Are you speaking concerning the coastal cliff in entrance of the cathedral. It’s a spot I went alone as a result of I didn’t wish to fear you each time I used to be in a sophisticated frame of mind, however I feel Heo-sang all the time adopted secretly and watched it. Simeon stated, looking on the cliff exterior the window that seemed significantly just like the place.

“It was a cliff in entrance of me, however I wasn’t significantly scared. All I may take into consideration was leaping off like I used to be possessed by one thing. However… he all of a sudden appeared and blocked me.”

Simeon’s countenance grew darker and darker as he recalled the time.

“I ignored it and tried to leap, however he simply caught his foot out within the air. It seemed like he would leap first if I moved yet one more step. Ever since, he’s all the time been following me in no matter harmful habits I do …With a really shiny smile, like he was telling me to.”

Shaking his head helplessly, he smiled as if he had given up every thing.

“It was like he was telling me that if I wished to die, I needed to kill him first.”

For Simeon, John’s hallucination was the explanation for his determination to die, and the one cause why he couldn’t die. Then again, I used to be relieved and anxious that his decision was solely tried a number of occasions. Heo-sang was an individual who by no means gave up and achieved his objective.

“So, I assumed…I’ll erase him from my reminiscence, even when it means to die.”

The black eyes that I assumed have been lifeless shone with dedication. He was nonetheless wishing for dying. Even when it meant eradicating all of the recollections, even essentially the most superb ones, those that have been now poison.

“I’m in search of that means now. Thankfully, I used to be woke up by the misfortune, and it was not lengthy earlier than that.”

I used to be listening quietly, and an concept flashed by way of my thoughts. He needs to erase his reminiscence of John and is in search of a means. And due to being an awakening, it’s not far off. This phrase meant just one factor.

“No means… Are you in search of a memory-erasing spirit?”

Erase the reminiscence. Is there a spirit with such an unrealistic means? No, it’s doable as a result of it’s a present. Thus far, the spirits have carried out miracles that aren’t scientifically defined a number of occasions. Subsequently, the spirit that erases recollections is just unknown to the world, and it might exist someplace.

So the actual cause why Heo-sang turned a hunter…

‘Within the first place, the Apostles have been based by the Guild Chief to make the gathering of spirit objects extra environment friendly.’

Beginning with Raphael’s phrases that all of a sudden got here to thoughts, questions that had inadvertently handed by got here to thoughts one after the other.

Why did Simeon, who preferred to be alone, arrange a guild, and why he collected spirits with no break. And what was the which means of what he stated whereas willingly handing over the A-rank spirit to me.

‘Why are you giving this to me? Don’t you want it greater than I do?’

‘I assumed so, however sadly I wasn’t in search of it.’

Simeon has been in search of since he turned a hunter. A spirit that may erase recollections.

As quickly as I used to be about to ask if my suspicions have been right, Simeon stated, letting go of the hand he was holding evenly.

“I’m sorry, nevertheless it’s the Apostle’s inner secret there.”

A significant smile drew a particular line between us. His calm eyes appeared to warn me to not cross any additional. If I compelled myself to cross the road, I might by no means see him once more.

Simeon smiled with satisfaction as I quietly closed my mouth, which was flinching to talk.

“I apologise for hurting you… and for overlapping him with Shin Hajae-ssi.”

“No, I don’t…”

“I don’t know why, however once I see Shin Ha-jae, I consider him. You don’t look precisely like him… Surprisingly, whenever you’re round, his hallucinations are getting blurred.”

Simeon has been in search of since he turned a hunter. A spirit that may erase recollections.

As quickly as I used to be about to ask if my expectation was right, Simeon stated, letting go of the hand he was holding evenly.

“I’m sorry, nevertheless it’s the Apostle’s inner secret there.”

A significant smile drew a transparent line between us. I’m right here, you’re there. His calm eyes appeared to warn him to not come over any extra. I felt like I might by no means see him once more if I compelled myself to cross the road.

Simeon smiled with satisfaction as he quietly closed his mouth, which was flinching to talk.

“I apologize for hurting you. Shin Hajae… And what I’ve seen on prime of him.”

“No, I don’t…”

“I don’t know why, however once I see Shin Ha-jae, I consider him. You don’t look precisely like him… Surprisingly sufficient, whenever you’re round, his hallucinations get blurred.”

Is it as a result of the ambiance is just like that of John? Or did you instinctively discover that I used to be the identical particular person. I murmured, avoiding his eyes, as if his straight eyes have been penetrating me.

“It’s simply your creativeness.”

“It didn’t matter if it was simply me or something.”

Simeon, who casually hit again, all of a sudden reached out to me. By some means, I couldn’t keep away from it regardless that he got here so slowly, and I used to be in a position to keep away from it sufficient. No, I didn’t wish to keep away from it, so I stayed nonetheless. Then Simeon paused earlier than my eyes, as if to present him a final likelihood, and stated,

“Wouldn’t I be grasping even if you happen to have been Shin Ha-jae? I’ve heard that I may not go loopy due to who I’m.”

(TL/N: “신하재 씨 같아도 욕심나지 않겠어요? 내가 누군가로 인해서 미치 지 않을 수 있다는데.” I need assistance lol)

The black eyes, seen by way of his lengthy fingers, have been immersed in a somber mild. I couldn’t discover something to say and closed my eyes, and shortly his hand touched the wound on my brow. The chilly temperature shook my shoulders with out realizing it. Nonetheless, the contact turned a bit of bolder as a result of it was not pushed away.

The fingers rubbing my brow handed by way of my trembling eyelids, and slid down my hardened cheeks in pressure, solely to cease at my jaws. Raindrops, which have been as chilly as ice, appeared to circulation down the pores and skin and kind on the jawline. Lastly, all I may really feel within the room the place I couldn’t even hear his breath was his physique temperature.

Simply when he thought the contact was over, one thing chilly quickly touched my lips. Once I opened my eyes, I may see Simeon’s face that was simply across the nook. His eyes weren’t smiling in any respect, however his lips had a imply smile as ordinary.

“However that’s sufficient.”

“…Simeon.”

“I’m sorry to have dragged you into one thing unrelated.”

He appeared to don’t have any regrets when he approached me and left. I used to be the one one who was absent-minded. Not figuring out whether or not it was his lips or fingers that touched my lips, I stiffened like a tree frozen by frost on a winter evening.

Simeon, however, informed me every thing and relaxed.

“Have you ever solved all of your questions now? I feel it was sufficient to pay for the damage.”

Not resolved. What precisely is his function, what’s his plan to realize it, and what occurs to him when he lastly succeeds and forgets all about John. It’s all questionable.

I received’t let you know simply, however I couldn’t again down like this. If there’s a spirit that basically erases recollections, it’s what I would like most than anybody else. I have to take away Heo-sang from my head earlier than dying involves swallow me.

“Wait. I nonetheless have one thing to say…”

Once I spoke urgently, the door burst open. Raphael, who was getting into together with his cellphone in his pocket, was delighted as quickly as he noticed Simeon sitting in his mattress.

“Oh, guild chief!”

Raphael approached at a shuffling tempo and instantly inquired about Simeon’s well-being.

“Are you all proper? Something harm?”

“Sure. Thanks.”

“Ha, that’s a aid. I used to be so fearful. As you stated, I saved this a secret from the opposite apostles, however I couldn’t maintain it going. You don’t come out for 2 weeks, and there’s no signal of you consuming. I don’t even wish to think about what would have occurred if Ha-jae hadn’t helped me. “

Whereas Raphael was speaking nonstop, Simeon remained silent and listened to his ideas. Quickly afterwards, when he completed talking with a deep sigh, Simeon opened his mouth with a smile as if he had waited.

“Thanks for considering of me, however don’t interact unrelated individuals any further.”

The tone of mild exhortation sounded considerably chilly. I don’t assume I’m going to say this to somebody who sincerely fearful about me, however I didn’t need to be a part of ‘an unrelated particular person’.

Raphael glanced at me embarrassedly and gulped down his dry saliva.

“That’s… I’m sorry. However I actually thought the guild chief….”

“What was the value of treating me?”

“What?”

“I used to be questioning what gemstone you used.”

When requested to chop off the circulation, Raphael answered vaguely.

“…a black diamond gemstone.”

“Nicely. I’m glad it’s not uncommon. I’ll put it on the accounting crew later.”

He didn’t imply to harm his emotions. Simeon’s nodding face was fairly critical. However that’s much more hurtful. I don’t assume he even give me an opportunity to fret within the first place.

After some time, Raphael’s voice got here out of his mouth in an uncharacteristically low voice.

“I didn’t do it for compensation.”

“You haven’t forgotten the contract we made, have you ever?”

“That’s… No, however….”

I don’t know what the Apostle’s contract is, however Raphael didn’t complain anymore. The fixed throbbing throat appeared to be forcibly swallowing what it wished to say. However Simeon continues to be solely wanting. A face with no motion appeared like an individual who didn’t understand it was emotion.

“So, whereas I used to be away, was every thing okay with the spirits?”

I can’t consider he’s speaking about work straight away… He was an individual who was relentless to himself and to his colleagues. Earlier than lengthy, Raphael’s face was crammed with despair. Opposite to expectations, the frustration doesn’t final lengthy, and plainly he has skilled this case a number of occasions up to now.

“If you happen to’re referring to the <Blue Hope>, it’s solely a precursor.”

“That’s a aid.”

“It’s simply… it was on the verge of a runaway, and three of the guards defending the spirit fell down.”

“Have been they injured?”

“No trauma, however they stated he all of a sudden coughed up blood.”

<Blue Hope>. The title sounded acquainted. In the meantime, Simeon was attempting to finish the dialog as if his enterprise had already ended.
