Chapter 234 – Pocket Girls
“Where are you going? Bastard…!”
Awesome!!
“Khehe…!!”
Seong-il kicks Tae-seong in the back as he tries to escape, then kneels down on Tae-seong and puts her on his neck to subdue him.
“Can… Breath…!!”
“If you don’t want to get upset, stay calm.”
After Seong-il has completely subdued Tae-seong, the guard sighs lightly and approaches him with Seong-il’s phone.
Clap!!
“I’ve filled the restraints, so I’ll be in charge of this guy from now on.”
“Please.”
When Seong-il showed that he was willing to cooperate with him, the guard nodded and handed Seong-il’s phone to him.
“The phone is unique.”
“Ah, it’s newly made in A-01…”
“Aha…”
Despite Seongil’s vague words, the guards don’t seem suspicious.
‘Even when I showed it to Dr. Woo, he didn’t say anything, so what…’
Seong-il thought so, and the guard started gesturing to him as if to follow him, and Seong-il quietly followed him to the security guard post.
“…You mean this guy stole a partner named Blue from A-01 Shelter’s Dr. Woo?”
“Yes.”
“That… Is a lie! I… I am… Legally…!!”
Awesome!!
“Khehe…!!”
‘…It must be fortunate for Taeseong that humans are on the verge of extinction, and that those in power are a group of awake scholars. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death like a dog.’
A guard who ruthlessly beats Taeseong, who is trying to defend himself, with a club to suppress him. Like the apocalypse world, his hands were fierce.
“Shut up. On the subject of attempted murder and theft.”
Having said that, the guards begin to ask Seong-il about the situation in more detail to see if there is a slight sting.
“Why don’t you just contact Dr. Woo, who is in charge of A-01 Shelter, without asking for my alibi?”
“Ha… I see. That would make more sense.”
When Seong-il is bothered by Katabuta’s answer and tries to hand over responsibility, the guard sighs lightly and agrees with his words.
Having said that, he glanced at his colleague and gave an unspoken order. Upon hearing the order, the guard stood up without a word and left to go somewhere to confirm.
“…Really.”
“Hmm…”
“One, it is true that the adult children named Seong-il were sent to the search party. And there was actually a theft that day.”
“Right? That madman stole a kid named Blue, and tried to ambush me and Hana to extort my partner.”
“Crazy…!!”
The outer environment of the Shelter in the very dangerous Pocket Girls Apocalypse world. In that environment, ordinary people would die in an instant if they went around without a psychic partner, so taking away the partner of the other person was a taboo among taboos.
In the meantime, when Tae-seong tries to rob the two children’s partner, the guards’ faces contort with anger and start glaring at Tae-seong.
“Heeek…!!”
And Taeseong, who must have sensed the anger, put on a frightened expression and lowered his head to the floor to avoid looking at him. Seeing him like that, Seong-il begins to connect her words to drive a wedge.
“…For an alibi for the heist, ask Hana, who accompanied me at Shelter A-01. He will give you the same alibi as mine.”
“Okay. I have no choice but to believe it.”
“Then… May I go?”
“Yes! You took too much of the time of the person who is working hard to explore the outside and rescue the castaway. I think you can go.”
“Thank you!!”
When everything was arranged according to his plan, Seong-il stood up with a smile on his face. He gets up and moves out of the interrogation room. Seong-il then sneaks up to the guard outside, and he asks an unresolved curiosity.
“…If.”
“…?”
“What will become of that madman named Taeseong?”
“Oh, you will be handed over to the refereeing committee to pay for your crimes.”
“Ah…”
“At this time when humanity is on the verge of extinction, we cannot just kill people with intelligence, so I think we should probably send them to factories or coal mines and make them pay for their crimes through forced labor.”
“Aha… I see!”
He nods his head with a hearty smile when the guard tells him that perhaps Tae-sung will be sentenced to forced labor for a long time in a factory or mine.
‘Chew … I tried to smash the limbs as it was.
Seong-il, who has captured his thoughts, comes out of the security guard. He sighs lightly and thinks about his future schedule.
‘Hmm, should I go to the gym and get an assignment from the director?’
Like a parody game, although it is a game with a dark atmosphere, the elements of the original are quite well preserved in the world of Pocket Girls.
Seong-il returns to this world spontaneously, so he decides to follow the storyline normally.
‘Yeah… Just focus on watching the ending. As well as collecting points.’
Thinking so, Seong-il calmly moves to the gym in the second shelter.
“Hello…!”
“Oh, you’re new! What did you come here for?”
When we arrived at the fairly large gym, a boy who appeared to be a guide appeared at the entrance. Seong-il calmly hands Dr. Woo the ID he gave him.
“Aha! You’re from Shelter A-01, right? You’re here to take a proficiency test, right?”
“Yes.”
“Could you go inside and wait for a while? I’ll bring the manager and prepare for the fight.”
“All right.”
Seong-il sits on a chair at the location the staff member guided him to, and fidgets with Red’s cheek, which is tied around his waist.
‘It’s been a while, so I’m a bit confused. Red’s abilities were flame manipulation and telekinesis…?’
Seong-il squeezed out the memories of the past in preparation for the future confrontation. A man with a rough voice started talking to him.
“Oh, so you’re the newcomer from Shelter A-01?”
Appearance of a brown haired male with impressive muscular body wearing short sleeves. He must have lived a pretty rough life, and there were quite a few scars on every corner of his body.
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
“Hey…”
“…?”
The man looks at Seong-il with a strange expression, and he starts talking in a tone that seems to be funny.
“You’re a fun kid. Usually, when you take on your first mission as an adult, you’re often overwhelmed by the dangerous environment outside… You don’t seem to be doing anything wrong, do you?”
“…You must be misunderstood.”
“No, it’s not like that. Your eyes are the eyes of someone who’s been through a lot.”
“…”
Seong-il is at a loss for words at the rather sharp observational power of the gym leader. Seeing Seongil like that, the director shrugged his shoulders, relaxed the atmosphere, and continued his words.
“Okay. Well, it’s the law that sometimes unusual guys appear. Nice to meet you. My name is Baron.”
“It’s Han Seong-il.”
“Yes. Did you get a partner from Dr. Woo?”
“Yes. Do you know?”
“That’s right, your friend came and went in advance yesterday.”
“Ah…”
One that probably came to the gym a day earlier than the holy day and went to the battle evaluation. Seong-il nods his head at Veron’s words and gestures to know.
“Haha! Anyway, now that we’re at the gym, we’ll have a fight, shall we?”
“Yes. Please.”
“Okay~~ Follow me here.”
Having said that, Veron takes Seong-il and takes her to a spacious vacant lot inside the building.
‘Ohh… Here it is…’
A view of the interior of the gym, which is pretty well decorated with the theme of the ruined apocalypse world. A plaza like the inside of a fairly well-made school gymnasium unfolds.
“Alright… Get your partner out in the middle of the gym.”
“Yes! Red! Go…!!”
Seong-il throws a ball hanging from his waist toward the center of the field. Then, a glamorous woman with impressive red hair like a blazing flame appears from his cheek that fell to the floor.
“Ohhh… Is that your partner? She’s quite a beauty?”
“Yes. Well… She’s a beauty.”
When Red shouts out the word “Beautiful,” Seong-il cutely turns his head and smiles.
‘…Cute.’
Seeing that cute figure, Seong-il feels blood rushing to his crotch without even realizing it.
“Pu haha! A child who knows how to make not only his hair burn, but also his partner’s heart.”
“Haha… Thank you. Director Veron has a partner…?”
“Oh, I don’t have a partner right now.”
“…Yes?”
Seong-il is taken aback by the sudden absence of a partner.
‘Is it strange? Originally, didn’t this man raise partners in the body strengthening system?’
Perhaps realizing what Seong-il was thinking, Veron began to speak with a bitter smile.
“Ah, originally, I was training partners with body strengthening systems like me…”
“…But?”
“Yesterday, the Hyperdan guys were making a fuss around the shelter. The search staff reinforcement request came and I had no choice but to send the partners I was training as reinforcements.”
“Ahh… Can I leave the partners to others?”
“Oh, that’s right, I’m the one who educates the wild psychics that kids like you have rescued from the outside. I have no long-term partners except one. The old partner went to lead the newcomers this time.”
“Aha. I understand.”
“Yeah, beating such a cute kid is kind of stinging…”
“…Are you sure you can win?”
Seong-il is dumbfounded at Veron’s self-confidence towards Red, a psychic who has undergone proper training.
“Oh, of course. I’m a psychic too.”
“Ohh…”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“I see. Most psychics know that when they awaken their abilities, their brain becomes overloaded and their intelligence deteriorates…”
“Whoops!! This body has overcome that problem.”
‘Hmm… It’s fun.’
I don’t know why, but the current situation where the story is slightly out of sync. In the past, Seong-il would have been embarrassed, but his skills have improved considerably, and his confidence has risen considerably after clearing several games.
“If so…”
“…?”
“Is it okay if I go to the match myself instead of Red?”
“What?”
Veron makes an absurd expression when Seong-Il says that instead of his perfect partner Red, Seong-Il will engage in sparring. However, Seong-il calmly holds a dumbbell lying in the corner of the gym and begins to strain her hand.
Ujijik
“…!!!”
Surprisingly, the dumbbell was broken weakly in his hand. When Veron shows a shocked look, Seong-il starts talking to him with a fishy smile.
“…It seems like I’ve awakened my bodily psychic abilities a while ago. I want to be taught.”
“Ohh…”
Veron, who instantly corrects his expression and shows a serious look. He turns his neck and makes a knocking sound, then stands in the middle of the arena and starts provoking Seong-il by waving his hand.
“Hmm… It’s very rare that you’re usually awakened and your intellect doesn’t degenerate, but it’s really fun.”
“…How about you?”
“That’s why it’s more fun. Special cases like mine are really rare… Actually, there are many things I want to ask. Let’s talk about it after a fight.”
“Good.”
Having said that, the two naturally start glaring at each other from the middle of the cup.
‘Hmm… 『Emotion』 Tells me that his level is not easy…’
Seong-il secretly grasped Veron’s level through 『Emotion』. However, unexpectedly, apart from the degree of threat,『Emotion』Does not awaken a sense of crisis in him.
Therefore, Seong-il, who thought that he was worthy of sticking with Veron with his own abilities, naturally began to gather his skills after performing the ceremony of bankruptcy priesthood.
“What is it? That bizarre posture?”
“It’s bizarre, but one effect is certain.”
“Puha…! Confidence is good.”
After that, Veron tried to charge at Seong-il with fearsome momentum, and Seong-il, who saw that, also blew his lower body and attempted an explosive charge at Veron.
