Episode 292
Ep. 292
Seongcheol quickly grabbed Deokhuun’s arm as he tried to unfold the approval documents and explain them in detail.
‘If I’m not careful, I’ll end up having to clean up a corpse in here!’
How could this man so fearlessly blurt out such things in a place like this?
Of course, I could deeply sympathize with his sense of law-abiding spirit and civic consciousness, but Jonggeon and the original members—who were no different from a pride of lions in this safari—were another matter entirely.
If they discovered he’d uncovered their misconduct, they might instantly change their demeanor and turn this poor fellow into a pulp.
“The One-Strike Knight Order!!! Let’s do it, the One-Strike Knight Order!! Let’s prepare right now!!!!”
“??”
Of course, Deokhuun, unaware of his true intentions, simply looked bewildered, wondering why this man was suddenly acting this way.
“Wow~ Honestly, I thought you were being a bit lukewarm about it until just now, but I never knew you wanted to establish a guild so enthusiastically. I’ll gladly honor that intention!”
“Yes, if possible, while it would be presumptuous for me to be the guild master, what if one of Ilgyeok’s two spirits took the position? Ha, I just suddenly had this thought.”
“Well… actually, I have some circumstances right now, so it might be difficult to go that far. I’ll discuss it more carefully with you later.”
“As expected of a true senior who knows how to flexibly revise his own thoughts! You kids, really watch and learn from this!”
“Yeah, I’ll write about it in my diary when I get home today!”
“You still keep a diary?”
“You keep a homework planner, so don’t talk!”
“That… that’s because Mom….”
Seongcheol’s office grew lively again.
Regardless, Deokhuun shook off Seongcheol’s hand and headed toward the bookshelf.
‘Sir, do not cross that river!’
Seongcheol watched his retreating figure with pitying eyes.
The saying goes you dig your own grave—he couldn’t simply stop him!
Yet Jonggeon, who could be called the central figure in all of this, wore an even more composed expression than Seongcheol.
Was it an act?
Or did he truly have no concern about it?
But then.
Click—
“Ah, here it is.”
“?”
Deokhuun casually pulled out a file folder from the bookshelf and extracted a few receipts from it.
“The records of supplies we purchased recently haven’t reached our department yet. I was thinking of sending someone from the accounting team, but since I was already in this area, I came directly.”
“Then you should have said so!”
Seongcheol snapped at Deokhuun with relief at having safely overcome the crisis.
“No, why are you angry at me….”
Deokhuun put on a deliberately hurt expression.
Seongcheol felt a sense of guilt for doing something improper in the land of courtesy and apologized.
“I’m… I’m sorry. I just dislike people touching my things carelessly.”
“Ah, I see. My apologies. I didn’t realize the director personally managed even these things….”
* * *
Suyeon is delighted!
The reason being that today is precisely the day she’d been eagerly anticipating.
…Unfortunately, it wasn’t the day the new season of the magical girl series Cri-Long Cri-Long Elmon was airing.
“When did they finish building this place?”
“We asked the knights to help, and they built it in no time. Hehe.”
It was moving day—right next to Ihyeon’s house!
Now that Ihyeon had entered the 90s and was caught up in his busy schedule, Suyeon had quietly prepared her move to this place.
‘So that’s why he asked me to wait and not enter the tower today.’
Since the construction company(?) was indeed made up of knights, there were quite a few things that differed significantly from earthly architecture, but when I heard the explanation from the squad member who oversaw the construction, everything had its reason.
Whoosh——!!
“…Do we really need traps like this?”
“Of course, Master. The world is dangerous these days. Especially since Suyeon will be living here alone, isn’t she? We’ve equipped all the basic security systems.”
Ihyeon looked uneasy as he watched black spear blades suddenly shoot up from the ground.
Apparently they wouldn’t react to registered mana holders, and they’d activate based on their own judgment of hostility and danger, but I couldn’t bring myself to trust it.
Pababak——!!!
There were also arrow trap barrages that suddenly burst from the walls.
Whoooosh——!!!
And the One-Strike Knight Order’s special hellfire flamethrowers, among other things.
Well, as far as security systems went, they were flawless, but no matter how I looked at it, the whole setup felt ominous.
“Still, we got approval from the management office. When I said I’d install it in my own house, Personnel Manager Baek was actually pleased about it.”
“R-really?”
Clearly, anyone foolish enough to lay a hand on Seo Suyeon, ranked first, deserved a thorough beating.
Whether this qualified as a beating or not was another matter.
“How about we also construct your fortress with the same care, Master?”
“That’s enough.”
Ihyeon flatly rejected the knight’s proposal, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Besides, there were already permanent security personnel stationed there, and who would venture all the way out to this countryside to steal?
‘If those guys got their hands on it, my house would literally turn into a fortress.’
Ihyeon’s house looked perfect as it was.
In any case, the moving company had already transported all the belongings at the management office’s request, and now all that was left was for her to move in and start living here.
“Suyeon could just live at our place.”
“Yeah, we have plenty of spare rooms anyway.”
Minjeong and Donghoo, who had been viewing Suyeon’s new house alongside Ihyeon, expressed their slight disappointment.
“Oh, I can’t impose like that. But since I’m next door now, I’ll come visit often! Here, this is a housewarming cake~”
Suyeon held out the steamed rice cake she’d been carrying to Donghoo and Minjeong.
“My goodness, how long has it been since I’ve seen a housewarming cake?”
“Really now, how did you know I like steamed rice cake? Have fun and enjoy yourselves~ Oh, there’s no need to leave now, is there?”
Their parents waved their hands cheerfully as they headed back home, seemingly indulging in sentiment for the first time in a while.
These three people seemed to have built up a suspicious rapport recently.
Ihyeon spoke as he watched Suyeon glancing around.
“Ah, Jiana and Elsie had some matters to attend to on the 90s floors, so they won’t be here for a while.”
“Huh? What kind of matters?”
Suyeon’s large eyes widened even further.
It was certainly an unusual situation.
Who could have imagined that the spirits bound to my items would become trapped in the tower and unable to leave with me?
After hearing my explanation, Suyeon looked quite disappointed.
“So something like that can happen…”
“Yeah, Erubein probably couldn’t explain it since he doesn’t have a spirit.”
“Still, those two aren’t the type to just sit around and suffer wherever they go. We should be able to meet them again soon, right?”
She was merely disappointed, showing no excessive worry or sadness.
In fact, I now shared Suyeon’s exact sentiment.
‘If anything, I should feel sorry for the monsters on the plains…’
I knew Jiana, Elsie, and Blue’s abilities better than anyone.
And once they decided to rampage, no one could easily stop them.
Worrying about the three of them was actually absurd.
Who knows—when we meet again later, they might be leading an even larger force than my squad, having already pacified the plains.
‘No, those guys would definitely…’
In any case, it wasn’t as though there was no one for Suyeon to play with.
Thanks to the Baikhon bow I’d given her, she’d become the object of infinite affection from horse-type monsters.
Crash—!
“Ugh, argh! Purung Number Four! Where are you going!”
“The Ghost Horses are deserting en masse too!”
…It seemed she was actually suffering from receiving too much affection.
One wall of the stable burst open, and five Purungs along with Ghost Horses came rushing toward Suyeon like arrows, clinging to her.
“There, there. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Have you all been doing well?”
Startled by the sudden charge, Suyeon skillfully petted them and greeted them, and each creature made pleased sounds.
“They act like they don’t know me, yet they fawn over her like this.”
Strictly speaking, I was their true master, so I felt a bit slighted.
It was like watching a cat ignore the toy you’d bought it, only to go crazy for the catnip a guest brought.
“The Purungs go back and forth to the tower. Even without Jiana and Elsie, they seemed happy to see a familiar face.”
“Oh, really? Purung, you’re quite talented, aren’t you?”
Purrrrring——!!
Watching Purung let out a long cry at Suyeon’s praise, my jealousy deepened.
I thought we’d developed camaraderie from enduring hardship together in the tower with only each other to rely on!
After the commotion caused by Purung and the Ghost Horses, I stepped inside Suyeon’s house.
A spacious home for one person to live in.
‘But what’s this?’
The area itself was certainly wide, but stepping inside, it felt cramped and packed.
It wasn’t that the knights had abnormally thickened the walls for defensive purposes.
“What is all this?”
“Hehe, you could call it a hobby.”
The living room was packed with furniture that seemed anything but ordinary.
First, there was a massive TV that dominated one entire wall.
High-end speakers lined not just both sides but circled the entire living room.
On one side, CDs and DVDs of various anime were crammed densely together.
“Want to watch something?”
“Huh?”
Though I wasn’t particularly interested in anime, seeing such a fully equipped setup made me think, ‘Why not give it a try?’
As I nodded, Suyeon, brimming with excitement, scurried about setting up the anime.
The work she’d carefully selected was Magical Girl Dorothy Season 1, Episode 1!
“The studio’s animation here is incredible. Especially since it’s the first episode, they really went all out.”
“I, I see.”
After a few clicks and taps, the setup was complete.
I was led by Suyeon’s hand to the sofa—which was equally premium quality as Deokhuun’s—and sat down.
At the same time.
BOOM———!!!!!
“??????”
The opening began with a magnificent sound I’d never heard before and vibrant colors that filled my vision.
Pwooolong—— Sharalalalala———
Ahhh—— I wanted to be a magical girl~ and then one day I met my friend!
A perfect event?
At least in terms of audio, Suyeon’s living room seemed to be thirty steps ahead.
‘What kind of sound is this… what bass…?’
An overwhelmingly high resolution and bass that had long surpassed even movie theaters.
Could an anime opening—especially one created for young girls—really be this grand?
A symphony of drums and bass that stirred people’s hearts, electric guitars in full display!
That emotion didn’t end with the opening.
– I won’t forgive you! Magical Girl Dorothy, I swear on my grandmother’s name!
‘Why her grandmother’s name instead of her own…?’
Fwooosh—— Tutututu——
– Tch, attacking without even giving me time to transform, and you call yourself a magical girl! You cowardly Dorothy!
– Shut up! There’s no time to wait for villains who torment people and the Earth! Go die and get fried in hellfire!
‘She’s really cowardly! And her language is rougher than I expected!’
The surround sound effect was incredible, as if I were standing right at the scene of a magical girl battling a monster.
I was so entranced that I watched the entire anime episode in an instant.
“How was it?”
“That was… amazing….”
“Right? Magical Girl Dorothy Season 1 Episode 1 is still a masterpiece even now, you know?”
Well, that wasn’t quite what I meant by amazing….
Suyeon seemed to have misunderstood slightly, but since she looked so delighted with her flushed face, I didn’t bother correcting her.
Yet Suyeon’s hobby collection continued unabated.
A manga reading room packed floor to ceiling with comic books!
A gaming room where one could recline almost horizontally while enjoying games across five monitors!
A workshop brimming with all manner of rare model kits!
“This… this is absolutely insane…”
At this point, I found myself reassessing who Suyeon truly was.
“How many times a month do you actually leave this house?”
“Once?”
“…”
