“I’ll tell you.”
Canis walked up next to Dorothy.
“If what the temple needs is simply minerals, doesn’t it matter if it’s not in this place?”
Iruki answered obediently.
“yes.”
“But why are you kicking us out? This is a historically important site. Moreover, our team is carrying out this project with our own money.”
“I understand there is compensation involved’?”
“It’s not that kind of problem.”
It was a matter of emotions, not substance.
“Don’t you have to at least convince me? “Why are you being so strict when you can use the entire mountain range?”
“The temple is busy. “We will not set a limit on the amount of mining, and we cannot afford to worry about your circumstances.”
Canis sensed Iruki’s unwillingness to leave behind even 0.1 percent of variables.
“In short, we are troublesome and troublesome beings?”
“You could say so.”
A gleam of anger burned in Canis’ eyes.
“Oh yeah. “You’ve grown a lot, Iruki.”
As the guard knights behind them simultaneously drew their swords, a terrifying killing spree spread.
“this??????!”
Closer and Sabina entered the spirit zone, but their heads had already realized it.
‘It’s really strong.’
The sheer force of group living took my breath away.
“Canis is no use.” Arin said.
“Iruki won’t change his mind.”
Iruki’s appearance through menarche was a huge flame burning with life as fuel.
‘It’s different from risking your life.’
The will to achieve it felt like something far beyond life.
“Tsk! “I consider myself lucky.”
When Canis stopped killing, Closer and Sabina also released the Spirit Zone.
It was quite a miserable atmosphere.
“Do you really have to say it that way?” Dorothy asked.
“You could explain it in a good way. You can ask for help and ask for permission. It’s not like she’s someone we don’t know… Iruki looked at her.
The 4D girl who loved daydreaming had now become a full-fledged adult and was leading the team.
“You’ve changed a lot.”
The way she wore clothes that boldly exposed her bare chest and the way she spoke bluntly were different from before.
“No, you’re wrong.”
Of course, many things change as you get older.
However, because we shared the same time, there were some things that could never change.
“Outside of school is a difficult place. I’m not as stubborn as I used to be. But I’m still heading towards my dream. Canis, Arin, Closer, and Sabina all have the same dreams they had during their school days.”
“Then just assume I have changed.”
“You did that to me!” Dorothy shouted.
“There are no adults in the world. “There are only children and children who imitate adults.” “The truth is, it still remains in your heart. But why do you talk like that? “As if I had become a real adult.”
It was disappointing.
Although he was calculating, the Iruki that Dorothy remembers was a child who knew what was really important.
“…I’m sorry, but I don’t have time for this.”
The only person who knew the true meaning behind the saying that there was no time was Arin.
‘Iruki is right Dorothy.’
I don’t know what kind of problem occurred with my body, but I had already given up my attachment to life at the time of menarche.
‘Still, the reason I don’t reveal it is because I want to be confident in front of my friends.
‘Because I would have done the same.’
Therefore, even in situations where her classmates were at odds, she had no choice but to remain silent.
“okay? I do not have time?”
Dorothy turned over and walked over to Hickory 19 and lay down on her back.
“Take a boat! We can never get out of the way! “You can step on it or kill it, whatever you want!”
Dorothy’s face looked sad with her eyes tightly closed.
‘You bastard.’
It may be true for other people, but Iruki shouldn’t do this to himself.
‘This was a meeting Dorothy had been looking forward to…
Sabina, who understood her feelings, lay down next to Dorothy and shouted.
“okay! Kill, kill! “Kill us!”
Aromi said, raising her glasses.
“I will arrest you.”
As the knights walked forward with great strides, Iruki turned around and said.
“That’s Okay. “Let’s go today.”
“But…
“This is a team that has been investigating the Arca Mountains for a long time. It will help you because your skills will not decline. “It’s not good to start a conflict already.”
Although it went against Aromi’s work philosophy, respect for Iruki took priority.
she said to Canis.
“I will give you one day according to the general’s instructions. I hope you make good decisions.”
As the temple drove away, Arin approached the two and said,
“I left. “Stop getting up.”
Dorothy sat down with a gloomy expression.
“I can’t work today. Let’s go back and take action. “I will also review Iruki’s proposal.”
No matter how angry he was, he was a wizard who did what he had to do.
“I’m sorry that the place you are staying is so shabby. Because I didn’t expect that I would be staying there…
The place where Iruki was staying was a temporary barracks 300 meters away from the mining site.
“are you okay. How about the excavation team?” Aromi pretended to look outside
.
“I was stuck in a temporary building and couldn’t even see my nose. “I think they are reviewing the documents we handed over.”
Iruki stood up from the chair.
“I’ll probably accept it. They’re angry because of me. They’re smart and sensible kids. Do not worry.”
Aromi smiled.
“I’m not worried. I’m worried about the general’s health. “If this has already happened, please take a break for a day.”
Even though I wanted to rest, thoughts of the armies of hell never left my mind.
A time when everyone is asleep except for those on watch duty.
This rookie, who was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, heard footsteps and lifted his eyelids.
“Let go. “Let go of this.” Dorothy was standing at the entrance to the barracks with her arms being held by the knights.
When I took off my work clothes, my previous youthful appearance was revealed, but I still couldn’t get used to the outfit.
“Commander General. This woman is so salty…
“It’s okay.”
As the knights saluted and left, Dorothy came over and massaged the arm that was being held captive.
“That’s amazing. “People like that are dying at your words.”
“what’s the matter?”
Dorothy had no answer.
“When it comes to mining rights, my position does not change. Starting tomorrow, the military company we signed a contract with…
“That’s enough.”
Dorothy interrupted.
“Work aside, don’t we have some personal homework to solve?”
Dorothy came faster than usual.
“Have you been drinking?”
“That’s not the point. What I want to hear is… Why are you doing that?”
” what?”
Dorothy never forgot for a moment.
“We kissed.”
“You did it.”
“anyway! And we dated.”
Although we parted ways after 13 minutes.
“Why did you do that? Did you have any feelings for me at all? Or just curiosity? Which of the two is it?”
“What’s the big deal?”
“It’s important to me.”
First man’s first kiss.
I could have just left it as a good memory, but when I saw his face, I couldn’t help but ask.
” I am??????
Iruki, who was thinking back to his school days, let out a sigh, stopped talking and turned around.
“Let’s stop. “It’s meaningless.”
“It’s meaningless? why? Are you childish now that you are in a high position? Or maybe I’ll catch your ankle…
“I’ll die soon.”
Dorothy’s words trailed off.
“??????what?”
“My brain is kind of brilliant. So much so that it shortens one’s lifespan. But recently, the features have improved.”
If it was a joke, it was evil.
“What do you mean? “Where in the world can you die just because you used your brain?”
“It’s not at a dangerous level. Maybe I can hold out for a while. But I’m the brains behind the crusade and I have no intention of stopping. If we continue to go into overdrive like this, maybe…
Iruki made a popping noise and pretended to explode.
“no.”
Dorothy shook her head.
“That can’t be possible.”
He got angry to hide his precious feelings, but in reality, he was a friend whom he missed so much.
“haha! Don’t be scared. “Is it still worth holding on?”
Not yet.
“To be honest, it’s comfortable. I can’t be weak. Because it is responsible for so many lives. Ah, the Hickory No. 19 you made was cool. “I heard you’ve made a lot of improvements?”
Dorothy cried.
“Why are you so stupid? “Nothing has changed from before to now!”
Iruki smiled bitterly.
“Anyway, please help me. Since you are the team leader, convince the team members…
Before he could finish speaking, Dorothy grabbed Iruki by the collar and threw him onto the bed.
“I told you I wasn’t here to talk about work. “I absolutely must hear the answer.”
Dorothy took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, then knelt down with Iruki’s face between her legs.
They were short jeans that exposed all of the thighs.
“…What are you doing now?”
“If you don’t know that, you’re not a man.” Of course I know.
“You’re crazy.”
“Why is this happening again? “I’m Dorothy.”
Of course I know that too.
“I told you. I have no intention of stopping. “My life might be too short to do anything with you.”
Dorothy raised her eyebrows.
“If you die tomorrow, are you not going to eat?” Iruki was lost in thought for a moment and slowly turned his head left and right.
‘Left thigh. Ooh thighs.’
Because there was nowhere to run.
‘It’s straight ahead.’
Iruki suddenly raised his upper body.
The next morning.
Dorothy escaped from the barracks like a stray cat and entered the water as if nothing had happened.
The team was gathered in the living room, reviewing a lengthy court document.
Sabina raised her head.
“Where are you coming from? “You weren’t in your room this morning?”
“uh? “Oh, I was just checking the mining site.”
When I went into the living room without thinking, Canis grumbled with a dissatisfied expression.
“Tch, anyway, it doesn’t make sense to be kicked out like this.”
As expected, it was that kind of agenda.
“It’s over there.”
Dorothy spoke carefully.
“How about we just take a step back? To be honest, Iruki must be distracted because of the war. “Relics are important, but shouldn’t humanity survive first?”
Arin said while the team members blinked at the change in attitude overnight.
“Actually, we were also focusing on that. “Anyway, there’s no chance of winning a legal battle against the temple.”
Sabina rested her chin and rummaged through her files.
“I reviewed it and it’s definitely not a bad condition. “We can secure the right to excavate the next historic site first, and the penalty imposed as a condition for giving up is sufficient.”
Dorothy’s face widened.
“Then shall I meet the director? “Maybe we can get better conditions.”
The folder closed with a thud.
“There is no disagreement about that. But before that, there is something I must point out.”
“huh? “What do you want to point out?”
Sabina pointed at Dorothy with mischievous eyes.
“You slept with her, right?”
“Hoo?”
Dorothy rolled her eyes as Closer turned around with an excited look on his face.
“Well, what happened was…even if I had 10 mouths, I couldn’t say anything.
