Chapter 112 – Meetings? (One)

As soon as the ranking match was over, Chloe and I headed to the player-only entrance.
The place, which should have always been crowded with numerous reporters and scouts, was quite different from before.

There, Laysha’s father, Kayden Leopold, and Ayoung’s father and sisters. There were Seo Kang-jin, Seo Ga-young, and Seo Na-young.

‘Who is that?’

However, a person with a face he had never seen before was standing next to Gayoung.
After looking at him for a while, he found that he had a ring on his ring finger with the same design as the ring Gayoung was wearing.

‘So you’re married.’

Was Gayoung a married woman in the game?
She was in a state where she couldn’t imagine her marriage to find her own sister who had suddenly disappeared one day.

“Leopold-sama… Isn’t that Ayoung’s father?”

“Yeah, I guess so. Now, when the eyes of reporters and scouts are focused there, let’s take the kids quickly.”

At the same time, reporters and scouts are struggling to get interviews with them or hand over their business cards.
Unless they steal Ayoung and Laysha by targeting this time, they will be caught for several hours.

“… All right.”

Me and Chloe tried to make our way to the players’ exit, stealthily so as not to be seen by them.

“Get out of the way. It’s up to here to deal with it. Now I have to go see my daughter.”

However, at Ayoung’s father, Kangjin’s words, the reporters and scouts who had gathered around him like ants noticed each other and began to scatter.

However, I was looking at this place from afar, as if I still had lingering feelings.

And when Kang-jin glared at them once, they turned their backs and started to go back.

“Whoa… I was going to tell you if you didn’t. Thank you.”

“You don’t have to be so grateful. I was just about to get tired of dealing with you.”

It was a famous story that people all over the world knew that the two were rivals, but they exchanged friendly conversations.

Behind them, Ga-yeong and the man who was expected to be her husband had a conversation, and Na-yeong, who had become alone, looked around and met my gaze.

And as if surprised, he opened his eyes wide.

– Chloe.

-Yes?

-What do we do?

-Yes…?

Kayden already noticed that I was very close to Laysha.

And she said Ah-young said she didn’t tell her father, but she let Ga-young and Na-young know that she was in a relationship with me, she said.

And both Kaiden and Kangjin care very much for their daughters.

Should I run away No, just push forward confidently?

No. In the first place, wouldn’t it be that they already knew about their daughter’s party, but were disappointed that I didn’t come to meet them, and their image was rather degraded?

That’s why I said to them proudly, ‘Give me your daughter. Of course, both of you.’ What would happen if I said something like this?
Of course, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.

It is a world where polygamy is possible, but isn’t there a class?

‘Ah, but the three sisters really look alike. Still, Ahyoung is the prettiest. Cancer cancer. By the way.’

A lot of thoughts ran through my head in a short amount of time.

And the conclusion I came to was just pretending to be a party member.

– Chloe.

-Yes…?

– I came up with a solution.

-What do you mean…?

-I’m just a male student belonging to the same party, okay?

Chloe looked at me with incomprehensible eyes.

I walked proudly to the exit.

Three months have not passed since he was transferred to this world.
In my heart, I want to ask them to give me Ayoung and Laysha, but I can’t catch their eyes yet.

A few months ago. Ah-young once asked her if she would mind if I told her father that she was dating, and I said no.
She asked me to wait until I could be more confident.

There’s no reason it has to be now.
It would have been fine if Kaiden and Kangjin were apart, but it was really bad even if the situation was bad now that they were together.

‘I’ll have to find out how polygamy lives.’

Already in this world, there are people who have multiple wives or husbands.
My body shuddered when I thought about how to hold the meeting.

“Hello.”

They were waiting for them right in front of the exit.
I couldn’t just pass by because of the location, so I said hello to them.

“Hmm…? You must be the one who came to see her daughter then.”

“Okay.”

“… Yes. Thanks for noticing. My name is Kim Si-woo, who is in charge of the blessing magician at the party.”

The eyes looking at me were already cold.
And for some reason, Kang-jin’s reaction was calm, but I bowed as politely as possible and greeted him.

‘Doesn’t he know me?’

It was never a question out of arrogance.

If it was Kang-jin, even if she hadn’t heard from Ah-young, she would have found out about the party Ah-young was in.

“Are you here to see your daughter?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm… I see.”

He looked at my face carefully as if he was examining my expression, and I didn’t change the color of my face.

“Hello, Ah-yeong is a boyfriend… Right? I’ve heard it often.”

“Hello. Senior Seo Ga-young.”

I answered while holding the hand of Ah-yeong’s older sister, Seo Ga-young.

“Yes, please take good care of my little sister.”

“Of course.”

An awkward silence passed between us at the end of our conversation with Gayoung.
Except for the brief exchange of greetings between Kayden and Chloe.

After a while, two figures began to appear from the exit.

It was Ayoung and Laysha.
They walked side by side as if the fierce battle just now was a lie.

And when they found me, they put on a bright expression, and when they saw their family, their eyes widened and their mouth slightly opened.

It was so cute that they looked the same, but I pressed myself hard so that my emotions wouldn’t show.

“Did your father come…?”

Raysha asked Kayden as if she didn’t even know her father was coming to the game.

“… Okay.”

I saw
I just saw Kaiden pouting his lips very slightly as if he was sad.

“Dad, sorry. I came all the way here…”

On the other hand, Ah-yeong said to Kang-jin with a gloomy expression.

“Okay. You are more diligent than last vacation.”

“… Thank you”

On the other hand, Kang-jin smiled kindly and said that she was proud of Ah-yeong.
At his words, Ah-yeong also revealed her expression again.

“Uh… Siwoo, why did you come here?”

“I just came to congratulate you. Congratulations on your 1st and 2nd place. Then I’ll be gone. See you next time Chloe.”

“… I get it.”

Fortunately, Chloe used short words on me.

The intended purpose of congratulating them has been achieved.
It was the moment when I was about to turn my back and go back to the dormitory, promising to meet at a meeting next time.

“Stand.”

A voice pierced my heart from behind.

“What are you doing…?”

I wanted to use my acting skills, but if they were at their level, I would be caught right away.

“It’s fate that we met like this, but if you’re not busy, why don’t we have dinner together?”

“Hmm? Seogangjin. What does that mean?”

Maybe they promised to have dinner together later.
Kaiden asked Kang-jin as if he couldn’t understand.

“Isn’t it good? She is our daughter’s party member. It would be nice to find out who he is.”

“It’s okay. I have no intention of interfering with family time.”

I was certain that if I was taken away now, I would not see anything good.

Ayoung and Laysha were looking at me with uneasy eyes.

Na-young, A-young’s little sister, even gulped down her saliva.

“No, it’s okay. My daughters were going to be sent separately from the beginning. Or do you have something hidden from me so that you cannot have a meal with me?”

Kang Jin looked at me and said.

“It is not.”

I glanced at Ayoung and replied.
And she was opening her mouth like she was trying to say something to me.

‘What about spiritism?’

I wanted to ask her, but I immediately changed her mind.
Why didn’t I use my acting skills?
If Ah-yeong also uses spiritism, Kang-jin will find out that she is moving mana.

“Then just follow me. Don’t worry if it’s because you have a picky appetite. I’ll take you to the store I frequent.”

“… All right.”

If Kang-jin refuses to say this, she will only be remembered badly.

“Daughter, have dinner with your sisters. I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you.”

“Ah… Ah, no Dad. Are you okay…”

At Kang-jin’s words, Ah-yeong looked at me and said.
Is it signaling something?
I’m not sure.

“Laysha. Is there anything you want to eat? Anything, tell this father.”

“…It doesn’t matter.”

… FYI, today was Laysha’s date day.

[Nuri]

The Korean restaurant that Kangjin and I arrived at was an elegant hanok building.
At first glance, it seemed like a very expensive store, and the store guide guided us to our seats accustomed to seeing Gangjin.

It must have been a lie to say that it is a store I visit often.

“Sit down.”

Kang-jin, who naturally sat down as if it were his exclusive seat, spoke to me.

“All right.”

I tried to kneel down opposite him,

“Just relax. You don’t have to be that uncomfortable.”

Just sat normally.

‘What kind of cushion…’

Does it feel like it’s softer than the bed matrix in my room?

I sat down and looked at him.
He said he would find out about me, but he just stared at me without saying anything.

After waiting for a while, the table was filled with food that seemed to claim that it was high-end.

But neither of us touched the food with the tips of our chopsticks.

Again, an uncomfortable silence lingered between Gangjin and me.
And he slowly opened his mouth.

“If you have feelings for my youngest daughter, just give up. I’ve already found a suitable fiancé for my daughter.”

He looked me in the eyes without changing the color of his face.

‘What the fuck?’
