5.
Together with Ban Hye-jin, I attacked the gate that Ban Yi-su told me about.
Ban Hye-jin was much stronger than I thought. She was, after all, Geomshin’s daughter.
Perhaps because she learned the sword from the Sword God, even though she didn’t use any of her talents, the monsters were easily defeated by the sword Ban Hye-jin swung.
Thanks to this, we were able to easily attack the gate.
“Whoa. I feel refreshed. “How long has it been since I last moved this violently?”
I smiled as I watched Ban Hye-jin brushing off the blood from her sword.
“I’m glad you’re feeling better.”
Maybe it was because my intimacy increased, but I was able to deal with Ban Hye-jin quite comfortably.
“Thank you, but what on earth do we have here?”
In response to Ban Hye-jin’s words, I held up a pair of shoes I had found a little while ago.
“Ugh? “What shoes?”
“It’s one of the things I’m looking for.”
The so-called ‘strongest’ set.
It was an item that Choi Kang, the main character of Part 1, threw at various gates for his subordinates to commemorate preventing the apocalypse.
Since he started doing this when he thought the apocalypse had been suppressed to some extent, it was truly an idea worthy of the main character in a novel.
Anyway, I got the gauntlets and shoes, so now it was time to go get the next one.
Jing- Jing-
At that time, the smartphone started vibrating.
When I took out my smartphone and looked at it, I saw that a group chat room had been created.
“what?”
[Yoo Ah-ram]
-Hi~ I made this to see how everyone was doing!
It seemed like Yoo Ah-ram had sold a group chat room. She quickly checked the members of the group chat room and found that most of them were people she knew.
It seemed like Yoo Ah-ram only invited people she was close to to the group chat.
[Ji Tae-hoon]
-What is this?
[Dabin Hwang]
-What, group chat room? Aram, what’s going on?
[Yoo Ah-ram]
-Hehe, there’s nothing wrong, it’s just a long-awaited break. We made this so that we could all gather outside and play!
[Jeong Joo-won]
-I like it. I was just bored.
As I was reading the messages, I thought to myself when I saw the messages of my friends chatting actively.
‘The world is at peace.’
It was a situation where they did not know when and where Rebellions would be targeting them.
Scouter Jeon Gwang-min was caught, and this news must have reached the ears of the 7th branch leader.
The head of Branch 7 I knew was a man who cared for his subordinates terribly.
I didn’t know that he might be moving for revenge by now.
“what’s the matter?”
Ban Hye-jin, probably not pleased with my expression, came over and looked at the smartphone.
“Group chat room?”
“uh. “Let’s play.”
“Someone is circling the gate like crazy, and it’s time to play. “What are you going to do?”
A good idea suddenly occurred to me after hearing Ban Hye-jin’s words.
“Shall we move with them all?”
“what?”
I paid no heed to Ban Hye-jin’s shouts and started tapping on my smartphone.
[me]
-Where are you going to see it?
[Selina]
-I’ll go to the place you tell me.
Since the house was empty at the time of the message, I thought I should invite them to my house.
[me]
-Then come to my house. I just happened to have something to say.
After putting my home address in the group chat room, I turned to Ban Hye-jin and said.
“let’s go.”
“Where?”
“To my house.”
6.
“Are you here? “It’s been a while, son?”
When I arrived home, I was surprised to find an unexpected person in the house.
“uh… mother?”
This isn’t it.
I didn’t know that my mother, who said it would take a few days, had already arrived.
“By the way, who is this young lady?”
“hello!”
When her mother found Ban Hye-jin, she politely greeted her mother.

“Oh my, what’s going on? My son, is he already grown up? “I even brought a woman home with me.”
At those words, I broke into a sweat and Ban Hye-jin smiled brightly.
“Well, that’s not it… … .”
As I was about to deny my mother’s words, there was a commotion outside.
“Is this the right place?”
“Lee Si-woo, home is closer than you think.”
“You called me home to talk about something?”
“Do you press the doorbell?”
Ding dong.
“huh? “Who else came?”
As I watched my mother open the door, I thought I was ruined.
***
“Hmm, so they’re all classmates with Siu, right?”
My mother’s meaningful look in her eyes made me feel burdened today.
“Yes, mother!”
Yoo Ah-ram, with a smiling expression, answered brightly.
Dabin Hwang was tilting his head at Ban Hyejin, and Selina was looking around the house with a curious expression.
“Oh. “I think we should at least bring some fruit.”
In response to that, I tried to tell him that it was okay.
“I will help you.”
If it weren’t for Ban Hye-jin who got up quickly.
Hwang Da-bin asked as he watched Ban Hye-jin leaving the room with her mother.
“Hey, Lee Si-woo.”
“uh?”
“Why are you with the Sword God’s daughter?”
I looked like I didn’t know what to explain.
-Kkkk, you look embarrassed too.
I came to my senses when I heard Gutterkal’s voice.
“Roommate?”
“Oh sorry. “I didn’t think her mother would be at her house.”
Anyway, since I was the one who gathered my friends, I had to explain the situation to them.
“Ask Ban Hye-jin directly why she is here. “More than that, the reason I invited you all was because I thought it would be good for you to train with me for a week.”
“training?”
Selina perked up her ears at my words.
“What, you weren’t playing?”
Yoo Ah-ram looked disappointed after hearing what I said.
“I also brought pajamas… … .”
After hearing Yoo Ah-ram mumble, I looked at Yoo Ah-ram, who had packed a lot of luggage. He seemed fully prepared to play.
“What kind of training is this?”
In response to Ji Tae-hoon’s question, I began to explain the closed gate.
In the second round, when I started collecting the ‘strongest set’, more time had passed than now.
Because of the time difference, I had no choice but to ask Geomshin for the locations of the closed gates.
It was two years ago, so I shouldn’t have thought the gate would still be where it was.
‘Next 6 months. No, maybe a little faster.’
In the second round, when I started collecting the strongest sets, it was after the world had turned into an apocalypse again. As the apocalypse erupted, numerous gates reappeared in droves.
It was difficult to find all the items Choi Kang left behind among the numerous gates.
“Hmm, so. “You said you received information from Sword God about gates where you can train?”
I nodded to Jeong Ju-won’s summary.
“That’s right, so I thought it would be good for you to train together, so I called you.”
“I agree.”
Selina was the first to vote yes.
“Is it fast?”
“Actually, I haven’t had anything to do for a week.”
Those words reminded me of Selina’s family history.
During the second episode, I saw her father.
The encounter with Selina’s father was after the apocalypse erupted again.
‘that… An unstoppable future.’
Selina’s father was one of the fighters currently fighting against the Rebellions.
I wanted to save all those people, but I couldn’t.
Since this world was a world in a novel, the story had to progress, and my job was to find an ending that readers would like the most in the ongoing story.
In fact, the best ending would be to deal with the Rebellions before the apocalypse erupts and protect the peace of this world.
‘The readers won’t want that.’
I suddenly became curious about the identity of these readers.
The author of ‘Ise’, who put me in this novel, is also a writer, but I was more curious about the identity of the readers who somehow seemed to be more powerful than the author.
“Guys, eat fruit!”
While I was lost in thought for a moment, my mother came back in and offered me some fruit.
“Wow! thank you for this food!”
“thank you!”
I picked up an apple that had been carved into the shape of a rabbit, bit into it, and said,
“You cut the fruit really nicely?”
“Oh my, that’s Hyejin’s skill.”
At those words, I looked at Ban Hye-jin.
Ban Hye-jin felt my gaze and made a proud expression.
‘I can’t believe I’m using the swordsmanship I learned from the swordsman to cut fruit…’ … .’
It was a huge waste of talent.
7.
After my mother, who had cut the fruit, left, we continued talking about the gate while eating fruit.
Most people were in favor of training at the gate.
At that time, Hwang Da-bin asked Ban Hye-jin.
“Uri, we are training for the upcoming final exams, but why is Ban Hye-jin here?”
At those words, I looked at Ban Hye-jin.
Certainly, no matter how much I was a lifesaver, there was no reason for Ban Hye-jin to continue following me around.
I looked curious as to how Ban Hye-jin would answer Hwang Da-bin’s question.
“I just got permission from your mother to stay here for a week?”
“what?”
“I don’t have a place to stay while I go through the admissions process. Are you fine? “Siwoo?”
I sighed at those words.
It felt like my nose had been pierced properly.
***
Hwang Da-bin was grumpy for no reason.
When I saw Ban Hye-jin acting awkwardly next to Lee Si-woo, I felt irritated, even if I didn’t know why.
In fact, Hwang Da-bin knew Ban Hye-jin well.
There was no way I didn’t know.
Because her father belonged to the Geomshin Guild, Hwang Da-bin often visited the Geomshin Guild since she was young, and every time she did, she was compared to Ban Hye-jin.
Perhaps because she suffered from many minor illnesses since childhood, Ban Hye-jin was a quiet and well-mannered child.
On the other hand, Hwang Da-bin was an active child who liked to run around and play since he was young.
Because they were the same age and had opposite personalities, people in the Sword God Guild compared the two whenever they saw one of them.
‘That foxy bitch. You definitely know me… … .’
I was pretending not to know.
So I got more annoyed.
In a way, it was consideration for Ban Hye-jin to pretend not to know Hwang Da-bin.
In any case, Ban Hye-jin’s father, Geomshin, was the head of the organization her father worked for, and she was his daughter.
If Ban Hye-jin said a word to Geomshin, her father could be in trouble.
“If you have nowhere to go, there’s nothing you can do.”
What irritated me more than anything was Lee Si-woo’s attitude.
It was as if Ban Hye-jin had discovered a weakness, because he continued to agree with what Ban Hye-jin said.
“okay? It’s a good thing. “We decided to train anyway, so how about we all camp together?”
Everyone turned to look at Hwang Da-bin’s words.
The expression on his face asked if he really wanted to do that.
“Roommates, me, Yoo Ah-ram, Ji Tae-hoon, and you and Selina, plus Ban Hye-jin, there are seven of us? Is it possible?”
Jeong Joo-won asked Lee Si-woo.
I just said this half jokingly and half seriously because I didn’t want to lose to Ban Hye Jin.
“uh… … .”
“I love it! “A training camp!”
Yoo Ah-ram shouted.
“Well, if you’re going to train, a training camp isn’t a bad idea.”
Even Ji Tae-hoon agreed.
“Me too, I agree.”
When Selina agreed, Lee Si-woo responded with an expression that said there was nothing he could do.
“I’ll ask and come back.”
After Lee Si-woo said that and left the room, Ban Hye-jin suddenly spoke to Jeong Ju-won and Ji Tae-hoon.
“I have something to talk about with the ladies, so could you please leave the room for a moment?”
At those words, Jeong Ju-won quickly helped Ji Tae-hoon stand up.
“what? Why are you doing that? “Is this something we shouldn’t hear?”
Jeong Ju-won, who completely ignored Ji Tae-hoon’s words, took Ji Tae-hoon out of the room and spoke.
“Then, I hope you guys have a good conversation with each other.”
