Legion of the Lost

Episode 14

이민혁

Seongjae, shall we go to the commercial district today?

육성재

Commercial district? With me?

이민혁

Yeah. Let's go out and play.

육성재

good!

육성재

It's been a really long time since I've been out!

이민혁

Really? Then shall we go there?

이민혁

That red-roofed pudding? The one you said was delicious before?

육성재

No... it's expensive there.

이민혁

Believe it or not, I'm a prince.

이민혁

You can live for five years on the money you took from the palace alone.

It was thanks to the money Minhyuk had secretly invested with while he was at the palace.

이민혁

Room and board are provided at the academy, so...

이민혁

let's go.

육성재

huh!

육성재

Wow, bro... all of these by type...

이민혁

You eat it all. I can't handle sweets very well.

육성재

Wow, thanks, bro!

이민혁

And here is a gift.

육성재

what?

육성재

bracelet?

이민혁

It's a protective spell.

육성재

protect...

이민혁

You often have bruises or scratches on your body.

이민혁

The work seems bad, too, so...

육성재

thank you...

이민혁

It only works on you, so don't let it be taken away.

육성재

huh...

It wasn't that Minhyuk was completely unaware of Seongjae's situation.

I didn't know the reason, but I knew that Seongjae was being bullied by someone.

이민혁

The atmosphere must be making it that way.

이민혁

The atmosphere where everyone is excluding Seongjae

이민혁

I can't solve this... If I step in, it will only get worse.

이민혁

This is... the best.

육성재

Thank you so much, brother!

육성재

I'll make sure to do well!

Whether he knew it or not, Seongjae was just as cheerful as ever.

이민혁

okay.

육성재

But you know, bro...

육성재

Back then, something about dropping out...

이민혁

Dropping out?

육성재

When the older and younger brothers came...

이민혁

Ah, that.

육성재

It's not true, right?

이민혁

Of course. Why would I drop out?

육성재

Okay. That's a relief...

이민혁

How many years have you been at the academy?

육성재

It's been 6 years since I started working this year.

이민혁

So, you let one person graduate and then I took charge?

육성재

uh...

육성재

Actually, my brother is the fifth one..

이민혁

really?

육성재

Yeah... I had some work to do, so...

이민혁

Well, whatever.

이민혁

Ah, Seongjae, shall we go over there for a moment to buy some magic props?

이민혁

I had something to buy but I forgot..

육성재

Yeah, sure. Let's go.

Before I knew it, the sun was slowly setting.

육성재

Have a good trip, bro.

이민혁

Huh? Aren't you going in together?

육성재

Ah... Suin can't go in here.

이민혁

Really...? Okay. I'll be right back.

육성재

Yeah, go ahead.

While Minhyuk went inside the store, Seongjae was loitering in front of it.

"Huh? What is it?"

"Isn't it Yook Sungjae?"

When Seongjae heard his name, he turned his head toward the direction of the voice.

That's right, Yook Sungjae.

육성재

Ah... hello..

That student was the student Seongjae had taken on before taking on Minhyeok.

Did you shamelessly become the dedicated prisoner again?

Your manager is really shameless, too.

육성재

I told you back then, didn't I...

육성재

I didn't do that...

It's noisy.

The student's hand slapped Seongjae's cheek.

육성재

Huh...? What is this...

육성재

It doesn't hurt at all...

"what?"

"The bracelet... you stole that, didn't you?"

육성재

Ah... no...

육성재

A student gave it to me...

"Hey, stop lying. Who would give you something that expensive?"

이민혁

I.

이민혁

I gave it to you.

"What? It's Lee Min-hyuk?"

Since everyone knew Minhyuk's face after the Suam match, the student recognized him immediately upon seeing him.

이민혁

Who are you to put my prisoner in a difficult situation?

"Oh, this one? Is it your beastkin?"

이민혁

Please don't speak informally.

He was in charge of me last year, and Yook Sung-jae has bad habits with his hands.

"I told you, when I was in charge, they kept stealing my things, so I eventually requested a replacement."

육성재

Ah... no...

"Be quiet."

I'm telling you in advance, request a replacement right now.

I'm saying this for your own good.

이민혁

Don't meddle for no reason.

이민혁

I'll take care of my own prisoner.

"How foolish... He'll thank me someday. He is a bit strange, you know."

With those words, the student turned around and walked away.

이민혁

What are you talking about...

육성재

Brother... brother, that's not it...

이민혁

I know. That you wouldn't do that.

육성재

No, really...

이민혁

Why? You didn't do that.

육성재

huh...

이민혁

I believe in you.

이민혁

Better than that crazy person I'm seeing for the first time.

이민혁

There are all sorts of strange people out there.

이민혁

The sun has already set. Let's hurry back.

육성재

huh...
