episode_0097

It was something I always wondered about. Why on earth did the will become like that?

To say that it was simply innate, I saw Yusera before her regression. At that time, she was a completely ordinary girl.

Of course, there were some parts that were not normal. But apart from that, at least she was completely different from the yandere heroine in the original.

That’s why I wondered what the cause was.

I wonder what on earth happened to make it like that.

To conclude, there were actually a lot of suspicious points.

No friends, no family, and in the future, there will definitely be a war with the Demon Church. There were so many incidents that could ruin her, and it was easy to guess that the only person who would help her was Seo Jae-hyuk.

So I helped her a lot. I purposely told her to connect with Seo Jae-hyuk.

‘Hey, wouldn’t it be better not to do that to Seo Jae-hyuk?’

‘Yes? Why is that?’

‘Of course he hates it. If you really want to date him, don’t force him, but make him like you and me sincerely.’

‘Seo Jae-hyuk likes good kids, so please at least pretend to be good.’

‘… … So you’re saying I’m bad?’

‘no?’

‘Of course not.’

‘This is crazy.’

‘Come to think of it, Seo Jae-hyuk’s favorite food is curry. He said he makes it often.’

‘How do you know that?’

‘He said, ‘So if you’re going to make me something to eat later, make curry. Or maybe kimchi stew.’

‘Why me?’

‘… … I don’t know, damn it.’

If I think about it, it wasn’t really helpful. But I still wanted them to do well, so I put in a lot of effort.

‘Hey, hey. What is that?’

‘What is it?’

‘Well, when I did as you said, the reaction was definitely good. So, well, thank you.’

‘Okay, I know.’

‘I tried to tone down my aegyo a bit, just like you said, and the reaction was refreshing. Thank you.’

‘Thank you, that’s enough.’

‘Thank you for today too.’

‘okay.’

Still, I think they’ve achieved some success. I think they’ve definitely made some progress, and at the same time, I feel like they could be a good couple in the future.

So, if I can stop this moment, I will be able to stop the worst outcome, no matter what. Maybe there will even be a possibility of saving everyone, something I thought was impossible. I believe that, and I continue to fight.

At least I hope she’s not broken.

Clank─

I had to stop for a moment while pulling the trigger. The bullets stopped coming out. I searched my pockets. There were no magazines left.

“Fucked, damn it.”

I brought everything I could, but I’ve already used them all up. I clicked my tongue in frustration. I still had a sword left, but it wouldn’t work on Yusera.

My mana is almost depleted and I don’t have any items, so if things continue like this, I’m effectively defeated. But I can’t give up yet.

“Hoo.”

I slowly looked behind the pillar toward Yusera. Unlike before, she was definitely standing still, covered in wounds.

Now that we’re in shambles, a head-on confrontation might be possible. No, now it has to be possible.

“Please pass out, kid.”

I mutter quietly to myself and then start to look around.

Perhaps, judging from the state of things, he has given up on going straight to Seo Jae-hyeok. That means his only goal now is to kill me.

Although my life is more at risk than before, it’s actually a good situation for me.

If things continue like this, she will definitely not go to Seo Jae-hyeok even if she doesn’t attack him. So, it would be enough to just hide for now.

‘Okay.’

I was a little worried because I had no magazine left, but when I looked at the situation, the atmosphere was actually good. I smiled and looked at Yusera.

She looked around with an angry expression, looking for something.

It’s clearly looking for me.

‘Time will tell and you’ll come to your senses.’

Then, there would be no need to hide any longer, so I could approach Yusera. And if I explain the situation, she would understand the situation, so I could quietly move on. In that case, I would definitely ruin the original novel.

That too, towards a happy ending where everyone can live.

As time passed, the atmosphere gradually became more intense. I swallowed dry saliva and glanced at Yoo Seora.

Kagang!!

Eventually, he was unable to overcome his anger and started swinging his sword and destroying the surrounding pillars. It seems he is not able to think and make decisions properly. In this state, he is just wasting mana…

What’s good for me?

It slowly destroys the pillars near me. If I keep going like this, I might get unlucky and hit my side.

Let’s move to another place quickly with good timing.

“Hoo.”

I look at Yusera and observe the situation. Her mana only contains deep fear and strong anger.

As the attacks grew stronger little by little, a voice was heard.

“Where are you? Come out, come out.”

His expression becomes distorted and his attack speed decreases. However, his voice gradually becomes louder.

“Come out! Won’t you come out?! Come out now!!!”

It was a truly huge voice, unusual for her. She swung her weapon violently and spat out her anger.

“Kim Seo-jin, come out!!! Don’t hide!!!”

The sword energy flying towards me felt powerful. But her voice was stronger than the sword energy. I have never seen anything that could overcome that emotion.

Seeing Yusera attack without thinking, which was unusual for her, gave me a strange feeling.

Slowly her voice begins to tremble.

“Come out. Please… … !”

She continues to vent her anger to hide her tears, but since she has no more anger left to vent, she only shows sadness.

Your walking speed slows down.

I’m getting a glimpse of the emotions that Yusera wanted to hide the most.

Yusera puts down her sword. But her voice does not stop.

“What did I do wrong? I just wanted to be happy. I didn’t want to be unhappy… … . Come out. Please come out… … !”

Who on earth are you calling?

Is it really calling me? Or is it calling Seo Jae-hyuk? Or is it calling happiness?

I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

I just hear the voice.

Step by step, Yusera walks around. She keeps muttering something as she looks for me.

‘If you keep hiding like this, you’ll get caught eventually.’

However, if I move in this situation now, it could be unnecessarily dangerous. I looked around for a moment and happened to find a bag that had fallen down.

It was the bag that Yusera had brought when she came here.

‘If there’s any useful item there… … .’

You will be able to determine your chances of winning. Then there will be no need to hide.

The distance itself wasn’t that far. If I did it right, I could probably get it out without being noticed. I held the sword tightly for a moment and took a deep breath.

‘There’s no need to be unnecessarily nervous.’

I started to move slowly, taking in the situation.

As I gradually got closer, a black aura happened to fly towards the pillar right in front of me.

KWANG!!!

The pillars crumbled little by little as the rocks flew. Although it was clearly a scary attack, I could only smile bitterly.

A cold sweat runs down my spine.

‘Fuck… … .’

I slowly looked at Yusera. Yusera’s eyes facing me were heavy and sunken. I knew better than anyone what that meant.

I let out a deep sigh without realizing it.

“I got caught.”

Yusera rushed towards me with a frightening intensity. At first, I was taken aback for a moment, but soon I gathered the mana flowing deep within my body. Then, without hesitation, I ran straight towards the bag.

Pfft!

Paaang!

A black aura flies from the side. I move my legs while enduring the sharp pain in an unfamiliar situation.

I was able to reach out and touch her. But unfortunately, Yusera also tried to attack me from a close distance.

It’s like gambling now.

If there’s nothing useful in that bag, I’m dead.

If there was anything that could help the current situation, a simple gamble that I could buy. I gritted my teeth and quickly reached out my hand.

I felt like my breathing was going to stop. As soon as the bag touched my hand, a strong black aura started flying from behind me.

Still, I didn’t avoid it and opened the bag to look inside.

My heart was pounding like crazy. I was literally in danger of losing my life, so I quickly looked around to see what was going on.

It didn’t take long for the judgment to be reached.

I grabbed one of them and took it out. I still couldn’t tell if the current situation was a dream or reality. I reflexively gathered my mana and used the item.

“’Shield of Steel’!”

Kagang─!

Phew!!

The strong mana became a large shield that blocked Yusera’s sword energy. And that wasn’t the end of it, I took out one more item.

“’Replica Gungnir’!”

As mana rose, a yellow spear of light pierced through Yusera. The spear flew faster than a bullet, making it impossible for Yusera to dodge, and she easily gave up her shoulder.

Since both items were seen in the original, they were easy to use.

“Ugh!”

She let out a small groan and sank her legs slightly. I didn’t miss the opportunity to take out another object.

And then I quickly put it on and pulled it out.

bang!

Yusera quickly retreated from me. It seemed that she had decided that attacking me right away would be useless. I could see that her expression had suddenly worsened. I looked at her like that and smiled slightly.

“I didn’t think you’d bring my magazine. It was really unexpected. Thank you.”

I immediately took out the other magazines in my bag, and kept on guard, not knowing when another attack would come.

I took out all the magazines in my bag and took up my stance again. Even Yuseo would have been severely low on mana, so he wouldn’t be able to attack easily.

“Eeeeek!!!”

However, Yuseo was currently in a very strange state of mind. He shouted loudly and ran right next to me using his mana. A truly terrifying gust of wind blew.

It seemed like she was planning to attack from the side. I quickly figured out Yusera’s thoughts and took out another item from my bag.

“Do you think I’ll just stay still like this?”

Green liquid in a bottle.

I scattered it on the floor without hesitation and immediately took out another item. Then I quickly threw something that looked like stone powder into the green liquid. Honestly, I felt sorry for wasting it, but it was nothing compared to my life.

Survival is what matters right now.

Finally, he took out the lighter.

In the meantime, Yuseo was moving around here and there, making it confusing as to where it would come from. This showed that the attack itself would not be very powerful.

Then, Yusera flew towards me. I looked at the situation and turned on my lighter to light the green liquid.

With a “Hwaruk,” a strong flame burst out around me. I calmly observed the situation and then gathered all my mana and used it.

Then, the flame slowly compressed and became smaller, and flew up to my hand. I quickly aimed the flame at the muzzle of the gun and aimed at Yusera.

I feel the hot heat deep inside my body.

I pulled the trigger without hesitation.

bang!!

The sparks flew and attacked Yusera. But she also stretched out her hand as if she had anticipated this situation.

“Hellfire”

Hurrah!

The crimson flames that appeared from her hand formed a pillar and blocked my attack. It seemed that they were able to cancel each other out because they were the same flames. Since I had expected this to some extent, I immediately continued my next action.

I hold the sword I was holding straight and look straight at Yusera. The distance between me and her is almost as short as a sword.

Yusera raises her sword and tries to strike me. In just a few seconds, I figure out the swordsmanship she uses in that situation and quickly deflect the blade diagonally. Then, without hesitation, I pull the trigger.

bang!

Even though I didn’t have any mana in me, I was able to hit her. Yuseo let out a small groan as if she was in pain, and then, as if she had finally realized what was going on, she backed away from me.

“You don’t have much mana left now, do you?”

If it had been original, it would have still been free, but thanks to her useless performance art of destroying the surrounding pillars, it was quickly dropped.

Also, even if she was originally low on mana, she would be able to somehow lead the situation to a favorable situation, but since she would be mentally confused right now, even that would be impossible.

As the situation became quite unfavorable, Yusera’s expression became distorted.

“Why the hell are you doing this to me?”

Yusera muttered as if she was dissatisfied with something. I was about to say something in response as I watched her, but at that very moment, she screamed even louder.

“What on earth did I do wrong!!”

I shut my mouth in surprise. What she said made me think of the events in the original story, but I couldn’t answer because they hadn’t happened yet.

Maybe I committed a sin the last time, but I couldn’t say anything because it wasn’t my place to answer.

I don’t know her at that time.

“Why can’t I be the only one happy? What did I want? I just wanted to be happy with my family!!!”

I was finally at a loss for words after hearing what Yusera had said. So I put down my gun for a moment and listened to what she had to say.

“I wanted to live a normal life. I wanted to live happily. I just wanted to get along well with my family. But why are you taking everything away from me? Why am I the only one who is unhappy!”

Those words that were spoken with a sad tone. She was holding a curse towards something.

“Was I being greedy? I just wanted to live happily with my grandmother. But why did you take that away from me!! Was that so wrong!!!”

Perhaps it is an emotion that is incomprehensible to me now. That is because I am just an ordinary person who has lived an ordinary life and who happened to be possessed by a novel I was reading.

So, I still couldn’t fully understand her feelings.

“So, I thought I was finally going to be happy. I thought love was finally coming to me. I thought a relationship was forming. But why isn’t it working out this time?”

Yusera was muttering softly and complaining. No, more precisely, she was making excuses.

“Why can’t I even experience that common love? Just because I’m someone who shouldn’t be like that? That’s too much. That kind of world is just too much.”

Comes to me slowly.

“I’m the only one who’s unhappy, can’t find happiness, and has no hope. It’s just too much to focus all that on just one person. That’s why I resisted.”

Moreover, he walks towards me.

No more pain.

Even the feeling of being completely unfamiliar.

“Is that so wrong?”

She wanted to say something, but I just kept my mouth shut.

Yu Seo-ra remained silent for a moment, then smiled and asked me.

“I want to lock Jaehyuk up, can I?”

The desire of Yusera, who spoke out so innocently. Maybe it was just a joke on her part. But I seriously contemplate the answer.

Even if it was a will, she knew that such an act itself was wrong, that it should not be done. And at the same time, she knew that I would deny it. Nevertheless, she continued to make excuses and hoped that I would affirm it.

Although I can’t show it, I may have been persuaded to some extent.

‘With this, we’re together forever.’

The last words from Yoo Seo-ra, who imprisoned Seo Jae-hyeok.

Those were not words spoken to Seo Jae-hyeok. Perhaps they were words spoken to a girl who finally found happiness after resisting.

When I understood that, I was even more speechless.

But here I had to give an answer. An answer to the girl who only rationalized.

“… … .”

Yusera is smiling brightly at me. It is a bright smile that I have never seen before.

It’s really an expression that doesn’t seem to fit the original work. When I saw that expression, I couldn’t help but open my mouth.

“So, no.”

He spoke in a heavy, hushed voice.

“What crime did he commit… … . Please put that sword down, I’m sorry.”

There was nothing I could do. All I could do was apologize.

“… … What are you sorry about?”

“All of them. Just, I’m sorry.”

It’s hard to open my mouth.

“What on earth is not a sin?”

“Seo Jae-hyuk, he didn’t do anything wrong to you.”

I took a deep breath and continued.

“No matter how much you want happiness, you shouldn’t make an innocent person unhappy.”

It was really simple and obvious. But the will slowly approached as if it was a complaint.

“Then what about me? How can I be happy? Is there a way?”

“Method… ….”

How to make Yusera happy.

How can Yusera not be unhappy… … .

“I don’t know.”

“Then don’t talk nonsense without knowing.”

“But.”

… … .

“But I know how to keep you from being unhappy.”

“… … .”

“And that’s it.”

I immediately raised the gun and continued speaking in a heavy tone.

“I’m stopping you here.”

Yusura’s expression hardens and she approaches me more closely.

“Please stop. Come to your senses. You’ll only regret it if you do this.”

“Shut up.”

“I don’t know what happened to you. But this isn’t it… … .”

“Shut up!!”

Kwaaang!

Finally, she comes running towards me. I look at the situation for a moment, look around, and then naturally take aim and pull the trigger.

bang!

He kept pulling. So many bullets flew and hit a pillar.

Yusera runs towards me without stopping. The distance is almost close. I step back and wait for the situation to change.

Kugugugugu!!!

When Yusera was almost close to me, the pillar suddenly started to collapse. Yusera, who saw the falling pillar, realized that it was coming towards her. She quickly got away from the pillar.

But I’m not done yet.

Okay, I had to stop her here.

I quickly pulled the trigger on the other pillars after changing the magazine. Luckily, the pillars that were continuously hit by Yusera’s sword were enough to be taken down with just the bullets I fired.

Bang! Ta-tang─!

Gradually, several pillars collapsed. They all fell towards Yusera, and it was difficult to dodge them. Without waiting, I aimed straight ahead and shot a bullet at her leg.

bang!

Bam!

“Ugh!”

Yusera let out a groan of pain and collapsed for a moment. In the meantime, the pillars collapsed, and she had no choice but to endure the attacks.

Kwakwaang!!!

The fallen pillars.

However, there must have been a Manara left until the very end, as if Yu Seo-ra had not yet fallen. She was standing still, as if trying to prove that she was not wrong.

“Sorry, you lost.”

I had no choice but to take out one last item from my bag.

An apple-shaped object the size of a thumb.

An item I’ve seen before.

It was a ‘magic poison apple’.

“There’s probably no mana left, so how are you going to stop it?”

Yusera was momentarily flustered, then hurriedly ran towards me. Her eyes looked as if she was going to kill me at any moment, and it seemed like she had sensed defeat.

But I used the item, feeling that I would win.

Yuseo, who had been running at a tremendous speed, slowly lost energy as her legs slowed down. She started walking halfway, and when she got to me, she seemed to be getting sleepy, and she slowly closed her eyes and was about to collapse.

dump.

I went inside and supported her with my shoulder to keep her from falling. I could clearly see that Yusera had fainted.

So I put her down on the floor for a moment and looked around for a moment.

Seriously, this place was so miserable. It was not even a laughable situation. But I was smiling.

“Look. Look.”

I was talking to someone.

“Look!”

I stopped Yusera.

It made possible what was thought to be impossible.

They completely distorted the original story!

At that fact, I burst out laughing as if I was feeling a new emotion. At that moment, as I was accepting the situation, I muttered one last word.

That would be a phrase that describes me well in many ways.

‘If you’re not satisfied, you fix it.’

“I changed it because I was dissatisfied.”
