Connection

Things have blown up bigger than I expected.

Hye-sun unni reacted strongly to the first tears I’ve shed since living as Arang.

I just wanted to take a painkiller for my period cramps, so I was thinking sad thoughts and trying to make a slightly sad face, but tears came out.

It’s a face that hasn’t reacted until now, so I don’t know why it’s suddenly moving now. Hye-sun unni, who directly saw my tears, was greatly flustered.

Hye-sun unni mistook my condition as serious, and I urgently called out to Hye-sun unni and stopped her.

I didn’t know I would shed tears like this either, and I calmly explained to Hye-sun unni that I wasn’t severely in pain, but just wanted to take a painkiller.

,Really? Seriously?”

,Yeah… I didn’t know I would shed tears either, I’m sorry. For surprising you…”

,Huu… No, it’s a relief if Arang is okay. Arang needs to know how scary Arang’s face is. Do you know how much my heart aches when you shed tears with Arang’s face…?”

Hye-sun unni took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief.

,I’m sorry unni… for being noisy at this hour…”

,No, no. Aigoo, tears are too strong, too strong for this pretty and cute face…”

,I’m sorry…”

,It’s okay. It’s okay. But just in case, I’ll draw a little blood.”

,Okay…”

I went to the examination room while being held in Hye-sun unni’s arms.

Is it because I’m sick? Even though Hye-sun unni’s embrace is familiar, it felt warmer and better today.

I closed my eyes and completely entrusted myself to Hye-sun unni.

I’ve caused trouble to many people yesterday and today.

Everyone came to the hospital at just one word that I was sick and genuinely worried about me.

The situation has reversed from when I lived as a man, when I would just take a few pills at home when I was sick, lie in bed, and groan under the blanket feeling lonely.

I feel quite good.

But.

,I need to be careful from now on.’

I felt it again after seeing Hye-sun unni’s reaction this time.

I’m cute now. Very cute, too.

That’s the problem.

The situation I’m in now.

A state where limbs are severed due to a rare disease. A spirit that died and came back to life. A situation that even an ordinary person would have no choice but to sympathize with and be sad about.

But now, I’m such a beautiful girl that I’m startled and feel cute even when I look in the mirror, and I’m perfect, not missing out on anything in beauty, cuteness, and even sexiness.

So, if such a beautiful girl cries and says she’s sick… I think I would react like Hye-sun unni too.

I shouldn’t shed tears like just now when I’m in pain or feeling negative.

This is too dangerous of a weapon.

Let’s use it when I’m feeling positive or when I’m trying to get my way.

,That being said… it’s become difficult to express that I’m in pain.’

You can’t live without being sick. You can catch a cold, get a headache from fatigue, or have your period like this time, or have pain for various reasons.

The situation I’m in exponentially increases the intensity of the expression ,I’m in pain,’ that I use.

I express pain at a level of 3 out of 1 to 10, but because I’m a perfect beautiful girl and have no limbs, it seems like Hye-sun unni feels the pain at a level of 8.

This is something I need to think about a little.

Who says I’m in pain with an intensity of 3 when someone says they’re in pain! They just say they’re in pain.

,Arang-a, I’m going to draw blood.”

,…Okay!”

Blood draw. This is quite a scary test.

Before becoming Arang, it was just something that ended when I stretched out my arm without thinking and spaced out.

But now, I have a body that is very weak to pain and no arms…!

They put something like a rubber band around my armpit and draw blood from the remaining arm, and even though this is the second time after doing it once before, it’s a little scary.

I’m not the type of person to be scared of this, but I can feel that Arang is quite afraid of needles due to her long hospital life.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

Sseueuk.

,Haaht.”

,It’s okay. It’s okay. We’re almost done.”

Because I don’t have arms and legs, my body is sensitive, so I can clearly feel the cold needle entering my arm and even feel the blood being drawn.

The test results showed that there was nothing wrong, and it just ended with me being weak to pain and having more severe period cramps than others.

Hye-sun unni is lying on the bed with me, holding me in her arms and stroking my stomach so I can sleep.

Before falling asleep, I apologized to Hye-sun unni again, and Hye-sun unni said it was okay and stroked me with a smile.

==

This 7-day period made me completely realize that I am a woman.

This tearful period incident made my parents, who are working overseas, come to Korea, and I was with Anna unni while my period was ending.

Everyone was worried about me at first, but they all liked my condition.

Because having a period means that my body is returning to normal.

No, what’s unfair is that having to feel this pain for one week every month is considered normal.

It was the first time in a long time that I was living in reality without connecting to the virtual world.

Living as Arang wasn’t particularly difficult or uncomfortable, but this time I definitely felt discomfort.

Period.

This is truly a sin. I feel incredibly good now that my period is over, but the worst reality is that I have to do it again in about 30 days.

What’s annoying is that my body tends to produce a lot of menstrual blood during my period.

Since I have to keep lying down, I have to forcibly remove the menstrual blood for the sake of cleanliness of my vulva.

When Hye-sun unni holds me up and strokes my stomach, pressing down firmly, the menstrual blood gushes out, and the feeling at that time is so unpleasant that it’s hard to describe.

At this point, I’m not a person, but a Ottogi ketchup bottle.

I sighed and connected to Leore.

After loading, a notice appeared in front of me as soon as I entered Leore.

Usually, even update notices aren’t done like this, but seeing it come into view as soon as I connect, it seems like it’s a bigger notice than I thought.

I clicked on the notice.

Legacy of Raid server integration.

[Precautions]

You will not be able to use the game service and website while maintenance is in progress, and maintenance may end early.

Please exit the game in a safe place before maintenance begins.

,Huh? Server integration?”

I thought they were going to do some big event, but it was suddenly about integrating the servers.

A big event is a big event, but… this is a world-class event.

Integration of all servers. Originally, the servers were different, so we couldn’t even meet or talk to each other, but if they’re all integrated, it means that we’ll be doing all content, from matching to raids, with people from all over the world.

I didn’t expect this.

Now is the right time to integrate the servers. It’s the last season anyway, and there’s nothing to do, so it doesn’t really matter if the servers are down for a week.

To do this so suddenly without any prior notice. Still, it seems like it would be fun if the servers were integrated…

Wait a minute, then what happens to our guild house? They’re not going to randomly kick us out, are they? If they do, I’m really going to find the Leore company.

Heot.

If the servers are integrated, I’ll meet Reina and Emma? Oh… this is very good. Emma. I need Emma.

The guild chat is very active.

They’re talking about the server integration announcement.

,Arang-niiiiim!!!”

,Yeah?”

[SpicySeafoodNoodle] ran up and hugged me tightly.

,Mara-nim, hello.”

,Arang-nim, I was so worried. How’s your body? Are you okay!?”

,I had my first period and it was so painful. The doctor told me not to play games during my period.”

,Are you okay now?”

,Yes. It’s all over.”

,Huu… Do you know how surprised I was when PinkuBerry-nim said in the guild announcement that Arang-nim had a health problem and couldn’t connect for about a week!?”

,No, Pinku unni announced that?”

,Yes!”

Aigoo… No wonder they welcomed me so enthusiastically, there was a reason for it.

No, it’s true that I had a health problem, but if you announce my period like that, it makes me sound like I have a terminal illness.

To say that, it’s somewhat true. I originally had a terminal illness.

,It was just a period, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

,I was so worried when cute Arang-nim said she was sick.”

,What did Mara-nim do for a week?”

,I helped my friends try raids as a healer.”

,I guess healers are in short supply for tries. What did your friends say when they saw your title?”

,Hehehe, everyone applauded and looked up to me!”

I chatted with SpicySeafoodNoodle about this and that, and then the topic led to this announcement.

,What are you going to do until the server integration, Arang-nim? You’ve done everything except raids, right?”

,I’ve finished all the main quests. I don’t have anything to do now, so I’m thinking of trying another game.”

,What!? Ah, no! You can’t abandon us!”

,Abandon you? Anyway, the server will be down for a week during the server integration, right?”

,That’s true…”

,Arang-a~”

Soonchu unni came while I was talking to SpicySeafoodNoodle.

,Arang-a, I’m sorry, unni should have gone to see you…”

Soonchu unni hugged me with a tearful voice and rubbed her cheeks all over mine.

,It’s okay. You said you were very busy.”

,Uuuung~ I was so busy… I should have gone in the evening at least.”

,Eii, it’s awkward to come with your family around.”

,That’s true, but…”

,Soonchu-nim is very close to Arang-nim… I’m jealous.”

,I’m best friends with Arang unni~”

,Heok! Real-life friend…!”

,That’s right, that’s right, I’m real-life friends with Arang~.”

,Heueoeok…! M, Master!”

Hmm… our guild members are getting along very well.
