MEMORIZE

I looked at her with a look of incomprehension for a moment. Ko asked back, opening her eyes wide, whether she had read my questionable expression.

"Oh, you didn't know? I've had a tail since I came out of Mule. Didn't you march on purpose to get rid of them?”

"Oops."

It was only then that I could understand the details of Ko Yeon-ju. Certainly, we could feel the signs of some users following us when we left Mule. And I thought, rather than seeing them as vagabonds, our burgeoning users followed suit. It's already a userless Mule, and every time I go out on an expedition, it's covered with high-quality equipment, so any user with any sense would have paid attention to it at least once.

But I had to tilt my head again. I didn't go on a fast march to get rid of them, but I could see it as one thing or another. The fact that they are following the pace of this march means that they are not very new users. I was lost in thought for a moment, then asked her in a calm voice.

"I'm sure we've opened some distance before a day has passed. Are they still chasing you? And how did the user play know that?”

"It's not like I'm chasing them, it's more like I'm following them at a certain distance. I think they're tracking the traces of us leaving if there's a good archer. And have you forgotten who I am? I put a shadow on them from day one."

It was not until I heard her softly responding voice that I could understand her first words. Should I leave it or take it off? That means that if we camp here now, they are within a distance of catching up with us.

It's still hard to tell whether they're simply users following or vagabonds. However, I tended to hate to go around with a tail. I was able to make up my mind without much thought, even though I had a moment of acupuncture.

"I'll camp here."

"I'm taking them off, but they seem very cautious, so is it that easy to get caught? We have eight people on our side."

"You don't have to move everything. And if you don't come from there, you can come in from here."

"Huh?"

As soon as Ko heard me, she had a thin nasal sound. Then I narrowed my eyes slightly, and slowly began to open my face. After examining my face for a while, she soon opened her mouth in a low voice.

"I could use the help of my party. Or maybe I can help you."

"It's okay, if you're in the beginning, you don't have to spoil the good atmosphere as soon as you get to the Cave of Scream point.”

"Let's just say it is. What about me?

"User Ko, please stay at the base camp. We have to be prepared for one possibility. Anyway, I think it's enough to take care of them by myself."

"…You don't want to do it alone?”

I was immediately shut up at the sudden sharpness of the word hit the nail on the head. I felt like I was being poked inside at the moment. I could see a deep smile around her mouth as if she had seen my reaction.

I stared at her with calm eyes and turned away. I didn't want to talk to her anymore. Because Ko Yeon-joo and I were similar. Should I say it's a similar idea? That's how she pinpointed the inner side of me.

"You know what? You laughed for the first time since you left the expedition.”

I laughed? I didn't feel it at all. I smoothed my mouth with a calm touch. Then behind my back, I felt her words holding me back one more time.

"Well, they're not helpful, they're lucky not to get in the way. Okay. Instead, watch out for bats."

I calmly raised my hand and responded to her.

Then, he approached the huddled group from a distance and opened his mouth.

"I'm going to camp here today. It's a little early, but the time frame is ambiguous."

When I declared that I would camp after the march today, everyone in my party looked at me with a look of surprise. But everyone's relief on one side of their faces didn't seem too reluctant.

So we decided to have an early dinner after organizing the campsite. Since I told you that I will wake up early tomorrow and leave as soon as I go to bed early today, everyone will go to bed quickly. Looking at the children eating with a brighter face, I opened my mouth in a quiet voice.

"Today's fire watch will go just like yesterday, but it will make some changes."

Everyone in my party listened to me. I secretly turned my senses to check one sign and spoke loudly as if to hear it.

Originally, one person stood on the watch, but this time, it was decided to increase the time per hour and change it to two people standing. Of course, there was a way to change it like this. And I just hope there's a smart one among them who's a little brainy. So that they can easily figure out what they want and deal with it.

"So I'm going to be the first one to play the user's song today. The people behind you can pair up in pairs, except for me and Ko Yeon-joo, as they stood on the watch yesterday."

"Kim Soohyun. Do you really need two people to do it?"

When Vivien raised his hand and asked, I answered, shaking my head.

"Yes, I think we need to be more vigilant. Especially since we're in the mountains. And the rule is to make a team of two. In the past, we were forced to stand one by one because there weren't many people, but now we're not. I was going to do that when I started this expedition, but I forgot. So I think it's better to change it from now on."

"Hmm. Definitely two are better than one. I've been thinking about whether to give you a suggestion or not, but you've been thinking about it.”

"Yes, and...Since there are many thick bushes and trees around, there are many restrictions on the view. One guard the base camp, the other patrols around lightly, and we can maximize efficiency."

"All right, I agree."

As Shin Sang-yong, who pursues safety, helped, a quiet stir broke out among the party. But no matter what I feel inside, there was no flaw in what I just said. In the end, the party was able to close the fire with consent.

Then there was a little commotion. Everyone seemed to be trying to figure out who was there before and after him. After a short period of time, the group, one by one, identified their mates, resumed their meals again. And Ansol, who seemed relieved that his partner was not a high performer, suddenly turned his head toward the thick bushes with a strange face.

"Woof…?"

"Sol. What's wrong with you?"

"No. I think someone is staring at us."

At the end of the word, a black bird popped out of the bushes with a pouting sound. In time, Ahn turned his head to say that he was nothing when he watched "Thirst" flying far into the air.

"It's a bird. It wasn't a big deal. Never mind, let's have dinner. Here. Try this soup. The taste is absolutely unbelievable."

"Birds? I don't think so.I don't want to. I can eat alone."

Ansol pouted, refusing Ahn Hyun's spoon. While Ahn Hyun was immediately putting down the spoon again, I exchanged meaningful eyes with Ko Yeon-joo.

So we finished our dinner and prepared for bed right away. The group chatted for a while, but they all looked drowsy because they had a warm meal after a long time. I leaned back on the tree as I saw users burying themselves in sleeping bags. There was still a little time left before the night.

*

I'm sure it's in the mountains, so the darkness seems to come quickly. Before I knew it, I took a sip of tea, looking at the dark dusk. The Chinese characters of the car are relaxed during the exploration at the crossroads between life and death. I don't think it suits me, but I couldn't ignore the sincerity that Ko gave me. And the tea she rode tasted very good.

Once again, the moment I put the teacup in my mouth, I could see Ko giving me a wink. I just took a sip with a nonchalant face. As if you don't know anything.

The first user to speak was Ko.

"It's called a fire watch. It's pretty boring."

"It's a boring, but important guard job."

"I don't see a rat, let alone a monster."

I yawned loudly at her words. Then he opened his mouth in a sleepy voice.

"Well, that's true. It's shift time soon anyway, so please wait a little longer. I think the time will be perfect if we go on a patrol.”

"It's bothersome. Do we really need to go?"

"You never know. I'll just go around lightly, so please wait here. When I get here, I'll switch with the other party immediately. Oh, but I want to finish this tea and go."

We were really communicating in a perfunctory way. Just enough to hear it literally. I drank tea as slowly as I could. Like you're savoring a drop and a drop. To be honest, I set up Ko Yeon-joo as the first person to come in and play just in case they pushed us in while waiting for us to fall asleep, but he didn't come in as ignorant as I thought. Then it means you're trying to get a chance or you have a different plan.

After the conversation, I played a joke for 30 minutes, and slowly shook my seat and stood up. And after lightly saying that he would go to Ko Yeon-ju, he went into the bushes. At the same time, I could feel a flag hovering around me secretly following me.

I've opened some distance from the base camp, though I've said I'm going around lightly. As a result, I was completely separated from the party. I thought for a moment that I would pretend to be lost. However, I decided to just walk calmly because I thought it would be a little offending. I didn't even activate the third eye and sense on purpose. When you know in advance, your body instinctively responds to defense. Since I'm going to let you get caught, I was going to let you win.

It seemed to have been about 10 minutes since I patrolled the area. It was just as curious as to how the hell they'd come out.

"Scream!"

I could see a black shadow rising in the bushes, about my knees, with a roar of air tearing up. Are you finally starting to act? The identity of the shadow was a bat that had been hiding around our party since earlier. I looked back with a startled look on my face, and the bat just brushed past my shoulder.

"Ugh! You punk!"

As soon as I pulled out the sword, slightly distorting my face, the bat flew up into the air as if he were teasing me and soon began to mess around me. I swung my sword awkwardly, and the bat occasionally threatened my arm, dodging from side to side.

The user who controls the bat seemed to know that I was in my 0th year. Otherwise, I wouldn't have set up such a loophole. Of course, in the seven days since I left Mule, I've rarely been in combat, but it's just like treating me like a fool. I clasped my lips and swung the sword loudly. It was true that he was deceived even though he knew it, and no matter how much it was for acting, he felt dirty.

It was then.

"Scream!"

The bat howled in pain, flew high into the air, and soon began to stagger to one side.

A bat's wing was caught accidentally, even though it was definitely a random sword. It was absurd for me to actually swing it. This is too revealing. I was so curious about who the owner was, but the important thing was to maintain the acting.

"Stop right there, man!"

I shouted once loudly and followed the bat running away.

============================ Review of the work ============================

Hello, I'm Ro Yu Jin.

Suspicious users (or vagabonds) conducting obvious operations.

And our main character, Kim Soo-hyun, who is fooled even though he knows.

Please look forward to the next episode. :)

PS. We've got a lot of notes. I'll give you a reply one by one. If you get a slow reply, you can think that you're late because you're answering other people's notes. We ask for your generous understanding.

리 Ripple 『

1. Mewol Yeonggum: Congratulations on winning first place. You finally won first place. Please enjoy this episode as well.

2. SanIkerJIN: Thank you. I think I'm feeling a little better today, so I overworked myself and it's spinning again. ㅜ.ㅠ

3. Human life: I know. Every time I cough, my throat cracks. I can't even swallow water. Crying.

4. Sunset in the evening: hahaha. Help me. Maybe I'll be sick in bed.

5. Op to love 19: Whoa.

6. Larry Honey: NO. East, West, South and North continents have users from all four countries.(It was mentioned before.) Among them, Koreans are focusing on the North continent. :)

7. rkfmak: Well. Seraf is such a poor kid. To be honest, it's a little vague to touch. -_-a

8. Koya: Hum Hum. Strangely, I like the service scene. There's something that's slightly... Hah, hah, hah.

9. Enthusiasm: No. Magoyle is a Golem monster, and he has a tiny nucleus in his body. First, Hayeon's water sequence order created a path to the nucleus, and then directly hit it with electricity. However, as you said, Sangseong could not completely rip the nucleus. All I had to do was stop him. However, that's what the two users were aiming for.

10. Refill: Uh. Well, in the text of the previous episodes, South Korea, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom. Users from all four countries are currently on Hallplane. That's what it says. You're as sharp as the shivering refill. (Crying)
