ReLife Player Chapter 579

Relife Player 579

[Chapter 156]

[The other side of the story (3)]

The clan’s basic job is to resolve mana issues within its jurisdiction.

Mana events broadly refer to all situations that occur due to mana, including the occurrence of omnipresence or the appearance of monsters.

“I climbed up the wall!”

“Eunha, run to the left as soon as you exit the alley! Yeonhwa, you take the right!”

Students who went to the clan for training usually handled minor administrative tasks or performed basic tasks.

Eunha was no exception.

Eun-ha formed a party with Eun-ah Noh, Yeon-hwa Ryu, and Regulus Clan navigator, who played the role of mentor, and patrolled the city to resolve the mana crisis.

It was the same today too.

Squeak! Kikluk! Squeak!

Ubiquitous presence usually occurred in places where there were a lot of people.

However, it was created quietly in an inconspicuous place.

Therefore, Eunha and her party members, who were patrolling an area with many alleys after lunch, happened to spot a monster.

“You two stay there! I’ll drop you!”

A 7th level monster of the primate order.

The monster, which reminded them of a monkey with its fur removed and its skin exposed, ran away as soon as it was discovered by them.

The guy was quick.

The creature, which was as big as the legs of an adult man, jumped from wall to wall and climbed to the roof of the building.

Euna, who heard information about the monster from the navigator, quickly gave instructions to the party members.

Eunha and Yeonhwa ran into a gap that could only fit one person.

Cheonbo

Even while running, Eunha’s gaze continued to look upward.

I stepped on the pile of trash blocking the road and got out of the gap.

It was on the main street.

Eunha remembered Eunah’s instructions and immediately ran to the left.

Meanwhile, Ryu Yeon-hwa, who had slipped through the gap, ran in the opposite direction.

The two formed a confrontational formation facing each other.

“─Watch your head just in case!”

Euna, who was still inside the alley, shouted with all her mana.

As she hit the floor with the stone.

The hook on the stone cabinet jingled, and for a moment a strong wind blew.

Wow!! Squeak!

The wind passed through the roofs of the buildings and hit the monsters that were trying to escape from them.

A sudden strong wind knocked him from the rooftop onto the street.

And at that moment, Eunha and Ryu Yeon-hwa, who were waiting below, saw the person falling as if screaming.

Hanmae-ryu

icy road

The person who moved first was Ryu Yeon-hwa.

She was in a ready position, and the ice that formed under her feet propelled her into the sky.

Chiring

Long hair fluttering.

Ryu Yeon-hwa, who bent her waist as much as possible, swung her spear at the right moment for the guy to fall.

With just one swing.

Ice spreads along the path of the spear.

The guy who fell like a somersault was pierced by an ice-covered spear.

Squeak… .

A spear pierced through the chest.

At that moment, his body froze.

Ultimately, it split into ice fragments like a broken mirror and disappeared.

“—It’s <Seolchang>!”

“Ryu Yeon-hwa!”

The ice created along the spear’s path also turns into snow crystals and scatters.

Snow crystals sparkle as they catch the light.

She landed lightly on the ground with her long hair fluttering in a halo of light, attracting the attention of many people.

Snow crystals, spears, blue hair.

<Seolchang> Ryu Yeon-hwa.

Ryu Yeon-hwa’s appearance was well known to people.

They stopped on their way and praised her.

“…thank you.”

“”””I love you, Yeonhwa!!””””

“Photo! Who took the photo!?”

Unlike people’s strong reactions.

After picking up the magic stone that had fallen on the floor, she calmly lowered her head and turned around.

Nevertheless, people liked her reaction.

Either way, she approached Eunha.

“…….” “…what’s the matter?”

Eunha had a sullen face.

Ryu Yeon-hwa, who got closer and read his expression, tilted her head.

Eunha responded to this.

“No, I didn’t do anything.” “…Eunha, for once, you blocked the monster’s path to prevent it from escaping.”

“And while I was quiet, my sister defeated the monster.”

“…I’m sorry. Are you angry?”

I thought I might have encountered a monster for the first time today, but it ended too easily.

Eunha, who was trying to relax after eating a full lunch, could not hide her disappointment.

So, as a joke, I showed her a sullen face.

Ryu Yeon-hwa was surprisingly restless and was watching Eunha.

“Next time, I’ll give in. So… can’t you let go of your anger?”

“…….”

“Bappa.”

Eunha blinked her eyes.

I had no idea that Ryu Yeon-hwa would put on a serious face and ask for forgiveness.

He couldn’t help it that Buldak landed on his shoulder and hit him.

In the end, Eunha had no choice but to quickly clear her face and speak.

“Really… I can’t even tell a joke in front of my sister? I was just kidding. Who cares who kills the monster? Just don’t harm people.”

“…Aren’t you angry?” “Does your sister want to see me angry?”

“No. I don’t want to see you.”

Doridori.

Ryu Yeon-hwa, who was not much different in height from Eunha, shook her head.

Long hair swayed from side to side.

He chuckled as she shook her head enthusiastically.

It seemed a little childish.

“Why would I be angry at my sister? I was just joking. I’m sorry. I won’t prank you anymore.”

“…No. I also like playing pranks.”

“huh?”

“I like it when someone plays pranks on me. So…, you can continue.”

“her….”

The more you look at him, the more eccentric he becomes.

There is a strange side to it.

Sometimes you can’t guess people.

Unlike her previous life, Eun-ha, who became close to Ryu Yeon-hwa, stuck out her tongue.

“Okay, I will…”

“Yes. Do it a lot.”

This may be Ryu Yeon-hwa’s own expression of intimacy.

Eunha, who got over her embarrassed feelings, decided to think about it that way.

Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.

“—I saw a lot of tteokbokki stalls around here when I came here earlier… Would you like to eat fish cake?”

“Fish cake? Didn’t you just eat lunch?”

“It looked delicious when I saw it earlier….”

“Yeah, let’s go eat right now.”

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“…I’ll try my best to eat it.”

I’m not saying I can’t eat it.

Eunha smiled bitterly when she saw Ryu Yeon-hwa, who had made a solemn resolution.

☆

In fact, third-year students at the High School Academy do not engage in excessive activities while practicing in the clan.

In the case of promising players like Noh Eun-ha, they are assigned tasks that involve combat in order to directly check their skills.

Transfer students who had just entered school and were not familiar with combat were not assigned much work.

“—I found it. Our galaxy is here. But this guy has abandoned his work and is eating tteokbokki right now? He’s really enjoying it.”

<Madame> Bebe.

It was the same with her.

Luckily, the Regulus Clan members did not pay much attention to her who came to their clan to train.

As a result, as soon as she finished her administrative duties, she secretly left the clan hall.

Then, he went out to monitor Eunha, who was working nearby.

“Is clan practice a kid’s joke? I’m having fun with my sisters. Oh, look at them enjoying the sundae. They’re not doing the work they’re told to do….”

Noh Eun-ha was eating snacks at a food stall with Noh Eun-ah and Ryu Yeon-hwa.

Bebe hid on the rooftop of a nearby building and spied on them.

Without the need for a telescope, she was able to spy on the students as if they were up close, using magic unknown to them.

Then, my mouth started watering when I saw them eating the snack deliciously.

Some people couldn’t even eat lunch… .

Licking your lips with your tongue.

She quenched her appetite.

Meanwhile, she concentrated and tried to read their lips.

Reading thoroughly was not that difficult for her.

If you eat it like that, it will be soggy… .

Sister Yeonhwa, try drinking the soup.

Ryu Yeon-hwa munches on a lot of food in her mouth.

Eunha personally served fish cake soup to her.

… thank you.

Ryu Yeon-hwa turns her neck.

He smiles as he receives a paper cup from Eunha.

“…<Seolchang> is also funny.”

Then Bebe muttered in a curious tone.

It was well known in the industry that Ryu Yeon-hwa’s personality in <Seolchang> was as cold and blunt as ice.

However, Ryu Yeon-hwa, who was talking to Noh Eun-ha and Noh Eun-ah, only looked like a person of the same age.

Pi and Ji, you’re saying you’ll just take care of Yeonhwa and leave them out, right? I raised her little brother wrong, I raised her wrong.

By the way, they are having a lot of fun.

Noh Eun-ah pretends to be angry.

Noh Eun-ha is hurriedly serving fish cake soup for her.

Bebe clicked his tongue.

“Don’t just eat, but show me some work. I can’t follow you around forever….”

It is said that it is not receiving any attention within the Regulus Clan.

However, it was impossible to stay away for a long time and remain like this.

She muttered curses about Noh Eun-ha, who was excited to eat it.

Then—.

“─Why are you monitoring the galaxy?”

“…….”

It was a blink of an eye.

Something that looked like a blade touched the back of my head.

No, the blade was right.

The problem was that he couldn’t pay attention to his surroundings because he was keeping an eye on Noh Eun-ha.

Even so─.

—You don’t even notice me, so much so that I point my sword right at you from behind.

The enemy’s ability to hide is excellent.

Bebe looked away from Noh Eunha and slowly raised both hands.

It was an expression of intention to surrender.

Then he slowly turned around.

“—Oh my, Senior Changjin. Why did you come to a place like this?”

Pretend as much as possible as if nothing happened.

Bebe smiled brightly as she looked at the sword in front of her.

The person holding the sword in his hand is─.

“—You’d better not try to act like you don’t know.” “…….”

“Because I know you are <Madam>.” “…Oh my, I got caught. I thought you and I weren’t acquaintances.”

<Shadow> Han Chang-jin.

He was standing with a cold expression covering his mouth with a muffler.

☆

At first, I just thought I had seen it somewhere.

Until then, Han Chang-jin didn’t pay much attention to Bebe.

Then, over the past few days, it appears that she is monitoring the galaxy.

Han Chang-jin had been raising his guard against her since that day.

Then I realized something.

It is─.

─This is not a step you learn at the Player Academy. That’s a step that could be used as a lifesaver.

Bebe is a 3rd year transfer student at the High School Academy.

Her actions exuded the unique aura of someone who has dipped her feet into darkness.

She showed a disheveled appearance, trying not to show off as much as possible.

─What is it?

Wait, I’ve seen this before… .

<Shadow> Han Chang-jin.

You couldn’t fool his eyes.

Before long, Han Chang-jin was convinced that she was a person living in a world of darkness.

I also remembered it.

In the past, I remember following Baek Seo-jin, the <King of Darkness>, into the world of darkness.

─Of course. It’s <Madame>.

At the time, it was just a glimpse from a distance.

Nevertheless, Changjin could vaguely recall the face of <Madame>.

She looked exactly like Bebe.

No, it was Bebe herself.

“—Indeed, <Shadow>. Should I praise you like this, junior?”

“Just answer the question. Why were you monitoring the galaxy?”

“Well… do I have the duty to answer my junior’s question?”

“…….”

She had no name.

To her, a name was nothing more than an alias that existed to carry out a given mission.

It’s not just the name.

Aside from her gender, there was no clue about her age, origin, or personality that could identify her.

However, people only called her “Madame” as she secretly carried out espionage activities in the dark.

Why is <Madame> here?

For some reason, such a person was suddenly transferred to the academy using the pseudonym Bebe.

And it is monitoring the galaxy.

Han Chang-jin was unable to resolve his doubts as he aimed his sword at her.

“I guess you don’t understand the current situation? If you talk like that, you’ll kill me….”

“Try it. Try killing it.”

“…….”

“I don’t know if I will die gracefully. If you don’t kill me in one go, people will witness you and me fighting. What excuse will you make for attacking me first then?”

“…….”

“Oh, that might be a way too. Should I claim that I was raped by you? I don’t have a public image, but you don’t, right? I’d be really curious what would happen if that happens.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“It is you who is threatening, not me. You, who are favored by the <King of Darkness>, do not even know how to turn your head like this. So what should I do?”

Hesitation about killing people.

<Madame> seemed to have seen through it.

Although he had learned how to survive by living alone, he gritted his teeth inwardly as he had never actually immersed himself in the darkness.

Then, as if she sensed a slight change in him─.

“—No, would you like to say that you are now favored?”

she sneered.

Even when he saw the knife in front of him, he openly laughed.

“The <King of Darkness> put so much effort into training you. How can you be here like this without even knowing the grace that raised you?”

“shut up.”

“Rumors have spread throughout our world. You’re infatuated with women and doing things that aren’t right for you… That’s right, now it’s like this. You can’t kill me, but you’re making threats that don’t even affect me.”

<Madame> was not afraid.

She put away the knife in front of her with a very natural movement.

Then he walked closer to Changjin and whispered in his ear.

“—This is why the <King of Darkness> said he would not hand over his position to you.”

“……!”

“Just pretend not to know me. Unless you want to disappoint your teacher any further.”

“No way, Master….”

“Well, maybe so, maybe not.”

“…….”

Is it a bluff or not?

Han Chang-jin looked at her for a long time as she responded with a smile.

Soon, as if she was being generous, she passed him by and spoke.

“Among the high-ranking people, how many do you think are not interested in Noh Eun-ha?”

“You mean they asked you to monitor the galaxy?”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“Why on earth….”

<Madame> didn’t say it directly.

She actually answered Han Chang-jin’s questions.

Han Chang-jin couldn’t believe it.

The situation is such that there are people who want to monitor Noh Eun-ha to the extent that the darkness moves <Madame>.

Noh Eun-ha, who is not even a player yet and is just a student at the academy.

Accordingly, <Madame>─.

“—A nail that sticks out is bound to get stuck, but was that child special? It’s strange that they’re ordering surveillance now.”

<Madame> answered in a kind tone.

Han Chang-jin frowned.

“So just pretend you don’t know me. Unless you want me to give you a bad report and see your friend get into trouble with scary people.”

“…….”

“I like that kid too. That kid smells of power. But I don’t want to get into trouble with that kid if my true identity is revealed. Because I love power.” “The people who gave you the request… what kind of people are they?” “Oh my, are you going to be polite now?”

“…….”

“Well… people who have the mentality that if they can’t have it themselves, they would rather prevent others from having it?”

“…….” “Or people who are worried that their position will be shaken?”

“What are they….”

“But aren’t you taking my story too literally? What if I lied?” “……!”

A teasing tone.

<Madame> passed by Han Chang-jin and headed toward the door leading down to the rooftop.

She opened the door and looked back.

“If you have received the teachings of the <King of Darkness>, shouldn’t you have learned to doubt people’s words instead of just blindly believing them? It seems you have been in vain.”

“…….”

“How did such a promising kid end up in this situation?”

Han Chang-jin clenched his fists.

She just clicked her tongue.

“Then, sister, I’ll leave. Let’s not pretend to know each other from now on.”

Although it was not publicly known.

After graduating from the academy, Han Chang-jin is no longer <The Seed> of <The King of Darkness>.

He lowered his head in exasperation and thought over and over again.

At that moment, <Madame> waved her hand, opened the door, and went out.

Then she locked the door.

“ah….”

Han Chang-jin made a dumbfounded expression upon hearing the sound of the door being locked.

☆

At the same time, at the entrance of the alley.

<Throws away> Twenty-five closed his eyes and was concentrating on the sound ringing in his head.

[─This is why the <King of Darkness> said he would not hand over his position to you.]

Because he had received word from his master, Eunha, in advance.

I knew that Eunha would go all the way to a food stall far away from the area where she defeated the monster.

So if you know that─.

─It’s a piece of cake to find a place to monitor the master from there.

<Throws away> Twenty-five.

This was the reason why he was able to eavesdrop on the conversation between <Madame> Bebe and <Shadow> Han Chang-jin even though he was one station away.

All they had to do was install eavesdropping magic in an appropriate location to monitor the galaxy and wait for one of them to activate.

Since my master repeatedly emphasized that I should not try to watch him easily, I had no choice but to avoid watching him closely… .

As the master said, the correct answer was to just avoid it. I never thought <Shadow> was there.

There are two voices ringing in my head.

One was a person named <Madame>, and the other was <Shadow>.

Don’t let the other person know your existence

He, who had put a lot of effort into designing the eavesdropping magic to prevent this, sighed.

Then he moved his lips.

“…I got information that was more unexpected than I expected.”

<Madame> and <Shadow>.

They were completely unaware of the existence of <Tteobori> and were talking about stories that only they knew.

Twenty-five was surprised to learn that Bebe’s identity was <Madame>, a name only known in secret.

By infiltrating the academy, she could be sure that her master was being watched.

Also, I could see that she was nothing more than a role that received orders and moved.

Lastly─.

“—There was a rumor going around secretly that that person, <Shadow>, had a falling out with the <King of Darkness>… I guess that was true.”

Twenty-five was able to confirm that <Shadow> Han Chang-jin was no longer <The King of Darkness> Baek Seo-jin’s <The Seed>.

“I’ll have to let the master know. But <Madame>… Judging by <Shadow>’s attitude, it looks like she’s a person who has more to her than I know… I guess I’ll have to look into it.”

It was unexpected information.

The corners of <Tteobori>’s mouth went up.
