Chapter 82 – Galaxy (2)

Mental problems are really embarrassing to talk to someone about. It was the same on Earth. This was true not only in the Middle Ages, when psychological problems were attributed to the devil, but also in modern times when psychophysiology developed.

In a different world where mental illness has literally become a shallow joke, there are not many people who can be consulted for mental illness.

Naturally, he thought he had no one to consult with on matters related to him.

“Dojin-nim, they say you’ve been getting shadows on your face lately… What are you worried about?”
“…… Fion.”
“Anything please consult me! I have a first-class guild-certified psychological counselor license.”
“—What now?”

There was. Such a person

“Uh, huh? Do, Do-jin?”

Fion, who grabbed his hand his, muttered that his face his was red and that it wasn’t like that just yet. Do-jin asked back, not paying attention to what she said.

“Psychological counseling?”
“Ah……Don’t you know? It’s a program prepared for adventurers….”
“Please explain in detail.”
“Ah, yes.”

Pion explains that in the old days, there were many adventurers who went wild on the streets because they couldn’t forget the fight to the death with monsters even after retiring.

From the adventurer’s guild’s point of view, it was something that had to be prevented from ruining the adventurer’s prestige by playing games with retired adventurers.

So, the guild explained why the adventurers were rampaging and studied a way to stop them.

‘This is exactly the same as psychology…… ?’

Dojin had a misunderstanding. Even in modern times, except for magic, there is no way that fantasy residents who are barbaric know about the identity of the mind, which was only discovered in the 20th century.

The magic was the problem.

There is magic in this world. Magic is the work of adjusting the world with one’s own will and mind.

Of course, when it comes to the mind, there are better considerations than the modern Earth, which only fires electricity and checks the reaction.

There were also numerous ways to fix a broken spirit.

“So, what’s the problem? Talking to yourself would be the fastest way, but…….”
“…… My colleague is about to die.”
“Oh, that is a big deal. Why? Injury? Sluggish?”
“I don’t know why.”

Insufficient information and clues, that’s why Pion didn’t rush to give an answer. She smiled and opened her mouth.

“Do-jin.”
“Why?”
“Would you like to go on a date with me?”

Yes, it was a very calculating smile.

* * *

“Ow! Can you come out during business hours? … Dojin-nim is the best!”

“…… Where do you see this as a date?”

“Oh, are you disappointed that it wasn’t a real date?”

Fufu, Pion smiled lightly and headed for the shopping street. Now she was on a nominal business trip. The justification is psychotherapy for promising adventurers.

Losing a high-level adventurer was a huge loss for the guild, so her business trip was quickly repaired. How long is her business trip her? Until the end of treatment.

So, it meant that if she kissed Do-jin, she could enjoy unlimited paid vacations with virtually double her monthly salary.

“Did you say Eunha? What does he like?”
“What does Eunha like? …… I don’t know.”
“I’m a colleague, don’t you know that? Well, since you’re a woman, you probably like sweets.”

Pion said that and ordered all the desserts from the expensive dessert shop. Do-jin, who checked her price on her, got a bit fed up and asked P-ion, and she waved her hand as if it was okay.

“Ah, it’s okay! This is all covered!”

“…… I don’t think he will.”

“What are you talking about! If I don’t do this, I will have to live on flour only from tomorrow. Will do everything certainly.”

She was very optimistic. And it was lively. Hey, if I could go outside during work hours, even if I was like Do-jin, I would change into a lively person.

And above all…… It was better to have a person who was overly energetic than a person who was equally depressed to treat Eunha.

“Ugh…… Heavy….”
“I will help you.”
“Ah, no… ! This is part of the job… So, how can I get help— kyaaak!?”

With her other hand her, she grabs all the cakes and sweets that were about to fall.

Seeing the box of cakes she was balancing on one hand, Peon started clapping at her as if she had seen some great circus act.

“Wow… Incredible. After all, an advanced adventurer.”

“I guess that has nothing to do with it.”

“No! This proves that she can become an advanced adventurer only when she has good motor skills.”

Seeing that she couldn’t lift all the weight her on her own her, Peon lifted half of her cake box without force. Even that, she was quite uneasy, but not to the point where she lost her balance and fell.

After walking for a long time with the cake, the two finally arrived at the mansion. Pion, who was wearing a guild uniform that covered her entire body her, was panting and sweating in the midsummer heat.

“…… It’s ok?”

“Gwa, it’s okay! Because it’s work!”

“If so…….”

It was a very worried complexion, but Dojin opened the door and went inside. Upon entering the mansion, which is maintained at a comfortable temperature thanks to magic, Pion panted and cooled his sweat as if he had finally taken a breather.

“The house is nice! A house like this, how many decades will I have to earn to live on my salary…….”

Pion, who entered the mansion, was the first to leave such an evaluation. In the meantime, he secretly looked at Do-jin, and those eyes were filled with worldly desire.

Do-jin realized why she had put so much effort into choosing this mansion for her. Hey, even on Earth, men with lots of money were popular.

“Let’s go.”

“Ah yes….”

Ignoring her gaze her, she heads for the galaxy room. After asking for your understanding in advance, Aram moved them to another room. Knock Knock, Do-jin, who arrived in front of the room, knocked on her and opened the door without her permission.

“Sleep…!”

Pion, who was behind, panicked and tried to stop him, but it was after the door had already been opened. Eun-ha, who was blankly counting the stains on the ceiling inside, looked back at Do-jin with a blank expression.

And immediately, her face lit up.

“Dojin? What happened…….”

“Ah, Eunha. Can we talk for a moment?”

“Yes.”

Eun-ha stopped counting her stains her, and she immediately got up and followed Do-jin out. Pion asked Eunha to move to the restaurant so she couldn’t hear her, and Dojin took Eunha to the restaurant and talked about various things.

This was also something Pion had requested in advance.

“What were you doing?”
“…… Just nothing.”
“Okay?”

When we arrived at the restaurant, the maids had put the cakes Pion had bought on display, ready to eat. Chocolate melted in the teacup, and the sweet smell that came from it was thick enough to fill the restaurant.

“Come on, sit down.”

As her galaxy sat in her seat her, Peon settled across from her. The two of them met face to face based on her dining table and exchanged glances with her for a moment, and Pion figured out what kind of person she was with the information thus far.

“Hello? Long time no see! Mr. Eunha.”
“…… Do you know me?”
“Yep! My name is Pion, an adventurer’s guild employee! I remember seeing you a few times… I don’t remember……?”
“…… Do you remember?”
“Haha, thank you.”

Eunha glanced at Dojin to see if she was uneasy about something, but Dojin was silently listening to the conversation between the two.

“It’s no big deal. Just… I bought dessert like this because I wanted to thank the adventurers in charge.”
“…… Yes.”
“Oh, do you hate sweets?”
“No, I like it.”
“Ummm, isn’t it? I don’t think there is a woman who doesn’t like sweets. Me too. … Then, Eunha-nim, are you experiencing any discomfort?”
“Inconvenience……?”

Again, Eunha looks at Dojin. But she didn’t make him uncomfortable. Aha, Pion has now almost perfectly grasped the opponent.

And how to treat…… It was easier than I thought, but at the same time it was a difficult opponent.

“Oh, if you don’t have it, you don’t have to tell me.”

After that, Pion only talked with Eunha about business matters. To the point where Do-jin wonders how he can understand and treat the other person’s psychology with these stories.

After a while, after finishing the story, Pion sent the galaxy back. Left alone at the restaurant, Do-jin listened to Pion’s story.

“…… Me, Do-jin?”

“Yes.”

“Well, don’t be surprised to hear… Eunha doesn’t need treatment.”

“…… Yeah? What is that…”

“To be precise, should I say I can’t… Ah, how can I explain this….”

Peon pondered for a long time, and finally explained at a glance whether his thoughts were organized.

“Eunha-nim is now Do-jin-nim’s dog.”

“…… Dog?”

“Yes. If you want to bark, bark, and if you bite, bite.”

“No, what…….”

“I must have guessed to some extent. If it’s that serious… He would have accepted really ridiculous requests and tasks without much resistance.”

At that, Do-jin recalled things he could have guessed to some extent. The things I did because I just had no self-esteem back then.

“…… So what do we do?”
“You don’t have to do anything.”
“…… Yes?”

Peon explained the state of the galaxy with a bitter smile.

“Maybe I haven’t received much love since I was young, I have a lack of affection, dependence, and even a bit of masochism. If you feel useless, you might die.”

So don’t do anything, no. Rather, to ‘use’ her on the contrary.

“Anything is fine. You can have them cook, or they can hunt…… Well, that’s kind of a word, but you can make it work the night.”
“So…… Eunha will never come back to her senses for the rest of her life, is this?”
“Now that state is not abnormal. I am only very slightly dependent on others.”

Pion looked at Dojin. It was fortunate that this young man in front of me was not at least someone who would take pleasure in directing indiscriminate massacres to his comrades or treating women’s bodies like toys.

Both from the guild’s point of view and from the galaxy’s point of view.

“Just keep in mind, when she’s no use, she dies. I will die myself.”

* * *

Peon is gone. Holding a piece of paper with Dojin’s signature on it.
She said it was a notarized document that she had no problem with.
As she signed the document, Dojin thought a lot.

‘It’s normal….’

Certainly, being able to read her thoughts her may have only overreacted. Everyone thinks they want to die.

When Do-jin was also young, she prayed for suicide every day, and A-ram, who fell into depression after falling into this world, was similar.

In modern times, people want to die just because a funny video was filmed, they want to die because their grades are not good, because the food is not good, because the weather is bad, because they feel dirty.

I want to die for a very simple reason.
Eunha is just a doll that breaks easily.
You shouldn’t conclude that it’s abnormal.

‘Annoying.’

Annoyance wells up inside. Annoyance toward whom, annoyance toward oneself who was judged by a colleague to be abnormal? Or an annoyance with the galaxy that was about to die for just that reason?

“Haha, no.”

Dojin raised her body. She then headed to the galaxy room. Eun-ha, who was counting the stains on her ceiling in a daze again, tilted her head as she saw Do-jin who she had visited.

“Dojin…… Ah?”

She looks at her face Why did she feel annoyed? She was simple Because she instinctively realized. Why she was going to die.

“Sorry.”

“Go, suddenly? What’s the matter… What’s going on?”

Will have to take responsibility for it

‘I told you to use it….’

What is the reason why Eunha fell into self-loathing while holding a statue of herself to die for? She is because of herself. She told her she was her own great person her, and her inability her to think of herself that way would have led her to her endless self-loathing her.

How to solve this? It was very simple. She just had to ask for what she could give. She just needs to ask for what only she can give.

“From now on, I will hug you.”

“—?”

You can see the confused Eunha’s expression of her. However, the actions of Do-jin, who had already made up his mind his, were relentless.

“Take it off.”

Nope, peel it off
