“It’s not the right price, it’s just a scam! How can the armor withstand even the black color!”

Do Yu-geon pointed a point at the grandfather. The voice was full of anger. The lack of manners is very shocking. I’ve never been raised like that.

“But guess what, that’s what happened.”

As if I was used to that kind of attitude, my grandfather used magic and picked up the items he had roughly thrown away, taking them lightly. There was a smile in the words. It may have just been a laugh, but somehow it sounded like a laugh. It’s not like you’re going to laugh at a kid at that age.

The grandfather passed by Do Yu-geon and patted his shoulder.

“A win is a win. Are you going to eat and leave?”

“I’m not eating.”

The gesture was directed at Do Yu-geon, but at the same time, his gaze was directed in this direction, so he quietly shook his head to indicate that he was not eating.

“Sure.”

Grandfather and the chief secretary returned to the mansion. Meanwhile, the guy was standing in the clearing with his head down.

I guess I was upset that I lost a game. I don’t understand the emotions of people that age. Although we are the same age. Actually, when I’m playing a fighting game and my opponent plays irritatingly and makes fun of me, I get annoyed. I did that while playing a game a while ago. Thinking about it makes me angry. It would have been worth it if my teammate had kept me in check at the time, but I lost because I couldn’t do that. I’m so unlucky with my teammates.

As I flew gently to comfort him, I saw water droplets falling on the floor. Crying… … ? There was no sound of crying or rubbing of the eyes, but tears did fall. Crying?

uh… … .

I turned around and returned to the corner of the vacant lot. What should I do with this? I’m sorry, but this kind of situation is not my area of expertise. Actually, it’s full of things that aren’t true, but if I had to pick one thing I can’t do, it would be counseling or comforting people. Something like the field of counseling psychology.

In my previous life, I was a team leader, so I inevitably had frequent experiences, but that doesn’t mean I was good at it. Since the person he put the most effort into committed suicide, it could be said that he has no talent. Well, it wasn’t their responsibility. If you live in the realm of reason and rationality, it will be fleeting. I can’t even do those two things properly.

In times like this, the answer would be to stay still and remember the adage that time solves problems. They say if you stay still, you’re halfway there.

I put the flower pot down next to me and squatted down. Hiyat, chaga. My butt was cold against the floor, so I got up again. Winter is not conducive to life. It’s snowing and making the roads slippery. Due to global warming, it gets cold every year. Now that I think about it, it really doesn’t help.

“Fuck, nothing’s working….”

A low voice swearing was heard. When I checked the epicenter, of course there was this guy in the vacant lot. He seemed to have given up on standing and was crouching down with his head buried.

… … ?

what what what?

A shock that felt like the world was shattering hit my head. The thinking stopped and my mind turned white. How, no, who, no, where? No, this is not it.

It flew towards the guy. The hem of his clothes flew in the aftermath.

“What did you just say?”

The guy who was burying his head looked up in surprise. The eyes were moist with tears.

“W-what? Why are you here?”

It’s a dumb reaction.

“Because I came, it’s here.”

“Why now….”

“This is my grandfather’s house and I’m his granddaughter, and I came because you were there. I need a reason. Rather, what did I just say?”

The dumb reaction got on my nerves, so my tone of voice rose. The guy trembled.

“Just now…?”

“So you just did it.”

To explain, I tried to put the swear word he said into my mouth, but my mouth was so dry that it wouldn’t come out. It was because of the resistance that felt like an allergic reaction. How can a person swear? No, of course you can. But that’s a failure of self-management and a matter of decency.

“You just swore.”

“No, I didn’t!”

The guy suddenly got up.

“Don’t lie. I heard everything.”

“I told you I didn’t do it.”

It’s an expression of sincere resentment. When I saw that, I hesitated for a moment. Did you not hear well? My memory quickly flashed back. I’m sorry, but this guy has a very good memory. That moment came back to me and curse words invaded my mind. It was just a thought, but I was dizzy from the shock. It’s true that you cursed. Is this acting now? Anger rose.

“What’s wrong? It’s true.”

“No! You heard wrong!”

The guy stepped back and made an excuse.

“I heard wrongly. I heard it clearly. Or are you saying I was wrong?”

“No, that’s….”

“How can you swear? Even if a single swear word doesn’t seem like a big deal, people are affected by such small things.”

The guy swallowed dry saliva and muttered softly.

“Your argument is the fallacy of a slippery slope, so listen carefully…”

“Is that the same as this? The important thing is that you swore, and that’s a big problem.”

“I didn’t do it!”

This just changes the language. The fever rose.

“I did. Moreover, you just claimed that my argument was making a logical error and practically assumed that you were the one swearing. You admitted it and now you are changing your mind because you are at a disadvantage? Do you think someone told you to do that? Do you think they told you to evade it? ”

I took a moment to catch my breath. Let’s calm down for now. I exhaled and cooled off the heat. Phew. What should I do with this?

It was then that the astonished guy’s eyes changed.

“Whether I curse or not is my own, so why interfere?”

“What what, what…?”

My mind flashed at the sudden response.

“Whether it is or not, it’s my heart! Even though I didn’t do it, it’s my heart!”

“that…….”

That is correct. No. However, it would be wrong to admit that. My mind was all tangled up.

“That’s not true. It’s been a while since we’ve been together, but isn’t it okay to say this much? How can you just do whatever you want and ignore my worries like that? Then do whatever you want. Why don’t you just go around cursing, it’ll be a lot of fun.”

“I told you I didn’t swear!”

“Lies, lies, lies.”

As I spoke while poking his chest, his expression turned into a tearful expression.

“You tell more lies!”

“what?”

“You don’t even care about respecting the people around you, but you act the way you want! People say things like swearing at me, but in the end, you are the worst!”

“stop!”

The guy stopped talking in surprise. My heart tingled with betrayal.

“You, you shouldn’t do that. You shouldn’t say that. How much, how much…”

Emotions swirled around disappointment and anger. A feeling of contempt rose and then subsided. It was difficult to speak due to the excessive emotions.

The reason I was able to sense his emotions in such a situation was probably thanks to my usual habits. Hostility rises slightly along with fear. It felt like my heart was being stabbed.

Why are you afraid? Why do you hate me? Dividing my doubts and sense of crisis into two parts, I examined the situation by disconnecting my reason from my emotions. My narrowed field of vision widened.

What I felt was a seething magical power. Due to the influence of magic, part of the vacant lot was broken into pieces and floating, and several trees in the garden were uprooted and floating.

What I saw was magic. Magic power, lightning, and flames surrounded the surroundings, aiming at one location.

Do Yu-geon glared at the magic target aimed at the center. The guy didn’t give in to the threat and spoke briefly.

“You are right.”

I crossed the line.

who… … ?

well.

As I took a step closer, he started to tremble because he was scared.

“It’s just as you said. I was bad. I’m sorry. I apologize.”

It slowly surfaced and narrowed the gap.

Their faces got closer and I could feel their breath.

I kissed my lips carefully.

The texture was soft and somewhat rough.

I saw him stiffen in surprise and then blush.

Time passed and we parted our lips.

A faint warmth dissipated.

“Are you going to accept my apology?”

The guy lowered his head with a bright red face.

“huh…….”

I knew it.
