When I came to my senses, it felt like quite a bit of time had passed.

Originally, I was just going to take a nap, but somehow I ended up oversleeping.

And it felt like something had changed in the ceiling.

The bed seems to be softer and bigger… No, wait a minute.

“… ???”

I half-raised my body and looked around.

Now that I look at it, the room itself seems to have changed a lot.

I had a rough idea of where this was.

It’s probably some kind of faculty dormitory.

I heard that the bed was particularly soft, so I guess there was a reason for that.

“What.”

Noh Chang-hoon gave me this wide bed and was sleeping face down on a chair.

Now that I see it, it was truly a sight.

The chair was small compared to Noh Chang-hoon’s size.

The desk was so narrow with various objects that I couldn’t even straighten my arms properly.

I kicked off the blanket, got up, and slowly shook Noh Chang-hoon to wake him up.

Fortunately, Noh Chang-hoon woke up quickly.

Then he looked me up and down, then opened his mouth in confusion.

“It’s morning… ?”

“No, uh… It’s 3 in the morning.”

“Hwaam… ”

“What did you do to sleep at your desk like this?”

“I’m moving some luggage and refining my plan.”

“Jim? Oh, this is the staff quarters, right?”

“Yes.”

“You worked hard. Go lie down on the bed and sleep.”

Noh Chang-hoon waved his hand as if it was okay, but his body was already heading to the bed.

Before long, Noh Chang-hoon lay down on the bed and fell asleep as if he had fainted.

I covered him with a blanket and looked at the desk.

He must have been studying something before falling asleep, and there were things like notebooks and pencils.

I was curious about the contents, but it didn’t seem like a diary.

Then there was no need to look.

If it were a diary, it was clear that if it were a notebook, it would only contain complicated things.

What operation, what information? There are things like that.

Anyway, all I had to do was listen to the information that Noh Chang-hoon or Kang Si-woo summarized in three lines later.

“Crap.”

Anyway, it’s 3 in the morning.

I never normally woke up at this time.

Well, you might not know it the few times you spend time outside.

Most of the time, I fell asleep and woke up before midnight repeatedly.

This made it difficult to spend time.

Noh Chang-hoon had just fallen asleep, so why not lie down next to him and sleep with him?

However, there didn’t seem to be anything worth doing in the room.

In the end, what I chose was to go out.

There wasn’t much to do when I went out, but it wasn’t like there was nothing to do.

You can talk to people who are awake, or you can talk to other people who are not asleep yet.

So I slowly opened the door and went out.

And as I was walking down the stairs, my foot suddenly slipped.

“Oh?”

I hurriedly threw out my arms, but because it was dark, I couldn’t grasp anything.

Fortunately, I didn’t fall down the stairs.

I was only able to grab the railing after hitting my back hard.

Instead, it hurt tremendously, and it made it difficult to breathe for a while.

Of course, that didn’t cause any problems or anything like that.

Although the pain was so severe that it was difficult to walk, the wounds had probably already healed.

I just felt really dirty, so I grumbled and went out.

As I grabbed my waist and went out of the building, a quite sight to behold unfolded.

Is it because after the situation broke out, almost anything that could be called a light source disappeared?

The night sky was very beautiful.

You can see quite a few constellations…

If it were Noh Chang-hoon, I think he would have told me what constellation I see in front of me is.

“Are you looking for the Great Triangle of Winter?”

“Evil!”

I grabbed my waist.

Because I turned around in surprise, the area where I hit felt sore.

Now that I look at it, it looks like it was hit pretty hard.

I was able to guess roughly just by looking at the lack of improvement so far.

I slowly sighed and looked at the man in front of me.

Kang Si-woo slightly put his hands forward and made an apologetic expression.

Yes, I just said I was sorry and let it go.

Otherwise, I would have said something.

I took my hand off my waist and pointed at the flashlight Kang Si-woo was holding.

“It’s dazzling.”

“Oh, sorry.”

“And the Great Triangle of Winter, what?”

“Do you see those bright stars over there?”

“Uh… ”

Kang Si-woo stretched out his hand.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at the night sky.

“Yes, whatever. I can see it. But, I don’t think it’s a triangle… ?”

“That bright star over there, the star over there. And connect this star.”

“Ah, what is it? Is it really a triangle?”

“And there will be a Milky Way nearby.”

“Wow.”

“This is the basics of finding winter constellations, so if you memorize them, you will be fine.”

Kang Si-woo was right.

For a moment, I counted the constellations in the night sky like a child.

Meanwhile, Kang Si-woo smiled happily and suddenly asked as if he remembered something.

“I heard you grab my waist earlier… It seemed like he was also breaking out in a cold sweat. Are you okay?”

“Oh, it hurts.”

“Yes?”

“I fell down the stairs. I hit my back, I guess I hit it hard.”

Kang Si-woo quietly shined the flashlight toward my waist.

I looked at my waist for a moment.

Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any bruises or scars.

No, it must have been played back before and disappeared.

Kang Si-woo looked at my waist for a moment, then nodded and said, as if that was the case for you.

“Ah, yes. what… ”

“… ???”

I stared at Kang Si-woo.

I wondered if he thought I had fallen down the stairs.

No matter how distracted I am, there’s no way I’m falling down the stairs.

This time it was just a mistake.

And I held on to the railing properly, so I didn’t fall.

No matter how much you undervalue a person, underestimating something like this is a bit weird.

But since Kang Si-woo was not at fault, he raised his head up again and looked at the constellations.

Kang Si-woo also raised his head upward again.

“Mr. Yeji.”

“Yes?”

“Do you have a shortage of daily necessities?”

“Uh… ”

It’s a household item.

While I’ve been on campus so far, I’ve never felt anything lacking.

Things like soap and shampoo have all been properly distributed.

In the first place, I had no inconveniences while living on campus.

Someone used to take care of everything.

That’s why Kim Yeon-hwa and Lee A-young used to provide women’s products as a bonus.

My sister said that if I didn’t take care of these things, I would just live without anything.

Anyway, there wasn’t anything lacking.

However, Kang Si-woo asked several times after that whether there was a shortage of daily necessities.

It seemed like they wanted to take extra care of me because of what happened recently.

Since you may be mentally stressed, I guess I’ll just tell you to take this to relieve your mood.

However, I thought it was strange that Kang Si-woo, who knew me well, would not do that.

If I was stressed out, Kang Si-woo would definitely bring delicious food.

And when they give it to you, they’ll even give you cola or cider to drink.

I closed my mouth for a moment to show my discomfort.

Fortunately, Kang Si-woo did not bring up the topic of household goods after that.

Instead, he started telling fascinating stories related to constellations.

The story was so interesting that even a few students who were on watch watched it slowed down and listened.

Kang Si-woo, who talked for about an hour, slowly looked around.

He then looked at the campus view with faint eyes and said.

“If the Viscount comes down, the campus won’t be this quiet either.”

“Well, you don’t have to be as alert for zombie attacks at night as you are during the day. Soon, strange guys will appear.”

“Yeah, well. Even if you try to minimize your losses as much as possible… The opponent is a zombie that never gets tired.”

“It seems like Noh Chang-hoon has a way, but I’m worried because I can’t find a solution.”

“It seemed like you were still worrying about what to do just now, Siwoo, is there any solution?”

“There is a way, right?”

“What is it!?”

Kang Si-woo laughed as if he didn’t know.

I rolled my eyes.

I could understand the way Kang Si-woo spoke.

It was about changing personnel.

The personnel here are me, Noh Chang-hoon, Kang Si-woo, and some survivors.

If you charge without thinking back, it won’t be difficult to kill Viscount in time.

Kang Si-woo stayed silent for a moment, as if he was sorry for teasing him, and then continued.

“The best way is to accumulate damage to Yeji.”

“Ugh.”

“I thought you would react that way. What should I say to Yeji? You are strong and weak.”

“That’s an insult, right?”

“It’s true. He curls his tail at the strong, and sinks his teeth at the weak.”

“What does that have to do with accumulating damage?”

“Yeji can’t stand being provoked by a mutant weaker than her.”

“… ”

“It is not suitable to act as a shield.”

It’s true, but I felt bad.

Yeah, whatever. I was often tempted by provocations.

It was like that when I first came here, and it was like that during the last attack.

No, that intelligent variant was good at provocation.

So it’s not my fault. Ground pound. innocence.

When I put the iron plate on my face, I seemed to feel a little better.

Kang Si-woo hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

“And there is one reason that is the biggest of all.”

“What is it?”

“Noh Chang-hoon is like that too, but I also think it would be hard to bear if Yeji were to go wrong.”

“… That seems like a confession. Be scared.”

“Is there any reason to be scared?”

I was silent for a moment.

And I thought about the heroines who would be involved with Kang Si-woo.

In fact, if it weren’t for Noh Chang-hoon, I would have been a strong political candidate.

Usually, in these novels, the competition to occupy the position of the royal family was extremely fierce.

As the person closest to the royal family, it was clear that I would be persecuted by the other heroines.

To be honest, the relationship between Kang Si-woo and the other heroines was often one of sick love rather than pure love.

I didn’t match Noh Chang-hoon for nothing.

Fortunately, Kang Si-woo seemed to take my silence with a different meaning.

“Honestly, I don’t feel like teasing me, Noh Chang-hoon, or Yeji too much.”

“If you know, please fix it. Especially because my heart drops every time I get teased by Siwoo.”

“Haha, sorry. Anyway, Yeji seems like a very close friend now… ”

I closed my mouth.

It’s like a very close friend. It felt pretty good.

Kang Si-woo himself said that he seemed like a very close friend.

I said, suppressing my overwhelming emotions.

“We are friends, right?”

Kang Si-woo chuckled.

And said.

“Of course.”

Of course, Kang Si-woo used the honorific title again after that and ran away as if he was embarrassed, but everything was fine.

I made a second friend who I can tell everything to.
