You Didn’t Tell Me the Start of My Transmigration Was a Gate - Chapter 375

Special Extra Episode 14

The next day, we set off early in the morning.

A little bit away from the city hall. In fact, there isn’t a street that can be called a downtown area, but it was an old building located slightly away from the center.

The only thing worth seeing was the sign hanging there.

It only had the pattern of the stream engraved on it without any other name.

“Here… .”

“The headquarters of the Guild of Yeokcheon. It’s a small place that can’t be compared to the headquarters.”

The main reason was that it didn’t start out on a large scale, and that it wasn’t able to focus on growing the guild’s size.

That would be the case, since Pyo Yeon-won was in charge of internal management and I only went around the gate. Although Pyo Yeon-won was the external leader of the guild, I was the symbol of the reverse guild.

In fact, Yeokcheon was no different from a guild that existed only for the one-man show called ‘Hanseoha’.

This means that there are structural problems that make it difficult to grow significantly.

If I were alone, I could have just used the space interference without having to go through the door… But today, I have company.

‘Spatial interference.’

Swish!

When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar interior of the Yeokcheon Guild. I turned around and opened the door, and Lee Woon-woo came in, looking at me with a suspicious expression.

“Is it okay to come in here like this?”

“It’s okay because it’s my guild too.”

The current Yeokcheon is still Hye-won’s, but at that time, the Yeokcheon was all built by me and Pyo Yeon-won.

“You too… You said you had somewhere to go before the government office. Was it to find the guild leader of Yeokcheon?”

Lee Yun-woo made a face of bewilderment. I didn’t say anything in response.

“This way.”

Instead, I headed to the backyard with Lee Yun-woo.

Even though Yeokcheon has participated in countless gates and made a lot of money, he still bases himself here instead of moving to the central building.

There was only one reason.

As we headed to the backyard, a beautifully landscaped garden, unlike the outside, unfolded before our eyes. For a moment, I almost felt as if I had returned to my original world.

Rustle.

When I made a sound on purpose, the passenger who had arrived inside first looked back.

“… … .”

Even though I had been looking this way for a long time, he now seemed like a complete stranger. A man with a bow on his back was facing me, looking tired.

It was Pyo Yeon-won.

He’s always been younger than me, but now he’s older than me, so his face has become more mature.

He stared at me for a moment, not seeming surprised to see me with a face that was even younger than mine here.

“I heard the story.”

“… … .”

“You came from another world. But you came to this tomb… It seems like my sister is dead in that world too.”

I wasn’t so clueless that I couldn’t read the resentment hidden in the calm tone.

“I thought it would be a little different… … .”

Pyo Yeon-won passed me by, muttering softly.

A faint scent of cigarette smoke wafted from the uniform passing by. The bitter scent made me turn my head without realizing it.

Tak. I grab Pyo Yeon-won’s shoulder and he looks back at me with a blank expression.

I couldn’t help but pause at those indifferent eyes. But I really wanted to say this. I couldn’t bring myself to do it before I returned…

“Don’t smoke.”

“… … .”

“It’s not good for your health.”

At those words, Pyo Yeon-won looked at me as if he was looking at a very strange person.

It’s a matter that I, too, have no ties to, so you might be wondering what I, who came from another world, would say. Pyo Yeon-won made a surprised face and then asked briefly.

“Were we the ones who spoke like that all over the world?”

It was just give and take. You even made me fried rice every morning. … But I couldn’t say that, so I just nodded silently.

At that, Pyoyeonwon opened his eyes wide as if slightly surprised.

“… … I see.”

Then he fiddled with his coat pocket, hesitated for a moment, and blurted it out.

“Be careful.”

That meant that he would be careful ‘in front of me’. He said that he would make sure not to be an eyesore, since I seemed to dislike that appearance.

I wanted to say more, but I kept my mouth shut because it seemed meaningless.

Then Pyo Yeon-won bowed and started walking again. This time, I couldn’t stop him.

Step, step. Only after the sound of footsteps had faded away did Lee Yun-woo open his mouth to speak.

“Are you sure you were the Pyoyeonwon Hunter just now?”

“huh.”

“The impression is so different.”

That makes sense. Before the regression, Pyo Yeon-won and I didn’t have such a lively relationship.

Because of Hye-won’s death, whenever we ran into each other, we both felt the void she left behind so vividly… . We even felt like we were avoiding each other.

I too couldn’t approach him rashly because I felt guilty that his older sister died because of me.

Pyo Yeon-won probably felt a lot of complicated emotions when she saw me carrying Hye-won’s body.

Their relationship, which had been strained from the start, never improved even after being in the same guild for over 10 years.

We treated each other like glass that would shatter at the touch, and we thought we were hurting each other. And we weren’t wrong.

At that time, whenever I saw Pyo Yeon-won, who resembled Hye-won, I felt pain because I realized how precious something I had lost.

“Didn’t I originally want to die for you?”

“It’s different here.”

So many things.

It seems like Lee Yun-woo still doesn’t quite understand the difference.

“This way.”

I led Lee Yun-woo, who was trying to add some nonsense, inside. As we pushed through the bushes and entered, the hidden tombstone came into view.

The sunlight shone like a spotlight on the tombstone, allowing the very old stone to be seen in its entirety.

Hyowon Pyo.

When he saw the name engraved there, Lee Yun-woo froze.

“… … .”

And no further explanation was needed, because Lee Woon-woo was smart.

I vaguely thought about why I was so blind to Hye-won and why Pyo-yeon-won’s attitude was so cold.

“The Yeonhwa-do Gate was originally a gate that was supposed to last for several years. It was known as the worst gate and took the lives of many people.”

I continued speaking, picking flowers from the garden and placing them on the tombstone.

“Even Sister Hye-won’s life.”

“… … .”

Lee Yun-woo was silent for a moment and then spoke.

“The fact that the leader of the Yeokcheon Guild is still alive is probably because you somehow changed things.”

“that’s right.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Lee Woon-woo asked Pyo Yeon-won here why she didn’t tell him that Hye-won from my world was alive.

“I wonder if it would be a little more comforting to know that I am alive, even in another world.”

“no.”

This time, I could be certain.

“It’ll be even more painful. You’ll blame yourself for days and nights, wondering if there was a choice to save Hye-won.”

That obvious future appeared to me.

“So this is better.”

Lee Yun-woo moved his lips at my words, but did not utter any particular objection.

For the first time in a long while, I looked down at the grave of Hye-won, no, my teacher. For a very long time, I had burned everything I had for this revenge.

‘Please forgive me, Master.’

Now that I’ve turned back time and saved you, can you let go of some of the burden on your mind?

I knew I couldn’t be happy. I was the life that survived by eating the Master, so how could I dare do that?

My heart, which had been so frozen, had suddenly melted away.

Looking back at this place, it became even clearer. If it were normal, I would have been tormented by guilt… .

‘A little is okay. You can forgive me for this much, right?’

I straightened my back while muttering to myself. Thanks to the flowers that Pyoyeonwon and I had offered, the tombstone didn’t look lonely.

After looking at the sight for a long time, he said.

“I found it. The error in the last memory.”

There is no way I could not know.

“On the left side of the tombstone, there should have been a scratch about 0.5cm in size, but it’s fine here.”

“… … .”

Lee Yun-woo’s gaze seemed to have become a little colder, but I tried to ignore it.

[Notice: You have detected a memory error!]

[Notice: Memory Error (15/15)]

[Notice: You have found errors in all memory.]

[NOTE: ‘Mirror of Memory’ admits losing the bet.]

“You didn’t even think about winning in the first place.”

I muttered softly. It was a fight that was in my favor from the start. Finding the difference in a place that was built based on my memories.

Isn’t it no different from solving a problem by holding the answer sheet?

If you wanted to win the bet, you wouldn’t have asked such an obvious question.

So the purpose of this ‘Mirror of Memory’ is not to win the bet.

Hwaaaaak!

Bright light surrounded me, and I felt like my body was floating. A similar feeling I had when I first entered this space enveloped my whole body.

As I slowly opened my eyes, there was an object in front of me that seemed to be the main body of the item.

It was a small hand mirror. It was old and slightly cracked.

[Notice: The S-class item, ‘Mirror of Memory’, speaks to you.]

I didn’t say that the beginning of the regression was the gate.
