I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

95 – [2] I can’t tell you.

#095

The place in the forest was an unknown space.

And the word unknown also meant that something might be lurking.

Even on Earth where human power has reached every corner, the forest was a cruel and dangerous place.

Of course, the forest of Chareltea, which is as untouched by humans as Earth, was a more dangerous place than that.

I don’t know what it might be.

You don’t know what’s going to happen.

What might happen?

A place where even the mountain behind the town is not safe.

That was the forest of Chareltea.

Hunters had to come and go as if they were eating.

Even if they die, even if they know what the threat is, even if they know what the future will bring.

That’s why the Hunter Academy had to prepare for the forest somehow.

I had to show aspiring hunters what the forest was like.

It may be painful due to lack of experience.

Still, it was several times better to realize in advance than to die.

This is exactly the situation Kang Xian and his teammates are facing right now.

Kang Xian hurriedly grabbed a thousand hairs.

Kikkik! Thud!

“Whoa!”

As she stepped on a stone on the sidewalk, the ground in front of her came down.

Several sharp wooden sticks were stuck into the pit that suddenly appeared.

‘Trap?!’

It was a basic trap.

When the ground goes out, you fall under it and die.

Although it wouldn’t die if it fell because it had a protective shield, but if it didn’t have that, it could have been slightly painful.

The thousand horses, which could have fallen into a trap with just one step difference, cautiously backed away.

“Crazy bastards. Are you setting a trap for the students?”

The reaction of not knowing this would happen.

In fact, it was a trap that was not discovered even during the spying, so it was natural.

“There must be something there. Otherwise, there would be no way there would be so many traps.”

Kang Xian pointed between the trees.

It looks like an ordinary road, but in reality it is a little different.

Something faint.

As I looked at the floor, I saw a thin line lying there.

“Damn it… ….”

A trap that triggers something when stepped on or broken.

I didn’t know if the floor would go down again or if the arrow would come flying.

The only thing that was certain was that the trap existed.

Carefully avoiding the trap, spitting out curses at the obscene manner.

Of course, avoiding many pitfalls was not something that could be solved.

As she walked cautiously, Xian Kang felt something catch on her shoulder.

Phishun!

A faint sound rang out.

She immediately raised her senses and lowered her body.

Something hit the tree with a thump.

Turning her head, she saw an arrow lodged in a tree beside her.

When I turned to the other side of her, there was something pointed sticking out of something like a squirrel hole.

It was a crossbow for traps.

“The squirrel must have lost its home.”

I must have lost one of my many houses, to be exact, but what was lost was lost.

It was around the time I wondered where the squirrel, which had been evicted by humans, had gone.

“Um…… ?”

There wasn’t just a crossbow in the tree hole.

I went straight over and pulled out a piece of memo from inside.

The feeling that something is being written.

Slightly unfolded.

[Wow, I found this hahahaha I admit one observation hahahahaha]

[Hint: Go straight]

It was a truly rootless memo pad.

They were crushed and dumped back into the squirrel hole.

“Go as it is, what do you mean?”

“What is it? Just keep going down the road.”

It flew to the point where it was long.

I was convinced that this one was real.

The party continued to walk through the woods, carefully avoiding traps.

A few more minutes passed like that.

A space in the forest without trees.

I came to the same space as hair loss in the forest.

Of course, the brilliant sunlight flooded in.

The lights illuminated old structures instead of trees.

“…… It’s an observatory.”

Arecibo Observatory.

A place where I once saw the stars, but no longer.

The road cut off there.

In other words, this place was the destination.

“You don’t mean to find something all over this place, do you?”

“No way. Then, finishing it by the end of today will be a good goal.”

“But the road cuts off here, so you better find something.”

Nodded.

Xian Kang and the crew looked around the observatory.

Wandering through broken disks, looking through abandoned offices, and looking through warehouses.

And it wasn’t long before I was staring at a steel tower.

“That steel tower… ….”

“Unlike the astronomical observatory, it seems to have been built relatively recently, right?”

“Yes, I didn’t know it when I saw it from a distance. Looking back, it seems like that.”

A steel tower built around the observatory.

It was high, and there seemed to be no rusty corner.

I thought it was suspicious that it was shiny, so I headed straight to the steel tower.

The more I walked, the more I heard a conversation.

Confidence was established.

After that, I came face to face with an unusual sight.

“No, why can’t I go in and out!”

“It is impossible because you did not meet the conditions.”

“Ha, then what are the conditions?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“f*ck! I have to tell you the conditions so I can bring you what I need when I go in and out!”

“It is not possible according to the regulations.”

“Really, huh… ….”

Under a solid iron tower.

A group was haggling with the guards.

“If you continue to do this, we will disqualify you for violating the rules.”

“No! You…… Really… ….”

At the lack of reality, the people in the group spat out laments over and over again.

On the other hand, the guards confronting them were guarding the iron gate, and it seemed like they could climb the tower if they opened it.

It was strange that it was simply forbidden to enter except for those involved.

Looking at what I heard, it was a place where students could come in and out.

‘However, they ask for something necessary for admission… ….’

There was something.

There was something important, so they were blocking the entrance to the steel tower like that.

I just had to find out what it was.

Kang Xian approached them with confident steps.

“Hey, what are you doing here?”

The eyes of others were fixed on Xian Kang.

Especially, the eyes of the security guards were deeply felt.

I glanced at the door behind them.

It was assumed that he was asking for something.

“I cannot tell you.”

“What exactly do I have to do to climb that pylon?”

“I can’t tell you that either.”

“mmm. Will you let me know if the conditions are met?”

“Same thing.”

“So, would you like me to bring the key card?”

“It doesn’t matter then.”

A few seconds passed in silence.

The guards realized their mistake too late.

“You mean you need a key card.”

“… ….”

The door in the back was digital.

The door was not opened with a physical key, but had to be opened with a person’s fingerprint or key card.

Because it’s practically impossible to pick someone’s finger.

The only thing left was the key card.

So Kang Xian took out an object from his bosom.

“…… !”

“…… ?!”

They fluttered the cards they thought of.

Then the guards expressed their surprise inside.

“This, right?”

“…… That’s right.”

“Somehow, I just wanted to give this away.”

There are no meaningless objects.

Especially if it’s an important test.

‘I thought the card I received during the test was a key card.’

Next, the key card of the steel tower.

I held out the card I received as a reward.

One of the guards was about to receive it.

Suddenly, the leader of the other group, who was watching this from the side, approached.

The person stared at Jiang Xian’s face.

Seeing him staring at her so confidently, Xian Kang stopped handing her card.

“You, where did you get that?”

It was just one word, but a lot of twists poured out.

Xian Kang looked to the side of her, holding back the feeling of not being able to speak nicely.

The image of a tanning blonde caught my eye.

It was a face that would make even a person who denied the superstition of contemplation nod.

“Can you pass that card to me? I will pay for it and live.”

“Ah, yes… ….”

I didn’t mean to agree.

It’s just ‘I see. So what?&Quot she replied briefly.

Unfortunately, the blonde-tanned bully lacked the ability to understand condensed words.

She continued talking, as if Kang Xian had taken the rolling of her words as contemplation.

“Do you know the Cancon Guild? I’m the Gilma kid there, so if I hand this over, I’ll tell my parents—”

“Not for sale.”

Cut firmly.

Then he passed the card to the guard.

The guard swiped his card and opened the door.

Seeing that, the members of the other groups tried to head for the door, but were stopped.

“Only the group that acquired the entry card can enter.”

“What…… ?”

“You mean to go back the way you came here?”

“Ah, no, if that’s the case, you should have been honest with me a long time ago!”

At the belated truth, the members of the other groups jumped up and down.

But the guards didn’t budge.

Unsurprisingly, in this situation, the blonde tanning bully’s mind also became nervous.

The guy caught Kang Xian trying to enter the door.

“That card. Where did you get it from but can you tell me? I don’t need anything else, where did you get it, but let me know. I will definitely repay you. Huh?”

“… ….”

“A thousand dollars? Two thousand dollars? Three thousand dollars? You can be honest. I’ll beg my parents to pay them somehow.”

“… ….”

“An opportunity like this is rare for ordinary people like you. No, because I am giving you this opportunity. I will give you money unconditionally, just tell me the location.”

“… ….”

“Huh? Just want to know the location? Getting paid and telling It’s not that difficult, is it?”

“Ha… ….”

A sense of urgency was evident in his words and actions.

It’s a bit incomprehensible, but it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t say it.

He must be a troublesome guy anyway.

I even thought that it would be okay to say it in order to separate it, but I still didn’t like the way they talked.

To be honest, I didn’t like the strangely mocking expression.

It was just the feeling of meeting a real kid, a feeling of dislike.

It was the moment I was about to refuse in gradation anger.

Before he could speak, someone covered Xian Kang’s face.

“What a b*tch…… Uh?”

“Let’s stop, huh?”

A thousand horses came forward.

She looked very displeased at her blonde, tanned asshole.
