Necromancer Survival

     If Seo Dawon had been revived a little earlier, then those people may still have been on guard against [Red Lotus], and the bond between them may still yet be strong, making it difficult to find opportunities to dig between them.
In Park Hoseok’s murder case, his death may have been more thoroughly investigated.
If they had, there was a higher chance that my existence would have been exposed.

     However, three years had passed by–everything went as they had desired.
And, no one could threaten their positions.
Eventually, they forgot the [Red Lotus] and gradually became wary of each other, wanting to become the second [Red Lotus].

Koo Kyungman’s sudden disappearance would be regarded as a golden opportunity rather than a reason to foster doubt.
After all, the fall of one’s enemy should be a cause for joy rather than vigilance…

     “Then, will you now focus on human relations and use other’s hands to punish your targets?”

     “No, I’m planning on helping Bae Jaemin with his business for a while.” Seo Dawon smiled and gave an unexpected answer to Koo Hui-seo’s question.

     Kim Sangyoon, who was listening calmly, also gave a puzzled look and raised his head.
I honestly didn’t understand his meaning well either, but, when I saw Seo Dawon’s expression, I had a ridiculous inkling.

     “For the time being, setting aside [HaHae], we’ll punish other guild members.
In particularly, I plan to first select those who are strongly opposed to and lobbying against Bae Jaemin’s guild certification.
So, in order to gather this information, we’ll need you, Koo Hui-seo.
Once we’ve gathered a list of names, spent money, sent people, or met them personally…the method doesn’t matter.
Find out as fast as you can who Bae Jaemin’s biggest thorn is.”

     “Then, will Seo Dawon-ssi take care of those people?”

     “That’s right.
I’ll kill them all before Bae Jaemin can intervene.”

    Listening this far, Kim Sangyoon mumbled, “This series of murders could only be seen as advantageous to that person…” I also predicted that several of these incidents would end up isolating Bae Jaemin within his alliance.

    “Bae Jaemin will have a headache trying to get rid of the suspicion.
Furthermore, the word [Red Lotus], like a taboo, will continue to appear at each scene.”

     “Only a few people know about that matter, after all.”

     “I… Then, what should I do?” Kim Sangyoon carefully asked the Mage, eyes shooting around and watching others’ reactions.
Certainly compared to the previous operation, the Warrior was trying to be a more active participant.

     Seo Dawon answered without hesitation, “Go into the dungeons with Lee-kyung-ie.
It’s not long till he’s at the needed level.”

     “Ahh… I understand.”

      “I want to go too…” Of course, Koo Hui-seo, who rushed recklessly into any plans that involved me, quickly interrupted.

      “Didn’t you say the police have their eyes on you?” Dawon responded, as if he were teasing.

Koo Hui-seo bit his thin lips and contemplated for a minute, “I can use a disguise.
In the past, I used to cross-dress as a woman.”

     “In the past? Uh, when?” I asked.

     “Mmm… when I was seven?”

     “That only worked because you were a child…”

     Although he looked emaciated, Koo Hui-seo was well over 180cm tall… It would be strange for him to dress as a woman with that body stature…

     “That…doesn’t really seem right, so don’t do that.” I said, repulsed.

     However, Koo Hui-seo puffed his cheeks and shook his head, as if he were a whining elementary student.
“…You’re too much.
Then when can I be alone with Lee-kyung-ssi?”

     “As long as I’m here, there’s no way you’ll be alone with him.
It’s best for you to quickly abandon hope.”

     “I didn’t ask Seo-Dawon-ssi.”

     “Lee-kyung-ie shares my opinion.” Of course, his attitude rustled Seo Dawon’s temper.
The Mage also needlessly brushed his lips against my forehead gently while lightly brushing my hair affectionately.

     At that sight, Koo Hui-seo put his face into his hands and mumbled something (in a gloomy voice).
The shadows under the sofa where he sat began to flash and tremble… Seo Dawon, rather than quitting, lowered his lips to my nose bridge.

      Eventually, I had to awkwardly turn my head to the side to stop this ridiculousness.
Damn it… If you’re going to fight with Koo Hui-seo, can’t you fight physically? And not like this?

TL: I…didn’t realize Koo Hui-seo was so tall.
Also +1 crossdressing–I’m down for that.

I should take a look at the webtoon; I’m really curious about how they decided to name guilds/skills etc.
Red Lotus, for example, could have been Pink (light red).
I just chose to take the hanja/shorthand for Lotus instead, because I thought it sounded more thematic.
Similarly, skill names could be done differently.
(If so, do I need to standardize? >.
