Reminisced League of Nine, part 4 (after battle)
On that spring day, I made a small mirror. I named it 'Yeonsim'.
And, I happened to catch a signal while tuning out numerous noises and shatterings.
In Yeonsim, I met you at last.
My left-handed self... beautiful and serene.
It's a pleasure to meet you. I am...
Yi Sang, isn't it. What a peculiar experience this is.
And that mirror you're holding...
It's what I call Yeonsim.
Yeonsim, huh... (硏, to grind or study; 尋, to seek)
This is a product of grinding something... scraping even the mind to polish it.
I see. I suppose all versions of Yi Sang were dedicated to research.
You have wings on your back, if my eyes aren't being deceitful.
...What do you think of them?
...Resplendent.
They look quite warm... and free.
We looked into and ahead of each other.
I only made minor modifications to Brother Young-ji's work.
I wanted to show a reflection of any possibility in its unvarnished image, without a blur.
The stars I saw while lying on the ground here seemed so far away...
Yet it was possible to see them up close.
Is this why I haven't been able to see you lately? To discover this? I thought you caved to your yearning for rice and went back to S Corp's district...
I'll say, though... This isn't half bad.
Dongrang, why are you laughing like that?
It's just funny that you're talking so ferociously when your eyes are full of curious twinkles.
Yi Sang, will you tell him to shut it?
Why don't you first hide your facial recreation of a child who's tried ice cream for the first time?
Gubo, why don't you say something? You've been part of the League for fairly long now, so stop standing around like a guest.
...What more do I have to add? Everyone already seems to be of one mind.
...If you're trying to be an odd one out, at least have some audacity. Some cold fish you are.
I see... So this... is how you view the world.
...The world I view, is it.
Did you know? They say every invention carries hints of the hopes and dreams of its inventor.
Discovering them is one of the spectators' joys. It's a tidbit that's good to know.
So, Yi Sang, what do you plan to do with this technology?
Do... what exactly?
Brother Young-ji's glass window is already making the rounds. Researchers from other Nests have taken an interest, or so I've heard.
Really... We rarely saw visitors in the past, but now we might have to start punching tickets so all those people will stand in line.
So if you announce your work here...
Dongrang, I have absolutely no intention of announcing this.
...None? At all?
All that I ask...
Is to keep this as a moment of laughter, solely between us.
……
Look, just what is your idea of...
Pft... Yi Sang. That was the second funniest moment I've seen out of you.
The first is... y'know, when the yellow calf was being fed milk, and it suddenly licked his hair... Pfh...
True, I've never seen Dongbaek laugh as loudly as then.
T-That... I think we'd best forget...
Human eyes are such glistening and scalding things. Fearing that they would burn me, I tended to watch them from the side.
However, not seeing the subject straightly does not mean I think lowly of them.
Even without looking, it is possible to seep in.
By the way, is that... the same as the mirror we use?
Similar, to be exact. Limbus Company uses a mirror with special modifications.
You invented something incredible, Yi Sang...
What Young-ji and I did... wasn't invention; we discovered, rather.
T Corp... wouldn't have been pleased with the idea of a technology capable of peeping into other worlds without permission.
I do believe you know well enough that their problem lies with the lack of permission, not the capability of the technology.
Although we had figured that...
We thought it would be fine since it was only used as a pastime between us.
The decision couldn't have been more glib.
