I Returned， but the Reverse World 434

Chapter 434 – 37. Temporary Suspension of Warrior Work

Unlike her older sister Hildear, Claudia has a hobby.

Reading doesn’t fit with the concept of a tanning gangster, especially self-help books.

I can’t say it’s a good hobby, but for Claudia herself, she was a source of support during a difficult time.

She filtered out useless content, and it was helpful to some extent.

“Wow, wow! This is a fantasy that was sold out…! When was it reprinted?!”

Of course, that didn’t mean I could understand it well.

“Ah! The new series of Why Youth Hurts! I thought it would never come out again because the previous work didn’t even sell 100 copies!”

Not only Hildear has no hobbies, but so does Siwoo.

“…”

“…”

“Of course the bookstore is the best♡”

Claudia is so excited that she wanders around the bookstore, or even the self-help book section in the corner.

Siu and Hildear watched the scene with empty smiles, then quickly turned their heads.

“Let’s pretend we don’t know.”

“Yes, of course.”

The two moved to another area, leaving their younger brother, who was still engrossed in a book.

This is the only large bookstore in the capital.

Even though Hero candidates from other worlds have spread various cultures, books are not that cheap, and the readership is not yet wide.

Since it is the capital of the kingdom, there can be large bookstores, but small bookstores and libraries are usually more popular.

“Hmm. I guess it would have been better to go to the library rather than the bookstore?”

It’s a bit quiet, but it’s not an atmosphere where you can relax and see what books are good.

That’s probably because it’s a place to sell books, not to read them.

Hildear said to Siwoo, who was worried that he might have chosen the wrong location.

“I’m fine.”

“No, but…”

“I’m just happy to be able to spend this day with Siwoo.”

“Haha, that makes me feel even more sorry.”

Still, I brought him here to give me a hobby, but I felt like something was wrong from the start.

Hildear must have read those feelings, and quietly took Siwoo’s hand and clasped his hand.

“This is just the beginning, right? Let’s move around lightly.”

“Yes. It’s funny to say this, but it’s good that just dating has an effect.”

“Hehe. Really.”

Hildear himself was also amazed.

All the negative emotions I had felt, such as impatience, jealousy, and anxiety, disappeared completely just by being next to Siwoo.

On the other hand, if he isn’t there, it feels like it will well up inside again, but you never know.

Even if I couldn’t make it a hobby, I felt like I could get good results.

“Then let’s move on to the novel first.”

“Yes, I like it.”

Just like libraries, the books in bookstores are biased to one side.

In the former, with a few exceptions, most of them are in fields such as theses or research books rather than literature, but the opposite is true for bookstores.

Among the majority of literature, novels and romances boast the largest number of volumes.

Siwoo clicked his tongue as he lightly glanced at the novel titles on the bookshelf.

‘Wow, what is this?’

It was full of titles that were very cheap, or rather aggro-inducing.

It looks like someone sprayed poison that wasn’t poison.

When you read the title, there are many types that make you curious about the content.

“Hmm.”

Hildear also looked around to see if his interest had grown and took out a novel.

“Is the saint watching…?”

“… It’s a somewhat familiar title. No, isn’t it?”

“Is that so? But is this okay? I guess if you’re a saint…”

Han Si-woo is currently the only saint of the main religion.

The last saint before him was hundreds of years ago.

So, when it comes to saints these days, anyone would think of Siwoo.

“Well, you don’t know the content just from the title, right? Also, saint and saint are not titles exclusive to the main church.”

“Ah, I see. There are several goddesses on the continent.”

“There are places where the title was different from the beginning or changed altogether. Anyway, it’s a novel.”

“I see…”

Reading is a very major hobby.

Even if it is not a hobby, there are many people who occasionally read popular novels.

Right now, he was often seen not only among the workers but also among the members of the Han Si-woo clan.

I heard that Nina, who is an alchemist and is often confined to her mansion, often kills time by reading books.

‘The cover seems strangely red.’

What kind of book was Nina reading?

Hildear put the book back in her hand and looked around her for a red cover.

Usually a plain sign, such as brown or green.

Surprisingly, I didn’t see anything as strong as red.

As Hildear continued to look around her, Siwoo, who was leisurely looking at her bookshelf, asked.

“Is there a book you’re looking for?”

“No. It’s not like that… Uh, is that… Ah?”

“What did you see… Huh?”

The place where both of their eyes were directed was deeper and further into the corner than Claudia’s favorite self-help book.

A place where you can’t see any people even inside a quiet bookstore.

The red and white adult sign on the bookshelf was enough for the reason.

The corner of Siwoo’s mouth twitched as he looked at the place where there were only red signs.

“Hey, Hilde was looking for something like that.”

“Huh? Oh, no. That’s not it…”

“That’s not bad. Shall we go together?”

“It’s okay, shit, it’s embarrassing if you drag me along like that.”

“Ahaha.”

Siwoo smiled slightly and took her to her adult corner.

Although the attention of those around me may be harsh, if I had cared about that, I wouldn’t have come to the bookstore.

‘I heard the date course was in the newspaper the other day. It’s hard being famous.’

Whenever Han Si-woo returned to the Kingdom of Palania, the media and social circles were always in an uproar.

Even though it wasn’t exactly the Kingdom of Palania, the regions where his movements were known were all similar.

He is currently receiving the most attention on the continent, and is currently showing a presence greater than that of an SS-class hero.

I wasn’t specifically aiming for it, but if he buys the book, wouldn’t word quickly spread and popularity soar?

‘Ha. ‘Let’s just forget about it.’

In some cases, problems may arise, but if you pay attention to each and every detail, there will be no end.

After finally getting his attention, he looked back at Hildear.

“…”

She took out one of her novels and looked at it intently to see if there was anything that caught her eye.

She carefully turned the pages, forgetting that Si-woo was watching beside her.

“… Gulp.”

It’s pretty erotic, or maybe it’s fun.

Siwoo quietly hugged Hildear, who had forgotten his presence, from behind.

“Kyaaa?!”

“It seems like a lot of fun.”

“Ugh, ah, no. That’s…”

He stuttered with a bright red face as he finally realized what he had done.

The content was more interesting and stimulating than I expected, so I was instantly hooked.

A different kind of fun than experiencing it yourself or hearing about it from people around you.

I felt like I knew why Nina and other people were into novels like this.

“How was it?”

“My content?”

“Yes.”

“Hey, that’s right. Quite…”

“Hmm.”

Siu placed his chin on top of Hildear’s head and lowered his gaze.

The page she opened was in full swing before entering the main room.

A provocative radiation scene depicted with delicate yet elegant writing befitting the genre of romance.

Interest began to surge.

“Should I buy this?”

“Uh, this novel? I don’t think you’ll necessarily like that.”

“Why, I think it would be fun to stay here.”

“Ah…♡”

The female’s low moaning voice was filled with joy.

Siwoo, who couldn’t possibly know what that meant, grinned.

“Hehe. I’m telling you. Do you want to try Hilde too? I’m curious.”

“… A little, haha, I’m curious♡”

“Okay, decision. Then, this and… Oh, I don’t know. I’m choosing a few more. I’ll bring Rodia.”

“Yes, yes!”

Si-Woo turns to Claudia, who is still struggling around the self-help books.

Hildear was deeply troubled and looked closely at the few adult corners.

Perhaps because I didn’t know much, I couldn’t tell which was which.

In the end, after much hesitation and deliberation, I picked up three books, including one with a title that appealed to me, and a novel recommended by another customer who quietly approached me, a woman who was probably a journalist.

I wanted to buy a few more books, but I hurriedly left the place due to the increasing number of gazes and the narrowing distance from the onlookers.

It was obvious that as soon as Hildear left, people flocked to the adult corner as if she had been waiting.

‘Be embarrassed.’

Even though it wasn’t my first date with Siu in the city, there were more onlookers and reporters today.

Siwoo’s reputation is growing that much, but it was embarrassing to think that this would be known to others.

“Ugh, I was still thinking about it…”

“I didn’t want to say this, but maybe you should read other books.”

“I read a lot of other things too.”

“Okay, then I guess I’ll have to cut down on my reading altogether. Should I talk to Kriemhild and ask him to read more?”

“Eh. Please help me, oppa!”

Still, emotions and practicality are separate things.

Hildear suppressed his shame.

And she put down the three red books on the counter, looking forward to tonight.

“Oh, let’s count this too… Hike?! Sister, what on earth are you buying?!”

“Ouch! Quiet!”

At that time when Han Si-woo was on a date outside without causing a bit of a fuss.

“Why…?”

The Succubus Queen rolled over on the bed with an expression of complete incomprehension.

3 days from the day we arrived in Palania to today.

As of now, he has been neglecting her, not even seeing her face, but even sending her person.

They said they had someone feed them three meals a day, but that didn’t help Curena’s pride.

‘How on earth can this happen? Am I still a succubus queen? It’s one of the executives of the Demon Lord… ?’

In fact, isn’t even this neglect a kind of torture?

If I didn’t win mentally like that, I felt depressed.

“… It doesn’t make sense. This must be some sort of operation. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense!”

She is jumping around on the bed and making a fuss that I can’t understand.

At that moment, she heard a knock on the door, letting her know that someone had come to visit.

“Ah!”

‘Of course.’

“Oh, welcome!”

The Succubus Queen was so excited that she ran to the door and stood in front of it as it opened.

“Yes, welcome.”

“…? What is it?”

However, unlike the long-awaited face of the saint, what you see is a woman with pink hair.

The Succubus Queen’s face was distorted when she saw the pink long hair and saint’s clothes that symbolized the main character that the demon god was hostile to.

“Nice to meet you, Kyurena.”

“I’m not happy at all.”

“Is that so? Well, it doesn’t matter. Still, the meeting between a saint and a succubus queen. Isn’t it fun?”

“…”

It might have been fun in some cases, but could it be fun if you were captured and held prisoner?

Q Lena narrowed her eyes and glared at Elaine, the pink saint in front of her.
