00756 Key to the ancient magic city of Magia. ————————————————– ———————-=
Entering the red wasteland, we marched diligently without a single break. Additionally, thanks to Zhuge Haesol’s transportation capabilities, they were finally able to enter the city in the late afternoon.
They entered through the south gate, but did not part ways right away. Because I didn’t want to do that and it wasn’t polite. So, after sending the clan members to the castle first, I decided to send Han So-young off. (In the middle, Seon-yul grumbled, ‘Oh, the pay isn’t right~. It was an expedition with a lot of hardship and nothing to gain.’ But at least my conscience was strong. It soon became quiet.)
After a while, Han So-young and I held hands tightly as we approached the passage connecting the cities.
“Thank you for your hard work. Istantel Row Road. Thank you for your help.”
“no. What about the hardships? “It was a good experience.”
“I will never forget how you alone cleared away the smoke and inflicted fatal injuries.”
“It’s been a while since Geumchil felt awkward. “I took the appropriate action, but it was Mercenary Lord who created the situation.”
Although the words were sincere, Han So-young responded humbly.
“Anyway, I will make sure to repay you for this matter later.”
“It’s a reward… . no. are you okay.”
“yes?”
“Because I have already received my reward.”
After saying that, Soyoung Han took out a small bead from her pocket. It was a recording bead.
“That means it will be fun for the eyes in the future.”
What are you talking about? However, Han So-young gently closed her eyes and slowly shook her head. The corners of her mouth seemed to turn up ever so slightly, although it was only for a split second. No, did I see it wrong?
“Thank you for seeing me off. “Then let’s go.”
Finally, at the same time that the recording bead was emitting light, Han So-young quickly passed me.
(Merchionary Road.)
(Yum yum… Huh? No, yes?)
As I was passing by, a voice coming from the beads clearly entered my ears.
(Would you like to say sister?)
(Huh? Sister?)
(Yes. Come on.)
(No. Why is it like this all of a sudden….)
(sister.)
(Nu, nu, nu…. Sister.)
Suddenly, a tremendous sense of shame wells up in my heart.
“Hey, Istantel Low Road!”
The thought of quickly breaking that marble arose, but Han So-young had already disappeared into the passage. Then, a rumbling noise is heard nearby. I covered my face with both hands. Ah, my face feels hot.

After returning to Mercantile Castle, I headed straight to the conference room on the first floor. As expected, the clan members were lined up neatly on the left and right, waiting for me. There was only an occasional congratulatory message, and there was no big fuss like there used to be. The clan members who arrived earlier probably explained the situation to some extent.
Eventually, after exchanging eye contact with Go Yeon-ju, who gave me a strange(?) wink, I walked to the throne and sat down. Then the clan members also sit down at the same time.
“Almost a month. No, it must have been a little more than a month. Anyway, it’s been a while, everyone.”
I started with a light greeting and then calmly started talking about the mission. There was no need to talk long. There’s no need to go into detail about each one, because you’ve probably heard it to some extent anyway.
So, unfortunately, the fact that the boy’s companions died (it appears that they were used as food for the plant army, but he did not say in detail), the defeat of the plant army and the 14 demon lords, and the circumstances of obtaining the piece of origin are briefly explained. The explanation is finished.
“The results achieved through this expedition will be kept in storage. And there is something to celebrate here.”
After handing over the witch set to Go Yeonju, I turned to my left. Lee Yu-jeong, sitting in the D-grade line, looks at me and hastily averts her eyes. When I motioned for them to come out, everyone’s heads turned. Lee Yu-jeong glanced briefly, but soon she came to the center with hesitant steps.
“User Lee Yu-jeong… .”
As I quietly cried out, the room became as quiet as ever.
“With this expedition, we inherited the secret class.”
“yes?”
The first to react was Ahn Hyeon.
“brother. Really?”
“Anhyeon!”
When Go Yeon-ju pointed out sternly, Ahn Hyeon lowered his head with a frown on his face. I shrugged and stared at the center. Almost everyone has shocked eyes. Judging by his reaction, it seems he hasn’t spoken out yet. Those who went on an expedition together also seemed to kiss each other. Soon, Lee Yu-jeong nodded her head very slightly, like a shy girl.
“yes… . that’s right… .”
A voice that is different from usual and speaks harshly and is extremely awkward. The moment I barely acknowledged it,
“Ooooooooooo!”
Anhyun screamed strangely and ran away. Go Yeon-ju, who was frowning, quickly tried to stand up, but I quickly motioned him with my hand. It meant to leave it alone. Because I wanted to see the reaction.
But it was a little surprising. True to her personality, I thought she was anxious to show off, but Lee Yu-jeong was extremely embarrassed. no. At the same time as being embarrassed, it also seems like he feels sorry when he sees Ahn Hyun running towards him. A thought suddenly crossed my mind that perhaps they wanted to keep it as secret as possible. If this happens, I feel sorry for no reason.
“Hey, is this really true? “Is this really a secret class?”
“huh? Uh, uh… .”
However, Ahn Hyeon didn’t care at all and just tapped his shoulder and made a fuss. As light applause began pouring in from everywhere, a dazed look appeared on Lee Yu-jeong’s face. It’s as if she didn’t expect this.
“What is the class name?”
“The mercenary queen… .”
“Wow, that’s awesome. “It’s a pretty cool-looking name, right?”
“… … .”
As I praised him one after another, Yujeong Lee stared at me, not knowing what to do. Seeing his slightly resentful gaze, I slowly raised one hand. The hall became quiet again.
“And one more thing.”
An Hyun immediately stopped chatting and returned to the B-grade line.
“I don’t know if you heard… . In fact, this expedition was more difficult than the mountains where the dragon sleeps, and there were some truly dangerous moments.”
“… … .”
“We had no choice but to watch helplessly as the world was being destroyed. If I had stayed quiet then, I probably wouldn’t have been able to come back safely like this. “At worst, everyone could have died.”
“… … .”
I stared at the center of the road. Lee Yu-jeong was biting her lower lip with her red face.
“User Lee Yu-jeong.”
When I call his name, he trembles.

“In a situation where no one else could step forward, he charged in alone and stopped the collapse of the world, so in recognition of his contribution, his grade is readjusted from D to C.”
Then Lee Yu-jeong’s expression became perplexed. Rather than being happy, it’s almost like being confused and thinking, ‘This isn’t right.’ It seems to be saying. She immediately opened her mouth as if to say something, but as another thunderous applause followed, she closed her eyes and bit her mouth.
I smiled and opened my mouth quietly.
“This concludes the meeting.”
*
I try not to think of any corner of Hall Plain as ‘home’. Because this is a world I will leave someday, not a home I will return to.
However, even taking that into consideration, returning to the castle is definitely more comfortable. As she has spent countless gold coins, the castle’s facilities boast a comfort that is incomparable to that of a simple camping camp.
Anyway, after finishing the meeting, after eating a delicious meal and enjoying a hot bath, the night had already deepened. Then, I felt a bit regretful about staying like this, so I stopped at a restaurant and picked up a bottle of good liquor before going up the stairs. And just as he entered the office humming “Ni-Ni-Ni-Nyo,” he stopped walking.
“you guys… ?”
There were three passengers in the room. Ahn Hyeon looks like he doesn’t understand, Heo Jun-young just sighs, and Lee Yoo-jeong sits calmly. The three of them were sitting on the sofa and when I came in, they turned their heads and looked at me at the same time. I instinctively felt that some kind of incident had occurred.
I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s good. I calmly walked to the sofa. And thinking that I should show my composure first, I smiled and said, ‘Okay. How does it feel to get the strength you so desperately wanted?’ Just as I was about to say,
“brother. “You don’t have to adjust my grade.”
Lee Yu-jeong’s voice came into my ear and made the words that were rising to the top of my throat disappear.
“what?”
“And drop him to the bottom. With grade F.”
My mind became confused by the words that followed. They restored it to C grade, but they want it to be lowered to F grade? Are you sane?
“Oh bro. Let’s do something about him. “I guess I’m crazy.”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
Ahn Hyeon and Heo Jun-young’s voices overlapped. First, after sitting down on the sofa, I quietly stared at Lee Yu-jeong right next to me.
“Are you still upset?”
“Hey, pouting.”
“Then is it rebellion?”
“It’s not like that.”
Lee Yu-jeong laughed bitterly. Looking at the reaction, it doesn’t seem like they’re joking… . Rather, it has a serious tone.
“why.”
“just… .”
Lee Yoo-jeong spoke slightly and lowered her head. The two calves placed under the sofa are shaking.
“I was curious.”
“You got curious?”
“huh. “On the way back, a lot of thoughts came to mind.”
“Thoughts… .”
Lee Yu-jeong slowly raised her hand. Her hands soon turned golden and burned brightly. It seems to be a new power gained this time.
“This power… . It’s really powerful. “To the point where I think it’s too much for me.”
“however.”
“Actually, was there a way for me to become stronger back then? “If I had changed my choices just a little bit, I might have been able to perfectly bring out the power of the beastman.”
“… … .”
“But you didn’t. okay. “I didn’t choose that way.”
“So you’re saying there was a way to gain more power, but you didn’t?”
“huh.”
“why?”
I think something important will be said. I decided to stop feeling dumbfounded and listen.
“Because I didn’t think I could make the power I gained that way my own.”
Finally, Lee Yu-jeong slowly lowered her hand.
“Actually, it’s still the same now. I don’t think this power is entirely mine. But I think I’ve earned the right to make it my own. So, as a human being.”
And then he continues speaking quietly.
“That’s how you see it, too. Even if you get the Secret Class, you’re still weak. Not strong at all. “I have always been in a position that did not match my abilities, and this time, I have a power that is not commensurate with my abilities.”
“So what are we going to do? What does that have to do with rating adjustment, and what else does it have to do with it? “You just have to work hard from now on.”
“no. “I will no longer look upward.”
“Yoojeong.”
“brother.”
“… … .”
Lee Yu-jeong suddenly turned her head and looked straight at me.
“I think it’s too late, but… . “I want to start from the bottom.”
“what?”
“I didn’t make this decision out of anger. I kept thinking about it on the way back. If I really try, how far can I go? “That’s what I meant by being curious.”
“you… .”
Is that why you asked for it to be downgraded to F? I understood, but suddenly felt speechless. I couldn’t think of anything to say in response, and the desperation in his blood-red eyes made it impossible for me to speak. At least I realized that Lee Yu-jeong was sincere.
When I glance over, I see Ahn Hyun and Heo Jun-young staring blankly at Yu-jeong Lee. Awkward, right? I’m unfamiliar too.
Anyway, if it comes out like this, I have nothing to say. You can’t stop a kid who says no. And I never thought Lee Yu-jeong would come out like this.
“Why don’t you just allow it? Kim Soohyun. “He wants it that much.”
At that time, Heo Jun-young’s voice was heard.
“Ah, I thought it was stupid at first too… . After listening to it, my thoughts changed. “Even taking into account the fact that I only lived with my mouth, my spirit is high.”
Heo Jun-young calmly raised his glass and opened his mouth. Before he knew it, his bottle was half empty. This guy, who drinks as he likes? At best, he received good drinks.
Heo Jun-young must have liked the drink so much that he filled his glass again and again.
“At least, I think it’s much better than trying to secretly leave the clan to train as a warrior.”
“swimming. “Did something like that happen?”
“uh.”
“So, did your brother stop Lee Yu-jeong from leaving?”
Heo Jun-young did not answer Ahn Hyeon’s question. I just drink my glass full. When I turn my gaze to her side, I see Lee Yu-jeong quietly avoiding my gaze. Tsk tsk.
I took a long breath and touched my forehead.
“really? I’m serious?”
“huh.”
“There’s no use crying and regretting it later?”
“of course! “If I say something different later, you can kill me.”
At one point, ‘In bed?’ I wanted to say, but I just said, “Do whatever you want.” He said.
When she finally gives permission, Lee Yu-jeong smiles brightly. Am I that happy? He smiles and gently rests his head on my shoulder. It didn’t feel particularly bad.
Ahn Hyeon looked at Lee Yu-jeong and me happily, then glanced at Heo Jun-young.
“Now that I think about it, I remember that time.”
“… … ?”
“When I get kicked out. At that time, my brother took care of me. “They told me to spend my pocket money so I wouldn’t go hungry.”
“I gave it to you as old money. “Don’t misunderstand.”
“Hey, it’s old money. “I already know that you don’t feel that way.”
“joy. Because illusions are free.”
Heo Jun-young filled his glass and snorted. An Hyun’s face was slightly flushed, and she smiled equally as she gently leaned her head on Heo Jun-young’s shoulder. Heo Jun-young was about to break her glass and slowly set it down on the table.
After a while.
Sreung!
“You son of a bitch! “I will kill you!”
“Tongue, bro? Wow, why all of a sudden!”
“I’m having a good time drinking it. How dare you make the taste worse? “Aren’t you going to stand there?”
“Soohyun hyung stays still…” . Wait, wait! That’s a real sword! “Aaaah!”
Ahn Hyun runs away and Heo Jun-young swings his sword. The two quickly left the room and disappeared down the hallway. There is a sound of pounding going down the stairs. What are you doing at night?
“Kick, that’s stupid.”
Lee Yu-jeong chuckled and slightly got up. But she didn’t go out. She walks three or four steps, rests her hands on the desk, and looks at the terrace.
Gently flowing darkness and dazzling moonlight. Is it because of the magic of the night? Lee Yu-jeong’s appearance under the sophisticated moonlight suddenly seemed attractive. Come to think of it, she turned 25 this year? Her breasts are quite perky, and her buttocks are firm and elastic… .
“But brother. “I have one question.”
At that time, Lee Yu-jeong suddenly turned around and looked at me. As I was in the middle of losing my appetite, I quickly looked away. Then I grabbed about half of the remaining bottle and poured it into a glass. I drank a lot in a short period of time.
“What are you curious about?”
“How far did you go with Kim Hanbyeol?”
Oh my. This is quite a surprising question. But if you thought I would be embarrassed, you would be mistaken. I twirled my glass and showed a relaxed attitude.
“curious?”
“no. I just won’t listen. “After all, I am me, and I am different from him.”
However, unexpectedly, Lee Yu-jeong quickly gave up. A lively laugh comes out of nowhere.
“like. really?”
“huh. doesn’t care. Anyway, the first goal is to reach grade B as quickly as possible.”
“It’s grade B. “Do you mean to catch up with Kim Han-byeol first?”
“In a way, yes?”
“Hehe. It won’t be easy. “As you know, Hanbyeol Kim is a very hard worker.”
“Admit it. But no one knows what will happen in the future, right?”
After saying that, Lee Yu-jeong turned around and stared at the terrace. And there was silence for a very moment. I slowly raised my glass, taking Lee Yu-jeong’s appearance bathed in moonlight as a snack.
“You better be prepared, too.”
At that moment, Lee Yu-jeong, who had been silent for a while, blurted out. The tone was somewhat resentful, different from before. I laughed to myself. Why are you trying to rise to EX level and become a clan lord?
Anyway, although he is reckless, this level of spirit is not bad.
“If I get to Grade B… .”
Soon, Lee Yu-jeong, who had been staring outside aimlessly, glanced at me. Then, as if she was staring at me, the corners of her eyes suddenly curved like a crescent moon and she grinned. It was a smile that felt pretentious without any reason.
“Okay, what if I climb up?”
Thinking what to do, I calmly drank my glass.
That moment,
“I’m coming to get f*cked by you too.”
“pooh.”
Without realizing it, I violently squirted out the liquid I had contained.
What, what? What are you here to eat?
“What did you just…” !”
I looked right away, but Lee Yu-jeong was no longer in front of the desk. As I hurriedly looked away, I heard laughter and the noise of running down the hallway. The sound soon disappeared into the darkness.
“Huh, really.”
A sigh came naturally.
“No, even if I say the same thing… .”
You’re coming to get eaten.
That’s so dirty.
