62 – Travel (2)

“Because the possibility is high.”

“What possibilities?”

Jikelle answers with a frown.

As she looked at that scene, she felt frustrated, as if a thousand dollars were inside her. Why does Professor Lee keep speaking while omitting the subject?

“The possibility of you being the first to die.”

“Yes?”

“Even if it’s not tomorrow night, you’ll still be in danger.”

What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden? I had to tilt my head at the sudden noise, and Zikel took out a cigar from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

Hiking, the cigar he opened lit up and acrid gray smoke came out of his mouth.

“Please tell me in detail.”

I didn’t like the strong smell of cigarettes and Zikelle’s attitude, so I frowned and urged Zikelle.

“···It’s impossible. “You know what this is.”

Then Zikel rolled up the sleeves of his clothes, held out his right wrist, and showed it to me.

The gaze goes down. Then it starts to appear. A familiar magic circle engraved on his wrist.

“You can’t tell me because you’re bound by a contract, is this?”

When I asked, rubbing my head, Jikkel nodded his head.

“···Please say something without violating the contract. “You keep speaking vaguely, and honestly, I’m very frustrated.”

“What makes you frustrated is none of my business. “I must say this.”

“Yes, yes. Please do anything.”

I got irritated for a moment and answered by pouting.

It was worth it. Zikel, this person has been scratching people’s minds while saying only vague things since a while ago.

Did he at least peek into my heart? When Zikel saw my crumpled expression, his expression crumpled like mine, and he finished speaking while exhaling cigarette smoke.

“Do not install it in the future.”

“What?”

“It means not to be noticed by others. Unless you want to lose that precious life in vain.”

Jikelle said this with a very serious expression.

I felt a moment of repulsion, but when I saw Jikel’s expression, I could no longer speak.

‘There is something.’

Suddenly a thought occurred to me.

I think this person also has a story worth telling.

I don’t know what it is, but one thing is certain.

That complex expression where remorse, anger, resentment, regret, and sadness coexist is not something that anyone can make.

I was curious what the story was.

Concluding that I could not answer since I was bound by a contract, I decided to change the subject.

“Then let me ask you one question that the professor can answer.”

“···?”

“Is there anyone else with the same abilities as you? If so, how much do you have?”

“There is. “At least five.”

“Is it because of those people who told me not to install it?”

“···.”

“First of all, I understand.”

After seeing the desired reaction from Zikelle, I nodded, feeling relieved for the first time in this cabin.

Because, I was able to guess a little bit about why Zikelle was saying this to me.

‘This person knows that I am a vessel.’

And he doesn’t want me to fall for the Chaos Church.

‘It seems like there is a connection with Chaos Bridge.’

I don’t know what the reason or story is, but I guess we’ll find out little by little.

Thinking about that, I decided to ask Zikel one last question.

“If I ask to learn, can you teach me something to counter that ability?

“I don’t feel like it, but I intend to.”

“Then, I will see you next week. Are you okay?”

“···.”

After hearing what I said, Zikel nodded his head while scrunching up his expression as if he had bitten a bug.

I also didn’t like Jikel with that expression on his face, and I didn’t feel like asking him to learn from me.

I had no choice. If, in the unlikely event that someone targeting me has the same ability as Zikelle, that person could easily take my life.

Of course, it wouldn’t matter at all if it were a being with demonic energy, but that may not be the case.

So, it was a wise choice for me to be prepared.

“If you don’t have anything more to say, I’ll just leave. Ah, but Professor.”

When I thought the conversation was over, I got up and headed towards the door, then turned my head again and scolded Zikel in a low voice.

“I have no intention of dying. “Even if I have thoughts of killing him.”

It was sincere.

****

The magic sailboat’s voyage that started in the evening did not come to an end until 8 a.M., And all the travel club members who got off the sailboat were gathered at the dock.

“Oh.”

I was the last to get off the sailboat and had to let out an exclamation with my mouth wide open.

It was worth it. Because such a beautiful scenery was unfolding before my eyes.

Under the strong sun, sparkling blue sea,

Cliffs of magnificent size,

Numerous colorful buildings built in terraces on top of them, and colorful flowers and trees visible here and there.

Arvik was a city with picturesque scenery that could not help but excite anyone.

“That’s right…”

“Woah, wow…”

Was that just my idea? I turned my head and looked at the source of the sound.

The first thing I saw was Rose sobbing with her mouth covered.

The next thing I saw was a grasshopper crawling on the floor… No, it was Senior Yukir.

So you should drink it in moderation. After thinking that, I looked at Rose with a sad expression.

‘I see you remember?’

Rose, who made eye contact with me, blushed, let out a huff, turned her head, and then began to gag again.

Pisik, looking at that scene makes me laugh for no reason.

“Everyone pay attention. Explain today’s schedule…”

In the meantime, Zikelle’s voice is heard.

From Noble mtl dot com

Standing in front of the gathered members, he immediately focused their attention and began explaining today’s schedule.

‘You’re not the type to speak coherently.’

As I listened to explanations where the subject was omitted from time to time, I naturally had this thought.

If you can explain things as hard to understand as I do, it is an ability.

The explanation would be complete in just three words.

– Spend 2 hours of free time in Arvik.

-While climbing the mountain, visit two tourist attractions in the middle.

-Go to bed after enjoying the party at the sponsor’s mansion on the mountainside.

Jikelle talked about this simple content for over 10 minutes.

‘First go there and get that artifact…

Either way or not. I was concentrating on planning a route to make the most of my free time.

‘It just so happens to be like that.’

I thought as I looked at Rose, who still had a pale complexion.

Even Rose wouldn’t be able to follow me in that condition, so it’s a perfect situation for her to suck honey on her own.

“Then, from now on, you have free time…”

As I was thinking that, Zikelle’s lengthy explanation was coming to an end.

After I finish saying that, I have to move right away.

“I will give it to you, but it would be too dangerous to travel alone in this foreign country. It wouldn’t be fun. “Isn’t that right?”

As I was thinking that, an unexpected story began to come out of Jikelle’s mouth.

“So, from now on, I plan to pair up two people.”

Jikel smiled incongruously and took out a piece of parchment from her arms, and the traveling team members cheered and looked at Jikel with excited expressions.

‘This is a bit difficult…’

I don’t know about anyone else, but it was a situation I didn’t want to be in because I wanted to move alone.

Do you know my heart or not?

Jikelle was still smiling and continuing to talk.

“However, it would be uncomfortable for new members to walk alone with a senior. So, unless it was unavoidable, the pairs were made up of students from the same grade.”

When Zikel said that, the seniors booed and did not hide their disappointment.

“So that those who are dissatisfied can raise their hands and talk to me confidently.”

However, Professor Zikel did not hide his discomfort either, and the seniors quickly became extremely quiet.

“First, let’s announce the exceptions. Chairman Yukir and Rose. “These two were judged to be unable to move, so they were placed in the same group.”

When Jikel spoke, everyone’s eyes went straight to Rose and Yukir, and both of them blushed and lowered their heads.

“Then…”

Were you satisfied with the choice? Zikel began to tell each person their partner with a happy expression.

“Fran, and Gail.”

“Ah.”

“Joe, it was great!”

When Jikelle matched her, Fran let out a noise, and Gail, who looked timid, clenched her fists in delight.

“Phew.”

Why? When she saw that, she felt better for no reason.

“Next, Camel.”

As I was doing so, Zikel pointed at me and lowered her gaze to the parchment.

When I saw that, I gulped, swallowed dry saliva, and got very nervous.

‘Please.’

I desperately wanted to move alone. I hope that the name leaking from those obnoxious lips is the name I want.

Because, if it weren’t for him, it felt like an awkward situation would have happened.

“And Rachel.”

Jikelle announced that, and when I heard this, I immediately turned my head.

Sure enough.

Rachel looked as if she had stepped on poop despite the fact that she had come out looking very pretty.

Is that so? As she looked at Rachel, her expression fading, the corners of her mouth began to twitch.

Rachel van Armad.

This was the name of the woman who, after arguing with me, was going to walk around Arvik for two hours alone.
