Chapter Index

    “Please drop me off here.”

    As he said that, Kylon handed me the card. With a beep, the taxi fare went down to zero, and it felt really strange to get out of the car with Kylon’s help.

    Well, I guess I’ve seen cars, but I don’t think I’ve ever ridden one.

    I wonder if the first car I rode in was a taxi. How strange.

    The horse didn’t make any noises like “hee-hee-hee” and there was no rattling sound as the cart wheels passed over the dirt road. It just went “woo-woo” smoothly along the flat road, and it still felt like my body was trembling.

    As I got out of the car, the cold air greeted me again, but I was wearing the padding that Kyleon had worn when we first met, so it didn’t feel as cold.

    “Ugh,” he groaned, looking up at the cold that hit his face.

    It looked completely different from the house I knew.

    I opened my eyes wide and raised my head at the sky-piercing height.

    Looking around, I saw expensive-looking cars parked one by one.

    After staring at it for a while, Kylon chuckled from the side.

    “It’s like a baby I’ve never seen before.”

    The moment I heard that, I realized that I had been looking around with such an excited expression, and I felt embarrassed.

    He kept his mouth shut and lowered his head.

    Then, what approached was Kylon’s hand.

    The shoulder that was caught was pulled and held in Kylon’s arms.

    The moment I hugged him, Kylon kissed my head and walked away with me.

    “This is my house. This is where you will live too. I will tell you the password.”

    “Oh, thank you.”

    As I entered the apartment building, the marble floor greeted me.

    After that, I took the elevator, walked down the hallway, and entered a beautiful landscape that I had never seen before.

    No, it’s a house, but calling it a view is a bit strange.

    Inside the pure white house, a stone floor instead of wooden planks greeted me.

    But the floor was surprisingly clean and didn’t feel dirty.

    I thought there were houses with floors like this, so I stepped out, and a cold sensation greeted my feet.

    “Oh, I have slippers. Put these on.”

    “Uh, uh.”

    I put on the shoes Kylon gave me, making a stupid sound.

    As I walked inside, wondering if it was okay for a complete outsider to come into a place like this, I was struck by how spacious and spacious the house really was.

    The ceiling of the house seems secretly high, the sofa looks softer than the bed, and also, the TV looks big, there is a low table between the sofa and the TV, the kitchen is visible on the opposite side of the road, and there are two more rooms across from the entrance and at the end.

    It was a world I saw for the first time.

    Although it was just one house, it was also a new environment and world, so I was so dumbfounded that I found myself opening my mouth and looking around without realizing it.

    There was so much to see, so many things I was seeing for the first time, and so many things that piqued my curiosity that I had no idea where to start or what to ask about.

    As I was looking around like that, Kylon stared at me for a while and then went into his room and brought out a bunch of clothes.

    “It looks similar to my original body type. Do you want to wear this?”

    “… Is that a Kaylon outfit?”

    “Ugh, now I can’t wear it.”

    Looking at the clothes that Kylon had given me, there were surprisingly many different types. Some looked completely like pajamas, some were sleeveless T-shirts, and some were just plain short-sleeved shirts with pants that looked like they would fit my butt.

    As he fiddled with his pants, sweating profusely, Kylon added, “Ah.”

    “Those are dolphin pants.”

    “Why?”

    “Why are you just calling it that? There’s also a story that the company that first made it was Dolphin.”

    “… I see. But isn’t it too short… ”

    “You were wearing that lewd saintly outfit so well at first.”

    “That’s all I gave you?”

    “Then I should just give you this.”

    “What.”

    Kylon said that and quickly took away the other clothes.

    Without being able to protest, I just blankly stared at the white T-shirt and dark blue dolphin pants.

    But I thought, “It’s okay because it’s pants and not like my butt is exposed.”

    Anyway, the only person who will see it will be Kylon.

    Kylon went back to put away his clothes, came back empty-handed, and glanced around the room.

    “Oh, I turned on the boiler.”

    “Uh, uh.”

    “Go change your clothes.”

    At those words, I felt dumbfounded for a moment and placed my hand on my chest.

    She untied the strings attached to the buttons, took off the cape, took off the veil on her head, and finally, untied the sleeves and took off all of the clothes that were connected like a one-piece dress.

    After that, he put on a T-shirt and dolphin pants, and Kylon just blankly looked at him and then exclaimed, “Wow.”

    “Why is that…?”

    “No, I didn’t even draw the living room curtains, so I just changed here.”

    “Ah.”

    “What, the floor is high, so no one would have seen it.”

    “No, ah, I just told you to change… ”

    “Okay. Okay. It suits you well.”

    Kylon just gave me a look that seemed to enjoy seeing me embarrassed.

    I did what Kylon told me to do, but I realized later that I had acted unconsciously and without thinking.

    A sigh escaped me.

    “Follow me.”

    As he said that, Kylon slowly showed me around the house.

    “This is the biggest room, my room.”

    “Oh… ”

    “This room is a closet, and that room is a room that mom and dad use for a little while. They really don’t use it much.”

    There were three rooms, and each room was surprisingly spacious. The living room was the largest of all.

    “This is the kitchen, as you know, and this fridge is for snacks, this fridge is for ingredients? The kimchi fridge is outside on the veranda.”

    “Oh, there are a lot… ”

    Is this what they call spoon-fed education? I felt dizzy.

    I was so distracted by the sudden surge of things.

    There are two refrigerators, and a kimchi refrigerator, for a total of three.

    The kitchen appeared to have a flat, black acrylic plate instead of a gas range.

    I know about microwaves. And there’s also something called an oven.

    Oh, oh, I nodded in admiration, and finally Kylon brought me into his room.

    “There’s a bathroom in there, so you can use it when you’re in the room.”

    “The bed is also wide… ”

    “It originally belonged to my parents, but since they are not home often, I am using it. I also got permission.”

    “I see. But, I don’t know if I can stay here.”

    While mumbling and saying that, Kylon kept patting my back and telling me that it was okay.

    “Hey, hey. Even if you and I swap genders, how can you believe me? You live as Yoo Min-hee and I live as Han Ji-min? ”

    “Well, I don’t know if that will work out.”

    “People change in an instant, so what?”

    Kylon said, pointing to a desk in the room.

    “There’s a computer over there. If it’s a game, I might get bored and not play it, but I think it’ll be boring anyway. You can do it.”

    There was a fancy computer that looked several times better than the one I was using.

    The screen was so big that I couldn’t help but be amazed.

    I was thinking about asking permission to sit on the bed, but I wanted to try out that computer.

    “Can I, can I do that?”

    “Huh? Do whatever you want.”

    At Kylon’s permission, I felt elated and quickly walked over to the spot and plopped down on the chair.

    I thought it was heaven, being able to just lean back in a comfortable chair and use the computer without having to sit on the floor.

    When I turned it on, the sound of the main unit spinning was heard, and beyond that, the screen turned on.

    Click, click. I clicked the mouse without any meaning, even though it was just the desktop.

    I felt my heart thump.

    At first, my life changed as I clicked this mouse, but the feeling that it had been a really long time made my heart flutter.

    In the midst of all that, I also worried that I might have that kind of experience again.

    Yeah, as long as it’s not that game, then it’s fine, right?

    Just when I was starting to feel a little scared about playing the game, Kylon pulled a chair from the dressing table and sat down next to me.

    “Oh my, after using this for a while, I guess I’ll have to buy you a computer later.”

    “… Huh? My computer?”

    “Oh, yours. Since you like games too, I guess it’s better for me to play with you too.”

    “… … .”

    I wondered if he really liked games that much.

    The moment the thought crossed my mind that I did it when I had time because that was all I could do, there was a time when I sighed and said, “Ah.”

    Anyway, no matter what I try to do, the only thing I know how to do is games.

    “But it’s still too expensive.”

    “What’s left is money. Don’t worry.”

    As I was clicking like that, I discovered a game that was blankly displayed on the screen.

    I knew this game.

    “Uh.”

    “Uh.”

    Neither Kylon nor I could say anything, just staring blankly at the game’s icon.

    I don’t know why, but I was afraid to touch it. I just became silent.

    Then, Kylon blankly dropped his gaze and soon said, ‘Wait a minute.’ and took the mouse away from me.

    “Before I came here, I heard something.”

    “… What is it?”

    “Now the goddess has no power, so there’s no need to go there again.”

    “… Thank goodness.”

    How do you know that?

    I didn’t know, but since Kylon was so sure, I just let it go.

    But then when Kylon’s mouse moved and he clicked on the icon, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

    Because I didn’t know that Kylon would click it again.

    Even though the power of the goddess had disappeared, I was worried about what would happen if it disappeared, so I unconsciously hugged his right arm.

    “What? You don’t want to be separated from me?”

    “That’s obvious, isn’t it?”

    Kylon makes a strange noise.

    It’s ridiculous that we came all the way here and then Kylon suddenly disappeared.

    I finally calmed my frightened heart down with Kylon’s voice, and then the screen changed.

    It was a screen from the Tsukuru game.

    However, I felt like the quality had gone up a bit compared to what I saw on the game guide page.

    “It seems to have changed a bit.”

    Beep beep beep.

    As soon as the machine sounded, a script appeared on the screen.

    -The world is always threatened by evil. And the world is maintained by special beings doing special things. And those who do such things are called heroes.

    It was like a script for the ending.

    -That’s why the warrior of this world could be called ‘Kailon’. The world sings that he suffered a single sacrifice and became a warrior who grew because of it. That’s why we called him a warrior and a hero.

    There were four characters on the screen.

    It was the image of Kyleon that I had often seen, the image of Linda, the image of Agnes, the image of Flora.

    Seeing that I wasn’t there, the sacrifice being talked about seemed to be referring to ‘Veronica’.

    I felt a bit depressed because I thought that I was alive and well here, but Veronica here was dead.

    In the end, I felt sad because I felt like I no longer existed in this story.

    [Kylon: I finally won. It’s all thanks to Veronica.]

    [Linda: How, anyway?]

    Beep, beep. Each line was said at that sound.

    But many of those lines were just words to remember me and commemorate me.

    In the midst of all this, the Demon King rose again in a blaze of golden flames.

    Even though it looked like a corpse, I saw it raise its body.

    The Demon King was resurrected once again and faced the warrior, Kaylon.

    At the same time, the script came up with a beeping sound.

    [Demon King: I curse this damned world. Everyone is just playing along with the Goddess’ tricks!]

    [Kylon: Damn it.]

    Going back to the battle screen, Kylon had little blood left and no skills.

    Because it was still in a state where the power of the Holy Sword had been lost.

    The game was already in a desperate state, but I discovered a strange menu within it.

    So I clicked and clicked to look inside it more closely, then pressed and held down on that item.

    For some reason, I was able to empower Kylon in the game.

    “Oh, oh?”

    Even though it was something I did, even I was amazed and exclaimed in admiration. Kylon just quietly watched me do it.

    No matter how many surprising things I did, he didn’t seem that surprised.

    “Kailon! I gave power to that Kailon over there! Oh, what did you do?”

    “… Okay.”

    I enjoyed the end of the game with such a Kylon.

    I gave strength to ‘Kaylon’ and ‘Kaylon’s’ skill window opened.

    I was able to receive the power of the Holy Sword, and after that, I was able to win a fierce battle with the Demon King.

    Still, the game never reached its ending.

    It just continued on as if there was no such thing as an end to this story.

    It’s like a story just like life.
