321 – That’s a secret (complete)
Suddenly.
I remembered the moment when this all started.
That day was probably the weekend.
At that time, my brain ordered me to stay indoors all weekend as compensation for the mental and physical fatigue caused by being busy at work during the week.
Just like any other weekend.
The morning of the first day of the weekend.
Everyone in the world probably knows this feeling, but you can’t be that happy when you wake up.
There is no alarm sound that tells you to wake up right away and wash your greasy hair and face. There is no schedule related to work that is already tiring your mind.
Put your upper body back into the bed.
I had already slept so much that my rest gauge was full, but it didn’t matter.
Me? I am a person who rests today and rests again tomorrow.
The only thing left is time to rest.
That’s how I enjoy the ultimate luxury of lying in bed and lounging around even though my rest gauge is full.
When he gets tired of lounging around, he stretches his hands to the sides and starts flailing.
Then my roommate offers me his hand.
Around this time on weekdays, he is a cold and boring friend who only wants to get up early and tell me to go to work or go out, but on weekends, he is the friend I have the most fun with out of all of my connections.
His name is Smartphone.
I accepted his hand and jumped into the world of the Internet.
It is a magical time.
Time deletion magic.
With the help of great assistants such as YouTube and the community, the magic succeeds.
When I come to my senses, it is already afternoon.
After checking the time, I mumble absently.
What should I eat?
The body finally crawls out of the bed.
I head straight to the kitchen and carefully check the inside of the refrigerator.
In the end, I’m going to boil and eat ramen, as if it’s a ritual that makes ramen more delicious.
Once you add the ramen water, the weekend begins in earnest.
Go and sit in front of the computer.
Just before turning on the computer, a face appears on the darkened monitor.
It’s strange. He must be happy to be resting for the weekend, but his expression is just dull.
A thought that suddenly comes to mind. Is it okay to spend my precious weekend like this?
But it’s just a thought. When the screen turns on, you naturally place your hands on the keyboard and mouse.
Then I came across a cartoon with narrow eyes.
Then I started playing a certain game.
Then, it became Ceylon, the alter ego I created.
I had a doubt.
Why did the memory of that moment suddenly come to mind at such an important moment?
At that moment, my head automatically turns.
Capture the panoramic view of the sea beneath the cliff.
The sunset covered the flowing sea.
Every time the water shakes with the waves, the sunset shatters like broken glass and shines dazzlingly.
It seemed as if the sea was burning in the sunset.
“… “
Ah. Okay. I remembered.
The reason why I suddenly remembered that time was because of this scene.
When I saw this scene, I thought it was so beautiful that it made my heart swell.
I thought it was fortunate that it ended up in Ceylon.
And then I thought.
If I had looked at this scene as my original self, not as someone from Ceylon, would I have felt the same emotion as I do now?
No.
I think it probably wasn’t possible.
I’m not that sentimental.
I would not have taken the time to come and see this sight, let alone felt as moved as I did now.
Once again, I thought it was amazing.
How did a guy like that end up saving the world and becoming a wealthy person who is praised as a hero?
Did he reach this point?
Because it became Ceylon?
Quest?
No. Different.
I remember there was a slightly more decisive moment.
Even though I was possessed by the game and became Ceylon, my goal was to complete the quest as soon as possible and return to my dull daily life.
The reason why I am now a person who feels vivid emotions while looking at this scene.
The reason I really changed.
“Ceylon?”
At that moment, I heard a voice that I never get tired of hearing.
“What are you thinking like that?”
I turned my head from the view below the cliff and looked at the owner of the voice.
“… “
I made an exclamation of exclamation without realizing it.
The amount given. Her calm expression, as usual, was colored by the sunset, creating a very different atmosphere.

Looking closely, I think it may not be entirely because of Noul.
Maybe it was because I was thinking about the past until just now, but I remembered the moment when I first met Ms. Deerin.
The expression on the sheep’s face hasn’t changed much from before or now.
, I thought. When you think about it, you can see a big difference between the two.
The first sheep I saw was as dull as a thinly frozen lake.
I described it as teasing.
Just throwing a stone slightly created a hole in the ice.
On the other hand, the amount given now does not have the same teasing taste as then.
When I tease him, he slyly responds with a pleasant response and instead counterattacks with a mischievous smile that I don’t know where he got it from.
The amount given changed.
Maybe like me.
I remember it like that.
A decisive moment that brought me to a great change and brought me to where I am today.
It was the amount given.
It was them.
I wanted to keep teasing them
I hoped that I could continue my relationship with them.
With that mindset, I always did my best.
He created a virtual group called the True Harasin and a virtual identity called the Right Hand Man.
Associating with and deceiving amazing people that I would never have seen in the first place – I accomplished something that I would never have been able to accomplish if I was content with just spending my weekends lounging around and meaninglessly.
I took a step back and took in their appearance at a glance.
The sight of them showing off dresses of different designs under the glow of the sunset was so beautiful that it made you smile.
My heart was pounding.
Like when looking at the sea at sunset.
No, more than that.
Somehow, the source of the emotion I was feeling right now did not seem to be the beautiful natural scenery.
“The amount given.”
“Miss Kasha.”
“Miss Aedrin.”
“Miss Miz.”
“Miss Whivienne.”
I looked at each of them and said their names.
And I have to continue my next sentence, but I can’t open my mouth at all.
My friends did not urge me.
He just looked at me with warm eyes.
That made my feelings stronger.
“Thanks to you all, I was able to change. Thanks to you all, I was able to come this far. As long as I have you, I will be able to go anywhere in the future. So please, everyone. Will you continue to be with me? Yes. If you do, for the rest of your life.”
So that you don’t have any regrets.
All the emotions I am feeling right now are captured in it.
“…”
That feeling reached the sheep that was offered first.
I could see the sheep’s expression changing moment by moment.
Miss Deerin’s response to my true feelings was a smile.
Very soft and-
A mischievous smile.
‘…Huh?’
Wait a minute.
Mischievous smile?
“This is surprising. Even people like Ceylon go into an emotional state when they see the sunset.”
The ominous premonition became a reality.
Even in this situation, the sheep made a mischievous face and made fun of me.
“Oh my god… I gave it to you…! Are you serious!? In this situation!?”
“Because this is the situation right now, dude.”
Next, my feelings touched Ms. Kasha.
Miss Kasha’s response to my true feelings was, of course, a smile.
Cynical and-
A mischievous smile.
“I guess he’s not just a hero, but a great hero? His aspirations are very extraordinary. Looking at him proposing to five women at the same time, he hopes to create a touching atmosphere.”
“Well, that’s…!”
“Pretend it’s an ordinary proposal. Pretend it’s an ordinary engagement ceremony. Pretend it’s an ordinary vow. There’s no way to get over it, right?”
Next, my feelings touched Ms. Aedrin.
Miss Aedrin’s response to my true feelings was, of course, a smile.
Very friendly and-
A mischievous smile.
“We’re putting up with quite a bit of this, aren’t we?”
“Idiot. I’m sorry while I’m making a face like, ‘Maybe I’m a little perfect now?’ I’m an idiot now. I got 0 points.”
“Yes!? Ms. Miz, 0 points…!?”
Next, my feelings touched Ms. Miz.
Miss Miz’s response to my true feelings was, of course, a smile.
Very bold and-
A mischievous smile.
“When you see a young lady in a dress, you get straight to the point without saying anything. Even though you don’t know how she feels, you actively don’t know.”
“That’s what I said!”
Next my feelings reached Miss Huvien.
Miss Hwivien’s response to my true feelings was, of course, a smile.
Very harsh and-
A mischievous smile.
“How come other people have said everything I wanted to say! You! What did you do so well that you act so cool!?”
“Oh, I just saw that. It was kind of cool, wasn’t it?”
“Hey, hey! We can’t just give you any space at all!? Are you just saying you were cool? Honestly, yes! You were a little cool! But, can you just be a little cool!? Look at us now!”
Miss Whivienne motioned for us to take a look at our friends.
“I woke up early this morning and sat in the same place for five hours until the afternoon and got dressed up! One by one, the ladies who would be a waste of being any man’s woman! For only one man! But you ! I’m not interested in that, I’m just drunk on my own feelings, so I confess my feelings first and see- uh- uh- eeeik…! What should I do, everyone! I’m so angry that I can’t even speak!”
Our friends could only nod their heads, saying that they completely understood Miss Whivien’s feelings.
I opened my mouth in embarrassment.
“Women, everyone! Please calm down…! The reason I didn’t discuss your beauty is simply because you were already perfectly beautiful without any need to discuss it-“
“Ah… What should I do, idiot…”
As I began my own explanation, Miss Aedrin let out a cute sigh.
“Aha~ There’s no need to discuss it, it’s because you’re already perfectly beautiful~ That really makes a lot of sense.”
Miss Kasha said sarcastically, her caustic sneer muted.
“A disappointing excuse, like looking at Bauer from the past.”
Miss Miz booed and made a noise.
“Do you think we became like this just to hear such clichéd and perfunctory compliments!?”
Miss Whivien sharpened her eyebrows and squirmed.
They slowly got closer to me.
He’s ready to push me off the cliff!
“Uh oh-“
I sent a rescue request with my eyes to the only sheep standing still.
Then the sheep gave up and crossed her arms as if showing off.
“I hope you enjoy it.”
I was completely cornered by the sheep who gave me away and cried out desperately.
“Woman…! What on earth should I do for you to forgive me…!”
Then our friends looked at each other and laughed very mischievously.
Then, with a very excited face, he put his index finger in front of his lips and spoke at the same time.
“That’s-“
