Chapter 903 – Awkward Relationship (2)

“…”

“…”

Do Ye-hee and I, who were stroking our sleeping heads, met our gazes and shared an awkward look. A situation where each person is worried because they don’t know what to say to each other.

Looking at it objectively, Do Ye-hee would have been more embarrassed by this situation than me. On his own, he was just sleeping peacefully in an empty room, but it was as if I had suddenly barged into the room.

I first said hello to the red-haired lady who was looking at me with a sleepy expression.

“It’s been a while, Do Yehee.”

“… What is it? Why are you here?”

“Why are you here? “This building is my guild building to begin with.”

“It’s not like that… “The construction hasn’t even been completed yet, so why are you here?”

“Remodeling work? “I took a quick look around earlier, and it looked like it was almost finished.”

“… “It’s almost over, but it’s not completely over.”

Even though she had just woken up, Do Ye-hee looked at me with strangely wary eyes.

“What do you mean it’s almost over?”

“There are still quite a few small details left. We need to make a final inspection to see if the bathroom tiles are poorly finished or if the window frames are warped. “If there’s even the slightest flaw later, you’re going to tell me something, aren’t you?”

“No way. “I’m grateful enough that you’ve already made it this far.”

“Even if it doesn’t really matter, ending things in a half-hearted way doesn’t suit me. Especially with large-scale projects like this, my iron rule is to make sure that no gossip comes out.”

Well, whatever. So, the Dokyung Group has been on a roll without controversy so far.

Even when the internet was hot about skipping building materials due to rising property prices, there was no such controversy about Dokyung Group’s buildings. It is also said that inter-floor noise is much better prepared compared to other apartments.

Do Ye-hee’s resourcefulness must have had a big impact on her ability to survive in the industry while using a luxury strategy for large-scale apartments.

“Remodeling just one guild building isn’t really a big project, is it? “I thought it was just a bonus contract for the large apartment complex being built over there in District 3.”

“I thought so at first, but if you’re going to do it, it’s better to be sure, right? I think this guild of yours has quite a future.

Later, after it grows into a large guild, there will be stories about our company that renovated the guild building, so let’s call it an investment for that time.”

“So you made a grand nameplate like CEO Sung Tae-kyung?”

“… Yeah, whatever. “It’s just because the desk in the representative office is empty, and I feel empty.”

Looking at this slightly embarrassed reaction, Do Ye-hee seemed strangely dishonest. Could it be that not all hunters who manipulate magic can be honest?

At least the wizards I’ve met so far generally felt the same way. It might just be a coincidence, though.

“Anyway, why did you really come? Are you trying to monitor whether I’m working properly?”

“Nothing in particular, I just stopped by Chuncheon City Hall because I had some business to do. The end of the year is almost over, and I was wondering how much it was completed.”

“Then I can understand because I looked around. What are your impressions?”

“You did a perfect job. I was surprised at how sophisticated it was. I have good sense.”

“Of course. “Who is handling this?”

It was Do Ye-hee, smiling with pride at my praise. Is it really your area of ​​expertise?

Now that I think about it, the last time we met in Indonesia, there seemed to be one more person next to me, but today it seemed like there wasn’t one. At least I couldn’t find it on my hunter radar.

“It looks like Seolhwa isn’t there. Do Ye-hee, seeing you sleeping alone like this.”

“Yes? Snowflake? That child is probably…”

-Smulsulmul.

“I am here, Seong Tae-kyung.”

“… Wow?!”

At an unexpected moment, I suddenly let out a boy-like scream at the voice that suddenly came out from under my feet.

And Do Ye-hee, who was watching it in front of her eyes, burst out laughing.

“Phew, ahahaha!”

“…”

“What is wow, wow? “You were the kind of person who could be surprised like that, right?”

“… How can you not be surprised when you see this? Suddenly, a human face and voice pop out from beneath my feet.”

“I’m sorry for saying this while you were surprising me, but you didn’t pop out from under my feet, you appeared from the shadows, Seong Tae-kyung.”

I calmed my startled heart as I saw Seol-hwa sticking her head out from Do Ye-hee’s shadow and answering. I didn’t expect the level of stealth skill to be undetectable even by the Hunter Sexual Desire Manager system’s search function for nearby hunters.

“How long have you been there… ?”

“It will be about two hours since I toured the District 3 construction site with the owner around 7 p.M. “I often work like this to prevent men from approaching my owner, who is male-phobic.”

“… Is it true, Do Ye-hee?”

“Well, that’s right. If it became known that I have a phobia of men, it would be like revealing a useless weakness, wouldn’t it? To prevent something like that in advance, you need to block men from approaching you as much as possible.”

“This is one of the specialties that only I, a shadow caster, can do. For your information, you will also receive a special allowance, Seong Tae-kyung.”

“Ah, yes…”

Yeah, whatever. Do Ye-hee is probably doing that to overcome her own weaknesses.

Still, seeing as he didn’t do this on the day he dueled with Si-hee in the dungeon, on the day he stalked me, or on the day he held her in my bed, it seems that the use of folk tales in this way was only limited to everyday life.〈 Br〉

“But you just said that Seol-hwa’s job is to block the approach of men approaching Do Ye-hee, right?”

“Yes, Seong Tae-kyung.”

“Then why didn’t you stop me when I patted your head just now? Do you think I look like a woman in Seolhwa’s eyes?”

“Ah, regarding Seong Tae-kyung, the master said it was okay not to block him, so I didn’t bother to do so.”

“…”

“Well, it’s not like they’re giving you any special treatment?! It’s just that you’re not the kind of man who scares me… Well, I just didn’t feel like a man, so I made an exception!”

Even though I said that, my face seemed to blush a little more.

It was an obvious lie, but I was fooled. Not being honest about one’s feelings was a basic characteristic of a wizard.

I secretly smiled at the fact that out of all the men Do Ye-hee had encountered so far, I was the only one who could let her guard down.

“Yes, yes. “I’ll say so.”

“I’m not saying that, but… !”

“Anyway, thank you. To be honest, I didn’t think you would care this much. “I thought you would just repair and return the parts that were reasonably visible, but I never thought you would personally take the lead and even remodel it.”

“… Yes, of course. I told you just now. “Gwae, I don’t want to work in a way that causes gossip.”

“Yes, yes. Is there anything you would like to receive in return?”

“… “Repayment?”

I nodded and answered Do Ye-hee, who tilted her head.

“It is said to be linked to the apartment land contract, but anyway, the remodeling of the guild building is almost unpaid. But after using such high-quality personnel without compensation, my conscience was strangely pricked.”

“Our master is definitely a high-quality person. “It is undeniable that the current Dokyung Group is the best construction company in Korea because of the owner.”

“…”

“If there’s anything you want, just tell me, Do Ye-hee. “If it is a request that I can grant, I will try my best to grant it.”

Instead of answering my suggestion, Do Ye-hee quietly blushed.

He must have been imagining something sinister after hearing that it was a favor I could grant. In fact, it was a proposal deliberately aimed at that aspect.

Because we had already obtained the information that Do Ye-hee’s sexual desire had accumulated to a certain extent based on the expected acquisition points. Perhaps in his heart, Do Ye-hee also expected this development to some extent.

Of course, my relationship with her was not as comfortable as that with Sihee and other women. Even if you say something like ‘I think you have built up sexual desire, would you like to give it a try?’ Without any context to Sihee or Eunbyeol, it could lead to a relationship without any problems.

However, in Do Ye-hee’s case, that kind of method was not possible, so even if it felt like going a bit far, an appropriate justification and excuse were needed, and since the remodeling of the guild building was done without compensation, offering to repay it was just the right thing to use in this situation. It was a good and appropriate excuse.

“Well, it would be difficult for you to think that I am a lewd woman just because of what happened in Indonesia the other day.”

“Huh?”

“Well, at that time, I had some free time, and I was just a little curious about you, a man that Sihee had a crush on. It would be very difficult for you to mistake me for a lustful woman who thinks dirty thoughts every time I encounter you…”

“Okay? I didn’t really limit my repayment to only erotic things, but I guess that’s what it sounded like to you, Do Ye-hee?”

“… Ah, ah, ah.”

Do Ye-hee expressed her own lewdness by defending that she was not a lewd woman.

It was a red-haired girl who couldn’t even shake her head from side to side with a bright red face.
