“Uh, uh… If you bang your head against the wall like that… .”

Oh Hyun-seo was definitely trying to call me. That’s why I couldn’t just pass by.

“Go on your way. I’ll take care of it.”

“No, you already knew how to do it… .”

The woman who had been staring intently at Oh Hyeon-seo glanced at me.

Did I speak too harshly?

I can’t just say, ‘Oh, okay! Do whatever you want!’ and back off.

“First, let go of that… head… .”

“Ahhhh! Why are you always yelling at me today? Hyunseo, huh? Huh? Why are you yelling at me!”

As he took another step closer to the woman and tried to stop her again, the woman suddenly let out a scream that seemed to rupture Oh Hyeon-seo’s eardrums and shook Oh Hyeon-seo’s hair violently.

However, Oh Hyun-seo, the person involved, does not put up a fight and just sways like a puppet with its strings cut off.

There was even a smile on his lips.

“Um… I don’t want to look bad in Unnie Haru’s eyes.”

At that moment, a large scythe was placed on the woman’s nape.

A white scythe that resembles Tachibana’s hair, giving it a dangerous yet beautiful feel.

The scythe remained floating in the air even after Tachibana let go of it, as if it had a will of its own.

“I heard you charged this person something earlier. Is this enough for the cost?”

Tachibana, who was rummaging through his fat wallet, took out all the 50,000 won bills as if he was annoyed and handed them to the woman.

Will money solve this problem?

The woman looked rich at first glance. Her coat and her accessories. Isn’t there something about the aura that people give off? It’s the same feeling that Tachibana looks like a well-educated noblewoman.

“Hey, hero… … .”

But money wasn’t the issue. The woman couldn’t even move her head in the first place.

A woman with a pale face and barely moving her lips.

After all, with a cold-blooded scythe hanging before one’s neck, who would dare to move carelessly?

“Tachibana, let’s get this out of the way first.”

“Oops. I was in a hurry so I made a mistake.”

Tachibana waved his hand roughly, and the sickle floating in the air turned into blood and scattered.

The woman, who had been shaking with her head held high, quickly ran away, bending her back low in case she was caught.

“Everyone, I’ll report you to the guild! And Oh Hyun-seo, I’ll file a claim with the office too!”

“Hmm… At this distance, it shouldn’t even take 2 seconds to catch up?”

“Hic… !”

A woman who screams and curses with pride. Even that crumbles in the face of Tachibana’s threats.

“I don’t think Sister Haru will be in trouble, right?”

“I don’t care, but… you won’t have any problems. There’s CCTV, and there’s a witness. And above all, you didn’t cause any harm, right? ”

If a hero commits a crime, he will be subject to harsh punishment from the court as well as the guild.

The punishment is so severe that there are occasional complaints that it is discrimination. This is inevitable because the difference between ordinary people and heroes is so great. Heroes can literally commit serious crimes while lying down as if they were eating rice cakes.

“… I’m going to get cut off.”

While I was checking the angle of the nearby CCTV to see if it was captured well, Oh Hyun-seo, who had been standing there blankly, sighed and came over to me.

“Can I borrow some taxi fare? I didn’t even bring my wallet because I was going to get everything from that woman.”

A small hand held out proudly.

Oh Hyun-seo was wearing a black off-shoulder sweater and a short, gray-tinged pleated skirt. It seemed like the reason she was dressed like that was to get a girl.

“Since we’re going there… let’s go together.”

There are so many different kinds of people in the world.

Because of the nature of my job, I’ve come across many different types of people, so I’ve been able to deal with them calmly. My reunion with Oh Hyun-seo wasn’t much different.

* * *

“Who is it? Did you catch a good girl?”

“Ugh… My little brother’s friend! His family is so wealthy… .”

How did I end up following you here?

I dropped Tachibana off in front of a very fancy traditional Japanese house and left after being told that he would introduce me to his mother later, but the taxi took off without waiting for me.

So while I was waiting for a new taxi, Oh Hyun-seo stopped me and said she would stop by since her house was nearby.

The desire to go back, but also the feeling that I should respond because my classmate called me, clashed, and while I was struggling, the situation reached its current state.

“Okay, wait a minute! First, I’ll call my little brother… .”

Still, I should call Mirae. I don’t want to worry her like last time.

“Just come in and do it?”

“Oh, no, I’ll go in. Go in first.”

I was worried that the sound might leak out through the phone, so I checked Oh Hyeon-seo’s back as she entered the basement and made a call from outside.

“Hello? Future… Future… ?”

What, is my phone broken?

The screen clearly shows that it’s connected, but I can’t hear any sound from the other end of the phone.

[why…….]

Oh, it wasn’t broken.

But I’m so angry… .

“I’m going to meet someone my mom knows and talk to them for a bit. Maybe an hour?”

[Who knows? Mom doesn’t know anyone.]

“What, what are you talking about! Even my mom knows someone like that… .”

I got angry at Future’s remark that seemed so obvious, and then lowered my voice again. If you overreact, it really seems like you don’t have any friends.

[…Are you a girl?]

“Yeah, you’re a girl?”

[No. Come back now.]

The future has become even more resolute.

Now, I want to slowly get rid of the misunderstanding that I like women… No, it’s not a misunderstanding…? If you think that I like men, that’s a big problem in its own right.

“No, it’s already here… .”

[Why did you ask…]

“Sorry… .”

Anyway, I had already followed Oh Hyun-seo home. In fact, I was worried because I had just witnessed an unpleasant scene. I was planning to go back after just checking out the atmosphere.

[From now on, every minute you’re late, you get a kiss.]

“I just don’t want to go home.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the future’s sullen brow. One kiss per minute. If it were the past, I would have thought it was cute and accepted it, but now I can’t just hang out with it. Thinking about that, a faint bitterness came over my laughter.

[If you’re too late, I’ll delete your mother’s character data.]

Yeah, I was more scared of this than the kiss threat.

‘Gambler 1’, who has been through thick and thin with me. She was addicted to gambling from a young age and was heading towards ruin step by step. With Narin’s help, she successfully rehabilitated herself and became a priest. Now, she has decided to live a proper life…

“Oh, no! I’ll go quickly!”

When I waved my hands in the air in shock even though there was nothing to see, Mirae laughed in disbelief.

[… Be careful.]

“Yeah, ask Hanna Yeon to make something delicious and eat it!”

[They said they’d make aglio olio with chop steak.]

looks delicious….

I just ate a hamburger, but my mouth is watering.

“What, why only when I’m not here!!”

[I guess Mom didn’t like it. Hang up.]

Stop.

You don’t like me…? Now that I think about it, it seems like Hanna Yeon has been a little cold lately…

No. When people feel anxious, they tend to think about all sorts of things. Hanna Yeon was the usual Hanna Yeon. Mirae was playing a prank on her.

“What did I do wrong?”

Still, I felt uneasy in a corner of my heart, so I went down the stairs with a face full of worry.

“Excuse me… .”

I closed the slightly open front door and went inside.

I was worried about the inside because it rained a lot, but the inside was cleaner than I thought. Of course, there were clothes strewn all over the place, but that wasn’t the house’s problem.

“Why are your clothes so wrinkled? Are you a freeloader?”

I was taking off my shoes when I got hit out of nowhere.

Sure, a cardigan with sweatpants looks weird… but even Hyunseo Oh now wasn’t in a position to criticize my outfit.

The clothes she was originally wearing were lying on the floor, and the only clothes covering Oh Hyun-seo’s petite body were a black sleeveless top and black lace panties.

There is no place to put my eyes… .

“I was in a hurry to get out of the house… .”

As I was standing in front of the entrance and looking at the distant mountains, Oh Hyeon-seo, who was sitting on a chair, took something out and gestured to the bed.

“What are you doing, sit down.”

“Uh, yeah… .”

The object in Oh Hyun-seo’s hand was an electronic cigarette.

Oh Hyun-seo, who was naturally holding the black machine to her lips, noticed my gaze and held out an electronic cigarette to me.

“Ah… Phil?”

“Oh, no! I don’t smoke!”

I have never touched a cigarette in my mouth. Not in this life, nor in my past life.

Is this consideration for me?

“I guess so.”

Oh Hyun-seo placed the electronic cigarette she was holding on the desk and began tapping her thigh with her fingers as if she was bored.

Is this withdrawal…?

Actually, I can tolerate the smell of cigarettes. I don’t have any particular allergies, and more than anything, Oh Hyun-seo smokes it at her house.

“That… It’s okay to spread it.”

“Yeah… ?”

For the first time, I was able to see Oh Hyun-seo smiling.

Oh Hyun-seo, holding an electronic cigarette with the corners of her lips slightly pouting.

Soon, Oh Hyun-seo’s cheek swelled and a cloud of smoke came out from her lips.

There was an awkward silence as Oh Hyun-seo smoked her e-cigarette. But since it didn’t seem like there would be much of a fuss about not smoking, I just blurted out whatever was on my mind.

You’re already depressed, so sitting quietly will only increase your negative thoughts.

“Ugh… I recently met Minji at the guild! Strangely enough, it wasn’t that awkward… We even had a meal together a while ago… … .”

What do you want me to do?

I felt like I wanted to hit myself in the head.

Even though I knew that Kim Min-ji and Oh Hyun-seo’s relationship had deteriorated.

“Why did you pretend to know each other? It wouldn’t be good to see each other’s faces.”

Perhaps because it was an unpleasant topic, Oh Hyun-seo frowned slightly and changed the subject.

“Still… .”

“I feel like I’m going to lose my job because of someone.”

“Sorry… … .”

Was the woman who had threatened Oh Hyun-seo someone related to work? Suddenly, I became curious and turned my eyes away to avoid being caught, but Oh Hyun-seo suddenly got up from her chair.

“Nothing has changed, Iharu.”

“Huh… ?”

Hey, is that a compliment?

“Wide forehead. I guess it won’t be fixed well?”

“… … .”

No it wasn’t.

I lowered my head, not knowing how to react, and Oh Hyun-seo’s pure white thighs came into view downwards.

“Over there… … .”

Let’s go back. I wasn’t supposed to come. It was just a passing remark, just like Oh Hyun-seo said…

As I see Oh Hyeon-seo getting closer and closer, I feel like I want to run away more and more.

“Leeharu.”

But my terrified body had no intention of moving.

◦Want to %◦?”

When I came to my senses, I was lying on the bed, pushed by Oh Hyeon-seo.
