20 – Initiation of Operation ~ Preparation for counterattack (2)~

“Crap, what did you want?”

– That’s… Bring the prince of the cold…

Then he stopped the resonance wire that was shaking gently and asked me quietly.

They said that that girl might be your inevitability or our honored guest.

I couldn’t be sure because I couldn’t check the face, but I replied that it was probably so.

“Ouch, ow, you go out and get me.”

“… I see.”

I got further and further away from the atmosphere where I could bring up the main topic, but I couldn’t disobey Seolwon’s words.

And I have to check the condition of Hansarang.

Are you surprised that I was gone when you suddenly woke up?

I’m not even a kid…

I nodded instead of talking and got out of the guild room. Even the chill that made my bones feel cold now that I had met him felt like warmth.

Although it may have had the effect of reaping his energy in preparation for the soon-to-be guest.

Huu, I let out the released tension with a sigh and headed for the first floor in the elevator.

As the number of stairs reached the ground, the commotion grew.

– Beep, 1st floor.

– The door opens.

After the door opened, I headed straight to the lobby and looked around.

I don’t know what the situation was a while ago, but the main cause of the current wave is the reporters.

Not the reporters from the pro-Seolwon side managed by the Seolwon side, but the outside reporters who came in after smelling it.

– What is your relationship with this blind girl?

– Do you admit that your powers are back?

-Have you been hiding her powers all this time?

Dazzling flashes exploded here and there along with countless questions.

Seolwon’s employees and security guards tried their best to stop the reporters, but it was not easy as there were only a few of them.

As I always did, I tried to find one love by consistently ignoring it, and I stole one of the microphones that I held up to my chin.

I didn’t mean to spread gossip out of irritation.

Now I have to show a different side of myself.

For the fans who have been waiting for and cheering for me like Han Sarang.

As I opened my strength with a clearing of my throat, the entire crowd became silent and listened to my words.

“Ah. Well… As everyone knows, I lost my ability in an accident.”

– Are you saying that you are not hiding your abilities?

“Yes, one day a miracle came to me. The girl is my miracle.”

– Please describe your relationship with the girl in a bit more detail!

“I can’t guarantee it, but I’ll show you my old self again. Thank you.”

I gave as many answers as I wanted to the questions the media asked.

He didn’t even show a hint of emotion, let alone brilliant rhetoric.

And then he just said it plainly.

The prince of the cold has recovered from his injury and returned with the miraculous girl.

After the short interview, we headed to the staff lounge following James’ ear-splitting voice.

As he entered, there were two people.

A tearful love and her older sister Frey comforting her.

“Oh, you’re here, brother.”

“You…? Are you here?”

“Yeah, sorry.”

I carefully sat down in the seat given to me by my sister.

Then, holding back her tears, she completely gave herself over to me. I gently embraced that one love.

Even though cold currents flow in my heart, I hope that only her warmth will be transmitted to her.

The one love who vomited sad tears into my chest raised her head and looked up at me.

“I heard the interview…”

“Really?”

I don’t think she will listen, she made her words a little cheesy.

This is a bit embarrassing.

“… I was happy. So… Yes, that’s why I was crying…”

A smile appeared on Han Sarang’s face.

The traces of tears on his reddened cheeks didn’t just feel sad.

I held her like that for a while so she could calm down.

In the middle, even Frey noona looked nice, but she said she was jealous and hugged me.

After stopping her crying and implicitly letting her go, she conveyed Seol-won’s words.

“Hansarang, the guild leader wants to see you.”

“Yes…? The guild leader? That Seolwon grandfather?”

Grandpa… Yes, the public can call you that friendly.

I feel repulsive just reading along.

“… Yes. It’s an honored guest who restored my abilities. They say they want to treat you with utmost care.”

“I want to receive that from you. Come to think of it, don’t you have to work harder to impress me? If I run away, you will fall again.”

Perhaps he has come to his senses now, he plays a shameless prank as usual.

Feeling a little relieved by that fact, I reacted half-jokingly and half-seriously.

“Because I know you can’t run away. The crybaby saint cries out that she misses you even if she disappears for a while.”

“Cry… Crybaby Saint! Well… I’m not saying it’s wrong… Mr. Woo. You’re being arrogant about the wand!”

She grabbed her weak fists and pulled her body up.

“Sister, I’ll bring it.”

“Yes, my younger brother. My older sister is fine even if it’s a second time, so I’ll wait…”

“… Please don’t joke like that.”

– Beep. It is on the 13th floor.

– Identification… Baek Han-il, a member of the 1st Purification Unit, and an unregistered outsider.

– Approval of the guild leader… Done.

– The door opens.

With Han Sarang, we arrived at the 13th floor where the guild manager is located.

As soon as I stepped in, the chill that gripped my whole body disappeared, and colorful flowers bloomed in the hallway as if spring had arrived after winter had ended.

Han Sarang added that it is a fragrance and humidity as if you are in a botanical garden.

“Guild leader, we’ve brought an honored guest.”

“…Come in.”

After feeling nervous, I exhaled and opened the door.

Seol-won, unlike before, had a more benevolent impression by wearing a monocle.

His trademark, Gong Myung-seon, was also laid down on the desk and greeted Hansarang with open arms.

“Welcome. Are you my son’s honored guest?”

“That… It happened that way. hehehe. It’s a coincidence.”

“Miracles happened by coincidence, so it was inevitable. I really appreciate it.”

“… No. I received more. To me, this is a miracle.”

I had my arms crossed to act as a cane, and I was at a loss as the cheesy horses came and went.

To the extent that I want to hide in a mouse hole.

“I was worried that this Aya doesn’t get close to people. I never thought I’d bring such a pretty new lady.”

“A bird… A bird?”

What else did that old man say…

But I didn’t have the courage to stop.

“Leave those things aside. These are the absurd remarks of a scolded old man.”

“hehehe, maid… It’s okay.”

Fortunately, Hansarang didn’t seem to care. I guess I rather like it…

“That’s fortunate. Do you have a guild that the maid is currently affiliated with? If not, how about joining this snowfield?”

“That… That’s it.”

Han Sarang looked at me and hesitated to answer.

Finally, the introduction related to the main topic was brought out.

I barely intervened because it was an opportunity that might come again if I missed the timing.

“… Guild Master, I have a request for you regarding that.”

“Looking at the full anxiety moving under your eyes, it must be something you’ve been forging for a long time. Please speak comfortably.”

What I’m going to tell you about now is the number of gambles that could cost more than my worth.

The introduction was also very stimulating, so I decided to round it up a bit even if it wasn’t like me.

“Snowfield… Can you fight a guild war with another giant guild for me?”

“… It’s beyond imagination. Yes, in life, when a miracle comes, the same misfortune follows.”

Seol-won immediately put off the answer and picked up the resonance line to say more.

I felt tremendous pressure on the rustling feathers.

At that moment when I was hesitant to answer, Hansarang held my hand.

Go for it. It felt like the tension that had risen to the tip of her chin was relieved when I gave words of support in a voice that only I could hear.

“… Another coincidence.”

“It must have been bad luck.”

“… Yes.

I tell Seol-won the process of meeting Han Sarang, the whole story of the academy terror incident that I found out about, and the agreement I made with Logan yesterday.

All related information was summarized and delivered.

There were times when I was out of breath because of the tension, but whenever that happened, Han Sarang held his hand tightly.

“…That’s what happened, aya. Go Jin-gam-rae (苦盡甘來), Hong Jin-bi-rae (興盡悲來). Your life isn’t going smoothly either.”

“… I guess.”

“Yes, the fact that you told me this directly must mean that you have a plan of your own. Let me hear that too.”

He nodded heavily.

A plan to lead me back to a peaceful daily life.

I finally brought out the irritating rush that I had been hesitant about.

“First of all… I will leave the snowfield as per their request. The penalty is…”

“I’ll take care of it.”

…!

Seol-won was shaking the resonance line without the slightest change in expression as if nothing had happened.

I thought you’d insist that it was really the best thing.

Not only that, but he wasn’t the guy I used to know, to say that he would pay hundreds of billions of won in penalty instead.

I wondered if it was possible that someone else possessed the seolwon.

Noticing even that, he raised his eyebrows and expressed his doubts.

“Why are you stumbling around? Say something next.”

“…Yes, I will comply with their request and find out the backs of the demons. Then…”
