Episode 93
‘Why are they here?’
I mean, this isn’t some public meeting square or anything…….
Familiar faces were standing near the entrance that led down to the Greenhouse.
“Oh, Ju Ha-ryeong. I almost didn’t recognize you.”
As I approached them completely, Baek Seon-u was the first to meet my eyes and speak. Instead of answering, I shifted my gaze to the person next to him.
Seo Do-hyeok, whose eyes met mine straight on, was leaning against one side of a towering pillar with his shoulder, tilting his head slightly. It was as if he were asking what the problem was.
‘Ha. What is this…….’
In that moment, completely at a loss, I naturally looked at Cha Yu-hyeon, who had just approached my side. At the same time, he gave a light shrug and spoke.
“That’s how it turned out.”
Ugh……, I really want to smack that shiny forehead of his just once. No matter what, shouldn’t he have at least given me a hint?
“But how did you get out?”
At Baek Seon-u’s question from right in front of me, I shot back an answer while keeping my eyes fixed on Cha Yu-hyeon’s profile.
“I pressed the Emergency Bell.”
“Ha.”
Then someone let out a dry laugh almost simultaneously with Baek Seon-u.
“That seems a bit much.”
And that was just an extra jab on top of it all.
When I shifted my gaze to where Seo Do-hyeok was standing, I could see Cha Yu-hyeon already stepping closer to that area, lowering his posture into a crouch.
‘Well, I’ll give him that one.’
He really did find the entrance spot-on.
In the meantime, I had approached Baek Seon-u, who now had his back turned to me, watching the two men. Then I tapped his arm with my elbow and asked.
“Why are you here? I was sure——”
Before I could finish, Baek Seon-u tilted his head slightly to the back, then leaned in close to my ear and whispered.
“I was anxious about leaving those two alone at this hour.”
“What?”
I responded flatly, then naturally turned my gaze to the person beside me. Just as his manner of speaking had suggested moments before, Baek Seon-u’s face carried the same playful smile it always did.
“Let’s go in and talk.”
At that moment, Cha Yu-hyeon, who had already opened the cover and was looking at us, gave a terse instruction.
“Baek Seon-u first, then Seo Do-hyeok.”
Naturally, I was to go down third.
It was probably his way of being considerate. In case something went wrong, Cha Yu-hyeon and I would be closest to the outside.
‘Not bad, really.’
If only I weren’t C-Class, this would have been an absolutely elite combination.
[ The Tuner of Truth lets out an exclamation, saying that in all his existence, he’s never seen a combination like this, his eyes gleaming with intrigue. ]
[ The Guardian of Taewon suddenly bursts in anger at the contractor, saying to look at them instead of whatever the Tuner is focusing on, then snatches the dessert bag from the Tuner’s hand. ]
[ The Tuner of Truth scoffs, saying that someone as oblivious to the atmosphere as you will never understand him, who has a full plan in place. ]
While watching the reactions of the two Constellations constantly obscuring my view, I was descending the ladder attached to one wall.
“Ugh—.”
Suddenly, a short groan from someone pierced into my ear. In that instant, I froze like ice, stopping my movements.
The passage was too narrow to see below properly, but I understood at once.
“Ha……, Ju Ha-ryeong.”
I had accidentally stepped on Seo Do-hyeok’s hand.
“I’m sorry.”
…….
Fortunately, my immediate apology seemed to take effect, as the faint footsteps that had stopped for a moment resumed again.
‘He’s faster than I expected.’
Baek Seon-u, who must be at the very bottom descending now, showed no hesitation in his movements, no doubt thanks to his outstanding agility—even though he was clearly visiting this suspicious place for the first time.
If this had been a battlefield, I as the Tank should have gone down first. For some reason, I felt a twinge of guilt.
Tap.
Soon after my feet touched the ground, Cha Yu-hyeon safely entered the Greenhouse interior as well.
‘Wow, what is this place…….’
Standing at the entrance, I took a moment to look around, but there was nothing different here either.
The brilliant light pouring from the ceiling, the crisp air, and the rare plants that were plainly visible seemed to have grown even more diverse than before.
[ The Tuner of Truth slowly strokes his chin, examining the area around the contractor intently with narrowed eyes. ]
[ The Guardian of Taewon mutters that even if he were to leave, sweeping it all wouldn’t be too much, and begins calculating the value based on the contractor’s world. ]
No, Guardian. Didn’t the Tuner just the other day say something about greed when you suggested extracting the Catalyst……?
Whether my inner thoughts were properly conveyed or not, no text appeared afterward.
‘Are those two arguing again?’
“Wow, this place is incredible.”
At that moment, Baek Seon-u murmured something under his breath.
When I turned my head naturally, the expressions of Seo Do-hyeok and Baek Seon-u, standing side by side to my left, came into view.
‘They’re pretty startled, I’d say.’
Both of them showed clear signs of bewilderment, but it wasn’t an unnatural reaction. The landscape path behind the shabby experimental building and this place were like different worlds entirely, and even I, who had discovered it first, felt disoriented at first.
Cha Yu-hyeon, who must have come later, probably felt the same way.
“We can admire it later. Let’s go.”
At that, Cha Yu-hyeon, standing to my right, took the first step forward.
Thanks to him, my reverie broke, and I adjusted my hat absently before following right after him. As we all walked in silence, Baek Seon-u slipped up beside me and whispered.
“By the way, Ha-ryeong.”
“What.”
“You’ve been here before, haven’t you?”
I suppose at this point I’d decided to drop the pretense and speak plainly.
Baek Seon-u’s instincts had grown frighteningly sharper lately. It was a shame that it had to be now, though.
“This is my first time.”
I answered him flatly without sparing him a glance. A small laugh escaped his lips immediately after, which suggested he didn’t buy it.
‘I thought he’d ask more questions.’
Surprisingly, the small talk ended there.
How long did we walk after that?
Cha Yu-hyeon’s footsteps, who had been leading the way, came to an abrupt stop in front of a secluded flower bed.
‘Hm, is it here…?’
Was that the place?
It looked like the flower bed I had passed without thinking when I came searching for Baek Sang-cho before, wandering through every corner.
‘Nothing’s planted here yet.’
Back then, I had just assumed plants were arranged by type and moved on.
While I was puzzled, Cha Yu-hyeon climbed up onto the flower bed without hesitation.
He then knelt on one knee and, with the jet-black dagger already summoned, drove its tip firmly into the center of the soil.
‘Is there something down there?’
I had already come to accept that Cha Yu-hyeon did nothing without reason. Judging by how quiet the two beside me were, Seo Do-hyeok and Baek Seon-u seemed to be thinking the same thing, watching calmly.
Soon the only sound that broke the silence of the Greenhouse was the scrape of the dagger cutting through soil. Then suddenly he began sweeping the earth aside with one hand.
‘So that’s why he wore those gloves.’
In any case, what an extraordinary man.
The black leather gloves that fit his assassin image so perfectly wrapped both his hands.
Screech—
In that instant, a faint metallic scraping sound pierced my ear.
As something that had been buried in the earth finally revealed itself, Cha Yu-hyeon looked at me with an expressionless face.
“Because of you, that night was quite difficult for me.”
“…Hah.”
I was utterly taken aback.
A laugh escaped me unbidden at the unfairness of it. True, I had deliberately not shown him the Greenhouse entrance that day, but…
‘I didn’t know about this either.’
I barely suppressed another bitter smile and simply shrugged my shoulders.
For some reason, my cheek felt warm. When I glanced sideways and finally tilted my head back to look up, as I suspected…
‘I’m being stared at intensely.’
The moment our eyes met, Baek Seon-u tilted his head at an angle. It felt like a silent pressure asking what that was supposed to mean.
What was more unsettling was that even Seo Do-hyeok was staring at me with an impassive expression.
‘Why are they making such a fuss over nothing?’
Even so, I was just about to fumble out some excuse when—
A small metallic sound rang out, and all three of us turned our heads at once. Cha Yu-hyeon had, with perfect timing, lifted up a cover caked with earth.
I watched his next move with narrowed eyes.
He then set the cover aside and positioned himself as if to jump down first, inserting both feet into the revealed square hole.
“We’ll enter first this time.”
Cha Yu-hyeon’s terse instruction created the odd illusion of stepping into a Gate. In the next instant, his form vanished as if sucked in, in the blink of an eye.
‘Well…I don’t know what this is, but…’
There was no time to hesitate. Time was steadily slipping away.
I stepped up onto the edge of the flower bed and took the exact same stance Cha Yu-hyeon had just moments before.
“I have no idea what we’re doing.”
And just then, I heard Seo Do-hyeok’s heavy voice, muttering to himself, but I simply fixed my gaze on the hole below. It was so dark I couldn’t tell if there was solid ground to step on.
‘This is strange.’
Who could have guessed that a passage like this would be hidden beneath a flower bed covered only with soil?
I naturally raised my head again and met the eyes of the two across from me briefly.
Without hesitation, he surrendered his body to the darkness.
C-Class, yet every S-Class is obsessed with me
