thoughts.

The reason was just what I thought, but Ahn Hyun is different. Instead of swinging your feet at each other's discretion, you react calmly and calmly. The user reads all the opposing Pokémon's numbers and knows their weaknesses. Of course, there's nothing awkward about the word "post-sword."

“Ahn Hyun the user has definitely grown. ”

Suddenly, a strong and calm voice spoke.

“And it's still growing. From what I hear, they train without missing a day. ”

Soon, someone carefully sat down next to her. A firm yet smooth calf plunges into the water. I could find a smile with a slight smile left in my eyes.

“It's a little hot. Will it be okay?”

“… of course. I didn't rent it out. ”

Crack, the two women nod lightly at each other. And together we began to watch the duel.

“You've been practicing without fail for a day? ”

This time, he opened his mouth first.

“Yes, in the North, in the Steel Mountains, in Atlanta. It's amazing how hard I work, and sometimes I teach it without knowing it. ”

“I don't know... But that movement is completely overwhelming. Was it always that different? ”

"I think Ahn Hyun has reached a point in the Steel Mountains. I saw it for myself. ”

“Aha. In that case. By the way... ”

One. A common slang used by proximity users who have reached a certain level, meaning a total of days. Since it is not a dog or a cow that can climb, the difference between a user who has refined his or her abilities and a user who has not done so must be distinguished.

He nodded his head to see if the question had been resolved.

“Is Ahn Hyun the third year this year? I bloomed in the second year.... Fair enough.”

“Hehe. I bloomed in the early third year. … Hmm? Almost done. ”

He smiled quietly, and his smile flashed. The two women focused their eyes at the same time.

The battle was almost over, just as Shaolin said. More precisely, since Ahn Hyun initiated the action.

“ ……! ”

The moment Ahn Hyun raised his spear, the reason why he was running like crazy suddenly fell into a strange sensation.

It felt indescribable. Suddenly, the world stopped and a ringing tinnitus rang in my ears. I only stabbed the spear once, but my whole body seems to be tied to a chain. No. Is it accurate to say you can't keep up with how to move? In fact, Ahn Hyun's strikes were moving in a straight line, breaking and silencing all the movements of the reason.

I caught the end of the spear in front of my eyes. Immediately, a dazed light flashed into the eyes of the justification for trying to escape in a hurry. An-hyun was coming in where he was about to retreat. I just saw it coming from the front. What's going on?

It was the same situation as the pit fight. An Hyun runs from the left, front and right at the same time. Ability of 'spear shooting’ to be expressed in conjunction with ‘New Year's Day’. A change based on explosive acceleration causes an illusion that Ahn Hyun is divided into three people.

At least Juhyun chose to eliminate all three, but the reason was not that high. Above all, Ahn Hyun-ho did not realize that he hit the window in the air at that time.

There is no turning back, no turning back.

The only reason for this now was to stop walking and open my eyes wide.

Boom.

Finally, the spear descends from the air and the right shoulder of the reason settles down concurrently with a dull sound.

That is not the end. A three-way vision strikes the left shoulder, abdomen and thigh in succession. This attack continues for a short period of time, causing a big swing and a broken leg each time it is attacked. It's a relief that Ahn Hyun would have split his head in the first blow if he had used his power.

Pussy!

In the end, the cause collapsed and announced the end of the battle. A clean defeat without a word. It was so futile compared to what we thought was rival to each other. The difference between the user who struggled to endure pain and the user who rested at some point was dramatically revealed in this duel.

Soon, Ahn Hyun, who lightly breathed, looked down. The reason for the fall on the floor is crouching all over and trembling like an aspen. Suddenly, the shivering mouth that caught my eye barely seems to hold back the screaming. Then I felt a little sad, but Ahn Hyun was not sorry at all. Even if I thought about it a hundred times, I could not forgive the things that the reason did. Besides, he's no one else's brother.

Pair, mate, mate, mate.

After a while, a light applause followed. Kim Soo-hyun, who was watching the battle on one side, clapped his hands.

“It's over, An-hyun. Congratulations."

“Thank you."

“Anyway, I'm sure you've surrendered. As promised, the reason is to fall by one level. ”

“ ……. ”

“An-hyun, you go and get a priest and heal him. ”

“… Got it. ”

The outcome of the original battle was almost certain. Kim Soo-hyun said in an indifferent voice and turned away.

An-hyun slowly looked at Kim Soo-hyun's back with complex eyes, and teased her for a quick walk. I looked at the clear reason in the middle, but I did not intend to feel bad or comforted. Even though Ahn Hyun was blunt, he knew that he was only hurting the pride of reason, no matter what he said.

In the place where Kim Soo-hyun and An Hyun left, only the reason why they fell was left alone.

Suddenly, the tremor subsides, but the confused gaze still does not disappear. Only two Katanas that were slowly separated and spread out on the ground caught my attention.

After that, she continued to fall down without being moved until An-hyun called a priest.

Tuck.

Tuk-tuk.

I guess it wasn't just because I felt stupid today. Suddenly, a cloud appeared in the sunny sky, and a small raindrop began to fall.

As the fierce wind blows past the castle, the raindrops that have just begun to fall scatter.

That day.

The reason became the first clan member to fall in rank after the implementation of the rating system.

*

The implementation of the grades certainly brought a great resonance to the machine. It's hard to see good resonance. Not many clans are dissatisfied with their rank, and many have actually come to see them. I was out of line.

Of course, it is not too soon to be resolved. I was going to take the time to keep a positive eye on this change until it settled down. because we actually saw the movement of change.

It was a minority, but it wasn't that there were no clan members who accepted this rating. Some people came to me personally and told me various stories. I started thinking and acting on my own, not by making them move anymore.

Among them, the story of friendship surprised me a little.

“You want to revive Joe the Wanderer Killer? ”

“Ah. If you'll excuse me. ”

Jung-min denied Joe the need to kill the vagrant. I wasn't wrong. All users oppose vagrants, and hatred grew deeper after the war two years ago. When I heard a rumor that I had caught a vagrant somewhere, I clapped my hands and was glad. After catching the White Seo-yeon who was also a vagrant versus an executive, my reputation has greatly improved.

If a friendship does something similar, it will directly lead to a rise in the reputation of the merchandise.

“Well, okay. I'll allow it. That's a great idea. ”

“Also…. Oh, yeah? ”

I guess he thought he was too easy to get permission from. She stares at me with her eyes that I was confused.

“... Are you sure? ”

“Of course. They might have been empowered while they worked their asses off attacking the Steel Mountains." It's time to subdue them. ”

I didn't just give you permission, I had my own beliefs. ‘Red Fang’ Friend, who cut off the history of the user and the vagrant in the first place. Knowing the past, I don't think I'm a better fit for killing vagrants than a man in front of me.

“Anyway, good idea. Then why are you suddenly thinking this? ”

“Huh-huh. I'm sick of Sun-un boasting so much. I'm a little jealous to see you being treated with an S class. ”

“Oh no. Was your grade too low? ”

“No, not at all. It's true that you've been resting. And even if you put me on the F list, I wouldn't have any complaints.... This is serious. ”

Friend smiled quietly to see if he felt better about what he had been given. I laughed quietly too. Grace is like the sea, vengeance like a blade. Jung-min was presently demonstrating this proverbial behavior.

“And in fact, it was Seon Yoon who spoke first. He asked me to speak up, because he will help you. ”

“Mmm-hmm. User propaganda will help you. Then tell that to the rest of us. No one hates a vagrant more than me. ”

“Oh…. There's nothing to be afraid of if the swordsman will join us. And…"

“ ……? ”

It was then. Suddenly, a lump of water appeared on her face. There was only one time that she made this face.

“By the way, how is Won Hye-soo these days? ”

“Well…. I've been there.”

“From what I hear, there doesn't seem to be a problem. ”

“… that's the problem. ”

When the story of Won Hye-soo came out, the voice of friendship settled. I thought about it for a moment, but I opened my mouth soon.

“I'm sure there's something in my chest. But it won't unravel. I wish I'd blown it cool once, but I don't. They seem to be stacking up as normal as possible. It's the same with kids. ”

“... child problems? Be a mother... ”

“I do. It's not like feeding or crying doesn't take care of you for a little while or anything. But no one will be too reluctant to see it. ”

“Hmm…. ”

“Actually, it's not just stress at all. I try to think she's really my kid, but she just keeps looking for her mom. No, I get it. Yeah, she's growing up, but of course she wants to see her mom. However, Hye-soo... ”

“ ……. ”

Friend who spoke unusually quickly, eventually shook his head without finishing his speech.

“What am I saying to you.... I'm sorry. I thought I wanted to complain somewhere. Just pretend you didn't hear that. ”

“No. I guess I shouldn't have asked. ”

Jung-min smiled bitterly and woke up.

“Anyway, thanks for letting me. Then we'll get it ready and come back soon. ”

And I immediately turned around, but I stopped because I didn't take a few steps.

“Oops. You didn't tell me this. They called you from the temple. ”

“Huh? At the temple? ”

“I saw a villager come up from the first floor. I said I'd do it for you, but I forgot. ”

“Aha... ”

I immediately got up. It's because I thought I knew what they were calling me about. Perhaps the reward for completing the rescue quest is now confirmed. I hate to see an angel, but I still need to be rewarded.

I thought that way, after Friend left, I simply prepared and left the room. And as I was about to walk down the stairs, I could see a girl coming up the stairs with a small receipt. It was Mar and Dodo.

“Dad!"

I climb the stairs vigorously to see if Mardo has found me and make a big smile.

Is the radish that good? I silently opened my mouth as I looked at the pointy ears that were twitching.

“Yes, you're dry. Where have you been? ”

“Dodo and I were on our way to see my dad! ”

Mar raises the baby Pegasus in two hands. Dodo opened his mouth wide as soon as he saw me and began to slam his teeth.... This guy?

“But where are you going again? ”

No, where are you going again? I feel like I'm being stabbed in the chest for some reason because I'm talking with a clear face like that.

“Huh? Ah... Haha. I need to see the temple for a minute. What do we do?”

“Temple?”

However, Marty did not lift a finger, and asked again with a sparkle in his eyes. Now I start to move gently to the wings of my back as well as my ears. What's wrong with him all of a sudden?

“Dad, in that case, Can I come with you? ”

“What are you doing in the temple? ”

“Just…. I want to go out with my dad after a long time.... ”

“… and? ”

“I want to see my mom again... Hehe.”

“ ……. ”

Mar speaking with a smile in the bathroom.

But I suddenly felt a sinking feeling.

“Mom...? Ah.”

At the same time, I felt like I was in a bad mood. Apparently, it was uncovered without being able to hide. It was a fleeting moment, but her face was stiff and the light of disappointment in both eyes touched her.

Even though I have tried hard to smile, it is an oppressive smile that is different from before. My ears were limping while I was busy.

“I'm sorry. Dad. I'm asking you too much... ”

“No, no. It's okay, and... ”

‘That angel is not your mother.' I was going to say, but I decided to quit. I'm still expressing my anticipation, but I can't wait to speak so cruelly. One thing is that it's growing like a storm, but Mar is just a child.

“... I'm sorry. ”

“Dad, I'm so sorry. ”

“I'm fine. You want to go back to your dad? ”

“Yes... ”

After gently patting Mar's head, who only kept saying sorry, I slowly went down the stairs.

As I went down, I felt guilt that I did not know what I was going to do, but I couldn't help it. Seraph is not Marv's mother. Moreover, I told you to stop bothering me because I don't have anything else to bring from my recent visit.

Yes. I really didn't intend to take Mar to the Summoning Room anymore.

By the way...

‘... She keeps looking for her mom. No, I get it. Yeah, she's growing up, but of course she wants to see her mom. ’

Why does it come to mind that it overlaps with Marty's wrinkled face?

‘Dammit. I shouldn't have listened... ’

Eventually, I stopped walking. And as I climbed down the stairs as quickly as I could, I could still see the murky back of Mar walking down the hallway.

“Marya...! ”

When I shout a little louder, Marty stops walking and slowly turns his head to look at me.

“Together…. Want to go?”

At the same time Marga opened the eyes of the rabbit.

“Yes! No, yes! ”

The tip of the wings facing the earth rises to the sky.

Mar ran like a dog and held me in his arms.

All the way to the North Continent, I said, "Dad, best.” I love you, "Dad.” I could hear it.

After a while.

The moment I entered the temple, holding the shrine of the shrine that was rubbing against my elongated chest, I finally entered the Summoning Room.

“I've been waiting. Long User…? ”

I realized one surprising thing.

“Mom!"

Seraph, who saw Marv, opened his eyes wide.

“Er... Ah...!"

The wings that flowed quietly flourish without cause.

... I think they look the same when they're surprised.
