The Heroine Saves the World

The heroine saves the world

Episode 44

Why are you saying such sad things?

“Teacher, how old are you this year?”

“I’m thirty-two years old.”

“Then there’s only a nine year age difference between us.”

“Miss Yeoju.”

Seo Yu-baek looked at me with an expression on his face as if to say, ‘What should I do with this child?’

“A nine-year age gap is a big deal, especially for someone like Yeoju who has barely become an adult yet. You should date someone who is a little more appropriate for your age.”

“but…….”

I didn’t back down.

“I don’t think age is that important in becoming friends.”

That’s right!

I don’t know if you’ll notice it when you’re in school, but once you’re out in society, aren’t you basically the same age if you’re three years older or younger?

And although Seo Yu-baek is nine years older than me, honestly, his face is still so plump that I would believe he is in his mid-twenties.

“…….”

But Seo Yu-baek was silent for a moment.

In silence, I watched all kinds of thoughts pass through that white, clean face.

Was asking to be friends really such a big deal?

Did I cross the line?

Just as he was starting to become more and more timid, Seo Yu-baek asked.

“Really… you were saying we should be friends?”

“I don’t think I beat around the bush.”

“Oh, yeah. That’s right.”

Seo Yu-baek mutters as he takes off his glasses and washes his face dry.

“Teacher, are you okay?”

“Yeah, just for a moment… I felt like trash.”

If the gentlemanly man Seo Yu-baek is trash, then what am I?

“If someone like you is trash, then I am trash that doesn’t burn. That’s good, trash cans are friends.”

Seo Yu-baek, who suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly at my words, adjusted his glasses, straightened his back, and returned to his proper posture.

It was the familiar appearance of Seo Yu-baek.

“Okay, let’s do that.”

The purpose of coming here has been achieved.

“Oh my, time flies so fast. I have plans for the next day, so I’ll go and take a look. If you’re bored, call me, teacher!”

If you stay here any longer, you’ll get nagged again.

Seo Yu-baek called out to me as I was about to run away.

“If you’re having a hard time, come to me anytime, Miss Yeoju.”

“of course!”

That’s why I bought a fruit basket full of apple mangoes!

“See you later!”

Perhaps because they had become friends, Seo Yu-baek did not say that they should not see each other as often as last time.

As I was leaving the examination room, I heard a ‘ping-ping’ sound in my ear.

《 ♥ 18 》

Okay, everything is going according to plan.

Eating Seo Yu-baek and his friends, who were called gentlemen by novel readers.

This is the truth of life that I have realized while living.

The more fake friends you have, the better.

Weekend morning.

The Justice Guild, which had just finished its training, gathered together in the office for the first time in a long while.

“Was this place always this narrow?”

“They say a tadpole can’t think like a frog. It’s because they’re used to the wide training grounds.”

“You idiot, a frog can’t think of what it was like when it was a tadpole.”

“It’s noisy.”

“yes.”

There are more than one or two things I want to talk about now.

When I said a word, the twins fell silent.

But it seems like they’re kicking each other’s feet and fighting under the desk.

When are you going to raise them?

I pretended not to know that much and got to the main point.

“As the owner and manager of our guild, the reason I have called this meeting today is.”

I took two items out of subspace.

“My sword!”

Lee Yu-eul smiled brightly and held out both hands, causing chaos.

“Yeah, yeah.”

I returned the machete to Lee Yu-eul and also handed over Jeong-hwa’s emotional letter.

“I even got a scabbard!”

Just in case, Jeong Hwa quickly made a scabbard that fit the machete perfectly using the crocodile leather item he had brought along.

It seems like a pretty handy way to make something while using skills.

Jeonghwa finished making the candy I bought in less than 5 minutes.

: This scabbard is made of crocodile leather, making it lightweight and easy to carry.

“That jungle thing was actually itemized. It even imprinted on you.”

“Ah, an imprint?”

Only then did Lee Yu-eul hurriedly open the letter of emotion and read it.

“Really? It’s A-class? And now I’m the only one who can use it?”

“Someone else may wield it, but they won’t have the same effect as you.”

“Wow, awesome. What should I name this guy?”

It made me feel a little proud to see the reason why I liked it, like a child receiving a Christmas present.

I just confirmed that I picked it up and got the sword’s approval.

I moved on to the next one, thinking it would take a while for the squealing, machete-wigging girl to calm down.

“This is the crystal that came out last time I went mining the glacier gate.”

He placed a small wooden jewelry box on the table and opened up the appraisal book for everyone to see.

“Am I seeing things wrong right now?”

Jang Su-ho said, rubbing his eyes.

Lee Yu-chan was similar.

“Sister, I think this emotional report is wrong.”

“There’s no problem with the emotional report. It was written by someone who is very reliable.”

“Then is this really……?”

Han Ji-seong and Kang Han-do, who are not very talkative, read the emotional letter several times.

At this point I opened the jewelry box.

“Ouch! It’s dazzling!”

“It’s really pretty!”

“Oh, the brilliance! The brilliance!”

As expected, the three hellhounds had the best reaction.

Was this how Jeong Je-hwa felt when she saw me acting so excited?

“Voila. Thanks to the skilled craftsmanship of the craftsman, the B-grade crystal was reborn as an A-grade earring!”

“Wow!”

There was even a few rounds of applause.

“This is a good item. It restores stamina by 40%. It will be of great help to you, Lady Yeoju.”

Han Ji-seong said.

“This belongs to Han Ji-seong.”

“……yes?”

Everyone’s eyes widened as if they weren’t the only ones who thought the earrings were for me.

“No, no matter where you look at this, it doesn’t look like it was designed for Han Ji-seong.”

“It’s not the design that’s important, but the health replenishment effect is that of a healer…….”

“I made this request for you, Han Ji-seong, but you’re ignoring the design right now?”

“Oh, no, that’s not it.”

As always, teasing the cold-hearted guy is fun.

The white face with a hint of blush looks even better.

“I told you last time. Han Ji-seong needs to replenish his stamina. That way, he can withstand the rampage.”

“But still, Ms. Na Yeo-ju…….”

“But, this is Han Ji-seong’s.”

I said, pushing the jewelry box towards Han Ji-seong.

“Try it on.”

Still, Han Ji-seong couldn’t easily touch the earrings.

He just stared quietly with blue eyes filled with many emotions.

“Quickly.”

Only when I urged her again did she carefully take the earring out of the jewelry box and put it on her left ear.

“Wow.”

“It really suits you.”

“It looks good, bro.”

Han Ji-seong was so beautiful that even Kang-han praised her for her earrings.

Before, it had looked like a handsome plaster statue, but now it even felt a little sacred.

The effect of the earrings may not be that great now, but as time goes by, the 40% difference will become even greater.

“Now, please take good care of your certificate.”

“Thank you.”

Han Ji-seong spoke to me, unable to hide his emotions.

Pyoro-rong-

《 ♥ 14 》

“If you’re grateful, then let it go. To be honest, it’s a bit embarrassing to be treated politely by someone who’s going to be thirty next year.”

Now that the table is set, I’ll say something that’s been bothering me for a while.

It’s good to be polite to each other, but Han Ji-seong is still the oldest in the guild.

“that…….”

Han Ji-seong’s eyes shook wildly.

But he looked at me, moved his lips a few times, and spoke softly but clearly.

“Yes, thank you for the earrings, my lady.”

Pyoro-rong-

《 ♥ 16 》

The result was very satisfactory.

Okay, now let’s get to the real point.

“Now, let me tell you about our next move.”

Five pairs of eyes turned to me.

“Guerrilla Gate is a strategy, but in the end, we still have another source of income, right?”

“Then maybe… … .”

“That’s right. We’re going mining again!”
