374 – [7] Precious You
#374
* * *
“Tsk, this is enough exercise, right?”
Ines Corseiro completed the workout like usual.
Although he ended up working out at home due to an emergency at the gym, there shouldn’t be any problem if he works out at home for a day or two.
He stood right in front of the mirror.
Soon, he looked around at his sweating body.
“You have to be at this level to be called a hunter.”
Efforts for a year and a half.
The effort was not in vain, and her overall body changed to a level that could be called beautiful.
And this wasn’t just a cosmetic difference.
Ines’ capabilities have also increased significantly compared to the past.
Ines, who was trembling and catching a D-class monster, no longer existed.
Now there was only Ines trembling and catching a C-class monster.
It could truly be said to be a remarkable development.
And these developments were not of extreme importance to Ines.
“Um…… “I have to grow a little more here for you to look at me.”
There is only one thing that is important to her.
It was her relationship with Kang Xian, a close acquaintance of hers.
You may be wondering if she could call her Kang Xian her acquaintance, but they had been in a relationship for almost two years since they met.
In the meantime, we meet regularly and even form a group to hang out with each other, so how can we not say that we are close acquaintances?
Crucially, the current Ines had no one she could call an acquaintance other than Kang Si-an and her friends.
Isn’t there a group of people who love her enough to be discriminated against?
Piririk─
“Oh, what is it? Are you holding a protest to support the expansion of the Yard Pound Act? Well, I guess I have no choice but to participate in this.”
She still made friends with those people.
However, when asked if she was becoming close, all she could say was no.
She just acts along with those people because that is her inclination.
It was no exaggeration to say that from the moment Kang Xian appeared, she practically stopped getting close to them.
Thanks to her, she was able to become an ordinary person who could be easily buried in a gathering of Southern people.
She has no one close to her, and even if someone tries to approach her, she just moves away.
On the other hand, her relationship with Jiang Shi An was completely opposite to his.
She was getting closer and wanted to get closer.
And Ines had the ability and foundation to do so.
If only she could get rid of his strange tendencies, she would definitely be able to get closer.
“You have to be careful not to get caught. “I’m sure they will criticize me for doing something else while training.”
Unfortunately, it meant that the dog stopped pooping.
Even though she became closer to Kang Xian, Ines’s actions of protecting her state’s rights remained the same.
It was not for no reason that in Jiang Xian’s mind, he was competing with a thousand people for the first or second place in the ranking of pathetic humans.
It was because only vague improvements were made even after two years.
Of course, in that improvements were made, it was much better than the raw past.
Even though discriminatory remarks may be made occasionally, they are not made periodically with malicious intent.
“By the way, tomorrow is the day I take the same lecture. Should I suggest that we go and have a meal at my house?”
A much more moderate attitude.
Even the delusion was something that someone that age would have experienced at least once.
“Then later, I held hands and…… Even if you hug me from behind once…… Hopefully this time…… Lol… ….”
Anyway, it was a delusion suitable for youth.
Ines blushed and shivered, grabbing the spear that lay in her corner.
It was a window filled with her humanity, given to her by her river Xian as her gift from her underground.
As soon as she grasped it, her delusion began to feel like an elusive reality.
“Okay, this time I’m going to push myself at least with my body!”
– “Fool, what are you pushing?”
Someone’s whisper heard in an empty house.
Ines was very surprised.
She urgently looked around her, but did not see anyone.
In the end, it was a normal auditory hallucination.
“Wow, am I really stressed out these days? “I keep hearing things like this.”
The reason she was not greatly embarrassed was simple.
Because it was a voice I had often heard for some time.
Ines thought it was just an auditory hallucination caused by stress.
In fact, there was no reason to hear voices other than auditory hallucinations.
She let it go, saying that even though she had forced it, she was having auditory hallucinations again.
He let go of her spear and tapped her cheeks to help her come to her senses.
Only then did her emotions subside.
It was then that she was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Knock knock.
Someone’s knock.
She rushed over, thinking it might be a delivery.
When the door opened with a squeak, she saw a person who was not a delivery person.
Ines looked happier than when the package arrived.
“You stupid Asian!”
“When are you going to give up that nickname? “It’s honestly a bit unpleasant for the listener.”
“It’s unpleasant, what a friendly, light, and good nickname it is!”
It was none other than Kang Xian who came to visit.
However, unlike usual, Kang Xian’s expression looked serious in many ways.
“Anyway, what happened? “Your expression looks a bit bad.”
“Someone was spying on our house. So that’s why I came.”
“Ah…… ? Spying…… ?”
Spying?
You mean you were spying on me?
“Who on earth?!”
Have you never done something like that before?
Ines was even more shocked than when she heard the auditory hallucination.
“The gang hates us. “I think it was done out of revenge.”
“If it’s a gang you don’t like…… Maybe in the past…….”
“Because they are the only gang members that are associated with us. “They are exactly what you think.”
“Oh my God.”
Now, I am a person whose memories are vague.
But what did they do?
First of all, this was not something to talk about here.
The victim, Kang Xian, was led to the living room.
“Things I stole when I went to the black market in the past. And after that, they said they came to the warehouse openly. Now they’ve been spying on you? “Did you catch it?”
“I came here because I caught him. Of course…… Even if we caught it, there are still many uneasy aspects.”
Kang Xian explained to her everything that had happened to her so far.
The story flowed out of Cheonma-ri’s mouth that they had a fight at the negotiation table, were caught by those who were spying on them, and eventually surrendered.
“So what about the kids who surrendered? How on earth did you handle it?”
“Once they surrendered without fighting, they just locked them up.”
“Hang?!”
Going to Kang Xian’s house and spying on him meant that he had bad thoughts.
In this case, confinement was not the issue; it should have been summarily disposed of.
‘If it were my hometown, I would have been shot dead a long time ago. ‘They just locked him up?’
At least that was the case by Ines’ standards.
She looked at Jiang Xian as if she didn’t understand who had chosen the finite approach.
“Ah, no matter what! These are the people who tried to harm you, your precious one! “Instead of letting such people live, they should be immediately tied to a cross and burned at the stake!”
“Precious you?”
In fact, Kang Xian did not properly accept her concerns.
He looked at me with a questioning look as to which statement in the middle caught his ear the most.
“Yes, yes! Everyone’s body is precious! Especially if it’s someone I know!”
“Ah…… “I also thank you for your concern.”
She could have seemed like she was making a sudden move, but she succeeded in glossing over it.
During her second year of school, she regularly made mistakes and her recovery skills improved.
“But this can’t be helped. “It is a condition of surrender to them, and we still have some information to get from them.”
“But… ….”
“I’m saying this again, I’m fine, don’t worry. “The person I’m more worried about right now is you.”
“Me? Why?”
Are you worried about yourself?
Why on earth do you find yourself in a place far removed from this incident?
“You are my acquaintance and friend.”
“W-what…” … Who is worried, what is the reason…….”
I felt like my skin was heating up at the word “Friend.”
Ines avoided her gaze as if embarrassed.
“What has done this is the drug cartel that controls the gang. And they are the ones who will do anything without hesitation.”
“Come on, let’s go out without hesitation! “At best, it’s just the non-awakened people making a fuss, so why are you so worried?”
If you were feeling anxious, she had the intention of protecting you by your side.
Although she couldn’t say it out loud, that was what Ines was thinking.
“It’s not something that can be passed off as a joke. “Those guys go on shooting sprees and commit bombings.”
“That’s happening in Arecibo? Hey, I think that went too far.”
“Just because you are my friend, you may also be targeted for spying or harm. “It’s even more so when you think about what those guys said to Cheonma-ri right now.”
Unlike her real self, her feelings inside Gangshi were very serious.
She thought that even her acquaintances other than herself might get caught up.
And the thought that one of the subjects was the main character.
No matter what attitude she showed, ensuring her safety was the top priority.
Hot!
“Huh, huh?”
In the end, after thinking about it, she grabbed both of her arms.
Ines froze under Kang Xian’s unstoppable touch.
“Ines, let me ask you one thing. “Do you mind if a bodyguard follows you around?”
“Huh?!”
“Do you want me to give you a bodyguard so you can protect yourself? “It’s okay to say no if you don’t like it.”
He grabbed both shoulders and shook them.
Her face turned red and her eyes looked into space.
“Well, that, I, I…” ….”
“Tell me honestly. “Because it’s very important.”
Her eyes are spinning, her whole body feels strange.
In the midst of all this, if you try to force yourself to make a judgment, is there any way that it will work out?
‘Me, my security? Does this mean that he will provide me with one-on-one security? What? Really?’
Thanks to this, she fell into a strange delusion.
Because it was a delusion with an irresistible temptation, Ines quickly drew a conclusion.
“My, how strong I am! “Why do you need bodyguards or something?”
And then something different from the conclusion disguised as delusion came out of my mouth.
For a few seconds, Ines thought over what she had said.
“Really? No need? Then I guess there’s nothing we can do.”

While this was happening, Kang Xian understood.
Soon, the matter was concluded as if there were no regrets.
‘Oh my…’ … A mouth worse than that of a barbaric slave!!!’
The disaster occurred in an instant, Ines screamed.
Thanks to my useless body rejecting the brain’s commands, the opportunity given by God flew to heaven.
‘My second year at the academy is coming to an end, and I’m just a nerd spinning a spider web! ‘Even if I spoon-feed you, you can’t even get a chance?!’
If God had seen this scene, he would have said it was terrible.
Ines’s feelings instantly became similar to those of the person in Munch’s The Scream.
“Ah…… Ah…… Right… ….”
I wanted to say no, that I said it wrong.
However, because I was so confused, my brain became a bottleneck, so not a single normal word came out.
“Ines, then there is another option. Would you like to hear it?”
Kang Xian didn’t know whether he knew Ines’ condition or not, but he only said what he wanted to say.
Ironically, such indifference tore Inez’s heart even more.
At least that was the case until then.
“Do you ever want to live with us?”
“Huh? What? “What on earth is that?”
“Don’t you want to live with me at my house until this is over and it’s safe? “If we live in the same place, I think we won’t have to worry about safety.”
Resentment that disappears quickly.
Ines felt grateful that a slip of a tongue came out of her mouth.
Oh my god! Living together! This was like a dream!
No, it was more than just a dream, it was something that could make one’s wish come true!
As expected, his body did not disappoint him.
It was worth the effort to grow.
“Yes! I think it would be better that way! “Let’s live together right now!”
The answer to this came out right away.
Kang Xian looked like she had heard something a little strange, but she nodded her head as if she understood anyway.
“Okay, then let’s do that. The date is—”
“I can move today!”
How dare you waste time that could be legally spying on you?
To waste such an opportunity was something worthy of being thrown into hell.
“Then, that’s how you do it.”
Kang Xian agrees.
She had succeeded in seizing an opportunity she thought was lost.
‘Ah! ‘Thank goodness God is helping me!’
In this way, Ines got one step closer to the light, and Kang Xian achieved her goal of protecting the main character.
A peaceful, safe and imperfect future.
For now, it was the completion of a world where everyone was happy.
