00393 Epilogue 4/4: “All together. ”
* Be sure to read today's review.
“This concludes the first meeting. Thank you all.”
The fifth day after the war.
Barbara's meeting, which began this morning, declared a dig in two hours.
Two hours is not the only time that can be seen as short. However, given that the users who attended the meeting were members of a clan, it is not to be said that it was such a generous meeting.
Like I said at the famous banquet, it was a completely incomplete meeting for me.
However, objectively, the outcome of the meeting was reasonable. It is because we cannot see that the direction of resolving one thing from the most urgent day is very bad.
The war is over, but there are still survivors of the Allied forces on the run, and five cities were devastated by the invasion. Accordingly, the East, South and North made it a priority to recover damage from residual traces and invasions.
In addition, other pre- and post-treatment activities such as relief activities and prisoner management of other users were collected to be resolved in subsequent second and third meetings.
Role allocation was also reasonable.
For example, the Hamill Clan, which has remained intact in this battle, participates in the tracking of the remains. Perhaps you should enter the organization as soon as the meeting is over.
By comparison, a clan with considerable damage has been determined to remain in the city and assist with relief efforts.
Either way.
The Mercenary Clan is a free mercenary clan. The mercenary's mission is over, starting with the end of the war. Deciding the march of the Mercenary Clan is my sole authority, and I cannot be anyone else.
I thought about it, but I quickly woke up after checking the number of meeting rooms that are less than half of them. There was no more reason to stay after the meeting.
Outside the conference room, the entrance to the Golden Lion Clan House was filled with people who had just left the meeting. Some were making a rush to get back to the city, and some were gathering with others to talk with serious faces.
Speechless. Speechless.
As I was walking across the crowd, I suddenly felt strange. Everywhere I went, people were staring at me. Some people looked at it openly, so their heads were tilted.
Anyway, it was time to speed things up once I decided to go out.
“Mercenary Road. ”
“W-w... ”
A tap on the shoulder and a familiar voice grabbed me.
With a clear glance, I blinked once or twice.
Two women came up beside me, staring at me.
One is Han So-young, Queen of the Iron.
The other is after the sword, the queen of swords.
The two queens were together, creating a beautiful, unfamiliar atmosphere.
“It's been a long time. How are you? ”
“Oh, Mercenary Road…. ”
I slowly turned to Han So-young's greeting. I was curious as to why the two of you were together, but it was an excuse to be dazed because I was greeted.
“It's been a long time. Istantel Low Road. After the sword.”
Han So-young nodded once or twice and put it in front of me. A subtle aroma pierces your nose.
Soon, Han So-young whispered in a quiet voice.
“I've heard a lot about Mercenary Road today. Well done."
“What do you mean? ”
“Rumor has it you did a great job this time. ”
Following up, I felt my eyes freeze.
It was not because I was wrong. I was definitely active.
But it hasn't been properly mentioned yet. Moreover, how did Han So-young, who was in the west, know that?
The question continued with a shovel of tail.
However, I could immediately understand the situation as soon as I listened to Han So-young. At the same time, I felt like I understood the strange gaze that I had felt earlier.
'I see. Rumors.'
It would've been weird if no one had seen you.
I nod lightly, then smile bitterly.
“I don't know. For me, it's more... I remember more of the clan members who failed in the war. At least for now.”
“Yes, I did a great job.” I can't say, so it was a very generous answer.
“… I'm sorry. ”
“Ah…. ”
However, whether the two queens accepted different meanings, they felt sorry for them at the same time. I reflected on the thought of saying something I shouldn't have.
And it was when I sighed for no reason.
“Mercenary Road. ”
It suddenly feels cool and smooth on the back of your hand.
When I looked down in surprise, I could see the beautiful hand of Hanyoung holding my hands.
Then there was a calm, comforting sound.
“I understand that feeling. If it's your first time, it's going to be hard. ”
“Ah…. Yes.”
“I don't know how to comfort you right now... But I want you to be strong. ”
“Go, thank you. ”
I duck my head as I try to pretend to be a child, and quickly pull out my hand. I felt like I was holding it in my hand for a moment, but I could feel it slipping away.
'Hands.'
I felt a sudden burning sensation on my face, but I straightforward cleared my stomach. Then I turn my head and look away, and soon my sword will be crushed. She looks at me with a very worried face, raising her hands, and quickly blinks her eyes as she looks at me.
I opened my mouth calmly, worrying that my head might have been injured during the war.
“Then why are you two... ”
“Oh, I need to talk to you for a second. ”
Han So-young answered quickly. Once or twice, her lips reopened.
“In the future, Istanbul Low will be building a siege network from the west. So... I thought maybe I could get help from the sword... ”
Han So-young glanced at the post-sword for a moment, shining her eyes.
“Your current clan has no great sense of humor. I was making a recommendation. ”
Looking at Han So-young, who admitted to being cool, I was able to understand the situation in a hurry.
'It's a concussion.'
He had a good reason for speaking up, but in the end, he had an idea for postmortem admission. After the sword, everyone is a coveted person, and Kim Duckfil told me that there is no big contact with the current clan.
Moreover, talent greed is as frightening as the second man, and we can't leave the sword to walk around alone.
Anyway, I opened my mouth with a good heart because it doesn't matter if I go to Han Soyoung.
“I see. So... Maybe I'll see you more often in Monica. Haha.”
It was then.
“Oh, no. ”
The rest shakes his head to the left and to the right, and opens his mouth quietly. And Han So-young's stare was overwhelming, and she was only looking at me.
“Just…. It's not confirmed, but I'm thinking about it. ”
“Well…. ”
I thought for a moment that I saw a subtly displeasing sword.
'The current clan is almost ruined…. I thought you said it was man-hating?'
But given the attitude towards me, it didn't seem to be that much of an aversion to extremes. In fact, I was assigned a special commission before the war, so I just thought it was a bit of a rejection.
'Or…. Maybe it's because he told me I'm a good person.'
Or maybe I'm mistaken.
Pic laughed at the thought of touching his head, and I woke up. I decided to help out a little, looking at the expression on his expressionless face, with a slight expression on my lips.
Actually, I think it would be fun to see the two pushing and pulling like this.... It was to my advantage that the sword would go to Istantell low for a long time.
“Users Remaining. If you're not tied to the current clan, you should come to Monica. The mercenary got a lot of help from Istantel Row when he was stationed in Monica. ”
“Mercenary? Monica? ”
Looking at the sword in a cute reply, I nodded my head to say so.
“Yes. Ah. By the way, didn't my clan owe it to you in the war? ”
“Until it becomes clear.... ”
“No, I heard you had a lot of help. I heard that I had overcome many crises before I arrived. ”
“If that's the case, I had help, too. ”
If you want to emphasize that it's okay, the blade shakes its head.
"So you're same-sex? '
I tilted my head, but I didn't know what would happen to the children before I got there.
“If you ever make it to Monica along Istantel Low Road, don't forget to stop by the merchandise. ”
“Well, can I? ”
“Of course. It's the silver of life. After the sword, of course I would welcome you. ”
“… Really? ”
At last, I gave him a big nod.
It sounded misleading, but it was aimed at Istantello.
In case you were wondering, I saw her sneezing and pushing her lips out.
I laughed deeply and barely opened my mouth.
“I think it's time to go. ”
Since we had work to do with each other, it was good to share and go on the way. In addition, no matter how good the intentions were, it was polite to be modest, and I thought that Han So-young would be able to cook enough.
Of course, it was not the reason that the increasingly attractive gaze was increasing.
Whether she thought like me, Han So-young stepped away from me for three or four steps.
“I'll be going, then. Take care.”
I said hello first this time.
“Yes, take a look. I hope to see you when this is all over. ”
“Yes, I'll see you soon. ”
'?'
I was a little offended by what the other person said, but I bowed my head thinking it was a good thing.
After that last goodbye, I immediately turned around and left the entrance.
Now all I have to do is get back to the mercenary clan.
*
After arriving at the Warp Gate, I made swift progress towards the Mercenary House. I was thinking about contacting her about arriving at the crystal ball soon, but I decided not to do it. I sent you a high performance early this morning anyway, so you should know how it is.
However, if there is one thing I hope when I arrive, I want you to show some attitude away from Shin Yong's death.
It was quick to get to the mercenary house by jumping in the middle.
The way I felt inside was the way it was. For some reason, I felt tense.
Soon after, I opened the door slightly, and I saw an unexpected sight.
“ ……. ”
You see the clans.
In front of the shrine grave in a corner of the garden, all the clans gathered.
I carefully closed the open door.
The clan members seemed friendly but solemn.
Nobody talks, nobody moves. Occasionally, some of the clans stare up at the grave, only looking up at the sky.
I stood at the entrance and observed the clan members for a moment. And I get the subtle feeling that all the clans are out there. The flow was definitely a sad energy... And yet not as helpless as before, but as determined as ever.
After staring at the clans for a while, I slowly walked away.
“Th…. ”
“Clan…. ”
Several clans look back to see if you felt any signs of entry, but I hold up my hands. Then slowly lowers the distance, killing the footsteps, melting into them like a ghost.
Suddenly, I swallowed a weak groan in front of the tomb.
In front of the tomb, Ahn Hyun knelt. I can't even look at myself with my eyes closed.
Ahn Hyun bowed at his waist twice and slowly got up. After a while, he opened his eyes. And calmly turned around and looked at me exactly. Maybe he knew I was here.
“Bro, I heard you can use your wishes in the user store after collecting 1 million gold points. ”
“ ……. ”
“Brother, commercial wants to save you. No, I'm going to make it look alive. ”
It's been a while since I met you. At the same time An-hyun spoke out, the gaze of all the clans was pouring on me.
Suddenly, I felt the weight on my shoulders. At the same time, I remembered myself 5 days ago.
'Let's stop for a second.'
'Please…. Please stop... We'll talk about it later.'
You don't have to say it long enough. That's it. I'm going to end this here. '
'And today... We recommend resting well. Dismissed then.'
Suddenly, I regretted saying that.
I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have dodged.
Yeah, well, at the very least, the issue with personal use should have been straightened out.
I calmly turn my head to look around one of the clans. And I could see why she was so worried about me. I ran away from the problem of personal use, and I couldn't face the coming future.
I organized my thoughts calmly. Then, I fixed my gaze on Ahn Hyun again. His eyes were restless.
Soon, I opened my mouth in a dry voice.
“I wasn't going to save her. I thought it was right. ”
“ ……. ”
“... It won't be easy. You sure you don't want to regret this? ”
“Yes, you won't regret it. ”
An-hyun was in a hurry. Seeing that she was so determined, I decided to ignore the matter.
“Fine. I won't stop you from saving my life. ”
The color on Ahn Hyun Il-soon's face turned white, but I immediately added a word.
“Just promise me one thing. ”
“Promise.... Yo?”
“Later, I saved Shin Yong's life. ”
When I learned that Shin Yong could not return to Earth.
“No matter what happens to you... I'll take it.”
As I still don't understand it now, Ahn Hyun showed a beautiful face at the moment. However, he nodded as soon as he had a strong desire to save his life.
After confirming An-hyun's promise, I sighed deeply.
“Let's go in.”
“Soo-hyun. The first meal... ”
“No, I have the results of the first meeting. So the conference room on the third floor... ”
At that moment, I stopped talking without my knowledge.
Soon before I could reconnect, I looked up at the Sulphite sky.
“ ……. ”
The dark fog that was caught this morning lifted and white clouds floated in the sky. The rising sun was shining bright in the garden across such a skylight.
“… I'll just eat first. All together. ”
Following the long sunlight, I calmly walked.

1. Part 1 has not yet been completed. There is something else that needs to be added from Seraph's point of view (this is followed by 386 recollections.), which will be posted tomorrow. This means that the next round is a true completion of Part 1.
2. In the Epilogue, “Why didn't this part come out? Some of you may have questions.” (For example, Su-hyun confesses the truth to her brother.) We will complete Part 1 tomorrow and will discuss it in more detail on Part 3.
3. I was originally thinking about a month of recess, but it was reduced by two weeks because someone I knew said it was too long.
But then the timing got a little hazy. If I resign two weeks after tomorrow's engagement, I have to start acting two parts from the beginning of December. But my final exam is scheduled for December 14th. That means you have to prepare for the test.
Therefore, after completing Part 1 on Friday, November 15 (Saturday) and Day 17 (Sunday), we will rest. There will be a two year time gap between the first and second parts, and we will deal with the episodes in between, and each episode will be composed independently for each part.
4. The next round is the completion of Part 1. I regret to inform you that in October, I was unable to answer any of my questions in my overwhelming messages or comments, and I will be replicating all of them. If you have a question, please answer it as long as it is not a spoiler. (but I will exclude comments with * beauty.)
