The Kids I Saved Are Too Strong

9 – Queen under the moonlight-4

It feels like I’ve been wandering around the same place for three hours since I got lost in the dark. I stared at Ha-yeon, who had memorized the road while running.

“…why do you look like that, brother?”

Ha-yeon also hesitated, avoiding her eyes to see if she was stabbed.

“Didn’t you say you knew the way? Why have you been wandering the distance you covered in 5 minutes for 3 hours?”

“I know? You’re running around so you don’t catch up with those guys?”

“Is that so?”

“Look! There’s a big space over there!”

The space we walked in triumphantly was where we first started.

Ha-yeon was looking at me with a confident expression, perhaps unaware that she had returned to the starting point.

“This is where we first started.”

As I let out a deep sigh, I could feel Hayeon looking at me.

It was hard to believe that a child who had been so terrifying until just now.

‘Does it require mental care as well?’

I heard that obsession is one of the mental diseases, but I think I need to find a way to treat it slowly.

“I can’t help it, it may take a while, but let’s go out in the surest way.”

“The surest way?”

“Because there is a building that can be seen anywhere in the dark.”

Sometimes it’s hard to see on days when the air is dirty or foggy, but that’s not the case today. It’s very sunny.

“See that building over there?”

A tall building in the center of the dark district, I don’t know what kind of technology was used to make a building of that size, but it was a tall building that could be seen from anywhere in the dark district.

“Yes, it’s a stupidly large building. Really.”

“I know the way out from there, so let’s go to that building. Anyway, the arena will be held in the basement of that building, so let’s go ahead and wait with the mindset of exploring.”

“like.”

The road was twisted and twisted, but as I walked in the direction of approaching the building, I was able to come near the building in such a long time.

A huge plaza spread out around the huge building, and there were many people even during the day.

As I was about to look around for a bite to eat, someone bumped into me from behind.

“Oh, sorry.”

He was a short, thin man. The man, whose face could not be seen properly but still looked like a young boy, crept into the crowd.

“Ha Yeon-ah, should I stay still and not move?”

“Yes?”

‘How dare you steal my wallet?!’

I was able to not miss it because I had my eyes fixed on it from the moment I bumped into it.

As I followed him into the crowd, he seemed to notice my gaze and began to maneuver through the crowd.

`Look at you?`

It is not a skill that has been worked on for a day or two. Even I was tongue-in-cheek at the professional movements of a pickpocket for a living.

‘Even if you run away, you’re a petty thief.’

I pretended to have missed it for a moment, so I quickly followed him as he passed out into the alleyway.

“Why are you so persistent?!”

I followed him into a deep alley, and when he reached a dead end, he turned around.

“Ariya!! Hit it!!”

“Yes, brother!”

A fern-like fist flew from the side.

It wasn’t a fern that was surrounded by mana, but it looked like a canary, but I lightly grabbed my wrist and filled it up.

“Kyaaa!!”

“Arya!!”

These bastards make so many sitcoms, who would think I’m a villain?

“Hey kid, give me the money you stole.”

He grabbed the girl named Ari by the wrist and subdued him. Looking at the power of mana, it seemed to be about the level of an E-class Awakener, but it seemed that he was still immature and could only hold mana with both fists.

“Okay, I’ll give it to you. Instead, release our Ari.”

“I’ll believe you if you open your eyes like that, right?”

It was a familiar look. It wasn’t the look in his eyes that would listen to me. It’s a gaze that will somehow find a way.

‘It seems like you see me when you were young.’

I also lived fiercely in the past.

“Throw the money first. Free the girl later.”

“OK.”

Seeing how he was throwing it, it seemed that he had an ulterior motive. Boys don’t seem to have any special abilities, so there must be something on the girl’s side, right?

“Do you think there will be no soup if you suddenly attack?”

As soon as I released the girl, the boy shouted.

“Arya hit!”

‘I knew it would be like this.’

I prepared for the girl’s attack, but the girl didn’t move.

“Arya?”

“Brother, I don’t think I can beat this person…”

The girl approaching the boy and hugging him was like seeing the old me and Ha-yeon.

“Are you an Awakener?”

“I don’t think so…”

As I approached, the girl hid behind the boy.

As I walked, I picked up my wallet and felt the weight drop.

“Are you stealing money in the meantime? It’s really bad, you too.”

“Because if you don’t live like this, you can’t live! It seems like you’re living well, so just go as if you donated to beggars like us!”

I’m still in my mid-twenties, but I’m an old man. I was angry for no reason and knocked on a chestnut.

“Eh! Why are you hitting me?!”

“What can’t live if you can’t live?! In my time! I lived by eating dead monsters!”

“Lies! These days, even the poor in the slums don’t live like that.”

“It’s all because the times have gotten better.”

But the more I look at these guys, the more I feel like I’m watching my childhood.

“First, give me the money back.”

I got it back without missing a single penny.

“Is your younger brother an awakened person?”

“Yeah, don’t go around talking about it. It’s a secret weapon.”

“Since when have you been doing business like this?”

“Your business?”

this guy has no clue

“Since when did you pickpocket like this?”

“About a month.”

“There must have been rumors already in the dark, but will I be able to shut my mouth?”

I hit the boy on the head. It was quite addictive to see her hair bobbing every time she hit it.

“Are you siblings?”

“No, we met on the street.”

“Go to the queen under the moonlight. If you’re an E-class at that age, they’ll treat you pretty generously. Also, don’t run away and stick close to the girl.”

“Ari is an awakened person, so even if you accept it, won’t you accept me?”

“If you set the condition to accept you as well, and grow up without a family at a young age, your personality will be twisted.”

This is the advice of a senior who is experiencing it in real time, kid.

“What if I say no?”

“then….”

In an instant, the title that Wolha called me when I was young flashed through my mind.

do i have to say It’s very cheesy… .

“So what? The man recommended it, so tell me until the end!”

“Ha, the knight asked for it.”

“A knight? A man?”

“If you say so, you will know.”

Why did I say that I was a knight at this time? I thought I would just keep it as an old memory, how could I have known that I would still remember it vividly.

“Anyway, I’m going. Don’t do things like this from now on and live happily.”

It was a complicated alleyway, but it wasn’t that far, so I was able to go back to the plaza in no time.

‘Where does he want to be?’

Thinking that he was not a child, he would not have lost his way, so he walked slowly and looked around, and saw a group of people gathered near the center of the plaza.

There seemed to be an interesting spectacle, but thinking that Ha-yeon might be among the crowd, she broke through the crowd.

“I’ll pass.”

As a result, I did find Ha-yeon. It’s not the crowd watching, it’s the object being watched that’s the problem.

‘Why are you there?’

If you look closely, it seems that there is an argument to be made that a sharp-looking woman is glaring at Ha-yeon from the other side.

A fight like this isn’t unusual in the underworld, so why are there so many people here?

“Hey, who are you hanging out with?”

“It’s a fight between Yeji, the captain of the queen’s bodyguard under the moonlight, and the guy who dared to refuse to come under the queen’s command under the moonlight.”

There is no such thing as a very troubled person to have an accident like this even though I just took my eyes off it for a while.

“It’s a big match in a while, so everyone is looking forward to it. Yeji-nim will win, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen a high-level fight.”

Certainly, Yeji was not a normal woman. I felt that I was strong just looking at the slim and strong muscles. It seemed like he wasn’t an Awakener, but considering Wolha’s ability, there wouldn’t be much of a problem with him being a non-Awakener.

As I was staring at the woman named Yeji, I felt a chill go down my spine. Startled, I looked around and saw Ha-yeon glaring at me. Even though I couldn’t see well because of the robe, it felt like golden eyes were piercing me.

“Then, since I’ve explained everything, I’ll go tomorrow.”

“Oh wait.”

You can’t miss this great opportunity.

“Two million won to Rob over there.”

“Are you crazy about your reverse role? Looking at your appearance, you don’t seem to be from this district, but Yeji-nim is really strong.”

“Okay, two million won to Rob.”

Ha-yeon will definitely win anyway, so no matter how many times she walks, it won’t be a problem.

“By the way, do you have any cash?”

“… I’ll only bet 300,000 won.”

It’s a situation where money is copied, but I can’t do this.

I don’t spend a lot of money, but when I think about the 20,000 won worth of Taiyaki today, I realized that there is nothing wrong with piling up money. At least it’s always better to have than not to have

‘Come to think of it, should I cancel the contract I signed for the house?’

I think Ha-yeon’s personality will suggest that we continue to live together.

-thud!!

While I was thinking about other things, I heard a loud noise as if the fight had started in earnest.

‘Win Hayeon Baek!!’

I thought that the brother and sister were the same as the brother and sister, not worrying even if they seemed to be in danger.
