I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

35

Fortunately, there were no monsters higher than A-grade. The bigger and more aggressive ones seemed to be A-grade, and the rest were B-grade.

I disassembled the bones of the monster that rushed behind Cheon Sa-yeon's back while maintaining the wind that lifted us up.

Kkyeeek! Kyaak!

As I looked at the monster that melted, without leaving a trace, on the blazing sword, I said, "It seems you didn't know about this situation."

When I saw and heard it, I remembered Cheon Sa-yeon's expression, who frowned as if he was confused. It was an unusual reaction from him, since he was always relaxed.

Cheon Sa-yeon made eye contact with me and said in a whisper, "You are very quick-witted."

Hwiiing, black hair fluttered in the wind.

"I can't give you any more details than this, so I'd like to pass on it. I'm pretty flustered right now."

Flustered, my ass, I replied nonchalantly.

"Go figure. I didn't expect you to give me the right answer anyway."

"There's no trust between us. How sad."

Of course, my speed was significantly slower than Cheon Sa-yeon's speed. Cheon Sa-yeon, who melted all the monsters in front of him, turned and flew upward. As we went up higher, I saw ordinary people watching us under our feet. There were also many large cameras.

"I don't care. Because I have something else to think about."

"Hmm."

As I swung my hand out wide, the four B-grade monsters that were running were split in two in an instant. The monsters I killed were soon engulfed in Cheon Sa-yeon's flames.

"Come to think of it, you said you had something to check when you were begging me to bring you along."

"Wait, what did you just say...? Begging?"

It was ridiculous, so I stared at Cheon Sa-yeon. He had a look on his face that asked what was wrong.

"Why? Aren't I right? Like an abandoned dog with pitiful eyes—how sad you looked."

"No. When did I ever look like that?"

The atmosphere was a bit off, so I was a little self-conscious. 'Pitiful'... I've never looked anything like that.

"It's even worse if you did it unconsciously."

"Stop talking nonsense."

The soaring annoyance naturally turned to the monsters that rushed in. I tied six B-grade monsters at once, lifted them up, and then slammed them down hard on the ground. The skeletons were shattered with a scream. Seeing the scene, Cheon Sa-yeon smiled.

"Our Yi-gyeol is tough, too. There's no one else who's as well-rounded as you."

"......"

Fine, fuck. It was weird when I listened to you.

I let out a deep sigh, shutting off my powers. Cheon Sa-yeon, who was holding me, slowly descended to the ground. There were corpses of monsters all over the place.

I got out of Cheon Sa-yeon's arms and took off the jacket.

"It took exactly 17 minutes."

Cheon Sa-yeon, who checked the time, roughly shook his bloody hand. Upon seeing that, I said, "At least bring some bandages."

"Bandages? Speaking of bandages—" Cheon Sa-yeon, who put his jacket and sword in his inventory, unbuttoned a couple of shirt buttons. "—the research team said that they had created a new A-class bandage that was good for haemostasis."
