The sky was already filled with dark light. After leaving the city in the morning and returning late at night, the users all headed to the street with tired faces. For those who earn a day and eat a day, there were only a few drinks after exploration.

For a while, the users who were standing in the street immediately walked to a tavern that was illuminated by a faint light. And as soon as I opened the door that said "mercenary tavern," waxy sounds came out.

The mercenary tavern was not so famous, but the food and beer tasted good and most of all affordable, so it was almost full at night. But fortunately, the users who found an empty table in the corner shouted loudly, gluing their exhausted butts to the chair.

“Hey, little brother! Here, let's get you a big beer first! ”

“Yes, sir! Get it now! ”

Shortly after, the young man showed up with four large beers. The liquid in the glass was dark pink, not bright yellow, but one peculiar thing was that the bubbles on the surface were boiling.

Soon after, the young man stretched out his arms and the beer swirled around and sat safely in front of the users. Surprisingly, the liquid did not spurt out, just swirling in the direction of rotation. But now, as if they were familiar, they smiled and raised their beer glasses.

“Son of a bitch. I mean, it's amazing every time I see it. ”

“Heh heh. Service. Service. What would you prefer, Anju? ”

“Bring what you've always eaten. Oh, give me plenty of meat. ”

“I understand!”

The young man responded vigorously and leaned over the table with a swift gesture. When I arrived in the kitchen, I pushed my face in and looked around. Heat was gushing from inside.

“Hyun-woo! Four stir-fried ones! Lots of meat! ”

“Okay. ”

“Huh? What about Hyun-woo? ”

“You're calculating. ”

When Hayeon, who was stirring the pot, pointed to her jaw, the young man, An-hyun, immediately turned his head. As Hayeon said, users were just getting up on one table, and Park Hyun-woo was calculating the price of food next to him. An-hyun ran as if to take the cloth that Hayeon had thrown, and straightened the table with a quick flick.

However, the table was quickly filled with new users, and Ahn Hyun took another order and ran to the kitchen.

How long has it been?

Take orders, deliver food, calculate, set the table.

When Ahn Hyun who was stirring up the restaurant for a while woke up, about three-quarters of the tables in the restaurant were cleared out. Now the dawn is slowly approaching. Time to wake up and prepare for tomorrow by moderately satisfied users.

Nonetheless, the remaining users can still be divided into two broad categories.

“Hey! Drink, drink! I'm gonna shoot you dead today! ”

“Wow, what's up with this guy? I don't have enough money to sleep all the time, so this bastard... ”

“You found a section of Radolov today. That's why I shoved it up my ass. Kuhahaha!”

“Oh. Oh, yeah? Did you collect some sparkles? ”

Today's expedition was a success, and tomorrow's users don't have to leave.

“Shi Young... Sorry, Si-young... I'm sorry I left you alone.... Ugh…."

“Enough, man. If you hadn't run away then, you'd be dead, too. The living must live. ”

“I'm the bad guy.... Oh, no, no, no. Ho, I wonder if he's alive. Isn't that right? It could happen, right? ”

“Stop it. It's not just a Goblin, it's a Hobb Goblin. You don't know these monsters are cruel? Where... You heard about the disappearance when the mercenary caravan went after Hobbs Goblins? But it was discovered a while ago when the power was down. So stop giving up now.... ”

And users who grieve because their colleagues or loved ones die, so they can't survive without drinking.

At this time, Ahn Hyun always felt strange. It's because I couldn't erase the awkward feeling when I heard something.

The users who made twenty-thirty gold coins and acted like they had the whole world were surprised, and even the users who couldn't handle only one Goblin were baffled. I wanted to take care of it myself.

Maybe it's natural for An-hyun to do this.

We started with the Dark Forest, where even the first exploratory users were reluctant to enter, and we have been on a remarkable path to success ever since. Is that all? Kim Soo-hyun is gold. Didn't she feed, clothe, and nurture Okja? It also pretends to be a rare class that everyone dreams of.

Great leaders and good colleagues. At least, An-hyun didn't understand the users sitting at the table because she had been active without worrying about the spirits.

even though they're the same users in the same world, they've been in the opposite direction.

However, it wasn't that little I felt while living as a non-combat user. If you look at them like that, sometimes you say, "What if I didn't meet you? 'I used to think.

Of course, the older brother was Kim Soo-hyun.

“Ahn Hyun, I think I have a new guest. ”

“Yes? Ah, yes! ”

I guess I was too deep in thought. When Park Hyun-woo touched his side, Ahn-hyun was surprised and raised his head. The door creaks. I think someone opened and closed it outside, but it's not coming in.

An-hyun tilted his head, but ran quickly. Inside, it was Dum who was complaining about who was coming at this time.

“Welcome... ”

Soon after arriving at the door, Ahn Hyun paused. Outside the door were three or four users dressed in ugly outfits. Three women, to be exact. The women looked at Ahn Hyun, who opened the door with a pathetic face.

An-hyun said, feeling uneasy.

“Eh…. Are you here for dinner?”

“No…. ”

One of the women shakes her head. And I opened my mouth in a very pitiful voice.

“By any chance... I was wondering if I could get some leftovers... ”

“… Yes? ”

“Please, I haven't eaten anything today. ”

“But.”

“Just once, can you help me just once? I'm begging you, it's okay if someone left some leftovers. ”

“ ……. ”

An-hyun tried to shake her head even though she was troubled, but she couldn't do it when she begged with her face. Looking at it closely, I really feel like I can starve for a few days.

An-hyun turned his head to Salmoney. Unfortunately, the users who were still sitting were raising Jupiter Island. And on both tables, there was some food, even though it was a slight win.

“... just this once. Just a moment."

An-hyun immediately turned around. And I waited for the users to leave, and then I began to take the leftovers out of the cleanest dishes.

When she came out with her arms extended, she blinked at Ahn Hyun like that.

“What are you doing? Hungry?”

“Oh, no. You too. People are coming outside... I'm hungry. ”

“… so. Is that for you?"

“Yes, can't I? ”

“Hmmm. You'll regret it. ”

“ ……? ”

Ahn Hyun made his eyes round, but Ha-yeon shrugged. And I said, "Yeah. I need to know this. Don't make a sound on the way, don't just walk out, raise your hearing at the door. And you just wait.” Speaking of which, I'm starting to clear out the table that's still a mess.

An-hyun felt curious, but he killed the sound as much as he could and moved on. And I listened to the door with the greatest hearing, just as Ha-yeon had said.

After a short while, you hear voices howling beyond the door. The incoming voice, not just the same pathetic tone as before, was a voice that was secretly filthy somewhere.

“Fuck you. Finally, I asked him a question. You're asking for a cripple? Look! I asked you to come here! Anyway, we can eat for free for a while. Knng!”

“By the way, the kid looks really good.... You know, you guys know the rumors. The kid who just got out, he was a big shot at the mercenary. He even took a rare class. ”

“Then what are you doing? It's completely abandoned now anyway. And apparently he's stuck on a woman, a prize-winning fag. ”

“Bitch, think about it. Even if it's a machine, you can't just throw away a rare class. One day he will reap it. ”

“Well, come to think of it, So, what do we do? ”

“Possibly. Apparently, it's not pure, so it seems naive... Once you have a good relationship, if you give yourself a few chances and bite it... ”

That was the limit I could bear. An-hyun heavily opened the door by grinding it. Then, looking at the surprised women, I poured the dish into the food bin as if looking. Then I saw the women reaching out for the food that was going into the trash, and I closed the door roughly enough.

However, when she was not cold, Ha-yeon came and patted her head down like a gazelle. And he gently shoved his back and said,

“I told you before. There are no free favorite users and no legitimate users in Hall Plane. Don't say no next time. ”

“How…. Did you know?”

“I know it when I see it. I've never seen one or two of those kids in my first year. Anyway, I'm done for the day, so go ahead. ”

“Let me help you.”

“It's okay. It's my turn this morning anyway. And tomorrow morning, you're on call. ”

“… Yes. ”

An-hyun answered powerlessly. And Hayeon smiled calmly as she watched Anhyeon stumbling down the stairs on the second floor.

“Hyun! I have to get up early tomorrow morning. You have to, okay? ”

An-hyun nodded dry and went up to the room on the second floor. And I threw myself into bed. My body wasn't tired, but I felt tired for no reason.

In a bed so small and smelly, An-hyun closed her eyes. Before going to sleep, several faces touched An-hyun's head.

Ansol, Yu Jung, Shin Jae Ryong, Cha Sorim, and Kim Soo Hyun....

But that was also a moment. Darkness slowly entered Ahn Hyun's head, accompanying the sound of rough profanity and trash cans outside the window.

*

I think I closed my eyes for a moment, but the air in the morning filled the room.

An-hyun, who was sniffing his nose, barely got up while snapping his neck. And as I looked through the window with my sleepy eyes, I realized that last night's trash can had disappeared.

“... Do you want to eat it? I'm not a cat burglar. ”

Although she hasn't woken up completely yet, Ahn Hyun opened a visit and went down the stairs. As Ha-yeon asked, I took over the party this morning.

The tavern usually sells better at night than in the morning, but users still came for breakfast. So I had to finish cleaning and open the door to prepare for the guest.

It was a short walk down the stairs.

However, the situation is….

I see. A lot has happened over the years....

Yes, it will take about four weeks. We'll be leaving around lunch today. I'm also very busy, and I need her hand...

Hoho. So the vacation is over...?

Maybe it's because I'm still awake. In the voices that sounded like a dream, I wondered about Ahn Hyun's face.

Yes, and also, this user academy is something different. I told you yesterday, but you need to stay sharp...

I'm nervous when you say that...

That's what I said. Ah, user Park Hyun-woo should be back soon...?

Hahaha. I'll be ready anytime. OK. Thank you for your help in the meantime. Clan Load….

At the end, however, when An-hyun heard the word Clan Road, she stopped walking like she had been struck by lightning. But after a while, he went down and looked around on the first floor.

Finally, I was able to see a woman and two men sitting at the table talking about Dorado.

Jung-yeon, Park Hyun-woo. And….

“Oh? You're awake? ”

“Hmm? Hmm. ”

It was Kim Soo-hyun.

“Er... Ah... ah... ”

In fact, I've been dreaming a lot. I dreamed that Kim Soo-hyun would open the door one day and forgive herself. If you have not wished for such a situation once in your life, you would be lying.

However, after seeing her in front of my eyes for so long, Ahn Hyun couldn't open his mouth. It just turned white in my head.

While Ahn Hyun was stuttering, Jeongyeon and Park Hyun-woo raised themselves up at the same time as if they had promised. And he moved aside with a surprise smile.

Along the way, there was a quiet and awkward silence on the first floor.

Maybe An-hyun is the only one who feels that way. Kim Soo-hyun was still pulling out the beginning of the year from both sides that she still didn't care.

Around the time An-hyun's mouth was about to burn, Kim Soo-hyun lit a fire at the beginning of the year and knocked on the table a couple of times. An-hyun was still frozen. When Kim Soo-hyun knocked on the table again and nodded his head, then Ahn Hyun was able to wake up.

Though I thought about it, Ahn Hyun ran like a fly and carefully sat on the chair. My butt was warm because it was the seat that Hayeon sat on.

“Whew.”

Smoke and a little fire scattered through the air. Around the time An-hyun was chasing the fire without my knowledge, I heard a low voice.

“I heard you're working pretty hard... Is it worth it?"

An-hyun swallowed the saliva. Suddenly, I felt relieved by the tension.

“Just…. Moderately.”

“Then why don't you go out this way at all. I heard it's quite popular. The bar sales have gone up pretty well. What do you think, employer? ”

An-hyun tried to laugh like a habit and immediately shut up. It's because I thought I would smile even if I wasn't there yet.

For a while, time passed.

An-hyun who is restless, and Kim Soo-hyun who looks at An-hyun like that.

Then, a slightly softer voice than the first time.

“Okay, let me ask you something. ”

“Yes, yes. Brother... oh, no, Clan Lord. ”

Whether An-hyun's attitude was inappropriate, Kim Soo-hyun burst his lips with a grin. Then I opened my mouth with a fluff of linseed.

“You. Why did you go to the sleeping mountains? ”

This time, it was about Jung Yeon and Ahn Hyun's life. And the missing gymnosophist. Park Hyun-woo's scent. What, is it a direct or indirect experience as an Ahn Hyun? Hahaha. I wanted to use it as a mood swing and a quiet atmosphere, but I hope it will reach you well.:)
