Chapter 39

“How long has it been since you signed the contract?”

“It hasn’t been that long. Has it been a month yet?”

Thinking about it made her cry again.

What the hell did she do to meet two L-ranks in this short time and even have them find out her identity.

“It doesn’t seem to be as long as I thought? I thought it had been a few years since you called it by its first name.”

“If you put your mind to it, can’t you just be friends?”

“Isn’t the civil servant unni making fun of it? Can’t you tell just by looking at it’s nickname?”

“How could you say that? Don’t ignore my brilliant naming sense. Our Eliza likes it too!”

【Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪ 】

“Look at him. Even now, he is very happy.”

Seora smiled broadly and gently stroked the administrator’s emoticon. Jarim, who did not know the truth because she couldn’t see it, was amazed.

“Hey, that’s amazing. The contractor in Bhaskar was having a hard time because the administrator harassed him whenever he had time.”

“It harassed him? how?”

“Making him do this and that. Catch the monsters that come through the gate, or close the dungeon. Doesn’t the district manager do that? You said that Unni was actually an S-Rank.”

Seora, who had revealed the truth to Jarim before eating the chicken, blinked.

He had been telling her to be careful and sometimes cheering her on fights, but……

“Well… No, he doesn’t. He never forced anything on me in the first place.”

“Wow, he must be very fond of Unni. Bhaskar’s contractor would be very upset if he found out.”

【Administrator: ٩(*˙︶˙*)۶】

With both hands raised, the administrator laughed happily.

It was cute, and it was embarrassing to say that he cared for her so much. Seora coughed for no reason and ate a chicken leg.

Liza, you can put your hands down now.

“I’m glad I came to Earth now.”

“Why?”

“You said you are S-Rank in reality right? Perhaps it’s because the skill proficiency is low, but after a while, you should rise to a L-Rank, right?”

What? In the middle of eating the chicken, Seora stared blankly at Seong Jarim.

“Anyway, it’s S-Rank, the administrator’s contractor is a fraid anyways, so even if you face me head-on right now, our skills will be similar.”

Why did you say such important things while she was eating chicken?

After losing her appetite. Seora suddenly put down her chicken.

“Haha. Even now, it looks like you can still kill me with confidence, but if you become an L-Rank, won’t you just be a walking disaster? Oh wow. Unni, let’s hurry up and raise your grade.”

“Don’t say such terrible things.”

After she asked for some chicken, Seora shoved a chicken leg into Jarim’s mouth.

It’s not an S-Rank, but L-Rank? L-Rank, where notifications were sent to all awakened in the country if it is achieved?

Oh, it was really a no.

“By the way, returnee-ssi. Why do you call me unni? It is embarrassing to be called by such a title by an old man over 100 years old.”

A chicken leg fell from Jarim’s mouth at the merciless attack.

“Old man, old man!”

“Since I have seen that you are 129 years old, there’s no point in trying to back out, old man.”

“On Earth, I am still only 26!”

“Ah. I’m 22, 107 years younger than the old man.”

Seora raised her hands and waved two fingers in both hands. Jarim quietly ate the chicken with tears in her eyes.

Oooh, our old man. It must be difficult because you are old, but you eat chicken well.

“Oh, I have a question for you. What happened to the contractor you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“Is there any risk to signing a contract with the administrator?”

“From the contract? The administrator ordered this and that, but I don’t think it had ever been an actual problem or anything?”

“I see. So the contractor’s position isn’t dangerous or anything.”

At Seora’s words, Jarim made a face as if she had been hit by a blow.

“Is that all you are curious about? Aren’t you curious about the administrator’s identity or something? You probably don’t know.”

“Uh, I don’t know. I didn’t even ask Liza because I wasn’t curious.”

Rather, Seora looked at Jarim strangely, asking what she was curious about.

“Just looking at it, it doesn’t seem like the normal thing to do, so what to do? Like I said, my safety and peace are the most important to me. Being the center of a typhoon is an absolute no.”

Seora constantly complained saying that just being next to her was tiring.

If it wasn’t for hotel life, she would just shoot her with the gun……

Jarim no longer asked anything and remained silent at her murmurs.

Yes, Yoon Seora shouldn’t be bothered. Annoying the district administrator’s contractor would get them shot in the head.

Jarim knelt down to her knees and shook her head vigorously.

She had met Yoon Seora for about two hours. And yet Seong Jarim captured her personality perfectly.

***

That night.

A dim light flickered in the small bedroom of the suite where Seora was sleeping.

It roamed the air, resembling a hand, and soon touched her black hair.

【The system administrator quietly whispers saying he won’t force you to do what you don’t want, so don’t worry】

Even though Seora was already asleep and unable to see the message, the administrator conveyed his sincere words to his contractor.

The light flickering as if stroking her hair soon disappeared.

However, the administrator’s ears still remained there, so the voices from the other bedrooms reached him.

“Administrator. I have definitely seen a lot in Bhaskar, but I’m not going to bring that here. Since this is not Bhaskar.”

Jarim looked into the void. She seemed to know that the administrator was there.

“Even if your contractor asks, I will distinguish between what I can answer and what I can’t. At least until the manager allows it.”

Jarim’s golden eyes traced her past.

Hundred years. It was not easy to spend a hundred years in a place other than Earth.

Jarim clenched her fists.

“……By the way, administrator. If I say something I shouldn’t say, can’t you just quietly shake the carrot without killing me? Then I’ll shut up on my own, so please don’t kill me……”

An answer didn’t come back. She was so anxious even though she knew she wouldn’t hear an answer because she wasn’t a contractor.

“The administrator of Bhaskar wanted to smash me with a rock whenever he had time…… Please, district administrator, please don’t do that……”

One such experience was enough.

Jarim fell on her knees and began to pray, and pray.

Not knowing that the system administrator, who burst into absurd laughter, returned back to Seora’s side, she prayed all night long.

***

“Mmmnhn.”

Harsh words came out from between Seora’s tightly bitten lips.

Jarim, who was whistling next to her, trembled at her, trying to get away from her as far as she could.

But she couldn’t even take her eyes off the cold Seora’s eyes.

In the morning, Seora’s condition was the best.

As if she had a good dream all night, she felt good for no reason, and her lounge breakfast service was so perfect.

However, on her way to work, the moment she saw the cameras and reporters camped in front of the association, her happiness was shattered.

“Wyisthshppeng? Istbcsfyu?”

“I can’t tell what you are saying, Seora.”

“Do I have to go through this because of you?”

Seora slapped the back of the L-Rank Awakener who appeared noisily.

“Oh, it hurts, it hurts! Oh! Why does it hurt? Isn’t my rank higher?! Huh, maybe this is the famous mother’s back smashing……!”

“I can do a full-body smashing if you want.”

Jarim became quiet in an instant.

“How the hell am I supposed to break through that? Just by looking at your eyes, everyone would know that you are not a normal person.”

Her noticeable red hair and even more noticeable golden eyes.

According to her, her eyes changed once she obtained the title ‘mad eyes’ in Bhaskar, It was more appropriate to say that it resembled a firework instead of jewel-like brilliance.

She didn’t know how the madness happened, but that special color that matches the name would be suspicious to anyone looking at it.

That didn’t mean she could raise her suspicions by wearing a hat.

‘But do I have to go to work?’

Since this is the way it happened in the past, can’t she just contact the chief saying that she will stay at the hotel for the time being?

A happy hotel life with room service is waiting for her, so why bother going to work?

‘Why didn’t I think of this right away?’

Seora, who quickly felt better, took out her cell phone while laughing.

“If that’s the case, I might be able to help.”

But while doing so, she turned her head blankly at the familiar voice.

Kang Sejun, who was still handsome—but a little less handsome than before, perhaps because of the sculptural beauty she had seen in her dreams—was standing there with a serene face.

why are you here……?

“Is my body okay? Why can I see the mage-ssi who should be in Daegwallyeong? What? Is it a ghost? Is the mage-ssi dead?”

“Aren’t you just saying random things? Naturally, the dungeon processing is over, so I’m back. Besides.”

Kang Sejun glanced at Jarim.

“……I have a lot of questions.”

“Hey, hey. I felt something thrilling, was it this person? Oops, look at this terrifying energy. It’s scary, scary!”

“Hey, old man. Did you feel this person coming?”

When Seora asked if it was possible, Jarim smiled brightly and nodded his head.

“Yeah!”

Oh my! You damn dog! You should have said that right away!

Left-hand returnee, right-hand regressor.

It was truly a terrible position.

Fortunately, she didn’t enter with the two L-ranks on both.

It was thanks to Kang Sejun, who first showed his face and went to the association.

“Kang Sejun-ssi! Have you met the new L-Rank awakened? Why did you visit the association?”

“Do you know who it is? Just tell us one thing!”

“Kang Sejun-ssi!”

Reporters, who were waiting for her to come, turned the camera right away with the appearance of another gold nugget.

The viewfinder was full of handsome face that was delicious to take pictures of, but unfortunately he was the last subject on the camera.

“Ahh! evil! M-My camera!”

“Ah, nonono, dear! My memory card ah ah ah ah!”

All the cameras burst out with a popping sound because of Kang Sejun.

With his back turned to the desperate cries and explosions, Kang Sejun entered the association without a care.

It was like a scene from a movie when the reporters fell down.

‘You were the main character of a movie, not a novel.’

But Seora couldn’t help but admire it.

This was because the happy hotel life was blown away thanks to Mage-ssi defeating the reporters.

Bad Kang Sejun…… wait and see.
