5. Signora (13)
Morning comes to Mond even if no one expects it. At dawn, when drunken drunkards were staggering out of the ‘Angel’s Share’ and the ‘Cat Tail Bar’, the sun would soon peek out from over the horizon.
Morning was the beginning of a new day. If the back alleys of Mond are filled with alcohol and poetry at night, the days are filled with the vitality of a city of freedom. Today, as I started the day, I saw people going to work everywhere.
This was the Mond Square in front of the cathedral, where the tall statue of God Barbatos looked over Mond. Uniquely, the Place de Mond was on a very high ground, so if you leaned on the railing, you could see the view of the Castle of Mond at a glance. Sometimes, those who use the wings of the wind for the first time stand here hoping for the blessings of God Barbatos, who is said to have taught birds how to fly with courage.
Today’s Mond Square was a little special. The Knights of Pebonius and the priests of the cathedral were present, and a small table was set up in front of the statue of God Barbatos. And a passenger was waiting there.
The beauty had an alluring figure with her rich platinum-colored hair braided, and her pale gray eyes gave off a soft blue glow when they caught the light. Her pure white skin and outstretched legs showed that she was a member of the Northern people, and her ominous headdress and red cloak covering her left eye made her a symbol of the strongest military group that the country of snow and ice boasts. It was showing that it belonged.
Her name was ‘Signora’, and she was the woman who sat in the 8th position among the executioners called the strongest in Snezhnaya.
Signora wasn’t in a bad mood today. Behind her, the members of the city were tense, wondering when they would suffer her Signora’s whims again, but the Signora had no intention of doing so today. Because today was a day worth celebrating.
How could we not celebrate this? It’s the day when we can finally get rid of those pesky intruders.
I remembered the face of a man named Signor and was filled with laughter. She is a man with sharp eyes, but not as bad as she looks. Although she had no power, she antagonized the Uindan and interfered with Signora’s plans at every turn.
She was a man who could kill with just a wave of her hand if she put her mind to it. To Signora, killing him was simpler than twisting the wrists of a child. Even those with the eyes of God were rarely able to stand up to Signora. Killing powerless civilians was literally nothing.
But he could not be killed. The social status he had built up and various other circumstances were denying his death. I don’t know if he was someone who didn’t think twice like Tartaglia, but Signora was a cunning hunter. He was not unaware of the fact that to achieve his goal he would always need to persevere.
But that too ended today. The man would not be able to interfere with the Signora’s plans for some time now, and he had no choice but to focus on protecting what he had built so far. In the meantime, it wasn’t a bad idea to press down on his boss with Mond’s supply chain that he had taken control of.
It was a sweet feeling. Signora recalled the man’s eyes. The eyes that did not bend even though his arm was pierced by an ice pick, and even the corners of his mouth that were twisted up even though he found it difficult to even breathe due to Signora’s murder.
Such strong people were truly something to be defeated. It was around this time that Signora was reminiscing about her memories with her man and contemplating his intense pleasure.
“The owner of the business has arrived.”
The Signora, who was crossing his legs and twitching his fingers, looked across at the words of the cathedral priest who was in charge of mediation today. His man was coming there. Those sharp eyes were the man she remembered.
‘Siu’, Signora quietly muttered his name to herself. It was the first time in a long time that she remembered the name of her antagonist. Because most humans died before they even remembered that name.
“…… “It’s been a while, little one.”
Signora greeted me in a languid yet sweet voice. She smiled her eyes. Siwoo trudged over without saying a word and sat down opposite Signora. He looked a bit tired. He grunted.
“No, no matter how much notarization is necessary, does it have to be like this in the middle of the square? “Look at the crowd of onlookers.”
He was a man who did not show any weaknesses until the very end. That’s why Signora liked Siwoo in her own way. That mental strength, the eyes of God, was all I could ask for from Her Majesty the Queen. But unlike his body, his mind was difficult to discipline.
That’s why I wanted to defeat him. I will completely break her and make her her person when she is hanging and begging. If so, she might be able to gain Her Majesty’s favor and rise to a higher position.
Of course, that was just wishful thinking. As a signor, she knew very well that Siwoo was a human being who would not do that even if he were to die. So the best course of action was to crush it so that it could never rebel again.
“We are trading sacred items from the god Barbatos. “Don’t you think the people of Mond have the right to watch that scene too?”
Siwoo snorted at Signora’s alluring voice. You wonder, since when did he care so much about the rights of the people of Mond? Her man was heard muttering.
But Signora did not care. She just stood there with a quiet anticipation, and she asked Si-woo.
“Rather than that, you probably prepared the items, right?”
Hearing those words, Siwoo glared at Signora without saying anything. Signora felt a secret pleasure from that gaze. Yes, I guess so. She couldn’t have prepared.
The ‘Pride of the Sky’ was already in the hands of Wooindan. Signora checked again and again. It was undoubtedly authentic, and was still stored in a secret location in the Wooindan this morning. So of course Siwoo had no way of preparing her things.
The moment of victory was just around the corner. It was finally time to sink my fangs into the nape of that insolent prey. A faint smile formed on Signora’s lips at that anticipation.
Siu gave Signora a harsh look, but eventually let out a sigh of relief. His lips parted.
“…… Of course. “Let’s check it out.”
Signora snorted. Even when a top employee, presumed to be Si-woo’s subordinate, brought in an item wrapped in cloth, he did not even look at it.
Is this the final struggle? However, the person in front of Siwoo was an executioner of the Wooindan who had expert-level knowledge of the power of God. Distinguishing between the real and the fake was a very simple task for someone as young as a signora.
There was a high possibility that it would be discovered by the Knights of Pebonius and the cathedral, which were in charge of notarization before that. No matter how much the arm was bent inward, a prestigious institution could not take someone’s side unreasonably, even if it was to protect its honor.
The moment Signora was thinking that, casting her bored gaze to the floor,
“It’s genuine.”
Words that should not have been heard pierced Signora’s ears.
Signora’s expression immediately frowned. What are you talking about? Signora turned her gaze to the source of the voice. The high priest of the cathedral who was in charge of the notarization today was sitting there. He seemed to have just finished appraising the item, wrapped it in cloth again, and handed it over to an expert dispatched from the Knights of Pevonius next to him.
I may have misunderstood something. Otherwise, the cathedral may have decided to give up its pride and blatantly take Siwoo’s side. However, the moment the Knights of Pebonius lifted the cloth covering the object, the Signora felt as if her breath had been taken away.
That light green brilliance and platinum cross guard. Even the gently flowing power of the wind element.
“After seeing it again, it is a great item. I can’t believe I should hand over something like this to a place other than Mond…….”
This was what an expert dispatched from the Knights of Pebonius said. Is it real or fake? It didn’t even need to be asked. The deep regret in his eyes was not fake. That meant that it wasn’t a game where they played games among themselves.
Signora gritted her teeth and stood up. His mind was confused by the sudden situation. She let out her voice as it reached her uvula.
“Are you kidding me? No way…… !”
Instead of answering, the expert dispatched from the Knights of Pebonius put the item down on the table. Signora meant to check for herself. Signora urgently scanned the condition of the items with her eyes. There had to be something wrong somewhere.
But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see it. It was ‘the pride of the sky.’ Signora could tell without even touching it. The power of the gently flowing wind element was the breath breathed by the transcendental of the Age of God. It was clear evidence that could no longer be falsified.
Signora’s eyes began to shake violently. It can’t be, but no matter how hard I search, I can’t find it. Around the time I thought so.
“…… “Why are you doing this?”
The thoughts racing through Signora’s mind stopped for a moment. The moment I heard that voice, I felt like everything made sense. The Signora cast her blank gaze upon the owner of her voice.
He was smiling. A smile that you can’t tell if it’s ridicule or pure joy. However, those eyes were burning so fiercely that they seemed to pierce Signora at any moment.
“Have you found anything that shouldn’t be there?”
It was only then that Signora realized. Something, yes. Something was going wrong.
Her man’s eyes were staring into her signora. Those weren’t her eyes of defeat. Siu still had a hand left that Signora didn’t know about.
**
Fighting with an opponent who did not follow the rules was always dangerous. This was because I didn’t know what the other person would do. In the world, there is something called common sense and there is something called discipline. The majority of humans live on it, and similarly, we believe that the majority of humans will live that way and predict their behavior.
However, that did not work for opponents who did not follow the rules. Wooindan was a representative example. Wooindan had no such thing as common sense. He does not hesitate to use violence and intimidates the weak without any hesitation. These were the tribes that attacked the hero who saved Mond from the Wind Demon Dragon in the middle of downtown Mond.
This was the same when protecting things. All I could predict was that the Wooindan would come to steal the ‘Pride of the Sky’. I didn’t know what he would do beyond that. So I hesitated.
The safest method, of course, was to use the ‘backpack’ function. But even this wasn’t perfect. The fact that I had an unidentified means of storage had already become widely known through my two trips up the country. Even I couldn’t predict how Wooindan would come out in that situation.
In the worst case, they could hire adventurers and other thugs to kidnap me, or target my close colleagues like Lumine or Mona. Either way, they were more valuable than the ‘Pride of the Sky’. I couldn’t put my life and the lives of my colleagues in the balance.
However, no matter how much the Wooindan did not follow common sense, there was a law that even they could not escape. That was common knowledge on the Tivat continent. It was not created by humans, but a law that has been observed since the birth of this world.
Then there was only one way for me to defeat the Wooindan.
If they are willing to walk a tightrope on the common sense of Mond, I will walk a tightrope on the common sense of the continent of Tivat.
“…… “This is fake.”
I looked at the woman who said that without saying anything. The platinum-haired beauty, who had always been arrogant and haughty, was glaring at me, chewing her lip. A feeling of disbelief was leaking from his wide-open eyes.
I had lost my composure. I burst out laughing when I saw that.
“This can’t be real. Because there is only one ‘Pride in the Sky’…… !”
“I see.”
In response to her struggling argument, I nodded my head. It meant that I agreed.
“So, isn’t that one here now? If not, where did you see the second ‘Pride of the Sky’?”
Signora’s gaze became even harsher at those words. Signora gritted her teeth. She finally couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed the table.
A sharp wave of energy erupted. The table shattered and wood fragments flew. The screams of onlookers echoed from afar at the momentum of one of the strongest men on the Tivat continent. Even the experts of the Knights of Pebonius and the high-ranking priests of the cathedral held their breath and took a step back.
But I remained calm. Not even paying attention to the hair blowing in the wind, he just glared at Signora and said a few words to her.
“Wow, that table is expensive. And isn’t the ‘Pride of the Sky’ rolling on the ground? Even so, it’s a new product worth 800 million mora.”
Signora walked towards me. His eyes met hers. Intense emotions were swirling in Signora’s eyes. Anger, bewilderment, and disbelief.
I chuckled and suppressed laughter. It was an extremely pleasant feeling.
“…… At first, nowhere did it say that there were two ‘Pride of the Sky’. “If such an important condition is missing, the contract terms must be readjusted.”
It was a growling sound. At a distance where we could feel each other’s breath, Signora whispered in my ear. It was a bewitching voice every time I heard it.
The panicked Knights of Pevonius tried to jump from afar, so I raised my hand to stop them. It meant it was okay.
“So, I don’t know what you mean when you say there are two ‘Pride of the Sky’. There is only one ‘Pride in the Sky’. At least that’s what I know. “There is only one new object, isn’t it common sense on the Tibat Continent?”
Then I lowered my voice. I also whispered into Signora’s ear.
“…… If not, is there any evidence that I was aware of the existence of the second ‘Pride of the Sky’?”
I spoke informally, just like when Signora and I first met. Signora glared at me with her fierce eyes.
Evidence? There must be. Because there must be ‘Pride in the Sky’ stolen from my secret safe at the top. But in other words, it was also like admitting that I had stolen.
Signora must feel like she’s going crazy. Yes, the surest way to avoid suspicion from those trying to steal the ‘Pride of the Sky’.
All you have to do is let it steal the ‘pride of the sky.’ Then you won’t even care anymore.
“And don’t act like you’ve been treated unfairly, with the terms of the contract and all. Anyone who sees it will think that we were treated fairly from the beginning.”
Signora trembled at the sound of my gentle voice, and then looked at me with cold eyes, perhaps calming down a little. But in a voice that was not yet irritated, she asked me:
“…… “How did you do it?”
I glanced at the profile of Signora, who was whispering in my ear. It was a question that filled her face instead of anger, embarrassment, and disbelief. A feeling that comes late when faced with a reality that cannot be understood at all.
“The god of Mond has become much weaker than his prime. Even the ‘Heart of God’ was pulled out. It is absolutely impossible to imitate the same new product… By the way, how did you do it?”
I laughed silently. While wondering what to say to the Signora, she decided to tell him only the truth.
“I am a merchant. “How could the merchant get the goods?”
Signora glared at me without saying anything. I shrugged my shoulders.
“Of course I paid a price to get it. “I paid a bit high price, but it’s worth it.”
Then I slowly got up. Signora, who was whispering to me with her upper body bent, flinched and stepped back behind her.
The two gazes met and became mixed. Signora was glaring at me, chewing her lip.
“So I told you.”
I placed my hand on Signora’s shoulder. And whispered into her ear.
“…… “I will make you regret it.”
At that moment, there was a bang, and a wave of air exploded. Before I could come to my senses, I was already grabbed by the collar and hanging from Signora’s hand. An intense murderous energy was blooming from Signora’s whole body.
She whispered to me in that alluring voice.
“I made a mistake… ….”
The Knights of Pebonius were running from far away. I felt like I was suffocating for my life. My whole body was shaking. I feel like I’m breaking out in a cold sweat and want to scream and run away right now.
Yes, the opponent was such a strong person. A strong man who can kill me whenever he wants. I can’t help but feel that fact more than ever,
The corners of his mouth twisted up. It was a very enjoyable feeling. I find this situation so pleasant that such a strong person can only vent his anger on me.
“…… “I should have pulled out that soft tongue, not the sword.”
“Are you okay?”
I was conscious of the approaching Knights of Pevonius, so I spoke again. But what appeared on my face was ridicule. Rights that the winner can exercise against the loser.
“…… “My tongue is more expensive than a sword.”
At those words, Signora seemed to be in tears and her spirit grew even fiercer, but eventually she snorted and pushed me away.
I stumbled and corrected my posture. A member of the Pebonius Knights was approaching with an angry expression. It was a face I had seen somewhere before.
“Are you okay, Quartermaster?! Even the executioner of Snezhnaya would dare to meet the supply officer in the middle of the square…… !”
“Just wait a week.”
However, the Signora did not even care about him. She again began to walk with that haughty and arrogant gait towards the group of friends who were standing behind her.
“…… “I don’t have the cash ready yet.”
I guess so, I burst out laughing a little at Signora’s words. The Signora was confident of his victory. He wouldn’t have been able to prepare the cash in the first place by giving up the supply chain. So now the Signora needed to hang on to the leash he had put on himself.
“Then, you must prepare a penalty of up to 400 million mora, a total of 1.2 Billion mora.”
Hearing my words, the Knight of Pebonius looked between me and the Signora with a puzzled expression. I rushed over because it seemed like something serious had happened, but the two people involved were talking casually, so it was understandable.
Signora glanced at me one last time. Then he chewed his lips, said one word, and left.
“…… I know.”
One group of Wooin hurriedly rushed over, took the ‘Pride of the Sky’ and left. The remaining ones were the puzzled-looking Knights of Pevonius and the priests of the cathedral. And even the onlookers who were staring at me blankly, not knowing what was happening.
I finally burst out laughing and shook the dust off my clothes. To be honest, it was pure luck. To beat someone like Signora.
I was lucky and had an ability that even the Signora could not identify. If I were on equal footing with her signora, it would have been difficult to even compete with her.
But in the end, I won. Needless to say, it was a complete victory. I protected Mond, and this would serve as an opportunity for my clan to take deeper roots.
Finally, I decided to leave a heartfelt greeting to the first enemy I encountered on the continent of Tivat.
“…… “Get out of Mond quickly.”
That was my farewell message to Signora at Mond.
***
Mond was in turmoil. The source of the rumor was Siwoo. He negotiated with the executioner of the Wooindan in the square, and in the end he won. The executioner of the Wooindan looked nervous the whole time, and Siwoo was calm and relaxed. And the fact that the executioner who was threatening Si-woo eventually turned around and went away.
It was an incredible rumor. Who are the executives of the Wooindan? They were monsters who were given power by God, and they were gangsters from the Tivat continent who were equipped with both the military power of the Wooindan and the capital power of the Northern Bank. How could an ordinary person with no power negotiate against such a being one on one and win?
However, Wooindan was already preparing to withdraw from Mond. Prices, which had skyrocketed due to the Wooindan’s control over the supply chain, were returning to normal, and it was widely said that the Knights of Pebonius would award Siwoo the honorary title of ‘Financial Advisor of the Knights of Pebonius’ in honor of his contributions.
The citizens of Mond cheered. Who is Wooindan? They have been trying to control Mond since ancient times using all kinds of means. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t escape their grasp, and one of the Mond’s former peddlers forced them to withdraw from Mond. It was unclear what the heck he had done, but to the public, only the result was always important.
In the meantime, the tragic news that a new divine object from God Barbatos had flowed into the Uindan was also soon forgotten in people’s minds. Naturally, the image of the top run by Siwoo also became more positive. Now, anyone can see that Siwoo is on a path to success where he can no longer fail.
But behind the scenes, there were sacrifices that the public did not know about. Mona was climbing the stairs thinking that. This place, now familiar, was Siwoo’s lodgings. After the building at the top burned down, Siwoo’s office eventually returned to his lodgings.
Mona stood in front of Siwoo’s door. “Whoa,” She said, taking a deep breath and composing herself. And she was smart, and knocked on the door. A pleasant low voice was heard saying, ‘Please come in.’ Mona felt her heart tremble again at the sound of her voice. It wasn’t worth it for her to calm down.
Sigh, the door opened. Siwoo was there. Siwoo was struggling with documents at a desk in a corner of the room. Then, as soon as he noticed her Mona’s presence, he turned his chair to look at her Mona. A joy that could not be hidden appeared on his face.
“Mona! “It’s been a while, how many days has it been since then?”
“…… “How did you do it?”
Siwoo’s face became confused at Mona’s randomly asked question. Is this the same person who brought Signora into submission through negotiation? Mona had a question in her mind, but it wasn’t important, so she asked again.
“How can there be two ‘Pride of the Sky’? You used it all that night. “Whether it is a good that can summon an object.”
Siwoo looked at Mona without saying anything, but then he burst out laughing. He scratched his head.
“Did you guess that far already? That’s right, I used it then.”
“First of all, it seems correct that you used that power to summon the second ‘Pride of the Sky’.”
Hmm, Siwoo looked into space as if thinking for a moment. Not sure how to explain it, he tapped his fingers on the desk next to him and slowly opened his mouth.
“Mona, there is actually a connection between the world I originally came from and this world. “If you use the goods from my world, you can obtain goods that can summon objects from this world.”
“…… “That’s it.”
As soon as Mona heard Siwoo’s words, something in her came to mind. That’s what Siwoo was always thinking about.
“Something that connects your world and the continent of Tivat that you found.”
“Yes, that’s right…” I don’t know why, but the account I was using in that world was connected. “I don’t know the principle.”
Then Siwoo was silent for a moment. His face looked a little bitter and lonely. Mona felt like her heart was being squeezed just by looking at Siwoo like that.
“Actually, I was thinking about it. I felt like once I started using it, it would go out of control. So, if I chose one of the two, I was going to write it then… ….”
“…… “Are you okay?”
Siwoo flinched at Mona’s question. Mona looked at Siwoo with complicated eyes. She thought about the first time she met Siwoo.
He was a suspicious person. She did her favors for no reason, and yet she said she did not believe in fate. The honorary knights of the Knights of Phoebonius, who were said to be his colleagues, had fallen from this world and had no fate in sight, and among the fates he had glimpsed, there were many women.
So I was on guard. She avoided him, and she tried her best not to be swayed by his words. But at some point, yes. That day, the moment she saw his face on the dining room table, Mona’s guard began to fall.
She was a lonely person. He was kind and did not show that he was having a hard time with others, but his worries and loneliness were deeper than others. Mona sympathized with Siwoo at first. Because it was a feeling similar to the loneliness that an astrologer who sees fate must have.
The moment an astrologer glimpses someone’s fate, he becomes caught up in that fate. That’s why he had to keep his distance from people as much as possible. Mona had kept it as an iron rule, and even though she thought it was inevitable, she always felt lonely in a corner of her heart.
That was the face of Siwoo I saw that day. The lonely face of someone left alone. So she Mona shared her story with him. The more we talked, the deeper he became. She was considerate, and before she knew it, she was enjoying talking with him so much that she started flirting with him and waiting for the right time to share her pranks with him.
Still, I knew it. How much Siwoo misses his world. He survived tenaciously after the death of his parents. He didn’t care about anything, he said. So it will be money saved. Now, I am ready to go back to college and find a new dream.
“That’s money that was saved with great difficulty. “You said that when you go back, it’s the money you need to pursue your dream.”
“…… “Not to that extent.”

Siwoo concluded the story with a sigh. He seemed to be unable to hide his mixed feelings, as he leaned against the backrest and looked up at the ceiling.
“No kidding, it was expensive… ‘Pride of the Sky’. Since it’s random, just because the highest grade comes out doesn’t necessarily mean it will happen. “I don’t even know how much money I burned pulling that out.”
But whatever, Si-Woo burst out in a sad laugh. He bent his upper body again and looked at Mona.
“I’m in business. If you’re going to sell it, you have to sell it expensively. Now was that moment. “I sell the life I have accumulated in my world and live a life on the Tivat continent.”
Then Siwoo shrugged his shoulders. The attitude was that nothing was wrong. But it wouldn’t be that simple, she thought.
“Not bad, right? Oh, and Mona. “I have a gift for you.”
At the same time, Siwoo took out something. What he took out was a light green book. An object with platinum-colored decorations surrounding the edges and pure white wings.
The magic power flowing out from within it showed that it was something that those engaged in magic would not want to desire. It was a legal instrument. It is also the best product among them.
Siwoo huffed and threw the ball. Mona, who was mesmerized, guided the Buddhist ball with magical power as if it were instinct. Suddenly, the ball began to rotate above her outstretched hand. Her magic circulated and awakened Mona’s mind. This refreshing feeling of the wind passing by.
Regardless of her clear mind, Mona looked at Siwoo with her blank eyes. Siwoo had a somewhat mischievous smile on his face.
“That came out while pulling out ‘Pride of the Sky’. The name is ‘Scroll of the Sky’. As soon as I saw it, I thought of you. “How do you think, it’s not bad for the price you worked hard all night long?”
Mona closed her mouth. She wasn’t bad, she wasn’t up to par. Not long ago, Wooindan bought a similar item for 800 million mora. Even if Mona saved all her money for the rest of her life, obtaining such legal aid would have been far from possible. Still, Mona felt like something was making her cry.
I was angry. Why at this timing? An unknown emotion surged into Mona’s uvula. Mona asked anxiously.
“…… Why?”
Siwoo just looked at Mona as if asking what she was talking about. Mona gritted her teeth. She then glared at Siwoo.
“I told you it was a business, that you had to sell it at a high price. You can sell this for a few hundred million mora, but why are you gifting it to me? ….”
“Because you are part of my life.”
Mona took in her breath. It felt like her heart stopped. He must be crazy, Si-woo is a man who spits things like that without any hesitation. Even just now, his tone was calm. But why does Mona have to be like this? Because I can’t figure it out.
Mona stared at Siwoo with a surprised expression. She seemed ready to hiccup if left alone. Nevertheless, Siwoo just continued speaking calmly. It was a natural tone of voice.
“The reason I gave up what I had gathered in my world was to live a life on the continent of Tivat. Not to make money. So, of course I have to give it to you as a gift.”
Then Siwoo shrugged her shoulders. He didn’t know if he knew Mona’s fluctuating feelings, but he started joking.
“Well, even so, the money I saved is money that can be saved if I work for a few years. Even if I go back, life is long, so everything will work out… “Isn’t that a cheap price to pay for changing your destiny?”
It was only then that Mona realized that mischievous smile. Name this overwhelming feeling.
“…… No.”
“?”
Siwoo tilted his head at Mona’s quiet voice. Did I make some mistake? However, no matter how much I thought about it, I received praise when I received it, and it seemed like I had done nothing wrong.
However, the moment Mona raised her head, Siwoo was unable to say anything.
Her eyes were red. It felt like the moist eyes were penetrating Siwoo’s heart. Mona’s pale green jade eyes were reflecting his appearance as if they were fluttering.
“I changed fate, no!”
Mona said that and pointed a point at Siwoo. In response to Mona’s incomprehensible anger, Siwoo only flinched at her with a dazed look on his face. Each time Mona spoke one word, she gradually got closer to Siwoo.
“You just said you changed your fate, right? Too bad you never changed your fate! I told you, the building was on fire! “So the building didn’t burn down?!”
“…… Well, that’s not true.”
Siwoo answered that in an embarrassed voice. Mona’s anger still seemed to have not resolved. She was now at close range with Si-woo, and was aiming her index finger at Si-woo’s face. Mona and Siwoo’s faces became so close that they seemed to overlap at any moment.
Yes, even Siwoo cannot change fate. There was a fate that no one could change.
“Listen carefully. You can’t change it, you can’t go against it, you have no choice but to accept it, it’s fate! So fate doesn’t change no matter what you do. Okay?!”
“Uh, that’s right…” You’re right… ….”
At that point, Mona caught her breath. Her heart was pounding and she could not calm down.
She thought she could deny it until now. I was afraid to define what this feeling was, even though deep down I knew it wasn’t.
Because it was my first time. So, I was scared. At that moment, she thought that the relationship she had built up might be falling apart, and the thought of her being rejected by Si-woo was enough to suffocate her and make her heart ache.
Nevertheless, fate was fate. You can’t change it, you can’t go against it, you have no choice but to accept it. So it was fate, Mona thought, repeating those words to herself.
Yes, there was one fate that Siwoo could not change.
“And there is one more fate you couldn’t change… ….”
Siwoo cast a questioning look at Mona. Speaking of fate, there was only one prophecy Mona made so far. And the moment his and Mona’s eyes met,
The warmth of a woman that hits you with a sigh. Dark blue hair resembling the night sky blocked my view like a curtain. Next is the sensation of your skin tickling, and then the feeling of something touching your lips.
Si-woo’s breath was taken away by the tickling pleasure that was soft and fluffy, yet uncertain. Before she knew it, Mona was holding his face with both hands, pulling him closer and pressing her lips against hers.
Our breaths mix with each other. That fragrant, sweet smell lasted only a few seconds, but Siwoo felt like he was suffocating. Mona’s breath is so sweet.
“…… “Siwoo.”
For what seemed like a few seconds, after our lips parted, Mona called his name like that. Her first glimpse of fate, yes. It was just as I saw it then.
Mona was blushing her face. And with the woman’s sorrowful eyes looking at the man she adored, it was now time for destiny to come true.
Mona declared right away. It was a quick follow-up hit, as if he wasn’t going to give Siwoo even a chance to escape.
“Anyway, I think I’ve come to like you.”
Tonight, the astrologer’s destiny comes true.
