Chapter 438 – 37. Temporary Suspension of Warrior Work
“Is there anything you want to go there?”
When Siwoo couldn’t think of a better place, she handed over her choice to Gwen.
Since she couldn’t believe it was Gwen, she also stopped and started whining.
“Oh, that…”
“Of course there isn’t one, right? Then…”
“Wait a minute! I’ll think about it now!”
“Huh? No, I don’t think so.”
Unfortunately, his words had already fallen on Gwen’s ears.
She was so focused on just one date that she didn’t think about what happened after making the appointment.
Gwen was worried that the date would be postponed if she didn’t go somewhere she wanted to go.
Given Shiwoo’s personality, that would never happen, but Gwen’s impatience was beyond imagination.
Si-woo, who realized that fact late, shook his head.
“It’s frustrating.”
Still, wouldn’t she be Gwen even with this innocent and disheveled appearance?
Siwoo sat down next to Gwen and waited for her as she grunted and pondered.
There’s nothing that can’t wait a few minutes for her cute little girl ghost.
But 1 minute. 3 minutes. 5 minutes. 10 minutes.
As the worrying time took longer than expected, a groaning sound naturally came out of Siwoo’s mouth.
“… Hmm.”
I even had doubts about whether a decision would be made today.
That’s right, Gwen’s expression of worry was so serious.
Anyone who sees her will think that she is at an important crossroads in her life.
Although Siwoo was happy, he couldn’t help but feel slightly annoyed.
‘Anyway, he’s a troublesome guy.’
“Gwen.”
“…”
“Gwen!”
“Huh, huh? Why did you call me?”
When I called her name out loud, she lifted her head and started shaking.
Siwoo stood up and said.
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s go? Where?”
“That’s…”
“No… I’m sorry! I’ll think about it in a moment!”
Gwen was somewhat embarrassed and looked like she was crying.
With a look on his face as if he was about to be abandoned by Siwoo, he quickly explained the misunderstanding.
“It’s not like that. You seem like you’re thinking a lot, so I’m just deciding.”
“Uh… Really…?”
“Yes. So let’s go.”
“Yeah… I’m sorry I misunderstood…”
Siwoo chuckled and stroked his hair carefully this time so as not to get it tangled.
It was funny to worry now, but he thought that in order to grant Gwen’s wish, he also had to change her mindset.
As I continued to look at her foolish and idiotic appearance, at some point she started to look like a child.
Of course, it was like this before, but I cried out that Gwen was possible because of her charm and quite desirable homunculus body.
‘Huh? Now that I think about it, it seems like something is bigger than before… She couldn’t have been tall. Now that I look at her breasts…’
“Hehe. Okay, stop touching her hair!”
“Gwen, you…”
“Why again? I won’t be mistaken anymore.”
“Did you really grow it? Your height and breasts.”
“…”
“I really did. For some reason, it seemed like it was taking a strangely long time even though it was so sticky. There was a reason.”
“Oh, no, that’s it! I can’t help it! I was unhappy with her height and her breasts!”
I laughed as I watched Gwen protesting that it was force majeure.
Because she lived alone for about 10 years after her death, and perhaps due to the influence of her poison, her personality became childlike.
Still, unlike her mental age, her body was in good shape.
So she probably didn’t need to be particularly greedy, but even though she understood it, she was also taken aback.
“Yeah, yeah. She can’t help it if she’s dissatisfied with it. But do it in moderation. If you get greedy, you’ll end up in trouble.”
“Yes, yes! I’m just making adjustments right now, so it’s almost finished.”
“Okay. Now let’s really go.”
“Oh, that’s right. I like it!”
First, Gwen excitedly chases Siwoo as he walks towards the entrance of her mansion.
As she quickly followed behind her with her excited stride, she looked slightly below him rather than in front of her.
Siwoo’s hand shaking in front of her.
She wanted to hold on to the warmth that had just stroked her head.
She was difficult to catch because she simply lacked courage.
‘That’s a strange thing.’
At first, all she felt for Han Si-woo was pure desire.
Even if the conversation worked, what was there at that time was a ghost made up of a dangerous level of necromancy and resentment.
The morale that had accumulated over not just one or two years, but 10 years was in a state where it would have run out of control if the direction had been wrong.
However, the reason he was able to stay fine was because of Siwoo’s enormous energy, divine power, and good looks.
So, I took care of her and joined his party as a transaction, not a transaction.
It didn’t change much after that.
Even when I was a ghost tied up in a mansion and even when I had the body of a homunculus, my sexual desires and greed took precedence.
But since when?
The feelings toward Siwoo began to change from simple sexual desire to something strange.
It is certain that it was after she had her body, but even she herself did not know at what point.
If you just look at the time we spent together, it wouldn’t be that long.
‘It’s amazing, hehe. I never thought there would come a moment when I would feel fortunate to die.’
If he hadn’t been killed by the trickster, he would have been around 30, and his necromancy would have increased, so he wouldn’t have joined Siu’s party.
Considering Siwoo’s greedy personality, they must have gotten involved somehow, but a lot of things would have been different from now.
I can only imagine, but I don’t think things would have been better than they are now.
‘Still, I’m not particularly grateful to that bastard.’
“Gwen?”
“Huh?”
“Why are you walking so awkwardly?”
“Huh? How did I walk?”
“The limbs come out on the same side.”
“…”
I guess I was so nervous that I walked strangely stiffly.
As Gwen stood still with her face red, Siwoo stretched out her hand, wondering why she was doing that.
“…!!”
“Let’s go quickly. Let’s just walk like this and then go out for lunch.”
“Oh, okay!”
I was hesitating because I didn’t have the courage, but I’m so grateful that they reached out their hand like this.
Gwen rushed to him in a panic, worried that he might take her hand away.
As a result, he lost his footing in the empty hallway and grabbed Siwoo’s arm just as he was about to fall.
“Ah.”
“Wow, I’m surprised. Be careful. I told you to go quickly, but I’m in a hurry.”
“…”
Of course, Siwoo couldn’t shake Gwen off as she clung to her arm.
I headed towards her front door with her, just as casually as I had originally intended to do so.
Gwen, who suddenly clung to Siwoo, also adjusted her stride and walked along calmly.
It was fall, approaching winter.
Sheila, who was looking out the window at the clear sky, suddenly uttered a word.
“It’s peaceful.”
After Han So-young, a warrior and leader, fell into trauma and distress and the party was disbanded.
Sheila took care of her best friend for several months, then returned to her hometown and set up an orphanage.
In the few years after the disbandment, other members got married and started families, but she did not.
The big thing is that there wasn’t a guy I liked, but there were many other reasons.
Anyway, she expected that she would live in her hometown for the rest of her life if there was no war, but surprisingly, her close friend came back to life.
When she said she would return as an SS-level warrior, she immediately left her work to others and came to Soyoung.
Until then, I thought she would stay busy by intensely touring dungeons and taking on missions.
The reality was quite leisurely.
“Uh huh. What a dangerous sound.”
“…?”
When she turned her head to see what she was saying, the party’s scout, Lutz, was clicking his tongue.
“Anyway, young people these days.”
“Yes…?”
“Such words are the most dangerous, you know. Then a huge accident can happen.”
“Not exactly… Uhm. No. I was wrong.”
“Yes, take my words to heart. From what I heard, there is a saying in the Cheonan Empire called ‘the night before the storm.’ It means that the night before a storm is quiet. I can’t say it’s absolutely right, but it’s still not wrong. Work is something that suddenly happens at some point. If it explodes, it will be hectic.”
“… I should rest when I can.”
Lutz laughed happily at the sight of Sheila understanding right away when he pretended.
This is why Han So-young’s party was good.
Everyone can communicate well, and their minds are alert.
Although there is Scarlett, she also has a fierce side, so she is quick to accept it.
“Yes.”
“Thank you for the advice. I’ve been a bit free these days, so I ended up making a mistake without realizing it.”
“Yes, that could be possible… No, but are we free? We just came back from a mission.”
Lutz was truly dumbfounded.
In fact, her message about peace was very funny.
The three of them are constantly taking on requests once every day or two, and Han So-young also joins from time to time, saying that her body and hands become stiff if she continues to rest. Even if she doesn’t leave the capital too much, it’s not like she can feel leisurely, regardless of the difficulty of her quest.
“Huh? Well, this isn’t enough.”
“Huh. … I see. You guys really deserve to be called the best hero party of all time.”
I’ve heard a lot about the extraordinary nature of Han So-young’s parties, but still, when I see them together, I click my tongue unconsciously.
How on earth did such a workaholic retire and rest in the countryside for so many years?
Perhaps there were no monsters or dungeons left in the countryside, or rather, the territory where Sheila lived.
“Tsk, tsk. You and Scarlett are so harsh. Sometimes I regret joining the party.”
“Don’t be like that.”
“Don’t be like that too much. If you’re bored, go out and play.”
“No, but…”
Sheila had a complicated expression in many ways.
Several months have passed since she followed Han So-yeong to the Kingdom of Palania, and during that time, she became friends with many people.
However, the scope of her network was very narrow.
At most, I took on a few people of similar age as Hanji and Hero as disciples.
It was because my personality wasn’t that sociable.
Because of this, when some of her close friends were busy with other schedules, she would become completely alone.
There is already a lot to talk about with her party members, Lutz and Scarlett, and Soyoung Han is infatuated with her daughter.
This was the reason why Sheila stayed in her room or party room except when she was on duty.
“This is so frustrating. Or maybe you should be looking for a guy too. Don’t you have any plans to date or get married?”
“Ugh. Please don’t say that. Mr. Lutz is alone.”
“Huh? I have a boyfriend?”
“Yes…?”
Lutz chuckled, looking at Sheila’s dumbfounded expression.
“No, well, I went to the royal castle and met a nice old man. He said he was a Palanian nobleman. We had a cup of tea, chatted, and decided to date. If I get married internationally at this age, I won’t get married because inheritance issues and other things will become complicated. “
“…?”
“Hehe. Didn’t I tell you? I’m really sorry about this. Ah, so what were we talking about?”
“… No.”
Sheila quietly looks away, feeling humiliated and defeated for some reason.
There is Scarlett who is just as uninterested in men as she is, but she is still young.
I thought this because I didn’t know her true identity as a vampire.
‘Ugh, somehow I feel…’
Why?
For some reason, for a moment, it seemed as if Han Si-woo’s face had passed through her head.
