King of Shadows

"It's all about assumptions. And they don't know anything about us, do they? If I'm right, there's a good chance the search party will get in before we leave. And we'll get to the bottom of it."

"I might run into them. He's the biggest guild executive around here... But that's all there is to it, isn't it?"

"If there's no other reason, I'm sure the car will come through. Even if you could see the situation from an artificial satellite, there would be a big difference between seeing it in person and seeing it in a photograph."

"Well, we've been living in the lawless zone for five years, so we want to reduce the variables."

"Exactly."

After finishing the conversation, Shi Hyun carefully examined the surface of Plomeoia. Through a fluoroscope, he realized what was inside Flomoia, and he bluffed Flomoia's sheath with his right hand, wrapped in a bandage. With a metal plate in his hand that crumbles like a piece of paper, he uncovered one of Flomoia's sheaths.

At the same time, vital supplies and food spilled out. Pleuroia, the size of a second-story building, was packed with supplies for survivors, other than mechanical devices.

Kyungmin smiled brightly like a child who received a gift at Christmas and opened her mouth.

"It's going to be a party."

Sihyun stepped inside the National Institute site to a small cabin near a secret base. Built under Lynn's wishes of wanting to feel natural, the second residence used to occasionally be used as a vacation home on sunny days.

"Welcome, Si-hyun. I was so lonely today."

"It's been less than three hours since we broke up."

After reviving Lin's clumsy attachment, she sat on the couch and quietly approached the swimming pool reading the book. Only then did I realize that Xi Hyun had entered the house and rushed to close the book.

"Here he is, sir."

"Yes, swimmer."

Sihyun's eyes met the swim and smiled without concealing his gratitude. An 18-year-old swimmer became a virgin. Black hair to the buttocks was picked up like silk, and fresh eyes and pink lips amazed me just by looking at them. There was no need to say what was inherently inviting and pure.

I could no longer find my childhood appearance in the swimming pool. Flowers were shy, so I bowed my head. The fool was no longer there. There was only a girl.

Sihyun, who held hands of a thin white swim, summoned Lynn.

"Lynn's here because I need to talk to you."

Lin, seated next to the swimming seat, flashes both eyes. It was because I instinctively realized that there was something strange to tell Sihyun.

"What do you want to say?"

"The boundary - Grandeliols - was breached today. Everyone in Seoul will be rescued soon. We just need to hold on a little longer."

"Really?! Can we finally get out of here?"

Lin is happy to give you some news with a spin around her tail. Less entertaining for her, Seoul lacked 2%.

After Rondale's death, the goal of life changed to living beautifully with him. Even though they wanted to do something, they didn't have enough 'places' and 'goods', so they ended up accidentally.

"Yes…?"

Contrary to my favorite Rin, I denied her words with an unbelievable look and voice. No, I turned away. When she heard the unexpected, she looked at him with a face that would burst into tears. When she saw the face of the rapidly changing swimmer, she was agitated and wiped away the tears that flowed over her cheeks.

"Come on, swim. You can see your family now. You don't have to grow a garden because you don't have enough food, you don't have to dress because you don't have enough clothes. Besides, you're not surprised by the occasional heteros, are you?"

"Aren't you sad?"

"... me?"

When I asked him a sudden question, he shut up. It was because I had no idea what the swimming was going to say.

"You're breaking up with me. But you're not sad?"

With an honest expression of swimming, Shi Hyun looks forward to raising a child like his own for five years. I was there when I was sick, when I was happy, when I was sad. He also served as an overwhelming advisor to help her grow up correctly. There was no way I wouldn't be sad. But I knew I had to let him go. I wasn't even young enough to insist that it didn't work.

"Sad. But I can't help it. Swimming, your place is not here, but in the arms of your parents. We live in this way because of unusual circumstances."

"I don't know. I don't want to break up with you..."

When the future that I had turned away came, the swimming seemed to fall into a cliff of cloth. I had never imagined the scene of separation from him. She received both love and attention from her parents.

Sihyun didn't even think of her as a burden. I didn't go far with excuses. I just took care of her with all my strength. Although his actions were immature, the swimming could trust him because he saw such sincerity.

"Swimming, I know it's hard to accept right now, but you have to get used to it."

Sihyun strongly persuaded her. I had to. In the outside world, Ji Ho-cheol and Park were waiting for her. It wasn't even a day or a week. I was waiting for the rebirth of my daughter who had been separated for five years.

Sihyun guessed what their hearts were like. I had never been a parent, but I could understand how I felt. Now is the time. It's time to hand over this well-bred swim to her parents.

"... what if we don't meet?"

Swimming head down, he doesn't lift his head. He faced her on his knees. Her lip-breaking face was filled with discontent. Sihyun gently stroked the back of the swimming. I carefully touched her with the wind that I didn't want her to cry like when I first met her.

"Don't worry. No matter what anyone says, you're my brother." So even out there, our relationship doesn't break. "

"I'm worried about you pretending not to know."

"Rather, I'm worried about you."

The outside world was not a lawless place where power dictates everything. To be precise, it was a world where the laws and rules of the past were bound together.

Swimming there was an upper-class discipline. It was also a real girl born and raised in the top 1% of families. On the contrary, Xi Hyun was a hemophiliac. All I had was my strength. Even that might have to be hidden depending on the circumstances and circumstances.

Perfect zero, determined to have no idea, reappears after five years? It was about focusing on the world.

It was like yelling at the world to find out his secret. The secret of Sihyun was not to be revealed to anyone. Being a Gugosani pioneer, it was meaningless to make a distinction. For the humans, they were both monsters.

Sihyun's birth was unknown and a myth. It was because there was no reason for man to be like this, and there was no reason for him to die and live. If they knew the nature of Sihyun, the world would want to know. I'd be on guard, and I'd want to have it.

Whether he knew what he was thinking, the swimmer firmly decided to put his pinkie finger on his pinky.

"I won't forget. So don't forget."

"Yeah, I won't forget."

He smiled unwittingly because of his naive commitment to swimming. Rin grunts coldly as she watches the two promises.

"Why are you saying that like you're going away for the rest of your life? If you want to meet him, meet him. We've been getting a lot of communication lately, and we're shooting a new wave with it. If you just exchange numbers, that's it."

For five years, Shi Hyun smiled at Lynn as well as swimming, because she had the audacity not to think it was the words of a living person who had been separated from her civilization.

Not far from Grandeliol, there are many tents lined up. It has securely occupied a large area of the village, which has been used as a "temporary base of operations" to destroy the Grandeliols and rescue the people within.

Upon a 10-meter watchtower, the telescope was a two-eyed view of Flomoia's performance. The result was a great success. The goal of reaching the end of 27 failures was truly beautiful.

Flomoia tears her eyes to tears from the scene where she broke the Grandeliol. Her research proved fruitful for five years. The vote of confirming that his theories fit perfectly was overwhelming.

"Se-hyun... I kept my promise to you. I've finally succeeded. It's late, but forgive me."

After five years of struggle, his face was wrinkled. Her hair turned faint and her body was even smaller. But I still had two eyes. He was full of curiosity and enthusiasm and also full of will.

Thinking about the 'that day' that I experienced five years ago, I couldn't help but smile. The study was a complete situation. I was sure I would meet my longing.

How has it changed? How far has he come with the ability to be a winner? Curiosity and interest and longing and delight. As many emotions swirled in my mind, I couldn't hide my exhilarating sigh.

"Is that so good? You accidentally succeeded with an immature head?"

I couldn't agree more. It was because another creature came up on the watchtower. He bowed his head as soon as he saw its presence.

"I'm sorry. I don't know. Stop."

It was the Caridome that was playing a pivotal role in the temporary base of operations. He was the only pioneer who appeared in Korea to burn the child because there was no pioneer.

One of the pioneers from that continent, the Caridome, had the appearance of a mixture of fish and humans.

Instead of his hair, there was a gill and fin, and a stink that resembled the smell of the sea flowed out of his head. The skin that was so transparent that it appeared even to the blood, tendons and muscles was invisible to humans.

He was the one who engraved "Soul Save" on the skies of Grandeliol two years ago. I also did not stand idly by to know such accomplishments. The Caridome was superior to both the rank and the importance.

"I guess you know. After spending so much money, you've finally succeeded. How many people do you think you can train with that money?"

"I'm sorry to hear that. But in the long run, I think that's right for the country and for humanity."

"Where are you going with this?"

Karidom hated it from the first time he saw it. His enthusiasm for freeing the boundaries of numerous sacrificial lambs on the other continent was unfavorable. That's why he didn't acknowledge his accomplishments on purpose. Rather, I stepped on it.

The feeling of inferiority and the awareness of damage from the fact that humans did things that even pioneers themselves could not do was eating away at the entire body of the Caridome. The Caridome was also aware. But he didn't want to stop.
