"Of course."
"Isn't it enough if he's just breathing?"
"Anyhow…"
Raisu shook his head as if he couldn't help it and looked at Evan who looked dissatisfied.
"Well, you won't be able to bring him back unscathed anyway. Do as you please."
"Yay!"
"But he has to be alive. Got it?"
"I'll try, but I got it."
"…"
Evan was a person you never knew what he would do if he went crazy. Even Baek Si-hoo didn't want to face him as an enemy. Baek Si-hoo stared coldly at Evan's innocently smiling face.‘…Han Yi-jin.'
Han Yi-jin's bright smile that he saw in the video was still imprinted on his retina. He couldn't take his eyes off his endlessly smiling face, which looked more comfortable than when he was at Loki Guild.
‘Useless thoughts…'
Baek Si-hoo, who frowned, turned his head away. What he had to do had been decided from the beginning. In fact, he had no right to despise Evan. Baek Si-hoo's black eyes sank coldly.
“What is it? I've collected all thirty pieces of lumber, why isn't the quest complete yet?"
“Yi Jin-ah, you also need to collect softwood and hardwood.”
"And we need to collect iron ore too."
"Argh, why is there so much to do?"
I grumbled and operated the controller in my hand. My character started running around the corner of the island. Seeing this suddenly reminded me of when I collected item materials in the dungeon. To think that I had to grind in both reality and the game. A sigh escaped me involuntarily.
"Do you want me to do it for you?”
"No, it's okay."
Perhaps because it was for kids, the game itself was simple and easy. It's just that the grinding part is bothersome.
Still, for some reason, I had a strange determination. A sense of obligation to pay off my debts and develop my island kept me pressing the controller. It truly lived up to its reputation as an addictive game.
As I moved the controller, Eden and Kang Soo-hyun took turns putting potato chips into my mouth. When I was chewing on crispy potato chips while playing the game—
Buzzing
"Hmm?"
My phone vibrated. Checking it, I got a message on KakaoTalk. The message sent by someone who was insincere and only wrote one line.
[Kang Yoo-hyun: Come to my room.]
"Huh, seriously."
This jerk ordered me like some kind of bastard to come to his room and I…
I have to go. Because the main character is scary.
I got up and grabbed the rest of the potato chips.
"I'm stepping out for a minute."
"Where are you going?"
"Um…"
For some reason, it hurt my pride to be honest and tell them that I was going to Kang Yoo-hyun's room. I probably don't have anything important to do that would affect the progress of the novel. Once I solve this simple matter, I should be able to return quickly.
"To the bathroom."
"There's a bathroom in this room too…"
"I need to take care of it in my room."
In an instant, I turned Kang Yoo-hyun's room into a bathroom and got up from my seat. I left Kang Soo-hyun's room and walked down the hallway.
Come to think of it, I've never entered Kang Yoo-hyun's room. Even in the novel, it was never described what his room looked like.
The main character's room. I was a little intrigued, so there was no hesitation in my steps as I made my way to Kang Yoo-hyun's room.
"Is it here?"
Kang Yoo-hyun's room was quite far, so it took a while to walk there. I raised my head in front of the big door. Unlike the other rooms, the big dark door gave off an inexplicable sense of intimidation.
Should I knock? I guess I should knock.
It was when I hesitantly raised my hand to knock on the door.
Click.
“Whoa!"
With a very small sound, the door opened, and a big hand reached out towards me. I screamed as I was pulled inside the room unceremoniously.
With a click, the door closed behind me. I looked up in surprise and saw a pair of sharp eyes staring at me.
"Kang Yoo-hyun?"
"…"
Kang Yoo-hyun looked at me without answering. It was strangely dark around me, so I couldn't see much, but I knew it was Kang Yoo-hyun. I was so used to this pressure I felt on my skin.
"Why did you call me?"
Actually, I didn't meet Kang Yoo-hyun at the lodging very often until now. I'm sure Kang Yoo-hyun, as busy as Guild Master Park Yoon-sung, thought the lodging was just a place to sleep.
However, today, I was surprised to see him at the lodging. He even called me to his room. Wanting to know what happened, I looked up at Kang Yoo-hyun, who was much taller than me.
Suddenly, reality hits me. Han Yi-jin's body was not short either, but the SS-class protagonist's head was much higher than me. The novel didn't mention it in detail, but he was almost like 2 metres tall, wasn't he? Anyway, that wasn't the point. I opened my eyes wide hearing what Kang Yoo-hyun said after he was silent for a moment.
"Use your skill on me."
"What?"
"Use your auxiliary skill on me."
By auxiliary skill, does he mean my Catnip skill? I looked at him in surprise, then frowned.
"Now? Here?"
"Now. Here."
"…"
What is this all of a sudden…
But when I saw Kang Yoo-hyun's serious gaze, I realised he wasn't joking.
"I mean, why?"
I couldn't fathom why he wanted me to use my auxiliary skill in this peaceful accommodation. Then, I remembered how many times Kang Yoo-hyun had tried to tell me something since in the dungeon. He looked at me as if he had something to say but ultimately remained silent. Could this be related to that?
"Are you suffering from… the side effects?"
"…"
So far, Kang Yoo-hyun was the only hunter who experienced side effects after receiving the Catnip skill. There might be more hunters affected by side effects if the skill was used in the future, but for now, only Kang Yoo-hyun was affected. This concerned me, but it seemed to bother Kang Yoo-hyun even more. I didn't know why the side effects were happening.
"Hurry up, use it."
"But… I don't think that will make you immune…”
“…”
However, the look in Kang Yoo-hyun's eyes was too scary to continue refusing. The room was dark and I could barely see his outline, but I felt like a beam would shoot out of his eyes. I sighed and reached out.
"Alright. Give me your hand."
"…"
"Argh, what again?"
Kang Yoo-hyun frowned, I wondered what else was bothering him.
If he wants to do this, I have to do it quickly. And I had to play Jim Forest. Moreover, Yong-sik was sleeping because he was sleepy after eating, and I had to go back before he woke up and made a fuss.
As I quietly pondered various thoughts, Kang Yoo-hyun stretched out his hand, looking a little uncomfortable. I carefully reached out and shook his hand, which was much bigger than mine.
Good for him. He is tall and has big hands. I could feel the tendons on the back of his hand sprouting from his tightly gripped thumb, and for some reason, I felt a little weird.
"Hmmm, here I go."
"…"
"…"
The atmosphere is weird. I'm just using my skill. It's dark in the room, and somehow I’m the only one talking…
Aish, really. I frowned and raised my ability. I could feel my hands getting hot.
"Hey, it's done."
"…"
“It's done now.”
"…"
"Hey!"
I shook my hand violently when he refused to let go. Then slowly he let go of my hand.
"I'm going now."
"Where are you going?"
"Ah, I was in the middle of a game!"
As I turned around in frustration, Kang Yoo-hyun reached out and grabbed my shoulder.
"Don't go yet."
"Ugh, wait… Hey!”
I was dragged along by Kang Yoo-hyun. This main character jerk is so ignorantly strong!
No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't move. As I was being dragged by him to the middle of the room, I stepped onto something.
"Oh?"
Click, and the TV screen, which occupied an entire wall, turned on.
But what's with the size of this TV screen in this room? Why is it so big? Without realising it, I stood there dumbfounded, staring at the screen, and something about the screen seemed odd.
"Is this…”
Oh my God. Isn't this Loki from Disney Plus? But Disney Plus hasn't been released in Korea yet? I looked at Kang Yoo-hyun with a surprised face.
"What? Why do you have Disney Plus in your room?"
“…I'm using a foreign account."
"What!"
What a method!
I—I envy you, you bastard. You've been watching Disney Plus by yourself all this time? Only Netflix was playing in my room.
"Then, can I watch this?"
"…As you please."
Excited by Kang Yoo-hyun's permission, I slumped to the spot. And I took out the potato chips that I had brought with me.
"Can I eat these potato chips?"
"…As you please."
"…"
It seemed like he was just repeating the same words from earlier.
I looked at Kang Yoo-hyun suspiciously and then turned my gaze to the screen. I was immediately immersed in the drama that I had wanted to watch for a long time. I love that the world in this novel is the same as the real world, except for the gates and hunters.
"Haha."
I burst out laughing every time Loki's antics in the drama.
I wonder if the real God Loki existed, would he be handsome and entertaining?
The fact that I possessed Han Yi Jin from the Loki Guild made me strangely more interested. While I was engrossed in the drama, I heard a strange sound next to me.
"Sigh…”
“…?”
Kang Yoo-hyun, who was sitting next to me, sighed. The light from the screen illuminated his distorted face. I put down the potato chips I had in my hand after seeing his contorted expression.
I used the Catnip skill on him earlier. It couldn't be that he was already suffering from side effects, or perhaps the increased stats made him feel different than usual?
"Are you okay?"
"Don't worry about it."
"…"
No, how could I not pay attention when he kept sighing beside me?
Glancing at him, I reached out towards Kang Yoo-hyun.
