chapter 15
15 – Black Company
Kikiiik.
In a space locked in darkness and silence, an alarm sounds to alert an intruder.
But the landlord doesn’t notice him. A state of being in a deep, restful sleep.
The intruder noticed him and boldly took a step. With only his eyes on the bed, he moved forward without hesitation.
The only thing that gave off light was the occasional flickering light of the router, but there were piles of obstacles that could be hit by the foot, but the intruder reached the high ground smoothly.
Creaking creaking——.
A cheap spring screamed as another person climbed onto the bed where my master was lying.
Ignoring him, Yuhanna climbed up.
I put my hand on my childhood friend’s hard chest and looked down at his face.
“…… Ha.”
Yoo Han-na very carefully caressed Lee Jin-woo’s face.
Dark eyebrows, melancholy eyes, a towering nose bridge, and cherry-like lips.
Unusually, white and soft skin is also good.
I list every single thing I see, but there is nothing I don’t like.
How can I not hate even my personality?
“…… What is that bastard’s conceit?”
However, this nice, idiotic idiot is looking for a natural encounter.
At first, I thought it was a joke, but when I realized that it was really serious, I cursed at how much.
I felt like I was about to explode because I didn’t see myself as my longtime childhood friend, let alone a future partner.
“Crazy bastard.”
So it might be to your advantage to just turn your mind away from this idiot and start liking someone else.
I thought so.
A glance.
Then, as always, she was glancing at him when she suddenly realized.
The self who always wants to look at that man, and wants to do that.
The fact that the fire in my heart will not die out in the future, but will gradually intensify.
She made up her mind.
Okay, let’s try it.
To get a madman Yes, let’s go crazy too.
Let’s try to win it somehow.
That’s how she became crazy about her love, Lee Jin-woo.
Yoo Han-na’s hand dug under Lee Jin-woo’s back.
I hugged him.
Her chest collided.
It was crushed.
Kung-Kung-Kung-.
I felt my heart beat.
The breaths of each other met and crumbled.
She looked at Lee Jin-woo’s face with anxious eyes and muttered.
“Everything I do is because of you, so you take responsibility…….”
Yuhanna rubbed their faces together, and she hugged him tight enough to keep him from breaking.
I couldn’t do this when I was awake, so I had to do it now.
It’s really unfortunate, but even childhood friends have their limits.
But it won’t be long.
Yuhanna looked forward to the day when she would break away from her ‘friend’.
She will come soon.
I will definitely make it that way.
With that promise, she kissed her cheek.
Sack sack. She slept very peacefully and she closed her eyes just like him.
I used the sound of breathing as a lullaby and enjoyed the moment comfortably.
Charging time for the arduous journey ahead.
I spit out the words inadvertently.
“…… Love you.”
I thought about that for a while and hugged him.
Dawn broke.
* * *
After enjoying a drive along the road overlooking Seokchon Lake, we finally arrived at the magic tower, a secret society hidden in a barrier.
The jet-black magic tower that stands firm today as well.
As I was looking at it, something immediately came to my mind.
I wanted to spit it out, but I kept my mouth shut because Yuhanna was next to me.
Although he is an easy-going friend of 10 years, there is a line that needs to be followed.
It’s not because the genders are different, I’m not the type to have conversations like this.
It is said that some insiders shoot s*x drips among themselves, but that wasn’t me.
I’m really sorry.
In many ways…….
Around the time I was lamenting my situation, which was breaking the 22-year-old Chinta record, I heard a curt voice.
“Now am I leaving? Good job, see you next time.”
When I turned my head, Yuhanna, with a very calm expression, was waving her hand.
I was smiling brightly when I was driving until just now, but it suddenly changed into a droopy mood.
Besides, for some reason, my eyes were red.
“Are you crying?”
“… Yeah, I hate going to work. I want to play while getting paid every month without working.”
“I agree with that.”
Even if a billion dollars is invested in a day, no, now, in just a few hours, even if the money is copied, that’s what you think.
I didn’t mean to be the person who came to work because I wanted to go to work, but I did.
I remembered what I had forgotten while watching Yuhanna, who kept whimpering how much she hated working.
“Yaya, are you a cocktail bar or a modern bar? Do you know that well?”
“Huh? Roughly?”
Why does he ask such a thing? A curious expression that seems to reveal such thoughts as they are.
Seeing that, my mood was strangely twisted, but remembering my situation, where the only alcohol was makgeolli, I spit it out eagerly.
“Then let’s go together later when work is over. Because I don’t know much about that. Instead, I will buy alcohol. Ah. Come to think of it, it hasn’t been long since we haven’t been drinking…… ?”
Warak. Yuhanna ran over and hugged me.
Thinking that this was some kind of trick, she lightly tapped the guy on the back with her fist.
The residents of Mage Tower Village at the site of raw noodles are staring at us, and it feels like we are doing something very manly.
“What are you doing? Could you please go away Why are you screaming all of a sudden?”
“Shut up. For some reason, he is moved by a voice like this.”
“…… Huh.”
It sticks so thickly that it doesn’t come off.
I gave up on taking it off and left it alone.
A few minutes passed like that.
The guy who barely got away was still sniffing at his nose with red eyes, this time grabbing my hand and muttering.
Let’s definitely go together. A terrifying warning that if you don’t go, you will surely be killed.
For some reason, those words made me feel sincere and broke into a cold sweat.
I reassured her that I would definitely go with her, and she barely calmed her down.
“Really? Are you really going with me?”
“Yeah, I’m really going with you, so please go do some work. You madman.”
With less than a few meters to my car, I managed to send Yuhanna, who couldn’t get on and kept looking back and asking questions, and finally arrived at the Mage Tower building.
I stood in the lobby and wiped the sweat from my forehead.
“What is this sweat streak… ….”
It was obviously chilly until I left the house, but I don’t know why it’s so hot.
It’s not that walking for tens of minutes was hard, it’s probably because you went through a lot of hardships for nothing.
No, if I had known you liked bars that much, I would have asked you to go earlier.
At that time, it must have been impossible because there was no money?
I was in the middle of waiting for the guide while thinking about such miscellaneous things.
Quaaang——! The building shook violently as a roar rang in the ears.
f*ck? I couldn’t keep my body steady due to the unexpectedly strong vibration, but I managed to regain my balance by leaning on a pillar in the middle of the lobby.
“…… What the f*ck terror?”
The noise and vibration that you would believe even if an airplane flew in and crashed into a building.
I was thinking that it would be right to jump out of here quickly.
“… ….”
“… ….”
“… ….”
People in the lobby tilt their heads, frown, or smile, but don’t show much surprise, and each goes his own way.
Something only makes me feel special.
What on earth was the noise just now? Can I just not respond? Who the hell am I supposed to ask about this? People passing by? Or the lady at the counter?
Someone touched my shoulder feeling a little alienated and confused.
I looked back hurriedly, startled like a dog.
Then I saw a woman with red hair and a white gown.
Fatigued face with rimless glasses.
She calmly smoked a cigarette even though there were many other people around her, and said with a very weak expression and voice.
“Let’s go up.”
After she said that, she immediately got on the elevator next to her.
I was dumbfounded for a moment at the insincere greeting, but I got on.
It was only after I arrived at the office that I followed with ignorance that I knew that her name was ‘Irene’ and that she was my boss.
So what are you going to do?
Will you learn a simple magic or fly to another world again?
I waited for her instructions, looking at her with some anticipation as her chicks look at her mother hen.
Irene brought a pile of papers the size of her height and put them down where she was instructed to be my desk.
‘…… What is this?’
I looked back and forth between them and my boss’s face.
The red-haired demon spoke quietly with a still weak expression and voice.
“It’s work. Please take good care of me.”
“…… To?”
And then, watching her back as she left without any guidance, I realized.
…… This is a black company.
