MEMORIZE Chapter 545

00545 To the Steel Mountains! ————————————————– ———————-=

Hyemi Pyo, a member of the Mercenary Clan, has been a user of Hall Plain for a little over two years. She is 22 years old. Her class is ordinary wizard. Her other characteristics are that she is a woman with a slightly fair (?) face and a lively personality?

In a way, Hyemi Pyo can be said to be the number one user of Mercenary Table. Her decent grades at the User Academy caught the eye of Jeong Ha-yeon, who was her instructor at the time, and her decent magic sense and potential were recognized, allowing her to receive an offer from the Mercenary Clan.

Pyo Hye-mi, who joined the Mercenary Clan, went through a half-year apprenticeship and is now actively working as an official clan member.

Of course, Hyemi Pyo is also very satisfied with her daily life. She is not too greedy and faithfully follows what she is told. Although revealing her man is a bit of a flaw, it is not a big problem in the sexually open world anyway.

Then one day.

A small change occurred in the daily life of Pyo Hye-mi, who was working hard as a cog in the mercenary company. no. In some ways, can this be said to be a big change?

That certainly might be the case. Just looking at the massacre of the Northern Continent Expedition 3 years ago, participating in the assault on the Steel Mountains cannot be considered an everyday occurrence.

When Hye-mi Pyo heard the first appointment announcement, she felt puzzled. Of the 31 people selected this time, 29 had more than three years of experience. Years 0 and 1 were originally excluded, and only two people, including Hyemi Pyo, were selected for year 2.

However, considering that the other person was ‘Shield of God’ Baek Han-gyeol, Hye-mi Pyo’s selection seemed surprising to anyone. Although she was in the same second year, Pyo Hye-mi was a user who was clearly inferior to Baek Han-gyeol in many ways.

Of course, it felt good at first. In any case, participating in the Steel Mountains meant that one’s skills were recognized.

However, Pyo Hye-mi soon realized that she couldn’t just like it. As part of her preparation, she looked up her records on the Iron Mountains, as this wasn’t just a quest for her to explore some ruins or anything.

There was almost no record of what kind of monsters appeared or which areas were safe, and only records of disappearances and deaths could be found. Looking at that, I actually started to wonder why I was selected.

In the end, Hye-mi Pyo fell into a huge dilemma regarding participation.

It could have been so. The Steel Mountains are a place that even most senior users don’t go near, but the burden felt by Pyo Hye-mi, a second-year user, is bound to be even greater. She may feel proud that she was selected, but doesn’t her pride cost her life?

Moreover, Hyemi Pyo was a user who was satisfied with her daily life without much greed. So, rather than saying, ‘I’m definitely going to participate!’, she said, ‘Well…’ . Why should I do this… It was natural to think, ‘.

The departure date was getting closer by the minute. There was also news that the advance toward the Steel Mountains had already begun in the east.

In that situation, Hyemi Pyo was spending the night wide awake, unable to make a decision yet.

Suddenly, Pyo Hye-mi received a call from Kim Soo-hyun. And I was able to hear a surprising offer at the office I visited.

lazy afternoon.

“Huyu.”

Pyo Hye-mi climbed the stairs with great strides and stopped in her office on the fourth floor. Then she calmly took her breath and stared at the closed door.

Today, Hyemi Pyo received a call from Kim Soo-hyun.

In fact, any clan member can meet the clan lord freely, but Hye-mi Pyo has rarely seen Kim Soo-hyun except for official appearances. This was the second time we had a 1:1 face-to-face meeting like this since the last call. Kim Soo-hyun was absent for a long time after Pyo Hye-mi came in, but she had no particular reason to meet. Hye-mi Pyo’s warning was not to even look at trees she couldn’t climb in the first place.

Anyway, Hye-mi Pyo stared at the door for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath, opened the door, and entered. At the same time, she felt like she had missed it. It was normal for her to knock and wait for an answer, but she was overly nervous and made a mistake without realizing it.

“Oh, hello! “Ho, you called me here?”

But the water has already been spilled. In the end, Pyo Hye-mi closed her eyes tightly and bent her waist to 60 degrees, telling her to let whatever happens to her.

“yes. You’re here… . huh? User Pyo Hye-mi? “That’s enough of a greeting, so please sit comfortably.”

However, Kim Soo-hyun’s voice was very peaceful. As if he knew Pyo Hye-mi would come in.

Hye-mi Pyo gently raised her head and looked at Kim Soo-hyun’s face, then gently placed her butt in her seat.

As soon as he sat down, Kim Soo-hyun immediately opened his mouth.

“Then the reason I called user Pyo Hye-mi today is… . Well, I think you will understand without me having to say it.”

“Yes, that’s right. So, the clan lord made me an offer the other day, and I was embarrassed and asked for a few days to think about it, and then… .”

As soon as we got to the point, Hyemi Pyo quickly nodded and continued talking. Kim Soo-hyun laughed lightly.

“haha. There is no need to say it in detail. And don’t be too nervous. “Just feel free to talk about what you’ve been thinking.”

“S-sorry… .”

Pyo Hye-mi cried out in her heart, “Idiot.” She was so angry that she felt like hitting herself on the head.

However, even though I was told to talk comfortably, I couldn’t just do that. Because meeting the most renowned user in the North Continent for some kind of matter was nerve-wracking.

After a while, Pyo Hye-mi, who had barely managed to compose herself, cautiously opened her mouth.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Then, can I just lend you my name?”

“That’s exactly what it looks like. This is the appearance of user Pyo Hye-mi. Officially, user Pyo Hye-mi has joined Steel Mountains. She and she will live as someone else until the attack is over. In other words, she is in the form of user Zhuge Haesol.”

“yes yes. that’s right. But is that really possible? I don’t know how long the strategy will take, but being able to maintain the appearance of someone else for that long… . Actually, I’m a little worried. Then, on the day when the magic is suddenly broken, it’s a big problem.”

“I understand user Pyo Hye-mi’s concerns. But according to Helena, she can do it for 6 months even if she can’t do it. “I also thought it was quite credible.”

It was like that. The method Kim Soo-hyun thought of for Jegal Hae-sol to participate as a proxy was polymorph. And the user Pyo Hye-mi was selected as the target. She thought she was most likely not to participate, so she was targeted.

Of course, that method was impossible with Kim Soo-hyun’s abilities. Because it was a limited polymorph, not a perfect polymorph.

But Helena is different. Kim Soo-hyun thought that the dragon of the apocalypse, who once reigned supreme among the dragons called the source of magic, would be able to use a perfect polymorph.

Kim Soo-hyun’s prediction was exactly right. As a result of asking Helena for her cooperation in the plan, he received a positive reply that there would be no problem for at least half a year.

“Uhm. If that’s the case, I don’t think there will be any big problems… .”

“That’s right. It’s unlikely to be a problem. All that remains is user Pyo Hye-mi’s decision. Of course, this is a request, not a compulsion. And if you cooperate with this, as I said last time, I plan to provide you with an elixir that increases all equipment and magic power by 1 point.”

Hyemi Pyo swallowed her saliva.

All equipment and elixirs.

As Pyo Hye-mi is a member of the clan, she can receive a certain amount of equipment in return, but there is a limit to that. Really good equipment is stored under strict security, and when a person who has made a contribution comes forward, Kim Soo-hyun personally mentions it and rewards it.

What Kim Soo-hyun is saying is that he will provide such A-level equipment as a set. There is no need to say more about the elixir.

I was already thinking about participating in the Steel Mountains. I wondered if I should participate to the point of risking my life, but Kim Soo-hyun threw a bait.

In some ways, it’s not a bad proposition. In any case, since you have officially participated, you can enjoy privileges later and receive eye-popping rewards.

What if I accept this offer now, and just keep quiet for a few months? You can continue your daily life in a better direction going forward.

Thinking so, Pyo Hye-mi slowly nodded. It took a long time for her to think, but eventually she made a decision.

“yes. I will do that. Rather, thank you for your concern.”

“It’s good. As I believe in the user’s preference, I will not write a separate contract. but… . “You know, right?”

“Of course. “I am also involved in this matter, so I will absolutely keep it a secret.”

“I like it. Well then, let’s end the story here. “I mentioned the equipment I mentioned earlier to personnel, so please stop by on your way.”

Hyemi Pyo stood up and tilted her head. You said you talked to personnel? So you’re saying you knew I would allow it?

But soon I thought it was probably a good idea. Because it is better to do it this clearly and quickly rather than putting it off every day.

After bowing her head, Hyemi Pyo quickly left the office. Only then did her tension ease slightly, and she felt at ease again. The thought that she no longer had to worry made Pyo Hye-mi calm.

“okay. “Good things are good, right?”

Hyemi Pyo muttered to herself and turned around, slightly sticking out her tongue. And the moment she turned around to receive her reward, a faint glance passed through the eyes of her friend Hye-mi.

Ta-bak-ta-bak.

Someone had just come up the stairs and looked into the hallway where Hyemi Pyo was standing.

*

The selection announcement is over. The issue of Jegal Hae-sol’s proxy participation was also just resolved.

With this, all preparations are completed.

“then… .”

Now, all that really remains is to leave.

Just as I was thinking about that and was about to get up and stretch, I suddenly heard the door slam open. When I quickly turned around to see if I had suddenly changed my mind, I saw an unexpected user who was not Pyo Hye-mi.

“you… .”

The woman looking at me with an extremely gloomy face was none other than Maeng A-ra. The current guardian of the northern continent.

It was a fairly unexpected visit, but I was expecting to come here at least once before the Steel Mountains anyway.

I opened my mouth calmly.

“What happened all of a sudden? “Without knocking.”

“… Please take it out.”

The sudden attack wasn’t enough, so he tells them to get rid of everything. Of course, there is something to be said. I stared at Maeng Ara for a moment and then quietly pointed to the sofa. This was the seat where Pyo Hye-mi sat earlier.

“What does that mean? Anyway, sit down first.”

“no, I do not want.”

“I am indeed. “Then are you standing there?”

“great.”

Maeng-ara, who immediately shouted, was dazed for a moment and closed her eyes. okay. She must have felt strange even saying it herself.

As Maeng Ara was laughing at her absurd feeling, Maeng Ara didn’t know what to do.

But even for a moment. Soon, “Seeing.” I stuck out her mouth and she immediately opened it.

“Ah, anyway! “Our Soohyun oppa, please exclude us from this election!”

“no.”

“why!”

“How can I get away? “He’s a clan lord.”

“profit! Jin, Su, Hyun, oppa! “Not Kim, Su, Hyun!”

“iced coffee. sorry. “I was mistaken.”

Maeng A-ra emphasized, breaking each letter. I giggled to myself. Actually, I knew that, but it was just a joke. But when I saw that he was biting his mouth and purring, it seemed like he would really cry if he continued, so I thought it would be better to stop at this point.

“okay. Then let’s talk properly. So, what you’re saying is, please remove Jin Soo-hyun from this appointment. “Is this what you mean?”

“yes.”

“why?”

“Yes… .”

“As far as I know, Jin Su-hyeon really wants to participate in this strategy. That’s why he joined our clan in the first place.”

“Ugh… .”

Maeng Ara was still biting her mouth. However, the solemn light in her eyes showed that she had the will to somehow get Jin Soo-hyun out.

I continued speaking.

“or not. Has Jin Soo-hyun’s mind changed? “Did he say in front of you that he didn’t want to participate?”

Doridori.

“Not that either. Then speak up. Why on earth are you asking me to take it out? “There has to be some valid reason for me to review it.”

“… “Because I can’t trust you.”

Eventually, Maeng-ara’s words, which finally opened her mouth, were quite shocking. It felt like a fastball hit her without her having any time to prepare.

Suddenly, I felt like my stomach was sinking.

“… “Why do you think that?”

“Because I know.”

“What do you know?”

“3 years ago. This is an incident where Mule murdered users who came to seek your help. “You’re not going to say you don’t know, right?”

iced coffee. I asked what he was saying.

I slowly smoothed my forehead while keeping an eye on Maeng A-ra, who was now showing an almost life-or-death attitude. Then he slowly took out a piece of tobacco and asked.

I can’t believe you. And I know what happened at Mule.

If so, that means you either heard it from someone or looked it up yourself.

“I have a question. “Who is your angel?”

At that moment, Maeng A-ra opened her eyes wide and was startled.

“Uh, how… ?”

It’s obvious. If I think about it in relation to previous incidents, it means that there are angels who envy me. I got a hint from Seraph’s words, and it seems my prediction was correct.

Maeng Ara said.

“Well, I can’t tell you that. anyway! I know a lot more than that. That you are against angels… .”

“ah. it’s okay. Don’t be condescending when saying something insignificant but as if you’re saying something great. so. “What are we going to do?”

“W-what?”

“So what should we do? I am against the angels. okay. I’ll admit that. But is that so wrong?”

When I spoke confidently, Maeng-ara showed an astonished look. I shook my head. Because I couldn’t understand.

“why. Then why are you hostile to angels? Angels are helpers. Helping users… .”

“What the hell. So do you like angels? “If you’re an angel, do you have to follow Nene unconditionally?”

“That’s not it. But isn’t there a need to be more hostile than necessary?”

“so why? “Why should I like these bitches who threw us, who were living well on Earth, into this shitty world?”

Then Maeng A-ra suddenly closed her mouth. She even showed a shocked face at the same time.

When I saw that, I slowly started to become convinced. no. Now that it has been said that they are hostile to angels, the background has become clear. Judging by the reaction, it looks like they are going to check the liver… .

I quietly wet my mouth with saliva.

“I am. I was discharged from the military three years ago and fell asleep on the train back home. When I woke up, I suddenly appeared in this world. But, do you like the angel who brought me into this world? “I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”

“Are you coming back after being discharged from the military?”

Maeng A-ra stuttered with a very embarrassed expression on her face. I was about to nod her head loudly, but when I saw her neck, she was slightly startled.

“Come to think of it… . My brother must be in the military now… .”

“… I see no. But please don’t look at me like that. It’s like looking at a caged animal. “I feel bad.”

Maeng A-ra “Hot?” She screamed and quickly shook her head. As if he was trying to keep her sane.

“Uh, um. great. Then, the murder case in Mule mentioned earlier… .”

“That’s a case that has already been concluded. And because it wasn’t enough that they forcibly approached us to take advantage of what they had achieved, they almost killed our children. “Would you stay still?”

“yes? Lord, you tried to kill me?”

“you… . “Have you read the case record?”

As I spoke again, Maeng-ara looked at me with a devastated face. It’s a face that looks very confused. From what I can see, there is a good chance that I only heard one side of the story.

Then, as I lit the candle, I let out a long sigh.

“After a while. Become a user. No, the guardian of the northern continent. I don’t know what the hell you want to say. Are you here to tell me to get rid of Jin Soo-hyun? Or did you come here to comfort me at the direction of an angel?”

“That’s not it!”

“Quiet. Of course, I know that you don’t look kindly on me because of the last incident. But, that’s not what I intended. “You probably know that much.”

“but.”

“But, just the jersey. And to be honest. You said you couldn’t trust me, but did I do anything wrong to Jin Soo-hyun? “Since he joined our clan.”

“Ugh. that… .”

Jin Soo-hyun? No problem. Rather, the problem was that I adapted too well. After joining the Mercenary Clan, Jin Su-hyun was more active than anyone else and was quickly regaining his former self. Even a child would know that.

Looking at Maeng Ara who seemed at a loss for words, I decided to push her a little further.

“You are like that too. He allowed me to participate in the Steel Mountains because he wanted to. “Why are you pouring out your complaints to me?”

Then Maeng-ara slumped her shoulders. Thinking that this was enough, I turned my chair halfway and stared at the window. Maeng A-ra’s appearance was also visible through the window. Now with a softer voice.

“Of course, I know how worried you are about Jin Soo-hyun. However, it is a burden that all users who participate in the strategy bear in common. That’s the same for me, who has to stand at the front among the best vanguards. In fact, it was even worse. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“… … .”

“Anyway, you can’t remove Jin Soo-hyun unless you want to. Since you are not eligible to participate, just wait quietly. Or should I just keep watch and do my duty as a guardian?”

“… Did you know?”

then. Because I know that the guardians of the northern continent are not that idle.

After swallowing the words to go back because I had nothing more to say, I finished burning the tobacco that was barely burning.

And for a moment, there was silence.

Some time passed, and soon the sound of walking was heard.

When I glanced over, I saw Maeng Ara placing a record on the desk. After doing something, I realized that it was none other than a clan withdrawal letter. And in the eyes that look at me, there is a deep sadness. Does he think Jin Soo-hyun was taken away?

“I don’t know.”

Maeng A-ra opened her mouth once more.

“Who is right? Which is the truth? “Actually, I still don’t know.”

“Don’t you think you’re being unreasonable?”

“Maybe so. But, one thing is certain. I’m still so anxious about you. no. “I feel anxious about Soohyun oppa next to you.”

“I can’t help it if you feel that way even after saying this much.”

“yes. On the surface, there is a reason, and at first glance, the words make sense. but… . I can’t pinpoint what it is, though. On the surface, Soohyun says that she is letting her participate because her brother wants it! … Even that seems to have some purpose in my eyes.”

“purpose? “Do you think I might have had bad intentions?”

Then Maeng-ara suddenly closed her mouth and stared at me.

And after a brief pause, he softly opened his mouth.

“It’s as if he’s granting people’s wishes to achieve his own goals… . “I feel like the devil.”

After saying that, Maeng A-ra left the office without even looking back.

Finally, looking at the spot where Maeng A-ra left, I rubbed out the almost burned tobacco and extinguished it. And then I calmly opened the user information.

1. Name: Kim Soo-hyun (3rd year)

2. True name • Nationality: Demonic nature (demon-like nature that deceives or deceives people.) • Master of the sword • Republic of Korea

When I remembered Maeng A-ra’s words, a faint smile suddenly came out.

The devil… .

Maybe it’s not that bad.

Because there is no law that says good can overcome evil.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

sorry. You’re very late today, right? Before I go, I was going to properly wrap up Jegal Hae-sol’s participation and Maeng A-ra, but this part ended up being a lot longer than I thought. Thanks to this, Vivian, who was supposed to appear for the first time in a while, disappeared far away. (I’m sorry Vivian.) I’m not sure if she will be included in the next episode.

It took about 8 hours today. ah. I need to revise the e-book and adapt the visual novel, but both tasks feel a bit stagnant. I really don’t know how I serialized it during the first midterm exam last year. ha ha ha.
