Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Encounter (1)

By the next morning, there were a few changes at Geumho Station.

First, that fellow Han Myung-Oh had vanished from Geumho Station.

I had seen him standing behind Cheon Inho and the Mainstream Group people before the fight started, but Han Myung-Oh, who began to disappear after the fight started, was completely nowhere to be found even after the fight ended.

I have no idea if he moved to the next station right after the fight ended, or if he's still hiding somewhere in the station.

"I guess he doesn't plan to travel with us anymore. I never liked that fellow from the start. Besides, he's not the only one who disappeared from the station."

Jung Heewon huffed and criticized Han Myung-Oh. At her words, I looked around Geumho Station.

The appearance of Geumho Station with the traces of last night's massacre still remaining. Thanks to me and Jung Heewon's efforts, quite a few of the outcast group people had survived.

However, by the next morning, most of the Geumho Station people, except for a few, had moved elsewhere without even thanking us. They probably each had their own reasons, but there's no reason I need to know them.

"...Will the remaining people be alright?"

Yoo Sangah looked at the survivors remaining at Geumho Station and asked.

Excluding our party, there were only five people remaining at Geumho Station now.

Jung Heewon, hearing Yoo Sangah's words, raised her voice toward the survivors.

"Hey, you guys. Are you really not coming with us?"

At Jung Heewon's words, the people stirred greatly. Soon after, Dayoung's mother, who had placed a hand on the shoulder of the child named Dayoung, stepped forward and spoke to Jung Heewon as their representative.

"...We'll go separately. We still have some coins left. And thanks to all of you, we survived last night. It seems improper to be indebted to you again."

At Dayoung's mother's words, Jung Heewon nodded her head.

"Alright. I wish you all good luck."

Finishing her words, Jung Heewon turned around, came over to us, and looked at Kim Dokja to speak.

"So, we're going now, right?"

"Yes, we should go now too. Let's depart, then."

At Kim Dokja's words, we answered by nodding our heads instead. Seeing the party members nod, Kim Dokja himself also nodded, then turned his head and spoke.

"Let's go."

Entering the railroad tracks like that, we were walking when Jung Heewon suddenly patted my shoulder.

[Received 1000 coins from Incarnation Jung Heewon.]

"This is?"

"I'm sharing. I'd feel bad eating it alone."

".....Is that so? Well, thank you, I'll accept it."

At my answer, Jung Heewon smiled and distributed coins to the other party members as well.

Around the time we received the coins and were crossing the railroad tracks heading toward Yaksu, a scenario window appeared.
