Chapter 795 – First Work at the Foundation (5)
When Do Ye-hee suddenly appeared behind us, Si-hee, I, and Lulucia had exactly three reactions.
With three reactions: expression of joy, surprise, and displeasure.
“Ah, yay~!”
“I said Yehee, not Yei…” .”
Lulucia’s kind reaction to everyone was not particularly strange. Perhaps it was not Do Ye-hee, but it was Lulucia who was happy to talk to anyone she knew, or perhaps even someone she met for the first time today.
Of course, I had never heard in advance that Do Ye-hee was coming today, so I couldn’t help but feel puzzled by her appearance.
“What, Do Yehee, were you supposed to come too?”
“… What is that reaction? “I wonder if there’s something I shouldn’t come here for?”
“That’s not it, I haven’t heard anything about you coming too.”
“… Hmm.”
Seeing my reaction, Do Ye-hee moves her gaze towards Si-hee and looks at her, then nods once. For some reason, seeing as the reaction was so obvious that even I could recognize it, it seemed as if he was deliberately acting like that to ask me to recognize it.
“Didn’t Sihee tell you? Well, I also didn’t hear that you were going to work at the foundation today, so maybe someone who was supposed to tell you something left it out on purpose.”
“…”
“If you knew Tae-kyung would be going to work today, you should have told me in advance, Si-hee. “What if I don’t share this important information with my sister?”
-Paddeuk, patdeuk.
Do Ye-hee blatantly looks towards her younger brother, and Si-hee openly grits her teeth right in front of her eyes, showing her anger.
The last time I saw you, I thought things got better between us, but when we actually ran into each other again, it didn’t seem like that was the case.
The reason we seemed to get along temporarily well last time was probably because we were temporarily suppressing our emotions. You won’t be able to understand the situation enough to show your usual emotions in things like ‘Bitch Slave Showdown’ or ‘Three-Headed Basilisk Battle’.
On the other hand, in an unrelated situation like now, you can make an expression that you don’t like it again, and it made no sense to say that the emotional gap that had accumulated over a dozen years could be filled in less than a year.
“Why didn’t you just take a break while it was like this? “I was so busy working in Indonesia not long ago that I returned home, so why bother following me on a day like this?”
“What kind of disgusting thing are you saying? It’s obvious what will happen if you go into the dungeon alone with Lulucia, who doesn’t have any real friends, so you tell me to stay home even though you know that? “If it was the time when Nari was active as a member of your party, how could you go in with two rearguards without a front lineman?”
“Well, if it’s the front line, just one Seongcheol here is enough even without you?!”
“So you shouldn’t have told me that sooner. I came here because you didn’t tell me in advance, right? “I’m worried, so I should be able to rest quietly at home.”
“Iike… !!”
“Ah, Sihee~! Sisters shouldn’t fight among themselves~!”
… Well, it was Do Ye-hee who said the right thing. In fact, if Sihee and Lulucia entered the dungeon alone, it would have been completely impossible to explore the dungeon at a level appropriate for their level.
In addition, Si-hee’s hunter network that she should have built up when she was working hard had all been disintegrated by Do Ye-hee, so it seemed like she had no other hunter acquaintances other than Lucia or Eun-byeol.
So Si-hee has no choice but to flutter and get angry in this situation. It is said that Do Ye-hee contributed to the creation of this background, but in any case, it was not wrong to say that it was dangerous to enter the dungeon with two rearguards.
Of course, even if Si-hee had really said straight away that I would go to work at the foundation today, I don’t know if Do Ye-hee would have calmly waited at home.
“I was wondering why our Sihee was talking to me about going to work together in the morning, but I didn’t know she would leave first, leaving my sister at her house.”
“…”
“But if you invited Tae-kyung to the foundation, I guess there’s nothing we can do about it. Tae-kyung is a precious person who does not despise even Si-hee’s subversive hobbies and gets along with her. Right?”
“A disturbing hobby~?”
“… “It’s just nonsense from that woman, Lulucia.”
In fact, it was an extremely shameless remark on the subject of a subject who had confessed to me not long ago that he was just as rebellious as Sihee.
It may have been wrong for Si-hee to cheat on Do Ye-hee, but if you think about it, it’s also because of what Do Ye-hee did to Si-hee in the past that led to this relationship, and regardless of whether I was right or wrong, out of the two, my feelings were naturally towards Si-hee. I had no choice but to go.
No matter how many things have happened with Do Ye-hee recently, the times when we communicated more deeply and shared affection in our hearts were much more frequent with Si-hee.
“You have a disturbing hobby, so why do you say it so shamelessly?”
“… “You’re saying something strange.”
“Uh, what is it~? “I’m curious about Sihee and Yei’s hobbies!”
“Huh, I told you it was nonsense!”
“Well, there is no such thing, so don’t worry about it!”
“Hey, hey…”
Lulucia was startled by the two people’s threats, her face turning bright red, and she carefully hid behind me. It’s good to have a bright personality, but your tact is a bit lacking.
Of course, I was only giving a verbal warning, and I had no intention of actually exposing it. Do Ye-hee’s restraint and climax prohibition are things that only I know, and I didn’t want to betray the honest heart that trusted me and confessed to me.
And Do Ye-hee also didn’t seem to have any intention of saying anything about Si-hee’s overall masochism, so the atmosphere on set that seemed ready to explode was suppressed more easily than expected.
“… Okay, that’s it. Sihee, now that I know what you were thinking when you got my wish, let’s stop having childish emotional fights, Sihee.”
“…”
“I confirmed that Taekyung is there, so there’s no need for me to go in with him. If I had known this would happen, I would have just stayed home like Sihee said. It was a long-awaited vacation.”
“Yay~? Where are you going~?”
“If a hunter wants to go to work at the Hunter Guild, there’s only one thing he has to do, right? Since I’ve already gone to work, I’m going to stop by the dungeon for a bit and then go back home.
But Sihee doesn’t seem particularly pleased with me today, so I’m thinking of just walking around alone.”
Do Ye-hee retreats more calmly than expected. Looking at his reaction, it seemed true that he went to work not because he wanted to disturb Sihee, but because he was really worried about her.
In addition, as soon as he realized that he didn’t really need my help because I was there, he seemed to quickly retreat. It was definitely different in many ways from Do Ye-hee before. At least I knew what actions Sihee liked and disliked and tried to act accordingly.
“… “Huh?”
On the other hand, Si-hee, who thought that he would interfere with her even more, looked embarrassed, and Do Ye-hee responded with a different reaction than she had expected, so she called her out.
“Now, wait a minute, you! “Are you really planning on going into the dungeon alone?”
“Whether I go in alone or with someone else is none of your business, Sihee, right? “Are you even worried about your sister, something you’ve never done before in your life?”
“… Not for a lifetime?! Well, there were times when I was worried when I was younger…”
“Then what? “If you’re going to beat this girl up in the first place, isn’t my presence today part of your plan, Sihee?”
“… No, I mean…”
Si-hee was strangely hesitant, as if she was holding onto Do Ye-hee, so I could roughly guess what she would say next.
Si-hee may not still have good feelings for Do Ye-hee, but after all, Si-hee also benefited from Eun-byeol once.
No matter how bad the relationship between sisters is, they can’t treat each other as harshly as they used to, as if they never saw each other at all.
“If you’re going to go into the dungeon alone… “Why don’t we just go in together?”
“Hmm?”
“It doesn’t seem like you have any strange purpose for Seongcheol, so I’m just saying that if you’re going to go into the dungeon together, I don’t mind going with you.”
“Hmm, are you okay? “Didn’t you mean to spend intimate time with Tae-kyung by throwing me into the wind?”
“If you leave it like this, it’ll be like I’m kicking you out! “It’s much more unpleasant to feel like I owe you something?!”
It was still a disingenuous reaction, but that disingenuousness was cute. And perhaps her older sister, Do Ye-hee, is thinking similarly.
“Okay, then. “My younger sister wants to go on a campaign with her older sister, so I have to join her.”
“I didn’t say anything in particular that I wanted to go with you!!”
“I don’t particularly enjoy going into the dungeon with you either. “I’m just responding to your pathetic request.”
“Someone asked a pathetic request from someone like you… !!!”
“Si, Sihee~! Yay,~! Now, sisters shouldn’t fight among themselves~!”
… Anyone could believe that they were biological sisters, not half-sisters.
