82 – All-Out War Is Coming

“I want you to trust me while you keep hiding like that… ? If you keep it a secret even at this moment, when the hell will you find out!”

Sujeongi’s expression darkened as she shouted loudly.

However, he can’t speak anymore, perhaps because he knows that he’s not very persuasive in this situation.

However, he held my hand as if he had made up his mind.

“Please…. Can you trust me just one more time? I think there will be an opportunity to tell you in a not too long time….”

Sujeongi earnestly appeals to me with red eyes wet with tears.

Seeing that figure again, my heart is lost.

Honestly, I want to believe.

No, even if I am deceived, I want to hug and comfort Sujeongi who speaks so pathetically and tremblingly.

A state in which this kind of idiot-like mind keeps running around in my head.

I don’t know if the ability called [Enchantment] Exists or not, but for whatever reason, I want to make sure that this woman in front of me doesn’t cry.

I don’t want to hurt you anymore.

So I want to hold hands and apologize.

Sorry for hurting you.

The moment you reach out your hand as your feelings continue to grow.

[Do you enjoy getting hurt, you idiot?]

As if trying to stop it, a mocking voice came from a corner of my heart again.

The voices of Han Yu-ra and Kim Ji-soo are strangely mixed and resonant.

Those voices mess with your head once again, and the bitter feelings of being betrayed well up in your heart.

“Haa….”

“Wonwoo!”

As she sits down in pain as if her heart is about to burst, Soo-jeong approaches me with a startled face.

Even seeing Sujeong’s face hurts now, so she shakes off her hand from holding her arm and walks away.

Sujeong looks at me with her frightened face, as if she was surprised by this rough action once again.

She was stunned and surprised by the sight, but she immediately took her heart and said,

“I’m sorry, but I’m so confused, could you please leave me alone for a while?”

“Wonwoo….”

Sujeong is staring at me with sad eyes.

Due to her wounds, a pain different from her painful feelings forms in her heart once again.

But she doesn’t have the courage to stretch out her hand here to understand and accept, nor the courage to cut it off yet.

All I need right now is time to organize my thoughts and accept the situation.

“… Sorry.”

After saying that, I passed Sujeongi and moved towards her door.

I can feel Sujeongi’s gaze on her back as she walks to the door.

But I can’t look back yet.

“Wonwoo!”

At that time, Sujeongi’s voice made me stop without realizing it.

Then she screamed at me in a whimpering voice, as if she was crying.

“… I can wait anytime! Originally, if I wanted something, I would do my best to get it somehow, but I don’t want to force myself to get my love for Wonwoo! I’ll wait!”

Because I know Sujeongi’s personality so well, that statement makes my heart choke.

What is Sujeong thinking and thinking while saying that she will just wait?

But it has already been decided.

Leaving Sujeongi behind, I went out the door biting my lips.

*

After that day, I stayed at home and did nothing.

After being abandoned by Han Yu-ra, the first break except for a short week before asking Kim Ji-soo for a small job.

Then and now, I use the name of rest, but mentally, I think it would be more accurate to say that constant pain is a cycle rather than rest.

In fact, my mind has been sorted out to some extent.

In the first place, it makes no sense to believe in the malicious intentions of Choi Woo-seok or Han Yoo-ra.

I think there must be circumstances that Sujeongi can’t avoid.

And I had another purpose and I found out the truth, but there is no reason to leave me alone like this.

However, the fragments of doubt planted by Han Yu-ra and Kim Ji-soo continue to haunt me.

I wonder if there’s something else I don’t know or miss.

Unlike before, the body shrinks from the pain of being betrayed again.

In the eyes of others, you may say that it is frustrating to ask why you are like that, but those who have not experienced this feeling will never know.

As soon as the lover she had grown up with since childhood and walked the hard road with became her S-class, she said to break up.

As she started working as a hunter, it wouldn’t be strange to think of her as an older sister whom she had known for a long time, and suddenly pointed a dagger at my neck.

And her girlfriend, whom she managed to open up to and get to know with all her heart, is half human, half nine-tailed fox, and she keeps plotting something, and she still hides her secret from me without telling her. There is.

Just accept this?

No matter how mentally good you are, just accepting this should be seen as indifferent beyond being calm.

At the same time, it’s really strange for me to think about whether or not I should contact Sujeong.

– Took.

And in the end, I couldn’t press the call button and put my phone down.

Then he grabbed my hair and scratched me, expressing a mixture of anger and irritation.

“Haa….”

I let out a deep sigh and picked up the remote control next to me and turned on the TV.

In order to focus on something else and forget about my head, which seemed to explode at any moment.

However, the moment I look at the screen, those thoughts lightly disappear.

“Why is that bastard… ?”

As soon as I turned on the TV, what caught my eye was Choi Woo-seok and Han Yu-ra standing behind them.

And at the top of the screen, the captions written in large letters caught my eye.

‘Sunglight Guild Emergency Declaration Announcement.’

I felt that there was something just by looking at it, and I focused on the screen.

[Nice to meet you, I am Choi Woo-seok, the second guild leader of the Seonggwang Guild. The reason why I prepared this place in a hurry is that I had something to tell you very urgently, so I made this place.]

While doing so, Choi Woo-seok took out a piece of paper from his inside pocket.

[Please understand that I am reading the script prepared in advance, thinking that what I want to say should not be misrepresented.]

With that said, he opened the paper and started talking.

[First of all, our Seong-Kwang Guild has grown into a guild that is recognized not only in Korea but also in the world, and has always strived for the peace of mankind with a sense of justice.]

“Ha!”

A guy who tried to kill his half-brother by opening the gate makes me laugh when he says such a thing.

But only a few people know the truth.

It’s a shame that I can’t tell everyone about this.

[But while I was contributing to peace while touring overseas with our main S-class hunters for a while, I discovered groups plotting a huge conspiracy.]

Then, the directly invited reporters began to hum and make noise.

If the Starlight Guild is making such a large and urgent announcement, you can guess that it will not be a small level at all.

[I discovered that Hunter Association head Ma Dong-sik and Crystal guild leader Choi Su-jeong signed a contract to bring down our Seong-gwang guild.]

As soon as he said that, a picture of Ma Dong-shik and Soo-jeong came in behind Choi Woo-seok.

And he held out the USB in front of people and said.

[After this announcement, the materials contained here will be distributed to reporters and will also be uploaded to our official YouTube.]

From my point of view, Wooseok Choi’s announcement is not that surprising.

It’s understandable when you see Sujeongi constantly talking with the nerd-like Ma Dongshik.

Besides, it’s even more so now that I know about his relationship with Choi Woo-seok.

However, I don’t understand Choi Woo-suk’s intention in making the announcement.

If the announcement ends like this, it would be difficult to elicit good public opinion as it would just end up as a conflict between the two groups, the Starlight Guild and the Hunter Association.

As strong as the Seonggwang Guild is, there are many interests that it monopolizes, and rather there are many people who are dissatisfied, so it is ambiguous to say that this announcement is encouraging.

At that time, Wooseok Choi continued his speech as if he had read my thoughts.

[If you say it’s an urgent announcement because of this, you’d probably think that it’s a power struggle, but it’s exaggerated, and I threw an irrational number. But if you see this, you’ll probably change your mind.]

After saying that, Choi Woo-seok flicked his fingers.

Then the back screen changes again and a dark place is drawn.

From noble mtl dot com

And on the floor, you can see some unknown huge patterns engraved.

And inside the pattern, Sujeongi, who looks more youthful than now, catches the eye.

After a while she looks around her and puts her hand on her floor to channel her mana.

Then, her magical energy began to radiate light and move along the shape of the pattern.

After that, as all the patterns were clearly drawn and emitted light, a red gate gradually formed behind the back and revealed its appearance.

“Crazy….”

In the video, I unknowingly spat out curse words.

And I realized at once what Choi Woo-suk’s purpose was.

Through this announcement, it is the intention to strongly press Choi Soo-jung socially.

Regardless of the truth of that video, information was revealed that humans could open the gate, and the person who opened it first became Sujeongi.

Then all eyes and attention will be focused on Sujeong.

National organizations and the media will pay attention to Sujeong and continue to harass her.

And after that, if a gate occurs, Sujeong will be suspicious unconditionally.

You may also ask for a solution.

Besides, the civilians who escaped through the gate certainly wouldn’t show good feelings for Sujeong.

At the same time, you can use the method of biting and biting while driving all the culprits of the gate to Sujeongi as a cover-up.

“It’s a big deal….”

After watching this announcement, I’m worried about how Sujeongie will feel.

He was a person who almost died because of the gate, but he ended up in an unfair position as if he caused damage through the gate.

But I’m still afraid to press the call button on the phone I picked up.

-Ugh.

While he was thinking about what to do, the cell phone he was holding in his hand suddenly vibrated.
