Chapter 94 - How to Enjoy Vacation (10)
I decided to calm down after reading the comments.
Let’s think calmly.
There’s nothing bad about having the points increasing.
Na Yuhan is no longer showing symptoms of dependence on Kang Nahyun like before.
Also, he didn’t say a single word in his inner description that he likes me, so he doesn’t like me.
The comments just think I’m the main heroine and pour points into me.
Then…
Isn’t this a gain?
Since I’m going to be with Na Yuhan in the long run anyway, wouldn’t it be okay to change the direction of the plan to one where I can earn a lot of meta points as the main heroine?
I thought for a while, and decided to read the rest of the appearance part and think about it.
After crying in front of Nahyun, I returned to the hotel feeling completely exhausted.
That guy Park Siwoo, he’s not awake, right?
I thought to myself as I held up my card key in front of the room I shared with Park Siwoo.
“You’re here?”
My worries became reality. Park Siwoo, who was standing by the window and looking at the sea, turned to me and flatly spoke.
“You must have cried. I’ll prepare an ice pack for you.”
“Ah, thanks.”
I thanked him as I accepted the ice pack he handed me.
He calmly nodded.
Isn’t he asking me something? It seemed like he had something to ask, though.
When I glanced at him, Park Siwoo looked down at my device and said,
“I won’t ask. I think you’ve already been comforted enough.”
I flinched.
And now that I think about him, this guy. He was looking toward the glass window where the sea was visible.
No way…
“Did you see it?”
“Because I saw it.”
Park Siwoo answered my question indifferently and turned to me.
“There’s one more thing I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“What do you think about Nahyun?”
I was taken aback by the sudden question.
About Nahyun…
I thought deeply about my feelings for her.
My ally. Someone trustworthy. Someone who is always kind, and whom I want to always have by my side.
Now that I think about it…
[Why won’t it work?]
The way she spoke earlier was a little different, and that felt awesome too.
A person who shines and shines, and someone I want to have.
Yeah, maybe this feeling is—
“A person I admire… isn’t she, I wonder.”
—It must be admiration.
After hearing what I said, Park Siwoo was silent for a moment, then let out a small sigh and said.
“…If you still think that way, then that’s fine.”
‘Still’? What does that mean?
I felt uncomfortable with his words and tried to ask again, yet Park Siwoo said he was going to sleep and passed me by, going into his room.
In the end, I went into my room with a feeling of uneasiness and prepared to sleep.
Thinking that I would meet Nahyun again tomorrow, my mood suddenly got better.
…It’s a strange feeling.

F*ck author

It comes to be like this kkkk?
ㅇㅇ
I like you! Eh, nandatte?
ㅇㅇ
Ah f*ck frustrating;;;
Hmm. Admiration. It’s fair enough?
Anyway, fortunately, Na Yuhan doesn’t seem to have romantic feelings for me.
After that, I briefly looked over the appearance parts.
Nothing much. At most, it was like the physiological reaction from the swimming lesson earlier?—that could be passed over as a happening.
Anyway, the sudden increase in meta point seemed to be due to the fact that the character Kang Nahyun took on a very important position in <Academy’s F-Class Commander>.
Then let’s just maintain the main heroine position and collect meta point. The more, the better.
That’s how I revised my future plans.
Just as I was finishing my thoughts, Team 2 came out as if they had finished going around the mansion.
“Nyahahaha—! It was fun!”
“There were a lot of holes.”
Team 2 seemed to really enjoy the eerie atmosphere.
Holes, well… Shin Baran must have made those with the arrows earlier.
“We’re next!”
I smiled and linked arms with Na Yuhan.
Na Yuhan flinched but nodded silently and walked in step with me into the mansion where our seniors had just left.
“Ugh…”
…I felt Na Yuri’s jealous gaze, but I quietly brushed it off.
The mansion we entered without incident was very dark, perhaps because there were no lights.
If it weren’t for the holes Shin Baran made while firing arrows earlier, it would have been hard to see in front of us since not a single ray of sunlight would have come in.
We walked for a long time, arms linked, in silence.
There wasn’t much tension. Both I and Na Yuhan knew that nothing would appear, and in fact, nothing did.
In the midst of that monotonous silence, Na Yuhan opened his mouth.
“… What I told you last night. Do you remember?”
“Yeah! Why?”
“If you’re a reincarnator… That, here… um,”
He continued, hesitating as if he was hesitating.
“Do you know about the game called <The Tower and Warrior Story>?”
“What is that?”
I asked Na Yuhan, pretending not to know.
Of course I know about the game. However, since all the information I know about the game is fragmentary information I gained through <Academy’s F-Class Commander>, if I say I know about the game itself, it might feel awkward in some details.
And I’m also planning to hide the fact that I know something.
Na Yuhan was silent for a moment at my question, and then said.
“It’s a game based on this world. It was the game I played before I came to this world.”
“Whoa, really? Interesting! To think that there’s such a game!”
“Is that so? …That’s why I know a lot about this world.”
“I see…! That’s great, how cool, Yuhan!”
I used the ‘Wow, OO-kun is amazing!’ tactic for the first time in a long time.
Na Yuhan avoided my gaze as if embarrassed by my shining eyes.
“…It’s nothing.”
“No. It’s amazing! You studied hard so you know it well, right?”
His face flushed slightly at my words.
He coughed in embarrassment and soon said what he originally wanted to say.
“Hmm, ahem, anyway, this might be shocking to you who doesn’t know the content of the game, but… this world is about to end.”
I knew that too.
However, I couldn’t show it, so I opened my eyes wide as if I had suddenly encountered bad news and made a surprised expression with all my might.
“…What?”
“…You might not believe it, but it’s true. The person who created this game called me to this world to prevent a tragedy.”
“End, you say…”
I looked at him as if I was really confused and afraid of the heavy reality that had suddenly come upon me. He, who had a similarly pained expression on his face as he watched me, bit his lips.
Well, I think I’ve been confused enough.
Now I should slowly get out of here and give the protagonist some light. Like a sunshine.
I pretended to be lost in thought, but soon looked up at him with eyes that had made up their minds.
“What should we do to prevent destruction?”
“…What?”
“Yuhan came to this world to prevent destruction. So, if I help you, the destruction can be prevented, right?”
At my words, Na Yuhan looked surprised, as if something unexpected had popped out of a surprise box.
Then, his face distorted strangely, then he smiled gently.
“…That’s right, it can be prevented. No, it will definitely be prevented.”
“Yeah. Yuhan can do it. I will work hard to help you too!”
I smiled brightly and agreed with his words.
Various complicated emotions were fluctuating in Na Yuhan’s eyes. He slowly closed his eyes. When he finally opened his eyes again, a firm determination filled his eyes.
“First, we need to know about the ‘Keys of the Six Races’.”
“Keys of the Six Races?”
“Yes. They’re the keys to the tower that symbolize each race, used to seal the tower’s doors. With those keys, you can enter and exit the tower, and through some kind of ritual, they have the power to unseal the tower’s doors sealed by those keys and pour out monsters.”
“Unsealing the tower and pouring out monsters… That’s horrible.”
“That’s right. That’s why those keys must never be misused. That’s why they were sealed in the dungeon that guarded them.”
He paused for a moment and took out the Key of the Water Race from his inventory.
“Well, although we unsealed one of them.”
“Huh…? HUH?! We weren’t supposed to clear that dungeon?!”
“If we didn’t clear it, we would have died, so there was nothing we could do.”
You’re kidding. Didn’t you just collect all the hidden pieces from the game at the beginning and go around getting keys?
I thought of Na Yuhan in <Academy’s F-Class Commander>, who had kept the keys to use later before meeting Oracle.
For a moment, I almost lost control of my expression, but who am I? A professional acting expert in sunshine characters. I quickly fixed my facial muscles.
Na Yuhan said, twirling the beastmen key around on his finger.
“And anyway, it was too late once that gate appeared.”
“Why?”
“The fact that the passage to the dungeon where the key was sealed has opened means that the seal of that dungeon has been broken. Eventually, someone must have cleared it and taken the key.”
“I see…”
Na Yuhan said that and put the beastmen key back into his inventory, sighing softly.
“The bigger problem is that once the dungeon seal starts to collapse, it will collapse in a chain reaction. Other key dungeons will appear soon.”
“Ah…”
“So we have to clear the key dungeons and get the keys before the others.”
“Got it!”
I clenched my fists vigorously and made a gesture of strength.
It had been a while since I did this, but I still didn’t want to do it…
Was this the end of the explanation? I tried to relax a little.
“…That would have been the case. But something strange happened.”
Before Na Yuhan could say that.
“The seventh key appeared.”
Ah, shit.
Was this a build-up to steal my key?
