chapter 35
35 – Discipline 16. The leader encourages his colleagues
“You just came because you wanted to talk, right?”
Kim Dal-bi, who was riding on the swing alongside Oh Baek-seo, opened her mouth.
When the white paper did not respond, Dalbi continued her words with her smiling face.
“… I’ve been under a lot of control lately. Then these days, the boundaries have become a bit looser, so that’s when I came to visit you? “It looks like ‘that person’s’ condition has also worsened significantly.”
Security drones systemized to detect stories about the headmaster are hovering throughout the city. These were what Dalbi called ‘listening ears.’
So, conscious of her listening ears, Dalby referred to ‘the headmaster’ as ‘that person.’
“Tell me about the manager first.”
The white paper narrowed her eyes and spoke in a stern tone.
“When you ask for just 3 minutes, doesn’t that mean we’ve been allowed about 3 minutes since we met?”
“Well, actually, that 3 minutes is just a rough estimate, and it could be shorter. Actually, there is nothing to talk about at length.”
Dalbi handed Baek Seo a folded piece of letter paper.
“This. If you see it, dispose of it by burning it or eating it.”
It was a letter with something to say written on it.
It was obvious that there would not be enough time to talk anyway, so I prepared it.
White Paper opened the letter and read it.
“… ….”
She soon had a thunderstorm and immediately burned her letter paper.
Dalbi smiled majestically and spread her index finger upward.
“What I’m going to talk about from now on is the intro to a movie….”
At that moment, Dalby stopped her words and narrowed her eyes. This was because the movements of the ‘listening ears’, that is, the security drones moving around the area, became more unnatural than usual.
“… It won’t work. “I already noticed.”
The principal had noticed that Dalbi had disappeared.
Dalbi got up from the swing, looked down at the white paper with a mischievous smile, and placed his index finger on his lips.
“Today’s work is a secret. Since I gave you the information, are you going to be quiet? ‘Hey, next time I see you, I’ll be your enemy.’ “Let’s end it with just this feeling.”
White Paper blinked his eyes and sighed.
“Can I ask one question?”
“No.”
“Why did you leave? From me.”
Baekseo remembered the half year he spent with Dalbi.
Dalbi pondered, “Hmm.”
The memory that suddenly flashed through her mind was Woo-jin and Baek-seo walking together on New Yongsan Street.
Dalbi answered while maintaining her smiling face.
“I don’t think it would be meaningful to tell you now. “Because it was my choice.”
“… ….”
“I’m doing well. See you later….”
Sreung!
“Oh.”
Suddenly penetrating sword attack.
Dalbi flexibly tilted her upper body behind her to avoid her sword strike, making her gasp. She was a time when her body was slowly blooming like flower petals with colorful flames.
In front of Dalbi’s eyes.
The white paper holding her sword was glaring coldly at Dalbi herself.
“I didn’t say I would send it.”
“Is it already too late?”
Dalbi smiles slyly.
Howling!
In an instant, Dalbi’s body was covered in flames, and the sword was drawn again, cutting through the flames.
Growing. The flames dying down.
Dalbi had already disappeared.
It looks like he was preparing to use an escape technique from the beginning. Dalby had no intention of fighting at all.
“… “It’s a cumbersome ability.”
The white paper sighed softly.
……
[ You must never reveal what you are seeing! To be precise, only the parts related to the principal. ]
In the end, Oh Baek-seo was unable to find the missing Kim Dal-bi.
It was late.
Baek Seo briefly went grocery shopping and recalled the contents of the letter Dalby showed her on the way home.
[ The reason your leader was targeted recently was because of light retaliation from the principal. You collapsed Anomia, which the headmaster was secretly raising, right? I don’t know why the headmaster secretly grew such an organization or why he only grew it to that size, so think about it yourself. ]
It was about the reason why the New Yongsan Street incident occurred two weeks ago. Thanks to this, the white paper was able to understand the context of the incident.
[ Anyway, for now, it seems like they are trying to wait and see the situation for some reason. I don’t know if he changed his mind or got senile. ]
When Baek Seo read that paragraph, he realized why Dalby had called him.
At the time, there was little time for conversation, and we had to quickly understand the contents of the letter. Meanwhile, with the white paper, I would have been able to quickly understand the story about the principal.
[ And be careful. ]
Next, Dalbi wrote down other important information.
[ One of the six criminals is hiding in your academy. As a student. I don’t know who it is, but don’t be fooled easily. You can keep this information in your mouth. Please discuss with your manager. ]
With that, the contents of the letter in my memory ended.
“… ….”
One of the six criminals is hiding at Asung High School.
He was worried about whether to believe that or not. To begin with, isn’t Kim Dal-bi, one of the six criminals, a trustworthy person?
However, it was not easy for White Paper to guess what benefit Dalby could gain by telling such a lie.
Then is this information given to you as an old friend?
This was also unknown.
Baekseo has already arrived at Woojin’s house.
Tiririk.
The white paper naturally opened the door lock and went inside.
“… White book?”
“Huh?”
Then the white paper pauses.
Moisture touching the skin.
Soon, a naked Woojin, who was wiping his head with a towel, came into Baekseo’s visible range.
Baekseo reflexively swallowed a sigh of relief as Woojin’s bare skin came into view.
There was silence for a moment.
Woojin looked down at his body.
Wheeik!
I quickly kicked off the floor and dived into the nearest room.
Cow! Woojin’s body hit the floor and a sound of impact rang out.
“Oh my….”
The white paper let out a soft exclamation without realizing it.
My feet couldn’t move for a while.
No matter how white the paper was, it was difficult to maintain composure. She was a girl who had never been able to satisfy her s*xual curiosity. She could only barely manage her facial expressions.
“… ….”
White Paper quietly covered his mouth with his hand.
Funny enough, Woojin’s naked body dramatically drove away Baekseo’s worries like a storm, completely taking over her mind.
……
“Kim Dal-bi left a letter, and it contained the information that ‘one of the six criminals is hiding as a student at Asung High School.’ . “Is this it?”
Ahn Woo-jin and Oh Baek-seo were wearing aprons and preparing the ingredients they had purchased together. Woojin summarized what the white paper had said so far.
In fact, it was so literal that it could not even be called a summary.
The white paper nodded his head.
“And the letter burned.”
Woojin thought that the information was true.
‘Six criminals to be released this time…’ . ‘It’s not that you breached Aseong High School’s security, but you were a student at Aseong High School from the beginning?’
It was a hypothesis I had already made, but since there were no clues, I wasn’t sure.
However, thanks to the contents of the letter that Dalby left behind, weight was added to that hypothesis.
‘There’s no confirmation right now, but it’s okay to think about the possibility…. It will come up during the practical evaluation. ‘I have to look for the suspect.’
Six sinners will appear during the practical evaluation.
However, this did not mean that the practical evaluation would be cancelled. Otherwise, it is impossible to know when and how the six criminals will act again. The risk would become ridiculously large.
So, it would be better to identify the suspect during the practical evaluation, guard him secretly, and catch him. It’s best if you catch it before then.
‘Anyway….’
Woojin glared at the white paper.
“Why did you go alone?”
I couldn’t understand.
Even though he sensed Dalbi’s presence, he went alone without saying a word to himself.
“It’s too dangerous.”
“It looks like I have something to talk about. You left a trace that only I could feel, right? “If I had taken the manager with me, Kim Dal-bi might have run away.”
“Why did I only call you?”
“I don’t know about that.”
“… ….”
Woojin thought it was because Dalbi felt pressured to meet him.
Rather than that.
“It’s a white paper.”
“Huh?”
Woojin approached Baekseo.
There was a height difference. The tip of the white paper’s head stopped at Woojin’s lips. Because of this, Woojin looked down at the white paper.
Baekseo looked into Woojin’s eyes without saying a word. Subdued air. The usual kind smile did not appear on the white paper’s mouth.
‘I know this kid is more capable than me, but… , this one was too much. It was a suspicious situation to anyone’s surprise.’
It seemed like Baekseo was worried about Woojin himself and went to see Dalbi alone. Since Baek Seo’s clash with Dal-bi two weeks ago, he is worried about Woo-jin and is trying to stick with him.
Even so, he could not respect that feeling, so Woojin resolved to scold Baekseo. Because he showed a tendency not to rely on himself and his leaders.
If Baekseo had been ambushed, Woojin would not have noticed right away. It was dizzying just to imagine it.
Even the opponent was the strong Kim Dal-bi.
It was very dangerous.
So, unless there were unavoidable circumstances, Woojin decided that as the manager, it was necessary to press Baek Seo, who did not rely on the leadership department.
“Whether you called the leader or told me, didn’t you have to come up with a plan? Whatever the reason, if you went alone and there was an ambush by enemies….”
“…… !”
“?”
As Woojin approached to scold Baekseo, he took a step back.
‘What is it?’
Woojin is embarrassed.
As I took a step closer, the white paper retreated again.
“I’m sorry… , by making a mistake in judgment. There’s no shame in missing it. “I will reflect on it.”
“But why are you suddenly avoiding me?”
“So?”
Even though it is clearly a situation where serious things are going to be discussed… , Baekseo was unable to calm down as Woojin approached.
This was because attention was focused on Woojin’s skin.
The human brain has achieved amazing results. After the memory data of seeing Woojin’s naked body was clearly stored in my mind, I went through the process of outputting it. As a result, Woojin in front of me was seen naked.
A s*xy male approaches.
With that thought in mind, I couldn’t concentrate on what Woojin was saying.
“I’m sorry, Manager.”
The white paper tried hard to control his expression, but he could not calm his feelings.
“It’s a little close…” .”
I barely managed to gently express my request to stay away from him. Woojin also accepted that meaning.
However, there was no way that the intention of the white paper was properly conveyed.
‘… ‘Could it be because I tried to scold you that you created a sense of distance?’
Or wasn’t there something that couldn’t be said?
All sorts of worries bloomed in Woojin’s heart.
I couldn’t let the situation pass like this.
I am sorry, but I have decided not to easily comply with the wishes of the white paper.
“It’s a white paper.”
Woojin grabbed Baekseo’s shoulder to prevent her from running away.
The white paper’s body trembled.
Looking straight into her eyes, the white paper made a conscious effort to hold the corner of her mouth that was about to rise. However, I couldn’t avoid the blush appearing on my cheeks.
Soon, Woojin spoke in a serious tone.
“If there is something uncomfortable, tell me.”
This physical contact is uncomfortable.
“Honestly, what happened?”
I have seen your naked body and private parts.
“… Woojin?”
In the end, her name, not ‘Manager’, came out of Baek Seo’s mouth. Woojin immediately realized that this was a coercive expression of its own.
The white paper began to flash her usual caring smile, but her voice trembled slightly.
“I’m a little embarrassed today. “Can you please refrain?”
“… ….”
“… ….”
“… Ah.”
It was only after Baek Seo expressed his honest feelings that Woo Jin understood the situation.
The heavy air suddenly turned strange.
After that, the two ate curry rice together, pretending to be natural and having an awkward conversation.
“Sleep well.”
“Yes….”
After Baek Seo left, Woo Jin quietly looked at her entrance for a while.
‘My weight….’
She sat down.
“Ugh….”
Her feelings of shame and skepticism came in succession.
Woojin felt the heat rising to her head, covered her face with her hands and sighed.
