 [Chapter 170]

[Falling Wings]

Morning of the second day after the monster invasion.

The people of Yongsan-gu were busy repairing the positions that collapsed overnight.

""""...."""

The two army commanders that appeared in Yongsan-gu the previous day.

Level 4 Samgakji Great Toad Chief.

Even if the army commander's rank was low, the reality that there were two army commanders, not one, heightened their anxiety.

Moreover, they lived in an area bordering the Han River.

Tonight too, the two army commanders will invade, breaking through the positions they repaired.

And they may end up no different from the people covered in white sheets laid out in one building.

Nevertheless─

"─I hear <Swift Sword> took down a Level 3 monster in Jung-gu last night? They say he was the first to take down an army commander that even S-rank clan members and Twelve Seats couldn't defeat?"

"Hey! How can you call him <Swift Sword> so impersonally? Is the Pandora Clan Lord from some other neighborhood? Shouldn't you call him Pandora Clan Lord!?"

"What does it matter if he's <Swift Sword> or Pandora Clan Lord. The important thing is that he's fighting for us without even sleeping."

The people of Yongsan-gu quickly chattered in lively tones.

Though the current situation was gloomy, compared to other regions, it couldn't be said to be entirely gloomy.

Residents and foreigners were joining forces to fight with Players, and Pandora Clan members were blocking the army.

Also, even though a fifth army commander appeared, the damage wasn't as great as expected.

Above all, news that <Swift Sword> Noh Eun-ha and clan members took down an army commander boosted morale.

Right then,

"Huh? What's that?"

"Oh... Something's coming in?"

People who were maintaining Seobinggo-ro.

They soon saw trucks crossing Dongjak Bridge and shouted in surprise.

"S-Supplies! It must be supplies!"

"I see Sirius Group's logo! Alice Group and Luminus Group too...! I see other group logos too!"

"How many trucks are there..."

A bridge connecting Gangbuk and Gangnam.

But bridges spanning the Han River were currently non-functional due to the Cocoon's destruction.

This was because monsters hiding in the Han River were occupying the surroundings.

Those creatures interfered with people's movement by poking their heads above the water surface or occupying the bridges.

To be precise, they blocked supplies from moving from Gangnam to Gangbuk.

But the situation at Dongjak Bridge was different.

[Hello. This is Samra Transport, swiftly and safely transporting your hearts! To help our heroes who don't hesitate to fight to protect their neighbors, domestic groups led by Sirius Group have stepped up to supply resources.]

A Player standing on the lead truck broadcasted telepathy to nearby people.

People cheered.

"Food! Kids, food is coming!"

"Someone contact Pandora Clan!"

"It's not over yet... This is how it should be! This is how business groups should be!"

With monsters controlling the Han River bridges, Gangbuk was in an isolated state.

That they would have to fight a lonely battle among themselves.

That they couldn't expect external support.

People couldn't erase such thoughts from their minds.

However, as a result of Pandora Clan perfectly defending Dongjak Bridge while coming to Yongsan-gu, the only road connecting Gangnam and Gangbuk remained.

To this, led by Sirius Group, various business groups supported supplies and asked Samra Transport to deliver them.

"Go out! Quickly go out and receive supplies!"

"They say it's thanks to Pandora Clan that business groups could cross Dongjak Bridge?" "Wow! I wonder if there's cigarettes or alcohol? I just ran out..."

"You idiots! Don't just stand there watching, quickly go out and show them the way! We need to think about where to park all those trucks!"

""""Long live Pandora Clan!!!""""

Yeo U-bi's condition improved.

Her skin that had turned pitch black had already returned to normal.

However, she needed to rest for a day to let the elixir's effects fully permeate her body.

It will be difficult to expect Yeo U-bi noona to participate in battle.

It's regrettable but can't be helped.

Yeo U-bi sleeping soundly.

Yu Nam-hoon decided to stay in the hospital room, saying he would watch over her.

Eun-ha left the hospital room with Noh Eun-ah and Cha Eun-woo.

"Can't you make magic that can neutralize the army commanders' poison?"

"It's not that we can't make it, but we lack time to calmly analyze it. If we had enough time, we could develop healing magic."

Two Level 4 army commanders.

Eun-ha asked Eun-woo, who could now smile brightly after stopping her tears.

But the answer came from the opposite side.

Eun-ah answered.

"Still, we have to try somehow. Now that U-bi unni has survived, we're going to try analyzing it." "You're not going without sleep, right? You should still get enough sleep."

"What about you, are you getting enough sleep? I don't think I've seen you sleep once since the Cocoon broke..."

Eun-woo added.

Then she carefully looked over Eun-ha's body condition and spoke.

Noh Eun-ah's eyes narrowed too.

"That's right. What's with the kid's face? Get some sleep, even a little. Fortunately, there's little chance of monsters appearing in broad daylight." "Yeah, I'm planning to get some sleep when I get back. I won't be able to sleep long, but I should at least close my eyes for a bit."

Eun-ah advised as if admonishing.

Eun-ha nodded.

He was feeling tired anyway.

In fact, he hadn't slept since the army invaded until now.

He had been so busy there wasn't even time to sleep.

I should rest. At this rate I'll really collapse.

Moreover, he even used his gift at dawn today.

Fatigue had accumulated.

Fortunately, everything that needed to be done was finished, so he decided to get some sleep for a while.

"By the way, analyzing the poison structure will be work. With the library not functioning normally, I wonder how long it will take to analyze..." "Yeah... If there was someone who survived being poisoned, we could get antibodies from them... Unni, how about looking for antibodies among people poisoned by monsters under the Great Toad Chief?"

"Let's try that for now... Maybe the structure of their poison is similar to the army commander's."

Meanwhile, as they walked down the hallway.

Eun-ah and Eun-woo sighed repeatedly while talking.

Eun-ha, who had been quietly listening to their conversation─

"─Can't we get antibodies?"

""Huh?""

As if saying what's so difficult about that.

Eun-ha casually replied.

The two women's eyes widened.

Eun-ha shrugged and looked around.

There he is.

Clan members inside the building.

He found the person he was looking for among them.

He pointed with his finger.

"Cheon-seo's gift adapts to environmental changes and ultimately gains immunity, right?"

"Huh? Eun-ha, what did you say?" ""...."""

Lee Cheon-seo.

His gift was <Cockroach>.

Eun-ha ignored him who was blinking in surprise at being suddenly pointed out, and explained to the two women.

"That makes sense."

"There's a possibility."

"Huh? W-What?"

The two women's eyes sparkled.

Cha Eun-woo smiled wickedly.

Noh Eun-ah stared at him intently with her hand on her chin.

"Even if we can't get antibodies, Cheon-seo won't die easily from poison thanks to his gift. He'll survive even after healing magic is developed, right? Eun-woo, you know how excellent Cheon-seo's gift is."

"That's right. He showed excellent adaptability even carrying 2 eggs in his stomach. He probably won't die even if poisoned by the army commander."

"So let's poison him."

"Huh...!? W-What! What are you suddenly doing to me!"

"Min-ho, catch him!"

"Chang-jin, you catch him too!"

""...!!""

Crash!

Eun-ha's order fell.

The two men simultaneously rushed at Lee Cheon-seo.

Meanwhile, Eun-woo gave orders to Mok Min-ho who was nearby, and Eun-ah gave orders to Han Chang-jin who had just entered the building.

"Waaah!! Help! Why are you doing this!?"

"Stay still! The needle might break if you tense your arm too much."

"Yeah, it'll be over soon so don't cry and stay still."

""""...."""

<Guinea Pig (Marmotte)> Lee Cheon-seo.

That day, it became an alias occasionally mentioned among Pandora Clan members.

"Supplies have arrived!"

"Huh?"

After Lee Cheon-seo was carried to the ward.

Eun-ha, who had left the building, heard people shouting from the bottom of the hill.

Supplies have arrived.

Eun-ha doubted his ears.

There's no way supplies could come in?

Eun-ha recalled memories from before the regression.

Bridges connecting Gangnam and Gangbuk were blocked by monsters.

As a result, Players in Gangbuk had to fight in isolation until the Fairy brought reinforcements.

Of course, they couldn't expect resupply, and Players even fought each other over food.

[Pandora Clan telepathist Jin Seo-na. After confirming with people, it seems the administrator unni persuaded groups to send supplies.]

Telepathy heard soon after.

It seems supplies did come in.

To this, Eun-ha went down to the road where Dongjak Bridge could be seen with other clan members.

""""Wow....""""

Everyone marveled.

Huge trucks were lining up and passing through the bridge.

Some trucks had already crossed the bridge and were heading somewhere following foreigners' guidance instructions.

"Let's go take a look too."

"Clan Lord! I'll guide you!" "Who's your Clan Lord."

Eun-ha told the clan members.

Just then, Dominic who received a message from David Kim guided them.

"...So many came."

He heard from Dominic as they walked.

Thanks to Pandora Clan safely defending Dongjak Bridge, groups were able to send supplies to Gangbuk.

In other words, trucks that would be distributed throughout Gangbuk were concentrated at Dongjak Bridge.

"What about monsters? With so many trucks, they won't just stand by..."

"They say Players from Gangnam stood guard. They said they can't send reinforcements because they need to protect Gangnam too, but they'll help as much as they can within their means."

Dominic said with his nose in the air.

He appealed his usefulness to Eun-ha in that way.

Eun-ha pretended not to notice and looked up at the truck in the lead.

Above the Samra Transport logo, Sirius Group's logo was printed large.

Other trucks also had logos of groups that sent supplies engraved.

All 10 major groups have gathered.

Sirius, Alice, Yeongwon, Luminus.

The logos Eun-ha saw most often were familiar groups to him too.

Besides these, names of 6 other groups including Samra Group could be seen.

Occasionally, names of groups that didn't make the top 10 in business could be found too.

"Hey, Eun-ha! Are you guys alive and well!?"

"Hae-su hyung?"

Right then.

Someone flung open the door and got out of one of the parked trucks nearby.

It was Byeok Hae-su.

Wearing work gloves and overalls, he waved and approached.

The clan members' faces brightened.

"Seeing your faces, nothing bad happened! That's fortunate, fortunate!"

"Hyung, what's going on?"

"Can't you tell by looking? It's supplies. Ah, you guys just take as much as you want. The groups that sponsored this time allowed it."

Bang bang.

Byeok Hae-su hugged Eun-ha tightly and hit his back.

The sound was loud since he hit with his large hands.

Byeok Hae-su laughed heartily as if something was so good.

"The eldest sister-in-law was really amazing. Do you know what she did the day you guys left for Gangbuk?"

""""...."""

Clan members dumbfounded.

Byeok Hae-su let go of Eun-ha and finally explained the whole story.

"As if preparing for something like this to happen, she gave orders to Sirius Group to prepare supplies." """"...."""

"From the next day, she contacted people from various groups and made plans to supply resources to Gangbuk, you know? And luckily, thanks to you guys opening up Dongjak Bridge, supplies were able to come like this today."

"This noona really..."

"Treat the eldest sister-in-law well, you brat. Ah, of course the other sisters-in-law too."

It was Han Seo-hyun's picture.

Eun-ha couldn't hide his bewildered feelings as he kept watching trucks park in the elementary school playground.

Just as he kept secrets from her.

She too had been preparing while keeping secrets from him.

"And I came to check if you guys were doing well. While I'm at it, I'll maintain your devices and deliver a device to Si-hyung too. Eun-ha, give me your device first."

"Ah, here."

The clan members smiled broadly hearing Byeok Hae-su's words.

They were in a situation where device maintenance was needed due to continuous battles anyway.

Eun-ha and the clan members handed him their devices.

During that,

"Ah, and take this too."

"A letter? What's this?"

"What do you mean what is it. It's a letter the eldest sister-in-law told me to give you."

Byeok Hae-su held out a letter.

The envelope was quite thick.

Eun-ha raised the corners of his mouth at the fact that Han Seo-hyun sent it.

"And Sirius Group will pass on an elixir they were keeping to you Eun-ha this time, so use it as you see fit."

"You brought an elixir too?"

"That's in the car now, I'll give it to you later."

To think she'd even give up an elixir.

Han Seo-hyun exerted a lot of effort.

Eun-ha burst out laughing.

Pandora Clan hall temporarily assigned by the people of Yongsan-gu.

Though it was only temporary, Eun-ha who entered his room immediately flopped down on the bed.

"I wonder what this noona sent?"

Then he opened the letter.

Right now outside, foreigners were busy distributing supplies.

As a result, it was noisy outside but very quiet inside the building.

I feel like I'm going to fall asleep.

Eun-ha tried hard to stay awake and read the letter.

"...Cute."

Though it was a short impression.

The words consisting of just three characters contained many emotions.

To summarize Seo-hyun's letter, she said she would focus on what she could do to help him.

So you do your best at what you can do.

And don't get hurt.

Lastly, she misses you.

Eun-ha couldn't help but laugh seeing the handwriting that seemed particularly forceful on the last phrase.

"Huh? There's something on the back? Postscript?"

Then he found something written on the back of the letter too.

Another message was written starting with 'p.s.'.

「p.s. Yu-jeong asked. She said she has nothing she can do but wants to give you something. So I'll enclose a handkerchief. How you use it is up to you.」

"...Is she jealous?"

She could have written on a new sheet of paper.

Eun-ha muttered seeing the postscript deliberately left on the back of the letter.

He couldn't know Han Seo-hyun's feelings, but somehow it seemed like she was being petty.

It was different from the her he knew.

He wondered if the situation of monsters invading Gangbuk had made her so emotional.

Eun-ha recalled Han Seo-hyun's face and looked forward to the day he would meet her after defeating the monsters.

"By the way, she said Yu-jeong sent it? Ah, this must be it."

No wonder the envelope was thick.

Soon Eun-ha found a neatly folded handkerchief inside the envelope.

A handkerchief with the emblem of an evening primrose embroidered on it.

It was the handkerchief Lee Yu-jeong usually carried around.

"...Thank you. I'll use it well. Come to think of it, how does Yu-jeong know about these kinds of magic? I should ask her when I see her later."

A handkerchief with powerful protective magic formulas engraved on it.

Eun-ha carefully folded the handkerchief again and put it in his navy blue jacket pocket.

"I'm sleepy... I should get some sleep for a bit."

"Bibi..."

Eventually Eun-ha decided to sleep.

Buldak was tired too and lay down on the windowsill closing its eyes.

He was about to close his eyes too when─

"─Eun-ha, are you sleeping?"

"Hm? What's up?"

"Ehehe."

"Baba!"

Peek.

Jung Ha-yang opened the door and came in.

She saw him in the room and approached with a smile.

Then without hesitation, she threw herself onto the bed where he was lying.

"I thought I'd close my eyes for a bit here too!"

"Huh? Are you done with work?" "Seo-na and Min-ji said they'd take over, so I decided to rest for a bit. What's wrong? Do you dislike being with me?"

"...No. Come here."

"Okay!"

She clings tightly to Eun-ha's body.

Jung Ha-yang ran into his arms with a soft smile.

Eun-ha gently hugged her.

Sleepiness quickly washed over him.

But the problem was─

"─Ugh..."

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

"No, I'm sleepy but..." "Hm?"

"Never mind. Let's sleep quickly. At this rate we won't have time to sleep."

Eun-ha groaned.

Jung Ha-yang looked up at Eun-ha with innocent eyes.

Eun-ha avoided her gaze.

He forcefully closed his eyes.

I won't be able to sleep properly...

I can't do that in this situation either...

Jung Ha-yang presses her body close.

Eun-ha consciously pulled his hips back.

Still, sleep came easily.

Being tired, his eyes closed naturally.

...How long did I sleep?

It feels like I slept for 3 hours.

Eun-ha rubbed his eyes.

"Mmm..."

Perhaps sensing his presence.

Jung Ha-yang who had been sleeping soundly soon stirred.

She flailed her arms.

Seems like she's looking for him.

Then she moved her body and hugged Eun-ha's stomach.

"Mmm...?"

"Did you sleep well?"

"...How long did we sleep?"

"3 hours. Sleep more." "No. I need to work now too. But I want to stay like this a little longer."

She nuzzles her face against his back.

Eun-ha stroked her head and woke Buldak with a light tap.

Buldak who had been sleeping well opened its eyes with a squawk.

"I wish this would end quickly. I want to go home and sleep soundly." "Me too."

"I want to sleep comfortably with you too."

"We just slept comfortably now."

"We only slept for 3 hours."

Jung Ha-yang puffs out her cheeks.

Eun-ha poked her cheek with his finger.

He checked the time.

12 PM.

It was about time to switch with clan members who were working.

Eun-ha reached out and grabbed his jacket.

"You put on clothes quickly too."

"You put them on me."

"You're such a baby." "Mm, I want to be a baby."

Jung Ha-yang spreads her arms.

Eun-ha sighed but helped her put on her jacket.

Jung Ha-yang fixed her hair.

She fixed Eun-ha's hair too.

Eventually the two who had tidied up simply came out of the temporary clan hall.

Right then─

[─Announcement from the Mana Management Organization.]

""...."""

Thud.

An Ain wearing a robe suddenly landed in front of Eun-ha who had come outside.

It was a Player under Baek Seo-jin.

The Ain relayed telepathy.

The gist was that there would be a meeting at 2 PM, so please be sure to attend.

But the content the Player delivered was a little different from what Eun-ha had heard yesterday.

[...So we request that the people named from now come to the Mana Management Organization headquarters by 2 PM.]

Dobong-gu and Nowon-gu, Zenith Clan.

Gangbuk-gu, Regulus Clan.

Seongbuk-gu, Silla Clan.

Seodaemun-gu, Myeongwang Clan.

Jungnang-gu, Blaze Clan.

Seongdong-gu, Tempest Clan.

Mapo-gu, KK Clan.

Eunpyeong-gu, Donghae Clan.

Dongdaemun-gu, Dangun Clan.

Gwangjin-gu, Samra Clan.

Finally─

[─The representative clan for Yongsan-gu and Jung-gu is Pandora Clan.]

""...."""

Yongsan-gu and Jung-gu, Pandora Clan.

The Player finished those words and immediately disappeared.

The two blinked.

"Oh ho..."

And Eun-ha raised the corners of his mouth.

His shoulders shook.

It was truly delightful.

Pandora Clan is the representative for Jung-gu too?

They had taken Jung-gu into their grasp before they knew it.

[Chapter 170]

[Falling Wings (2)]

Mana Management Organization headquarters.

The expressions of the representatives from each region gathered in the conference room were gloomy.

Understandably so─

"─Except for Pandora Clan, no one was able to take down an army commander..."

""""...."""

Baek Seo-jin's words were the cause.

The representatives responsible for defending each region somehow managed to block the army, but they couldn't actually eliminate the army commanders leading the forces.

If none of the representatives had managed to eliminate an army commander, it would have been frustrating but not shameful.

But of all things, Pandora Clan went and took down an army commander.

Damn, I shouldn't have come early.

Like the Regulus Clan Lord, I should have just come late.

The Dangun Clan Lord and Donghae Clan Lord.

Starting with these two, the Clan Lords who appeared one after another had to listen to Baek Seo-jin's lament, who for some reason was already in the conference room today.

Though Baek Seo-jin merely lamented, for those who follow his orders, a superior's lament tends to make them feel a sense of crisis.

They fidgeted as if they had found the wrong seats.

"Ahem... KK Clan Lord, why is your body in that state? Are you alright?"

"...Thank you for your concern."

At that moment, Regulus Clan Lord Gu Yeon-su, who entered the conference room last among the gathered Clan Lords, opened his mouth.

Unable to bear the awkwardness, he deliberately spoke in a joking tone, but.

KK Clan Lord Hwang San-gun, who was injured by Ye-gyeong's army last night, revealed quite an uncomfortable mood.

In the end, Gu Yeon-su took a step back and turned his gaze to Myeongwang Clan Lord Do Wan-jun, with whom he was friendly.

"Myeongwang Cl..."

"Shut up."

"Yes, sir."

Before Gu Yeon-su could say anything.

Do Wan-jun, with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, immediately shut him up.

It seemed he was in a bad mood after letting Ye-gyeong escape this time.

Gu Yeon-su, confirming that Do Wan-jun was not in a good mood, shrugged as if there was nothing he could do.

Right then─

"─I'm not late, am I?"

"Hello! I'm Jung Ha-yang, Pandora Clan Sub-lord, representing Jung-gu!"

"Oh, Pandora Clan Lord! I heard the news today. They say you took down an army commander with your clan members this time? You really did well. And Ha-yang is attending as Jung-gu's representative? That's amazing."

Noh Eun-ha and Jung Ha-yang entered.

Except for the silly Gu Yeon-su.

The people in the room quietly focused on the two.

""""...."""

He's an unusual guy.

When he was attending the academy, we just thought he was a promising rookie with a bright future.

But Noh Eun-ha became the representative of Yongsan-gu in just one day, and today he even brought Jung-gu under his influence.

Moreover, he took down an army commander with clan members who just graduated from the academy and aren't even properly accustomed to real combat yet.

He's not someone to be underestimated.

He's scary. Does he have not only skill but also the ability to bring districts under his influence in a short time?

Including the grinning Gu Yeon-su.

At this moment, the thoughts of the Clan Lords in charge of representing each district were the same.

While they purely marveled at the achievements Pandora Clan had made this time, they also harbored thoughts that Pandora Clan shouldn't be underestimated.

"─No. You came on time, so it's fine. Well, did you sleep well?"

""""...."""

Meanwhile, Baek Seo-jin's expression changed from sighing just a moment ago.

The Clan Lords groaned watching Baek Seo-jin change to a bright expression and welcome Pandora Clan.

"Now that today's protagonists have arrived, let's start the meeting."

At those words from Baek Seo-jin.

The Clan Lords felt like they were sitting on pins and needles again.

People's gazes changed.

Eun-ha, who attended the meeting, couldn't help but notice that people's gazes towards him had changed.

Probably because we took down an army commander.

Wariness, envy, satisfaction, pride, etc.

Eun-ha thought while receiving the gazes of the Twelve Seats and Clan Lords.

People who had thought of him as just an academy student until yesterday were now showing him respect.

Meanwhile─

"─First, I'm sure you've all heard the news that business groups from Gangnam supported us with supplies this morning. The supplies will be safely distributed to each region by this evening."

""""...."""

Baek Seo-jin's gaze was intense.

He opened his mouth as if proud, looking at Eun-ha.

Everyone was silent.

"I hear Pandora Clan defended Dongjak Bridge, allowing supplies to come in. In my opinion, it's an even greater achievement than killing an army commander, don't you think so too?"

""""That's right!!""""

A question with a predetermined answer.

Some with gloomy expressions.

Some with proud expressions.

The Clan Lords answered in unison.

"Thanks to that, we can breathe easier. We almost had to face those creatures in a state of insufficient supplies."

Baek Seo-jin said.

Sirius Group supplied the most resources, he says.

Those who knew which clan Sirius Group sponsored glanced at Eun-ha again.

Eun-ha unconsciously tensed his shoulders.

"Then let's have the Management Organization staff discuss the distribution of supplies, and though it's a bit late, I'd like to hear today's briefing."

""""...."""

"Controller Mo Ra-yul."

"Yes!"

Soon after, the briefing began.

Mo Ra-yul, who had been sharply rebuked by Baek Seo-jin the day before, reported on the war situation with a very tense face.

"...So, by the time the Zenith Clan Lord arrived at the scene, Ye-gyeong had already disappeared."

"And it appeared in the skies over Jung-gu 30 minutes later, is that right?"

After receiving a report on the movements of the Level 3 overrank Ye-gyeong that appeared last night.

Baek Seo-jin tapped the table with his finger.

"─I'm ashamed."

"I'm sorry."

Perhaps finding it uncomfortable.

Myeongwang Clan Lord Do Wan-jun and KK Clan Lord Hwang San-gun, who had been watching Baek Seo-jin's reactions, apologized.

To this, he shook his head as if awakening from his thoughts.

"No, it's alright. It's not something you need to apologize for. It couldn't be helped since it didn't match your compatibility. I too didn't think that creature would go there among the districts located in Gangbuk. Don't you think so too, Yong-hyun?"

"...Yes, that's right. And if I had arrived at the scene faster, the situation wouldn't have turned out like that."

"Let's stop talking about what's merely hindsight now."

What happened can't be helped.

Though we couldn't do anything about the army commander, we minimized the damage, so you did well.

While comforting them, Baek Seo-jin turned his head to Zenith Clan Lord Ji Yong-hyun sitting right next to him.

"Looking at what that creature does, it's cunning. When you saw it, do you think you can take it down? You must have seen Ye-gyeong at least once."

""""...."""

Those present fell silent.

People waited for Ji Yong-hyun's answer.

Soon, he closed his eyes, finished thinking, and nodded.

"Though <Yamma> and <Thunder Emperor> are absent, I don't think it's impossible. However, I think it's a bit insufficient with just me and my clan members. Since we need to guard Uijeongbu, we can't dispatch all five swords in this situation."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Baek Seo-jin asked.

Ji Yong-hyun looked around and answered again.

"I understand it's difficult to dispatch personnel from other clans, but I know that Jongno-gu and Gangbuk-gu have relatively little damage currently. This is because Zenith Clan is blocking monsters coming down from above."

"So?"

"So if it's alright with the Regulus Clan Lord and Silla Clan Lord, I'd like them to dispatch some personnel. I'd like at least 2 Seven Lions and 2 Six Stars attached."

"If it's about 2 people... Yes, we'll support." "Regulus Clan will support too."

"Thank you."

<First Sword> Ji Yong-hyun's request.

Gu Yeon-su and Kim Yu-jin readily accepted the request.

Ji Yong-hyun expressed his gratitude.

"Hmm... How about taking Su-jin too. Since it's a flying creature, I think we'll need someone who can somewhat counter it."

"Me?"

""""...."""

Showing no interest in the meeting.

Twelve Seats <Silent> Yu Su-jin, who was focused on eating potato chips that came as supplies.

People looked at her in bewilderment as she calmly ate potato chips even in front of Baek Seo-jin.

Even Tempest Clan Lord Kang Ye-hee sighed softly at this.

"...You stay and take care of Ye-gyeong."

"I'll handle Caesar Hopper..." "She says she'll do that."

It seemed even Baek Seo-jin couldn't do anything about her nonchalance.

He showed a troubled expression.

The quick-witted Kang Ye-hee quickly covered Yu Su-jin's mouth and answered instead.

"Let's do that for Ye-gyeong, but how to deal with Caesar Hopper is a problem..."

The discussion about Ye-gyeong ended.

Soon Baek Seo-jin brought up Caesar Hopper.

This time, Tempest Clan Lord Kang Ye-hee and some other Clan Lords who faced it last night bowed their heads.

"Well, Clan Lord Kang Ye-hee. How did it seem when you fought it?"

"It's so quick that it seems difficult to catch with guns. The speed at which it multiplies is fast too, so it seems the number increasing is more than we can take down. Above all, those creatures seem to move around using not a specific area but all of Gangbuk as their activity area." "Ah, yes. According to the reports I received, though Caesar Hopper appeared in eastern Gangbuk last night, the army was confirmed to have appeared throughout the region. Though the number of individuals in each area varies greatly, I think all areas need to prepare countermeasures."

Mo Ra-yul added.

She showed the locations where hopper-type monsters appeared over the two days while flipping through the briefing screen.

Baek Seo-jin sighed.

"The most important thing now might be Caesar Hopper rather than Ye-gyeong. People's morale has dropped as those creatures cleared out food in two days, and I'm worried they might even steal the supplies that came in today."

"Those creatures are moving intelligently following the army commander's instructions. So if we just take down the army commander... it will be easier to deal with them."

"Who doesn't know that... The problem is who and how to take it down."

""""...."""

"If only Hyeon-cheol was here, the situation would have improved... They say even dog poop has its uses, and that saying fits perfectly. A Twelve Seats member who just causes trouble all the time, and when we actually need him, he's nowhere to be seen, really..."

"...I'm sorry, Acting Minister."

"What do you have to be sorry for? Rather, you're the victim."

"Sniff..."

Baek Seo-jin clicked his tongue.

Then the Blaze Clan representative, the administrator who had been keeping his mouth shut until now, suddenly bowed his head.

People nearby could hear the administrator cursing Kang Hyeon-cheol while bowing his head.

"Anyway, fire is perfect for those creatures... Since Hyeon-cheol isn't here, as an alternative, maybe it's better to have some of Blaze Clan's Eight Jades on standby at the Mana Management Organization to respond when Caesar Hopper appears."

"Instead of the shitty Clan Lord who's not here, I'll send 3 of the Eight Jades. The rest need to defend the region, so..."

""""...."""

"It's fine if it's from your clan or even someone from another clan. Isn't there anyone proficient in flame magic? Ah, Hwang San-gun. I hear there's someone in your clan called the <Flame Witch>?"

"...I'm sorry to say, but she's in a coma after being injured facing Ye-gyeong yesterday." "Oh no, tsk..."

"I'm sorry." "It can't be helped."

Flame magic that could incinerate Caesar Hopper and its army in one go.

It seemed Baek Seo-jin judged that even Blaze Clan's Eight Jades were insufficient.

He asked the people gathered if there was no talent that could replace <Yamma>.

The Clan Lords couldn't answer.

Though <Yamma> causes a lot of trouble, we have to acknowledge his skill.

People with awkward expressions.

Eun-ha could understand why they were making such expressions.

There wasn't even anyone proficient enough in flame magic to replace the Eight Jades.

Right then─

"─Hm?"

"Bibi?"

""""...."""

Baek Seo-jin's gaze, which had been looking around those present, fixed on Eun-ha.

Others were the same.

Eun-ha blinked.

Baek Seo-jin raised the corners of his mouth.

"─The Pandora Clan Lord would be perfect."

""""That's right.""""

Even Eun-ha hadn't thought of it.

To the people here, he had already become a substitute for <Yamma>.

It was working.
