INFINITY

023

"Are the preparations finished?" He wondered if she was the woman struck by madness yesterday and killed all the Cheoldoo Group.  "Yep! It is a bit rough but it is finished. There are plastic bottles to be used as water containers, goods to protect from the cold, and emergency supplies..."

Indeed, a soldier was useful in situations like this. "...It is up to here. If you need anything else..." There was nothing else I needed...I wanted to say but I suddenly thought about something. "Oh, did you find any portable battery at Alyona's sleeping figure?" I asked looking at the figure of the woman on the floor.

"You are talking about a battery? Why...?" It was natural to wonder. A smartphone was useless because no signal was available. I replied roughly. "I have a place to use it." Lee Hyunsung said he would look for it and started to search through the things left behind by the Cheoldoo Group if Alyona doesn't have any.

 Lee Gilyoung and Yoo Sangah also said they would help. "Are we going now by carrying Alyona or leave her alone?" Jung Heewon looked at me and asked pointing at the woman. "We're going. to carry her" She asked naturally as if there was no question that we would go together. This was Jung Heewon. 

It was welcome from my viewpoint.  The 'Judge of Destruction' was a talented person to who even Yoo Jonghyuk would pay attention. "I have many questions. regarding not only her" said Heewon as she stared at the woman on my back "Not now." I brushed her off.

"Ah really, you are an iron wall." Heewon scoffed and lightly punched me and laughed.

[You have received 1,500 coins from the character 'Jung Heewon.']

"This...?" I asked in confusion adjusting the woman at my back. "I am dividing it. I feel too sorry to eat it all alone. I will give it to other people." I understood what she was saying. Yesterday, Jung Heewon alone killed most of the Cheoldoo Group members. In other words, she obtained most of their coins. By the way... I was a bit nervous about this.

"You don't need to do this. besides, don't even think about giving some to this monster on my back, she has more coins than any of us here combined" Jung Heewon didn't know. I had a lot more coins than her, But of course, Alyona was once again an exemption. This monster is far richer than any of us combined here.

"I'm not Dokja-ssi, you know?" She punched my arms a few more times before walking towards the tunnel with her backpack. "Finish this off. I'll go ahead and make some arrangements." I warned Heewon as the monster- I meant the woman on my back suddenly started breathing again but made no move of waking up. "Don't go too far ahead. There are dangerous sections to go alone." Jung Heewon waved her hands as if not to worry while wandering away on her own.

[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' likes your comradeship.]

[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' smiles slyly.]

I watched the messages in the air blankly and said. 'Did you make a lot yesterday? It must be good.' There was no answer. I spoke once again. 'Don't keep pretending and tell me. I know you are watching.'

[Ah, hahaha... you caught me?]

It was Bihyung's voice. 

'How much did you earn?'

[...T-That. Um.]

I stared silently.

[Sigh, right. How did you know again...? I just can't get over it. Take this.]

[Dokkaebi 'Bihyung' has given you 4,500 coins.]

I thought so. This damn dokkaebi.

[...The constellations don't use the sponsorship system and send it directly to me. I don't know why. I'll give it to you later. Ah, there are these messages as well.]
