MEMORIZE

A little later.

Kim Han-byeol, who rose up casually, sat quietly in her chair and straightened her clothes.

"Sorry."

But the whole time, staring at me, I had no choice but to apologize. Because I felt silent pressure in my eyes.

"…That's too much."

Kim Han-byeol, who stopped looking at her until then, lowered her eyes slightly and pouted her mouth. I laughed inside.

Jewelry. I thought it was a cute nickname.

"Yeah, what brings you here all of a sudden?”

"It's hot and you're thirsty..”

Kim Han-byul's eyes fall gently to the table. The cup on the table was full of ice, so the cup was full of water. It looks really cool.

"Yes, thank you."

But I pushed the cup to one side slightly. I'm grateful, but I don't feel like drinking now.

Kim Han-byul looked at the cup I pushed away for a moment and stared at me calmly.

"…I think you have a problem."

I'm worried.

Yeah, I'm definitely thinking about it. But it's not your concern to interfere.

"Why. Do you want to take care of it?"

Of course, I can't be so straightforward, so I changed my words.

"Is it because of Hamill Lord?”

But I had no choice but to look away at the words that came right away.

Kim Han-byul was still staring at me with an unshakable face. Did the rumor go out?

He shook his head slowly as if he was not Kim Han-byul, reading my expression. I felt a bit of a pinch.

"…is it too obvious?”

"A lot. And I'm sure many of you have already noticed, not just me. Because my brother and Hamill Lord....”

"Hey, that's a false rumor.”

"No, that's not it.”

"Hm?"

"You two have a blood relationship. Brothers."

Oh, my God. You know how a thief feels.

"Also, considering the situation in the West, isn't your concern obvious to anyone?"

"Hmm."

The situation is in the West. I stared at Kim Han-byul in a new mood.

Since he was young, he has been able to read the situation in his own way, as he is smart.

I opened my mouth quietly.

"So what do you want to say?"

The voice had subsided considerably even to himself.

"I just don't want you to worry too much.”

Kim Han-byeol also changed the subject immediately, as if he felt it.

Don't worry.

In fact, it was a cliche similar to "Cheer up," but at least I could feel the sincerity in the way you spoke.

"Of course I'd love to."

I picked up the cup that I pushed earlier. Twirling round and round like a circle, he continued.

"But not everything in the world is going my way, is it?”

"That's true."

"That's the situation right now. It's not a matter of doing it or not doing it. It's just how you do it."

"Ugh…."

What's wrong with him?

Kim Han-byeol listened to the story, not too much, in moderation. Kim Han-byeol, who is not even another user, feels quite awkward.

On the one hand, on the other hand, it felt a little bit fresh. The fact that Kim Hanbyeol is listening to me like this and the fact that I'm talking about this right now. Should I say it feels like I'm complaining?

"But I don't know how. Even now, I'm not relieved, but as I said before, there are more than one or two things that get caught."

"Then why don't you solve the problems?”

Kim Han-byul said in a calm voice.

I laughed bitterly.

And when I was about to say is it easier said than done.

"As it is, the Northern Expedition is gone, and you want to help Hamill Lord. Wouldn't that be the most important thing?”

Kim Han-byul's voice was heard first.

“…….”

I finally turned completely. Kim Han-byul, who flinched her body as she made eye contact with him, immediately opened her mouth.

"No, of course I don't know what you're talking about, and it's just my guess…".”

"That's funny. Keep talking."

I stopped talking in the middle and stomped lightly.

Then the energy of mana that was flowing around changed. It is a kind of interference that was used to talk to Maeng-ara before. It was blocked in advance so that the sound would not flow out.

Looking back with surprised rabbit eyes for a moment.

Kim Han-byul stared at me again soon. The white and fine Mokwooldae paints the weak Gojeo.

"Uh, it's a guess anyway..”

"Except for conjecture."

"First of all, if you think about the East's target status and the West's participation….”

"With a big head."

"…I don't think we need to look at the Eastern side first."

"Why?"

I asked right away.

"But now the East has to be cautious. Even if they don't like your brother's behavior, what can I say openly? Will I ask for isolation to protect my pride?"

Kim Han-byeol also replied without delay.

…okay. I was thinking about this the same way too.

But this wasn't the only problem.

Rather, the remaining obstacles were the real problems facing reality.

"Okay, but apart from that, the North doesn't want my help either. …exactly. And the reason is very reasonable."

"I see, but don't you think the other person doesn't have to know when you're helping?”

"What?"

"It's inevitable if Hamill Lord refuses. But it's not like there's no way. You can help me without knowing."

At that moment, I felt a strain in my eyes.

Help me without knowing. It's not that I don't know the meaning of this word.

In other words, Kim Han-byeol said, "Look at the fashion statement now and take the role of insurance."

"But then…!”

"Yes, we'll have a problem.”

It was what he said.

There are two questions left. It was Han So-young's permission and Clan members' persuasion, but what was more difficult was the latter. Because the Clan members have no reason to help the North at the expense of everything like me.

But Kim Han-byul was saying that there is only so much left. And that was true.

"…I'd rather take only Clan members who would follow me?"

"Never. That's the worst choice. If you really do that, the Clan members as well as the Southern users will think of you as arbitrary. In other words, credibility and reputation are shaken.”

“…….”

"…It's hard, but you have to persuade the Clan members.”

Kim Han-byul spoke in an earnest voice, but I shook my head. It's not hard enough.

"How am I supposed to tell you when there's no justification? You're just saying to lean on affection or loyalty.”

"Can't you do that?"

“…….”

"Why?"

It was a strange question to say no unconditionally.

I've never moved without a reason since I entered the second round. I tried to act with some purpose no matter what I did. And I asked Clan One to do the same. That's how the current beauty was created.

However, Kim Han-byul's words surprised me once again.

"You've made a lot of sacrifices for your specialty. But why shouldn't Clan members do that?”

"Sacrifice? Me?"

"Yes. You saved Hyun and Jaeyong with your life the other day."

"It's…."

"Or, you've taken away the users who might not have been your brother and raised them well.”

“…….”

…I've never thought of it like that. I thought even that was a process to achieve the goal.

"Of course, there has always been a good reason for your behavior. And it produced the best results under any circumstances.

But not all Clan members are brothers. There's no guarantee you'll think like your brother."

Yeah, there's no guarantee it will. But wouldn't anyone think so?

"What you're worried about is how to move the Clan members with the achievements you get from helping the North.

But for me, he's not just judging the current situation by performance….”

I listened quietly to what he said. Contrary to earlier, this time I'm listening to Kim Han-byul.

"I sincerely hope that the Clan members will seek help to know and empathize with your thoughts."

I mean it. I mean it.

“…….”

For a moment, there was silence.

"The Clan members... Do you really think so?”

In a shaky mind, I managed to open my mouth.

"I don't know. It's not something I can say for sure."

The reply was realistic enough to feel a little heartless.

"But... I think it's hard for me to turn a blind eye to you."

But the words didn't end there, and they continued cautiously.

"…I always believe in you and I want to respect your decision."

Finally, Kim Han-byul shut up.

Once again, silence fell, and I was still lost in thought.

I mean it.

It's actually easy to just bring it up. But it's a little hard to put one's heart into words.

And I think it's even more, really difficult to make the other person understand and empathize with sincerely. …at least on my part.

But if this is the only way....

It was then.

Suddenly, a cup pushed to one side of the table was stepped on.

Suddenly, I felt like I was possessed, so I reached out, grabbed the cup, and tilted it to my mouth. With every sip of liquid, a refreshing, heartbreaking energy spreads throughout the body. I feel like I'm clearing my mind.

As I slowly tilt my head, the sunny weather and bright sunlight still color my vision. I closed my eyes gently.

Suddenly, my brother's words crossed my mind.

I'll do as much as I can. I think it's right to do this.'

…yes.

Well, let me try.

Let's do as much as we can.

Let's make a decision without regret, rather than staying helpless even though we're gone.

It's not that there's no way. I just thought there wasn't.

If you don't have it, you can create it even if you run into it.

He opened his eyes.

I raised myself without hesitation. I can feel the glare below.

I opened my mouth quietly.

"Hanbyeol, I have a favor to ask you."

*

Time went by, and the night deepened.

Dinner is over and construction work is over.

Now, all that's left is to stand guard or go into a tent to sleep.

But only one place didn't. No, it's not accurate to say I didn't do well.

Each of the members of the Military Clans had to gather in front of a tent without going to the end of the day. There's only one reason. Because Clan Lord's call dropped.

Rumbling.

The more clan members gathered, the more chaotic the commotion naturally arose.

"Hey, what the hell's going on?"

"Well, I was called all of a sudden. That's also late at night."

"There's not much to do now.Oh, is it because of that?

"Hmm? That?"

The Clan members, who hadn't noticed yet, tilted their heads.

"…I think you've made a decision."

"Uh, sister. Don't tell me.You don't, do you?”

"Then you couldn't have brought us together like this.”

"That's ridiculous. What about us? There's no justification, no justification."

Some noticed Clan members whispered on one side.

However, the disturbance quickly subsided when Kim Soo-hyun walked out of the tent.

"…I think we're all here.”

After a while, Kim Soo-hyun, who looked through the Clan members, said in a calm voice.

As some Clan members stared at Kim Soo-hyun in a nervous manner, the faces of other Clan members who were nervous also hardened.

"Then I have to tell you why I paged you.I'm sure some of you have already noticed."

Kim Soo-hyun bit his mouth a little, whether he felt a heavy atmosphere formed.

"But I don't intend to hide it anymore, and I won't beat around the bush. I'll tell you straightforwardly."

“…….”

"I'm…. our specialty….”

“…….”

And

"We hope that the Northern Expedition will act as insurance for the Third Region, which is being targeted now."

Finally, Kim Soo-hyun's soft voice rang the Clan members' ears.

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

I'm sorry I took a day off yesterday.

I rushed to the emergency room after receiving a call from an acquaintance. It was said that he rolled hard while riding a bicycle on a hill with some slope, but fortunately, it didn't affect his life. The surgery went well.

Even though I had a cast all over my right leg due to a broken bone, what do I do with my bike? Carbon blah, it's for players, but it's now discontinued, so it's hard to get parts. Seeing his back grumble (I'd say it's actually him). -_-a) We're back with confidence.

Anyway, I'll continue to publish it normally from today.

The 3rd region target part will start from the 611th.

Thank you.
