Episode 151 Encryption
-Inside the Black Market, in the room where the teleportation portal exists.
-Wooooow~-
Was it really a stroke of genius to turn me into a child?
Unlike Gi-woo, Am-hwa and I were able to escape Black City safely without any trouble.
-Stick-
‘By the way, oh my… my head hurts… . It usually doesn’t hurt when I go out. Is it because my abilities have been reduced by half as I’ve gotten older… .’
Then suddenly, it occurred to me that it might be because all the accumulated fatigue had come rushing back at me at once.
There were a lot of twists and turns in Black City today.
‘But it wasn’t all bad. If you just look at the results, not only me, but my seniors were safe. On the contrary, there were a lot of things I gained… .’
Starting with becoming friends with Ryan Blade, a warrior who would later become the key to preventing destruction.
To be honest, it’s a bit of a waste, but anyway, I plan to give the Shadow Dagger to Jinyong as a gift.
Strange candy and the resulting <Delicate Hands> skill level increase.
An oasis cup that creates purified water and drinking water, items related to angels.
The skill <Reflection> that I had been looking for so long and a massive amount of VP, totaling 3700.
The precious relationship between Seonhwa, Seolhwa, and Amhwa, the vice-leader of the Baekhwa Guild.
Above all else.
The last warrior of Jeong So-cheon, known as the legend, became the master of Bi-un (飛雲).
‘I got all this in just one day….’
At that time.
-Beetle-
With accumulated fatigue.
Is it because all the tension was released in an instant at the thought that it was all over now?
Before I knew it, my legs gave out and I stumbled… .
-Snap-
I almost fell to the floor.
The dark figure quickly bent down and grabbed me, supporting me so I wouldn’t fall.
“Are you alright, little disciple?”
Immediately after that, a worried voice from the secret phone can be heard.
To her question, I nodded slowly and answered that it was okay.
“… Oh, yes. I’m okay. I guess I was just a little tired.”
“I understand. You’ve had a lot going on today.”
“Haha, that’s true… Ah, Master Bugild. Thank you again. Not only did you save my life, you even helped me escape… I’ll definitely repay this favor someday.”
“… … .”
Then, in response to my sudden expression of gratitude, Amhwa stared at me silently for a moment, then shook her head slightly and opened her mouth.
“No. As I said before, I was just doing what was natural. But first, let’s take off the heavy shackles.”
“…Uh, can I release this now?”
“Yes, not only my little disciple, but I also do that when moving other children. If you go out of the Black Market with handcuffs on, you might be misunderstood by those around you.”
“Oh, now that I think about it, that’s true.”
-Swoosh-
“Then let’s solve it.”
After that, the demon knelt down on one knee, leveled himself with me, and began to undo the shackles on my neck and arms and legs, one by one.
-Clang-
-Clang-Clang-
Meanwhile, the magician frees himself from his shackles.
Since I had nothing else to do, I just stared blankly at the white masked figure in front of me.
-Sick of it-
‘The original dark gray is fine, but black suits you very well too.’
By the way, Enchantment wasn’t a child like me either.
Because of the clash with the guys at the auction house, I was worried that my identity would be revealed, so I changed my hair and eye color using a disguise artifact.
‘And just in case, you even took off the blindfold you were wearing… .’
As my thoughts reached that point, I unconsciously fixed my gaze on the dark flower’s right eye.
-Glance-
With a short vertical scar.
Her right eye was painted a smoky gray color.
Although the encryption wasn’t mentioned separately.
It was presumed that the wounds were caused by severe abuse during his childhood as a slave.
‘… … .’
At that moment, I was staring at the dark eyes with a complicated look in my eyes for a moment.
-Crunch-
“It’s all done. Now, please take off your clothes. I’ll give you some clothes to change into…”
Maybe it was because I was looking at it too openly.
It seemed as if the dark magician who had freed me from all the shackles had noticed my gaze… .
-Swoosh-
Soon, she turned her head slightly to the side, avoiding my gaze.
He suddenly apologized to me in a slightly embarrassed voice.
“… I’m sorry, little disciple. I’ve shown you an ugly sight. I’ll put the blindfold back on right away.”
Finally, the secret message ended with those words.

He quickly took out the blindfold from his bosom, took off the mask he was wearing, and tried to put the blindfold on right away.
But at that moment.
-Snap-
I reached out my small hand and stopped the dark hand from moving the blindfold towards my face.
And then right away.
“No, it’s not ugly at all.”
In a serious voice, I denied the words that the dark magician had said and honestly told him how I had felt.
“I didn’t think it was ugly. On the contrary, it was so beautiful that it was dazzling. The eyes of the leader of the bugild were filled with a warm heart for children.”
I was sincere.
It was clear to my eyes.
Not some ugly scar that can’t be erased.
This is her noble determination not to let her children experience the same pain she did.
“And I liked it. That such a kind and wonderful person was the Vice-Guild Leader of the Baekhwa Guild.”
“… … .”
Meanwhile, Amhwa, who had heard my true feelings, avoided my gaze and remained silent for a while.
But that silence was short-lived.
-Swoosh-
The shadow soon turned its head towards me and looked straight into my eyes, no longer avoiding them.
Then, as if she had something to say to me, she began to move her pink lips slowly with a serious expression.
“me too…….”
But at that moment.
-Click-
“Um…? Who are you? I heard voices so I came to check…”
Suddenly the door opened and a man’s voice was heard.
The story of the secret had no end and was soon forced to change into something else.
“… It’s me, Kim Min-soo.”
“Huh? Oh, you were my senior? I didn’t recognize you because your appearance changed, haha.”
***
Anyway, after that, a black market branch manager named Kim Min-soo came into the room.
“You’ve been coming over more often today than usual. Do you miss me…?”
“… … .”
“… No, that’s not it. Are you here to deliver the child to the customer this time?”
“… Yeah, I got an urgent call. Please take care of it today.”
“I see. By the way, he’s still cute and handsome even though he’s young. I can’t help but think that the customer who bought this handsome guy is him, right? He likes that blue color…”
“…that’s right.”
“When he grows up, he’ll probably make quite a few girls cry. But before that, he’ll probably end up crying himself, hehe.”
“… … .”
As someone who had to act as a slave child, I couldn’t say anything in response to that guy Kim Min-soo’s strangely unpleasant words, and had to just remain silent.
-Swoosh-
While talking to Kim Min-soo, the dark artist who had put on a blindfold and changed his appearance to his original form took out clothes from the subspace ring and handed them to me, opening his mouth briefly.
“Change into this.”
-Nod-
After that, Encryption confirmed that I was nodding.
He turned his gaze back to Kim Min-soo and continued the conversation.
“What did you say? Are you checking?”
“Oh, you’re talking about the people who detonated the magic control artifact? Yes, we’re checking it out thoroughly. After you mentioned it to me, Black City sent down an official document. This time, it looks like Black City won’t just let it go.”
“… Really? So you were at the branch here too?”
Then, in response to the question about the secret, Kim Min-su immediately nodded his head in agreement.
“Yes, there have been about three so far.”
“What are those people’s identities?”
“All three were A-class players, the first one was a man named Son Hyun-soo… … .”
one side.
‘I guess this is a story about the guys who attacked me… .’
-Sarak-
I listened to their conversation for a moment, but then quickly changed my attention and started to focus on changing my clothes.
Because I already knew what group those guys belonged to.
‘In the story, they are the only ones who use titles like first-class priest and special priest, so it’s probably true.’
The true identity of these guys is ‘Mashin Cult’.
They are like the villain group Black Wings.
Masin… that is, a group of fanatics whose goal was to resurrect the devil and lead the world to destruction.
To put it simply, it was convenient to think of it as another villain group.
The only difference between Black Wing and Black Wing is the number of people.
Unlike the Black Wings, who are believed to be a small elite force.
That’s because they are like cockroaches, popping out from all over the world and accelerating the chaos in the world.
‘Perhaps they thought that the master of the Jeongsocheon Armament could interfere with their goals, so they tried to eliminate me.’
Additionally, the reason why I don’t bother to listen to the information about the people coming out of Kim Min-soo’s mouth right now is simple.
‘It’s pointless to find those guys and interrogate them…’
Even if you just look at the original, it was like that.
The main character, Han Su-yeon, also had frequent conflicts with the Masin Church.
By capturing them, the information we could obtain was all the same, only one thing.
[Everything is for the sake of the Lord and the leader.]
Only those were the words they left behind just before they died.
‘Should I say it’s forbidden? Even when I used mind-controlling abilities, the result was always the same… .’
So of course.
In the current situation, it was clear that it would be impossible to even find a clue, let alone uproot those guys.
‘The problem is that it’s not just now, but in the future as well. Hmm… if we intervene in the incidents caused by the demon cult guys in the future, what will come out… ‘
-Stick-
But soon.
I couldn’t finish the thought I was having.
‘I’m so tired… .’
Along with the headache that had been persisting since I came through the portal earlier.
This was because fatigue was creeping into my whole body and I was feeling drowsy.
‘Honestly, I can’t even stand now… .’
Then, a little while later.
Kim Baram, who had been trying to hold on at least until he got out of the black market, eventually.
-s …
Unable to overcome the weight of my eyelids, which were becoming increasingly heavy, I ended up closing my eyes.
And at the same time, he leaned towards the floor as he went straight to dreamland with his backpack.
-Slurp-
But at that moment.
-Snap-
-Derong delong-
Thanks to the secret that reached out to Kim Baram right away.
His head never hit the floor.
-Swoosh-
After a while, Amhwa lifted Kim Baram up and carefully held him in her arms so that he could sleep comfortably.
At that time.
Kim Min-soo’s jealous voice can be heard from ahead.
“Not only is it bad enough to fall asleep while you’re a slave, but you’re also so presumptuous to be held in your arms. Should I wake you up and correct your bad habits, sir?”
As soon as Kim Min-soo finished speaking,
-Ugh-
The sage was momentarily angered by what he had said, and tried to reveal his murderous intent.
“Hmm… , it’s warm… .”
With the sound of Kim Baram’s sleep talking coming right away.
-Glance-
-Crunch crunch-
When I saw his cute face in a sweet sleep, I felt like my anger was melting away in an instant.
Then, she briefly smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth, then quickly changed her expression to a cold one and opened her mouth briefly to Kim Min-soo.
“Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way. We have to go quickly.”
***
Not long after that.
“Take care on your way, Grand Master.”
“huh.”
-Tinkle tinkle-
Enchantment and Kim Baram have even been able to completely escape the black market.
-Thump thump-
‘Disciple, you can go to the Baekhwa Guild and leave it to the guild master.’
-Glance-
After that, Amhwa, who was walking down the stairs, suddenly looked at Kim Baram, who was sleeping soundly in her arms with a happy face.
‘I probably won’t be seeing you as a disciple in the future…’
I don’t know why.
I felt very sorry.
-Stop-
“… … .”
No, after thinking about it carefully.
I think I know a little bit why.
To be honest, when I first met you, disciple.
I didn’t feel anything for him.
Simply because he is the disciple of the guild leader whom he greatly respects.
I just thought I should be more considerate.
‘Rather, I might have been a little worried… .’
Of course, it’s not that I don’t trust the guild leader’s judgment.
I was worried and anxious that my disciple might have an evil nature and that the guild leader might be hurt because of it.
But the secret was quickly realized through what happened today.
That was his own great misunderstanding and delusion.
The disciple was not that kind of person.
Far from being evil, he was actually a very warm and kind person.
It was in front of the auction house that the huge wall of misunderstanding and prejudice against cryptography began to crack.
[No. How can you leave the leader behind? Let’s just watch next time.]
In a situation where there was not enough money, one person was unable to enter the auction house.
The disciple gave up on going to the auction house without delay.
Seeing that sight, Amhwa thought.
The disciple may at least not be a bad person.
Not long after that.
The wall of misunderstanding she had built up was starting to crack and split.
When the story was put up for auction, the disciple had an angry expression on his face, unlike others.
In addition, when he won the auction for the painting, only then did his tense expression loosen and he let out a sigh of relief.
Amhwa, who had been watching this whole scene, could be certain.
That the disciple is absolutely not a bad person.
And finally.
[Thank you. I’m sorry for only receiving.]
[Thank you so much again. Not only did you save my life, but you also helped me escape… I will definitely repay this favor someday.]
With the disciple’s sincere gratitude towards himself.
Amhwa, who encountered Kim Baram’s kind attitude and warm gaze towards the children… .
-Thump-
I could immediately feel the wall of misunderstanding I had been holding on to completely crumbling down.
Also, at the same time, the encryption could be felt.
-Sick of it-
That is to say, an inexplicable feeling towards Kim Baram was growing bigger and bigger in his heart.
‘It feels a little different from the feelings I have for the guild leader. It’s a little more poignant…’
At that moment, I don’t know why.
She recalled what the young Kim Baram had said to her with a serious face a little while ago.
[I didn’t think it was ugly. On the contrary, it was so beautiful that it was dazzling. Because the eyes of the leader of the bugild were filled with a warm heart for children.]
-Thump thump-
It was the first time.
The person who looks into his own ugly eyes and says such things and makes such expressions.
‘First… , now that I think about it, a kiss… .’
And then suddenly.
It’s scary to recall those memories from back then with Kim Baram.
-Whaaaak-
With a sudden feeling of my face getting hot.
Feeling a tickle in his chest, Amhwa quickly shook his head to erase the memory.
-Twitching-
Anyway, after a while like that.
“Phew… .”
Amhwa, who had barely managed to control his growing emotions, soon turned his head and stared at Kim Baram.
“… … .”
And then, Amhwa, who had been moving her lips for a while, finally belatedly said to Kim Baram the words she had not been able to say earlier.
“I also liked it… It was nice that the guild master’s disciple was someone with a kind and warm heart like Baramnim.”
After those words, Amhwa noticed that her face was getting hot again.
I tried to ignore it and told him what I had decided to do today and what I truly wanted to say to him.
“So, if you ever need my help in the future, please come to me anytime. If the Wind calls, I will come running right away to help you. … I will be waiting too.”
-Tiring-
[Player ‘Kim Baram’s’ unique ability <Irregular> is activated.]
[You have gained the favor of the character ‘Amhwa’. You will receive 100 VP. Amhwa’s current favorability toward Kim Baram is ‘Interest’.]
[You have gained the favor of the character ‘Amhwa’. You will receive 100 VP. Amhwa’s current favorability toward Kim Baram is ‘Interest’.]
***
Anyway, after that, she secretly revealed her determination to Kim Baram, who was sleeping like that.
-Thump thump-
“Excuse me… Excuse me. Just a moment!”
-Stop-
As Amhwa was walking towards the Baekhwa Guild, he suddenly stopped walking when he heard a woman’s voice next to him and turned his head towards it.
‘Those people….’
Then, there was a man and a woman quickly approaching her with anxious expressions on their faces.
“That… is that person you know? Do you happen to know what happened to him?”
Their true identities are Shin Yul and Peng Hojin.
In fact, after they safely escaped Black City.
Instead of returning home, he waited in front of the Black Market, desperately waiting for Kim Baram to come out safely.
“… … .”
Meanwhile, the man who had been questioned by them remained silent for a moment, contemplating whether or not to tell them the truth.
“Hey, woman. Why aren’t you answering? Answer quickly.”
“Hold on tight, Hojin! Don’t you really not know?”
At that time.
Shin Yul and Peng Hojin asked the question again with worried expressions on their faces… .
‘…I guess it’s okay if I tell you.’
After noticing their earnest expressions, Amhwa quickly made a decision and turned her body slightly so that Kim Baram, who was holding her in her arms, could be seen by them.
-Swoosh-
“Why is this kid suddenly… … .”
“If you look closely, you will see.”
Shin Yul and Peng Hojin put aside their doubts for a moment at the meaningful words of the following code and stared at the face of Kim Baram, who was sleeping soundly.
And soon enough, they were able to immediately discern the child’s true identity.
“…the wind?”
“… He’s a little cute and handsome, but I think he’s right.”
After that, the enigma added a short explanation to help them understand the long and tedious explanation.
“In order to safely pass through the portal, you have taken a potion that will make you difficult for a certain period of time. After that, I will leave you in the care of Master Baram, so you can rest assured. Then, I will take my leave now.”
And then, after quickly finishing his explanation, Amhwa bowed his head slightly to Shin Yul and Peng Hojin.
-Thump thump-
I started walking quickly to go back to the Baekhwa Guild.
But at that moment.
“Now, just a moment!”
Shin Yul’s voice urgently calling out for help.
-Stop-
And at the sound of Shin Yul’s voice, which sounded so urgent, Amhwa stopped walking for a moment, wondering what was left to do, and turned his head toward Shin Yul.
-Swoosh-
Then, there was Shin Yul, shoving his cell phone at Amhwa with his eyes sparkling.
“…What is this?”
As soon as Amhwa, who had been looking back and forth between her cell phone and Shinyul, asked in a flustered voice, Shinyul immediately started asking Amhwa a favor in a very excited voice.
“Excuse me, please! Can I take just one photo of the wind? It’s too bad to just send it away like this. Please!”
Immediately after that, Amhwa heard Shin Yul’s earnest request… .
-Glance-
-Crunch crunch-
“… … .”
He glanced down at the cute face of Kim Baram, who was sleeping soundly, and then opened his mouth in a very small voice, like a merchant conducting a secret transaction.
“… Please send me the pictures I took. Then I will turn a blind eye.”
“Call, of course.”
After the implicit transaction, which neither party was aware of, was successfully completed.
“Hmm….”
-Click-
“Hehe, you looked good just now, model.”
“You must send me a photo.”
“Oh, really~”
Unfortunately.
Kim Baram, who was currently sleeping soundly, did not notice at all for a very long time.
The picture of him that was just taken is not only on Shin Yul and Amhwa’s cell phone.
The fact that it was also saved intact on other people’s phones.
