Chapter 488 – The Choice Is Yours (2)

Cheon Ji-hee is lost in thought next to the fallen body of the White Crystal Spider Queen.

I walked up to her as she stood still, as if something about her was full of various thoughts, and asked her vaguely what her concerns were.

“What are you worrying about so much, Cheon Ji-hee?”

“…”

Jihee Cheon senses me approaching from the side and quietly raises her head and makes eye contact with me.

She remained silent for a while as if she was organizing her thoughts, but then she began to carefully bring out the words she had stored in her heart towards me.

“… “Was I just dissatisfied with my desires?”

“Yes?”

“Up until now, I’ve been holding back my emotions, wishing I could just be next to Hye-eun, and I thought I could be satisfied with just that.”

“… Yes, you mentioned it last time.”

“I thought I had sorted out my feelings in my own way, and I was afraid of my skills failing, so I asked you to take my first.”

“It’s something that can’t be helped. It’s natural for awakening abilities to weaken after one’s prime. “In fact, isn’t your senior the one who fell a little late?”

“… I thought I could be satisfied just by watching Hye-eun. Because I thought that the moment I expressed my feelings to her, Hye-eun would definitely feel uncomfortable and insulted. However…”

After a moment of silence, Cheon Ji-hee expresses her inner feelings again.

In her words that came out afterwards, her various concerns were mixed together in a confusing manner, representing Cheon Ji-hee’s feelings.

“… I don’t know. “Did I really love Hye-eun, or was she just unable to satisfy her sexual desires?”

“…”

“Was it a sexual desire for Hye-eun, or was it a sexual desire for a man, or was it because you were Hye-eun’s boyfriend that your sexual desire was fulfilled… I just don’t know…”

… Well, from Cheon Ji-hee’s perspective, this situation would definitely feel a little confusing.

It was as if he had achieved the love he had already given up on once in a slightly unusual form, while at the same time recovering his lost skills.

It was confusing as to whether some part of her sexual desire had been satisfied and her prowess had returned.

… The best answer I could give her was this.

“There’s no need to know right now, right?”

“… Uh?”

“Cheon Ji-hee, what if her feelings are a little ambiguous? “She doesn’t need to have a clear definition of emotion.”

“…”

“If you don’t know, just say it’s because Hye-eun and I both feel love. “It’s easier to think of it that way.”

“… Ha, but, if my skills decline again next time…”

“Just like last time, you can resolve it by hugging me and Hye-eun together. “I will do the persuasion for Hye-eun, so you don’t have to worry.”

“… Are you going to do that again?”

“Why are you asking something so obvious?”

As soon as she heard my words, Cheon Ji-hee blushed, remembering what happened last time.

He seemed to be carefully asking if he really liked the last night’s sleep and if he could have that experience again.

“If you want to be greedy, it’s okay to be a little more greedy.”

“…”

“No one can say anything if Cheon Ji-hee is a little more greedy than she is now. At least that’s how I am.”

“…”

“Whether you try again to move up to a higher level, or whether you want to remain in the same party as Hye-eun in the future, I will support you as much as I can. Of course, we also solve your sexual desires.”

Cheon Ji-hee listens to me and nods her head with a slightly red face.

Now that she has learned how to have affection for me in her own way, I should also support her as much as I can to achieve her goals.

In any case, she was a strong core vanguard of our Azure Shield.

“Ah, but you can’t take Hye-eun away. “Because Hye-eun is mine.”

“… I know that. “I’m not that shameless either.”

“Instead, how about Cheon Ji-hee becoming mine along with Hye-eun? Then, I think it will be much easier for the three of us to sleep in the same bed like last time.”

“… “Do I have to answer right now?”

“No. “Please answer slowly when it’s convenient for you.”

I wonder if Cheon Ji-hee really makes up her mind and wants to continue the strange love triangle between me and Hye-eun.

Or, you can remain in the Azure Shield, receiving only formal relief from your sexual desires from me.

Her decision about that was something she had to make herself.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

“It was really amazing earlier, Jihee!”

It was lunch time for the Azure Shield, which had smoothly completed its morning expedition.

This was what Han Min-ah, who was the last to return, fidgeting in front of the food table, said as soon as she saw Cheon Ji-hee face to face.

“How can you kick the queen spider’s legs like that! Do you know that it was really cool?!”

“… Okay.”

“It was really cool! That big leg just broke…”

As the mood maker of the party, Han Min-ah emphasizes and praises Ji-hee’s performance at the crystal spider nest just now.

At a glance, the plate she brought with her was filled with rice, steamed rice, and heaps of stir-fried pork.

… I eat a lot just because it’s free.

“How did you do that?!”

“… “What do you mean?”

“You know that flying kick you did in the air earlier! “It seems like he was powerful enough to hit the Spider Queen’s leg!”

“… I could do it originally. “At its peak.”

“So you’re back to your prime skills?! Congratulations, Jihee!”

Unlike other people who are relatively quiet, Han Min-ah is excited and asks Cheon Ji-hee various things.

On the other hand, Hye-eun and Cha Yu-ri did not make such a fuss as if they already knew Cheon Ji-hee in her prime.

She also said that Minah was the last to join when she was active as Azure Shield.

Like me, it must have been Minah’s first time seeing Cheon Jihee in her prime.

Of course, I kind of expected this to happen as I had mixed her body with hers not long ago.

“But what happened? “What happened that made you suddenly return to your prime, Jihee?”

“…”

“Oh, come to think of it, Yuri, something similar happened to you last time, right? It was clear then…”

“Yes, Taekyung helped me. “At that time, I still knew I was Seongcheol.”

“Then Jihee finally finds a man…”

If the story continued like this at the pace of Han Min-ah’s conversation, there was a possibility that the 3P play that took place last time would be revealed for no reason.

For no reason, I intervened by interrupting the wild cat at just the right moment before harsh words came out of its mouth.

“Hey, Hanmin. Eat something. “Don’t intrude into other people’s private lives for no reason.”

“What, what! Jihee said she finally found a man, so you might be curious!”

“If you wanted to brag, you would have said it yourself. “I guess you were expecting something to be revealed through your mouth.”

“I think Taekyung is right, Minaya. “I think it would be better not to ask about Jihee unless you reveal it yourself.”

“… “Ah, I’m tired.”

Thanks to my correct opinion and Hye-eun’s assist that came at a good time, Han Min-a kept quiet.

Well, Hye-eun would also be embarrassed to have the 3P incident from last time come to light, so it was an appropriate intervention.

Of course, I couldn’t keep it a secret forever, and I had a hunch that it would be revealed someday.

If that’s what you really need to say today… Because it didn’t seem like that.

It didn’t really matter to me that I would become a ‘public pillar for party members’ to all party members. It was already half of that image to begin with.

However, there were many sensitive aspects to Cheon Ji-hee’s sexual tastes. Considering the possibility of it coming out with a slip of the tongue, it would have been better to block this story from the beginning.

As for me, it doesn’t really matter whether Cheon Ji-hee is a lesbian or not, and her partner, Hye-eun, also likes her because of her voyeuristic nature, so it didn’t matter.

For Minana and Cha Yu-ri, the moment her personal walls were revealed, there was a possibility that a slightly awkward relationship would ensue.

No matter how much Cheon Ji-hee convinces him that he only likes Hye-eun and not all women, there is a possibility that she just doesn’t like the fact that there is a homosexual in the same party.

Therefore, before going too deep into the story, I interrupted Han Min-ah and immediately mentioned another topic to make up for her awkward mood.

Turning your attention to the most noticeable and easy-going direction in the current situation.

“Anyway, you ate a lot today, Hanmin.”

“…”

As I watched Han Min-ah eating the rice she had packed and a mountain of side dishes, I deliberately muttered something for her to hear.

As expected, Han Min-a was offended by my words and immediately refuted me.

“What, what! Today was our first group expedition in a long time, so we had a hard time running around! “You can eat this much!”

“Who said anything? “It’s just because it’s amazing how much I eat.”

“Well, no matter who sees it, you say it like you’re eating a lot like a pig!”

“I didn’t say that.”

“I did it!”

Although the words were half teasing, honestly, it was more of a surprise than a teasing one.

How can such a small body fit and digest so much rice?

I guess because I am an animal hunter and a cat model, I consume a lot of calories.

Otherwise, I don’t understand how you can eat like that and not lose a ounce of belly fat.

She looked at Minah’s abdomen, where her abdominal muscles were clearly exposed, and since she was thinking that, a few more excuses continued from her mouth.

“… And I still have to eat a lot today. “As soon as I get off work today, I have to get ready to move tomorrow.”

“Okay, eat hard.”

“… “Does it sound like you’re being sarcastic when you say it?”

“It’s not like that, so don’t worry unnecessarily.”

The reason today’s group outing ended in the morning in the first place was because of Mina’s moving-related issues.

… Like I said last time, it’s not like I’m planning to fly it and move it myself without calling the center.

Feeling strangely uneasy, I asked Mina about her plans to move.

“Are you going to move the luggage with Jin-ah and Seon-ah?”

“Huh. “I already packed most of my stuff anyway, so now I just have to tidy up.”

“What about the center? “Did you call me?”

“Because there aren’t that many households to begin with. “If I just borrow a truck from the company and carry things like dressers and things like that, and just carry boxes of clothes and dishes, everything will work out.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

… Really, Han Min, whenever I listen to what he says, I sometimes get confused as to whether I live in the 21st century or the 20th century.

It’s not a drama or a drama, but what on earth does it mean to move with a rear-wheel drive car?

Even if you can’t call a package move because it’s expensive, you can probably call a truck on the same day.

… I guess I’ll have to go to their house tomorrow morning and help them with the moving things.

Still, if you have the subspace pocket ability, you will be able to move it much more easily than having to drag it with a grunt.

“… “Hanmin, eat a lot.”

“… “Eat more meat.”

“… “If it seems difficult for the three of you to move it, would you like me to help you?”

“… “If you need to work harder, let me know.”

“Why, why is everyone looking at me with such pity?! I really didn’t have much luggage so I didn’t call the center! It’s not because money is tight… !”

That day’s expedition ended with him shaking off the pitying gazes of all party members who rushed towards him.

That pitiful, desperate situation will get better if we just move house.

… I hope it gets a little better.
