Chapter 313: Jung Hayan’s Instruction Manual (7)

‘Sh*t…’

It was no wonder that my head went blank instantly.

‘It’s ruined.’

It was obvious as to why Han So-ra kept shouting for me to save her.

“This… I mean… please…”

Han So-ra, trembling like an aspen tree, looked not only pitiful but pathetic. In a way, she even looked tragic.

‘Why of all timings…’

Whatever the reason, it was obvious what the situation would look like now.

The fact that Han Sora, who had taken off her top, and I were together was not a good picture for Jung Hayan.

I would have to explain that there was a misunderstanding, but I didn’t think she would accept it.

‘What a time to appear.’

I wonder why she appeared at this timing.

She was obviously expecting me to visit Han Sora.

It was clear that she moved quickly, anxious that she would be caught, too. Of course, the picture she saw now would be more shocking than what Jung Hayan expected.

If I were to think about it in common sense, it made no sense for Han Sora and me to enjoy secret meetings at this time, but I wouldn’t have suffered this much if she had the common sense to think that.

Jung Hayan’s pupils shook in an instant. I could see her biting her lips as if she was showing hostility toward Han Sora.

Of course, this should be fixed.

Thick tears filled up in her eyes. It was a spectacle to see her run to the other side in no time before I even open my mouth.

Immediately I tried to run, yelling ‘Jung Hayan,’ but I felt somebody gripping my ankle.

It was Han Sora, who was crying with a runny nose that’s sitting behind.

‘What’s up with this again?’

“Let go of me.”

“Don’t leave me alone… Please don’t leave me alone.”

“Let me go.”

“Please don’t leave me alone. Please s-save me. Please explain to her. Please tell her it wasn’t anything. Please. Please. Ahem. Please…”

“No, first, let me…”

“No. No. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Please don’t leave me alone. I’ll do whatever you ask. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me! Please… Waaahhh…”

Of course, it was not good to follow her with Han Sora.

At first, I thought it was best to leave her and go, but I couldn’t do anything because, like a cicada clinging to an old tree, she didn’t want to fall off my leg.

There was no way to get rid of this woman with my weak strength.

“You have to tell her that it was an accident. Please tell her you have no interest in me. Please… You have to tell her that you think of me as less than a stone on the side of the road. Ahem.”

“Okay. I got it.”

“Nooooooo! Don’t leave me. Please don’t leave me! I’ll explain everything about what you were asking. Please don’t leave me. Don’t leave me alone. Please… Please don’t leave me alone… Ahem. Save me… I said, save me! You son of a bitch!”

I knew very well that Han Sora was afraid of Jung Hayan, but now I could see that her condition was more severe than I thought.

It even seemed laughable to think that she had gotten better recently.

Naturally, I felt that I shouldn’t waste more time here. I kept thinking about the future that Yuno Kasugano saw.

‘The story about the fire sea in Laios.’

It bothered me very much that I don’t know the exact time. I also started to get more and more anxious as I think it may be today.

If, as Kasugano said, Jung Hayan really ruined the city…

‘I won’t be able to fix it.’

That was completely out of my reach to fix.

It was also essential to avoid continuing to drag time here. For now, I had to think that taking her with me was the top priority.

As I sighed and opened my mouth, I saw her face as if she is asking what I’m talking about.

“Let’s go, for now. Quickly. I’m going to find her right now.”

“What?”

However, at the words she heard right away, she nodded.

“If you don’t like that, stay here…”

“I’ll go! I’ll go! Of course, I have to go. Of course. Of course, I will. I’ll go with you. Y-you need to prepare quickly. Quickly…”

“Yes. We have to go quickly. Only then can this misunderstanding be resolved.”

She tried to get up in a hurry, but she cannot stand properly as if her leg suddenly gave out. She overlapped with the appearance of a newborn zebra, trying to raise its body.

I threw a jacket that could cover her upper body right away, and Han Sora was ready to go out with a trembling body.

“There will be no damage to Sora-ssi, so you can calm down. I’ll tell her it was just a misunderstanding, so you don’t have to be too anxious.”

“Yes… Yes. Okay. Yes.”

“And you have to answer in detail to the question I asked before. If you don’t like that, you can stay here alone.”

“Of… course, I have to… tell you. Yes. Of course…”

“You can follow me from a few steps away.”

“Okay. Yes. I’ll do everything. I’ll do and tell you everything you ask me. I-instead, you…”

“I’ll explain it to her.”

I spoke confidently, but I had to worry about myself first.

‘It’s not just you, Sora… it’s the same for me.’

I didn’t know where Jung Hayan went, but, naturally, I moved in a hurry.

This was because Yuno Kasugano’s words came to my mind. I didn’t know how or why Laios was ruined, but somehow I felt that I had sparked the catalyst for it.

It was all speculation that Jung Hayan’s explosion would turn it into ruins, but at least that was the only thing I could think of now.

I wanted to dash to find her, but because of Han Sora, who was running while limping, it proved to be a hard task.

There was no guarantee that the wild Jung Hayan will not attack Han Sora.

After seeing that Sora was not with me, she may appear to wrap up the event she couldn’t finish at the training center.

She wouldn’t have gone too far anyway, so it wouldn’t be bad to sort the situation while looking for her.

“Let’s talk about what happened before, Sora-ssi.”

“I don’t know e-exactly where to start with.”

“First, why did Sora suffer from magical exhaustion?”

“Because I’m the one who unleashed the magic.”

“The fact that you cannot unleash the same kind of spell before…”

“No. I simply chanted the last word and literally made it appear. I don’t know how she did it, but Jung Hayan-nim transferred the spell to me. I don’t know if the expression “transfer” would be appropriate…”

“Is that possible?”

“Because it is single-shot. Of course, even that is impossible in theory… And the magic that combined all my magic power into it is the magic you saw.”

‘Is it possible because it’s Jung Hayan?’

In other words, the enormous magical power was unleashed by borrowing Han Sora’s body for a moment.

I thought this was a twist in her magic power to make it difficult to find traces.

Perhaps, while Han Sora unleashed the spell, Jung Hayan chanted another spell, and it was certainly a spell to confuse future investigations.

The person who completed the spell was Jung Hayan, but the manifester was the Black Wizard.

I didn’t know if this was also planned, but this was why I felt the scent of black magic that Jung Hayan couldn’t use.

I felt like my curiosity had been resolved to some extent.

I felt like the puzzle was now being put together.

“Don’t you think you should’ve told me in advance?”

“I’m sorry. I’m s-sorry.”

I did not blame her. Her actions were understandable enough.

I didn’t know how the two did it together, but somehow this came up, and Han Sora couldn’t have rejected Jung Hayan’s offer.

‘Who will say she is not a Black Wizard?’

It was not only ridiculous, but embarrassing to see her sign a contract with Jung Hayan.

Of course, from Han Sora’s point of view, there was no option to refuse with the fear that she might die.

Instead, I thought that she would have assisted her with infinite affirmation on her plan.

“But she took some measures to prevent others from finding traces in various ways. It was the reason why she unleashed the magic with my body. I tried to stop her, but…”

She wouldn’t have tried to stop her. She didn’t have that much courage.

“She was under so much stress…”

“…”

“The more she thought about it, the more I felt like she was trapped in her own thoughts. She seemed to… have concluded by herself that everything went wrong… because of the people of the Republic.”

“What in the world is wrong?”

“She said that she hated to think that Vice Guild Master thinks of her as a strange woman… I told her that you were rather jealous, and she liked it very much at first, but even after that, you continued to be very busy…”

“You mean she got more anxious?”

“Yes. After that, she kept muttering only words I couldn’t understand, and eventually… she said that it seemed that you hated her, or that she doesn’t have the confidence to look at Vice Guild Master’s face… that she had to fix things. I didn’t know it meant something like this. She said she had to prove her innocence… and she asked me to join the plan… Of course, I didn’t know what she was talking about, but I just wanted to live… I didn’t want to get hurt… Sniff…”

‘Fuck…’

Whether she was filled with sorrow, she started talking nonsense.

To be honest, it felt a little bit painful to see the tears falling.

‘I think I’m the one to be blamed…’

I had momentarily pushed Jung Hayan when I saw an unwelcomed guest.

Of course, I thought I pulled her back afterward, but the problem was that, from Jung Hayan’s point of view, she didn’t feel like it was pulling.

Since the Curse Shrine incident, she was very quiet, so it was a losing move that I thought that she was being cared for this much.

Because of the quiet Jung Hayan, I also let go of the tension.

In the end, something that could explode had indeed exploded.

‘What’s with that she can’t look straight into my eyes?’

I only once warned about having conversations with guys like Jin Qing.

I couldn’t understand why that would make her a weird woman and that she had to prove her innocence, but from the pro’s point of view, he received a lifelong grudge for giving the wrong note.

‘It’s ruined.’

It felt like I was getting closer to the end.

The future that Yuno Kasugano saw continued to shimmer in front of my eyes.

‘It won’t be the ending to die together. Right? That’s correct, right?’

Perhaps she was still running around struggling to prove her innocence.

Whatever it was, it was clear that I would be in the worst situation.

As I looked out of the window, I could see the back of Jung Hayan, clenching her fists and running outside.
