City of Backstreet Nymphs - Chapter 22



22 – 022 – Trolley Dilemma # 2

022 – Trolley Dilemma # 2

I liked that the house was spacious.

Even though many people were sitting in the living room, it didn’t feel cramped.

Seo Ye-rim and Yu-ari.

As the two women looked at each other and exuded a strange atmosphere, Yua-ri opened her mouth first.

“Yerim-ah, we talked on the phone earlier, but I heard a lot about you. I hear you’re active in the T-class rift these days? And develop new technologies. It’s really great.”

It was like a sincere compliment.

As far as I know, I thought the two of them were rivals, but without that, they just seemed to be on good terms.

Startled-.

At that time, Oinoi, who was sitting behind me and holding my body like a shield, trembled.

After Oi Noi glanced over my shoulder at Yua-ri, she held out her chopsticks.

“… This oinoi also wants to eat meat… !”

What Oinoi is aiming for is the slightly cooled and hardened pork belly on the plate.

Oh Noi, who had been hiding in the room until just now, came out to the living room like this after Seo Ye-rim came and picked up leftover pork belly and ate it.

“Muhhh…. This cucumber, this lettuce wraps the meat and eats it…. You can feel the harmonious energy of the forest… ! It turned out well at the moment when I was very hungry… !”

Oinoi said he was hungry.

Even if she had closed the door, it wouldn’t have been able to stop the smell of grilling pork belly.

There was something I left out to bake separately, but when I was contemplating whether to take it out, Seo Ye-rim said.

“Me too, Ari, I’ve heard a lot about you. I heard that you also collaborated with Osa Group to develop this and that? Why did you come here?”

“You told me over the phone earlier. Ha Il-do said that senior moved to a new house with a well. So I just thought of the old days and came for a housewarming party.”

“Really?”

Seo Ye-rim now looked at me with thin eyes.

It was as if she was asking if this statement was true. When I moderately agreed, “Right,” Seo Ye-rim nodded her head in agreement.

“I see. I also thought that Osa Pharma was trying to contact the Awoken to conduct a bizarre experiment. Because here is a specimen that crossed the D-Class to C-Class barrier over a long period of time.”

Does specimen refer to me?

The wall from Class D to Class C was high and steep, so it was difficult to overcome. Did you say that a decision will be made in one or two years after achieving D-class?

I’ve been in D-class for almost, well, more than 8 years, so my promotion to C-class was quite unusual.

Seo Ye-rim added her words.

“I don’t like procrastinating on things, so I’ll be honest. Yuari, if you are thinking of approaching this guy and doing strange experiments, stop.”

What is a strange experiment?

Yua Li frowned as I was wondering.

She felt very afraid when the usual gentle and sad person frowned.

“It is still the same as saying everything you want to say and living your life. I told you. I just came here for housewarming. And I don’t work with Ossa Group anymore. I am an institutional health practitioner.”

Shut-.

Saying the above, Yuari stood up.

“Senior, I need to wake up. If we stay like this, we will only tire each other out. It’s a nuisance to come home in a good mood.”

Shut-.

It was Yuari who went out to the shoe closet and put on shoes.

Seo Ye-rim sat in her seat with her arms crossed and didn’t even move her.

I think it must have been the two of them fighting just now, and it seemed like Yuari was in a bad mood trying to leave.

What am I supposed to do here?

Yuari was already out in the yard. She

She felt it earlier when she was cooking her stew while grilling the meat, but she acted very quickly. Is this what she feels like a body wave awakening person?

“Kore Yerim kicked Yuari out… ! This oi noi, finally I can shout and walk around comfortably in this house… !”

Warak-.

Oi Noi raised her hand in delight.

It looks as if it has gained independence from imperialism.

When Seo Ye-rim snorted, “Hey,” I was troubled.

What should I do here?

It was a moment when I remembered something like a trolley dilemma.

Of course, it would be right to follow Yuari.

So I went out with Yua Lee, who was looking around in the yard, blowing on his hand.

“They say there’s a little bit left before the taxi arrives.”

“Let’s go inside. You can go in and wait.”

“It’s okay. But to tell you one thing for sure, I just really came home. I had no intention of experimenting with seniors. Oh, I don’t even do love affairs anymore.”

I was quite concerned about the story of the experiment that I had been hearing about for a while.

However, since I wasn’t too stupid, I knew vaguely that various organizations and companies had been experimenting with ‘Awakeners’ for a long time.

The fact that Yuari worked with pharmaceutical-based Ohsa Group.

The fact that she is now working as a public health doctor made me worry in many ways.

“Then, senior, I’ll go.”

A taxi arrived before I knew it.

Yuari took a taxi and went away.

I returned to the house with a sense of absurdity and perplexity.

When I came back, Oinoi was grilling and eating meat.

“Kore Ye-rim lights up a magic flame and cooks the meat… ! The meat is being grilled even though there is no flame…. This induction is obviously the witch’s magic flame… !”

Oi Noi was chattering in her kitchen as if she had been hiding. The back of Seo Ye-rim, who is standing in front of an induction stove and grilling meat, is quite surreal.

I asked her back.

“What happened?”

“I came to check if something happened because you didn’t contact me. This house has many unknown corners. It’s also the place where the anomalous rift formed.”

Then Oi Noi raised her hand.

“This oi noi, every day I pick up what is called her patronage coin from under her bed… ! I don’t know why, but the coins sometimes grow on their own… ! It is a strange house… !”

From noble mtl dot com

Coins grow on their own?

I thought that Oinoi was saying something strange, but that’s not what’s important right now.

“I’m asking what happened, not about why you came here, but about how you just kicked Yuari out. Wasn’t that a bit rude?”

“I am the type of person who has to say everything I want to say. And I don’t think I did anything wrong Yuari, her. He said he doesn’t work with Osa Group, so he’s still dating Lee Jung-hoon.”

I knew that Lee Jung-hoon and Yoo-ri were still dating. Of course, meeting here was not from a male and female perspective or from a business perspective, but from a unique perspective.

What is the relationship between the two?

When thinking about such things, Seo Yerim said.

“Anyway, if you contact me next time, please accept it. And if possible, don’t show Oinoi to Yuari. Oh noi, you shouldn’t be friendly with anyone either.”

“Mhehehehe, don’t underestimate this Oinoi… ! In that sense, to Kore Yerim, who grilled the meat, he is given a ‘picture’ drawn by Ohinoi as a gift… !”

Shut-.

Ohinoi tore up the drawing drawn in the sketchbook and gave it to Seo Ye-rim.

How about a painting drawn by a nymph?

“The title of the painting is 「City Night」… !”

Seo Ye-rim made a subtle expression after receiving her picture from Oi Noi.

Well, it was a subtle painting.

Oinoi wasn’t good at drawing.

Yua Li got off the taxi and headed to her lounge.

She was there to pick up the things she had left behind.

Dawn.

Late hours.

Yuari stopped in front of the public health lounge where the light was on.

It was because she felt a presence in it.

“Come in.”

Hearing the voice from inside, Yua Li took a deep breath and opened the door. Soon, the man sitting in the chair frowned and started swearing.

“Hey, Yuari. Did you tell me not to go anywhere and wait in the break room because I have to check up today? Aren’t you listening to what I’m saying?”

He was Lee Jung-hoon, known as an S-class awakener.

Yuari wasn’t too surprised that he was waiting in Yuari’s break room after he hadn’t been seen in the media or at work for the past few days.

Yua Li calmly approached the desk and packed her things.

Just then, Lee Jung-hoon twitched his nose at Yua-ri, who passed by him.

“Have you been drinking?”

“… ….”

“Who else are you hunting? You, you were always drinking before you went to work.”

Fast-.

Yua Li clenched her fists so tightly that her hands made a noise. Seeing this, Lee Jung-hoon spread his hands and acted like a harmless person.

“Whoa, calm down. If you get angry, now I can’t stop you. Me who fell to the damn B grade. Such a b*tch, Class B!”

Lee Jung-hoon felt anger boiling inside his body.

The reason for that anger is one.

“Could it be that the amount of mana stored in a person’s body decreases? Have you ever been like this? There was no one Didn’t the body’s magical power only increase? But why!”

Bang-!

Lee Jung-hoon hit the desk with his fist.

He covered his face with his palms and said as if he was vomiting.

“Why did my magic power drop? How many things do you have to do in the future? Is this a temporary situation? Is it permanent? How are you, Yuari? Did you find out anything? It must have been all over the place.”

“… ….”

Woowook Koo-.

Yua Li firmly gripped the scalpel on her desk.

At that time, Lee Jung-hoon said.

“Collock, you. Did you meet Heil too? Hail is also that guy. 1 Parasitic. A D-class guy. I researched. C grade this time. Coke, call, write—. After, did you go up?”

Shut-.

It was Lee Jung-hoon who grabbed his neck.

Are the airways swelling? It was somehow difficult to breathe.

“Cough, Cough. Ugh, what is the sudden cough—”

Lee Jeong-hoon continued to cough.

Yuari, who had super senses and had experience as a doctor, knew that this was an allergic reaction to something, but the exact cause could not be found.

Yuari said while holding the syringe containing the immunosuppressant in her hand.

“Haildo, I’ve met him a few times, but he’s no big deal after all. You don’t have to spend a lot of time looking at it. I won’t see you anymore.”

Shut-.

It was Yuari who brought the syringe to Lee Jung-hoon.

Lee Jung-hoon grabbed the wrist and then opened his eyes.

“How can a person who has risen from class D to class C in 8 years be such an insignificant person? I want to figure out how to get from D to C, so set a date tomorrow. If you can go from D to C, then you can go from B to S again.”

“… ….”

“What, are you trying to care about someone you know? Sounds funny. Yuari, how many friends did you sell out? Are you saying that now you are stabbed by your conscience?”

“—Let go.”

Yuari said calmly.

Lee Jung-hoon felt cold at the glimpse of Yuari’s sad expression for a moment, so he let go of his wrists.

“… That’s right, now you’re like the Yuari I know.”

The situation just now hurt Lee Jung-hoon’s pride.

And now, all Lee Jung-hoon can do to Yoo Ari is to open his mouth.

“You seem to be misunderstanding something. Coke. Think about who helped you get a position in health care at an institution. If I say it, sending you back to the field is not a job. Coke,”

On-site.

Yuari’s heart trembled slightly at those words.

He felt the smell of flames and blood wafting through his nostrils.

Yuari’s life has always been like that.

‘As expected, there is no such thing as a hero in the world. It’s just the opposite.’

“What are you doing without contacting me quickly?”

Yua Li now grabbed his cell phone.

He felt like he was standing on a train track.

She is the one who rides the train, the one who thinks while standing on the tracks, and the one who is lying on the tracks.
