The Regressor Sells Giyeon 82

Chapter 82 – Crossover

#082.

Gaon looked at Hayeon, who was sitting calmly in a tent that could easily accommodate three adults, and asked Chorin.

“Then Lee Cho-rin, please be vigilant.”
“Yes! Leave it to me.”

Ha-yeon regained her energy thanks to Cho-rin’s healing, but she couldn’t move because her neurotoxin wasn’t completely gone.

Now, like the last time I consumed the elixir, I had to use mana to drain the remaining poison from her body.

It’s dangerous if you get in the way at this time.
Chorin knows that too, so he decides to go out of the tent and guard her so that Gaon won’t be bothered.

Chorin left, and Gaon, who had been looking at her for a while, took a seat behind her and raised his hand.

“Then do it.”
“Yes, Master. I will believe you.”

Ha Yeon smiled and nodded her head willingly.
As she relaxed and closed her eyes, Gaon let out a long breath and placed both palms on her back.

The mana that had been consumed during the previous fight had already been restored while moving and setting up her tent.

Feeling the fullness of her dantian, Gaon drew her mana and penetrated it into Hayeon’s body through her palm.

The mana that flowed softly like the wind went through her whole body blood and veins in detail and embraced all remaining impurities.

Except for the poison, all the turbid energy that existed here and there, albeit insignificantly, was wrapped in the energy of warming and forcibly jumped on the air current and ran all over the body.

In particular, as I concentrated on cleaning the areas where her nerves were concentrated, Ha-yeon’s pale face gradually began to liven up.

A light blush bloomed, and her spine, which had been limp and limp, straightened little by little, recovering her normal appearance.

Gaon did not lose his concentration until the end, examining every corner of his body, then recovering his energy and concentrating it into his fingertips.

“Whoa—for now, the treatment is over. Please wait here for a bit.”
“Master… Are you okay?”

Hayeon also found out that Gaon had transferred the miasma that existed in her body to her own.

Of course, it wasn’t just a sacrifice. She only pulled it out while wrapped in her mana to safely dispose of it.

But whatever the reason, the feeling of gratitude doesn’t go away.

No one would want to put poison in their body. Ha-yeon felt the warmth that she cared for her to the point of risking such a thing.

Her heart pounded and spread a pleasant beating sound. Naturally, deep affection for Gaon stood in her eyes.

Of course, Gaon was indifferent to Hayeon’s gaze.

“Don’t worry unnecessarily.”
“Yes, thank you, Master.”

Gaon took a last look at Hayeon’s condition, and decided that there was no problem, so he set out in the tent. As soon as she came out, Chorin, who stood guard, approached her.

“Gaon, how have you been?”
“Once the treatment is over. Excuse me for a moment. We need to release the poison.”
“Yes? Is it poison?”

Chorin tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand.
It is strange that the gaon that went in to release the poison must be discharged again.

Gaon explained in a way that made it easier for her to understand.

“I didn’t have enough mana to pull it out at once, so I moved it into my body. We need to get them out quickly before they scatter.”
“Yes!? Why would you do that… ! Let it drain quickly!”
“Yes. I need to cut off your finger, so step aside.”

Gaon pushed Chorin away a little, then pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist and slashed the index finger of his left hand, which was holding a takgi together.

Peit-

The dagger, swung without hesitation, drew a line on his finger. The line quickly became red and opened, and soon blood mixed with takki began pouring out.

Blood mixed with all kinds of waste and poison gave off a terrible smell. Gaon deliberately used mana to stop the bleeding so that it wouldn’t stop.

The blood flowed without knowing the end.
Beneath it, the dark-red sand tells how much blood is pouring out.

Gaon continued to squeeze blood until there was no mite left, and when he realized that it had all been discharged, he stopped the bleeding.

When he turned his head, he saw a tired expression on his face.

She looked at the floor where her blood dripped, saw the cut on her finger, and hurriedly came over and wrapped her hands around Gaon’s.

“Grant.”

At the same time as the low voice, green magic burst out and healed the wound in an instant. Within a second, her fingers were all right.

The moment Gaon was about to thank her, Chorin started nagging.

“You should have told me earlier! I mean, I was surprised.”
“Sorry.”
“Did you have to do this? Then, if Mr. Gaon is poisoned, what is she doing!”
“But it would have taken a long time if I hadn’t done this. It was better for her to deal with it as quickly as possible.”
“It is, but…”

Chorin broke her heart.
She hates Ha-yeon being sick, but the most precious thing to her is Ga-on.

If Gaon had to be sick in order to treat Hayeon, I could only see it as a turn of events. Chorin wanted to scold her, but she lowered her head, thinking that she was doing too much for someone who had treated her so hard.

“… Thanks for your efforts.”
“You did a great job, Lee Cho-rin. She must have been surprised, but go in and let her rest. I’ll sleep well tonight and go back tomorrow.”

Chorin raised her head and looked at Gaon.
Even in this situation, it was heartbreaking to see her worrying about others before herself.

Since everything worked out for her anyway, she thought that it would be best to let her go in moderation here, so she let out a long breath and tried to smile.

“All right. Then call me later. I have to do it alternately. If you don’t call me, I’ll be really angry. Got it?”
“Of course. I am pretty tired too.”

Chorin asked at Gaon’s words as he pressed his temple.

“I’m tired?”
“Yes. Well, expelling the poison was quite a waste of energy. Get some sleep and you will be fine.”

At worst, she wasn’t that tired compared to the times she hadn’t slept for a week.

She was Gaon who spoke lightly, but her thoughts were different from Chorin.

“Then I’ll start the vigil first. I’d rather do that. Mr. Gaon, go in and sleep.”
“… Lee Cho-rin?”
“Why. Come on in. I’m fine, so this is the right thing to do. Right?”
“It is.”

The order of wakefulness is not so important.
What does it matter who is standing at any time? If there were more than three people to stand watch, the person in the middle would be at a disadvantage, but they weren’t.

He has no intention of making Ha-yeon stay vigil, and in the end, the two of them have to take turns staying vigil, because either way is equally difficult.

When Chorin seemed to agree with Gaon, she pushed her back as if pushing.

“Then go to sleep! I’m counting down the hours from now on, so it’s no use even if I go to bed late! Come on!”
“… Excuse me then.”
“Okay, see you in a little while.”

Gaon headed for the tent with a heavier body than usual. She then laid her body next to Ha-yeon, who was soundly asleep, and closed her eyes.

A dangerous day passes.

***

“Gaon-san, wake up.”

Gaon, who had been quietly sleeping, opened her eyes at Chorin’s touch. She must have been very tired considering that she usually jumped up as soon as she touched her hand.

In the midst of Chorin’s worrying young eyes, Gaon, who quickly chased away her drowsiness by washing her face dry, raised her tent.

“Thank you for your effort. You must be tired, but go to sleep.”

Saying that, Gaon left the tent.
Chorin, who had been staring at her back, hurriedly followed her and stopped her hand from unzipping the zipper on her entrance.

“No. Let’s go out together. I have something to tell you.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Yeah, it’s over soon, so let’s go. Because Ha-yeon might wake up.”

At Chorin’s words, Gaon’s gaze turned to Hayeon.
Seeing her asleep with a fresh, lively face, she stepped aside, relieved to see that her body was completely restored to normal.

“All right. Then come out.”
“Okay, don’t worry, the conversation will be over soon.”
“I am not worried.”

With Gaon’s blunt answer, the two of them left the tent and sat side by side in front of the magic lantern.

The desert at night is cold. Because there are no clouds or plants to trap the heat, the low warmth is quickly dissipated. In severe cases, the temperature difference between day and night can exceed 60 degrees.

In the past, I barely beat the cold by lighting a bonfire, but magic lanterns only emit light, but do not emit heat.

Even so, the two of them didn’t mind because of the magic cloak they bought before leaving for the Devil’s Land. This cloak was enchanted with thermoregulation magic, so it was possible to overcome moderate levels of cold or heat.

Chorin’s voice tickled her ears as he stared at the magic lantern’s light and was silent.

“Gaon, since when did you follow me?”

After all, is this the first question?

Mere coincidence cannot show up at such a critical moment with good timing. Of course, it was more correct to assume that he had been tailing him before then.

Gaon replied calmly, thinking that he did not have to hide it.

“… It is from the beginning.”
“From the beginning… Then, by any chance, were you close to us on the first night?”
“…”

When I turned my head, I saw a pair of agitated eyes.
If it’s her first night, it’s definitely the day Ha-yeon asked her about her relationship with her Ga-on.

As Gaon looked down silently, Chorin bit her lips.

‘Did I hear?’

Even thinking about it now makes me feel ashamed.
It was because I was too clumsy to respond even if I thought about it myself. Fortunately, Ha-yeon was easily fooled because of her simple personality, but there was no guarantee that Ga-on would be the same.

Perhaps noticing her anxiety, Gaon turned her head and said.

“No. It wasn’t close. Because I had to follow her secretly. I tried to rule out the possibility of being caught as much as possible.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. And you might be changing clothes inside, so you can’t peek at it.”

This is a lie.
Gaon thought that even if she excused herself a little, it would be better for her to cut off the source of danger, so there was never a day she didn’t peek.

But Chorin can’t figure it out.
All she could do was believe Gaon’s words.

“I see…”

Gaon’s answer made Chorin feel relieved and disappointed at the same time. She’s really shameless, but with the idea that she shouldn’t be seen, she’d rather be exposed and she’d rather hear something back.

Anyway, the important thing is that Gaon doesn’t know the conversation that night. This would allow her to carry out the plans she had put together during the dawn.

“Gaon, don’t be too surprised and listen.”
“Yes.”
“I have Hayeon, right? He said he saw the two of us doing it. So, how about keeping some distance for the time being?”

Ever since she heard about the push-and-pull from the librarian in the study, she’s been thinking about it. How can she progress in her relationship with Gaon?

Pushing her away is not good for her either.
Due to Gaon’s personality, once pushed away, she thinks she hates herself, and there is even a possibility that she will completely fold her mind about Chorin.

In such a situation, an incident occurred in which Ha-yeon noticed the relationship between the two.

She, of course, told Ha-yeon that she was not a lover, but she could be sure that she wouldn’t flirt or do anything to Ga-on now that he knew she was a sex partner anyway.

So, isn’t now an opportunity?
Opportunity to justify push-and-pull without having to take the risk of being completely pushed out of Gaon!

Chorin was even feeling the pressure that if she let go of now, she would never be able to connect with Gaon.

She slowly explained to the silent Gaon.

“There may be some misunderstandings. Right? It’s difficult for Gaon too. So, for the time being, let’s refrain from the relationship. Got it?”

Chorin’s emerald eyes met Gaon’s jet-black eyes. Even though they are looking into each other’s eyes, they cannot even guess what they are thinking.

Gaon replied.

“… All right.”

If Chorin wanted this, there was no reason for him to refuse. She hates being misunderstood by Ha-yeon, but how can she hold on to it?

Gaon felt a strange emptiness and accepted Chorin’s proposal.

Thus, the relationship between the two diverged.
