I wasn’t particularly surprised by the other person’s reaction.
Because I didn’t expect people to welcome Jang Tae-heon from the beginning.
It’s even stranger that people from other districts are welcoming us as we take our seats.
Since I wouldn’t be seeing him anymore since he’d be leaving the educational facility soon anyway, I tried to appease him a little.
“After talking to him, he doesn’t seem like a bad person. I brought him here because I thought he would be helpful to our area, so don’t worry too much.”
“If Seo Kang-rim says so, well… … . But still, be careful.”
The other person looked uneasy, but soon left.
It doesn’t matter since we won’t be seeing each other for a long time.
The problem is the Bihomun group.
In their previous life, Shin Soo-ah and Jang Tae-heon worked together and quickly became friendly, but in this life, there was no such connection.
I don’t think there will be any problems since neither of them have sharp personalities.
Just as I was about to return to the restaurant to talk to Jang Tae-heon, a cheerful voice was heard from somewhere.
“Ah, Seo Kang-rim! You’re here.”
Dokgo Jun, who appeared in the hallway, approached me with a lively face as soon as he saw me.
Even though he was causing such a ruckus in the snake’s room, he looked calm.
He glanced at my face and said.
“Is that a scar from the poison? That’s cool. It suits you well.”
“If you like it, I can make one for you. If you ask Yonghan, he can make it right away.”
As I was leaving the restaurant, Yong and Liny, who had followed me, were loitering around my feet.
The dragon glanced up at Dokgo Jun and then took on a wary expression.
Dokgo Jun looked at Yong and Lini with curious eyes and said.
“That’s not bad, but next time. By the way, doesn’t this guy have a name?”
Of course, I have to give it a name.
This is such a weird thing in so many ways that nothing comes to mind.
I rolled my head for a moment and then opened my mouth.
“Let’s do it with a dragonfly.”
“Are you serious?”
“… … Then the whirlwind.”
Dokgo Jun looked at her as if he was looking at something pitiful.
It’s not like anyone else but Dokgo Jun is looking at it like that.
“Then let’s do it with a bowl.”
“Isn’t that the name of a snake?”
“Where did you come from?”
“It’s an old cartoon. Don’t you know? It’s a cartoon based on the 12 zodiac signs. Ddolgi, Bbangyi, Hochi, Saechomi… .”
“I don’t know. Even if it’s a snake’s name, if you give it to a dragon, it’s a dragon’s name.”
The dragon, or rather, the dragon, had a sullen expression that made it hard to tell whether it liked it or not.
It just hits the floor with its tail.
Dokgo Jun looked at Yo-rong quietly and smiled.
“You brought something else besides the dragon? Was it a guy named Jang Tae-heon? Why did you bring him?”
Are you interested in Jang Tae-heon now?
I thought that would be the case for Dokgo Jun.
I responded appropriately, since he was a guy who was more dangerous to be interested in than to be hostile to.
“Because he seems useful. His abilities aren’t bad, and when I talked to him, it seemed like we could communicate well.”
“Hmm, really? Well, it didn’t look too bad as a meat shield. But that’s not all, is it?”
Dokgo Jun thinks I’m a regressor or a possessed person.
So I guess there must be some significance to bringing Jang Tae-heon.
Of course, I had no intention of playing to his rhythm.
“Even if it means something, I have no intention of telling you. How shameless of you to create such a fuss in the viper’s room.”
“The Viper’s Room… … That’s right. You really were like the main character.”
Dokgo Jun looked slightly intimidated.
It seemed like he had a little bit of regret.
“I reflected a little.”
“What?”
“Just because I felt like I was lacking so much.”
What part is lacking?
If it’s crazy, I’ve done enough.
Still, since he got Kangcheol’s attention, I decided to give him some consideration.
Dokgo Jun muttered with a strange expression on his face.
“I don’t think I’m of much help to you. At this rate, I’ll just… … . Ah.”
Dokgo Jun, who had been muttering as if possessed by a ghost, suddenly raised his head and looked back.
Before I knew it, Shin Soo-ah was approaching the restaurant.
When he saw her, Dokgo Jun smiled strangely and returned to his usual cheerful self.
“Okay, then I’ll go first. I have to finish something.”
“The deadline? Could it be a novel?”
“Of course. I’m a novelist. I’ve been on hiatus so I have to continue writing.”
Even in this situation, you are writing a novel.
I couldn’t tell if he was sincere or crazy.

No, there was no need to make a distinction.
Dokgo Jun is an honest crazy guy.
“Then I’ll go first. See you next time!”
Dokgo Jun said that and passed by Shin Soo Ah.
He made an excuse about the deadline, but in reality, it seemed like he was avoiding Shin Soo-ah.
Shin Soo-ah also spoke to me without even giving Dokgo Jun a glance.
“Mr. Kangrim, are you feeling better?”
“Yes, I’m fine. What about Shin Soo-ah?”
“I’m fine. I woke up early this morning and was resting. Did Dokgo Jun do something again?”
Somehow, the atmosphere between Shin Soo-ah and Dokgo Jun was not normal. It seemed like they were wary of Dokgo Jun.
Well, I guess I can’t just stay calm after seeing all the snakes being slaughtered in the viper’s room.
Because of that, many people were eliminated.
“Nothing happened.”
“Then that’s good. I wonder what Dokgo Jun is thinking… … Because of Dokgo Jun, the number of dropouts has increased, so the atmosphere is not so good these days. In the meantime, people from other districts have come over, so there are many people who are on guard… … .”
While the majority were eliminated, an outsider, Jang Tae-heon, came in.
To anyone who looked at it, the atmosphere was not one that would welcome him.
Dokgo Jun was also to blame for Jang Tae-heon not being welcomed.
“Still, I don’t think Jang Tae-heon is a bad person. He’s also quite capable.”
“If Seo Kang-rim brought him, he must be a good person.”
Even though I said that, I still felt a bit desolate.
I guess it’s because there isn’t as much of a bond between Jang Tae-heon and Shin Soo-ah as there was last time.
First of all, we need to bring the two of them closer together.
“Have you eaten, Shin Soo-ah?”
“Yes. I’d just like to have a cup of coffee.”
“Let’s go in together first.”
I entered the restaurant with Shin Soo-ah.
Jang Tae-heon, who was eating alone, glanced at me and Shin Soo-ah.
Shin Soo-ah also met his eyes and exchanged awkward glances.
“Hello. My name is Shin Su-ah, Seo Kang-rim’s colleague.”
“Oh, hello. My name is Jang Tae-heon. I used to be in District 3, but I was transferred to this district. Please take care of me.”
Jang Tae-heon grabbed her hand with an awkward expression.
The two men shook hands and let go.
… … An awkward atmosphere flowed.
“Then enjoy your meal. See you next time.”
After exchanging greetings with Jang Tae-heon, Shin Soo-ah just took her coffee and left the restaurant.
I thought we would at least have a chat, but he just left like this.
I glanced at Jang Tae-heon.
In his previous life, Jang Tae-heon followed Shin Soo-ah quite well.
The belligerent Jang Tae-heon was fascinated by Shin Su-ah’s strength and would request sparring matches at any time.
Jang Tae-heon looked at Shin Soo-ah leaving and asked me.
“Brother’s lover?”
“No. By the way, brother?”
“Yeah. If you’re older than me, you’re my brother.”
Until recently, people used to call me “hey” or “you little punk”, but now the term has become more friendly.
I’m glad that you’ve gotten closer to me than I thought…
Jang Tae-heon said as he munched on the remaining food.
“I need to eat quickly and go to the Demonic Realm. I need to do it quickly because I have to wake up from the beginning again.”
“Are you planning to do it alone?”
“I think people here hate me anyway. And I can do it alone.”
With Jang Tae-heon’s ability, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to do it alone.
But I still need to get to know other people, so I think I’ll ask my twin sisters or Shin Soo Ah to go with me.
While I was thinking about that for a moment, Jang Tae-heon looked at me intently and said.
“By the way, bro, I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
“Brother, do you have a guardian angel?”
When I shook my head, Jang Tae-heon’s face seemed to brighten for a moment.
He said with an excited face.
“Oh really? I thought it would be obvious, but thank goodness! Brother, I’ll introduce you to a good god!”
… … What a good god.
It’s almost like the tone of someone selling a cult or multi-level marketing scheme.
Even though my expression must have been stiff, Jang Tae-heon paid no attention and continued speaking.
“My guardian angel, Jangbi, really liked you, hyung!”
“So the equipment wants to take care of me?”
“No, it’s not my guardian deity. Another guardian deity from the same faction wants to scout you. Was Shinmyeong a hero who couldn’t live without you?”
If there is a hero who is inseparable from life, it is Liu Bei, Zhang Fei’s older brother and lord.
It was a god so good that anyone else would kneel to receive it, but I wasn’t interested.
“I have no intention of receiving a guardian angel.”
“Oh, why? If you receive it, you’ll become much stronger! And if you receive the hero of the undying spirit, you’ll also be able to use a special ability. Is it the ability called the Peach Garden Oath?”
A kind of synergy effect occurs among the gods who worship the guardian deity of the same faction.
When the three Wanshins who serve Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei meet, the ‘Peach Garden Oath’ effect is activated.
It was an ability that rapidly increased the abilities of three people.
At first glance, it seems like an attractive ability, but the penalty is also severe.
When making the Peach Garden Oath, it was like the oath that “even if the days of birth are different, the days of death will be the same”, if one person dies, the rest will die immediately as well.
I had no intention of taking that risk.
I changed the subject without showing it even though I knew the fact.
“If it’s the Peach Garden Oath, isn’t it something that three people swear by? Even if I try, I think one person will be missing.”
“Oh, that’s right. The three of them need to gather. The hero who is inseparable from life is Liu Bei, and there needs to be someone who serves Guan Yu.”
“Who do you want to be with Guan Yu? Dokgo Jun?”
The only person who doesn’t have a full body right now is Dokgo Jun.
However, as soon as Jang Tae-heon heard Dokgo Jun’s name, his expression became as if he had swallowed rotten food.
“If it’s Dokgo Jun, then that bastard, right? The bastard who killed all the snakes in the viper’s room. I find bastards like that the most disgusting.”
Were you watching that scene?
Well, even if that wasn’t the case, it was obvious that she would hate Dokgo Jun.
From Jang Tae-heon’s point of view, who is loyal, there is no way he would like Dokgo Jun, who moves only for interest.
“Then who are you going to make it? Most people have a guardian angel.”
“… … That person earlier also had a guardian angel? I think he said Ms. Shin Soo-ah.”
I felt a little strange when he mentioned Shin Soo-ah.
Why Shin Soo Ah?
Jang Tae-heon said with an embarrassed smile.
“Somehow I feel like I can treat that person as my older sister. She seems familiar to me… … .”
As he said that, his eyes became thoughtful for a moment.
It was a look in his eyes as if he was recalling memories.
“Isn’t it strange? Why does it feel familiar? As if we’ve met somewhere before… … .”
You think you met Shin Soo Ah?
As far as I know, this is the first time the two of them have met here.
Am I mistaken, or… … .
“Is there anyone else you’re familiar with besides Ms. Shin Soo-ah?”
“Hmm. When you saw me, you seemed familiar? I thought you were the kid who got in a fight with me in the past.”
I was also one of the people that Jang Tae-heon felt familiar with.
Is it a coincidence that he feels familiar only with the Bihomun group?
Or maybe the memories from before the regression still remain in my subconscious?
“By the way, hyung, let’s get possessed. Let’s become sworn brothers!”
“no.”
“I told you it would be good for you too, hyung. My guardian angel will give you full support!”
