Chapter 65: The great principle of Harem

Yoo Seodam didn’t miss his chance when he saw Ha Sun-young was still in a state of shock.

“Calm down, Miss Ha Sun-young.”

“Uh, uh yeah. Yeah.”

“Your opinion about Dharma has changed, right? And you’re very confused right now, aren’t you?”

“How did you know?”

When she asked in embarrassment, Yoo Seodam replied in a calm tone.

“Miss Ha Sun-young, would you believe me if I said that there’s an ability that can force a person to fall in love with you?”

“That kind of ability can’t exist in the world.”

“Are you really sure? There are tens of thousands of people on earth who crossed over to Murim and learned Mugong. There are even hunters who can shoot beams out of their hands. Isn’t it a world where it’s harder to find something that isn’t realistic?”

“That’s…. correct.”

Sun-young pondered for a while and then looked at me carefully.

“Doesn’t that mean… No way..”

“Yes. It’s one of Dharma’s abilities. And I can erase it.”

“…..!”

It was really hard to believe. Ha Sun-young grabbed her head and shook it.

She spent years trying to find Dharma. It was because of her love for Dharma. But how confusing would it be to have only grudges left after her love melted like snow?

She doubted herself and felt a sense of betrayal towards the Dharma

Yoo Seodam got another chance here.

“If he wanted to exploit this ability, he could have taken everything his target had. Property, power, and even her body, along with the woman’s mind.”

“Ah…”

Of course, what Yoo seodam said wasn’t entirely true.

[Charm(SS): Opposite sex will naturally fall in love with you. If you try to use this power to satisfy your purpose and pleasure, the effect will disappear.]

It was also one of the main characters’ cliches.

It was a law that a male protagonist always had several women around him. But, he must not know or care about them. In other words, they do not return the woman’s heart. In many ways, this part is also quite awful.

Of course, not every harem in the world was unreasonable. There must be some stories with a decent harem story, but most of them were like this. 

Ha Sun-young closed her mouth and began to worry. Yoo Seodam didn’t open his mouth any more. From here on out, it was a problem where she had to worry about and make up her mind.

Soon, Ha Sun-young asked me with a firm expression.

“You, you know who Dharma is, don’t you?”

“Roughly.”

“I want to find Dharma.”

“For the same reason as before?”

“No.”

Ha Sun-young bit her bottom lip tightly. Unlike her nickname ‘Geom-hee’, she had a quite small stature and young appearances, but there’s a very hideous leak out from her body. Which was not good for the situation.

“I’m going to meet Dharma and ask if he really has that ability? Did he play with my heart?”

“Oh..”

If she does that, Geom-hee might lose her lives.

“That’s not possible. Instead, I can show you the evidence.”

* * *

Last night, a gate was opened in the middle of downtown Seoul, and a SS-rank monster appeared from the gate.

Thankfully, the victim count was zero. It was said that a man named Hong Yeop-sa, a reclusive hunter, came and handled it. Numerous guilds, media outlets and netizens came to the scene to confirm the existence of Hong Yeop-sa, which was all shrouded in mystery, but they couldn’t find anything.

Except for ‘Ye Sa-hye’, a hunting support student who happened to be standing there, there were no other witnesses.

“You really don’t remember anything?”

“Yes..”

Ye Sa-hye was completely into the man who saved her last night, but she could not tell his face or name. So there was nothing to answer for the police interrogation. The police shook their heads as if they were frustrated but couldn’t help it. 

The mysterious hunter Hong Yeop-sa. The man, who started working a few years ago, quietly dealt with the difficult situation and then disappeared. The police had to admit that he could no longer be chased by the police technology alone.

“Oh, she’s completely in love, too.”

“Is he that handsome?”

“Don’t mention it. She said his face was way better than any celebrity.”

Puk!

“Keuk!”

“Keuk!”

As detectives whispering behind the scenes, Captain Kim hit them five times on the head.

“You idiots. You don’t even know his face. How do you know that he’s handsome? Aren’t you guys busy?”

“Yes!”

“We are going captain.!”

Watching them disappear quickly, Captain Kim approached Ye Sa-hye.

“Miss Sa-hye. You really don’t remember?”

“I’m going crazy because I want to remember. I want to find it, but I can’t.”

“Oh, I see.”

Judging that it was no longer necessary to hold onto Ye Sa-hye more, Kim asked her a few pre-functionary questions as instructed and then let her go.

Ye Sa-hye, who came out of the police station, kept remembering last night’s dreamlike events.

His side, which was softly reflected in the moonlight, was literally like a prince charming on a white horse.

“Excuse me.”

When she thought about it again, he seemed a little bit too much to be real.

Ye Sa-hye became even more embarrassed when suddenly, her heart calmed down and the flowers that filled her head disappeared.

“Excuse me?”

“Yes, yes?”

Surprised by being called out suddenly, Ye Sa-hye looked to the side. She found a young woman with a cute face and a man who she seemed to have seen somewhere.

“Are you Ye Sa-hye, who met Hong Yeop-sa last night?”

“Oh, yes.”

When Ye Sa-hye expression hardened, Yoo Seodam shook his hand to make her not misunderstand their intentions.

“We want to talk to you about…”

He spoke to Ye Sa-hye in a very small yet careful voice.

“I can make you meet Hong Yeop-sa. What do you say? Do you want to go right now?”

“Yes? Really?”

“Yes, but it’s now or never. There won’t be another chance.”

Ye Sa-hye, who fell in love with Hong Yeop-sa, would naturally nod her head here. However, for some reason, Ye Sa-hye’s heart had calmed down, and some pretty realistic worries sprouted in her mind.

“Uh, but… I have to submit something urgently to the school. Can we go a little later?”

At her answer Yoo Seodam smiled.

‘As expected.’

For Ha Sun-young and Yoo Seo-dam, who watched Ye Sa-hye from inside the police station. It was easy to see that she had a crush on Hong Yeop-sa.

But looking at her reaction now, wasn’t it totally different?

It was a common cliché to fall in love with someone who saved you. Some people easily mistake their emotions when they are in a precarious situation.

But Hong Yeop-sa, or Lee Dong-joon, was a little too much. 

There had been so many crises in recent years, and there were always women in those places, and all the women would fall in love with him. It would be okay if Lee Dong-joon was incredibly handsome. But that wasn’t the case.

In other words, since the crisis itself was created by his charm skill and Protagonist correction, it meant that everything in the women’s minds was not real.

‘Maybe most of the women around Lee Dong-joon are tied up due to the effect of his charm skill.’

His daughter, Shin Hye-ji, seemed to stick with him because she had a real bond with him. Yoo Seodam was sure that his guess was on point. While thinking so, Yoo Seodam looked at his side.

Ha Sun-young pupils were visibly shaking. She was shocked to see another woman being freed from the charm influence right in front of her eyes.

“It doesn’t make any sense…”

Ha Sun-young clenched her fist tightly. Now she was sure, and the feeling of love was now replaced with resentment. 

But it was not the time yet. 

“Calm down, you know you can’t do it alone.”

“I know, but what can I do? people from Murim must pay back the grudge they received.” 

“Miss Ha Sun-young.”

Yoo Seodam grabbed her shoulders and looked into her eyes.

“There are many people who have grudges against Dharma besides you.”

“One’s grudge must be resolved by themselves…”

“When Cheonma died, did she go alone? Or did all warriors from Murim come out?”

“······!”

“I think the current situation is similar to what happened at Murim at that time. So, let your anger go away now.”

“Then…”

Ha Sun-young looked at Yoo Seodam as firmly as she could.

“What the hell do I need to do?”

“We need to work together. Search the world for those who have a grudge against Dharma. It would be better if we could find the 3 kings and 6 emperors as well as Cheonma who also has a grudge against Dharma.”

“You are right.”

Yoo seodam wasn’t aware of those facts, then, he continued, thinking he had obtained good information.

“Just like how the government doesn’t involve itself in matters concerning Murim

I am also thinking of remaining neutral.”

We’re going to block the fire that might happen in the future.

“But Ha Sun-young, I want you to help me in ‘business’ way.”

“What’s the meaning of this ‘business’?”

“Do you know that I’m creating a guild?”

“Oh, yes. So what?”

“Come into my guild. I’d like to hire you.”

“Why? I can’t do anything because of the ban.”

Seodam was also concerned about that part. However, he was someone who could freely travel around dimension, so he thought there would be some knowledge related to the ban. Yoo Seodam was willing to go through that hardship for someone as talented as Geom-hee.

“I’ll take care of the ban as soon as possible.”

“The ban?”

“Yes. I will help you remove the ban and set the stage for your revenge. But I want you to lend me your strength and knowledge.”

This was their trade. In fact, Seodam gained more than Ha Sun-young, but it would be a waste for Ha Sun-young, who was tied to the ban, to refuse.

Ha Sun-young, who had been agonizing for a while, finally nodded. Yoo Seodam smiled satisfactorily at her response and turned his head this time to meet Ye Sa-hye’s eyes. She finally recognized Yoo Seodam’s face after searching on her smartphone, she said, ‘Ahhhhh! You are!’ lifted his index finger.

“Miss Ye Sa-hye. You were probably a hunter wannabe, right?”

“Ho, How did you know? Only my mom knows that..”

“It’s just a guess and right now you are desperately studying to be a hunting supporter because you don’t have superpowers.”

“Oh, my. How did you know?”

How did Yoo seodam know?

It was so obvious for him.

Ye Sa-hye, a girl in her 20s who was devastated by the fact that she couldn’t be a hunter. 

One day, she finds herself in a dangerous situation. And then she fell in love with Hong Yeop-sa, who saved her. But then they couldn’t meet anymore. Then Ye Sa-hye met me who happened to meet Lee Dong-joon and found out that he was Hong Yeop-sa. With the help of my beloved System, I taught her to be a fighter to realize her dream!

Probably that was the rough summary of Ye Sa-hye cliché storyline.

‘I’m glad I read martial arts novels from time to time.’

Yoo seodam know it all by reading the first half of the martial arts novel. Ye Sa-hye’s story was as common as a cliché where the protagonist falls on a cliff and somehow finds a legendary elixir, or when the protagonist gets strength by scraping moss inside a cave somewhere only they know.

So..

“You don’t have to be a hunting supporter. You still want to be Hunter, don’t you?”

“Ye, Yes. That’s right.”

“Then let’s be a Hunter, without having anything to worry about.”

“Yes? But I don’t have superpowers.”

Yoo Seodam knew that word would come out and laughed.

“Did you watch TV? I’m the one who makes those incompetent hunters jump in happines.”

“Ah!!”

Perhaps Ye Sa-hye had a lot of talents related to swordsmanship because she was connected to Lee Dong-joon, a Mugong protagonist.

And Geom-hee used to think she would marry Lee Dong-joon in the future.

In other words, these women were cliché’s seed that had not yet unfolded.

“Well, why don’t we go to the cafe and have a little chat?”

And from now on, Yoo Seodam was going to reap the seeds of the cliche that the main character was sowing.
