## Chapter 115 – (6)
The two of us looked around the open villa room.
It was a mess, as if they had hurriedly packed and left.
There weren’t many belongings left, but they couldn’t take furniture like the bed and sofa, so it wasn’t a problem to sleep right away.
“It’ll be okay if we clean the floor a bit.”
“Yeah, it will.”
Soi nodded, slowly looking around.
In effect, this house was now a villain’s hideout.
Of course, one was a main villain of the future, and the other was a minor villain who would die after some sexual harassment.
We silently started cleaning.
Even though she should have been exhausted from hunting goblins, Soi always had a bright smile, so she didn’t seem tired.
Why was she always smiling?
I boldly asked.
“Why are you always smiling?”
“Everyone gets scared if I don’t smile.”
“…Really?”
You’re scary even when you smile.
I swallowed those words.
I needed to think about it the other way around.
I sometimes felt a chill even when she was always smiling, so what would it be like if she were expressionless? I wondered.
I felt a cold sweat run down my spine.
After roughly finishing the cleaning, we decided where to sleep.
I took the sofa, and Soi took the bed.
I suggested it first.
I really didn’t care where I slept, and it was a small consideration for Soi, who must have moved around a lot today.
And if I treated her this well, wouldn’t she spare me even if she turned evil later?
Soi, who had a contract with a Constellation, was quite strong, as I remembered.
“Thank you.”
Soi accepted my consideration with a thank-you.
And so, we fell asleep in our respective places.
‘…I feel like I’m living a healthier life after being possessed by a villain.’
It felt like it had been a long time since I was under the same roof as a woman without doing anything lewd.
I slightly raised the corners of my mouth at the ironic situation and fell asleep.
***
As promised, Soi and I arrived at the already empty cafe.
We arrived a little earlier than the appointed time, so Eun-jeong and Jae-hoon weren’t at the cafe yet.
We naturally went inside the cafe.
Inside the cafe were a refrigerator, a coffee machine, and various drink ingredients.
Looking at the refrigerator and the ceiling, there were still fruits, juices, and coffee beans.
“Um… Do you want something to drink?”
“Can you make it?”
“I think so.”
It wasn’t a skill I would use often, so it was buried deep in my memory, but I had a cooking skill.
I had forgotten about it myself, but when I went inside the cafe, my body reacted first, as if I could make something.
“Then, I’ll have a smoothie, please.”
“Okay.”
I decided to make four smoothies.
The drink was forcibly unified as mango smoothie.
It was too much of a hassle to ask and make them all different.
‘Oh.’
I was slightly impressed.
It was a similar feeling to when I first used the weapon skill.
I was just thinking about making a mango smoothie, but my body was reacting and moving first.
The recipe was simpler than I thought.
Mango, ice, milk, syrup, mango juice.
Just put it in a blender and blend it.
I tried a little, and it tasted like what they sell at cafes.
Of course, since it was made with ingredients from the cafe.
“Oh? You guys arrived first?”
Jae-hoon opened the door and looked at me strangely.
Eun-jeong, who followed behind him, was the same.
“Do you know how to make drinks?”
“Really? Why was this made?”
Jae-hoon asked in amazement, and I chuckled and answered.
Jae-hoon tilted his head at my slightly strange answer, but I had nothing to say.
My body moved on its own, so should I say I know how to make it?
I handed the mango smoothies to the two who had just entered and Soi, who was waiting next to me.
Jae-hoon and Soi seemed to be thirsty, and they made surprised expressions after drinking the smoothie.
“Wow, this is good?”
“It’s delicious.”
Both of them gave me satisfactory reviews.
Eun-jeong was hesitating to drink it.
“Why aren’t you drinking?”
“…I was wondering if you put something in it.”
She was saying that, but I knew why Eun-jeong wasn’t drinking it.
She was just watching me make this drink in amazement, so she was late to drink it compared to the other two.
That was all, but I couldn’t help but make a mischievous reply to Eun-jeong, who was giving a curt answer.
“I should have put something in it?”
“Don’t say things like that, even as a joke.”
“Should I not?”
I don’t know why, but I often misspoke in front of Eun-jeong.
Maybe it was the influence of the original work.
Or maybe it was just because I felt a little less tense when I saw Eun-jeong.
I hardly ever made mistakes in front of Soi, so that was also a possibility.
Eun-jeong hesitated and then drank the smoothie.
And then, she looked down at the smoothie with slightly widened eyes.
“Is it okay to eat?”
“…Stop looking at me so much.”
“Should I not?”
I saw the corners of her lips slightly turn up.
Eun-jeong seemed satisfied with the taste itself.
“The next mission is tomorrow, right?”
“No, it’s today.”
“What? The mission clearly said two days later…”
Jae-hoon was surprised and asked again.
Yes, that’s what it said.
The mission clearly said two days later.
But the situation had changed.
I said quietly.
“The Constellations have already gathered enough.”
The reason why the mission was originally scheduled to start in two days wasn’t to consider us, who were tired from the tutorial mission.
It was simply a buffer time for the Constellations to gather so that they could participate in the first mission.
But the Constellations had gathered enough before the two days were up.
So the system moved up the mission time.
The three people’s expressions changed slightly.
They realized what I had just said.
That the protagonists of this game weren’t us, but the Constellations.
Jae-hoon had a shocked face, and Eun-jeong quickly became calm, as if she hadn’t believed in the existence of Constellations much from the beginning.
Soi was—
Staring into the air.
‘Could it be…’
I looked at Soi for a moment and then looked at the message window that appeared next to me.
[The King of the Dwarves wants to appoint you as his Incarnation.]
[Do you accept?]
One of the Constellations was listening to the story.
He must have liked me a little, and he came to find me this morning.
In fact, it wasn’t bad just looking at the name value, and it was a relatively good offer because he was a Constellation who liked people.
But I decided to put it on hold because the skill that Constellation gave didn’t suit me.
[The King of the Dwarves says to tell him anytime if you change your mind.]
It was fortunate that at least that Constellation was listening to my story.
‘I need to be more careful next time.’
I was lucky this time, but there was no guarantee that I would be lucky next time.
[The next mission will begin.]
“It really started…”
Everyone was looking at the newly arrived message.
Eun-jeong opened her mouth and muttered.
Eun-jeong, who had been a little suspicious of my words, looked even more surprised than Jae-hoon.
Only I was calmly sipping my smoothie.
I was reading the messages, wondering if it was going according to the original work.
[The mission will begin.]
[You must collect 10 points within 24 hours.]
[Points can be obtained by defeating monsters or people.]
[If you kill a person, you will also acquire the points that person had.]
[The mission begins.]
And 3 seconds.
[The mission is cleared.]
[Rewards are given.]
[You are the first to clear the mission.]
[Additional rewards are given.]
[You have acquired the Detection skill.]
[You have acquired the Observation skill.]
“…It’s real.”
Jae-hoon muttered.
The situation was proceeding exactly as I had described.
The mission started a day early, and we passed the mission right away because we had prepared in advance.
My record of saying that was true.
Eun-jeong and Jae-hoon, who had confirmed that my words were true, looked at me, and Soi looked at me with a rare, faint smile.
“That’s why you hunted goblins yesterday—”
I raised one finger and gestured for them to be quiet.
It was dangerous now.
Soon, many Constellations would flock here.
Soi quickly closed her mouth after seeing my gesture.
As expected.
Starting with one familiar Constellation’s message, various Constellations flocked in.
[The Goddess of Justice congratulates you on your achievements.]
[The Eater of Nightmares realizes that everyone gathered is the first clearer and admires you.]
[The Devil of Entertainment looks down on you with interest.]
[The King of the Dwarves clicks his tongue at the increased competition.]
…
Even I, who had hunted the least goblins, received this many messages.
The three of them must have received an even more enormous amount of messages.
And among them, there would be suspicious messages mixed in.
Squeak!
Jae-hoon pushed the chair far back and stood up from his seat.
“…Jae-hoon?”
Eun-jeong looked at Jae-hoon, who had stood up, with a worried expression.
Soi didn’t say anything, but she was looking at Jae-hoon with a much fainter smile than usual.
Jae-hoon was just looking at the air and muttering.
“I, I have to go… I have to go!”
And Jae-hoon’s gaze turned to me.
“Everyone at the shopping mall is in danger!”
Hearing Jae-hoon’s desperate voice, I felt relieved.
Because it was the flow of the original work.
