It was midnight, and YuSung, seated in his chair, stared out over the moonlit ocean.
Swoosh!
Rain poured down as if it were about to subrge the island.
Plaf!
The waves broke over sothing in the distance.
The sound of the falling rain reminded YuSung of his past.
'Many things have changed'
That wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
YuSung wasn't tied to mories of the past, and it was true that he was glad that he was able to leave the Shin-oh family.
Because he was abandoned by the Shin-oh family that only cared about strength, he was able to et many good people.
Yu WonHak had taken him in after he had been abandoned at a young age, and YuSung was able to make new friends because hed been raised properly.
"Ah, YuSung" Sumire mumbled as she ca out and saw him, "I thought you were sleeping"
She sat in front of YuSung and smiled. As YuSung smiled back at her, she looked out into the rain and spoke.
"It's raining a lot."
"Yes, I'm glad it's raining now. They say it won't rain tomorrow while we're outside."
Although he carried a heavier atmosphere than usual, Shin YuSung still talked about the next days expedition.
'As expected, YuSung'
Although YuSung always tried to support them, he never shared his worries with the other party mbers.
Sumire wanted to know more about YuSung, especially on days like that where he stared silently into the rain.
She wanted to know what YuSung was thinking about and what worried him.
She'd learned from him that being close to soone could bring comfort and strengthen you.
'YuSung was the one who taught that'
Sumire felt that it was unfair that she couldn't be of help to him, but she thought that it was too selfish for her to think sothing like that at the mont, so she tried to put those emotions aside.
"YuSung" Sumire said his na as if she were possessed.
"What, Sumire?"
As YuSung turned his head from the window and looked at her, Sumire's heart began beating faster. "What? N-no. It's just that"
Sumire ended up stuttering and then gave her usual, nervous smile.
"I I wanted to tell you that I'm thankful."
She wanted to get closer and talk about deeper things, but she ended up burying such wishes.
"I'm also thankful."
Seeing him smiling back at her, Sumire thought, 'I'm okay with this for the mont.'

The sunlight shone through the window, and EunAh woke up as she ssed with her hair.
"Yawn" Yawning, she walked out to the living room.
The lodging was too silent.
"Guys?"
She rubbed her eyes and looked around the lodging, but she couldnt see Sumire or YuSung anywhere.
The only thing she could see was an omurice covered with a wrap.
[Please, eat breakfast!]
[By Sumire, who appreciates Miss EunAh more than anyone ]
"Where did they go? Why didn't they take ?"
Although she complained a bit, Kim EunAh ate all the omurice that Sumire had prepared.
* * * *
Tap, tap!
Sumire patted her nervous cheeks; then she checked the information on her Pocket.
[Boss Na: Racule of the Black Cape]
[ Warning: Its Trait is too strong, so I should check it out beforehand and be careful! I could suffer a great loss ()]
[Trait: Blessing of the Abandoned Princess]
[Effect: Every 24 hours, a buff or a debuff will be applied on Racule alternately. So of the buffs can double its mana and physical capability. Among the debuffs, there's one that reduces its fighting capability by 50%. A 4x difference! ( ` ) /]
It was the only undead dungeon on the Five Islands.
The boss of the abandoned castle was Racule of the Black Cape. Besides the ti they collaborated with Japan, Sumire hadn't faced a rank 5 boss before.
Not only that, but she would be facing him alone for training.
YuSung wasn't going to participate. Rather, he would just watch from a distance.
"If I think you're having a hard ti, I'll enter the fight."
Sumire nodded at Shin YuSung's words.
"Yes! Leave it to !"
Although the opponent was a rank 5 boss, Sumire wasn't worried. Not only that, but she was telling herself that she could win.
'Racule has received the debuff, and this is an undead dungeon. This situation is in my favor. I can do it.'
Thinking that, Sumire looked at YuSung's face; then she opened the door.
Creak!!
The rusty door opened.
Black Knight Racule knelt before an abandoned throne.
"Who is it That has awoken from my dream?"
He was an unlucky knight who had turned undead and road for eternity from the guilt of having not been able to protect his princessa rank 5 boss.
Sumire felt chills run down her spine at Racules killing intent, but she glared at him and placed her hand on her hairpin.
At the sa ti, the world stopped.
A black cloud covered Sumire's sight before fading away.
- Long ti no see.
The abandoned castle had turned into Laplace's castle.
- To think that the opponent is a rank 5 boss You've grown quite a lot.
Laplace, who had appeared suddenly, smiled seductively.
"Yes? N-no! This Is all thanks to the strength you lent , Ms. Laplace."
Sumire quickly shook her hands and tried to act humble.
- Fufu, my child. Our resonance is your talent, and having t is your luck.
Laplace smiled at Sumire in satisfaction, but that only lasted a short while before she sighed.
- But you're also having quite a hard ti. To think you'd have soone as dense as him in your heart. We're also similar in that sense
Sumire realized a bit late who Laplace was talking about.
"What?! N-no! How could soone like It it's nothing like that! I just really want to be of help!"
Laplace smiled mischievously at Sumire getting flustered and covered her mouth.
- Really? Fufu. Let's leave it like that, then. After all, what happens is none of my concern.
Laplace made Sumire sit on her throne.
- It's been a while since we last t, but let's leave the conversation here. My child Use my strength as much as you want.
* * * *
WHOOM-
An ominous black energy surrounded the castle and slowly dissipated.
Sumire slowly appeared on her throne.
Racule raised his sword and shouted, "Mortal! With your death I will honor the princess with your death!"
Sumire just gave him a sultry smile.
Swoosh-
She crossed her legs and looked down at Racule. Sumire had unlocked her strength through Laplaces throne, and the undead knelt at the appearance of the true queen.
"Worship our master"
Lilith felt a thrill as Laplaces strength beca visible.
"For the mas ter I'll win this war."
Kneeling before her, the death knight also praised Sumire.
Side- tap, tap.
Sumire got up from the throne and slowly walked down. Ghouls appeared from the ground and began to cry out loud, and the skeletons clacked their jaws.
They were all happy at the queen coming down, but the queen's order was short and concise.
"Everyone Attack!"
Sumire raised her index finger and pointed to Racule. As if the army of the undead had been waiting for her orders, they rushed toward Racule in a wave.
