episode_0271

Today was a really unfamiliar ceiling.

It was my first time being hospitalized at an academy medical facility.

Well, the truth is that even though I was hospitalized, my body has already recovered through natural healing.

They say they will only monitor the progress for about a day, so you can rest comfortably.

I am quite used to living here as I am often in and out of the hospital room.

Lucy and Rumi came to visit earlier, and we had a fun time.

It was heartbreaking to see Lucy’s fist bleeding from hitting the barrier, and the three of us were in such a mess.

After the twins left, new guests arrived.

“Ugh… I shouldn’t have slept. I’m sorry. I won’t drink anymore. Never again….”

“…Stop crying.”

I smiled bitterly as I looked at Baek Ah-young, who was crying sadly with her face pressed against the patient’s bed.

It is said that Baek Ah-young and Im Sol joined the battle late because they passed out while drunk.

It seems like he feels guilty that I got hurt because of that.

Because of that crazy relationship, if it was Professor Lim Sol, it wouldn’t have helped even if Baek Ayoung came anyway.

“Sigh. I wanted to go there, but Sol forced me to go there.”

“…Are you blaming me like that?”

Imsol, who was next to me, looked at Baek Ayoung as if she were dumbfounded, and before I knew it, I was stroking the head of Baek Ayoung, whose face was buried in my leg.

I already heard it too.

Before Professor Lim Sol and Baek Ayoung came, Lucy and Rumi also came.

At that time, I heard about the surrounding circumstances.

Lucy also told me that Im Sol took Baek A-young with him to support the battle.

“…I asked to go, but I had no choice. It was natural that there were a lot more injured there.”

“Yes, I think it was a wise decision.”

Of course it is a good decision.

Both as a professor and as a hunter, that is the right decision.

At that time, it was a real terrorist situation.

If I had to choose between a place where I heard incomprehensible sounds and a place where a clear battle was taking place, I would definitely choose the latter.

Before they are heroines, they are teachers belonging to the academy.

But it’s probably not my fault for being a little playful.

“But, Professor Lim Sol.”

“huh?”

“If you knew I was there, would you have gone there?”

“…under.”

As I spoke with a playful smile on my face, Imsol blew honey on my head.

“Ah, that’s the patient, Professor.”

“It’s noisy. It doesn’t hurt.”

Imsol lowered his upper body and brought his face close to his shoulder.

After bringing our faces close enough to feel each other’s heat, he whispered in my ear.

“…If I had known it was you, I would have run straight away.”

“….”

It’s a little embarrassing to hear this.

I felt my cheeks turn slightly red and avoided the professor’s gaze.

“Are you satisfied?”

“Yes, yes. Thanks to you, it warms my heart.”

Imsol smiled and opened his mouth.

“Now that I think about it, I heard that this came out of the arms of the demon that the chairman disposed of.”

“Which one?”

Imsol held out an opaque bead.

“I was wondering if it might have something to do with the barrier that magical power couldn’t pass through that you mentioned. When I looked at it for a moment, it looked like a stone with nothing… but I wanted to show it to you just in case.”

“Oh, are you acknowledging me now?”

Originally, if it had been Imsol, he would have thought that others would not know what he did not know.

It feels good to be recognized.

“That’s not it, so come to your senses. I just want to see different perspectives.”

“Yes, I understand!”

I rolled the opaque bead around in my hands.

It feels just like a smooth stone picked up at the beach…

There is no way Shin Dong-min would have something like that for no reason.

“Once I feel better, I will investigate.”

“Yeah. There’s no need to give it back, so take your time.”

“Hehehehehe…keheung.”

“…Ayoung, stop crying.”

After this, Baek Ah-young soaked my bed and disappeared until Im Sol forcibly dragged her away.

Chop-ack-Chop-Ack-

I stood in the bathroom with a blank expression and splashed water on my face.

In the mirror, I saw an already familiar face.

Distinct facial features. If I had to express it, should I say that he looks like a gisaeng brother?

At the same time, he is tall and handsome… .

“Anyway, you look handsome.”

Although I may not say it myself, I thought he was handsome.

I can’t check the exact numbers because of the status window that doesn’t appear for some time, but compared to when I first became possessed, my combat power has grown tremendously.

At this rate, I am the real protagonist… It’s not surprising to say that. In fact, the original protagonist is probably worse than this.

Isn’t it amazing that I was able to do this well after being suddenly possessed?

Of course, there were some problems.

These are developments that are different from the original.

The relationship between a pandemic and hell that suddenly appeared.

I don’t know if it was ineffective everywhere, but I had absolutely no information about hell.

In fact, there were events that were not depicted in the original work, and many characters that did not appear appeared after it became reality.

Attacking the harem route, which I had never tried before, was also a problem.

Although the relationship with each of them could be said to be very good, there were some heroines who would have a backlash if they became a harem.

Lucy Rumi Twins, Ellis Namun Surin, Baek Ah Young, Naim Sol… .There were quite a few unstable heroines, but the most prominent among them were Alice and Moon Su-rin.

The problem with Ellis is that she wants to be at the center of any relationship.

Even thinking about what he said to Nam Da-eun, it was clear that he hated this harem.

“…It’s complicated.”

Of course, I can’t blame Ellis.

In the original, she is a generous woman who easily tolerates one night of playing with fire with another woman.

Ellis is probably under a lot of stress because of these twisted relationships.

Even during this terrorist attack, the injuries suffered by Ellis were more severe.

I was overdoing things with my congenital magical power disability.

Lucy and Rumi say that Ellis worked the hardest to save me, so I’ll have to visit sometime later.

I am being hospitalized in a hospital room nearby, so I can go if I feel like it.

Next is Surin.

From what I heard from the twins, this person also had a bad expression.

I’m not sure, but I heard he looked somewhat uneasy… I also worry because I hear things like that for no reason.

In fact, this terrorist attack itself has many ambiguous aspects.

It is said that there was an attack by demons from the front, but as soon as the professors appeared, it was blocked in vain.

In the end, the damage suffered by the Academy was minimal. Even though it was a pandemic, it is a bit suspicious that such a foolish operation was carried out.

In addition to the fact that Shin Dong-min attacked me directly, this was a terrorist attack that raised many questions.

Knock-knock-knock-

At that time, someone knocked on the hospital room door.

“Come on in.”

The person at the door was different from what I expected.

“…Chairman?”

I thought she was a nurse or a visiting heroine.

Why did this person come here again?

“Can I come in?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Sorry for taking a break.”

The chairman sat on the chair next to the bed, looking around.

Jae-cheol Moon, Chairman of the Victoria Academy.

Although he is an old man with a granddaughter, he is a person who ignores aging, perhaps by avoiding the passage of time. It may be because he is such a strong hunter.

The impression of a middle-aged man with a neat and easy-going appearance.

He is a person who does not look bad.

He is also a person with the sense of being the chairman of the board.

Just why did you come?

I’m worried because he was the one who tried to take advantage of me last time and told me to break up with Surin.

Of course, according to what Surin said, it seems like she feels good about it now, but… .

‘Why does he look so solemn and strict?’

That serious expression is a bit scary.

Why are you looking at me with those eyes?

“How is your physical condition?”

“…Um, that’s good. It could happen at any moment. I’m just trying to stay calm just in case.”

You probably won’t attack the patient, right?

I was a little nervous, but I didn’t let go.

“Don’t be too wary. I didn’t come here with that intention.”

The chairman, seeing me on guard, smiled apologetically.

Still, he seems to know that he was the one who provided the cause.

“The reason I came here today is for no other reason than to ask for a favor.”

“Please?”

Is there something you would like to ask of Chairman Ina?

As I was looking at him with doubt, Chairman Moon Jae-cheol suddenly stood up from his seat.

And he bowed his head to me.

“Please take care of our Surin.”

“…yes?”

Suddenly?

“You are the only one who can help Surin. You may find it strange that I am saying this, but… I am truly sincere.”

Moon Jae-cheol didn’t think it was enough to just bow his head, so he tried to kneel.

When I saw one knee hit the floor, I was startled and pulled Moon Jae-cheol’s shoulder.

“No, no. Why are you doing that? Suddenly. Yes?”

This is the problem.

Should we say that this is the harm of growing up in a Confucian country with a will?

I feel so weak when older people are rude to me.

It’s similar to a woman crying. I don’t know how to react.

It’s okay if he’s rude, but it’s even more so when he’s so polite.

“…I see. You don’t know yet.”

I forced Chairman Lee, who was about to kneel down, to sit on a chair and began to listen to what he said.

*

“The kid was crying. I’ve never seen him so weak since I joined the academy.”

“…yes.”

The chairman’s words were surprising.

It means that Moon Su-rin’s father has appeared.

‘It’s changed again.’

I have no idea what caused the butterfly effect, but Mun Surin’s father, who should have appeared much later in the original, has already appeared.

What’s also funny is that although the time period was different, the behavior is the same.

At that time, he suddenly appeared and tried to take Moon Su-rin away. It is said that he also attempted kidnapping this time.

‘Do we have something in common?’

Something in common between the original Moon Surin and the current Moon Surin.

Maybe it wasn’t me, but Moon Su-rin’s actions that were the trigger.

‘Awakening.’

As I quickly checked the information, I found one thing in common.

In the original work, the father event begins after Moon Su-rin awakens.

It’s still the same now. Not long ago, Moon Surin was attacked by a skull mask and awakened.

‘It’s a trigger to become stronger. I need Sister Surin’s strength… It appeared then.’

In line with the purpose of eliminating mines… The plan was to take Moon Su-rin.

“You are the only one who can help that child.”

I looked at Chairman Lee and stopped thinking.

I’ll think about this later, but for now, I need to end the conversation.

“…First of all, thank you so much for telling me this. But…is there anything I can do for sister Surin?”

“Stay by my side.”

“Next to you?”

“Yes. It doesn’t matter whether there are other women or not. There’s only one thing she wants. To keep her warm when she’s next to her… warmer than she is now.”

“…Is that okay? Honestly, I’m not confident.”

I was a little scared.

So far, I have acted on the heroines based on information from the original work.

Of course, even if information from the original work was used, it does not deny the relationship built with the heroine.

I’m just anxious.

The process of telling the heroines what they want, increasing likability, and resolving concerns that appear in the original work.

That process was lacking with Moon Su-rin.

We talked and our likeability increased, but there was no clear reason.

The relationship between me and the heroines is not something that can be overlooked by saying, ‘Haha, that was a mistake.’

If I make a mistake, my life could be lost.

That’s why I’m more careful.

The chairman, seeing my worried expression, smiled and continued.

“It’s okay. That kid is better than you think….”

Knock knock-

-Hoyeon, can I come in?

At that time, another voice was heard from outside.

They say that tigers will come when you tell them, and Sister Surin appeared right away.

And when the chairman heard that voice, he started to panic.

“Now, just a moment. Uh. Uh….”

“Chairman, why are you doing this?”

“I guess I’ll just go. Then!”

“Huh? I just said hello to Sister Surin and then headed through the door….”

The chairman suddenly got up, opened the window, and jumped out of the hospital room.

“…What.”

Did you come here secretly?

I thought he was a good person, but it seems like he was just a strange old man.

“Sister, come in!”

I spoke to Su-rin Moon, who was waiting outside.

Grumble-

“Hoyeon, are you okay?”

And Moon Su-rin, dressed in familiar attire, entered the hospital room.
