take a break

The next day, Siyoon left the mansion as soon as he ate lunch. The servants who manage the garden glanced at him as he went out early, but soon returned to focusing on their work.

“Today is?”

“It doesn’t seem to stick.”

He wondered how on earth Pil-wu was able to catch tailing so well, but decided to listen to the answer later.

“Do you want to go to the Hanam library first?”

“It should be. I think there will be the most diverse books there.”

It is safe to say that the libraries operated by Hanam Public Facility, a subsidiary of Hanam Construction, are a kind of public library.

Hanam Management Construction, its affiliates or subsidiaries, or anyone who had an employee ID could borrow books from the library, even if they were not affiliated with the library.

Of course, since Choi Si-yoon does not have an employee ID, it was originally impossible to borrow from the library, but Pil-woo was different.

First of all, Jang Pil-woo, who was officially serving Choi Si-yoon, was a full-time employee of an affiliate of Seongma Group.

“You must be really nice to me later. That’s it.”

Pil-wu chuckled, showing his old employee ID.

On it, it was written that I was Jang Pil-woo, the team leader of the 4th team of Sungma Mulsan Management Support Office.

Of course, the horse was the team leader, but it was just a one-man team.

“yes. I’ll just pay you back double.”

“Oh, do you really listen to me?”

“Uh huh. Didn’t I tell you about my yesterday too? Fruit is always sincere.”

“Puhahahaha. Where the hell did you come up with that kind of tone?”

‘Aren’t there historical dramas here?’

Well, if you think about it carefully, the legitimacy of Joseon eventually led to the Korean Empire and the Republic of Korea. From the point of view of those who made the Republic of Korea infamous and established a stronghold as a corporate nation in this land, historical dramas would not have been very willing to be content.

Si-yoon and Pil-wu took a streetcar that passed over the ground and headed for the 2nd building.

Like the 1st and 3rd dongs, the 2nd dong was located inside the inner wall unlike the 4th dong, and it was a place that could be seen as the administrative center of Hanam City along with the headquarters of Hanam Management Construction.

Eventually, the second building appeared in front of them after passing through the long tunnel.

Seeing this, Siyoon muttered a small admiration.

“It’s definitely a different world.”

“I guess so.”

“Hmm···.”

“why. Are you afraid you might run into Master Jinseong?”

“No way. Will you go to the ground like us? He’ll probably ride a helicopter somewhere. Looking out at people like us struggling to get on the streetcar, laughing at the peasants.”

“That’s right.”

Siyoon is densely packed with skyscrapers, high-end shopping malls and well-equipped infrastructure. And looking out at the overly clean street, I couldn’t help but think of Building 4.

I already knew it in my head, but when I actually saw it like this, I had no choice but to realize the huge gap between the rich and the poor.

he looked out the window

Everyone walking the streets of those two buildings were full-time employees with employee IDs issued by the group.

In addition, a non-regular worker who had just been hired at a late-night restaurant laughed.

‘… It’s fun.’

His gaze looked up at the head office building of Hanam Management Construction, which was soaring high into the sky.

‘This must taste like climbing.’

To borrow the words of an old man at the restaurant, the sense of accomplishment to start at the ‘garbage disposal plant’ and stand on top of the sky lounge of that tall skyscraper would have been amazing, needless to say.

‘Hey, the content is substantial~.’

As he laughed to himself, Pil-woo looked down at Si-yoon like a crazy person.

In the meantime, the tram they rode approached in front of Hanam Public Facility Station.

Then a familiar voice pierced my ears.

[The Stop Peace Hanam Public Facility. Hanam Public Facility. The Doors in Your Raft]

‘It’s terrifyingly the same.’

Si-yoon, who got off the tram following the almost nostalgic announcement, was able to immediately find the Hanam Library, which he had only glimpsed once in the game.

The library was three stories high, but it was built as wide as it was the largest library in Hanam.

The exterior was quite neat and the style also looked unique.

“Pilwoo.”

“Yes.”

“Go ahead.”

“yeah.”

He led Phil Woo in the lead and leisurely walked behind him on the crowded sidewalk.

Since Pil-wu boasted the size of a bandit, people opened the way for him, so it couldn’t be more comfortable for Si-yoon to follow him.

“Is it lunch time now?”

“Perhaps? A lot of places must have already been finished.”

“Somehow people said it was too crowded.”

One of the characteristics of this world where corporations are countries is that the world is quiet except for commuting and lunchtime.

It wasn’t like that in all, but at least in the case of Building 2, which was mainly occupied by companies performing administrative functions of the city, it was especially like that.

“Welcome~.”

Entering the library while being greeted by the librarian, he took a smaller scale than he could have imagined.

As soon as they entered, a huge hall greeted them, and even at this time, it was quite crowded with office workers who were busy looking for something.

Not all of them came to borrow books, and it seemed that it was because the library was even playing the role of consigning corporate data.

“I think we can go to the second floor library.”

Pil-wu said, pointing to the part that says ‘2nd floor: magic and related’ written on the guide map.

In addition, Siyoon asked, pointing to the ‘3rd floor: magic and related’ section, which was written in red letters unlike the 2nd floor.

“here is?”

“It’s a forbidden library, so you won’t be able to enter with a regular employee ID. You will need to obtain a reading permit from the relevant department to view it. Even that won’t be a loan.”

“Is there such a thing as a forbidden library in some public library?”

“Isn’t it because there are things like forbidden books?”

“I know man.”

“Why did you ask if you knew?”

“Yeah.”

Si-yoon, who went up to the library on the second floor while chatting with Pil-woo, admired the various books that were on a completely different level from Choi’s mansion and entered between the bookshelves.

“Pilwoo. take it.”

“yeah.”

I pulled out ‘Principle of Magic Palace Production and its Understanding: Intermediate Edition’ from the bookshelf and threw it.

“This and… this… and this.”

“Would you like to borrow this much? You can only borrow up to five books, and if you carry a mountain of books, the mansion will look at you strangely.”

“uh? No, no. The things I chose now are the things I will read here today.”

There, Pil-wu muttered as if he missed him a little.

“It reminds me of something from the past.”

“Think of the old days?”

“Yes yes. Bocchan, when I was young. Do you remember? At that time, he read three or four books a day.”

“Ahh.”

Choi Si-yoon’s characteristic, ‘Cheon Hae-ryeok’, was a characteristic that he had even before the expansion pack was updated.

Because of this, it is likely that he quickly absorbed books with extraordinary understanding from a young age.

After Choi Si-yoon grew up, he still couldn’t understand why he had become such an incompetent and helpless human being.

“It was.”

While muttering that, Siyoon pulled out two more books and handed them to Pil-woo.

“I will borrow this.”

“I will remember it.”

“OK.”

Then, Siyoon silently looked at Pilwoo, who was sorting the books in the chart.

The other day, when he received an unpleasant invitation from Choi Il-soo, the son of Director Choi Woo-hyeok, he hadn’t noticed that Pil-wu was attached to him.

It was not only Choi Si-yoon, but also Choi Il-soo and Oh Ji-seok who had considerable skills.

When Pil-wu spoke to him in the dark, he replied casually, but in fact, he was surprised inside.

In addition, the technology for detecting presence is excellent, and every day Director Choi Woo-hyuk tells him whether he has attached a person or not.

Si-yoon Choi suddenly recalled countless deaths during the 15 days he had seen through the monitor before he became Si-yoon Choi.

Until now, I had thought that Jang Pil-woo was an ordinary servant, so I didn’t have any questions.

But now it was different.

‘I wonder if you really didn’t know.’

Could Jang Pil-woo, who is so good at hiding and detecting presence… really not know about the death threats approaching Choi Si-yoon?

If everyone knew, why didn’t you show up when you should have risked your life to protect Choi Si-yoon?

He asked in his heart toward Pil-wu, who was examining the title of the book while humming.

‘If that was the case, why are you now?’

Are you moving with sincerity for Choi Si-yoon?

But what is certain is that now, Pil-Woo Jang is cooperating with him more diligently than anyone else.

Choi Si-yoon thought that if he had been the help of his older brothers, including Choi Jin-seong, he would have already been murdered.

He wondered if it had something to do with how Pil-wu sometimes talked about Si-yoon’s childhood as if he missed him.

“Is there any good place to read a book here?”

“Oh, there is a book cafe right next door.”

“Cafe? cafe is good Lately, I’ve been craving an Americano.”

“The person who used to hate writing.”

“No matter how much I use it, it will be more bitter than the bitterness of a broken heart.”

“Pooh. No, they said not to bring up the old work.”

“I’m okay. Because it is my dark history.”

“That’s right.”

After chatting like that, they entered the book cafe, ordered roughly and took a seat by the window.

“Are you not drinking?”

“I am fine. Yesterday, the young master took out a lot of coffee from the restaurant, so I think I won’t have to eat it for a week since I’ve taken care of it.”

“That, if you don’t want to drink it, throw it away.”

“Is it bitter if I throw away food carelessly?”

“That’s right.”

After simply ordering an Americano and sitting down, I took out a book from the cart and began to concentrate quietly.

Pil-woo, who saw that, also shut his mouth.

Blood begins to circulate rapidly in his brain due to the momentary activation of his characteristic ‘Thousand Sea Power’.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Did it last like 2 hours?

Before he knew it, there were only two empty coffee cups in front of him and a second book in his hand.

‘This is pretty tiring.’

Since all the books I read were thick and intricate, the consumption of my mental power due to my shallow understanding was greater than I thought.

It even makes me feel a little dizzy.

Unknowingly applying acupressure to his temples, he raised his head thinking that he would have to order another drink full of sugar, but then stiffened.

A familiar face had just entered the cafe.

‘Iarin.’

She came inside with a book in her heart, and as if looking for a suitable spot, she turned her head and met Siyoon’s eyes.

“…”

“…”

Siyoon turned her eyes to the seat in front of her.

…Pil-Woo Jang had disappeared without a trace.
