Chapter 291 – I Almost Broke My Arm if It Wasn’t for Me

… Clap!

“!”

I woke up in the middle of the night to a sudden metallic sound. Unlike when I woke up in the morning, I was alert even though I had just woken up, and my heart was beating fast in response to the intruder.

Kiki profit

With her eyes closed, she listened carefully to the sound of the door opening. The door opened and shortly thereafter an intruder entered.

Jeobjeobjeok, Jebubjeok, Jeobjeobjeok!

No, it wasn’t an intruder. They were intruders.

Realizing that there were multiple opponents, I didn’t move a bit from my prone position on the bed. I listened to their signs and at the same time tensed my body so that I could move at any time.

Sreuk, tak! Tadak!

However, when I heard the sound of the shoe closing followed by the sound of taking off my shoes, they were unexpectedly polite intruders.

“…”

“…”

“…”

After taking off their shoes at the entrance, they slowly walked into the room. I could read a lot from the sounds the intruders were making as they approached.

The creaking sound indicated that at least two of the intruders were wearing something like padding, and the dull sound of footsteps was evidence that one of them was quite tall.

Clap!

Of course, there were light footsteps and cautious but small footsteps. On the subject of sneaking in, the cheerful side seemed small for a man, and the cautious side seemed like a woman at all.

Gulp

No matter how much the former hero’s strength was strengthened, he could have died if he was stabbed. There is no healing magic or paralyzing magic here, so I had to be as careful as possible.

I still didn’t move my body, choosing to send them off unscathed rather than fighting and protecting them. I just lay on my bed and watched their movements.

Jeobuck, took! Jerk, Jerk!

Finally they came to my bed. I hoped to quietly steal only what I needed to steal and go out, paying attention only to unexpected actions.

Squeak, squeak

What?

It sounded like the rustling of cloth or something. No, it was more like the sound of something rubbing against the cloth rather than the rubbing of the cloth.

Took

At that moment, I felt something wrapped around my arm on the outside of the bed. I thought it was a rope to hold me down, but at the same time I instinctively moved my body.

I grabbed his hand as he tried to wrap the rope around my wrist.

Widely!

“Wow!”

I ignored the woman’s short screams and pulled her arm towards me. While the intruder was still unconscious, he turned her body like a top and draped her legs over her shoulders, attempting to break her arm with an armbar.

Wormwood!

“?!”

But he relaxed his muscles and created a tiny gap between me and himself. Between the gaps he made, he swung his arms like a whip and fled into my arms.

I’ve seen him wield it as if his arm had no bones. In a world other than here.

“Oh what, really!”

He stretched out his limbs and relaxed his tense body. I called out the name of one of the intruders as I felt my feet on the floor and my hands on the walls.

“Mina! Why!”

The big shadow looking down on me apologized in a blunt voice.

“I’m sorry, Jiheon.”

Soon after, other members of the party also revealed their identities.

“Look. Didn’t you say you noticed?”

“Your sister said to do it first.”

“If it wasn’t for me, I would have broken my arm.”

I stopped hiding it while talking about Mawang, Se-hee, and then Min-ah.

“Hey! Don’t come suddenly, call and come! Or sneak in or not!”

She shouted and turned on the light switch by the head of her bed. Immediately, the room brightened and their figures were revealed.

As usual, Mawang, wearing long padded jacket and sweatpants, had an easy-going image, and Se-hee showed a rather chic image by wearing black slacks and an ivory turtleneck knit inside and a black coat like pants on the outside.

“Jiheon, are you okay?”

Mina, who was worried about me, was wearing jeans and a beige fleece that showed off her legs. She was a bit loose-fitting, which was not her style, but she wore an oatmeal-colored knit over her white shirt to add a touch of neatness.

“Ah, yes.”

I nodded to her and sat down on the edge of her bed. When the tension was relieved, I closed my eyelids that suddenly came down and then opened them and asked the women.

“But why are you here?”

“What?”

“Yes?”

“Jiheon, don’t you remember?”

They had an expression asking why they would be the ones who heard my question. Then, among them, the Demon King spoke to me as a representative.

“You were supposed to leave early this morning.”

“It was so. But there is.”

To be more accurate, I checked the smartphone placed next to the bed. The smartphone screen that I had charged before going to bed told me that it was a little less than 5:30 in the morning.

Seeing that, he turned his head back to the women.

“Weren’t we supposed to meet at 7 instead of 5:30?”

“I did.”

“It was.”

“Yes, Jiheon.”

“But why are you coming at dawn?! And what is the rope in her hand!”

As she spoke, she pointed to the rope in Mina’s hand.

“Do you mean this?”

She lifted the rope and said.

“I heard that Jiheon will not go smoothly.”

“Why don’t I go quietly?! Just call and go!”

“What kind of call girl are you?”

“What bullshit, again!”

“Haha! You’re just kidding!”

While staring at the demon lord who said strange nonsense, she resigned herself to being angry, thinking that she was originally a woman like this. To some extent, I asked them again.

“By the way, why are you here now? We met at 7 o’clock.”

“I’m a little ahead of my load.”

After answering, the demon lord sat down on the bed I was sitting on and continued talking.

“I was wondering if I could make fun of you as an extra.”

“I almost broke Mina’s arm.”

Mina interrupted me.

“I’m fine, Jiheon. It is not my arm that will be broken by Jiheon.”

“Hey.”

“And bones stick together when they break.”

“Noisy. It won’t hurt though.”

“Being patient is good.”

“You hurt me, how would I feel? Done.”

I stopped the meaningless discussion and talked to the demon king again.

“Then are you leaving now?”

“That’s right. Have you packed all your things?”

“Yeah, there he is.”

He pointed to the bag leaning against the foot of the bed. Inside, there were things like clothes I would wear on a trip and cosmetics to use.

“Brother.”

While I was talking with her sister, Se-hee, who was bored, opened the refrigerator in her room and asked.

“Can I have a Coke?”

“Oh, drink it. But it must have lost a lot of steam. I drank it two days ago.”

“Jiheon.”

The person who spoke this time was Mina. Standing blankly in front of me, she approached the bag I pointed to earlier.

“Can I take this?”

As she picked up her bag, she hurriedly stood up and waved her hand.

“Uh, no. I’ll just take it. Are you okay.”

“No. I will.”

“Because it’s okay. Just leave it there.”

“I will do it. Think of it as an apology for surprising Jiheon.”

“Then, okay.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Mina nodded her head at the same time she answered, and headed for the front door with her bag. She sat down on the bed again, thinking that maybe she was going to leave it in her car.

As Mina left, she heard the door open and close, and in the midst of that, she suddenly had a question.

“It’s Sohee.”

“Hmm?”

When I called her name, the demon king looked at me with raised eyebrows as white as his hair.

“Why but?”

“How did you come in without making a sound?”

“You heard me. Isn’t that why you reacted?”

“That’s not it, you have a door lock.”

“Oh, is that what you mean? I had this.”

She said with a mischievous laugh and reached her hand into her long padded pocket. She took out her familiar key from there and continued her speech.

“You are the key to your room♥”

“Uh?”

“And the door lock turns off easily by removing the batteries. I used it.”

“Wait, when? Maybe yesterday?”

“When will it be time other than yesterday! Haha!”

Somehow, I was on the porch like that yesterday!

I smiled a little when I thought of the demon king who stayed suspiciously at the entrance. However, there was a problem with her plan.

“But if I went out to my room, you would get caught?”

“Why are you leaving?”

“Uh?”

“It’s extremely rare for a hikikomori like you to leave your room on your own.”

“Hey.”

Haha! Haha!”

“Hey, it’s early morning.”

“Oh, um, sorry.”

She told the laughing devil to be quiet. At this time, Se-hee, who was still rummaging through the refrigerator, intervened.

“Brother.”

“Huh?”

This time, Se-hee, who was rummaging through the freezer, asked me.

“I have ice cream here, can I eat it?”

“Oh, eat it. But are you hungry?”

“I am not hungry. I’m just a little hungry.”

If I was hungry, I would have stopped drinking Coke.

She turned her head to her sister at the rare sight. Then she asked with the form of her mouth, not making a sound so as not to be heard.

Why are you like that

You look pregnant.

“!”

My heart felt like it would stop at the words of the demon king. But when she saw my reaction, she laughed and poked her elbow into my shoulder.

Haha! It’s a joke, a joke!”

“Did you get scared?”

“Then what if I really got it?”

“I’ll take responsibility if it’s true, but I can’t help but peck.”

“Haha, he seems like such a strong man.”

“Noisy.”

“What are you talking about?”

As the two of us talked, Sehee, who was eating an ice cream bar, asked. Of course, it was a bit embarrassing if I heard the story earlier, so I pretended that it was nothing.

“It’s just small talk. Don’t mind.”

“Is it so?”

“Jiheon is right. No big deal.”

“… All right.”

It didn’t seem like he really knew, but Sehee looked down at her smartphone while eating ice cream.

Seeing that her attention was directed elsewhere, the demon king spoke quietly like before.

Magic.

“Ah.”

The moment I heard that word, I understood why. It was because I was the type to have a bit of an appetite right before my period. For reference, Mina was also similar to Sehee, but not to that extent, and the demon king had a lot of sexual desire.

“Wake up now!”

The demon king who was talking kicked out of bed and got up. Seeing that, I asked with a slightly surprised face.

“Uh, why?”

“Why? Now we have to leave for the East Sea!”

“You can go a little slower.”

“There is a reason for that.”

At this time, Se-hee stopped licking the wooden stick of ice cream and said.

“I’m going by train.”
