Chapter 455: Results and Evaluation (2)

I wasn’t sure if magic power affected her appearance, but she was definitely prettier than when I first met her.

Compared to her former days, when she was a little numb, she had become more interested in her appearance, and her skin recently became whiter, and her lips became even pinker to the extent that it was worth appearing in animations.

I thought she was attractive enough, putting it all together, but I felt like I was still looking at a cute little sister to the end.

It wasn’t enough to have such a reaction.

Of course, as I was a man, it was undeniable that my heart sometimes beat for Jung Hayan, who was always throwing herself at me.

‘Come on…’

I didn’t know how to explain it, but this was definitely different from usual.

The faint smell of sweat and skin kept stimulating my olfactory system as if she ran excitedly that morning.

I shook my head to clear it, feeling as if I had drunk a stimulant. It was hard to say that the situation was pleasurable since my body kept flinching despite nothing being wrong with it.

Not only did my heart keep beating violently, but my breathing had strangely become rough.

It was only natural to feel familiar with Jung Hayan’s body holding me tight, but this time in particular felt more familiar than usual.

I couldn’t help but pull my body back due to the physical reaction that came up.

Jung Hayan didn’t let me do that, however, since this was the first time we saw each other in such a long time.

I was curious about her intentions behind sticking to my body like a leech while also trying to get as close to my lower body as possible. Seeing her grinning from ear to ear, it seemed that she realized that I was conscious of her.

Her eccentric behavior itself was also a problem. Her chest tightly came in close contact, and her lower body pushed forward against me as much as it could.

Jung Hayan’s temptation, which was so awkward that I wouldn’t even be able to laugh if I was in my normal mindset, felt stimulating enough to evoke the illusion that she might’ve become a succubus. It even felt like she had cast some magic on me.

‘She probably didn’t chant a fascination magic after going crazy, right?’

The likelihood was low.

If it had been fascination magic, it would have been impossible for me to think. Considering that Jung Hayan had a little mastery over alchemy, I suspected that she had sprinkled on some kind of aphrodisiac. However, there was no way I wouldn’t be able to recognize that kind of item.

I began to suspect my emotions as the side effect of fairy magic. As I felt that something wasn’t right, I had no choice but to push Jung Hayan away. She had a slightly disappointed face for a moment.

Gently putting my lips on her forehead and patting her back, she started smiling widely again.

‘I like her because she’s simple.’

“How have you been?”

“Good! I’ve been doing well. We’ve made a lot of adjustments here and there. I kept moving with S-Sora. The last few days have been really too busy… I didn’t have time to do anything else. There was more work to be done with magic than I thought. Even all of the construction was done with magic, too…”

“Han Sora?”

“Yes. Sora.”

‘It must have been painful for her.’

She was a Blue newbie who was still traumatized by Jung Hayan.

It felt highly embarrassing to call her a newbie at that moment since she had already grown, but I personally thought she would be drawing a hopeful future for that line of work.

Since a branch of the Blue Guild had been created in the Crack Land, she must have great hope of wanting to move out there.

‘Of course, she would’ve worked harder than anyone else…’

It hurt me that I couldn’t listen to her wishes.

‘I have to raise her salary.’

She might not be interested in such things, but I wanted her to realize that I cared for her.

Of course, she would like to avoid the favors I gave as much as possible, but I couldn’t help but spare her, considering that Han Sora was the only black wizard resource on the continent.

Not only did she do a great job in the war against the Republic, but I thought that perhaps there could be some room to use her for the continental peace plan I was thinking about.

However, it was also undeniable that I was a little nervous.

In a situation where Kim Hyunsung was in the middle of a misunderstanding, her existence was no different from a bomb. No, actually, that was the same for Jung Hayan, who was currently sticking right next to me.

Although she was a trustworthy ally, I certainly had to acknowledge that she knew too much.

If Jung Hayan opened her mouth unknowingly, Light Kiyoung’s happy life would end.

Of course, she wasn’t going to do anything that would damage me, but I had no choice but to treat her as special as I didn’t know where she would bounce to due to her nature.

It was not unreasonable for me to feel that I should be kinder.

I originally treated her with a smile, but I started opening my mouth with a smile like I was dying from her cuteness. I could feel that just looking at my smiling face put her in a better mood.

“It must have been hard for you. You couldn’t even rest…”

“I-it was a little hard. Still, it’s something I have to do.”

‘Whew. I’m so proud of her. I’m so happy to hear Hayan said it that even tears are coming out…’

“Still… weren’t you lonely?”

“A-A little? In fact, I was very lonely.”

“Then… shall we go after having breakfast together? Let’s take a look around here too. I haven’t gotten around a lot, but still…”

“Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course, I like that!”

I had to go back a little, but I thought it would be okay to enjoy a date rather than running straight to work right away.

Come to think of it, wasn’t Jung Hayan being very patient?

She recently almost exploded once with marriage problems, but she hadn’t caused any problems other than that.

She didn’t put me in an awkward position by crying or making a fuss about being separated for a few days.

It seemed that the education I applied to her so far was finally paying off, but above all else, the fact that she was being patient was amazing. I wanted to applaud her for being able to endure that much even though she wasn’t getting a special reward.

Therefore, it was not hard for me to take some time off with her.

After packing up, I immediately went outside with Jung Hayan. I flinched again because of her posture, with arms folded and pushing her chest as close as possible, but there was no problem.

With the gazes focused on us since we were classified as celebrities, Jung Hayan straightened her body as she walked through the streets as if to show off.

It looked like she was marking her territory.

I listened to her chattering without rest during the unexpected date.

“I made that, that, and that one, too.”

“Really?”

“T-That one too. I also made the bridge over there. Sora helped, but I did it almost alone!”

She boasted of her feats the same way fathers muttered that they had made the Han River Bridge.

“S-So… At that time, people just came, and I was a little surprised, but it was okay. Some people talked to me, but I didn’t answer them. I didn’t even make eye contact with other men.”

“You don’t have to do that…”

She even argued about how much of a modern-day virtuous woman she was. It basically wasn’t an important conversation, but it did help restore my tired mind.

It would be most appropriate to say that it felt like walking with a dog.

‘The weather is good too.’

Overall, we had a peaceful atmosphere.

I wasn’t the only one enjoying the peace.

There were also smiles on other people’s faces, and there were people who were spending time together in their own ways.

There were people who had come to the terrace to eat, chat around the fountain, and shop at general stores and weapon stores were also quite noticeable.

It was enough for me to approve of the atmosphere, but I felt uncomfortable because of yesterday’s thoughts. This was even more so because I thought that the people I saw at that time were the people who were supposed to risk their lives.

It was hard to say that there were particularly impressive people even if I looked around with my Mind’s Eyes. The State, the Republic, and the interracial union were in a slightly better condition.

It looked as if the gentiles who were taking a neutral position or the United Kingdom who didn’t even participate in the last war came out on a picnic.

They looked like that even though it had been announced that there was a threat. Still, the peaceful atmosphere itself was not all that bad.

“It’s too peaceful…” I accidentally said it out loud.

“What?”

“Ah… It’s nothing. I was just talking to myself.”

“D-Do you have any concerns?”

“It’s not enough to be labeled as a concern… I’ll tell you later when my thoughts are organized. Let’s go back to the guild house. Did you also make the branch?”

“…”

“Hayan?”

“Yes? Ah… yes. I only made the framework. A-All the interior was done by manager Kim Mi-young. The furniture was also custom-made by Lindel and brought… Ah! The first floor of the guildhall is used as a shopping street. To the potion shop and Ahyoung’s blacksmith, it’s a guildhall used by party members from the second floor and is bigger than the one in Lindel. The training center is big, the alchemy workshop is big, and the room is big.”

“It’s understandable. Lindel’s building has been there for a long time. If you simply put it in width, this side is also wider… I guess a lot of other clans will also come in.”

“Some of the influential clans are already considering buying land. The Black Swan and the Red Mercenary members are already in.”

“They’re smart.”

After having a few useless conversations, the familiar emblems started to stand out as I continued walking the street.

At that moment, I realized that I had arrived at the branch of the Blue Guild that Jung Hayan was talking about. It was definitely gigantic - it was much bigger and more sophisticated than the Blue Guild house.

Arms made by Yoo Ahyoung were on display in the shopping street on the first floor, and the adventurers around me had already gathered in the potion shop next to it.

It looked like people would have to go through another entrance to enter the guild house.

As I slowly turned my head toward the entrance, I saw someone with a familiar face.

“Vice Guild Master.”

“Ah, Hyejin.”

“If you’d told us you were coming, I would have gone to meet you… Did you just arrive today?”

“Yes. I looked around for a while. By the way…”

The one waiting for me in front of the large building was Kim Hyunsung’s deputy and my only friend.

She seemed anxious as she wandered around in front of the large building with a ponytail, which was unusual.

“Is anything going on?”

“No. Not exactly.”

“But why are you outside…?”

“I’m waiting for the Guild Master.”

“Hyunsung?”

“Yes.”

“You didn’t go out together?”

“That… I haven’t heard of it in detail, but he said he’s looking for someone… He said he would be going alone.”

‘I was right.’

Of course, I knew where he would have gone.

I didn’t even have to try to know. The answer was obvious.

For some reason, Cho Hyejin’s face, so full of anxiety, was entertaining to me. I couldn’t stop myself from coughing when she continued.

“Um, Vice Guild Master. I’m sorry for being so sudden, but…”

“Yes?”

“By any chance… did you know?”

“What?”

“The Guild Master seems to be in a r-relationship.”
