Creating Hidden Endings - Chapter 27

If a person is tired, they can space out for a while, but he is merciless in everything.

 

“I’m thinking about something else for a second. What is it? You’re really not going to tell me?”

 

“…Whoo. He went to prepare to enter the dungeon again.”

 

…That’s it? 

 

He said nothing more as if he really meant to end the conversation with that. It was the same, no matter how much I kept looking. It’s tiring. 

 

“Then can I ask you something other than that?”

 

“If I tell you not to ask, you won’t ask?”

 

“…”

 

Tsk. This sensitive bastard.

 

But he didn’t tell me not to ask, despite what he said. Besides, this was a really important issue.

 

“No, I used the skill for 2 hours earlier, right? But no matter how much I calculate it, it’s impossible. I’m curious as to what happened.”

 

“….”

 

When my question is over, the guy who wanted to lick his lips shuts his mouth completely.

 

Is this Lee Jehee really a loss of words? 

 

I was supposed to be made fun of by the rare sight, but somehow I had an ominous feeling, so I closed my mouth together.

 

What should I say? I want to know, but I feel like I should just pass by without knowing—.

 

The man, who had been covering his lips with his hand like an embarrassed person until that time, suddenly opened his mouth heavily.

 

“I continue to use a potion to fill the mana.”

 

I see. I understand that way. But… How did you use that to the person who was sleeping?

 

“By any chance… Is there any effect of spraying Mana potion on your body?”

 

“…Are you seriously asking?”

 

Lee Jehee raised his head with a face wondering, “What kind of stupid person is this?” That was never the reaction I was hoping for. He had to make a face that I didn’t even know. Certainly!!

 

“….”

 

The guy who was staring at me with his mouth shut like that erased his absurd expression and raised one corner of his mouth sarcastically and asked with a smile.

 

“Aren’t you going to ask me more?”

 

“…Yes.”

 

“Why? I’d be kind enough to answer me.”

 

“I’m not curious anymore. As long as it ended well.”

 

“Hmm.” 

 

[The Master’s mood improves, giving you +1 to ‘Be Loved’.] 

 

C, crazy! Why does he feel happy here? Is he really crazy!? 

 

When I look at him with a shocked face in the status window that suddenly appears, he makes long eyebrows and smiles. On that fox-like face, his downy hair made me goosebumps.

 

“D, don’t do that!”

 

“What do you mean?” 

 

[The Master’s mood improves, giving you +1 to ‘Be Loved’.] 

 

“T, that! Don’t do it! Why at this time…!”

 

“This?”

 

[The Master’s mood improves, giving you +1 to ‘Be Loved’.] 

 

Huh? Wait a minute…?

 

While my expression hardened with embarrassment, Lee Jehee smiled with the desired face that seemed to have eaten at least ten people.

 

“Oh, do you want me to feel bad?” 

 

[Warning: Be Loved is -1 because the master is upset] 

 

[Warning: Be Loved is -1 because the master is upset] 

 

[Warning: Be Loved is -1 because the master is upset] 

 

What is this? After slowly erasing the embarrassed expression, I looked at Lee Jehee with a blank face.

 

Why is this… he controls it depending on what he says…

 

[The Master’s mood improves, giving you +1 to ‘Be Loved’.] 

 

[Warning: Be Loved is -1 because the master is upset] 

 

“… What did you just do?”

 

“What?”

 

“When did you start controlling…”

 

“From the first day? I’ve tried it a few times.”

 

“….”

 

That reminds me of the ‘first day’ Lee Jehee said. The memory of the ridiculous day when I was suddenly summoned while using various ways to remove the ring.

 

At the time, the person who felt crazy took a -3 hook at some point, and the name was more than simply… Huh?

 

I blinked slowly and couldn’t take my eyes off him, and the eyes that had been holding a smile narrowed narrowly. As if I knew it now.

 

“You have to look good, right? To me?”

 

“….”

 

Wow… That dog… That crazy… What kind of punk… Huh? I’m just going to save Han Chorok that’s following me, huh? 

 

That’s why people can’t just live a good life. Fuck.

 

But what power do I have?

 

“What am I… how can I look good to you?”

 

“Do you want to move in? To this house.”

 

“…Yes?” 

 

“It’s hard to go back and forth every night. You said that if you lived in a house like this, you wouldn’t have any other wishes?”

 

That’s what I said to make you feel better. Why would I live in someone else’s house uncomfortably? I have to leave my spacious house behind and even live with a black guy, why me?

 

It was such a ridiculous proposal that I couldn’t even laugh.

 

“I’m not? I’m not tired at all though? I’m fine. I’ll keep going back and forth.”

 

“Really? Then you can do that.”

 

 As if he was telling me to take care of it, he stretched out on the sofa again and closed his eyes.

 

He threw a huge rock into a person’s heart, causing a wave-like stir, and I—.

 

I took a long breath and leaned back on the sofa with him, looking at the side of his clear face with his eyes closed. I stared blankly at the high ceiling, my eyes so shaky that opening them hurt. 

 

I’m so tired.

 

*****

 

Even before the fatigue was relieved, I followed Lee Jehee to the dungeon and got into the car. As when I came, I nodded with my head against the window as we headed to Junggye-dong in the car he was driving.

 

How long did I doze off? I woke up surprised by the silence around me. I quickly lifted my head and looked around, and Lee Je-hee, who was sitting in the driver’s seat with his eyes closed, lifted his eyelids.

 

“Are you awake?” 

 

“…How long did I sleep?”

 

“You haven’t been sleeping long, so get off as you wake up. Chorok will arrive soon.”

 

“…”

 

What is it, he should wake me up when we arrive, or why don’t you wake me up and make me feel sorry for the people?

 

It was originally a bit relaxed, but it didn’t look like a person who just woke up. When he woke up, he would save his words for a while, as if he enjoyed the lingering feeling.

 

Well, come to think of it, a person who had been suffering from insomnia all along couldn’t have slept in this short time.

 

After confirming that I woke up, I followed Lee Jehee as he got out of the car and stepped forward.

 

While looking around the park, which he is familiar with for the second time, Lee Jehee, who is standing in front of the huge iron gate, stands still and looks at the gate. It was past 6 in the morning, and the sun rose from afar, illuminating the surroundings so I could see them better.

 

…Ha. It is only when I have that kind of atmosphere that I can become the main character.

 

With the background of the dawn that defeats the black sky, light burns and flows along its body.

 

It was a time when I was looking at the guy who gave off an atmosphere that seemed to be immersed in deep contemplation, even though he had an expression like he had no particular thought, with half jealousy and half admiration. A car was heard not far away, and a black car was approaching.

 

Is that punk Han Chorok? 

 

I was curious about what they had prepared to enter the dungeon, so I carefully looked at the approaching car.

 

After a while, a black car stopped behind Lee Jehee’s car. Then, the door of the car with the engine turned off opened and a man got out. But it wasn’t just one, it was two.

 

After Chorok from the driver’s seat easily ignored it, he turned to the person who got off the back seat. And at that moment, I swallowed my breath in surprise.

  

 

“Hey, it’s been a while.”

 

“Yeah. Thanks for coming.”

 

…Oh my! It’s Shin Sora! Shin Sora is here!

 

Shin Sora, who got out of the car and approached Lee Jehee, happily hits his forearms with her fist. Shin Sora, who had a gentle impression with a short bob that fluttered over her shoulders, a small face, and round eyes, was exactly what I saw in the game.

 

I didn’t know I’d see Shin Sora with my own eyes!

 

“Why are you so distracted?”

 

“…Huh?”

 

It was when I was staring blankly at Lee Jehee, who was greeted by Shin Sora with an annoyed face, and Shin Sora, who used her fists without hesitation.

 

Han Chorok, who I didn’t know when he came, spoke to me. For some reason, I wanted to talk to him first, but the tone bothered me, so I came to my senses and opened my eyes.

 

“What do you mean distracted?” 

 

“Get your mind right. It’s not a typical C-grade dungeon.”

 

“That’s why have you ever thought about not taking me to that dangerous dungeon? Then it’ll be solved easily. You don’t have to carry a load.”

 

At that moment, Lee Jehee, who was talking to Shin Sora, and Han Chorok, who was passing by me with a displeased face, all stopped and hardened.  Following that, I definitely saw the light in the gaze that looked at me that said there was no such thing. However, they did not readily admit their mistakes.

 

“For what do you think we come to this dungeon?”

 

Chorok said something ridiculous.

 

Who do you think it’s because of? It’s because of your master who’s confident that he’ll level me up.

 

I wonder if that’s what I’m talking about now, so I stare at him to see if he has a conscience, and he turns his head away from my gaze.

 

“You have no conscience.”

 

Then, Lee Jehee, who has the least conscience among us, spoke nonsense.

 

I just didn’t think about it, so I just need to say that to rest outside. Isn’t it because you don’t want to admit it?

 

“No, it’s just…!”

 

“Who’s this person?”

 

As soon as I was about to shout, please leave me behind, an unfamiliar face suddenly approached me. Surprised by the pretty face with amazing features, I quickly tilted my upper body back. I was so surprised that I was at a loss for words.
