Weekend Date in the Shadow of the Heavenly Demon
The final weekend of the academy was planned to end with a date with Yuna.
Right now, the only things I could do were waiting for the right moment and investigating lightning every night. With time still on my side, there really was nothing else I could do except spend it properly.
Well, whether it was like that or not, the time I spent with Yuna was always incredibly enjoyable. But it wasn't always just fun.
"Wow...."
Those trashy guys staring at Yuna with sticky, lustful eyes right now were the reason.
Click.
"Tsk! Cheon-seong, you again. I told you not to do that."
Shooting murderous intent at the trash, I glared at him, and Yuna noticed and scolded me.
"...But that guy."
"I know that too. I know you're doing this for me, Cheon-seong. But you can't do it. Understand?"
"...Yeah."
I answered reluctantly to Yuna's words, and she smiled brightly while stroking my head.
"Good boy, good boy. Our Cheon-seong."
"...More."
Treating me like a kid didn't bother me or make me angry, but I couldn't figure out why it felt so good when Yuna or Beatrice did it.
"Well, then let's go."
"Okay, Yuna."
I wished Yuna would keep petting my head a little longer, but the surroundings were the surroundings, and Yuna's cheeks turning slightly red from embarrassment was a pity. Still, I stopped there and enjoyed the date with Yuna once more.
"Eh, what? It's Yuna! Hi! We meet here, what a coincidence!"
"Hi, Hwa-young, and it's been a while, Hwa-ran."
"Ah, hello, Yuna."
And now... no more words. I wasn't sick of it at all, and this time they had all appeared at once.
"Hey~! You found some friends but didn't say anything?"
"G, ah... hello. H, Heavenly Demon... sir."
Yuna's question to me about having no words at all made me correct one thing.
"I never thought of you as friends...""Cheon-seong?""... I didn't. Yeah, nice to meet you."
She corrected me again while I was trying to correct it.
"Hahaha! You still can't move when it comes to Yuna? I bet you'll get caught by Yuna and end up living like that."
Yoo Hwa-young laughed loudly, belly shaking, completely ignoring the surrounding stares, and spoke to me.
Like living while caught by Yuna... hahaha
"That doesn't sound bad."
If such a life were given to me, it would be nothing but an impossible fantasy.
"O~~What? So you're thinking about marrying Yuna?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hey~ Yuna, she said that. What do you think?"
"U, ugh! Hwa-young, you really!"
Yuna's face turned bright red in response to Hwa-young's question, and she shouted at her while chasing her.
Hwa-young dodged around Cheon-seong's area while laughing at such Yuna, and Yuna chased after her, telling her to stand there...
Thud!
"What exactly is your thinking behind circling around me while running away?"
"Ah! Ya, ya! Let go right now!"
"Hwa-young!!"
"Aaaah! Yuna! Sorry! Sorry! Just a moment kyaah!"
Hwa-young, who had been running around Cheon-seong's area pretending to be on the good side, stopped at Cheon-seong's hand and was caught by Yuna. Yuna stretched Hwa-young's cheeks like chewing gum and poured out her embarrassment.
"L, hello."
While watching Yuna play clay with Yoo Hwa-young like that, Dang Hwa-ran secretly approached from the side and greeted me again.
"I already greeted you earlier. Why do it again?"
"Ah, right. Hehe."
Yuna ignored Dang Hwa-ran's smile and wondered why this girl was acting strange today.
"I, yesterday... what did you do? I was training my poison resistance, and also..."
I remembered she wasn't the type to talk much, yet the girl suddenly became extremely talkative.
"And, do you like, poison? The poison I have..."
"Enough. I get it, so stop talking. This is driving me crazy."
"Ah... yes. Sorry."
"Hwa-young, you really. Don't do that again next time."
"Tsk, got it. I was just teasing because you two seem close. Really."
Dang Hwa-ran's noisy chatter stopped only after I told her to stop, and at that moment it seemed Yuna's side was also over, so I thought I should quickly distance myself from these noisy guys, but... yeah, these idiots wouldn't just leave.
"Yuna, Yuna! Look at that! It's so pretty!"
"What is it? That one?"
"No, no! The one right next to it!"
"Oh, that? Wow! It's really pretty!"
"Hey~! Come over quick!"
Last time at the department store I had dodged with a look, but this time too I thought she would, yet Hwa-young kept pestering Yuna to come quick and disturb our date.
Click.
"Why the hell do I have to carry your stuff? Do you think I'm your porter?"
"Ah, what does it matter~! While carrying Yuna's stuff, carry mine too~!"
"That's Yuna's, not yours."
Carrying Yuna's stuff was because she was Yuna and my lover. Why did I have to carry Yoo Hwa-young's junk too?
"Uung... can I help?"
"Ha- no, just..."
Yuna rejected the question coming from behind, and that voice sounded strange.
I turned around, and there was Hae-sol standing there eating something.
"Why are you here again?"
"Uum... gulp. I happened to pass by by chance, and remember you promised to buy me dessert last time."
"...Dessert?"
When I asked why Hae-sol was here, it was because she had been nagging to buy dessert next time, and Dang Hwa-ran reacted from the side.
"You promised to buy Heavenly Demon-nim dessert?"
"Yeah. I did."
After confirming with Hae-sol if it was really true, Dang Hwa-ran looked at me with a gaze of doubt.
'What is she even worried about?'
I nodded while thinking that, and Dang Hwa-ran collapsed onto the floor with a face of someone who had lost everything.
"Yaa!! Come quick!"
"Impossible..."
"Come on, let's go. Let's buy it quick."
Hae-sol pulled my clothes and dragged me forcefully, telling me to hurry, and I shook off her hand like that.
Damn it, why are these bitches treating me so badly? Truly absurd.
Even with the date with Yuna being ruined by Hwa-young rolling on the floor and getting treated as a porter, it was a mess.
'H... I have to hold it in. I have to hold it in, Cheon-seong.'
Anyway, the stares from other people recently made me sensitive, and I couldn't cause more commotion here—
"Hey, look. What's with the Lucinus guy hanging around with them?"
More attention—
"There's a second place next to them."
Attention—
"Is that guy a Lucinus too?"
"Not quite..."
Crunch crunch crunch!!
This fucking bastard.
"Cheon-seong, what's wrong?"
"Hey! Why aren't you coming?"
Cheon-seong, barely swallowing curses in his heart, was walking over because the guy wasn't coming from afar, and he felt empty seeing Yuna and Hwa-young approaching.
"What? Those two weren't Lucinus?"
"So you're friends with the second place and the Lucinus three?"
Not even academy classes, but on a weekend the guy was hanging out with three Lucinus and the second place.
Cheon-seong thought of material that could attract so much attention it was nearly overwhelming.
It was a mess.
And before long, at lunch time, in the community cafe of the academy students-only app, there was a man who was hanging out with the three Lucinus and the second place, and his photo was posted countless times.
The news spread to countless students through various SNS and other community sites within minutes.
Meanwhile, a woman with long black hair and golden eyes who handled SNS skillfully said:
[Hmm~ Between our master and the separation, so many women have gathered around our disciple.]
"Mom~~!"
Zip!
Hae-sol, the silver short-haired girl with a gentle smile that made the observer happy, hugged Beatrice from behind after seeing the phone, and Hana, who had fox ears poking up on top of her head, looked at the phone and shouted.
"Mom, what are you looking at? Eh! Wow! It's Dad!"
[Indeed, you have a father here, Hana.]
Beatrice smiled while agreeing with Hana's words.
Hana had been excited to see Cheon-seong whom she hadn't seen for days, and Beatrice looked at the photo of Cheon-seong surrounded by multiple women on the phone while smiling, then spoke to Hana.
[Let's go see Dad after a while, Hana.]
"Really?! Wow! Mom is the best!!"
Hana smiled warmly, happy that she was going to see Cheon-seong, and a cold chill passed behind Cheon-seong's back, the party of that conversation.
Scrut schr schr
"...What?"
"Eh? Cheon-seong, why?"
"No, it's nothing. Maybe just my mood."
Finally, Cheon-seong had come to the dessert cafe to keep his promise with Hae-sol, and he trembled from the sudden chill felt from behind.
Yuna asked why he was trembling while looking around, and Cheon-seong laughed it off as a mood thing.
"Are you thirsty? Why are you shaking your body like that?"
"Uung. Sorry."
"Hehe..."
Yoo Hwa-young, who had also gotten fed by Cheon-seong once, asked while watching, and Cheon-seong frowned.
"Don't say weird things in a place where we're eating."
"Tsk. Can't even take a joke. Boring guy."
Hana stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth, saying it was boring because of Cheon-seong's words.
"H... Tired, again what..."
"Can I eat more?"
"...Do whatever you want."
Cheon-seong sighed while asking if he could eat more after finishing one cake in minutes, and Hae-sol happily ordered dozens of cakes at maximum size.
Cheon-seong let out another deep sigh at the suddenly busy dessert cafe.
"L, excuse me, would you like to try this?"
At that moment, Dang Hwa-ran offered a cake with thick green liquid still melting on the fork.
"...It's still melting."
"Ah yes! I put a little poison in it!"
"..."
Cheon-seong thought.
I want to see Hana and Beatrice soon.
"Dad!!!"
[You seem to have quite a lot of popularity.]
But he hadn't expected to want to see them like this...?
