Part 2 Episode 19
There was silence at the saint’s remarks.
‘You’re finally showing your true colors.’
Taehyun lowered his head and frowned slightly.
Externally, the saint is known for her beautiful appearance and kind personality.
But the reality is.
‘A psychopath who treats people’s lives with contempt.’
Yoo Ah-young and Kwak Si-yang, the heads of the large guild, probably don’t know that fact.
“haha. “He’s also very mischievous.”
Kwak Si-yang smiled and came next to Yoo Ah-young.
The intention is to hide Taehyeon from the saintess’ gaze.
That sight stimulated Psycho’s curiosity even more.
“I am sincere. “It’s going to be a long journey, but shouldn’t it be this much fun?”
Grinning.
He’s smiling kindly, but it’s just creepy.
‘I can’t hit that… I’m scolded.’
Yoo Ah-young and Kwak Si-yang may have the greatest military power, but they are not capable of fighting against the nation’s might.
Needless to say, Taehyun is at B-grade level.
In the end, for now, all I could do was curl up and hope that the two would work it out.
“Miss Tsurara.”
Yoo Ah-young called the saint’s name in a soft voice.
“yes.”
The saintess nodded with her characteristic pretentious smile.
“I don’t bet with my teammates.”
It’s a kind but serious answer.
“Oh, is that so?”
“yes. This child is my porter. “It’s mine and mine alone.”
“….”
Taehyun remained silent at Yoo Ah-young’s confident declaration.
This is because it is judged that foxes are safer than psychopaths.
“….”
Only the ghost sword watched the current situation with indifferent eyes.
“Uhm… this is difficult.”
The saintess, who was looking at Tae-hyeon and Yoo Ah-young alternately, touched her chin again.
“I have to have what I want.”
By any means necessary.
“…!!”
“….”
As she added softly, the atmosphere became cold.
“But yeah. “Now that we are carrying out joint missions between countries, we must put aside our personal wishes for a moment.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“however. “It’s about building a Tokyo branch, which guild leader Yoo Ah-young suggested to this association some time ago.”
“….”
“Oh, don’t worry. I know it was a secret approach. However, I am also a national power level in name and appearance… Why bother telling the president of the association?”
“…okay. “I should show this to Miss Tsurara, right?”
Yoo Ah-young said with a commercial smile.
Although he was the player Yoo Ah-young just a moment ago, his position has now changed to the head of the Night Walkers.
The guild’s business involves the livelihood of many people.
Taehyun sensed that the situation was going in the saint’s favor.
“There is no need for that. “It would be good for me if an intelligence guild like Night Walker signed an agreement with Japan.”
“thank god. “Please speak kindly to the president of the association.”
Yoo Ah-young bowed her head politely.
“still. “For some reason, I feel like acting on a whim today.”
“….”
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young. Would you like to bet with me?”
It’s a threat, not a question.
If he refuses again this time, Night Walker’s business will go down the drain.
Maybe next time I’ll risk my relationship with the Magicians or the association.
‘If it’s that woman, it’s possible. The president of the association must be having a hard time in many ways.’
Above is China and below is Japan.
It will not be easy to maintain neutrality against those who are trying to create a new Korea.
Additionally, there is the variable of another dimension in Middle-earth.
Ji Jin-hee in this world has more to consider than the place where Tae-hyeon lived.
‘I understand the desperate need for national power supply.’
The thought didn’t last long.
This is because Yoo Ah-young answered in a cheerful voice.
“great. “I accept the bet.”
“Oh really?”

“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young…”
Yoo Ah-young continued, paying no heed to Kwak Si-yang’s worried reaction.
“instead. “I can decide the method of betting, right?”
“Sure. I have to have a certain handicap to have fun. Of course, if we’re going to bet, it would be better if it fits our schedule.”
It meant that they would not respond if they proposed an absurd method.
Yoo Ah-young also nodded as if he understood.
“Labyrinth Harun. “Let’s see who gets there first.”
“That would be fun!!”
At this level, even if a problem arises in the future, it will be difficult to say anything.
Yoo Ah-young had a wise insight.
‘The product would be perfect if it weren’t for me.’
Even as Taehyun was thinking this, the negotiations between the two women were progressing quickly.
“Then shall we make a pact and get started?”
“great!!”
The saint’s voice is too reminiscent.
As S-class magical power bloomed, the two women formed the Awakened Pact.
The gist of the contest was that any action that would hurt a party member was prohibited and that the winner would have ownership of the porter Kim Tae-hyun for 24 hours.
Taehyun calmly watched the process unfold without asking his will.
Anyway, if you express your opinion now, you are only making the situation more complicated.
In that case, it would be better to help Yoo Ah-young and get some bean paste.
How did he, who was called the ‘predator of the three thousand worlds’, end up in this situation?
‘Twelve zodiac signs. I will repay this debt in full.’
Taehyun gritted his teeth at the high-ranking constellation so that only he could see it.
“Taehyun. “Are you okay?”
While the two women were discussing details, Kwak Si-yang approached and asked softly.
“I can’t help it. “If I had refused unconditionally, my mission would have been disrupted.”
“Um… I’m sorry. “I just put you in an awkward position for no reason.”
“Well, since it’s come to this, I also have to negotiate with guild leader Yoo Ah-young.”
Taehyun said as he watched Yoo Ah-young return to them.
The saint and the demon sword left first, as if they had decided to immediately execute the bet.
“Oh my baby. “Your expression isn’t as bad as I thought, is it?”
“Aren’t you going too far without my consent?”
“Hehe. This is all to protect you. Even if a saint looks like that…”
“Psycho?”
“uh. “What did you know?”
Yoo Ah-young saw Kwak Si-yang.
“I never told you.”
“They say they want to make bets with people, but that’s not normal. “It’s common sense.”
Yoo Ah-young burst out laughing at Tae-hyeon’s words.
“I heard that the president of the association has extraordinary insight. “Is it really true?”
He praises Taehyun and tries to naturally change the topic.
‘Huh, where is this woman?’
“Do we have any chance of winning?”
“of course. “I’m Yoo Ah-young.”
“Yes. “I guess so.”
In response to his indifferent response, she tapped Taehyun on the shoulder.
“Let’s start by arriving at the labyrinth. “I’ll tell you as I go.”
‘Do you really have any faith in it?’
The labyrinth is a place that is difficult to enter unless you have detection skills, regardless of your personal power.
Of course, he brought along a useful map, but Yoo Ah-young’s attitude was overly confident.
‘If I bring it up now, it won’t work.’
Taehyun decided to watch the situation a little longer.
It was less than three hours later that we arrived at the entrance to the labyrinth.
The distance of 10 hours on foot was drastically reduced.
Because it was at the beginning, several players staying near the entrance recognized them.
“It’s been less than an hour since the saint and the demon sword entered.”
That’s what Kwak Si-yang said after asking the players.
“Well, this game starts right after you enter the labyrinth.”
The level of monsters that appear in Labyrinth Harun is C grade, but it is given a B grade due to its ability to continuously move and transform.
Even with the help of someone with detection skills, it takes three full days to reach the end.
Three people stepped into an entrance that was ten times higher than me.
The concentration of magical power mixed in the air became even thicker.
“Just trust me. “Because I won’t do anything harmful to our guild members.”
“I’m not a guild member?”
“You’re a future guild member, right? If you plan on becoming a player anyway, it will be connected to Night Walker.”
Ahahahaha.
Yoo Ah-young smiled brightly and patted Taehyeon on the back.
It’s not wrong.
In the past, Taehyun would have taken a long time to become number one in the world without Yoo Ah-young’s help.
The information must have had a significant impact on her becoming number one in the world, following Taehyun.
‘As expected, it would be better not to say anything yet.’
As Taehyun looked at Yoo Ah-young’s confident appearance, he sensed that it was not the time to negotiate.
‘I’m curious what guild leader Yoo Ah-young has. It would be difficult to be sure about the modified labyrinth with a map with detection skills imprinted on it.’
Even if the bet ends in the saint’s victory, Tae-hyeon will be able to refuse the saint’s request, making various excuses.
However, if that happens, Yoo Ah-young will receive a permanent penalty.
at that time.
After confirming that there was no one around, Yoo Ah-young took out a map from his backpack.
Taehyeon and Kwak Si-yang watched the scene with dumbfounded expressions.
“It’s not an ordinary map.”
She spread the map on the floor and infused it with magic.
OK.
Tsuzuzu-.
A topographical map of the labyrinth was drawn and the locations of the humans entering came to mind.
next.
Susss-.
An arrow made of magical power was drawn on the ground.
“This… is a magic tool with skills imprinted on it!!”
Yoo Ah-young let out a low laugh as if she liked Kwak Si-yang’s reaction.
“This is a joint product between Alchemist and Night Walker. Not only is it imprinted with A-grade detection skills, but it can also detect the movements of those in the labyrinth.”
“Indeed… there was a part of me that believed it. “At this rate, it will only be a matter of time before I win the bet.”
Kwak Si-yang shook his head in admiration for Alchemist’s technical skills.
“Let’s see… what are the positions of our proud party members… huh…?”
The approach of a huge magical force can be felt.
Yoo Ah-young, Kwak Si-yang, and Tae-hyun radiated magical power.
Suddenly.
It was at the same time that the map on the floor split in half.
The moment the three people protected themselves with magical power, sword energy swept across the ground.
Ahahahaha.
Laughter was heard not far away.
What appeared was a saint who imitated Yoo Ah-young’s laugh.
“The strategy is too obvious, Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young. Isn’t that right?”
The saintess looked at Shinji Nakata as if seeking an answer.
“….”
Crash.
He put back the sword he had drawn.
It was clear that the sword that had split the map a moment ago was his.
“Okay then. “See you later.”
Frown.
I winked at Taehyun.
A saint and a demon sword passed in front of them.
* * *
“That bitch….”
Yoo Ah-young trembled.
Judging by the energy oozing out, it looks like he wants to have a fight with the saint at any moment.
“What do you plan to do now?”
Taehyun asked indifferently.
Although I brought a separate map to act as a porter, it is difficult to win the bet with just that.
“It looks like they are confident in their map… “I haven’t prepared anything in particular.”
Kwak Si-yang shrugged his shoulders as if feeling sorry.
In Japan, there is a technical guild called ‘Denso’ that is no less powerful than Alchemist.
It may not be as good as Yoo Ah-young’s, but their guidance will not be ordinary either.
‘The table is set.’
Taehyun made a serious expression as the corners of his mouth twitched.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young. Even if I lose this bet, I have no intention of becoming the saint’s porter.”
“sorry. I had no idea these were waiting for us. But it’s still a long shot…”
“We can’t win against them with regular methods. I’m sure Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young knows it well.”
“….”
“Then you will have to bear the penalty for not keeping your pledge.”
“Tae, Tae-hyun… I can tell you about that later…”
Kwak Si-yang trailed off as if he was embarrassed.
“I have a way.”
“….”
“…?”
Yoo Ah-young’s shaking eyes.
Kwak Si-yang’s eyes widened.
Taehyun met his familiar gaze and continued speaking.
“There is one condition.”
“condition…? “What…”
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young. Please let me take care of you for a day.”
“…!!”
“…!!”
If you get hit, you get it back.
Taehyun’s creed did not change in the second regression.
Taehyun clicked while admiring the puzzled faces of the two players.
“call?”
