How to Get on the Main Character’s Flower Path

 

The bodies of the monsters wrapped around the Will-O’-The-Wisp pierced through, and the huge sphere moved towards the spider’s mouth.

 

The large sphere soon entered deep inside the spider’s mouth.

 

Then Min Jaeyoon, who had grown into a giant, quickly rushed in and grabbed the spider’s mouth shut, tying it up tightly.

 

“It’s done.”

 

I laughed.

 

The mana registered by the Will-O’-The-Wisp belongs to two. Shin Baran and me.

 

The bullet that pierced the monsters’ sphere reached the Will-O’-The-Wisp.

 

The Will-O’-The-Wisp that responded to my mana.

 

—!

 

It exploded.

 

BOOOOOOOM!

 

I heard something explode.

 

A blast of air burst out from the spider’s torn mouth, and the corpses of the monsters flew out.

 

The giant spider, which now had only four legs left, let out a silent scream in pain.

 

And it collapsed.

 

BRUUUUUUUGH—!

 

A huge tremor shook the ground, and the tier boss flinched and stopped moving.

 

Just before Min Jaeyoon become small again, Calmy jumped from above her head towards the gate.

 

Then, he closed the tier boss gate using the gate close item.

 

It was an item I had handed over before.

 

At that moment, the other gates also began to close together in response.

 

Shin Bareun, who saw this, shouted.

 

“Now! Wipe them all out!”

 

Shin Barun’s party cut across the battlefield and defeated the boss monsters. Following them, numerous hunters rushed at the monsters.

 

KEUUGGHGH—!

 

The monsters were now prey rather than predators.

 

“Chase!”

 

“Don’t leave a single one behind!”

 

Now all that was left was up to the hunters.

 

People cheered. Everyone was full of hope.

 

Even though it was still the middle of the night, we thought it was as if we were standing at the end of dawn and seeing the beginning of the dazzling sun.

 

***

 

After that? There was nothing special.

 

First, we were criticized for not going to the shelter as ordered and leaving our position to fight the tier  boss.

 

“Should I say you did a good job or not a good job…”

 

“If possible, please tell us we did a good job.”

 

I decided to be shameless about what had already happened. What, why, what?

 

Shin Bareun sighed heavily at my irritated face.

 

“You’re on probation for the time being. Please stay quietly in your dorm until your disposition is decided.”

 

Of course, there was no way I could remain quiet.

 

Now that the abnormal situation has ended, safety has been reasonably guaranteed, and more importantly, a major accident (?) has occurred right away. We worked secretly to help subdue the remaining monsters, but were caught again and listened to sermons.

 

[Thank you, kids. But aren’t you interested in graduating early? Come to our guild when you graduate.]

[Thanks to you, I survived! “I’m looking forward to the future!]

[Aren’t you going to become S-class hunters later? When you get ahead, don’t forget me?]

[Is this enough to get a medal? Amazing!]

[Well, what medal? Scouts will line up. It’s a supernova, a supernova!]

 

Then I heard something like this.

 

It felt quite nice to receive a compliment after a long time.

 

So I,

 

[Current meta point: 4740 points]

 

Even though I had gained nothing except saving my life, I somehow felt good.

 

This is definitely a story that won’t appear in Na Yuhan’s story.

 

That’s why it won’t earn me any points.

 

“Nahyun! Come and eat this!”

 

Still, I realized that people’s smiling faces are worth more than that. A part of my heart tingled.

 

I grinned as I received the grilled squid from Choi Garam.

 

“Do you like it? You like it? You like it after causing trouble.”

 

“Ehehe… But, what happens to our field training?”

 

When I asked about squid legs, Choi Garam scolded me as if she was dumbfounded.

 

“Are you still worried about field training after going through all that trouble?”

 

“No. Just in case.”

 

“Tsk… It was an emergency situation, and in the end, it seemed like a great achievement had been achieved, so we decided not to punish you. I don’t know if they’re giving you a reward.”

 

“That’s a relief. I thought we were being expelled from the Academy.”

 

“You idiot, why would they expel first-year students who caught the class boss that even the unit-level hunters under the captain’s direct command were making a fuss about? Not knowing if you’re being raised with pamper. I don’t know much, but I’m sure you’ll be receiving quite a few love calls in the future. Life has unfolded, my little one.”

 

“Indeed.”

 

I grinned. She complained, pinching my nose as if she didn’t want to see my smile.

 

“That, mm, they say they will give you a medal, but I don’t know when it will be given out.”

 

“Hmm…”

 

I listened to Choi Garam’s words in one ear and let them out of the other. While I was absentmindedly watching the hunters outside clearing up traces of monsters, I found Shin Barun and Shin Baran sitting side by side in a deserted place.

 

“Captain Shin Bareun, does she have anything left to do with Baran? I thought we were taking a break today.”

 

“Huh? There isn’t any, though? The captain also went to rest for a while. Why?”

 

“But why is she sitting there with Baran?”

 

“I guess it’s a family affair. It’s private, so stay away.”

 

Choi Garam covered my ears and slowly walked away from the window. Sheesh.

 

“Ah, and they said you have free time starting from lunch.”

 

“Even when I have free time, I don’t know what to do. Can I go out?”

 

“Yeah. But I heard Jaeyoon and Baran are going to the amusement park with you? Well, I just need to find out.”

 

“So there was a plan that I didn’t know about.”

 

It was only around lunch time that I laughed out loud as I saw the two of them handing out their tickets with excited expressions.

 

“Siwoo is going too!”

 

“Let’s go!”

 

“Right, let’s go…”

 

It’s all good, but please tell me in advance, guys.

 

***

 

“I was wrong.”

 

That was what Shin Bareun said after a long silence.

 

“I was able to look back on myself only after everything was over. You… weren’t me.”

 

The wall sank deeply. Shin Bareun spoke as if atonement to herself.

 

“You were you. Yet I asked you to be me.”

 

Shin Bareun thought of Shin Baran shining brightly during the fast-paced time.

 

Shin Baran didn’t lead everyone. But she was definitely the person who was needed the most.

 

It was only now that Shin Bareun realized that she had such talent. And then she realized that she only wanted Shin Baran to achieve the same.

 

“Sister.”

 

She, lost in thought, heard Shin Baran’s voice. She raised his head. Shin Baran was smiling quietly.

 

“Sister is amazing. You lead people, support them, and help them see ahead. I liked that kind of you.”

 

That is why Shin Baran admired her.

 

She admired her, adored her, and eventually believed that her sister could do anything.

 

“So even though I thought Sister was an all-rounder, I wanted to help you.”

 

It doesn’t matter if Shin Baran’s attitude was created to protect herself from the pressure from those around her. Just because she started like that doesn’t mean she was still like that at the moment.

 

“This time, I achieved my dream.”

 

Even if it was a dream that bloomed for any reason, a dream was a dream, so she dreamed.

 

“You know, Sister, was I a good assistant?”

 

She dreamed it with all her might.

 

At her words, Shin Bareun’s face contorted as if she was about to cry.

 

“You were the best assistant. To the point where I feel inadequate.”

 

Eventually, her dream became a different light from the light she longed for, so bright that even the light she longed for was mesmerized.

 

“I’m happy.”

 

Shin Baran smiled brightly and made eye contact with her sister.

 

With a sister who wasn’t as perfect as she thought, who was no longer so scary, yet whom she still liked.

 

“Then may I offer advice as your assistant?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I want Sister to be someone who knows your own mistakes and can correct them.”

 

A warm wind blew and touched their pink hair.

 

Shin Baran spoke softly and calmly, as if she had penetrated Shin Bareun’s heart.

 

“You feel like you need to apologize to a lot of people, right?”

 

“…”

 

Shin Bareun quietly nodded her head. And she slowly closed her eyes.

 

The brief field training at the fort was enough to change her. She looked back at her own narrow-mindedness and her arrogance. Then she spoke.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

For Shin Baran was the person to whom Shin Bareun should apologize.

 

She had so many people to apologize to.

 

***

 

In the end, our field training team came to the amusement park.

 

Min Jaeyoon openly showed her excitement, and Shin Baran pretended not to be excited.

I didn’t hate it either. Because it was my first amusement park since I was born.

 

“Amazing…”

 

“I know, right.”

 

Perhaps because it’s a world where mana is common, there were also unique amusement equipment that couldn’t be seen in my previous life.

 

“It’s a landmark here!”

 

“If it’s a landmark, it can’t be helped!”

 

Min Jaeyoon said that it was his first time at the amusement park and excitedly pointed out various things, suggesting that we go on a ride. Shin Baran pretended that she couldn’t resist and ran along with her excitedly.

 

“It’s a roller coaster! I really wanted to ride it at least once!”

 

“H-Hmmm. Not bad! If you really want to ride it!”

 

And I was speechless when I saw the roller coaster, which somehow had more extreme twists than my previous life.

 

Why are the 360-degree turns connected continuously like the fruit of love? Do you want to die like that?

 

“What are you doing! Let’s go!”

 

At Shin Baran’s urging, I stood in line for the roller coaster with a dead gaze.

 

“…Will you be okay?”

 

“…Maybe.”

 

Calmy was worried about me, but I was okay. Although I vomited a bit.

 

Is the average stomach of humans in this era comparable to that of low-level awakeners?

 

Anyway, after going around a lot of rides.

 

One last thing left, the ferris wheel.

 

As expected, those two people approached the ferris wheel with excited steps, as if they had no intention of not getting on it.

 

Since it was a two-seater, we decided to split the ride. I got to ride with Calmy.

 

“Next person! You’re getting on board!”

 

Following the guide’s instructions, I entered the ferris wheel and sat down.

 

Silence filled the ferris wheel, and the wheel began to move into the air. The world became smaller beneath our feet.

 

In the distance, a tall tower can be seen between seemingly small ruins. I looked blankly at the tower.

 

It was Calmy’s question that woke me up.

 

“What do you think is inside that tower?”
