Vol 4 Chapter 39 "High schooler. You were more impressive than I thought." At Kran's gaze, Un-o casually relaxed his hands and replied. "Those who try to rip people off are the shameless ones. Even at that price, they're still making much more than the cost. Anyway, my mouth hurts a bit after using my negotiation skill for the first time in a while." From the side, the sound of Apollon and Hyacinthus embracing each other and crying sadly could be heard. "Apollon, what will we live on now?" "It's okay, do you think I can't take care of you alone? You just need to be my cute owner and show me the happiness that comes from you." "No. You suffering alone is..." "What are you saying? I only need you. The word 'suffering' doesn't exist in my dictionary." "Apollon...!" "Hyacinthus...!" Smack...! And then the two began to kiss passionately, with neither taking the lead. As Kapros stared blankly at the two emitting tremendous heat with a literal smacking sound, Kran finally exploded as if he couldn't hold it in anymore. "Hey! What are you doing? It's embarrassing with customers here!" The answer was a smack that had leveled up even more from just before. Unlike the grumbling Kran, Un-o, not paying any attention, asked Kapros, "Shall we go?" And Kapros... "..." Strangely, he couldn't take his eyes off the sight of those two. He didn't think he had voyeuristic tendencies, but as he was wondering why, suddenly a memory flashed through his mind. The heat of lips touching with eyes lowered. The palm holding the sweaty nape of the neck and the hot air peculiarly filling that place. And... "Kap. What are you staring at?" With perfect timing, Kran lightly tapped Kapros's back at that moment. "Nothing." As Kapros shook his head and answered, the memory quickly fading, Kran gave an ambiguous smile. "Well, aren't we going?" "We should. But one more thing first." "Huh?" Pushing past the puzzled Kran, Kapros approached Apollon and Hyacinthus, who were still kissing. "There's one more thing I'd like to buy." Only then did the two intertwined lips part with a wet sound, and they turned their heads to look at Kapros with displeased expressions. "You want to buy more? When customers like you come, our luck runs out..." Kapros smirked at Hyacinthus's words, spoken in an honest tone with all politeness gone after finishing one sale. "I'll go and buy it quickly by myself, so if you don't like it, don't bother." "..." Then Apollon and Hyacinthus, who had been staring at Kapros's face, pointed inside with grins before anyone could say anything. "Let's go now, customer." As he followed them, Kapros waved his hand at Kran and Un-o, who were trying to follow. "I'll be out soon, so wait outside first." Thanks to Apollon and Hyacinthus, who seemed quite deflated by the great negotiation with Un-o and offered an appropriate price from the start, the second shopping trip was over in the blink of an eye. Just before going out the door after receiving the item, Apollon and Hyacinthus, still holding each other's waists, gave Kapros a final greeting. "Honestly, we should have charged more for that, but we gave you a discount because we liked your expression. Take care, and next time come with a negotiator who's a bit more reasonable." "Wait, Hyacinthus. Are you saying you prefer someone like that to me? Really? Just because he's a bit taller and has a slightly different vibe! Is that it?" "Oh Apollon, you know I only have eyes for you." "...Thank you for your help." Unable to adapt to the atmosphere, Kapros quickly said goodbye and opened the door to leave. The first thing he saw was the cool city with its still quiet atmosphere. "Kap." "You're out now." Kapros nodded lightly, feeling as if he had completed a big task. "Then should we head towards Kizalkirstum's warp portal now?" "Mm." The reason Kran and Un-o had followed all the way to this city before saying goodbye was closely related to Kizalkirstum's warp portal. Since they could instantly move to each major city using the warp point, they needed to come to Kizalkirstum first to go to their respective destinations. Following the two who were walking quickly without even asking, as if they had found out about the direction of Kizalkirstum's warp portal while Kapros was buying the second item, they soon arrived at a place where a large, blue-glowing magic circle was drawn in the center of a huge plaza. Seeing users constantly disappearing or appearing and moving to other places after a long time, Kapros felt quite refreshed as he recalled the memory of moving from Torelit to Tolang through that warp portal when he was with Yu-wan and Kran before. At the same time, the realization that he now really had to part ways with Kran and Un-o hit him. The two seemed to feel the same way, as they were silent. Still, with the hard-earned items in his arms, Kapros had to speak first. "Kran, Un-o." He called their names with more force than usual. Kapros handed over the paper bags he was holding in both arms to their respective owners, to do something he had rarely done before - giving a gift to others. "Here." The two received the bags with very strange expressions, even though they had gone shopping together earlier. The moment they looked inside, their expressions intensified, especially Kran, who was making a bizarre expression so contorted that it was impossible to tell if he was happy or bewildered. Kapros opened his mouth, wondering if perhaps Kran didn't like it. "Kran. Even if you don't like it, there's nothing you can do. You must wear it." "Kap..." Kran, with a slightly reddened face, pulled out something long from the bag. It was the robe that Un-o had haggled over just a few minutes ago, picking at every little thing with his incredible eloquence to lower the price again and again. "This... Did you really buy this for me?" Watching Kran ask in apparent shock, even though he seemed to have vaguely expected it, Kapros nodded firmly. The reason Kapros had thought he should buy a hooded cloak-style robe for Kran started when they entered Bala Monyak for the second time, when people who recognized Kran's face in the market swarmed around him like bees.

Jin Soram, the top-ranked hunter representing South Korea's Rift Phenomenon Management Headquarters, is stronger than anyone else and lazier than anyone else. As soon as he arrives at the office, he buries himself under a blanket and falls asleep. When he goes out on a mission, he causes accidents and returns to the office, often shirking his duties.
"Do you know how it feels to play a game that's already messed up? ...Anyway, the next round will come, so this time, I'm just going to play it recklessly."
In fact, his true identity is someone who has regressed through three lives, trying to save the world from the Great Rift but failing each time. After repeating a life where he couldn't sleep peacefully even for a day, he became completely exhausted before this life even began.
"I know. You worked hard, Jin Soram."
And then there's Han Tae-un, the man who saved Soram and died in all three previous lives. As he did in every life, he comes to Soram's side once again. The Great Rift is approaching soon. It's impossible to resolve it in this life without any preparation. Soram vows to save Tae-un in this life and die himself. At least, he won't let Tae-un save a failure like himself again.
"For now, until then, let's sleep..."
As Soram sluggishly lives his life waiting for that moment, a gradual change occurs in his heart.

Leonardo was calculative and astute, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had been observing Hugo for some time now. However, Leonardo's answer was something that even Hugo had not anticipated.
