Magician, Jurben Havellion.
A wizard who is the head of a school and respected by many wizards in the production world..
Sweat beaded on his forehead..
It wasn't that easy of a task..
Interfering with the laws of the spiritual world.
“Shit.”
The man in the robe muttered as he looked at the jewels on the workbench..
The jewel on the workbench was something the man received from an old man he met shortly after coming to this world..
Nowadays, it can be considered as a server and system of the spiritual world named Ghostbusters..
“Where on earth did I go wrong??”
Inside this little gem, nearly infinite magic circuits, large and small, are intertwined and intertwined..
The man developed his skills by analyzing and studying them, and modified the identified circuits one by one to create the current Ghostbusters..
but…….
“…Is this method impossible after all?.”
After that, the man who had been fixing the circuit by infusing magic into the jewel for a long time sighed as if he had both hands and feet up..
Actually, it was a bit funny to feel regretful..
What couldn't be achieved for decades can't suddenly be achieved within a few days, right?.
The biggest recent achievement was updating the nicknames of players who entered anonymous chat rooms so that they could be secretly viewed with administrator privileges..
Jiiiiiiing.
Then my personal pager vibrated..
There was no need to see who was contacting me..
“Yes, Soul Queens. Were there any issues about me??”
[yes… I haven't heard anything about Havelion anywhere yet..]
“…okay.”
The man felt annoyed and relieved at the same time..
20This is because the identity that was well hidden for nearly a year was revealed in an unexpected place..
“Please keep an eye on that. These rumors need to be suppressed well before they grow bigger. I will continue to look for numbers so that I can find out the identities of other members..”
[yes. and… sorry.]
“…….”
The man fell silent when the woman in the crystal ball apologized..
Even if it was just empty words, I didn't say anything like there was nothing to be sorry about..
“then… If any issues arise in the future, please contact us again..”
[Yes, rest..]
The man who soon ended the contact headed back to the workbench..
and…….
‘I think backtracking will be possible if the circuit is changed so that the location information at the time of connection is stored on the server.…….’
The man analyzed the jewel's complex internal circuitry..
As always, the answer would lie within this gem.
***
smart.
The moment I heard the knock, I immediately stood up..
‘…Who is it?’
I don't know.
Erwen won't come knocking, so I guess he's an outsider.…….
An outsider knocks on the front door, not the front door.?
‘Nimiral.’
I held my breath, lowered my posture, and approached the door as quietly as possible..
and at that moment.
Druk, drool.
A rattling sound was heard from the doorknob, and then the lock was unlocked..
I profit.
door opening slowly.
I was clenching my fists with the intention of subduing whoever the opponent was, but I froze when I saw who the opponent was..
“…Luckily it was inside.”
“Amelia……!”
“Tsk… … ! Well, I would have told you not to rush in suddenly.……!”
No, it's because I'm glad to see you..
People will feel embarrassed.
“…Come in quickly.”
“Excuse me…….”
Amelia seemed to hate the reunion hug, so she skipped it and hurried into the house..
There were more than one thing I was curious about..
However, if we ask sequentially,…….
“How did you know I was here??”
“…While waiting in front of the bank, I saw the fairy and ran after her..”
“huh? But why now…….”
“Because there was no way to approach.”
Eh?
That's why he always goes out during the day, saying he's going to a sacred place.?
When I told this, Amelia shook her head..
“No way. The woman was still near the house.”
Goosebumps ran down my spine..
“…Uh, then I've never been to a holy place before.?”
“no way… Didn't you know??”
“…….”
“But recently, he seems to have had a change of heart and has been away somewhere. I was late because I was watching for a few days to see if it was a trap..”
Still, I felt a little relieved by those words..
If it's a change of heart, then I'm talking about that conversation we had a while ago..
“so… What happened to Hyeolnyeonghu? It must have been difficult to understand that you came back alive. The same goes for the problem of evil spirits..”
“Ah, that worked out well..”
I briefly summarized what happened with Erwen and told only the important parts..
Amelia looked a little surprised..
“It doesn't matter if it's an evil spirit or not... … . That's an uncharacteristic way of thinking for an explorer from the land..”
“He got a little weird. Maybe it would have been difficult to think that way in the past..”
“Well, I guess not..”
“huh?”
“Aren't you the woman who didn't stop seeking revenge even after it was announced that you were an evil spirit? She must have already finished organizing her things a long time ago. It doesn't matter what you are.”
Hmm, maybe so..
“Anyway, I still nailed it and said it wasn't an evil spirit. Because I don't know what will happen later..”
Amelia chuckled..
“So am I the only one in this world who knows your identity??”
“No, there is one more person..”
“…Didn't Misha Karlstein say he didn't know you were an evil spirit??”
“It's someone else. I'm not even a local to begin with. I'm from my hometown.”
There was no reason to hide it, and there was a lot of room for him to become a variable in the future, so I told him about Lee Baek-ho..
However, the reaction was a little strange..
“Lee Baek-ho… … ? He's from your hometown?”
It's as if you heard the name of someone you know well..
Well, if you think about it, there were quite a few kids at the round table who knew about Lee Baek-ho..
I was originally going to ask Erwen subtly, but I think it would be better to just get the information from him..
“Is this a name you know??”
“…Everyone knows.”
“Well, since you moved over to this time zone much faster than me, you might have heard of it. Ah, but how long has it been since you came back??”
“2It was years ago.”
“Oh, so you're there 1:1 in time—”
“But it doesn't matter when I return. 'Cause I knew that guy a long time ago.”
huh?
I knew Baekho Lee before that.?
I stared at him as if I wanted a more detailed explanation, and then Amelia opened her mouth..
“Do you remember that I once worked as a team with an evil spirit for over a year??”
uh…….
“That evil spirit was Lee Baek-ho..”
What is this guy?.
There's nowhere I don't wear it..
***
Amelia met Lee Baek-ho about 5 years ago..
It is said that he approached intentionally after receiving instructions from the castle lord..
At the time, there was a suspicion that the guy might be an evil spirit, and this was done to confirm it..
Well, if it's an evil spirit, appeasement will be possible..
“Explorers who could use Aurors were rare, so it wasn't difficult to join his team. I stayed on his team for about a year like that..”
Amelia said that it was during that time that she obtained [self-replication] in the Doppelganger Forest and cleared the White Temple on the 3rd floor.…….
Wow, somehow I know all the hidden pieces..
If I went out with Baekho Lee, it would be worth it..
“so? So what happened?”
“Nothing special. After a year passed and no significant clues were found, Seongju also lost interest, and I made an excuse to get another mission and left the team. and… … I heard about it later..”
“That news?”
“I don't know the details either. Because the royal family at the time thoroughly concealed the incident. His identity was revealed simply due to a colleague's betrayal, and countless people died in the labyrinth that day. That was all we could find out through background investigation..”
Afterwards, Amelia said, the royal family destroyed Lee Baek-ho's materials and controlled information for several years to ensure that his existence was forgotten in the city..
I have a question here.
“But then how did you know the name Lee Baek-ho??”
“That's a relatively recent thing. I wonder if he really has a falling out with the royal family. These days, he appears everywhere and introduces himself as Lee Baek-ho. Oh, by the way, in the past, I used the pseudonym he used, or just called him 'him' like everyone else..”
I see…….
I never thought there would be people around me who knew about Lee Baek-ho's past..
“What was he like in the past??”
“Well, we weren't very friendly. Because I don’t like such light words and actions. Instead, except for me, everyone else had a very close relationship..”
“close relationship?”
“Yeah, just like the teams you made.”
Out of curiosity, I heard several stories related to Lee Baek-ho, and the more I heard, the more strange I felt..
“what? Except for him, everyone on the team is female? Do you even date all of them? Wow, what kind of labyrinth did this guy set up a harem in?…….”
“harem? I don't know what it is, but isn't it the same for you as your team members are all women??”
What do you say, this guy.
Mr. Bear is firmly holding his position..
Moreover, during Team Banpoon’s days, everyone except Misha was male..
“If that's the case. Do it like that.”
“That's not true, it's true. I ended up like this because I was only selected based on ability and aptitude, and I never saw it as a romantic partner and didn't do anything like that.—”
“No excuses. 'Cause I don't care at all.”
“……?”
“Isn’t the country you originally lived in different? I don't know what Korea is like, but it must have been similar to the aristocratic culture there..”
No, Korea is normally monogamous.…….
What on earth does this guy think of Korea?.
For some reason, I feel like Lee Baek-ho and I have ruined Korea's image, but we decided not to make any more excuses..
Because it's not that important.
Now that I've heard enough of the story, it was time to move on to the next topic..
“Amelia. What was the content of the note left at the bank??”
“…What does it mean? Just as little?”
“Oh, the last part of the letter Erwen gave me was torn. ‘Demon Crusher… … .' I only read up to the end but couldn’t read the rest..”
“…Yeah, that's right.”
When the topic soon turned to my big, precious hammer, Amelia looked visibly embarrassed..
“For some reason, they didn't mention that... … . Indeed, was it because I couldn’t read it?…….”
“No, doesn't that make you anxious? say it What happened to the hammer? I'm fine—”
“If it's a hammer, you're fine..”
Amelia cut me off firmly..
and…….
Sigh.
He said somewhat quietly while avoiding my gaze..
“In the vault of the collateral loan department of the Alminus Exchange…….”
ha…….
***
Amelia and me.
A heavy silence fell between us..
Amelia, who has always been a confident woman, was avoiding my eyes as if she was aware of her mistake, and in the end, it was I who spoke first..
“…So why did you sell it??”
There must be a good reason for that..
Not anyone else, not Amelia.—
“There is a correction to be made..”
“…huh?”
“I didn't sell it, I borrowed money using it as collateral..”
Uh huh, that's what I mean.
When I glared, Amelia cleared her throat..
“Still, you have to correct the mistakes to avoid problems later.—”
“Okay, just answer the questions. Why are you selling my hammer... No, did you borrow money as collateral? For what reason??”
“…To protect you when you return.”
Huh, I thought it would be like this too.
I don't know what it is, but there is a good reason why it had to be that way.—
“…I bought purified water at the auction house..”
“…………what?”
After a long silence, I finally regained my senses and opened my mouth, and Amelia continued speaking urgently..
“Don't worry. You can get it back as long as you repay the money by the repayment date..”
Those words made me come to my senses a little..
Well, if you need money urgently, you can do that..
Just by looking at it, it looks like Twin Hydra's [dual rule] was saved using this money. It was so good that if you could buy it with money, it would be natural to buy it..
But I have to check what I need to check and then pass by..
“…When is the repayment date??”
“2It's a month later.”
“…The money to be repaid?”
“Not right now.”
“So what are your plans to raise money??”
“…there was.”
Yes, it's in the past tense..
While I was already busy, a quest was added..
