Chapter 170 Yerim
Two baby unicorns hid behind the training dolls as soon as Yoohyun and Yerim appeared, and their gazes were weary. I did not know whether it was class or characteristic, but they were really sensitive.
“Hey, you two, co here.”
They slowly approached and chewed on my clothes as they stuck clothes to . I threw many shirts this way.
“I want to move, too!”
The unicorns flinched again at Yerim’s shout.
“Him going alone is unfair!”
“He’s my brother, and we did live together before.”
Yoohyun had left ho for only three years, and if things had gone the usual course, we would have been still living together. Yoohyun ca in as Yerim scowled, and the unicorns ran away again.
“Is that all your luggage?”
A carrier seed too little, even though he did not have many personal items in his house.
“I just brought so clothes, and I can buy the rest.”
He was rich, but the fact that he had so little to take with him irked . Three years would have been enough ti to clutter the house a little with morabilia.
“Go in first. Will you use your old room?”
“Yes.”
I had to smile at his smile, as it reminded of when he was young. I had him go up and asked the unicorns to return to their hos. Then, I approached Yerim, who looked put out.
“Yerim.”
“I don’t like living alone.”
Her voice sounded sad.
“I like my dorm. It’s convenient, but the room’s lonely.”
I then realized that I had left a young girl on her own. I had thought that she was adjusting well because she had been so bright and carefree. It was natural that she would feel lonely.
“I’m sorry to have not noticed that earlier.”
“No, it’s better than living with soone I don’t like. However, I do want to live with you.”
“I an, you’re a young girl...”
“I’m much stronger than you, so it doesn’t matter.”
“Wouldn’t be inconvenient?”
“I shared a room with two annoying cousins before.”
I thought things over before motioning to Yerim.
“Let’s take a work.”
“Aren’t you being too serious? You can refuse.”
“It’s not that.”
However, sothing bothered . I went up to the rooftop garden, which was dim even with lights. The sumr air was still warm at night, and I saw bugs and mosquitos that would bite .
“Oh, bugs will bite you.”
Yerim gently let out a cold fog, and the air cooled down as bugs went away. It was then Blue flew at us half-asleep to greet us as it was ti to sleep for him.
“Why did you co out? You should sleep.”
“Blue, it’s been a long ti!”
The griffon yawned as he greeted us before flying away.
“Will you really give Blue to Hyuna?”
“If Breaker successfully bids a monster baby, maybe not. Hyuna would take good care.”
“She will. I wish Blue and my attributes t.”
“I’ll get you one that suits you.”
“Isn’t it a special treatnt?”
“You warrant it.”
We talked as we walked. Yerim told about the S class dungeon she conquered and the nice items she got.
“I now finished paying off my debts with the rest of my items.”
Yerim smiled as she told that being an S class gave her a good item distribution ratio. I was proud of her but also felt heavy.
‘That skill’s keyword effect...’
I had used it on Yerim without knowing, but I had to think that Yerim overlapped soone on and began to like thus. I could not ignore that fact anymore, as if she remained a friendly acquaintance, the fact the skill brought us together would not bother . I was not a moral person. However, she beca too close and would beco too closer.
“I have to tell you sothing.”
The skill window told if the subject knew about the keyword effect, the skill would be nullified. I did not know the extent of how far I could let her know as that ant other effects would beco ineffective, but I had other ways of giving her other skills now.
“You told that you thought of a guy you knew before.”
Yerim looked surprised.
“You were thinking of that! I don’t now!”
“You don’t?”
“Yes! It was true that you reminded of him before.”
Yerim looked a bit embarrassed as she continued on.
“I knew that he had passed away, but I was young. I dread of him suddenly appearing and taking away to care for . However, you appeared and awakened .”
She told that she enjoyed earning money, a house, and dolls with her own powers.
“You did remind of him, but not now. I like you more.”
She looked at straight, and I thought whether she still liked without the keyword effect. I took off my fear resistance skill, as that ant I was the only one with protection.
“...First, thank you.”
“Why? You were good to .”
“However, I still thank you. Yerim, you should know my skill effect brought us together at first.”
“Yes?”
Yerim’s eyes widened, and my mouth turned a bit dry.
“The skill...would make you sohow like . I didn’t know it at first, but you thought of soone you knew because of that.”
I checked the skill window and thankfully, saying only that did not nullify the keyword effect.
“I’m sorry for deceiving you...”
“Wait. Were you good to because of that skill?”
“What? No. The skill is applied to you.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a relief.”
Yerim smiled brightly as she tapped my arm.
“I was surprised that you had been nice to only because of the skill.”
“No, and your effect seems to have worn off since I don’t remind you of him anymore.”
“Really? So that’s one off my conscience. You were really worried about nothing.”
“...What?”
“You were the one to give everything, and like , so the skill should have been applied on you for .”
“That’s because you liked first.”
“I cannot help but like soone who helped out as you did.”
“This is more serious than you think. I used a psychological skill on you, and it’s not sothing...”
“You’re doing it again.”
Yerim cut off and shook my hand like a handshake.
“Just say you’re sorry and give the duplex where Blue lived.”
“One side of that room is entirely open with barristers, so it would be inconvenient.”
“I can use curtains! Also, I want to use it as my second room.”
I nodded as she asked again.
“Then, smile and convince Yoohyun!”
“I don’t think he will hate that so much.”
“Nah, he will.”
She told we should hurry since Yoohyun will be waiting, and while I wondered whether things were all right like this, my heart was righter.
“You’re looking at like that again.”
“Yes?”
“Co here.”
I went to her and felt her arm in mine. The warmth was welco.
