Chapter 62

“What, what kind of nonsense is that? Huh? Did I hear you wrong?”

“No. You heard me right. Agael Manager. I told you not to talk nonsense.”

“Heh. This is really. Reeeally interesting. What a funny thing to say, junior.”

Agael seemed quite flustered, as if she didn’t expect to be confronted in front of him.

But I had no intention of retracting or apologizing for what I said.

After all, Agael deserved to be cursed even if she was full.

“Are you aware that this is a delusion?”

“Who is the one who disposed of someone else’s property as they pleased? Is that how the Pentagram department works?”

“...”

When I mentioned the name of the department, Agael’s smiling expression disappeared in an instant.

Yeah. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Now she’s thinking of revealing his true nature.

How much I wanted to see what was behind that disgusting mask.

“Are you saying that your words now... are an insult to our department?”

“A legitimate objection. Jinpung is dead. Do you think I’m stupid? He can’t die unless I allow it. But he’s gone, which means someone intervened and took care of him beforehand. And I don’t need to tell you who that someone is.”

A slight wrinkle appeared on Agael’s forehead.

She didn’t expect me to know this much.

Well.

She must have looked down on me so much that she sent Jinpung, who was nothing more than that.

“...Even so, I am your superior. Show some respect.”

“Oh, how much respect can I show you? But you know, a superior is a superior, and a mistake is a mistake, right?”

I said with a smiling face.

“How do you plan to compensate for disposing of Jinpung in my hands without permission? This is clearly an abuse of power, you know?”

Jinpung, who was already dead, was being treated like an object. Well, it was his own fault anyway.

At my words, Agael managed to smile again as if she had just met me.

“Oh dear. I’m sorry. I guess I made a big mistake. Well, I can’t just say it can’t be helped... so I’ll give you some compensation.”

Agael said that and handed me a small amount of points.

[You have acquired 800TP.]

It’s less than a thousand points.

In the end, this was the price of Jinpung’s life.

Of course, if you consider the value of the information he had, this price was an outrageous rip-off.

“How about that? Isn’t that enough?”

She smiled at me as if to say ‘take this and get lost’.

But I didn’t argue or complain to him.

‘The real value of Jinpung was only this much.’

More than anything, I already knew that the situation would turn out like this.

‘He must have thought I wouldn’t know.’

I knew what Agael was aiming for.

She wouldn’t leave Jinpung alone after failing the mission.

[What are you doing? Why did you come looking for him?]

‘Thanks to him, I got some points.’

It was much better to get some points by formally arguing than doing nothing at all.

800TP is not a dog’s name.

And there was another reason.

Agael herself.

It was to meet her in person.

‘Agael.’

Her rank is manager.

She belongs to the Pentagram department of the Story room.

A cute fairy-shaped teller.

But don’t be fooled by her appearance.

Inside her small body, there is a huge evil that cannot be ignored.

‘Sure enough, she belonged to the Pentagram.’

I know him.

I don’t know how much pain she caused me in the future after the end.

She laughed like crazy as people died, and tortured us every day.

She even killed people who didn’t listen to her by blowing their heads off with her own hands.

I held Agael’s book.

***

[You receive the reward for the Story Battle.]

[You gain 5,000TP as a reward.]

[The spirits were very satisfied with your fight.]

[You gain an additional 3,000TP as a reward.]

[Your story begins to spread a little in the Mixed World.]

[You acquire the ownership of your opponent’s library.]

[Your existing library is merged with the new one.]

[The maximum capacity of your library increases.]

As soon as I returned to the waiting room, the settlement was over and a notification window popped up.

“Wow, wow. The rewards are not bad either.”

Kang Hyerim also received a lot of points because she was contractually bound to me for now, even though she didn’t participate in the fight directly. Of course, it was nothing compared to me who fought and received all the attention.

“But more importantly, Yoo Hyun! You were amazing! I can’t believe you can fight so well!”

“Didn’t I tell you? I’m stronger than you think.”

“Hehe. I believed in you!”

“You were so anxious before I left, like a hungry puppy.”

“No, no! That never happened!”

Kang Hyerim blushed and squeaked as she realized her slip of tongue. But she was so happy that I came back safely that she giggled.

[I’m sorry for making you worry.]

‘But now you know. You don’t have to.’

[Wow. You proved your worth with your actions. And that too against Teller. I think I really met an incredible master.]

‘Do you hate it?’

[No! I love it! It’s no fun to be with an ordinary guy. It’s much more fun to be with someone like you who is witty and has a strong conviction.]

‘What do you mean by witty?’

[Why? Isn’t it true?]

This kid.

I sighed softly. I felt a light weight on my left shoulder and turned my head to see Baekhyo who had returned from scouting sitting on my shoulder.

Hoot.

“Good job. Baekhyo.”

Hoot.

He rubbed his head against my cheek as if he liked my praise. He was still a chick and so cute even when he was still, let alone when he showed his affection.

“Aww. Our Baekhyo.”

I lifted him up on my wrist and gently stroked his head. Baekhyo closed his eyes and shivered with pleasure at my warm touch.

Kang Hyerim looked at us enviously from the side.

“Why? Do you want to stroke Baekhyo too?”

“No. I want Yoo Hyun to stroke me... Ahhhhh! No, no! Nothing!”

Kang Hyerim jumped up and down in her place, blushing and babbling. I didn’t care what she was doing and focused on stroking Baekhyo.

[The colosseum disappears.]

When all the guests left, the colosseum that was created for the Story Battle also disappeared.

I, Kang Hyerim, and Baekhyo, who were in the colosseum waiting room, naturally returned to the original world.

“Is it over now?”

“Yes. It’s over for now.”

I couldn’t open my library any more today anyway, since I had finished the Story Battle properly. Well, if I did, the spirits would flock to me. But I was too tired to do that.

I had already gotten enough of what I wanted, so it was better to stop here for today.

‘And more importantly...’

I glanced at the letters that sparkled in one corner of the message window, as if to appeal their existence.

[Long-term Mission]

When I clicked on it, a sparkling letter popped up in front of me with a bang.

[Congratulations! You have completed the long-term mission.]

[Long-term Mission-Promotion to Assistant]

-Required Merit 3,000(Complete)

-Required Points(TP) 10,000(Complete)

[You can be promoted with a small amount of points as a reward.]

Promotion.

At that word, I clenched my fist and said, ‘Finally.’

Come to think of it, I had already achieved the points, but I couldn’t satisfy the condition because I lacked merit.

But thanks to winning the Story Battle against Jinpung, I filled up all the missing merit over 200 and met all the conditions to be promoted to assistant.
