A look of disdain as if looking at an insect.
Isshin spoke to Sumire in a freezingly cold voice.
“… … Sumire Hanajima. “You’re really shy.”
Sumire seemed to have expected this reaction and was cowering in fear. That kind of thing made Isshin even more angry.
“… … While I couldn’t see you. Have you become mute? “If you have a mouth, why don’t you at least make an excuse?”
“Well, I…” … . jeon… … .”
Sumire was about to say something but stopped. Isshin frowns even more.
Tuk.
Isshin stabbed Sumire on the forehead with the index finger of his left hand.
“… … okay. I guess there’s nothing I can say. Betray a party member. “Like you, who ran away to Korea.”
Sakura, who was watching Isshin, chuckled with an expression of boredom.
“Phew. It’s like that again. “I’m in high school, but I’m still like that?”
“hey! Isshin, stop! Fighting with a customer… … .”
Even Seiji, the party leader, tried to stop Isshin, but Isshin didn’t stop.
“… … It was a favor given out of pity for you. I also added it to my party. I also lent my hair to your unpleasant abilities. … … entire.”
Let Isshin aim. Sumire lowered her eyes and avoided gaze. Isshin looked at Shinyuseong and Sumire alternately, then smiled.
“By the looks of it, it looks like it’s going to be a competition. no way. Don’t do it. that is… … “You don’t think it’s your skill, do you?”
Isshin walked closer to Sumire and cursed in a quiet voice.
“… … Pretending to be so pitiful. Being attached to a strong person. “Is it your ability?”
“Well, I… … .”
Sumire repeats the same words like a broken music box. Isshin didn’t even blink.
“It’s like a parasite. … … hey. “Don’t do it.”
Isshin touched Sumire’s forehead again with the index finger of his left hand.
Tuk.
“japan.”
Tuk.
“korea.”
Tuk.
“Where next?”
Sumire remained silent despite Isshin’s questioning. A rumbling stomach. It was painful for her to face the past head on.
Before coming to study abroad, Sumire wanted to drop everything and run away from an uncomfortable situation. That’s all. I didn’t even think about the position of the remaining party members.
Sumire’s heart was too weak to endure and face the people she had hurt in the same place.
“Well, I… … I just… … .”
Drip.
Sumire sheds tears as Isshin interrogates her. Isshin tried to push Sumire’s forehead with his index finger again.
“Ask or answer… … . Ugh!”
Crack.
However, Isshin’s index finger was caught in Shin Yuseong’s hand. When Shin Yu-seong gave strength to his hand, Isshin’s expression became distorted.
“Tsk… … .”
“stop.”
Shin Yu-seong was calm as usual, but he was overwhelming those around him with his momentum alone.
“Yes, you… … “What do you know!”
Isshin shook off his hand and stepped back.
A power that makes your whole body tingle just by being held for a moment. Isshin frowned.
“This! The two of us… … .”
Shinyuseong stood in front of Sumire, ignoring Isshin.
“It doesn’t matter what happened between you two.”
Shin Yu-seong’s calm and quiet tone.
Even though Sumire’s hands were shaking, she was holding on to Shin Yusung’s collar. Isshin saw this and his eyes narrowed frighteningly.
But the opponent is Shin Yu-seong.
“Sumire is Korea’s representative. He came here to attack the Castle of Dreams.”
Shin Yu-seong was not angry.
Rather, he was ignoring his own emotions as much as possible and looking at Isshin.
“Anymore. “I, the party leader, will not tolerate disrespect towards Sumire.”
“Before being the representative of Korea, Hanajima was Japanese… … . Ha, let’s end the story here.”
Isshin clicked his tongue at Sumire, saying she wasn’t worth dealing with, and turned toward the exit.
“I can’t turn my back on a traitor anyway.”
Seiji reached out his hand again to stop Isshin from leaving. However, Sakura, who was behind him, intervened with Seiji.
“Isshin. You really… … .”
“It’s okay, Seiji. “I will participate, so just let him go.”
Seiji is embarrassed and Sakura is relaxed.
In the end, when Isshin left, Seiji apologized to Shin Yusung and Sumire.
“… … sorry. You showed an ugly face to the Korean representatives. Especially Sumi… … . No, especially for Ms. Hanajima. “I apologize.”
Seiji and Sumire had already known each other since their middle school days. The point of contact between the two is, of course, Isshin. Sumire shook her head helplessly.
“Oh, no. It’s my fault… … . That’s right. … … Because I ran away from Japan without saying anything to my party members… … .”
“Hmm… … A handsome man came after a long time. Because of that hateful person, the atmosphere is so… … . “Ugh.”
Sakura sighed. Seiji summed up the situation in a familiar way.

“Then there’s nothing we can do. “Let’s form a party with the four of us like this!”
“that’s right. I don’t think we’re in the mood to plan a strategy. … … today! “Are you satisfied with what we talked about?”
Sakura, who said that, smiled brightly. When Choten’s students leave, the only ones left are Shinyuseong and Sumire.
“S-sorry… … . Shin Yu-seong… … . It’s because of me… … .”
Sumire was sitting down, hugging her knees, as if her legs had lost strength.
Unlike the excited look he first showed in Japan, he looked clearly dispirited.
“… … Well, as expected, for someone like me, it would have been better for me not to have come to Japan… … .”
Sumire smiles bitterly.
Only then did Shin Yu-seong understand why Sumire’s self-esteem had hit rock bottom when they first met. The past from middle school was a wound deeply engraved in Sumire’s heart.
“are you okay.”
“Huh?”
“The reason we came to Japan is to attack the Castle of Dreams. “Nothing has changed.”
Sumire nodded weakly at the words of the cool-headed Shin Yusung. Shin Yu-seong, the party leader, was someone he could rely on even in this situation. This is Shin Yu-seong’s own consolation.
dump.
Shin Yooseong sat down next to Sumire. The distance suddenly became closer. Embarrassed, Sumire swallowed her saliva.
“… … Poetry, Mr. Shin Yu-seong?”
Sumire’s upper lip trembled as she glanced at Shin Yusung from the corner of her eye. Let’s meet each other’s eyes for a moment. For some reason, Sumire’s face is becoming increasingly red.
“just… … , I am?”
Shin Yu-seong calmly spoke to Sumire, who suddenly broke down and stuttered.
“Sumire. What you said in the club room. remember?”
Sumire suddenly comes to her senses after hearing Shin Yu-seong’s words. This was right before I came to Japan. Sumire didn’t even need to search his memory.
“If it’s poor… … . “Is this the day you ate sukiyaki?”
For Sumire, sukiyaki is a food eaten on special occasions. Sumire introduced Shin Yooseong to talk with her family and that sukiyaki tastes better when she spends her time there.
“that’s right.”
Shin Yu-seong smiled slightly.
The same was true for Shin Yu-seong himself, who received help and learned something from his colleagues.
12 years of training at Mt. Musin.
Sumire taught Shin Yu-seong, who had no family, something he could never know while eating together.
People change because of people.
Shin Yu-seong was being influenced by his colleagues one by one, starting with small things. Only after spending time together did he realize that being with others is more enjoyable than being alone.
“I thought about it then. If I eat that food again. “Who should I eat with?”
No matter how much he thought about it, there was no one other than King Kwon who could call Shin Yu-seong family.
It was clear that it would be really fun to have a meal together after a long time and talk about what happened after the descent.
But at best. two people.
If you had to choose family next, who would it be?
Parents who abandoned you?
My older sister, Shin Hayoon?
Or is it the Sinnoh family?
Although they were obviously related by blood, they were absolutely not family by Shin Yu-seong’s standards. The family that Shin Yu-seong thinks and dreams of never abandons its members because of their characteristics.
“No matter what I think. “No one but you came to mind.”
“yes!? Well, then, well, we… … .”
Sumire, who was embarrassed by Shin Yooseong’s story, blushed to the point of getting hot. But there was nothing wrong with the story. The closest people to Shin Yu-seong, who had no family, were his teacher, King Kwon, and his fellow party members.
However, Sumire took the meaning differently.
‘Poetry, Mr. Shin Yu-seong… … family?’
Sumire tried to remain as calm as possible, but it was impossible. In his wild delusions, Sumire had already decided on names for his son and daughter.
Sumire has already completely forgotten about Isshin. Shin Yooseong spoke seriously while looking at Sumire who was suppressing a happy smile.
“that’s right. Because party members and colleagues mean that much to me.”
Sumire faces Shinyuseong.
Even as Sumire’s heart was pounding as if it was going to burst, Shin Yusung continued speaking calmly.
“So, that’s about it. Sumire I am not disappointed in you. “I’m not sending you back to Korea.”
A complete person who stays by my side no matter what happens. Perhaps this was the ideal family Shin Yu-seong wanted.
“… … “That’s what family is, right?”
Shin Yu-seong’s smile looks somewhat lonely. It was only then that Sumire realized.
[…] … So let’s keep helping each other. Because we are a party.]
that day.
What Shin Yusung said about being helpful to Sumire was true. It wasn’t just about conquering dungeons or competing against opponents.
Drip.
Sumire has been teased and called a crybaby since she was young, but today she feels unfair. She thought that anyone would cry in such a happy situation, knowing that she helped someone she admired.
What I’m shedding now are definitely tears of emotion that are different from usual. Sumire, who was about to open her mouth to say something, bit her lip again.
Kuuk.
Sumire bit her lip and looked at Shin Yusung. Shin Yusung, whom Sumire observed, was an upright and kind person to everyone. He knew that it was definitely not a favor directed only to himself.
but… .
Sniff.
Sumire sniffled loudly and nodded slowly.
“Well, if you don’t mind… … .”
Although Sumire is crying, her face somehow looks happy. Only then was Shin Yu-seong able to let go for an hour.
“Sniff! That, and… … I’ll also introduce my family to Yoosung! After a long time… … “I said you prepared sukiyaki as well.”
Sumire smiles brightly with swollen, red eyes. Shin Yooseong followed Sumire and smiled.
‘… … I’m looking forward to it. ‘Sukiyaki.’
