Kwak-

“Something seemed a little strange.”

Grabbing Do Yu-jin by the collar, Chabia narrowed his usually sharp eyes.

An ominous light was streaming out from the eyes visible through the gap, and Do Yu-jin swallowed without realizing it as she looked at him.

“ Judging from her actions, it looks like she’s looking for someone there… … ”

“That, that’s… … ”

“But what kind of guy were you looking for to cause such a fuss in the classroom? I was a little curious, so I thought about it carefully, and then I thought, “Oh my god?””

Chabia growled as he ignored Do Yu-jin’s attempts to make excuses.

“Come to think of it, I know someone similar? A guy who hides so well that I couldn’t find him no matter how hard I searched.”

Originally, Do Yu-jin had created the image of a nerd by wearing glasses in front of Chabia.

It was just a light disguise to make it easier for her to approach him, but now Do Yu-jin was sincerely praising her past self for making that choice.

“Ah, hahaha, that’s what I mean… … ”

Because no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a proper excuse, so I couldn’t say anything properly!

‘What should I do? If we became closer later, then maybe it would be different, but with his personality now, he’ll just try to kick me out with this.’

Of course, if I had honestly told her everything, there was a chance she would accept me.

But it was obvious that it would be cheaper to just cut ties with Chavia than to tell him everything honestly, so naturally that was rejected.

‘But if we let him go like this, the power vacuum that will be created in the future will be too big… ‘

Do Yu-jin inwardly held her head.

‘Ugh, what should I do? If there was even a [masked actor (5★)], I would have tried to somehow manage it with acting and lies. Should I just use [the beauty of a beautiful country (10★)]? But then I’d have to deal with the aftermath… ‘

Ssuk-

“Looking at the reaction, it seems to be correct.”

Chabia, who saw Do Yu-jin groaning, let go of her collar with a sly smile.

“Don’t worry. I’m not saying I’m going to hand you over to that gorilla.”

“Ah… … !”

“Don’t misunderstand me. That doesn’t mean I’ll just let you go.”

“Yes?”

“Well, it’s a bit complicated… …Anyway, what I want to say is this.”

Kook-

Chabia raised one finger and lightly poked Do Yu-jin’s chest as if pressing a seal.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but are you running away from that gorilla bitch?”

“Yes, that’s right… … ”

“Okay, then you, follow me around for a while. Instead… … ”

Shhh-

“In the meantime, I’ll protect you from that gorilla-like bitch.”

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Chavia’s lips, like a hunter who had caught rare prey.

‘what?’

Do Yu-jin felt puzzled as she looked at Chabia’s smiling face.

‘The Chavia I know would never make a choice like this. If he sees something fishy going on, he’s the type to just kick people out.’

While Do Yu-jin was wondering, the moon that had been hiding behind the clouds appeared as if to say, “Don’t you know that?”

Thanks to that, Do Yu-jin was able to see Chabia’s face under the slightly brighter night sky, and at that moment, Do Yu-jin moved her lips without realizing it.

“Scars… … ?”

“Wow!”

After hearing Do Yu-jin’s words, Chabia hurriedly covered her face with her hands and turned away.

Seeing Chabia’s actions like that, Do Yu-jin finally succeeded in understanding the situation.

‘Did he… … lose to Rumi and get hurt in his pride?’

If that’s the case, then it makes sense.

Chavia, she was so stubborn and proud that she would perform all kinds of difficult training without complaining, just because she was determined to get revenge on the guy who beat her in the competition.

‘But when I saw it in the game, it didn’t seem to be like this, there must be some other reason… … Ah!’

Do Yu-jin felt a flash of inspiration strike her mind and opened her eyes wide.

‘It’s because I didn’t make it to the top ten!’

If it had been the original her, she would have been able to salvage her damaged pride a little by being included in the Ten Heroes.

‘First of all, I’m in the top 10 out of all these new students. I’m at this level even though I haven’t even cracked the egg yet, so if I train harder and get the hang of shooting, I’ll be number one.’

Something like this.

However, due to the butterfly effect of the protagonist being doubled, Chavia ultimately failed to enter the Ten Heroes.

That means, I’ve fallen to the same level as an ordinary extra!

‘There was even a class called Stella that didn’t exist in the original game, but I couldn’t get into that either.’

It was literally a series of eliminations, and for someone who had a high opinion of herself, it was a situation that could not help but hurt her pride in many ways.

And that is why Chavia is now even more obsessed than usual with finding a way to restore his pride, that is, a way to improve his skills.

Swish-

Do Yu-jin, who had realized the flow of events to that point, naturally realized what action she should take now and moved her lips.

“That… …I don’t know what your situation is right now, but I’ll help you. So, please feel free to talk to me.”

Do Yu-jin, who reenacted the role of a loner by recalling past memories, said this while looking at Chabia, who was crouching with his back turned.

It is a voice that gives a sense of trust and friendliness, created by slightly activating [the beauty of the country in its arms (10★)].

“I told you before, I’m a fan of Mr. Chavia.”

◎ ◎ ◎

After some time had passed.

‘What the hell is that kid doing?’

Chavia muttered to himself as he banged his fist on the tree next to him for no reason.

Should I say I’m lucky or should I say I’m unlucky?

Chavia was born into a famous company and grew up in an environment where he had no shortcomings.

But that environment wasn’t all good.

Just as she didn’t realize her talent, her gun-wielding berserker mode, because of the environment where she couldn’t feel the urgency.

“Wow, this is that girl? She’s even more beautiful than I’ve heard.”

“Ahem, you’re the daughter of the chairman of Illager? Shall we be friends from now on?”

“If you become friends with that kid, you’ll get a ton of beans?”

Because of the environment where there were no shortcomings, she inevitably had to meet all kinds of people and suffer from their pestering.

Some may criticize him, saying that he is worried about his well-being, and that he cannot even properly participate in social activities when he was born into such a wealthy family.

But Chavia was truly disgusted by the environment surrounding him.

That’s understandable, because she was a genius.

A genius in shooting who can read other people’s gazes with composure even in normal times, while others can only do so by holding their breath and sharpening their gaze.

And it’s because of that feeling.

Crack-!

Whenever Chavia encountered people who came to him, that is, people with some kind of malice or evil intention, he felt as if bugs were crawling on his skin.

That is, Chavia, she was a patient.

A patient who lives with severe mistrust and hatred of others, the complete opposite of Do Yu-jin who lives with extreme self-loathing.

But that annoying disease that has been tormenting her so much up until now.

Glance-

Right now, there was only one person who wasn’t responding properly.

‘What is the reason?’

Chavia turned her head slightly to glare at him, keeping her back turned.

The face is somewhat presentable, but not so much that it stands out.

He seemed a bit taller, but not so much that it was noticeable.

If I had to point out something that stands out, it would be the black hair and eyes that seem to suck in the starlight that shines even in the dark night sky, but are also not noticeable at the same time?

To put it simply, he was just a common street dog, with nothing special about him.

‘But why on earth?’

And this fact struck Chavia as even more amazing.

Even though my back was turned, it was the first time I had met someone who I could have a conversation with at such close range without feeling any discomfort.

‘Could it be that you have no ill intentions towards me? No, even if you’re my fan, is that really possible? I’ve met a few people who called themselves fans and approached me, but this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this.’

Of course, this was all Chavia’s misunderstanding.

Do Yu-jin clearly had dark intentions of capturing Chabia and making her grow up to save the world.

Still, the reason Chavia felt nothing was simple.

It was because Do Yu-jin used her traits as delicately as possible to deceive Chabia’s brain, senses, and instincts, avoiding the -100 favorability rating in real time, both when they first met and now.

‘I’m sure by now his subconscious is judging me as just another puppy passing by.’

There is a reason why Do Yu-jin first openly declared that she was a fan and then approached her slowly and cautiously.

After gaining +1 favorability by saying you are a fan, he made a sophisticated plan to avoid anything that would be a negative and executed it.

‘By the way, how long are you planning on doing this? It’s not like you’re dealing with kindergarteners, so I wish you’d turn around and look around.’

Do Yu-jin said it absentmindedly because he was bored at the time, but in fact, his expression was accurate.

As I said before, Chavia was so sensitive to reading other people’s gazes that he pushed away all kinds of human relationships since he was young.

And thanks to that.

‘Oh, what should I do?’

She had no idea how to approach other people in a normal and natural way.

‘Ugh… … ‘

You have to keep it close.

But I have no idea how to deal with that strange guy.

When Chavia, faced with this dilemma, held his head and groaned for a long time.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, memories of her past self came to her mind.

“That’s right! Come to think of it, there was one!”

The one relationship that even she, who pushed away everyone else, didn’t reject.

“Hey, you!”

Chavia, who remembered him, jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“You are not my fan from today!”

“… … Then what is it?”

“What the!”

Oh my gosh-!

“Of course you are my subordinate!”
