MEMORIZE

Of course, it is hard to say that Han So-young's choice of "iron blood queen" is unconditionally wrong. During the "Mountain Range where dragons are asleep," banning access to areas where it is difficult to reach can certainly be a way.

But who knew? I didn't expect that choice to return to this disaster a year later. If I knew this would happen, I think it would've been better to attack him no matter how hard it was.

So this case, maybe it's a warning. I mean, to users who didn't recognize the difference between the old and the new continents, did Atlanta warn them? At least I think so.

"Oppa…."

The woman who opened the door was Lee Yu-jung. I felt a little unexpected, but I think I know why I came when I saw his eyes full of hesitation. Lee Yu-jung walked slowly and stopped in front of the desk.

"What's going on? Are you here to stab me again today?”

"Oh, oh? No....”

It was a light joke, but Lee Yu-jung showed an unexpected response. He bows his head and mutters in a crawling voice. His eyes narrowed sadly and his mouth wobbled as if he were about to shed tears. Oh, I didn't mean to make you cry. Perhaps he is quite mindful of what happened then.

"Just kidding. Anyway, why?"

"Uh-huh. You look very busy.

"Huh? Then it's a mess. Well, I've done a pretty good job."

"Oh, but, you know, is this a must-do thing?”

“……?”

"You seem to be in a very bad mood.I don't think he's up to it."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Oh, no. I was just wondering if I shouldn't. Of course I don't deserve to say this."

After speaking, Lee Yu-jung smiled awkwardly. I sigh automatically. This is because I felt him swirling his words from before. His mouth keeps moving, and it seems like he's hesitating. I shook my head and opened my mouth.

"You can't do that. I've been telling you, the fashionista is now a representative clan. How have we been able to get to this position?”

"Huh?"

"It's no longer a mercenary clan running in a corner of the city. It's completely sunny. But if you choose what you want to do, how long do you think you'll survive on this floor?”

"I don't know, does it?"

"Yeah. If I became a commercial, representative clan, I changed. Or now there's nothing special about the machine. As soon as this rumor goes around, you're wasting a lot of money you've invested in the city. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see.

What are you talking about? You didn't understand a bit. Anyway, I thought I gave her enough time to get things straight, but Lee Yu-jung still showed signs of hesitation. Eventually, I decided to bring it up first.

"No."

"Huh?"

"You're here to get in the way of the expedition.”

"…hehe. Did you get caught?"

He showed a blank light for a moment, but he admitted it a beat later anyway. As expected, laughter is clumsy.

"Oppa, I'm confident that I'm good at this...".”

"No, I don't want to let you in. Go back."

"…why?"

"It's not something you can afford. …no, I don't know what to do this time either."

"Oppa."

"Yoojung."

He flatly refused. When I cut her off right away, Lee Yu-jung chews her mouth. I slowly lifted myself up and continued to talk.

"I understand your greed to build performance. But…."

"That's not it!"

At the beginning of the year, a slightly raised voice rang in my ears as I was about to go out to the terrace. As I turned around, I saw Lee Yu-jung, who was breathing hard. Then, soon he spits out his trembling breath.

"It doesn't matter now. Performance? You don't have to give it to me."

"Huh?"

"I don't know, I don't know. But I've been feeling so tight lately, I just want to pierce it. I want to check something out for myself. I really don't know anything, but I think I should do something about it.”

“…….”

I hear a series of words that are slightly out of tune. I want to say it clearly myself, but I don't think I can say it as I thought. That's why you're throwing it like this. But the light red eyes have an unexpected sense of desperation. I feel as if I'm desperately appealing to you to know that it's okay just once.

"I don't want to be like Anhyun. I'm doing this because I want to do it the way you used to, to the extent you allow me to."

I smiled blandly at the mournful voice.

"Is that a threat?"

"No, please. Anything will do. I'll do what you tell me to do. I'll do what you tell me to do. I'll never obey you. You can start from the bottom...!”

Feeling so sad about the radish, Lee Yu-jung was unable to speak and sniffled. I lit a fire with the beginning of the year in my mouth. Then, looking towards the terrace, I was still lost in thought. I can start from the bottom? Haha. That's a good word. For Lee Yu-jung.

In fact, I had to take one more person because my brother's seat was empty. I've been thinking about it all this time. The main problem is, you can't take anyone. If he had chosen only with his ability, he would not have thought this much.

The reason why I didn't select Ko is that I didn't need a close-up line anymore, and I need to have one user to lead the Clan while I'm away. The reason why I didn't select Vivien was because he had such a strong personality in terms of ability.

The reality was that there were no such users, who had to be skilled in elemental magic, and who did not harm the harmony of the expedition. It's better not to take anyone with you than just pick anyone. We're at least in sync right now. However, due to the nature of the place, it is an unexpected dilemma because it has to meet 15 people unconditionally.

So, Lee Yu-jung's words are a little tempting.

"…really?"

"Huh?"

"You can start from the bottom. Are you sure?"

"Uh…, yeah!"

Did he feel hope from what I said? Lee Yu-jung shouted, making her eyes as big as a lantern. I gradually reduced the distance by spitting out long smoke.

"I may not be able to join the battle. You're gonna do all sorts of chores. Doesn't that matter?”

"Sa, it doesn't matter!”

Now, he even moves his head endlessly.

"Can I really trust you? I don't know if you know, but this expedition isn't about ability selection. The union was selected first. And you can stand it? Really?"

"If I do something that bothers you, you can kill me on the spot."

"That's not what I'm saying. Why would I kill you?"

"No, I'm telling you. If you tell me to go somewhere and die, I'll go and die right away. Really."

Then do you have any thoughts of dying in bed? I wanted to say, but I managed to put up with it. This is because the atmosphere of Lee Yu-jung was very serious to make jokes.

Anyway, that's great. It is a hundred times better to save the current union than to ruin the harmony by picking anyone for nothing. The rest of the users will be only concerned about the expedition, preserving their combat power, and Lee Yu-jung will take on other tasks as she said.

"Okay, go get ready. You'd better be determined."

"Oh, brother!"

The moment she finally gave her permission, Lee Yu-jung finally smiled brightly. It remains to be seen how that smile will change in the next few days.

…I wonder if it's a good thing.

The fog was a little heavy, but it was a cool and calm day. Fourteen users, including myself, gathered at the main gate of the southern city at dawn. Han So-young came earlier than me, and the melody arrived on time.

The guard at the front door was glancing at us with a nervous look on his face. I didn't say anything, but everyone wore thick robes. Perhaps they see it as an insidious group of bad-quality conspiracies.

"Are we all here? I think we're missing one person."

"There he comes."

When asked, taking his eyes off the guard, Kim Han-byul spoke in a strangely discontented tone. Staring at the direction he is pointing at, Lee Yu-jung is seen rushing with a total of three Chaos Mi-mik around her body. Not only red hair, but Chaos Mi-mik near the waist was moving smoothly.

After a while, Lee Yu-jung arrived at the same time as she heard the sound of baby Chaos Mi-mik, who cried low as if she was getting motion sickness.

"Oh, you're in last place. I hate people who are late for appointments the most."

Sunyoul said, twisting her hair with a smile on her face.

"…Sorry, I'm sorry. I've been checking the items I've prepared."

Lee Yu-jung looked at me for a moment, and the awkwardness bowed. A giggle of melody followed.

"I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding~ By the way, I'm really looking forward to this expedition, as the gladiator of Dawn plays the porter.”

Sunyoul smiled brightly and shrugged. And, "Are we going to be close friends? She said, "It's just my style," and even hugged Lee Yu-jung. Although it seems harmless, his hands touch the stern part. As I turned my eyes, I saw Lee Yu-jung desperately raising the corner of her mouth next to Kim Han-byul, who was complaining about something. Looking at me anxiously, it's like asking, 'Do I have to put up with this?'

"Well, then…."

After giving Sunyoul a proper hint, quietly rhyme and look around. Then I suddenly realized that I was relying on my brother more than I thought. Even at this moment right before departure, I feel sorry that I don't have a brother. Standing in a dark wizard coat, but looking at me, how reliable would it have been if I had a brother who smiled a little? That's how sad the absence of his brother is.

"No, no, no. Get a hold of yourself, Kim Soo-hyun!

In time I shook my head violently. It was because I suddenly felt Han So-young's clear gaze. Maybe you just read my psychology.

It's time now. Currently, the number of users is also at a level where there is no shortage. In fact, I can't guarantee whether this expedition will be successful or not, and I don't know if it's right to go like this.

However, I know that I should not sit still like this. Obviously not my fault, but the water has already spilled. To get out of the coming disaster, maybe it's 'Golden Time'. Yes, now is the perfect time. You must succeed unconditionally.

"Let's go."

Thinking so, I turned around announcing my departure. We've already prepared, so we left the main gate without delay.

"Sa, we wish you the best of life!"

Soon after, the cry of resident guards from the rear announced the start of a full-fledged expedition.

*

On the first day, the march was in a good mood. In the form of a general earthquake centered around Yi Yu-jung, we walked across the red wasteland without hesitation. Out of the wasteland, until the sun was set, no monsters met. Rather, he only encountered caravans returning from expeditions from time to time. A tremendous rate of stabilization. This is proof of how much attention users have been paying to Atlanta.

However, the fourth day after leaving the city.

We were able to face the first area to pass, the vast, blue meadow, with no end in sight.

And...

"…Suhyun, wait a minute. Something's wrong."

Lim Han-na, who kneeled on one knee, called me without taking her eyes off the ground.

It was the voice that marked the end of the three-day march.

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

Oh, some readers seem to have a misunderstanding. The preview system is not a spoiler, but a way for me to let you know when the series will be uploaded that day. The midnight series is the best, but if it's this late, there will be people waiting for it to come up. So I started to reduce the burden a little, but I've been cut off for a while because I couldn't even meet the preview time recently. I'm still thinking about it. The notice system has certain advantages, but I don't think I can guarantee that the same thing won't happen again. If there are a lot of people who want it, I'll try to make it work again. Of course, I'll keep trying to do a midnight series. _(__)_
