Chapter 55 – Episode 55. Fairy Promise
After having a good time with Jiyoon, my subclass stats were improved.
The stats of my subclass that went up saying I had a special experience.
Thanks to that, my skill stat went up from B to A.
Ah.. It was such a good special experience.
Jisoo, Sieun, and Juniel returned quite late in the morning.
Jisoo and Sieun were excited about hunting monsters with new items, so time flew by.
Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to rest quietly holding Jiyoon until they arrived.
Jiyoon’s face looked very satisfied.
He seems very happy that he was able to dedicate his first time to me.
After the three women returned, I decided to close my eyes for tomorrow’s transfer.
Looking at my four women who don’t have to sleep, I feel sorry for my body, which only gets tired when I sleep.
But what can I do?
I am a living human, and they are corpses.
And, now you don’t have to regret it.
I can do something even while sleeping.
I went to the store
When I open my eyes, a rugged wooden wall comes into view.
Huh? Feeling a little wider than yesterday…
Didn’t you even have a table that you couldn’t see?
Has something been upgraded?
And the cute girl (?) Jun who still greets me.
[Kang… Oppa! You are here!]
I stood up from the wooden floor and greeted Jun while looking at him.
“Nice to meet you, Jun. I’ll see you again in half a day. Am I coming too often?”
[I like it if you come often. There’s not much to do here anyway other than waiting for my brother.]
Huh? What is this sound?
“Are you waiting for me? So, is Jun still staying here while I’m gone?”
[Of course. I know when my brother will come to the store and leave. I can’t even leave the place in the first place.]
I frowned and asked.
“No, can’t we go out for a while… Or something? At least I can go to the bathroom…”
Jun put on a puzzled expression at my words.
[Uh.. Um.. Would it be okay if I explained this. I didn’t say that I shouldn’t do it, so…]
Jun muttered something to himself and started explaining to me.
[Brother. This place does not exist in reality. Do you know?]
“Um… That’s right, right?”
[Then the problem. My brother said that his brother’s spirit is here now. The body is in a state of sleep. If so, what state am I now? Is this my mental body or my body?]
“Uh..”
This is an issue I hadn’t thought of.
Maybe… Like me? Because Jun is in the same space as me.
“Wouldn’t it be like me? I’m the only one with a mental body.. And Jun’s original body.. I don’t think so.”
[That’s right. This is a space where only your mental body can stay. So I’m just a psyche. My body is sleeping elsewhere.]
“Oh, I see.”
Jun smiled and continued his words.
[We are employees of the store. So, you should be ready to welcome your guests whenever they come, right? That’s why you have to stay here forever. It means you can’t wake up or do it.]
“Then you are saying that the main body should remain asleep? All the way through this game?”
Jun nodded at my words.
“Is that possible? Not even an hour or two.”
[Of course it is impossible. That’s why our bodies enter the hibernation facility and enter hibernation until the game is over. My body is currently sleeping in the hibernation room located in the basement of the ‘Sura Corporation’ headquarters building. So it’s okay not to worry about things like health.]
“Uh..”
My head can’t keep up with the story that is so different from what I thought.
Then, the body is still asleep, and the mind has to keep waiting here for one unknown guest.
Uh… Suddenly Jun looks pitiful.
Perhaps noticing my gaze, Jun said with a puzzled smile.
[Are you okay. You can’t look at it that way. That was the condition of the contract.]
“Are the terms of the contract too… Awful? What happens if the user in charge dies?”
[Nothing will change. I just have to wait in the shop space until the game is over…]
Wow, that’s really too much
A clerk who keeps waiting for customers who don’t know when to come.
Besides, if the customer in charge dies in the beginning… You have to wait for the game to end alone during that long game time.
What kind of work environment is like this?
No just an automated system? Wouldn’t it be nice to make something like this?
Anyway, rat heads. Anything that looks the same as it looks is garbage.
Doing such a nasty thing to such pretty and cute fairies.
[What can I do? I am thoroughly ‘eul’. How lucky I am to be able to do something like this. We fairies often starve to death because they can’t work.]
“But… You mean you have to be alone all the time when I’m not coming.”
[If you think so, please come every day. Please come and talk to me.. Anyway, oppa accumulates points for the amount of time he stays here..]
“Of course I intend to do that. Because it comes every time I go to sleep. Oh, would it work if I did something like training while spending time here?”
Jun tilted his head at my words.
[Training..? Well. What are you planning to train?]
“I haven’t thought about that yet… Whatever. For example, if I am a swordsman and train here with a sword, I am asking if the results of that training will increase in real life.”
[That, well. It’s something I hadn’t thought of at all… It’s strange that users stay here for a long time in the first place. It’s also my first time doing this…]
“Hmm, I guess you don’t know. I have no choice but to try it myself.”
Looking at me shaking my head, Jun spoke in a voice that sounded admiring.
[Your brother is really great. You’re thinking of training until the time you’re here.. You train without rest even while sleeping! Is this?]
“Ah, not to that extent…”
[I made up my mind!]
Jun speaks confidently with twinkling eyes.
I asked Jun.
“You made up your mind.. What?”
At my question, Jun sticks out his chest and tells me.
[My brother’s training. Let me help you!.]
“Jun will help me? Why..”
[If my brother gets stronger through training, then his chances of surviving the game to the end increase, right? Then it means I don’t have to be alone for a long time. Yes? So I have to help my brother.]
“Is that really okay? Even if you deeply intervene with users..”
[I don’t have any problem. My job content only says to support the customer in charge wholeheartedly.
Even if it looks like this, it’s a body that has lived through all the prenatal trials. He knows how to handle weapons to a certain extent… He’s not good at magic, but he knows how to use it moderately. No matter what kind of training you do, I will be able to help. Just say it. What kind of training are you going to do?]
Hmm, you mean Jun had a special skill like that?
I thought she was just a cute little girl (albeit an older sister).
I scratched my head and said to Jun.
“No… I don’t have an exact plan on what to train yet. I was just thinking about it.”
[Ah, but you still have a job. You just have to practice what suits the job. What is your brother’s job?]
My job?
Necromancer.
But, what is there to practice as a necromancer?
It’s not like you can put the body up and down here.
“Hmm.. My job is not a job that requires some kind of training..”
[Hmm, is that so? Then there won’t be any side jobs. I heard that if you develop a secondary job well, there are cases where it exceeds the strength of the main job. Because I can help?]
If it’s my side job… Kuhum.
It’s a rather embarrassing job to tell Jun.
I stared blankly at Jun, and Jun urged me to speak.
“Of course, there are some things that can be trained for sub-jobs, but…”
[Look at that. Are you saying I’m really helping you with all my heart? Don’t worry, just tell me.]
Seeing Jun talking confidently with his hands on his hips sticking out his missing breasts, I burst into laughter and said,
“I’m sorry, but it’s hard to help me that way. I’ll just take your heart.”
Jun seemed to have pouted a little at my words, and puffed out his cheeks.
Cute.
[Can I really help you? I’m a fairy with a lot of experience…]
“No, it’s not that I don’t believe it… It’s just that Jun is a bit vague to help.”
[What is your second job? I also need to know for sure, so I won’t be able to judge for sure whether I can help or not.]
“That…”
It’s not easy to say.
It’s not easy to reveal my side job to someone I only meet for the second time.
Like the other girls, Jun isn’t my subordinate.
“Um… Let me tell you slowly. Still a bit…”
Jun pouted his lips as if disappointed by my words.
[I can really help…]
“I’ll be sure to tell you later. If Jun hears about my side job, I’ll talk to him again then to see if he can help me.”
[You don’t believe me? I really…]
“No, it’s not that I don’t trust Jun. It’s just that my side job is a bit unusual…”
[Ah, don’t worry. No matter how many things I’ve experienced, don’t ignore Jun, who has lived an eventful life!!]
“Ignore it. Why would I ignore Jun? All right. I look forward to when Jun helps me.”
At my words, Jun smiled brightly.
[Then we promise!]
“Promise… Is it? What..?”
[When my brother trains, I promise to help!]”
“Until what promises… Oh, I get it. I’ll do it, I’ll do it. Great. I promise you.”
Seeing Jun puffing his cheeks again, I hurriedly said,
If you make a promise, maybe you can calm Jun down a bit.
I stretched out his little finger and held it out to Jun, and Jun opened his palm and held it out to me.
“?”
As I looked at it questionably, Jun spoke to me.
[Please put your palms together.]
What. Is it a fairy promise?
Just as Jun said, I put my palms against Jun.
Jun muttered softly as he touched Jun’s small hand.
[Na Jun promises to devote his body and mind to help shop customer Kang Min-goo train for a secondary job.]
A flash of light flashed between the palms of Jun and me, and then disappeared.
Surprised, I let go of my hand, and Jun smiled and said,
[It’s ‘The Fairy’s Promise’.]
“A fairy promise…?”
[Well, more like a contract than a promise. You can think of it as an act that shows your will to protect it.]
… No, he’s talking about something like a contract for something like this.
I feel the energy of Hogu, which is good to be scammed and robbed anywhere.
I looked at Jun seriously and said.
“.. What if I break this promise?”
Was it because I looked at Jun too seriously?
Jun waved his hand as if telling him not to worry.
[Ah, it’s not like there’s such a big penalty.[
“Yes? Ugh, I have something big-“
[It’s just that you won’t be able to see, hear, or speak for a year.]
“…”
What is not a big penalty?
What does it mean to be unable to see, hear, or speak for a year?
No, a contract with such a huge penalty for just such a thing-
[We fairies regard the act of promise very sacredly. It is natural to keep important promises, and we never take small promises lightly. That’s why we make a ‘fairy promise’, which can be said to be a heavy contract for small promises, and we trust each other and fulfill important promises without any contract.]
What kind of bullshit is this
You don’t have to do it backwards.
Light promises should be made loosely, and heavy promises should be made into contracts.
Why are you doing the opposite?
Well… I guess it’s because I have such a petulant temperament that I’m being exploited like this by rat heads.
However, seeing Jun speaking with the pride of a fairy, it seems hard to say anything.
“That… Until when do we have to fulfill that ‘fairy promise’?”
[You only have to keep it within one year from the date you made the promise. Do you have enough time? Anyway, my brother will start training soon.]
“Uhm..”
Oh I don’t know
Will it work somehow
But if I really have to fulfill my promise… I’ll have to do my side job training with Jun…
That means… Hmmm.
I looked at Jun blankly, and Jun tilted his head and said,
“Why brother? Did you get anything on my face?”
[No, it’s just… It’s cute…]
Jun smiled at my words.
Seeing that look even cuter, I reached out and stroked Jun’s hair.
Jun asked me again with a puzzled face.
[Um… Are you really my brother?]
“What if it’s my brother or what if it’s not. How important is age?”
[Uh, the words seem to be a little different from yesterday..]
I continued stroking Jun’s hair as he was speechless.
Oh wow cute
