To you as a fresh blue frost (4)
W. It's really in my head
"Who, who are you..?"
The girl didn't let go of Seokjin's hand even as she sat up. She felt a chill threatening her from his grip.Is it a dual..?Seokjin looked at the girl who was getting up in confusion for a moment, then took out his rider ID and showed it to her.
"Current Rider, Former Guide"
"Th-what is that?"
"Oh, don't worry too much, I'm not part of the government or anti-government forces."
Seoran, who saw Seokjin's rider ID, still didn't let go of his hand with a nervous expression.
"No, I was just going to go, but my guiding score dropped a lot..."
Seokjin pointed to the watch on her wrist, its screen glowing.When was this filled in?Seokjin took advantage of the moment when Seoran was flustered and quickly took off the watch.
"This is mine. I'll take it back now. It's an old version, so it doesn't have any other functions besides measuring guiding values."
Seokjin turned around, leaving her still speechless.
"This is a dangerous place because creatures come out. Since it's a Dual Sentinels, a few creatures might be okay...? But it's a government area, so if you stay too long, you might get caught. It seems like the Sentinels aren't registered with the government yet, so if you don't want to be a government soldier, just do whatever you want and go back."
A girl grabbed Seokjin's clothes as he was about to open the door and go out.
"I have nowhere to go. Anywhere is fine, just take me to the city."
Seokjin turned around and looked at the girl, who was a mess and blood was splattered everywhere.I don't want to get involved in troublesome things...But I felt like I shouldn't leave the child here.
"I'll just take you to the city entrance. Beyond that, we can't cooperate with either the government or the anti-government forces..."
At Seokjin's words, Seoran followed him out, her body swaying here and there.
. . .
"Since we're at this point, why don't you introduce yourself? What's your name and where are you from?"
"Gwak Seo-ran. I originally belonged to the Liberation Autonomous Region, but I was captured by government forces some time ago and was being transported somewhere."
Listening to Seoran, Seokjin scanned her. She was dressed in black combat fatigues. Beyond the bloodsplatter on her face, perhaps a sign of a previous battle, there were signs of struggle here and there, perhaps a strong resistance during her capture. Seokjin had heard of the Liberation Autonomous Region. It was located in the middle of an area frequented by creatures, and Yoongi had told him that the government military was keeping an eye on it due to its high Sentinel emergence rate. So, what was the government military planning to do with them, secretly?
"You were captured by the government forces? Then you're not part of the government forces?"
"We had no intention of cooperating with either government or anti-government forces as long as we could protect our own land. Our own Sentinels alone were sufficient to defend our territory..."
"however?"
"My father was arrested. There's evidence that he aided anti-government forces...? At first, he cooperated with the investigation, but..."
"What? So you're an anti-government soldier?"
"No, that's not true? We have nothing to do with you, right? I...!!!"
When Seoran glared at Seokjin, Seokjin flinched slightly. It was understandable, as a chill emanated from Seoran, giving off an intimidating air.
"Whoa... That's it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Anyway, we're not enemies since we don't belong to either camp. Let's get moving."
"What's your name...?"
"I'm Kim Seok-jin. You can find out more details by searching, so find out later. I don't have any positive feelings toward the government forces either. And when you go to the city, make sure to hide your identity as a Sentinel. All Sentinels that manifest here are required to be registered, so whether you're caught as an unregistered Sentinel or a runaway Sentinel, you'll be caught without fail."
Seokjin spoke with a cold face.
Seokjin, unable to carry Seoran on the back of his motorcycle, blood-stained everywhere, told her to at least wipe her face before leaving. He took her to the kitchen, which was located a short distance away. Seoran washed her face with cold water at the kitchen sink and roughly dried the water with her sleeve. Stopping her from leaving, Seokjin handed her a clean, wringed-out towel. After Seoran had cleaned up and cleaned up, Seokjin led her outside.
"Get in the back."
Seokjin, who had come out, pointed to the back seat of the motorcycle. As Seoran got on, Seokjin climbed onto the front seat and handed her a helmet.
"What about the others? Is your autonomous district very far from here?"
"Well, first I have to find my father's whereabouts..."
Seoran spoke sadly. Seokjin cursed quietly and started the motorcycle. The quiet silence of the road was filled with the sound of the motorcycle engine.
