Chapter Index

    The rescued woman was always walking behind us with a bright smile on her face.

    Sometimes, I would sneakily stand and walk next to Jaehoon.

    Of course, Eun-jeong glared sharply each time, and only then did the woman get away from Jae-hoon as if she was disappointed.

    What can I say, she was a shameless woman.

    [I am amazed that the Goddess of Justice has saved another person.]

    I didn’t ask for it.

    To be precise, we all were saved.

    By the way, you see me often.

    It’s a bit of an uncomfortable interest.

    I slowly looked at the saved woman.

    ‘Am I right?’

    To be honest, looking at it now, I wasn’t sure.

    The girl I know is a bit more cruel and self-indulgent.

    What can I say now?

    It was just a little shameless and sly.

    Well, originally, she was a character that appeared only after the original work had progressed quite a bit.

    The events of that time may have changed her.

    At least it didn’t seem like I was looking at the wrong person.

    I don’t know their personalities, but their appearances were very similar.

    That white shirt, black skirt, and even the hair covering one eye.

    It looked exactly like a woman named Han So, one of the main villains in the original work.

    “So what are you going to do?”

    “…Huh?”

    “…Are you going to take me home like this?”

    “That’s…”

    When Eun-jeong asked Jae-hoon, Jae-hoon looked at So-yi in confusion.

    Soyi only smiled softly despite receiving that gaze.

    Even though his treatment was being decided right before his eyes, he had a calm expression.

    Rather, Jaehoon’s eyes began to flutter, perhaps because this made him feel guilty.

    Eunjeong sighed, held her head, and spoke to me.

    “…Uncle, can you take her somewhere for a while? Let’s talk.”

    mister?

    Could it be me?

    I’ve gotten a little bigger recently, and I’ve been through a lot of hardships, so my skin is a bit tan, but my appearance is definitely average for someone in their 20s.

    Even though Eun-jeong has just entered her 20s and Jae-hoon next to her has a young face, it is easy to compare, am I ready to be called an uncle?

    My mouth opened without me knowing.

    “Uncle? Is there a man here?”

    “…annoying…”

    When I spoke slyly, Eun-jeong frowned and muttered.

    And then he spoke reluctantly.

    “…Brother, take him with you and go a little further away.”

    “Is that so?”

    “…annoying…”

    When I responded quickly to being called oppa, Eun-jeong muttered that even that was annoying.

    With a satisfied expression on my face, I took Soyi and headed inside the now empty cafe.

    It was a space where the two people could neither be seen nor heard.

    And then I looked down at Soi.

    Her skin and shirt were slightly wet with sweat as she had been chased by a goblin.

    Nevertheless, there was almost no indication that it was difficult, and it was surprising that they kept smiling.

    There was an eerie feeling in the laughter, as if it were just mouthing with unfocused eyes.

    Maybe this is because I know her future.

    Soi looked up at me and slowly opened her mouth.

    “What is your name?”

    ” He… is a saint…”

    “No, it’s that person.”

    “…Oh, Jaehoon?”

    My pride was a little hurt, but at the same time I was relieved that he wasn’t interested in me.

    Even though she was a beautiful woman, this was my first time with a beautiful woman that I didn’t want to be associated with.

    Although it was our first conversation, informal language came out as a habit.

    Soyi didn’t seem to care much.

    Seeing that my pride was a little hurt, he covered his mouth and laughed, saying it was a joke.

    “What is that woman’s name?”

    “Next to her is Eunjeong…”

    “Ugh…”:

    I asked, but when I actually told him, he responded as if he wasn’t interested at all.

    Was it a formal question?

    and at the same time asked me

    “You like that person I mentioned earlier… Eunjeong, right?”

    “Yes.”

    I answered coolly.

    Anyway, I actively urged him to call me oppa a while ago and even appealed to him, so there was no need to hide anything.

    Soyi smiled slightly and responded to my reaction.

    “Then shall we help each other?”

    “…What?”

    “I like Jaehoon. How about helping each other connect with people they like?”

    Soyi said that calmly.

    “…Well. It’s not decided that we’ll go together yet?”

    The words came out a little coldly.

    I can’t help it.

    Because deep down in my heart, I don’t want to go around with Soyi.

    “You know, right?”

    Soyi was sure.

    “Jaehoon is not the kind of person who will abandon me.”

    As if we were old friends.

    He spoke as if he knew everything about Jaehoon.

    And I hate to admit it, but Soyi’s thoughts were the same as mine.

    Jaehoon will eventually convince Eunjeong.

    He says he can’t abandon Soyi like this, and that they have to go together. I will persuade Eun-jeong.

    In the end, Eun-jeong will listen to Jae-hoon.

    Because she likes Jaehoon.

    I appraised the walls of Soi.

    [Castle: Falling in love easily, doing most things a person you like]

    I stared blankly at the wall of Soi.

    Aside from falling in love easily, what does it mean to say that almost all of your actions are temperamental?

    If you like someone, you like them no matter what they do.

    But falling in love right away?

    I fell in love so quickly that it’s written on the castle wall.

    I looked at Soyi blankly.

    Soyi also reacted to my gaze and looked at me.

    I was momentarily startled and turned my head.

    However, when I turned my head, Soyi walked into my field of vision.

    “So what is the answer?”

    “Ah…”

    The idea was to help each other.

    Okay, I’m sorry, Jaehoon, but you need to make a sacrifice.

    “…Okay, let’s help each other.”

    If Jaehoon and Soy did well, it would actually be good for me.

    Because I had to attack Eunjeong.

    And with perfect timing, I heard footsteps.

    “The two of you seem to have a good relationship.”

    It was Eunjeong.

    Then Soyi answered calmly.

    “Yes, we get along well.”

    “…”

    I just kept my mouth shut.

    If you open your mouth now, I will somehow deny what you said.

    “…Just take it.”

    Eunjeong held out something to me.

    It was a familiar-looking piece of paper.

    “Focus?”

    “With this, we will find a base nearby just for the two of us. And two people are staying there. That’s the condition for adding Soyi to the party.”

    “…Huh?”

    I made a blatant expression of disapproval, but Eun-jeong nailed it, saying that it had already been decided after talking with Jae-hoon.

    No, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

    To be honest, the villa where Jaehoon lives was too small for four people to stay.

    However, it was a bit difficult for me to understand the idea of using the same base as Soi.

    “No matter what, sharing the same house as a man and a woman…separates them into men and women…”

    “Why? You said you like pretty women?”

    “…No, that’s true…”

    I did say that.

    Actually, all men like pretty women.

    However, it was not easy to like the main villain, a pretty future mass murderer.

    And Eunjung was a little too mischievous.

    How would Soyi feel if I said that at the right time?

    I glanced at Soyi.

    I feel a little unfair that I am the only one complaining.

    However, So-yi was more positive about Eun-jeong’s opinion.

    “Good, let’s do that. Then.”

    “…Really?”

    Even Eunjung seemed surprised by those words.

    I agreed even though it meant being alone with me, a man.

    That’s how much I want to join this party.

    “Do I have to stay in the same house with that one?”

    That’s it.

    When I look back on my actions so far, I understand.

    “Why on earth do you want to go with us so much?”

    Eunjeong asked that question one more time.

    To be honest, I didn’t think Soyi would accept it.

    Soi said with a grin.

    “Because I like cool men.”

    “…”

    It was an answer that felt like déjà vu.

    But maybe it was because she looked pretty, but unlike me, the answer didn’t feel that unfavorable to me.

    Of course, this wouldn’t be the case for Eun-jeong.

    The two looked sharply into each other’s eyes for a moment as if they were having a snowball fight.

    “…Oppa, I’ll see you here tomorrow around 10 o’clock.”

    “Huh? Uh.”

    Still, they call me oppa.

    Where did I not say uncle or that?

    Eun-jeong said that and headed to the villa without even saying goodbye to So-i.

    Soyi spoke to me as if she didn’t really care.

    “Let’s go, we have to find a base too.”

    “…Yes, that should be done before then.”

    I handed the bat to Soyi.

    There was work to be done before finding a base.

    “Why is this…”

    “Kill only 10 goblins.”

    “…”

    She had been chased by goblins just now, but that was obviously because she had no weapon.

    “Why?”

    “…They gave me points for killing goblins, so I thought it would be helpful later.”

    Since it wasn’t inside the base, this was all I could explain.

    The Constellation might be listening.

    However, Soyi seemed to find the word point interesting and immediately nodded.

    “Yes, if you look for the base, you will come across a few.”

    Soi was running away from the goblin, but as soon as she received the bat, she casually said she was going to fight.

    As he said, we started hunting goblins to find a base.

    And I swear I didn’t help her at all.

    “…”

    We succeeded in finding an open villa that wasn’t too bad.

    But none of that mattered.

    ‘There were about 30 goblins that Jae-hoon and Eun-jeong hunted, even rescuing So-i.’

    And the goblin that Soi hunted for a while while visiting the villa whose door was now open–

    “How many points do you have?”

    “Me? 31 points.”

    “…You really have no skills, right?”

    “What is a skill?”

    I may have been ignoring the future main villain too much.
