Chapter 276: Seventy-Third Floor, Waiting Room
[19 minutes 57 seconds until the rest period ends. Please take a rest.]
What? Her sponsor?
The moment I read Ha Hee-Jeong’s message, my mind came to a standstill, as if my brain had simply shut down. Time rewound for a moment as I tried to clear the cobwebs hanging out in my memory.
Ohhhhh. That is right. I remember now.
Only then did I truly realize who Master of the Five Wheels was.
“My sponsor? It’s Master of the Five Wheels.”
“Oh, that sounds pretty legit.”
At the first rest area, everyone in our party had discussed our respective sponsor deities, and of course, their names had come up.
Later, in a private conversation, Ha Hee-Jeong told me that she had regressed thanks to her sponsor. She didn’t know why her god had sent her back, but still, that was the reason.
Since she had never mentioned her sponsor’s name again after that, it had completely slipped my mind.
Seriously, though, how did I forget something like that?
In that moment, I finally understood what Master of the Five Wheels had meant when she had said it had been a long time. She remembered me because she was the one who had turned back time for Ha Hee-Jeong.
