Chapter Index

    “Okay, then shall we start the meeting?”

    This was meant to get straight to the point.

    Everyone probably had their own work to do, so I felt sorry for taking up their time.

    Pinch-!

    “Huh?”

    “Mwaaa!”

    But maybe he didn’t like me like that?

    Mnyangi looked back, slightly puffing out her cheeks.

    He frowned ever so slightly and made a face that said, ‘Seha, you’re so oblivious!’

    “… Mnyang?”

    “… Muuaa!”

    Confused, I turned my head when I felt another gaze next to me.

    Moon Bo-ra also lowered her sunglasses and opened her eyes in a subtle way.

    Similar to Mnyangi, his expression said, ‘Seha, you’re so indifferent.’

    While I didn’t know what was going on, Mnyangi softly whispered in my ear.

    “Doesn’t Nayong look cute in Seha’s opinion?”

    “Huh?”

    I was a little confused.

    What does this mean?

    ‘… ah.’

    3 seconds later.

    I realized their intentions late.

    When I think about it, I…

    ‘You didn’t say anything special to Joo Na-yong?’

    “Junayong.”

    “Uh, huh?”

    “You look pretty today. It suits you well.”

    “… Yo, Yongwoo?!”

    Was the sudden praise too strong?

    Jun Na-yong’s face turned red.

    White steam rose above my head.

    “Yong, Yongaa… ”

    Well, I did spit it out…

    Actually, it was new to me.

    ‘It’s already pretty, but why…’ ‘

    The fact that Junayong is pretty was something I felt keenly the last time I went to the amusement park.

    As expected from the character of ‘Gosra’, Joo Na-yong has a good original version.

    In addition, she had recently consumed the [Siren] [Increased Color] rune. It would be even weirder if it wasn’t noticeable.

    “So whatever you wear, it goes well with it.”

    *

    ‘Yo, yo, yongaaaa…’ !’

    Joo Na-yong sticks out his tongue in shock.

    She felt her heart tremble at the sight of Yoo Se-ha smiling.

    Every single word that was spoken casually was a fatal blow to the heart.

    ‘Bo, the original version is a beauty…’ ‘What do you mean?’

    Of course, Joo Na-yong heard things like that a lot.

    In fact, when she went to social gatherings, most of the men looked at Joo Na-yong and whispered that she was beautiful.

    But nothing made any sense or interest.

    Rather, it was so unpleasant that I wanted to throw a fist.

    but…

    Isn’t it Yu Se-ha and no one else?

    One word from her lover made her not know what to do with herself.

    ‘Yonguuuu… ‘

    Joo Na-yong is always curious about what Yoo Se-ha thinks of him.

    If it was just that kind of female friend, I would feel a little sad.

    I just gained some confidence with my words.

    ‘Yonghehe… ‘

    The corners of my mouth naturally rose.

    He then expressed his gratitude to Mahana, who was looking at him with a happy face.

    Mahana was the first to suggest that we braid our hair and make it look pretty.

    “… … ”

    Right after. Bora Moon, who was sitting next to her, twitched her mouth ever so slightly.

    It’s like, compliments are good, but isn’t it okay to not give such excessive lip service? It was an expression like that.

    Definitely jealous.

    Zhou Nayong was slightly elated.

    He hummed towards Moon Bo-ra.

    “… … Heung.”

    “Yonghehe… ”

    While the two were fighting a bit, Yu Se-ha began the meeting in earnest.

    In fact, there is nothing special about calling it a meeting.

    It’s just a story about deciding what to do during vacation.

    Of course, Yoo Se-ha assumed that they would run around together this time as usual.

    But his idea collapsed from the beginning.

    “Meaaaa, Sehaya. I’m sorry, I don’t think I can go with you.”

    “Oh!?”

    Mahana explained.

    I became a student of Professor Cha Yeo-ju.

    Actually, this was a story everyone knew.

    Cha Yeo-joo drew the line that she was not an ‘exclusive student’ and had already confessed before that she had only accepted her with the intention of giving her specialized classes for a month or two.

    “And I decided to take that class this time… ”

    Shield art.

    Yoo Se-ha was also well-versed in shielding skills.

    I remember having to deploy the protective shield in ‘Gosra’ and it being difficult.

    “So, Professor Cha Yeo-ju’s hometown and main house. I’m going to go to the mountain where pure magic flows.”

    “I see. I can’t do it.”

    Yoo Se-ha looked a little disappointed.

    Joo Na-yong, who noticed immediately, also raised his hand.

    “ing? Joonayong. You too?”

    “Yongeuung… ”

    Joo Na-yong closed his eyes tightly with an expression that said he really didn’t want to go.

    “Uh, my mother called me… I think I should go home.”

    “Aha… ”

    When I heard the words “mother who is campaigning,” I thought about Suok-bin’s words two days ago.

    ‘Joo Ye-yong… ‘

    There are only 5 S-class hunters in Korea.

    He was a powerful neutral NPC who clashed with ‘Tang Seoran’ in the mid to late part of the main story of ‘Gosra’.

    The master of the 4th largest clan asked me to come.

    There was no way Jun Nayong could refuse.

    “Okay, have a nice trip.”

    “Yongeuung… ”

    Yoo Se-ha looked at Dongtan Moon Bo-ra for the last time.

    She lowered her sunglasses as if she had been waiting.

    “Moon Bora, do you have time?”

    “I’m a bit loose.”

    In fact, there was a high probability that even Moon Bo-ra would not have been accepted originally.

    However, thanks to a message from my teacher, Mira Cheon, I suddenly had free time.

    ―As expected, it seems like the cold flowing through your body cannot be treated with normal methods.

    I will go to a place I know and get herbs specialized for yang energy.

    -It will take about two weeks. In the meantime, do whatever you want.

    At the explanation, Yoo Se-ha looked like he was satisfied with the explanation.

    “Moon Bo-ra, you definitely said that the [horsepower] value was over 50, right?”

    “Yes, it is exactly 51.”

    “Then, why don’t you take the B-class hunter test with me?”

    Moon Bo-ra thought about the suggestion for a moment.

    I immediately readily agreed.

    “Good. Still, I thought I should take this opportunity to raise my grade and gain some qualifications. The higher your level, the more dungeons you can go to.”

    “Okay, let’s do our best.”

    “Yes.”

    After finishing speaking, Yu Se-ha looked at the group again.

    “I think everyone knows, but no matter what, we’ll all be gathering in 4 weeks?”

    As I said before, I already made an appointment.

    A month later, we all gathered together and decided to stay in a training camp for the ★ (provincial) exam.

    It was a breakup for a while.

    Everyone nodded at Yoo Se-ha’s words.

    good. This ends the meeting.

    ‘One last thing before we break up… ‘

    Decided to do it one more time.

    Um, um…

    Because I can’t do it for 4 weeks.

    I decided to give it a try now.

    “Mnyang.”

    “Muaa?”

    Joowoouk-!

    Keep going!

    Joowoouk-!

    “Meua, Meeuaa, Hjimeua. Muaa, muaa.”

    “Hehehe… ”

    * * *

    After the meeting, we returned to our respective dormitories and started packing our bags.

    “Phew… ”

    I wiped the sweat running down my forehead with the back of my hand.

    Although simple, I could see suitcases meticulously stacked.

    The last thing left behind was a shabby-looking moving box.

    “Hmm… ”

    It’s a box that doesn’t look like much on the outside, but…

    When I opened it, what came out was definitely not something to pass up.

    ‘Paid goods gifted by GM.’

    Almost all of the growth goods were used up, and what was left was the and other miscellaneous items that I would give to Joo Na-yong for the rest of his life.

    I’m the type of person who always considers the worst, so there were a lot of things I saved and cherished that turned into shit.

    Some were discarded after their expiration date…

    ‘But everything important still remains… ‘

    I took out a fist-sized fruit and a small potion bottle.

    It was [Fruit of Cheonmuhwa] and [Elixir of physical growth] that contributed greatly to the establishment of this body in the first place.

    ‘… … ‘

    It was the first time I said it.

    Cheonmuhwa and the elixir of physical growth are said to combine together to achieve explosive growth, but if you take them twice, your body will explode and you will die.

    However, this is a situation where no measures were taken…

    By applying these two, I was able to create a very powerful buff.

    ‘Is this actually my hidden card?’

    I organized the items in the box appropriately and stored them in the sub-space of [Slasla].

    It was really convenient to be able to store other items as well.

    ‘finally… ‘

    Fruits and elixirs were arranged so that they could be picked as quickly as possible.

    Just in case.

    Okay, this is the end of packing.

    I was just wondering what to do now.

    smart.

    The sound of a knock on the door.

    I went out carefully…

    “… Oh, hello… ”

    “Junayong?”

    Joo Na-yong, dressed in cute sleep pants, was looking up, wriggling her fingers.

    “Ah, inside… Can I come in?”

    *

    I served a cup of tea to Joo Na-yong, who glanced at my room.

    Jun Na-yong, who had finished drinking his tea, asked with a slightly surprised face.

    “… ?! Wow, what is this? What is so delicious?”

    “It is a tea made by boiling the bark of [Ryongcheongwa].”

    “[Ryongcheon]… ? Even the shell isn’t something that can be easily obtained… ”

    In response to Joo Na-yong’s question, I was about to say, ‘Senior Shinbitgaram gave it to me a few days ago as a token of gratitude,’ but I stopped.

    ‘uh… ‘

    Suddenly, memories of the past came to mind.

    The day we decided to play together at the amusement park.

    When I heard that senior Shinbitgaram helped me with coordination, I remembered Nayong Joo’s scary appearance when he first responded coldly.

    At that time, it was no joke, it seemed like a descendant of a white dragon that controlled ice, not a red dragon that controlled fire.

    “Yoo Se-ha?”

    “Uh, uh, yes! Well, it was sold cheaply on the Hunter app… Is this a limited item? So I was lucky enough to get it.”

    “Yonghee~”

    I looked at my favorite Joo Na-yong and raised my hand over my chest.

    ‘… what?’

    Although it was a little bit, I was puzzled.

    Even if it’s scary…

    Was there a need to lie? ?

    I couldn’t believe I just…

    ‘… ‘Did you care about Joo Na-yong’s feelings?’

    … … why?

    It may not seem like a big deal, but it was a little confusing to me.

    I usually do that… Even if I was conscious of it, I just ignored it.

    He was silent for a moment and then shook his head.

    Because it’s a useless thought.

    “So what happened?”

    “Ugh, that’s… ”

    “Oh, I don’t plan on putting pressure on you. If you came here because you wanted to have fun, come with us-”

    “-Oh, no… Lord, I came here for something important.”

    When I looked at him with a questioning expression, gulp! Joo Na-yong swallows dry saliva.

    Immediately, he closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head.

    “I’m sorry!”

    “… Give it to me?”

    “I, I, actually… ”

    I’m from the 4th clan, !

    *

    Joo Na-yong’s heart trembled.

    My heart trembled not with a feeling close to happiness, but with a feeling close to fear.

    ‘… more… ‘

    I should have confessed sooner.

    I had such regrets…

    I couldn’t help it.

    Because I’m a coward, I keep putting it off and I’m saying this late.

    He had to take responsibility for it.

    Ahead, Yoo Se-ha was looking with a bewildered look on his face.

    Joo Na-yong explained step by step.

    “Me, I actually… I am not a senior clan member of . Oh no! That senior clan member is correct… Well, that’s not the only thing.”

    “Huh?”

    “I am the person from . And it’s not just a relative or an executive-level person… ”

    Joo Ye-yong.

    “It’s his daughter… heir… Hey.”

    “… … ”

    “Mi, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to deceive you on purpose. just… ”

    “It’s okay.”

    “Yong?”

    Joo Na-yong raised his head at the unexpected answer.

    Yoo Se-ha was looking at him with a faint smile.

    Thanks to that, Joo Na-yong figured it out one step sooner.

    “… Did you know?”

    “Two days ago, by chance… I didn’t know until then, and in fact, there were several hints.”

    I just didn’t think of it.

    “Well, that’s right… ”

    Zhou Nayong felt a little relieved.

    I thought it might not be the case, but in reality, he didn’t seem to have any sense of rebuke or betrayal towards himself while campaigning.

    “My, my story… Will you listen?”

    “Yes. As much as you want.”

    While campaigning, I sipped on tea and listened to the story.

    Uncharacteristically, I spoke a little sparsely, so the content was a bit long.

    ‘to sum up… ‘

    It is said that when the friends he played with when he was young found out his location, their only reaction was to be scared or try to get something out of him.

    It became a kind of trauma and I stopped talking about it often.

    Additionally, Jun Nayong’s upright character also played a role.

    “It’s not my strength… I got it from my mother’s position… Because bragging is a bit unsightly.”

    I’ll have to say that someday…

    I thought I should say something and this is what happened.

    “I will never use you. I didn’t mean to trick you. Trust me.”

    “You’ve been saying strange things since a while ago.”

    “Yong-ah?”

    Joo Na-yong, who was tilting his head in puzzlement, soon felt a tingling sensation running down the top of his head.

    Yoo Se-ha stroked her head.

    It seems like it’s okay…

    It’s like seeing something cute.

    “Yong, Yongaaaa… ”

    “Rather, I am grateful.”

    “Yong-ah… ?”

    “You kept being considerate and helping me whether you knew it or not, right?”

    Why did Joo Na-yong hide it?

    Even if you take away all the other unnecessary things, you can tell this just by looking at Joo Na-yong’s usual personality.

    ‘I guess he was trying to avoid getting caught up.’

    The next successor to .

    He is a promising prospect who is attracting attention and is one of the strongest first-year players at .

    Naturally, people with various purposes would have approached her, and naturally, those who were closest to her, including me, would have reached out to her.

    However, in recent years, except on a few occasions over the past six months, I have not felt any special approach.

    Is this just because the fence is strong?

    ‘Is that possible?’

    It was all possible because Joo Na-yong worked hard from behind and blocked it as much as possible.

    “Yong, Yongaa… Yong… ”

    Joo Na-yong doesn’t know what to do with his hands.

    Yoo Se-ha chuckled, looking at her like that.

    “Do you know all the other kids?”

    “Yong? uh? ah. Yes! Mu, Moon Bo-ra knew from the beginning, and while Mahana was talking, I said… ”

    “That’s right.”

    “Um, over there… ”

    “Huh?”

    “Are you angry? No matter what you say, you fooled me-”

    “-Uh huh, do you want to keep embarrassing people?”

    I frowned slightly and stroked Jun Na-yong’s head recklessly.

    A small scream came out of Jun Nayong’s mouth.

    “Mmm, my hair is a mess.”

    I laughed heartily.

    Feeling betrayed?

    ‘at all… ‘

    I said it from the beginning.

    I’m going to show my kids everything that’s possible.

    ‘Deliberately claiming to know future knowledge… ‘

    As if it were only natural, the reason we went together was to discover a secret that others had been unable to find even after decades of searching…

    It’s all in order to reach the ending they want.

    It’s something I do because I like it in the first place.

    I think again.

    Even if my final ending is one of betrayal and suffering…

    ‘You won’t regret it.’

    but… one thing.

    Originally, I didn’t think much about it.

    It took over and over again.

    It felt like I was noticing a fish thorn in my throat that had been stuck in my throat for a long time and was noticed by someone else.

    ‘My past.’

    The past that I know about the real me.

    It is a story of the murderous intent and celestial death of a being that is not a being called Yu Se-ha, but a being that is inside.

    ‘… … ‘

    Even though I have always been confident about this part…

    It was a little scary.

    *

    Meanwhile, Joo Na-yong, who loved Yoo Se-ha’s touch like a puppy, thought.

    ‘Yonghehe. I’m not sure what it is… ‘

    Anyway, I felt good.

    Yes, as expected, I was very happy spending this time with Yoo Se-ha.

    If you feel like it…

    I really wanted to hug him and sleep with him.

    I tied him up with the dragon’s tail so he couldn’t even move, and then screamed! I wanted to hug him.

    ‘Yo, Yong-ah… ‘

    ah! Oh, don’t get me wrong.

    Hey, I think it’s still too early to do anything dirty.

    Just clinging tightly to them, feeling their body temperature, body scent, here and there, etc.

    ‘… Yonghehe… ‘

    Joo Na-yong is wandering around, letting his imagination run wild.

    ‘… … ‘

    Is it a coincidence?

    She, too, is in the midst of Yoo Se-ha’s hesitation over memories of the past.

    I hesitated over something I couldn’t say before.

    ‘… ‘Joo Yuri.’

    A cousin and rival.

    A few days ago, I heard exactly what happened through the team leader.

    ―… Well, what if I say that and kick you out!

    -miss. Joo Yuri is the enemy. No matter what happens, be thorough…

    ―No matter how much it goes, it’s too much! Anyway, we are the same family. We need to talk!

    ‘… … ‘

    Zhou Nayong had a bitter aftertaste because the matter had already left his hands.

    However, these thoughts soon eluded me as soon as I heard the surprise Super Ultra Yongwoowaaaang from Yoo Se-ha’s mouth! Breath! With one word, it flew away in an instant.

    “Junayong.”

    “Yong?”

    “Would you like to eat ramen today?”

    “… … ?”

    dragon.

    dragon.

    dragon?

    Yong… ?

    “Yong… Ahhh?”

    Yongaaaa!?
