Chapter 7 – If You Go by X, You’re Like X

“Okay, let’s end today’s class here. See you all next time.”

These were the words the professor said as he closed the book and put it in his bag. When the lecture was over, the students took their books and muttered, “Thank you for your hard work,” Or chatted with their friends sitting next to them. However, I, sitting alone and lonely, prostrated myself on the desk without closing the book.

Oh, I almost fell behind.

Yesterday’s threshing, disguised as sparring, lasted for nearly three hours. 30 minutes were beaten in everyday clothes, and the rest were beaten wearing sweatpants with the name of the kendo master. Of course, I also blocked it. Blocked with his head, blocked with his arms, blocked with his belly, hit with his thigh, no, blocked. I just couldn’t stop it.

Because of the pain, I couldn’t sleep properly and couldn’t wake up in the morning, so I was almost late for the morning lecture. Even in the middle of the lecture, I fell asleep countless times and the professor memorized my name in a bad way.

It would have been better if it was so painful that I couldn’t even move my body. If that was the case, I would have gone to the hospital to get sick. When I woke up, the muscle pain was gone, just enough to move.

Anyway, what do I do now…

Since today is Thursday, the lecture ended in the morning. After that night, I had only talked to Yuri once, and I had no friends to hang out with other than Yuri. The guy who exaggerated never talked about anything other than that, so he wasn’t a friend to me.

In an instant, the demon king’s face came to mind. She was shaped like a doll and had a face like that of a Northern European beauty. It’s a monster that beats people at random and smiles refreshingly, saying, “Oh, that was fun!”

“Jiheon!”

Someone called my name He moved his bruised and throbbing body and raised his head. Gwadae was standing right next to me. He looked down at me with a smile on his handsome face that said he was good for women. Yuri, whom she had been hanging out with since yesterday, was sitting at her desk a little away from here and talking with her same-sex friends.

“!”

It seems like our eyes just met, but was it an illusion?

Even though her feelings for Yuri were gone, this guy didn’t seem all that good. Because of that, I spoke in a blunt tone without even realizing it.

“Why.”

Unlike the time when he was rejected by the demon king yesterday, he did not panic and spoke casually.

“You said you went to an internet cafe with senior Sohee yesterday?”

“How do you know that?”

“I heard someone saw it at a PC room yesterday.”

Then he showed me the screen of his mobile phone. Inside, there was a picture of me and the demon king smiling and playing games.

I was surprised that I could laugh so lively, but I felt a sense of displeasure that someone filmed it on their own. I asked the hype who took the phone with an uncomfortable feeling.

“Who took this picture?”

“Daehoon took the picture.”

“Who is he?”

“There he is.”

On the side where the exaggeration was covered, I could see a fat boy leaving the classroom. His slightly dark complexion made his face strangely familiar. If I remember well, I was one of the people who came out of the PC room and watched the demon king yesterday.

I grimaced at him, not hiding my displeasure. Resisting the urge to clenched his fist, he raised his hand and scratched the back of his neck.

“I’m the type of person who doesn’t really like things like this. Being photographed carelessly or posted in gossip.”

I had enough of that when I was a warrior. If I made the slightest mistake, the nobles would attack me like piranhas. Because of that, rumors circulated that they were having an affair, and rumors that they were colluding with demons. I didn’t want to get into someone’s gossip even in another world.

“I wish I could erase it quickly. In particular, Ma, No, Sohee senior should be deleted.”

Unlike me, the Demon King was from a family with a certain level of wealth. If he was a father who cared enough for his daughter to the point of giving her an empty kendo book, he wouldn’t be able to stand still at such a violation of his portrait rights.
To my words, he replied with a bloody, refreshing smile.

“Okay. I’ll ask Dae-hoon to erase it quickly.”

“That’s it.”

I lay down on my desk again and went to sleep. But hype, which I thought was over, called me again.

“Jiheon. I still have something to say.”

“What else?”

I got up and looked at the overlord. It would have been rude to anyone to see, but he didn’t even show a sign of being offended.

“It’s because I have something to ask you. Can you tell me about the game you met with senior Sohee?”

“… What?”

“No, Yuri says that Sohee and you look good, and wants to play games together. Can you tell me about the game?”

“Wait, I met him at the game?”

He and I hit and fucked and became close… Not go!

I was so tired that my head didn’t turn for a second. Or maybe it’s because the big guy said something outrageous and his brain stopped. Anyway, I remembered the setting of meeting the devil in the game.

“Oh, I met you. Uh, we met at the game. By the way, do you want me to tell you the name of the game?”

“Huh.”

Why does he think I’m willing to tell him?

“The server was closed because it wasn’t very famous and there were few people there.”

“Really?”

Goose, you idiot. And even if I actually met them in the game, I’ll tell them the perk.

I thought that the hype would listen to me and leave my seat without hesitation. But he was surprisingly persistent.

“No, then why don’t you go to a PC room? With Sohee sunbaenim, you and me. Oh, and glass too!”

“Yuri doesn’t go to internet cafes.”

“Oh right. You said you grew up with Yuri. Yuri has been hanging out with me at the internet cafe these days.”

When I asked to go, I never went!

“Come to think of it, Yuri talks a lot about you.”

“… Really?”

“Then! Do you really talk about me every time we meet? Like something that happened in middle school or high school.”

As Yuri interrupted her story, her mind was confused for a moment. It was the Demon King who made my mind clear at this time.

“Is Jiheon there?”

Like Jangpangyo’s equipment, a silver-haired demon wearing a green tracksuit stood proudly at the door of the classroom. But her smile vanished when she saw the hype standing next to me.

“Tsk.”

As if she had seen something she couldn’t see, she clicked her tongue once and walked to my desk.

“Hello, senior!”

She ignores the hype that scatters a handsome smile, and then suddenly slaps me on the back.
Match!

“Ah! This crazy… !”

When she was hit on her bruised back, she screamed and cursed. But since she was in the classroom, she couldn’t swear, she just wriggled around her body like an earthworm. The Demon King started laughing again, wondering if I was having fun.

The demon king asked with a smile on his face.

“Hey, would you like to join us for lunch today?”

What came out of my mouth was, of course, not acceptance.

“Why are you holding hands as soon as we meet! Aren’t you satisfied with yesterday’s fan thing!”

“Yesterday, Jim didn’t hit unilaterally, but sparred equally.”

“Dalian? Is sparring on an equal footing with someone who has received dozens of awards and no protective equipment!”

“I’m not even wearing anything.”

“It wouldn’t be fair if I wore it alone!”

“Still, didn’t you adjust it to the point where you wouldn’t get seriously hurt?”

“Isn’t that how you adjusted it to the extent that you didn’t die?”

“Why is the man talking so much? Come on, let’s go!”

The demon king put his arm under my armpit and tried to force me up. I said, “That’s a sexist remark,” And stood up meekly. When I couldn’t walk properly yesterday due to aftereffects, the demon king put the books in my bag and tied the bag instead of me. Did. He even put my arm over his shoulder and almost supported me.

As I left the classroom and walked down the hallway, I heard a sound approaching from behind. The owner of that step approached right behind him and called out to the demon king in a voice.

“Hey, wait! Senior!”

“… Ha.”

The demon king let out a sigh openly enough for the hype a little away to hear. He supported me and only turned his head to look at the overlord.

“Something?”

It would be daunting if he openly hated it like that, but the exaggeration wasn’t like that at all. Instead, he gave a smile that seemed more refreshing than the one he had spoken to earlier.

“I heard that Sohee-senpai likes games, when would you like to go to a PC room with me? Ah! With Jiheon.”

The demon king now lowered his arm supporting me, and slowly walked right in front of the tower and asked.

“Do you think Jim will accept that now?”

“It can not?”

“Do you think Jim hasn’t seen a guy like you in all his life?”

“Seniors.”

Gwadae raised his hand and grabbed the demon king’s chin. He didn’t stop there and brought his face as if he were going to kiss him.

“Is this your first time seeing a guy like me?”

At this time, the demon king was looking back at me, so I couldn’t see her expression. All I could see was her swinging her own hand away from her oversized hand.

“Under! Fuck it, it’s fucking.”

It was the first time I witnessed the devil swearing. Judging from the way he spoke, he didn’t think he’d ever say anything harsh, but I didn’t expect him to curse so tightly. Exaggerated at the curse of the demon king, he showed a puzzled expression that he hadn’t seen in the lecture room. Faced with such a face, the Demon King did not stop his words.

“It’s good to have your face as a weapon, but weapons should be hidden if possible. Please don’t wield it your way. Because it sucks.”

The face of the demon king returning to me was cold and stiff. She put her arm on her shoulder again, and only turned her head to say to her ex.

“I will see you this time. But! If you ever touch Jim’s face again, then Jim won’t let you go.”

Saying that, I started walking down the hallway again. She knew it would end here, but the persistent hype bit from behind.

“Senior! Just tell me this! Are you two dating?”

I couldn’t see and shouted.

“Okay! Are you dating?”

The reason I couldn’t finish my words was because the demon king suddenly hit me on the side.

“Hey! Why do you hit me!”

“Why do you make things like that between Jim and you?”

I tried to help, but this reaction made me annoyed and shouted.

“Why am I such a girl hehe!”

I was hit with a stronger force than before.

“I hate that again!”

What are you talking about!

I was beaten yesterday, and the blow I had just gave me complete loss of strength in my leg. He walked down the hallway while relying on the Demon King, and suddenly became curious and looked back.

The lecture hall was going back to the classroom where it was before, and I saw Yuri standing at the door of the classroom. Yuri said something with a frown on her face, but it was hard to hear because she was at a distance. He said something to the chief with a bad face, but soon his face relaxed as if what the chief had said. The two entered the classroom holding hands.

“Look.”

Beside her, her demon king spoke to her and looked at her. Unlike usual, he had a serious expression, so I expected what he would say.

“Which man Yuri meets is none of my business. It’s what he chose.”

“… “

“And I already forgot everything. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“… Jim was just going to say where he was going.”

“Then speak quickly! But where are you going?”

“Come and see.”

Didn’t you say the same thing when you went to the kendo gym yesterday?

The place where I arrived after being supported by the demon king was the main gate of the school building. In accordance with the Disabled Persons Welfare Act, at the front gate with stairs and wheelchair ramps, an electric kickboard and an unknown owner

“Oh, no one took it either!”

… A rope with no owner

“The ropes are in place too!”

… There was.

By the time I got here, I could stand up with some strength in my legs. On such a day, Mawang stopped at the front door and picked up the rope placed next to his kickboard. He took the rope and slowly brought it to me and began to wrap it around my waist.

“You!”

While tying the rope, I looked down at the demon king, who had become as if he were hugging me. A glimpse of her flesh-colored scalp was visible through her silver hair. She turned her head away as her face grew hot from the scent it gave off. She asked, begging her not to hear my heartbeat.

“You, what, what are you doing?”

“Didn’t you block Jim’s attack in the sparring with Jim yesterday?”

The demon king put a rope around my waist and tied her knot, then it fell on me and began tying the other rope around his waist.

“Of course, the big physical difference between you in your past life and you now is the cause. So Jim thought.”

He also tied the rope and got on the electric kickboard.

“I’m going to raise your basic physical strength.”

“No, now, wait a minute.”

“Don’t worry. You and Jim are of one mind.”

The demon king pulled the rope and checked the rope connecting him and me.

“Ruler! We are leaving now!”

“Huh? Aaaaa!”

The demon king started speeding up the wheelchair ramp. I moved my aching leg as much as I could to avoid falling.

At this time, I didn’t know that there was a text message from Yuri on the smartphone in my pants pocket.

Yuri: Jiheonah

Yuri: Earlier, I heard that Hajun asked us to go to a PC cafe together in the hallway.

Yuri: Really?
