Chapter 509 – Pocket Girls
『Seongil-nim~ Hello~! I’m Perisha~ Are you doing well on your trip…? *It’s really cloudy here.*』
“…”
The appearance of a familiar name. And when a password is written in the message to be used in case of a bad situation, Seong-il frowns and moves to the shower room.
『What are you doing?』
『Ah~ You must be so cold~! Weren’t we having a flirtation? *I want to see you.* But it’s a pity that you’re on a trip~
‘I think it’s really urgent…? Even requesting a contact.’
Patricia did not use this kind of password in order not to be intercepted by the Hyperdan. However, for some reason, today she urgently wrote her password one after another, so I think I should meet her quickly on her last day.
‘It’s really uncomfortable that I can’t express myself so directly. Shelter, of course, always have to be careful of wiretapping by the hyper team… Really…’
Thinking so, Seong-il calmly uses another password to Patricia and gives her instructions to come to the place she promised in advance.
『Haha… I will. I miss the *place we used to take a walk* in the past. I had a lot of fun there.”
“Hey, it was. Um~ I think I should go for a walk thinking about that time~ See you after the trip~”
A moderate level of regards, nothing particularly strange. However, information about her rendezvous was hidden in the contents.
‘Shall we go?’
Seong-il, who cast 『The Gate of the Transcendentalist』 On the ruins that held Patricia in the past. After giving Hana an excuse to exercise, he leaves the room for a while, and moves to the real Pineapple House to quickly meet Patricia.
『Door of Transcendence: This ability uses the 3 doors on the 3rd floor of the Pineapple House.
If you return to reality at the point in the game world you want to save and enter the game world through the transcendental door, the location is permanently saved. After that, you can freely teleport to that location through the door at any time.
(Reset cooldown for 30 days for each door, registration and entry are possible regardless of any world.)』
“It’s been a long time since I’ve used this door.”
For a while, Seong-il scattered save points throughout the alchemy world to ensure the safety of Pirina.
However, now that Pirina is no longer being chased, and since she has become her own follower and can escape to a safe place at any time, her holy day has been divided and changed to different game worlds. It was a situation.
“Shall we go?”
He could have enjoyed it more since he came to reality after a long time, but he was so curious about Patricia’s emergency call that Seong-il immediately entered the Transcendental Gate.
“Ah… I… You’re really here?!”
Patricia looks at her holy day in amazement as her holy day appears before her eyes like a ghost, with a blurry scene of her.
“Shh. Hold my hand.”
“Ah. Yep.”
As much as her surname was her Patricia identity, she didn’t trust her 100% even though he had him subdued. Because of this, he blocks all variables by immediately casting Inner Plane.
“What’s going on?
It is said that there is no big problem here because it was a point that was saved in advance with a big heart, but in order to meet Hana again, Seong-il had to spend additional bloody Transcendental Gate save points in Area C.
So, Seong-il, who felt sorry for that, said in a slightly horny voice to Patricia.
“I… I called Seong-il for something really important!! Trust me…!!”
Seong-il feels Patricia’s sincerity in her voice. Because of this, he asks him with a more relaxed expression.
“What’s going on?”
“Yeah… Sooner or later, the boss’s bodyguards are going to step in and kidnap one of the key people in the shelter.”
“What?”
The shocking story of Patricia. When Seong-il stands in a daze for a moment, shocked by the appearance of a shocking event that has never been seen in the original work, she misunderstands the reaction and tries to make an excuse for herself.
“Ji… It’s true!! The instructions came down… The officers of each district all at once asked to find out if a certain shelter scientist was in the district they were in charge of and report it.”
“…Exactly who did you ask me to check?”
“Dr. June, who was active in the B-02 Shelter.”
“!!!!”
Patricia’s remarks were even more shocking. Seong-il feels a chill run down his spine at the story.
‘Could it be… Because of that remark I made at the C-01 gym…?’
Seong-il’s conversation with Su-yeon passes by like a kaleidoscope.
『…Is this place where there is a security problem?』
“I wonder…? This is a place where I fight with the trainers who come to challenge me. Security equipment is often broken because machines are often exposed to physical shocks as well as psionic energy.”
Obvious mistakes of their own. Seong-il bites her lips hard and reproaches herself when the incident seems to have occurred because of a secret she uttered in order to escape the situation and because the gym directors are trustworthy people.
“Damn it…”
Although she may not be at fault because her exact background has not yet been revealed, Seong-il is certain that this case was triggered by her own remarks unconditionally.
‘Unconditionally, I must have said something in the gym at that time and the problem occurred. Otherwise, the emotion wouldn’t have warned me like that.’
After organizing her thoughts like that, Seong-il looks at her Patricia and asks her.
“Where is Dr. June now? Is he still in Area B?”
As Patricia is the manager of the spy group that collects information on the B-sector shelter, Seong-il thinks that she knows about Dr. Jun’s whereabouts, so he asks a question in a strong tone.
“No…? I know you left after you said you were attending a seminar a while ago.”
“Where!?”
“I… I don’t know either…!! That was before I received the order~!
“Did you see?”
“…I didn’t go to the seminar. The content was confidential, so I couldn’t look into it with my identity.”
At Patricia’s words, Seong-il feels her annoyance and relief at the same time.
“Huh… That means that Hyperdan doesn’t know Dr. Jun’s whereabouts yet.”
“Isn’t it?”
“…What?”
At Patricia’s words that she doesn’t know herself and that other characters will take his position, she stares at her with a puzzled expression.
“Hehe…!! You… Don’t be like that~! I’m a mid-level executive at best, so the information I can freely browse is limited to area B! I will definitely be suspected of being a double agent by the organization!! Trust me!!”
Patricia trembled in fear and desperately made excuses to her Seong-il, probably because she was afraid that her Seong-il would activate the blood grievances hidden in her body out of resentment. Then, she asks if a good idea came to her while looking at her holy day.
“Ah!! Come to think of it, isn’t Seongil-nim close with Dr. Jun? I think you can just call him directly…”
“Ah…”
Come to think of it, Patricia’s advice is so obvious. Seong-il panics for a second and realizes that she has done something like an idiot.
“Ho… You won’t scold me, will you?”
“Why are you scolding me? I have to praise you. Anyway, thank you. You gave me really important information. I’ll give you a prize.”
“Ah… No!! Thanks to the ruins information Seongil-nim gave me a while ago, I’ll be able to get promoted sooner or later. Compared to that…”
“Ha ha. It’s okay, take this.”
At this time, Patricia, who flatters herself for wanting everything, throws another piece of historical site information to Patricia.
“Wow…!!”
The appearance of Seong-Il trembling as if he would punish her a little while ago is nowhere to be seen, and Patricia makes a confused expression at the information he gave her.
“…Don’t report it to the organization too quickly. Use it in a month or two. If it’s too fast, you’ll get suspicious.”
“Of course!! Just leave it to me!!”
Patricia nodded her head in agreement with Seongil’s words. She shows off her figure by secretly unbuttoning her shirt along with her strange expression, perhaps to buy favors on her holy day.
“Since you came… Once…?”
Well-groomed skin and beautiful abs. Although Seong-il was blinded by Patricia’s figure, he said while defeating her because of her urgent situation.
“Next time. I don’t know what will happen to Dr. June, but I have no time to enjoy myself.”
“Ah~ well… If that’s the case…”
Patricia put on a slightly regretful expression. Seong-il ignores her and uses her inner plane to return to her world of Pocket Girls.
“…If there’s anything unusual, report it to me like this case, okay?”
“Of course!! Don’t worry!”
“Okay.”
After that, Seong-il disappears like a ghost before Patricia’s eyes. At the mysterious sight, Patricia recoils and thinks of something. After a while, Patricia puts the materials he gave her into her arms and starts to leave.
Wheein!!!
‘Take it… Take it…!!’
Once again, Seong-il arrived at the inn where he and Hana were staying by using the [Transcendentalist’s Gate]. He picks up his phone and frantically calls Dr. June.
“Hmm…? Hello…?”
A familiar voice coming from the phone. Seong-il is relieved by the fact and talks to him.
“Doctor. How are you?”
『Ah, is it holy day? What are you doing at this hour?”
‘…What should I answer?’
Seong-il called him urgently, but he didn’t think about the conversation beforehand. Therefore, he ponders what to ask to find out where Dr. Jun is without suspicion.
‘Ah…!! Let’s use it…!!’
As Seong-il is driven into an urgent situation, he thinks desperately and comes up with a good idea. He brings up Kyuhyun’s name out of the blue, and he tells her that he has been exploring the ruins.
『…So, I am currently in a situation where I have been handed over the latest aircraft capable of producing nanomachines.』
“What!?”
“Really!! If you get help from this friend, wouldn’t it be possible to mass-produce the nanomachines necessary for the awakening of existing superpowers?! What do you think?!”
“Surely…”
Dr. Jun muttered in a very interesting tone, perhaps sympathizing with Seong-il’s words. At that tone, Seong-il quickly continued as if he did not know anything.
『Just in time, director Kyuhyun gave me a submersible in exchange for this exploration!! Because of this, I can go back to Area B right away without the help of the regular line, can I visit you?! It can arrive tomorrow at the latest.”
『Um…Really? If so, there’s nothing wrong with that. However, right now I am not in Area B.』
‘Done!!!’
Seong-il, where Dr. Jun obediently cheers his rice cake into the material. In the meantime, the doctor calmly begins to reveal his location.
『…I’m on my way to the shelter in Area E to share the results I’ve gained this time with the other doctors.』
“Oh yeah? Then you are now in Area E, right?”
“No? It’s still Area C-02. I also started my journey a few days ago. As you know, regular ships have fixed departure dates…”
‘C-02!!!’
Perhaps by a twist of fate, Dr. Jun arrived at the area he originally wanted to go to. At the good news, Seong-il said with a twinkle in his eyes.
“Then…!! How about seeing you tomorrow? I also have to go to the C-02 Shelter for the pilgrimage!! I want to show you the submersible too…!!』
Seong-il acts like a child who wants to show off his new toy. Dr. Joo-jun, who found it interesting, replies in a humorous tone.
『Haha… He’s really good too. Okay, come The location of my accommodation is…』
Dr. June calmly reveals his position. After hearing all the information, Seong-il urgently wakes up Hana sleeping in the dorm.
“Ugh…? What the heck…? Let’s do it now? I’m tired…”
Hana mistakenly thinks that the reason Seong-il woke her up was to enjoy sex. Seong-il corrects her misunderstanding.
“No. Dr. Jun called me. I think we have to go quickly.”
“Eek?! What?! At this hour?!”
To her bewilderment, her holy day deceives her by showing her a prefabricated message.
“Hey… You said you wanted to see Edward? He happened to be staying at Shelter C-02, where we were going.”
“Yeah. After we said we got the sub, he asked if we could come right away.”
“Haa… I can’t help it…”
“Be patient. Edward will drive the car anyway. You can get a good night’s sleep there.”
“Yeah. I see. If it’s like that… I’ll prepare it now.”
So Seong-il takes her Hana and moves her body to Shelter C-02, which is effectively her last gym.
