M E M O R I Z E

After a short goodbye with my brother, I went straight to the Warp Gate with the clan members.

And finally, I was able to travel to the southern city of Monica.

In fact, it's been a while since I've seen Monica, but nothing's changed. However, the clan members had an awkward outlook. In a long time, everyone would have felt familiar and unfamiliar with the view of the city.

Soon, I took a quick look around and went straight to the Mercenary House.

The clans have not said a word the entire way back. In that uncomfortable silence, you didn't even notice me for some reason.

I held my gaze on my back occasionally, and I sighed.

'Maybe if Shin Yong had come back alive together....'

What was it like? But after the war, “Haha.” I “hoho.” Maybe not until now, but at least I felt better than I do now.

It was a time when such uncomfortable silences were hidden. At that moment, I felt a sneak up next to me.

As I slowly turned my head to check, I could see Jeongyeon stretching out her arm by half. She pauses as soon as she sees me, then lowers her hand and opens her mouth.

“Soo-hyun, I contacted the mercenary house in advance. ”

“I see.”

“… Yes. By now, they'll all be out there waiting. And…"

“? ”

Jung Yeon's voice was still clear, but it was completely silent. I felt a little awkward, but I waited for her to say something.

“I've briefed you on the story. ”

A story.

Though Jung Yeon was surprised to pay attention to the details, I nodded my head. She lowers her head, and soon takes a step back. It's hard to say it's a big deal, but I was worried about one thing.

Suddenly, I thought about the beginning of the year I'd forgotten, and I was busy making fun of myself.

It didn't take me long to get to the luxury house because I was only focused on walking. Soon, when I was close enough to be caught in the naked eye, I could see that the gate was wide open, as Jeongyeon had said. Inside, familiar users came across us.

Employees standing in a row, left and right at the front door. And with the inspiration out of the way. Of course, there was a baby unicorn.

“Tsk!”

As soon as the baby unicorn saw me, it started running like a charm. And then he can't stop wagging his tail. He seems to be getting excited. As soon as I reached out my hand without thinking about it, I stopped for a moment.

The hand that looked down was still bloody. It's not nearly as dry as Barbara's, but it's mostly dry and stiff.

I thought about it for a moment, and finally I took back my outstretched hand. At the same time, I snapped my legs open.

“No. ”

“Tsk, tsk?! ”

The baby unicorn, blood or no blood, suddenly stopped running into my paper. Soon he looked up at me in a hurry and quickly blinked. I was a nazi who asked for an explanation.

“Don't come. You're bleeding... ”

“Phew...? ”

A moment of silence passed.

It was then.

“Phew…. ”

The gaze that I was staring at began to sag. At the same time, I watched my tail sag, and I exhaled briefly.

And just like that, I passed the baby unicorn. It's not that you don't know the heart, but you don't have to bury the blood for nothing.

That way, I was finally able to enter the mercenary house.

“You've been back.”

“Well, welcome. ”

“Hee hee hee! ”

“Joe, be quiet! ”

Soon after that, the workers leaned down and greeted each other as if they were waiting. However, some people screamed weakly when they saw me because I was a natural non-combat user.

But I didn't care. I just nodded my head slightly and looked at the two who were coming towards me.

“Tongue, brother. Ah... Khh, Clan Lord. Come... come. ”

“Happy Birthday. Clan Road.”

His reaction was no different from that of his employees. It seems that I feel quite strange to look at myself as I speak.

On the contrary, the inspiration greeted me with a relatively calm attitude.

“Haha. It's been a long time, really. ”

“Highlighted.”

“Right. Um... The story was told roughly by Jeongyeon. User demography…. ”

“… Yes. And unfortunately, that happened. ”

“Clan Load…. Well done.And I'm sorry this old man didn't help. ”

Looking at the old man who was dragging his tongue, I nodded once or twice and immediately waved to the left and to the right.

“No, you don't have to apologize. I got my revenge.”

“Tsk. I haven't had a day here to feel at ease. Ah. I heard little news... Is the war over now? ”

“Yes, the Western Continent and the Vagabond Alliance were defeated in the East. Though some have escaped with their lives, soon there will be a siege. It's a victory for the North, after all. ”

“Haha. But the result is good news. Thank goodness."

When you say “Victory,” the faces of those around you brighten. When I see it, I feel sad inside. I had no choice. Users who have not experienced war will not know what process they have been in to win.

Then one thought came to mind, I looked back at Sulfiti. I can still see one clan member coming in with a dark face.

At that moment, the words you put in front of the clans, right here, before you left, grazed your head.

'No one knows how long the war will last. It may be very brief, but it may take a long time to think outside the box.'

'But no matter how many months it takes, there's only one thing I want right now. When the war is over and we're back together again, I want every one of you to look healthy.'

I turned my back and drooled softly.

“… ha. ”

Despite the obvious faint sound, the clan members raise their heads for a moment.

And I opened my mouth without knowing the look that was pouring out of my eyes.

“The war is over. ”

“ ……. ”

What a reflective remark.

“And we…. He made it back to Clan House in one piece. ”

“ ……. ”

The clan members answer silently.

I was also reflexive, so I couldn't find anything to say.

I thought about it for a moment, but now that I've brought it out, I think I'd better finish up somehow.

“And…. Even though one didn't come back.... ”

“Ugh...! ”

It was then.

Suddenly, I hear someone crying.

At that moment, I paused, and then I was a nazi.

“Those who have returned safely. Well done, everyone."

“Grrrgh!"

“Phew…. ”

“Oh my…. ”

At the same time, I could see An-hyun, Yi Jung, and An-sol bursting into tears at the same time.

Soon, I stared at them.

I was a little embarrassed, but it made sense to me.

The children were still in their tenth year. Despite everything that's happened in the past, in the world of Hall Plain, it's still white and white.

Such children, who have been involved in this war so much at once.

It's the first war I've ever seen in my life.

The pain of having to open my eyes and lose my acquaintance in the same place.

The last time I heard the war was finally over, I was relieved of tension.

Everything will be mixed together, filling the inside of the children.

“Ah, Ahn Hyun-gun. Clan Lord speaking. Get up."

“Well, get up. Do you want to keep doing this? ”

“Brush. Get up. This upsets Clan Lord as well. ”

Soon after, I looked at the clans who cautiously soothed the children, and suddenly I looked at them. Come to think of it, she's been carrying a new corpse.

“User melody. ”

“Got it.”

And as soon as I called, Ko Yong immediately replied. Did he predict that when he ordered us to recover the corpse? I felt like I was going to, and I looked at her with apology.

“Then…. I'll be back. I won't be late. ”

“Please.”

Ko Yeon-ju smiled slightly, and carefully lowered her new clothes. Then he immediately turned around and started running out the front door. The direction she was running was precisely towards the store.

“Tongue, brother. Oh, no. Clan Lord.”

At that moment, I looked back at the sound of a sudden voice. Then, I could see the freshness in my eyes with a dull face.

“Oh, you've been through a lot, haven't you? I prepared a meal... Oh, no. First of all, wash... ”

“Dinner…. I'm fine.”

“... but... ”

“They must all be mentally ill. I don't think you should be too pushy today. So it's better to only eat for the clans you want, and then just go to the bathroom or the rest of the house. ”

I understood what he was saying, and I felt sorry for him.

Soon, I raised my voice to tie up unfinished words.

“I don't have to say it for long. That's it. I'm going to end this here. And today... We recommend resting well. Dismissed, then.”

It wasn't until I officially gave the dismissal order that I could barely breathe.

However, it was rare for the clans to leave. Some stood up and looked up at the sky, some were still looking at me, and some did not show any tears around the corpse of the new dragon.

In such a situation, I turned to myself. And as you walk, the sounds that flow into your ears begin to drift further and further away.

After taking a step back to the main hall, I started climbing the stairs. When I reached the fourth floor, I pushed my visit to the house, and I threw myself into the visible white bed.

*

“Damn it.”

When I opened my eyes with my profanity, a dark earthly spider was filling the room. I look around like a habit and sigh a little.

I returned to Clan House late in the afternoon, but it looks like dawn is coming.

'You must sleep.'

Once I had to sleep, I closed my eyes in the darkness. He was barely able to find his horse.

Mild dizziness echoes my head again. I felt used to it now.

“… damn it. ”

I finally opened my eyes again.

In fact, I've been repeating the same process ever since I came into the room and lay down. When I tried to go to sleep deeply, I felt weak dizziness. He wakes up, tries to fall asleep, and then breaks it again.

I felt so dirty. My body is asking me to sleep, and I just can't sleep.

'Maybe we'll go back to the old days...' '

I spilled a bitter smile.

My body was not my body at the moment. It wasn't just the fatigue. My mind was complicated because of my own thoughts, but compared to that, my mind was emptying my heart.

In such contradictory emotions, he was wandering around like a lost lamb.

It was that moment.

Suddenly, Shin Yong suddenly appeared in the air before his eyes, and soon it faded away.

'…….'

Eventually, I tried to answer myself.

Am I trembling because of Shin Yong's death?

"No."

Obviously, Shin Yong's death is unfortunate. However, I have suffered enough about the death of someone I know in the first place. The word "death" was so familiar to me.

And the guilt of making the wrong decision as a clan lord?

"No."

After all, I saved the clan members, achieved my goal, and secured the benefits.

Or what?

'…….'

I asked myself, but I couldn't answer.

Only the adviser echoed on the inside, not the other way around.

I cut it off pretty vaguely, but I think I need to get ready to leave now. It's 9: 00 today...

PS. You've all done a great job.:)
