Chapter 297 – Senior at Work Who Doesn’t Hate Me (3)

“I’m sorry, senior. I’m talking about it to make you misunderstand…”

“Stop.”

“As soon as I explain my awakening ability, if I ask you for a favor, it’s only natural that you think that way. It wasn’t a strange misunderstanding, so you don’t have to be ashamed.”

“I told you to stop.”

“And objectively, it’s not that Chun Ji-hee isn’t attractive! Since you are tall and feminine, you must have received a lot of attention from men! It’s not that I don’t particularly like Chun Ji-hee, it’s just that I didn’t suddenly want to mix my body…”

Tup.

Senior Cheon Ji-hee, who suddenly grabbed my mouth, looked straight into my eyes.

“When are you going to shut that snout? You told me to stop.”

“…”

I just explained it in the sense that I didn’t care about the misunderstanding, but rather, that part seemed to stimulate her embarrassing memory from a moment ago.

Judging that trying to comfort her more would only backfire on her, I nodded her head while holding her lips to her to mean that I understood.

After Cheon Ji-hee released the grip on my face, she quietly explained with a blushing face.

“It was just a misunderstanding.”

“Yes, of course.”

“Don’t think it strange. I have sex with you… Because I’ve never imagined mixing bodies.”

“Of course, sir.”

“… There’s no way you’d be greedy to hug me when you’ve mixed bodies with Hye-eun in the first place. Because she is the most beautiful child in the world.”

“… Yes?”

“Out of it?”

“Oh, no. You are right.”

‘It’s beautiful, but that’s it… It was a strangely disturbing atmosphere to say ‘.’, So I agreed with her by nodding my head.

… You really are a person who cares for Hyeeun a lot. I didn’t expect her to think that far.

Come to think of it, she said that she worked with Hyeeun for a long time even before Cha Yu-ri or Han Min-ah came in in Azure Shield.

Looking back on it now, the party name was Skylight (Chun Ji-hee) and Shield (Kang Hye-eun), named after the two characters.

Now that I think about it, it was a name that clearly revealed its color to the extent that you could recognize that it was a party made by senior Cheon Ji-hee and Hye-eun.

“By the way, senior. There must have been someone else you liked.”

“… What are you going to talk about this time?”

“No, I just thought it was unexpected. It was an image that someone like Cheon Ji-hee would confess without hesitation to the person he likes and confidently snatch love while thinking about it.

“… Noisy.”

“If you are struggling with dating problems, can I help you?”

Flinch.

As soon as he heard my words of help, Cheon Ji-hee’s body flinched and trembled.

Well, no matter what, it’s common in all countries that in the end, when you fall in love, you become a fool.

In particular, unrequited love was a love that turned into a deadly poison the longer it was left alone.

The feelings I have for the other person are bound to grow bigger and bigger, but the difference is bound to widen because the other person’s feelings hardly change.

Or, the other side also liked it, but there are quite a few cases that lead to the worst result of one side giving up and folding their feelings when they are in a hurry to hide each other.

In that respect, it was better to solve problems such as unrequited love counseling right away. Even for the healthy continuation of Azure Shield.

There was no need for me to take on the role of quenching the lust of all our party members. If you already have someone you like, it’s much better to support that love.

In the first place, I also thought that I would not touch a female hunter with a lover or husband. Interfering with other people’s love was not my taste.

On the contrary, if it is the side that helps love, it will actively intervene.

“Aren’t you going to be frustrated, too? How long have you been in love?”

“2 years… No, you don’t know.”

“Two years is a really long time… Does the other person know about Chun Ji-hee? Isn’t she supposed to be stalking?”

“I already met you today. Don’t worry, at least you’re closer than you think.”

“Have you already met today? Then it is certain that the other person has a heart.”

It was around 11 a.M. When I went to work and met Ji-hee, so meeting before that meant we were close enough to meet early in the morning.

If it’s that close, it’s really close to the point where there’s only one step left…

In the sense of sincerely supporting Cheon Ji-hee’s unrequited love, he gave encouragement again.

“In my opinion, the other person already has feelings for Chun Ji-hee. Without that, there is no way I can meet my senior in the morning.”

“…”

“Just close your eyes and confess. Maybe the other person will accept it as if they were waiting for it. In the first place, since Cheon Ji-hee is tall and womanly, there is probably no man who would reject her senior’s confession. Isn’t it?”

“… Stop, just stop here.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t climb up like a sudden acquaintance. Don’t even bother with my personal problems. … It’s not as simple a problem as you think in the first place.”

“…”

Looking at Cheon Ji-hee with a lonely expression on her face, it seemed that there was a complicated situation between what I knew and what I didn’t know.

… I don’t even know it well, so it seems like I’m talking about it for nothing. Come to think of it, it certainly wasn’t an area for me to meddle with.

“I’m sorry, senior. I must have interfered.”

“… I wish I knew by now.”

The conversation of the day, which started with my confession of awakening ability and ended with Cheon Ji-hee’s confession of unrequited love, ended like that.

… It was not too far off to find out who the object of her unrequited love was.

“Spear, far-right control!”

“I checked!”

At the same time as she answered Hye-eun’s order, she threw an ice spear enchanted with cold spells at a group of sand crystal spiders approaching from afar.

The blade of the spear I threw accurately pierced the body of one of the mother-of-pearl spiderlings.

At the same time, the cold air that began to spread around the blade of the spear froze the baby spider’s corpse and the surrounding spiders one after another.

”Keew!!”

A few frozen comrades and the resulting ice wall temporarily delayed their advance.

At that timing, Hyeeun’s shield spread over a wider terrain, and her defensive range also expanded.

“Fight, left adult spider!”

“Check!”

This time, senior Cheon Ji-hee rushed at the group of adult spiders approaching from her left, and without hesitation, she shot her solid kick from top to bottom.

Quick! With a sound, her posture collapsed and she fell down, but like her adult spider, she didn’t seem to die in one hit.

For a while, she seemed preoccupied with defending against adult spiders flocking from the other side.

“Ughhhhh!!”

As soon as the somewhat weak baby spiders were sorted out, Kang Hye-eun, who minimized her shield this time, charged another group of adult spiders.

As soon as it started, Kang Hye-eun, who cut the body of an adult spider with her shield bash, also continued the battle on one side.

With this, most of the main monsters except for the spider queen have been subdued, so from now on, only the final blow to defeat the white crystal spider queen remains.

As the main order disappeared, I turned my gaze to the back to check the progress of the rest of the members and asked.

“Cha Yu-ri, how much magic is left!”

“Done! Now all you have to do is toss it!”

Fortunately, the good news came from Cha Yu-ri that the casting of magic was over, so now, with just one powerful blow, the battle with the white crystal spiders was over.

This time, she immediately called Han Min-ah, who was dealing with the White Crystal Spider Queen.

“Hanmin-ah, come back!”

“Okay!”

Mina, who had been distracting the large monster little by little with her breathtaking movements and moves, responded with her answer and quickly stepped towards me.

No matter how much her animal senses were alive, it would have been almost impossible to attract the attention of the White Crystal Spider Queen.

Han Min-ah, who flew after receiving the ‘swift protection’, was so nimble that she could somehow shake off even her S-class monsters.

A cat that moves brilliantly by stepping on walls and corpses of monsters while avoiding the webs of the White Crystal Spider Queen.

‘Charuk!’

“What?!”

The moment she took her last step to return to me and flew away, a taut spider web entwined around her ankle.

As soon as I saw it, my body jumped off the floor along with the greatsword. I couldn’t just watch Han Min-ah being dragged away by the monster.

After slicing through her spider webs in one fell swoop trying to snatch Han Min-ah’s ankles from her mid-air, he hugged her as she lost her position and landed on her floor.

“Are you okay?”

“Uh, uh…”

As soon as I put down Han Min-ah, who nodded her head with her slightly flushed face, Cha Yu-ri’s magic chant came back from our side again.

“… A whirlwind of fresh wind will blow! Oxygen Tornado!”

Along with the wind that blows through the cave, Cha Yu-ri’s magic flies at the White Crystal Spider Queen.

To respond to her magic, I immediately took out a spear from my subspace pocket and applied fire magic to it.

… Sorry, beautiful Again, ask for repairs instead.

I silently apologized to the blacksmith lady who was not here, and threw the spear in her hand at the white crystal spider queen.

My spear, which sparked flames from the deepest place, exploded and enveloped the Queen of the White Crystal Spider Queen in flames.

‘Keeeee!!!’

A monster that cries out in pain while engulfed in flames with a horrifying scream.

Hye-eun widened the range of her shield to cut off the boundary between the queen and other monsters before the larger flames spread more than necessary, riding on spider webs and corpses of other monsters.

I immediately cast a frost enchantment on her shield to help it withstand her heat.

The corpse of the White Crystal Spider finally stopped moving after about 3 minutes of burning.

There was no one in this place who did not know that it meant that the battle was over.

“Ji, did you really catch it? We caught an S-class monster by ourselves?!”

Starting with Han Min-ah, who seemed most excited, each of them spoke a word about today’s hunting.

“… I didn’t expect it to turn out this well either. If we proceed in this way in the future, we might be able to completely conquer the Crystal Spider Cave within this year…”

“Seongcheol… Because Taekyung is there, of course. Even if he is cheeky at times, his skills are clear.”

“If you’re going to compliment me, just give me a compliment. What does it mean to be cocky sometimes?”

“… Yeah, good job Your role was great.”

“… Yes?”

“… To praise Do you hate my compliments?”

“Oh, no. Just because I was surprised…”

Seeing that even senior Cheon Ji-hee gave me this kind of encouragement, it seemed that her achievements today were quite surprising to her as well.

Maybe the seniors have now shaken off the bad feelings they had with me to some extent. The most solid evidence of her feelings began to emerge from the side of her face.

「Estimated acquisition points: 10」

It’s a meager number, but compared to the past when nothing came to mind, it was undoubtedly a meaningful change.

He stopped hating me… Can you think about it?
