Breaking Up With the Heroine in an Otome Game

32 – The female protagonist and the villainess (1)

032.

About ten minutes before the morning assembly begins.

– Yoo Gap-ryeong’s granddaughter Yoo Seol-hyeon succeeds in rescuing the heroes?

– Completely conquer the Yeongdeungsan dungeon! What’s next for the Gaonnuri Clan?

– “Rescue the missing warrior hero!” A cruel laboratory of half-human, half-animal monsters!

– “Was the academy student’s help really necessary?” Gaonnuri’s incompetence and reality.

Quite a lot of internet articles were published regarding this Yeongdeungsan dungeon.

Internet articles, social media, community sites, blogs, etc.

More attention was focused on Yoo Seol-hyeon than expected.

At most, I only cleared one dungeon, but the reason why so many people are interested is because Yoo Seol-hyeon was the granddaughter of the Korean legend Yoo Gap-ryeong.

She also highlighted the fact that she was just a trainee at an academy and that she was a blonde beauty with a beautiful appearance, making it easy for her to emerge as a hot potato.

There were many positive articles, but there were also many negative articles.

That’s because even veteran heroes couldn’t understand the fact that Yoo Seol-hyeon, who was just an academy trainee, participated in a dungeon raid that had failed once.

Considering common sense, the participation of academy trainees in an important situation where missing heroes had to be rescued had many controversial elements.

Of course, Yu Seol-hyeon’s abnormal abilities were very useful in her dungeon raid.

Aside from the fact that she was an academy trainee, Yoo Seol-hyeon could be said to be a pretty good person.

However, she would not be without someone from a large clan like Gown Nuri who could replace the academy trainee.

Therefore, people were busy biting each other, expressing their own thoughts in her comments as to why Yu Seol-hyeon was participating.

Because it was a hastily assembled team, there weren’t many heroes available, or because it was to build the career of Yoo Seol-hyeon, who is a member of Gaon Nuri’s blood, or because of internal circumstances due to her internal conflict.

‘But there isn’t much to say about me.’

Can we say that almost all attention was focused on Yoo Seol-hyeon?

She, like Yu Seol-hyeon, is also a trainee at the academy, recently received a commendation, and is one of the people who defeated the black-handed gibbon.

It wasn’t that there were no stories related to me, but compared to Yoo Seol-hyeon, it was nothing more than a short story.

“Seolhyun, Seolhyun! “I heard you played an active part in conquering the Yeongdeungsan dungeon?!”

“Wow, didn’t you defeat a monster that appeared at the academy not too long ago?”

“As expected, the level is different from other kids!”

Over there, far away.

The children of Yoo Seolhyun’s group were full of praise as always.

Like a tentacle, it chattered non-stop and poured out praise and praise.

Of course, I smiled to myself at the sight of the children having smoother tongues than usual.

Well, these days, Yoo Seol-hyun’s stock price has been on an upward curve due to the subjugation of the Academy Monster, receiving a commendation, and targeting Yeongdeungsan Mountain.

In times like this, you have to keep appealing and it will be easy to get the bait.

‘Ugh…… Anyway, since we successfully conquered the dungeon, we can say that we have successfully overcome the first crisis.’

What would have happened to Yoo Seol-hyeon if he had failed?

I already knew the contents of the game, so I knew the answer better than anyone else.

‘It’s not a completely over problem, but it’ll be okay for a while, right.’

Through this incident, I built a positive relationship with Yoo Seol-hyeon.

Yoo Seol-hyeon was very useful considering the future, so I was also very fortunate to be able to successfully complete the Yeongdeung Mountain expedition.

“But I heard he went with you too?”

“Oh, Jinhyuk Lee? “Then why did you go together?”

“He’s top in tactical evaluation. “Is that why?”

“Oh, at least it’s at the student level. “How can you hang out in a place where there are berets?”

Oh, of course, not only good things happen.

The more interest in Yoo Seol-hyeon increases, the more children will have negative feelings toward me.

“Oh, he also took a performance evaluation together, right?”

“I heard that we met alone at a cafe not long ago.”

“Isn’t there really something between you two?”

“Wow? f*ck, really?”

“No, sh*t, this is ridiculous. “What is Yoo Seol-hyun and Lee Jin-hyuk?”

“If it’s real…… Did Yoo Seol-hyun do that to build Lee Jin-hyuk’s career?”

“Oh, Yoo Seolhyun’s bus is sweet.”

Whisper whisper.

Some children continued their success.

They glance sideways at me and express their opinions.

‘It’s inevitable that gossip will arise.’

If you think about it, your meetings with Yoo Seol-hyeon have been quite frequent.

If it were the usual Yoo Seol-hyeon, the children would inevitably have doubts as she continued to meet people she would never get along with.

At the time of the performance evaluation, I thought it was because we were on the same team, but after that, the two of us met alone at a cafe, and they insisted on bringing me to rescue this dungeon…… Many things must have piled up to arrive at the current situation.

I wonder if there is something between me and Yoo Seol-hyeon.

‘Maybe because they are kids, they are sensitive to issues…….’

“Hey, Jinhyuk Lee? “I enjoyed reading the article.”

At that time, a hand suddenly placed on my shoulder.

I naturally flinched at the soft touch.

He was looking for someone, so he quickly moved his head and saw his childhood friend with a pouty face. What, it was Jin So-yeon.

“They said it hurts, but it’s a mess.”

Jin So-yeon, her flowing hair flying, sits on my desk and looks at me dissatisfied.

He doesn’t seem to be in a very good mood.

“Was the reason you were sick to go to the dungeon with Yoo Seol-hyeon? “Without me knowing?”

I stayed silent for a moment as Jin So-yeon strangely seemed to emphasize the name Yoo Seol-hyeon and the word secretly, and then she opened her lips.

“…… “You explained everything over the phone after clearing the dungeon, right?”

“I don’t understand it, but I understand it.”

Jin So-yeon eventually shook her head and let out a deep sigh.

“I mean Yoo Seol-hyun. Why did they tell you and take you to a place like a dungeon? And why did you follow me again?”

He raises his eyebrows and begins to express his dissatisfaction with a disapproving expression.

“I heard that even active-duty heroes failed to attack and how many people went missing? “What are you thinking about such a dangerous place?”

“Hmm.”

“I guess that’s because Yoo Seol-hyeon is from the Gaonnuri clan and has useful abilities for dungeon exploration. But what about you? “I don’t have any abnormal abilities or anything.”

“Hmm.”

“Why are you following me when I go to rescue missing people? How do you know what will happen in the dungeon? You’ve become weak. “Have you ever thought that you might die?”

Dadada.

Jin So-yeon’s unique nagging voice, shooting like an assault rifle.

It was a nagging worry that I hadn’t heard in a long time, so it was a new feeling.

The appearance was similar to that of a mother scolding a child who went to play alone at the water’s edge.

“But Soyeon.”

“What, why?”

“You did a lot of dangerous things in the past, right?”

“Huh?”

“Why is that there? When you were young, a kid had money stolen from him by bullies, and you blindly went to him and forced him to get it back, right? “Also, on a rainy day, I went into the water when the river was overflowing to save a drowning dog, and there was also a time when I threw myself into the water to save a child who was almost hit by a truck.”

This is a story about the past of a main character with a wild personality that could only appear in a boy’s cartoon.

“Every time you did that, I tried to stop you, asking what you were doing, but you kept asking me how I could leave you alone when you looked like you needed help.”

“Well, is that the same as this?”

Jin So-yeon hesitated with her slightly stricken face.

“Wouldn’t it be similar in a broad sense?”

I, Taeyeon, weakly shrugged her shoulders.

“People were going missing in the dungeon, and Yoo Seol-hyeon asked for help with that, and after looking at the research data, I thought I could help in some way, so I decided to participate.”

If you need help, it’s your duty to help? As she stared at Jin So-yeon with her eyes, she turned her head away with her lips pursed.

And then he blurts out one word.

“…… “Someone can help someone even though they are weak.”

Hey, are you going to keep calling me weak?

…… It’s true that it’s weak.

“In the first place, even veteran heroes allowed this? And it wasn’t that dangerous.”

Because of Yoo Seol-hyeon’s request, she had no choice but to accept me.

It was also very, very dangerous.

However, this is a fact that is not stated in the article.

Because there’s no good in letting you know that Yoo Seol-hyun and I almost died.

“In conclusion, I built my own career through conquering this dungeon, so it wasn’t a bad thing. Rescue people and build your career. “When will I try to conquer a dungeon or something again, right?”

“Sometimes I think you are more reckless than me. Actually, at that time, I… ….”

“Huh?”

Jin So-yeon lowered her head slightly and trailed off her words, making it hard to hear her last words.

I was looking at her for a moment, wondering what she had said, but Jin So-yeon quickly raised her head.

Jin So-yeon pretends! She does and she continues, pointing at me with her index finger.

“Anyway! “What does it end up being?”

“What?”

“Why did Yoo Seol-hyun take you to the dungeon?”

“I think they took me because they thought highly of my tactical ability during the performance evaluation. “That is more important than mediocre strength when conquering dungeons.”

“Ha.”

Jin So-yeon snorted with an absurd expression on her face.

This was her reaction when she heard something that didn’t even seem right.

Soon, Jin So-yeon shoots back with her piercing eyes.

“Do you think that makes sense? Tactical evaluation? First place in theory? Hey, you idiot. “There are several veteran heroes there, so why use an aspiring hero like you as an advisor?”

No, uh, um.

That’s right. Honestly, that’s true.

There is absolutely no reason to use an amateur like me.

…… Unless Yoo Seol-hyun thinks I have the ability to predict the future.

“No matter how good you were tactically in this performance evaluation, it makes no sense to take you, an amateur, to rescue personnel. “What on earth is Yoo Seol-hyun thinking?”

“Well? “I just followed Yoo Seol-hyeon because he said he needed help, but I don’t know what he was thinking.”

I had to say it in a clumsy way, so I felt like they would ask me a lot of questions, so I made a joke and tried to climb over it like I was climbing over a wall.

“Ha.”

Jin So-yeon twisted the ends of her hair and let out a deep sigh.

“Hey, Jinhyuk Lee.”

“What, why are you lowering your voice?”

“It’s noisy. I wasn’t going to say this. “There’s Yoo Seol-hyeon, she.”

Jin So-yeon noticed the other kids in her class and quietly approached them and started muttering in their ears.

I felt like he was trying to say something that other people shouldn’t say.

“I heard there were bad rumors about him when he was in middle school.”

“Rumors?”

“Uh. What do you mean, you were hitting the boyfriend of a girl you had a bad relationship with?”

There is such a setting.

Of course, rather than hitting the tail, there are many cases where the boy misunderstands and says, ‘Oh, Yoo Seol-hyun, does he like me?’ Because he smiles a few times.

The reason why Yoo Seol-hyeon did that in the first place was to get into trouble because several girls who were jealous of her were spreading malicious rumors.

Also, although she smiled with a lot of intention, it would be a bit excessive to say that she was biting her tail.

Actually, Yoo Seol-hyun is probably an idiot based on the setting.

Hmm. It’s a tail slap from a certain beauty……

This is a truly subcultural setting.

“Anyway, what’s going on? Are you talking behind my back like this? Oh, did you do it last time too?”

“I think it might be because of me that Yoo Seol-hyun is being close to you these days.”

“So what you’re saying is, you’re intentionally pretending to be friendly with me to get in trouble for me?”

“…… It’s a bit strange to say it so blatantly, but I guess it feels similar. Anyway, okay.”

“But you and I are just friends. Why me?”

“First of all, he’s my ex-boyfriend. “I guess that’s why.”

I swallowed slightly at Jin So-yeon’s words.

It certainly seems that Jin So-yeon thinks poorly of Yoo Seol-hyeon.

Thinking about the future, the relationship between the two needed to improve a little.

“Isn’t that the reason Yoo Seol-hyeon took you with her?”

“That’s a bit much.”

“…… But. That’s right. Because conquering a dungeon is no joke.”

Jin So-yeon slowly shook her head alone, saying she had gone too far.

I watched him intently and then said a word.

Because she had such a bad opinion of Yoo Seol-hyeon.

“Anyway, don’t think too negatively of Yoo Seol-hyeon.”

“Huh?”

I got a promise from Yoo Seol-hyeon that I wouldn’t bother you anymore.

“After talking to him in person, I realized he wasn’t that bad… ….”

“Oh, that’s strange?”

Sprout.

Jin So-yeon cuts me off and looks at me because she is far away.

Golden eyes quietly take in my face.

“A childhood friend of 10 years is now taking Yoo Seol-hyun’s side?”

“Well, not a child, where is my side on your side?”

“Ha. It’s like a man. “Did you just fall for her because Yoo Seol-hyun seemed to be kind to her?”

“I said no.”

Oh, maybe it was just a scrape from scratching for no reason.

I think I annoyed her a little because I didn’t talk much.

If you think about it, Jin So-yeon could have been offended by words that seemed strangely partisan.

“Ha, okay, that’s enough, that’s enough.”

“You’re not upset, are you?”

“…… “You’re not upset?”

Jin So-yeon gets up from the desk she was sitting on and heads outside her classroom.

“What, where are you going?”

“I’m going to the bathroom, why?”

“Is your homeroom teacher coming soon?”

“Hmph, I can come back right away?”

With those words, Jin So-yeon runs away without looking back.

“…… “I really wonder how we can improve the relationship between those two people.”

All I could do was look at the place where Jin So-yeon had gone and gently scratch the back of her neck.

While picturing in her head the idea of making the heroine and her villainous daughter friends.

***

‘What is Jinhyuk like? Look at how he takes my side immediately after I said a few words about Yoo Seolhyun. ‘Are you fooled by a pretty girl who pretended to be friendly to you?’

Jin So-yeon washed her hands dissatisfiedly in the bathroom sink.

‘He’s a man too. Until now, I wasn’t particularly interested in other girls, so now why bother with Yoo Seol-hyun…… Ha.’

If it weren’t for Yoo Seol-hyun, I would have congratulated him…….

Yes, …… Congratulations, I would have congratulated you.

It must have been like that.

Why did you end up with a girl like Yoo Seol-hyun?

That’s why she felt like this. She thought that Jin So-yeon would never feel this way if she had something with a good enough girl.

‘By the way, why does Yoo Seol-hyun keep bothering me? ….’

Squeak.

With the sound of the bathroom door opening, someone came in.

It was already almost time for the morning meeting, so I checked my back through the sink mirror to see who it was.

“Hello, Soyeon?”

Yoo Seol-hyeon was approaching with a smiling face.
