I have no dreams, I just want to play Episode 119

The lukewarm relationship with Jinseong showed no signs of improving over time. 

As Ilya said, there was no one in the group who did not know Jiwoo’s feelings, but now even those who did not know were all aware of Jiwoo’s continued direct expressions. That’s how sincere Jiwoo was in getting her feelings recognized. 

Nevertheless, Jinseong won the title of being the only person in the Guardian Guild who did not understand Jiwoo’s feelings. 

Jin-seong’s reaction brought Ji-woo to tears out of frustration, but the other party members were very happy. It was a completely contradictory reaction.

Time passed quickly, unaware of the speed of Jiwoo, who was the first to raise the white flag and give up.

* * *

In general, the Guardian Guild’s daily life was peaceful, but in the meantime, there was a big incident in the empire.

The death of an emperor, and a new emperor.

The cause of the emperor’s sudden death was announced as a heart attack, but Jiwoo’s guess was clear that it was a murder. In the original work, the emperor’s death was still many years away. The fact that the story flowed differently from the original meant that someone had gone against their predetermined fate. 

If we had to pick the most likely suspect for murdering the emperor, it would be this one. 

“I congratulate you. “Your Majesty the Emperor.”

In the end, it was 1st Prince Katrenen who took the throne of emperor. 

‘Can’t they make something like a poisonous plant that can kill people without leaving a trace?’

Katrenen suddenly asked Jiwoo that question. Jiwoo’s answer was, of course, negative. On the surface, he gave the reason that he couldn’t make poisonous plants that harm people, but the truth was that he didn’t even know the recipe for making poisonous plants. 

The prince also ignored Jiwoo’s refusal as if it was a funny joke, but after that, he remembered seeing the prince hanging out with Haemin several times.

Although he was suspicious of Katrenen, who had taken the position of emperor, Jiu chose to acquiesce. Even if he killed the emperor and took the emperor’s place, it was a good move for the Guardian Guild.

Although it was a bloody glory more than anything else, it was an undeniable fact that the current Katrenen was more suited to the position of emperor than anyone else.

After the emperor’s sudden death, the imperial family naturally became turbulent. 

Both the nobles who had not established a solid foundation for the new emperor and the nobles who had not yet lined up were equally unprepared. 

Due to the unprepared death of the emperor, the next emperor had no choice but to naturally go to the 1st prince, who was first in line of succession. It was easy to get a seat, but the problem came after that. 

Because there were more opponents than supporters of Katrenen, deep hardships were expected.

However, Katrenen’s future was shattered in a short period of time due to his bulldozer-like progress. No matter how long Katrennen was a noble who had been in contact with the imperial family, he pushed out all nobles and opposing forces that he considered rotten. 

It was the new personnel selected by Katrenen who filled the empty conference room, which was so empty that it was impossible to divide the government.

Talented people from the periphery who hold only the superficial title of nobility. Katrenen, who gathered together people who had lived a life of poverty similar to that of the people of the empire, especially wise and enlightened people who took the time to select them, showed his determination to make the country truly for the people of the empire.

Although all the nobles who had enjoyed vested rights did not remain silent, they were able to extinguish the embers by appropriately leveraging the power of the people of the empire.

For example, the feeble struggle to overthrow the imperial family using private soldiers died out without having any effect.

The private soldiers handled by the nobles were ultimately imperial people. It was an obvious result as to who the soldiers would choose between the new emperor who cared for them and the nobles who treated them as mere tools.

In the end, the reaction against the new emperor failed miserably, and all the nobles who participated were swept away without a sound.

“So you want me to go suppress the demon lord?”

“okay. “Isn’t that because the guild exists?”

I was wondering why Katrenen, who had become accustomed to the role of the emperor, was looking for the Guardian Guild, but he gave such instructions. 

Of course, subduing the Demon King was something that the Guardian Guild would have to do at some point, even without the Emperor’s order.

Nevertheless, Jiwoo, who knew in advance how dangerous the process was, wanted to postpone it as long as possible.

However, once the emperor came forward and spoke, it could not be postponed any longer. It was time for him to complete his vacation homework that he had put off until just before school started.

Knowing how difficult the journey to defeat the demon lord would be, Jiwoo set out with the group with a nervous mind.

As expected, even before facing the Demon King, the process of finding him was not easy. The demons that had to be passed before reaching the demon king possessed a level of strength that was on a different level from that of humans who had inherited the power of evil. 

Even if the demons touched it, the guild members would die. Therefore, the number of people on the expedition was limited to executives and Jinseong only.

Even with the most elite personnel, the process was long and painful.

There was no dangerous moment for the party members who had grown a lot, but constantly dealing with strong opponents definitely made them tired.

“Finally, if you cross this door, you can see the devil.”

Ji-woo swallowed dryly from the tension as she listened to Doyoung’s voice, which was filled with joy at the end of the journey and worry about the other person who didn’t know how strong he would be.

Ji-woo, who was looking at the other members of the group for no reason to do a final inspection, noticed a long stab wound on Jin-seong’s right shoulder. 

The wound was difficult to see at first glance because he was wearing dark clothes, so I had not noticed it until now.

“Jinseong, your shoulder… … .”

Belatedly, Ji-woo approached Jin-seong and brought up the story about the wound, but Jin-seong hid his shoulder as if it was no big deal and widened the distance between him and Ji-woo by a step.

“I will heal you.”

“it’s okay. “This arrangement is bearable.”

“But once it heals, it will be much more comfortable.”

“Just mind your stamina.”

Ji-woo’s expression became full of dissatisfaction as she watched Jin-seong retreat, covering his injured right shoulder.

If this is going to happen, why did everyone drag him along?

Jiwoo had never used her healing ability during this long journey. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured yet, but it was also because his companions were avoiding him and did not want to receive treatment from Jiwoo. 

When I asked him if he was even slightly worried and injured, he would jump up and say that there was no such thing at all. Because she hadn’t had a chance to explain anything until now, it seemed like she still misunderstood that the healing ability was taking away Jiwoo’s vitality. 

But in addition to everyone’s misunderstandings, there was one thing they didn’t know. It was true that Jiwoo’s healing ability was not only possible if she reached the affected area’s ability.

Ji-woo, who tightly held Jin-seong’s hand while he was trying to distance himself, unleashed his healing ability and healed his wounds in an instant.

Jinseong must have felt the hot energy spreading into his body through his fingertips, so he quickly shook off his hand and examined his affected area. It was when Jinseong, who checked the cleanly healed wound, looked down at his Jiwoo with an angry look on his face.

Squeak – The sound of scraping the floor tormented Jiwoo’s ears. At the unfamiliar noise, our gazes returned to the door where the group was standing. The thick and blunt-looking door opened on its own without any external action, even though the group was keeping a distance from each other. 

I set my guard and watch the door in case the devil came out from inside or if there was a sudden attack coming from inside the door… … . 

The person who stuck out from there was a small boy.

The appearance of a boy with a gentle face eased the tension for some, but Doyoung, who was highly suspicious, and Jiwoo, who could clearly see the boy’s identity, did not relax the tension.

No, on the contrary, I became even more nervous and anxious about how I would tell the group about the boy’s identity.

This was because the identity of that innocent-looking boy was none other than the demon king that Jiwoo and his group had been looking for.

The destination of the Demon King, who looked like a child on the outside, was none other than Jiwoo. He stopped in front of the frozen Jiwoo.

“You are a savior.”

Unlike the original work, the Demon King approached Jiwoo, who was holding her breath without realizing it, and behaved docilely without showing any aggressive tendencies.

That wasn’t all that was strange. How did the Demon King know? He even mentioned the title of savior.

Savior, it was the exact name of Jiwoo’s job, but no one knew that fact.

Because it was a name that could not be known unless Jiwoo mentioned the occupation name first.

But how does the Demon King accurately understand the job name of savior? Along with goosebumps, doubts arose.

“You were a little while ago, right? “I can sense the strong scent of life from you.”

It was Jinseong who stopped the Demon King, who was sniffing and trying to get closer to Jiwoo. As if some part of the Demon King’s remarks had provoked Jinseong, he blocked the Demon King with a wary gaze.

“What is it?”

In response to Jinseong’s strong response as he growled and threatened, the Demon King grumpily revealed his true identity.

“I am the devil you are looking for.”

In response, everyone, including the other party members who had let their guard down somewhat, immediately got into a fighting stance and aimed at the Demon King, but he paid no attention.

“I answered you too, so now it’s your turn.”

The Demon King asked without taking his eyes off Jiwoo as if he was at all worried about those who were aiming their swords and casting magic right in front and behind him. 

“Can you fix me too?”
