Chapter 1126: A Comrade Whose Trustworthiness is Uncertain (11)
[He Who Sits on the Golden Throne♥ laughs and says that the irrelevant god has finally given up.]
[The Gatekeeper of Heaven♥ is still worried about you. Getting rid of a malicious GENIUS was worth celebrating, but he’s worried about the God of Sunset's parting words because he might actually do it. He says the God of Sunset is out of his mind.]
[The Lowest Abyss of the Abyss♥ mumbles that the God of Sunset was the GENIUS who cherished you the most.]
[The Goddess of Flower and Fertility♥ is smiling. She’s been keeping quiet because she feels like she’s been talking ill about him, but she says the God of Sunset isn’t the most ideal GENIUS for you. Like the Gatekeeper of Heaven said, his obsession was so extreme that it’s causing him to be mentally confused.]
[The Slender Tentacle Queen♥ says that inexperienced GENIUSES go crazy sometimes. She believes that the God of Sunset will eventually break down because he can’t endure his boring life, especially if he's a GENIUS with low self-esteem.]
‘Why are they treating him like he’s crazy?’
[The Mistress of the Holy Night♥ agrees with the Slender Tentacle Queen.]
[The Crooked Guardian says that they’re on your side this time. They're laughing, saying it’s annoying to see him acting like he’s special to that mortal.]
[The Wolf Crying Under the Crescent Moon also agrees with everyone and nods.]
‘Why are they so negative about him? Why are both parties suddenly uniting because of Kim Hyun-Sung?’[He Who Sits on the Golden Throne♥ says you don’t need to worry about coins. He ridicules him, saying that he has probably used up all of his coins. He says you profited from this incident because you earned a lot of coins from him.]
[...is happy.]
[...is smiling happily, saying they’re glad they don’t have to see that annoying, irrelevant god again.]
As if Kim Hyun-Sung became the public enemy, I heard cries of joy everywhere.
‘I know he can be extreme, but how could they hate him this much?’
Of course, I understood their feelings. Even the chairman wouldn't be exempted from criticism if they were to act overly friendly like a die-hard fan.
Although I hadn't been able to converse directly with Kim Hyun-Sung, I could obviously see that he had been consistently receiving stacks of the debuff called "hate."
Obviously, they thought of him as a crazy bastard because they were unaware of the secret history between the God of Sunset and Flower Ki-Young.
He had taken over the chatroom by telling the mortal what to do, and he made things awkward because he was unaware of the other's reactions. He also often ruined the mood by throwing random donations. He constantly brought up pointless topics to have a casual chat with me, which was clearly crossing the line.
The Goddess of Flower and Fertility was my GENIUS, but I was everyone’s Flower Ki-Young, so I understood why the chat was noisy.
[The Gatekeeper of Heaven♥ says it’s already in the past and suggests talking about your memories rather than stories about him.]
[The Lowest Abyss of the Abyss♥ agrees with the Gatekeeper of Heaven. They’re wondering if you’re really suffering from memory loss. They mumble, saying they want to know what happened to you and why you have so many secrets. They want to know your secrets.]
[The Mistress of the Holy Night♥ is excited by the new news. She says she can’t stop watching because there’s always a new secret.]
The bait I used today not only made the God of Sunset leave the chatroom but also made many people happy about the news. They were happy that I was suffering from memory loss.
This topic was just as popular as the God of Sunset leaving the room, and I could use this topic all day. Normally, I’d give them a hint or keep them guessing to get their reaction, but I couldn’t do that right now.
[Soft Hands that Touch Leather♥ grabs their head, saying that they don’t know what to do now.]
‘Yeah, I don’t know what to do either, damn it.’
Of course, it was because of Kim Hyun-Sung.
‘Why did he even leave the chatroom…’
Dealing with Jung Ha-Yan in front of me was already hard enough.
‘And what’s this curse he mentioned?’
Could he really cast a curse? And what was he trying to say by expressing that he wanted to destroy Rohen? And why had he left the room?
‘Damn it.’
I couldn’t help but bite my lips because it was clearly my mistake. I was also aware that there was a limit to what Kim Hyun-Sung could do. He was an amateur when it came to what had been happening behind the scenes.
Even if he somehow managed to find a way to come here, executing it was a completely different story.
‘He’s not actually coming here, is he? He’s not coming, right?’
I was worried. The possibility was low, but I felt anxious.
Whenever Kim Hyun-Sung and Jung Ha-Yan did something unpredictable, the plans that were going well would always end up falling into the abyss.
This time wouldn't be any different, as he was always creative and unpredictable when it came to messing things up for me. Kim Hyun-Sung pretended to care for me, but he was always looking for an opportunity to take revenge for what happened in his past life.
“O-Oppa… Oppa?” Jung Ha-Yan said.
‘What do I do with her?’
“Regarding… your dreams… c-can I tell you about it now? I-I-In that case… it’s pretty late… s-s-so how about we… go inside and talk? F-For now…” Jung Ha-Yan suggested.
I had to go to the temple first, not the tent, Ha-Yan. I had to talk to Chanelia Hermes’ group first. Whatever happened in the future, there was only so much I could do, as I was just a mortal.
“Can I… call you Miss H-Ha-Yan?” I asked.
“Y-Yes, of course. P-Please just call me Ha-Yan. Y-You always…” she answered.
“I-I feel uncomfortable… calling you that right now,” I said.
“What?”
“Of course, I-I’m happy that I have a great bond with someone cute and beautiful… but regardless of that… I… need some time. I… still don’t remember anything… and if this continues, I’ll feel really bad…” I told her.
“...”
'Please relax. I don’t want you to make things harder for me as well.'
“I’m a bit flustered… and nervous… I’m really sorry. I know I shouldn’t be like this… Are you disappointed?” I asked.
It was natural for me to be wary of Jung Ha-Yan.
I could feel a strange affection from the unfamiliar woman before me, but I couldn’t remember anything, so everything was scary and new.
Jung Ha-Yan was definitely aware of my cautious nature, so I believed that she wouldn't get angry.
“I want to get to know you again,” I said.
“...”
'Let’s make her blush as well. Make her feel like we’ll inevitably fall in love again.'
“...”
'So please calm down.'
“Can I introduce myself again?” I asked.
'Please.'
“My name is Lee Ki-Young, Miss Ha-Yan,” I said.
'I’ll show her my brightest smile and extend my hand out shyly.'
'Please.'
“...”
“...”
“M-My name is J-J-Jung Ha-Yan. Hehe… hehehehe…” Jung Ha-Yan introduced herself while giggling.
I was sure she liked it, but I had no idea which part of it she liked. Although I had lost my memories, we could get to know each other again and fall in love with each other again.
Was this the type of cliche she liked? Perhaps she wants to build our relationship from scratch.
Jung Ha-Yan wasn’t dumb.
She was definitely aware that I had been treating her like a younger sister before I lost my memories, and I was sure that fact was bothering her. Jung Ha-Yan was looking at me with her most determined look, so I was certain that she had made the decision to show a new side of herself this time.
After all, even if I ended up regaining my memories, the way she behaved at the time would always remain in my mind.
Like a femme fatale, she was determined to seduce me instead of fidgeting around as usual. Realizing that she was heading in that direction, I could tell that she was trying to become the ideal woman. She was meticulous when it came to the details.
“Hehehe… hehehehehehe.” Jung Ha-Yan giggled.
‘Try not to giggle so loudly.’
“Do whatever—pfft, you want, oppa. I’ll always be in the same place,” she said.
She was even using "the wise mother and good wife" concept where the wife would always wait for her husband.
‘Just pick one…’
Her character was falling apart because she added too many elements to her character, but she probably concluded that showing her charms was the top priority.
“Then… shall we head inside, Miss Ha-Yan?” I asked.
“Y-Yes! W-We happened to have two tents, so you can use one of them,” she said.
We?
“I don’t want to trouble you…” I said.
“P-Please don’t think you’re troubling me,” she stuttered.
I looked around and saw two women standing near her.
Nam Goong-Seon and Lim Chae-Ryeong? Their nature was good, and their unique habits weren’t bad either. They had potential. Overall, I would give them a B, but they would probably have issues reaching Level 4.
‘So they took care of her.’
I had no idea exactly when they had met, but I was sure they were the ones who dressed Jung Ha-Yan like this.
“G-Give me something sexy,” Jung Ha-Yan requested.
“What? Miss Jung Ha-Yan—”
“Give me sexy clothes! Sexy clothes!” Jung Ha-Yan shouted.
Just as I expected, she ran toward the two who were watching cautiously from the sidelines and made a strange request. I had no idea why she requested a sexy outfit when we were going to stay in the tent, but she looked happy, so that was fine.
When I saw that she was busy thinking about which charming side of hers she was supposed to reveal next, I realized that it was highly unlikely for Rohen to fall at her hands.
‘Not only do I have to worry about Ha-Yan… but what do I do with No Dam-Hye?’
“I’ll… head in first,” I told her.
“W-Wait. Wait, oppa. I-I’m going to change… so let’s talk before you go to sleep…” Jung Ha-Yan suggested.
‘I can bring No Dam-Hye later. She’s not the issue right now.’
The problem was what Kim Hyun-Sung was going to do.
‘I wonder if he’s just going to come here.’
Was he going to come here despite the nerf?
‘No, that’s too big of a risk.’
I was sure he found this situation to be quite urgent. It was going to take quite a long time for him to create a body, and I believed that he wasn't going to come here due to the nerfs. He had no army nor support, so that would be the worst decision to make.
I also had no idea whether the system would let him enter or not.
The system probably thought that the Rohen Continent was already overloaded due to my presence here along with Jung Ha-Yan. There was no way the system would grant a visa to the God of Sunset when the continent was still unstable.
If Kim Hyun-Sung wanted to come here, his only choice was to come here as an illegal immigrant without a visa. Like…
‘When the Outer Gods descended upon our continent.’
Or…
‘A Demon Lord summoning...’
It was hard to imagine Kim Hyun-Sung being summoned as a grand monarch when he was really hostile toward demons and black mages, but what if he settled down here as the great monarch?
He’d probably receive the same title that the GENIUSES had been using for him.
“Monarch of Obsession and Madness.”
‘That doesn’t sound cool. Obsession and madness… sounds kind of bad… He needs to have a new nickname. Something like Rage and Revenge…’
His title was going to be…
“Demon King of Sunset.”
It sounded pretty cool, but…
I was sure his arrival would signal the destruction of the Rohen Continent.
