「 Lee Hyunsung was dozing like an officer on duty, 」

Perhaps there would be such a description in Ways of Survival. And maybe there was this sentence.

「 Maybe Lee Hyunsung didn't know. What would happen to him today? 」

"Hyunsung-ssi?"

"...Ah, hmm, I fell asleep for a moment. Dokja-ssi, are you well rested?"

"Yes, I'm fine. By the way, you were talking. Officer on duty..."

"Eh, really?"

"Something about Second Class Soldier Lee Hyunsung..."

Lee Hyunsung's face turned red.

"T-That... Just a trauma from my days as a soldier."

"Days as a soldier? Isn't Lee Hyunsung an officer?"

"That...I was transferred to the third unit when I was a corporal."

"I heard these cases are rare. You must've been well-suited for the army."

Lee Hyunsung laughed. It was a laugh that Dokja could understand. There were few people well-suited for the army. The people who remained didn't fit elsewhere.

Then it was time to throw a small stone.

"Still, I'm glad that Lee Hyunsung-ssi is here.

"Huh?"

"I'm relieved when Lee Hyunsung-ssi blocks in front. It feels like someone is protecting me."

"...Is that so?"

Lee Hyunsung smiled slightly. It was a weak smile, but it was certainly a comforting smile. After exchanging brief greetings, he separated from Lee Hyunsung.

In the original third round development of Ways of Survival, Lee Hyunsung experienced a character evolution by protecting the people at Gumho Station from the Cheoldoo Group. But Kim Namwoon took that chance.

Now Quake, Cyclone, Yoo Sangah, Kim Namwoon and Lee Gilyoung were approaching him. Dokja faced them.

"Did you see the demonstration? Just do what I did."

"Yes. Well...pretty much. But why do we have to do this?"

There was a reason for it.

[The character 'Lee Hyunsung' has started to feel responsible.]

Lee Hyunsung was currently wiping his shield with an innocent expression.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint was a scam. At least, as far as 'characters' went.

"I want to help Hyunsung-ssi. He looks a bit down these days. Won't he feel better if you cheer him up?"

Dokja said it for Lee Hyunsung's sake. Then Quake nodded his head.

"Is it the saying 'dance like a while at praise?'"

"It is similar."

"I understand. I'll give it a try!"

Unlike Yoo Sangah, Kim Namwoon had an uncertain expression.

"Ahjussi."

"Yes."

"Your sponsor isn't something like 'One-Eyed Fortuneteller', right?"

"...What is that?"

"You don't know?"

Well, there was something like this.

"It isn't that. I have a special skill. It is a skill that understands people well."
