Relife Player 343
[Chapter 104]
[A monster with worn out emotions (8)]
There’s no way you don’t know.
I knew it from long ago.
Even the dullest person would not be able to notice what kind of heart she had, who had been relying on him since she was a child.
Not to mention, he was by no means a dull person.
It was just that I was deliberately pretending not to know.
‘Don’t pretend you don’t know.’
Serena had said this before.
Then he realized that she had seen through him.
At the same time, not only her, but probably others noticed as well.
Jeong Ha-yang must have noticed.
Maybe a long time before Serena.
Even so, she would have been waiting until the time when she showed her crush and looked back at her.
Then I couldn’t stand it any longer.
─I really like you.
i like you. I really like you.
A heart pure enough to be sorry to the point of being grateful.
Her confession was not buried even in the sound of firecrackers.
The voice that vomits the feeling of liking someone is full of trembling, but it never dissipates without any repercussion.
─What? I can not hear well!!
Even so, Eunha lied.
A sweet lie to him, but a cruel lie to her.
No, lies are just lies.
There are no sweet lies.
There is only a lie that is only self-gratification.
And people called it hypocrisy.
-I’m sorry.
Hayao’s eyes widened greatly.
He could well guess how she was feeling.
Just as she had watched him for a long time, he had watched her for a long time.
Even so, he drove a nail into the heart she had been harboring for a long time.
So naive, so naive.
As if you didn’t hear anything.
...No nothing.
By the time the firecrackers stopped.
Eventually, she hid her shaking eyes and shook her head helplessly.
It was as he expected.
He was sure that if he stuck to this attitude to the end, she wouldn’t speak again.
“.......”
There was only awkwardness.
People who had been looking up at the night sky moved their steps.
The crowd continued to flow, and the two men only looked at each other from an awkward distance.
Come to think of it, Subin must have been working instead of us... I think we need to change things now. I’m going... I’m going to change it, but what will you do with Eunha?
Ehehe Jeong Ha-yang smiles and says.
She couldn’t even look at him directly, and she poured out long words in an instant.
As if trying to cover up the awkwardness.
I have an appointment, so I’ll come later. Hayang, you go first. ... Yes then I’ll be there first.
He quickly nodded and ran away without looking back.
Left alone, Eun-ha stood in place to see her off as she grew farther and farther away.
People were on their way.
Their time continues to flow, but I felt as if my own time had stopped in the past.
They were all laughing happily, but he didn’t know why they were laughing so happily.
The world is harsh and the reality is cruel, so you never know when you will die.
The future is always unpredictable, and living in the present is so exhausting.
-Master.
uh.
Eunha left there.
Because I don’t want to be there anymore.
There was also a promise.
In the woods near the dormitory, quite far from the cultural festival area.
Eun-ha, who arrived at the rendezvous point, answered the call of < Leaving >, which eventually appeared somewhere in the forest.
How...
I really don’t understand. Why do you kick the confession of a woman who comes in on your own like that? yes? You think I didn’t notice?
.......
Twenty-five, interrupting Eunha’s words and voicing his feverish < gasp >.
It seems that he was watching what happened a while ago up close.
Even before his return as a Ranger, he excelled as a Ranger, and was good at concealment magic. Furthermore, since he had developed his physical abilities through experiments on his body, it would not have been too difficult to eavesdrop on him from a distance.
From what I’ve seen, that kid will grow up to be an incredibly pretty kid later on. The owner just dumped the confession of a woman who is going to get a lot of men’s attention right now. Master, do you not like men?
do you want to die?
no.
Twenty-five pretend to close the zipper at Eunha’s one word.
Combing his long hair, he sighed and continued.
Jeong Ha-yang. A child who is a direct descendant of Alice Group and is loved and trusted by the executives including Min Jun-shik, the chairman of Alice Group, even though she is not related by blood. A promising player who entered the academy and is interested in the current clan based on the vast amount of mana in his body.
...I never said to investigate the people around me. Wouldn’t it be nice to figure out what kind of people are around you and if there are people who could be a threat? Well, I’ll ask for permission in the future.
I must have tried to find my weakness.
child indeed The master’s son is not really that kind of person.
Above all—
Twenty-five spoke to Eunha, who was standing there blankly.
He put his hand on his hip and had a worried face.
-Is the information of the person you are looking for really ‘written like that’?
.......
Eunha couldn’t answer.
Now he couldn’t boast that he knew Lee Yu-jeong better than anyone else in the world.
Is it her real name?
Is her hometown Seoul?
Is her date of birth correct?
and so on.
If he’s from the slums, he might not be on the social register. For people from the slums, it is very common for people from the slums to not have a family register.
no it won’t be
Eunha quickly denied it.
Her existence is probably recorded in the resident register.
Would she have been able to enter the academy without it?
When Eunha denied it, twenty-five thought for a moment before replying.
Then I don’t know if the date of birth is different. Why is there a case where the birth registration is delayed and the birthday on the resident registration is different from the actual birthday? Who in the world is like that...
Our master really knows nothing about this. Didn’t you know that such a thing is not uncommon in the case of illegitimate children? How common these days are people who give birth to a child in a quiet place and show the child to a man to become a concubine.... After all, I’m sure I was born that way. Well, even now, I don’t have a resident registration.
.......
A somewhat credible hypothesis.
Eunha recalled that possibility.
But in his previous life he had never been told that she was someone’s illegitimate child.
It was such a leapfrog hypothesis.
It’s just one of many possibilities.
Eunha immediately shook her head.
It was just one of the reasons why I couldn’t find her.
He chose not to become too preoccupied with one hypothesis so as not to narrow his thinking. It’s about doing
what needs to be done first
.
It is to search nationwide for Lee Yu-jeong, who was born in the same year as herself and whose birthday falls on September 1st.
There is a limit to what you can find with mana.
If Yujeong is properly controlling the mana in her body, it would be hard to find even as a gift.
If only I could know the mana in her body.
Then, even if she uses concealment magic or protection magic, her location will be able to be identified.
Eunha felt sorry for Naji.
It was then.
By the way, master. What the hell is in that pocket?
Why is it a handkerchief? The mana of the mysterious spell has been hovering around the master since earlier. Hmm... It looks easy from the outside, but if you look closely, it’s made up of a complicated structure. yes?
Eun-ha showed the handkerchief that Lee Yu-chun had given her.
A towel shaped like an evening primrose.
It was Eunha’s new handkerchief made by Lee Yoocheon at the request of her sister.
A handkerchief that increases mana resistance. In addition, the magic that activates a considerable level of protection magic the moment mana is injected was engraved.
I wanted to follow suit too...
but in the end I couldn’t.
Eunha smiled bitterly.
It was because, while examining the spell engraved on the handkerchief, he ended up raising both hands in an overly complex spell.
Moreover, it seemed that the formula contained a formula that only the creator himself could understand.
Hmmm... It’s a very sophisticated workmanship. If there were traces of mana in this way, it would be easy to find.
okay? Yes, the maker of this handkerchief is now at 5 o’clock from here. Judging by the location, it seems that it did not cross the Han River. But what is it... Why are there layers of protection magic around me?
Twenty-five got irritated trying to find out who made the handkerchief.
It seemed that someone else’s magic interfered in the middle.
Still, he faltered that he knew the exact location.
What do you do when you know Yoochun hyung’s house address?
Eunha sighed.
In the end, nothing worked.
go back now Even if I investigate further here, nothing will come out.
why. After walking around the academy, it was nice to be able to investigate how popular the owner is and his relationships with women.
don’t mess around
yes.
Twenty-five pretending to close the zipper.
Eun-ha left him behind and left the forest without anyone.
Under a starless night sky.
He walked along the side of the road, completely away from the crowds.
Deciding to follow him, < Tteobeori > quietly moved his feet.
Oops... Maybe my master’s iron wall is so high that only the girls will have a hard time
.
He sighed as he turned to the place he was supposed to return to.
It would be nice if there was someone who could break down the master’s iron wall
.
A pitch-black night with nothing.
But even in the midst of it, the stars were dimly shining.
It’s just that the light is so small that you look up at the night sky and say there are no stars.
There is no starless night in the world.
Wasn’t the person who proved that his own owner?
There must be someone like that somewhere.
if there is such a person
He will swear allegiance to her as he swore to his master.
< Shattering >, covering up nine lies in order to tell the one truth, laughed.
