Four days passed since Kim Dokja left. The fortress still remained and no signs of destruction were visible.
The sky of Paradise was more peaceful than ever and it was even languid. Lee Gilyoung looked at the sky and spoke in a dark voice. “We have been abandoned.”
“The little boy is starting again.”
“Dokja hyung threw us away.” Lee Gilyoung was in a depressed state and had been repeating these words for two days.
Lee Jihye frowned from where she was sharpening her blade nearby. “Why are you making such a fuss?”
Lee Gilyoung replied, “Do you know when a protagonist will leave his colleagues behind?”
“…When?”
“When a colleague will interfere.”
“We are now judged as useless!”
“…How is Ahjussi a protagonist? Honestly, Master is more suitable to be the protagonist. In addition, this isn't a novel.” Lee JIhye grunted but her expression wasn't bright either.
In the past four days, the group was calm. It was a drug-like peace. It was so peaceful that they felt calm. Nobody threatened them and there was nothing in the world to worry about.
They trained their skills from time to time and recalled the advice Kim Dokja had left for them.
「Gilyoung is lacking skills persistence. If you have coins left, try to place them in 'patience' or 'indomitable persistence'. You can use the exchange or ask your sponsor to help you. 」
「 Jihye, you are too biased towards agility. If you have surplus coins, invest in strength and magic power. Your battle style will change depending on where you invest. 」
「 Yoosung, focus on raising 'Taming' and Advanced Diverse Communication' to the maximum level. If you need other skills related to taming, tell me at any time. 」
Was it due to Lee Gilyoung's words? The uneasy Lee Jihye poked Shin Yoosung sitting next to her. “Hey, little beast.”
Shin Yoosung, who had been training Advanced Diverse Communication due to Kim Dokja's advice, suddenly woke up.
“…What is it?”
They might be in the same party but Shin Yoosung didn't like Lee Jihye, who was rude to Kim Dokja. Lee Jihye was embarrassed by the look in Shin Yoosung's eyes and said, “Hey, don't look at me that way. I have to ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“Do you know what Dokja ahjussi is going?”
Shin Yoosung's eyes widened at the unexpected question.
Lee Jihye continued, “You are his incarnation so I was wondering if you knew something. Originally, incarnations get information on the sponsor whenever the sponsor and incarnation's synchronization increases.”
In fact, Lee Jihye also shared Yi Sunsin's memories whenever she used the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare's stigma. In the end, the core of the story was the stigma. It was inevitable to know the story of the constellation every time the power was used.
Shin Yoosung desperately tried to choose her words before barely opening her mouth. “Ahjussi… he is a lonely person.”
“Hey, anyone could say that.”
“He also likes reading books…”
“Books?”
“Yes. Countless pages appear whenever I think of Ahjussi. I'm not sure what it is… I can't see the page contents.” Shin Yoosung hesitated and lowered her head. “I still don't know that much. I haven't received a stigma yet.”
“…I didn't ask to discourage you.”
Lee Jihye patted Shin Yoosung's shoulder and once again realized reality. Only one person left but the whole atmosphere of the party changed. As a member, they had to survive well.
'If it wasn't for Ahjussi, everything would already be over…'
She looked around and noticed that everyone was uneasy. The two children who depended on KIm Dokja, the soldier who only knew the manual, the female swordsman who was unable to properly cope with her power…
By the way… things must've happened in Paradise by now. This was the flow in the original novel and the party members would probably do well. Things had been working out recently. If this continued, the scenario would be cleared in a flash…
[A huge fate is hoping for your death.]
…What?
