MEMORIZE Chapter 475

00475 Now that I think about it, words aren’t enough and I think I’ll have to take it in stone. ————————————————– ———————-=

Monica, a small southern town. A city where the Mercenary Clan first settled and is managed by the Istantel Low Clan.

Mercantilery has made a lot of progress over the years, but Istantel Row has not been idle. As the representative clan of Monica, he worked harder than any other clan and worked on internal management and external stabilization.

As a result, today’s Monica has surpassed other small cities and has been evaluated as being almost similar to an ordinary city.

There are two main criteria for users to select their city of residence.

First of all, it has to be safe. If the outside of the city were so full of monsters that activities were impossible, only a few users would be reluctant.

And secondly, there should be no inconvenience in living inside the city.

In other words, it was a self-evident principle that users would follow the safer and more livable city.

Han So-young understood those standards very well. As the city grew, he also paid more attention to internal management, one of which was public security.

To take just one example among many, as good rumors about Monica spread and users flocked to it, the streets at night also became active to keep up with it.

It was a natural thing, but Han So-young was not one to just sit by and watch it happen.

Han So-young’s stance on Streets of Night is simple.

‘If you want to do it, make sure you don’t get caught.’

In other words, Monica does not tolerate going out on the streets at night, except in cases where it is unavoidable (prostitution for a living, etc.), and you must be prepared the moment you are caught.

At first, street users at night scoffed. In the meantime, there were no restrictions on streets at night at all. However, I thought it would be enough to hand over a portion of the profits in the form of a down payment as I had done so far, and if it was not possible, I could just go to another city.

However, Han So-young took action the day after giving the warning. They suddenly raided the streets at night and arrested about 20 people as examples. And those twenty users were all and publicly executed in Monica’s square.

In some ways, it was a big incident, but the public execution incident went by more smoothly than expected. In the first place, the authority to manage the city rested solely with the representative clan, and it was not as if there had been no warning. Also, the fact that the users who were executed were ordinary users without any special connections also played a role.

Han So-young sternly warned that she would respond in the same way the next time something like this happens, and the incident was put to an end as the streets of the night held their breath.

Of course, there were many people who could not give up the good market called Monica, but Han So-young caught them every time and cut off their heads without exception.

As a result, almost no night markets can be found in Monica to date. Users who were tired of Han So-young’s persistence eventually chose to leave for another city.

In fact, it was around this time that the term ‘Queen of Iron Blood’ changed from a true name to a title.

The users who left criticized Han So-young as a woman without blood or tears, saying that she took advantage of Istantel Rowe’s military power to cause unnecessary bloodshed.

There is nothing much to say about city management since it is a subjective matter, but Han So-young was that kind of woman. She stands up for what she thinks is right, and she does not hesitate to risk blood if necessary. Perhaps this decisiveness is what created the Istantel Row of the future.

Thinking like that, I suddenly lifted my gaze and stared at the other side.

“… … .”

Across from me, Soyoung Han was sitting quietly eating noodles.

The place I am now is the restaurant of the Istantel Low Clan. I visited Istantel Row at the appointed time and when asked if I had eaten yet, I answered yes and received an invitation from Han So-young to eat.

Since the appointment itself had been made suddenly in the first place, I felt taken aback by the sudden request, but I wasn’t one to turn it down. I was able to accept the recommendation with a willing heart.

In fact, I felt puzzled for a moment that the place Han So-young guided me to was the cafeteria, but I understood after taking a bite of the food. The cooks at Istantel Row were almost as good as our clan.

anyway. It was quite surprising that he didn’t have an expression on his face or make the slightest noise while eating, but in fact, there was a different reason why I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

Han So-young is now 30, the same age as a plate of eggs. But on the outside, she doesn’t look 30 at all. no. Rather, it could be said that as she got older, her original charm became more intense.

The black crystal-like eyes exude a strange magical power that seems to absorb those who look at them. The pursed lips move slowly, as if chewing noodles, and the light, red color can’t possibly look so bright and sexy.

“Whoa… .”

“?”

I sighed deeply. Really, a woman named Han So-young… . What on earth should I say?

I feel it every time I meet him, but every time I see him, I am reminded that I am also a man in the end.

Maybe it was her unique ability and charisma that captivated people like this, but the charm of a woman named Han So-young was also formidable.

On the outside, she literally looked like a cold, charismatic woman befitting the Queen of Iron Blood, but she sheds a subtle lust in every little gesture or action.

The synergy created by the harmonization of these opposing charms was truly incredible. Even I, who had raised my eyesight to the highest level, was being affected.

Anyway, I couldn’t keep staring like this, so I forced my gaze down. However, the gaze that fell on me was on my chest. At that moment, my heart, which was bigger than I thought, came to mind and I looked up at Han So-young, and a signal came naturally to my body. I closed my legs and sighed deeply again. I thought to myself that it was the worst.

After a while, Han So-young seemed to have finished eating and put down her chopsticks and I followed them. While Han So-young emptied it completely, I wasn’t even able to empty half of it.

Soyoung Han glanced at my bowl for a split second and blinked quickly twice. That was a sign that he was a little embarrassed. Does she think she ate too fast?

Han So-young, who was quietly looking at the bowl, soon looked at me intently. I pulled the chair as far forward as possible and smiled awkwardly. Han Soyoung’s head tilted slightly.

“Merchantry Lord? “Do you not like the food?”

“no. it’s okay. “It’s very delicious.”

“There’s no need to force yourself to eat it… . I’m OK. “Then would you like to have a cup of tea in the office?”

“yes? Oh, no. It’s really okay. ha ha ha.”

If I wake up now, I’ll be in big trouble. There is no way Han So-young wouldn’t notice. Thinking like that, I desperately(?) picked up the chopsticks that I had put down. At the same time, he used one of his tricks, changing the topic.

“Oh, now that I think about it, I think you have something to say… . “I don’t think I’ve heard it yet.”

It was like that. The stories I’ve had with Han So-young so far have all been trivial. The attack on the mountain range where the dragon sleeps, the investigation team departing yesterday, etc.

They were both busy, and Han So-young’s personality wouldn’t have called her to talk about trivial things like this, so there was probably something else to talk about.

“I see. Actually, I saw the record released by Mercantile yesterday.”

Then, as if my thoughts were correct, Han So-young got straight to the point. I guessed that something roughly similar would be said, so I nodded and put my head down.

“You are talking about work with the Union. yes. But what?”

“It’s nothing bad, but… . “I can’t help but think that Mercenary Lord’s choice this time is a bit unexpected.”

“It’s surprising. I have no other intention. I have no intention of moving to the Koran, just see it as it is.”

“no. Mercenary Road. That’s not what I’m saying. What I want to say is… .”

He said there was no need to worry, but instead, Han So-young calmly shook his head. And she continued her words while looking straight at me.

“I would like to say that if you look at it as it is, the movement of the union is a little strange.”

“… … .”

“I won’t take it back. If there was any incident with the union, you can tell me. Because Istantel Row and Mercanary are an attack-defense alliance.”

“… haha.”

Is it really Han So-young? Or did he think this choice was unclear and just say it once? I don’t know, but either way, it was something I was thankful for.

Although Istantel Row followed an independent path similar to ours, it was a union that clearly belonged to the South, like the Koran Union. However, they are saying that they will help us, who are not affiliated clans.

Anyway, I feel good. The Koran Alliance is also a decent clan, and saying something like this was proof that Han So-young was holding Mercenary even higher.

But I decided to refuse. She doesn’t want to drag Han So-young into this, and thinks that being a mercenary is enough.

“no. it’s okay. It’s not like we have anything to do with the alliance, it’s just something we did with good intentions. Of course, we are aiming for other effects as well.”

“… is that so?”

“yes. Still, thank you for saying that. Just in case, if something difficult comes up, I will make sure to ask Istantel Row.”

“yes. Yes please. I have received many things from the Mercantile Clan so far… . ah. If you don’t like noodles, have a cup of tea… .”

“Slurp, slurp.”

“… bon appetite.”

They tell me to enjoy it, but it keeps bothering me so I don’t even know what it tastes like anymore. But who to blame?

I inhaled the noodles in a sullen mood, blaming my younger brother for not having calmed down yet.

As I was eating the noodles as slowly as possible, I suddenly saw Han So-young stirring the soup with chopsticks. It doesn’t seem like he’s doing this because he’s bored, and it looks like he has something to say.

Then Han So-young lifted her eyes and glanced at me. It seems like his foresight has increased today.

“The Mercenary Lord… . “It’s always like that.”

“yes?”

“Is it really like that? I like to give… . But I didn’t receive it… . I wonder sometimes. “Why are you so kind to me and Istantel Row?”

“… “Slurp.”

I sucked the noodles in my mouth.

What she said a moment ago was something that could have been said, considering Han So-young’s position. They gave us a lot of high-quality information without expecting anything in particular, and it became the driving force behind Istantel Row’s rapid growth.

Now that I think about it, I think I’ve been asked a similar question before… .

At the time, I was shocked because I didn’t expect it, but now I am different.

I smiled and opened my mouth. It is best to give vague answers to ambiguous questions.

“That’s simple.”

“?”

“When we first settled in Monica, Istantel Row Road was very kind to us. “They give me various jobs and give me the clan house cheaply.”

“I did.”

“That’s right. Of course it won’t be exactly the same… . “You can think of it as being in a similar context.”

“… is it so?”

Han So-young answered calmly, then lowered her eyes and stirred the bowl again. And I had to feel a little dazed.

Han So-young is so good at taking care of her face that she can be called the queen of poker faces. However, since she is a human being, it is impossible for her to have no emotions at all, and as I have been with Han So-young for a long time, I was able to read her emotions in her every little action.

If so. Han So-young’s behavior just now was a habit, or a habit, that appears when she doesn’t quite like something.

Did I make some mistake?

… No matter how much I think about it, I can’t find an answer. In the end, I tried my hand at it again. When I thought about it, there was one thing I was curious about. I put down my chopsticks and took out the sword I brought from the clan warehouse. One of the biggest achievements this time was the Sword of Oath.

“Oops. Istantel Row Road. “I have one question.”

“What are you curious about?”

“Would you like to look at this sword for a moment? “This is a piece of equipment called the Sword of Oath, which I obtained from the Dragon Sleeping Mountains.”

“Sword of oath… ?”

I couldn’t bring goose applique. Actually, there is no need. In any case, Han So-young has a very broadly applicable ability called extrasensory perception, so she can judge on her own whether the Sword of Oath is good or bad.

When I hold the handle so I can see it clearly, the pretty black crystal moves down. The moment I was about to hand it over, I was able to see that a strong expression passed through my once blinked eyes.

I flinched for a moment. And while debating whether to give it or not, I soon moved the sword slightly to the left. Then Han So-young’s eyes followed to the left.

… what?

When I move it to the right, it follows to the right. When I move it to the left again, it follows me to the left again. As if in a pendulum motion, Soyoung Han’s eyes constantly followed me as I led the sword of oath.

I think Han So-young, as expected, recognized the value of the Sword of Oath. It seems like greed naturally arose. She had an expressionless face and rolled her eyes a lot, but she was actually very refreshing and funny.

Eventually, I couldn’t hold it in anymore, and I ended up bursting out into a weak laugh without realizing it.

“Kick.”

It was then.

Han So-young’s eyes suddenly opened wide, perhaps because she heard laughter.

Eventually, Soyoung Han slowly, very slowly raised her head.

And although his face was expressionless as always, I could see clearly. The face suddenly hardened and the eyes became colder.

I felt like it was a mistake and at the same time became completely dumb.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After a moment of cold silence, Soyoung Han leaned on the desk and stood up a little harder. She then spoke in an icy voice.

“I’m going to leave now.”

“Yes, yes? Where… .”

“I’ll just leave.” I’m busy with work. “You don’t have to see me off.”

“What is that… ? No, it’s not a sendoff. This is the Istantel Low Clan… .”

I explained calmly. Han So-young seemed lost in thought for a moment. And after a second she looked dazed and I could clearly see she was glaring at me and biting her lip so hard. Since it was rare for her to show her emotions to this extent, she suddenly felt like something had happened.

“… It was really refreshing to meet you today. It was great to see a new side of Mercenary Road. “Okay then.”

“Now, just a moment.”

She got up late, but Han So-young turned her body so that she could hear the wind and walked away. I stared at Han So-young’s back in disbelief, blowing away the cold wind. Although she was curious, she thought back to her old days for a moment and played around with her. She thought that even if she made a mistake, she really made a mistake.

Just as Han So-young was about to open the door, the door burst open and someone came in first. It was Yeon Hye-rim.

Yeon Hye-rim looked at me and Han So-young alternately, then grabbed her arm with a puzzled look on her face.

“uh? Soyoung Han? Where?”

“Move.”

“no. There’s still Mercenary Road… .”

“I told you to get out of the way. “Can’t you hear me?”

Han So-young lightly shook her arm and opened the door and went out. Startled, Yeon Hye-rim took a step or two back and let out a strange moan. She then came up to me and asked with a half curious and half chagrined look on her face.

“hey. Mercenary Road. Why is he acting like that all of a sudden? “Why are you so upset?”

“… Are you upset? “You’re not angry?”

“ok. When he’s angry, his eyebrows don’t go up like that. Rather calm. When your face turns red and you bite your lip, it means you’re clearly sulking. how is it. “Good information, right?”

“… “Is that so?”

Come to think of it, I couldn’t check the color of the face.

Seeing Yeon Hye-rim smiling, I smiled bitterly at her.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

I once said that I would vote down Han So-young.

At the time, many readers opposed it, but I eventually went ahead with it. To reduce Han So-young’s votes.

To that end, I drew an obnoxious Han So-young on purpose.

ruler. How is it.

Despite your opposition, I voted down Soyoung Han.

I am such a scary person.

P.S. Anyone who can guess which parody it is is awesome.
