Regression Instruction Manual Episode 895
Vacation (13)
Humans demonstrate superhuman strength in times of crisis. The current state of Lee Ki-yeon was like that.
Tension beyond method acting. The expression on his face seemed to fulfill the probability of the sudden appearance of a person, which was somewhat unexpected and abrupt.
Lee Ki-yeon's tears that filled her eyes explain everything. Self-doubt about showing such a state to a cherished relationship, resentment about why he came to see Lee Ki-yeon now... The emotional scene that explodes with the difficult emotions of the past is not even tolerable for me to feel.
"Why! Why! Why did you appear in front of me! Why!"
I have to hit him once again.
Jjaak!
Honestly, my hand might hurt more, but because of the whirlwind of various emotions colliding in my head, I don't feel the pain much.
Kim Hyun-seong grabbed my hand at that moment, and the face of the guy who quietly looked at me while holding the bloody hands that had become like that came into my sight.
"Hu... huuk... hyyyyuk..."
He has to crumble here. It's like saying that all emotions have been consumed. Awkwardly tapping my shoulder with his hand raised on this side, it might be the minimum comfort he can offer.
According to convention, it would be time to hug, but perhaps due to memories of the past, he doesn't throw unreasonable demands. He just sent a warm comfort. Sometimes it helps not to say anything at all. Kim Hyun-seong's attitude might be a great comfort to Lee Ki-yeon now that I have taken over the character of Lee Ki-yeon for a moment.
I don't even hate this bastard a bit, because he might be the only person who can lean on in this situation. But I firmly grasp my heart once again.
'Still, sh*t, it's useless. This bastard. How could you...'
You're telling me this. Sh*t. You'll see later. There's a lot you have to explain. I might have been too lenient on you lately. He have to cross the river of trials again. Definitely. Of course, I can understand If I force myself to understand, I nod my head.
At a glance, it's a dangerous situation and a dangerous place. How could Kim Hyun-seong just leave someone in crisis like that?
The dinner with Lee Ki-young wasn't urgent, so he probably thought he needed to turn off the emergency alarm first because Lee Ki-yeon looked like she was in danger right away.
Of course, it's not entirely forgivable, but he could still be given some credit for being somewhat normal, and if it had been a dangerous situation, he might have quickly come to help.
'It must have been like that.'
It's more appropriate to say that it was a situation versus a situation rather than a duel between Lee Ki-young and Lee Ki-yeon. Since there's no warp gate, it's not a state where you can immediately escape.
'No, but why the hell is this guy here? How the hell did he end up coming here on a warp gate?'
How many minutes have passed? Kim Hyun-seong is still waiting for the emotional Lee Ki-Yeon on this side to calm down. Without saying a word.
I waited a little for him to float luck first, but this guy is completely clueless. It's good to watch quietly. But you're watching too quietly. Shibal. You're too cautious.
"I'm sorry, Blue Guild Master."
"Are you calm now?"
"Yes. I showed a pathetic side of myself. I didn't need to scream like this or vent my anger to Hyun-seong...."
"I don't think that at all. Pathetic side...."
Kim Hyun-seong's attitude is still cautious. As if demonstrating the wisdom of our ancestors to knock on a stone bridge before crossing it, he is extremely cautious in his choice of vocabulary.
On the other hand, he also looks anxious. Is it a compulsive belief that he can't make stupid mistakes to someone he's met again after a long time? Or is he anxious about the countdown being three hours?
But the appointment has been canceled anyway. If it's the latter, put your worries aside. I don't think I'll see you for a while.
"No, it's not."
He opened his mouth slowly again with a slightly disappointed smile.
"Do I look stupid?"
"No...."
"To leave with such confidence.... To disappear without a word and not contact you.... To meet in this state.... It's pathetic, isn't it?"
I think it would be a decent appearance even if I saw it from a place one step away with moist eyes. He speaks with a voice mixed with self-reflection and regret, even if it's out of the blue, I should mix 3% of the dialogue with the identity.
"Honestly, I knew that the Blue Guild Master had a slight liking for me."
The guy didn't deny the word I threw at him. Yeah. Shibal. That's why he abandoned his brother.
"What happened to you?"
It's better to speak for now. I'll mix in some exaggeration.
"So…"
I opened my mouth quietly again. The stories after we separated in the Crack land, Lee Ki-yeon's stories that Kim Hyun-seong doesn't know.
Although the situation is a mess everywhere, only the space where Kim Hyun-seong and I are, is quiet. In the dimly lit space, I sat down and murmured, and Kim Hyun-seong nodded silently, listening to Lee Ki-yeon's words.
From very small stories...
"I worked as a staff member in an inn. It was a bit rewarding. Oh, I also worked as a receptionist at the adventurer guild for a while. It was really fun. Of course, I heard news about the Blue Guild Master during that time."
It was not difficult to make up stories that fit the background from time to time. Anyway, from Kim Hyun-seong's point of view, it couldn't be confirmed, and he didn't know the continent's situation as well as I did.
I smiled quietly at small episodes and felt sorry when something unreasonable happened.
"I realized that I left my shoes behind."
"I still have them. I tried to return them, but..."
"Oh my. Is that true? Hehe."
I made jokes from time to time. It seemed like this guy really still had the Bitch-ella's shoes.
Of course, as the story progressed, the face of the guy who tightened his expression was shown.
The story of meeting Lee Ji-hoo, the incident of stupidly falling into a trap and getting the slave's mark, and the story of spending time as a maid at Lee Ji-hoo's mansion... Kim Hyun-seong didn't make any other comments, but it was very clear that he was angry.
It wasn't a good story to hear, to be honest. When I said that I went to the black market and was sold for a million gold to spend time with the Republic's Personnel, I even clenched my fist.
Jin Cheong, this bastard. You're in big trouble now.
"That was already two months ago."
"..."
"But why is the Blue Guild Master here?"
When I looked at him with a slightly suspicious look, wondering if he came to the black market for the same purpose as Jin Cheong, Kim Hyun-Seong's face, which was clearly flustered, came into view.
Honestly, I'm more curious about Lee Ki-Young than Lee Ki-yeon. Why are you here, you bastard? Were you doing something behind my back?
Shibal. You didn't know that the black market existed from the beginning, right? You would have been disappointed if it had really been hidden.
"By any chance...."
"Oh, it's not like that. Kiyeon-ssi."
"Is that so?"
"...."
"It seems like I've only been talking about myself...."
"I just received a request."
"A request?"
"Yes. I only found out about this place a few days ago. It's hard to explain in detail, but it was because of the guild...."
"Oh, is it related to setting up a new branch?"
"Um, well...."
'This guy is hesitating.'
"Was it a request from that friend?"
"Yes. That's right."
It seems like it's my request after all. Kim Hyun-sung didn't give a definite answer, but the puzzle pieces seem to fit.
'This guy....'
Maybe he wanted to make up for the lack of funds. It might have been more profitable to rob the black market than to raid dungeons. After all, there's a warp gate in the Republic, too. If they could clean up the black market, it could raise their profile in the Republic.
It seems like they wanted to use the funds and goods they acquired to do something. After they successfully infiltrated, the warp gate suddenly closed....
Is this right...?
For now, it seems highly probable. It's better to ask Lee Ki-Young for more details once he becomes available. After all, it's guild confidential information that an outsider like Lee Ki-Yeon couldn't know about.
"It seems like the problem you consulted me about has been resolved."
"Yes. Thanks to you. With Ki-yeong-ssi...."
"He's the Honorary Cardinal, right? The person Hyun-sung-ssi mentioned at the time...."
"Yes."
"What kind of person is he? The Honorary Cardinal..."
"He's a precious person."
And you abandon me? Shibal. Am I a person? I sacrificed too.
"I also wanted to introduce you Ki-yeong-ssi...."
"...."
There was a moment of silence in the room. When the slight silence became tedious, Kim Hyun-sung spoke up again, seeming a little nervous. I also adopted a slightly serious posture.
"Um... Kiyeon-ssi."
"Yes?"
It's probably a courageous statement from Kim Hyun-sung's perspective.
"If it's not too much trouble...."
"Yes?"
"Would you like to come with us to the Blue guild?"
'You're funny. Shibal. Who are you to bring Ki-yeong to the Blue guild? You're not even interested in greetings usually.
I thought it was a somewhat impulsive statement.
"I can help solve the problems Ki-yeong-ssi has. I'm not saying this out of simple sympathy or because of the situation Ki-yeong-ssi is in. I just... maybe Ki-Young will like you too... there are various reasons, but anyway... would you not come with me?"
"...."
"I don't usually say things like this, but for some reason, I feel like I have to say this... I guess it's a typical work comment."
"Oh, it's not like that."
I don't know if it's really true or not. Kim Hyun-sung seemed a little impulsive, so the expression "the words came out without him realizing it" might be appropriate.
In fact, he might not even know how he feels about Lee Ki-yeong. Memories were beautiful, but it's not easy to define a person based on them.
You could just say that he blurted out without thinking. There might be sympathy mixed in for Lee Ki-yeong, and he might even have some liking for her.
Yeah, admit it.
But you know.
"I'm sorry."
"Yes?"
"I really am sorry. Blue guild master. I can't go with you."
"..." Translated by Sunbaetime_1170.
I opened my mouth with a sad smile.
"I fell in love with Young master Lee Ji-hoo."
This guy didn't even confess and got rejected. [lol.]
"I don't understand myself either...."
"..."
"There are various forms of love, you know."
Epic line.
Kim Hyun-sung's eyes were shaking in view.
You're Shibal. You got rejected in your first confession.
This guy is really clueless.
