Episode 295
295. Have a good time.
Seo A-rin on the bed tossed and turned.
I haven’t been able to sleep lately.
It’s because I have a lot of random thoughts.
And the cause of those random thoughts was none other than the black scythe.
‘Black Scythe was a prophet… … .’
When I found out that Yamti was an acquaintance of Black Scythe, I was honestly jealous.
Because it was Seo A-rin’s wish to meet in real life at least once.
‘But we were already meeting, right? Also as a neighbor.’
Did you say that it is dark under the lamp?
There was a black scythe living right below, and I had no suspicion whatsoever.
The Prophet and the Black Scythe were different people not only in appearance but also in personality.
Of course, the black scythe was just the prophet’s claim.
‘But it didn’t seem like he was lying. He also showed me the evidence.’
I saw the transformation with my own eyes.
He also demonstrated the Black Scythe’s speaking style that he knows.
If this is the case, how can you not believe it?
‘The Prophet is definitely Black Scythe. surely… … .’
It was the way he spoke, the feeling, and the black scythe he knew.
I can be sure of that much.
At that time, a feeling of anxiety suddenly occurred to me.
‘for a moment. I guess I didn’t make a mistake with the Prophet? If that were the case, it would be a big deal… … .’
Seo A-rin, who suddenly became anxious, frowned and pointed at her temple.
I thought back on my past actions to see if I had been rude to the prophet or showed an ugly side to him without realizing it.
‘As far as I remember, he wasn’t rude. Fortunately, I don’t think I made a mistake.’
Seo A-rin let out a small sigh of relief and pulled the blanket up to her chin.
Perhaps because my mind was filled with only thoughts about the black scythe, I suddenly felt ashamed.
‘oh my god… … . The more I think about it, the more it comes to mind… … .’
In particular, the fact that I lived next door made my heart pound.
Anyone would do that if the guy they liked lived just a few meters away.
‘I miss you. I’m going crazy to see it.’
My heart pounding, unable to calm down, seemed to be resolved as I fell asleep without realizing it.
But as soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, the black sickle came to mind again and tormented my heart.
‘ah… … I only slept four hours.’
After rubbing her eyes and washing her face, Seo A-rin naturally opened the refrigerator and ate the sandwich she had bought at the convenience store yesterday.
After drinking a quick meal with milk, I sat down on the sofa in my pajamas and turned on the TV.
It was something I did out of habit because I thought there was nothing better than TV to get rid of random thoughts… … It was a mistake.
There was a broadcast on TV about the black scythe.
[Currently, there are only 143 players left around the world, right?]
[That’s right. At the end of the 18th round, the number of players that was 900 million was only in three digits.]
[Not long left.]
[yes. However, many players say that even this has survived. I was able to survive this much thanks to the black scythe.]
[It looks like the Black Scythe is quite active in this world?]
[From what I heard, yes.]
[From what I heard? What does that mean?]
[This is because we ordinary people who cannot go to the other world have no choice but to completely believe the words of the players who have returned alive.]
[So what help did the players say the Black Scythe was?]
[They claim that Black Scythe is helping as many players as possible, both materially and physically, in advance, so that they can survive, such as assisting in making items or finding out and informing them of strategies for the next round in advance. They say it is a miracle that 143 people survived thanks to this. In short, he is leading the group and fulfilling his role as a leader.]
[So to speak, he is like the savior of the players?]
[you’re right. It’s not just players. We cannot ignore what Black Scythe has done for the common people. Clearing out the IS organization in Nigeria, maintaining CPF domestic security, eliminating coup players, blocking monster summons in the 16th round, etc. There is already a record of saving countless ordinary people.]
[When I look at the list, it’s huge. How are citizens reacting to this?]
[Of course, he is treated as a once-in-a-century hero. According to a public opinion poll, the statistic that players are a social evil rose up to 79%, but now the negative perception has improved a lot to the point where it has dropped to 5%. Even if other players don’t know, he has built up a lot of recognition to the point where he knows the nickname Black Scythe.]
[okay. However, it is said that the identity of the black scythe that achieved this great feat is still unknown.]
[That’s right. It is said that no one knows his face because he always appears in front of the media wearing a white mask, perhaps because he feels uncomfortable revealing his identity. All that was revealed was that he was over 180cm tall and had bronze skin… … .]
Seo A-rin, who turned off the TV, muttered as if pointing out.
“It’s not. It looks like it’s all made… … .”
For her who knew who the Black Scythe was, the noise on TV couldn’t help but be scary.
‘I just started thinking more and more.’
The TV I watched to try to forget about the black scythe made me think more.
Now I really want to forget about the black scythe.
I want to erase it from my mind.
But suddenly this thought occurred to me.
Why should I delete it?
Why do I have to suffer like this?
‘I don’t know. ‘Why should I do that?’
If you want to meet, shouldn’t you just meet?
Are you trying to erase the black scythe from your mind because you did something wrong?
There’s absolutely no reason for that.
‘meet… Shall we see?’
Seo A-rin, who shook off her worries, eventually decided to meet Black Scythe.
Since we are neighbors and know each other well, it won’t be awkward.
Aren’t you already like your younger brother and sister?
When I thought about that, I felt like my complicated mind was being cleared up.
However, a new problem emerged.
‘What excuse should I make to visit you?’
Even if you were just acquainted, you still needed an excuse.
You can’t just knock on the door because you want to see the black scythe, right?
‘Now that I think about it, I was told that I had moved here before, right?’
Not only that, I even ate at Ryu Min’s house.
Of course, the meal was prepared by his younger brother, not Ryumin, but he was treated with food, but he was not repaid for it.
‘good! At that time, I used work as an excuse to make food and visit him.’
Since we’re neighbors, you probably won’t look at me strangely if I tell you I’ve made some food for you.
After organizing her thoughts, Seo A-rin let her imagination run wild in her head.
I could see Ryu Min liking the food I made before my eyes.
That alone filled my heart and made me smile happily.
the problem is… … .
‘right… … . ‘I don’t know how to cook, do I?’
The only thing Seo A-rin had ever made during her lifetime was ramen.
Because I usually satisfy my hunger with delivery food or convenience store food.
‘Oh, what should I do?’
Seo A-rin’s expression became sullen, like a puppy getting wet in the rain.
* * *
Biri- Ding dong dong dong-♬
At the sound of the doorbell, Ryu Won looked at his brother sitting on the sofa.
“Hyung, did you have it delivered?”
“no.”
“I didn’t even order delivery, who is it?”
On the wall pad screen, there was a woman standing with a shy face.
In an instant, Ryu Won’s expression brightened and he hurriedly ran to open the front door.
“Noona Arin!”
“huh? “Oh, it’s a circle?”
“What’s going on at my house? “Did your brother call you?”
“Oh, no. I wanted to tell you this… … .”
Seo A-rin shyly held up her shopping bag.
“is it so? Come in first. come in.”
Ryu Won let Seo A-rin in as if the items in the shopping bag were of no concern.
“who is this?”
Ryu Min sticks his head out and sees Seo A-rin being pushed back by her younger brother.
“Actor Seo?”
“Oh, hello. Mr. Ryumin.”
Even though it’s not the first time we’ve met, Seo A-rin’s face as she greets him is extremely awkward.
It didn’t take long to figure out what she was up to.
For Ryumin, who had a high intelligence stat, the speed at which he could read the mind was only a split second.
‘I came because I wanted to see you…’ … ?’
That was the only purpose of Seo A-rin’s visit.
I simply want to see the black scythe in real life.
Without realizing that her emotions had already been read, Seo A-rin hesitantly held out a shopping bag in front of Ryu Min.
“Take this.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a cookie. I made it myself at the homemade cookie experience center, and it’s still warm because it hasn’t been long since I made it. “Try some.”
Although he already knew the reason, Ryu Min pretended not to know and asked.
“Why this… … ?”
“that… … You’ve received a lot of help from the Prophet before. Plus, I ate at home, so… … .”
“sister! I cooked the meal for you back then. But are you only giving me my brother?”
“Oh, no. “I made a separate one for you, too.”
“Oh, really?”
With an excited look on his face, Ryu Won looked for a cookie with his name written on it in his shopping bag.
Ryumin also looked surprised as he looked at the neatly packaged cookies.
“Did you make all of this?”
“yes… … It helped me a little, no, a lot. lol… … .”
“Thank you, I will eat well.”
When Ryu Min spoke with a grin, Seo A-rin smiled and then slightly turned her head.
He looked nervous, afraid that his true feelings might be revealed because of his red face.
I didn’t even know I had already been caught.
“Well, there’s something we two need to talk about… … .”
“Then let’s go to my room. Won, eat first.”
“Okay, bro. Arin, if your brother tries to do something strange in his room, please call me. “Did you know?”
“What man? “There’s nothing this guy can’t do.”
When Ryu Min tried to throw a back smash, Ryu Won looked cold and waved his hand.
“Oh, it’s just a joke. joke. Hi-Hi.”
“I’m sorry, actor. “I will apologize on your behalf.”
“Oh, no. “I’m just kidding.”
I knew it was a joke, but Seo Ah-rin even turned red to her ears.
Ryu Min eventually brought Seo A-rin into the room and asked as soon as the door was closed.
“Tell me about it. “What do you have to say?”
“Prophet. No, Black Scythe. “What happened?”
“What?”
“This time I received a text message from the Four Gods Church. I heard you didn’t get information about the next round? Really?”
Ryu Min, who was contemplating whether to tell the truth, made a decision.
“Actually, I have information about the next round.”
“yes?”
“But I couldn’t tell the truth because I thought it would cause confusion if I told people.”
“iced coffee… … .”
“All I can tell you is this much. Please understand that I can’t even tell Arin.”
“Oh, I understand. It’s okay if you don’t give me any information. “Just considering the help I’ve received so far is incredible.”
Seo A-rin nodded and Ryu Min asked again.
“Anything else you’re curious about?”
“Ah, um… … .”
I wanted to say more, but I couldn’t think of anything else to say.
“hmm… … that is… … .”
Seo A-rin, who was racking her brain and trying to find something to talk about, soon opened her mouth.
“Come on, try the cookies. “I want to see your reaction.”
“Haha, yes. “Let’s go and try it.”
That’s when Ryumin came out of the room smiling.
Clap-
My younger brother was opening the front door.
It seemed like someone came to the house and opened the door.
“Brother, a guest has arrived.”
“who?”
Ryumin looked out the front door and saw a familiar face.
“Minju-ri?”
“Min-ah. I was at home… … .”
Min Joo-ri’s expression, which had been waving her hand happily, hardened in an instant.
At that moment, I saw Seo A-rin coming out of the room with Ryu-min.
“ah.”
Fearing that there would be some misunderstanding, Ryu Min looked at Seo A-rin and explained.
“Actress Seo Ah-rin came a little while ago… … .”
But Min-ri Min went out the front door without even listening.
Just one word.
“sorry. have a good time.”
