Chapter Index

    Should I say that I’m lucky?

    The mood of the two people, who seemed as if they would never straighten out no matter how much they ironed, surprisingly eased up quickly.

    It was thanks to Do Yu-jin, who quickly realized that persuasion through conversation would not work by reading the atmosphere, that she immediately approached the two people and used [Tssdam Tssdam] with all her might.

    Persuasion through the body, not words.

    And the effect was tremendous.

    “Ugh… … ”

    “Hoooo… … ”

    A relaxed look, enjoying Do Yu-jin’s touch, like a cat basking in the sunlight.

    ‘What should I say… … It shouldn’t be my place, but it’s so easy that I’m worried.’

    Do Yu-jin muttered to herself as she watched the two of them rubbing their faces against her hands with happy expressions.

    Thinking that he had safely overcome the difficult situation, he did not realize that [Tsdam Tsdam] was a skill that could only be used on summoned creatures and had no effect on Erio.

    That is, Do Yu-jin didn’t know.

    Hee-juk-

    It is also possible that the two people took advantage of this situation and pretended to be upset in order to induce their own actions.

    Anyway, while they were enjoying peace in their own way.

    Palang-

    There was one person among them who could not rest.

    “Therefore, our descendants, you must always be alert and watch for those who enter this place. At the same time, you must engrave deep in your hearts that it can break free from its seal at any moment and devour you… … ”

    Shigure glanced at the three of them as he read the book about the Lake of Seals.

    While doing so, he occasionally scratched his neck with his fingers as if it was itchy. It seemed like he wasn’t used to the feeling of the choker tightening around his neck.

    ‘I’m a little worried.’

    Although she ended up being accepted as a subordinate and a superior-subordinate relationship was established, she was also one of the main characters.

    Then, Do Yu-jin suddenly started to worry that if their relationship went wrong for no reason, something troublesome might happen later, so she opened her mouth.

    “If it’s hard, you can take a break and do it later. It’s not urgent.”

    “No, this much is okay.”

    Well, perhaps because the discipline was too strict at the beginning, Shigure immediately rejected Doyujin’s offer and started reading the book out loud again.

    ‘Ah, I don’t know. Whatever happens, happens.’

    Since he couldn’t tell her to stop reading the book, Do Yu-jin just placed a glass of water in front of her without saying anything.

    Then, she slightly bowed her head with a grateful expression and continued reading the book. Do Yu-jin watched her like that and thought quietly.

    ‘I don’t like the fact that I got involved with the main character, but honestly, if I look at it objectively, this isn’t such a bad situation.’

    As you can see from the way he looks now, Shigure was a good person.

    Specifically, he was very open-mouthed, cooperative, and considerate.

    It means that he is great not only as a subordinate but also as a colleague.

    This also meant that she was someone who could fill in the gaps that Do Yu-jin was absolutely lacking: manpower.

    ‘I can’t just leave it alone, so I’ll get help from you little by little, but once I build trust, it might be okay to ask you to help me with my ghost activities.’

    This wasn’t the only benefit of having her as a subordinate.

    Thanks to Erio, activities in the circle became much easier, but since he lived his life hiding his presence, Do Yu-jin had no influence in the class at all.

    Because of this, it was impossible to control the movements of the class as desired, but it seemed that if Shigure became Doyujin’s mouth and moved it, that part could be solved.

    ‘If I can somehow control the movement of the class, I’ll be able to handle future events much more easily.’

    In fact, Do Yu-jin originally planned to ask this favor to Erio.

    but……

    Glance-

    “Why?”

    “Nothing.”

    No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like asking Shigure would be better than asking Erio in many ways.

    In terms of simple influence, Erio may be greater, but in terms of basic speaking skills, Shigure seemed to be higher.

    ‘I guess I can just ask Erio to lightly add some strength to what Shigure says.’

    Do Yu-jin, who was going through her thoughts one by one like that, suddenly had her thoughts wander to something else.

    ‘Now that I think about it, that guy Shigure, I think he’s been involved with the Black Dragon Society guys by now.’

    Do Yu-jin wasn’t particularly interested in the character’s story, but she was quite interested in the events that occurred in the story.

    To be specific, I mean, I know by heart the triggers and development processes of most events.

    So he quickly racked his brain and started to organize in his head the events that were likely to be connected to Shigure at the moment.

    ‘Hmm, if we just take care of the Black Dragon Society guys, I don’t think anything bad will happen.’

    Do Yu-jin said lightly that she just had to clean up the trash can over there, but it wasn’t that simple.

    As I’ve said before, the Black Dragon Society is an influential organization that even appears in the middle of the game’s story.

    ‘I’ve said it all, because it’s more impactful to the story to break one of those guys’ legs than to deal with a hundred small black guilds.’

    Therefore, if there was only one reason to help Shigure, Doyujin would not have chosen to get involved with the Black Dragon Society.

    Still, there was good reason why he decided to join the fight.

    Swish-

    ‘If I remember correctly, two of the three relics that go with [Palace Hatred (7★)] are in their hands.’

    As you can imagine when you hear the words [Palace Hatred (7★)] and the set, those two items can be incredibly annoying if used well.

    So, Do Yu-jin wanted to take them away from her on this occasion if possible.

    Because if I did it wrong, something really annoying could happen later.

    ‘Then let’s set our future goal as overthrowing the Black Dragon Society… … Ugh.’

    Do Yu-jin, who was thinking about what would happen next, let out a small sigh.

    Even though the reward was good, it still felt bad to be caught up in an unintended situation.

    ‘For now, let’s be satisfied with the fact that we have a capable colleague who listens well. To be honest, one of them is better than ten average guys.’

    He didn’t want to become too close to Shigure, so he called him his subordinate for the time being, but Doyujin had no intention of treating Shigure like a real subordinate.

    Because there was nothing good about being hated by the heroine for no reason.

    The moment I finished organizing my thoughts like that.

    Percussion-

    “Hoo… … ”

    Shigure finally finished reading the book and let out a sigh of slight fatigue.

    She took a quick sip of the water next to her, moistened her dry throat, and took a short break before looking at Do Yu-jin and speaking.

    “I… … I’m sorry.”

    “Huh? What?”

    Shigure said, scratching his cheek.

    “Well, if you had heard everything, you would have known. There is nothing special in this book.”

    If you cut out the useless parts like how the town was built, what Shigure wrote in the book was almost like a fairy tale.

    To put it simply, there was a lot of nonsense and floating talk that wasn’t really helpful.

    As I read, I found myself mumbling words of resentment as I recalled the image of my father who had given me this book!

    That’s why Shigure guessed that Doyujin would be disappointed and apologized in advance.

    “No, it was helpful enough.”

    In fact, Do Yu-jin’s thoughts were completely different from hers.

    “Huh? Really?”

    “Yeah, really.”

    Shigure glanced at Doyujin.

    His expression was relaxed, so it didn’t seem like he was lying.

    ‘So this really helped?’

    Shigure glanced at the book with a sidelong glance.

    – A part of the great monster that was barely sealed using the power of the great dragon vein that flows through the ground. Protecting it is the reason why our Fuma clan took root in this land and is our mission.

    Gyaut-?

    Shigure looked puzzled as he looked at the sentence that decorated the end of the book.

    ‘No matter how I look at it, it just looks like a simple fictional fairy tale based on reality.’

    Of course, the book also contained quite a few historical facts.

    In fact, there was a huge dragon vein flowing through her village, which maintained a barrier surrounding the entire village.

    However, the reason Shigure evaluated this book as a fairy tale without any truth was simple.

    If half, or even half of what is written in this book were true, Japan should have been destroyed long ago by the monsters it contains.
