MEMORIZE

By the time Gehenna's cheeks were slowly fading away, I managed to escape and find some leeway. As I rubbed my tingling mouth and looked around, the sight caught my eye surprised me greatly.

A vast space of more than 100 pyeong, covering the office, study, terrace, bathroom, and bedroom, comes into view one by one. A large well-organized desk. Round table and antique sofa. A fluffy red carpet with a golden border. Glamorous decorations to decorate the walls.

This is...

"It's my room, isn't it?”

Commercial Castle, the Oval Office on the fourth floor. I felt a familiar feeling in my sleep, but I never thought it would really be an office bed.

"It's a pretty good place."

I can hear a natural voice. As soon as she got out of bed, Henna laid back, holding her left elbow with her right hand. The sunlight that came through the window colors the red roses that stretch brilliantly with gold. Your daily life is just a pictorial.

"…Huh?"

At that time, when she was tying up her messy hair and organizing it, Henna glanced at me and squinted her eyes and closed her hands gently. Oh, my God, I was mesmerized without knowing.

After an awkward cough, I managed to return to the original surprise.

"Gehenna, what's going on here?”

"Hmm? Isn't this your room?"

I said to myself why I asked, but Gehenna's face has an irresistible playfulness. I don't think he'll just tell me.

I was lost in thought and then opened my mouth.

"How many days have I been asleep?"

"Right after I fell down, I had four days off. It's been five days."

"Hmm... So you've been saved again?"

"That said, but it was a bit cringe-worthy. It's like handing out life to humans, releasing a bucket of seawater from the ocean.”

She waved her hands as if it was nothing, but Gehenna's voice was very solemn. It sounded like I wouldn't let it go if I said something shameful using this opportunity. I don't think it's going to end with my mouth this time, so I decided to stay quiet.

Thinking that way, I decided to solve the questions one by one.

But I don't understand no matter how hard I think about it. This "Snowfield of the Glaciers" expedition was a long way planned for three months' round trip. This is also a schedule that calculates transportability of Zhugel Haesol. In other words, it took 45 days to get there, so it's natural to take 45 days to get there.

But how could he skip 45 days? Without leap into space....

"Oh."

A sudden thought crossed my mind.

Gehenna smiled blandly, as if she had heard my exclamation.

"While you were down, I learned a little about the world. …Actually, it was a little surprising."

Having said so, Henna suddenly shut up. A face staring at me, a conflicting look crossed my mind whether to say or not.

"How was it?"

I asked in a curious mood,

"I don't know. It's only been hundreds of years, and I've regressed incredibly. No. It's really embarrassing to call it regression.”

Gehenna gave a cold assessment without hesitation.

I didn't get angry. Because it's true. Although there is a time difference, it is inevitable to agree with the heroes and current residents who met in the "Range where the dragon slept." As Gehenna said, it is embarrassing to call it regression.

"I didn't know, but I couldn't even move space properly. I felt a little pathetic."

"Space movement is…Still, Zhugel Haesol."

"Oh, the kid. I've seen it, but it's a pretty savage and primitive way. Far from efficient management, it's a way to pour mana recklessly.”

"Oh, yeah?"

A bitter smile came out. Zhugel Haesol, who praised Magnakarta as a genius, is undervalued without exception in front of Gehenna. Well, in a way, it's natural.

"…Well, considering the current situation, it's a bit creative."

Gehenna kicked her tongue and glanced at me and continued. Was it a little too much? It was so cute to see him correct his words while reading others' faces.

"So, you flew right into space?”

"Yes, the coordinates were a bit of a problem, but your place of residence was close to the milestone I knew."

"Lee Jung-pyo?"

"You're ugly. Have you forgotten how you got back?"

It was only then that Gehenna recalled the existence of the tower. I scratched my head with a smile on my face. The milestone is half a day away from Atlanta. Because I woke up five days ago. That means he returned to the city three days ago at the most.

Suddenly, curiosity arose.

How Gehenna was summoned.

What happened while I was asleep.

What Gehenna said.

How the Clan members reacted.

But most of all.

There was a question that was more important than anything.

In the future, Gehenna was most curious about what would happen, that is, whether she lived or not.

But I didn't have the heart to ask. Because I was so nervous.

Why don't you come with me?.’

'Hu-hoo. Not bad.’

'But.'

'...can you handle it?’

Then Gehenna did. He's not allowed to be in the middle world. Even if we go together, we have to come back one day.

In order for Gehenna to continue in the middle world, a corresponding price is needed. But I can't afford to collect such offerings. The word 'handle' included such a meaning.

“…….”

“…….”

Suddenly, a stealthy silence came out and surrounded Gehenna.

I desperately tried to come up with another topic. As I turned my eyes calmly, I found a plump belly. Yeah, that would be nice. Did you say your name was Suna??

"I…."

"Are you feeling well now?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Gehenna took a step back and firmly cut me off. When he gave his head blankly, Gehenna's mouth suddenly disappeared.

"That's a relief, then….”

“……?”

"Now you have to do your duty.”

"Responsibility?"

When asked back, Gehenna nodded sternly.

"I hear you're the head of the clan that represents this city."

"Well, by the way. Who told you that?”

"It doesn't matter at all. Anyway, if you are the king who leads a city, you will have your work to do."

"Gehenna, it's....”

I shook my head and tried to get close.

But before I took a step forward,

"What a king."

It was short, but Sustle-Purran denied me access.

"Before you control it, you must know how to know everything."

My eyes, like an abstract, look at me gently.

The bright red eyes that burn silently face me and continue to talk.

"There will be a priority for you. I mean, weigh the gravity of your work. I think it's right to care about me after fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations appropriate for your current position."

"Gehenna."

"I don't think I didn't understand."

"So…."

"Please, I hope you don't disappoint me."

“…….”

Gehenna's voice was stern and still as if she were scolding severely. The words that follow are as sharp as rain, scratching the insides.

Suddenly a ray of clear energy rose in my head. Yes, Gehenna's words are irrefutable. We need to go back to the expedition this time and check the compensation message for achievement. There will also be piles of work to be done, even if it is not an expedition.

At the thought of it like that, I managed to straighten up my posture.

"Yes, Gehenna. I think you're right."

Then Gehenna's eyes drew a soft line and showed a calm smile again.

"I'm sorry if I offended you. But I knew you'd understand."

"No. It's okay. Haha."

"Of course, I don't want to be loved, but...I don't want to shake the foundations you've achieved. Technically, I'm a rock that'll roll."

"That's our proverb. Did anyone ever say that?”

Gehenna didn't say anything, just smiled.

"And I....”

Henna was about to say something out of the blue.

Suddenly, I felt like I knew what Gehenna was worried about. If Gehenna had not misheard, she would have said it was a rolled stone, not a rolling stone. But if it was intentionally a rock that would roll....

Is that right? It's a stone that won't get stuck in the side anyway, so look back at the stones that are already stuck? That's how Gehenna drew the line.

My stomach is growling!

It was that moment. As soon as my heart was about to ache, the sudden boiling of my stomach rang without a single head. Then came a severe hunger, and at the same time, I felt a burning sensation on my face.

"Kick."

Gehenna opened her eyes wide and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands. However, seeing his shoulders tremble, he must have heard it. Damn it, this time of day....

"It's work or nothing, and I think we should eat first."

"I can't help it. Human beings have to eat because of their physical structure..”

I don't know why, but it felt like a lame excuse to myself.

*

As soon as I came out of the door despite the awkwardness, I had no choice but to stop walking.

"Oh."

"Oh, my."

In the hallway, the woman who was walking toward the office stood still walking. Surprised gray eyes look at me.

"Su, Suhyun."

"Playing Ko?"

"Wake up. Is that you?”

"Yes, I just woke up."

Then, Ko, who swept her heart down with a sigh, approached slowly, calmly, gathering face. And he smiled at me face to face.

"That's a relief. I've been told I'm fine, but I've been really worried."

"Oh, I'm sorry. But as you can see, there's nothing wrong with it."

Wait. But why is Ko Yeon-joo here? I'm sure he's still a user academy instructor.

Ko smiled as if she had read my thoughts.

"Don't worry, I've made it clear. I'm going to commute for a while."

"Going to work? Did Lee Hyo-eul allow you?"

"Su-hyun's condition was slightly leaked. He gave me exceptional permission to be quite surprised, too."

"That kind of…."

It was then. Ko suddenly turned to the side and looked puzzled. I could feel the sign of Gehenna.

For a moment, I was like, "Oops." It's an unexpected surprise. My mind turns white and my vision is dizzy.

But

"Oh…."

To my surprise.

"Was your sister with you?”

Ko Yeon-joo smiled broadly and spoke.

"Well, I thought it was time to wake up."

Gehenna also replied with familiarity.

For one moment, I lost my mind in a different sense.

But Ko passed me and gently folded her arms in Gehenna's arms. Gehenna does not specifically reject the act of high performance.

"That's mean. I would have waited with you if you had told me in advance."

"Hu-hoo. You look busy.

"Hmph. You're lying. Anyway, where were you two going?”

"Oh, I think he's pretty hungry. I was going to the restaurant."

Ko Yeon-joo, who is friendly, and Henna, who speaks kindly like her own sister.

…what could possibly have happened to this time? I can't get rid of my confusion in my head.

Of course while I was asleep, Gehenna would have established her own relationship with Clan One. But no matter how much, this is way out of line. I thought I wouldn't be in a very good position, if not in a cold position.

But the way you see it now, doesn't it look like a close sister? If someone actively led and helped to adapt. At most, it is a relationship that can never be achieved in three days.

"I was talking to my heart's content and my stomach started growling. It was so funny."

"Really, I can't stop him. Then I'll go with you. I'll help you."

"That's enough. I told you to stop treating the elderly and the weak."

"Im, mountain, and wealth, not the elderly and the weak."

Before long, the two women began to walk in the hallway, leaving me behind.

Just looking at it, Ko Yeon-joo, who was talking about Dorandoran, suddenly turned her head. Then they looked at me and closed one eye.

At that moment, that smile with eyes.

“…….”

It cleansed my chest, which was full of anxiety and fear.

*

Even after arriving at the restaurant, the surprise continued.

While I was stuttering and greeted by Clan members, the two women sat at a completely different table and continued the amicable atmosphere. Starting with Ko, Im Han-na, Jung Ha-yeon, Park Da-som, and even Won Hye-soo will sit at the table one by one. It wasn't loud enough, but it's rather nice to talk quietly.

"Hey! You're here again today!"

At that moment, a pleasant cry rang out in the kitchen. No-no was waving the ladle with a bright face with her chin in one hand.

"Be prepared! I'm sure you'll be told it's delicious today."

"Well, I'll give you one piece of confidence. I'll look forward to it."

Gehenna replied leisurely, gently burying herself in a chair. Then light cheers and laughter flowed from here and there.

…I'm really curious. What the hell has been going on all this time? No, it's been so long since I've had such a bright atmosphere.

Feeling somewhat happy and disturbed, I took out a car at the beginning of the year and asked. But someone snatched the fire gently before it could be lit. As I raised my eyes in silence, I saw a brother Sangnam with a good smile.

"Oh, my God, Clan Lord. There's a pregnant woman, too. Please refrain from it'”

"Oh, yes, I will."

"You've been starving for three whole days. I'll put it on a mild dish that doesn't strain my body."

"Boo, please."

Sang-nam left with a smile, followed by another man. It was Cho Seung-woo who had a handsome impression.

"Users Cho Seung-woo?"

"Clan Lord, congratulations on your life."

Cho Seung-woo bowed his head and smiled.

After a while, after exchanging ceremonial greetings, I led Cho Seung-woo to the table. All right, so this is a way out of alienation.

"You've been through a lot."

"Come on, no. I'm used to it now. What."

Cho Seung-woo said in a joking tone and made a fuss, but somehow half felt sincere.

"Did anything special happen while I was away?”

In fact, I threw it to see if there was anything special, but unexpectedly, Cho Seung-woo's reaction was strange. Sneakly turn your eyes, open your mouth, and close your mouth repeatedly. Did something happen again?

"What is it?"

It was only once again that Cho Seung-woo opened his mouth.

"Actually… there was an indirect conflict with other cities regarding their Clan."

Oh, it's a conflict. I really didn't think of this. There seems to be a series of unexpected things happening today.

"Where are you?"

"I'm Eastantel Low Clan, the city's representative."

However, as soon as I heard what followed, I realized that I couldn't find it more interesting.

At the same time as the salivation came out on its own, the restaurant suddenly became quiet. Dozens of pairs of eyes are pouring from all sides. The fact that everyone knows this much proves that even an indirect conflict is unusual.

"Istantel Lowra….”

I tapped the table with my fingertips and opened my mouth in a low voice.

"I guess we need to call a meeting.”

"Oh, no, no! It's all right!"

However, Cho Seung-woo suddenly jumped and waved his hand.

"Hmm? Why?"

"I'm sure you're not feeling well because you just woke up. I shouldn't have said that. So after you've fully recovered....”

I was wondering what you were talking about. I shook my head with a bland smile.

"It's okay. I'm in better shape than ever. I feel like I was born again."

"Oh… haha."

"There's more to it than that crash, right?”

"That's…"

"Then let's call a meeting because we have to sort things out for the expedition. By the way, did you have lunch?"

"Oh, no. Not yet."

Cho Seung-woo stuttered, perhaps it was a random question.

"Then let's eat together. I need to hear some things before the meeting."

"I'm really worried if you're okay. In fact, it's more than one or two."

Now you're telling the truth. He's in big trouble, too.

I grinned.

"Don't you think I can come up with a solution by listening to the situation first?"

If I felt Cho Seung-woo's face brightened at that moment, would I be mistaken?

"…OK!"

I guess it wasn't an illusion. This time, we shouted with our back down.
