Humanity was defeated.

Of course, it did not mean complete defeat. It is appropriate to say that you are temporarily at a truce.

It was literally a temporary truce. I don't know why the fiends in the angelic robes slowly diminished, but those beyond the north are silently guarding their positions.

The Continental Protection Commission publicly announced that our persistent resistance defended the continent for soldiers' fraud, but everyone knew that the announcement was not true.

The Vice Guild Master is missing and the Guild Master has fallen down and died.

I didn't see it myself, but I was able to infer how miserable the last appearance of the guild master was from the reaction of the other guild members.

The guild's atmosphere was dark and was surrounded by strange emotions that were hard to say.

This was also a secret to some guild members. Knowing the facts is you and Deputy Guild Master Jo Hye-jin. Kim Mi-young, Chang Rae, Ah-young, and Park Ri An were all together.

It is roughly expected why not inform all guild members.

I had doubts about whether I was intertwined with those who shared this secret, but I thought it might be because I was short-handed.

It was a short battle, but I could see that everyone was accumulating fatigue at a glance. What more can I say?

I want to borrow the hands of an unreliable new guild member.

What was especially serious was Jeongyan's side.

‘Fair enough. ’

The entire North has kept its magic occupied for days.

It is said to have boundless magical power and superhuman magical recovery that ordinary people do not understand, but it is natural to experience exhaustion.

I have also experienced a spell exhaustion phenomenon.

It was an unimaginable loss, helplessness, self-destructive pain, and an experience I never wanted to experience again.

I feel like I'm constantly experiencing that phenomenon and my body is shaking unconsciously.

“Queek…. ”

“I'm fine. So you don't have to worry. ”

“King! King! ”

“You think I should go now? Yeah, that's right. I have a lot of work to do today. Jeongyan will be waiting for you. ”

I move my feet with trembling mind. It was a quest given to myself, a new guild member, to keep checking and taking care of Jungyan's condition that was stuck in the room.

I had already been there a few times, but I thought I had to be nervous. When I joined the guild for the first time, I was the kind person who welcomed me....

‘There's no need to be afraid. ’

You must be mentally challenged.

A little nervous and knocking, you hear a voice like scratching a chalkboard with your fingernails.

“ ……. ”

“Oh, oh, brother? ”

“Yes... yes... Oh, no. Jeongyan, it's the Alps. ”

I'm afraid to look straight ahead.

After a slight silence, your hands creep out from under the door. A hand that has been stripped of moisture to the point of thinking it might be a mummy.

It was one of the phenomena that occurs when you experience a near limit of empowerment.

“Wait, can I come in for a minute? ”

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

“Well, what do I do? Oh... yeah. Al, I get it, it's conch. Yeah, guys, come on in. Careful. Come in carefully. Don't step on the conch. ”

“Yes.”

When I slowly opened the door, the first thing I saw was Hanzora, who was stiff as a tree.

I've seen it before, but it's a terrible sight.

I can't really see Jeongyan standing next to him.

He was wearing a hood covering his entire body, so there's no way to be sure.

One thing is for sure, it didn't seem normal. It seemed hard to even breathe.

I felt like my hair had fallen off or turned white and had fallen to the ground and my body was smaller than before. He even bent at the waist.

“Ma, Ma, did you bring the Magic Recovery Potion? ”

“No. The Vice Guild Master said you should only drink a bottle of Magic Recovery Potion per day. If you eat too much, it's bad for your health. You had a bottle this morning. Right now... I have a few things to tidy up and take care of for you. ”

“Hey, you're here. ”

“Jeongyan is very tired... I told him. He's still sleeping. ”

“Y-yeah? Thank goodness."

“Can you take the white one... first? ”

“ ……. ”

The white man's position next to Jeongyan's was sparkling.

‘It'll help. ’

It was thought that restoring stamina and restoring horsepower would definitely help, as well as its psychological stability.

I knew the closer the distance, the more helpful it would be, but Jungyan didn't seem to be responding.

Are you gonna be okay?

He waves his tail desperately, and then I see him slowly reaching his hand over his head.

“Oh, oh, what are you doing? ”

“Still. You're very busy... Yes. You're tired of meetings... Yes. ”

“Th-that's right... When will the war begin again? ”

“It's confidential," he said. I know you said you were going to start again soon... But they're thinking of other ways... They're also considering a preemptive strike. Jeongyan said it would be best to rest easy without caring about anything else. That's the most important thing... ”

“Ugh... Yes. I should probably get some rest, though. ”

“You two have a good relationship. ”

“Th-that... right? ”

“Yes. I can tell by the way Sora looks at Jeongyan. It still is.”

“Really?"

“Yes.”

“Oh, thank God. Hehe.”

“I have friends like that back home. ”

“Oh... yeah? ”

“Yes. We're living far away now, but we used to stick together. They're like sisters. They fought a lot, they hurt each other a lot, but they're very old friends. When I look at Jeongyan and Hanzora, I remember them too. Oh, you should eat. ”

“I don't want to eat, eat, eat.... ”

“You still have to eat. You said you should have some too. ”

“Ah... Ugh... Ugh. Yeah, we should eat something. ”

“ ……. ”

“How's the bar, the bar, the outside? ”

“The fog you put on the Fog Summoner is making it hard for the demons to get close. I haven't been told exactly what's going on. Do you want me to ask him? Oh, the mercenary queen woke up yesterday. I thought the wound was too big for her, but she said she could move quickly. I don't think Park Deok-gu is hurt much in this Sujeongjeon... It's the same as before. ”

“Th-that's good. ”

“Yes. The damage was minor... there was a collapse... but the demons didn't cross the line as a result, so I'm guessing the first battle won." Maybe even demons are hard to get to. So you need to rest assured and focus on restoring your condition. ”

“Ugh, yeah... Cow, I think I'm too tired..." ”

“Yes, I heard that. Everyone is worried about Jeongyan's health. I hope Jeongyan is well, too. ”

“Thank you... ”

“I think white people say that, too. ”

“King!”

“Ugh... Yes. Thank you."

‘You seem to be doing a lot better. ’

I had no choice but to think that the last few days of effort were a shining moment. At first, he was so focused that he couldn't carry on the conversation.

I don't know how hard it has been to stop trying to go to war. It's a big harvest just to have a normal conversation like this.

While I was constantly watching the mess room and eating, I noticed a nodding face as I talked constantly.

It was not difficult to find the topic of the conversation Jeongyan spoke to me without saying anything first.

“Well, well, well, well, we decided to move in together. Oh... You said you were fine. ”

“That's impressive.”

“Ugh... Yes. I 'm-I 'm sorry... Cow, cow, and conch insisted on it... ”

“If that's the case, please invite me. ”

“Yes. Invite... me. Same, same guild member. ”

“I'm really glad you said that. ”

“King!”

Soon after that, Jungyan, who was stuffy, started to see it.

It was still the middle of the day, but not weird at all. Your body is demanding sleep to recover. Rather, it was natural.

“Do you want to sleep?”

“Hmmm... ”

“Can I make you a bed? ”

“N-no, I want to s-sleep here. ”

“Then I'll just cover you with a blanket. ”

“Ugh... Yes. ”

“ ……. ”

After covering Jeong Yan's body with a blanket, hoping to sleep halfway into the tree, I began to look carefully outward.

I also saw a white man moving his body. After you stroke your head a little....

‘Jo Hye-jin. ’

“Should I report it? ”

“King.”

When I knocked on the door of the office not far away, I heard a voice saying, "Wait a minute."

Soon after, the door opened wide. Seeing that the window was open, it seemed like there was a guest who came first.

Of course, I thought it was none of my business. It's not something you should care about. That wasn't my area.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

Normal and unchanging. I can see her always tying her head together.

After noticing that this side was nervous, he smiled a little bit and immediately opened his mouth.

It was a thoughtful and gentle voice.

“What do you think?”

“You seem to have recovered a lot. You don't seem to have regained your magical strength yet... but you seem to be much more stable than before... Yes. Let me conclude, you don't have to worry anymore. Your Magic Recovery Speed is very fast, so you should be able to recover in no time... Especially since you've stabilized a lot. ”

“Well done.”

“No. It's... the least I can do... ”

“Not everyone can do it. You don't have to lower yourself like that. You are a capable person. ”

“Oh... yes. ”

“Today's schedule is…. ”

“Yes.”

It was unshakeable.

‘Are you okay? ’

He was like a spear. A person who was faithful and unbroken, Jo Hye-jin who had seen from afar was like that.

‘Are you... are you sure you're okay? ’

Remaining calm is amazing. You can see the pressure that is pressuring you and not trying to connect your emotions to work.

It seemed to make sense why the Blue Guild, which is the center of the continent, was also sitting at an important point....

It seemed like it would collapse easily for some reason. Extremely, he looks worse than Jeongyan.

‘I need help. ’

I couldn't figure out how to help, so I felt frustrated.

“Of course.”

“Yes, I will report anything unusual again. ”

“Yes.”

Even after the doors of the office are closed, I don't feel comfortable walking away.

Time is running out.

Inside, you hear a continuous whimpering sound.

More like a crier.

It was a voice that felt so terrifying.
