Chapter 57 Part 2: Rift of the Blue Serpents
He was a famous recruit of the Blue serpent, after all.
He was dressed exactly as I perceived him— He was wearing a full Mage garb, with long flowing robes and a staff.
It’s common nowadays for people to just process magic stones and carry them around.
After all, it’s the magic staff that’s most efficient.
“Are you talking to us?”
“I think you misheard us.”
“Do you think you’ve mistaken us for someone else, we’ve always been nice. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.You must have misheard?”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.
“As if?”
With that, Lee Eun-Woo laughed in disbelief and waved it off, saying,
“Well, let’s say so.”
The twins looked even more annoyed with his tone, but Lee Eun-Woo ignored them and walked over to me.
“How have you been?”
“Not good. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Thanks to someone.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.
He smiled, but somehow… He looked angry.
Why?
“You said you were going to work as a private hunter.”
He was smiling cheerfully, but there was a hint of darkness in his voice, as if he had been betrayed.
“Well, it’s a long story, but first of all, I’m not completely part of the Netherworld.”
“Then?”
“I’m a member in name only, or something like that, and I’ve put a condition on the other side that I won’t perform any guild duties.”
It was a very short summary, but it seemed to be enough to infer the rest. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Lee Eun Woo’s face softened a little.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

He smiled slightly.

“You haven’t told us anything about Seoha-Noona.”
The twins spoke up, interrupting us.
When I told them that it’s no big deal, Lee Eun-Woo and the twins started laughing and bickering.
‘At least I knew a few people. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It’s better than I thought.’read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.
I thought so, but that illusion was shattered when the clearing operation began in earnest.

「Cour…」
「Ah..Cour…」
The undead were making strange noises.

It looks like a normal clearance team’s activity, but something very strange caught my eye.
Ding!
“Hah… Looks like we’re almost done, let’s take a break!”
When Jung Jin-moon called out, they all took their seats.
They take a break to drink water, but no one seems to want to point out the obvious. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Is it just me, or is this the style of the original Blue Serpent?read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.
It’s hard to say…
‘All the other Rangers and Mages are supposed to stand at the back, so why is Lee Eun-Woo the only one in the front line?’
Thanks to this, he was left cleaning up the blood spattered by the undead, and splashing holy water over it.
The other tanks nearby were doing the same thing.
Why on earth would he, a mage, need to take the lead in casting magic?
Lightning spells are powerful enough from a distance.
In fact, it’s not recommended to have the caster standing in front, as it increases the risk of them getting caught.
But maybe I’m the only one who thinks that.
Even Jung Jin-Moon, who is giving the order, doesn’t seem to question this strange position. read only at salmonlatte . com.

‘Am I the only one who thinks this is weird?’
Confusion almost sets in.
This didn’t happen when we were working together on a clearing operation before the regression….?
“Noona, do you want to drink some water?”
Yu-Ra came up beside me and handed me a water bottle. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.I took the water bottle and sipped it.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.
“Yu-Ra, isn’t it a little weird?”
“What?”
“About… Eun-Woo.”
When I mentioned his name directly, Yu-Ra gave me an ah-ha, understanding look.
“Ah〜. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.I didn’t really understand it at first either… But the seniors don’t talk about it and Lee Eun-Woo doesn’t seem to have any complaints, and he’s just doing it because he had to. read only at salmonlatte . com.

“You mean you don’t know why either?”
“Right? Maybe it’s because there’s a reason?”
Having been through the gate with him before, I felt a bit skeptical.
“Let’s wait and see.”
It’s a tricky thing to say. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.If done incorrectly, it can be seen as an insult to Jung Jin-Moon, who has the right to order.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.
It’s a very delicate matter when you’re inside the Gate.
‘I’m from a different guild, and I don’t feel comfortable talking about it.’
It could even turn into an inter-guild issue, and I’d better be careful since I’m carrying the name of the Netherworld.
I glanced over at Lee Eun-Woo, who was resting, covered in holy water.
‘Lee Eun-Woo’s tent is also located outside… And he’s alone?’
Looking at the arrangement of the tents, I felt a pinch again.
It was a very subtle difference that was hard to put a finger on.
A tent on the outskirts. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.And alone.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.
I’m the guest in the innermost tent, but there’s usually more than one of us, just in case.
‘Come to think of it, I’ve rarely seen him talk to anyone other than me and the twins.’
He was always alone, quietly relaxing.
At this point, a thought instantly pops into my head.
‘… Is Lee Eun-Woo being ostracized by the other people from Blue Serpents?’
