45. Confession
Minjoo-ri, who was heading to the meeting place, could not hold back her heart pounding.
‘W-what are you talking about?’
My crush suddenly calls me saying he has something to say.
‘Seo, really?’
Min Joo-ri, whose cheeks were red as if she was imagining something, fanned her hands enthusiastically.
Then I see a sports car parked in front of a convenience store.
‘who is this? What kind of senseless person would park a car in such a narrow place… … .’
“Juri!”
“Ryumin?”
The person who lacked common sense was none other than Ryu Min.
Min-ri Min was taken aback when she saw Ryu-min sticking his head out of the car window.
“Is this your car?”
“Yes. Sorry for leaving you parked in a narrow space. I was originally planning to park somewhere else, but I had no choice but to drag it.”
“…….”
“Get in. Let’s go for a drive while we talk.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
As Min-ri Min got on, the Lamborghini ran down the road making a loud noise.
Buaaaaaaang-
Despite the loud noises, the interior was relatively quiet and comfortable.
Min-ri Min looked around the interior with curious eyes as she drove a supercar for the first time.
Like the exterior, the interior was also gorgeous.
“How much does a car like this cost?”
“Not much. About 900 million?”
“9, 900 million…?!”
Minjoo-ri’s eyes widened.
“Oh, that’s not much! With 900 million, you can open as many convenience stores as you want!”
“Compared to the money I earned from the lottery, it’s not much.”
“ah.”
Minjoo-ri realized it late.
The friend next to me is an instant rich person with 70 billion won.
I didn’t know that Bitcoin was worth up to 300 billion won.
‘A car several times more expensive than my house… … .’
Did you feel like the world you live in was different?
Min Joo-ri closed her mouth as if she had zipped it up.
“…….”
“…….”
There was an awkward silence.
Maybe it’s because it’s quiet, but I can hear my heart pounding.
‘This feels like an easy date, doesn’t it?’
At that thought, my face turned red again.
Also, I don’t know if it’s my mood, but I feel like Ryumin keeps staring at me.
Min Joo-ri, who was embarrassed, just stared out the window without even thinking about looking at him.
Maybe that’s why.
“I have something to confess….”
“Huh!? Go, confess!?”
My head turned when I heard Ryu Min’s confession.
Since he was wearing a suit, it was inevitable that he would misunderstand.
“Ah… it’s not a strange confession, so don’t misunderstand.”
“Oh, who misunderstood?”
Instead of fanning his hand, he turned his head out the window.
‘Ah, I want to hide in a mouse hole.’
I don’t know, but my face must have turned bright red.
“So, what kind of confession is this?”
“You said I told you the lottery numbers in a dream before, right?”
“yes.”
“Not really.”
“huh?”
“It wasn’t a dream, it was information obtained through future poetry runes.”
Ryu Min quietly confessed to Min Joo-ri that he was a prophet.
Of course, there were a lot of things that were made up, but it was hard to say that they were completely false.
Because it was true that we knew the future.
“A rune of future poetry….”
“The job I have this time is also a prophet.”
“prophet……?”
Min-ri Min blinked her rabbit-like eyes.
Then he claps his hands with an expression of admiration.
“Awesome! A prophet! Isn’t that a completely unique job?”

“Huh? Well, right?”
“That’s really good! The future vision runes look really good too!”
When Min-ri Min was happy about it as if it were her own, Ryu-min was rather embarrassed.
It’s an unexpected reaction.
“Thank you for being honest! Even if you were a friend, it would have been difficult to open up about something like that.”
“Well, you said you were a buffer too. This should be fair to both sides.”
“To be fair, I didn’t tell you about the runes. Now that this has happened, should I tell you about my runes?”
“No, it’s okay….”
“The one I drew in the first round was [Rune of Protection]. A thin shield is applied to me as many people are within a 10m radius. If there are ten people, ten shields are applied, and so on.”
Min Joo-ri said excitedly, not knowing that Ryu Min already knew.
“Now it’s you, right? I’m telling someone about rune information, so I feel relieved, like I’ve revealed a secret, right?”
“Haha, really?”
“But why did you tell me such important information? It would be better to hide it if possible.”
“It bothered me to keep hiding it… I thought that if I didn’t reveal it like this, they wouldn’t believe what I was going to say from now on.”
“Huh? What are you saying?”
Ryu Min told Min Ri Min information about the 4th round.
Much more detailed than what I said to Ma Kyung-rok.
Of course, information about compensation was hidden as much as possible.
“4th, 4th round quest is like that?”
“Yes. So, Juri, take care of yourself too. You don’t know what the players around you will do, so always be on guard.”
“Uh, okay.”
Minjoo-ri, who was nodding, suddenly smiled faintly.
‘Still, thank you for saying this because you were thinking of me… … .’
At the same time, I felt ashamed.
‘I guess you only told me because you were worried as a friend?’
I thought he was saying this out of personal feelings.
‘If that were the case… … Envy you.’
Min-ri Min smiled brightly as she looked at Ryu-min in the driver’s seat.
It was a smile filled with gratitude.
* * *
After finishing the drive, Ryu Min dropped Min Joo Ri off in front of the convenience store and returned home.
“Is your brother here?”
“ok.”
“Why are you looking like that? What’s going on?”
“What does my expression look like?”
“You look worried for some reason?”
“There is nothing like that.”
Ryumin, who spoke indifferently, went into the room and changed his clothes.
Although he said he didn’t have any words, he had concerns.
That’s also an embarrassing problem.
‘Minjoo-ri was in love with me…’ … .’
I learned the truth through the rune of my inner heart.
‘I never knew Min Joo-ri would be interested in me since my school days.’
For some reason, he thought he was being nice to him, but then there was this inside story… … .
Although he felt embarrassed and embarrassed, Ryumin shook his head and shook it off.
‘Nothing changes just because Min Joo-ri likes me. In fact, it might be a better thing.’
If you like yourself, wouldn’t it be nice to attract you as an ally?
‘No, are we already allies?’
Ryumin was relieved of his worries for an hour.
Because it was my first time confessing to Min Joo-ri that I was a prophet, I couldn’t predict what the outcome would be.
‘But it seems like things turned out better than I thought.’
If the other person is friendly to you, it will be easy to believe the prophecy.
If done well, it doesn’t seem difficult to save Min-ri Min until the 20th round.
‘Now just wait three more days and buy the epic item.’
There isn’t really anything to do in the real world this month.
‘I hope April comes quickly.’
Ryumin lay down on the bed.
The next round is going to be bloody, so you need to rest now.
Ryumin suddenly fell asleep after a long-awaited break.
* * *
30 minutes remaining until midnight on April 1st.
An important day to enter the other world.
Ryumin was waiting in his safest room, checking items.
[Shadow Gloves of Darkness]
-Category: Gloves
-Rate: Epic
-Effect: Strength +5, Dexterity +4, weapon semi-invisibility (applies only at night)
-Durability: 1,000/1,000
-Restrictions on use: Regular grade or higher
-Description: Gloves that are hidden in darkness and invisible at night. The weapon you are holding becomes translucent.
This is an epic item purchased for 8,000 gold from the item of the day corner.
‘The stats are high and the option to make the weapon semi-invisible is also useful.’
Weapon semi-invisibility.
The weapon literally turns translucent at night.
‘It’s not completely invisible because it’s translucent… … .’
That alone is enough to confuse the opponent.
Because of the dark environment, it may be harder to recognize than expected.
‘At first glance, it doesn’t look like he’s holding a weapon.’
It’s a pretty good option.
Moreover, it is good to use in conjunction with the Night of Death skill.
Since no light enters, there is little chance of the translucent painting being destroyed.
smart-
At that time, the door opened with a knock and my younger brother came in.
“Bro, it’s time.”
A look of concern was evident on the younger brother’s face.
“Are you confident that you can attack this time too?”
“You have to try it to know.”
“Brother, you are a prophet. I heard you know something about the 4th round.”
“Acting like that is different.”
Ryu Min also revealed to his younger brother that his profession was a prophet.
He asked me to go somewhere and not say anything at all.
‘Jang Seok-hyeon is dead and I have the inner rune, so my younger brother will no longer be in danger like before.’
In previous episodes, he only said he was a prophet and hid the fact that he was a returner.
‘I didn’t reveal that I was a regressor, so my future won’t go awry.’
Tick tock-
I looked at the wall clock and it was time.
Soon we will enter the other world.
“You must come back alive, bro.”
“Don’t say something like that. That’s a death flag.”
Ryumin patted his younger brother’s shoulder as if to tell him not to worry.
‘Even though round 4 is the round of death… … .’
Because there is no easier round than this.
* * *
‘It’s started again.’
Hwang Yong-min, who had been called to another world without fail, opened the status window.
[Penalty is in effect.]
[All stats are permanently reduced by 50%.]
I opened it to see if it would happen, but it still happened.
The curse was not lifted.
‘Damn it.’
This is the result of betraying Cho Joong-sik, who was his role model.
It wasn’t just stats that were lost.
I lost not only the right to lead the 10th meeting, but also my friends.
This was the reason why Hwang Yong-min was on alert like a meerkat.
‘Those bastards who are blind to district representation might target me.’
The authority of command has been exhausted and there is no means of defense.
Friends who think they have been betrayed may attack you in revenge.
‘But where is this?’
A pure white space with no visible horizon.
Hwang Yong-min frowned at the environment, which was different from before, where he could see green meadows and forests.
‘What kind of quest is it this time, starting in a place like this?’
There was white everywhere, I felt like a rat in a lab.
Hwang Yong-min, who was once again wary of his surroundings with a nervous expression, suddenly saw Lee Chae in his eyes.
‘Black scythe!’
He sees the savior who protected him in the last round.
At the same time, he is also a devil.
Because the order to destroy the relic led to this situation.
‘You devilish bastard. ‘You obviously knew this would happen!’
Considering that he used others to destroy relics and even killed agents of heavenly punishment without hesitation, I think he knew about it in advance.
I don’t know how you knew.
‘If I had the strength, I would turn that bastard’s face into a mess right now… … .’
Can not help it.
The only way to save your life right now is to grab the hand of the devil.
‘I don’t know if you’ll still hold my hand… … .’
Shouldn’t you give it a try?
With that in mind, Hwang Yong-min approached the black scythe.
“Oh, Black Scythe.”
“What’s going on?”
“The contract from last round is still valid, right?”
“contract?”
“Didn’t you decide to protect me instead of becoming my subordinate?”
At that moment, a sneer formed on the corner of Black Scythe’s mouth.
“I don’t need subordinates like you anymore.”
“yes?”
“You don’t even have leadership anymore, right? What’s the point of being a district representative without leadership?”
“…….”
The situation I was worried about happened.
Hwang Yong-min’s complexion became pale.
“Plus, most of the players have already completed their job change. Even if they have leadership, it’s useless.”
“Well, like that….”
“Your usefulness is over.”
Black Scythe spoke in a cold voice.
“You’re just a walking target.”
