## Chapter 90 – (3)
I was blankly relaxing, watching the many people crossing the crosswalk.
As a famous tourist destination, the proportion of foreigners was high.
Even among the foreigners, my eyes were drawn to the Koreans, who made up a significant portion.
“…Is it because I’m Korean?”
I could distinguish them.
Subtly, the Koreans’ attire was different.
It was like a fashion I knew well.
As I was resting and looking out the window, someone knocked on my door.
When I opened it, Hanna was standing there with a bright smile.
“I’m here.”
“Ah.”
Come to think of it, the two of them were on the women-only floor.
The room I was staying in was accessible to anyone.
Hanna seemed to have come up quickly, curious about what I was doing.
“Where’s Jian?”
“Ah, she said she was going to fix her clothes and makeup…”
“…Is that so?”
I nodded vaguely and asked Hanna about the next schedule.
“I think we’ll just stay near the hotel today.”
It was the first day, and Hanna, who traveled often, seemed tired too, as she stretched a little and said.
Near the hotel, huh.
It was a little past lunchtime, and I was worried if that alone would be enough to fill the day’s schedule.
But listening to Hanna, it seemed like it would be enough.
She confidently said that there was everything from shopping to entertainment.
So it wasn’t a tourist destination for nothing.
“So, what do you think?”
“Huh? About what?”
I answered her sudden question, and she asked with a subtle smile.
“Do you like Jian?”
“Ah…”
If I had to say whether I liked her or not, I was leaning towards liking her.
So much so that I was trying to攻略 her even though it wasn’t a quest.
When I nodded lightly, Hanna smiled too.
“I’m glad then. I’ll contact you later.”
With those words, Hanna stepped outside.
攻略ing Jian wasn’t actually difficult.
If Hanna helped a little, it would proceed smoothly.
So, I decided to focus on the trip for now.
I changed into more comfortable clothes for walking around and checked the yen in my wallet.
I had exchanged enough so that I wouldn’t be short of anything, no matter where I went or what I did.
[Come down to the first floor.]
After receiving the message, I slowly went down to the first floor and saw the two people who still caught everyone’s attention wherever they went.
Honestly, as partners for my first trip, they were a bit of a burden.
It felt good to feel people’s envious gazes, but…
It seemed difficult to feel that leisurely enjoyment when I was with them.
“Oppa, you’re here?”
Once we weren’t alone, Hanna started speaking comfortably again.
Her acting was skillful.
Well, that’s how she hid her dark intentions and brought Jian to me.
First, we decided to have a meal.
We headed to a restaurant that she had researched before coming on the trip.
However—
“The people…”
“Let’s go somewhere else.”
As befitting the title of a popular restaurant, people were lined up for a long time.
I would have waited if it was possible, but after watching for about 5 minutes, the line didn’t seem to be shortening easily, so it seemed difficult to wait.
Hanna said she had researched several places in preparation for this, and quickly moved to another location.
However, the next place, and the place after that too…
There was still a long line in front of the restaurant.
“…”
“…”
Then, as the list of researched stores dwindled, the two of them rapidly lost their words.
No, it didn’t seem to be just for that reason.
“Hmm… Is it a little hot?”
Hanna and Jian, as well as the passersby, seemed to be wearing relatively thin clothes.
Come to think of it, I heard that the weather was getting warmer.
I had become relatively resistant to heat and cold after learning martial arts, so I didn’t feel the heat as much, but the two of them were in a different situation.
They were constantly walking around, and with the fatigue of the first day, and the weather not cooperating…
They seemed a little tired.
In the end, we went into a ramen shop that was visible nearby.
There were a few customers, but it didn’t matter since there was no waiting line.
As soon as we entered the door, the employee asked how many people there were, and I naturally answered 3.
From then on, after proving that I could use Japanese, I naturally became in charge of conversations and orders.
The taste of the ramen that came out after ordering was…
How should I put it, it was salty.
I wondered if they made it like this on purpose to sell drinks or alcohol.
If that was their aim, it worked well for us, at least.
Because we ordered three drinks as if possessed.
After drinking the drinks that came out, our one-line reviews were all similar.
The drinks were really delicious.
The drinks were violent against the saltiness of the ramen and the dryness in our mouths due to the heat.
“What are you going to do after this?”
“Hanna and I are going shopping.”
Jian said, drawing a line as if her schedule was different from mine.
But I didn’t want to accompany them on their shopping today either.
Even if I followed them, I didn’t think I would enjoy it properly, and I wanted to freely enjoy Japan since I came all the way here.
“Is that so? Then let’s meet later.”
“Ah…”
Hanna looked at me with a regretful expression, but the trip wasn’t just for today.
After finishing the meal, we parted ways for a while to have our own time.
Certainly, the trip became relatively pleasant after separating from the two of them.
It wasn’t like it wasn’t pleasant when I was with them, but just the disappearance of those burdensome gazes gave me peace of mind.
Only then did the surrounding scenery slowly come into view.
Signboards written in Japanese and passersby.
Then, I occasionally saw signboards that felt different from Korea.
Stores related to animation or cosplay were like that,
And signboards that openly reeked of 19금 were like that.
“In a place like this?”
I was surprised that it was nonchalantly located between restaurants.
The store name was Mirror Room.
I didn’t know what they did, but the woman drawn on the signboard, the lewdly curved heart, it was obvious that it wasn’t a decent store.
I entered as if possessed.
And I could immediately tell what kind of store this was.
As soon as I entered, I was guided into a narrow room.
The room was narrow, but it was big enough to stretch out my legs, and there was glass in front.
And beyond the glass, there was a large space, and there were several women in the space.
Women wearing various concept outfits.
The women didn’t seem to see this side and were talking among themselves.
“Please specify and order here.”
The woman who guided me said that and handed me something like a menu, pointing to something like a receiver.
The menu listed the names of the women to specify and the things you could order.
“…Huh…”
It was a more explicit store than I thought.
A little too much to be in the middle of a downtown area.
Even while thinking that, I was slowly looking at the women beyond the glass window.
Among them, I saw a woman who seemed passive.
A woman who seemed passive on the outside.
I picked up the receiver and specified her.
[Number 14, understood.]
The woman who was specified looked at this side with surprised eyes.
Of course, since I couldn’t be seen inside, our eyes didn’t meet, but I could see that the woman was happy.
The woman came to the glass and whispered to me, who couldn’t be seen.
“Thank you for specifying me, you can ask me for anything…”
It seemed like I could spend my time meaningfully in my own way.
***
“Hoo…”
“Let’s rest over there.”
Jian spoke to her.
The emotion of being tired was clearly revealed on her face.
She shook her head while looking at Jian.
Did she not expect this?
The biggest reason why their trip had been relatively smooth so far was none other than Seonghan.
Being able to use Japanese fluently was also like that, but Seonghan’s appearance also played a part.
To put it nicely, he was a bodyguard, to put it badly, thanks to his menacing appearance, men couldn’t dare to come near them and were just watching from afar.
However, after Seonghan disappeared, suddenly many men started approaching them.
Asking for their numbers, taking pictures without permission, and even the men who were soliciting customers were persistently following them.
Even in the department store they entered to shop, the employees were particularly annoying to talk to, so they had to leave early.
And now they were in a cafe, quickly exhausting their energy.
“Haa…”
She sighed again.
To be honest, she hoped that Jian would be 攻略ed as soon as possible.
Then they could satisfy Seonghan together.
She knew that Jian hated men.
But that wouldn’t be a problem in front of Seonghan.
Even she, who was frigid, had her face relaxed and clung to Seonghan’s arms.
Jian probably wouldn’t be much different.
In the end—
“What are you thinking about?”
“Um… I was wondering what Oppa is doing.”
She was really curious.
What could he be doing right now.
Maybe he’s already found another woman and is enjoying himself.
Seonghan had seen her and Jian, so he wouldn’t be satisfied with the appearance of most women, but she couldn’t be relieved.
“Haa, it was more comfortable when we had a… boyfriend…”
Jian reluctantly admitted it when she brought up Seonghan’s story.
She lowered her head as if her pride was hurt, but she was proud to see her acknowledging Seonghan.
“Then let’s go together tomorrow.”
“…Okay.”
Jian reluctantly nodded.
