91. Gentle (6)

He was a strange person.

He also had doubts that he had not yet come out of the world of his own that he had fallen into as a child.

Doesn’t that sound absurd? Regressor, future, absurd.

‘·······Really? That’s ridiculous.’

In fact, even if it’s not ‘regression’, there are all kinds of things that don’t make sense.

It was because there was no reason for Lee Yu-hyeon to save everyone including herself.

And that’s not all.

A person who knows incomprehensible information and harbors incomprehensible emotions.

That was Lee Yoo-hyeon.

‘······Regressor.’

Although the premise must be that Lee Yoo-hyeon did not tell a single lie.

······It’s still hard to understand even after laying it down.

That’s such an absurd thing… Is not it.

“I just think of it as my own trust.”

Even they say that.

“······Trust.”

Wouldn’t it be okay to try it once?

“·······.”

Worried for a while.

“Youhyeon.”

Yoo Yeo-han decided to believe.

Not the person named Lee Yoo-hyeon, but his ‘words’ and ‘attitude’.

Because if it’s not a person, there’s nothing I can’t believe.

“Then I will at least believe that. You said you trusted me, and this is in return.”

Yes.

This is a simple reciprocation and respect, not that I trust Lee Yoo-hyeon.

Until now, she has not been able to enjoy the ‘obviousness’. It was similar before she was turned into a test subject.

Since Lee Yoo-hyeon made it possible for me to enjoy it, it is right to keep it to this extent.

‘This is something I must do, not trust that person.’

Yoo Yeo-han thought so.

However, even the smallest change is a change after all.

Faith is also the same. The essence does not change according to the size.

At that time, Yoo Yeo-han did not know that fact. No denied

Humans are more sensitive to loss than any other creature.

Because of this, most people rely more on ‘recovered things’.

Yeohan was no different.

I lost my faith, and I am trying to regain it.

I’m still very afraid of losing again…

Someday I will rely on you more.

Is that why?

The ‘incident’ that occurred later drove a wedge into Yoo Yeo-han’s heart.

***

Two weeks have passed since I brought Yoo Yeo-han.

Yoo Yeo-han adapted faster than expected.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Even the greetings I greeted after waking up in the morning were accepted naturally.

“Are you watching TV again?”

“I like this better than my cell phone.”

“It is unusual.”

“It’s also good for waking up quietly.”

“Really? I feel more sleepy when I see that.”

“Is that so?”

When was the last time you watched TV properly?

I think I stopped watching because I lost interest at some point. I had to watch it linked to a paid streaming site.

“What do you want for breakfast?”

“I will eat whatever you give me.”

We had casual conversations and waited for the other kids to wake up.

“Oh, come to think of it.”

“Huh?”

“I heard that you are a student. But it seems like you are not going to school.”

“Oh that? It’s because I’m on break right now. I have to go next week.”

“I see.”

It is said that the academy will change quite a bit.

More focus on security, fewer risky practices.

There will be a certification exam soon, but I don’t know how to prepare for it.

“It must be lonely.”

“What?”

“I would be alone at home without Yoohyeon or the others.”

“… Hmm?”

“Oh, don’t worry about the house. I will protect you.”

A gloomy look.

I looked at Yoo Yeo-han like that and burst into laughter.

“Ha ha ha! Were you thinking about that?”

“Why, why are you laughing?”

“I laugh because it’s funny.”

It’s not that I don’t understand. If it was a regular school, I would have come home late because of self-study or sleeping in the afternoon.

But this school is different.

Studying while staying is 100% free.

I don’t know if it’s Jang, but I rarely stay in school.

At first, there were only three students including myself.

“No matter how late it is, I will be back before 5 o’clock. Hannah Do and Hyeonah Joo will be here.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, so don’t worry.”

“I didn’t worry about anything. I just… Just thought I might be a little lonely.”

“I see.”

“It’s true.”

“Do you understand?”

“Ugh…”

Yoo Yeo-han has increased his emotional expression lately.

Thanks to that, the taste of teasing has improved.

As we continued our conversation, I suddenly heard a voice from the second floor.

“Ahmm… Good morning everyone~”

It was Jang Ha-ra’s voice.

Seeing him come down with his eyes half-closed, it seems he hasn’t woken up yet.

“Did you wake up early today?”

“Uhm… I’m going back to school soon, so we signed a non-aggression pact.”

“······Non-aggression pact?”

“Ah, that’s nothing!”

Things I don’t know often happen in this house these days.

I need to find out.

Jang Ha-ra had no intention of telling me at first glance, so I asked Yu Yeo-han next to me.

“Yeo Han-ah.”

“Yes.”

“Tell me.”

A presence in the living room even at dawn.

They say that they are sensitive when they sleep and wake up often, so you should be able to know what they are doing.

“Hmm.”

Yoo Yeo-han looked at Jang Ha-ra.

Jang Hara smirked at how relaxed she was.

“I cannot speak.”

“…What?”

I doubted my ears.

It’s not ‘I don’t know’, so you can’t say it?

Jang Ha-ra’s face, which had been smirking for a moment, overlapped and passed by.

This can’t be…

“Yoohyeon, even after me, I’m number one in the whole school.”

“Huh?”

“I have already done all the information control.”

Is that how it happened?

The other day, the four of us except for me talked about something, and it must have been information control.

“Is this so?”

“Promises are important. It is an act based on trust.”

“・・・・・・I feel betrayed.”

It was completely unexpected.

Anyway, what can I do?

It’s clear that it’s related to me, so it’s hard to just ignore it.

Should I also use the last resort?

“Okay, if you want to come out like that.”

I jumped up from my seat.

Then I went straight to Jang Hara.

“… Hmm?”

This is a ‘disposable’ means that can only be used against Jang Hara.

Because I don’t have enough relationship with Hannah Do, and if I use Nari Seo, there is a risk of being reversed.

“Wait, Yoohyeon…?”

.

.

.

“So you signed a non-aggression pact?”

“Ehhhhh.”

Jang Ha-ra, blushing, hesitantly told the truth.

Anyway, it’s shocking. Fighting over my door every night.

I finally understood what Nari Seo was talking about the security device the other day.

“Well, then I’ll go to my room for a while…”

“Goodbye.”

Jang Ha-ra hurried up the stairs.

A look that disappears in an instant.

Yoo Yeo-han, who was watching the scene with me, said.

“I have heard that you are a flirt. Indeed, that’s why.”

“Who is it?”

“This is Joo Hyun-ah.”

That bastard.

“I didn’t do much…… Tsk, did you say anything else?”

Yoo Yeo-han said calmly.

“He also told me not to trust him because he is a scumbag who neglects the value of labor.”

“You said everything.”

“Honestly, I think trash is right.”

“… You are so honest.”

“I will take it as a compliment.”

You said earlier that you have more emotional expressions.

From noble mtl dot com

Unfortunately, that “Expression” Also included these things.

I’m happy because it’s proof that I’ve become more comfortable, but sometimes it’s too fast.

I sighed and leaned back on the sofa.

Yoo Yeo-han asked me out of the blue.

“Is there any reason not to choose?”

It’s a choice.

I seemed to know what he was asking.

“Yes.”

“It must be a secret.”

“Yes. That said, the secret will soon end.”

Probably half a year later.

“Have you made up your mind?”

“Yes… Um? Wait for a sec.”

I was about to answer a question, but my phone was vibrating.

When I checked, it was the president of the association.

I left for a while and answered the phone.

─Do you have time?

“A lot. What are you doing?”

The president of the association sighed.

─Something happened.

“Oh, can I help you?”

─No.

The president of the association said in a firm voice.

─You don’t do anything. So are your friends.

“·······Yes?”

─At least today, I am told not to go outside.

“What the hell happened?”

─Do you know what ‘monsterization’ is?

“···························································.

I’m still at the point where I have to use ‘Safe,’ but I can’t help but notice.

Stranger than that.

I haven’t told you about becoming a monster yet.

“Why is that?”

─Phenomena of people turning into monsters has been discovered everywhere. You don’t watch the news, so I’m saying it myself.

“Now?”

─Yes, now.

I was a little confused by the unexpected news.

Monsterization occurs everywhere?

In fact, a similar situation existed in the original work. The reason I’m confused is because ‘now’ there’s no way.

The situation in the original story is not that complicated.

When the first monster king died, his henchmen ran amok.

There’s no way the monster king died right now, so you can assume that something else happened.

─Anyway, don’t go outside.

“No, I’ll fix it.”

─What? Are you just going to be quiet? I don’t know if monstrous transformation is contagious or not!

“It is not contagious, so don’t worry about that.”

Monsterization is not contagious.

Because only beings directly empowered by the king can transform into monsters.

The president of the association shouted through the phone.

─How do you know that…!

I just hung up.

I got a call back and turned off my phone.

“Let’s see…”

I should go to the forest first.

Good job.

Because I needed to test Yu Yeo-han.

“Yeo Han-ah.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s go out for a while.”

Previously, to Joo Hyun-ah’s question why he was seeking Yoo Yeo-han, I answered like this.

‘Because I need it.’

Joo Hyun Ah seems to think it’s a lie, but she doesn’t.

Yoo Yeo-han’s ability will be the most important key to defeating the King of Monsters.
