Chapter 61 – Trauma (1)

In the late afternoon, when the sun was disappearing over the horizon, Nam-woong, who had completed training and exchanges, said that he would return.

“The rain will stop, and we will be on our way.”
“Good work.”
“Thank you for your effort.”

Namwoong looked at Hoyeon with a vague gaze. As if he had no regrets, Hoyeon cut off her gaze like a knife.

“Ah really… Captain, can I stay?”
“If you want to be dealt with desertion, stay.”
“Damn… I can’t… I need to get a seed….”

Ho-yang blamed herself for not having received Do-jin’s seed, and she begged to stay here. However, she was a soldier, a body subordinated to the country.

She looked at Do-jin and seduced him with her sorrowful eyes and voice. Dojin pretended not to know and looked elsewhere and avoided his gaze of her.

“Next! I will come again next time!”
“Ha, horny bitch. Tails to humans.”
“What do you say, about the subject who fainted after being hit by that human?”

Sa-Young showed her teeth and clashed with Ho-Yang, and Nam-Woong took the two of them and walked slowly.

Do-jin looked at those three people, and after they disappeared, she looked back at Ho-yeon.

“Then let’s go too.”
“Yes, this time… Thank you. Prepare to repay me next time.”
“I will be grateful.”

The sun goes down. Soon, night comes. Late at night, the magic lights turn on one by one to create another day.

So was her seal her. Late at night, the number of students who came to steal her skills began to increase one by one.

Leaving behind the eyes of countless disciples, Do-jin moved her steps toward her mansion.

“Did you learn a lot?”

On the way to the mansion, Dojin looked at Eunha and asked. She remembered what she had learned yesterday and today. Things I’m not very used to using right away on my body.

So she shook her head.

“You have to learn more.”

So I had to grow more. So that he can grow up and be of help to Dojin someday.

It should have been.

“Okay.”

Dojin also heard that and quietly nodded her head. Upon arriving at the mansion, the two dispersed to their respective rooms. Do-jin rotted her head because of her accumulated sexual desire.

‘No, why is this?’

Does the bodily fluid of a tiger’s have a beast an aphrodisiac effect? Do-jin went to bed with a groan at the useless energy of the tiger.

And the next day.

Dojin looked at her in her dreamy underwear with a bewildered expression.

Charleureuk!

Seoyoon’s ice filled the dungeon. Countless ice crystals spread out behind her like wings.

“… What you looking at?”

Maybe she felt that I was staring at her so intently, she pushed me away with a gruff voice. I slowly shook my head and walked around to pick up the magic stone.

20th floor, Lizardman’s nest.

This class, inhabited by reptile monsters sensitive to changes in body temperature, was Seoyoon’s main hunting ground.

Perhaps because it was a monster that was very sensitive to changes in body temperature, it was particularly vulnerable to Seoyoon’s ice. Thanks to this, in this class, Seoyoon ran wild like a fish out of water.

Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Dozens of ice feathers flew over the blackout screen. It was a blackout that even blocked arrows, but it was not enough to block Seoyoon’s ability of her.

It was the alarm on my watch that stopped her slaughter her.

“…… Is it lunchtime?”
“Yes.”
“It’s fast.”

She withdrew her powers and created a large barrier of ice around her. Monsters in this layer are high-strength ice walls that can never be penetrated.

On top of that, a nice chair and dining table are complete. Ice thrones and round tables are created that are perfectly controlled and do not shed a single chill.

A noble queen descends from the dungeon. She enjoyed luxury that other adventurers couldn’t even dream of, as if it were very natural.

“What’s for lunch today?”
“Minotaur meat.”
“…… I didn’t like that, so I told you to buy another one.”
“There is only this left.”

I took out a packed lunch from my backpack. She looked at her contents her and frowned at her as if she did n’t like her, but after she consumed that much, even she could n’t stand it unless she replenished it.

Picking up the meat with ice chopsticks, she frowned and began chewing on the minotaur meat.

Because it was the meat of a domesticated Minotaur and a monster, it has excellent survival and fertility, but the meat itself is tough because of its excessive muscles.

Watching Seoyoon frowning and chewing her meat, I also took out a lunchbox. After seeing the contents of my lunch box, Seoyoon stopped chewing her meat and glared at me.

“Why?”

“…… What is that?”

“This? Fried Beetle Boar.”

“Give it to me.”

“Why me… Ouch!”

The chair she was sitting on melted as she struggled to keep her lunch from being taken away from her. While I was falling, she quickly switched my lunchbox with her own lunchbox.

“No, if you want to eat like that, you have to line up.”

“Then you eat on the floor.”

“…… I will enjoy this food.”

I stared for a moment at the swampy floor of blood, dust and mucky mud, then thanked me and sat down in a chair.

It was better to just starve than to sit on the floor and eat a meal, where even if you stay still, your irritation level explodes. And no matter how hard I was on the 20th floor, I couldn’t fight while starving…….

Minotaur meat was extremely tough. As much as the salted beef jerky that our ancestors in the Joseon Dynasty ate while traveling…….

As I was chewing on the meat with a rotten expression, Seoyoon, who took the lunch box, looked at me as if she was sorry.

“…… I’m full.”

Then, after saying that, he put down the boxed lunch he was eating. As she stealthily glanced at it, she only ate one of the meat she had brought.

If that’s the case, don’t take it in the first place, that’s what I thought. Seoyoon lifted the tempura with chopsticks, whether or not she knew what I was thinking.

“Hey, eat.”

“…… Suddenly?”

“Because I’m full. What do you want to leave behind?”

“Then you can just throw it away.”

“…… Do you want to eat?”

“Are you going to throw it away?”

After pausing with her tempura for a moment, she slowly put down her chopsticks and asked.

“Are you saying you can’t eat what I give you?”

“It’s not like that.”

“…… You mean, aren’t you too much for me these days?”

“What?”

Seoyoon’s expression hardened. Originally, it was close to expressionless, but now I couldn’t find any emotion at all.

She had such a cool expression that I could understand her nickname she had, the cold-blooded princess and all.

“Aren’t you my lover? So, shouldn’t you be faithful to me?”
“No, suddenly something…….”
“To be honest, are you going to be a bitch outside?”
“I can’t…… That’s right.”

The words that I naturally spit out are unconsciously caught in my jaw. She immediately recalls what happened with Ho-yang. She’s not what happened, and she’s not what she’s been doing.

But if she that’s a bitch, isn’t that a bitch? Since she messed with my things…….

“…… Why do you hesitate?”

And Seoyoon did not miss that reaction.
Slowly, the table that stood between us disappears.
As Seoyoon crosses her legs, the distance between the two of us becomes too close.

“No way, is it real?”
“…… No, no.”
“Leave me and have an affair outside? Who is it? Guild staff? Or the guard?”
“Because it’s not…….”
“…… Could there be more?”

Seoyoon made a puzzled expression and looked into my eyes. I also looked at her without avoiding her eyes, but the suspicion that had already begun to sprout did not subside.

Seoyoon’s eyes pierce my eyes. It travels through her optic nerve and pierces her heart. Her heart starts beating wildly.

“—You.”

With a voice colder than anything else in the world, a declaration lower than absolute zero fell.

“From now on, don’t even think about leaving me.”

* * *

Even when she left the dungeon and returned to the mansion, Seoyoon did not leave my side of her. She was too persistent to think that she was simply saying something in a fit of rage.

“… Hey, how far will you follow me?”
“How are you? I’ve already seen all the places I shouldn’t have seen.”

She even followed me to the bathroom. She did n’t even watch her errands her, but even in this she could n’t escape her sight her.

I sighed heavily. I wonder if she had such an obsessive personality.

‘I don’t think so.’

If she had such a strong obsessive personality, she would n’t have handed over her Aram to me in the first place, and she would n’t have thought of doing 3P with her.

If so, there must have been a reason why she changed like this. The reason why I suddenly became obsessive…….

‘What?’

I couldn’t figure it out. As I watched her enter the bath together, I tried to think of her reason her. Then I suddenly remembered that I was doing something stupid.

‘No, why am I thinking about that?’

You just have to read it

“Seoyun.”

“Why?”

“Why are you so obsessed all of a sudden?”

“… What?”

Bring luck and read her mind She is cool-headed with no change in her expression her, but she cannot escape the power of her abilities her.

“It’s crazy?”
─Are you crazy?

“… No, it wasn’t like this before.”

“Previous? When? When you were at school?”
─Even though I had never spoken to her at the time.

“It’s not like that – when I first met you.”

“…….”
—…….

Pop. Her thoughts her stopped. She couldn’t read anything beyond that. Is it because what I can read is the surface consciousness that has popped up in her head right now, or is it because she listens to me in a daze and does n’t think about anything.

Without thinking so much, she who had been absentmindedly opened her mouth.

“… Why. Can’t I?”
─Lately, it seems Dojin has been neglecting me.

“Uh, huh?”

“I’m obsessed and can’t I?”
─They don’t talk well, and treat you like a doll that only quenches your sexual desire….

“No, you’re naturally like that…”

“It has changed. Is there something wrong?”
─Did you hate me? Or are you tired? If that’s the case, don’t even hug me at all, why misunderstand….

I plunged my head into the bath water and fell into silence. When she changed so much, I couldn’t even tell now.

‘I wasn’t close enough to talk about my original personality, but….’

When she just landed in another world, she wasn’t like this.
As a side effect of her ability, when she was released from heat, she was not like this.
She has changed Since when? I do not know. Can a person change this much just by being close to me? I do not know.

Her changes were full of unknowns. Fear comes from ignorance. I was terrified of her change her now.

Was human personality supposed to change so quickly?

“…… Sorry.”

“What?”

“Just, everything.”

If anything is certain, she was mad at me. And it was only the fact that it stemmed from my actions of her.

Then there was only one thing to do. To let go of her anger. And unfortunately, it was very difficult for me, who had no experience in dating, to resolve a woman’s feelings for her.

All I could do was comfort her. And sexually….

“If I had been good, you wouldn’t have changed that much.”

“… Right. It’s all your fault.”
─Thanks to you.

Her frozen heart her melted somewhat.
Her love her inside her was so hot, I was surprised by her madness after seeing her cold her.
I shouldn’t have done that, but I ended up hurting her.

I went to her side of her, cutting through her bathtub like her fish. Then she sat down beside her and leaned her head on her shoulder like she was her lover her.

Dive, take her hand her. Did you say that a person with a cold heart has hot hands? Her hands were very hot.

“Yuna.”
“…… Don’t think I’ll forgive you for this once.”
“Don’t think like that. Just…….”

No more words were needed. Just approach slowly, slowly….

Sigh.

The bathroom door opens. Our heads turn at the same time. There was a singer who came in with a towel covering her body.

“Uh, uh… No, I just… Because there are women’s clothes….”

In a rare moment of embarrassment, she looked at the two of us, apologized profusely, and quickly exited the bathroom.

We burst into laughter when we saw that, and we left the bathroom and went up to our room.

That day her heart her completely melted.

* * *

[Frozen Heart]
Evidence of a frozen heart.
It’s cold enough to freeze your emotions.
But you can’t hide your scars.

Seoyoon’s ability.
She knew very well what her abilities her meant.

‘My trauma…….’

A temperament created by her life her, neglected by her parents her, in order not to be hurt.

A wound that has been quenched for a very long time until the temperament thus created becomes a character.

I never thought I would ever get better. Her heart was forever frozen, she thought, and it would never melt again.

However, Do-jin melted her heart.
He accomplished what seemed impossible.
And the impossible is bound to grow human beings.

‘…… This.’

After waking up from her slumber, Seoyoon felt that something had changed in her and instinctively confirmed her abilities.

[Queen of Cold Things]
Only the frozen can reign over them.
Only those who are not cold can rule them.
You are.

That’s how she grew up.
