165 – Wrong Interview Methods (Complete)

“yes?”

Mina looks puzzled.

His large eyes widened.

Mina glanced at Jihyun to see if he was joking, but Jihyun just stared at her with serious eyes.

Then Mina’s face begins to harden like a plaster statue.

‘Hey Jihyun, what is she talking about all of a sudden?’

Not only Mina, but I am also embarrassed.

Because I didn’t know Jihyun would suddenly ask me this question.

Besides, there’s no need to beat around the bush anymore. It’s too direct.

“Really, Mina?

Jihyun spoke with a smile on her face and a friendly tone, but her eyes were quite murderous, as if she was whispering, ‘It would be better to confess obediently when I say nice things.’

Mina couldn’t help but flustered because he was speaking with confidence rather than doubt.

“T, how could that be! How dare I! No, Sister. It’s not true… …!”

Mina stuttered, unable to calm her trembling heart.

I was denying it with all my might, but Jihyun didn’t seem to believe me at all.

Yerin, who had been sitting with a sullen face, also glared at her with a sinister expression. Mina could only spit out a sigh with an uneasy look on her face.

Because the sight was so pitiful, I decided to help Mina out at this point.

Of course, if I had shown myself as defending Mina, Jihyun and Yerin would have reacted more sharply, but I couldn’t continue to leave Mina alone like that.

But wasn’t this an interview?

Surely you didn’t call him with this in mind?

“Jihyun-ah.”

“why.”

“How many times have I told you that’s not the case? Why are you doing this now?”

“Huh. Well?”

Jihyun nodded at the pink-haired woman who was sweating profusely and making a mockery.

“Look at that. Doesn’t that reaction seem a bit suspicious?”

“I, I really! Really not, sis!”

“They say a strong denial is a strong affirmation. From what I’ve seen, it seems almost certain. Mina, we can’t just leave that alone.”

“Yes, Yerin? Why are you like that too… … ugh.”

Mina couldn’t help but cry at Jihyun and Yerin’s joint performance.

In times like this, we fit together really well.

This isn’t like bullying a kid or anything.

‘What should I do with this?’

I washed my face in my mind as if I had a headache.

I know why they react this way.

It must be because of what has happened so far.

But I can say for sure that this time it won’t be the case.

Of course, I already knew that Mina had some interest in me, but that was before she realized that I was on all fours.

If you think about it logically, wouldn’t you continue to like a Casanova who walks on four legs?

Moreover, if it was not a passionate feeling like love, but rather a feeling at best of affection, it would have subsided even more easily.

Therefore, Jihyun and Yerin’s worries are nothing but in vain.

“Haa… … Jihyun, Lee Jihyun.”

“what.”

Jihyun responded in a slightly prickly voice.

The way she stared at me was like a woman staring at a playboy. It really broke my heart.

“Think about it carefully. There’s no way Mina would be interested in me. Right?”

“Because you know you’re a slut who wears panties?”

Bar, you flirt?

Yeah.

“What’s wrong? Why are you like that? You’re a womanizer. You’re dating one of us.”

“Oh, well, okay. Hmm.”

There was no use going through each one, so I tried to nod my head.

“Big. Anyway, it’s common sense that you wouldn’t be interested in a man who’s dating multiple women. Right, Mina?”

“Huh? Oh, yes!”

Mina stared blankly for a moment, then came to her senses with an ‘Ah!’ and quickly nodded her head in agreement with what I said.

Look at that.

You’re nodding your head so vigorously.

Mina, that guy really isn’t interested in me rationally.

If I were in Mina’s shoes, I would have half-disgusted myself and thought to myself, ‘Wow, four legs? Looks like you’re playing with your dick.’

“under.”

But Jihyun just laughed in vain as if it was funny.

“That would be true. Then what are we?”

“We are a bit of a special case.”

Why are you doing this when you know everything?

Jihyun put her hand on her forehead as if it hurt, and Yerin muttered quietly.

“I trust Mina.”

“huh?”

“what?”

Mina and I blinked at Yerin’s unexpected words. Judging from the way Mina reacted like that, it seems like Yerin’s actions were really unexpected.

“After thinking about it carefully, I think I can trust what Mina says.”

“Yerin? What brings you here?”

“What’s the matter, teacher? If I, a friend, can’t trust Mina, who will?”

Mina looked at Yerin, who was speaking normally for the first time in a long time, as if she was touched.

“Yes, Yerin… … .”

“Mina, I trust you.”

Yerin nodded with a quiet smile and continued talking.

“Our Mina isn’t a slut, so she wouldn’t covet her friend’s lover, right?”

“Blood, pink?”

“Right, Mina? Aren’t you going to answer?”

“Of course, yeah!”

“Yes. I trust our Mina. I don’t want to think of you as such a shameless, repaying favor with enmity, swindler.”

“Ah, haha, ha.”

Mina let out a laugh that was hard to tell whether she was laughing or crying.

By the way, Yerin, what is a ping-pong to your friend? A ping-pong.

I need to fix that bad speaking habit.

“Ah, anyway! I’m really not interested in Seojun oppa… … .”

Mina looked at my face for a moment and muttered, then paused for a moment when she showed that she was not interested. However, she soon shook her head and turned her gaze towards Jihyun and Yerin.

“I really like this clan, that’s why.”

“so?”

Although she didn’t seem to believe him at all, Jihyun continued asking questions anyway.

“Well, let’s leave that aside and go back to the question I asked earlier. Mina, you’ve had several opportunities to join a clan, but you haven’t. Right?”

“yes.”

“But what made you suddenly decide to join a clan? You’ve always insisted on party play.”

“… … .”

Mina was silent for a moment, then glanced back and forth between me and Yerin.

There were many emotions entangled and mixed in those eyes.

A little bit of envy, jealousy, admiration, longing, and… …a sense of inferiority.

“… … I feel like I’m the only one being left behind.”

Mina lowered her head slightly and muttered in a voice that seemed slightly bitter.

“Actually, I thought that since I had some talent, I could work on my own to some extent without any major problems.”

Actually, Mina had considerable talent.

He has excellent skills despite not receiving any support from a clan.

The memory of Mina defeating a C-rank scavenger when she was a D-rank hunter is still vivid in my mind.

To begin with, C-rank hunters are in the realm of talent.

The fact that he reached the rank of C-rank Hunter on his own was proof that he had considerable talent.

“but…….”

Mina muttered in a slightly lower voice.

“… … When I saw Seojun oppa and Yerin, I realized that it wasn’t that.”

Since he seemed a little depressed, Jihyun opened her lips and offered comfort that wasn’t comforting.

“These guys are a bit of a special case. In the first place, there are probably only a handful of people in the country with as much talent and ability as these guys.”

That’s right.

In Yerin’s case, she was truly talented.

I have never seen a genius like Yerin in my life.

Oh, of course, excluding Jihyun.

“Of course, Seojun is the type that relies only on ability, so it’s a bit ambiguous.”

“Jihyun, you know. I’ve been to the top once… … .”

… … I’ve conquered it before.

I didn’t bother to add anything because Mina was watching, but Jihyun seemed to know what I was going to say and laughed at me.

“Oh, really? That was a long time ago anyway. Now that I’ve lost my memories, I can’t even beat Seoyoon or Yerin, let alone me. You have to look at the present, Seojun.”

“… … .”

I kept my mouth shut.

When will I finally regain my memories and take revenge?

If I regain all my memories, I can defeat Jihyun, right?

Well, this is the first time we’ve conquered the tower.

Looking at Charlotte being wary of me, I think I can definitely win… … .

Oh, did I just think too highly of it?

But you need to drink kimchi stew like this to gain strength, right?

“You two? What are you talking about?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

I waved my hand as if it was nothing, towards Mina, who seemed to have no idea what we were talking about.

I felt a little sorry for Mina, but I couldn’t tell her about the regression.

There was no need to keep it a secret now, but Mina wouldn’t believe me easily and I couldn’t let her look at me like I was crazy.

“Ah. There was a brief pause. Please continue speaking, Mina.”

“Yes, Unnie… … Where did I leave off… … Oh, that’s right. The reason I chose Jihyun Unnie’s clan over Sephiroth’s clan is, after all, because Yerin is there.”

Yerin tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

“me?”

“Yeah. Yerin.”

“Why me?”

“Well, this is a bit of a personal thought, but… … I thought that if we were members of the same clan, I might be able to get more help from you. For example, with training… … .”

Looking at the way she spoke like that, it seemed like when Mina and Yerin were living together, Yerin would occasionally help her train.

And that training method seems to have been quite effective.

“I’m busy. I have to stay at my parents’ house.”

“Yeah. I guess so… … ?”

“Oh. So if I sign up here, I won’t be able to see much?”

Suddenly, Yerin smiles mischievously.

“And I’m the successor to the Seong family lineage. I don’t have time to spend time with you every day.”

“I just wish you could help me out for a little while, if only when you have some time, Yerin.”

Yerin scratched her chin.

“By the way, Mina. Are you practicing the magic training method I told you about last time consistently?”

“Huh? Yeah.”

“Magic training method? Did you teach that to Mina?”

Yerin nodded to my question.

“I just got some help from my time at the Academy. So, I gave him a little bit of guidance.”

“Could this be the magic power training method of the Seong family?”

“Yes. I learned it when I was at my parents’ house.”

… … Can you teach the magic power training method of the Seong family so carelessly?

There are many types of magic training methods, but if it’s something that the children of the main family learned, it should be at least advanced, right?

“Yerin, you do take care of Mina a bit though.”

There aren’t many opportunities for ordinary hunters to learn useful magic techniques.

Even if you entered a mid-level clan, they would only teach you slightly better magic training methods than what you had learned during your academy days, and truly excellent magic training methods were monopolized by a very small number of people.

For example, I will teach you a magic technique that is only useful to your direct or collateral clan relatives or executives… … .

Yerin’s friends all seem to be afraid of her, so I thought she might be treating them too harshly, but it turns out she actually takes care of them.

I felt slightly relieved.

“It’s not that great.”

Yerin answers refreshingly.

But Mina looked slightly moved.

“… … You told me something so great, Yerin? I thought you told me something useful, but it’s the magic method of the Seong family line.”

“I told you, it’s not that great?”

“I didn’t even know that. Oh, thank you, Yerin.”

“… … .”

I looked at Yerin and Mina and thought.

‘It’s the advanced magic power training method of the Seong family… … It could be a coincidence for Mina.’

I wondered how she was able to grow so quickly without much support, but when I realized that Yerin had been helping her, knowingly or unknowingly, I was able to understand to some extent.

Whenever he had time, he would watch her train and teach her magic techniques. Yerin, you know. Even though you were always like Ping-Chang, Ping-Chang, you took care of her as a friend.

“… … That’s not true.”

Yerin whispered very quietly, so quietly that Mina couldn’t hear.

I blinked my eyes and looked at Yerin, and before I knew it, Yerin had raised her head and was looking at me.

What just happened?

“Okay, let’s stop asking questions here. I don’t think there’s any point in asking any more questions.”

“Oh, is it over?”

When Jihyun, who had been quietly drinking water, suddenly announced the end, Mina blinked her eyes.

“Could it be that… that fell?”

“It fell.”

Jihyun chuckled.

“You passed, Mina.”

“yes?”

Mina was slightly surprised, and Jihyun got up from her seat and patted Mina on the shoulder.

“Please take care of me from now on, Mina.”

“Ah, yes. Sister… … No, Clan Leader.”

“When we’re alone, just call me Unni. There’s no need to be so formal.”

“but…….”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s a small clan anyway.”

“Yes, Sister.”

Jihyun smiled faintly and whispered in Mina’s ear.

“And Mina.”

“yes.”

“Are you really not interested in him?”

“yes?”

Jihyun patted Mina’s shoulder again as she hiccupped, and soon smiled mischievously.

“I’m kidding.”

“Aha, haha, ha. I see, just kidding… … .”

“Yeah, Mina. I wish this could just end as a joke, right?”

“Yes, Sister. I’ll be careful… … .”

“Oh, look at this kid? Is there anything to watch out for?”

Mina just let out her usual awkward laugh.
