00320 Reunion %26 Return ——————————————— —————————=
“It’s a city! “You’ve really entered the city!”
“I survived! We survived! He lived… . Ugh… . Ugh… .”
The moment they entered Eden, users cheered as if the city was about to leave. Among them, there were people who collapsed and cried, but they were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy at returning alive.
What was initially expected to take 3 to 4 days ended up taking 3 to 4 weeks. I never expected things to turn out like this, and it was my first time seeing a city in a long time, so I couldn’t help but feel new. No, there was something I had to take care of as soon as I arrived, so I secretly summoned Go Yeon-ju.
“Go Yeon-ju. “What happened to that?”
“yes? “That one?”
Go Yeon-ju opened her eyes round at first, but when I stared at her, she soon smiled brightly.
“iced coffee. Equipment? Of course I took good care of it~.”
“As I walked in, it looked like some of the clothes were worn by users.”
“yes. There was so much equipment that even though we packed it in as tightly as possible, there was no room left. So, I packed everything I thought was good, and decided to go with the rest of the damaged but usable items.”
As Go Yeon-ju said, I looked at the users who were congratulating each other with my third eye. Although she had a good sense of vision, she still didn’t know.
After quickly checking the equipment information, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no particularly good equipment to be seen.
I thought about the small rewards promised to users. As she said, most of her equipment was damaged to the point where it seemed a bit harsh, but it seemed like if she could just repair it, she might be able to use it to some extent.
‘It seems like it’s too late to come and receive it… . Should I just give away the things I’m wearing… ?’
Just as I was thinking that, Go Yeon-ju spoke to me carefully.
“Su-hyun. If you are worried about compensation, I have an idea… .”
“yes? Ah, yes. “Tell me.”
“Why not just ask them to take what they are wearing now? Wouldn’t people be very grateful then? ?”
Judging by the way he slightly raised his eyebrows as he said the last word, I could tell that he had similar thoughts to me.
The capture of the vagabonds, especially Baek Seo-yeon, was clearly an event that could sweep the entire northern continent. Since I am at the center of this incident, Mercenary’s name will naturally become known. And, the rescued users would also help spread such rumors.
In short, what Ko Yeon-ju was saying was to create positive awareness by providing equipment that would not be of any immediate use anyway as compensation.
I was well aware of the ripple effect of rumors being spread through word of mouth, so I immediately nodded.
“yes. “Then you said you did that and found gold coins and jewels?”
“yes. Not that many. Less than 500 gold coins and about 20 gems?”
“Please leave the jewels and give away the gold coins. Please speak reasonably well.”
“Ho Ho. Okay.”
Go Yeon-ju smiled prettily and answered.
I immediately turned around and saw Go Yeonju running towards the users, and then I walked towards where the clan members were gathered. To be exact, the goal was Shin Jae-ryong with his clan members. Of course, I didn’t forget to check his information again on the way.

‘It seems like the clan has disbanded… . ‘This is fine.’
Although it wasn’t eye-popping user information, it could be considered satisfactory enough. More than anything, I liked the personality. Moreover, since the Mercantile Clan is currently short on priests, I thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit them.
“Shin Jae-ryong.”
“Ah, Mercenary Road.”
When I spoke to him through the clan members clinging to him here and there, Shin Jae-ryong responded with a gentle smile typical of middle-aged people.
“You must have had a hard time recently… . “I am truly grateful that you participated in the rescue team.”
“haha! You say all kinds of things. I just acted according to my beliefs. And I owed something.”
“okay. Anyway, I feel a little bad about just breaking up like this. Do you have any plans for the next time? ?”
“Oh, nothing in particular is being held.”
Shin Jae-ryong calmly shook his head and answered, as if he hadn’t found a suitable spot yet. In that case, since I had nothing to hesitate about, I opened my mouth with full self-interest.
“Then, I would like to invite you to the Mercenary’s Clan House. “I have something special to say.”
“ah… .”
Shin Jae-ryong was also an active user on Hol Plain for four years. As if he immediately understood the meaning of my words, he looked slightly dazed and answered in an awkward voice.
“ah… . yes. All right. “Then when can I come visit you?”
“Haha, it’s okay not to feel too pressured. “Now that we’ve talked, it’s okay if you stay overnight today.”
Shin Jae-ryong would need time to think, and I had no intention of forcing him to join. Only then did he calm his panicked mind, and he looked much more at ease.
“Su-hyun! “The conversation is over.”
At that time, I heard Go Yeon-ju’s voice behind me. When she quickly turned around, she was looking at me with a confident face, as if her story had gone well.
“Thank you for your hard work. “What did you say?”
“Everyone looks satisfied. No, actually, I’m not satisfied with it. I even gave you a gold coin, so you looked like you were going to bow down?”
“You’re exaggerating greatly.”
“Really… .”
It’s a temple. In a situation where you lost almost everything in a raid, the compensation I give you will feel like sweet rain during a drought.
When I turned my gaze to look at the users, I could see them standing hesitantly. However, upon seeing Jo Seung-woo bowing deeply, he responded by nodding his head.
With this, the equipment problem was resolved and the recruitment of Shin Jae-ryong was concluded. Now all that was left was to return to the clan house.
However, before that, there was one last person to say hello to.
“Suhyeon.”
‘They say even tigers will come if I tell them.’
I smiled brightly and turned around to see my older brother standing tall. His brother came up to me and tried to put his hand on his head, but then he suddenly changed direction and put my hand on his shoulder.
“okay. “What are you going to do now?”
“To go back to the clan house. “It’s been empty for too long.”
“hmm. Okay, I thought well. Since you have the status of clan lord, you probably have a lot of things to worry about.”
“uh… . uh? “Yeah, right.”
I stared at my brother with a new heart. I thought they would immediately make a fuss, saying they would take him to the Hamill Clan House and protect him, but it was an unexpected reaction. For some reason, I felt regretful.
You don’t know if you know how I feel. His brother grinned, took his hand off his shoulder, and he looked behind me and opened his mouth.
“I want to have you next to me, but… . I can’t help it because Soohyun is also in a similar situation to me. Please take good care of your younger brother.”
“Ho Ho. I always get help from the clan lord. Rather, don’t worry, we will do our best to help you. Hamill Road.”
“haha. Lord Hamill, you speak too harshly. Anyway, it was nice to meet you this time. “I think we’ll see each other often in the future.”
“It was an honor to meet you too. Please take care of me in the future.”
‘W-what is it?’
My brother and Jeong Ha-yeon exchange kind words with each other. When I was about to become dumbfounded as I saw the two lightly holding hands, my brother, who had finished shaking hands, gently grabbed me and dragged me away.
“Suhyun. “Would you like to talk for a moment?”
“huh? huh.”
As if there was something he wanted to talk about alone, the older brother took about ten steps and opened his mouth.
“I think I put a lot of thought into it while organizing the rescue team this time and during the process of returning to the city.”
“What are you thinking?”
“I think you too are an adult now.”
“Of course… .”
“huh. But from my perspective… . Should I say that it’s a bit disappointing but also fascinating? It seems like just yesterday that you were showing off in front of me wearing your middle school uniform… . “You’ve grown up so much that there are people who follow you and people who want you.”
‘brother. ‘That was when I was on Earth, and this is Hall Plain.’
I felt like I was slightly confused by the words that were out of focus. However, because his tone was unnecessarily serious, I suppressed the urge to tackle him and listened.
However, what my brother said next hit my mind even harder.
“Oh. Now that I think about it, I see that woman named Jeong Ha-yeon. “You’re the woman who saved my life, right?”
“uh. however?”
“We talked a few times on the way here. It was really good. “My brother agrees with Jeong Ha-yeon.”
“what?”
‘What are you in favor of?’
When I opened my eyes wide with excitement, my brother tapped my shoulder as if he knew everything.
“She seemed like a person with sound thoughts, and she was a woman who cared deeply about you more than anything else. Anyway, you’re all grown up now, so I can’t tell you to do this or that, but I like her older brother.”
“… … .”
“In particular, his speaking skills that did not fall behind even an inch towards Lee Hyo-eul were outstanding. Yes, it should be like that.”
The moment I looked back at Jeong Ha-yeon at the words I didn’t understand at all, I was finally able to understand what he was saying.
Jeong Ha-yeon seemed to be in a very good mood and was smiling brightly. And around her, she could see Go Yeon-joo biting her lip and Ansol holding his fern-like hands tightly.
“… “I’ll just go now.”
“huh? Ah, that’s right. But let’s have lunch together… .”
“No, it’s okay.”
I flatly refused and then sighed deeply.
I thought to myself that I couldn’t understand how they could be so clueless even though they were brothers.
*
After briefly saying goodbye to the users who were with us on the way back, we immediately used the warp gate. There was a lot of attention from users as they dragged all the vagabonds away, but as a result of just focusing on a quick return, they were able to arrive at the clan house within 30 minutes.
“Wow, we’ve finally arrived.”
“Black. I missed you so much… .”
While standing in front of the main gate and listening to the sounds of Go Yeon-ju and Ansol coming from behind, I suddenly had an idea and looked back at the tramp. They had not uttered a word since they were reunited with the rescue team. But even without hearing anything, I could guess how they felt.
Baek Seo-yeon, Lee Ga-in, and Lee Hae-in were showing their inner selves with dead faces, while the remaining four were looking around the city with extremely nervous expressions and unfamiliar eyes.
I quietly stared at the tramps, then opened my mouth with a slight chin twitch.
“Start.”
““““───. ───. ───. Paralysis.””””
At the same time, the sounds of wizards’ spells were heard. Paralysis is generally not a very high-level magic, but the effect can vary greatly depending on the user’s magic power level.
Moreover, 70% of the current vagabonds were no different from ordinary people as their magic circuits were damaged. Perhaps that was why the vagabonds who were hit by the paralysis spell collapsed helplessly.
Eventually, while watching the clan members knocking down one by one, I opened my mouth while holding Baek Seo-yeon’s body, which was holding a loud performance.
“Go Yeon-ju. Sorry, but I have to go to the store for a moment. We need a deterrent.”
“are you okay. But if it’s a suppressor… .”
“Please buy only three sets of good quality. “For store use, 20 gems would be enough.”
“all right. But it seems a bit heavy to carry alone… .”
As Go Yeon-joo spoke in a drowsy voice, I immediately turned to An Hyeon and spoke.
“Ahn Hyeon. “Follow me.”
“Thank you, brother!”
I don’t know what he was thankful for, but Ahn Hyeon threw the bum he was holding at Lee Yu-jeong and cheered. Lee Yu-jeong was wheezing and trying to grab her bum with her free hand, but she quickly stopped herself. Shin Jae-ryong listened to her on her behalf.
Go Yeon-ju looked at An Hyun with a disapproving look for a while, then turned away, pouting her lips.
After confirming that the two soon disappeared beyond the busy street, I approached the front door of the clan house. I felt the presence of two people behind the door. Jeong Ha-yeon said she sent a message to Baek Han-gyeol, so he’s probably waiting for her.
I slowly opened the front door. And that was the moment I took a step inside.
“Kyuu!”
At that moment, along with an unfamiliar sound, something shiny and silvery sharp darted into me.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hmm. There is one thing I would like to ask the readers. The covers drawn by Sylvester so far include Seraph and Go Yeon-ju. Aside from the two above, are there any character covers you would like readers to see? (It hasn’t been confirmed yet.) If you have any, please leave a comment. We’re thinking about using the most popular comments for the next cover. I would like to ask for your advice. _(__)_
1. Usain Bolt: Congratulations on first place. haha. You’ve gotten your first feel for the nose. Please let me know too. One of my wishes is to come in first place during the midnight update. 😀
2. Separation of powers: Haha. I’m also planning on getting Chaos Mimic. If you take it with you during war, you will see good results.
3. Debaran: Thank you. I’m a little scared about my grades, but I plan to try my best.
4. Kurosion: ☆.
5. Kaedongi: Modification completed. thank you _(__)_
6. Mongu Hunter: The invasion sequence goes from small western town -> normal city -> Barbara. We are now in a situation right before the general city attack.
7. Pineiro: Yes. It was established that even the great Marvolo was unskilled in mind manipulation. However, it would be against the setting if Vivien were able to control the other person’s mind. I don’t know if it’s a soul commander. 🙂
8. Dahit: I have now received part of the first proof copy. I’m thinking about adding 19 now. haha.
9. Dopican: Yes. I plan to come up with a method soon and make it happen before a full-scale sortie. 🙂
10. Duplicate nickname: Sure. Vivien is never nice. When he thinks about the first things he did… . And the same goes for tendencies. 🙂
Thank you for always reading. Your recommendations and comments are of great help.
I hope you can always read my writing with a comfortable mind.
Selection, recommendations, comments, criticism, and questions are always welcome.
