Episode 172
172. Meal
“Aren’t you Yamti?”
Yamti was quite surprised by Seo A-rin’s question.
‘I fixed my face, but how did you recognize me?’
I thought it wouldn’t be recognized because it was customized, but someone recognized it.
It seems like it was just a little bit modified.
“Right? Yamti.”
“… … .”
Yamti only looked at Ryumin’s thoughts without saying anything positive or negative.
However, Ryu Min attacked as if there was no need to worry.
“what? “Did you two know each other?”
“We met in another world. At that time, he introduced himself as a real-life acquaintance of Black Scythe… … .”
“you’re right. Yamti and Black Scythe know each other in real life.”
“No way, Ryumin too… … ?”
“no. I’ve never met him. Because he is such a secretive person… … .”
“Then I guess it’s really Yamti?”
Only then was Yamti able to relax and answer that question.
Because the master approved it.
“Haha, yes. that’s right. “I am Yamti.”
“They looked somewhat similar. nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, too. “Anyway, it’s amazing to meet Seo A-rin in real life.”
“Isn’t it even more surprising that I am an acquaintance of Black Scythe?”
Seo A-rin, who spoke with a smile, lowered her voice and expressed her desire.
“Hey, Yamti. If you don’t mind, could you please tell me Black Scythe’s contact information… … .”
“Excuse me. Of course, it’s more of a disgrace to Black Scythe than to me. “He doesn’t want to reveal his identity to anyone.”
“ah… … .”
When Yamti spoke with a straight face, Seo A-rin looked embarrassed.
“Then, can you at least talk on the phone for a moment? I have something to say… … .”
“sorry. They may be acquaintances in real life, but I don’t even know their contact information. First, a call comes from there due to a restricted calling number. That means a lot of caution. “Why, even in the CPF unit they would have covered their faces?”
“ah… … .”
Seo A-rin was convinced and disappointed at the same time.
-I wanted to meet you again in real life… … .
Ryumin, who read her inner thoughts, shook off his worries.
‘It was because I purely wanted to meet you rather than wanting to know my identity.’
I was worried that Seo A-rin would persistently ask about my identity, but there was no need to worry.
‘Well, even if I do that, my identity won’t be discovered.’
In preparation for this kind of situation, I informed Yamti of the countermeasures from the beginning.
What to say when asked about the black scythe in real life.
‘Luckily, you did as I asked.’
After reading Seo A-rin’s thoughts, I found that she was not doubting Yamti.
I just envy the fact that I can communicate with the black scythe in real life.
“But what are these two people doing in front of my house…” … ?”
“Ah, there’s something I’d like to ask Mr. Ryu Min personally.”
“is it so? Please come home first. “While you’re here, please have a meal with us.”
“Meal?”
“You didn’t eat dinner, right?”
“Yes, but… … .”
“Then come in.”
Ryumin opened the front door with a grin and looked at his younger brother.
“Is it okay if we have a few more guests?”
“huh? Yes… … .”
I can’t believe I have a chance to treat dinner to Seo Ah-rin, who I like.
Ryu Won was good, but at the same time, the burden increased.

Bubble Bubble-
When the boiling kimchi stew was finished, Ryu Won placed it in the middle of the table.
“Sir, I haven’t prepared much, but please eat.”
“There aren’t many. “Isn’t this a sumptuous feast?”
As Seo A-rin said, there were many side dishes on the table.
Egg rolls, stir-fried sausage and vegetables, japchae, stir-fried fish cake, and even kimchi stew.
It was a lot to prepare alone, but Ryu Won did it.
Instead, it took an hour and a half to prepare the meal.
Even that would have taken 3 hours if it weren’t for Ryu Min’s help.
“thank you for this food.”
“Where should we eat?”
Whoop-
Seo A-rin’s eyes lit up when she tasted kimchi stew.
“Is this something you copied from YouTube?”
“yes… … “Do you have any taste?”
“There isn’t any. “Is it so delicious?”
“Phew, that’s a relief. “I was worried what would happen if it didn’t taste good.”
It was only then that Ryu Won felt reassured by Seo A-rin’s sunshine-like smile.
“I didn’t know my little brother’s skills were this good?”
“Haha, if I don’t do it, I’ll do it?”
“Take this time to study for Korean food certification. “Don’t play games anymore.”
“Okay… … Ah Okay.”
The five people, Ryu Min, Ryu Won, Seo A-rin, Ahn Sang-cheol, and Yamti, finished their meal in a warm atmosphere.
“It was good, Won.”
“Thank you, sister.”
Ryu Min, who was looking at Yamti and Ryu Won, asked in surprise.
“what? “When did you guys stop talking?”
“Ryu Min was going to the bathroom earlier. Hehe.”
“We have a bit of an age difference, but I can’t keep treating you with respect, bro.”
“Won, are you dissing me now because I’m older?”
“Oh, no, sister.”
When Ryu Won, who was laughing, went to wash the dishes, Yamti immediately got up from her seat.
“To wash the dishes? Let’s do it together. “I will help you.”
“I will help you too.”
Seo A-rin tried to get up, but Ryu-min stopped her.
“Leave the cleaning up to those two. “We have something to talk about, right?”
“Ah, yes.”
Seo A-rin and Ahn Sang-cheol followed Ryu Min into the living room and sat on the sofa.
“Would you like to hear what you have to say to me?”
“Prophet. It’s none other than that I met a gangster named Hwang Yong-min today… … .”
Ryu Min calmly listened to Seo A-rin’s story.
“So, Hwang Yong-min can’t be searched?”
“yes. To be precise, it says that this person does not exist. Do you know anything about this… … .”
“It would be literal. “It doesn’t exist in this world.”
“yes? Well, then the person I saw was really a ghost… … ?”
“Where are the ghosts in this world? Moreover, I heard that not only the actor but dozens of people witnessed it.”
“that’s right. “What happened?”
“Hmm.”
Ryumin, who was deliberately pretending to be worried, came up with an excuse he made up during the meal.
“There is nothing I can do when it comes to this. “I will tell you everything.”
“yes? what… … .”
“Hwang Yong-min is already dead. But he was resurrected as an undead by someone.”
“Yes? Uh, undead?”
“… … .”
Although their reactions were different, both people were surprised with their eyes wide open.
It wasn’t because I didn’t know the meaning of the word undead.
I was just surprised that undead existed.
“Some players have a profession that can even revive corpses. Hwang Yong-min was resurrected as an undead. This is why I told you not to touch Hwang Yong-min… … “It looks like someone touched it.”
“her… … Revived as undead. Who on earth would do that… … .”
“I don’t know that either. “I saw it as a prophecy, but I only saw the back.”
Although it was a lie, there was some truth in Ryumin’s words.
There is actually a profession called a necromancer who controls the undead.
Although warlocks also use the undead, their concept is only to summon them, and they are completely different from necromancers who raise corpses.
Shaman was more inclined to blow up corpses.
‘Only a necromancer can make a corpse move like a healthy person. But you can’t make him talk like Hwang Yong-min.’
That was different from Hwang Yong-min, but it didn’t matter.
The important thing now was to convince Seo A-rin.
Fortunately, Seo A-rin believed Ryu Min’s lies.
“So, I guess I met some kind of zombie?”
“You could say so.”
“Oh, that’s creepy.”
While Seo A-rin was rubbing her arms, Ahn Sang-cheol asked with a curious look.
“Prophet. Is that necromancer a player from our country? “What level is it?”
“I don’t know the details.”
“Will his presence pose a threat to us in the future?”
“well. “Wouldn’t it be dangerous to have them as enemies?”
He said he didn’t know, but Ryu Min knew.
The presence of the necromancer will be an obstacle in the future.
‘To be exact, it would be an obstacle to the Four Gods Church.’
Even though he knew that fact in advance, Ryu Min did not get rid of the guy.
Because I was planning to take advantage of that obstacle.
‘There must be darkness for the light to look brighter.’
No one saw the corners of Ryumin’s mouth slightly turn up.
* * *
After Seo A-rin and her group left, Ryu Min approached his younger brother and patted his shoulder.
“great job.”
“Haha, what?”
“Are you good at cooking?”
“At this point, I think I’ll follow my brother’s advice and get some qualifications. “I found out that it was fun to make and that I was surprisingly good at it.”
Ryumin laughed as he saw his younger brother giggling, but it wasn’t because he was happy.
It was a smile to hide bitterness.
‘It’s a certificate… … It’s a luxury for me right now.’
No matter how great a player is, in the end, their life is at stake.
If you don’t pass 20 rounds, your life is over.
In the meantime, study for certification and plan your future?
It is an act that cannot help but be seen as a luxury for the player.
‘okay. My life is fine no matter what. ‘My role in the last episode is to create a world where even my younger brother, or just my younger brother, can live a normal life.’
To do this, variables must be eliminated as much as possible and executed as planned.
Dalkak-
Ryumin returned to the room and lay down on the bed, thinking deeply.
We checked our future plans and looked closely to see if there were any variables that could interfere with it.
‘Could Seo A-rin’s existence be a variable? no. I’m too deeply involved at this point. ‘Getting rid of her is rather a variable.’
I knew that Yamti and Ryumin were close, but that doesn’t change anything.
If you stick to the fact that you can’t contact Black Scythe like you do now, there won’t be any questions or suspicions.
After reading my inner thoughts, I realized that too.
‘Then what about Ahn Sang-cheol and Jeffrey?’
Since Ahn Sang-cheol is always by Ma Kyung-rok and Seo A-rin, it is easy to read their thoughts.
In other words, it means that if something happens, it is easy to deal with it.
‘But not Geoffrey.’
Just like last time, he is a person who doesn’t know where he will end up.
He is also a thoughtless person who moves emotionally when it comes to things related to Christine.
‘Hmm, I hate annoying flies.’
At that time, I was checking each and every person who could be a threat or a disruption.
I received a call from Ma Gyeong-rok.
-Prophet. This is CEO Ma.
“yes. “What’s going on?”
-Do you have time tomorrow afternoon? Jeffrey, whom I saw before, and the person who will become my father-in-law are coming to Korea to meet the Prophet. It looks like he wants to apologize for what Jeffrey threatened him with earlier.
‘Jeffrey and Nathan are coming?’
It seems like he understood the seriousness of the matter because he came to see me in person to apologize over the phone.
“All right. What time are you scheduled to arrive tomorrow?”
-I think I will arrive at Incheon Airport at 3 PM.
“Then would you please tell me to meet you at a nearby cafe at 4 o’clock? “I will take a picture of the location.”
-yes. I will do that.
After finishing the call, Ryumin immediately called Yamti.
“Yamti. How many positions are left to dominate now?”
-The Chairman of Plseba and the Chief of Police are in control, so there are three seats left.
“good. “It would be okay to use one space.”
-What’s going on?
“I’m planning to meet Jeffrey and Nathan tomorrow.”
-Are you trying to apologize?
“You have to meet to know that. so… … .”
Ryumin raised one corner of his mouth.
“You should stay with me, just in case.”
