97 – 097. Simultaneous Incident (12)

Kang Ha-neul was kidnapped. Maybe even two days ago.

Of course I had to go get it right away. Unfortunately, however, Min Chae-ryeong did not have a single subordinate who could be put into rescuing Kang Ha-neul.

At least Ji Ye-Won was there, but she and Ji Ye-Won couldn’t blindly attack the enemy camp without knowing how many enemies there were.

Then what should I do in this situation?

In a situation where at first glance it seemed there was no way, I was troubled. And the conclusion I came to after much thought was surprisingly simple.

There is no one that Min Chaeryeong can command? If so, wouldn’t it be enough to mobilize my personal network?

“…… She called urgently, but thank you for coming.”

So now.

In the mid-sized sedan (borrowed from Min Chaeryeong) speeding along the highway, sitting in the passenger seat right next to me was Ryu Tae-hyeon, who hurriedly ran to the news of the kidnapping of Kang Ha-neul.

“What? I heard that the sky was kidnapped. Then, of course, you have to run.”

As he said, it was very easy to bring Ryu Tae-hyeon to this job. Ryu Tae-hyun was the main character and hero in the story. There was no way he would give himself up in this situation where his classmate was kidnapped by a group of evil organizations.

“You said you already knew the location of Haneul, right?”

“Yes.”

“Report to the police… ….”

“I didn’t. There are circumstances.”

“I see.”

Ryu Tae-hyeon didn’t ask any more. When I glanced over, Ryu Tae-hyeon smiled and said.

“No. What. It seemed so.”

“Did you think so?”

“Hey, he’s had a lot of work since the beginning of the semester. There are times when I try to drop out and then turn around, and there are times when I am attacked by some assailants.”

“I did.”

“Besides, it’s a little less now, but at the beginning of the semester, you were a little out of touch? I also had a feeling. So, I thought, ah, he must have some kind of secret that he can’t tell others.”

Taehyun Ryu grinned while showing off the main character’s unique keen eye.

‘The sky is out of the way… ….’

In the past, I would have thought it was because of Kang Ha-neul’s personality, but it was different now. Because there was a possibility that Kang Ha-neul was also a possessor like me.

That’s right, I entered the world of a novel, but I can’t get along with the characters hahahahahoho. The dropout commotion at the beginning of the semester is probably in a similar context.

‘Then, did you say that you dropped out and became a streamer to get away from the development of the original story? Should I call this bold or reckless…….’

Well, unlike me, who was possessed by a character that did not even exist, the character she was possessed of was a villain, albeit a minor role. The best way for her to survive would have been to live a quiet life, unconnected with her original characters as much as possible.

It’s all a story about when Kang Ha-neul was really possessed.

“But hyung also gets involved with Ha-neul quite often.”

At that time, Taehyung Ryu said with his chin resting on the window sill of the passenger seat.

“It was my older brother who saved me when I was attacked by a gangster in the first place, and it was my older brother who gave me counseling when I said I was dropping out, and it was my older brother who saved me during the double dungeon, and even now. For some reason, you couldn’t even call the police, and your brother intervened as if it were natural.”

“…… So?”

“Just. I wonder what the hell is going on between the two of you. Could this be it?”

Ryu Tae-hyeon raised his little finger and grinned. I couldn’t help but smile wryly at that mischievous gesture and turn my head awkwardly.

‘What’s your relationship with Kang Ha-neul? ….’

Before meeting Ji Ye-won again, I decided to decide what kind of relationship it was, but in the end, this happened without even deciding.

“So? Are you two dating?”

“No. Not yet.”

“Not yet? That’s soon…….”

“I don’t even know that yet. Well, there are various circumstances.”

“I heard the other day that the two of you went on a date or something? However, there must be circumstances……. Wait, no way.”

Ryu Tae-hyeon looked at me with suspicious eyes. Soon, Ryu Tae-hyun’s unique playful smile was drawn on his lips.

“Popular men are painful. I understand that feeling.”

“…… Are you talking like you know everything?”

“That’s right, you can get an estimate just by looking at it. Aren’t you worried about being confessed to by a few people at the same time?”

“… ….”

Jeonggok…… It wasn’t far, but it was a pretty close reasoning. I thought it was the main character’s sharp eye, but I just thought that it was impossible to infer such a situation without any information.

That means that.

“…… Did you hear anything from the sky?”

“Any story about the girl next door working at the restaurant on the date course and drinking with her brother at her house? Oh, I did listen to dating counseling a few times. He says he’s talking about a friend…… Just looking at it, it’s too obvious that it’s his story.”

“Yes… ….”

I couldn’t be more pleased with those words. It was too complicated in my head. The emotional issue with Kang Ha-neul was complicated, and the situation now that she was kidnapped was also complicated. She was going crazy and freaking out.

“Anyway, hyung. Don’t worry too much.”

Ryu Tae-hyun said to me as I was driving with a furrowed brow.

“Sky will probably be fine. Those who kidnapped Haneul also want something, so didn’t they kidnap Haneul?”

“… ….”

“Besides, who is next to you right now? Number one in the freshman year ranking! A strong candidate for the next quarter’s Class A promotion! Isn’t that Ryu Taehyun? The officers of the Dawning Corps also attacked it, but it’s not even a matter of punishing the kidnappers.”

Ryu Tae-hyeon said playfully with an exaggerated attitude. I could feel his consideration implicitly melted into his behavior. Since I’m making such a serious expression, it must be an attempt to lighten the burden on the mind even a little bit.

“Ryu Tae-hyeon.”

“Yes. Brother.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Kick. I just need to know.”

As I stared at him with my eyes wide open, Ryu Tae-hyun drew a V with his hands and smiled mischievously. I had no choice but to let go of my expression and smile.

“There really is no younger brother like this. It doesn’t. Brother?”

“Yes. There is no brother like you.”

“Really? Then may I say something?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Oh yeah.”

I told him to stop talking, but Ryu Tae-hyun kept his mouth shut. I didn’t have anything to say, so I just focused on driving without saying anything.

A silence that makes the chatter of a moment ago feel like a lie.

However, my mind behind the wheel felt a little more comfortable than before.

***

The road to the factory in Uijeongbu where Kang Ha-neul is held. Middle of it.

Arriving at the meeting point with Ji Ye-Won, I waved at Ji Ye-Won in the distance. As we approached, Ji Ye-won smiled shyly.

“Yewon.”

“Yes.”

“How are you?”

A very awkward question. I wondered if this was the right thing to say in the current situation, but the words came out reflexively.

“You’ve been doing just fine. How about you?”

“Me too…”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you… It’s not like that.”

“……That’s right.”

When we parted, I thought we wouldn’t see each other for a while. But who would have known that we would see each other again in about a week?

Yewon Ji and I were unable to speak to each other due to the awkward reunion. Still, was it that she felt sorry for not being able to meet the girl who was always next door to her? Looking at Ji Ye-won like this, a welcome feeling began to fill up in her heart. Even if the circumstances are circumstances.

“Still, nice to meet you. Seeing your face like this.”

Yewon Ji must have felt the same way as I did, and there was a subtle smile on her lips. Then Ji Ye-won exclaimed, “Ah,” And said as if she had just remembered.

“That’s right. That person also arrived here a while ago.”

At those words, I looked behind Ji Ye-won. The woman who had been staring at the two of us in that gaze slowly approached us.

“Mr. Ahyeon.”

“Yes. Ahn Soo-ho.”

At my bow, Seol Ah-hyun bowed her head and greeted her face.

Black Dragon Guild Master. The black dragon lord, Seol Ah-hyun.

Like Ryu Tae-hyun, she was also a personal connection I called. In fact, in her case, her personal connections weren’t even close to hers, but being able to call her S-rank guild master in the middle of the night was entirely due to the ‘lie’ she had made to her the other day.

Ahyeon Seol is a regressor. And she knows that I am also a regressor from the future.

Then the story is easy. If I just tell her that rescuing Kang Ha-neul is to prevent a terrible accident that will happen in the future, and that it is a very important task, she has no choice but to put everything aside and come to my aid. Besides, it’s not like that statement is a lie, since Na Ju-yong is a villain who constantly appears until the second half of the original work, isn’t blocking his plans the same as preventing a terrible future?

“First of all, it would be better for each of us to say our voices first before moving.”

At my words, the three people who had never met each other busily shifted their gaze. Among them, the first to speak was Ryu Tae-hyun, who is by far the top in affinity.

“Hello sisters! My name is Ryu Tae-hyun, a freshman in the Green House Hunter Department! The superhuman level is B+, and the possessed superpower is body enhancement! Here, Suho hyung and I are close brothers and sisters! He’s also friends with the sky I’m going to rescue! Please take good care of me!”

Ryu Tae-hyun, who shouted rapidly as if a freshman greets his university seniors, bowed his waist 90 degrees and greeted the two. Ji Ye-won and Seol Ah-hyun, embarrassed by his behavior, looked at each other with awkward faces.

“…… Ye-won. I know Ahn Soo-ho personally, and I am familiar with Kang Ha-neul, who was kidnapped. The superhuman level is roughly around C, and the superpower is this.”

Kidduck! A purple blade rose from Ji Ye-won’s palm. Seeing this, Seol Ah-hyun nodded her head and continued.

“I probably don’t need to introduce myself, but since everyone has done it, I’ll do it too. My name is Seol Ah-hyun, the Black Dragon Guild Master. The superhuman level is S. The superpower used is in the future. Personally with Suho Ahn here…… Mmm. A closer relationship? Anyway, we’re good friends.”

Isn’t it? As Seol Ah-hyun asked me, her face looked somewhat awkward. As I fixed her gaze on her, her Seol Ah-hyun’s eyes trembled, and soon after, she turned her head slightly.

For some reason, it seems that the lobe of the ear is slightly red.

“…… Close?”

Meanwhile, Ji Ye-won glared at Seol Ah-hyun and pursed her lips. As if there was something I wanted to ask.

“Then let’s move.”

However, there was no time for us to calmly ask questions about each other. As long as he caught and killed Stephanie, who was disguised as Kang Ha-neul, it wouldn’t be strange if this side noticed it any time.

The four of us headed for Uijeongbu while riding in the sedan I had brought. Toward the warehouse of a textile factory located on the border of a slum, where the river sky is held.

“Ahn Soo-ho. Heo Seong-chan asked me to tell you something when I meet you.”

I was running down a dark road at night. Ji Ye-won, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said to me.

“Come to think of it, you said you met him. Why? What are you saying to me?”

“Uh. He said he would kill me the next time we met.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, I heard a similar story when I fought at Kang Ha-neul’s house. Quite a while…… You didn’t lose, but anyway, you still held a grudge.

Well, I ruptured one eardrum and it’s strange that I don’t hold a grudge.

Recalling the fight with Heo Seong-chan, I called the status window quietly so that others would not hear.

Compared to the time when I fought Heo Seong-chan, there was still some progress. In particular, in the case of agility, thanks to recent training, it has risen by one level, and now it is on the verge of reaching A rank.

It was still lacking in ability compared to the main characters, but somehow it was possible for one person.

In addition to that, if you use various artifacts, including Talisman, it was worth rubbing it close to the A-class level, even for a moment. In fact, he even won a decision victory in a match against mid-winter, which was equivalent to A level.

‘The problem is that I’ve already used up the Morning Star’s breathing stock… ….’

The stock of Morning Star’s breathing is three times a day. And stock recovery standard is midnight. It was just before 10:00 PM, so I had to wait more than two hours to rewrite the morning star’s breath.

The scheduled time to arrive at the factory is around 10:40. In other words, unless the battle is prolonged, you won’t be able to use Morning Star’s breath in this battle.

No matter how much I had Seol Ah-hyun and Ryu Tae-hyun as my allies, the fact that I couldn’t use the artifacts I always used to defeat strong enemies stirred up my anxiety.

“…… Im here.”

In the meantime, our car finally arrived at its destination. To be precise, in an alley about 1km away from the destination.

“Isn’t there still more to go? Why stop here?”

“This is right. I’m going to leave the car here and cross the rooftops to the factory.”

“While crossing the rooftop…… ? Aha, because of the CCTV?”

I nodded at Ji Ye-won’s words. As the saying goes, moving through the roof of the building was to avoid CCTV taking pictures of the road. The idea itself belonged to Min Chaeryeong.

After parking the car in the public parking lot, we headed to the roof of the building we had seen before. Howon-dong, where we are, is located on the border of slums, so the heights of the buildings are generally low and the spaces between them are narrow. If you are a superman, it’s enough to cross over.

“…… This.”

However, no matter how close the buildings are, the main street was an exception.

I was eagerly crossing the roof of the building, but I had no choice but to stop in front of a wide six-lane road. The other three people who had been following me approached behind me.

“Suho. Why are you like that?”

“The width of the road is a bit wider than I thought.”

“Hmm. It’s a bit wide.”

That’s what he said, but it must have been a distance Seol Ah-hyun could easily jump over. And Ryu Tae-hyun is probably the same.

“Ji Ye-won. Do you think you can get over it?”

“As long as there is enough distance to help, it will be close…… Want to do it No, maybe not.”

“Sorry. It’s my fault Just looking at the map, I thought I could jump over it. I guess I’ll have to go back another way…….”

“Gu, there is no need to go back, is there?”

Seol Ah-hyun looked at me and said with a hesitant attitude.

“That, Ryu Tae-hyeon and I? Can’t we just jump over each other holding each other?”

“Is that possible?”

“Yes. Not really, uh, there’s nothing difficult. ….”

Certainly, if you can run this distance while holding a person, there is no need to go back. Seol Ah-hyun said it was possible, so let’s look back at him to see what Ryu Tae-hyun would be like.

“Hmm. I think that will be enough.”

, Taehyung Ryu told me awkwardly. He jokingly said he would talk in the car, but it must have been awkward.

“Good. Then please do me a favor.”

“Yes! Then, I will carry Suho and run…… !”

“Eh? Why?”

As Seol Ah-hyun approached me with her arms wide open, Ji Ye-won quietly interrupted and said,

“Why are you holding Ahn Su-ho? Shouldn’t Ahyeon move me?”

“Yes? No, that’s it Since I’m stronger than Taehyung Ryu, of course I should move someone heavier…… Joe?”

At first glance, it made sense. No, of course it was right. On the surface, Ryu Tae-Hyun seemed to be several times stronger than Seol Ah-Hyun, but Seol Ah-Hyeon would of course be far ahead in actual strength.

“…… Mmm. Yes, but between men and women……. Ugh, ugh.”

However, Ji Ye-won did not like Seol Ah-hyun’s words. He knew that Seol Ah-hyeon was right, so he couldn’t refute anything, but his lips twitched and he made a dissatisfied expression.

‘…… Could it be that she doesn’t like me touching Seol Ah-hyun?’

I wondered if she was just blaming her for that reason, but other than that, there seemed to be no reason for her to be dissatisfied with Seol Ah-hyun’s decision.

No, no matter how it is, you’re arguing about that in this urgent situation??

“…… What. That’s not wrong. I can’t help it. Then Ahyeon will move Suho.”

In the end, Ji Ye-won said that in a weak voice as if she had given up. On the other hand, Seol Ah-hyun clenched his fists with an ambiguous expression, whether it was a smile or embarrassment.

But at that moment.

“A. Wouldn’t it be better for the man to move the man and the woman to move the woman? I will move Suho hyung.”

“Eh?”

“Yes?”

“You can jump over this distance even holding a 200kg barbell on your back. Brother. Let’s go.”

“Huh? Uhh…….”

Ryu Tae-hyeon, confidently carrying me on his back, stepped back about four or five steps from the railing, then kicked off the roof and jumped up.

-Tong! Toong!

From nob le mt l dot com

Light jump. And light landings.

Taehyun Ryu lightly jumped across the wide street of the six-lane road as if he were literally halfway flying. Even with me on my back.

After getting off Ryu Tae-hyeon’s back and looking at the rooftop on the other side, Seol Ah-hyun and Ji Ye-won were staring at this side with their mouths open with dumbfounded faces. Soon, Seol Ah-hyun pouted her lips in regret, and Ji Ye-won clenched her fists as if she was thrilled to see such Seol Ah-hyun.

Taehyun Ryu, who was watching the two of them, quietly whispered in his ear.

“Brother. Did I do well?”

“…… Uh. Good job.”

“Hyung is also having a hard time. In many ways.”

Taehyun Ryu’s expression when he said that looked somewhat pitiful, but on the other hand, it seemed that he was feeling sympathy for me.
