Episode 40

When Jung-min opened the door, he saw Jun-ki and Jun-hee.

“You came quickly. Come on in”

Jung-min led Jun-ki and Jun-hee into the room.

Junhee sat down on the bed and spoke to Jungmin.

“brother! How can you throw away your wife, Jo Kang, and have an affair with another bitch? who is this? Who lives where!”

“Don’t be silly, wait. I will introduce you.”

“Oh, are you here? where? Did you go to the bathroom?”

“I am washing now”

“Oh come~ Our Jungmin oppa has grown up a lot, right? I wondered where he would marry, but he brought a woman from somewhere and said ‘I’m washing’. Kyaa~”

Jungmin shook his head and said.

“Did you bring the clothes and…? Did you hear about Junki?”

Junhee nodded at Jungmin’s question.

“Yeah, it’s not a lot, but I took a rough look. But is it right…”

“Looks like the two of them have the same body type, so they should fit roughly.”

“I brought new underwear. But I’m not sure if the size is right. Unlike my appearance, I’m quite-“

“Your character is back now? You’ve been quiet all this while.”

“Now you have fully adapted to life in this shelter. In the meantime, the me who was downcast because of this and that was not me. From now on, the real Junhee-”

While Junhee was talking, the bathroom door opened and Leah walked out after taking a shower.

“Oh my, you are pretty”

Joon-hee went up to Leah and grabbed her hand.

“sister? sister right? hello. My name is Jun-hee, the younger brother of Jun-gi. Park Joon-hee. Your sister is really very pretty. Where did you become an actor? Oh my, look at the nice skin. Why is such a pretty unnie with such a Jungmin oppa? ”

Seeing Junhee approaching her and chattering about something, Leah called out to Jungmin with a bewildered look.

“Me, Jeongmin?”

“Oh, I’m sorry Leah. He’s a bit of a crazy kid…”

“Oh, no. It’s just that I can’t understand it… should I use mental linking?”

“yes? Sister, don’t you know Korean? This is the first time I’ve heard of it, which country are you talking about? well, it’s okay You just have to learn Korean step by step. But how do you talk to Jeongmin oppa?”

“Junhee, Junhee. wait for a while”

After Jung-min calmed Jun-hee down, he told Leah.

“How many people can use the Mind Link skill? If it’s possible for the majority, I think it’ll be fine if the two of us here connect too. I’ll see you more often in the future.”

“Okay, then I’ll connect you. Up to 5 people can connect. It’s not a skill I used often, so my level is low…”

Leah started muttering something softly.

A white light arose from Leah’s head and extended like a line, touching Junki’s head and disappearing.

Junhee said in surprise.

“Mom! What’s this?”

“hello. My name is Leah. Can you understand me?”

“Oh my sister! Did you know how to speak Korean?”

“It wasn’t that I came to speak Korean, it was that I used a skill that connects the mind. Even if we speak in our own language, we should be able to understand each other.”

Junhee was very curious and started talking about this and that to Leah.

Leah also had a conversation with Junhee while enjoying herself, perhaps because it had been a long time since she had met a girl of a similar age.

As I was watching the two of them happily, Jun-hee shouted at Jung-min.

“Now, brothers, go out. Let Leah change her clothes.”

“Ah.. that’s right. There is not enough space to change clothes. Joon-gi and I will be out, so change comfortably. Leah, I’ll be out for a while.”

“Yes, Mr. Jeongmin.”

After leaving Leah and Junhee in the room, Jungmin and Junki came out.

As soon as he came out the door, Junki let out a long sigh and said.

“Whoa.. Hey, do you know that this is the first time I’ve been here?”

“Ah, was it? Why were you so quiet?”

“You have to be able to keep up with that nerd’s tension. Right after moving into the shelter, I was a little depressed and kept quiet, but now I’m used to it, so I went back to the old days. Why are there so many words and the tension is so high… Whoa.”

“What’s better than hanging down?”

Junki shook his head and said to Jungmin.

“That’s true, but… uhh. Anyway, what happened? Why did you bring Leah? how did you bring it Did you register at the base gate I mentioned before? What about the [Trial of the Gods] that takes place in Leah-san’s world?”

“You’re crazy too. First of all, let’s talk for a long time. I’ll have to go in soon, so I’ll tell you later when Junhee isn’t there. Anyway, let me ask you one thing.”

“yes? What?”

“What do you think [trial of the gods] is?”

Jung-min’s question made Jun-ki’s expression strange.

“Well? why all of a sudden Could it be that it is literally an ordeal from God? There are a lot of things like that in old comic books. ‘God who punishes humans who have become arrogant due to the development of science and technology’. I mean something like this. Punishing humans, reducing the number of people, and giving blessings to people who overcome trials by working together… I wonder if it’s something like that?”

“Well, I thought that way too, but I guess it’s not like that.”

“then? Do you know something?”

Jeongmin shook his head.

“I don’t know for sure right now. so to find out I want to go to Japan”

“japan?? Why Japan?”

“I’m not sure, but if you go there, you might find the information you want.”

“How are you going to get to Japan? Can I go by helicopter? But can we fly from here to Japan by helicopter?”

Jeongmin shrugged and lowered his shoulders.

“Well, that’s human resources.. no, the shelter chief decided to look into it. Anyway, I think I’ll be away for a while. Even if you come to the shelter from time to time, it’s probably just a short stop in this room. So don’t look for me and work on destroying the gate.”

“It will be fine even if you don’t do it. don’t worry”

Jungmin smiled and opened his inventory and took out a sword.

“Do you have the sword I gave you before? Give it back and use this. It’s the equipment I used, and it’s pretty useful. I got permission from Leah, so there’s no need to use what I picked up from other inventory.”

Junki’s eyes widened and he handed over the sword.

I opened the status window with the sword in my hand, but I was surprised and said to Jung-min.

“Ugh. what’s this. Why are the increased stats so high?! Do you have any skills? What is this item…”

“It’s called [Rounan’s sword]. I want to give you armor too, but if you use it on the battlefield, you’ll be a complete target, so I’m just giving you a sword.”

“Wow, that’s absolutely amazing. Now here’s the sword I got before. I used this very well, but it’s a japtem compared to what I got now. Anyway, thank you. I will write well”

Joon-gi happily put the sword into his inventory.

While Jun-gi was enjoying himself, the door opened and Jun-hee poked his head out.

“It’s done. You can come in now”

Jung-min and Jun-gi entered the room.

And there, I was able to meet Leah wearing a mint-colored training suit.

Junhee said in a proud voice.

“Because I like models, I have a taste of trying things on. I thought I was changing doll clothes. What is it? I’ll leave this and that, so take turns wearing them, unni.”

“Thank you Junhee.”

Junhee and Leah were talking comfortably, as if they had become friends.

Leah said to Jung-min with a slight blush on her face.

“It is a very comfortable outfit. Isn’t that what everyday clothes are like here? How is it?”

Jung-min stared blankly at Leah for a while, then suddenly came to his senses and said.

“Ah.. Yes, it suits you well. yes, it is pretty”

“Yes?”

When Leah smiled brightly, Jung-min scratched his head shyly.

Junhee, who was looking at him, grabbed Junki and said.

“Oooh, I can’t stay here any longer. Wake up oppa, don’t keep sitting there without notice. You don’t have a girlfriend because you’re so ignorant.”

“You are..”

“Leah unnie, Jungmin oppa. We’ll just let it go. Have a good time and see you again~”

Joon-hee opened the door and went out, almost dragging Jun-gi.

When Junhee, who had been chattering wildly, left, the room immediately became quiet.

Jung-min spoke to Leah to evoke the awkward atmosphere.

“Aren’t you hungry? I didn’t eat anything right today… Shall we go to a restaurant? At this time, it might still be open.”

Leah shook her head and said.

“I don’t think much of it. Aren’t you hungry, Jeongmin? ”

“Neither do I.. Then, let’s have a quick bite and rest.”

The two had a snack with the snacks they took out of Jung-min’s inventory.

Tidying up the table, Jung-min said.

“Perhaps tomorrow you will be able to hear from the shelter manager how to go to Japan. Then, let’s go to Japan and investigate the person with black wings and white eyes.”

Hearing Jungmin’s words, Leah nodded.

“okay. Then, let’s get ready for tomorrow.. I thought I’d rest for today. I haven’t done much, but I’m tired.”

“Yes, Ms. Leah can sleep on the bed here. I’ll go into the inventory and go to sleep.”

“Inventory? It’s full of all sorts of stuff, so there’s no space, right?”

“If you push it to one side, you should be able to make room. You can put a mattress on it and sleep. I guess it happened often.”

Leah listened to Jeongmin’s words and shook her head.

“I hope you don’t do that. When Jung-min does that, I don’t feel comfortable. Can’t we just sleep in this room together? I will sleep on the floor, so let Jung-min sleep on the bed.”

“That’s not okay. Um… Then I’ll make you sleep on the floor. Let Leah rest in bed.”

Leah smiled at Jeongmin’s words.

“Then let’s do it.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Both were well prepared.

Jung-min, who had a mattress on the floor, looked at Leah, who was sitting on the bed, and said.

“Then I’ll turn off the lights. You will be very tired. Let me get some rest”

“Yes, Jung-min, sleep well too.”

Jungmin turned off the light and lay down.

As Jung-min lay on the mattress and gazed at the ceiling, thoughts ran through his mind.

‘Ah… I can’t sleep. I think it’s wrong to go to bed early.’

Jeong-min couldn’t sleep at all when he thought that Leah was sleeping on the bed next to him.

After not being able to sleep for a long time, Jung-min heard a small sob in his ears.

‘…Miss Leah?’

Jung-min got up from his seat and spoke softly to Leah, who was lying on the bed.

“Lea, are you okay?”

When Jung-min got up and said, Leah said in embarrassment.

“Jung-Jung-Min, didn’t you sleep? Mi, I’m sorry. As I was lying down, I thought of this and that… I’m sorry..”

Jeongmin looked at Leah quietly and thought.

‘Only yesterday I learned that [Trial of the Gods] was a deception, and today I confirmed that Elan was destroyed. It seemed so calm, so I thought it would be okay. It can’t be okay.’

Jung-min rebuked himself for being insensitive, sat down next to the bed and patted Leah on the back.

“I will stay by your side until you fall asleep. Don’t think about anything else, just rest. Got it?”

Leah looked at Jeongmin quietly and nodded.

Jung-min continued to pat Leah until she fell asleep.

Some time passed, and when Leah let out the sound of even breathing, Jung-min got off the bed and lay down.

Sensing Leah’s presence, Jung-min couldn’t sleep for a long time.

“Are you having a hard time?”

Leah and Jung-min are sitting opposite Jo-won on the sofa in the shelter manager’s room.

Jeong-min expressed disapproval at Jo-won’s statement that going to Japan was difficult.

Joey nodded and said.

“I’ve talked with [Phu Kang], but it doesn’t seem like it will be easy. First of all, the helicopter we are using is not a type that can travel such a long distance. The same goes for [Ju Kang]. I thought about flights, but there are maintenance problems, and even if it is possible to fly, it is a reality that I cannot guarantee a safe landing because I do not know the situation in Japan. The only thing left is to use a boat to cross the sea…”

Jo Won, who took a sip of water and quenched his thirst, continued talking again.

“For now, we are still trying to connect with the shelter on the Busan side. I was wondering if I could offer a price and at least look for a ship. But I can’t get the connection to work. Why are you so busy?”

“Hmm.. Well, there must be a lot going on in Busan as well as here. Actually, it wasn’t that long ago that I was crazy here, right? Because of [Phugang]…”

Joey nodded.

“So that might be it. Anyway, right now, there is no clear way. sorry.”

“Ah, that’s as far as I’m sorry. there’s nothing we can do. I will try my own way.”

“Have you got anything in mind?”

“Well… I don’t know if it will work, but I have to try. If you succeed, you will be able to travel to and from Japan really easily and simply.”

“How?”

At Jo Won’s question, Jung Min smiled and said,

“It’s a trade secret.”
