00169 Unexpected Meeting ———————————————- ————————–=

Everyone’s eyes were on me, but I kept a calm face. If you show embarrassment here, you will fall right into Go Yeon-ju’s plan. After giving him a light sniffle, I calmly began to explain. In addition to briefly explaining what happened so far, the transaction with her ended yesterday and that she has joined our new clan. In the meantime, the fact that they had a little time competing to check each other’s skills was just a small story.

My companions showed different reactions to my words. The kids were surprised that there was such a deal between me and Go Yeon-ju, the users were surprised that Go Yeon-ju had officially joined our clan, and the stupid residents were not interested in my story and were surprised by the generous amount of food that Go Yeon-ju brought. I was just a little sad that no one seemed to pay attention to the fact that I won the round of 10. Of course, there are some things I said that were euphemistic.

Since she spoke as slowly as possible, I thought food would be served along the way, but surprisingly, she brought food near the end. And that too, with a pile of food piled on the cart. The initial confusion on her face was gone, and before she knew it, she was putting down her food one by one with a bright smile on her face.

“wow. High user performance. I heard about it from my brother. “Welcome to join the clan.”

“huh? Ho Ho. It looks like Su-hyeon has already talked. Anyway, thank you.”

Go Yeon-ju spoke informally even though no one gave permission, but no one could object. This is because, considering age and current position, it is nothing but natural. The kids didn’t seem to care much about the way she spoke, which was a huge improvement compared to the pain she was experiencing at first. On the contrary, Anhyeon was pointing at each piece of food with an excited face and flapping about.

“What is this meat? Just looking at it grilled until golden brown makes my mouth water. And this sprinkled on top… .”

“iced coffee. A medicinal herb named Pagra. “If you eat it with food, the peculiar unpleasant smell disappears, and it is especially good for men’s stamina.”

“yes yes? Ah, I see. Then this food… .”

“I sliced ​​the potatoes thinly, fried them on a fire board, and topped them with slightly melted cheese. Of course, it is not a modern cheese, but can be considered a whole plain cheese. “It is especially good for male stamina.”

“… … .”

“Ah, this is a fresh and crunchy vegetable salad. Try it. “It is especially good for male stamina.”

Anhyeon seemed to refuse to ask any more questions. Nevertheless, Go Yeon-ju continued to speak steadfastly. And seeing as he looked at me every time he put down a piece of food and pushed the three foods mentioned above closer to me, I could see that it was a very intentional action. I had no idea that they would start a fire again like this, so I was quite embarrassed this time.

“haha… . “Yes, I feel like my upper leg is broken.”

When an awkward atmosphere was forming, user Shin Sang-yong brightened the mood by smiling shyly. Seeing Vivian only happy with the abundant food in the narrowed gaze of several of my companions, I decided to cancel what I had just called a stupid resident.

After getting over what happened in the morning, we, or rather I, were barely able to finish our meal. I felt angry at Go Yeon-ju’s behavior of repeatedly recommending the foods mentioned above, but I chewed them thoroughly, promising that I would pay him back properly someday.

After eating breakfast and lunch, the first thing the group talked about was Chaos Mimic. The kids seemed anxious to open it right away, but I shook my head excitedly. Even if you open it, you have to remove all the smoke before you can take it out, and you also have to bring the sword and the remaining bottle of elixir. Of course, I couldn’t tell you the reason behind it. So I decided to release it after removing all the confusion. Even if the acting was removed right now, it would probably not be released until this evening, so the opening would have to happen after that.

After laughing bitterly at the sullen children, I told them some news that would cheer them up. That means giving them a day off today. I told the user, Jeong Ha-yeon, that I would leave some pocket money with her, so it was okay for me not to practice today. Everyone made facial expressions as if they liked those words, but there was some purpose involved. Looking forward to the children’s return later, I asked Hayeon to come to my office after dinner.

*

I sat at the table and chair in the special room on the 3rd floor for the first time in a long time. I look down at the scribbled record just now. Since I always had the habit of writing down complicated things and then organizing them, I could see it as a kind of habit.

Issuance of two performance certificates. Submission of expedition report. Chaos Mimic opening and achievement processing. Apply to create a clan. Recruitment of Ko Yeon-joo. Among them, I drew two lines on the last thing I wrote about recruiting Ko Yeon-joo. Then, he scribbled with a quill and added one piece of content to the top.

Information collection. There was a need to find out what was the current plan to exterminate the vagabonds and what the Golden Lion Clan was doing. Go Yeon-ju is probably working hard to gather information by now, so we will be able to hear the story by tomorrow evening at the latest. And before that, I thought it would be a good idea to send the kids out and get a general sense of the city’s atmosphere.

smart.

At that time, while I was twirling my quill and lost in thought, I heard someone knocking on the door. “Come on in.” As I responded, I immediately saw the office door open slightly. Eventually, the user who entered the door was a beautiful woman with short hair and an elegant appearance.

“Su-hyun. “He called me.”

“yes. Hayeon. “Come closer.”

She closed the door tightly at my call. Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of something being locked. While I was tilting her head, she came over to the table, pulled her chair close to me, and put her butt right there.

Hayeon’s face was very calm. It almost felt like she had made it up. A strange feeling came over me, but I decided to start with the introduction. Then, after rummaging around in his pocket, he took out a bag of money he had prepared in advance and opened his mouth.

“Hayeon. “I called you because I had a favor to ask.”

“Are you looking after the kids?”

“haha… . It’s similar. “Would you like to take a quick look around the city today?”

“I don’t think it’s just sightseeing.”

Looking at her still sharp, I lowered my head. Now it was time to get to the point.

“yes. that’s right. “I’ve only been in Mule for less than a day, but the city is so quiet.”

“hmm. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“I think users are slowly coming in. Then at least we should have something to talk about. Aside from the plan to exterminate the vagabonds, there are things like the Golden Lion Clan’s advance into the Iron Mountains and the excavation of ruins. But I don’t hear any of that.”

“Hmm. It could be because it hasn’t been long since I came here. The Golden Lion Clan may be under attack. However, excavating ruins would be a pretty big issue, so the lack of response is definitely suspicious.”

As expected, her head turns quickly. When I say pretend, I say pretend, and he was pointing out exactly what I was having trouble with. I pushed her record book in front of her and continued her words.

“is it so. So, I’m thinking of going to the temple right now. The two ruins are not extremely far away like the Screaming Cave, so it makes no sense to say that they could not be investigated for three weeks. “I think there’s something different.”

“aha. Then, I and other users can just walk around the city and gather information.”

“Yes. Still, it’s in the name of vacation, so don’t go around too hard. “All you have to do is get some rest, eat delicious food, and get a sense of the mood.”

“It’s not that difficult. however… .”

Hayeon looked at the record and hesitated for a moment. Her gaze was directed to the bottom where two lines were drawn. She hesitated for a moment, but then her sullen eyes lowered her eyes and she grabbed her pocket.

“Oh, no. “Then I’ll just leave.”

“wait a minute.”

“oh… .”

I grabbed Hayeon’s arm as she tried to get up, and forced her to sit down again. She sat down again with a confused look on her face, as if she didn’t know that I would do something like this.

“What’s wrong. “Your expression doesn’t look very good.”

“… … .”

Hayeon avoided my gaze without saying anything. But as he continued to stare at her face, she ended up biting her lip.

“sorry.”

“What am I sorry about?”

“Hey, me. I ended up doubting Soo-hyeon this morning. And after hearing the explanation, or rather explanation, that followed, I felt reassured again.”

“What else can I say? “We just fought 1:1 and haven’t done anything like that yet, so don’t worry.”

“yet… “This.”

Hayeon repeated the word “not yet” and smiled sadly. I felt like I had made a mistake and was about to open my mouth again. She quietly shook her head, silenced me, and then calmly opened her mouth.

“I guess I haven’t let go of the feelings of living in modern times yet. This is Hall Plain. Of course it could happen. Even when I think about it myself, I think I am taking it too sensitively. “I’m sorry for causing you unnecessary worry.”

“no… .”

“If you think about it, it’s funny jealousy. I seduced Soo-hyeon, and she fell into my arms because I wanted to. From the kids’ point of view, she’s just as bad, and I have no justification for detaining Su-hyeon… .”

She doesn’t look like her usual Ha-yeon. Although she seemed calm on the outside, it seemed as if her mind was tightly entangled in gibberish. What on earth should I say at a time like this? While I was thinking about it for a while, I suddenly remembered the stories that the two users exchanged during the first round.

I quietly raised my head and stared at Hayeon. She always seemed calm and intelligent, but now in front of me, her face was red and she looked helpless. Her expression looked sad, but that sad expression and her whole attitude somehow gave me a good feeling. It was then.

Excited.

It was only once, but I could feel my heart beating in my chest. At the same time, unfamiliar yet not bad emotions spread throughout my body. No, since they are not unfamiliar, should I say that they are feelings that were lost? Without thinking about anything, I just reflexively reached for the drawer. That’s because I put Horrence’s beads in the drawer last night.

however. I couldn’t put any strength into my hand holding his handle.

I could see Hayeon’s anxiety. If she had been Yeonjoo, she would have laughed it off. However, in that respect, she was still a user who had not completely escaped the shadow of the Earth and modern times. Moreover, she seemed to be attaching greater meaning to chastity as it was her first experience with me.

In other respects, she is a well-adjusted user, but it seems that her irritants are not so easily healed. It was clear that she was confused by the disparity between modern and Hall Plain views of male-female relationships.

“… … .”

It’s not that I couldn’t give it strength, it’s that I didn’t give it strength. It was an action of my own will. Eventually, I loosened my grip on the handle. Now I felt like I wanted to ride the wave of this emotion spreading throughout my body.

Hayeon must have realized that she was speaking incoherently and kept her mouth shut. I quietly reached out to her shoulder, hoping that the conversation I remembered between the two users would be effective. When I extended my hand to Hayeon, her body trembled as if she wanted to run away, but she did not avoid my touch.

And, the moment I put my hand on her shoulder and pulled her slightly closer.

“ah… .”

Like a lie, she came into my arms. I drew her trembling body and slowly stroked her hair and opened her mouth.

“Hayeon. Do you remember the day we first made love?”

“That day… . How could you forget? “I remember it.”

“Hayeon was like that at that time. “Can you become one of those precious people?”

“And you said you couldn’t be cruel enough to throw away someone who likes you, gives for you, and wants to rely on you. People who hate me, as well as other people, don’t care. I’m busy taking care of the people around me. “I ended up asking if that was a bad thing.”

As I recalled her words, she also repeated what I said next. Seeing that he knew so accurately, it seemed like he really remembered the events of that day very strongly. So, it means that that day was an impressive day for her. I hugged her even tighter and continued her words.

“is it so. I’ll tell you this up front now. Like I said back then, I can’t throw away people who want to rely on me. “If something like Hayeon happens again, I might do something that will disappoint Hayeon.”

It took more courage than I thought to say this. She honestly thought that, worst case scenario, she would see her cry. But I was already telling a lot of lies to my companions. Even if it was an unavoidable lie, a lie was still a lie. At the very least, I wanted to tell the truth to the people who entrusted me with their lives, excluding the parts that I could not reveal. And even more so if it’s something complex like the relationship between men and women.

However, Hayeon immediately ran away with her head buried in my arms.

“Ugh. no. Actually, I knew. Not to be a precious person, but to be one of the precious people. From then on, when you said that, I already knew it in my head. It’s just that it was difficult for his heart to accept it. I’m so sorry. Ho, it’s a hole plane. I feel bad for no reason… .”

“Hayeon.”

“… “I showed you.”

It seemed like he was blaming himself too much, so I was about to cut him off mid-sentence. However, Hayeon continued his words to the end. After calming her pounding heart, I took her out of her arms and looked straight into her eyes.

I took a deep breath and tried to control my breathing. She was no longer putting on a calm expression. She was just staring at me with her face filled with sorrow. Encouraged by her expression, she gave more strength to her voice and opened her mouth.

“I promise again right here and now. As I said that day, as long as you want me, I will never neglect or abandon you. so… . “Won’t you trust me just this one more time, and always in the future?”
