35. stick

first of all.

With all my conscience, I did not intend this situation.

So…how did this happen?

Time goes back to 2 hours ago.

“…it’s annoying.”

At 4:30 in the afternoon, lying on the bed, I murmured.

The time to meet Shin Yeo-eun was 6 o’clock, so I had to prepare slowly.

However, it is natural that everything becomes annoying when it is a holiday.

I did too.

“Ugh, I have to go anyway.”

I finally got up, washed lightly, and was ready to go out.

To cover up the unknown marks he had discovered the other day, he put a patch on his neck.

The place to meet was a cafe.

I checked the location as soon as I received it yesterday, and it was a cafe on the outskirts of the city.

There is a river nearby.

It was the first place I had been to, so I took a taxi and showed the driver the location.

After driving for about an hour, I saw the cafe Shin Yeo-eun mentioned.

“Thank you~”

I got out of the taxi and went straight to the cafe.

There was no Shin Yeo-eun on the first floor. I thought he hadn’t arrived yet, but it turned out that he was on the second floor.

“Ah, are you here?”

A woman with a ponytail sitting in a window seat.

I sat across from Shin Yeo-eun.

“Isn’t it pretty?”

“······uh? suddenly?”

“I mean the scenery.”

“ah.”

Shin Yeo-eun sighs and looks out the window.

A wide, blue river, a small boat floating on it.

“See that forest? The one across the river.”

and the woods across the river.

“I see.”

“They say the forest is off-limits. Monsters live there… That’s why people don’t go, and I’m maintaining nature like that.”

Shin Yeo-eun takes a sip of her coffee.

“Perhaps, on this Earth, monsters would be more helpful than people?”

“…”

I listened without reply.

Shin Yeo-eun looks at such a day for a while, then smiles and says.

“I am just talking. Never mind.”

I know.

Why is Shin Yeo-eun talking like that?

Her abilities suddenly manifested when she was 12 years old.

At such a young age, he was directly confronted with all kinds of human malice.

A good personality attracted others’ disregard, and a beautiful appearance earned others’ jealousy.

What if one day you saw your best friend’s inner thoughts, in fact, were full of ignorance and jealousy towards you?

Can the feeling of betrayal be expressed in words?

Shin Yeo-eun was fed up.

Laughing on the outside, but not on the inside.

Putting others down to satisfy your own desires.

to the human being.

That’s probably why he was more obsessed with ‘pure people’.

Shin Yeo-eun put down the mug.

“First, let me explain my abilities.”

I listened to the explanation for about 2 minutes.

I wasn’t surprised because I knew everything about it.

“I believe you have understood at this point… This is the main topic.”

I can finally find out.

Why did you ask me such questions?

“Did I mention that each person has their own inclinations?”

“It did.”

“Sometimes things change.”

“… am I the case?”

“that’s right.”

expected so far.

Maybe when he went to kill Kim Soo-young, he leaned towards the ‘evil’ side for a while.

“however.”

“huh?”

“You have changed that orientation twice. That too to the extreme.”

This was unexpected.

Are you extreme?

“On rare occasions, there are cases in which the inclination is seen as ‘color’. If that color is white, I call it a white person.”

I know this too.

A perfectly one-sided disposition, whether evil, good, or neutral.

Such tendencies are shown in colors, not letters.

Among them, the ‘white person’ refers to the good inclination.

But why is that story coming out now?

“Why do you want to talk about this now?”

“…”

“The reason is simple.”

Shin Yeo-eun looks me straight in the eyes and says.

“Because your alignment has changed from evil to white.”

“uh? I?”

“yes.”

It was a little, no, very embarrassing.

Because there was no such extreme change in the original work.

I couldn’t understand it, so I even turned on the status window, but the tendency displayed by the status window was still neutral.

“So I have one conclusion.”

“······What?”

“It means you like Hara.”

As soon as I heard the story, I sighed.

What kind of nonsense is this?

“It’s not out of the blue.”

“Stop reading my thoughts.”

“Because it’s not something I can control. anyway!”

Shin Yeo-eun hit the desk with her palm.

“Inclinations are also influenced by emotions. There may be times when you feel good and your disposition temporarily changes.”

“What is that?”

“As soon as you discovered Hara, your disposition changed. There is no explanation for this other than that he has feelings for Hara.”

“Ah… is that so?”

He does have feelings.

But that’s not love.

A bond between friends.

Of course, these are the feelings I feel for Nari Seo.

“I think Hara is precious, but it’s a little different from what you think. So I want you to stop misunderstanding.”

“What are you talking about? There is no emotion other than love that can change your disposition.”

“······Are you sure?”

“yes?”

Shin Yeo-eun is a stubborn character.

As such, once an opinion has been established, it is not easy to bend it.

So we need to go out stronger.

“You and I met for the first time yesterday.”

“that······.”

“I know best. It’s a little uncomfortable for others to judge us on their own.”

“······sorry.”

Shin Yeo-eun shut her mouth.

I couldn’t find anything to refute.

After a bit of an awkward atmosphere, I looked out the window for no reason.

It was definitely a nice view.

however.

“uh?”

A boat passing on the river stopped near here.

“… was that something you could ride on?”

surprised.

I thought it was just floating.

“Would you like to ride?”

Is it because of my expression? Shin Yeo-eun asked.

“I thought you might be interested in that ship. I was rude earlier, so as an apology.”

“Mmm.”

I have a lot of experience on boats.

But I don’t think I’ve ever ridden for sightseeing purposes.

I’ve had a lot of hard times lately, so this kind of experience won’t be bad.

“You buy the ticket, right?”

“Sure.”

“Then let’s go.”

I left the cafe that way.

Following the guidance of Shin Yeo-eun, I was able to board the ship right away.

Inside, there was nothing special about it.

There were few people, it was just a boat.

However, the view from inside was quite beautiful.

Almost unpolluted rivers and pristine, fresh forests.

“Isn’t it pretty? Tickets are a bit expensive… but I like this view, so I ride often.”

“I see.”

Shin Yeo-eun hesitated beside him.

“…That, I was really sorry earlier. The words just came out without me knowing.”

“That’s fine now. Thanks to that, I got on the boat.”

“······thank god.”

Maybe her perception of me changed while she was talking, but Shin Yeo-eun’s tone was more aggravated than before.

“Sometimes this is good.”

Leaning against the railing of the boat, I was caught in the wind.

Even though it’s spring, is it still cold, or is it because it’s evening?

The wind was a bit cold.

There are more berths than expected, so the boat stopped several times.

“Let’s get off at the next stop.”

“I see. It was getting late and…”

“How old are you?”

“It’s 6:20.”

“really? Time is already like that-”

at that time.

that buck that buck

Footsteps were heard.

that buck that buck

“…”

“…”

Of course, there is nothing strange about hearing footsteps.

We’re not the only ones using this place.

Even so, something was cheap.

that buck

The footsteps stopped right behind them.

We looked back at the same time.

Then I saw a man wearing a very thick coat.

It was strange.

Although the weather is cold, it’s not enough to wear a coat like that.

“Sorry, sorry…”

The man had a fearful expression on his face.

“My mother is very sick… I have no choice but to earn money for surgery…”

The man who had been talking incomprehensibly took a button out of his pocket.

awkward size.

thick coat.

and a button.

The judgment was made quickly.

I hugged Shin Yeo-eun and jumped off the boat.

“Kyaa?!”

at the same time.

wooow!!!

An explosion occurred on the ship.

.

.

.

So, it turned out like this.

That man… must have been bought by Just.

I was complacent.

No way, I didn’t know that the raid would be launched the day after the failure.

I managed to move Shin Yeo-eun to the mainland, but the place I arrived was near the forest.

A place where there are no bridges and no ships stop.

The phone fell into the water and broke.

It is too risky to swim again due to problems such as body temperature.

Still, I couldn’t wait.

The weather is cold and the clothes are wet.

It was beaten by a gabulgi by a gabulgi.

At that time, Shin Yeo-eun came up with this method.

We adhere to each other’s bodies, and maintain body temperature.

With that, hold on until rescue comes.

However, in order to do that, I had to take off my clothes.

“what are you doing? Take it off quickly!”

Shin Yeo-eun trembled and shouted.

“You are cold too. therefore······.”

“I’m fine.”

“yes?”

Swimming long distances with people is not an easy task.

Of course, I borrowed the power of skill.

There was no skill suitable for this situation except the ninth life, and while synchronizing, he even copied the ‘adaptation’ skill.

[ Adaptation – Gain the ability to adapt to the environment. 100% resistance to cold and heat. ]

So I wasn’t cold.

“Me…?”

But it didn’t solve the problem.

Because Shin Yeo-eun doesn’t have this skill.

“······wait for a sec.”

I hurriedly searched the system.

It was to find out if there was any skill that would help in this situation.

“Why not…”

And it failed.

If there was at least one fire-type skill, it would make a fire, but why not?

“Hey, Mr. Yoohyeon…?”

Shin Yeo-eun called me earnestly.

I was shaking harder than before.

While I was wasting my time, Shin Yeo-eun’s condition got worse and worse.

“······okay.”

Eventually I took off my clothes too.

Oh, and I was wearing underwear.

“・・・・・Do not think strangely?”

“Because I don’t?!”

Shin Yeo-eun, who could not stand it, rushed at me.

He hugged me and pressed me completely.

Something snapped and touched me.

It was a very embarrassing feeling, but I tried hard not to care.

I tried, but…

“Ah, it’s still cold…”

Shin Yeo-eun continued to cling.
