#74. The three of us can do it.
Monday morning.
I was very nervous.
Woohoo… First sign. I had no choice but to meet Yoon Ha-rin in the morning.
I slowly climbed the stairs with steps that seemed 10 times heavier than usual.
The hallway where our class is located.
I took a deep breath even though I hadn’t even arrived at the classroom yet.
The moment you took a deep breath and turned your body.
A familiar voice called to me.
“…Choi Inwook.”
Ah… Why do I hear the voice of No. 2?
I wanted to meet her for the last time as much as possible…
When she turned her head to the direction of her voice, she was standing there with a familiar but unfamiliar visual.
“…You Shihwa?”
“Why are you calling me by my last name? It’s embarrassing.”
When I saw Sihwa with her arms crossed with a fresh expression, I had no choice but to close my eyes like a crucian carp.
Is this called cognitive dissonance?
There is a possibility that you may be looking at something in vain because you are not awake, so I rubbed my eyes once more.
Sihwa’s hair color is…
He had platinum hair.
And what made this scene even more bizarre is the woman standing next to her with her arms crossed.
She should have been the first thing I encountered as she was originally scheduled. Because she was Harin.
“How about it. Inwook-ah, isn’t Sihwa pretty?”
Harin smiled broadly and asked me.
“Uh… Uh! It suits you well.”
Actually, Sihwa’s blonde hair suits her very well.
Slender body and white skin.
The poem, which was dyed with platinum blonde hair, looked like a princess from a Western fairy tale.
“Look. What did I say? I said you’d like it.”
Harin grows tall while covering her mouth.
Sihwa once again asked if my reaction was questionable.
“…Tell me a little more specifically.”
Sihwa looked at me to see if my reaction was unsatisfactory.
“…Uh, it looks like your original hair color suits you well. It’s pretty.”
After Sihwa heard her saying that she was pretty, she turned her gaze away from Harin.
“…I’ll be back later.”
After leaving her words, Sihwa went back to her class as soon as her class started.
Me and Harin left behind.
“I… Harin-ah.”
“Huh?”
I was really, really curious, so I wanted to ask.
“You. How are you with Sihwa…”
Water and oil. Light and darkness.
She thought that eternity was an antagonism at both ends that could not be touched.
But a while ago, the two were like…
He appeared in front of me like an old friend.
“…I’ll tell you later, since class starts.”
When I entered the classroom, Lee Ji-eun was sleeping in the seat next to me.
“Hey, class starts.”
When I tapped her desk a couple of times, she was startled and made a strange noise.
“Takoyaki!”
…Yes. You gave me takoyaki and it disappeared.
I remembered that the takoyaki had cooled down when she was kidnapped a few days ago.
“Hmm, thank you for waking me up.”
“Did you not sleep well?”
“It’s not like that… I was having a weird dream.”
“A strange dream?”
Lee Ji-eun looked at me with a subtle expression.
“Well… The teacher also appears briefly.”
…I’m strangely concerned.
“What kind of dream is it?”
“Really, really. It’s just a dream, so do you hear it? Just a dream represents the unconscious desire. Don’t say things like that. You understand?”
I had a grand dream, and I wanted to talk about it so far, but I was curious about the contents, so I nodded my head.
“I’m… To Mr. Inwook…”
Lee Ji-eun’s face, who was wiggling her fingers, turned slightly red.
“I kissed you!”
…Look at this. It’s not a dream, it seems to be your memory?
When her I looked at her tremblingly, Lee Ji-eun looked at me with her face.
“Ah. I knew it would be like this, so I said I didn’t want to talk about it.”
Lee Ji-eun pouted her mouth and whined.
“Look at this. I’m the only one who thinks I like her and is mistaken, right?”
I laughed out loud because it was ridiculous.
“No, it’s just a dream. It’s a dog’s dream too. What are you kissing me? Kissing.”
When I said this, Lee Ji-eun narrowed her brow.
“What’s the reaction to that?”
“Why. A dream is only a dream.”
“No. Why are you talking like you’re in a bad mood?”
Because it actually happened in real life, and I’m in a very difficult situation right now.
“Isn’t it an honor to actually be able to kiss a beautiful girl like me?”
Besides you, I’ve already been married to pretty people. That too three times.
“I’m full. Very.”
“Think as you like.”
I decided to block all her words, so I took a class.
As soon as the homeroom teacher came in, he left the academy and talked about handling the case in which Lee Ji-eun was involved.
“Ha… There was a talk at the meeting that the academy had insufficient security for this accident.”
“Where exactly is the route they invaded. They say they are still investigating because they haven’t been able to find out exactly who they sent to cause such an accident.”
“Especially Ji-eun and In-wook, the academy seems to call and compensate them separately, so let’s talk about it separately.”
He started talking about Sulwhagyo in earnest.
“This pseudonym called Sulwhagyo has appeared since the Yangjae Magic Tool Workshop incident. I think it would be good for all of you to be careful.”
“It turned out that this academy was also their work, but the things they do are very evil. Evil.”
“These days, aspiring hunters and low-ranking hunters are disappearing, but there are rumors circulating that it is probably their work.”
“So you too, be careful and attend classes so that you can protect yourself by yourself.”
I’m in the teacher’s position, so I’ll say that, but honestly, I thought it would be difficult to deal with their methods with the classes I’m taking here.
Because the Academy’s education was specialized in dealing with monsters.
Fighting guys with low intelligence or inability to learn and dealing with humans who use stupid numbers were completely different things.
I thought that it would be possible to deal with it only when a little more practical experience was accumulated.
In that context, the author…
I looked at her face looking at the blackboard with a blank expression from the side.
I have to nurture him somehow.
Her presumably her two failed attempts to kill her, so it was clear that she was a fairly high priority among the sulwhasoo’s targets.
It would be easier in many ways if I got out of this impatience quickly too…
I felt the magic slowly returning, but it was too slow.
In this case, it was not enough to use the weapon obtained from the dungeon that was entered with Sihwa.
Perhaps I had drained all of my magic power to the sword.
I wish there was a way…
Ezion’s treatment method was not known until I died in my previous life.
It does not exist even after 10 years, so there is a high probability that there will be no more answer now.
After I skipped the theory class, lunch time came.
As soon as the bell rang, Harin started talking to me.
“Inwook-ah, can I talk for a moment?”
Do you want to hear the answer to the confession?
Or an explanation of what happened at the tavern that day?
Either way, there was no change that it was an uncomfortable conversation.
“Okay.”
In an empty classroom after everyone is leaving for lunch.
There were only two people left, me and Harin.
“Inwook-ah.”
Harin’s voice was calm and she seemed to have prepared her speech.
“I had a good conversation with Yoo Shihwa.”
…Is that possible?
Is that possible?
If I didn’t know that they had returned and just mistakenly thought it was a different world line, this story would have made sense.
“…Did Sihwa forgave you?”
Harin nods her head without saying a word.
“You were very disappointed with me. I know. Inuk-ah.”
“So… I went to Yu Shi-hwa and sincerely apologized. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”
“And, fortunately, Sihwa accepted my apology.”
Certainly, what I saw in the morning was only a fantasy unless Harin was right.
I’ve seen two people collide several times already.
Like a roaring dragon and a tiger, the two were anxious to eat each other.
“Instead, I helped a little with poetry. After all, you can’t go barefoot after doing something like that.”
“…So, did you recommend Shihwa to dye it?”
I thought it was pretty, but I was curious as to why the color was forced.
“Yes. You like that style.”
“When am I?”
Harin laughed.
“Really?”
You mean it wasn’t just baseless?
I can’t remember well.
And when I was with Harin, there was no way I could compliment a blonde woman or say she was pretty.
At that time, I only thought that Harin was the best woman.
“SDDB-275”
Her alphabet came out one by one from Harin’s mouth.
“You… How do you…”
“Who foolishly locks the computer for their birthday?”
“I’m not that slender, so I couldn’t do it to you, but I thought it would be possible with Sihwa.”
Harin smiled brightly.
“If it’s okay with you, we can do it in three people like in the video.”
Harin got up from her seat and whispered in my ear.
“How about it. Don’t you think? I also talked to Sihwa.”
…I couldn’t close my open mouth well.
