Chapter 27 – Back to Another World…?

“Actually, I wanted to tell you from the first time we met… “

“What is that?”

Her face as she asked was not different from the one the hype showed yesterday. It was a face of vain hope.

Even so, 7 years ago, I put in my mouth what I should have said from then.

“I liked you.”

“Me too! Then we date,”

“But I won’t do it anymore.”

“… What?”

Yuri’s expression at this time was truly spectacle. She was, of course, like an incompetent little boy whose stupid plan she had conceived was blocked in a way she never expected.

Looking at her, she remembered what happened yesterday. After sending her articles and recordings of her hype, she was soon called by Yuri. That meant that unlike me, she didn’t shut out the hype. If she had blocked her, she wouldn’t have received the articles and recordings sent to his number.

I hate to admit what he said, but he was right. She knows that Yuri is just such a woman.
She doesn’t look as shiny or special as the first time I saw her, and compared to the girls passing by on the street, she was no different. Yuri was an ordinary person. She just weirded out the management of her fishing grounds, and she was a woman who didn’t have anything special about other people.

Yuri then asked with a puzzled look on her face.

“No, Jiheon. What are you talking about?”

“I told you. I liked you, and I don’t anymore.”

“What? Don’t you like me Aren’t I your first love?”

“That’s right. But not now.”

At my reply, she raised her hand and held the knife and fork firmly. No matter how hard she held on, the piece of steak stuck in her fork fell onto the table.

“… Why?”

Yuri asked with her white face.

“Why, why don’t you like me? Huh? It’s your first love. You loved me for 7 years.”

“I did, but a lot of time has passed. I guess that’s why.”

“No, for seven years”

“I told you. Too much time has passed.”

When I was in another world, my subordinate said. If unrequited love lasts more than a year, it’s not love, it’s obsession. That’s right. Immediately after her return, I was emotional because of the memory of her then, but after a few days like this, I was able to think of Yuri calmly.

“How much time has passed. What are you talking about? And she’s been liking her for years, how does that change so quickly?”

Rather, it was an unrequited love that should not be maintained for 7 years. I should have confessed right away and made a difference, or I shouldn’t have been in business at all.

“What’s the matter. Is it because I haven’t liked you for a while? No, do I like you now?”

“… It’s yuri That’s not right.”

“Right! It’s because I don’t like you!”

She looked like she was about to cry now. I said while glaring at that face.

“I’d rather keep disliking it. I hope it will be like this.”

“What?”

“You just didn’t like me. If so, I wouldn’t have wasted seven years loving you.”

“Oh, no, that… “

“You only saw me as a toy. No, it was more of a trinket for bluff than a toy.”

“Oh no, Jiheon-ah.”

I did not forget what Yuri had been doing in the classroom. She sat down next to me, ignoring her, but looking at him. Right after he broke, she looked around at the other girls with a proud expression on her face. It’s as if she’s been exaggerating on her part.

The first thing I had doubts about was when I heard that Yuri liked me.

Yuri knew that she liked me. And she said that to her boyfriend. The reason she said it was obvious. Because someone likes you, you can say it’s a specification.

Even if I liked it with all my heart, to Yuri, I was a spec. In other words, it was evidence. Proof that Yuri is an attractive woman enough to hang on to her for years.

I can’t. She didn’t want to see her face any more.

As she held back the bread she had just eaten, she grabbed her card and stood up.

“I will go first. Since you paid the bill, enjoy your meal. Don’t pretend to know me again.”

“Jiheon!”

Yuri woke up calling my name.

“You weren’t going to tell me to go out with you? Then why did you bring me here?”

At this point, she was talking almost screaming. I said to Yuri, her face pale.

“It was polite. Courtesy for the 7 years of time I wasted. It was a waste of time, so I wanted to finish the end as well as possible. And… “

“And?”

“I was curious. Is it because you’re comfortable and don’t have a pounding heart? Or do you really not like it? So I confessed in a place with an atmosphere where possible, but I wasn’t thrilled at all.”

After saying that, I walked out of the restaurant. On that day, Yuri caught on.

“Jiheon-ah, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It’s my fault! Forgive me for everything I did wrong! Please!”

“Forgive me, I forgave you a long time ago.”

As she spoke, she removed her hand from her sleeve.

“Jiheon-ah… !”

She looked at me with her teary eyes. I trampled on the hope contained in it.

“You are just an immature girl. I have nothing to forgive.”

“Huh?”

“And even if you don’t forgive me, I will never like you.”

“Oh, no… !”

She moved her steps again. What stopped me like that was Yuri’s scream.

“Kyaaaaah!”

It wasn’t fear, it was a scream full of rage.

Looking back reflexively, Yuri was glaring at me with tears in her eyes.

“Customer!”

An employee who had been watching us from earlier approached us as if running. She said to me, who seemed rational at least.

“Guest, could you please be quiet?”

“Sorry. I’ll leave right away.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I walked straight to the entrance. Seeing me like that, Yuri shouted.

“Where are you going!”

She ignored it and left her restaurant. As I reached the elevator in front of the entrance, she caught up with me.

“Why go! Date me! Let’s date!”

Her screams rang in her ears.

I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I headed for the emergency stairs. Even so, Yuri followed me and said.

“Why aren’t you dating! I told my parents that we were dating!”

“… “

“My high school classmates know that you and I are dating!”

“… “

“Then let’s only date for a month. No, just one week! Huh? Let’s date for just one week and then decide!”

“Please stop!”

Impatient with her, I grabbed her by the shoulder. I didn’t want to hear her voice, which was almost sobbing now.

The first love I knew, Yuri, was not this kind of woman. She was a bright, cheerful, shy girl who was friendly with everyone. If possible, I wanted to leave such a bright impression of my first love. She’s not such a squishy, ​​pitiful person.

She told her with those emotions and her anger that she hadn’t looked at me at all until now.

“Don’t look at me as a tool to boost your self-esteem anymore. Please.”

“… Sniff.”

Hearing my words, Yuri burst into tears. She started to weep a drop or two, and then she sat down.

“I’m sorry, Jiheon! Whip, I’m sorry!”

I left her like that, turned around her and went down the stairs to her.

Yuri did not get up and sobbed, struggling like a fussy child.

“Jiheonaaa! Sorry, sorry! Please, sniffle, forgive me!”

Who did. A woman’s weapon is tears. I felt it deeply in my heart. No matter how much I didn’t pound on her, the more I heard her cry, the more her steps slowed down. But I didn’t go back If I went back and hugged her, I would have suffered even more pain than this.

Yuri became her trinket, her self-esteem plummeted, she had to listen to all her demands, and even if she couldn’t stand it and tried to break up, she would cry and cling to it like that. If she can’t leave now, she can’t leave forever.

Her fire escape stairs down were narrow, and her cries echoed loudly. Because of that, I had no choice but to listen to Yuri talking until I left Building 1.

“Jiheonaaa! Oh I like you! Meet me!”

“Hey, you bastard! I want to meet you! You’re going to that bitch! That’s it!”

“I’m sorry Jiheon! Sorry for cursing! Please come! Don’t go!”

“Don’t go, you fucking bastard! I think you, me or some bitch will meet you!”

“No, I didn’t mean it just now! Sorry! Don’t go! I told you not to go!”

“If I go, will I die? I’m really dying!”

… They say first love is sweet and sour, but in my case, I wrote it dirty. Respect that too.

I don’t know how I got here. I just walked without thinking, and I was already in front of the building where I was living.

I didn’t remember a few things until I came here. Blocking her glass number that kept calling, she moved her feet as she searched for her familiar landscape.

Ah, I didn’t know that kicking my first love would be this hard. I was planning to break up cleanly and come out, but it got twisted and I felt dirty.

Yuri’s plans are now all messed up. In my room, there was still a notebook with plans for the future with Yuri. It was a note with nothing but trivial content.

There were only useless delusions about how to confess, where to go on a date, and how to propose.

I was happy when I wrote it, even if it was a stupid piece of writing. Only their hearts were already waiting for death, holding hands as they grew old. They said that they were happy, that it was fortunate that they met each other, and that they were happy to live a life without regrets like that.

But now the chances of that happening are zero. It wasn’t impossible even when it was only when I kissed Gwadae. It was possible enough until I became friendly with the Demon King and had dinner tonight. I had eliminated that possibility myself.

Even so, I didn’t regret kicking the glass. She was like a swamp. Once she falls in, she can’t get out. She always ignored my will, lived her life for her, and would be replaced by someone else when her light eventually faded. As if hype picked me right after the fall.

The reason I expected this was simple. Because I was already abandoned once, as a hero.

People think of the warrior as something great. Enough to believe the lie of a mixed blood between an angel and a royal family. However, just as the artificially created homunculus was the true identity of the hero, the hero was merely a mascot of mankind.

The kingdom bastards must have been comfortable. Because a keut like me became a warrior. They are comfortable to hold in their hands and can move freely.

To be honest, when I defeated the demon king, I was happy that I would no longer live as someone’s puppet. Although it was an arranged marriage, he thought that he would go to the countryside with his pretty wife and live a leisurely life. However, he heard that he was killed by an assassin in modern times. To those who thought it was a subordinate.

What I felt after hearing that was resignation rather than anger. Maybe I was not aware of it without even realizing it.

It was only natural that tools that were no longer useful would be thrown away. If it’s a weapon, break it so that no one else can use it.

Why did I survive so hard without knowing that? Did she passionately love Yuri without knowing that she was like that? The answer was obvious. Because i’m sick

At this time, a bright light came on behind me. Seeing my shadow lengthen, it must have been lit from a low position. It seemed to be a car light.

Booooong!

Then the sound of the engine was heard. It was a loud engine sound that could not be heard in such a narrow alley. It was loud enough to be heard on the highway.

I turned my head back as I thought I was getting closer. I witnessed a car come running towards me with a blindingly bright light.

I’ve seen this kind of scenery before. I remembered. It was the day I witnessed Yuri’s first kiss. That day, I was walking with such a dark mind that I almost got hit by a car.

If I go to another world this time, I want to go back to when I was first summoned. This time, I wanted to live according to my will, not being considered as someone else’s tool.

Whoops! Kwak!

Fluff!

The car that came running stopped after hitting me.
