Chapter 264 – Truth and Lies (3)
A romantic relationship with Siu.
Unlike previous episodes, Siwoo and I were in a relationship in this episode.
Nevertheless, unlike other rounds, I have never had a proper date.
However, seeing each other face to face like this made me feel a little strange.
A street where monsters roam, in no other situation.
It was awkward to go on a date not far from that street, at the playground where Siwoo and I used to play often when we were children.
“I’m sorry I suddenly asked you to go on a date here.”
Siwoo puts on an apologetic expression.
Looking at Siwoo’s face like that, I shook my head.
“No, it’s okay.”
-It’s not okay at all.
Lee Ji-eun grumbled.
The reason she grumbled so much was so simple.
Lee Ji-eun openly expresses her displeasure at the fact that she did not decorate at all when meeting her lover.
It was because I headed to the playground with Siu in a normal state despite Lee Ji-eun’s brushing.
-You’re on a date, so why don’t you dress up?
“It’s your lover, not mine.”
A situation where you have no choice but to draw the line accurately.
Siwoo in this world was Lee Ji-eun’s lover, not mine.
Park Si-woo, who Lee Ji-eun likes and loves.
However, as an existence possessed by Lee Ji-eun’s body, I maintained an ambiguous relationship with Si-woo.
So, I had no desire to look good for him.
Moreover, in this episode, since I was already in a relationship, I had little desire to make things work out with Siwoo.
To be honest, I don’t mind ignoring Siwoo’s sudden request for a date.
However, Lee Ji-eun inside of me heard that it was a date and strongly conveyed this request to my body, so I had no choice but to follow her words.
Anyway, the playground arrived under this background.
The playground was undamaged, just like the Tempestor’s vision.
It felt as if the attack of monsters had missed.
As a result, I couldn’t even figure out how to react while looking at this playground.
Unlike me, who is perplexed, Siwoo is calm in this situation.
Holding my hand tightly, he slowly led me by the hand and started walking around the playground.
“Do you remember this place?”
“This place?”
-You idiot. This is the place where Siwoo and I first asked to date.
A place where Lee Ji-eun emphasizes even by giving her face.
The place was none other than in front of the swing.
The memory of Lee Ji-eun is embedded in my head.
I relived that memory and rewinded the moment when Siwoo and Jieun Lee started dating.
Park Si-woo and Lee Ji-eun, who just rode on the swing as usual.
Meanwhile, Siwoo stopped the wobbly swing and looked at Lee Ji-eun.
And he spoke softly, as if in a small whisper.
That was the moment when Lee Ji-eun and Park Si-woo started dating.
Starting with that opportunity, Lee Ji-eun and Park Si-woo became a couple.
Short story.
However, I didn’t know the reason for bringing up this story, so I looked at Siwoo with an awkward smile.
“Of course I remember.”
“At that time, to be honest, I think I confessed so hastily because my heart was more urgent than I thought.”
“Why are you confessing all of a sudden?”
“Does it look like that?”
“Huh.”
Siwoo smiled at those words.
I couldn’t help but put on a puzzled expression at his playful behavior.
As Siwoo goes ahead, the illusions begin to appear in front of his eyes.
The welcome… It wasn’t the kind of illusion Tempest had shown.
This…
“Nonsense… “
The nonsense that comes out of my mouth.
The reason was very clear.
A wooden horse ride that moves back and forth.
It was because I was swaying on top of the balloon in a vulgar attire.
Man standing in front of him.
That man was none other than Kim Deok-bae, the second NTR man.
As a teacher in charge of the swimming club, the existence that pushed me into despair.
Intimidated by that existence, I had no choice but to be harassed on a wooden horse in such a vulgar outfit.
“Ah… No… This… How is this… “
-… Really?
Lee Ji-eun, like me, sees this situation clearly.
She too was questioning me in her trembling voice.
“Do you see this too?”
– Since it’s welcome, of course I can see it too.
“So I mean… “
The illusion disappeared before the words were finished.
When the illusion disappeared, the surroundings returned to their original form.
A state in which the illusion has disappeared.
In a place where there were no illusions, Siwoo stood alone.
“What happened?”
Siwoo is watching as if nothing happened.
Seeing that, I looked at him with a blank expression.
“Ah… Ah… No, nothing happened.”
“… Are you okay?”
“Eww… Yes I’m fine.”
Siwoo asks about my condition.
At his words, I nodded.
Siwoo goes ahead.
I naturally started walking inside the park with him.
“Also… Again?”
Welcome back.
This welcome was held in a space where you can sit and rest, not anywhere else.
A woman sitting there being bullied by a male student.
She already knew who the woman was.
“That too… Lee, Ji – Eun… It was.”
-… Mind… That’s right. First round… It was the time of the golden sun.
The one who made me fall into hell like this.
Due to the golden sun that was aiming at me, my life after that had no choice but to change completely.
Of course, there are parts that are mixed with Lee Ji-eun’s tendency to fall, but
Even taking that into account, the contribution of Taeyang Geum, who led Lee Ji-eun to the path of corruption in the first episode, was also an undeniable part.
The illusion I see in front of me right now is the moment Lee Ji-eun and Geum Tae-yang meet.
So, it was the time when Geum Tae-yang threatened Lee Ji-eun and gradually subdued her.
It’s the past, so it’s a bit of a black-and-white illusion.
In the midst of such a welcome, something began to shine brightly in Lee Ji-eun’s hand.
“What is that… ?”
I approach as if possessed by something.
I approached the illusion to see the identity of the glowing thing in Lee Ji-eun’s hand that seemed to be an illusion.
“This… “
The thing that shines in Lee Ji-eun’s hand is none other than a smartphone.
On the screen of the smartphone, there was a chocolate talk sent by Siwoo, not anyone else.
“Choco Talk asking if you went in carefully… Ah… !”
-It happened after the relationship with Siwoo…
The situation after he forced himself into a relationship with Siwoo because he thought he would lose the first time to Taeyang.
Of course, I remembered the moment when I was very disappointed with Siwoo’s poor things at the time.
Looking at it now, it’s something I can’t quite comprehend.
Even if she didn’t like her size or physical strength, it was clear that if she had acted more aggressively with Reference Siu, she would not have been corrupted by the gold sun.
The moment when he lacked patience because he had already been harassed by Golden Sun several times.
Of course, this was entirely my opinion.
“… “
The illusion disappeared as I stepped back like that.
I left the illusion behind and looked around to find the real Siu.
A park full of unknown energy.
They walked around the park looking for Siu, but there was no trace of Siu.
“Siwoo! Park Siwoo! Where are you?”
– You know there’s no answer even if you say that.
“I still have to try it.”
-… It’s futile.
Lee Ji-eun is having a hard time because the bad memories in her memory appear as illusions.
That’s why she gave up in a low voice, as if she wanted to give up everything.
“If Tempester is around here, Siu could be in danger.”
-… That’s right.
When I persuaded her that Siwoo was in danger, Jieun Lee’s voice regained strength.
I read her extensively and moved forward with her.
As we move forward, the illusion reappears.
This illusion was one of hypnotic otaku following Kim Deok-bae and Geum Tae-yang.
A welcome otaku and a situation with no memory of coming to the park.
But the vision in front of me was me walking in the park hypnotized by an otaku, with her naked and on a leash.
“… I don’t remember this… “
-… It’s in my memory
“What are you talking about?”
-It’s a memory in my memory.
“Therefore… This is what I looked like when I was hypnotized by an otaku?”
-To borrow your expression, it wasn’t you who suffered, it was me.
Lee Ji-eun’s voice.
The anger towards the otaku was so strong that it was difficult to say anything.
Lee Ji-eun in the illusion of seeing Lee Ji-eun’s feelings.
Maybe because of hypnosis… Or maybe she was genuinely happy, walking around the park naked with a bright smile on her face.
-Let’s find Siwoo quickly.
“I guess I should.”
Looking at the atmosphere so far, it is a situation where you can see that everything I suffered and Lee Ji-eun suffered came out as a welcome.
Among the NTR men who harassed Jieun Lee, Taeyang Kim, Deokbae Kim, and hypnosis otaku came out… All that’s left is…
“I knew you would come out.”
Lee Ji-eun sitting on a chair in the park.
Kim Sang-soo, a man sitting next to Lee Ji-eun and making a sinister expression.
He was the first man I deliberately moved to go out into this world.
The first aid relationship with Lee Ji-eun’s body.
To be honest, I feel really sorry for Siwoo, but there were many good things about meeting Kim Sangsu at that time.
-Do you really think so?
“… I’m sorry about you… To be honest, I didn’t have my own Siu.”
-… I see.
Your own Sioux.
It’s kind of embarrassing for me to say this, but I didn’t have Siwoo.
Siwoo, who we are talking about here, is someone who can be on my side and become my will.
So, I was the kind of person who came to this world and comforted me.
I could have been that kind of existence to Siwoo…
Unfortunately, I was possessed by Lee Ji-eun’s body and was at a time when I was thinking about my identity between a man and a woman, so I couldn’t become a person who could be depended on by Si-woo.
Even though he’s older than Siwoo, there were moments when he couldn’t say he was a better adult.
In those moments, I was just struggling.
“… But the good news is that this is the end.”
-… That’s it.
Lee Ji-eun, who sympathizes with my words.
As she said, the end of this illusion is finally beginning to appear.
There are a total of four NTR men I’ve been through.
Since Kim Sang-soo was the last to see all the illusions, there were no more illusions.
As if my thoughts were correct, something began to glow at what seemed to be the end of this place full of illusions.
“This is the exit, right?”
-Outside the exit…
Lee Ji-eun’s anxious voice.
But I couldn’t be in these illusions like this.
“I’ll still have to go forward.”
-That’s right.
The situation that arrived at the end of the welcome like that.
When I reached the end of the illusion, I was back at the entrance of the park where Siu and I were.
“Here is… “
“This is the place where I confessed to you.”
Siwoo came next to me as if he had been waiting for it.
From Siwoo like that… I started to feel a strange aura.
He looks like Shiwoo, but he doesn’t feel like Shiwoo.
So I had no choice but to take a guarded posture right away.
“Illusion of the Tempest… ?”
“Whoops… “
Siwoo makes a strange noise and smiles.
He raised one hand and began to gather a huge amount of mana he had never felt before.
“What… Magic attribute?”
“Okay. Now is the time to fulfill the wishes of the owner of this body… You don’t have to hide your power anymore.”
Shiu smiled brightly.
A huge horn sprouted from above his head.
