Returner User Manual Chapter 1078
Picnic (41) (illustration)
It was important to always maintain a sad expression.
Of course, the point is to pretend that you are okay and that nothing is wrong when I feel the gaze of others.
In the meantime, I didn't forget to show a hint of sadness on my face. It's a subtle change that people who don't know Lee Ki-young well can't feel a sense of discomfort, but those who know Lee Ki-young well can't help but feel that there's something there...
It is not unreasonable for members of the blue guild who are close to this area to feel a sense of discomfort.
It's you.
For existing members, it was enough to look from the distance for a few seconds, but for new guild members, it was a matter of showing off a little more. Of course, there is no one who does not know the reason for the sadness that came on Lee Ki-young.
'Kim Hyunseong and him...'
Didn't the deputy guild master's behavior noticeably change starting from the 'incident' that occurred in the banquet hall, which caused a conflict between Kim Hyun-seong and Ki-young Lee?
'It's all because of Kim Hyun-seong. That guy is the culprit.'
The unnatural facial expression, swollen eyes as if from tears, and the occasional lethargic behavior all told us who the culprit of this incident was.
In contrast to Kiyoung, who looks at the sunset alone and shows a lonely back, that guy is currently walking around outside every day and having a good time with bastards whose names they have never heard of...
It was clear even while flying in Griffen who the victims and perpetrators of this incident were.
usually....
"In a fight like this, it's basic to play politics with acquaintances."
In fact, it is correct to say that guild members are paying close attention. Most guild members were just waiting for this typhoon to pass without incident, and those who had accumulated years of experience and had a say were the ones urging reconciliation.
It was clearly Kim Hyun-seong's fault for drinking and causing a disturbance at the banquet hall, but the hidden story behind it was unknown.
Since there were so many cases where people thought they would take over like this, the guild members may have decided that it would be better to wait and see.
Then, it seemed like the fight was getting a little more intense, so the reconciliation expedition was dispatched...
'maybe.'
Park Deok-gu would have been on my side, and Jo Hye-jin would have been on Kim Hyun-seong's side...
I tried to take a mediating position as much as possible, telling each person that they should go to each other to understand and reconcile, but how can I maintain balance as a mediator in this situation?
It was natural that sympathy would pour in from some people and criticism from others.
-I have to say.
-But... Yeri Kim...
-I don't think this is right. I don't know the context, but no matter how wrong Kiyoung oppa was, I can say that
This isn't it. This is... not this...
'okay. That's it, Yeri.'
-Actually, Hyunseong oppa was the one who made the first mistake at the banquet hall.
-We don't know how things happened like this. Don't we all know that guild masters don't treat assistant guild masters carelessly? I thought there might be a good reason for that, but... looking at the current situation... it seems like the guild master is going too far.
-I think the guild master was harsh this time. Mistakes in the banquet hall are mistakes, but I don't understand what happened afterwards... Should I say that the post-processing was even more disappointing?
-As expected of Jeongyeon. You think so too, right?
-Yes, that's right. Yesterday, Deok-gu was so angry that he got scolded for trying to stop him. That's probably why Mr. Beo looked so pitiful. It seemed like he was trying to be as bright as possible... but it looks like he didn't sleep well last night either.
'You became my uncle without me even knowing it...'
-I just don't understand. I'm going to talk today. I can't wait any longer.
-If that's what Yeri wants... I won't stop you... but I don't think the guild master will back down easily this time.
Our Yeri grew up so well. You don't know how proud I am.
The situation on the other side is no different.
-Hey, Alps senior.
-huh?
-Are the assistant guild master and guild master okay?
-Written... well. This is my first time doing something like this. Of course, I heard that the two of them clashed occasionally, and that they fought once, but I don't think I've ever seen anything this serious. Park Rian also said that since the atmosphere was not good, it would be better to be careful with your actions... I think this is the first time the atmosphere has become this cold. Be careful with Belly too.
-Well... I guess so. By the way, senior. This is the guild master's mistake... no. Even if you think that way, you shouldn't say it. Of course, I think so too... but I think we just have to wait for this to pass. It seems like Jo Hye-jin is putting a lot of effort into it.
-bruise! bruise!
-Albino! Even albino has to be quiet.
-bruise! bruise! bruise! bruise!
-Like last time, you shouldn't bark when the guild master passes by! got it?
'Public opinion is already on my side. Even the albino is on my side.'
Deok-gu is already continuously requesting to meet with Kim Hyun-sung, and I remember Jo Hye-jin met with Kim Hyun-sung and talked to him several times.
Actually, there is no need to get political like this.
Because Kim Hyun-seong was already on a rope.
I thought the setting of me looking at the sunset alone and coming down with a lonely expression would work, but I never imagined it would work this well.
Isn't it okay if it doesn't work?
On the outside, he was maintaining his hard-line attitude as before, but just looking at the situation, I could feel that Kim Hyun-seong was psychologically shaken.
Not only did he lift and put down the goddess hand mirror several times a day, but sometimes he looked around in front of my door and looked worried.
Wasn't the reason Kim Hyun-seong came up with such a ridiculous plan in the first place was because he didn't want his close friend to suffer anymore?
Kim Hyun-seong himself must be feeling skeptical about his plan because he has to inflict pain in order to prevent suffering.
Nevertheless, the reason he is sticking to his previous attitude is probably because he realized that he have already gone too far to go back.
"Oh, oh, brother, are you okay?"
"Of course I'm okay. I feel relieved because Hayan is with me."
"R, really?"
"Yes, I'm not saying this out of empty words, I'm really relieved."
Meanwhile, what I wanted to praise Kim Hyun-seong for was that he did not tell the guild members about the Rohen Continent.
'He keeps it secret.'
Is it because he is determined to handle it on his own terms without needing to inform them, is it because I told him not to tell, or is it because he wants to call himself a villain? I don't want to embarrass my position.
I don't know if he wants to, but Kim Hyun-seong is still maintaining his silence.
"ha, just stay here. I'll bring you food."
Nodding at Jeong Ha-yan's kindness, I secretly turns the telescope towards Kim Hyun-seong, and his figure comes into view.
Still staring at the goddess' hand mirror. He sits alone at the table and continues to look at the goddess' hand mirror with a serious expression.
-Sigh.....
He sighed once again, looked at the goddess' hand mirror once again, and then held it in his hand.
Put it down. Even if you send me a message, I won't reply anyway...
-damn.....
"I guess he think I'll accept it. Does he know that if he send a message, everything will be resolved?"
-Shit!
The act of holding one's head as if one is in pain is somehow embarrassing.
It was showing the standard of Shinpa to the point where I thought it might be going too far, but the actor's visuals and serious eyes combined make it look like something worth watching.
The guy who forced his gaze away from the hand mirror landed on his storage cabinet.
-sigh....
What he took out of the cabinet was Deukju, the one that made Kim Hyunseong drunk last time.
-Even in the first round... I didn't drink like this.
'Ah, bastard.'
Maybe he didn't think that the bad luck was caused by alcohol, but he continued to drink while shaking his head.
I start to inhale.
'he needs to stop drinking...'
The fact that he doesn't control his intoxication with either divinity or magic, and instead seems to want to get drunk makes me doubt whether this bastard is really the returnee I chose.
-Sigh.....
If the masked hero had known that he was an alcoholic, he wouldn't have chosen him.
"Oh, Oppa, Sora,Sora-ya, come here, dinner is ready."
"Jeong Hayan...."
"..."
"Suddenly... tears come out. Jeong Hayan... did all the cooking..."
"Heh... hehehe... Because everyone is gathered together like this. So good."
"It's so delicious. Jeong Hayan."
"Oh, what about you?"
"me too...."
"..."
"..."
"Cheer up. brother"
"yes. Deputy guild master. It's not the deputy guild master's fault."
"Hyunseong oppa... was a bit bad, wasn't he?"
"No. It's just a brief misunderstanding between us... It's not something Hayan should worry about."
"If you're having a hard time, please tell me at any time."
'What are you going to do if I tell you?'
anxious.
'I shouldn't be like this too much here. Hayan and Hyeonseong are going to fight.'
Since I had no desire to watch the real-time clash between the strongest players in the world, I gave it a reasonable package and pretended to be okay. In fact, I appealed to Hayan-yi that I would continue to stay there because it was difficult. Only then did I see Hayan-yi, who relaxed her expression a little and was enjoying dinner.
'Shiba.'
Meanwhile, Kim Hyun-seong continues to drink strong alcohol. After meal time...
"He should at least go to sleep."
"?"
"The staff said they would bring an extra bed. Ah... yes. No... no matter what... uh, how... Jeong Hayan, today...."
"still...."
Until the little commotion passes before going to bed.
That bastard kept gulping down hard liquor.
At that point I couldn't help but wonder if he was drinking too much.
Even when he woke up feeling like his whole body was being crushed, like he was being held down by scissors.
That bastard kept gulping down hard liquor.
"What time is it now?"
He still drinking?
[Kiyoung... are you sleeping?]
A text message even came a few hours ago. I couldn't help but frown at the loud voice I soon heard.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Kiyoung... are you sleeping?"
"..."
" Kiyoung! Are you sleeping? Are you?!"
"No, this bastard will become a drunkard."
It was at that moment that Jeong Ha-yan, who had been snoring until just now, woke up.
"profit!"
" Kiyoung! There is something I want to say... What I want to say is..."
"I... I'm going out!"
"Hayan, I'm really sorry for being late at night. Wait a minute... Kiyoung... there's something I want to tell him..."
"W-what kind of obscenity is this! Smells like alcohol, alcohol, alcohol! Ugh. Oppa, is sleeping!"
"K, Ki-young... Ki-young... just a moment... It's just a moment."
'Ah, this bastard is Eva, the dog with alcohol issues.'
