Chapter 255: Mu of Medsang (5)

"Noah is always real to me. Whether it's acknowledged or not, the thought of him being fake is impossible from the start."

Before I could say, "Oh, that person is fake," would they actually become fake? Sigma... well, he's a bit ambiguous.

"Besides, Noah..."

I was about to say, "Would you really want to stay here?" but swallowed my words. If this wasn't a world on the brink of destruction. Then, which is better between Noah and Mu... It wasn't my place to say, but Noah had definitely said he was envious.

I turned to Noah. He was looking at Sigma with a slightly hardened expression.

"To think that you might stay here, what does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it sounds like. If you covet someone else's place, why not take it? The current Mu already belongs to you."

Noah's brow slightly furrowed at the suggestion that trying wouldn't hurt.

"I'm not the real Mu."

"So what? I'm not asking you to do the impossible, just to take the seat that's already there. You're quite the troublemaker."

Noah's face turned cold at Sigma's openly disdainful expression. This could be dangerous. Sigma's actions just now reminded me of someone. Like Riette

"He really does resemble you, but yoojiin. I'd rather have the Guild Master Sesung."

"Is it that damn Sung Hyunjae again? If someone similar to me hears your praise, they might find it unpleasant. It's no good."

"Enough, Sigma!"

They're really going to fight openly. Why is Noah like this? Is it because he was forcibly dragged here? ...Well, it's understandable. That guy seems to have a long fuse too.

"If you're not the Guild Master SeSung, then there's no need for both of you here, right?"

Noah said coldly. Wait a minute.

"There's a patient here!"

Surely they're not going to fight here. Noah reassured me and raised one hand. At the same time, Sigma pulled out his chains.

Thunk!

The golden chains embedded themselves into the walls on both sides of the room. As Sigma's hand tightly gripped the pulled chains, a circular shape appeared beneath his feet. Beyond the circle, an indiscernible surface was trembling. It was a teleportation portal. If Sigma, who didn't have the ability to fly, hadn't used his combat foresight, he would have been dropped somewhere else without any resistance.

"It seems you can't move the opponent directly without touching them."

Sigma lightly jumped up onto the chains like a gymnast and spoke. As he erased the portal, Noah raised an eyebrow.

"I was trying to send you off safely. After all, you can't use your combat skills within this facility. Please be careful with your actions."

"Indeed, I am weaker than you right now. So, C-rank."

Clang! As the chains were retracted, Sigma descended. And he approached me, sitting next to me. His golden eyes narrowed as he showed a hint of a smile.

"Protect me."

...What a bother.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Yoojin-ssi!"

"Nonsense? C-class said he would protect me first."

Noah's expression was greatly disturbed by Sigma's words.

"Is that really true? He's lying,right?"

"Well, it's partially true...."

I did ask him that I'll protect him . But I didn't expect him to actually take this seriously. Though even if my attack skill is sealed, my stats should still be SS-grade.

"And the C-class is mine, That's what we agreed on."

"Y-Yujin-ssi?"

"...That's also partially true. I didn't explain in detail about the dungeon strategy earlier, but Sigma said that he has to stay safe here. That's all. We needed him to leave, so we're protecting him."

"You said you would take responsibility. Are you changing your mind already?"

"No, it's just... Step back, please!"

I pushed Sigma to the side. Even though I'm obviously much weaker, he obediently stepped back and stared at me intently. Noah also looked at me with a resentful gaze.

"...As long as that person stays safe."

"He just needs to stay alive."

It wasn't me who answered. It was Yoohyun's voice. My brother, who had woken up without me realizing, rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I don't know what's going on."

"Yoohyun, are you okay? I told you I purposely put you to sleep."

"Irin woke me up. ...What's this?"

I quickly stopped my brother from pulling out the IV needle. Despite being reluctant due to the explanation of it being a neutralizer, I didn't let him pull it out.

"So if you don't like it, you can attack as much as you want."

My younger brother instigated a fight. He even grabbed my arm to prevent me from intervening. No, why would he let them fight here? And now is not the time to have even one more hand. Losing an SS-grade is a big loss when we don't know what's going to happen.

"...I have no intention of attacking. I was just trying to send him away earlier."

"Noah, I'm really sorry, but it seems like we should keep Sigma by our side."

"Why are you apologizing, Y-Yujin-ssi? And... what you said wasn't wrong. I can't even properly hold onto the position I've taken and I'm already feeling anxious."

"What? No, don't listen to that guy! It's only natural to feel uncomfortable because Mu is someone else. Noah is normal."

That shameless sigma. Noah smiled wryly at Sigma's words and then looked at me again.

"Now that hunter Han Yoohyun has woken up, you should eat first. I heard that you haven't had a proper meal yesterday and today. The members of the Akates and Lanchaea  are all inside those who are injured are also being treated."

They took care of everyone else too. I got up from my seat and approached Noah, who was trying to leave the ward.

"Noah, I never think that you're in the wrong. You're truly a good person. At least, that's how I see it. Myeongwoo and the people in the guild probably think the same."

"...Thank you."
