Does awakening change a person’s personality? I only t him once, but I don’t think he was this kind of person.
In the novel Kang Soo-hyun is a righteous man.
Maybe it was because of his brother who sotis acted recklessly, but it was his role to stand before him and say all the right things. His role was not to help a Villain with a gun commit a cri by smiling beside him like this.
“…Can’t you step aside for a bit?”
I asked him, as it would ruin my image in Kang Soo-hyun’s eyes even more if I let him see do this, but he just tilted his head when he heard .
“Will you be okay? If I leave, he might attack hyung.”
“Hmm.”
The look in the watchdog’s eyes was obviously hostile. When conciliation doesn’t work, I plan to do sothing by force. Well, without Kang Soo-hyun, an S-class, he probably would have thought that Han Yi-jin, who was a B-class, could be easily subdued even if he was holding a gun.
“Well, I don’t know what his ability is.”
“…!”
I stuck the shiny white gun to the watchdog’s forehead. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief as he felt the cold muzzle of the gun press against his forehead without wavering.
I looked at him nonchalantly and spoke.
“You can’t avoid it when it’s this close.”
“Ugh…!”
As the fear of impending death engulfed him, the watchdog’s eyes greatly shook.
“Wa–Wait! Wait!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll finish you in one shot.”
“Please hear out!”
I don’t want to hear him out.
Still, I couldn’t shoot him in front of Kang Soo-hyun who was still watching, so I shook my head as if telling him to leave.
“I–I’ll do whatever you say. Please save . Please?”
“Hmm.”
I looked at the watchdog who spat and spoke desperately, and opened my mouth.
“What is your ability?”
“Concealnt and spatial travel. Spatial travel is only possible for and the distance is short, but it’s quite useful when used with concealnt.”
“Hmm.”
That’s why he appears everywhere? My eyes t Kang Soo-hyun’s because unexpectedly, I made a mistake. Looking at his skills, he must be as useful as Eden.
Even so, I don’t believe him. I don’t want to be betrayed because I believed him for no reason.
Just when I was tilting towards the decision to just kill him, Kang Soo-hyun, who was watching this with great interest, intervened.
“Should I use my skills?”
“Your skills?”
“I have skills I can use at tis like this.”
“What are they?”
However, after asking, I belatedly rembered Kang Soo-hyun’s skills. Certainly, among the skills he had, there was a skill to keep the watchdog at bay.
That was “Covenant.”
It wasn’t a skill with a sweet aning like its na, but an ability that was able to greatly restrain the target. This was because if Kang Soo-hyun used this skill, even if it was just a verbal agreent, it would create strong restrictions and bind the other party.
In the novel, Kang Soo-hyun used this skill to make enemies reveal their information. Nevertheless, it was rarely used for cri or blackmailing soone.
I looked at Kang Soo-hyun with an uncomfortable face.
“It’s a skill called Covenant, and if I use it, he’ll follow your orders, hyung.”
“Really…?”
Kang Soo-hyun added an explanation after seeing my uncomfortable expression. He seed to think that I was wondering if his skills would be of any use.
“Yes. It also has a high rating. S-level…”
“Um…”
I thought differently from Kang Soo-hyun, but I was worried. Can I accept help from Kang Soo-hyun?
But I’m not in a position to be picky right now. If I can have complete control over this watchdog, I might be able to get out of the Loki Guild sooner than I planned. It would also screw with the guildmaster.
“…Then use your skills on him.”
Kang Soo-hyun smiled and nodded in agreent to my request.
“What are the conditions?”
“The conditions…”
Slowly, I looked at the watchdog’s face. When I saw the fear in his eyes, I raised the corner of my lips and smirked.
The Covenant skill is a one-sided promise. If the rank was low, it would be a two-sided promise, but Kang Soo-hyun was an S-class and didn’t have to keep one, so only the other party had to keep the promise. It was very unjust and infuriating for people who were caught up in the skill.
“First, find information on all the cris and acts of corruption that Jang Tae-san has committed.”
“Wh–what?”
“If you do it today, I won’t kill you.”
“What are you saying right now…!”
“First, make a covenant with this.”
I turned to Kang Soo-hyun, ignoring the confused watchdog. Then, following my words without making any mistakes, Kang Soo-hyun used his skills. When the mark of the covenant was engraved on the watchdog’s forehead, the gun that had been thrust against his head was moved away.
“Now get lost.”
“Uh, ca–can you change the conditions?”
“No, shit, you said you’d do anything.”
“T–that’s true, but…”
The conditions to dig up Jang Tae-san’s disgusting acts seem to be too high a hurdle for a re watchdog,but that’s none of my business.
“If you’re not going to do it, you can just die.”
“Uh, ugh…”
The watchdog’s brow furrowed as I spoke sarcastically and twirled my gun. After all, he had no choice. Either he chooses to die here or decides to betray Jang Tae-san. Any normal person would usually try to avoid the death flag right in front of them.
“…I understand.”
The watchdog’s body instantly beca transparent as he nodded reluctantly. As soon as the restraints were released, he disappeared. He’s at least an A-class like Eden. If it wasn’t for Kang Soo-hyun, I would have had a hard ti catching him alone.
“Did I do well?”
“…”
When I turned my head, Kang Soo-hyun’s eyes shone as if he wanted a complint. I swear I could see damn ears and a tail too. Am I under an illusion? I’m going crazy, really.
“Yeah, well done.”
I said awkwardly as I put the gun into my inventory. This is the second ti I’ve loaded a gun without firing it.
“Then give the reward.”
“Reward? Ah, the date?”
Kang Soo-hyun blushed and nodded when I said those embarrassing words.
This guy doesn’t care that I tried to kill a guy with a gun right in front of him? I thought he was quite timid in the novel. What the hell happened?
“Hoo, Ok. Let’s do it. The date.”
Even now, I don’t know what the future has in store for . A date with a high school student. Although most of the mories of my previous life are gone, the knowledge gained through the dia remains. Going on a date with a fresh young man seems a bit silly and boring.
“Then let’s go!”
I want to hit myself hard, really hard, for thinking that. I should have just run away! I underestimated the stamina of a high school student, man!
For two hours, I beca a shield as if I was a target in the PC room, then I was dragged to the arcade for an hour, I was beaten in various martial arts gas, and for the last hour, I was forced to sing an unknown group’s song at coin karaoke.
Fuck, kill . Just kill !
By the ti I reached the brink of insanity, the date had ended and the sun had started to set.
“Oh, it’s already this late”
“…”
No, it isn’t that late. That’s because it’s ti for the sun to set. I looked at the ti before looking at the sun setting in the sky.
“I’m going now.”
“Yes? Already?”
“Yes, it’s late.”
There wasn’t much ti left before Kang Yoo-hyun’s press conference started. Still, Han Yi-jin’s younger brother would be safe if I pretended to do as Jang Tae-san ordered.
“Where are you going?”
“Uh…”
I couldn’t say that I would go to his hyung’s press conference in front of him, Kang Soo-hyun, so after a bit of hesitation, I answered back with a question.
“You won’t be attending Kang Yoo-hyun’s press conference?”
“I won’t? Why should I?”
“Isn’t that your hyung…?”
I know very well that the relationship between the two is not very good. It’s not their fault. At first, I thought it was the author who made the setting that way, but now… I’m not sure.
Han Yi-jin, who cares so much about his brother, makes feel a little strange.
“Is hyung going to the press conference?”
“Well, yes.”
“…”
Kang Soo-hyun shut his mouth when I answered nonchalantly. I didn’t know that he would bite his lip as if he didn’t like it.
Does he hate his hyung that much? What would the world be like if he wasn’t on the side of the main character? Kang Soo-hyun suddenly opened his mouth while I was seriously thinking about the existence of such a world.
“Then I’ll go, too.”
“…What?”
Until a while ago, he was the one who asked why he should go to his hyung’s press conference, but now he turned the situation around like it was a piece of cake.
I asked Kang Soo-hyun dumbfoundedly.
“You said you weren’t going earlier.”
“I just changed my mind.”
“Why?”
“Just feel like it.”
As I looked at him with a reluctant face, Kang Soo-hyun spoke in a subtle tone.
“It would be better if I went with you.”
“What would be better?”
“Well, since we’re family, they won’t check my identity, and we can go to the waiting room where reporters can’t enter…”
When he said the last two things, I was already overflowing with joy at the benefits. I planned to enter while utilising my skill, but it’s better not to wastefully use my ability if possible. I don’t have to worry about being caught and kicked out if I go with him.
“Alright. Let’s go together.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
I happily agreed and grabbed Kang Soo-hyun’s hand. After all, Kang Yoo-hyun wouldn’t stop his brother at the gate, would he? Since it wasn’t going to happen, it would be better to start with the Odin Guild, where Kang Yoo-hyun was. Let’s just try it!
“Excuse , hyung.”
“Yes?”
“But, hyung…”
While walking vigorously for the first ti in a while, Kang Soo-hyun looked at with slightly relaxed eyes.
“You really don’t use cologne?”
“…”
He’s asking this again. It overlapped with the first ti we t.
D-do I really stink? Then, I asked, trembling with fear.
“Do I… sll of sothing?”
“No, it’s not a stench… but there is a faint scent.”
“Scent?”
“Yes, it’s a very sweet scent.”
“…?”
At that mont, I raised my arm and sniffed, but I didn’t sll anything. I only slled a little sweat.
I was confused and tilted my head, but Kang Soo Hyun’s face ca a little closer.
“Really… It slls delicious.”
“…”
I got goosebumps for a mont.
T/N: Yes! Finally have an editor and didn’t expect that my editor also got the sa “cheery” na lol 🤣🤣🤭
