◈ Episode 136. Just don’t do it if you don’t want to! (One)
“Anyway, about these two things, do you know anything?”
Kim Joo-hyuk asked the guide two questions.
One was why other constellations couldn’t be in that space when I called out to myself in the world of images.
The other one was about the constellations that did not appear in the arena that Barche talked about earlier.
and.
The guide, who had been listening to Kim Joo-hyuk’s explanation for a while, shook his head with a stern expression and spoke.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not sure about that.”
“You don’t know?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer, the guide nodded and continued the story.
“I would like to let you know if I could, but unfortunately, I only knew through research that there is an arena where the Constellations can be together, and I do not know the details about the arena.”
Didn’t I say this once before? Looking at the guide who continued talking, Kim Joo-hyuk thought for a moment and then shrugged his shoulders as if there was nothing he could do.
“Then there’s nothing we can do about it. All we can do is find out for ourselves.”
If he had been in a hurry, he would have asked the guide if he had any clues, but the questions Kim Joo-hyuk was currently asking were not particularly urgent, so he decided to take his time.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you with that.”
Guide’s answer.
Kim Joo-hyuk changed the topic after hearing her answer.
“So, why did you ask to see me?”
Hearing Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, the guide smiled brightly and held out a jewel to him.
“This?”
“It’s an item with the same abilities as the one I gave you last time.”
“Oh, if I put magic here, it can come to you right away?”
“that’s right.”
“Disposable?”
“That’s correct. “I don’t know if it has an old name, but from my current perspective, I went through a lot of trouble just making it, so please refrain from complaining.”
At the guide’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk stared at the jewel for a moment and then nodded as if he understood.
“Well, from my perspective, it’s better to have one than nothing. So, is this the only reason you summoned me?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk spoke while showing a glimpse of the jewel, the guide shook his head.
“No, that is just one of many matters, and the reason I called you here this time is about the arena.”
“As for the arena… … .”
“To be exact, it’s about identifying the constellations that are given names in advance in the arena.”
The guide’s words reminded Kim Joo-hyuk of the arena that his disciples and Barce had talked about.
‘It is said that the entrance is a colosseum with a huge door, and after passing through the entrance, there is a huge cavity. Recently, it was said that the constellations were building buildings.’
Kim Joo-hyuk was certainly thinking about what the guide said.
If the arena was not a very large area, it could be confirmed without taking any special measures, but the size of the Great Gongdong that Kim Joo-hyuk heard from his disciples was very large.
If we assume that there will be enough space even if a building is built, it will be clear that it will be difficult to figure out who is manifesting with a name just by being in the same space.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk took interest in the guide’s words and opened his mouth.
“Well, is there any way?”
“Yeah, but actually, there’s no way to call it a method.”
“There’s no way to say it?”
The guide nodded in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question and then spoke with a grin.
“Originally, I had my own way of thinking, but there was no need for that in the first place, and if it goes as I expected, it will probably show up right in front of me.”
“You’ll see it right in front of you?”
Kim Joo-hyuk tilts his head as if he has no idea what is being said.
The guide had a smile on his face and started explaining to Kim Joo-hyuk.
After listening to the guide’s explanation for a while, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to nod his head in satisfaction.

So a week later.
Office on the top floor of the Market Central Building.
“hmm-“
Black Cat, sitting in a zero-gravity chair on one side of the office and holding a cup of coffee, was having a very satisfying daily life recently.
As for how satisfied he is with his daily life, his face, which had not been straight for the past year, has recently been smiling continuously.
That’s why.
‘I never thought things would happen like this… … !’
It’s because there hasn’t been much work for Black Cat lately!
In fact, for the past year, Black Cat has been so busy that they haven’t even had time to have a leisurely tea time.
Before I met Kim Joo-hyuk, I ran in all directions to find him thanks to the orders of the master behind the scenes.
Even after finding Kim Joo-hyuk, he had to continue his busy daily life without any time to rest thanks to various things that happened, so he had no time to rest.
However, these days, he has been leading a very comfortable life despite running both the market and Valhalla.
Right now, Black Cat was acting as the owner of the market, but in fact, unless something big happened in the market, Black Cat didn’t make any moves.
Currently, winter break had just begun at Valhalla Academy, so there was little he had to worry about.
And lastly!
‘I never thought my daily life would become so comfortable just by the Constellation not making me do work… … !’
This was because the master behind the scenes, who usually told him to do various things, had not given him any particular orders after the recent opening of the arena.
And thanks to that, Black Cat currently only had two things to do.
One thing is to make the tool that Kim Joo-hyuk requested.
And the other thing was also requested by Kim Joo-hyuk: arranging a meeting with the guild leader of ‘Karas’, the largest information guild in a neutral city.
It was safe to say that, other than those two things, he was currently not concerned about much.

‘No, now it’s practically one thing.’
Black Cat took Kim Joo-hyuk to the Karasu guild leader a little while ago.
Horok.
‘But why are you trying to meet me in person?’
Black Cat, who was thinking about Kim Joo-hyuk earlier beckoning her to go in first, suddenly had this thought pass through her mind.
If you think about it a little, there is no need for Kim Joo-hyuk to meet the Karasu guild leader.
Right now, Black Cat had a huge amount of money.
If you had that huge amount of money, you could buy information.
Of course, since it was purchased with money, the information would not be passed on to Black Cat right away, but the point was that there was no information that Black Cat could not obtain.
‘Even if I can’t get the information quickly… … .’
Kim Joo-hyuk had the Bentrick family, which now had the power to control not only him but most of Europe.
After the last secret weapon incident, the Bentrick family rowed as if they had wings on their sails and quickly restored their prestige.
In addition, the Ventric family had a small information guild that they were already running.
Of course, Ventrick’s information guild cannot compare to Karas’s information guild, but the point is that there is an information guild that Kim Joo-hyuk can operate without having to visit the Karas guild leader.
‘What else are you trying to use that tool for? … .’
Black Cat, who was thinking about the information guild, soon thought of another tool that Kim Joo-hyuk had ordered, and tilted his head as well.
Of course, I knew that Kim Joo-hyuk said that it was ‘for training’ and that he used that tool for training.
‘With that…’ … ‘Can you practice?’
Black Cat thought carefully for a moment, remembering what Kim Joo-hyuk had asked for with a questioning expression.
How much time has passed?
“I don’t know.”
Black Cat soon decided to completely give up trying to figure out Kim Joo-hyuk’s intentions.
Anyway, even if you worked hard to understand Kim Joo-hyuk, there would be nothing left, and more than anything else.
‘I’m sure you can figure it out.’
Black Cat’s trust in Kim Joo-hyuk was already very high.
First of all, as I heard last time, Kim Joo-hyuk is the person who saved the world 300 years ago, and is also the teacher of his constellation, the ruler behind the scenes.
So Black Cat shrugged.
‘… … ‘You should enjoy it now.’
I decided to enjoy this peaceful daily life, not knowing when it would break.

On an island floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there is a place called Neutral City.
Neutral city.
The place, which is said to have been maintained since the Age of Destruction, is protected by the S-class constellation ‘The One with the Fragment’.
It was a completely neutral city that did not belong to any country or nation, only having the name of neutral city without even having a specific city name.
Thanks to such characteristics, there were many people in neutral cities with a wide variety of occupations, and among them, the most common occupation in neutral cities was mercenary.
Next, the majority was made up of evildoers being pursued by the state.
However, even so, when most contractors who knew about neutral cities said the word ‘neutral city’, the first thing they remembered was ‘intelligence merchant’ instead of mercenary and villain.
This was also because the neutral city was home to Karas, one of the largest intelligence groups in the world.
This was also because there were many other intelligence merchants except Karas.
And Kim Joo-hyuk was meeting the guild leader of the Karas guild in that neutral city with the help of Black Cat.
The guild leader of the Karas Guild, who wears a robe and a crow mask that completely covers his body, as if he doesn’t want his appearance to be seen even if he pretends to be seen.
He looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at him with a calm expression, remained silent, and then opened his mouth.
“therefore… … What you’re saying now is, I’ll give you money, so I ask you to join the Karas Guild exclusively?”
“Well, it’s not exclusive, but if I ask for information, I hope you just put aside other things and find the information I mentioned as quickly as possible.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
‘… … ‘You’re looking at us funny.’
The guild leader of Karas Guild thought about that and opened his mouth with an expression of blatant discomfort.
“Kim Joo-hyuk, I have information that the Market and Bentrick families are next to you. “In addition, there is even evidence that there is a one-day relationship attached.”
“so?”
“Have you ever thought about what would happen if I spread the word that you have an affair with your school right now?”
After hearing the guild leader’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk thought for a moment and tried to talk, but the guild leader interrupted him.
“If you are thinking about using force, stop it. If you use force in this neutral city, you will not receive help from any constellation and will be reduced to ashes by the divine punishment of the ‘those with favor’ who are protecting this neutral city.”
“… … .”
“Sweetheart, I don’t know how you view us, but don’t think of using force or money to manipulate us.”
The guild leader said that and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk.
At that, Kim Joo-hyuk made a blank expression for a moment,
“No, I just wanted a deal… … . what… … “I heard that’s true?”
I muttered like that.
On that.
[The butcher of the newspaper is looking angry and will take care of it right away! He says and runs out!]
Such a notification window appeared in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
