Chapter 251 – Pocket Girls
“…In the meantime, let’s go get it! I’ll take the girl! You’ll take the boy!”
“Ooh…!! Okay!! Let’s go!! Let’s go!! I know the way to the ruins!”
Seong-il heads to the historic site with such an excited Hana.
“Ugh… It’s a very spooky area.”
“Isn’t it? This area used to be a pretty huge city.”
“Hehe… I see.”
Buildings of an unusual scale even to see on Seongil. Despite being devastated by a huge war, it still boasted its size.
‘…The problem is that this place is in an atmosphere where ghosts are likely to come out at any moment.’
With ruthlessly destroyed and possibly collapsing buildings, a thoroughly polluted environment, and rampant psionic disease, the area has become uninhabitable, leaving the area grotesquely empty without a single ant nest. .
“What… No animals?”
“…So the people from the shelter in area B say this place is a cursed area.”
“It’s a fitting name.”
“Yeah. Everyone seems to think that way when they come here…”
Half-broken factories and asphalt roads with only fragments visible. As she continues to walk down that path, Hana seems to start to feel more and more afraid, so she sticks close to Seong-il and talks to him.
“Uh… It’s a bit scary for us to go alone, but why don’t we just go back?”
“…I have to walk for half a day from now to get to Shelter B-01 anyway, but it’s already afternoon. The sun will set in a few hours, so even if we go back now, we’ll have to camp here anyway?”
“Heeing… I guess I asked to come for no reason.”
“No. This kind of adventure is essential to broaden knowledge anyway.”
“It is, but…”
“If you’re really uncomfortable with that, let’s stop by just one place.”
“A place? Where? You’ve been here for the first time. Is there a place you can guess…?”
‘Oops!’
Of course, one that tried to explore every nook and cranny of the area. However, when Seong-il, who has been here for the first time, mentions a specific place, he expresses that he doesn’t understand.
However, Seong-il, who has smirked around all kinds of game worlds, responds to her with a nonchalant expression.
“Ah, I was chatting with Dr. Lowe a few days ago and heard about unusual places and powerful psychics who often appear there.”
“Ahang~! Where is it?”
“…Do you know about the only high-rise building in this industrial complex?”
“Ah!! There?! If it’s there, it’s quite a famous place, so I know!!”
‘I guess so. Even in the original work, you guided the main character and took him there.’
In the original story, the main character stopped by the B-01 Shelter to have a confrontation with the director, and after completing several quests, he was able to obtain information about the high-rise building from the director.
And after knowing that information, she could move to the place when she met Hana, but Seong-il skipped the intermediate step because he was already familiar with the quest.
They walk a long way. Hana walking while standing in front of Seong-il looks at the map stored on her smartphone and guides him somewhere.
“I found it!! It’s here!!”
And the appearance of the destination that finally appeared in front of them. Seong-il looks at the hideous building and thinks.
‘…It’s filthy and heinous. If you look at it objectively, it’s just a half-damaged high-rise building. Why does it give off such an atmosphere?’
The gloomy appearance, as if an evil spirit would come out of it, made even Seong-il, who had been trained through many experiences, cower for a moment.
“Ugh…!! I can’t! Come out! Black!!”
Hana, perhaps frightened by that appearance, takes out a ball from her bosom and summons her partner, Black. Seeing that, Seong-il also took out the red that he had put in the ball for a while.
“Eww…”
Red trembles with the energy radiating from the vicious structure he sees as soon as he comes out of the ball. Seong-il pats her on the back lightly to reassure her.
“Don’t worry. I’m here.”
“Huh!”
‘…What part of me does he trust me like this?’
Although grateful, Seong-il felt embarrassed by Red’s excessive trust. After lightly stroking Red’s puppy-like hair, he secretly takes out the jewelry he prepared from her bosom.
‘Hmm… Shall I use an alter ego to explore the surroundings…?’
It took a little bit of work to have one, but it seemed a bit daunting for the four of them to search through this wide, old, and dangerous building, so Seong-il decided to take a little gamble.
“One, wait a minute.”
“Huh?! Why!? Where are you going?!”
“No, that’s not it, wait a minute…”
“Hee!! I… It’s a bit scary to be alone with Black…”
“…Don’t worry, Red will be here to protect you.”
“Eh? Is that okay?”
Hana is puzzled when Seong-il tells her that she is leaving her partner, Red, to go see errands alone.
Seong-il smiles lightly at her response, then raises her hand and lifts a rolling stone into the air.
“!!”
“Dr. Low gave me an artificial psychic flowering procedure as a reward for my achievements at the A-02 Shelter this time.”
“Heheh?!”
“I can only barely use telekinesis, the most basic of the psychic powers… Anyway, I’m a psychic, so I can protect at least one part of my body. So don’t worry. If you have to, I’ll also have a yellow one…”
“Um… Then…”
“And I’m going to go to the corner for a while, I’m not going far…”
After reassuring Hana like that, Seong-il quickly goes to a secluded corner of the building and uses the jewel that puts her magical power into it to create four alter egos in an instant.
“Children! Search around here! Then, if anything unusual happens, contact me immediately.”
“Okay!”
‘…Is my vocabulary better than last time?’
Previously, at best, “Yes!” I thought I would be able to do it, but when the alter ego writes a new word, Seong-il looks at them with an interesting expression.
‘It is said that the more you use it and get used to it, the better your clone’s abilities will be, so I guess I’ll have to keep using it.’
After completing all the preparations, Seong-il returns to the party waiting for him.
“Are you coming soon?”
“Yes. It’s small…”
“Puhaha. Anyway! Let’s find it quickly!”
“Okay!”
Pretending not to know anything, Seong-il takes one word and looks around.
‘Hmm… I remember the kids hiding somewhere underground…’
Although he is familiar with the map, he cannot easily find a trace because the difference between the crude 2D graphics and the actual game world is so great.
‘It’s filthy big… In the game, at best, it was a small field that could be seen at a glance…’
Seong-il wanted to leave this hideous place as soon as possible because the time for the sun to set soon was approaching. In the meantime, one of the clones sends him a signal.
“…!!”
“Hanaya! This way!! Red! Let’s go!!”
“Uh…?!”
The party is taken aback by Seong-il calling himself out of the blue and running like mad to somewhere.
However, even for a moment, when Red starts running along Seongil like a bullet at his command, Hana and her partner Black, who saw it, also start running after them.
‘The alter ego’s signal is gradually weakening. I see you’re under attack…?’
Seong-il, who is in a hurry at the signal of an alter ego that seems to be extinguished at any moment, starts running quickly by spreading the wind god that he learned in the martial arts world not long ago.
“It’s worth it…!!”
He was so fast that Red, who was following him, could not catch up and called him in a voice full of embarrassment.
“Red, come back to the ball!”
Seong-il ran to death with the embarrassed Red on his cheek. A large vacant lot pops up in front of him.
“Ah… This is…!!”
Although it was overwhelmingly grander than the game, the exterior of the clearing definitely felt familiar. Seong-il realizes that he has come to the right place.
“Here!! Here!!”
And the alter ego screaming at such a holy day to die. As soon as Seong-il hears the voice, he uses the divine law to move to the corresponding place in an instant.
“…!!”
And the appearance of a beautiful girl and a beautiful boy appearing in front of him. Pink hair and light blue hair, which can never be found in real life, were impressive.
‘…The pink hair is female.’
Did you just turn 20? A woman with an attractive body and white jade-like skin looked very attractive with a fresh look.
‘Why is he so handsome…’
And the appearance of a sky-blue haired male who looks like her twin brother. His appearance, which has the charm of a boy and an adult at the same time, was one that any woman would look at without realizing it.
“Chehehe…!!”
Seong-il fell in love with the looks of the two siblings for a moment and was mesmerized. The alter ego that was being attacked by them emits a painful moan, then explodes in the air with a “Pop”.
‘Is it gravity manipulation…?’
Being restrained in midair and suffering, an alter ego whose mana has been blown away. Seong-il realizes that the ability was used by a woman who is his younger sister.
‘The woman used gravity manipulation, and the man used magnetic field manipulation, right?’
In addition to that, two siblings who were able to use some minor abilities. When Seong-il’s alter ego disappears, the two start glaring at Seong-il, frowning.
“Here… My house… You… Get out…”
“Ohh… You talk quite a bit, don’t you?”
In general, the stronger the ability, the worse the deterioration of intelligence is in the world of Pocket Girls. Among them, the ability to talk was one of the most critical abilities.
Even though communication should be almost impossible because of his strong ability, when the man seems to be able to talk quite a bit, Seong-il feels curious about his appearance.
However, the curiosity is also short-lived. He takes out a ball, summons Red, and draws out his inner energy.
“Red. Enemy! Prepare for battle.”
“Huh!”
Red, who came out of the ball, might be taken aback by Seong-il’s sudden order, but he doesn’t show the slightest doubt and takes a combat stance as he ordered.
‘…He’s strong.’
Seong-il feels strangely satisfied with her attitude of absolute obedience to her own orders. And at the same time, she draws out the energy inside her body and assumes a fighting stance.
‘I can’t show my ability to one, so I’ll do my best to subdue the two at once!’
After a long time, Seong-il took the ceremony of launching the bankruptcy priesthood. He thought about using the cursed sword for a while, but decided to use martial arts because the sword could accidentally kill them both.
“Ugh…!!”
And, as if Seongil’s fighting moves were annoying, the man who seemed to be his brother gritted his teeth and raised his hand to try to do something to Seongil.
‘…I can feel it.’
Sensations sharpened by 『Sensation』. Seong-il felt something flying from behind him, so he rushed at him at breakneck speed using the wind wave and started ordering Red.
“Red! Watch your back!”
“Huh!”
Red creates a shield using telekinesis instead of flame manipulation, which is his main skill. When Seong-il realizes she is safe, she relents and lunges at her man.
“Cheey!”
And, as if that appearance was annoying, the man shows dislike and glances at his younger brother standing next to him. Seeing that look in his eyes, the younger brother nodded his head lightly, then raised his hand and projected something on Seongil’s feet.
‘Heung… It’s like this for me who was trained by Ahyeon Lee…’
Seong-il felt his legs become heavy momentarily. He instinctively realizes that this ability is a woman’s gravity manipulation.
However, an ordinary person should have collapsed on the floor immediately, but Seong-il, whose physical ability is so strong that it is difficult to see him as a human being, was only able to withstand that level of disability.
‘…Legendary characters who gave me at best! I’ll break it in an instant!’
Seong-il, who applied a strength buff on his gloves and lightly released the enemy’s gravity manipulation using improved acceleration, appears in front of the man’s nose in an instant with his ignorant physical abilities.
“Heheh?!”
And the man, who had never seen such an enemy before, let out a frightened moan, and Seong-il began to blow his ignorant power at him.
“Profit!!”
And seeing her brother’s crisis, the woman gritted her teeth and raised her hand to her Seongil, desperately trying to slow her Seongil’s offensive.
Quaang!!
“Kuu…!!”
However, as if to ridicule such a woman’s attempt, her red, who was far away from her, made a large ball of fire from her hand and started pouring it on her. Rush to put on
“Nice job! Red!!”
After vehemently praising Red, Seong-il begins to swing his fists with tremendous power in the man’s face.
