M E M O R I Z E

After leaving the castle, I had to suffer a strange feeling for a while. No matter how much I think about it, the clan members' reactions don't make sense. I was curious about just going to the temple, but it was even weirder to show off. It was like we were saying goodbye to a long goodbye that we might never see again. At that moment, I was mistaken if I was going to a dangerous extremity, not a temple.

“Ah.”

You need to keep moaning by yourself. Didn't Ansol do that? Isn't that a good thing? There must be a reason why they did so as a group, not just one or two. Then you can hear it later. We have some business with Seraph, so let's take it easy. Yeah, that's better.

When I straightened my mind and looked up, I was climbing the stairs to the temple to find out how I arrived. I struggled to question what was left of my chest and buried myself in the portal.

“Welcome. Soo-hyun.”

As soon as I entered, a quiet comet welcomed me as always. The only difference is that Seraph sits slightly to the left and waits, not at the center of the altar. As I sat on the ground, Seraph, who was about to say Moore, clapped his mouth. And then he starts staring at me. I took out the lotus weed while smoking.

“ ……. ”

I kept waiting, but I couldn't hear anything while I was burning through the filter. Even at the beginning of the year, the static was not over until the two were eliminated. Why is he so quiet again? Did you sell drugs to the group today? In the end, I stood up by rubbing the remaining candle on the ground halfway up.

“Okay, okay. ”

I walked in the mood to be what I wanted to be and sat down on the altar. At first, I sat down as far as I could, but Seraph leans forward as if he knew. But I knew you'd do it. When he hit the player, he was close to his body and he was surprised. He looks back at me, shaking quite a bit. Still smells good.

“Su-hyun, what are you doing here? ”

“You wouldn't have come if you'd stayed. ”

“That's it... Oh, no, no, no. Very unlikely. ”

“Don't lie to me. After holding the form at all. ”

Despite clear evidence, Seraph insists on being discredited. During the awkward cough, I took out a bird lotus candle and burned it. I opened my mouth with a long gush of smoke.

“What about angels?”

“... the seven generations of demons are beginning to rush back. That's all I got. ”

I giggle, giggle. Gabriel's a wimp, too.

“Anyway, I didn't expect you to call me this late. ”

“Have you collapsed? ”

“No, not at all. It was a good thing. I was gonna come and see you anyway. ”

“Oh, really? ”

Suddenly, Seraph's voice seemed a little natural. But the curious man said, "I asked about the possibility of opening a passageway between Earth and the Hole Plane. Surprisingly, Seraph nods without even thinking.

“It can only be based on the results. ”

The voice is bold.

“Are there restrictions or conditions in the process? ”

“Yes. There are two limitations in total. Soo-hyun seems to want to go back and forth whenever she wants, right? ”

“Then there 'll be nothing better.... Sounds like an impossible nuance. ”

“I'm afraid so. ”

Seraph shakes his head again.

“Zero Codes are divine crystals that exert infinite power. But the meaning of versatility is limited to the extent of the wishes that can be achieved, and technically, there is a limit to the power that can be dealt with at one time. ”

At the moment, I wanted to say that I was very good at making residents into users, but I could hardly bear it.

“So you need charging for reuse? Like a latency concept. ”

“That's right, not just to send it back to Earth, but to bring it back into the category of requests. I mean, the heavier the wish, the higher the power that has to be available. ”

“I know what you mean... How long does it take? ”

“If Su-hyun was the only one to come and go, she wouldn't have to recharge in the first place.... ”

Seraph blurs. I was able to intuit what would follow. Maybe the more people we go back to, the more weight we gain.

“We estimate five to six years, including the error range. ”

Huh? What? I've only told you the story, and I haven't told you who I'm going back with. But you've already thought about the error and finished the calculation? This is a little weird.

... I might have to calculate it. Anyway, between five and six years. It's longer than I thought.

“The regression of time was not quickly dealt with? ”

“It was a simple goal to achieve, but the target of the wish was limited to one person. There is a huge difference between a specific request for a hall plane and a request to scale both the earth and the hall plane. ”

“Well... So there's no way to shorten the timeframe? ”

“Reduce the number of returnees. ”

“Not that one. Honestly, I don't know how long it's gonna take. Maybe hundreds of them. ”

“Alternatively, there is a way for individuals to give up their user information. It's a very different thing than sending a human being and sending a very powerful user. ”

So lowering your ability as a user is also a way to lose weight. But I don't think anyone would like that. You don't just give up. I don't know, but most people probably think the same thing.

Anyway, the whole world is full of shit. I have to tell the Zero Code when I get back. He's incompetent.

“Let's just say. I thought there was one more. ”

“Yes. Did you know that Su-hyun also exists on Earth? ”

It was a sudden question, but not embarrassing. I already knew that.

“I know. I'm a copy of the Earth. I'm a copy of the Hole Plane. I moved the original. ”

“Partially correct. So did you know that the Earth and the Hole Plane run the same time? ”

“... I hope so? Maybe. What do you want to talk about anyway? ”

“About when to go back. Su-hyun was summoned to Hall Plain on the return train. ”

It was not a good thing to hear. Seraph was also quick to say if I felt any discomfort.

“When will Soo-hyun return to Earth? ”

“Of course, I have to get back to the point before I'm summoned.... Wait, so what happens to users who are different from me? ”

“Su-hyun will automatically return at the same time. ”

“What?"

“But you don't have to worry about that. because being the base is basically human beings on Earth. ”

“ ……? ”

Seraph continued to explain as if he knew what I was worried about.

“As Su-hyun said earlier, the users of Hall Plain are being forcibly summoned. So these two beings don't merge equally with each other, but they come back in the form of human beings being overwritten. Do you understand?”

Ah, I see. Seraph said not that he accepts humans as users, but that he accepts users as humans. For example, in the case of Yeon-ju, the eleventh year user, there is no need to feel weird during the six-year period of space.

Now that I think about it, it's amazing what it would feel like to live a normal life and suddenly combine years of memories and experiences. Of course it won't be a distraction, but at least it'll be better than an electron. I feel like I'm being treated as a part, but that doesn't change who I am here or there or myself. I felt at ease.

“That's right, Seraph. ”

“Yes?”

“Do you think we could adjust the timing at random? not five years ago, but 15 years ago. ”

“... It's not impossible... ”

At that time, Serrap's steady face was slightly distorted for the first time.

“I wouldn't recommend it. ”

“Why?”

“Fifteen years ago... Su-hyun is about 12 years old, right? ”

“Yes. Why... Oops.”

Then I realized why Seraph was reluctant. At the same time, I realized how absurd you just said that. I had forgotten to talk to Seraph for a while.

Twenty-four men who have left the military in good health cannot be guaranteed to fully accept this day. It's a good thing we stopped being mentally ill. Maybe they make extreme choices because they don't overcome guilt. But I'm the only middle school student who can handle my current day? The passing dog laughs.

“I see. I see what you mean. ”

Seraph lets out a sigh of relief, wondering if you might be stubborn. I smiled bitterly. Of course I'd be lying if I wasn't worried....

You still have to. No, I had to. Rather than stumbling around and spending meaningless time every day like this, I wanted to pave the way somehow, even though I couldn't guarantee the future.

Anyway, I think I got a little contoured and heard everything. All that's left is to define the details.

“This will take a while.... ”

In fact, I had a vague feeling. I thought I could just go back without thinking, but it wasn't as simple as that. I'd rather be alone. If I can't, I look around dozens of people, and there are so many things to consider, it's not complicated.

But there is also the saying that the beginning is half. Above all, it should converge on the opinions of the clan members, as well as on Han Soyoung and his brother. It's not that we can't afford it and we can take it slow.

“… good. Should I get up?”

“Soo-hyun?”

“Oh, I've got to go. It's too late.”

“Ah…. ”

I got up moderately. I felt frustrated for sitting for a long time, so I lighted up my base as hard as I could.

“First of all, this is how the base goalkeeper knows. Let me know the rest as soon as it's settled...? ”

It was about three or four steps from the altar.
