‘Siblings are siblings in the end’
“Sister?” While Chi-Woo snickered inside his mind, Yohan called out to Eshnunna in a daze
Swish
The fluttering skirt quickly disappeared However, she was already caught After a couple of seconds, the door slowly opened Eshnunna carefully walked up to the to tell you…”
Eshnunna and Yohan’s eyes azes spoke volu exchanged between Eshnunna and Yohan The reconciliation was a long ti
“Would you like some snacks?” asked Chi-Woo
Yohan’s eyes widened in surprise But he caught on quickly and ht smile “You told me you didn’t have any left to offer”
“But there’s probably lanced at Eshnunna, as blinking in a daze “Even though I told her to eat it secretly by herself, she didn’t do it I wonder who she has been saving the snack for?”
Yohan’s smile deepened at Chi-Woo’s nonchalant words “Thank you!” He politely bowed and ily e away
‘He’s smart’ Chi-Woo made a pleased s away froood if Eshnunna and Yohan reconciled However, Yohan should mend his relationshi+p with his sister on his own rather than relying on Chi-Woo’s help When Eshnunna went back to her roo her conversation with Chi-Woo, Yohan would probably be waiting for her If the two of the snacks together, their relationshi+p would becoer than before Chi-Woo had no doubt about that
That was until he heard Eshnunna murmur to herself, “But I finished all the snack…”
“What? When?”
“A few days ago I went back to ht there, so…” She h there was no reason for her to be
“Why did you…”
“What’s wrong about that?”
“If you were going to eat it, you should have done so earlier Now, I have to take backme to eat it before…” Eshnunna narrowed her eyes and pouted Chi-Woo didn’t have a cohed and took out another snack fro
Eshnunna stared at it and asked, “Do you have ive away one from ‘Chi-Hyun will be able to enjoy as h’ Moreover, Chi-Woo had also taken a couple of snacks out and eaten thery, but that was a secret he would take to his grave
“…Thank you”
‘What for? For saving her? For giving her the snacks? Or…’ Chi-Woo looked at Eshnunna and laughed at her aard coughs and furtive glances
She looked up at hi?”
“Just because”
“Please don’t laugh”
“Why?”
“Because it seeed when Eshnunna’s expression turned serious He waited for her to change the topic while laughing even louder than before on purpose
“I wanted to tell you…seriously!”
“Ah, I got it I’ll stop I’ll stop”
Eshnunna glared at Chi-Woo for laughing nonstop Only then did she go on to give hie There was a hero anted to meet him When he asked her who it was, she said it was the leader of the fifth recruits
“Why does he want to et the details But he toldcomrades you can trust with you”
Comrades he could trust…Chi-Woo wasn’t sure he could fully trust theht now?”
“Not right now It’s…” Eshnunnato finish a sentence, he fell into a coma”
Chi-Woo was taken aback, but then he realized how serious the hero’s condition was It was pointless to even ask how theyou this just in case If he gains consciousness by some miracle, I’ll let you know immediately”
Chi-Woo did not knohy the hero wanted to meet him, but he was the leader of the fifth recruits; there would be no haro as soon as you tell me” Chi-Woo nodded
After the conversation, Chi-Woo kept on waiting, but the hero’s condition continued to worsen The next dawn, thethree days, he had been struggling in a precarious state When they were finally going to give up, thinking that there was no hope for the ained consciousness Chi-Woo immediately went to meet hi on the bed—with neither eyes nor any of his li in an old bed, and he lifted his head slightly when he heard their footsteps
“…Is everyone here?” he asked in a raspy voice as soon as Chi-Woo and the others arrived
Zelit glanced at Chi-Woo for a brief moment When Chi-Woo nodded, Zelit turned back to the leader of the fifth recruits and said, “Are you able to talk?”
“Don’t worry I know ht to the point” The hero came into Chi-Woo’s focus If Chi-Woo were in the man’s shoes, recovery would be his top priority, and he would do anything necessary to survive However, the hero didn’t seem to care about his condition at all, and he spoke like worrying about his health was a waste of their tione through a sudden change Would you be able to tell me what happened?”
Zelit answered faithfully while the hero steadied his breathing; he had beco only a feords
“Is that so…So about the seventh recruitsour current situation around” He came to the same conclusion as Zelit without much trouble
Zelit replied, “I believe so Even though the prophecy is not absolute, that would be the aze snapped to Chi-Woo
Zelit continued, “I don’t think that’s the thing you called us here to talk about What is it that you want to say?”
The hero fell into silence An inescapable sense of drowsiness washed over him; he was absolutely certain that if he closed his eyes this tiain
“…I think it’ll be better to give you my conclusion first” After a pause, he said, “Be prepared to fight or run away I’ll recorew heavy
“What do youthat the broken ones will co?”
“Those beings…I won’t coard that possibility, but I’ll say it’s unlikely” The hero shook his head after a brief s have been defeated, the dareat”
“Then what are you talking about? The cursed ones?”
“It’s the saan to overtake everyone If neither the broken ones nor the cursed ones were the proble to tell you is…”
Everyone’s eyes opened wide at his folloords
