Chapter 196 – 196. Going to Work 2
It feels new to see a woman wearing makeup after a long time.
Should I say I’m excited? I can’t stop feeling a little excited.
Something like the satisfaction of seeing a face with artificial beauty? Anyway, men have grown up seeing such beauty.
“I have a lot to ask… Um…”
Red lips. Those lips are the problem.
Even though I just put on a lipstick, I feel like my charm has doubled.
The sight of him opening his red lips and bringing the steak cut with a fork into his mouth is quite sensual.
Are you crazy? I’m just putting meat in my mouth. Why is that so dirty?
If I feel like it, I want to attack it first.
First, take a step back and then slowly ask questions. And… Ugh. Beast cub. Let’s work hard. Calm down.
“Cosmetics. Can you use them? Cosmetics also have an expiration date, right?”
I guess it was a bit surprising that my first question was about cosmetics. The woman’s expression becomes an expression of interest.
“Are you very interested in cosmetics?”
A charming smile. This woman knows how to charm a man.
It’s the mood or behavior that comes from your body. A woman who exudes luxury even in her movements.
“Well, it’s not that I’m very interested, but I’m curious. In this world, things like cosmetics are luxury goods, right? No, they’re not at the level of luxury goods. Can you use them?”
“That’s right. Of course, there is an expiration date. Cosmetics that were made in the past can’t be used now. Of course, the ones I use are ones that were recently made.”
“Made? Cosmetics? Who on earth?”
“There is a place called ‘Factory’. A place that makes industrial products if you bring food.”
“Making industrial products? How?”
“I don’t know the details. They must have their own know-how, right? If you go there, there is a list of things you can make, and if you give them the right food, you can get it later. It’s a bit pricey, but you can get the goods, so you have to accept that. “
“Are you talking about shampoo or something like that?”
“Yes. There are mainly consumables like that. Detergent, shampoo, soap, toothpaste… These are items that you can live without, but are quite inconvenient.”
I don’t know who he is, but he’s a fun guy. No, I said it was a factory, so it’s probably not just one or two people. A factory is a factory, right?
Someone is running the factory. I don’t know how that’s possible, but I’m sure it won’t fail anyway.
“That’s interesting. Then where is the factory?”
“Cheongju.”
“Have you been there in person?”
“Yes.”
“Cheongju. It’s not close. I have to go all the way to Cheongju to get toothpaste… This is true.”
But even so, it is quite useful information.
Still, things like detergents and toothpaste that we are using now are products that have already been made for a long time.
While writing it, I thought, ‘Can I keep using this?’ There are many times when I feel like I want to.
So far, I haven’t had any problems, so I’m just using it, but to be honest, it’s a bit uncomfortable.
“Okay… Then I say yes. What is your name? How old are you?”
“Isn’t that what you usually ask first? He’s an interesting person.”
I don’t know if it’s true that I was charmed.
It is true that he is fascinated because time is floating above his head, but his calm and alluring appearance does not seem like a person who is fascinated at all.
A calm and elegant woman. If a woman like this were put under a man, she would moan, right?
“I’m Jeong Min-hee. My age is a secret…”
“Do whatever you want.”
“Can’t say it’s fun. I’m thirty-two.”
“Thirty-two? Really? I didn’t think you’d go over twenty-seven? I thought you were my age.”
“Hmm. Isn’t it too old-fashioned to pay lip service to one’s age? Of course, women are secretly happy about such obvious things.”
“You sound like lip service. Are you giving me lip service just because I have something to show off to you? You should pay lip service to me.”
The woman who heard me thought for a moment and then laughed.
“Do you need lip service?”
Then she lightly licks her lips with her tongue. A woman who understood exactly what I meant.
I almost answered ‘yes’ without realizing it. Wow. She is a very dangerous woman.
“Okay, Minhee. What skills do you have?”
“Stun, reflexes, and storage.”
“You managed to get three skills?”
“So… How many skills does that person have? I can’t even guess.”
“Well, you should figure that out to the best of your ability, right? But stun, reflection, and storage. Why did you choose storage? Why not invisibility?”
“Is there any point in hiding my body when I go out wearing makeup?”
“That’s why it doesn’t sound right.”
“Because there is reflection, I didn’t think transparency was really necessary.”
“You have a different opinion than me. Anyway, what about storage?”
“It’s good, right? Because I don’t have to carry heavy things like luggage?”
“You live a very comfortable life. How proficient are you in storage skills?”
“I’ve only recently learned it, so I’m still a low-level student.”
“How much does it take? I’ve always wondered.”
“Hmm… I don’t know. Furthermore, I’ve never filled it completely.”
“Don’t you usually check things like that first? Is the space quite big?”
“It’s bigger than I thought. Two or three backpacks can easily fit in that backpack, right?”
It’s low class, but that’s it… It’s pretty good, isn’t it?
As your skill level increases, and you become intermediate, advanced, or master, the space will naturally increase, right? Other than that, there’s nothing that can change when you level up.
It was a better skill than expected. I definitely have to take a picture someday.
“What happens when you put food in there? Does what you put inside last over time?”
“No. It doesn’t flow. I tested it as soon as I learned about it. I tested it with ice, and it didn’t melt.”
Wow… Then the skill level is not as good as expected. It’s the best, right? The moment you put it in, you don’t have to worry about the expiration date. Oh my god.
While I was admiring my storage skills, Minhee said to me.
“But… I have one question to ask, is it okay?”
“Try it.”
“Am I… Under a spell?”
I was surprised.
You realize that you are under a spell.
Usually, it is not until much later that you realize that you have been charmed.
Also, when the person you charmed asks for something unreasonably or suddenly, do you think about it later and realize it?
Moreover, it is only possible to notice it if you are familiar with the skill called fascination.
If you don’t know about fascination properly, you won’t even have any doubts.
But you can figure it out on your own, even while it’s hanging. What on earth is this woman?
“How do you know? I usually don’t notice?”
“I’ve been tempted by fascination for a long time. So I know quite a bit about fascination. So I’m not in a good mood right now.”
“I see. It didn’t look very good.”
“Ha… Don’t remind me.”
It is a very valuable experience.
A conversation with someone who knows he or she is under a spell.
You can’t just throw away such a good opportunity.
“Even if you’re not in a good mood, will you answer my questions? If you cooperate, I’ll let you go right away.”
“Whew. Do I have a choice?”
“It doesn’t exist now. But I see it happening, so it might happen.”
“Yes. I can’t help it.”
I didn’t say anything for a moment, just looked at the woman and thought.
My goal now is to catch all the Company guys.
And information about the Castle. And… Embracing this woman.
She is a woman whom it would be a shame to kill.
It’s a big deal. These days, there are more and more women who are worth killing.
Am I slacking off? I keep getting greedy for people.
“How many company members are meeting tomorrow? And is there anyone there with detection skills?”
“Nine people. By detection skill, do you mean the skill of detecting people around you?”
“That’s right.”
“That’s three people.”
Three people. There are more than I thought.
After all, those who have learned more than one skill will know well the importance of detection.
“Is there anyone there that I shouldn’t kill?”
“Yes?”
“I came here with the intention of killing all the Company guys. But I thought I wouldn’t kill you. That’s why I’m asking. Is there anyone else I shouldn’t kill?”
“Hmm… Not really. Ah. Are you going to kill Charlie too?”
“Charlie? This guy?”
I hit the man with my foot. A man falling asleep. A man who may never wake up again.
“Yes. He’s a pretty good cook. And he does pretty things like this sometimes.”
Minhee lifts her wine glass and takes another sip.
As expected, there is something that can captivate men permeated in each of her actions.
If I hadn’t developed immunity while being around women like Mina and Anna, I might have been Hellele too.
“Unfortunately, I am careful not to spare men.”
“Really? It’s a pity. But… It doesn’t really matter. There’s nothing like people you shouldn’t kill.”
“Really? There’s less camaraderie than I thought.”
“How could something like that happen? Everyone gathered together because of necessity.”
“Why are you doing this? You think you can survive just fine on your own, right?”
“There is someone I want to find.”
“Who do you want to find? Is it the guy you charmed?”
“As expected… I noticed it right away. Did I show it off that much?”
“That’s true… So am I. I’m looking for a woman with charm skills.”
“Your name?”
“Why? Do you know when you hear it?”
“You never know. The reason I joined the Company was to obtain information. There is no other reason.”
“Information? Well. Is there a lot you hear here and there?”
“Of course. I learn a lot of things I didn’t know when I was traveling alone.”
“Really? Well… I guess that’s true. Then, do you know that I’m Jeong Se-hee? I’m 25. I’ll be turning 26 soon.”
“Jeong Se-hee? A witch?”
“Huh?”
I was surprised. I was surprised several times today.
I never thought the name witch would come out of this woman’s mouth.
“Do you know? How do you know?”
“Haha… This is fascinating. That witch was what she was looking for.”
As I watched in silence, Minhee cleared her throat and continued talking.
“There is a person named Jeong Jong-chan.”
“I know. You’re the Deputy Manager of the Company, right?”
“Do you know? Then the story will go faster. That person gave the witch Jeong Se-hee to her castle.”
“To the castle? Repayment?”
“Yes.”
“Ha. Really? For what?”
“I don’t know the details.”
There’s one more reason to destroy the castle. By the way, it’s a repayment. Even though that bitch is pretty, is it worth giving in return?
No. If she had that kind of appearance and the charm skill, she would be quite useful. I don’t know if I can handle it.
“Haha. I got a lot of good information. Good. I’ll remove the charm.”
I made sure that Charlie and I were not in range, so I only nullified Minhee’s wide-area skills.
The fascination time disappeared above her head, and Minhee, noticing the change in herself, looked at me.
“I’m surprised? They let you go so obediently?”
“But don’t even think about attacking me. You will get hit.”
“Hmm. Is there a reflex?”
“Well?”
“And… How did you remove the charm? The charm is only released when the time it is on is over?”
“Well?”
“This is a huge loss. I told you a lot of things, but I didn’t find out anything.”
“Instead, you saved my life.”
Minhee sighs and laughs at my words.
“Haha. That’s right. I saved my life, so it’s not a loss. So… Why are you saving me?”
