Chapter 134 A Step Forward (4)

Yeonju Go, and I sat on the stair and shared a smoke. She looked disheartened at me, having discovered her so easily, and seemed unwilling to speak first. I flicked some ash and spoke first.

“Why were you hiding?”

“All that mana, and you expect me to stay in my room?”

She seemed to have felt my search, and I answered her back.

“You could have just come out and look around. You didn’t have to hide.”

Yeonju Go clucked her tongue, and I smiled faintly. I would just need to go up now…

“You’re…quite dense.”

However, she did not let me go. I did not know what she meant by that, as I had managed to get by in Whole Plane for ten years by not being dense. However, she looked surprised.

“Why, you think you’re not?”

“I’m pretty sure I know more than most users.”

Yeonju Go looked askance for a moment but now started to talk in a serious voice.

“Listen. I am telling you you’re dense not in battle or work but dense between sensing what goes on between a man and a woman.”

“I can say that Ahyun is dense.”

Yeonju Go looked astonished as she shook her head. I was amused, as this was the first time I had seen her so surprised.

“No! He’s much more aware of things. You’re going to get in trouble one of these days.”

“Nah, I’m all right. You don’t need to worry that much.”

Yeonju Go just sighed deeply and finished off her cigarette. However, she did not stand up like she had something more to say to me. I wanted to say I did notice things like this but remained silent. She spoke up when I finished my cigarette.

“You did go to her at the end.”

She would be talking about Yujung, and I had gone to her despite Yeonju Go’s opposition.

“Yes, as you saw.”

“I did not see or hear, but just told you not to go.”

I thought things over for a moment before deciding that saying my opinion was better than letting things drag.

“Yes, but I thought going is the right choice, as we do not have much time.”

Yeonju Go fell silent on my words, as it meant many things. I looked over at her and had to agree that she was fatally beautiful at night. Her black eyes looked up at me at noticing my gaze, and her hair glistened as she did so. Her eyes became warm, and she smiled slowly.

“Why, did you fall in love with me?”

“No comment.”

“…Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”

“Well…”

I smiled awkwardly as the reason I had stared at her was that she reminded me of Soyung Han. I wondered what she was doing now. Her name made me sigh, and Yeonju Go slid to me and leaned her head against my shoulder.

“Well, even though I don’t know what’s going on, I know you understood my intention. Let’s see the results, but remember, she’s the one who has to solve the problem.”

“Thank you.”

That meant Yeonju Go was still willing to teach Yujung. I was relieved.

“You’re asking me for free after all that I’ve done for you?”

I felt her breath on my neck as she spoke on.

“Isn’t it common decency that you give me something in advance?”

I could feel the shape of her body against mine, and she was inching closer. I felt tense as she seemed to have no intention of stepping back.

“Please teach Yujung, as she is a promising user.”

“If she comes to me by herself. Also, don’t change the subject. You always do if you feel you’re at a disadvantage. Why’re you standing up? I’m not finished yet.”

I could see her face come closer to me a moment later. I leaned back, but she moved quickly, like she had already anticipated my reaction. I did not feel her move, and she was too near to activate my Third Eye. I had no time to regret my mistake and turned my head around, trusting my instincts.

She was not at my left, and that meant…I felt something warm against my mouth at turning right. Yeonju Go’s lips were at a perfect angle on me turning my head.

“……”

I had wanted to kiss her maybe once during my first time, and now that thought had come true. I saw her smiling face against mine, and she looked like she had won as she slowly pulled back.

“So, I finally get a kiss.”

“How did you manage that…?”

Yeonju Go shook a finger at my question, and her voice was bright as she spoke.

“I had already had you near me, and it was a 25% which way you would turn. I was right.”

“…Just that for a kiss?”

“Why, didn’t you like it?”

While her voice was still light, I could see that there was something else. I remembered what she had talked about her life back on Earth.

“…No.”

I still felt her warm lips against mine as I stood up. She was still pouting as I looked down at her.

“Did you like it then?”

“Yes, it was an honor to kiss the famous Shadow Queen.”

“…Well, you’ve become honest.”

I reached down as I pulled her up to me.

“You know, I can’t calculate when I do things like this.”

I felt her lips again on mine, and while her eyes widened for a moment, she responded to me. I did not kiss her long, but her lips were so soft that I still felt it on me even after I stood up again after smoothing down her clothes.

“…Well?”

Yeonju Go did not answer but looked calmly at me.

“Ansol or Yujung Lee would have flushed, but I’ve gone through too much for that.”

“I see.”

“However, you are not as dense as I thought.”

I went back up the stairs but thought I would either rest or train instead of organizing that equipment list. I heard her voice behind me.

“Why did you kiss me?”

I turned around to answer.

“Well, maybe I was curious what it would feel like if I kissed you.”

Her face looked strange, and I did not add that it was in my first life that I had felt that way.
