Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Ah, and come to think of it, this guy who was no different from the main character of a fantasy novel was also involved.

“Is it essential to do exorcism, as Emissary Guild’s leader said? Why did bad luck suddenly start pouring in?”

Did I really use up all my luck on a contract with the administrator? From now on, do I have to live only through this tumultuous path of misfortune?

“Oh, right. I forgot.”

Seora, who was lying on the bed and sighing, looked serious for a moment. Sitting upright, she looked into space.

“Lizaliza-ssi? I think we had something to talk about.”

[Administrator: (¬_¬);;]Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

“Wheeeeere are you looking at instead of my eyes? Now, come here and sit down. Let’s have a serious conversation.”

As Seora pointed at the spot near her, a message from the administrator fell in the vicinity. As if they were sitting there as she said.

[The system administrator says they didn’t hide it on purpose.]

“Is that so? You were too natural to say that you didn’t do it on purpose.”

[The system administrator says that this feature was added not long ago. They confess that they didn’t know until then.]

“Additional features? Even Awakeneds and their contracted Entities can do it from the moment they sign the contract, but why is it not like that with you?”

[The system administrator cautiously says that it is because it is challenging to increase contact time with this world.]

[It is now possible thanks to frequent contact with the sole contractor, but they express their concern that it is not good to do it often.]

[As of now, they will do it when necessary, but if not, they will only send emoticons as before.]

“Frequent contact is dangerous...?”

It wasn’t surprising.

Even the god-like being Entities could not abuse excessive power. No matter how good an Awakened was, they were human beings, so they could not fully bear the power of the gods.

That was why the Entities contacted their contractors in a way without descending.

And Seora thought that the system administrator was not an Entity but equivalent to or greater than that. Maybe that was why it was more restricted than the Entities.

“So you’re using emoticons because that’s the way to minimize contact?”

[Administrator: o(╥_╥)o]

“Isn’t that a big problem?”

[Administrator: ☞(╥_╥)☞]

Why are only emoticons okay?

Seora still clearly remembered the moment when the administrator had first sent her an emoticon. The shock of that time still remained fresh.

“Then back to square one. Why did you hide it? Just tell me the truth. I was so shocked to see something that wasn’t there before that I couldn’t even dodge the attack.”

Thanks to Jung Hoyoung, the wound disappeared as if it had been washed away, but the scene of the beast licking her blood remained.

Ugh, I feel sick again. Seora sighed and covered her mouth.

[The system administrator says sorry with a gloomy face.]

[The system administrator carefully watches the arm of the sole contractor.]

“... The wounds are all healed, so it’s okay. You’ve seen what superior potions can do.”

However, seeing this message, Seora felt weak again. She rolled up her sleeve and stroked her slender arm.

[Administrator: 。゚(゚ ́Д`゚)゚。]

“Ugh, really.”

In the end, seeing the tears dripping down, Seora patted the message with a click of her tongue because this was the administrator she couldn’t hate and didn’t want to hate.

“If something like this happens again, don’t hide it. Why are you hiding something that is nothing?”

[The system administrator says it couldn’t be helped.]

“What can’t it be helped?”

There was no answer. What? Why isn’t there an answer? Are you hiding something?

Like when comforting it, Seora grabbed the message and with eyes wide.

“Elizabeth, what are you hiding? What are you up to alone at this moment when we need to have an honest conversation?”

There was still no answer.

“Aaaaaah!”

‘... god. Oh my god.’

What is this fanfare that I can hear now? Angel, is that the horn of an angel?

Is it really possible for brilliance to pour out of a person’s face? Words failed her. Her lips trembled, and she couldn’t utter a word of exclamation.

There was an unidentified man who was beautiful enough to beat the handsome returnee Kang Sejun.

Standing blankly, Seora clenched her fists involuntarily.

Thank you, thank you. I don’t know who you are, but glory to the one who made this dream come true.

A man of great beauty that makes her eyes pop out. How could such beauty exist in reality?

‘Oh, no, no. I’m dreaming, right?’

Seora, who was about to drool, was startled and wiped her lips gently. It was the first time she had ever seen a beautiful man who made her dazed, so it was tough to hold onto her mind.

This, this is such an eye-opener.

“What a place you have here. It’s fate that we met like this. An introduction is-”

She was no longer interested in the wide variety of jewelry. In front of the man’s supreme beauty, the sparkle of the jewelry also faded.

I don’t like handsome sculpture-like men, but this kind of beauty is an exception.

<It feels bizarre to hear that from someone who has invaded someone’s house like that.>

The beauty looked at Seora with a grim look.

Maybe it’s because his face is so perfect. I don’t have any objection to his machine-like voice at all.

“I’m sorry about that. In my defense, I can’t even figure out how I got here. I am dreaming right now.”

<Dream?>

The man tilted his head curiously. Beautiful, shiny blonde hair was dripping down.

Wow, his hair is perfect too.

<A dream... Yes, you can see it as a dream.>

“Huh? What?”

<If this is your dream, isn’t everything created by your imagination here? These jewels and this mansion. Or myself.>

“Absolutely not.”

Her face, which had looked as if she was in ecstasy, looked serious for a moment.

“I’m not sure about the jewelry or the mansion, but my imagination isn’t great enough to create a sculptural beauty like you.”

<You’re saying that so firmly?>

The man burst out laughing as if he was bewildered. Seora felt strange because the man looked somewhat happy.

<Whether it’s a dream or whatever, I’m glad your imagination didn’t make this place. Because I am the only person here, if it were your imagination that locked me up in this mansion alone, it would have been a little scary.>

The man’s long, graceful fingers grabbed a handful of the jewels on the cabinet. Seeing the well-groomed fingers that would look good when playing the violin blended with the jewels, Seora’s throat felt parched.

“Looking at it now, I can’t say that that is not my taste...? A beautiful man locked in a mansion full of jewelry. I kind of want that...”

Gulp. I’m drooling again. As Seora avoided his gaze and pressed her lower lip, the man put on a sullen expression.

Hmmm. I don’t want to be labeled a strange person by a beauty, but I think I’ve already screwed up.

“If this is not my imagination, where the hell is this place? What’s your name?”

<After hearing what you said, I think I’ll be in big trouble if I tell you.>

“Ah! It was a joke, of course. Just a joke.”

<It didn’t look like that at all.>

Seora avoided his gaze again without saying a word. The beauty is quick-witted.

<You’re really good at lying. So why do you want to know that? Do you usually ask people in your dreams?>

“You never know. What if I have the same dream again if I call your name every night? There is a saying that it will come true if you earnestly desire it.”

<What are you going to do when you see me again?>

“I always want to see beauty over and over again.”

“You’re good at lying and faithful to your desires.”

Again the man burst out laughing. The sound of laughter mixed with mechanical sounds was strange, but Seora felt like she was getting along with the man for some reason.

<Then you must be very disappointed. You see, there’s nothing I can teach you.>
