110 – 23. Change
…… I’m tired.
It was only after dark that I arrived at a cozy and comfortable base and threw myself into bed.
They are so persistent. He chased me for three hours, exhausted me, and returned after promising to take care of my love story.
The prince who was running away with you flinched when you mentioned your love interest.
He still has the trauma of being dumped.
Thanks to this, I had enough of running and holding my breath, so I felt like I would be forced to walk for a while.
My legs are shaking……
“Ah.”
It’s late at night, and I lie down in a space where I’m the only one and relax my body.
At the same time as fatigue, all kinds of thoughts come rushing in.
“……………….”
A lot has happened in the past few days, but in the end, the most shocking thing was Liu’s confession.
Honestly…… I didn’t know that Liu had feelings for me.
‘From the beginning, at the point when I put aphrodisiac in my food and go on a trip with just the two of me…….’
No matter how much I am a guy who has never had a girlfriend or friends, I have at least some sense.
However, there was a rare confession I made to Lane, and the female character’s likability limit was set in the game like a stereotype.
If the main character is male, even if you beat Rio or Rain’s character event and finish all events on top, it ends with ‘You’re a good friend’?
After repeating that over 20 times, I think I thought that way without even realizing it.
I have already seen enough differences between As a game and In reality.

“……………….”
…… No, but I really thought Rain liked me too. Isn’t it difficult to misunderstand when you are so friendly?
I was rejected there, so even though I knew Rio was friendly towards me, I couldn’t ask him.
As expected, Liu just confessed coolly.
However.
“You must have been considerate of me…”
After confessing, Liu smiled brightly, saying he knew he would be rejected anyway.
Honestly, as a single person from birth, if a girl like Liu confesses to me, it’s normal to say thank you and accept it.
…… In order to meet Jisoo, I had to avoid dating Rio or anyone else.
Then I can’t help but be selfish about events and other things. The road to the ‘perfect ending’ will become much more difficult.
More than anything, dating a girlfriend is dating, but compared to having only one family, it’s also like dating.
I just feel sorry for Liu.
Confessing something even though you know you’ll be rejected, and declaring that being rejected means being rejected and that I like you is something I like…… Because it was something I could never do.
When all of this is over, then──
“……Let’s finish everything and think about it. Don’t drink kimchi soup.”
The more I thought about it, the more I became conscious of it, so I put aside thoughts of Liu and remembered the prince’s words.
It was said that Kim Ha-neul and the emperor were behind Wang Fei.
‘First of all, Kim Ha-neul is always a puppet.’
Emperor, emperor.
…… As expected, I feel somewhat different from the emperor I know.
‘The emperor I knew…….’
A person who puts the country before his family and is always cold-blooded and cold-hearted. That’s about it.
In the first place, the emperor did not have a significant presence in the game.
During the character events of Kim Eun-ha and Kim Seong-il, they only showed up briefly and had no particular involvement.
Unlike Lane and Hector, who were connected through character events, Kim Eun-ha’s biggest problem was her inner ‘life’ and Kim Seong-il’s character event was just about resolving his unrequited love.
It feels like Kim Eun-ha is connected to the imperial family, and Kim Seong-il, who originally had no flaws, is solving the problem of being single since birth.
Of course, as Kim Eun-ha’s character event has changed, Kim Seong-il’s character event will also change.
‘The emperor who sees the future, Ra.’
Still, unlike Hector, who had the same personality as in the game, this opponent looks like a completely different person.
…… This Chuseok seemed like it would be a very difficult holiday.
“…Character event.”
Yes, character event.
After desperately ignoring the corner of my eye for a moment, I soon accepted reality.
It’s not Kim Eun-ha’s character event, which has been out for a while, or Kim Seong-il’s character event, which hasn’t even come out yet.
Liu Yen’s character event.
[Character Event: – Liu Yen
You have won Liu Yan’s favor, and you have already overcome a huge wave. Gaining the favor of a wealthy person is something to be praised for.
However, her doubts remain. No matter what emotions, feelings, or sentiments she has toward others, her suspicion is equal.
Probably, the great rich won’t be able to completely erase his doubts about you until the day he passes away.
Even if you find someone you love, even if you start another family, even if you trust someone for the first time, doubts that will not completely disappear and will remain.
There is a reason why Liu Yan has what can be called mental illness, which is more than just thoughts.
Look at her past.
After that, the choice is yours.
Event Goal: Find out Liu Yan’s past (this is the final goal)
Time remaining: None
Achievement reward: Reach maximum affinity with Liu Yen, access to Liu Yen’s exclusive store, acquire general skill ]
“Ha…”
This is a character event that makes you sigh the more you look at it.
It did not simply mean difficulty.
This warning message was the problem.
‘Originally, Rio’s character event was very difficult.’
There is no one particularly connected to Rio’s character event.
Just Rio and the two players are done.
So, if the difficulty of the character event is high…… Of course it was because of Rio.
‘The past is Rio’s evil.’
The childhood of Liu Yen, a world-famous billionaire, is like a taboo.
An area that no one can approach and no one should mention.
In games, there are many cases where the friendliness you had built up is reset as soon as you ask about the past.
At least after receiving this character event, you will be in a position to ask about her past.
‘Honestly, clearing it itself is impossible right now.’
In the original game, the only case where failing an event led directly to a bad ending was Rio’s character event.
A bad ending where as soon as you choose the wrong choice, your favorability rating drops to 0, and you are ‘processed’ by receiving tremendous suspicion from Liu.
Honestly, if it wasn’t for the save load, I would have been beaten a long time ago…… In fact, I protested a lot to Jisoo as well.
‘Every time Rio is like this, what should I do? ‘I just answered.’
Why is this happening, you b*tch? Stop protecting your character……
Well, anyway.
I don’t know if Liu’s past is the same as what I originally knew, but it is quite possible that Liu’s past changed at the point when the events and pasts of various characters changed.
And unlike games with save loads, this is a stark reality.
If you don’t prepare really well, you will go straight to the Nether Road.
‘On hold for now.’
It is advisable to proceed after at least obtaining more information about Rio.
For now, it would be better to stick around with Rio and ask him various questions.
‘…… Uh? Then, Liu and I might look like lovers──’
Ah.
──Such a pestilence.
Liu, stop being conscious, you stupid brain!
Rio is a friend! Friend! We just go together like we did in the first semester!
‘No, but shouldn’t we still be concerned?’
He confessed that he likes me, but hanging out with other girls means ignoring Liu.
Do I have to go with Rio? Should I reduce my meetings with Rain, the princess, and the saint?
No, but we’re not dating, right? If I were to ask, Namnam…… Please don’t think the same thing.
‘I keep thinking about it because I’m conscious of it.’
Is this how you were originally born solo? Is it because I’ve never been in a relationship?
It’s really going to spin……
…… After that, it took me over 2 hours to fall asleep.
*
The bones stand on end.
“………?”
A short break after class.
Liu, who was sitting next to Namgoong Min as always, looked at Namgoong Min, who was frozen somewhere, and then smiled like a bad boy.
Even though he is sitting next to him, he stabs Namgoong Min, who is sitting on the edge of the chair, with his finger, as if trying to get away from Liu.
Hook.
“Fuheo!?”
“Tsk, this guy is funny. Why were you so scared?”
“Ah, ah, ah, no!”
“No, bastard.”
Looking at Namgoong Min, who showed a strong reaction as expected.
Liu remembered the feel of his fingers prodding her waist.
‘It was more solid than I thought.’
Are you able to manage your physical strength despite being weak? Not bad.
To be honest, it was true that if you are muscular, you are dependable, and if you are fat, it just looks cute, so it doesn’t really matter.
It was valuable information for Liu, who kept the line(?) Of not filming any shower or bathing scenes even though he was spying on Namgoong Min and eavesdropping on him.
Of course, this is also a big harvest, but……
“Uh, um. Why are you looking at me like that?”
‘As expected.’
“It’s nothing.”
The best thing about her was that this oblivious fortune teller finally started to become aware of her.
If we had only been ‘friends’ up until now, it was clear that we now regarded them as more than friends but less than lovers.
Unlike usual, hesitant gestures and constant glances.
And even her obviously self-conscious attitude.
It was obviously Liu who confessed and Liu was the one who dumped her, but it seemed like their positions had changed.
That was what she was aiming for, so she got it right.
‘You can never escape from me now.’
Liu knows Namgoong Min well. Even though Namgoong Min didn’t say anything to her directly, she decided not to worry about that anymore.
No matter the method, I was happy and joyful just getting to know Namgoong Min.
And what Rio is sure of.
This fortune teller has become quite nice.
‘With your personality, there’s no way you wouldn’t care about a woman who confessed and then got dumped.’
If there was someone like that, I would be concerned to some extent, but it would be even more so with Namgoong Min.
If Liu was by his side, wouldn’t he be reluctant to talk to other women?
In the end, he was a person who cared about others.
In other words, unless Liu moves away from Namgoong Min first, he will at least listen to Liu’s opinion when it comes to women.
It is a perfect plan because she will never be separated from Namgoong Min in the future.
“Hey, you dropped your pencil.”
“Uh, um, ah! Is that so!”
“Pick it up quickly.”
At the same time as Namgoong Min bent his body towards the bottom of her desk at Liu’s words.
She smiled and slightly lifted the hem of her skirt.
It’s not too high, so only the thighs are visible.
Of course, it was a position where Namgoong Min could be seen very clearly if he turned his head even slightly.
“……………….”
“What’s wrong? Can’t you find it?”
Liu doesn’t know what Namgoong Min’s expression looks like under the desk. Because it is hidden and invisible.
But it was predictable enough when he stopped looking for a pencil that hadn’t fallen in the first place.
You might think she’s a b*tch, but what’s the big deal?
The person she confessed to was Namgoong Min, and even if she was cheating, she would only do that to a certain fortune teller.
It was fun to make fun of Namgoong Min, who was flustered like this.
‘Everyone is watching.’
What’s even more enjoyable is everyone’s attention.
A warrior and a saint who seem to be shedding tears of blood.
The prince and Lucas are shocked as if they are still not used to it.
A princess with very complex eyes.
And.
“……………….”
Dduduk.
With his eyes losing focus, even Raine breaks the pencil in his hand with his grip.
Because the different perspectives are just fun and enjoyable.
Liu giggled and laughed.
It’s been so long since she herself forgot…… It was pure laughter.

“……………….”
“This is a good report, Your Majesty.”
“……………….”
“…Your Majesty?”
“……………….”
“Your Majesty, even if there are things you don’t like──”
“──Be quiet, Your Majesty is in trouble.”
“Now, Minister.”
“This is His Majesty’s presence. Even if this is an unofficial event, please remain quiet until His Majesty finishes his thoughts.”
“…Yes.”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“……Ha, I see.”
“Your Majesty?”
“Your Majesty, have you finished thinking?”
“Okay… It’s over.”
“Then…”
“On the first day of Chuseok, a fortune teller will come with the prince.”
“Yes.”
“Catch him and kill him. There’s no need to think about cleaning up after him, so just drag him in and kill him. You don’t have to choose any means, but just drag him to the basement of the castle and kill him.”
“I follow your orders.”
“I follow your orders.”
“Okay…Go out.”
Trudge, trudge, trudge.
Squeak.
Thump.
“……Fortune teller.”
──Please blame me.
