I Became the Younger Sister of the Game's Villain - Chapter 4.3
Gu Seo Bok would never figure out why I had been wandering around like this, so it was safe.
“Where else are you going?!” he shouted when he saw the navigation, which I’d already input my destination into. “Where else?” he shouted.
“This is the last one.”
Gu Seo Bok seemed somewhat relieved by my blunt answer.
The corners of my mouth twitched as I looked at the side of him who didn’t know what to do.
‘I’m walking into hell on my own two feet.’
* * *
“When are we going home?”
His disheveled hair, he was almost crying, as he dropped onto the table.
Sucking through the straw, I drank iced tea.
Gulp, gulp.
The ice clinked with each swirl of the cup.
“Come on,” I said, “you’ve been driving so much you’ve got a sore a*s.”
“No, what I mean is, it’s not about going somewhere to rest. Let’s go to the guild, that’s what I meant…….”
I wondered why he didn’t go out much.
Gu Seo Bok groaned, and collapsed again.
The place I dragged him to was a well-known franchise cafe in Sillim-dong.
So, the location right in front of our noses where the portal would burst open.
I checked my phone with an indifferent face.
PM 3:47.
‘Hmm.’
Still a bit left.
I rested my chin with a bored expression.
Whether people in this world knew it or not, portals also had a regular cycle.
There’s the ‘Sudden’, of course, where A-rank and higher channels open up.
And then there’s the “natural extinction” of lower-ranked channels that naturally disappear over time, where everything is random.
However, ‘Common’ portals, which opened and closed in a similar vicinity, were different.
They were bound to be generated at least 6-7 days after closing, and the structure of opening portals was always the same.
In short, it was a free-for-all hunting ground.
The kind of thing you only use at the start because the rewards are low.
The Sillim portal I visited was on its 7th day, and had fully cooled down.
There was no doubt in my mind that it would happen today.
But as far as I can tell, the portal appearance time around here is…….
‘About 30 seconds.’
“If you wander around like this, even the guild leader will worry. You know, that dummy.”
’20 seconds.’
“Especially these days, the guild atmosphere is a bit off, so even a young lady like you should stay healthy.”
’10 seconds.’
“The only family we have…”
Ding.
Looking at the phone screen that now displayed 4 o’clock, I grit my teeth.
It seems it will appear a bit later.
I came prepared to wait for this much, considering there is a margin of error, but if it’s not today, then tomorrow, I would have to bring Gu Seo Bok here again.
That would be quite bothersome.
I sipped my iced tea, bland from the diluted ice.
At that moment.
Beep―.
A sharp sound made my spine straighten.
The red alarm beep began to ring loudly inside the cafe.
【1419 Nambugwanhun-ro, 131-gil Nambugwanhun-ro C-rank portal emergence. Residents nearby, please be cautious about your safety. Civilian movement within a 1km radius is restricted.】
A red siren emoji attached message blinked on the smartphone screen.
Aeaeaeang.
The siren sound echoed, and sounds of chairs creaking and objects collapsing were heard from various places.
Gu Seo Bok was no exception.
The chair he was sitting on toppled over.
I was the only one sitting calmly.
“Miss.”
A strong grip grabbed my wrist.
The expression that was flustered had become a cold and blank one.
I slapped his hand away as he tried to pull me out of the cafe.
He froze for a moment and stared at me.
Like a huge shadow descending, everything in front of my eyes gradually turned pitch black.
‘Nope. We’re not leaving.’
And this portal, I will be the one to break it.
I closed my eyes affectionately and smiled.
A C-rank portal in Silim-dong.
It was the essential starting point for obtaining the ‘Resonance Stone.’
