Episode.17 A dream-like reunion

I had to feel myself losing consciousness.

It felt like a reunion with my ex-girlfriend, who had left me in a place where I thought I would never see her again, was just around the corner.

I came to the main gate of the large guild on time after hearing Harin’s notification, which was not a notification, to come by 8 o’clock.

This time I didn’t forget to bring my weapons.

My weapon was very shabby in appearance, so I tied the sword on my back with the body of the sword covered by several layers of thin cloth.

So, my weapon was strapped to my back, the blade was completely hidden, and only the handle was visible.

Why are you saying this?

I’m saying this after looking at my reflection at the guild’s front door.

I was a little embarrassed because I couldn’t see what I needed to see.

Because sitting on my shoulder is a ghost of a bitch wearing only panties.

When I turn my head to the side, her firm butt blocks my entire view.

‘hey. ‘Why are you sitting on my shoulder?’

I take advantage of Chaewon’s ability to read my thoughts and communicate with her through my thoughts when out in public.

Anyway, it seems like I’m the only one who can hear what Chaewon says.

So, you have a companion you can talk to anytime, anywhere.

【Because it’s hard.】

‘You fly. ‘What’s so difficult?’

【Flying is also difficult.】

‘Hey, but it’s a little strange?’

【what?】

‘Do you think my shoulders are a little heavy when you’re sitting there?’

【of course. Because I’m really sitting down.】

‘You’re a ghost, right? Since I can’t touch it, isn’t it normal for you to sit on my shoulder and not feel any touch or weight, just a little cold?’

【no. You gave me permission, and even if I didn’t give you permission in the first place, I can just touch you because it’s your property.】

It seems that even ghosts can touch you if you give them permission.

‘Somehow, the feeling of cushioning on my shoulders was like a work of art.’

【okay? Well, in that case, I will often use it as a chair from now on, so go ahead and be thankful.】

Still, I’m glad that it’s not too heavy, perhaps because it’s a soul.

Chaewon, who spoke with a blush on her face, seemed to be forced to accept my joke.

‘… It’s a bit funny to ask this now, but can I ask you one thing?’

【..what is it again..】

‘No, I was just going to ask you if you take off your clothes like that when you go out.’

【I didn’t want to walk around like this in only my underwear! I’m glad I died with my clothes on top, really…】

【Ah.. I was thinking about something last night? listen.】

Since the story seems long, I will roughly summarize what she said.

Chaewon said she was still wearing her clothes when she died.

Maybe that’s why they said they couldn’t wear the clothes of this world.

‘.. Doesn’t that sound a bit strange? What do those two reasons have to do with each other?’

【Just listen!】

Anyway, you can take off your clothes, but you cannot put on the clothes of this world.

This means that one can steal the clothes of another soul (ghost) and wear them.

In any case, you can wear anything except the clothes of this world.

【Understand? So next time, let’s either go to the cemetery or the gate where a lot of souls come out…! When I’m outdoors, I feel so empty… I feel strange… I feel like I’m going crazy!】

Next time, I think I will have to go where she wants for Chaewon.

But where is Harin?

I looked around while chatting with Chaewon in my head, but Harin was nowhere to be seen.

‘Did you go in first?’

Considering Harin’s position as she cannot see, it would be difficult for her to stand still in the open air near the association, which is crowded with people starting at 8 o’clock.

I entered a large guild.

“Welcome. Is this your first time inside the Triangle Guild?”

I didn’t even feel like someone was approaching me from behind.

“Ah.. were you already in?”

I turned around, checked his face, and spoke.

“Yes. I didn’t wait long. It’s only been a few minutes since I came in.”

“But… Triangle Guild? Is the name of the guild here ‘Triangle’?”

“Yes. Didn’t you know?”

Harin crossed her arms and crossed them.

When Harin crossed her arms, her breasts stood out more.

【Where are you glancing at like that?】

Chaewon asked where I was looking and shook her butt back and forth on my shoulder to get me to come to my senses.

“Keuhm.. If it’s a triangle.. Triangle Guild? What did you decide on the guild name for?”

“It certainly means triangle, but I think the meaning of triangle in the Triangle Guild is probably related to musical instruments.”

“Musical instrument?”

The triangle instrument I know is definitely one where one angle of the triangle is disconnected and not connected.

“It’s an instrument that turns into an iron triangle and then hits it with an iron stick, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

【Puhup, what is your description? It looks completely missing.】

After saying that, Chaewon continued to laugh.

My mind was filled with the sound of her laughter.

‘Please be quiet.’

“By the way, you. Take this.”

“Huh? A4 paper? What is this?”

“Today, let’s do everything written here and then gather back here in the lobby.”

The piece of paper Harin gave me had what I had to do here today written on it.

“Ah.. Okay. What do you do?”

“I have to do the same thing. Don’t forget to go on a date with me after work today~ That’s the most important thing.”

Harin smiled.

After that, he turned around and walked somewhere.

‘.. Is there any way to make her see?’

【huh? what?】

“Ah. That’s right.”

Harin quickly approached me as if she had forgotten something and placed her hand where my heart was.

“You… I will heal you so you can do your best today.”

“I’m not hurt.. Will my condition at least recover?”

“Yes.. Before that, could you please check if there is anyone around us watching us?”

‘Why are you asking me to confirm?..’

I looked around to see my surroundings.

First off, not only could we not feel eyes on us on the right, but everyone seemed to be busy to begin with.

And on the left…

.. Someone’s butt burdensomely filled my field of vision.

‘Aren’t you going to come down?’

【… When did you say it was good?】

‘Strictly speaking, I never said it was good. I just said it was art.’

【That’s it, right?】

“Huh?..”

Suddenly, Harin removed his hand from my body and lowered it.

With a strange drooling sound.

But suddenly my palm started to hurt a lot.

The feeling of your skin being torn.

“Da, you… what is this?”

“What.. Anyway, my palm suddenly hurt a lot..”

“Ah.. it’s nothing. I’ll see you after work.”

Harin seemed a little cold.

“Uh.. bye..”

I said hello quietly.

【hey. Why are you so kind to that woman and why are you like this to me?】

‘You’re an exhibitionist.’

Why?

【I expose it because I want to expose it?.. After all, only you can see it… You too, right?】

‘…’

The pain I felt in my palm, as if the skin was tearing, didn’t seem to go away for a while.

【Seeing as there is no answer, do you think you admit it too? The beauty of my bare legs is superior.】

It seemed like Chaewon was gradually losing her conscience.

When I first saw it, I felt a little ashamed.

Did I change like this because I thought no one could see me?

Of course, her lower body is absolutely flawless.

But when I say it with my own mouth, it makes me angry.

He was also shy until yesterday.

She slowly traces her fingers from her toes to her pelvis.

【My pelvis…isn’t it wide?】

The pain in my palm is getting stronger.

‘Hey.. don’t do that.’

【Why is it so hard to bear? Well, if that’s the case, go to the bathroom and take care of it. I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.】

I sighed and lightly ignored Chaewon’s words and looked at what was written on the paper Harin gave me.

1. Safety inspection. (32nd floor)

2. Check gate clear ledger (check profit structure)

3. Date after work (the most important)

It’s really convenient because it’s summarized in three lines.

But it looks like she, who can’t see, wrote this with a pencil.

It’s like writing with your eyes closed, but the handwriting is very pretty.

The first thing I have to do is a safety inspection.

According to what is written here, I think I need to go to the 32nd floor.

【Why is it written that only the 32nd floor should be inspected for safety?】

‘I don’t know either.’

I walked in front of the elevator.

The elevator door opened.

‘I met Harin here the other day.’

【Is Harin the dangerous-looking girl you met earlier?】

‘No, Harin is so kind, but what’s dangerous… There was just a little incident last time.’

【The other day?】

‘uh. when you are not there You don’t have to know.’

Just like I met Harin here last time, for some reason, it seems like there’s someone there when the elevator doors open.

But this time there was no one in the elevator.

I took the elevator and found the button for the 32nd floor.

I found something strange when I pressed the button on the 32nd floor.

The association has up to the 51st floor, and this one has up to the 49th floor.

It must have been built the same way, so why aren’t there 50th and 51st floors?

Or, on the contrary, it may be strange that the association building has the 50th and 51st floors.

I went up for quite some time and felt gravity in the elevator.

– Ding~!

The elevator door opened.

【Wow.. It’s so spacious, isn’t it? It’s bigger than my house!】

‘my house? Since when was my home…’

【Can’t we move to a place like this too?】

‘Say those words off my shoulders…’

The association or guild building becomes increasingly narrow as you go up.

However, this does not mean that the top floor is reduced to a one-room level.

The area of the top floor is approximately 70 pyeong.

As soon as I got off, I knocked on the glass wall that was being treated as a window.

-smart

It still seems solid.

Chaewon followed me and tried to hit the glass, but she couldn’t.

The hand went straight through the glass wall.

【Hi!】

He pulled out his hand and grabbed my head with both hands.

‘Because my head is not a handle?’

【…】

While I was doing the inspection like that, someone passed by.

I had no choice but to reflexively stop and check the face first.

The person was completely preoccupied with looking at his smartphone.

Fortunately, my existence doesn’t seem to have been confirmed.

‘I won’t be able to recognize your face anyway.’

There are only 9 days left until the face changing potion lasts, so there is nothing to be afraid of yet.

The person hurried into the room.

【What? Who are you staring at like that?】

‘I saw an S-class awakened person who had just come here.’

‘The person’s name is..Yena.’

【Are you famous enough to know his name?】

‘I don’t know if he was famous or not, but he was someone I really wanted to meet.’

【Then why not go and get an autograph?】

‘The sign is good. But is it already too late?’

【Should I go now..】

I didn’t forget.

The shame of that day?

no. That’s not a disgrace.

I see her neither below me nor above me.

We have promised a future in an equal relationship.

Not just me, but her too.

Some people might think I’m boring.

But this is something only people who have never been in the situation say.

My heart aches every time I think of this.

This is definitely not because I’m hurting because I miss her.

okay. Like a fountain coming from the fountain in the square below.

A stream of water that rises high tends to fall back to the bottom.

But soon after, it rises again.

Like waves on a rainy summer day.

The only thing that rises is a desire for revenge.

I felt myself gradually losing my senses.

‘You can’t do this… I have to get revenge thoroughly.’

Calms your head.

‘good. ‘I guess I should repay you for how I felt that day.’

The feeling of being betrayed.

I was betrayed by a lover I trusted.

You believed so much.

I was so fanatical.

When you feel like your powerful abilities are betraying you.

We can have an equal relationship again.

But I won’t accept it again.

You were dreaming.

From today.

Like a midsummer night’s dream.

Only dreams.

It can awaken consciousness in the deepest darkness.

I already had a dream.

A dream of promising a future with you and living happily ever after.

You awakened my dream, so now I can dream of you too.

Not waking up.

I’ll make sure to destroy it.
