Possessing Nothing

“You're... amazing...”

The dying voice. Wijiho-yeon looked down at it with a expressionless face. A monster, not a human, is looking up at Ji Ho-yeon. Both arms were deformed and the lower torso did not exist at all.

It was strong. Wyji Hoyen admitted it with a grave face. In the nine years that W. Hoenn has lived in Eria, there has never been a match that has made W. Hoenn more difficult than that dying monster. That nameless monster had a catastrophic power, and it had already surpassed his father's thousand years ago, and I had to face him with all my heart and with all my might.

“Immortals... I didn't think this would happen to mortals living for a short time...”

“You were strong. ”

Wijhoyen mutters. She feels a little fatigue and wipes off the sweat flowing on her forehead. Even though he was strong, it was sweat, not blood, but a little fatigue, not pain, that caused him to spill through a long battle.

The creature chuckles, knowing him.

“I can see it. ”

The monster rolls its eyes back. The eyes that had shed red flashes were now staring at W. Hoyen with endless depth.

“Your destiny. I see a fate born of the king who will be mortal and inhuman, but will reign beyond him. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“A genius can be a genius. Your natural gifts have twisted even your destiny... Haha! That's why I can't handle one human being. This is why I have to accept it. I'm just a ghost tied up here after all... Here. Harvest it. It would be an honor to harvest it from you. ”

Hearing that, Ji Ho-yeon raised her hand. A huge force rises from her hands. The monster accepted his death with a humble heart. Death blooms without a sound. The creature that existed at the end of the dungeon became a fog, and it drifted into the air and infiltrated Wijihoen. Wijiho-yeon stood tall and was conscious of the power that was in her body. It was a mass of unwilled power, and was naturally entrusted to the flow of the astrophysicist of W. Hoenn to become part of her power.

Ji Ho-yeon moved forward. In front of the creature, there is a giant door. Ji Ho-yeon reached out her hand. A Black Dragon Cannon flies forward to open the door instead.

Inside the door is a mountain of gold and silver. The sheep were large enough to live in an entire city. W. Hoyen opened the subspace pocket tied to his waist. The vast treasures of gold have all been dragged into the sub-space pockets of Wiji Hoyen. Soon she arrives at the end of the treasure vault. A black cloth floats over the air. When she reached out to him, the cloth that was flinching approached her. Soon, it covered her whole body and became a garment that stuck. I definitely wore clothes, but I didn't think I was wearing them. I realized that Wijihoyen was the best reward for this dungeon.

“That was pretty fun. ”

He said so, raising his hand. The hand that went through the air touched Ji Ho-yeon's chest.

“I've never been in a dungeon before. It was more fun than hard. The last one was very strong. Maybe if it was me, I wouldn't be able to win. ”

Do you really think so?

“I'm not an idiot. To some degree, I understand what this dungeon looks like. I met you... instead of you using a nine-thousandth pole, which looks just like you. You were an interesting opponent. He was an artisan I taught him, but there were many surprises when I faced him in person. It was a well-crafted artillery. ”

Lee Sung-min did not answer.

He leaned against the broken window and looked at Wiji Hoyen's back. He kept his mouth shut, but Wijihoen knew it was Lee who stood behind him.

“Are you here for this dungeon, too? But it's a little late. I'm the one who defeated the last monster in this dungeon. ”

Wijiho-yeon smiled and said. So I have no intention of conceding. The target for this dungeon was Wijihoyen. Everything here got drunk.

“But there's nothing you can't give me if you ask me to. We're friends, aren't we? ”

“… No. You don't have to give it to me. ”

“Now you're talking. ”

Ji Ho-yeon laughed loudly. She turned around and looked at him. Ji Ho-yeon didn't get a scratch, but she wasn't Lee. Sung-min swept his hair wet with blood and sweat.

“… I don't know what to say. I was thinking.”

“Haha! Idiot. It's been nine years. It's been nine years. You haven't thought about what you're going to say to me in nine years? ”

“I... thought about it. ”

Just because we think about it doesn't mean that we can talk right away. Ji Ho-yeon smiled and stared at Sung-min.

“Who did you meet? ”

“… you. ”

“It's me. Yeah. I thought so. I heard some pretty loud noises back there. But you survived. You must have defeated me. ”

“It was hard. I almost died a few times. ”

“But they didn't. Nine years... I think it meant a lot to each other. What about you?”

“It meant a lot. I've been through a lot. ”

“You've become strong. ”

“I'm not satisfied. ”

Lee Sung-min replies. He looks down at the broken window. It reminds me of when I fought the Doppelgänger of W. Hoenn. I couldn't have won without the help of a fool. Distracted help. I was able to reproduce the deadliness I had achieved in the psychic world because of the aid I had.

“Why?”

“Because you're stronger than me. ”

“Haha! You're greedy, too, I see. Are you aiming to become stronger than me? ”

“For now.”

“Now... Could it change? ”

“It's a big world. ”

“It's a good thing. Definitely not nine years ago. You didn't have the right goal back then. He was aiming only at life, and he didn't think he was going to live something great even though he had come back from death. ”

“I hated it. ”

“Is that why you changed? ”

“I think it's changing. ”

“Looks like they're still here. ”

Ji Ho-yeon smiled. After turning completely, she came to Lee Sung-min with a loud voice. Lee Sung-min didn't say anything while looking at the approaching face of Ji Ho-yeon. I have so much to say. I wanted to say more... than this. But not now. Not yet. Lee Sung-min is not yet equal to Wei Ji Ho-yeon, and has not been able to tell her about her accomplishments proudly.

Lee Sung-min thought it was' no ’. I've never felt like this before. I wanted to show it to Saxogo. How strong the "me" has become compared to the one on the mountain of the Mesh. I couldn't show it all to the Saxogo as a result. But I was satisfied. I prevented the death of the Saxony.

Then what about Wijiho-yeon?

‘Not yet. ’

To be honest, it was something like this. When I showed Ji Ho-yeon all of it. I'm afraid of how Ji Ho-yeon will react. It's not just a compliment. I wanted to be recognized. Ji Ho-yeon said that she was a friend of Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min also thought of Wei Ji Ho-yeon as a friend.

That's why it wasn't now. Not yet. Because we're friends, so... I wanted to be equal. In order to stand in that position, we must not remain ashamed of Ji Ho-yeon. It should be acknowledged by Wiji Hoyen.

“Is there still a year left until the promised day? ”

“Yes.”

“I remember the meeting place. I've been thinking... about the date. When I met you again. What would I look like? What should I talk to you about? What you've become, what you're going to say to me. ”

“… you've changed a lot. ”

“So are you. Oh, right. I wanted to ask you this when I had the chance. How's my boob? ”

“What?"

It was the same as nine years ago. Ji Ho-yeon asked a strange story. Lee Sung-min tilted his head because he didn't understand what he was saying. Suddenly, Ji Ho-yeon came to the front of her nose and put her hands on her chest.

“I don't think it's much bigger than it used to be. How do you like it? Would you prefer a little bigger? ”

“... Uh... Is my answer important? ”

“I like you better when you're smart. ”

“I don't think it matters...”

“Yeah? Well, that's a relief. I've been thinking a lot about eating airsickness. Oh, don't you know what you are? I heard your breasts will definitely get bigger if you keep taking them. There are no side-effects, but I think there would be a lot of discomfort if I raised my breasts...”

“I don't think we need to do that. ”

Seriously, Lee didn't care whether his heart was big or not. What does it matter what breast size is? After hearing Lee Sung-min's answer, Wei Ji Ho-yeon smiled.

“Will you come with me? ”

Wei Ji-ho-yeon asked. In that question, Lee Sung-min's face was slightly stiff.

“There are many who follow me and follow me. They're annoying. They're doing things I didn't ask them to do, treating me with their own expectations. I... I don't like it. ”

Reminds me of the death of a Poisonous Eagle Sword. With the shout of the Iron Throne, who came at him without knowing it was the Doppelgänger of W. Hoenn.

“I don't like being expected of others. Even when I was at the church. It's disgusting how they expect me to do it, whether they are conscious or unconscious. ”

“I wouldn't be any different. ”

“I know. I know I'm not making any sense. After all, being a person is about setting expectations for someone else. But... it's okay for you to expect me. I'm counting on you, too. ”

Hwijiho-yeon said so, sparkling his eyes. His eyes were the same as the ones I saw in Genevis nine years ago. It seems not, but it has a playful eye.

“I think it would be fun to hang out with you. I've done a lot, but I think I can do a lot more with you. Yeah, I get the feeling. It will be. ”

“... I'm sorry. ”

Lee Sung-min replied after a brief silence.

“Not yet, I can't. ”

“Do you not want to be with me? ”

“No, that's not it. It's just... yeah. I'm not satisfied with myself. ”

“I'm greedy. ”

When Ji Ho-yeon heard Lee's answer, she did not recommend it anymore. She chuckles and reaches out and puts her hand on her shoulder.

“I like you enough as you are now. You're stronger than I thought. ”

“I'm not satisfied with myself. I can do more. We've seen farther, so we can move on. ”

“Haha!”

Lee Hyo-yeon laughed loudly at what Lee said. She couldn't understand all of Lee Sung-min's words, but she could feel his strong determination. That made him happy. At least nine years ago, Lee Sung-min couldn't say that. Yeah, it's gonna change. Ji Ho-yeon laughed as she looked closely at the changed Lee Sung-min.

“Then let's see each other again in a year. ”

Where I promised, Weijihoyeon added.

“I'm going to keep going forward. As you can go further, so can I. I assure you, in a year's time, I will be far superior and stronger than I am today. And I'm sure he's more noticeable than I am now. I've seen you here now. ”

Ji Ho-yeon said so, and lowered her hand on Sung-min's shoulder. She slowly passed through the rational mind. Lee Seong-min turned around to pass along the word of escort.

“See you in a year. ”

“Yes."

Ji Ho-yeon smiled brightly after listening to Lee Sung-min. The smile was invisible to Lee Sung-min. I didn't want to show it. Wijiho-yeon enjoyed the subtle vibration of her heart, which reminded me of 9 years ago. When I was first summoned in front of the fountain of Genevis. I don't know what it was, but I felt it standing there. It was a coincidence, and Wijihoyeon liked it. A friend of my own age, for the first time. Even so, Wijihoyeon had many fragrances in her short life in Genabis.

‘I'm greedy. But I will. ’

He thought, holding his hand down and smoking.

I felt like I wanted to take her by force. But hang in there, 'cause you might get hated. I wanted to respect the will of one and only friend. I still have so much to say. There are too many conversations I want to have. But it's not a good place. The time has not yet come.

Let's talk more in a year. We eat together, we drink together. Let's talk about everything openly.

‘And then I couldn't say this. ’

As he stepped out the door, Ji Ho-yeon thought later.

‘I missed you. ’

The words are also in my heart.

One year won't be that long.
