Possessing Nothing

I didn't know what was happening. Lee Sung-min left Kim Jong-hyun's room and stood there and touched his ear. The moment Jong-hyun tried to talk... something happened. I didn't know what the hell was going on, but the strange camouflage I felt at the time was real.

What the hell is that? ’

Lee Sung-min pressed his ear while feeling confused. You said you were going to die. What nonsense is that? In that room, there were only two Lee Sung-min and Kim Jong-hyun. Lee Sung-min can't be trying to kill Kim Jong-hyun, but who's going to kill Kim Jong-hyun?

‘Wait.’

Think about what happened on Mt. Mesh. The words Mesh muttered while saying ‘soliloquy.’ At the end of the sentence, Mesh warned someone other than Lee Sung-min.

"Stop. This is my territory. If you don't want to perish, you'd better not come. ’

At that time, I didn't listen to him very much. Then... Who did the Mesh warn like that? It was cold. Lee Sung-min touched the back of his neck. The chill that I felt while listening to the story was engraved deeply on Lee Sung-min.

“Huh?"

When Lee Sung-min can't leave the door of Kim Jong-hyeon and is tidying up his thoughts. Someone came at Lee Sung-min with a loud voice. Lee looked back in response to the impending mechanism.

“You…”

The woman who was keeping her eyes open opened her mouth. Lee tilted his head as he looked at the woman who was looking at his face. The woman who looked at Lee Sung-min's face for a long time frowned.

“Wasn't that the crazy one? ”

“… Yes? ”

Lee Sung-min suddenly opened his eyes. That's right. She muttered. The woman who was staring at Lee Sung-min opened her mouth.

“Don't you recognize me? ”

“… who are you? ”

“Wow, what the hell is all this? ”

I tapped my heart as if the woman was frustrated with Lee Sung-min's question. Red hair and red eyes. There was a touch in Lee Sung-min's head later. Lee Sung-min's mouth was halfway opened.

“Scarlet?”

“Now you recognize me! ”

Scarlet shouted at Lee Sung-min's question. Lee Seong-min took a few steps back, in a big voice.

Scarlet Leshire. The woman I met on Mt. Mesh. She was performing on the mountain a year before Lee Sung-min, and left the mountain after finishing her work with the Dark Lord Bei-jun.

“Why is Scarlet here? ”

“That's what I'm going to say. ”

What I did not recognize was simple. Although it was three years later, Lee Sung-min remembered the figure of Scarlet as a woman who sinned by not washing her clothes, and smelled bad on her messed head.

But what about Scarlet in front of you? Clean clothes without stains, face and hair are clean. Seeing the appearance of such a scarlet, Lee Sung-min realized that Scarlet was a great beauty.

“This is the Wizard's Guild. Weren't you trained to be a working man? Why, so you can change routes and be a wizard? ”

“No, it's not that...”

“Then what is it? To learn magic and skilllessness at the same time? Oh, don't do anything you shouldn't have done...”

“I didn't say no. I'm not here to learn magic. ”

Lee sighed deeply and hung up on Scarlet. With that attitude, Scarlet pouted his lips.

“Then why are you here? ”

“I have business to attend to. ”

“Something to do? ”

Scarlet glances at the red gate behind Lee Sung-min. Seeing the door, Scarlet frowns.

“Is it something to do with that crazy bastard, Jonghyun Kim? ”

“Do you know each other? ”

“Don't you see? That son of a bitch. ”

Scarlet grunts and scratches his back head with his hands. On the mountain, the white dandruff falls like snow every time Scarlet scratches his head, but it doesn't snow now. Looks like Scarlet's habit is to scratch his head.

“It's good to see you. I'd like to talk to you, but I'm pretty busy right now. Do you want to come to my room? ”

“In the room? ”

“Hey, hey. You little creamy. Don't get weird on me. You're just trying to waste your time because you're bored. ”

“What did I tell you? ”

“How old are you? ”

“… 18 years old. ”

“Boys that age are all grumpy. It's just dirty in my head. ”

“That doesn't sound like anything...”

Lee Sung-min grumbles, but Scarlet doesn't seem to want to bend his claim. Scarlet drags Lee Sung-min to his room. Unlike the disassembled ogre's arms and legs and Kim Jong-hyun's room, Scarlet's room did not float those ugly things. But it was pretty messy.

“Sit where you're supposed to. ”

Scarlet, who talks like that, sits on a mountain of books with his butt on it. Seong-min looked around the room and muttered.

“Scarlet was just a dirty man. ”

“Hey, do you mind if I say something? That's what most wizards do. And why am I a mess? Do you know how many showers I've taken in a day since I got out of that shitty mountain? ”

Scarlet grunts and twists his legs.

“So, why are you here? ”

In that question, Lee explained how he got to the Wizard's Guild. It wasn't even worth hiding anyway. After Lee's story, Scarlet frowns and mutters.

“Jonghyun Kim. I heard that crazy bastard was rubbing Chimera. I didn't know it was you who caught it. ”

“… who is he? ”

Then, Lee Sung-min didn't know exactly what kind of person Kim Jong-hyun was. All I know is that he is a Korean from a different earth than Lee Sung-min. Scarlet shrugs at Lee Sung-min's question.

“He's crazy. I'm a little, no, I'm a lot weirder. But you're good at it. There is no better wizard in the Wehenger Wizard Guild than Kim Jong-hyun, who knows more about Black Magic and Chimera. ”

In Scarlet's assessment of "madman," Lee Sung-min was forced to be positive. It was because Kim Jong-hyeon who was playing with the remains of the Ogre floating in the room was a little far from normal people.

“Why is Scarlet here? ”

“I'm a wizard. ”

Scarlet gives you a grumpy face.

“It's not uncommon for a wizard to be in the Wizard's Guild, right? The Wizard Guild is comfortable. I get paid a lot of money if I'm good and I get my research done. That's why I'm here. Behenger was closest to the mountains of Mesh. ”

Scarlet Leshire. I've only heard of him in my past life. I can't believe that Scarlet Leshire was in Behenger.

‘No. Scarlet was before the Grand Wizard at this point. ’

If you look at the passage of time, you will be able to build a foundation in Behenger and then leave here and become a truly great wizard.

“My body is comfortable, but my mind is not at ease. I haven't been doing a lot of research lately. ”

Scarlet grunts. He laughs in relief. Even if Scarlet feels frustrated because he's not making any progress in his research right now, it's already guaranteed that Scarlet will become the Grand Wizard after all. Unlike Lee, Scarlet eventually becomes the Great Wizard.

“You're going to be great. ”

“You don't even know. More than that. White cow... You didn't come out with that girl? ”

“Yes. Sasha left the mountain a year earlier than I did. ”

“He's a real reader, too. It was almost three years ago, wasn't it? So are you. I just got out of there thinking I'm gonna go crazy in a few more days. ”

“Did you break up with Dobby Jun? ”

“The old man and I broke up as soon as we got to Behenger. I asked if you were going on a trip, and I told you to go alone. ”

Scarlet smiles as he answers.

“Well, whatever. It's good to see someone I know. He's been studying recently and hasn't been able to talk to people very well. I had no one to talk to because my personality was so fucked up in the first place. ”

Again.

“Come and play next time you're free. I'll give you a car. ”

Again.

As he left the Wizard's Guild, he had to feel complex. It's because I was troubled by what Nebbel had to say to make Scarlet's words as simple as friendship. It was also mixed with Kim Jong-hyun's strange reaction.

"What the hell? ’

Your life may not be yours. Words that don't know the meaning are in my head. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It is the life of Lee Sung-min, not anyone else. If it's not Lee Sung-min's, then whose is it?

After stopping by the mercenary guild and reporting to Bern about Kim Jong-hyun, Seong-min returned to her home. I was going to do some creative stuff, but I couldn't concentrate on the creative stuff because my mind was complicated and my head was heavy. Eventually, he put down his window and stuck it in his room and twisted his diaphragm.

I ran a self-organizing ball to get rid of complicated feelings. That didn't work out either. What Kim Jong-hyun said, What Mesh said. Words that don't know the meaning, don't know the reason, come into contact. He said he came back for a reason. There were no coincidences. Weirdly good luck. If it's not a coincidence, what luck did Lee Sung-min see? Relationships with others? Whose life do I think Lee Sung-min's life belongs to right now?

By the time I had barely finished thinking about biting my tail, it was already night. Lee Sung-min raised his body, sighing and pressing down on his temples.

“... I don't need it. ”

Lee Seong-min came out of the mansion screaming. Lee Sung-min, who was standing in a garden full of weeds, grabbed the spear that he had left behind.

I didn't want to care. Such thoughts and worries and doubts do not give Lee Sung-min an answer, nor does anyone else tell him that it is the right answer. Ultimately, it is meaningless doubt and worry. Below, Lee Sung-min gave up thinking about it.

Ignored.

Unsullied are different. Unsullied. Chang, unlike those ambiguous questions, was giving a clear answer to Lee Sung-min. I was relieved. Lee waved his spear for a long time. Ranachal and Gucheon Muchang. I knew that even though someone else didn't tell Lee Lee the answer, the window he was opening was close to the answer.

But it wasn't the complete answer. That's what Lee Sung-min was after. We save the White Sogo, we surpass W. Hoenn. Objectives to be done before, such as those.

When Seong-min put down the window, it was already morning. Lee Sung-min, who was soaked in sweat, felt better than fatigue. After realizing later that he didn't eat any food, Lee Sung-min suddenly smiled.

“That's why you're not so big. ”

Seong-min grumbled and went inside the house.
