Chapter 142 A Shard Within (4)
While I was tired of seeing water, the lake reflecting the snowy mountaintops was beautiful. What I was seeing was a picturesque sight.
“Swiss? Were you really abroad?”
“I had been traveling.”
“You were living an easy life.”
“It was too boring to stay in one place.”
I could not take out even one of Hyunjae Sung’s mories, and actually, I could not move anymore. I felt that it would be too dangerous to overdo myself here. My mana had already been emptied, but there were other harmful factors.
‘I thought I would be all right since I was fine at that Diarma incident.’
However, Diarma had been using the skill and not at the ti, and I had only talked when facing Irin. I should have considered these cases, but I had been too excited at the thought of fighting as an equal to Hyunjae Sung.
However, since I got sothing out of this, I should use it as much as possible.
“Won’t you tell before you go out?”
“What?”
“What you’re hiding.”
“Like what? I have a lot of things I’m hiding from you.”
“The truth rather than the boring answer that you can see the future.”
I knew that Hyunjae Sung must have noticed after I used double the stats of an S class and the black blood flas. People could use the powers they had experienced before here, and the ones I used did not exist in the present.
While I had told Hyunjae Sung that he might be able to see the future, but also having the sa ability was strange. However...
“I do not have any reason to tell you.”
“I won’t rember anything.”
Hyunjae Sung’s voice was soft like he was trying to comfort . While I was younger than him by more than a decade, he seed to think of as even more younger than that.
“I can’t trust you when you speak like that. You might be deceiving .”
“If I could get out of here with my mories intact, I would not have left you alone. I would be dissecting you.”
That was understandable and made think I should never cast a ntal skill on Hyunjae Sung again. I thought it would be an easy win, but I was wrong. If sothing went wrong, my mories would have been ripped out from .
“Think of as your teddy bear. You shouldn’t keep so much to yourself.”
“You act like you’re a kind person. I might cry at your warm words.”
“I’m always nice.”
“Have you already forgotten what happened last night? Should I give you knitting things to prevent dentia?”
“I appreciate you are trying to celebrate my birthday, but I want sothing already completed.”
I should knit him a hot pink muffler about five ters long. Hyunjae Sung waited without urging on. I was attracted to the idea that the person I would talk to would not rember anything. He would respond well if I spoke about what I was hiding, and it might lead to a fruitful discussion about the future.
‘The depraved told I should not talk about the return, but it wouldn’t matter if he could not rember anything.’
I looked up at Hyunjae Sung as I sat on a boulder.
“It’s not much.”
He would not rember and would probably force to speak if I remained silent to the end. It would be better to speak up first.
“I returned from five years into the future by using an item.”
“All right.”
Hyunjae Sung spoke like he had heard sothing trivial that happened once every month. The lump in my throat loosened at his tone, and I spoke as if nothing was wrong.
“Don’t you have any questions like whether the Sesung Guild Leader is alive or dead? I’ll tell you a couple of things out of goodwill.”
A cloud of light that moved delicately according to its owner’s will appeared from his fingertips at my words.
“It’s about five years’ worth.”
Was he talking about his skill experience? That he would be living after five years?
“You seed to be alive but missing.”
“That’s odd.”
“You were suspected of murdering Departnt Head Taewon Song before you disappeared.”
Hyunjae Sung tilted his head as I asked, my eyes wondering if the suspicion was correct.
“I cannot think of a reason I would do such a thing right now.”
“Perhaps he was in the way of organizing the Hunter Association?”
“It’s boring without an audience. Moreover, the association is too small to compensate.”
Too small? However, an S class hunter would be missed since they were not rocks rolling on the ground. Hyunjae Sung seed to value human resources on his terms as he kept MKC and Sudam Guild Leaders alive. Well, I might have to remove the word human since he did not treat them as such.
“However, you two would not have been strangers since you have that loot skill.”
Taewon Song would not have handed in his primary skill when he was alive and well. I did not know how he gave it to Hyunjae Sung, while I could make a vague guess.
“How about asking the person in question why he would give his skill before dying?”
“I feel like he would strangle again.”
Taewon Song would look at if I were crazy. I might ask him because I was curious about how he would actually react.
“And...let’s go out if you don’t have any questions. You wouldn’t rember it anyway.”
“How about you?”
“Ah, I had lived like I am now, so I have nothing to say.”
Hyunjae Sung would think of my life story as trivial. He opened his mouth as I stood up from the boulder.
“I congratulate you on repairing your relationship with your younger brother.”
I felt faint for a minute, so I did not know what I had felt at his words. The ensuing silence might have been either long or short.
“...Your mories?”
“I don’t rember anything.”
“Then, are you really trying to beco a fortune-teller?”
“When soone cos back to the past, he or she would act on their deepest desires. That desire would be sothing that the individual had regretted the most in the future. Based on my current state, you returned about two months ago, and that was when you beca closer to your younger brother.”
