chapter 6
6 – Queen-1 under the moonlight
How long have you been stroking it like that? It wasn’t that Ha-yeon was that heavy, but after sitting for a long time, her legs began to stiffen.
“Ha Yeon-ah? Oppa, your legs are starting to hurt…”
“So what?”
Ha Yeon-yi replied calmly. It sounded like he didn’t care about my leg pain.
“Your brother is being punished! Have a little more guilt.”
“Yes, I’m sorry brother.”
As I was stroking my hair, I felt relieved. Does it feel like your heart, which has always been empty, is full?
“But what am I supposed to do in the guard?”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? It’s something the Awoken can’t do.”
“No, where is that?”
“Yes. You have to start working tomorrow.”
huh? From tomorrow?
“What’s going on?”
“It’s undercover.”
“Infiltrate? Where?”
When I heard that I was working from tomorrow, my hands slowed down, and a call came right away.
“Uh-huh! Keep petting.”

No, I’m trying to put a weak non-awakened person into a dangerous job that even the infiltrator doesn’t know, but it’s important how to pet him… .
-Go oh oh
Cancer, it’s not important, it’s absolutely not because I was scared by Ha-yeon’s eyes. I’m currently being punished, so I have to work hard.
“I’m going to infiltrate Area 13.”
“Area 13?”
What is District 13? Did our city have anything like that?
“Oh, brother, don’t you know? The map…”
At the end of Hayeon’s gaze, there was a luxurious desk that seemed to be used for office work, but apparently there was a map in the drawer of that desk.
“You don’t really need to know now, do you?”
“Can’t you tell me now?”
Ha-yeon’s expression turned into a cry. It’ll take less than 30 seconds to get the map, don’t you want to fall like that?
It’s been 15 years since we met, so you probably don’t want to leave.
“… say it one more time.”
“yes?”
“Quickly!!”
Seeing Ha-yeon screaming in a hurry, she put her mouth close to her ear and spoke in a whisper.
“Can’t you tell me now?”
“Kyaah, it’s so good to brother.”
The kid has become a total spoiler.
I got up and walked towards the map, fussing as if I had been drinking.
‘I don’t know if I’m going to fall like that.’
Fortunately, Ha-yeon brought the map intact and unfolded it.
The map showed the entire city, with numbers attached to the districts in a spiral centered in the center of the city, divided into sub-districts in the east, west, south, and north, and each building had a number attached.
Taking our gunsmith as an example, Building No. 15 in District 1, District 19, all buildings were numbered like this.
“It’s a map used by the guards. It divides every building and every district in the city.”
“Did you say you were going to infiltrate Area 13?”
District 13 on the map was very familiar. Right next to District 14 was the slum where I lived, and the part divided into District 13 was a place called the dark district of this city.
‘Ah, you don’t live in the slums anymore?’
“Do you know where it is?”
“Yeah, it’s a dark place. A place where older brothers who work hard go around.”
In addition to the gangsters who dare to work hard, it is a place where most of the people who play with money in the red light district are gathered.
The darkest place in the city, the place that has all the darkness in the city. Perhaps the most unnecessary place in the city, but I think the existence of the dark side is a great benefit to this city. Right now, even in the next city, there are a lot of crimes on the streets, and there are wars between organizations, but there is no such thing in our city.
“Yes, and it’s also ruled by a woman called the Queen under the Moonlight.”
People called her the Queen under the Moonlight, meaning the queen under the moonlight, the woman who practically controls the underworld of the city, and the head of the underworld in the city ruled by the sun guild.
‘Actually, it’s just because her name is Wol-Ha.’
Within the underworld, she is called the Queen and reigns over all organizations. It can be said that the fact that people of the underworld do not harm ordinary people is due to her influence.
Hayeon made a sad face.
“Surely this city is owned by the Sun Guild, but that bitch reigns as king in this district?”
The voice went up. Apparently, the new guard captain was very annoyed by the existence of the queen under the moonlight. Well, from the point of view of the head of the guard, Ha-yeon’s thoughts were not incomprehensible, since he would not be able to take a good look at the huge underworld located in a corner of the city.
“So? What does that have to do with infiltration?”
“It means you have to tell the subject.”
Ha-yeon’s eyes widened.
“I know. Because she is there, the underworld is controlled, and I know that it is of great benefit to our city. That’s why the guild leader must have asked us not to kill her.”
He unconsciously stroked his hair in his blazing eyes.
“Just calm down for a moment.”
“Ah…. Anyway, even if I don’t kill you, I’m going to step on you and come back. You have to make them realize where they are.”
Your personality has become very rough, Ha Yeon-ah. My brother is happy that you have grown up well.
“But why do you need me?”
“They say there’s a party hosted by that bitch in a week.”
“Perhaps open almost every year?”
It’s a pretty famous story in the slums. The ruler of the underworld gathers his closest aides every year and holds a party, so it is impossible not to know.
“I’m going to trample her down at that party.”
“No, so why do you need me?”
“Yeah, to get into that party, you have to be her closest friend, aren’t we?”
“But can’t you just go in and step on it confidently?”
Ha-yeon looked at me like she was cute.
no, why are you looking at me like that?
“Then rumors spread, right? The queen under the moonlight was brutally trampled on by the captain of the guards. It’s true, but the underworld’s support for her might drop. That’s not going to work, so she’s going in legitimately and secretly stepping on her.”
“But you said you couldn’t get in?”
“It is said that she is holding an arena from tomorrow night. It is an event to select the most powerful person without awakening ability, and the winner and runner-up can enter the party hosted by that bitch and even be alone.”
It’s a famous story. Everyone in the city, not just the slums, knew that they were holding a tournament called the Arena to thank the non-Awakened who had saved them when they were young.
`It seems to me that he just has a bad taste in watching the weak fight hard.”
“So? I want you to join the arena?”
“Yes.”
Hayeon’s eyes were very calm. It’s hard to believe the look on his face sending his brother to a dangerous battlefield where he could lose his life.
“Is it dangerous that I could die?”
“No. It’s not dangerous.”
It was a voice that contained absolute trust in me.
“Because you are the strongest person I know. It is absolutely impossible for a brother like that to die.”
I’m not that strong
“And I’m going to participate hiding my abilities. If it’s really dangerous, I’ll help you. I’ll probably be in a position to get help.”
“S-class kid is so cruel…”
“Compared to my older brother, I’m just lacking.”
What kind of image is I in Ha-yeon’s memory?
“Well, it’s something I have to do tomorrow anyway, so keep stroking my hair for now. Should I continue to be punished?”
“Okay, I got it.”
He continued stroking Ha-yeon’s hair. As if Ha-yeon’s words of punishment were not empty words, it took 5 hours before I could stop stroking Ha-yeon’s hair.
“Today, go to my house, eat together, and sleep together!”
“Can’t we sleep in the guest room or something?”
It was only when we were young that we slept in our own room, leaning on each other to fall asleep, but sleeping with a younger sister who has grown up is a bit burdensome.
“Yes?”
Hayeon tilted her head and looked at me with scary eyes.
“No!! Let’s sleep together!!”
Yes, my sister has been sleeping with me for the first time in a while, but I can’t do that.
I’ll say it again, but it’s not because I’m scared.
“By the way, can I not go to work today? You’ve been sitting for five hours, haven’t you?”
“All the kids below do the work on their own. I only do things that require strength, and that requires an S-class Awakener.”
“You have a job eating raw?”
“You’ve done well without me until now, so right now there’s nothing I should do. Once I get used to it, there will be a lot of work. Until then, I’ll have to act independently like this and enjoy my leisure time.”
All grown up All grown up I stroked my hair once with a proud heart.
“hehehehe, shall we go home now? I want to eat my brother’s food after a long time!”
“Do you even get paid to cook?”
“Absolutely!”
I left the main guard building and headed for Ha-yeon’s house. It was a house in the very center of the city, in the middle of District 1, if you look at the map of the guards, befitting the position of chief of the guard.
Looking through the refrigerator, it was full of high-end ingredients. There was animal meat, not monster meat, and vegetables that were said to be hard to find were also filled in the vegetable compartment.
“Okay, shall we show off our skills after a long time?”
To be honest, I didn’t have the confidence to cook well. All I did was cook the meat with fragrant plants.
But it’s a request from my one and only younger brother, so I can’t take it out just because I can’t do it.
I tried my best to grill the meat. I’m not good at cooking, but I could tell if it was delicious or not, so I adjusted it and baked it until it was delicious.
“it is delicious!”
I didn’t know if it was really delicious or if my brother said it was delicious, but Ha-yeon’s smile had the power to fill my heart.
‘Yes, if you like it, it’s good.’
That’s it.
