Episode 40
[Perhaps, this person, ‘Baldoje’, might be a wizard of considerable skill.]
[ Phew! ]
[ It’s also true that there are no swordsmanship-related movements at all, and if you look at it free from prejudice, the story becomes simpler.
Take off the frame called Inspector and you will see the movements unique to the wizard.]
[ Phew! ]
[ For example, this gesture is the basic movement for drawing a ‘rune’. It is an action that is no different from breathing, so if you are a wizard, it cannot help but be ingrained in your body. If you look closely at the 2 minute 31 second mark in this video… ]
[ Ah! Seriously, what are you talking about? Do I have to keep listening to this nonsense? X These rice-bag-wearing idiots say that everything they see is magic. They say everything is magic, what the heck? ]
[ Wow, a rice bag! It’s the official robe of Matap! It’s a luxury item that has a rare grade! ]
[ It’s a mess. It’s a mess. ]
[……Honestly, if you look at it in terms of physical strength, can you even keep up with the physical types? Even if you look at just one person here, you can’t even have a conversation. It’s not like I’ve put a beast or a savage in front of you.]
[ Huh, excuse me? Are you talking to me, you loner? ]
[ You were the one who struck first! ]
[ Let’s see if this is real! Hey! You’re screwed! ]
Beep beep beep.
[ Now is the time to adjust the screen . ]

Top ranker Gyeonjio’s guide to a proper life, No. 1.
He who works one day, rests one month.
Humans are animals that live in constant exhaustion.
Even breathing uses energy, so if you expend a lot of energy through work, you should know how to recharge properly.
“So? In short, you want to play and rest, but you don’t want to roll around like a corpse at home, so you called us out because you felt bad about your mother. That’s what I mean, right now. You have to cooperate with me while I rest.”
Geo answered firmly.
“huh.”
“Should I really beat this…?”
“Hey, Geo, is this just a day or two? Leave it alone. I’m a little hungry, should I order some toast? The toast from this place looks delicious.”
“I don’t like hot things. Shaved ice.”
“Kyunjo, do you have money?”
Geo answered confidently.
“no.”
“Just hit me once, please. Okay?”
“Hold on, hold on. Then I’ll order some shaved ice and some toast.”
Yang Se-do stopped Jang Se-na, who was clenching her fist, with a kind face.
[Your Covenant, ‘Reader of Fate’, advises you to be nice to your friends.]
‘Sister, are you not taking my side right now?’
[What are you talking about? This guy thinks about his baby all the time, whether he’s sleeping or awake.]
[He only has three friends, but he is worried that he will lose them and become lonely, so he sighs that it is so difficult for his child to have relationships with friends.]
I can feel the tiredness of parents in my presence.
Of course, that wasn’t wrong.
Because of the narrow and deep relationships between people, he only has three friends: the two in front of him and Seol Se-ra, who is currently absent.
(Yang) Se-do, (Jang) Sena, (Seol) Sera.
These are Gyeonjio’s only three Muggle friends.
These were poor lives that became entangled with each other because they went to the same kindergarten.
That’s why life is about picking well from kindergarten. Right.
“What did my mom want me to do with sending me to Saetbyeol Kindergarten? Oh my. Ah, eat it up! Oh my, why are you getting it in your mouth again!”
‘Jang Se-na, this area’s Jeom-soon is the best material……’
The hand that wipes the corner of my mouth feels very warm.
Yang Se-do smiled faintly as he watched Geo struggling with his head held.
“Take it easy, Sena. Geo must be sick. But what happens to you then, Geo? Transfer to another academy? I heard the Optimus one is closed.”
“Shut up! Is there anything that will trigger trauma? It’s fortunate that Kyeonjo was born with luck. If he got involved! It’s terrible, it’s terrible.”
“Luck is great, and our country is also great. Whenever there’s a crisis, it seems like a hero always appears. ‘Joe’ is like that, and this time, ‘Baldoje’ or that guy is like that too.”
“That’s right. You guys are really great. Oh, I told you not to fuss! Eat up!”
Jang Se-na made a face as she hit the back of that ‘Joe’ and ‘Baldoje’.
Geo muttered gloomily.
“……When is Sarah coming?”
“Again, again, I’m only looking for someone who likes me! I only want to hear nice things all the time!”
“When are you coming…?”
“I can’t skip it because it’s a major class. I’ll be there right after it’s over, so I’ll be there soon. Actually, Sena is also taking a major class today, but she just skipped it and came……”
“Yang Se-do! Why are you saying such things to someone who has never even set foot on the threshold of college!”
“Jeomsoon-ah… I don’t really like spring potatoes….”
When Jang Sena’s earlobes turn red at the sight of Geo’s hazy gaze towards the max-level tsundere.
Even a tiger will come if I call it.
Seol Se-ra appears as soon as the cafe bell rings.
And the long-legged beauty that Geo had been waiting for immediately threw an atomic bomb at him.
“Hey, I heard your little brother is dating someone these days?”
“I told the kids the story about Christina and Gyeonjirok earlier……”
“No, stop it!”
“If you’re talking about the scene where the Four Heavenly Kings of Jongno appear, then I have no idea about it……”
“No, not Bambi, but Geumgeum! I’m talking about your youngest, Geumhee! My younger sister said it looks like she has a foreign boyfriend.”
Seol Se-ra is the eldest daughter in a family with two daughters, and her younger sister is Seol Bomi.
As for Seol Bo-mi, she was the closest of friends to the youngest member of the Kyeon family, Kyeon Geum-hee, and was the best of best friends.
So, this means that the credibility of the story is 99.9%.
The spoon of Gyeonji-o who was eating shaved ice fell with a clatter.
People with the surname Kyeon have one powerful gene passed down to them.
It is something that exists in Gyeonjirok and is something that naturally exists in Gyeonjio.
Jang Se-na clicked her tongue as she looked at the frozen Geo. Oh my.
“The syscom button is broken.”
Name: Kyeonjio
Age: 20 years old, fast-growing.
(asterisk)(underline) Characteristics: Severe SISCOM patient.
‘Ah, what a fucking fucking Yankee bastard, you fucking punk……!’
My gold!
The hidden Siscom king of this area overturned the shaved ice bowl and ran out.
* * *
His younger sister, Geum-hee, could confidently say that she was Gyeon-ji-oh’s sore thumb.
Even for Geo, who has strong family ties, there are fingers that are particularly painful and nerve-wracking.
Of course, it wasn’t like that from the beginning.
Jian Jiao was a person born with very narrow boundaries, and to such a Jian, the position of ‘younger brother’ was a position that was already decided by the owner from the beginning.
A record of observations.
Her younger brother, born the same year as her.
In the first month of the same year, on January 1st, Geo was born.
Jirok was born on December 31st, the last month of that year.
The siblings, who were born the same year and even had similar names, grew up together like twins.
We shared the same memories, the same things, and were together for almost every moment.
What is commonly called an attachment relationship was formed perfectly and very strongly.
Since I have brothers who grew up like one body, I can’t help but feel like I lack something.
And just outside the tightly packed circle of Gyeonji-o, there was his younger sister, Gyeon Geum-hee, who was three years younger than him.
Geum-hee, who was born prematurely, was weak from an early age.
So much so that you have to cling to the superstition that giving yourself a rustic name will make you live longer.
As a newborn, I was always in the hospital, and even when I came home, I always needed my mother’s eyes and hands.
Thanks to this, the main responsibility for taking care of Geo and Jirok fell to their father, Gyeon Tae-seong, and after his death, they were raised almost entirely by the Eunsaja.
I didn’t get jealous or act childishly because my mother was taken away from me.
Because I wasn’t sensitive enough to feel that, nor was I lacking in interest in my surroundings.
However, when someone asked Geo if he had affection for Geum-hee, he became a bit embarrassed.
A younger sister who is like someone else.
Because that was the extent of what Geo felt about Geum-hee.
If only that day had not happened.
“Kyenjio, shouldn’t you go and see it?”
“Where?”
“Home. Your mom called earlier saying your little brother was sick. She told you to hurry up and go home.”
“Oh. But I thought you didn’t have to come.”
“who?”
“He said it was okay when I called and asked. He said it wasn’t necessary.”
This happened when Geo was thirteen and Geumhee was ten.
It was a time when I was having a lot of fun playing with my friends, and it’s true that Mrs. Park’s nagging only felt like a nuisance.
Even though his voice sounded a little bad on the phone, he’s always sick.
That’s about it.
It was an evening in my childhood that I took for granted.
“hey!”
It was when the sweaty, pale-faced Kyeonjirok came running towards me that I realized something was wrong.
“Fuck, you! You’re just trying to play a game, you……!”
Kyeon Ji-rok, who was so moved that he couldn’t continue speaking. The hand that grabbed Geo’s wrist was very hot.
The place Geo arrived at, led by rough hands, was the hospital emergency room.
It was in front of my younger sister, lying on the bed, panting with her thin, small body.
Acute pneumonia.
I almost died.
Geo was dumbfounded.
Is that all?
At that point, Jian Zhiou was already an Awakened One. Although young, he was the most powerful wizard in the world.
That thing can be completely cured with just a simple gesture.
Is pneumonia serious?
If only he could survive, he would have survived even with a corpse. He was that person’s younger brother, and he barely got pneumonia…
I almost killed this kid by not doing that easy thing.
“Are you okay?”
They said it was okay, so I really thought it was okay.
“You said you didn’t need it?”
I thought I really didn’t need it because you said I didn’t need it.
Mrs. Park didn’t blame Geo. But Geum-hee said.
I stared blankly at Geo standing before my eyes as I woke up.
“Are you in trouble because of me? Sorry.”
Young Geo realized.
“You… why don’t you call me unnie?”
Kyeon Geum-hee, who had been calm the whole time.
Geum-hee, who was younger than Geo, gritted her teeth at those words. She spat out something stale that she had filled up.
“How can I?”
“……”
“I’m not your brother.”
The younger sister’s words reeked of terribly loneliness.
Geo took a step back.
A weight that falls on my shoulders.
It was the moment when Gyeonji Oh finally became Gyeon Geumhee’s older sister.
