Fight! Fighting!
A dark rainy night. I lay in bed without turning on the light and looked out the window.
The window frame soaked in moonlight was shining brilliantly, and raindrops occasionally fell, hitting the window and running down. Because of the dark clouds, about half of the moon was obscured, but it was still a nice sight to see. I love rainy days.
“Su-hyun… .”
A quiet yet faint voice is heard quietly. As I turned my gaze to the side, I saw a pair of blue eyes staring at me. I could see the blue hair scattered on the bed, a neat nose, and beautiful lips.
I took a small breath as I looked at his sage-looking features. The slightly cold morning air flowed in.
“yes?”
“You know today… .”
“yes… .”
“… “It was so good.”
After finishing speaking, Hayeon smiled shyly, like a newlywed on her first night. She was a little excited because she said it was today, but I guess she was nervous for no reason. I also smiled softly and slowly hugged Hayeon.
Hayeon did not accept it obediently. She suddenly grabbed my arm and interrupted my path. Then she slowly climbed up the bed and hugged me into her arms. Then, for a moment, she became irritated for no reason and started tossing her head around. However, Hayeon soothed me gently and just held me tightly so that I would not fall from her arms.
“Yes… .”
Soon, I heard a very satisfied moan and looked up, and saw Hayeon quietly closing her eyes. I followed suit and closed my eyes. And following Hayeon’s lead, I buried my nose in her soft breast. The infinitely cozy milk tomb exuded the sweet scent of flesh and seemed to whisper a lullaby. It was then.
“Su-hyun. “I have something to tell you.”
Just as I was about to fall asleep. My eyes widened at Ha-yeon’s tone, which was no longer languid but clear and clear. Sleep fled in an instant.
I didn’t answer right away. After thinking about it for a moment, I slowly stretched out my hand and touched Hayeon’s stomach. Then this time, Hayeon’s body twisted this way and that.
“Now, just a moment. Su-hyun!”
“I don’t like it.”
“Well, don’t touch there. I said I didn’t want to go there, but why do I keep… . iced coffee! Oh my. really… .”
“… after.”
I sighed lightly. When I rubbed the area just below my belly button, I felt a smooth, but not skin-like texture. It was a very small jewel that Hayeon had engraved on herself a long time ago. Every time Hayeon touched this part, she felt very embarrassed.
In fact, the reason I touched it so suddenly was because I was saying something that I didn’t want to say. However, the fact that he left me alone so that he could touch me like this means that I want to say something in the end. As I touched the small jewel, I quietly opened my mouth.
“Are you talking about Ahn Hyeon?”
“… yes.”
“I just wish I didn’t do it. no. “I just hope Hayeon doesn’t care about Ahn Hyeon anymore.”
“but… .”
But, hearing those words, I hugged Hayeon’s waist tightly. So thin, so thin. How much mental suffering must it have been like to take on that difficult position with a body like this? Suddenly, I felt sorry and pitiful, and I whispered in a quiet voice.
“Hayeon. In a world like this. In a world where it is difficult to take care of oneself. “I know very well that Hayeon has suffered more than anyone else so far.”
“What a hardship. no. If you think about it that way, Soohyun… . “You must have had a much harder time than me.”
“It’s a position I wanted, but it’s not Hayeon. I’m sorry I made that decision today. However, I hoped that Hayeon would get some rest. “I wanted to let go of all my burdens now.”
“… … .”
“And now I wanted to take care of myself… . So now, I hope you can forget everything for a moment and get some rest.”
“Su-hyun.”
“ah. Don’t worry about Hayeon’s reinstatement. First, after I’ve cooled down enough, I can somehow… .”
“Su-hyun! Today, Hyeon cried in front of me. The child shed tears. I fully understand Soohyun’s feelings. But please listen to me. yes?”
Even after all this talk, it looks like he’s going to end up talking about Anhyun. I clicked my tongue once or twice, then got out of Hayeon’s arms and raised my upper body.
My heart felt tight. After tonight, I won’t be able to see Hayeon for a while. Therefore, at this moment, I wanted to share only good words and not painful words.
Eventually, as I leaned against the wall, my appetite suddenly became bitter. Perhaps that’s why the next words had to be in a hard tone, not a soft tone.
“I will take care of Anhyun’s affairs. I also have my own thoughts. “I didn’t just make that decision out of thin air.”
“Su-hyun. I know. I’m not saying that Soo-hyun’s decision is wrong, nor am I asking you to look after Ahn Hyeon. therefore… . sorry. Let go of your anger.”
Hayeon followed me, raised her upper body and gently leaned forward. He wasn’t angry. No, I didn’t mean to do it. I gently closed my eyes and opened my mouth quietly.
“… Ahn Hyeon is a horse.”
“yes.”
“I am basically sincere. And it’s okay. Even now, it is doing enough for one user. Although he does most of what he is told, he sometimes shows insight that surprises me. He’s the type of guy who, if he just thought and acted a little more, he could do much better than he does now.”
“I think so.”
“But I felt like this was an incident in the Mountains where the Dragon Sleeps. “Ahn Hyun is clearly heading in the wrong direction.”
“Wrong direction?”
In response to Hayeon’s question, I silently nodded my head.
In fact, if you look at this incident from a different perspective, you might be able to understand Ahn Hyeon’s thoughts. I always took Ahn Hyeon with me and repeatedly ordered her to act proactively. Of course, there may be a separate reason for An Hyeon’s independent movement, but it would be roughly in a similar context.
What if the area you entered wasn’t the mountain range where the dragon sleeps? Even if I don’t know how to praise it, at least I wouldn’t have done it this way.
But the problem is that Ahn Hyeon accepted the request for the mountain range where the dragon sleeps, even going so far as to disobey the orders I gave him.
From this incident and Ahn Hyun’s appearance, I was able to recall someone from the first episode.
It was me. It reminded me of myself. In the first episode, I led countless colleagues, including my brother, to death with one wrong choice.
It was like that. As much as I had to experience that miserable situation, I couldn’t just leave Anhyeon like this. That’s why this extreme drug was prescribed. I hoped Ahn Hyeon would know himself a little better.
“yes. The incident a year ago was the same, and this incident is also the same. That doesn’t mean they didn’t give you a chance. But nothing improved at all. If we keep going like this… . One day, you may have a major accident. “It’s an incident that could endanger everyone’s lives.”
Was there some sincerity conveyed? Hayeon didn’t say anything for a while. Then, as the raindrops hitting the window gradually became heavier, I heard a low but polite voice.
“Suhyeon… . “What do you think of your uncle?”
‘Ajubeobnim’ refers to the older brother. I don’t know why I suddenly brought up my brother, but since I knew Hayeon’s personality, I opened my mouth quietly.
“I like. “He is someone I always believe in, trust, and rely on.”
“is it so. But that’s it. “It’s the same for Hyun.”
“… … .”
“Hyun went through the rite of passage with Su-hyeon and has followed him since his days at the user academy. To that extent, Hyun also likes, believes in, trusts, and relies on Su-hyeon. “For Hyun, Su-hyeon is that kind of person.”
“No matter how much it is. And what does that have to do with this… .”
“Think of it as a station site. “How would you feel if you heard those words from Soohyun’s uncle?”
I closed my mouth at those words. And then I thought about it. Of course, I know what my brother means, but it would be a lie if I said it didn’t hurt at all.
But, I snorted.
“This is Hall Plain. “If you go astray with something like this, you end up being the only user who can do that.”
“That’s not what I’m saying. Su-hyeon has something he wants from Hyeon-i, and if Hyun-i lives up to Su-hyeon’s expectations, they will be able to meet each other with smiles. It’s not like we’ll ever see each other again, right?”
“… so. “What do you want to say?”
“Once the order has already been given, it cannot be taken back. But I think we need to watch over it and give it some breathing room as it is good at least a little bit. I want to help Hyeon feel for himself and walk his own path. “I want to create that kind of situation.”
Watching over you and giving you some breathing room? You create that kind of situation?
Soon, Hayeon gently took my hand and opened her mouth softly.
“I will try. It’s not that I’m going to comfort Ahn Hyun or take care of her. Just give me one last chance.”
Finally, I turned my gaze and looked at Hayeon. Hayeon’s face still had an unknown earnestness.
After looking at Hayeon for a while, I let out a quiet sigh.
Still dark night. The sound of rain hitting the window was particularly strong.

next day.
The rain seemed to fall like crazy in the early morning, but as soon as the morning sun came up, it stopped as if it had never happened.
The sky is blue. The surrounding air was a bit humid, but the garden below had a sparkling water color due to the raindrops that had fallen overnight. I stood on the terrace and looked down at the front door of the Mercenary Clan House.
“Hayeon, unni! “I’ll go out often!”
“Anhyeon! Don’t be too upset! “If you do well, we will see each other again!”
Hayeon and Ahn Hyeon, who were just about to leave the front door, calmly turned around when they heard cheering. Hayeon still had a calm face, and Ahn Hyeon looked gaunt. As Hayeon said, it seems like she was going through a lot of emotional distress.
still. At least for now, both seemed impressed. Even though it was early in the morning, all the clan members were up and watching the two leave. Even Vivian, who sleeps a lot in the morning.
In fact, there were some who said that they were kicking him out too quickly(?), but it happened anyway and it was also an expression of his own will. Any Mercenary Clan member would probably have fully understood the meaning of the decision I made this time.
I was lost in thought for a moment as I watched the scene of them saying their final goodbyes.
The words I shared with Hayeon last night. As a result, I ordered Hayeon and Anhyeon to be transferred to the same area. Originally, they had planned to transfer to different regions, but in the end, they accepted some of Hayeon’s words last night.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to do well, but I thought I’d wait and see.
Some time passed. Now that they had said goodbye, Hayeon and Anhyeon started walking again.
After a while, the front door slowly began to open. The two users turned and walked towards the front door with calm steps. The two of them leaving the entrance looked somewhat lonely. On the terrace, where the cold wind flowed, I watched them leave until the end.
It was then.
“… hmm?”
An Hyeon, who left the front door, suddenly turned and raised his head. Suddenly, I felt a subtle gaze. Although he was far away, Anhyeon was clearly looking up at me. Instead of avoiding it, I looked down at Anhyeon.
Then, suddenly, Ahn Hyeon slowly bowed down.
Eventually, as soon as the door closed completely, I could see clearly. Ahn Hyun bows 90 degrees towards me.
“… … .”
I took out a piece of tobacco and put it in my mouth. He then lit a fire and burned it, staring at the closed front door for a long time.
After a while.
As the candles burned and the clan members entered one by one, I calmly entered the office.
Finally, it was time to turn around and close the window leading to the terrace.
bang.
widely!
Just as I closed the window, I felt my heart sink. This is because, following the sound of the window being closed, a subtle sound was heard.
I don’t know what the sound is, but one thing is certain: it is definitely not a window sound. It was an obvious noise.
Suddenly, saliva ran down my throat. No matter how mesmerized you are or how much you don’t use your magical power detection, there is something called a sixth sense. It is a sixth sense that I have honed over 10 years. In that case, did you come in hiding to avoid my sixth sense?
Leaving behind my disbelief, I quickly turned around and stared at the door. And it was that moment.
“Su~hyun~!”
Suddenly, a s*xy voice is heard. At the same time, someone hugged me. Gray hair was flowing in front of my eyes.
Even as I unconsciously hugged him, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Someone said it was a high performance.
Ko Yeon-ju seemed to have no idea about her age, as she hugged me tightly and started rubbing her cheeks frantically.
“Su~hyun~. Su~hyeon~. “I really, really missed you.”
“… me too. But why didn’t you show any sign? “I was really surprised.”
“Ugh~. Ugh~. I’m sorry~. For the past two months, I’ve been living like I used to. “I developed a habit without even realizing it.”
“Now, just a moment. Okay, just wait a moment. Stop rubbing. “I mean, I haven’t even washed my face yet.”
“Really?! Well then! Hmm!”
“… … .”
Does he think he is a dog, or rather, Ansol? No, it’s not that kind of image, is it?
Anyway, while I felt embarrassed, I was also glad to see Go Yeon-ju’s timely return. Then, suddenly, the first noise I heard made me think. The door does not appear to be open and is still closed. But what kind of noise was it? I reflexively looked at the desk.
Then I could see two marbles lying on the desk. It was a crystal ball. Although it was fine, it was a crystal ball that shed light slightly different from an ordinary crystal ball. Then I suddenly realized who I was, and I frowned slightly.
“That… .”
It was a crystal ball for video recording.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
Yoojin Ro: Reader? (Knocks) Do you wanna write a Yeoncham?
Reader: Go away, Ro Yujin!
Ro Yujin: Okay, Bye… .
Q1. Do you plan to use Anhyun in the shadow war?
no. It’s not like that. It is true that Ahn Hyun undergoes mental maturation, but there are no plans to use it in the shadow war. There were doubts about whether Ahn Hyeon would do well as a child who grew up in a sunny area, and he also seemed out of place.
I think Ahn Hyun’s maturing process is a bit more typical, and the story that goes along with it has already been written. Since Hanbyeol is my second favorite character, I plan to pay some attention to it.
The story to be told from now on is not focused on Soo-hyun solving the case and punishing the criminal. This is for faster progress, and if you are astute, you will know that the case is almost solved. I can’t tell you much at the moment. However, this part focuses on the process of Su-hyeon adapting current events to her own tastes.
Q2. When is Iron Mountain coming out?
I said this before starting Part 2. Part 2 picks up the story two years after the completion of Part 1, and will take place just before the Steel Mountains. Here, the word “just before” refers to the moment before the current concept, not the moment before the actual content.
As two years have passed, a lot has changed. The reason I included the part about the mountain range where the dragon sleeps and the shadowy area related to it is because I wanted to slowly tell you what things have changed over the two years of serializing this part.
So, let me give you a summary answer. After the dragon-sleeping mountain range and shadowy part, there is a rest part (opening of the castle, magic city Magia, etc.), and after that, preparations for conquering the Steel Mountains begin.
I hope this is a sufficient answer. 🙂
