Chapter Index

    ‘I don’t know what it is, but it seems like it wants something from me, so if I just tell it to stay somewhere, it’ll follow me around like crazy, right?’

    Do Yu-jin, who sees Shigure not as a pretty woman but as a bomb that could explode at any moment, naturally thought about how to get her away from him first, but it seemed like it would be far off.

    Do Yu-jin, who had been thinking about this and that for a while, looked at Shigure and quietly opened her mouth.

    “As you may already know, your father sold you to me.”

    Shigure, with his back straight, nodded quietly in agreement.

    “But I have you as my… … ”

    In an instant, several words came to Do Yu-jin’s mind.

    However, he chose to speak in as pure a manner as possible to avoid a situation where his relationship with the heroine could go wrong.

    “I don’t intend to use it for commercial purposes.”

    “… … Yes.”

    Shigure nodded with a blush on his face after hearing the word market.

    “So, I want you to be my subordinate starting today… … I have one last question for you. Are you sure you’re okay with the many hardships you might face in the future?”

    Honestly, Do Yu-jin wanted Shigure to say here that he was not okay.

    “Yes, I ask for your help in the future.”

    Well, of course, that miracle didn’t happen.

    “… … Okay, I’ll be counting on you in the future.”

    A heroine-like, bold and energetic answer.

    Looking at Shigure like that, Do Yu-jin spoke in a weak voice.

    “And remember, there’s no need to use formal language for no reason.”

    “But I’m a subordinate… … ”

    “Listen, I’m saying this because I don’t want to stand out in the circle.”

    “Yeah… … ”

    Shigure, feeling inexplicably upset, answered with a small pout.

    Let’s go back in time a bit, to when Doyujin was still talking with Hayato.

    Thud thud-

    There was some kind of deep exchange going on on the other side too.

    “… … ”

    Erio, who usually doesn’t show his emotions, walked with an unusually sullen expression on his face.

    Her eyes were fixed on the back of the head of the woman walking in front of her and did not know how to move.

    A woman who suddenly appears and interferes with the relationship between herself and Do Yu-jin, not a thieving cat, but a thieving crow!

    ‘I didn’t like it even when it was a crow, but looking at it like this, I don’t like it even more.’

    Still, Erio tried his best not to show any reaction.

    Last night, Do Yu-jin asked me to take care of her if possible, and it hurt my pride to react first by picking a fight or avoiding her.

    When Erio, who had decided on his own attitude, stood in front of the door without saying anything and waited for Doyujin to come out.

    “Look at me for a second.”

    In this way, Yuna suddenly approached Erio and spoke to him.

    Erio, who didn’t want to talk to Yuna for no reason, tried to ignore those words, but he couldn’t help but react to what she said next.

    “A story about a sloppy dad.”

    Hit-

    ‘I don’t know what it is, but if it’s something strange, I should just leave.’

    When Erio was making that promise with a colder, more expressionless face than usual.

    Hit-

    Yuna stopped walking and looked around lightly as she spoke.

    “If it falls to this extent, it’s okay.”

    So Yuna turned her head, and the two finally looked at each other.

    Eyes that appear calm and composed, but with various emotions bursting out from within, and eyes that appear sharp and upturned, but are completely black and show no signs of agitation.

    Two different types of pupils collide.

    ‘She just cleverly took advantage of the fact that she was a summoner and ended up becoming my daughter.’

    ‘It’s like trying to show off by meeting a slightly less sloppy father than me sooner.’

    As a result, the feelings the two people had for each other were… …funny enough, they were identical.

    ‘I don’t like it.’

    ‘I don’t like it.’

    At the same time, the two realized that the woman in front of them had the same feelings for them.

    In fact, it was something new if anything.

    Because the two of them were staring at each other like that, occupying the seat next to Do Yu-jin who was half-asleep last night.

    Honestly, it’s a miracle that a fight didn’t break out!

    But funny enough, the two of them had one more thing in common besides not liking each other.

    ‘If only it weren’t for Eugene… … ‘

    ‘If only my dad hadn’t been so sloppy… ‘

    That is, I have an extreme affection for Do Yu-jin.

    The two of them just stared at each other without doing anything directly because the feelings were so great that they didn’t care about anything else.

    It was also thanks to this that Do Yu-jin was able to sleep comfortably between these two last night.

    Well, it was largely due to a coincidental incident that happened when Do Yu-jin, who was simply sleeping, unconsciously turned over and put her arms around the waists of the two people who were growling at her side.

    In any case, for this reason, the triangle created between the three people somehow maintained its balance.

    But of course, it was so unstable that it wouldn’t have been strange if it broke or collapsed at any time, which was why Yuna came forward first and spoke to Erio.

    This was to prevent the triangle from collapsing and causing any damage to Do Yu-jin.

    “Hey, you piece of crap.”

    That is, surprisingly, Yuna was speaking to Erio in a kind and gentle way.

    “Clumsy lightning?”

    The atmosphere Erio was giving off became even more tense as he heard this kind of verbal abuse for the first time in his life.

    If it were a normal person, it wouldn’t be strange for them to just lose strength in their legs and fall to the ground.

    But Yuna continued to say what she wanted to say as if she didn’t care whether you said it or not.

    “As you may have guessed, I didn’t come here specifically to tell you to get along. I don’t think that’s what you or I want anyway. But… … ”

    Swish-

    “I don’t want to make you worry for nothing, so let’s both be as self-restrained as possible in front of my sloppy dad.”

    “… … Okay.”

    After thinking for a moment, Erio quickly took Yuna’s outstretched hand and said.

    Even though I don’t like it, yesterday and today… … I decided that I could trust your heart for Do Yu-jin.

    There was… …actually, there was one more reason.

    And this was the real reason why Erio, who was reluctant to make contact with others, held Yuna’s hand.

    Swoosh-

    Phagejijik-

    “Huh~ Your comprehension skills aren’t bad for a topic like electric eel?”

    “You’re a stupid crow… … ”

    Lightning flashes fiercely, fangs tearing through the darkness.

    Darkness spreads quickly, covering his body with the light of lightning.

    Between the clasped hands, lightning and darkness collide and devour each other.

    And in that conflict, there wasn’t even a shred of consideration for one another.

    In fact, there was a hidden meaning in the sentence that said that you should exercise maximum self-restraint in front of Do Yu-jin during the conversation just now.

    The hidden meaning is that they want to bare their teeth and show their claws to each other freely, not where Do Yu-jin is, but where she isn’t.

    “Thank you, Sloppy Lightning. I won’t hit you in the face so that Sloppy Dad doesn’t catch you.”

    “Same thing, bird.”

    After this brief conversation, the two began to really raise their spirits and swung their fists at each other.

    The two of them were fighting each other so excitedly, showing off their strengths.

    “Tsk.”

    “Cheet.”

    After checking the time belatedly and realizing that Do Yu-jin might have come out soon, I went back to where I was.

    And in front of them who returned like that.

    “What is this, a dog collar?”

    “From now on, wear it.”

    “You, you have this kind of taste? Of course I was prepared, so I’m not saying I won’t accept it, but at least prepare yourself a little… … ”

    “Haa, I understand you’ve never been out of town before, but that’s not what you’re thinking of. It’s the kind of jewelry you commonly see on people your age, right?”

    “That, is that so?”

    “Yeah, anyway, it’s a communication artifact, so keep it safe. I’ll probably give orders through it when I really need to.”

    “Uhm, okay.”

    Well done-

    “But, how do you do this?”

    “Oh, give it to me. And remember how to do it, since I’m only giving it to you this once.”

    A new, very powerful rival was seen sticking by Do Yu-jin’s side.

    The two of them stared blankly at the scene for a moment and then looked at Do Yu-jin and said at the same time.

    “Eugene, explain to me.”

    “You sloppy dad, tell me what’s going on quickly.”

    “Huh?”

    Do Yu-jin, who noticed the two people’s arrival belatedly, unconsciously looked at the current situation and herself.

    A scene where Shigure is kneeling with his eyes closed, and is being given what appears to be a dog collar.

    In this situation, there was only one thing Do Yu-jin could say.

    “You must be wrong.”

    Of course, hearing those words did not cause the two people’s eyes to widen.
