M E M O R I Z E

I've finally returned to the Mercenary Clan House.

The clans have welcomed us unexpectedly.

I knew you'd welcome me, of course. But it was so much that I had to feel embarrassed.

The first cheer and applause were fine, but there was no sign of an end. He barely sinks it, and now he looks at me with a big smile. Looking at them quietly, I thought, maybe I'm crazy as a group.

I was a little worried, but I'm still embarrassed. After I told the clans that I had suffered, I went straight to HaYeon. It was because Ha-yeon was the most normal face.

“Did everything go well? ”

“Yes. I just stayed quiet.... Ah.”

It was then. Hayeon smiled softly and suddenly stared at my shoulder. Soon after Ha-yeon stepped back, I quickly turned around. Then I saw Seon Yoon and Ansol who looked tired.

Seon Yoon opened his mouth first.

“Clan Road. Some of the rescued users want to meet Clan Road once. ”

“Yes? Why? Didn't you get all their gear? ”

“I'm not talking about equipment, I'm thankful you saved my life.... He wants to repay the favor. I think we're talking about joining a clan. ”

“Don't talk nonsense, just tell them to go back. Oh, and tell your clients to bring Gimjeong to visit soon. Now that you've completed the quest, you need to get the rest. ”

I didn't hesitate to cut it in half. It was because they said they would repay the favor on the outside, but it was obvious. If there was another user worth scouting, I looked at one of them on the way, and they were all worth it.

Later, I looked at Seon Yu, bowing my head and turning around, and I turned my gaze to Ansol. Anzor's eyes looked at me, eager to know something.

“Why?”

“Brother. I... What are you doing today? ”

And it wasn't until I heard the following that I could understand Ansol's feelings. This expedition took more than two months to build. Therefore, I will miss warm rice and soft beds even if I am tired.

“No. I've had a rough day, so I think it's better to take the day off. Rest well today. Go tell him that. ”

“Really?"

I nodded slowly because I had to go to the gymnasium with Ahn Hyun anyway. I smiled bitterly as I saw Ansol running like a fly. It seems like he's been a little distracted.

After a while, I looked back at her.

“I'm a little tired myself today. ”

“Well done, Clan Lord. I told you to prepare a meal or clean the room on the way out, so you should go right in. ”

At Hayeon's words, I calmly walked toward the door. Next to her, I felt a precaution following carefully. Then, I looked up at the sky and saw the sun floating in the sky. It was still shining a bright light, but I think it will fall soon.

As I looked down, I suddenly felt empty.

Then I don't see Yumi. Yumi has a special ability, and if I go out somewhere, I know when I'll come back like a ghost. Why can't I see it today when I see it at the front door?

“But where is Yumi? ”

“Oh, Yumi? Are you really busy right now? ”

“Yes? Busy? ”

“Haha…. You might be surprised. ”

Huh? Surprised to see you?

I tilted my head to what Hayeon said, but I didn't ask her about it anymore. Then I slowly opened the door and turned to the restaurant first. In fact, it was the same for me that I wanted a warm and delicious meal. This place is better than eating out here.

The meal was definitely fine. No, it was made by a skilled chef, not by the flowers of the night, so I could eat it very well.

After my meal, I left the restaurant and sat down in a chair in the lobby on the first floor. In front of the fireplace, there was a flashing flame burning vigorously. I felt a warm glow all over my body, and I closed my eyes and fell into thought.

Over the past two years, the Machinery has received numerous quests and excavated numerous ruins. Then, of course, the results will follow, but in the meantime, they have not simply been kept in storage. It is because the ruins, which are the main income sources, are limited and cannot be relied upon for exploration.

He bought shops, inns, taverns, etc. externally, or built branches in other cities, and funded the welfare of clans such as the Machinery Academy, building renovations, and forges internally.

Particularly the most important part was the restaurant. Meals are a major part of life, as they correspond to ceremonial beverages, because, in fact, the cooking skills of the flowers at night were very poor. (If it is musty, it should refresh the beginning of the day, and I feel like my body is sagging when I eat a meal cooked by flowers at night.)

After returning the flowers of the night to the house management, the restaurant was renovated largely. As a result, the users who are currently managing the restaurant were relatively skilled couples who also have experience running the restaurant in modern times.

I met this couple... Well, it's a coincidence.

I had a business trip to Eden one day, and I stopped by a small restaurant after I finished my business. At that time, I met the couple, and the one thing that was unusual was that they were not non-combat users. A skilled combat user who once had quite a reputation.

At first, I wondered why I was living like a non-combat user, but I could understand why. It's because my wife became pregnant while active, and my husband no longer refused my wife to fight violent battles.

Eventually, they stopped all activities at the time of childbirth, and they opened a restaurant with their savings.

Anyway, the food was very good, so after talking a little bit, I scouted the couple with the takeover of the restaurant. It was an ancestor because couples can raise children in good conditions and safer environments, and we can also eat good food every meal.

“Mmm-hmm. My brother. ”

Maybe it's because I've been eating good food for a long time. As I turned my gaze to the soft voice, I saw Ansol sitting on the chair next to me. His face is filled with satiety and his left hand gently strokes his stomach. It was a happy face.

“Why.”

“Me…. I'm so full right now... ”

“Yes. You think you can live now? ”

“Yes. To be able to drink in front of a warm fireplace like this... I'm so happy... ”

Ansol smiles and takes a big cup in his right hand. I stared at Ansol as he poured his drink into my stomach without rest for a while. How the hell did he get into that white, stingy neck? The cup was almost flat.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough! ”

Soon, Ansol put the cup down and spit out a weak cough.

At that moment, I felt the quiet surroundings become noisy with the feeling of falling out of the fire.

I looked around Salmoney and I saw some clans from the restaurant gathering to talk. I can hear him digging around with his excited face. He seems to be caught by those who are curious about exploration.

After listening to the surrounding stories for a while, I looked back at Ansol. When I was full, I could see the anvil turning my head to sleep. I waved Ansol's shoulder.

“Ansol. Let's go back to sleep. ”

“Hmmm... Huh?”

Ansol shrugs for a moment. Soon, however, I looked up at me with sleepy eyes. In front of the fireplace, his face was flared, and a faint light was flashing in his eyes. Then suddenly, Ansol's lips opened.

“Brother... ”

“Huh?"

“You know my brother... ”

“Yes.”

Ansol's lips ache if he wants to say something. I waited for the words to continue calmly.

But in the end, whether he gave up, Ansol raised his body with a weak smile.

“… No. Nothing, nothing. ”

“… Is that so? ”

I took out a lotus candle and stared at the anvil stumbling. It's my brother, An-hyun. I wondered what I wanted to say, but soon I erased it from my mind. The disposal of Ahn Hyun was already decided and there was no time for consideration.

After a while, I thought I'd just burn this thing and light it at the beginning of the year. Then I closed my eyes and buried myself deep in the chair.

Tomorrow will be very busy.

*

The next morning, the morning of the Mercenary Clan was very hectic. It's because when I finished eating well and started talking about my performance, I suddenly got a call. It's not just a summons, it's a summons.

Even though the members of the mountain ranges were curious about the outcome or the clans they did not join, everyone began to enter one meeting room without a peer. It was because Kim Soo-hyun, a clan lord, was intuitive of the reason for the summoning.

In this brief moment, the structure of the machine is essentially all the power is focused on Kim Soo-hyun. Of course, there were clans representing each sector, but they were merely representatives.

In other words, there is no official position as a large executive or executive.

I mean, it's Clan One all the way. The mercenary treats all clan members equally, with the exception of the clan road, and has a similar right of speech, regardless of year or skill. This structure was a good fit for the structure of a minority elite mercenary.

Even though there was no such thing as a binary, there were users who were implicitly acknowledged among the clans.

Among them, Kim Soo-hyun's top three users were Shadow Queen Goon, Blue Moon Madosa Jeong Yeon, and Gonghyun Ahn.

Kim Soo-hyun also became as difficult to take care of one person as during the caravan, with the exception of Ahn Hyun. Kim Soo-hyun led An-hyun whenever he had time, and whenever he went, he carried her around all the time. Is that all? And whenever An-hyun distributed his results after digging up the ruins, he was always on target.

As a result, An-hyun was able to retain user information that no one could ignore, and was able to establish his place within the clan.

In fact, the reputation of An-hyun's clan is quite good. It was because I didn't have a stiff attitude or a strong personality.

Moreover, there were no clan members who were seriously jealous or jealous, despite the slight favour of taking care of them in their own mindset, rather than gardening the newcomers.

With Ahn Hyun like that, the clan's reaction to the bombing was also dramatically different. 'Penalties without exception.' Wow 'But An-hyun.' response.

As to how Kim Soo-hyun, who usually loved Ahn Hyun, would handle it this time, it was of great concern to the whole of the Mercenary Clan.

“Wow, I thought I'd get away with it yesterday, but I didn't. What will happen to Ahn Hyun? ”

“I saw you go into the conference room earlier... Clan Road is a little harsh, by the way. I just got back from the clan. ”

“No. What's the big deal? I'm just happy. Even though it's called Ahn Hyun, it's wrong to do it wrong. Rather, I'd be very disappointed in Clan Lord if I'd just gotten over it. ”

“Who said it wasn't? But I also heard about Hyun... ”

The meeting room on the fourth floor is where the summons will take place. The summoned members of the Mercenary Clan held heated discussions about Ahn Hyun as they climbed the stairs to the fourth floor.

“No, what are you talking about? You must have heard it all on your way here! ”

“Cough, cough, cough! ”

At that moment, the companion coughs loudly and furiously at the bottom of the stairs. Reflectively, there was an old man who struggled to climb the stairs. Comrade immediately stopped talking and ran to Huddah.

“Oh dear, a chronic old man! You're not well, but what are you doing here...? ”

“What brings you here? I came because the summons came down.... But what are you all doing here? I'm dying of hardship, blocking my way up there. Cough!”

Lee Man-sung coughed once more and raised his head. Then the clans stood on the stairs, avoiding each other's gaze. Lee Man-sung pulled out his tongue and sighed deeply.

“The Clan Lord will decide what to do, and what to say now." So let's cut the crap and get up there. Looks like we're the late... ”

Comrade Seong-seong raised Lee Man-sung without speaking. That way, the clans step into the fourth-floor conference room quietly.

As Lee Chronic said, almost all the users had already gathered in the Great Meeting Room. In the middle of the meeting room, Ahn Hyun, Jeongyeon, and Purity stood as sinners, and there were more than fifty users sitting neatly on the tables.

After a while, Kim Soo-hyun lightly greeted Lee Man-sung who was slowly seated. And I made sure that everyone, except all the clan members, or the high performers, had gathered and opened their mouths quietly.

“Looks like we're all here. So, let the meeting begin. ”

The conference room was filled with solemn and heavy energy. The clan members gaze at three people in the center, each with an awkward gaze. Ahn Hyun, Jeongyeon Jeong, Pak Han-geuk. Those three were like the original year members of the longest-established mercenary with Kim Soo-hyun, even for the second time.

Kim Soo-hyun opened her mouth.

“We're all aware of the situation anyway, so we'll get started without further explanation. An-hyun?”

“Yes…. Yes!”

At the moment I called her name, Ahn Hyun stuttered and replied. It's because I felt so distant about Ahn Hyun. But without being able to accept it, Kim Soo-hyun's words continued.

“First time, last chance. Let's argue.”

And as soon as he took it out, there was a little commotion. To argue without a verse is to say that we have already confirmed Ahn-hyun's sin. The clan members were nervous, but they remembered Kim Soo-hyun leaving the conference room two months ago.

'I'm going to warn you one last time. If this happens again in the future, it will be difficult for anyone to avoid responsibility.'

'I just said, there will be no exceptions to this case.'

After taking a short breath, Ahn Hyun carefully opened his mouth.

“First the tongue, brother. You really saved me... ”

“Ahn Hyun user? ”

“… Sorry. Clan Lord.”

“Yes, user Ahn Hyun. I don't remember asking you to thank me. Why I did it, why I did it. to explain this, to convince me. Now, you don't understand what I'm saying? ”

“ ……. ”

It is because the man who gives himself a cold glance in front of his eyes felt unfamiliar. An-hyun swallowed a gulp and looked at Salmoney Hayeon. And as she nodded, she bit her lip slightly.

“An excuse for being a mistake for a moment. I'm so sorry. I don't think there's enough explanation for this, and I think it's all my fault. I will accept whatever punishment you may inflict. However..."

“Hmm. I guess so. I have no intention of excusing myself, and will be punished accordingly. Then I have nothing to say about your probation as planned. ”

Kim Soo-hyun lifted one eye slightly. And Ahn Hyun raised his head. It wasn't because I stopped talking in the middle. Being on probation was a much lesser punishment than expected.

“Yes, yes! ”

“Very well. Then let's put Ahn Hyun in charge of this situation and put him on probation. I'm not going to object to this. ”

As Su-hyun's words fell, a much bigger mess fell into the meeting room.

It was then.

“However, this probation does not refer to general probation. There are three limitations that apply to conditional probation with three limitations: User Ahn Hyun. ”

Then I heard solemnity and silence again in the sullen meeting room.

An-hyun regained the tension that he had placed slightly. Discretion means being careful not to say anything or do anything. I didn't know what the punishment would be, but I thought it would be okay to be on probation.

Soon, Kim Soo-hyun listened to the record in front of her, then looked up at Ahn Hyun again.

And that was the moment.

“Number one. Remove An-hyun's Clan Member position. At this time, I will no longer acknowledge An-hyun as a member of the Mercenary Clan. ”

Kim Su-hyun's low and cold voice rang for a quiet meeting room.

Oh, this is crazy. Han So-young is getting ahead of herself as a result of the vote. This won't do. Since Han So-young is likely to get a ticket, I should drop it. Sooner or later, Han So-young will appear. I'm going to draw it in the most disgusting way possible, and I'm going to bring the votes down. Hahaha. (No, you can't be serious.)

There are still two limitations left, and you may think that the punishment for Ahn Hyun is excessive. But I have a better idea, so I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on me a little longer.:)

I hope you have a good day, and I hope you enjoy it.

P.S. Thank you all for your vote. We will continue to vote, so please cast your ballot!
