Sohee

Seongshin-sunbae’s game was pretty decent.

He unleashed sharp attacks from time to time, as if he hadn’t been practicing for nothing, and the opponent was greatly flustered and gave up his neck.

He’s usually just playing FPS games, but it seems he has skills that work well enough among ordinary people.

Seongshin-sunbae, who won the game, smiled brightly and came out of the capsule.

, “I. I won…!”

“You did well. Your skills have improved a lot, haven’t they?”

“Eung… Because I practiced all day…”

Now the second game is over.

I should go out for the next game. The moment I was about to get up from my seat with that thought, Sohee opened her mouth.

“I’ll go out this time.”

“Uh…? Wouldn’t it be better if I, I went out?”

“Hayeon-i is the best among us. The ace always appears last.”

“B-But… If Sohee wins, I won’t even get to play…?”

“Wouldn’t that be better? We can avoid exposing our strength to other teams watching this game.”

“Oh…”

I nodded at Sohee’s calm explanation.

Certainly, thinking about the future, it was a strategically more advantageous choice for Sohee to go out rather than me going out now.

“Can you wait here?”

“Yeah.”

Sohee finally got up from her seat when I nodded.

After hesitating slightly and pondering something, she eventually sat me down in the seat she had been sitting in with an awkward smile.

The chair, which had been crushed by her large ass, was very warm.

This is Sohee’s warmth…

“I’ll be back.”

“Go win!”

“Yeah.”

Immediately after Sohee entered the capsule, Sohee’s figure appeared on the screen.

Sohee with a long katana in her hand. She chose the samurai.

The opposing team, of course, had a knight with a good balance of offense and defense.

There was a bit of waiting time left until the game started.

At that moment, Ellie, who was looking around, cautiously approached and opened her mouth.

“Hayeon… Are you alright, my lady?”

“About what?”

“Sohee… Didn’t Sohee fondle your body like crazy?”

“Ah…”

I guess the skinship between friends looked strange?

I smiled lightly and shook my head.

“It’s not strange at all?”

Ellie has no friends. She’s lived at home her whole life, so she wouldn’t know the distance between close friends.

“N-Not strange…?”

“Yeah. Right? Seongshin-sunbae.”

Seongshin-sunbae didn’t have any friends either, but I couldn’t say for sure that he didn’t in the past.

Maybe he had a lot of friends in middle school and elementary school.

“Y-Yeah…”

Seongshin-sunbae smiled awkwardly and nodded.

See? I knew it wasn’t weird.

I nodded and gave Ellie a victorious smile.

At that moment, I could see through the screen that the game had started.

Sohee took a deep breath and slowly moved forward.

She was wearing all the basic armor except for the helmet.

Sohee, who headed to the center of the arena, was finally able to face her opponent.

Shiny silver armor.

A round shield that slightly covered his body and a long sword of moderate length.

The knight’s appearance was focused on defense rather than offense.

The opponent’s physique was larger than Sohee’s. Of course, that meant he could allocate a lot of strength stats as well.

How will Sohee break through that solid body?

Of course, if she uses the samurai’s characteristics and skills, she might be able to win.

Amidst the subtle silence, Sohee began to move.

A big step forward.

A hand reaching out to match it.

The blue flash fired from her waist went towards the opponent’s neck.

The stance is perfect. The bluish effect on the katana’s blade also shows that the skill is properly activated.

Kadeuk-!

As if sharp teeth were piercing flesh.

The katana’s blade cut through the opposing knight’s armor.

The armor on his chest, where the sharp blade had passed, was torn long.

The opponent, who was holding the shield, seemed to realize that he had been attacked late and hurriedly retreated.

The momentum had completely shifted to Sohee. She had to keep going and push the opponent.

The moment I clenched my fist, Sohee started moving forward as if she had noticed my thoughts.

A slight rotation was applied to the end of the blade that was swung upwards, changing its direction.

From top to bottom, a series of large downward slashes.

Shwee-ek-!

Kak- Kadeudeuk!

The long downward flash grazed the opponent’s arm.

Because the opponent hurriedly raised his shield, but Sohee noticed the movement and forcibly twisted the katana’s trajectory.

Sohee checked the opponent’s appearance and stepped back with a calm expression.

Good judgment.

Even though Sohee is in an advantageous situation, if she just swings her katana recklessly, it will be blocked by the knight’s solid armor. So she needed to step back and retrieve the katana’s blade.

An unavoidable choice to use the samurai’s skill, [Iaijutsu].

Seureureung- Tak!

Sohee retrieved her katana.

Her lowered stance, as if she could attack at any moment, and the katana rising from her back looked truly threatening.

[E-Euaaak!]

Could it be that he couldn’t believe he had been pushed back so much?

Or was he just blinded by jealousy due to the difference in talent?

I couldn’t know the exact reason, but the opposing team’s knight charged without checking his body.

A charge with the shield in front.

His body stretched out greatly and his hand reached out behind him.

The long sword in his hand was being swung greatly, aiming at Sohee.

But Sohee was calm.

Her eyes calmly lowered.

A blue flash is fired between her long black hair.

Chwaak-!

One step.

That was the number of steps Sohee took towards the opponent charging at her.

That one step determined the victory or defeat.

Ttaenggeurang-!

The long sword and round shield fell, losing their strength.

The knight’s body, staggering as if he had lost strength, soon knelt on the floor.

Teolseok-!

A long split neck and red blood gushing out from within.

All the circumstances were telling of the knight’s defeat.

Sohee, maintaining the stance of cutting down her opponent, lightly swung her katana, shaking off the blood on the blade.

Sohee didn’t forget her manners towards her opponent.

Even a silent bow to the fallen knight.

The finish was clean as well.

It was truly a perfect victory.

I nodded as I watched that.

It certainly seemed that what she learned from me was a great help.

The overall result of the game was a perfect victory for our side.

It was a best-of-four series, so there were no more games after that.

“Huuh…”

Sohee, who came out of the capsule, touched her forehead and smiled faintly.

It seemed she was quite pleased with her appearance just now.

Sohee always seemed mature, but seeing her childlike side from time to time made her look quite cute.

“How, how was I?”

Sohee, who turned her head, looked at me first.

Of course, the question was directed at me as well.

I smiled brightly and answered.

“You were awesome.”

“How much?”

“A lot.”

“In Deron terms?”

“About a world item?”

Was she pleased with my answer?

Only then did Sohee smile brightly and approach me.

Was it because she had been concentrating on the game in that short time?

Small beads of sweat were forming on Sohee’s forehead.

“Sohee… Don’t you ever think about raising a warrior instead of a mage?”

“Eung. Nope.”

“Y-You’re too firm… But… Hmm…”

Ellie, who was next to me, was also quite surprised by Sohee’s appearance.

Certainly, considering Sohee’s image of only playing mages, Ellie’s reaction wasn’t strange.

Seongshin-sunbae was also surprised and his eyes were sparkling, but he didn’t talk to Sohee.

I don’t know why, but Seongshin-sunbae felt burdened by Sohee.

“Congratulations on passing the preliminaries.”

While I was having a casual conversation with my teammates, a staff member said, pulling back the tent.

Then he walked straight to Sohee and handed her the documents he was holding.

“After all the preliminary matches are over, you can check the main bracket by accessing the address here by 8 PM today. Please make sure to remember the game date and don’t be late.”

That seemed to be all he had to say.

The staff member glanced at our entire team once, then turned his head and left the tent.

It seemed that everything he had to do here was finished.

I approached Sohee, who was holding the bracket, and took her hand.

Her hand naturally digging between my fingers.

The gentle strength of her grip.

A smile unknowingly blooms on my face at the warm warmth felt in my hand.

“Is everything done for today?”

“Yeah. Everything’s done for today.”

Then does that mean we’re free to wander around for the rest of the time?

I smiled coolly, led Sohee, and left the tent.

At that moment, I felt an intense gaze from across the street.

A gaze with a slight hostility.

But that hostility soon disappeared.

Wondering what was going on, I turned my head and saw a group of male students who had just come out of the tent across the street staring at us with their mouths open.

It was the opposing team we fought.

I smiled lightly and waved at them.

If they hadn’t met us, they might have made it to the main tournament.

But what could I do? They met us.

Having met my team, the team led by this beautiful girl Hayeon, their defeat was a predetermined fate.

“Do you know them?”

Sohee’s sudden question.

I tilted my head and answered.

“Nope?”

“Then why are you saying hello?”

“They were the opposing team.”

“Hayeon-ah. It’s not good to act like that after the game is over. I know you don’t mean to, but it might look like a provocation from the other person’s point of view.”

“Ah, ah? Is that so?”

I nodded blankly.

That’s definitely a valid point.

In a situation where they’re angry because of the defeat, if a small, beautiful girl like me smiles brightly and waves, they might think I’m making fun of them.

“My mistake.”

“Yeah. So be careful.”

Sohee said that and blocked my path.

As if protecting me from the male students’ gazes.

Sohee, whose heart is as big as her ass.

I hugged Sohee’s waist.

The main tournament will be held tomorrow.

We headed to a large hotel nearby.

The teacher who came here earlier had booked the rooms, so we were able to get the card keys at the hotel lobby.

“There are two rooms…?”

Two card keys were handed over.

I stared at them, holding the card keys in both hands.

“H-Hayeon!”

At that moment, Ellie approached as if she had something to say.

But Sohee reached out faster and snatched all the card keys away.

When I looked up at Sohee with a bewildered gaze, Sohee said.

“It’d be nice if I could use it with Hayeon.”

“Uh…?”

“Right?”

Is there really a need to share the rooms?

Even if it’s a little cramped, it would be more fun to spend time together in one room…

But it seemed that I was the only one who thought that way.

Ellie and Seongshin-sunbae nodded so vigorously at Sohee’s words that it was almost violent.

“Here. Hayeon-ah, come here.”

“Y-Yeah…”

Sohee reached out her hand towards me.

She grabbed my arm and handed the remaining card key to Seongshin-sunbae and opened her mouth.

“You must be tired from playing the game, right? Let’s go to bed early today.”
