chapter 52
Episode 52-Buck-Buck?
“hahahahaha… Did I leave without saying a word?”
As she slowly stretched out the tail of her horse, she looked at Gahyeon’s eyes and saw that she was glaring at her with her sad blue eyes unchanged at all.
‘I don’t think it will pass easily.’
“I must have fallen asleep while talking on the phone, but why are you here, our Joo-eun?”
Gahyeon, who came to me with strides, grabbed my cheek and stretched it out.
Tears welled up in considerable pain as the soft cheeks stretched from side to side in an instant.
“Ouch! It hurts!”
“Aah, pain can’t be the answer, Joo-eun.”
-Hip!
“Oops!”
The rabbit that was riding on my shoulder made a strange noise and bit Gahyeon.
Gahyeon removed her hand from my cheek, perhaps surprised by the sudden chill.
“What is this rabbit…”
-Hip!
When Gahyeon looked at the rabbit with wary eyes, the rabbit looked up at Gahyeon making a strange noise like before.
‘No, some rabbit in this world cries out loud.’
It’s not some kind of chick or goose…
“Could you calm down and give me a chance to explain?”
Thanks to her interest in rabbits, Gahyeon’s anger temporarily subsided.
“Okay, let’s hear what happened.”
There was a way to get out of the situation through a suitable lie, but I didn’t want to take the risk.
Moreover, since Park Soo-hyun was also in gag mode with his hands up, he might try to escape the crisis with a lie and get stabbed in the back of the head by Park Soo-hyun.
“I can’t just be protected by you guys. I needed to take an adventure to gain strength.”
“You didn’t have to move without talking to us.”
“I didn’t want to trouble you guys. I wanted to take it with my own strength.”
Gahyeon turned her head without a word and stared at Park Suhyeon.
I saw Park Soo-hyun hurriedly straightening his arms at the gaze that was suddenly focused on him.
“Then what is he? I can’t and he can?”
“I didn’t call him to come out either.”
Gahyeon glanced at Park Soo-hyun and saw that Park Soo-hyun hurriedly nodded his head.
“Then why did you come out?”
“I also came out aiming for the essence of moonlight. But when I saw Lee Joo-eun come out of the dormitory, I thought that she suited him more than me, so I only helped her get this far.”
We didn’t lie.
“Did you say it was the essence of moonlight? How did you know that there was an essence here?”
“There is a separate information network. Perhaps Lee Joo-eun also has a separate information network.”
It’s funny how that information network is that one person is possessed and the other is information as a player.
“…Do I have to believe you?”
“Even if you don’t believe my words, can’t you trust Lee Joo-eun’s words?”
Park Soo-hyun struck a follow-up while Gahyeon was looking at me with a complicated expression.
“Even if Lee Ju-eun lied to you, wouldn’t there be a reason?”
At Park Soo-hyun’s soft words, Gahyeon finally nodded his head.
“Yes, it’s not like we didn’t talk about it because we didn’t like it.”
Park Soo-hyun tried to get up from her seat, feeling the cold atmosphere loosen up, but…
“Don’t wake up. I’m still angry.”
“Yes.”
*******
-Hip! Bum bap!
The rabbit that cried while whimpering attracted the attention of many cadets every time it cried.
“So. This is the strength Joo-eun gained after going out last night and working hard?”
Even if you were a high school student, it seems that you only acted a little bit of aegyo… Even if you were a rabbit obtained through aegyo, I had a strong feeling that you were very far from the power of the essence I know.
No matter how careless I was, seeing how I dropped Gahyeon’s hand just by biting it, it definitely seemed to be helpful, but I didn’t think it would be as useful as my coldness.
“For now, isn’t it?”
“Isn’t it because it’s cute though?”
Jisoo petted the rabbit while smiling.
Looking at him smiling like that, he looked so bright that it was hard to believe that he was originally going to tear me apart.
‘Is it really up to you to handle people?’
Of course, no matter how bad Lee Joo-eun in the game handled Ji-soo properly, the sin of tearing people apart with her obsession was not forgiven.
“But what’s this kid’s name?”
Since I didn’t particularly block Jisoo’s touch, the rabbit was also accepting Jisoo’s touch without much resistance.
“A name… Not really?”
“You cry while walking, so how is it?”
“How is Elizabeth?”
Seoyeon covered her mouth with her hand and smiled slightly as she spoke, and anyone could see her playful expression.
“Elizabeth is fine. I agree.”
“Yes?”
Gahyeon-i smiled brightly and agreed, but Seo-yeon struggled in embarrassment.
“No… I was just kidding…”
“Are you kidding about choosing a name? It might be a joke for you, but for this kid, it’s a name you can use for the rest of your life!”
The words “You’re just kidding right now” Came up to the top of my throat, but I didn’t bother interrupting the flow because the scene where the kids were playing comfortably looked so comfortable.
“I like hit-and-run.”
“Let’s do Elizabeth!”
Perhaps tired of seeing the three women fighting over their names, the rabbit whimpered and ran towards me.
“What name do you like?”
-Fallen evil.
The rabbit let out a chic cry as if it had nothing to do with it and climbed onto my shoulder.
“As expected, you like the name Bpaengbyeon?”
Jisoo asked with his eyes twinkling, but the rabbit only fixed his eyes on me and didn’t even look at Jisoo.
“I don’t think I have anything to do with it, so how can I call it?”
“Then I’ll call you Pip-Pip, so you guys can call me Elizabeth.”
“Why don’t you say your last name is Elizabeth and your first name is Pip?”
That’s how the rabbit got the bizarre name Elizabeth Pip-Pip.
******
Hit-and-run followed me wherever I went.
I don’t know if he’s doing it to protect me or if he’s just sticking by my side because I’m the owner, but he didn’t fall off my shoulder no matter where I went in the academy, so I got a lot of attention.
‘Isn’t it because of him that we get attention?’
Considering that the gaze that started with looking at the hitman was eventually fixed on my face, wouldn’t it be my face, not the hitman, that draws attention?
It’s been a while since I’ve had my face covered, and I tend to do a lot of strange things.
-Hip-Hip!
I followed him inside until I washed him, but I felt a strangely happy tone, so I unknowingly left it outside and washed it.
‘Ah… I can’t believe it, right?’
Momentarily, I had doubts that the moon rabbit might share the look of the hitman, but I soon put it aside.
It’s not because I have such a strong trust in Moon Rabbit that I don’t need to doubt it, but because I already had someone watching over me, so I didn’t have to be sensitive to the addition of one more person.
As I stroked my forehead slowly, I felt something warm.
The Seeker’s stigma doesn’t come out externally, so it’s probably just a whim.
‘I have to erase this stigma someday.’
Even if Seekers weren’t ordinary monsters, their identity as monsters didn’t disappear.
The things I have to do in the future will eventually be things that will cause great damage to monsters for the sake of mankind, but I couldn’t think that Seeker would just sit and watch those things.
If I couldn’t erase it, I had to prepare a way to attack the Seeker and make it stand on the side of humanity, or at least temporarily neutralize the stigma.
After finishing the shower with this and that thought in mind, I came out and saw the thief staring at me.
The reason why Baekbaengi’s expression looks like he’s regretting it must be because of my mood, right?
*******
-Hip!
“Bpaengppya, I can understand being quiet, but let’s be quiet for now.”
-Pip.
In response to my words, Bbaepppyi answered in a small voice.
You could ask why I was so nervous, but I couldn’t help it.
No matter how important ki is, it is impossible to just watch it in the library as it is.
[Would you like to read the book ?]
‘Oh, I’ll read it.’
The default rare books in the library were the 3 books I read in the beginning, but there are occasions when new books are introduced along with rare books.
In normal gameplay, you have to find out what the rare books are by touching all the books, but I already knew the names of all the rare books, so I didn’t have to go through that labor.
[I have read the book .]
[Somehow, I feel like I can understand the words of a hitman.]
How many ambiguous marks are there in one sentence?
– What’s wrong?
“It’s okay. You don’t have to be quiet anymore.”
Boom from the sky when I took the chubby on my shoulder and went outside! A voice was heard.
‘Fortunately, the timing seems right.’
“It’s a dragon!!”
After a while, the proper event began.
