Episode 299
299
Last time I came here, I ran into Kim Che-gun.
This time, it’s Luna?
I accepted her greeting somewhat awkwardly.
Since standing and exchanging pleasantries felt a bit off,
“Would you like to sit?”
“Oh, yes.”
I said that to Luna, and she responded in kind, taking the seat across from me.
Was it because of that?
“Wow, did that woman succeed?”
“They seem to know each other?”
“Wow, they really are a handsome couple…”
“…She really is pretty.”
“So…”
Several women spoke like that, then turned their gazes away from Luna’s appearance with a dejected look.
There was no point in looking further—it would only breed jealousy.
Of course, even trying not to look, I kept seeing anyway.
I tried my best to ignore it.
The atmosphere suggested they were mistaking Luna for my girlfriend.
But that wasn’t the truth.
As I sat quietly,
“Oh, my name is An Yoo-jin.”
“Ah. I’m Yoo Sung-hyun.”
Since my nickname was Yoo Sung-hyun anyway, I figured it would work out.
In any case, I said that,
and Luna—or rather, An Yoo-jin—smiled knowingly and nodded.
I noticed that the atmosphere around Luna was distinctly different.
Inside the Eternal World, Luna—An Yoo-jin—appeared quite exposed due to her class characteristics, didn’t she?
In contrast, the An Yoo-jin I saw in reality was quite refined.
You could call her the epitome of a graceful lady.
Her neat attire and dignified bearing gave off an elegant impression.
‘Hmm.’
How did she end up in such a profession?
While I felt a bit sorry about that, it wasn’t really my concern.
“Did you come shopping, Yoo Sung-hyun?”
“Oh, yes. It’s my mother’s birthday tomorrow.”
“Ah! I see.”
“Did you come shopping too, Luna—or rather, Yoo-jin?”
“Oh, yes. My older sister asked me to go with her.”
I thought about how she had an older sister, and suddenly it occurred to me that the person was An Yoo-jin.
Could it be?
Just as I was about to speak on that thought, a familiar face entered the cafe.
I could see one person coming in and another person standing beside them.
“Oh? You two were together!?”
“Right?”
Yoo Mi-na appeared with a somewhat exaggerated expression.
And An Yoo-jin stood quietly beside her, observing and speaking.
Both of them reacted to that.
“…Older sister?”
“…Younger sister?”
And Yoo Sung-hyun looked at An Yoo-jin in surprise.
Could Luna really be An Yoo-jin’s younger sister?
With that thought, I looked at An Yoo-jin, and since she already knew the two were siblings.
She didn’t look particularly shocked.
Rather, she looked surprised that she would happen to see them here like this.
“We all meet here like this?”
“Right?”
An Yoo-jin nodded at Yoo Mi-na’s words.
“Ah, I didn’t know you two were sisters.”
“Huh? Didn’t Yoo Sung-hyun tell you?”
“…No.”
“Well, you might not know. There’s quite an age difference between us.”
So Luna was actually my older sister’s friend’s younger sister.
I was a bit surprised.
Come to think of it, I think I did hear before that she had a younger sister.
But to meet her in this vast world.
Yoo Sung-hyun was a bit taken aback.
“Well, we came out to rest for a while, and we meet like this.”
“Right?”
“So what do you want to do?”
An Yoo-jin spoke thus and looked at Yoo Mi-na and Yoo Sung-hyun, who tilted his head as if asking what they should do.
“Since we’ve met, should we spend time together?”
“Oh? That sounds nice. Mother was nagging about how I only stay at home anyway.”
Yoo Mi-na smiled pleasantly.
Besides, she had already bought all of Mother’s gifts, and there was nothing else to do.
And hadn’t Lee Na-kyung said something a few days ago?
It would be nice to spend time together since we happened to meet here.
I agreed without hesitation.
Yoo Sung-hyun also nodded as if it was no big deal.
“That sounds good.”
Yoo Sung-hyun answered in that manner.
An Yoo-bin reacted belatedly upon seeing it.
“Oh, ah, um, I think that’s good too.”
“Hmm~?”
“Oho~?”
At An Yoo-bin’s response, Yoo Mi-na and An Yoo-jin’s eyes narrowed as they looked at each other.
Then, with mysterious expressions tinged with amusement, Yoo Mi-na and An Yoo-jin exchanged glances and nodded at one another.
The moment I saw the two of them looking so peculiar.
Yoo Sung-hyun sensed an ominous aura and tried to refuse belatedly.
But it was already too late.
“Sounds good, really good.”
“Hehehehe, wonderful! Shall we go then?”
An Yoo-jin and Yoo Mi-na spoke thus, each leading their younger siblings out as if dragging them along.
The men watching this seemed to shed tears of blood as they spoke.
“…Did I save a nation in my past life?”
“…Wow.”
“I’m really envious.”
“Surrounded by beautiful women. I wish I could be like that.”
“…Look at your face.”
Thus, the four of them became a combination that drew the attention of both men and women as they walked together.
3.
None of the four had any particular schedule.
So they decided to wander freely.
First, Yoo Sung-hyun and Yoo Mi-na placed the gifts they had purchased in the trunk of the narrow Ferrari and met up again.
“Should we grab some food first?”
“Time really flies.”
As Yoo Mi-na said this.
An Yoo-jin also nodded in agreement.
By the time they finished shopping, it was already well past lunchtime.
Since it was past noon, Yoo Mi-na, the older sister, and An Yoo-jin, the elder, were pondering what to do.
Yoo Sung-hyun, who had no particular thoughts, and An Yoo-bin, who remained quiet as the younger sibling.
But seeing them, Yoo Mi-na asked Yoo Sung-hyun as if wondering if he had any good ideas.
“Is there anything you’d like to eat?”
“Hmm, I don’t have a preference. How about you, An Yoo-bin?”
“Huh?”
At Yoo Sung-hyun’s sudden question, An Yoo-bin was startled and asked back.
“Is there anything you’d like to have?”
“Ah… I’m fine with anything.”
An Yoo-bin answered quietly in that manner.
Yoo Mi-na looked at Yoo Sung-hyun with half-lidded eyes, a mysterious smile playing at her lips.
“Well, well, so you’re really taking care of your Backup Team like that?”
“Hmm?”
An Yoo-jin, standing beside her, also looked intrigued.
Yoo Sung-hyun regarded the two of them as if they were mad.
“I’m just asking because there’s nothing I particularly want to eat.”
“Ahem, I see. Anyway, Yoo Jin, is there anything you’re craving?”
Yoo Mi-na spoke as if she understood everything, then turned to ask An Yoo-jin as well.
An Yoo-jin thought for a moment before answering.
“Hmm, how about we get some decent steak?”
“Western food sounds good. What about you two?”
“That sounds great to me.”
“I’m fine with it too.”
With Yoo Sung-hyun and An Yoo-bin agreeing, the decision was essentially made.
It turned out they happened to know a place.
An Yoo-jin led the way, and Yoo Mi-na walked ahead alongside her.
As they walked, she whispered a question to An Yoo-jin.
“Psst, I’m in favor. What about you?”
“Me? Of course I’m in favor.”
She spoke quietly, but naturally it reached Yoo Sung-hyun’s ears.
Unfortunately, his despairing expression meant he couldn’t quite make out what they were saying.
In any case, the older sisters walked ahead.
And the younger siblings followed behind.
It felt a bit awkward walking in silence.
An Yoo-bin spoke up first.
“What’s your current level, Yoo Sung-hyun? It looked like you jumped up all at once back then.”
“Ah, I’m at 230 now.”
“Wow….”
At Yoo Sung-hyun’s answer, An Yoo-bin’s expression showed genuine admiration, and Yoo Sung-hyun felt a bit embarrassed.
Perhaps he felt sorry that the Backup Team had nothing left to help with.
Yoo Sung-hyun spoke to An Yoo-bin somewhat hesitantly.
“It just happened to turn out that way.”
“Oh! That’s fine. We’re trying our best to keep up too. I’m at 223, and the rest are almost at 222.”
“Wow, you’re leveling up really fast.”
There was nearly a seven-level gap.
But considering how much Yoo Sung-hyun had gained during the Apophis incident.
They were catching up faster than expected.
As Yoo Sung-hyun said this.
An Yoo-bin answered somewhat bashfully.
“Running with a large team really picks up the pace. I’ll do my best to keep up with you, Yoo Sung-hyun.”
“Thank you.”
As we continued our conversation,
it naturally drifted toward talk of the game.
As the two of us chatted away in the back,
my sister Yoo Mi-na and An Yoo-jin watched us.
While they thought we made a good pair, they found it quite frustrating.
Why were we both so oblivious, talking only about games?
Though frustrated, there was nothing they could say, so they simply observed.
Before long, we arrived at the restaurant.
“Here it is.”
“This place is famous for its food.”
“I’ve been here before, and it was delicious.”
“Oh, really?”
The four of us entered the restaurant.
It was lunch hour, but fortunately, there were seats available.
Since we hadn’t made a reservation, I was worried there might be no tables.
The moment the four of us stepped inside,
we drew everyone’s attention at once.
An Yoo-jin was petite, but she had quite a lovely appearance, and her younger sister An Yoo-bin boasted equally striking features.
As for Yoo Mi-na and me, there was no need to mention it.
Some men eating had their eyes drawn to the trio, while their girlfriends scolded them—only to have their own gazes drift toward me as well.
Once we were seated,
“It’s one menu per person here, but the portions are a bit small, so you’ll need to order two, Yoo Sung-hyun.”
“Oh, I see. Understood.”
“Hmm, I’ll order two as well.”
“Okay. What about Yoo-bin?”
“Hmm, let me see the menu first.”
As we coordinated the menu, each of us ordered slightly different dishes.
We planned to share if needed.
I had thought each person would eat their own dish since they said it was one menu per person.
I didn’t quite understand why they’d said that, but
men and women are different, after all.
I let it slide.
Before the food arrived,
“So how far have you progressed now, Yoo Sung-hyun?”
An Yoo-jin asked casually to make conversation.
I answered immediately.
“Ah, I hit level 230 this time.”
At my answer, Yoo Mi-na let out an exclamation of surprise and muttered,
“Wow! You really are fast.”
“Right, I was surprised when I heard about it earlier too.”
“He’s my brother, but really….”
I shook my head, unsure what to say.
Yoo Sung-hyun glared at me as if asking what I was looking at.
Seeing Yoo Sung-hyun’s reaction for the first time, An Yoo-jin glanced over and burst into laughter.
“Heh, siblings are siblings, aren’t they?”
“Still, we get along pretty well.”
“Hmm, that’s true.”
Yoo Mi-na spoke to An Yoo-jin’s words, and Yoo Sung-hyun nodded in agreement as well.
After chatting for a bit, the food arrived quickly.
As we ate, we discussed guild matters and how to proceed with future broadcasts, exchanging various information while dining.
Various pieces of information were exchanged as we ate.
The meal ended faster than expected.
Moreover, having met someone after a long time and conversing with them,
I chattered away without noticing time passing.
In the midst of that,
“Is your team doing okay? Everyone’s got such strong personalities.”
“Sigh. Yes, we’re doing our best to somehow pull it together.”
I could hear about Luna Team.
Moreover,
“Reaper did come this time, which is fortunate. Since we’re not in the integrated server section yet, we haven’t actually met. Kyou was really looking forward to it.”
At that remark, Yoo Sung-hyun could imagine it and recalled Kyou from the last time with Apophis.
He certainly had a wild feel to him.
Then Yoo Jin chuckled and spoke.
“Ugh, they’re all kids who came after seeing Yoo Sung-hyun once, so their personalities are way too strong.”
“…?”
Unlike the others, I’d never seen Kyou before.
What was she talking about?
I was about to ask.
“That’s right. Kyou also eventually lost to Yoo Sung-hyun and came in.”
“I heard he was arrogant, but after Yoo Sung-hyun gave him a proper lesson, he became obedient. That’s a relief.”
“…???”
It seemed like the conversation was progressing without my knowledge.
I couldn’t make sense of it.
Then, having finished our meal,
I was about to get up when
“Should we move to another spot? What do you want to do?”
True to her role as guild leader, Yoo Jin spoke as if directing the flow.
Yoo Mi-na’s eyes sparkled as she spoke.
“Want to go see our guild headquarters?”
My sister started making strange noises again.
