Chapter 624 – A Woman Born in Heaven (1)

“It’s been a while, Lulucia.”

“Taekyung~! “It’s been a while~!”

Lulucia, a saint whom we met almost two months after the incident in the abandoned village.

Even though it had been a long time since I had seen her, I still felt like my heart was instantly refreshed by her unhesitating personality.

Lulucia approached me, leaning slightly towards me, and said hello as if she was happy to see me after a long time.

“This is the first time since we last saw each other in the abandoned village, right? “How have you been?”

“Yes. As I said on CocoaTalk, I was doing well.”

“You definitely said you would show me around Seoul soon, but I didn’t know you would make me wait for two months~?”

“There is no shame. “At that time, I didn’t know I would become this busy.”

“Aha, it’s a joke~! “I also knew how busy Taekyung was~!”

Well, when I saw her expression, I thought she didn’t mean it. She’ll be grumpy, asking who in the world would have made her wait with such a bright expression on her face.

On the contrary, if Lulucia is truly angry with someone, she naturally begins to imagine that she may have done something wrong there.

Befitting her title as a saint, she seemed to be emitting natural endorphins, and even though it had been a long time since I had seen her, she still looked like a saint in her own right.

Including her saintly attire that anyone can recognize.

“By the way, Lulu Xia’s civilian clothes don’t seem to be much different from the clothes we saw in her dungeon.”

“It’s not civilian clothes~! Although she debated whether to wear civilian clothes or priestly clothes~!”

“Yes? “Then why did you come out today dressed as a priest?”

“That’s because when I wear civilian clothes, my incredible beauty captivates everyone around me~!”

“…”

“That’s why I usually go out wearing a priest’s uniform and a veil! “Because this thin veil can hide a little bit of my beauty~!”

“…”

“Ah, haha…”

Even though she said it with her own mouth, Lulucia tried to cover it up with her secretly cute smile, as if she was somehow embarrassed.

It was such a shameless remark that if anyone else heard it, they would have thought she was some kind of princess, but for some reason, Lulucia saying something like that and being embarrassed was actually cute.

She deliberately matched her rhythm and matched Lulucia’s jokes a little more.

“Yes. “If it were Lulucia, she would be in big trouble because of her beauty if she didn’t go around covering herself with a veil like this.”

“Huh?!”

“From my perspective as a man, Lulucia is quite a beauty. Thanks to you, I think today’s date will be quite fun.”

“Oh, no… No, I was joking… Haha…”

“But it didn’t matter because it felt true to me.”

“Well, I see… Chi, thank you for the compliment, Tae, Tae-kyung~! Tae, Tae-kyung is also very, very cool today…”

As if she hadn’t expected such a reaction, Lulu Xia secretly averted her gaze from me with her newly red face.

Even though this was only my second time meeting her, I somehow felt like I already knew a lot about her.

Maybe I feel closer to her because we have been through life and death together since we first met.

Anyway, if it wasn’t for the bond I met with her that day, I wouldn’t have been able to lead to the future where I defeated the Three-Headed Basilisk.

“Well, by the way, where are you taking me today, Taekyung? “I’m excited because it’s my first time touring Seoul properly!”

“Well. Originally, I was planning to go to Bukchon Hanok Village with Lulucia first, but…”

“Hanok~! Are you talking about something like an old Korean house? “It somehow seems like fun~!”

“Actually, before going there, she was planning to change clothes at a hanbok rental store with Lulu Sia. … “It seems a little difficult now.”

“Uh, why?! I also wanted to wear Hanbok! “Is it possible that the rental store is closed today?”

“No, the store is operating properly.”

“Well, then why did it become difficult~?!”

“Well, if you change into hanbok, you will also have to change into Lulucia’s priestly clothes, and her incredible beauty will immediately capture the attention of others.”

“Huh?!”

“If we do that, we won’t be able to tour properly due to the crowds coming to see Lulucia, so I guess I should skip changing into hanbok. “If you can’t hide your beauty with this thin veil, you will be noticed everywhere.”

In fact, if you don’t change your clothes, your stand-out priest’s uniform will catch other people’s attention.

Lulucia’s face turned red once again when she realized that I was making fun of her.

Unable to hide her feelings of shame and embarrassment after receiving the return for the shameless joke she had made, she rushed towards me and let out her cute protest.

“Si, don’t be grumpy~! Taekyung~!”

“Sigh, I’m sorry. “The rental store is located out of Exit 3, so let’s start our date there today.”

“D-date…” . Okay. Taekyung is a man, not a woman, so today is really going to be a date…”

Lulucia’s face blushes again as she realizes that today’s activity is a date.

Well, it was the moment when I had a gut feeling that at least I wouldn’t be bored today.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

We changed into couple hanbok at a hanbok rental store near Gyeongbokgung Station and immediately walked together along the walking course of Hanok Village.

On the way up the course, they didn’t forget to hold hands as if they were lovers.

Not only was holding hands on a first date not an easy thing to do even for a normal couple, but to be honest, Lulucia and I weren’t even in a romantic relationship.

Neither I nor she were the type of person to particularly care about such things, so I casually held her hand and started dating her.

Lulucia, who had forgotten for a moment that I was a man, suddenly grabbed my hand, and she held on tightly without letting go of her hand.

With both hands held together, we enjoyed our private walk.

After holding her hand, Lulucia’s face turned red for a moment, and she quickly started running around her Hanok village like a busy hamster, shaking off her matching pink skirt.

“Taekyung~! Look over there, over there~! “There’s a huge house over there~!”

“The guidebook says this is a house that has been here for almost a hundred years. “They say it’s open until evening, so it might be a good idea to go in.”

“Yes~!”

Lulucia is still holding my hand tightly and enjoying sightseeing with light steps.

The sight of her genuinely enjoying her date with me brought a smile to my face several times, even in short moments.

When dating in this world, it is customary for most women, not men, to plan the course, and in fact, when I date other people, I usually go on dates where I feel like I am following rather than leading.

In particular, in Sihee’s case, it was a date where everything from her meals to leisure facilities was led by her and her Eunbyeol.

Excluding formal dates such as stopping by cafes or movie theaters, this was actually the first time I had planned a date to properly enjoy sightseeing in this way, so I felt a strange joy in seeing Lulucia enjoying this time as well. It was a moment.

In addition, Lulucia’s appearance in her hanbok was attractive in a completely different way than her appearance in her priest’s attire, so much so that I often looked at it in fascination.

While the priestly clothes she usually wears are made to fit her body perfectly and reveal her voluptuous body without any hesitation, the sky-high hanbok she wears now is actually a little closer to her personality. Because it was a feeling.

Lively and innocent. The cute-looking Lulucia kept coming into my field of vision as if tempting me.

“Look at this, Taekyung~! “Isn’t this really cute?”

“Yes, Lulucia is cute.”

“Well, that’s not it~! This is it~! “The Hanok figure is so cute~!”

“Yes, Lulucia holding the Hanok figure in her hand is cute.”

“Ah, ah~! “How long are you going to keep teasing me for being a bit of a prank before you get over your temper?!”

After praising Lulu Xia several times as she smiled brightly while holding her Hanok figurine at her souvenir shop, she expressed her embarrassment by patting my chest with her new red face.

Certainly, her date with her was quite enjoyable, as expected.

She thought she had met quite a few women so far, but this was literally her first time meeting a type of woman like Lulucia.

In this world, except for Lulucia, there was no one with the personality of a ‘natural woman’ like her.

That’s because in this world, talking about femininity is about how capable you are as a head of a household and how well you can protect a man.

Her personality may have become so light-hearted thanks to the fact that she was born in Vatican City, where most of the citizens are women, and that she has a ‘recovery-level’ awakening ability rather than an awakening ability that has a direct effect on battle.

To me, that wasn’t a bad thing. The fact that Lulucia had her own mysterious charm meant that I, too, could fall in love with her mysterious charm while staying with her.

“Doesn’t this doll wearing hanbok look like Taekyung for some reason~? “

“Yes, I think so. And the one next to it somehow looks similar to Lulucia.”

“Then, shall we share this one by one? “Taekyung guided me through many things today, so I’ll give it to you as a gift!”

“If you give it to me, I will be grateful.”

Of course it was a pleasure to become closer to her, who had many mysterious charms, but at the same time, a strange feeling of regret was also sprouting in my heart about her.

The fact that I couldn’t hug her so charming and beautiful in her bed was something that strangely made my heart feel bitter.

It didn’t matter if I didn’t have a relationship with a woman who didn’t have any interest in me from the beginning. I also didn’t want to waste time and force myself with those women.

However, I couldn’t help but regret that I couldn’t become a ‘closer relationship’ with Lulucia, whose favor and feelings for me were obvious in this way. … In addition, her beautiful appearance also contributed to her confidence.

Of course, this was the part I had to give up. There was so much to lose by going against a Vatican saint and stealing her virginity.

At the very least, I have no choice but to take one step further from my dream of creating an environment where hunters do not die from monsters.

And while it may be true that Lulucia had favor towards me, she would not have wanted to mix her body with mine as she herself had lost her ability to awaken.

Of course, since she is a woman, she may be as interested in her sexuality as other women of her age, but it was her destiny to maintain her virginity for the sake of her awakening ability until her retirement.

Being held in a man’s arms just for a moment of satisfaction must have been a bit burdensome for Lulucia.

‘It’s unfortunate, but I have no choice but to maintain the same relationship as now.’

When she saw her back, she strangely tried to shake off her regretful feelings and continued her date without revealing her identity.

… It was some time later that Lulu Xia learned that her date with me today had a different purpose from the beginning.
