Chapter 25 – Chapter 25
Ahn So-ra, team leader.
Among the F-level team leaders at my company who are two years older than me, she is the most veteran woman.
When I was still the assistant to the team, we only went on an away trip together once.
I remember being moved by the way the seniors handled everything as if they were kindergarten children, who were fluent in everything and who only had personality traits despite their lack of skills.
After that, she became close with her senior and occasionally gave her dating advice while drinking soju.
Mostly, when I asked a question, the senior would answer.
Well, it wasn’t easy to follow the advice of my seniors, so my relationship ended up like this.
“Senior. I’m really glad you’re safe.”
I couldn’t see his senior’s unique glasses everywhere, but fortunately, he was fine with no injuries anywhere.
I wanted to ask what happened in the dungeon right away, but she shut her mouth after checking her expression.
First of all, we have to settle her senior and find other people in our company as well.
For that, I only asked one thing first.
“Are all the people in our company all right?”
The senior had no answer.
Even now, as special transport machines and people are pushed out from beyond the gate, it was only after I gave them my seat that I heard an answer.
“Sorry.”
The old man just kept saying he was sorry.
It seems that stability is the priority right now.
Mental problems also cannot be treated with Hilo, so I urgently called the medical team.
I thought I should send my senior to the hospital quickly.
In the meantime, there was an uproar here and there, and officials at the gate management office were busy counting the damage.
And no matter who called, suddenly the families of the victims came in, so there was no chaos in the area.
Rather, it was more strange that it was quiet yesterday.
For dozens of minutes, suffocating tension prevailed.
Whether each company’s employees and Awoken are alive or dead.
Excluding the Diamond Guild, our company and Shinbaram had to find out whether the employees of the equipment carriers who participated in the expedition were alive or dead.
Of course, there were people from the company side, but the situation was serious to distinguish such things and argue about tomorrow.
After some time passed, the whole area became quiet as if it were a lie that there had been such a commotion.
All the survivors have already left for the hospital, but that’s not why it’s so quiet.
“I will announce it now!”
The number of survivors, wounded and dead.
A briefing on the current state of the damages compiled by the government began.
In the otherwise quiet area, only the sound of the camera flash firing reverberated loudly.
Here’s a summary of the government’s official announcement:
Diamond Guild E-Class Dungeon Expedition Team Survival of 2 Awakeners. 1 person seriously injured. 3 deaths.
All 7 people, including other management and equipment staff, died.
All 5 awakened people in Shinbaram Co., Ltd. Died.
All three employees died. All three employees of the equipment carrier were killed.
And finally, our company has one Awoken survivor. 3 deaths.
One hauler worker survived. 1 death.
Team leader An So-ra, an employee, survives. Miyeon Kim survived. ]]
A total of 11 Awoken were killed, and 14 non-Awakened were killed.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this level of human casualties was the greatest damage ever among incidents and accidents that occurred in E-class or lower dungeons.
Even among the survivors, it was a situation where it was unknown when the deaths would be added.
In particular, one of the Awakeners of the Diamond Guild was severely injured.
Under the circumstances, he seemed to be Lee Dae-man’s younger brother, but he prayed in his heart that he would not die.
Senior Ahn So-ra and Kim Mi-yeon of our company were fortunately safe, but they seemed to need to stabilize their mind and body.
When I saw them for the first time, it was really terrible to see that my whole body was covered with the ooze and pollen I knew, and even blood.
It was a miracle that ordinary people were alive in a situation where Awakeners were dying, and I could sympathize with how much they struggled to survive.
Because I did too.
That’s how the situation was roughly finished, and it was late Saturday night, and I could barely go back home.
I was extremely sensitive to the news of multiple deaths and even some dead bodies.
It was to the point that we broke up without leaving anything to say to Yu Da-jeong, so I said everything.
I was worried if I would be able to sleep well tonight.
And fuck
I have to go to work tomorrow too.
Because the company is in a complete emergency.
* * *
Arriving at the apartment with a tired body, I found someone crouching in front of my door waiting.
I don’t know who it is, but I hope he has nothing to do with me.
Without religion, they approached the sky, begging and begging again and again.
I got so close to check it out, and what the fuck.
Of course, Kim I-sol, not anyone else, was there.
It’s the sky, it’s God, and fuck it.
Kim I-sol, who seemed to be asleep, squatted down and was as quiet as a mouse.
I didn’t want to deal with this sensitive situation until two years ago.
So I was thinking of opening the door very gently, but is that as easy as it sounds?
Kim, who immediately sensed it, flinched and trembled with her body, then lifted her head and glared at me.
Because of how much sleep I had, the black dark circles under my eyes were as thick as if someone had drawn them as a joke.
“Ha…”
When I met her eyes with her, I couldn’t help but sigh.
However, I thought it would be counterproductive if I treated her carelessly, so I kindly opened my mouth.
I’ve done this far, but if it’s going to suck, then I’m really sure.
“Isol Kim. Why are you sleeping in a place like this? How did you know about my house?”
“…”
“Tell me something. It looks like you’ve been waiting for me. What’s the reason? The company meeting is on Monday, but it’s Saturday night now.”
“Why… You chewed up my message.”
It was like a poison frog talking.
How long she hadn’t spoken, her dry throat was drawing in her head.
“I’m sure you found out about it from my contact company, right? So, haven’t you heard? About the Mars Gate incident.”
“I know. But why did you chew my message?”
Her low pitched voice was different.
Kim I-sol, whom I thought would always scream and put on an arrogant expression, was completely dry.
Not only her voice, but her eyes, lips, body, and demeanor all dried up and seemed about to crumble.
“People have died. Both Awoken and ordinary people… In our company, three Awoken and one carrier employee died. Would you have had time to hold onto the phone in such a situation?”
“You didn’t even rescue it.”
“I was distracted. And she usually doesn’t read text messages. But what happened to Lee Sol? What’s wrong with her body?”
“…”
Oh, I know, but I thought it would be so hard to pretend not to know.
Even the party who made this is me.
I roll her head here and there wondering if this guy could be good, but nothing comes to mind.
He said that he used all his brains from Suwon today.
I was thinking of harassing this bitch a bit more, but seeing her dying face like this made me feel a little pity.
It’s to the extent that I even think about it, it seems that my head is going crazy somewhere because I’m tired.
Well, it’s not just these two years that I’ve been hit with the Awakener’s personality.
“I’m really tired. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I’ll go in first. Goodbye.”
Decided to just ignore it.
I even thought about getting her magic back if she got down on her knees and begged for it, but that was too risky.
It is absurd that the target of exposing my abilities is Kim I-sol, who has no trust in the slightest.
“Wait. I have to say…”
“Yes. Then tell me.”
When I urged her to speak quickly, Isol Kim turned her head from side to side and began to look around her.
And she confirmed that CCTV was installed,
“Not here.”
“Why? CCTV?”
She comes to nod her head.
She wants to send her back quickly, but even if she goes home alone and closes the door, it doesn’t seem like she’ll go back smoothly.
Even if it stays like this until I go to work tomorrow morning, it’s difficult, and there’s no way this bitch is quietly crouching in front of the door when I’m inside.
Rather, I would make a living uproar.
I had no choice but to lead Kim Isol into her house.
Normally, a beauty of my style would be welcomed, but now I can’t find any flair in Kim Isol’s appearance.
No, what am I thinking
I don’t get along well with Kim Isol.
It was humiliating to myself to suddenly feel that this bitch was the opposite sex just because I saw her peeing.
“What do you want to tell me? Is it important enough to avoid CCTV?”
“I’m thirsty.”
Ah it’s annoying.
I put her 1.5 liter of her bottled water in front of her, her whole without her cup.
As soon as Isol Kim saw her water, she opened the lid and started drinking.
I didn’t drink water for how long, so I drank more than half of that large mineral water at once.
It was very surprising that there was no indication of where the lamb had gone into that small body.
The water dripped down her mouth and down her neck.
The drop of water draped once across her collarbone, spun around, and hid under her T-shirt.
She scratched her breast with one hand to see if it tickled her.
“Puha.”
I watched intently as she drank the water.
To the point of puncturing the body.
Isol Kim glared at me as if she was worried about my gaze.
“What are you looking at? It’s the first time you’ve seen someone drink water!?”
Also, that personality didn’t go anywhere.
“Now tell me. What you meant to say.”
“You. Have you not noticed any changes in your body since you broke up with me then?”
“What change?”
“…I’m in serious trouble.”
Don’t you think I did that serious problem?
How stupid are you?
When I came to your house, I thought you were to blame for the disappearance of mana, and I thought you would run to kill me, but this kind of reaction makes me lose my senses.
“What a serious matter.”
“This is absolutely confidential, so don’t tell anyone. If you do, I’ll kill you.”
I barely hid my expression and nodded.
I decided to observe how it came out while pretending.
“I… Have a strange body. I can’t feel mana anymore, and I can’t even use the awakened power.”
“What do you mean? Since when?”
“From the time I met you in the underground parking lot.”
It’s a bummer to meet.
As he dragged it by force.
Anyway, the awakened guys have a special DNA that remembers only what is advantageous to them.
“So what?”
“What?”
“So what do you want me to do?”
“…”
Kim I-Sol shut her mouth and began to stare hard at me.
Didn’t she sympathize with her own plight?
The originally somewhat cold eyes, sharpened even more, seemed like they were going to eat me.
But now I’m not afraid at all.
Min Hyuk-joo, who was the elite of the academy, was also like that to me.
What are you going to do in the yard where you’re from scraps and you’ve lost your magic power?
Kim E-sol, who had kept her mouth shut, opened her mouth again.
“I think it has something to do with you. It’s been like this ever since you… Held my… Hand.”
“Huh? Hand? Oh, that one? That’s because Mr. Lee Sol said he would come to my house, so she asked me to go with him.”
“My, when will I…”
“Did you forget? He said he wanted to see me pee.”
“Everyone, shut up! There’s no way you want to see something like that!”
Kim Yi-sol, who had always looked down, barely showed a different expression.
A slightly flushed face.
I’ve felt it before, but this bitch has a very strong pride, but also a burning feeling of shame.
And should that look be like Kim I-sol?
She was so different from the way she was at her front door earlier that I had a strong impression that she wasn’t like her at all.
“If Lee Sol doesn’t feel Mana well, she’s saying don’t blame me. If so, can I hold her hand?”
“Mmm… What?”
“I hear you’ve been acting weird since holding my hand. Do you know? If I hold it again, it will return to normal.”
Isol Kim hurriedly avoids my gaze by turning her head.
The fact that her face was very red as if she was drunk made it clear that she was 100% a virgin this year.
