Chapter 640 – 640. State Regression 3
Hold Mina’s hand and read her memories.
Just before the world falls apart. A concert.
Mina, who dances and sings on stage and smiles brightly, looks truly sparkling.
She is a woman who has already received overwhelming love from countless people.
She is still too pretty in my eyes, but just by looking at her then, you can immediately understand why she was so popular.
I can see her shining like that.
Concert. I think it’s probably a stage where each member appears solo.
The fans who were cheering at the previous turn calmed down for a moment from their excitement and cheering when the lights dimmed.
Spotlight turns on. Mina appeared sitting on her chair in the center of the stage.
And Mina’s song begins quietly with a gentle accompaniment.
Calm start. Carefree song lyrics and melody. People are gradually drawn into Mina’s songs.
Because it was her memory, the eyes of countless people looking at her in the darkened audience did not seem clear.
But I could feel it. She is the gaze of thousands and tens of thousands of people looking at her.
Eww. Even though I’m not doing it, my heart is shaking even more.
How on earth can I resist that gaze? If you think about it that way, Mina is a much more amazing woman than I thought.
A song that gets louder and louder. Fans waving glow sticks.
The song gets higher and higher, and the dark stage slowly lights up, and colorful images appear.
A completely brightened stage. A song heading to the climax.
When I stood up and heard Mina’s voice singing with all her heart into her microphone, I almost cried without realizing it.
If it was a stage like this, it would have been nice to see it in person. It would have been better to see Mina singing from her special front row seat.
That’s how Mina’s song ended. Applause, cheers, and impressed expressions.
I finished reading her memory feeling proud after seeing people’s reactions.
Mina looks at me with expectant eyes. Now it’s time to make her go back to the way she was back then.
She let go of her hand and stepped back slightly.
“State regression.”
Immediately the name of the skill came out of my mouth and Mina’s body returned to the past.
“Huh…? Is it happening?”
Se-ah, who was waiting for her next turn, muttered with a questioning look on her face.
Her hair grew longer. Since she has become shorter, it can be assumed that Mina’s body is returning to the past.
And when the change was over, it wasn’t that different from now.
His height doesn’t seem to have changed much, and neither has his body shape. Just a little bit of a youthful look on the face?
“Is it over?”
Mina asks carefully.
“I think so. I don’t think anything has changed much.”
Mina rushes to the mirror and examines herself. After looking at her body here and there, her expression becomes bright.
“I’m really back!”
At the same time, Mina runs to me and hugs me.
Wow. Seventeen-year-old Mina is full of energy. She’s very sporty. Her hair also got a little shorter.
She hugged me and started crying, as expected.
Anna, who knows how she feels, comes over and hugs Mina, who is hugging me, and Mina also hugs Anna.
Two women hug each other like that and start crying.
Seung-hee looks at the scene with sorrow, and Se-ah looks like her heart is racing.
“Me… Me too!”
She usually didn’t seem to care much about her past, but she doesn’t anymore.
After all, there’s no way it wouldn’t have hurt. It would be natural for a woman.
This time she sat down and patted my knee while looking at her child.
She came quickly and sat on her lap without complaining.
“When do you want to go back?”
“3 years ago. February.”
“It’s hard to find a time like that. Was there anything special that happened at that time?”
“Incidence?”
SeAh forgets her words for a moment.
“No. I’m sorry. It’s not a bad memory like that, it’s a memory that can pinpoint that time.”
“Ah… Ah. I understand. You said reading memories is like searching with keywords, right?”
“Oh. That’s right.”
“Then… Read my memory as a frozen meat warehouse in the High-Voltage area. That should be enough.”
After hearing that, I hugged Se-Ah and briefly muttered, “Read her memory.”
A high-cavity frozen meat warehouse? Just hearing those words makes me very curious about what the situation is.
But it was 3 years ago…
She said that about a year before Se-ah met me, she escaped from the department store guys.
It’s been almost a year since we lived together… I guess he was held there for about a year.
But what does Se-Ah look like in the past? I hope there isn’t much difference from now.
Examining Se-Ah’s memories.
High cavity. Frozen meat warehouse. I was able to find my memories quicker than I thought.
Night. SeAh watches a large warehouse from the roof of the building.
After confirming that no one was around until dawn, she quietly went down and opened the lock on the warehouse.
What was in that warehouse was frozen meat.
Seeing that, Se-Ah’s expression brightened, and she whined and grabbed a piece of frozen meat, then went out, fastened her locks again, and carefully left the place.
Se-Ah comes to a place that looks like a family home and looks happy as she defrosts the meat.
I don’t know if it’s healthy meat or not, but Se-ah has fun cooking with it.
And Se-Ah went in and out of the bathroom countless times the next day. It would be a good thing if it ended with just a simple upset stomach. It’s hilarious.
When I finished reading her memory, Se-ah sat on my lap and looked at me.
“There isn’t much difference between then and now.”
“Noisy! Please hurry!”
I put Se-Ah off her lap and immediately write about her condition.
SeAh has no idea what has really changed.
But she seemed to sense that Se-Ah had changed. Joy revealed in facial expressions.
Mina and Anna came and hugged Se-Ah, and the girls who were crying earlier smiled happily this time.
“Uh… Is it over?”
Everyone looks at Seunghee after hearing her words.
“So… I’m the oldest sister here now?”
She says that and everyone makes angry looks. No… Does that happen?
“In terms of physical age, I’m the oldest sister.”
When I said this, everyone looked a little embarrassed, not knowing how to accept this situation.
“The memories are the same, so shouldn’t I think that way?”
Mina speaks cautiously. I guess I don’t want to lose my position as her older sister.
Is it because you were the youngest in a girl group? Feeling a little obsessed?
“But I can call Seunghee unni. Seunghee unnie!”
When Anna called her that, Seunghee hugged her with a cute expression that made her die.
Okay. There’s definitely a part of Anna that’s cute now.
“But… If it makes you younger, shouldn’t it make you taller?”
Se-ah, who can’t feel any change at all, grumbles and says.
“Well, can I combine growth and status recovery? Growth and regression? Hmm… I guess if I mix aging and status recovery, I’ll get older. But I can’t imagine myself getting older. Will the skill be useful?”
“But everyone knows what their original age looks like. Wouldn’t it be possible to increase it to that much?”
“That’s right. It’s possible to get there. But since aging isn’t a regression, I think I’ll age if I just use it.”
In any case, the average age in the bunker was drastically lowered due to a chance combination of skills.
What the. I never thought something like this would be possible.
“But brother.”
“Huh?”
Seunghee looking at me. Why are his eyes open like that? It feels like there’s some shady intention.
“That skill. Can you use it yourself?”
“Huh?”
Everyone looks at me in response to Seunghee’s question.
What… What? Why are they looking like that?
“I also want to see my brother who is in middle school or high school.”
Although Seunghee’s words were thrown lightly, Mina, Se-ah, and Anna seemed to have developed a strange desire upon hearing them.
Especially Se-ah and Anna. The eyes looking at me have become quite sinister. Uh… Isn’t this a little dangerous?
“I… I don’t like it.”
I stuttered without realizing it.
I don’t know what Anna is thinking, but I think I definitely know what Se-ah is thinking.
This guy obviously wants to do something to me who is smaller than I. Look at those eyes.
That’s clearly what he’s thinking.
“Oppa. Um. I have one wish.”
Se-Ah approaches me and holds her hand. The intention is so obvious?
“I won’t.”
“You mean you don’t know what to say?”
“I’d almost have to go back to elementary school to be smaller than you?”
Se-ah looks hurt by those words.
“Ugh… Damn. How did you notice?”
But Mina and Anna’s expressions became more suspicious. Then the two whisper something and Seunghee and Seah join in.
It looks like they are discussing something in depth. This… I feel uneasy about something.
“Everyone is mistaken about something. I have no intention of becoming smaller than I am now. Even if I do, it will be after I learn the skill to return to my original age.”
“Then what should we learn? Growth?”
“I don’t know. I’m not sure if that will happen. Besides, I don’t have any plans to learn about growth yet.”
The women gather again and whisper. This feels a little unsettling.
“I… Am I leaving.”
“Huh!? Where are you going? Don’t go!”
Seunghee holds onto me. And the other three women also grab me.
“I still have a lot of skills to learn. I have to master shields, and then damage reduction. And then I have to learn tracking, and then lightning reflexes…”
“Brother, growth is a necessary skill. What do you think will happen if we can’t find more food? We have to grow it.”
“Then you just have to learn.”
“Ah… That’s right.”
SeAH immediately lowers its tail.
“And I think you’re mistaken. My childhood wasn’t as nice as you thought. It’s no different now.”
“If you’re my brother, I don’t mind what you look like.”
“That’s right. If it’s spring season, yes.”
Mina and Anna’s reaction is like some kind of fanatic. Is it okay to be a little scared of this?
“But… I think it would be nice to have an older brother who is a little older. Around middle age?”
Seunghee and Mina’s eyes suddenly light up at Se-Ah’s words.
These are very… I think I’m showing off my usual delusional abilities.
“Anyway, for the time being, there is nothing to grow or learn. Moreover, there is no guarantee that it will be combined into such a skill.”
“What do you want us to do? You said it only takes two days to learn your skills. It’s true that if you both want something, you have to make a deal. So tell me. If there’s something we can do, we’ll listen. In exchange, you learn to grow too.”
Seunghee speaks confidently. Still, he has a good attitude.
If you want something, instead of asking for it, you offer a reasonable deal. It’s really reasonable.
“Ha. Okay. Then… I’ll think about it until I master the shield. No, I’ll think about it until I master damage reduction.”
“About four days?”
“Uh.”
“Um… I understand. That’s it… It’s not hard to wait.”
Anyway, the story turned quite strange, but it ended well anyway.
The problem is that Mina and Se-ah are looking at me with strange eyes.
“Oh my. Oppa.”
“Huh?”
Mina calling me.
“I have mastered silence.”
What do you want? Weren’t you thinking dirty thoughts? You look like that when you think about skills?
“Oh. Good job. Now, all we have to do is take all the passive skills and seal it. With this, we are all immune from the skill use zone.”
Perhaps if you lined up the people in the world in order of strength, wouldn’t these four be in the top 20?
If you do well, you will be able to fit into the top ten.
Because seals and skill unusable zones are such overwhelming abilities.
“I also became a seal master.”
“Really? Well done. So what do you want to film now?”
This time, Se-Ah’s words. Now that she is free to choose her skills, she can decide her own path.
“I want to vote for that.”
“Oh. Do you want to?”
“Huh. I guess that looks much better. I think it’s right to learn it.”
“Good idea. Then you should also acquire production and manufacturing skills first.”
“In the end, that’s it.”
Are you learning WANT? Then it’s time to tell them everything.
Fortunately, we have also discovered a way to make the body look younger through state regression, so the timing is perfect.
Okay. I can’t put it off any longer. Because I need to know what they know.
