Chapter 4 – Second Life in Another World (4)
A flame rises.
Smoke from burning goblin corpses covered the sky.
Over 50 vs 13 battles.
It was the latter who won the victory.
Absolutely no damage received.
It was a miraculous result.
And seeing the man who produced the miraculous result, everyone held their breath.
Among the dogs, Zion was also present.
‘What the hell is this…’
Her eyes trembled mercilessly.
As if she had witnessed that she couldn’t believe it, her brain couldn’t keep up.
Did you sort out all those numbers by yourself? Even in this short time?
She was afraid inside.
Even though it was a short meeting, she knew to some extent that Seo-joon was not a bad person.
However, the imagining of that force being directed at them made their bodies tremble.
But the trembling soon subsided.
‘… He’s not bad.’
Lorna’s professing that she wasn’t a bad person played a big part in this.
At least she had a better eye for people than Shion herself.
Huh, after catching his breath, Xion looked at Seojun.
‘His personality, skills, and even his looks are unparalleled.’
When I see that handsome face, my face turns red.
After she shook her head to dispel the heat, she thought about her future relationship with Seo-joon.
The men of the mercenary kingdom during the day realized that there were many problems with a party of two women.
Surely, if he came to their party, it would be a great power.
However, it is questionable whether he will come in.
‘Should I make an invitation?’
Depending on the method of solicitation, there is a possibility of offending them.
Shion wasn’t very friendly, but with Lorna, it might work out somehow.
Shion thought so and looked at Seo-joon’s profile.
***
After completing all follow-up.
The three headed to the commercial city of Kukurica to report to the adventurer’s guild.
During the trip, the three of them became closer.
But after arriving, a problem arose.
“Give me your ID.”
Shion and Rona were fine, but Seo-jun’s ID was missing.
While he was at a loss as to what to do, Shion and Lorna approached him.
“This man is not dangerous.”
“He is someone who doesn’t know much about the situation here. I’m sorry for worrying you.”
The sight of two beautiful girls bowing their heads relaxes the guards.
Regardless of the other person’s reaction, Shion continued.
“We, as adventurers belonging to the adventurer’s guild, went out to investigate the Janggi Forest. He is the lost man I met there.”
As she spoke, she casually set aside her armor, put her hand to her chest, and pulled out a card from there.
Rona also tried to pull her card out of her breast in the same way.
It was hard to find out whether the difference in volume here leads to the difference in the depth of the sternum as it is.
Trying to pull it out somehow, twisting the body, the mountain shook violently left and right, creating a tremendous sight, and in addition, pulling the collar to pull it out somehow, the area of exposed skin color became larger than that of Shion.
It wasn’t long though, and Lorna also pulled out her card.
The bronze card with a metallic glow was an adventurer’s card issued by the adventurer’s guild.
They handed it to the guards.
“His name is Seojun. Identity is not guaranteed by us. Now, I plan to register at the adventurer’s guild and make a kid.”
“Um, that’s right. It should be quicker. When the card is complete, get confirmation from us again. And since it’s a rule, even the admission fee for those without an ID card should be 1 silver coin.”
“Of course. Hard work.”
Shion put the returned card back into his chest and paid a silver coin to the guard.
At the same time, the guards gave permission, and the three of them were able to enter safely.
“Thank you. I live thanks to you.”
“Well, I just did the obvious thing.”
There was such a short happening, and the three safely arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild.
Shion headed straight to the counter.
“It’s a Zion and Lorna party. I want to report that I was rescued from the Janggi Forest quest.”
“Yes. I need to check it against the records, so please wait.”
The receptionist took out something like a ledger from inside and took a quick look.
After confirming her, she opened her mouth.
“Hmm… It’s a request to investigate the Shogi Forest. According to the record, it seems that eight people applied?”
“Ah, I have to report on that too…”
As Shion stretched her words, as if she didn’t want to say it, rather than finding it difficult to say, the receptionist pointed inward, as if she was quick-witted.
“I guess there must have been a problem? I’ll prepare the back room, so let’s go there.”
“I get it. And since this person is also involved, I want to accompany him. Before that, I want to register with the guild. May I ask you a favor?”
“Hello?”
Seojun drew a sad smile.
The receptionist accepted it with a slight blush.
“Hello.”
“I think he is a lost man. He himself said so.”
“Oh my, this is really amazing.”
The receptionist completed the necessary preparations for registration, even with his eyes wide open.
Sigh, a registration application form handed out.
Seo-joon quickly wrote it all down and passed it over.
After that, well, it proceeded with greetings.
I sold all the by-products from killing the goblins, and I met and talked to a man called the deputy manager.
After finishing the day’s work like that, the three sat in a circle at the inn restaurant and enjoyed dinner.
And when the meal was almost finished, Shion said to Seo-jun.
“Seojun. Thank you so much. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
She bows her head
It was Xion with a sense of strictness.
“Only help from you, I have nothing to say.”
“It’s okay, don’t worry. It’s not your fault, it’s because I wanted to help. So, let’s divide the commission fee evenly.”
“Are you really okay? The commission fee is 12 gold coins. We did very little, but you said you would share four?”
“Uh. I’m not that obsessed with money. In addition, it would be advantageous if I could buy your favor with 8 gold coins.”
“… Uh.”
Seo-joon’s answer made Shion and Rona speechless.
I guess I didn’t expect such an answer.
“Uh, if Seo-joon is like that, shall we end the conservative talk here?”
Big hum.
After saying that, Shion cleared his throat.
Then, with a serious expression, he said to Seo-joon.
“The conservative talk ends here. Actually, Seojun, this is the main topic.”
Shion cleared her breath with her strained face.
Curious as to what the hell she was trying to say, Seo-joon waited until she was ready.
Before long, Shion’s mouth opened, which had calmed her heart to some extent.
“Actually… I want you to join our party.”
“Are you suggesting?”
When Seo-jun asked, Shion shook his head.
“It’s been a while since we’ve been together, but you probably noticed. I don’t know the world and I’m not wise. But on the other hand, Seo-joon is strong and wise… In other words, if Seojun becomes a colleague, I think he will be reassured. We’re a party of only two girls, so I don’t think that’s a good thing about being an adventurer.”
It’s really quick to notice.
However, Seo-jun did not express himself and listened.
As if to answer, Shion continued her words without stopping.
“When the goblins attacked, I thought he was a trustworthy person. Normally, it wouldn’t be strange to run away alone, but he helped.”
“That’s because I can do it.”
“Maybe so, but I trust my intuition. How about it, why don’t you become our colleague and teach us a lot? Of course, as far as we know about this world, we will teach you and help you. I don’t think it’s a bad story.”
Teach me something
I felt a little naughty about that line, but he was cheering inwardly.
‘It’s the same as the original.’
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, so I don’t remember it perfectly, but I remember this scene very well.
And what choices to make here.
He brushed aside Lorna, who was smiling brightly next to Shion.
The expression on his face was clearly smiling, but he felt something cold in his eyes.
Receiving that gaze calmly, Seo-jun said.
“I am very glad that you invited me. I also have nowhere to go, so it’s good to have friends. But won’t you give me a little time to think? About one night.”
“Yes, I guess. It’s definitely not a story that can be answered right away. You don’t have to rush. I look forward to a good answer.”
I thought he would refuse, but when the answer came back that he would think about it, Shion’s expression visibly brightened.
Lorna’s cold gaze was gone, but even when it was gone, only the smile that clung to her, who couldn’t tell what she was thinking, didn’t change.
Slowly, he got up from his seat.
“I had a good dinner. Then I’ll go in first and rest.”
***
Was it past midnight?
It was a night when the surroundings were completely dark and the streets were completely silent.
Smart, someone knocked on Seo-jun’s door.
‘It’s here.’
Oops, he got up from the bed.
Then he went to the door and asked.
“Who is it?”
“Sorry for the late night. It’s Lorna. I have a few words to tell you, could you please let me inside?”
The voice that returned was Lorna’s.
At that, Seojun grinned.
However, even for a very short time, he erased his smile and replied in a puzzled voice.
“Can we talk about that in the morning? I’m a little tired, but.”
“It is a story that can only be told now. I know it’s impossible, but can you do me a favor?”
“Hmm, okay.”
He opened the door
And a black shadow fell over him.
Seo-joon fell flat on the bed.
And the door closes at the same time.
“… Mr. Seojun.”
The black shadow said.
The true identity of the shadow was Lorna.
She came close to Seo-jun and pressed both of his shoulders with her hands.
Lorna’s face is pushed right in front of Seo-jun’s nose.
Her attire was a nightgown worn over her head and tied with a string around her waist.
Because her collar is wide open compared to her monk’s robe, her natural face is protruding from her front chest.
Seeing him illuminated by the moonlight, blood rushed to Seo-joon’s lower leg.
At the same time, Lorna’s pink lips opened.
“What do you mean… You know?”
Her seomseomoksu took off Seojun’s clothes.
