Chapter 429: She’s Still The Scariest (2)
It was a table made of metal.
It wasn’t a legendary-grade metal like Orichalcum or Mithril, but iron was still iron.
At the minimum, the raw material should be around heroic-grade or higher in terms of quality. It could certainly be used to create weapons. It was absurd to have made a table with this kind of material, but as I had seen the strength that crushed it barehanded, feelings of disconcerting and fear were intersecting.
‘Oh, that’s right. She’s that kind of person.’
Many people could easily cut metal or transform its shape using magic, but I could confirm that there were fewer than five people who could do it using simple force, even if I searched for them in the entire continent.
I couldn’t even sense any magic being generated. It meant that she had achieved such a feat purely with her fingers.
I looked at the scene with a disconcerted face for a moment, and upon being called by her familiar voice, I couldn’t be helped but be wary of her.
“What are you doing? Come quickly. It’s time to go home. Huh?”
“…”
“What are you doing, honey?”
“Nothing, nothing. I’m coming.”
There were no major changes in her expression. However, her subtly distorted face seemed to elaborate how bad Cha Hee-ra’s mood was.
The reason she didn’t explode was that she knew how embarrassing it would’ve been to get mad at something like that. Someone in her position should be able to cope with Jung Hayan’s childlike provocation.
If I thought about it, I had never seen Cha Hee-ra getting genuinely angry.
At best, she only gave out warnings when people, including Jung Hayan, bared their fangs at her.
In the end, she let those situations smoothly slip with a smile. After that, there would never be any topics raised about the incident.
She was forgiving and didn’t fret over the little details. She was the greatest human.
‘That probably means she’s holding a grudge…’
If she felt dissatisfied, she should’ve just said it out loud, and if she got upset, she should’ve just expressed it right away.
It wasn’t only me. Everyone else considered Cha Hee-ra to be such a person.
It suddenly started to amplify my anxiety to find out that she had something hidden inside.
Whether she knew of it or not, Jung Hayan was passing by the side of the redhead proudly with her victorious smile.
My back trembled, thinking that the angered beast might suddenly raise her hand to smash the insane wizard’s head. Truly, it was a catastrophe.
What was even scarier was that that might not be the worst ending.
‘I have to take care of this right away.’
She must be trying to deceive the others through her transparent guile, but it was only proper for me to take care of it.
After, I started to worry about Cha Hee-ra, even as I said goodbye to Lee Kiyoung’s personal corps, including Oscar, Marlin, and Catherine.
When Cho Hyejin climbed onto the griffon and gestured for me to climb behind her, I carefully chose my next words.
“I will ride with Cha Heera.”
“Yes, Vice Guild Master.”
It would be nice if she were a little disappointed, but Cho Hyejin started to nod with a bright face.
Rather, it was Jung Hayan who looked as if she was about to cry.
She looked at me with anxiety in her eyes as if she was telling me to think over my choice and that it wasn’t right, but I had no choice.

I had to drink the beverage the way it was brewed. This balance of power had to be maintained.
As soon as it tipped to one side, my body’s balance might also collapse.
It had to be perfectly balanced between right and left.
“Then, Master, I will visit Lindel immediately for the museum case.”
“Do that, Yuno.”
“I shall.”
After having a conversation away from prying ears, I sent Yuno Kasugano to Celia immediately.
Of course, I immediately moved towards the red-haired gal.
Her face was somewhat cold as she looked at me. She seemed to want to hit me, at least even once.
Of course, such an accident should not happen. If such a moment occurred, my head would burst open like tofu.
“What? Why should you go with the second option, huh?”
“No, it’s just. I have something to tell you….”
“Tell me what?”
“Well, rather than having something specific to say, it’s just that I can’t remember the last time I spent time with you. I don’t think it would be troublesome to enjoy a conversation on the griffon… So…”
“…”
“…”
“Get on.”
“…”
Naturally, I became even more careful. This situation was indeed dangerous.
Although I was worried about Jung Hayan’s future moves, it was only important to douse the place where the flames were burning first.
Just after the griffon carrying Jung Hayan, our Elf Princess, and Cho Hyejin soared into the sky, the griffon that we were riding began to slowly rise.
I smiled at the fan club whilst waving passionately from below, but it didn’t take long for the smile to disappear from my face.
‘Okay. It’s time to take care of this one too.’
Cha Hee-ra was Cha Hee-ra, and the Red Mercenaries are the Red Mercenaries.
She was still in the middle of the power structure and had a significant position within Lindel.
Even if I had become a bigger figure, she was not someone I could handle as I pleased.
Thinking about her loyalty to me since I first came in, I couldn’t just abandon her coldly.
No, if I tried to leave her in the first place, there was a strong possibility that my head would fall first.
Honestly, I couldn’t even imagine that Cha Hee-ra would react in this way.
‘She has an unexpectedly cute side.’
When I thought about her usual self, it was strange to see her moping around. Of course, I had to put such thoughts aside for the moment.
I had to think about how to lighten her up first.
‘What do I do?’
‘Think, Light Kiyoung.’

‘Don’t think about your pride.’
I recalled what Jung Hayan did when I showed that attitude. I had found the answer.
I wasn’t sure if it would work. No, I wasn’t sure if I could do it, but I just had to man up and do it with thick skin.
“You know I like you a lot, right?”
“…”
“And I’m grateful too… Honestly, it’s thanks to you that I came this far. You believed in me a lot when we first met.”
Aegyo.
Somehow, it felt like I had become the girlfriend trying to cheer up her boyfriend, but it seemed that that method was effective when employed on Cha Hee-ra.
That was because what she wanted wasn’t someone to lead her.
If she had been hoping for that in the first place, she wouldn’t have approached me. My voice was full of cuteness, which tickled her gently.
I rubbed my head on her back and moved my hand, holding her waist tightly around her stomach, locking my fingers, and gently stimulated her.
It didn’t suit me, but I did my best to be flirtatious in hopes of stimulating her senses.
If she were Cho Hyejin, she would have pushed me out of the griffon. Instead, her body kept flinching as if it had gotten affected by my unique characteristic.
‘Whoa. I bet I can even work at a host bar. I’m the best.’
Perhaps I did have a little talent. Somehow, she had begun to play along.
Was this how Diao Chan felt when he played with Lu Bu and Dong Zhou? Was this how Yang Guifei and Cleopatra felt when they played with the world?
It was disgusting even for me to do cosplay as if I had become such a guy, but her reaction was good, so I inevitably got excited.
‘The sex symbol, Lee Kiyoung!’
I was disgusted with myself.
“Don’t be mad, Hee-ra.”
“…”
“It was inevitable. And it was a simple gift I gave to cheer up Hayan because she was going through something difficult. You know that I like you a lot, right?”
“…”
“I like your red lips and red hair. I like your confidence. You’re not really angry, right? I’m the one who’s exaggerating, right?”
‘Why is she so quiet? Is she really that angry?’
“You know I can’t help it. I, of course, think that you are the first, but…”
‘Is she really mad?’
I could only see her back, so I didn’t know how she was reacting.
However, even after a long time, she was still in the same position, so my special move didn’t seem to work. In the end, I had no choice but to put my hand in the bag that Hyunsung bought.
‘Do I have a good ring?’
I had put various bribes in my bag in case Jung Hayan exploded, but I couldn’t get anything worth using.
As soon as I leaned in out of anxiety, I found a red ring with the same symbol as her that began to stand out.
After taking out her ring, I gently patted one of her arms.
She didn’t look back yet. But watching how she gently flipped one of her arms over to me, she didn’t seem to hate that kind of touch.

Of course, what I did from there on out was what truly mattered.
I felt like she couldn’t even imagine that I would put a ring on her.
I could see her body flinching a bit as if she felt the cold metal sliding down her finger. After putting it on her, she slowly pulled her arm back and looked at her hand, emitting some form of unknown excitement.
‘It’s time to deliver the final blow.’
I embraced her warmly.
“Cha Hee-ra, I love you. I really love you.”
I muttered words that were only half true.
Something unexpected happened right after that.
“Huh?”
The griffon, which was flying properly, suddenly deviated from the path.
The advance team, that was going first, didn’t notice it, but the griffon that had deviated from the route was falling at full speed.
‘What. What is this?’
I was nervous about whether or not I touched a nerve. However, I didn’t feel any hostility.
“H-Hee-ra?”
She didn’t answer. However, what I heard was the sound of breathing that continued to grow rougher.
‘Son of a…’
If there were a Griffon Race, this was a performance that would catch a trophy.
The griffon, which came down to the ground swiftly, entered a place I wasn’t aware of and started to fly continuously through a strange cave.
‘Where are we…?’
Perhaps we were in an abandoned dungeon.
I’m not sure if Cha Hee-ra even knew where we were going. All I could do then was to hold onto her tightly and endure the wind resistance.
When the griffon finally arrived at our unknown destination, I opened my tightly closed eyes and took a look around.
“Where are we?”
It was so dark that I couldn’t see anything.
“Light…”
As I carefully made light, I saw a really small dungeon-like space.
However, what stood out more than that was a beast staring right at me with red eyes.
She glared at me with bloodshot eyes.
“I didn’t mean to do this. But… you seduced me first.”
“Huh?”
“I said that you seduced me first.”
“Huuh?”
I felt pressure comparable to encountering the Ancient God from the Crack Museum.
My body was stiff, and I couldn’t move properly. All I could do was watch her slowly approach me.

I suddenly remembered Jin Qing’s last line.
‘There will come a time when the things you’ve done will eat you off.’
That bastard couldn’t have meant what was currently happening.
