episode_0097

It was late at night, normally it was time to sleep, but today it wasn’t for Yoosung and Seris. Yoosung sat at the table and drank the tea Seris had made to ease his stomach, while Seris, who sat across from him, looked at Yoosung with suspicious eyes.

“…Yuseong.”

“Why?”

“Are you sure you came here to drink alone?”

“That’s right. Why do you keep asking?”

Yooseong narrowed his eyebrows. Cerise trembled as she remembered how angry he had been a few hours ago, but quickly turned her head away. She was wrong, but that and this are different. Even if I apologize later, I had to deal with it now.

“Really? Can you swear?”

“…”

Yoosung did not open his mouth when he heard the word oath. He just slightly turned his head and drank his tea. When Seris narrowed her eyes and glared at me, she sighed and said as if there was nothing she could do.

“I drank with Amy.”

Cerise widened her eyes.

I felt like I knew what he wanted to say just by looking at his expression. He continued before she could open her mouth.

“How did we meet? I had no intention of drinking together from the beginning.”

This time, Cerise’s mouth popped out. It meant how to believe that.

Yoosung walked over to Seris and sat down next to her. I patted the back of her hand as she looked dissatisfied.

“I’m sorry for lying to you at first. I was afraid you would feel bad. But I didn’t really go out because I wanted to meet her. I met you by chance.”

Yoosung said, looking at Seris with a serious expression. Looking into his eyes, she put her mouth open.

He’s already lied to her, and what he’s saying now may not be the truth. But Seris decided to believe. If you don’t trust your loved ones, who can you trust?

“Did you just drink alcohol?”

However, I can’t help but feel bad.

She wants to see Yoosung have sex with another woman, she doesn’t want him to cheat.

The two looked similar, but there was a big difference.

The difference is whether you give your heart or not.

“We broke up after just drinking.”

“Really?”

“Then.”

“…”

Despite Yoosung’s assertion, Seris was not reassured. I decided to trust him, but the heart doesn’t work as it wants. She put her nose to Yoosung’s body.

Sniff-sniff-

The pretty face frowned.

It smells like a female.

The smell of a female other than her and Kara…!

“Again, another lie…!”

How can you lie twice? Seris trembled from the rising sense of betrayal. On the other hand, Yoosung was so dumbfounded that he burst into laughter.

“Are you a dog? Smell it and notice it?”

“Don’t change your mind. Because it definitely smells like Amy.”

The honorific title ‘Mr.’ has disappeared. Yoosung, who decided that she seemed really angry, quickly made up an excuse.

“That’s natural since I sat next to him. Because I was drunk, I was close to him. You know his style too, right?”

“…”

There is a point.

We haven’t known each other that long, but I’ve seen Amy rubbing her delicate body against Yoosung many times.

Seris looked at the shooting star with some doubt. He stuck out his mouth like a flipper and puffed out his cheeks. When Yooseong nudged me, the wind went out with a whimper.

“…I understand. I will believe it.”

Seris gave up. If you ask her more, Yoosung will keep saying no and she doesn’t have any solid evidence.

Any further questioning is just a waste of time.

“Thank you, for trusting me.”

“If I can’t trust Yoosung, who can I trust? Instead…”

Slurp.

Seris leaned on Yoosung’s shoulder.

“Next time, I won’t lie.”

“Okay. I’m sorry.”

Yoosung wrapped his arms around her and stroked her shoulders. Cerise closed her eyes as she felt that soft touch.

ah…

It is comfortable.

Something warm spread within my heart.

It is not something stimulating like sex, but a subtle sense of satisfaction.

Seris suddenly had this thought.

What have I done so far? I’m just pursuing stimulating things and now I’ve messed up this relationship.

Seris felt ashamed of her actions.

Wise man time.

A time to let go of everything and look at yourself objectively.

When you indulge in sage time, your sexual desire subsides and all desires become insignificant. Because of this, people who are addicted to wise man time often do things they regret, such as deleting pornographic videos.

“Yoosung, can you stop having sex with other women?”

Ceris was the same. She thought what she was doing was right and did it right away. Of course, you will hit the ground running and regret it later. You might try to change your words. But right now, she was confident she wouldn’t regret it.

I don’t even know how arrogant that is.

Seris enjoyed happiness by rubbing her cheek on Yoosung’s shoulder. And imagine a happy future with Yoosung…

“I don’t like it.”

“…?”

Cerise lifted her head from where she had been leaning. My eyes widened, wondering what I had just heard. Yoosung spoke again with a strict, solemn and serious face.

“I don’t like it.”

“I don’t like it…?”

I was dumbfounded. It’s because I didn’t know he would say something like that.

Seris stuttered, completely embarrassed.

“So, you mean you don’t like having sex with other women, right? sorry. I didn’t think about Yoosung and was too selfish.”

Yoosung shook his head. As if what Seris understood was wrong.

“Let’s continue.”

“What do you mean by continuing?”

“Why are you doing this when you know?”

Cerys took a deep breath as she laughed.

‘Let’s continue…’

Why, why does he say that? Just a moment ago, he got so angry and left the house.

Why in that short period of time…

‘ah.’

Seris remembered what had happened in that moment.

‘Amy..!’

That girl must have said something to him. How on earth did they trick you into falling for Yoosung?

My teeth chattered.

‘Like Kara said, you shouldn’t have done anything with that woman.’

It’s like flirting as soon as an opportunity arises. At first, I was tempted to persuade Kara, but now that it is wise man time, I regret that decision.

They should have recruited someone who upholds the good, like Anne, even if she was a little less annoying.

“Seris? Are you listening to me?”

“Yes? Ah yes. I’m listening.”

“Really?”

Yoosung continued speaking again. But it didn’t reach Seris’s ears. Because she was busy trying to think of a way to get Amy away.

“…Seris.”

“I’m listening.”

“Then tell me what I was talking about.”

“Uh… that means…”

When Seris couldn’t answer and looked away, Yoosung sighed. Seris lowered her head.

“I’m sorry… What were you talking about?”

“Amy has decided to become an official party member for a while.”

“…Yes? What is that all of a sudden?”

“It’s difficult to recruit one or two new people for each request. So, I thought it would be better to find an official party member at this point.”

“Well… it doesn’t have to be Amy, right?”

Seris asked carefully. For her part, she wanted to prevent Amy from becoming an official party member. However, Yoosung seemed stubborn.

“Amy’s skills are not bad and her personality is flawless. I’ve already guessed it a few times. I think it’s okay.”

There are no corners?

that is?

Seris thought that Yooseong seemed to have a strong hold on that woman. Otherwise, there is no way he, a cool-headed person, would think like this.

It was when Seris was trying to say something to persuade him. Yooseong grabbed her and stood up.

“Tired. Let’s stop sleeping.”

“Yes, yes? Now, wait a minute. Talk a little more…”

“I’m tired, Seris.”

As if he didn’t want to talk any more, he headed towards the blanket he had laid out on the floor. As he lay down next to Kara, he also laid Cerys down next to him.

“Good night, Seris.”

Yoosung held her in his arms and closed his eyes. Cerys didn’t know what to do. She groaned and worried about what to do next, and only after a long time did she fall asleep.

* * *

“Yeo~!”

In front of the Adventurer’s Guild, Amy smiled and raised her hand. Kara frowned when she noticed her, and Seris lowered the corners of her mouth. It looks like he doesn’t like it.

‘Even just in the morning, there was a lot of criticism.’

In the morning, Cerise told Kara about what happened last night. Kara then asked why she decided without telling her, and although others may not know, Amy said it was not possible. Seris took Kara’s side and said everything she couldn’t say last night.

When I saw that, I was happy that my idea seemed to have worked.

If you keep torturing me like this just a little longer, I’m sure he’ll change his mind.

‘I was a little surprised when Cerise asked me to quit last night…’

But I know that’s not what she means. It may have just been a brief change in mood, but after a few days, he would change his mind again.

You can’t change your plans because of something like that.

“Did you go well last night?”

Before I knew it, Amy had approached me and tapped my shoulder.

“Uh, I wasn’t so drunk that I was speechless.”

“That’s a good thing. I thought I couldn’t go back properly because I used a lot of energy yesterday.”

Amy said, glancing back at Seris and Kara. There was a mischievous smile on her face, so I could understand why she was doing that.

“Hey, power!? Yoosung clearly said he only came after drinking…!”

“Oppa, explain!”

Sister Cerise waved my arms and pecked me from both sides.

“Just looking at it, you can see that Amy is teasing him. What if I fall for something like this?”

At my words, the two people said, ‘Oh, that was a lie…’ and put down my arms. Relief flashed across my face.

“Oh my, didn’t you tell them? Sorry sorry. I thought I said everything~”

But that wasn’t the end of Amy’s provocations. At her sly voice, Seris and Kara’s heads turned and glared at Amy as if she were going to kill them. Rather than being discouraged by that gaze, Amy covered her mouth with her hand and giggled.

I raised my hand and got between the three people. It felt like a real fight would break out if I didn’t mediate the harsh atmosphere.

“Seris, Kara, calm down. Amy, don’t make up stories that don’t exist and cause unnecessary trouble. It’s the same party from now on.”

“Hmph… Okay~ Sorry guys. Nothing really happened last night, so you can rest assured?”

Amy said, twisting the corner of her mouth. Nevertheless, Kara and Seris’ eyes did not change. In fact, the force that went into Kara’s fist seemed to have become stronger. In Ceris’ case, she was so angry that she was shaking.

‘,,.Wait a minute, is he really shaking because he’s angry?’

I narrowed my eyes and observed Seris closely. And I was able to realize it. That’s not full anger, it’s half anger, half excitement.

‘Whenever you asked me to quit last night.’

How can you not make it through the day?

Despair passed through my heart.

As expected, it was good that I refused to quit yesterday.

“Let’s go in first. You came here to receive a request.”

I took the three feuding people with me and entered the guild. Today too, I passed by the other adventurers who were making noise and headed to the reception desk. As always, I approached Orr and said hello.

“Ah, Mr. Han Yu-seong is here. There is someone waiting.”

Or came out of the reception desk quickly, grabbed my arm, and dragged me in. It was so sudden that I was taken by her in a daze. Sisters Cerise and Amy were also embarrassed and soon followed us.

“Wait? Who is waiting for me?”

“Mr. Cohen.”

“I don’t know the name, but…”

“I know this name.”

“Yes?”

What does what you know have to do with me?

Orr smiled slightly as he made a puzzled face.

“It’s just a joke, he’s from the Red Heart Adventure Team.”

“You mean the Red Heart Adventurer?”

The Red Heart Adventurer is the place where Or always sings about being the pride of Kalita.

But why did you come to visit me there?

I was about to ask him about it, but he had already arrived at the reception room. Orr opened the door and I went inside with her. Sisters Cerise and Amy came in behind us.

“Oh, you’re finally here?”

Waiting inside was an old man with gray hair. However, unlike other elderly people who were crooked or short, he had a strong appearance. He got up from his chair and smoothed his handsome beard.

“Are you soldier Han Yu-seong?”

“That’s right, but who are you?”

“Ah, this is rude. My name is Cohen. I am part of the Red Heart Adventure Team.”

“ is your grade!”

Or whispered in my ear. At the same time, Cohen held out his hand. I stared for a moment, then reached out and held his hand.

“This is Han Yu-seong. By the way, Mr. Cohen, why are you looking for me? I have never met Mr. Cohen.”

“Now there will be a lot to see.”

“Yes?”

“I heard you reached the same level a while ago? So I looked into your whereabouts a little bit. Starting at the iron level, I reached the bronze level in less than half a year, and the success rate of requests was high. That was very impressive. I’d like to talk to you personally…do you have time?”

“Hmm…”

As I hesitated for a moment in his story, Orr hit me hard on the side. I asked why he was hitting me, but he didn’t respond quickly and got angry, asking me what he was doing.

I answered hastily.

“Yes, as long as you have time.”

“Good. I also happen to have a lot of time. Let’s go to our guild and have a cup of tea.”

Cohen grinned and walked past us. asked him.

“Can my group go with me?”

“Your group?”

Cohen glanced at Sister Cerise and Amy. They smiled awkwardly.

“Well, I also read the records of your companions. They are all gems. Someday I will spread my wings and fly.”

“Then…”

“But not now. You’re the one I want to talk to right now. Bye.”

With those words, Cohen went out. It was said politely, but in the end, the group was not allowed to go. I had no choice but to ask for understanding from the three people, but Orr slapped me on the back again.

“Why don’t you follow along quickly?! I will talk to the three of you, so Mr. Han Yu-seong, please quickly follow Mr. Cohen!”

“Ah, I understand. Please stop hitting me.”

“Quickly, quickly!”

Orr practically pushed me out of the room. As I came out of the room, I saw Cohen walking alone in the distance.

‘They don’t even wait for me.’

I hurriedly followed behind him.

* * *

“Do you know? Mr. Han Yu-seong is now blessed. Chulset-gil has rolled in!”

Orr spoke impassionedly about Sister Seris, who was bewildered by her sudden return. Then the two soon realized the situation and smiled brightly with their mouths wide open.

“Really? Mr. Yoosung, are you going to succeed?”

“Of course!”

“Wow, then you’ll make a lot of money, right? Even a broken bed can be fixed. Now let’s buy a more expensive one!”

“The bed is broken…?”

Orr tilted his head and opened his mouth as he realized the meaning of the words. He looked at Seris and Kara alternately and made a manly face.

“I had a vague idea, but… You live quite, quite promiscuously, right?”

“Oh, no. The bed is just old and broken. Right, Kara?”

“Ugh, yes! Perhaps because it was an old house, the bed was old.”

The sisters hurriedly took care of the situation, but they did not reach Or’s ears. She looked at Sister Cerise, repeating ‘Oh my, my!’ and the sister fervently confessed her innocence.

Amy laughed at the funny sight and then looked towards the door where the shooting star came out.

‘Hmm… I shouldn’t be doing this.’

I decided to give up… but I keep getting greedier.

Amy wiped her lips with the tip of her tongue.
