Chapter 065 Between bystanders and meddling

A joint memorial park was built in Paju to honor those who were sacrificed when the gate was first opened.

My parents are also here.

It was exactly 6 years ago on this day.

That’s why we come at sunset time.

On this day, I hated seeing the place crowded with people with the same pain.

I think I’ll miss them even more when I see them.

“mom and dad. I’m here. Same with Seojun. Did you and your aunt get along well? We stay healthy like this. We now have a lot of family members.”

The small glass box contained the memories of the two families intact.

Min-young stood in front of him and chatted for a long time while I waited silently in the back.

I don’t believe in God, but I know there is a God.

At one point, I wondered why this had to happen.

But I couldn’t hear the answer.

I told Gillian after the return, but what if I had gone earlier?

As Onin said, if Minyoung and I are hopeful, shouldn’t we have returned to the time before the gate opened in the first place?

From noble mtl dot com

No, wouldn’t it be better to block the gate from opening in the first place?

Those questions were the reason I denied God.

Most people who don’t believe in God probably do.

It’s not that I don’t believe in God, it’s that I hate or deny God.

God definitely exists.

Because there are so many things in this world that cannot be explained otherwise.

But, God stands by.

All pain, sorrow, and suffering is a yoke that human beings must bear.

If it’s the world they created, you have to overcome them all and endure until you call them.

it’s better not to have

[You won’t be able to use your holy power voluntarily even if you die.]

‘To me, divine power is just a means to counter the demons. I sincerely don’t even want it.’

If the hypocrisy of loving while inflicting pain is the divine law of love, then this side really refuses.

Love is two-way, not one-way.

[So love always crashes and breaks and then becomes two or one.]

‘You’re a lizard philosopher.’

[You’re picky.]

‘It’s my parents’ anniversary. Need more explanation?’

[Sorry for not agreeing. I am a dragon.]

‘Do dragons have no families?’

[there is. It’s just that they live that long and think differently about death than humans do. We will never understand you. Conversely, you will not understand us either.]

‘But you saved me, didn’t you? Wasn’t that out of sympathy?’

always wondered

Even when we met for the first time after returning, Giliant cleverly did not tell us why.

[At that time, you didn’t understand what I was saying. It didn’t save you. I just turned the time around for my work.]

‘what?’

[I said it back then, but you were the only one who had full memories in the turn of time. And that’s not my will.]

Was it like that?

I thought Gilliant drew me in while he was regressing, but it wasn’t.

The magic that Gilliant did was to reverse the entire time.

[As I said before, it is one of the privileges of our race, and it is a magic that cannot be used recklessly.]

‘I wrote it anyway?’

[Yes, even if the world is twisted, I had to complete my mission.]

‘Is that to stop the demons?’

[It will be organized like that.]

‘But did I return there with all my memories? Contrary to your intentions?’

[yes. It is highly likely that another being intervened in that part.]

‘You mean that other being brought me back with my memories and made you reincarnate next to me?’

[Now, I understand correctly.]

‘What is the possibility that that being is a god?’

[There is a possibility.]

‘You mean it might not be?’

[It is magic with many variables. That’s why it’s tricky and requires permission.]

‘allow?’

That was the first time I’d heard of it.

Do you have permission? to whom? god?

[Hmm, let’s just say ‘time manager’.]

“Seojun, what do you have to say?”

At that time, Min-young, who had been talking for a while, turned to me and asked.

Minyoung’s smiling cheeks were filled with tears.

“Whether you laugh or cry, do only one, just one. Do you know how ugly he is when he cries? mister?”

“hey!”

“ah! it hurts!”

Minyoung pinched my arm while receiving the toilet paper I was handing over.

The parents in the photo placed inside the glass tube were smiling brightly.

Come to think of it, even when I was taking that picture, Min-young got angry at my prank and pinched me, and I was crying because it hurt.

“Hey, look at this. It’s the same as our expression now.”

“Oops! You were more of a crybaby at this time.”

“You were stronger than me.”

So when I was young, sometimes Minyoung was like my older sister.

Because it was Minyoung who chased after someone in the neighborhood and kicked him in the shin, whether it was an older brother or younger brother.

“Now it’s the other way around. Pay off what you owe one by one? mom and dad. If he doesn’t keep his promise, punish him there.”

“What nonsense… … . No. He’s still great.”

For a long time like that, we chatted again, recalling old memories.

didn’t like it

Because this time has comforted both me and Minyoung.

“Let’s go back before it’s too late.”

The sky was already dark.

It was a 24-hour operation, so I could have stayed longer, but it was time to go back.

“Yeah, before that, can’t you just do me a favor?”

“What request?”

Min-young, who said that right away, opened her arms and said.

“Let’s hug one more time.”

“suddenly?”

“It’s because I miss the warmth of people seeing my parents after a long time.”

“Ha, am I the uncle?”

“Except what else? When I was young, you hugged me and just… … .”

I cut off Minyoung and hugged him.

“Only verse 1, only verse 1. This is also paying off the debt.”

“he. After all, family is the best.”

I patted Minyoung on the back, who buried her face in my arms.

Even if they always look happy, even if they seem to get along well, Minyoung and I always missed our family.

We grew up together since childhood, so now the only remaining family is each other.

We didn’t talk to each other, but we were already doing that.

“Never, you will never betray me. If you leave me alone and go first, I know they will follow you.”

“I went first, how can I die again?”

“Shall I kill you now?”

“I don’t think it’s something a person in his arms would do.”

[I can’t see it.]

“Gilliant said he couldn’t see it. Let’s stop.”

“what? Where is Gilliant?”

I showed the necklace to Min-young, who was taken aback by my words.

“Here.”

“Since then?”

“Always- always.”

“ah… … .”

Min-young, who was blushing, packed her things and left.

[Why is he like that?]

I did not bother to answer Gilliant’s question and followed Min-young.

[What! why? What did I do wrong?]

‘I do not know. Think carefully.’

“I am, sir. Shouldn’t we go in?”

The four guilds hadn’t come out even though it had been a while since they entered the gate.

It was already dark everywhere, and the onlookers went home.

“Didn’t I say that the ones inside were Cheongryong, Cheongwoon, Gayeon, and Yubin?”

The agent answered Pyo Tae-min’s question.

“Yes, as a result of checking, the guild leaders said they came out directly.”

“Then let’s wait a little longer. They are not people who are easily defeated.”

“If something happens within the delay, we may be held accountable.”

“why?”

Pyo Tae-min made an expression that he really didn’t know.

The agent was momentarily taken aback by his question, and then told the reason.

“Isn’t it obvious? Just like its name, Guard is now going with the image of protecting everyone. This… If the guilds go wrong inside, we will stand by.”

I thought I had thoroughly prepared and studied, but that was also the part that Pyo Tae-min missed.

However, it was natural for him.

“Why is that on the sidelines? Who told you to jump in? Isn’t that their choice? I don’t see why I should help with that.”

Upon hearing Pyo Tae-min’s answer, the agent’s expression hardened as if he was shocked.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Oh, don’t you understand what I mean?”

Pyo Tae-min said sarcastically to the shocked agent.

“Are we here to serve? Are you here for rescue? We are here to settle disputes between guilds.”

“But morality is… … .”

“Demeanor? Doeui feed me Judy? Oh, then you go in and save me. Then it will work. So I did it on purpose, right? You ordered the rescue operation, so you’re not bystanders?”

“yes?”

“what are you doing? won’t you go in? You have to be a hero, right?”

The agent was bewildered.

I had heard about Pyo Tae-min, but I did not know that he was such a selfish person.

Even if it’s hypocrisy, you have to do moral things to maintain the public group called Guard, but that didn’t seem to work for this person.

‘That’s why I always get scolded by the branch manager.’

It has been famous since the days of the association that Pyo Tae-min is already an unbridled colt.

The agent glanced at his teammates.

Then, in the distance, I saw the headlights of a vehicle approaching.

*

“uh? Seo Joon-ah. Are there people gathering there? Isn’t that the gate?”

Looking at where Minyoung pointed, I saw a gate and people on the street.

There were a lot of people, so I couldn’t pass, and when I stopped the car, a man approached me.

“Excuse me… uh? Elementalist?”

“Who are you?”

The person who was greeting us said in surprise when the window opened and I revealed my face.

“Ah, I am from the Korean branch of Guard. By any chance, did Elementalist-nim come here because of that gate?”

“no. We have other business, so we are nearby and we are on our way. When was the gate created?”

“It’s been a while and it was around 6 o’clock when we came here.”

By then it was time for us to go to the memorial park.

The way into and out of the memorial park is completely different, and it seems that we did not encounter each other even though it was the same time.

“okay. Then, have a good time at work. We must pass.”

It seemed like there was no need to worry about coming from the guard to close the gate.

At that time, the man we were talking with was pushed away by someone, and a face he didn’t want to see came out of nowhere.

“No, who is this? Isn’t that Yu Seo-Jun? Are we old?”

It was Pyo Tae-min.

“Pyo Tae-min?”

“uh? Isn’t Seol Min-young, our beauty healer, next to you? Were you two dating?”

Even after being treated like that during the dungeon break, his personality seemed to be the same.

“why? Do you want to get slapped on the other cheek this time?”

Min-young did not lose to Pyo Tae-min and spoke.

“Ah, what a shameful word.”

“If there’s no reason to get caught any more, you want us to leave?”

I was about to leave there, where staying longer wouldn’t help, but Pyo Tae-min grabbed the open window and said.

“Where are you going? I need to ask for some help. No, should I say cooperation?”

“what? Why do I want you?”

There was no reason why I should help this guy.

It didn’t matter to me if I just stepped on the accelerator and left here.

However, his next words were unexpected.

“right? Do you think so too? Hey, team leader. Come over here.”

Then, Pyo Tae-min called a man named Han.

Then, pressing the back of the man’s head, he forced himself to show us his face and said,

“No, one team leader is like that. Is it moral or what if we help the hunters entering that gate? Yoo Seo-jun, don’t you think that’s the case too? huh?”

What bullsh*t is this again?

Are you saying there are already hunters in the gate?

I was about to close the window at Pyo Tae-min’s crazy behavior for unknown reasons, but a man called the team leader said.

“Help me. Now, Cheongpung, Cheongun, Gayeon, and Yubin guilds have gone inside and haven’t heard from them for several hours. We’re here to settle their possible dispute… … .”

“Ah, stop. Who gave you the say?”

Pyo Tae-min, who cut off the words of a team leader and pushed him away, pushed his face again.

“Is that so? What should I do? Is it right that we should help? If not, is it really a crime of neglect? I don’t know about that, do I?”

“Crazy.”

Minyoung’s mouth opened before mine.

“Don’t stare at me like that. Your pretty face is wrinkled.”

ha, how do i do this

The guild names I just heard belonged to medium-sized guilds, if not large.

If that was true, the guard would really be sitting by the sidelines and that would look bad in public opinion.

[But that kid has an attitude of being on the sidelines?]

‘That’s his personality. A selfish personality who never sympathizes with people’s difficulties.’

That was Pyo Tae-min.

It’s not because I’m listening to crazy people for no reason.

‘I guess you just have to do your job well. Well, if you look at it rationally, that’s true.’

[but?]

‘Because it’s not profitable at all when viewed as a whole?’

[What are you going to do?]

‘There is the best way in this situation.’

I smiled at the guy who was laughing badly and picked up my smart phone.
