Class 1 Year 0 Leader, Kim Yuri.

She had a bright personality that made it easy for her to get along with anyone and had a generous heart to pair with excellent abilities.

She was a close friend of the known heroine An Da-in.

Her role within the game was not at all small.

That was until she refused to attend school due to an incident that occurred during the summer break of his first year.

When she started not to go to school, proportions began to drop sharply.

Kim Yuri had not been attending school since the second semester of her first year.

Then, when the Plamago concrete floor collapsed, he reappeared at the school after a long time to save An Da-in.

‘It was my last appearance to be active in that case and to leave completely. Kim Yuri also played a big role behind the breakdown of the concrete floor.’

The temperature also rose, meanwhile. Except for Kim Yuri, all the other children were wearing summer clothes.

Even Green started wearing a short-sleeved hooded jumper, but Kim Yuri was still wearing a long-sleeved spring and autumn suit by herself.

The sleeves of the black shirt completely covered Yuri’s wrist.

A thick leather strap was visible between said sleeves.

‘You’re hiding the seal of the Gwanglim Stealing Art.’

It was the perfect opportunity to wait.

“This is my first time going to someone other than a relative to play! Shall we go buy something?”

“Um, it’s my first time too…”

“Huh? You can just come here!”

Kim Yuri, who interrupted Saeum and Maeng Hyo-don’s conversation, smiled and waved her hand.

“I just ate what Yuri and Lena made. Let me buy you something!”

“Oh, can’t we just buy the ingredients?”

“Is that so? Then, people who are not active in the sub-activities get together and go to the mart! How about buying toilet paper instead of ingredients?”

Following the four-month period, Maeng Hyo-don also hesitated a bit and helped out with a word.

As a result, Year 1 Class 0, except for Kim Yuri, began to save money in order to buy materials and small gifts.

It was then decided that the children who were not engaged in secondary activities would be in charge of shopping due to time constraints.

Among the children attending school, there were only three children in our class who did not engage in secondary activities: Maeng Hyo-don, Saeum, and Green.

“Sorry, the mart seems to be full of people…”

“No! I said what I said.”

Green seemed to want to go shopping together, but eventually gave up and apologized.

Saeum and Green ended up apologizing to each other several times, so Kim Yuri had to step in and stop both of them.

“Haha, that’s really good… Looks like everyone decided to go. Then, I’ll take the menu request. What do you want to eat?”

Maeng Hyo-don still had a bit of difficulty with Kim Yuri but managed to say a few menu items. Soon, the children were also starting to wait for the food that they wanted to eat.

Soon, the children started to wait in anticipation for the food that they wanted to eat.

“Chief, why don’t you say anything?”

“I have an appointment for dinner. I’ll just watch the blue lemon juice being made.”

“Yeah? That’s too bad. So, are Green and Eushin leaving early?”

Hwang Jiho gave me a questioning look at these words, but then again, he had also declared that he would eat dinner among thousands of young students.

I was glad that he didn’t say he would follow me.

I was a person who had a penchant for dealing with clones, so I planned to use a clone as a decoy if he ever decided to tail me.

“How about two people choosing a snack menu?”

“Yeah, then…!”

Kim Yuri nodded at Han’s suggestion.

I could also see Green hesitating among the various menus, so I decided to hand over my options.

“What do you want to eat? All menu choices are up to you.”

“Uh? Is that okay?”

Green looked happy at my suggestion, yet hesitated.

“Hey, can you make another snack for me tomorrow? I’ll pay more.”

“You don’t have to! Rather, I’m a little worried about there being leftovers.”

Kim Yuri readily agreed at this, saying that there was no difference in adding about one more serving, anyway.

Green laughed at this, confessing about wanting to eat almond cookies and macarons.

With those words, a playable character in the game came to mind.

‘Song Dae-seok liked almonds.’

Green probably wanted to ask for Song Dae-seok’s share.

After school, after all of the side activities were over, in front of the main gate.

Maeng Hyo-don and Saeum, who had been shopping, were carrying loads of luggage.

Green hid behind the two of them, but when the classmates gathered around, she finally poked out her head.

After listening to the story, Green, who did not go to class in the afternoon, stayed in the classroom and began to paint by herself.

“Then, let’s go! It’s just close to school, just a short little walk.”

When all the Year 1 Class 0 children gathered, Kim Yuri started walking ahead. We soon arrived at the residential area of Eungwang.

‘Huh, look over there.’

The place Kim Yuri pointed to was a building that I remembered seeing in the game.

A detached house with a low fence and a small yard.

In front of this, An Da-in stood for several hours and tried to persuade Kim Yuri. In the end, the invitation to go to school failed.

“Wow, pretty!”

“That’s because my mom incorporated romance in her home café! Ah, this flower bed was made by me.”

“There’s nothing real glass can’t do!”

I thought so, too.

I had seen Saeum and Lena Kwon practice a few times during their break time, so I knew I would have to overcome this particular weakness sooner or later.

“Come in!”

Kim Yuri’s house seemed to reflect her personality.

There was no grandeur or splendor like Hwang Myeongho’s mansion, but the neat environment and carefully selected interior and accessories stood out.

In particular, between the living room and the kitchen, there was a cozy atmosphere that could be found in private cafes and were different from a franchise café.

“Wow, it’s just like a café!”

“Huh? I’ve seen this kind of background a few times on SNS. So you don’t go to public cafes, you just go at home?”

“Hahaha, I must have forgotten to put the hashtag on the home café. I usually just take my pictures at home.”

Kim Yuri smiled in embarrassment as she handed out a few aprons.

Soon, volunteers were accepted and they started making blue lemon juice and almond cookies, and a cooking class was held.

The participants? Lena Kwon, Green, and Saeum.

Hwang Jiho was also participating.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

Hwang Jiho was wearing an apron and running madly in the kitchen.

He played an active role in a good way and made all the people in Year 1 Class 0 astonished.

“Nonsense. I didn’t even use a scale and got the right amount!”

“Really? Then I’ll see you again. There is no error of 0.1g. The amount of soft flour and the amount of baking powder are correct. How did you even do it?”

“Why did he finish the dough faster than me with a hand blender? Did you do that by hand?”

“There’s nothing Jiho can’t do.”

I thought so, too. However, even Hwang Jiho wasn’t the type to be able to get any ticket he wanted.

“You don’t?”

“I’m interested in the process of making it, but it’s a bit difficult to make it myself.”

“Same with me.”

Han Yi and Maeng Hyo-don, who were watching, answered my question.

Han was contemplating whether or not to try his hand at it too, but when he saw Hwang Jiho smiling as he baked, he seemed to have completely given up.

After such a noisy baking class, the outcome proved to be almond cookies and macadamia nuts. Blue lemon juice had to be left at room temperature for two days, so we would probably see the finished product when we went to visit the Eternal Lake team building.

“You know, why don’t we take a group photo? As a commemoration of our time together?”

All the children agreed with Kim Yuri’s proposal.

“I want to take pictures too!”

“Hey, if you take a picture, Dae-seok… No, can I show you my friend?”

“Let’s take a picture before we eat.”

With Kim Yuri holding the cookies in a bowl and Lena Kwon with a glass bottle of unfinished blue lemon juice in the center, the remaining people took their seats in order to take the group photo.

All of them had bright faces.

Putting on the hood, Green began to run home.

It was difficult to use public transportation, which had to stay in an enclosed space for a long time with unspecified people, and it was also difficult to afford the expensive taxi fare.

To exercise, she always ran to and from school.

‘I’m glad I’m not the only one falling for it.’

Green had been at Kim Yuri’s house a while ago.

In the warm atmosphere, it was quite difficult to say that she had to go home now.

Fortunately, Jo Eushin, who had an appointment just like hers, had spoken up about leaving first, so she was also able to get out quite easily.

‘I’m a little late, though.’

She looked at her watch, seeing that it was a few minutes past the time she usually had dinner with Song Dae-seok.

Green grabbed at her collar tightly and hurried off further.

In front of the house, she found Song Dae-seok standing there. Upon seeing her, Dae-seok ran towards her.

“Sorry, I’m late!”

Song Dae-seok’s eyes were black, but his face seemingly looked blue.

He looked around, dragged Green into the house, and immediately closed the door. He seemed wary of something.

“What happened?”

“Huh. Why?”

Song Dae-seok answered in a low, locked voice.

“It’s because of some strange people.”

Song Dae-seok continued to worry about Green after the incident of malicious comments on Teacher’s Day.

After that incident, malicious commenters attacking Green began to appear on the general bulletin board. It seemed that his self-esteem was hurt by his failure to drive Green as a plagiarist based on his poor art knowledge.

‘There are far more good comments on the bulletin board of Eungwang High, but there are a few people who are particularly persistent in posting malicious comments.’

Green, who had achieved great achievements at such a young age, always had malicious commenters who could not control his jealousy in this way.

Green was a little scared, but she responded brightly.

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Nothing happened at school, Teacher Ham Geun Hyeong and my classmates go to school together, and all the classmates are nice…”

Song Dae-seok then looked at Green as she uttered these absurd remarks.

“Hey, is the satellite observation going well? You’ve been watching harder than usual lately.”

Green’s way of speaking began to grow clumsy. Song Dae-seok simply looked at her without saying a word, evidently deciding to match her energy.

“It was a little annoying.”

“That was annoying?”

Song Dae-seok developed a hologram.

In the dozen of windows, observation data from all existing satellites besides the player SAT-K came to mind.

In addition to satellites, hologram windows with data published by private research institutes were also attached.

A large number of observations were arranged according to the observation data of Player SAT-K.

‘How does Dae-seok check and organize all that? Wouldn’t Dae-seok be better than most experts when it comes to satellites?’

When Green was admiring the numbers floating around, Song Dae-seok began to speak whilst pointing to a coordinate point.

What appeared on the screen was a picture of a large cruise ship and a sea route.

“Not long ago, the area around Cymopoleia was strange.”

I was worried about what kind of dinner my friends would make, but I also had a prior commitment, so it didn’t take long for me to leave Kim Yuri’s house behind.

This evening, I joined them for a bit and then moved to a Chinese restaurant in Eungwang.

The person showed interest in the article I showed him rather than the Sapoum naengchae which had been served as the first course. He then spoke with a big smile.

“Hahaha! It’s a complaint made by a junior himself, so I’ll have to check it out.”

Seong Guk-eon then spoke after checking all the complaints I had written for the Tanna Middle School, as well as all the texts I had received in response.

“When I get a complaint from people who don’t like to work, I usually get a response like this. Also, when there’s a reason to be rude.”

Seong Guk-eon then decided to take charge of Tanraejung.

Meanwhile, I just wanted to enjoy a full course meal with peace of mind.

“I also want to ask you a favor.”

Did he really have anything to ask of me? As a student, I wouldn’t know what I could do.

“I am reading all the articles in the Eungwang High newspaper. There’s something in your writing that worries me.”

It seemed that Seong Guk-eon was reading all the articles published by the Eungwang High Newspaper Department.

All articles written by our department were published on the website, but I didn’t expect outsiders to read them.

‘What kind of article are you talking about?’

I had written quite a few articles while working in the newspaper club.

That was when a member of the National Assembly thought about a topic that may be of interest to Seong Guk-eon.

“It’s about Eungwang High’s ghost story.”

Seong Guk-eon also brought up a topic he had never even thought of.
