MEMORIZE

Flashback

"Steel Mountains…?”

"Yes, the Steel Mountains."

After my reply, I looked at Jin Soo-hyun's appearance. You don't seem too surprised, but you don't seem too calm. It looks rather blank. He probably knows the rough idea, but he doesn't seem to have much in mind.

"The other day, the Central Administration talked about it once. Now get ready."

"How long do you mean by preparation?”

"Well, it depends on the situation, but six months at the earliest? Probably in a year at the latest."

"6 months to a year….”

Jin Soo-hyun tilted his head with an ambiguous face. I smiled inwardly. Yeah, it's ambiguous.

"That's how long it takes. Targeting the Steel Mountains is different from excavating other ruins. It's not just one clan, and the whole North Continent needs to work together."

"Come to think of it, I've heard that you've tried to target it once before.”

"That's just a rough headcount. Technically, it was like a kid's prank. I can't compare.”

"Oh, yeah? If you say so, I think so.... Hmm."

Jin Soo-hyun, who seemed to be in deep agony, wrapped her head in a drool. I tried my best to show the face of why. And tilt your head here. …I envy Ansol's ability to put a question mark on the top of his head at times like this.

Just looking at it like that, Jin Soo-hyun suddenly raises her head.

"Brother! Brother!"

"Uh, huh?"

"It's good to do it if you do it, right?”

"That?"

"Attacking the Steel Mountains. As you said, isn't it better to participate if the target order is given within a year?”

"Oh, that's it. That's all I'm saying. In fact, there's a good chance of death, but that's something you'll always have to live with. And I think there's a high possibility of targeting this time."

It's true. Because I'm going to participate this time.

"In fact, the North Continent is almost saturated now. Should I say there's nothing to pull out?"

"Oh, I think I know what you mean. That's why I went out to the unexplored areas."

"Yes, because this barbara is the same case. Like pioneering an area and discovering Barbara, attacking the Steel Mountains will lead to a new continent. Think about it. It's a whole new world. If you just go out of the city, the remains will come out like sausages."

"Oooooooooooooooooh.

Perhaps because of his tendency to be enthusiastic, Jin didn't seem to care about the high possibility of death. Only admiring and responding.

But that was also for a while. As they were talking as hard as they could, they could see Jin Soo-hyun slowly turning sullen.

"That's why it's good to participate. Those rights are given priority to those who participate in the attack. And…."

I continued to talk, and then I stopped talking in the middle of the day to find the right time.

"It's rumored that if you succeed in your attack, you'll get points for your capabilities…".Jin Soohyun?

"Yes, yes?"

"What's wrong? He's suddenly sullen."

"Oh, did it look like that?”

Jin Soo-hyun looked awkwardly smiling and sniffled. And even smacking his lips.

"Sniff. I like them all. Actually, it's not related to you, but...I'm suddenly worried about something."

"Worried?"

"Yes, I really want to participate, but the situation is not good for me. Can I participate as an individual?"”

"Oh."

You'd have a good look here that you didn't think of it.

"Well, come to think of it, yes. It's more likely to be selected by Clan than by individual. It's also about the big clanswer.

"As expected, right?”

"To put it bluntly. You said you had a Clan, but you're the only one on the team."

"Yes."

"Well, maybe it's hard. It may not be very unlikely, but the starting position may be very low."

“…….”

Then Jin Soo-hyun's face is noticeably half disappointed and half anxious. Jin Soo-hyun knows as he was once in the position of Clan Road. How hard it is to become a big clan in less than a year. I want to participate, but I can't.

Of course this was the part I was after. From now on, you can go out just like you did when you were a Ujungmin

There was silence for a while. After a long silence, I opened my mouth quietly.

"Actually, it's not that there's no way."

At that moment, Jin Soo-hyun's shoulders were greatly lifted. If you look at it, he's very responsive.

"You have to make a choice first. Will he join the Iron Mountains, or will he catch his breath and join forces?"

"That's definitely a target for the Steel Mountains. Because I'm sure it's vision. Anyway, what's the way?”

"Simple, to say the least, push for a Clan merger. Then the road will open."

"Mergeration?"

Jin Soo-hyun seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Then he suddenly looked awkward and said in a voice that felt bitter. Like I guessed I'd say this.

"Eh... So you want me to come into your clan?”

I pulled myself together. I expected this reaction anyway. It is important from here.

"Oh, did it sound like that? Then I'm sorry. We can't get your clan from our clan."

"…Yes?"

Jin Soo-hyun asked back with a disappointed face. It's like saying, "Oh, this isn't it." I shook my head with a gentle smile.

"Mercenary is a mercenary clan. That's why we don't have the concept of merger in the first place."

"What do you mean…?"

"Simply put, we're mercenaries. a free mercenary to be precise I register it as a Clan One, but it's actually a different concept from other Clan Clan One. Of course, there are people who are active because they are really good at shopping, but there are people who came in to gain experience or earn gold coins."

"Oh, no. It doesn't matter?”

Jin Soo-hyun asked right away if he had a little idea now. I nodded my head without hesitation. There are great examples of Woo Jung-min, Seon Yoo-woon, Won Hye-soo.

The problem is that they don't intend to go out, but now they think to their bones that they are a mechanical clan member.

"Of course. It doesn't matter. I accept as long as there is no defect. I repeat, he's a mercenary. From that point of view, there's no better environment than this, right? I'm trying to help each other."

"Helping..."

As soon as he connected his words, Jin Soo-hyun muttered in a low voice.

I thought this was enough, so I stretched as much as I could and pulled myself up. Jin Soo-hyun's eyes follow me.

"Anyway, I think I shouldn't have said anything. But think about the merger. If you want, I can introduce you to a good clan. Then…."

It was then.

"Now, wait a minute. Brother."

Suddenly, Jin Soo-hyun jumps up and grabs my hand. As I turned my eyes slightly, I stepped on a rather urgent, but cold, looker.

"Huh? Why? I'm tired."

And a little later.

"I'm sorry, but could you tell me a little more about the free mercenary?"

I could, in my mind, smile of compassion.

After communicating with Salmun, I moved to the place where Clan members were waiting.

On the way, I keep getting subtle feelings. I decided to do this in the first place, but I still feel empty in a corner of my mind.

What should I say? It's a bit disappointing. I'm a bit nervous. Or it's incredible.

…I wouldn't have done this if my opponent wasn't Zhugel Haesol.

Before long, I started to see Clan members and shook my head hard. Even if it's not the best, it's the second best. It's just about dealing with things, but murder is second to none to the performers.

Yeah, it's almost done, so what can I do now? I don't know if it's guilt or regret, but I don't want to stay held.

Thinking so, I stared ahead, still calming my pounding heart.

Cha Hee-young is right next to Ahn Hyun. And next to it, there were images of Jin Soo-hyun and Maeng A-ra. Maybe I arrived while I was away.

Fortunately, Ha-yeon seemed to be talking with a wrinkle-free face, and Jin Soo-hyun was not particularly awkward. On the contrary, as soon as he saw me, he waved his hands and was showing quite excitement.

Maeng-ah, on the other hand, was showing a complex attitude. I could feel resentment in the way he looked at me.

In fact, embracing Jin Soo-hyun meant that even guardians should be brought into the Clan. However, it was done with due consideration. Lee Hyo-eul wouldn't know. Maeng-ara was not a great threat, and now many angels had turned to me.

"Brother, we're here!"

After I raised my hand to Jin Soo-hyun who pretended to know, I immediately opened my mouth.

"It looks like we're all here.”

"Yes. Oh, Shin Jae-ryong said he's going to be late. I have to stop by the Central Administration, so I'll go separately afterwards. I want you to tell him.

It just so happened that Hayeon replied and I smiled blandly.

"It's a sin to be a general instructor. Anyway, let's get out of here. There are so many users, it's so hectic."

It certainly was. The surroundings are filled with loud noises. There are already a lot of people, but hundreds of people came in for the completion ceremony. Will that be all? It will be crowded with users trying to catch people who have not been offered outside.

Everyone nodded quickly to see if they felt the same way as me, so I immediately left the User's Academy and walked to the Warp Gate.

Except that there were many users, the road was smooth. While moving fast to Monica, Ahn Hyun just kept glancing at me. Soon after, I hesitated in front of Warp Gate, but I paid for Ahn Hyun's use without saying anything.

After moving to Monica like that, I had to make one important decision.

He decided to walk a little, or as far away as possible, from Jin Soo-hyun and Ansol, who are following him from the back. Like we're not in the same group.

"Ahem! That building is ours, too! It's a blacksmith's shop, and it's very rumored to make a decent income."

"Wow! So you guys airlift the equipment from there?”

"No, that's just a store that sells everything, a branch store. The main office is in Clan House. We never sell our equipment, but we specialize in weapons used by Clan members."

"Wow!"

"And that building. It's a love bar. Hannah and Yoojung run it together, so be careful. Hannah's food is okay, but Yoojung's food is really...Ouch! Why are you hitting me? The truth is, uh, uh? Yoo-jung? …My brother!"

"Wow!"

…when did we get so close? Of course, it's not just a bad view. Being sociable means you can adapt that quickly.

But no matter how much, it's embarrassing. Maybe I was the only one who felt that way, and Sun Yoo-woon and Cha So-rim were also walking next to me.

Before long, when the Clan House of the Memorial was visible.

A sudden thought flashed through my head, and I talked to the sound of tea.

"User car noise."

"Yes."

"I'm sorry I didn't come back soon."

"…hiccup."

Cha Sa-rim calmly hiccuped. Then he looked at me in a calm manner, and then he calmly blushed. And slowly start to step back.

The reaction was so calm and natural, and when I laughed inside, my appearance had already disappeared.

In fact, I wanted to chase him and tease him more, but I immediately gave up my mind. Because it had already arrived at Clan House.

I walked straight inside, feeling dozens of people felt lined up.

The front door was already wide open.

In the garden, as expected, dozens of Clan members stood side by side from side to side around the main gate. And Cho Seung-woo, who had a emaciated face in the middle, welcomed me with a smile.

"User Cho Seung-woo. My face..."

"Oh, welcome. I've been waiting for you. Clan Load."

Clan members bowing their heads at the same time. At the same time, the noise that was continuously heard behind the back was cut off. Fortunately, I thought I was sensible, and I gestured up. It was a sign to raise your head now.

"They're all out. I'm on my way back from the completion ceremony."

"Yes, I heard the details from user Jung Ha-yeon yesterday."

"That's great. So how was everything?”

"Oh, you know. Actually…."

Whoosh.

It was then. Just as Cho Seung-woo was about to continue his horse, he suddenly felt the flow of mana in his arms. I tried to put my hand in reflexively, but I paused for a moment.

However, Cho Seung-woo, who was quick to sense, immediately memorized the spell and hung the block field, and as soon as the field was formed, he took out a correction tool for communication.

Communication at Salmun. Did you finish it already?

I immediately let go of mana.

(MERIAL LOAD.)

"What? Are you done already?”

(We'd like to ask you again. I'm not kidding right now. What on earth made you do the request?)

"What does that mean? What are you thinking?”

I'm not the kind of person who's going to mess with you. Oh, it doesn't matter if I say it now?)

"It doesn't matter, it's in the block field."

Then Sujeong-gu remained silent for a while. I don't know what you're talking about, so when I put the crystal ball close to me, the one who wrapped the black cloth falls far away.

All right, first of all, I've definitely found the chick you mentioned. Jegal Hasol, right?

"That's accurate."

(Then try entering the Clan House quickly. I don't think you know the Medical Road either, so please check it out and get back to me.)

"…why? I just got in the Clan House."

I'm glad to hear that. You'll find out soon. …and be careful. I don't think it's a wager, that girl. I approached him with my guard down, but I almost got caught.)

"…what? You guys?"

(That's all we have to say anyway. All right, bye then.)

"Wait a minute…."

But even before the end of the conversation, the communication between Sujeong-gu was cut off. As I stood blankly in a ridiculous mood, I could feel the block field slowly disappearing.

A little later.

Cho Seung-woo glanced at the crystal ball and opened his mouth in a worried tone.

"Are you all right? Clan Road. You don't look good."

"…It's not a big deal. It's okay. What were you going to say?

"Oh, well. A customer just came by. He said he wanted to see Clan Lord, so I guided him for now."

"A guest?"

Asked right back, Cho Seung-woo looked back at the main building and nodded lightly.

"Yes, you were dressed as a user academy.”

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

1 o'clock safe!

Personally, I don't like stories where Jegal Haesol survives and becomes a big enemy. -_-a I'd probably be damned if I wrote that. Or create a situation where you can't help it. Hah, hah, hah.

Of course, there is a story like that, but if I wanted to do it, I would have used it for Yoo Hyun-ah. K_K
