[You have entered Chungmuro.]

All of them were inspecting the place, while following the girl who they just met a few minutes ago.

Rimuru's pov

'Now.., we finally arrived after following this girl.'

After peeking at her attribute window, I could tell that she's strong, or maybe she could get more stronger because of that growth package thing...

Throughout our conversations, she always mention her master.., so that master she's talking about must be strong.., and also dangerous...

"Hey little samurai. You've brought some newbies." A man came towards us and spoke to the little samurai he called.

"Yeah." Lee jihye answered.

Lee jihye talked to the man, he looks drunk, then another man appeared and leaned his elbow to the other. Both of them stared at us, to be specific, me and Sangah.

"What's your name little miss?, I know a cheap room. Do you want it?" The man spoke to Yoo Sangah, she seemed to be confused about the rooms, but the man continued.

"You could also bring a friend if you don't mind.., the more the merrier." The man then stared at me with a disgusting face, then chuckled after finishing his words.

"Quit pestering the newbies and go upstairs." Lee jihye warned the men.

"They gotta learn someday. We do this to make a living-" the man reasoned, but was stopped after realizing the sword on his neck.

"If you value your life..." Lee jihye scared the men away.

Lee jihye tried to leave us, but was stopped when Kim Dokja asked something.

"Yoo Junghyuk is here too, right?"

The girl turned around surprised, but then returned to being serious and clicked her sword.

"Who are you?" She asked while holding her sword.

'Yoo Junghyuk.., I think it's a guy. So its her master..'

After Kim Dokja and Lee jihye talked, she left to go fetch her master while leaving this boy to keep an eye on us.

Now all of us were sitting, listening to the boy's story about his knight and shining armored called Yoo Junghyuk.

I'm starting to get bored but still listened, Kim Dokja yawned, while Lee Hyunsung was taking notes.

'why is he taking notes though?.'

"So.., that Yoo Junghyuk guy saved you and Lee jihye three days ago, that's the gist of the story right?" I asked

Sorry but I have to end your story right now, the thing I'm looking for, is information.

The only thing I know about Yoo Junghyuk was that his name is Yoo Junghyuk, he's the master of Lee jihye, and he's strong that's all. There's nothing new about it.

While the boy continued to have conversation with Lee Hyunsung. Kim Dokja slept and I got a new information about Yoo Junghyuk's abilities after listening to them, it seemed not useful, not also useless.., I mean.., cooking is great, but it's not the thing I'm looking for.

And why am I gathering information about that guy anyway?..., it feels like I'm going to meet him sooner or later so I should just put it aside.., the thing I'm more interested about is the landlord alliance...

And I also need the bathroom..

.

.

.

.

.

The boy was now taking us around.., and again, to be specific, it's me, Yoo Sangah, Lee Gilyoung then the boy.

I could tell.., everyone could tell how much messed up this place is. All of them were cautious of whose coming towards them.., because of that green zone. The zone sounds safe, but the people aren't.

"Did Yoo Junghyuk do anything about this?" I asked, looking for another information.

"I thought he saved you?" I added.

"Well..., He just told us to fend for ourselves" the boy answered, looking down.

'I thought he was kind.., but I guess I was wrong.., or not?.., he must have his own reasons...'

The fact that saving someone doesn't mean you can have responsibility towards them is in his head, there are many people, yet he only chose one. Because he cannot bare the responsibilities of many people. And I don't know why I'm thinking like this.., like.., i don't even know him..

"Oh, why are people gathered over there?" Yoo Sangah asked, I snapped back to reality and saw a bunch of people.

"The bathroom is just past them" the boy answered. I could hear them screaming, begging for one night, but I didn't care to know what It is.

'Hehe. I can finally go to the bathroom..'

But suddenly, Lee Gilyoung run towards them, squeezing himself forward to reach the bathroom.

We tried to go after him, but all of them got quiet, and that made me worry and pushed myself forward and saw Lee Gilyoung kneeling on the ground while his hands were in the red zone that I don't know.

I quickly glanced at Yoo Sangah and told her to go fetch Kim Dokja and the others fast, then she started running.

A man came towards him and all the people started running. The man placed his hands on Lee Gilyoung's head, then suddenly, four turrets appeared from all sides.

"Hand over your coins kid." The man said.

I stepped in, but not in the zone.

"Oh?, You must be his gurdian." The man looked at me, then stood up and continued.

"why don't you.. pay me 500 coins instead."

'Seriously.., 500 coins?, Just stepping s foot here would cost that much?!, Aren't you too greedy?!.'

It's not like I can't pay but.., I don't like losing things without a proper reason, and I can't let Lee Gilyoung handle this himself, he's still a kid.

I took Lee Gilyoung on my side, and he was hiding behind me.

"Why are you collecting coins from these people?, Isn't Chungmuro station a public facility?" I asked.

"Haha. It was, until eight days ago." The man answered with a laugh, then he continued.

"but not anymore. If you can't pay me money.. then you can pay me with.. something else.."

The man's creepy eyes traveled down to my body and up to my masked face. He smirked as he said those words.

My eyes squinted in annoyance behind my mask. I couldn't help but say something back and do it with sarcasm.

"No thanks. I'd rather pay with coins than sharing a bed with a pig.."

'H•ll yeah!'

I could see the man's forehead being marked with an irk due to annoyance.

I'm actually buying some time, Ill have that man to deal with this stuff.

"Oh.. sorry I'm late" finally he appeared.

I turned my head around and saw Kim Dokja and the others behind him panting.

He walked over me and said.

"Ill pay, but I'll only pay him in person."

And there.., Kim Dokja stepped in the zone and started calling for Mr.Gong, he must be the owner.

The turrets moved it's head, reacting to Kim Dokja's tress passing, then a voice told him to stop.

Is he going for a suicide?!, But I rebuked myself from those thoughts and started to trust him on whatever he'll do.

He tried to negotiate with the landlord for some time, the he walked away but was stopped because he didn't payed the landlord yet.

The turret was preparing to fire at Kim Dokja's direction, and the people who were in the way ran.

"You guys run, Lee Hyunsung let me borrow the shield." I asked while running, not bothering to get the answer from Lee Hyunsung, I know he understands.

As I was close at Kim Dokja, Lee Hyunsung threw the shield towards me, and I catched it. And the turret fired, I was able to block it in time..

"Rimuru.." Kim Dokja whispered behind me, loud enough for me to hear.

"Do whatever you need to do now Kim Dokja!, There are three more turrets, i only have one shield you know!" I complained because this guy is now zoning out.

Then he snapped back and turned his head towards the landlord.

"I dont think it's a wise decision for you to fight us right now." Kim Dokja said

"And why is that?" The landlord questioned while leaning his cheek on his forearm.

"If you do, you'll die right where you're sitting." Kim Dokja answered while looking towards his newly arrived companion.

I could hear Lee jihye's voice not too far away. Then heared Kim Dokja say

"hey Junghyuk."

Then turning my head, I could see a man with a handsome face, in a black coat and a sword on his side. He looks surprised, while Lee jihye was standing beside him looking back and forth towards Kim Dokja and him.

'So this is him..., I thought he would be an old man or something, since he train Lee jihye with a sword, like how Hakouru trained me...'

'but seeing him in person was beyond my imagination, because he wasnt what I imagined. He looks familiar though.. have I meet him before?'

{...}

Nevermind..

Both Lee jihye and Mr.Gong's head were looking back and forth at the two of them.

"I-" Yoo Junghyuk tried to say something but was cut off by Kim Dokja.

"And it'd be great if you could make them let us use the bathroom"

Yoo Junghyuk unsheathed his sword, while I fully turned my attention to him. If things get worst..

I won't agree in terms that involve money, but I'll promise you something more than that....

Those were the words I promised.., and I won't break it.., no matter what it takes..

But suddenly, Yoo Junghyuk pointed his sword at the landlord.

Huh?

Pov end

.

.

.

.

Kim Dokja's pov

We were finally able to use the bathroom, Yoo Junghyuk didn't say anything and pointed his sword at Gong Pildu, and he just let us go.

Still, it was a good thing that he didn't move his attention to Rimuru, I can't let them meet each other.

This guy's stats are no joke, I still have a doubt that Rimuru would be able to take him down.

Jung Heewon finally woke up, and everyone sorrounded her except me, Yoo Junghyuk and Lee jihye.

"You must have made new companions"

[Yoo Junghyuk is a little disappointed at you.]

What?, Why?

[Yoo Junghyuk has activated the skill, 'Sages Eye lvl.8'.]

'i left Lee Hyunsung with him, but look how weak he is, how disappointing.'

Yoo Junghyuk thought.

Lee Hyunsung would've been even stronger if he was with Yoo Junghyuk. But still, I'm just an ordinary reader who got lucky for knowing the future.

'What?.., How can she!?'

Yoo Junghyuk's sudden thought made my heart best faster.

'What?!, Who did you look into?!, Is it Rimuru?, Or Jung Heewon?.'

Right now I'm rattling inside my head.

I can't ask him who's he looking to, he'll find out I can read his mind. Suddenly Rimuru faced us, more like Yoo Junghyuk who was staring at him.

"Umm..., Why are you looking at me?"

Rimuru asked

'Oh no!, You shouldn't talk to him!!.'

I turned my head to face Yoo Junghyuk but he disappeared.

Suddenly I could hear a loud thud then a strong wind and blowed my hair and I almost fell.

It took a few seconds before the wind calm down. I brushed off my hair on my eyes, and saw the thing I didn't want to happen.

Rimuru and Yoo Junghyuk's foot were positioned in kicking. Both of it were the cause of the strong wind.

The impact from their kicks were strong enough to blow us away.

I could see a large crack everywhere, mostly on the floor where both of them were standing.

Their feet didn't budge to move, until Rimuru spoke.

"Isn't this a bad way of greeting someone you've seen for the first time?" His face was getting exposed, his mask was nowhere to be seen.

[A number of constellation's are intrigue in your fight.]

[A few constellation's are complementing the incarnation 'Han Rimuru's for his beauty and strength.]

'I know the feeling Rimuru, that guy really makes a good impression in first meetings.'

I thought as i recalled the first time I met Yoo Junghyuk.

Yoo Junghyuk could only stare at him with surprise, a person who can withstand his kick easily, was rare. And even I, could only stare the same.

[A few constellation's are smirking at the turn of events.]

Seriously, I'm already busy surviving the novel I read..

I dont think I can handle my thoughts that came to real...

[The Constellation 'Lord Of Catastrophic Storms' is grinning.]

[The Constellation 'Tyrant Of Destruction' is smiling widely.]
