Chapter 1009 – 1009. Yggdrasil (7)
“What!?”
After hearing Hanbom’s words, Midwinter ran out of the bathroom in a hurry.
Midwinter ran out naked, but she didn’t feel any resistance.
The other person is my real sister.
She had no reason to hide her nakedness.
Midwinter approached the place where Midspring was, naked.
Han Bom’s body, which had been hidden by steam, was slowly revealed…
“… Sister. Why are you naked?”
Hanbom appeared naked.
Hanbom scratched her head and grunted in response.
“She was sleeping.”
“Ah…”
While she was sleeping naked, she heard the story and came running here with the intention of telling Midwin.
Midwinter was both moved and puzzled by her older sister’s appearance.
‘Something strange?’
No matter how well Hanbom handles the heat, she was never the type to take off her clothes and sleep.
Even though she can be a bit shy sometimes, she never loses her example in front of her younger siblings.
That kind of sister was sleeping naked?
And there was one more strange thing.
‘… ‘Well, what got so much on it?’
There was something sticky stuck to Hanbom’s body.
No… Something continued to flow from her chest and crotch.
In the middle of winter, the pieces that had been scattered around in a mess were put together in an instant, completing the puzzle.
‘West… Could it be that…’
In midwinter, she began to delusion, remembering her body that was buried with her body, not Midspring’s body.
Let midwinter gaze into midspring…
“Ah! Hey, hey! “I have to wash up, so get out of the way for a moment!”
Hanbom covered her body with both hands and ran into the bathroom with an expression of regret.
Hanbom did not go inside her wooden bathtub, but washed her body in the water flowing from outside her and blushed.
‘I forgot because I fell asleep with you earlier…’
I felt guilty at the thought of showing my ugly face in front of her younger brother.
But she can’t do anything about what has already happened.
After washing her body, she approached Midwinter, who was looking at her blankly.
“Let’s go quickly.”
“Uh… Uh…”
So the two people left the bathroom looking awkward.
As soon as Midwinter changed her clothes after coming out of her bathroom, she came to her senses and asked Hanbom.
“Oh right! “You said there was a war, right?”
“No, it hasn’t grown yet.”
“What? Then what I said earlier… ?”
After speaking with certainty, she suddenly became vague
“While I was sleeping, Gaeul had a premonition and told him. Hayeon and I happened to be next to her, and her older sister heard it.”
“…”
In the middle of winter, a basket started to get stuck in my head again.
Haha… Except me…’
It was imagined in her head.
The sight of Seong Su-ho surrounded by three women…
Hanbom opened her mouth, looking straight ahead, unaware of Midwinter’s thoughts.
“My uncle told me to tell you, but I came because I thought you would be here.”
“Then he… No, Su-ho oppa… ?”
Seong Su-ho said it was okay to speak informally, but since he would get scolded if he spoke informally in front of his sister, he asked her by an awkward title.
“I went first.”
“Ah…”
It was an action that I always thought about but never felt hesitation.
‘… ‘If I do that, won’t I end up in big trouble later?’
In the past, she felt fondness and affection for his actions.
But recently, seeing her like that, she started to get worried.
Midwinter shook his head and tried to erase his worries.
‘No, I’m sure he’ll do well. Let’s go up quickly first.’
Midwinter thought like that and headed to the center of the hall like midspring.
All party members except Seong Su-ho were gathered in the center of the hall.
Min Ha-yeon, Han Ga-eul, Namgung Yu-ha, the trio.
A total of eight people gathered like that.
Everyone looked half-asleep because they suddenly woke up while they were sleeping.
As mid-spring and mid-winter came together, Min Ha-yeon looked at the trio with a stern expression and said.
“We’ll go and come back.”
The situation has already decided who will leave, and who will stay.
It was the same as the member who went up to the 4th floor before.
For reference, it was Seong Su-ho who decided on the number of people.
I once thought about changing the party members by coordinating them, but I decided that unnecessary replacement would only incite confusion.
The trio responded with worried expressions as they looked at the four people trying to leave.
“Yes, be careful.”
“If you have any problems, please contact us.”
“Winter, you too be careful.”
While staying here for a week in the middle of winter, she became quite friendly with the trio.
Originally, with Midwinter’s skills, she would have stayed here, but…
“Winter, can you stick close to me as much as possible? Okay?”
“Yeah, okay.”
At Midwinter’s request, she decided to continue accompanying him for a while.
Midwinter smiled and nodded her head.
“Yes. “I’ll come down as soon as everything is resolved.”
“Yes, take care of yourself!”
That was the end of the simple send-off.
And Min Ha-yeon shouted as she saw Namgung Yu-ha going up to the 4th floor: Mid-spring, mid-autumn, mid-winter.
“Come on, let’s go!”
“Yes!”
So I headed to the 4th floor.
As soon as she went up to the fourth floor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Phew… “I guess I’m still okay.”
Umbra was surrounded by darkness, but it was extremely peaceful.
Min Ha-yeon was relieved as she looked at the quiet city.
Then she took the lead and opened her mouth.
“Come on, let’s go.”
She everyone nodded and followed Min Ha-yeon.
The members who arrived at the outskirts of the city quickly went to the city entrance and headed to the royal castle.
No one stopped them in the process.
Rather, he smiled as if welcoming the party members.
“Look over there. “Hero’s colleague.”
“I can’t tell the difference between human appearances… Is that right?”
“It’s clear. “I can’t help but notice because I have portraits of my hero’s colleagues at home and look at them every day.”
“Oh, oh… Where did you get that portrait? I want to get one too…”
It was clearly a huge amount of interest.
But there was only one person who was the center of attention.
“Hero’s colleague!?”
“Oooh… Should I say thank you instead?”
Seong Su-ho.
Everyone was only talking about Seong Su-ho.
Midwinter smiled bitterly at that sight.
‘Even though I stayed here for half a year, most people didn’t know me…’
I stayed here for over half a year in the middle of winter.
However, the only residents who recognized her were the staff at her regular restaurant or the soldiers.
She wasn’t upset.
To the Umbra residents living on the 4th floor, Midwinter was a completely different species.
Moreover, her midwinter companions sometimes confused her with other summoners.
There were even times when, upon seeing a male summoner who looked nothing like me, I asked him if it was the middle of winter.
But Seong Su-ho was different.
‘Has it been a month since you came up to the 4th floor?’
One month.
In just one month, there was no one in Umbra who did not know Seong Su-ho’s face.
And with Seong Su-ho’s fame…
‘Hmm… As expected, it feels good.’
On the contrary, her colleague and herself began to feel better.
In the past, her deep jealousy would have clung to her mind and tormented her.
But it was different now.
In fact, Seong Su-ho’s praise was more pleasant to hear than his own praise.
So, I arrived at the castle while listening to the praises of Seongsuho.
When she arrived at the castle, she was able to meet Izanka, Ardia, and Grandmother Melissa.
“Oh, you’re here.”
“You suddenly called me while I was sleeping…”
Everyone clearly looked tired.
No matter how fight-crazy and responsible these women may be, being called while they are sleeping is something they don’t like.
However, the fact that she called at dawn meant that it was an emergency.
Midwinter went inside the castle and explained her situation to the three women.
“It’s a prophecy…”
As soon as the three women heard the story about the prophecy, their eyes tightened, and their expressions filled with tension.
“Okay… If that’s the case, I’m more than happy to be called like this.”
“It’s lower than getting hit by a cannonball while you sleep.”
The three women shook their heads and quickly shook off the sleep.
After having such a crazy conversation…
“Are you here?”
From afar, the king was smiling brightly as he looked at the group.
And then the back of a man who was alone with the king was seen.
Seong Su-ho greets the king with his arms crossed.
Seong Su-ho turned around with his arms crossed.
Then they looked at themselves and asked simply.
“Are you here?”
An ordinary greeting.
But that sight made my midwinter heart pump like it was about to burst.
‘And… The dog is cool.’
The sight of Seong Su-ho standing arrogantly with his arms crossed was not cool.
Seong Su-ho takes an arrogant stance while talking to the king, who is difficult for others to even look at.
Force and power strong enough to make the king bow down.
Nobles, whose faces it is difficult to see even once, were bowing towards Seongsuho.
I was excited to see Seong Su-ho like that.
Midwinter stared blankly at Seongsuho.
But Seong Su-ho, who was looking at me like that…
‘… Huh?’
He suddenly started coming to me.
Then, he came right up to the front, put his hand on Midwinter’s shoulder, and asked with a worried expression.
“Are you not feeling well? Wouldn’t it be better to go and rest?”
Midwinter saw Seong Su-ho like that and made a promise.
‘Okay… When this is over… Please…’
***
He asked, placing a hand on his shoulder in the middle of winter.
“Are you not feeling well? Wouldn’t it be better to go and rest?”
It was a sincere concern.
Perhaps because he was suddenly called in the middle of the morning, his expression was very relaxed.
But in response to my question, Midwinter quickly shook his head and smiled brightly.
“Oh, no! It’s okay, it’s okay!”
“Okay… Don’t overdo it.”
“Uh, yes!”
I nodded, satisfied with Midwinter’s answer.
But the only thing that satisfied me was my spirit.
My body was not satisfied.
‘Whoa… Let’s be patient.’
These days, every time I see this shy figure in the middle of winter, my lower abdomen shakes like crazy.
And every time that happened, he used other members to calm the turbulent lower abdomen.
Kang Han-na, who saw me, laughed and said over the phone.
[Why don’t you just do it?]
‘…’
Okay… If you wanted to, you could have done it a long time ago.
I already knew that Midwinter had opened her heart to me.
But…
[Our goal is midsummer, not midwinter.]
As Armonia said, our goal is midsummer.
And our goals were aligned with my desires.
‘You can’t give up a bag of marshmallows to eat later just because of one marshmallow.’
And more than anything, watching Midwinter’s Dream gave me even more reasons to endure.
‘… ‘Midsummer, I’m weaker against midwinter than I thought.’
Even though Midsummer was trash, he was also a person.
He was a trash boyfriend to Min Ha-yeon, a trash brother to Han Bom, and an invisible brother to Han Ga-eul…
‘Is it because of something I committed in the past? ?’
At least he was respected by Midwinter as an older brother.
When I got money, the first thing I did was give her pocket money, and when Midwinter complained, I pretended to fix it, at least in front of her.
Midwinter also knew that Midreum cared more about him than her older sisters.
However, since she treated Min Ha-yeon, Han Bom, and Han Ga-eul like trash, she treated them like trash…
‘Midsummer… Just wait a moment. Your favorite brother… I’ll let you meet me quickly.’
Thinking like that, I smiled at Midwinter and then turned my gaze back to the king.
Dealing with the king was not difficult.
When the news of my arrival spread, the king came running in a huff.
Even now it is night.
It was the time when the residents of Umbra were active.
Next to the king were lined up ministers who had sworn allegiance to him.
The king opened his mouth again so that the ministers next to him could hear.
“Really… Are you saying that war will break out today?”
“Maybe.”
Although the mid-autumn prophecy level was high, in the end, the prophecy was a prophecy.
It was common for the prophecy to go astray if something went wrong.
But on the other hand, that was also the advantage of prophecy.
“There are ways to avoid war.”
In other words, there was a way to prevent prophecy.
“What is that…”
As I looked at the king, who tilted his head, I told him how the prophecy would go wrong.
“Let’s attack first and move up from our side.”
Finally, the last floor of Midgard… It’s time to go to the 5th floor.
