Chapter 33 – Episode 33- Snow Woman, Yu Seol-Hee (3)

Although the result was expected to some extent, Yu Seol-hee rejected my proposal with a single stroke.

But I suggested it again and again.

“Let’s do it together.”

“No.”

Even when eating at a restaurant.

“Let’s go out together as a team.”

“I don’t like it, so go away.”

Even when our eyes meet in the hallway.

“Team members…”

“Go away.”

I persisted until the time of the funeral service, and now Seolhee Yoo shuddered just by looking at me.

As soon as her teacher finished her class, she hurriedly packed her bag and got up from her seat.

It was dismissal time, so when Seolhee Yoo headed to the door even though the children were crowded, she naturally gave way to a crowd.

The back of Yoo Seol-hee running away alone.

I watched it for a moment, then sighed and put the textbook into my bag.

Put all the things you brought into your bag, and let’s finish getting ready to leave school.

I felt someone’s eyes staring at me right next to me.

“Is it Miho?”

Miho was looking at me with her red eyes raised.

As if she didn’t like something, Miho, wagging her tail, told me.

“Han Jun-ah, why do you have to recruit him as a team member?”

Miho frowned and glared at the spot where Yu Seolhee was.

“No matter how kind you treat them, they just grumble… Really.”

When I heard that, it seemed that Miho was angry instead of me.

Until now, while I was talking to Yu Seol-hee, Mi-ho had been quietly watching me.

Until then, she seems to have had her reaction to Yu Seol-hee in mind.

“… So did I.”

“So, it’s just cheap… Han Jun-ah, what?”

I smiled bitterly and spoke to Miho again.

“I was like that in the past too.”

At my words, Miho pricked up his ears as if it were nonsense.

When Miho still made an expression of disbelief, Kim Cha-ryeok let out a hearty laugh and told the truth.

“Um…! It’s true. It’s not to that extent, but the old Hanjun was pretty picky.”

“What?! How could that be? Our Hanjunie, how…”

Miho blinks and looks at me.

Perhaps the bean pods were tightly covered, Miho couldn’t accept the old me even after listening to Kim Cha-ryeok’s words.

I nodded once and affirmed again.

“It’s true, at that time I just pushed everyone away. Fortunately, I met good people and got better right away… But then I must have looked like that too.”

“That… Huh?!”

With Miho widening his eyes, he doesn’t know what to do.

Miho twirled his triangular ears as if they were out of order, and swallowed his saliva.

“Well… Then, it’s not that there aren’t some slutshehe, it’s just average.”

I smiled at Miho’s thoughtful words.

Miho, who always tries to take my side, looks admirable, so I stroked Miho’s white hair.

Miho seemed to be in a good mood and twitched his head in line with my touch.

“Then Hanjun, are you trying to recruit that ice woman because you remembered the past?”

After Kim Cha-ryeok finished preparing to leave school, he asked me.

After pondering the question in my mind for a while, I answered.

“Because there are good people on this side. So, if you come here, wouldn’t Seolhee Yoo be okay as soon as I did?”

I glanced at Kim Cha-ryeok, Mi-ho, and Darae.

Kim Cha-ryeok showed his dry teeth and smiled.

Miho waggled at my words and grabbed my arm.

Darae scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed.

Looking at everyone’s moving expressions, I felt remorse.

In fact, there are some meanings like that, but the biggest reason I approached Seolhee Yoo was to seduce her.

“Hmm…! I don’t feel the resonance of the soul as much as you, Hanjun, but I’ll do my best to recruit that woman too.”

“I’ll try to be friendly too, Han Jun-ah.”

“I will do my best too.”

Everyone who had warmed up before they knew it looked at me with warm eyes.

Having suddenly gained everyone’s support, I tried my best to smile as warmly as I could, even though I was taken aback.

“Okay, thanks everyone.”

In the end, I succeeded in gaining everyone’s support by uttering the lines that a boy’s manga hero would do.

After leaving school, I returned to the dormitory and called Kim Ji-hye.

After the call rang a few times, I heard a signal that it was connected quickly, and then I heard Kim Ji-hye’s voice.

“Why.”

“Oh, are you busy right now?”

When I questioned that blunt voice, Kim Ji-hye told me.

“Even if you’re busy, tell me quickly because your work comes first.”

“Ah, yes.”

I started to tell Kim Ji-hye what had happened.

Seol-nyeo and Yoo Seol-hee met.

Recruiting a team member during midterm exams.

Lastly, she is working hard to welcome Snow Woman into her team.

As I poured out all the stories step by step, Kim Ji-hye silently praised me.

“Good job. If that doesn’t work, sneak up on Yu Seol-hee and untie her necklace.”

“…If that doesn’t work out, I’ll use it last.”

“Yeah, if it’s your personality in the first place, there’s no way to do it. Just keep working hard as you are now.”

A ticking sound came through the phone.

Trigger of witchcraft.

It is Jihye Kim’s habit of smoking a cigarette and tickling her fingers.

Silence came for a while, and as I listened to the sound, an idea came to my mind.

“Oh, and there you are.”

“What.”

I glanced around the room.

Just in time, Darae went out somewhere, but I couldn’t see it.

Only then did I ask Kim Ji-hye a question.

“The sword demon clan. Is there anything unusual about it?”

I remembered the awkward expression that Miho had seen for a very short time this morning.

Not only Miho, but looking at the atmosphere in the class, the kids were clearly reluctant to Darae.

It was different from Yoo Seol-hee.

If it feels like she, who flutters a white aura around, is afraid of her children and avoids them.

Darae seemed to be caught on something, and they were embarrassed.

“There is something peculiar about it.”

Jihye Kim told me.

As expected, it seemed that some fact related to the clan was hidden.

While I was quietly listening, Kim Ji-hye continued.

“I told you the other day that there are shaman love monsters that are fucking shit after the war. One of the monsters that is particularly fucking crazy is the eldest daughter of the Sword Demon clan.”

“… Yes?”

“But don’t worry. I’ve met the guy in your dorm before, but there’s nothing wrong with him.”

“I know that too. Is Darae’s older sister the same as the monster I met before?”

Shadow devil.

Let’s think about the monster that looks like a human but covets humans.

Kim Ji-hye responded by clicking her tongue.

“No, more damn. That bastard has no reason, but she’s damn smart.”

The sound of cigarettes being crushed is heard.

The image of Kim Ji-hye frowning at her came to mind.

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that half of what’s happening is because of that bitch. We have to kill her quickly.”

“Those things are… What kind of things are they?”

Kim Ji-hye was silent for a moment at my words.

“It’s what you think, so don’t ask me in detail.”

A low bluffing voice.

She was blunt but always considerate of me, so she was somewhat able to guess the scope of those things.

I couldn’t say anything at that, so Kim Ji-hye silently gave an explanation.

“Without trying to get into too much detail, let me just say a few more things about the Sword Demon clan… The Sword Demon family has a swordsmanship that is the opposite of the one-handed sword method inherited only by the legitimate ones you asked about earlier.”

“… Yes.”

“The moonlight sword method that is inherited only by the daughter. You just need to know that the eldest daughter of the sword demon clan is doing shit by using that moonlight sword method now.”

After her explanation, Kim Ji-hye asked me if she had any more questions.

When she replied thanking her for answering so far, Kim Ji-hye coolly said ‘yes’ and hung up on her.

Naturally, left alone in the room, I silently reflected on what I had just heard.

“What happened?”

Then, Darae opened the door and came in.

When Darae saw me lost in thought, he tilted his head.

“No, nothing.”

Putting my phone in my pocket, I answered Darae.

Trying to ignore as much as possible what I just heard.

* *

The next day, when I arrived at school, I persistently made an offer to Yu Seol-hee.

This time, of course, Seolhee Yoo rejected my offer.

Not only me, but Miho, Kim Cha-ryeok, and even Darae, who were next to me, were suggested, and I was taken aback.

“What…? Go away.”

Seolhee Yoo started avoiding us, perhaps because she was scared of us, who smiled and rushed at us even though we sent cold eyes.

However, as the proposal was repeated several times, Yu Seol-hee came to ignore it altogether.

The classmates looked at us from the side of their eyes, wondering if we looked like lunatics clinging to Yu Seol-hee.

That’s how we made suggestions to Yu Seol-hee for several days.

The persistent demand that lasted until Friday probably angered Yu Seol-hee, and she threw a pencil case at me.

But that wasn’t me.

I snatched the pencil case and politely put it on Yu Seol-hee’s desk.

Yu Seol-hee glared at me with contempt, then gave up and buried her head in her desk.

“Han Jun-ah, will it be okay this way?”

Miho whispered in my ear.

“… I guess I’ll need another method.”

If I had made any progress, I would have continued to try.

Now, this method only angered Seolhee Yoo, and it seemed difficult to recruit her into our team.

In the middle of the class, thinking about various ways, the teacher suddenly gathered us all out of the classroom, saying it was time for ‘practice’.

I, who didn’t know anything, was confused and chased after the teacher who was heading somewhere.

The place where our class arrived was a dome-shaped building.

When I saw this building with the spectator seats piled up like stairs and a structure with a hole in the middle, I naturally thought of the stadium.

And if my thoughts were not wrong, the teacher told us.

“Now, today is sparring time. Witchcraft and witchcraft, constitution and witchcraft, witchcraft and constitution. It’s an opportunity to compete with your special skills and improve your skills. Everyone, use this opportunity to prepare for the upcoming midterm exams.”

The teacher glanced back at me, and she went on to explain.

“For your information, the opponents for Dalian are randomly selected, and tolerable damage is blocked by the ‘Absorption Department’ distributed by the academy, so don’t worry.”

Looking at the other kids nodding their heads, it seemed that this sparring was a practice activity that had been happening before.

There was no doubt that he added an explanation to show consideration for me and Kim Cha-ryeok.

As I waited with a pounding heart to see who would be chosen as my sparring opponent, the teacher brought a pad and she grinned.

“Okay, then I’ll pick it up.”

I expected to organize a group with witchcraft or witchcraft, but science was great.

In an instant, with a single finger, the sparring opponent was torn apart, and soon after, I found a box with my name written on it.

“… Uh?”

Surprisingly, the name of the person sitting next to me was Yu Seol-hee.

I wonder if there is such a coincidence, because I am surprised. Someone came up to me

“Hey.”

Yoo Seol-hee, who was designated as my opponent.

She, who had been avoiding me until now, approached me first and spoke to her.

“This sparring, because you can abstain as soon as it starts. Abstain.”

I looked at Yu Seol-hee without saying anything.

Seolhee Yoo then bit her lip, and she warned me.

“That Absorption Club, it doesn’t work on my music. Until now, all the other kids have also withdrawn, so don’t get hurt and abstain as soon as it starts.”

Yu Seol-hee glared at me as if asking if she understood.

I still didn’t answer and looked at Yu Seol-hee.

Then, suddenly, a good idea came to my mind and I said to Yu Seol-hee.

“Nope.”

“What…?”

“I don’t like it, you ignored my offer too until now.”

Yu Seol-hee refuted me as if she was full of energy.

“Is this the same as that? If you don’t, you could get seriously hurt…”

“I know, and I beat you.”

He spoke to Yu Seol-hee clearly and confidently.

Yoo Seol-hee was dumbfounded and even let out a sigh.

So I spit out one more time.

“Don’t worry, I’ll beat you.”

“Are you really crazy? From what I hear, you don’t seem to have learned much about witchcraft since you came from the human world. Are you saying you’re over me?”

Yu Seol-hee’s voice was raised, as if she was intensified.

I waited for her to be excited, so I gave her one suggestion.

“Then do you want to bet? You will win or I will win.”

With a grin, I pointed at Yu Seol-hee with my finger.

“If you win, I’ll apologize for everything I’ve stuck with until now and I won’t stick with you in the future. Instead…”

This time he pointed a finger at me and said.

“If I win, join my team during the midterm.”

Yu Seol-hee pondered over my words for a moment, then glanced at me and answered.

“… Yes, you brought it all on yourself. Don’t regret it later.”

Once again, Yu Seol-hee walked away from me.

As she watched her back as she walked away, I thought.

The plate was laid.

So, all I have to do now is win.
