“I might be late today, so I’ll ask you to take care of Rai. Leo will be back from his walk soon, so just take care of him until then.”
I asked Jeong Da-jeong as I held the cub that was trying to cling to .
Jeong Da-jeong yawned as she received the cub.
“I understand. But isn’t it too busy? I don’t know if this is alternative service or sothing. I don’t think I’d be this busy even if I were in the military.”
“We’re doing the sa service anyway, so why bother? And what’s the point of yawning like that? You quit the company.”
At first, they said things would get a little easier once a major event at the ga company ended, but that damn company shows no sign of getting any quieter.
I don’t know what’s so great about cyber play that they’re making such a fuss about it. If it’s about catching monsters, it’s possible in real life now.
“You can’t compare us. All I do is tap on the computer, and you’re soone who fights with your life at stake.”
“Not being able to co ho for a few days and working overti is a life-threatening workload, right? Report it to the Ministry of Labor. It’s been a while since I’ve worked over 52 hours a week.”
“Yeah, there is a law like that, but if I do that, I’ll be kicked out of this industry... ... But you really have to go, Da-on?”
Jeong Da-jeong said in a voice that was just as grumbling as Rai.
“I got caught up in a dungeon break a few days ago, and now you’re asking to clear a dungeon. How can you make people do this? Han Jae-young, that guy’s first impression was not good.”
Oh, I wonder what Han Jae-young’s expression would be if he heard this.
Actually, Han Jae-young would feel wronged.
I’ve already made excuses for Han Jae-young and stayed out overnight dozens of tis, but it’s never actually been because of Han Jae-young’s request.
‘But this is the easiest.’
I can’t honestly tell Jung Da-jung that I might be late because I have to go catch the Orbis’s limbs that ca to {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Korea.
If I did, Jung Da-jung, who just got off work yesterday and just woke up after getting so sleep, might faint while standing up.
It’s better for Han Jae-young to just get scolded.
Han Jae-young will probably not notice and just let it go, so in the end, a world where no one gets hurt will be completed.
“Kkiyaang! Kkiyaang!”
In the anti, the lion cub, who started whining and running a nose, hit Jung Da-jung’s arm with its thick forepaw. It ant to let go of it right away.
Jung Da-jung hugged Rai tightly and comforted him.
“Look, even if you like , you’re really sulking. Oh my, who do you take after to not listen to like this? Huh?”
“Why are you talking while looking at ?”
I have been very obedient since I beca conscious.
Rather, the problem was that the daycare teachers who were so obedient that they felt bad for were reluctant to feed .
“And since they don’t need to eat, stop feeding them.”
Basically, my subordinates don’t need to supplent their nutrition in the form of food.
If they just replenish their magic power, there’s no problem in continuing their lives.
Of course, Leona Robo sotis craves human food out of curiosity.
But that’s only once or twice, and since she knows it’s just embarrassing, she doesn’t really ask for it these days.
However, in the case of Rai, when she saw and Jeong Da-jeong eating, she would whine the whole ti because she had to take a bite from .
It wasn’t because she was curious about real food, but because she was trying to get attention, so I ignored her...
Jeong Da-jeong couldn’t ignore it, so she would always give her a spoonful.
Thanks to that, the baby lion’s belly bulged out.
Clearly, I had created the king of beasts, the beautiful white lion... ... A baby lion with a bulging belly.
No matter how much I promised myself to endure my immaturity, it had to be quite ugly.
“Ppeuung... ... .”
Rai noticed my displeased gaze and was startled, and dug into Jeong Da-jeong’s arms.
Jeong Da-jeong’s mouth fell open at the sight of her cute aegyo.
“You’re so cute, so what if you gain so weight? You’d still be cute even if you gained weight?”
“Don’t whine, and if you tell not to give it to you, don’t give it to .”
“Hey, let this go. In fact, it’s the first ti that one of your summons follows , so it’s amazing.”
It was amazing, though.
Jeong Da-jeong rubbed the body of the baby lion that was wrapped in her arms against her face.
“Ah, it’s healing... ... I like animals... ... .”
Seeing that, I... ... couldn’t hide my feelings and muttered.
“... ... It’s disgusting.”
Even though they are now treated as separate living beings from , my followers are basically a part of my emotions and a piece of my soul.
Seeing my brother rubbing his face against that incarnation of my soul made feel a physiological aversion. It’s disgusting.
When Leo and Robo didn’t follow Jeong Da-jeong, that was worriso in itself, but now that they follow him too much, it’s disgusting... ...
“Hey, what do you an by being disgusting to ? Are you being rude to , huh? You love our Da-on so much... ... Ugh!”
Ugh!
“You’re really saying disgusting things.”
I love Jeong Da-jeong as my blood relative, but I can’t possibly listen to such nonsense.
Jung Da-jeong, who had been hit once, laughed heartily while rubbing her shin that had been kicked.
“Still, it’s good that our Da-on is healthy. Now, dungeon breaks are nothing special. She helps others too. She’s all grown up, all grown up.”
“My height stopped growing in my third year of middle school, so this is a new story.”
“... ... Da-on, did you take the MBTI test? Don’t lie and say you’re normal.”
“Oh, I did.”
In fact, not only Jung Da-jeong, but also Lee Pyeong-hwa and Shin Ji-eum were making a fuss about taking the MBTI test, so I looked it up.
In fact, it’s not a test that’s particularly reliable in the field of psychology, but humans are really... ...
They really like to categorize things flatly to a level that they can understand without even thinking about understanding the essence.
In the first place, how could you get an objective evaluation if you took the test yourself?
Wouldn’t you naturally choose the person you want to be?
It's so pathetic. If you want to understand a creature called a human, you should try to increase your own thinking ability... ... .
"Huh, really? What did you get?"
And one of those pathetic humans, Jeong Da-jeong, asked with sparkling eyes. I answered confidently.
"ENFP."
Jeong Da-jeong almost fainted with her eyes open.
"... ... How can you lie so easily without blinking?! You only combined things that would never co out!"
"Lies? I never lie. I always tell the truth."
"That statent itself is a lie!"
"Then what did you think?"
"At least I'm not an ENFP! I'm an ENFP!"
"Then you must be the opposite."
"That's why I said that's not how you do it... ... . AHH!"
Jeong Da-jeong scread as they were talking. It seems that Rai, who was poking Jeong Da-jeong's cheek, missed his aim and stabbed her eye.
Jeong Da-jeong instinctively covered her eye.
I was surprised and approached her.
"Are you okay? Your eye wasn't scratched by the claw, was it?"
Even though Rai is currently in the form of a lion cub and is not as good as a cat, he is still a monster.
Since his claws are much stronger than a real lion's, if his eyeball was damaged, he would have to use healing magic right away.
"Jeong Da-jeong, are you okay?"
Bla!
"Ppyak!"
Rai jumped from Jeong Da-jeong's arms in surprise and fell to the floor, and Jeong Da-jeong raised her head while covering her eyes.
She covered her eye area, perhaps because she didn't want to show her wound, but tears were streaming down her face.
"... ... Are you okay? Move your hand away. It doesn't seem to be bleeding."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay... ... I guess it just brushed against her a little and made her cry. Oh my, you’re so ugly.”
“I told you to put your hands away and show before you get really ugly.”
I grabbed Jung Da-jung’s hand and threatened her. But Jung Da-jung stubbornly refused to let touch her.
“It’s okay, the lens is spinning and she’s just crying a little. I’m not hurt, don’t worry about it.”
“Lens?”
Oh, co to think of it,
Jung Da-jung said her eyesight has gotten worse recently and she used to wear glasses or contact lenses to work.
As soon as she got ho yesterday, she almost fainted and fell asleep without taking her lenses out. That’s why the lenses spun on Rai’s back and she’s crying like that.
Anyway, it’s fortunate that she wasn’t hurt... ... .
“If that’s the case, then just keep crying.”
I thought she was seriously hurt and my heart almost sank.
Of course, if your eyeballs were really injured, I would pull out the monster’s eyeballs and transplant them.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
“Hey, what do you an, you’re nagging at oppa... ... No, but you said you had to leave quickly. Is the ti okay? It seems like you keep getting calls.”
At those words, I looked at the clock on my phone.
The ti was displayed along with several missed calls.
‘Tsk.’
It seed like I didn’t have the luxury of wasting any more ti talking to Jeong Da-jeong.
I clicked my tongue and got up from my seat.
“Then I’ll be back. Don’t wait up and go to sleep.”
“Okay. Be careful.”
Jeong Da-jeong waved at with tears streaming down her face, unable to open her eyes.
And just before turning away, I checked Jeong Da-jeong’s soul once.
You could say it was the devil’s characteristic suspiciousness.
However, despite my suspicions, Jeong Da-jeong’s soul reflected in my eyes was still the sa.
It’s the sa soul of my blood relative that I’ve seen for over 20 years.
“Huh? You said it was late. Why are you standing there?”
Behind her affectionately smiling face, a transparent and honest human soul shines.
Kind, a little timid, and sotis cowardly... ... but still the Jeong Da-jeong I know.
That Jeong Da-jeong still sees as her younger sister.
As if it doesn’t matter how much the news talks about my activities as an S-class hunter. She just says that I’m amazing for saving hundreds of people.
I impulsively asked.
“Oppa, I have a question.”
“Huh? What is it?”
“If you’re human, you have to keep your promises, right?”
“Oh, I guess so?”
I laughed.
“Okay, I’ll be back.”
Then, I guess I should still remain human.
Thump, the front door closed.
The system’s warning ssage appeared right in front of my face.
-The ‘Good deeds will bring blessings¿’ quest is in progress.
I kept ignoring the warning ssage, so this is what I did.
And now that I couldn’t ignore the vibration of my cell phone in my pocket, which I had been ignoring while talking to Jeong Da-jeong.
I took my cell phone out of my pocket, thinking that Jeong Da-jeong might be watching, so I thought I’d walk to a nearby bus stop.
-Ah, now I got it.
A low voice ca over the phone.
-I think I need to explain this situation a bit, Your Highness the Princess.
I gave Yu Han-ul a short warning.
“Don’t call that, I’ll kill you, the system’s protection and the scapegoat.”
Yu Han-ul laughed softly. It’s been a long ti since we last spoke, but I’m really annoyed.
-Yeah, I'm in a hurry, so I'll just call you whatever cos to mind. Habits are scary.
"You like habits. Should I beat you up so that you really get used to it?"
If you're going to bring up the fact that you once served as a knight under , I'm willing to beat you up like that.
It's not like it's impossible with my current specs.
-Please bear with that... ... Anyway, I really need an explanation.
I glared at the system ssage floating in the air as I walked.
No, is this what you're going to do to the warrior every ti sothing happens?
"You need to explain what needs explaining."
- Don't pretend not to know. You said you gave the soul core to the hunter right before it breaks. The system keeps warning that if you leave it alone, a dungeon break will occur soon.
Now, pretending not to know won't work.
Yoo Han-ul asked.
-Whose soul core is it?
“If you’ve seen the news, you’ll probably have guessed.”
Since I recalled all of Yoo Han-ul’s mories from his past life, there was no need to hide it, so I spoke honestly.
“It’s Lee Woon-gyeol. Orbis’s breath touched it.”
This short explanation would suffice.
After a brief silence, Yoo Han-ul sighed.
- Lee Woon-gyeol’s soul core... ... Nam Sung-hee broke Lee Woon-gyeol’s soul core and caused the dungeon break. But why is the soul core still there?
The system must have told how much I knew without even being there.
I answered honestly, even though I wished that the warrior who was biased by the system would die.
“The human soul is inherently shabby.”
If things were as they were, Lee Woon-gyeol’s soul should have been completely broken at the point when the dungeon break occurred... but there was one variable.
“Foolishly, I had too many resentnts.”
The human soul sotis leaves its remnants in the world.
Lee Woon-gyeol's feelings were like that.
Lee Woon-gyeol had a hard ti believing that Nam Sung-hee killed him until the very end.
Aside from the fact that Lee Woon-gyeol was human trash, his longing for his mother's affection... ... was not exactly a lie.
As much as he wanted to take revenge on his mother who did not look after him, his remaining resentnt was also sincere.
Perhaps Lee Woon-gyeol had wanted Nam Sung-hee to look after him until the very mont he made a deal with .
He was so pitiful.
He died longing for the love of a guardian who would never love him.
'I told you that a vengeful spirit almost followed Han Jae-young.'
I did not sprinkle salt on Han Jae-young for nothing.
Lee Woon-gyeol's soul, which had lingering attachnt to the world, wandered around here and there, following those he had a connection with, even though his soul core was broken.
Because he wanted to fulfill the wish he had not yet fulfilled.
Of course, since there was no core, rather than having a proper will, it was just wandering around aimlessly... ...
“And I only temporarily transford that wandering soul into a core.”
-... ... For what?
“I made a deal with Lee Woon-gyeol.”
Lee Woon-gyeol’s body died, but the promise I made still lived on.
Just as much as his resentnt lived on.
“Yoo Han-ul, I already made a promise. I was a tyrant, but I’m not a devil who breaks promises. I can’t make it a lie.”
I declared.
“So I’m going to use that soul core to cause a dungeon break and tear the souls of the two humans apart.”
