ED: Cheerycheri



8. Where’s the Love Line?

“...Yes.” Baek Si Hoo answered coldly.

His face seemed to throb again when he thought about that time. Baek Si Hoo gritted his teeth.

“Hmm.”

A trace of amusement flashed across Raisu’s face. It was the summoner’s summon who had broken through Baek Si Hoo’s S-grade poison resistance passive skill and injured him.

“That’s a very tempting summon.”

Raisu’s blue eyes glinted with greed. He was the type of person that was only satisfied when he had everything he desired.

There was only one way to take the summon away, it was impossible to take away the summoner’s summon that was registered in the system. The owner who registered the summon has to die and disappear from the system. That was the only way he could tame the summon, who had lost its owner. Of course, the summon who had lost his owner would go berserk, but it would be fun to tame it. Raisu’s eyes shone cruelly.

“It was a summon with an unknown class rank.”

“You couldn’t see its class rank?”

If the rating is unviewable to Baek Si Hoo, an S-class, it means that the summon is an SS-rank or higher. There has been no precedent yet for a summon to be an SS-rank.

Raisu, who was smiling strangely, burst out laughing.

“Ha, is it different this time?”

“Yes?”

“It’s nothing.”

Raisu shook his head and withdrew his hand from tracing Baek Si-hoo’s cheek. The white bubbles slid off Baek Si Hoo’s pale cheeks and dripped onto the carpet.

“Si Hoo-ya.”

“Yes.”

“What do you think about Han Yi-jin?”

“...”

Baek Si Hoo’s eyes, which were calm prior to Raisu’s question, shook violently. The flickering, low chromaticity of the dim lights illuminated Baek Si-hoo’s face with a strange light. Raisu looked at him with an interested expression.

“He hid from Jang Tae-san that he has an S-class auxiliary skill. And—”

“Nooo, not that.”

“...Yes?”

Raisu shook his head and sighed slightly. Raisu’s following words made Baek Si Hoo confused again.

“What does he look like? Pretty? Or cute? What about his hair colour and eye colour? Does he have a mole or dimples?”

“...”

“I don’t want to kill him if he’s lovely.”

Raisu smiled sweetly, expressing his true feelings. It was a cruel and hideous smile, like that of an innocent child squashing a bug to death.

“...I couldn’t secure Han Yi-jin, I apologise.”

Raisu stared at Baek Si Hoo, who was quietly lowering his head, and got up from the bathtub. The bubbling water poured out of the bathtub as he moved.

“Well, that’s fine.”

As he got up, a man standing in the corner approached and put a bathrobe on Raisu’s body. He was oddly dressed in a black suit and a white mask. Raisu naturally put on the bathrobe and got out of the bathtub.

“What about our kids from the Loki Guild?”

Raisu approached a cabinet,took out a bottle of whiskey, and poured it into an ice glass. The dark brown liquid filled the glass and Raisu turned around in a relaxed manner. Baek Si Hoo was still kneeling in front of the bathtub and answered Raisu’s question.

“We’ve retrieved most of the high-ranking hunters.”

“I see.”

Raisu smiled and took a sip of cold whiskey. Raisu slowly closed and opened his eyes as he rolled a strong malt whiskey with over 50% alcohol content in his mouth.

“Move with Evan when he comes back. I think it will be difficult alone.”

“But...!”

Baek Si Hoo showed his disapproval by shaking his head at Raisu’s words. Raisu who saw him approached where Baek Si Hoo was kneeling.

“Si Hoo-ya, I told you.”

[Hello, Han Yi-jin-ssi!]

“Uh, yes...”

[Your voice seems a little sleepy. Were you sleeping?]

“A little...?”

I shook my head and focused on the call. I cleared my throat and asked.

“Hmm, what’s going on?”

[Haha, is it a sign that something happened whenever I call you?]

“I’m hanging up.”

[Oh, wait, wait a minute...]

I put my phone back to my ear again apathetically hearing Sim Dante’s flustered voice.

“So?”

[Haa, I really can’t joke around with Han Yi-jin-ssi.]

“I’ll hang up.”

[Huaa, please don’t do that...]

I raised my body which was buried in the sofa after hearing Sim Dante’s weeping voice.

“What’s going on, really?”

[Ah, did everything you planned to do go well?]

“Well...”

I raised my finger and scratched my chin. In conclusion, everything went well... I’m sure I did well.

“Probably?”

[That’s questionable. You stole so many babies from me... Sobbing.]

“What? Baby, did you have a baby?”

[You’re so mean...]

I received several items from Sim Dante. Starting from the S-grade incubator that hatched Yong-sik, to the A-grade teleportation item used to save Eden. Although there are limitations on teleportation items, they are reliable, so I think I can use them frequently in the future.

“Hey, send me some more teleportation items.”

[No. Do you think I’m DoraeX?]

“Do you want some dorayaki?”

[Forget it!]

“Hmm, if you don’t want to, that’s fine.”

[Sobbing. You’re so mean.]

What am I supposed to do? I only listened to him half-heartedly as I got up from the sofa. Yong-sik, who was biting and sucking on a toy, turned his head at my movement.

[Ah, I received QED-07 well. Thank you for your cooperation, Han Yi-jin-ssi.]

“There’s nothing to be thankful for, just do your research.”

[Yes!]

I approached the water purifier and pressed the button for cold water while pushing a water cup underneath the dispenser. While I was drinking water, Yong-sik came over and rubbed his body against my leg. I played with Yong-sik by moving my feet accordingly.

“How long does it take you to research that?”

[Hmm...]

Sim Dante, who started pondering the question, answered with uncertainty.

[About... a year?]

“What? A year?”

I almost spat out the water I drank. After choking for a while, I raised my voice agitatedly.

“Why is it taking so long?”

[Of course it’s gonna take that long. We need to re-examine the machine itself, re-check the formula arrangement again, and upgrade it. Besides, if you want to return to your original body, you must find the real Han Yi-jin in your own world, right? It’s bound to take a long time.]

Haa, I can’t believe I have to stay in this shitty place for another year. I already have a headache.
