MEMORIZE

Deep night, but a little too early to call it dawn.

There were countless stars shining in the night sky, and a beautiful city of starlight appeared below it.

"Suhyun, I see Eden."

"Yes, I arrived earlier than I thought."

I stretched my head as hard as I could. As he shivers with his arms stretched out, his brother, who was walking side by side, smiles lightly.

"You must be tired?"

"It wasn't a very difficult expedition."

"You can sleep if you're tired. My Clan is close to here.”

"What do you mean…?"

When I turn my head in a strange mood, I see my brother still smiling. I was shaking my head, sighing, and concentrating on walking. My brother and I will use Warp Gate anyway, so what's the point of distance?

A little later.

It wasn't long before I walked to the gate. The dark floor is shining blue in the moonlight. Soon as we entered the silent street, we headed straight to Warp Gate.

When the Warp Gate was just around the corner, I felt a great shake in my shoulder at the thought of it.

Chorong?

"Get up. We're almost there."

Chorong... Chorong....

When I look down on my shoulder at the sound of a whining bird, I see a baby bird yawning with its beak the size of a fingernail. As soon as I put Soji in there, he closed his beak and bit his finger.

A baby bird that comes to mind with its ring finger in its mouth as it raises its hand slightly. It is still the size of a fist, but the subtle golden glow from the whole body seems unusual.

"Here. Take it."

"Ha ha. She seems to like you better."

When he reached out his arm to take it quickly, his brother smiled awkwardly and muttered.

"The owner is my brother.”

I spoke with my voice and put the baby bird on my brother's shoulder.

Chorong, chorong!

The baby bird glanced at me once and calmly let go of its possession. And I guess you didn't like it when I buried my face on my brother's shoulder and rubbed it.

My brother took care of the crying baby bird a few times and opened his mouth with a sorry look.

"Suhyun, I really don't know if I can keep this bird."

"Brother, I really don't know if I can keep these equipment.”

I looked straight back. Commercial Clan members were following in silence. Some of them had backpacks on their backs, the equipment I was talking about was in them.

That is, baby birds and other equipment on my brother's shoulder. It was an achievement of targeting the Balhalla Tower, which was recently excavated.

"But it's still the remains you've discovered...I'm sorry."

"It's not what I found, it's what we found together. And I borrowed less Hamill's power to attack."

"You don't know how I feel. I feel like I'm taking it away from you even though I can't take care of you as an older brother.So Soohyun. I'm afraid…."

"You said you'd raise him well. And it's already over. You promised not to tell me any more.”

The promise was to never bring it up again after the first distribution of performance. I thought I'd keep it well except once or twice, but as Warp Gate approached me, I felt weak again.

Still, there was a hint of opening my mouth, so I stared sharply and snapped back.

"If you break your promise, you'll be disappointed.”

Only then did my brother shut his mouth with a dirty face. Honestly, I think it's a childish way, but if we let it go, we would have had to run endless parallel lines before we broke up.

Did I feel my firm will not to do anything tiring for each other?

My brother stared at me for a long time and sighed deeply.

"The original one. All right, all right."

"That's what it's gonna be."

"…I'll take good care of you. It has brain properties, so it'll fit me well.”

"Of course, it's a creature. If you raise them well, they'll be worth watching.”

Nodding. Either way, he seems to like the baby bird. Maybe he needs sleep because he's still a baby, but he gently pets the guy who keeps turning his head off. When I saw it, I felt pleased.

'Come to think of it...You really wanted that bird in the first round.'

Did I tell you that it'd fit you?

Anyway, of course I know who the baby bird is, but I didn't say it on purpose. When I gave him to my brother, he said, "I want to get to know him myself." You want to get to know each other one by one.

Anyway, now I'm just looking forward to the collaboration between my brother and Thunderstorm.

In time I slowly slowed down.

I arrived at my destination before I knew it. Now all we have to do is go inside the warp gate and go back to the city.

"Ha! We're finally here."

"I see. Are you leaving right now?"

Your voice is a bit disappointing. I understand that you want to share a toast right after the expedition, but it's daytime now. Since it was this late, it was better to go back quickly.

"It's late. Clan members seem tired, too.

"Is that so? Got it. Then I'll call you tomorrow."

I nodded once. And when I looked back, I could see the faces of Clan members who looked very tired but happy.

After a brief farewell to the Hamil Clan members, he entered the Warp Gate.

"Monica, a small town in the south. It's eight people."

"It's 16 gold and 24 silver."

I'd like to settle the equipment I got from this expedition, but you'd better go back and get a good night's sleep. Thinking so, I buried myself without delay on the active portal.

Seven days to prepare, four weeks to round trip the expedition.

It was a return in a month and five days.

*

knock, knock

When I opened my eyes to the sound of the door, I felt the cool dawn air. Once I took a big breath, I felt a little bit awake.

Click!

The sudden sound of the door opening. I looked up quickly and looked at the door, and I couldn't see anyone. I could only see something black swooping away between the cracks.

“…….”

I blinked once or twice and pulled myself up. Then I slowly stepped out of bed and out of the door.

Soon after, I went down to the first floor, and the employee sitting at the lobby counter looked back at me. I was very proud to be at work at dawn, but when I saw sleepy eyes and saliva around my mouth, I made a complaint.

"Good morning. "Merciful Lord."

"You're having a hard time.”

A hoarse voice must be a voice that just woke up. It may have happened on its own, but it is possible that it woke someone up.

"Oh, come to think of it....”

"Where are you?"

"Yes, yes?"

"Didn't someone come?”

The employee gave a blank look when he said he already knew. Then slowly raised his arm and pointed in one direction.

"He went to the restaurant…."

"Thank you."

I lowered my head and turned right away.

A little later.

As I pushed the door of the restaurant lightly, I could see the woman sitting in the center table and looking at something hard. With her light gray hair hanging long, she was a high performer.

Slurp.

I guess you knew I was coming. Ko holds up her head at first sight and holds a cup of tea with a deep smile.

After scratching her head once or twice in a daze, she sat face to face at the table where she sat.

"Suhyun! It's been a long time...".”

"Yes. When did you get here?”

"…Just now? I heard you were back five days ago, so I asked for a pass. It happened to be the weekend, so I could come out."

"Is there a rumor going around in Barbara?"

"It's already easy.”

I don't know how widespread it is to say that, but I nodded to say yes first. The temple report had been completed the day after it returned, and it was also expected.

What's so funny. Ko looked at me with a smile on her chin.

"Suhyun, how was your expedition? This is the first time I've been there in collaboration with the other Clan..”

"It was fine."

When I answered back briefly and shook my head, I felt my mind a little clearer.

"But what were you reading so hard?”

"…Look at this."

Ko raised her slightly upset face and pointed to the table with her index finger.

"…this."

When I looked at her as a meaning, she continued to talk in a languid voice.

"These are records from yesterday to today.”

When I followed the direction of the beautiful fingernails, I could see several neatly arranged records. I quietly focused on the record.

- Hamill, the Medical Clan. Excavation of the Tower of Valhalla, an ancient site in the East.

- Commercial Clan. What kind of clan is it? Not long ago, following the Frozen Forest, this time the Tower of Valhalla has been discovered....

What are the dungeons we've found so far? Ancient Alchemist Dungeon, Ruins Institute, Cave of Scream, Ancient Magic City of Magia, Frozen Forest, Valhalla's Tower. This is all a year's worth of achievement…What's the truth?

- [Exclusive] Ancient Alchemist Dungeon, Ruins Research Institute, Cave of Scream: The Ancient Magic City of Magia, Frozen Forest: Confirmed the discovery by Isante Lowe.The Tower of Valhalla is known to have been discovered with the Hamil Clan..

- [Exclusive] Kim Soo-hyun of the Commercial Clan Road. Hamil Clan Road turns out to be Kim Yoo-hyun's real brother…Clando's alliance.

"Mercury Clan. What the hell is your relationship with Hamill and Istanbul Lowe…In less than a year, six remains were excavated.Maybe they think of it as a kind of nurturing, with some purpose..”

"It's fun, right?

I was reading for a long time when a languid voice flowed again. At the same time, a teacup was thrown out to cover some of the records in front of him. Whenever there is a wave of pitch-black water, white steam rises little by little.

"I see some disturbing records, but...It's pretty good, by and large."

I accepted it without hesitation because I was desperate for a cup of hot tea. I felt moist when I asked for a teacup. Did he give you something to drink?

Subsequently, the question of Ko Yeon-ju was followed.

"Did you go with Hamill Clan because you knew these articles would come out?"

"I didn't expect it to come out.Just for one thing or another reason?

Soon after I savored the warmth that spread throughout my body, I took my eyes off the record.

"What's the reaction there?"

"He's showing great interest."

"Detailed. So what kind of attention?"

"…most of them are incredible, but there are often unfriendly responses."

As expected, I smiled blandly at the thought of it.

Currently, the museum has excavated six remains in a year. It's a surprisingly unprecedented record, but will users be surprised?

No, that's not true.

The remains are the 'settings' most directly linked to the user's gain. As such, 'How could we find so many remains in such a short time?It was obvious that the suspicion was raised. But...

"I see."

"I'm not revealing it yet, but....”

"…You don't have to worry too much. I'm not going to reveal it as long as I'm wearing Istanbul Lowe and Hamil.”

"For the time being, yes. I think we'll probably move quite carefully until the relationship is clear."

"In the meantime, Hamill and Istantel Low won't sit still. Of course, you'll need the power of a high performer."

The information on the North Continent would be of considerable help, as the second would be the shadow queen.

In time, Ko seemed to think for a moment, but shook her head as if it was difficult.

"It's hard to fight against the entire continental press."

"You don't have to win."

"Sure?"

"You just have to accept the records that you don't think are right."

We have something to say, too.

The Ancient Alchemist Dungeon, the Ruins Institute and the Cave of Scream were found in the unexplored city of Mule.

The ancient magical city of Magia and the frozen forest were discovered at the request of Istanbul Lowe.

The "Tower of Valhalla" can still be attributed to what was discovered by the Hamil Clan.

Of course these things are not a complete explanation. I'm well aware of that. But what I wanted was a mitigation from 'something strange, Clan' to 'very lucky Clan'.

You can raise her if you can.

Ko stared at me for a while. Then he quietly continued.

"Suhyun is aiming for noise marketing."

"Well, I think it's a rite of passage before we get on our feet.”

I didn't deny the interpretation of the altruist. Since I decided to make it to the semi-finals in a short time, I was going to build up my performance.

Ko had nothing else to say, so she quietly ate. Then he sighed and opened his mouth in a despondent voice.

"It's hard to be an instructor, but I'll be busier in the future.”

It was then. As soon as the word instructor came out, an idea flashed through my mind.

So I drank all the remaining tea and opened my mouth in a clearer voice.

"Come to think of it, Ko Yeon-ju. What happened to the things I asked for?"

As my brother said, the museum was entitled to participate in the next-order user academy. There are probably more than 500 new users in by now.

But I couldn't keep waiting for them to come in, so I had to give Ko the role of instructor.

And before leaving the city with Hamill Clan, I gave Ko two additional instructions.

One of them is....

"Well, here you are."

Ko poked out her lips and pulled out a thick bundle of records.

"Is this it?"

"Yes, yes. Here's the list of chicks that just came in."

Where did the smiling face go? Now, I don't know why, but it's a grumpy voice full of complaints.

I stared blankly at her and opened my mouth awkwardly.

"I'm sure you're busy right now…I'm sorry I'm expecting so much from Ko."

And at that moment, Ko shouted sharply with a pointed voice.

"What? Do you think I'm doing this for that?"

"…then?"

Ko Yeon-joo's face is amazing when asked with her eyes wide open. Her lips and cheeks are slightly swollen, which is not like the usual shadow queen.

So when she didn't say anything, she laid down the record in her hand weakly.

"…Suhyun, do you know how long it's been since we've seen each other?"”

“?”

It was out of the blue, but the atmosphere was serious. Is it dawn that a woman's unique sensibility has burst?

Ko soon showed a sullen air and continued in a weak voice.

"I've been looking forward to the day I can go out.As soon as I got here, I just woke Suhyun up..”

“…….”

"I can tell you how you've been and I missed you at least one thing. But as soon as you saw it, you asked me how things went...I'm so sad. I was thinking about myself and wondering if I was the only one waiting.”

And the serene silence that followed.

“…….”

“…….”

I tilted my head for a moment. Then I was still lost in thought and then I rose up calmly.

Ko was still, looking very upset.

And I gently kissed her in the red cheeks.

Side

"Oh, my God."

a high performance with a signature sound

"Go, what all of a sudden? No! Do you think this will solve me?”

As soon as the soft skin touched her lips, Ko Yeon-joo was shocked and made a fuss.

I continued to speak naturally.

"I'd like another cup of tea, Ko Yeon-joo."

"What?"

Side

Then one more kiss, and she puts her hand on the cheek with a blank face.

"What are you doing?”

"What do you mean, Ko said last time. If you want to drink tea from now on, pay the price...That's why I paid in advance."

“…….”

"You're not going to eat it, are you?"”

I wonder if he just remembered. Ko showed a blank face, and soon burst into a blank smile. Then he raises his body, spilling me beautifully.

"Really. I can't live. Yeah, it's the one who fell in love."

"Ramon tea, please."

"Kick. I'll raise the price next time, so know that. I think you should put it on your lips, not on your cheeks.”

"Please."

Let's talk back as if we were told to do as we please, Ko changed her words.

"Come to think of it, one sex would be better."

"…that's a bit."

"Laughing."

Ko Yeon-ju's tea is a few small pleasures, and I don't think my body will survive.

"Hehe, hehe. Hehe, hehe."

Soon after, I hummed to the kitchen, and quickly picked up the record.

And it was time to calmly turn over one page, refining my excitement.

“!”

'This woman is...'

In the name that has been on my mind since the first page, I held onto the record reflexively.

============================ Review of the work ============================

I started writing a little late, so I was inevitably late. _(__)_

This week has been serialized every other day. I did my best to write it down, so if anyone was upset, I ask for your understand.

Next week is really closed.

It's a period of direct examination, so I think it'll be really hard to serialize. I'll pay more attention to the serialization when I have vacation after the exam is over.

Once again, I ask for your understanding, and I'll leave you alone.

Then have a good night, everyone. _(__)_
