Chapter 34 – Erosion Zone Practice (1)
“Junior, the cup is empty. Are you going to eat more?”
“Yes.”
Beatrice poured a drink into a midsummer glass while smiling bewitchingly.
Maybe it was because of the seats, it was midsummer where strong alcohol felt like water.
Thanks to that, he drank his fill of the alcohol Beatrice gave him.
“What’s your relationship with junior Kim Moo-gong?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“It’s because the two of you stick together. Even if I don’t say anything, everyone will be curious, right?”
“I don’t know.”
“Aren’t you a lover? Of course I’m a lover.”
As if she already knew but didn’t know, Beatrice pretended to be startled.
“Bad baby.”
Midsummer glared at her with a slightly flushed face.
“You seem to like junior Kim Moo-gong?”
“I don’t know.”
Jump.
Midsummer drank her strong drink in one gulp.
Winnie-the-dark breath escaped between Midsummer’s lips.
“How far has the progress gone?”
“Yes? Ji-jindo…?”
“If it’s ambiguous, I heard you should just pounce on me these days? I saw it on the internet.”
“I can’t believe what the internet says.”
She let out a deep sigh and Midsummer shook her head.
“That’s right.”
Beatrice agreed on that point.
“Do you know what’s really bad about him?”
Han Yeoreum blushed and looked at Kim Mugong.
“What is it?”
Beatrice placed her hands on her chin, her eyes shining.
“Uselessly nice. They accept everything I say.”
“Is it like that?”
“You keep making me look forward to it. Bad baby. Silly. Dummy.”
“I don’t think junior Kim Moo-gong doesn’t have a heart either, right?”
“Wrong? Pup. Let me tell you something for sure I think you still see me as a child.”
Midsummer tilted her head and pursed her lips.
“Seeing such a mature junior?”
“Puha… It’s the same this time too. Looking at me and telling me to wait. I can help too.”
“You seem to think of Midsummer juniors as precious. You probably don’t like it when you kill people.”
If it is ‘this time’, it is an incident related to blood ties.
Contrary to the smile on her lips, Beatrice’s yellow eyes shone coldly.
Hehe… Is it wrong?”
Midsummer laughed, as if she liked her words.
‘It’s a weakness.’
I guessed it at first glance, but the more I listened to it, the more I felt like I discovered Kim Moo-gong’s definite weakness.
Beyond a simple yin-yang union partner, a deep bond existed between the two.
Rather, to the extent that they seem more sticky than ordinary lovers.
That’s what Beatrice felt.
She glanced at Kim Mu-gong and thought.
Midsummer was present in a corner of his gaze even as he went around saying hello.
‘It won’t be easy.’
However, the weakness is only when we assume the ‘enemy of the blood bridge’ Kim Moo-gong.
For Beatrice, who wanted to make him her own, midsummer was like a solid steel wall.
“Come on, take a cool drink and shake it off.”
Beatrice said as she repoured her empty glass.
“Kim Mu-gong, you bastard…!”
Bang. Midsummer shouted, putting the glass down violently.
For an instant, the son-in-law became quiet and his eyes focused on this direction.
“Brother, calm down.”
“I’m the only one…!”
This time a little smaller than before.
Midsummer spit out with a twisted tongue.
Of course, among the student council executives gathered here, no one was so low-level that they couldn’t hear it.
“Yumma, how much have you been drinking?”
Immediately, Mu-gong Kim approached and sighed deeply.
“You were wrong.”
Midsummer pursed her lips and turned her head away.
“I’m sorry, senior. I’ll take him.”
“Yes, he drank it in a row without stopping.”
Beatrice gave a gentle smile.
“The kid who doesn’t drink much… Hey, wake up.”
With Midsummer’s arms folded, Kim Mu-gong went outside.
“Hmm, shouldn’t I have fed him in moderation?”
Mo Yong-seong, who had approached Beatrice’s side, spoke scathingly.
“But your junior’s reaction is so cute.”
“…Next time, I’ll have to make a bet to get rid of the poison before I get drunk. I said it was forbidden for no reason.”
“Ah, why are you wasting money? Would you like a drink too?”
“Done. It’s something that the organizer of the meeting shouldn’t do.”
Mo Yong-seong expressed her refusal with her undisturbed attitude.
“Chit, as expected, the president isn’t having fun.”
“What kind of fun do you need? Vice-president, do your job well like a vice-president.”
“Yes, I will follow your orders.”
Beatrice furrowed her brow and answered roughly.
***
I took the swaying Midsummer up to the roof of the building.
He sat in the shelter provided on the roof and gently stroked Midsummer’s back.
Under the softly shining moonlight, the light that was lighter than the street lamp was full everywhere.
Somehow, the staff saw us and told us to go to the rooftop.
I guess it was for this reason.
When I asked what kind of rooftop it was with a dangerously drunk kid, it was a place decorated with the feeling of a rooftop cafe.
Midsummer looked at me and narrowed her eyes, then munched her lips.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“I’m the only one…!”
“Why did you do that from earlier?”
“I get sick when I see pretty girls.”
“Never.”
“Taking my baby.”
Midsummer pounded my chest with her head as she smelled of her alcohol.
“Yumma, what if someone hears it?”
“I don’t know. Listen.”
“You will regret it 100 percent when you wake up.”
“…I’m not going to wake up.”
“Drive it out with your inner air, quickly. It’s a meeting, isn’t it a nuisance?”
“No. There can be just the two of you like this.”
She looked at the blue eyes fiercely looking up at me, and was speechless for a moment.
Is it because of the lighting, or is it because he has a good complexion because of the alcohol?
You looked strangely pretty today.
I wondered if I was drunk, so I contemplated my inner self, but as expected, the sun retardation and the heavenly demon god didn’t allow the alcohol to eat away at me.
The incoming footsteps were automatically disassembled and burned.
“Let’s go over there.”
Midsummer took her hand and moved to her long bench.
Then I lay down on my knee as a pillow.
Midsummer, who had been lying comfortably for a while, opened her mouth.
“You know.”
“What?”
Her midsummer expression was hidden behind her long hair.
“I like you.”
“…Drank a lot.”
“Don’t talk back…”
Instead of answering, he carefully stroked Midsummer’s hair.
He’s not an idiot, and there’s a hint in every single action, but he can’t be unaware.
But.
It was still premature.
If I’m sure I can survive in this gutter world.
Let’s defer the answer until then.
“Later.”
“You’re really… A bad guy…”
Lying in a drunken state, perhaps drowsiness was pushing in, and the midsummer’s voice gradually lost strength.
“Sorry.”
“I always say I’m sorry… This… Bad…”
The words of Midsummer, which had been muttering softly, were suddenly cut off, and soon only the sound of her breathing could be heard from her lap.
***
Next day.
“What did I do yesterday? Did you make a mistake?”
Midsummer grabbed her hair and widened her eyes.
Yesterday Midsummer fell asleep on my lap until her meeting was finally over.
Of course, I didn’t attend the training this morning.
We met before the start of class like this, but it seems that yesterday’s memory has been completely blown away.
Maybe I was lucky enough to see it.
“No. After drinking hard with the vice president, I just fell asleep.”
“Really?”
Midsummer squinted her eyes and sent her suspicious glances.
“Well, who drinks like that? What if I drink until the film ends?”
“No, why did I do that? I mean, I really didn’t want to drink.”
“Next time, if you think it’s just weird, turn it around.”
“I will. Oh, my head hurts so much…”
“It’s still before class starts, so at least have breakfast. I will protect you.”
“Ugh.”
Like midsummer, I went to a pavilion nearby and sat down.
Soon after, Midsummer, who had driven away her poison with a brief fortune-telling breakfast, woke up with a brisk expression.
“Are you okay?”
“Yass. The luck brunch effect is certain.”
“Then let’s go to class. Drink this.”
“As expected, Kim Mu-gong has a sense.”
She handed over a pre-prepared hydration drink and headed to class.
Today’s class was the ‘Erosion Zone Practice Pre-Explanation’ class.
Before the evaluation of the uninhabited island, the cadets had to go through one more stage of practice.
Erosion zone practice.
It wasn’t exactly the erosion zone on the front line, but it was an artificially blocked training area.
Still, an erosion zone is an erosion zone.
It wasn’t absolutely safe.
There are two professors in charge of the class.
It was Professor Chung-ha and an unknown professor.
The nameless professor stared at us from behind silently as usual.
Of course, the explanation went to Professor Chungha.
“The place to practice this time is the blockade area near Kaesong. Originally, it should be completely restored, but it is an area that was partially blocked off and left for the training of cadets.”
Professor Chungha displayed the Kaesong blockade area on the screen and explained step by step.
In the face of the collapse of China, which looked after it, there was no way that North Korea in this world would be fine.
The North Korean region, which collapsed much earlier than China and became a demon cave, was being restored step by step with the support of unmanned people.
Thanks to this, we have now succeeded in pushing the front line to the vicinity of Pyongyang.
If it was individuality, of course it was far from the front line.
“This area is periodically cleared by the military. You will be participating in regional clearing operations with the military.”
Just as the unmanned has the role of the unmanned, the military has the role of the military.
Because the number of warriors with outstanding talent was always in short supply.
There were too many low-level monsters for the unmanned to handle.
While listening to the class with some interest.
A familiar beep sounded.
‘Again.’
I’m glad I did.
When I opened the status window, as expected, a new file came to mind.
『Patrol Diary
X Month XX 22:00 PM
Reporter: ■■■■
Received a report that a soldier in charge of Area R was missing in the sewerage in the Kaesong blockade area, and searched inside.
Found nothing inside the sewer.

…At any rate.
There is no way to go over smoothly.
“if im sure I can survive in this world”
