72 – At a crossroads

“Jisoo noona! You are safe.”

“You guys are really fortunate! I got into the portal, but I was surprised to see myself all of a sudden. Is Yuu okay?”

“….”

Unlike before, Han Yu-ra just stared at Ji-soo-noona without any reaction as to what she was dissatisfied with.

“Hey… Is it Yura?”

“Hey, Han Yu-ra! My older sister asked.”

In the end, I came forward and spoke to Han Yoo-ra as if arguing, only then did he react.

“No…. Nothing.”

“Nuna, don’t mind. Originally, Yura isn’t very cheap.”

“It’s amazing…. As I live, I also see Wonwoo saying that to Yura. She was the kind of girl who always tried to protect me somehow.”

“hahahaha….”

I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly at Jisu noona’s words.

I am one of the few people who knows that I dated Han Yu-ra, so I know my past.

She is the one who watched the best at how stupid she acted at the time.

“Has your older sister found her way here too?”

“Huh?”

“Aren’t you lost in a maze?”

“Ah. That is….”

“Huh? I got something on my sister’s clothes.”

Pointing to something reddish on her right shoulder, my sister glanced at me and said with a frown on her face.

“Ha…. It must have been buried then.”

“Yes?”

“I met a guy wearing a mask and attacking me a little while ago. I think he’s probably from the Assassination Guild. There must have been some blood while handling it then.”

“Ah, you also met my sister. We also met earlier.”

“Yeah, I know. If you come here, of course you have to have this, right?”

Jisoo noona took out her small key from the small bag she was wearing around her waist.

The key has the same shape as the key Han Yura showed you earlier.

Before getting into her portal, Ji-soo noona’s words and actions were strange, so she had a feeling of doubt, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

That can’t be the case, Jisoo noona.

“I was really surprised when he suddenly came out of the portal and attacked me while walking.”

“I almost got in trouble.”

“Ah, but I’m going to get an S rank sooner or later, so I’m not going to be beaten to this level.”

“What? You said that story a long time ago….”

Let’s play a prank on her apologetic heart for no reason.

“Ugh, Wonwoo. A naughty guy is hated by her girlfriend. Do you want to stick your fist in the pit of your stomach for the first time in a while?”

While I was restraining Jisoo noona by holding her hand, Yura Han spoke to me in a low voice.

“Wonwoo, my back is itchy. Scratch my back.”

“Huh?”

Han Yu-ra shows her body as if to be scratched, not hiding her own alluring erector spinae muscles.

She was arguing playfully, and then we both looked blankly at Han Yoo-ra’s outrageous words and actions.

“You…. Did you start again?”

“That can’t be. With that kid.”

Her sister-in-law actively denied her cautious question.

”Then why is Yura talking like that… ? Surely the body and mind are separate, isn’t it?”

Jisoo noona looks at me with a disillusioned face.

He waved his hands and complained of injustice.

“Absolutely not! I’m not that trashy, noona!”

“That’s right…. Rather, I am the one who suffers, but I am not the kind of person who would do such a thing.”

I feel like I’ve been treated like an idiot, but since you believe in my innocence, that’s okay.

Rather than that, it’s first to argue with Han Yu-ra, who suddenly said nonsense.

“Hey. I have something to make from human garbage! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Then, as I approach Han Yu-ra, she suddenly pulls me tight and whispers in her ear.

“… It tickles me, Wonwoo. Have you already forgotten?”

“Ah, why, really! Then scratch it!”

“….”

In the end, Han Yu-ra can’t answer her shouts.

I doubt she has really gone mad.

She’s suddenly quiet. She’s always shy about Ji-soo-noona, so even so, she’s not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

“Wonwoo, calm down. I guess it tickled me a lot. There’s nothing good about being angry with each other.”

The thought that she lost her composure at her sister’s words calmed her down.

Anyway, you’ve fallen into the enemy’s trap, and there’s nothing good about being emotional.

She used to, when she had just become a Hunter, and when she and Han Yoo-ra organized a party with strangers for the first time, something like this happened….

“Uh… ?”

“Why is that, Wonwoo?”

Jisoo noona asks what’s going on, tilting her head.

“Nothing. I suddenly remembered something.”

“Huh? What came to your mind?”

“I remembered something that happened a long time ago, before I even met my sister.”

“Really? It reminds me of Wonwoo and Yura who were green. It’s really very old. To think that kids who used to fight only with blood are doing so well now.”

“Yes, hahahaha….”

She answered that and glanced at Han Yu-ra, and she kept staring at me.

If Han Yu-ra wasn’t in a bad condition, but it meant what I remember… ?

It was a long time ago, so I’m not sure.

Besides, unlike back then, the two of us now are worse than friends.

While thinking about that, Jisoo noona pointed to her crossroads and said.

“But it’s a big deal. It’s a crossroads….”

“How do I do it? How was your sister’s way?”

“Unlike a maze, there are no traps, just a straight path. What about you?”

“Me too. In the end, it means that you have to go to one of the two remaining roads….”

For the sake of safety, it is the standard to go together.

Even to prepare for the opponent’s surprise attack or trap.

But I can’t waste too much time because I don’t know how things are going.

“I’ll go alone, so the two of us go the other way.”

As I was thinking about it, Han Yu-ra looked at us and said.

“Huh? Yura, wouldn’t it be dangerous to go alone?”

“It’s okay, unlike the two of you, I’m in S rank.”

“Ah… It is. Who cares about whom.”

Jisoo noona readily agrees with Han Yu-ra’s words.

But from my point of view, it is very strange.

It’s not an ax soldier, judging by Han Yu-ra’s attitude so far, she didn’t want to separate from me.

But she says that she will easily find another way by herself.

She can’t help but think it’s strange.

“Then let’s go here and Yura go to the other side. Regardless of finding something, let’s gather here again in three hours.”

Jisoo noona pointing to the left road and talking.

Han Yu-ra nods her head and first takes the road to her right.

“Let’s go too, Wonwoo.”

“Yes.”

Jisoo noona walked in front of her and followed behind.

“Here too long. Could this road be a labyrinth too?”

“I will…. Annoying Siri.”

Looking at the watch on her wrist, she walked for about 30 minutes.

She said this time she is walking on a straight road without any traps.

Judging from the fact that they were carrying a key earlier, I think there might be a route that only they can go quickly.

“Oh, really. I’d rather come out with something!”

Jisoo noona speaks as if she is frustrated.

“Nuna, don’t say things like that carelessly….”

I felt like something would happen if I said something like that, so I tried to restrain myself, but as expected, daggers suddenly rained down from the sky enveloping us.

The same trap as where Kang Chul-min died earlier.

‘This is it again. I don’t know where the alternative trigger is.’

I don’t feel any magic power at all.

But looking at the structure, I can’t see any such device.

I quickly raised my hand and tried to block her with [Psychokinesis], But it was impossible to block her with more numbers than before.

“Ugh.”

Ji-soo noona, who was hitting the falling dagger with her sword, spat out a voice in pain as the dagger she hadn’t seen before got stuck in her left arm.

“Sister!”

I tried to save my mana just in case, but it looks like it will lead to more serious injuries if I keep going like this.

I decided to do everything in my power because I was trying to save my energy and it could lead to a situation where it would be a loss.

I activated [Psychokinesis] Thicker and wider than before to keep hitting the approaching daggers.

The shower of daggers ended after about a minute or so.

I asked Ji-soo-noona, feeling the sense of collapse caused by the large emptiness of magical power.

“Sister, are you okay?”

“hahahaha…. Yes I’m fine. Ah, I made fun of my mouth and got scolded properly.”

She smiled wearily, pulled out the dagger from her arm, and sat down.

Then, after rummaging through the bag that was slung around her side, he took out her bandages and medicine for wounds.

“Shall I do it for you?”

“No, I will do it alone. You don’t know what else will happen, so stay vigilant.”

“Okay.”

It’s amazing to see that he makes a cold judgment regardless of how painful it must be because he worked as a hunter for such a long time.

“Eh. No matter how many times it happens, I can’t get used to it. Bitter.”

After opening the lid of the bottle containing the liquid and pouring it on his own wound, the deeply engraved scar gradually gets smaller and recovers.

However, it did not completely disappear, and the blood still leaked out, albeit minutely.

”This new product came out and I wrote that it was good, but perfect treatment is still difficult. The price is just too damn expensive. If there was an ice princess, they would have just treated this kind of thing, right?”

“Of course, Sujeong fixes it right away.”

“Oh, look at this? Even if the person next to you changes, the voice you say remains the same.”

“Ah…. Stop talking about that. You know each other now!”

From noble mtl dot com

When I shouted out of embarrassment, Ji-soo noona laughed and said after cutting off the bandage with her mouth and wrapping it around.

“What do you think? By my standards, they are both younger siblings that I cherish. You can break up while dating, that’s right.”

“… That’s because it happened in the worst possible way.”

“I will. If I were like you, I might have broken your neck even if I died.”

Seeing Jisoo-noona readily admitting to her, she was dumbfounded and laughed.

I wonder if it would have been like this if I had an older sister.

A really strange person.

“After, done. Judging from the situation, Wonwoo should lead the way. As you know, they don’t treat the pain….”

Jisoo noona speaks while holding out her slightly trembling arm with her bandages wrapped around her.

She definitely seems overworked for the role she has to stop when the enemy appears in front.

“I should have taken the lead from the start.”

“Ah, that can’t be. Wonwoo If I’m with you or Yura, I should always go first. Even if you guys become stronger than me, that’s unconditional. My sister’s pride.”

Seeing her talking with a bashful smile makes her heart tingle for nothing.

She is a person who did not abandon me even when I fell to the bottom. He was a person who helped me a lot in difficult moments.

I am so grateful to have such a person by my side when I am having a hard time.

“Anyway, just trust me and stay behind, sister.”

As she said that, she reached out her hand to help her sister-in-law stand up.

“Come on, brother, let’s get on the bus now.”

Jisoo noona holding my hand while smiling.

I held her hand with strength without any doubt.

“But I don’t think I’ll be able to get on that bus….”

“Yes?”

The moment you want to ask what you mean.

Ji-soo noona raised herself up with the recoil using the force of my pulling, and she bent my arm as she did and went behind her in an instant.

Then, holding the dagger in her not yet fully healed arm, she aimed at the scruff of my neck.

“I have to die here, Wonwoo.”

I couldn’t believe that she was Jisoo noona. Her cold voice rang in my ears.
