Boundless Necromancer

262. Earth (5)

Originally, I made a simple promise to Lee Ha-yeon.

But on Earth, she’s no different than my partner.

At least he said that he would reach out to her when he climbed the tower or returned to Earth.

But so far I haven’t kept that promise properly.

To the point where it feels really savage.

-Contrary to what you promised me, you climbed the tower silently and never contacted me properly…

Is it because of your mood that the nape of your neck suddenly feels cold?

─It seems that you have such a close acquaintance at the tower?

The words Lee Ha-yeon whispered with a small smile lingered in her mind.

‘Uh…’

And at the same time, when I saw her smiling brightly, my mouth closed tight.

…What should I do when this happens?

To be honest, I wanted to gloss over it, but I couldn’t because of the feelings I had for Lee Ha-yeon.

I don’t know why, but she was drawing feelings like anxiety or nervousness.

In response, I shook my head for a moment and then pretended to be okay and said,

“This is how we got to know each other. yes. And what I couldn’t contact was—”

but.

“There must have been an unavoidable situation. don’t be like that So, even when you came out of the giant tree labyrinth, you didn’t say a word to me, did you?”

Should I say it’s a counterattack that continues like flowing water?

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut like a mute who had eaten honey.

It was worth it.

Even then, honestly, I could have said a few words to her and climbed the tower.

Especially when it comes to partners who take care of all the troublesome chores every time they come to Earth.

‘…I just delayed it because I thought it would be a waste of time.’

Soon after that, the moment I try to make another excuse.

“I understand. There must be something else important to Sungyoon. I was just a little upset.”

Lee Ha-yeon scratched her cheek and said as if she didn’t mean it.

“So let’s sit down for now. There seem to be a lot of people who haven’t arrived yet.”

It felt like it was all a prank.

“Ah yes…”

Seeing her natural gesture, I nodded naturally and followed her.

And following her gestures, he sat down.

But…

“It’s been a while…! you! Is this the first time I’ve seen you since the giant tree labyrinth?”

…Why is the place she guided me to?

Before I knew it, I was sitting in the middle between Lee Ha-yeon and Catherine Bennett.

Catherine Bennett looked at me with a bright smile, but there was no time to answer.

“By the way…”

It was justified.

“Who is the woman sitting there?”

Because Katherine Bennet let go of her eye smile at once and asked that question.

Of course, the corners of her mouth are still drawing arc lines, but…

I didn’t think I could see that as a bright smile like before.

Just like a dog wagging its tail stiffly, wary of strangers.

She, too, was smiling warily.

“hello?”

Lee Ha-yeon turned her head to that wary question and said with a smile.

“nice to see you. Catherine Bennett. I am Lee Ha-yeon, the new guild leader of the Baekeun Guild.”

And…

“I’m also a top challenger in the 9th place on the 17th floor.”

next moment.

“Perhaps I will be in charge of all of Sungyoon’s auxiliary activities…”

She lightly put her hand on my shoulder and gave Catherine Bennet a deep smile.

“As much as possible, I will do my best to support Seong-yoon so that she never gets entangled with Catherine Bennet.”

…For some reason, my head felt dizzy.

***

A self-introduction that makes you feel cool even though you don’t know where it is.

“Huh… I don’t know why, but it seems like something interesting happened?”

“Iknow, right. hmm. There’s still plenty of time left for the meeting, but it won’t be boring.”

“What is that again…? pestilence. As I live, I see all sorts of things. … like an envious child.”

Some of the eyes in the conference room were focused on this direction.

A gaze as if watching a fire in someone else’s house.

However, among the sudden attention, there were those who recognized it as a fire in their own house, not as a Buddhist scripture.

“That’s right…”

Right…

“Does that sound interesting?”

Catherine Bennett was like that.

She twisted her red hair with a trembling hand and drew an arc around her mouth.

without a smile in the eyes.

As it was, Katherine Bennett’s blue eyes narrowed as she continued to speak.

“I didn’t expect to meet someone who is famous for being an exploratory challenger here.”

What the hell is this all about?

‘To think that his name is widely known as a searcher type challenger…’ I

was curious as the strange voice came and went as if it were natural.

It was worth it.

I also wonder if Lee Ha-yeon, who was suddenly in charge of the team leader, became the guild leader of the Baekeun guild…

Hearing that she became famous in less than a few months, I felt a sense of alienation.

‘Was Lee Ha-yeon that good as a challenger…?’

Of course, if you look at the mana that is felt in her body right now, you can roughly understand it.

Even so, it was difficult to accept the changes that occurred in a short period of time at once.

Especially if it’s the growth of an acquaintance that I didn’t think of.

However, the sense of heterogeneity that had arisen in my head had to disappear as if it were separated somewhere.

“is that so?”

He would…

“I never thought I’d see Catherine Bennett here.”

It is because Lee Ha-yeon’s face turned colder before she knew it.

“Ah, I never expected to see him act like an immature puppy.”

A cold expression that didn’t match the voice that seemed to be praising.

That’s why I noticed right away.

That, in fact, was a high-level slicing, like a sword that hid a life.

I couldn’t figure out why it was turning around so suddenly.

But I couldn’t stay still like this.

‘I don’t know why you’re doing this all of a sudden, but I’ll have to mediate…’

The moment I tried to mediate between the two.

“Immature puppy…?”

Suddenly, a chilling voice came from the left.

All of a sudden, Katherine Bennett’s eyes were filled with emotionless, black dead light.

It’s also very chilly.

But that was only for a moment.

She glanced over here with her teeth clenched tightly, and then let out a laugh as if laughing.

“Huh…”

That’s…

“Ah- come to think of it, if you don’t know what kind of colleague relationship Sungyoon and I are, you can see it that way.”

The kind of laughter I’ve never heard before.

“Really…”

Nothing else…

“Poor.”

It was a ridicule that winners often blow at losers.

***

As Katherine Bennet let out a quiet sneer, the reaction came.

It was nothing else, but the lines of the corners of her mouth that Lee Ha-yeon had been barely maintaining were distorted.

very quickly too.

Seeing that, Catherine Bennett drew closer to me, smiled softly, and innocently said:

“Ummm… Come to think of it. I haven’t heard from Seong-yoon about challenger Lee Ha-yeon, so it must be because of my mood, right?”

And that too in a very bright and bright voice.

“I don’t think I’m close with Sungyoon, but it’s okay if you give me moderate support.”

Calling him by his first name, Sungyoon, unlike the

previous names he used to call him with loose ends.

I didn’t know why, but I didn’t have the courage to ask the question outright.

It was worth it.

The emotions of these two sitting on the left and right were growing thick as if nervousness, anxiety, and hostility were mixed.

As if being jealous.

“…You don’t seem friendly? What do you mean?”

“No, that’s right~. They still call each other by such hard names. hmm. I’m sorry if I’m mistaken.”

“…It’s an illusion. And since we are all involved in business in the first place, there’s no way we can call it that lightly, right?”

“Yes, yes. Since I only have a business relationship with Sungyoon, I guess I haven’t heard anything about challenger Lee Ha-yeon.”

“That can’t be… how good I was at assisting Mr. Seong-yoon… there’s no way I could.”

Lee Ha-yeon, who had been slightly pushed back in the war of nerves before she knew it, turned her gaze to me as if she was anxious.

Her eyes glowed with desperation, as if pleading.

It’s also very bright.

“Sungyoon-san… is that so…?”

The eyes of a small animal on the verge of being abandoned by its owner.

I had no choice but to open my mouth.

and.

“…it’s just that we haven’t had that kind of conversation with each other because we don’t have time.”

After replying, I could see that Lee Ha-yeon’s face brightened noticeably.

However, Katherine Bennett began to notice her impatiently.

He seemed to doubt whether his own guess was wrong.

As I was watching it, a voice with an interesting tone suddenly rang in my ears.

Exactly…

―Ho….

It was Damcheonwoo.

―I heard that even slugs have a knack for rolling…

He let out a sarcastic laugh as if the current situation was amusing.

―Has something interesting happened that doesn’t suit you?

‘…don’t talk needlessly, just be quiet.’

-hate. It’s been a while since I’ve had such a fun thing. How can you just skip this?

‘Then I’d rather give you some advice that would be effective in this situation.’

―Clack… It seems foolish. At times like this, if you just keep quiet, half of the time will go.

‘…’

In a word, it meant to stay like this.

And then I couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

It was worth it.

I had never experienced this kind of development in my entire life.

‘It’d be easier to climb the tower.’

I never thought I would have to go through an unknown war of nerves as soon as I came to Earth.

It seems like they’ve never met each other, but I don’t understand why they harbor feelings of jealousy…

But it was also difficult to mediate on this side.

It seems to me that the reason why the two of them are jealous of each other for some reason now exists.

More than anything, it bothered me that I didn’t contact these two because I saved every minute and second even though I could contact them.

‘Actually, it’s a big deal that I broke all these promises.’

Originally, it wouldn’t have been strange even if I had heard bitter words over and over again.

So, I had nothing to say.

Because they have a lot of things tailored to me.

But it couldn’t be like this forever.

‘…Still, it would be better to mediate than to stay like this.’

The moment when they tried to stop fighting nerves by revealing their jealousy to each other.

“Isn’t there a completely new drama now?”

A miracle-like variable appeared.

“I was told that he was a challenger for the number one ranking, so I tried to look at his face, but what kind of a bastard he is…” It’s

nothing else

…

Suddenly, one of the challengers in the conference room said so.

It was a provocation that would have been insignificant before, but…

at least now it doesn’t feel so insignificant or annoying.

It was worth it.

“A bug-like guy is a man in the grass, and he walks around with his neck tightened.”

Unlike the current situation, which cannot be dealt with with force…

「Accomplished the achievement ‘Evasion of Arrogance’.」

「Agility increases

by 3.」 “That’s true…”

Because this fight can be dealt with with force.

“He says something funny.”

It’s very simple too.
