Chapter 28

Puck!Thud, thud. Bang! His heavy body bounced all over the floor and walls before coming to a sudden stop.

“Huh...?”

As she stood blankly in the sudden situation, a soft message, like a stroking hand, landed in front of her eyes.

[The system administrator’s fury shakes the system!]

[Warning! The system administrator’s anger is reaching its limit!]

But the content was anything but soft.

“L-Liza-nim?”

[T/N: Administrator is “gwan-li-za/gwan-ri-ja/other variations of it” added with the suffix -nim. From here on out Seora only calls the administrator “Liza-nim” and to translate it Trator-nim is simply ridiculous. You will see why I name it Liza soon.]

The messages that popped up one after another felt like the administrator’s roar, giving her goosebumps. Just because he tried to kill her, the administrator was now angry enough to affect the system.

Seora alternately looked at Park Jinyong, who was half-dead, and the message with puzzled eyes.

‘I can’t believe you’re angry enough to affect the system...’

Well, I appreciate that you’re definitely taking care of me, but I’m a little scared...

[The blessing ‘Guardian’ disappears.]

The blessing that had thrown Park Jinyong away with triple power disappeared. Seora rubbed her arm and looked at Park Jinyong, who had become a bloody pulp.

He seemed to have completely passed out. Of course, she didn’t feel that he was pitiful. She was rather more concerned about the administrator, who was angry enough to affect the system.

“I’m fine, so calm down, Liza-nim.”

Unlike usual, there was no emoticon in reply. Seora was suddenly scared because there was no funny and characteristic message.

I think it’s really angry. What should I do?

Park Jinyong, who had fainted, was not a problem. The first thing was to calm the administrator who seemed to have flipped out because they loved me too much.

“My Liza-nim, thank you so much for caring about me. Thank you so much for hitting him in my stead. Ayy, what a cute, lovely, and good kid you are. Let’s calm down for now, alright? Choo, choo.”

Seora stroked the message that said the administrator was angry over and over again. However, perhaps because she was too distracted to soothe the administrator, she did not realize she was trampling on Park Jinyong.

“... What are you doing?”

She didn’t even notice that Kang Sejun was so close. Seora, who was stroking the air while muttering good and cute kid, jumped.

“Ah, again! You did it again! Can’t you make some noise?!”

“There’s a disturbance nearby, so of course I must approach stealthily. Do you expect me to come so loud so that everyone can hear me? Anyway, Liza? Who the heck was that that you even did that to the air?”

“...”

Oh no. This guy was listening to it. Seora coughed over the administrator’s message she had been stroking.

“My god...”

“Is your Entity named Liza?”

“It’s not. I’m just calling it cough, cough, E... Elizabeth... on my own.”

Seora closed her eyes and told a lie. Then, along with Sejun’s sympathetic eyes, the administrator’s emoticon finally returned.

[Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪... ... ?]

It wasn’t a good look, though.

‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry. But I can’t say you’re the system administrator. Elizabeth, it’s an old-fashioned name, so let’s compromise on that.’

[Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪!!!!!!]

Seora tried to ignore his message.

“I’m just kidding. But as a witness, you have to help me out with that.”

What she pointed to with her chin was none other than Park Jinyong’s knee, which she had shot. His knee had been completely broken, and he would never walk properly again.

“Didn’t you say you don’t want to retaliate out of personal anger because you’re a civil servant?”

“I can do self-defense even if I’m a civil servant.”

Kang Sejun, who was made speechless because of Seora’s bold answer, soon burst out laughing. He murmured that he really could not beat her.

“Well, actually, I wasn’t that angry. My Liza was very angry on my behalf.”

Seora looked into the air. Perhaps the administrator was also looking at her.

Although the anger was unexpected, it had put her in a good mood, and all of her anger because of Park Jinyong was quickly blown away. The administrator was more important than the bastard who would never appear before her again.

[Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪ ]

However, the administrator, who heard the ridiculous nickname, was bewildered. Seora shrugged.

‘Let’s compromise. I will call you Liza so it won’t be a big deal if someone eavesdrops on us like this time. From now on, in places other than my home, I will call you Liza.’

[Administrator: (╬◣д◢)]

‘Whatever you say is useless. I’ve already made up my mind. Liza, our kid’s name is very pretty. If you don’t like it, I’ll call you Liz or Lizzy. Haha. I like Elizabeth because the name has a lot of nicknames.’

[Administrator: ( ◣д◢)൭൭=3=3!!!!]

“... Pfft.”

At the expected reaction, I burst into laughter.

Ah, now everything seems to be back to normal. It is better to laugh together like this rather than deal with an angry administrator.

[Administrator: ╭☞◣‸◢╭☞]

Then the administrator pointed to one place even though he was angry. Seora turned her head towards it.

“Someone’s coming.”

“Your intuition is good.”

“I didn’t know until Liza told me.”

It was not that far away, but now Seora realized that the other party was also strong.

“Is it S-class?”

“It’s Han Suwon and Director Do. Even if the two of us run away, they will soon come after us.”

Of all things, Han Suwon was the king of magic, and Do Junyoung had a very good sense. Seora stared at Park Jinyong’s bleeding knee.

Oh, it’s over if I get caught.

“Mage-ssi, give me a hand.”

“... What else are you going to do?”

Feeling something, Sejun’s complexion deteriorated in an instant.

Without explanation, Seora quickly reached out to inventory again, took out Hit that had been transformed, and immediately squeezed it into Sejun’s hand.

“What are you doing?”

“From now on, it is the L-class Mage who has shot Park Jinyong. I’m a fragile F-class who barely survived thanks to Mage-ssi. Thank you very much.”

“Seriously, you crazy woman.”

But he couldn’t finish his speech. It was because Do Junyoung and Han Suwon had appeared at the end of the alley.

And at the same time, Seora’s famous performance unfolded again. With her whole body trembling, she slumped down in place as if she had lost her strength.
