chapter 11
11 – No need for change
Cudang Tang Tang—! Shin Hye-young jumped up in surprise at the sound of something heavy rolling around. She has a headache because of a hangover.
She cradled her head and quietly approached the spot where the lab chair was knocked over. Then, beyond her blurred vision, she saw a familiar figure.
Lee Jin-woo, her face white, was spread out on the floor like her corpse. Shin Hye-young muttered with a grave expression.
“…… It seems that the mission is already over.”
Well, I slept a little longer…….
Shin Hye-young scratched her head and looked at Lee Jin-woo’s condition.
Her Mystic Eye saw through to the fact that her overall stats rose as well as he suffered from her magical exhaustion.
I can’t see everything because it’s a demonic eye that hasn’t been completed yet, but judging by the rate of increase, it’s probably first place, or close to that.
Then the grade would have gone up… , She muttered quietly with a bitter expression.
Rigid body.
Lightweight.
A red light appeared on Shin Hye-young’s body, and a blue light appeared on Lee Jin-woo’s body.
She leaned over slightly, feeling more strength go into her body.
Then, he lifted Lee Jin-woo up in the princess hug position.
It was a rare scene of a slender woman lifting a 180cm tall body.
She walked over and put Lee Jin-woo down on the sofa where she had just been lying. Then, she always took out a magical potion from her magic pouch and poured it into his mouth.
Then Lee Jin-woo’s face, which had been white, was a bit, but his complexion returned.
It was the moment when Shin Hye-young, who took her sigh, went to her night job room and wondered if she would close her eyes.
Deud deed— Urgent footsteps were heard in the hallway.
She turned her head toward him, puzzled by him.
“…… What? Did a magic accident happen?”
The current time is 6 am.
Those who will remain in the Magic Tower are office workers who work overtime or wizards who are crazy about research.
As far as she knew, neither of them were great people who could run happily down the aisle.
Kiki ─ Shin Hye-young poked her head out of her door. I see magicians in robes and office workers in white research uniforms all running.
…… Why?
While I was dazed like that, Irene, the team leader of the Support Headquarters, caught my eye. Shin Hye-young whispered just enough for her to hear.
“Hey…… , Mr. Irene?”
“…… Yes? What. It’s Hyeyoung. Haven’t you been off work yet?”
Irene stopped her steps to see if there was an urgent matter. Maybe it’s because he has a high rank, so he’s late. She was a laid-back person.
Still, Shin Hye-young was in a different department, but she was on the side of admiring her for her ability and popularity, so she answered shyly.
“Yes, I am in charge of a new recruit…….”
“Ah, it is a lot of trouble. You must be busy with a lot of work.”
“Ah, no. But what happened? Everyone seems to be running somewhere in a hurry.”
Ah, Irene answered while twisting her own red hair.
“The mage who entered the high-level dungeon this time has returned. Rumors spread that I brought a rather rare monster part, so everyone is running.”
“Ah, somehow. You all ran away Then, what grade is that high-level dungeon? Enemy? Black? Then that wizard must be a great person too, right?”
“You don’t know the name, too, since it hasn’t been that long since you entered the Mage Tower?”
Irene was worried while touching her chin. What expression should she give to the returning wizard……. She said clearly with a thumbs up at the end of her long thought.
“Just full power.”
“…… hehehe.”
Shin Hye-young only vaguely thought that she was great, and smiled brightly. Maybe it’s because of her alcohol energy. She seemed to be laughing a little.
She said hehehe, and since her curiosity was solved, she thought that she should let YRIEN go, but she heard the sound of distinct footsteps.
Shin Hye-young turned her head.
A black-haired, cold, hard-faced beauty was walking straight toward him.

“Premium Gold or Mild?”
“Ah, that… ….”
“Is it just mild?”
“Ah, yes yes…. I will eat whatever you give me.”
In the kitchen, Yuhanna sat down on a chair at a computer desk far away and bowed her head servilely. I poured water into a paper cup and pondered over the treatment of the guy.
It is definitely auspicious that a friend who rode the burrow for over 15 days has returned. The desire to embrace him and make him laugh is like a chimney, but on the other hand, I have promised to put a fire punch into the thrush tens of thousands of times.
If it goes on like this, a man’s promise. The anger and betrayal I felt for 15 days would make me shed tears.
I showed Yuhanna her kind smile and made her the last coffee in her life. Well, even if you go, it’s okay to have a cup of coffee, right? She saw my smile and for some reason her body trembled.
I sipped my coffee, handed Yuhanna her coffee, and sat down on the bed. And, he glared at her. Yuhanna avoided my gaze, rolling her eyes with her embarrassed expression.
Hopefully you linger for a few minutes.
As if she had made up her mind, she opened her mouth with a smile.
“Jinwu! You said you became a wizard?! Congratulations so much! Oh! And I’m a wizard too! A senior who awakened much earlier than you… ,”
“… ….”
“Ah… , that… , what…. I was very late because I was clearing a very difficult dungeon…… ! I am really sorry for diving without contact and I am reflecting on it!”
“Yes. I’m glad to see you know my sins. If so, you must be prepared to pay the penalty.”
I jumped up with my fists clenched. Then, he strode up to Yuhanna and hit her chestnut-sized head.
Oops! She grabbed her hair and burst into tears. I wondered if I had hit him too hard, but even that thought briefly reminded me of the 15 days of hardships, and my anger subtly flared up.
“Hey, so when will you pay me back? No, they say it will pay off soon, son. No, and you didn’t give away my number, did you? Then I will really kill you….”
“Oh, wait! Stop the violence! …… Will you send me the money right away? Wait?”
After saying that, Yuhanna quickly took out her cell phone and started operating it.
T-ring—! I heard a notification sound on my phone that I had thrown on the side of the bed.
I picked it up with the intention of seeing it somewhere and immediately checked it.
[ Yuhanna ]
[ 50, 000, 000 Won ]
“…… What is this?”
For a moment, I doubted my eyes.
The amount of digits you see for the first time in your life. It feels completely different from rolling hundreds of millions of dollars in mock stocks.
I stared at it and suddenly turned my head. Yuhanna had her arms crossed and had a rather elated expression on her face. She said with a grin.
“I don’t need change. What is it. Do you think you paid interest on the rest and use it well?”
“Crazy b*tch. I borrowed 500,000 won and paid it back with some kind of bitcoin.”
“Yes, do I have a lot of money? So, can I give it back or not think about that?”
Is this the power of capital?
In an instant, our relationship, where I was the dominant one, balances out in an instant.
I scratched my head and inhaled my coffee without thinking.
Ah, it has become lukewarm before I know it.
“f*ck, why did you borrow money when you had so much money? I don’t know if you know my heart that almost jumped up and down.”
“…… No, that didn’t run in the end-“
“I mean empathize. This child So why did you borrow it?”
“No, I borrowed some because of my abilities. That, it’s an ability that gets stronger when there are restrictions.”
The expression of a childhood friend who is somewhat reluctant to speak. Well, it seems there are several circumstances.
Certainly, there are restrictions such as not being able to tell the general public about the system or magic, so they couldn’t tell me either.
Umm, will you forgive me soon?
As I showed signs of loosening up, Yuhanna’s face gradually brightened.
She seems to be slowly creeping up with regret, wondering if she should have been a little more concerned.
Yuan-na, who was smiling lightly, suddenly pointed at me and asked.
“Oh, that’s right. I heard you had a very pretty kid as your shooter? Is your personality okay?”
“What, where else did you hear that?”
“Ahem, I have rather wide feet. But you’re not denying it?”
“Well, it seems pretty and nice, right?”
“Hmm…… , I see?”
Yuhanna kept her mouth shut for a moment, and then she quickly smiled brightly and brought out the tension of her friend.
I also put down my anger and feelings of betrayal and had a comfortable conversation with her after a long time.
While chatting like that, it was a bonus that Yuhanna confessed that she gave away my number for her sake, and I got hit by her a few more nights. With her tears stinging, she vowed that she would work it out somehow.
Aside from that, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable talking time with friends.
“I need to get up soon.”
“What, why? Aren’t you going to eat?”
“Since I’ve been away for 15 days, I have to take care of myself. Some of your contacts, some of you borrowed money, and many other things.”
She smiles as always. But she looks strangely weak. She was worried about such a guy and tried to walk away, but she said she was fine and was stopped. It’s enough to see you off at the front door.
Yuhanna waved her hand with a smile on her face.
I shook my face.
I didn’t say we’d see each other again soon.
I didn’t have to make an appointment like that, but when I was bored, I met and hung out right away.
Kwaang—! The door is closed.
