Chapter 827: The Last (60)

The hall had become confused by the unexpected situation.

It was a little embarrassing and sudden even to me, but it wasn't all that bad.

'The air is different.'

It wasn't that the air above was bad. It was convenient not only to be filled with divinity but also to have a body that didn't need sleep. However, I definitely felt happy here.

"Waaaaaah… ugh… waaaah… hic… hic…"

Hayan was crying while hugging me to the point that she couldn't even properly control her body.

She pretended to be okay and swore she could go up anyway, but she had to have been more worried as time passed.

When she looked at me, she became unable to hold back the tears that were falling.

"Waaah… waaaaah…"

As she buried her face in my body, she constantly made noises, making it embarrassing to take any other action. All I could do was stroke her hair or her back.

"Ugh… waaahh… oppa… ugh… ugh…"

Han Sora tried to calm her down, seemingly bewildered by how Hayan was crying out so loud, but she couldn't seem to do it right.

"Jung Hayan? Jung… Hayan? Jung Hayan?"

"It's fine, Sora."

"Ah… Vice Guild Master? Are you really the Vice Guild Master?"

I slowly nodded, and she looked like she understood just now. As she saw that Hayan continued to mumble to herself incomprehensibly, I could tell she was greatly relieved.

She probably knew that Jung Hayan wasn't just acting since it was in the middle of the game.

'I don't think Hayan will calm down easily.'

"So… waaah… ugh… ugh… hic…"

She was talking while shedding tears and with a runny nose. Her emotions were so intense that I couldn't really understand what she was saying.

I nodded and confirmed.

As I spoke as sweetly as I could, she once again buried her face in my chest and cried again.

I continued to stroke her back. She seemed to have calmed down a bit, considering she squeezed her body into the chair as much as she could.

It was a sight to see her straightening herself and looking at me. She had come to her senses.

She stared at Cho Hyejin as if something bothered her, and she nodded slightly and started repeating the same actions as before.

I didn't know exactly what the action was, but it felt like she was thinking about whether she could interpret the Lee Kiyoung, who came into Cho Hyejin's body, as her own Lee Kiyoung.

Although there was some regret, there was an agreement in her heart, and she had concluded that this was really Lee Kiyoung.

She looked delighted even though she continued to cry. It definitely made me feel better.

After seeing Han Sora and me, she was showing the happiest expression in the world.

It was a slightly different form, but since the picture Jung Hayan had been drawing in her head was temporarily completed, she probably thought she had the whole world.

Park Deokgu was no different.

I could guarantee that he was itching to hug me tight right away.

"Are you really hyung-nim… sniff…"

"…"

"Are you really him? Really…"

It was uncomfortable to see the big pig rubbing his face with his huge arms and sobbing.

"Just get me some coffee."

In the meantime, while faithfully fulfilling my request, he came to my seat holding the coffee with a large shaking hand.

It seemed that half of the coffee was spilled on the tray, but the taste wasn't bad.

He was going back and forth as if he didn't know what to do. He bent his back as soon as I reached out.

I could see him trembling violently as I brushed his hair once. His tears were dripping down the floor.

"Ugh…"

He was the exact same as Cho Hyejin. Although it was a bit different, he looked very relieved to see that I was acting the same as I did from the past, unlike before when I acted as if I was constantly drawing a line.

He was as happy as much as he was freed from the anxiety that I would keep moving away like this or that I might no longer be the Lee Kiyoung they knew.

"U-Um… you could have told us you were doing well… once in a while…"

"You can see I'm fine now. I have many things to tell you, but we don't have time. One more cup of coffee, Deokgu. It seems tastier now that I'm drinking it after such a long time."

"Well, I did practice!"

I laughed. He was talking loudly in an attempt to hide his embarrassment. In the meantime, looking at Jin Qing, who gave us time to sort things out, I laughed once more.

'Such a good-mannered guy.'

A friendly villain who waited while the main characters enjoyed their long-awaited reunion.

I didn't know if he realized that his turn wouldn't come just because he came and shouted or if he needed time to sort out his emotions, but I could see him looking at me with all kinds of emotions.

He had a distorted expression and was grinding his teeth. It looked like he wanted to run at me right away and strangle me.

He seemed to be trying to calm himself down after yelling until now, but when I sent a smirk once again, I could see his body moving.

—This motherfucker… son of a bitch!!! You son of a bitch!!!

'He can't control his emotions. I don't think he was always like this… I'm sure this is a real anger management disorder.'

It wasn't the selective anger management disorder that normal humans had. Seeing him reaching the point where he couldn't control his emotions at will made me laugh a little.

I wondered if my gentle personality was a bit twisted, so what more did I need to say?

Seeing these guys, who were always calm and rational, getting excited just looking at my face and going crazy, made me feel like their hearts were throbbing and ringing deep inside.

That face certainly seemed to be a source of vitality for me.

—You mean motherfucker!! You scumbag!!! You dirty and ugly cheater bastard!!

He was the guy who was trying to hide in the first place. I couldn't understand why he was trying to do that, but it's funny to see him imitating the NPC that was created, revealing himself blatantly.

I was skeptical, but now I thought I understood.

I didn't know exactly how he got to this place, but it was true that Jin Qing, who was in front of me right now, remembered what happened in the past.

Perhaps it was the guy himself.

"What are you so angered about, commander? As an intelligent person, shouldn't we be able to calmly talk about it?"

—Lee Kiyoung… Lee Kiyoooung!!

"Weren't we on good terms? Anyone who sees you would think we ended things badly. P-Pfff…"

—What? What? How dare you say that bullsh*t!! How can you talk like that!! How dare you!!! How!!

"You seem to be overly angered, commander. It's been a long time since we've met. I'd like to catch up on things and talk about things we haven't finished talking about. Oh! How about having a cup of coffee? Deokgu. Give one to him. P… Pfff…"

—You… you…

"Oh, I have to apologize. To be honest, I also made a mistake. But it's not without excuses. I did my best in my own way, but what would you do with the mess you made? I also wanted to follow your will as much as possible, but the situation was not… Fu… hehehe… was not easy. I mean those demon gang bastards. Your… Puhahehehe!"

—Lee Kiyoouuung!

"Puhehehahehehahe! Cough! Puhehaheheh! Cough! Cough! Puhahaheheheheh!"

—Lee Kiyoung, you bastard!!!!

He jumped up from his seat and reached out his hand, but the system didn't allow it. He huffed in the air.

He seemed to have lost his reason to the point that if he had maintained a perfect body now, his blood pressure would burst, and he would die.

I thought it might not work with Hyejin's face… It was fortunate to be able to put my expression on her face.

Where else could I see such a magnificent view?

"commander, is that a created body, or are you a ghost? Whatever it is, being too angered is not good for your health. Where is the demon summoner I met before? Shouldn't you always show your reason and lead the Republic with a charismatic figure?"

—…

"The current you is too shameful. Pfff! It's too shameful. It's so shameful it makes me laugh. Isn't that behavior too shameful to be showing to a once former enemy?"

—…

'Ah, fuck… I must have gone too far.'

I should've stopped at the first verse.

I wanted him to be a little more angered if possible, so I kept sending sneering faces, but when I went beyond verse 1 to verse 3 and verse 4, it seemed that he had regained his reason.

The fact that I continued to provoke him, wanting to see him go crazy, had become a source of trouble.

He held his breath like he was trying not to see my face as much as possible. He even avoided my gaze. I thought that if he looked at the smile on my face once again, he would show the same behavior as before.

—Scumbag.

'You went back to the way you were.'

Jin Qing crossed his legs and raised the tip of his chin.

I fiddled with the status board with my middle finger and handed him the coffee with an exaggerated gesture, but he took the coffee with a casual face and drank it with dignity as usual.

I was annoyed because it seemed like he was trying not to be angered like just before, but what about it?

—Don't think I'll get caught in your cheap psychological warfare, you dirty cheater.

"It seemed like you got pretty swept away just now… I think you've regained reason, though."

'Ah, fuck, if this were my face, the effect would have been better.'

—Rather, I think it turned out well. You have to come out like this.

"Isn't it obvious what you are thinking? You could pay off the debt at that time, or that you would crush me. Isn't it obvious what the villains of the old times' thought? We need to pursue a new direction in which everyone can get a win-win."

—Rather, I'm pretty sure I know what you're thinking. You are anxious now.

"Why should I be anxious?"

—You know well you can't beat me. It was funny how you looked doing useless provocations or exaggerated gestures.

"What about you?"

—I'm saying that your veneer comes from your low self-esteem, rat bastard. The way you play like an actor on stage is like a frightened animal inflating its size. Poor and pitiful bastard.

"I don't know who is pitying whom. Whom do you think is the real pitiful person? Aren't you the one who lost your honor? Or is it me, revered as the god of the continent?"

—How you are feeling right now is what matters. That's funny. As you said, even while you are the god of the continent, you feel inferior to me. I don't know if it was congenital or acquired, but…

"You're out of your mind, bastard."

—Now it's a face worth seeing.

"You're talking too much."

—Those who have a lot to lose feel insecure about even the smallest things.

"Don't you remember? How did the Republic War end? You stupid monkey bastard. Even now, you have nothing to say."

—It was a mistake, and I admit that I lost then. But I think it will be different this time…

"Different, my ass… bastard. You seem to have forgotten that you were just fooled. In my eyes, you're the one that looks like a frightened beast with an inflated size. Fuck. Anyone can see I have the advantage. Enough with the bluffing."

—Don't think that everyone will grow as big as you.

"Gosh. Right. I got it, commander. Let's see how far our great commander's overflowing wisdom and tactics work. What do you think I will do?"

—…

"Speak, commander. Say it with that cheeky mouth. What do you think I will do?"

I could see the man biting his lips.

'Actually, I don't even know what I'm going to do.'

So it was only natural that he didn't know.

—Son of a bitch…

However, he and I… We knew this one thing.

'Pace matters.'

The most important thing was who would lead the pace.

"Well, what would a demon summoner with no honor know, right, Hayan?"

"Yeah… Yeah! What does an honorless demon summoner k-know? Hehehe…"

"Am I right, Sora?"

"Ah… Yeah… the Demon Summoner… doesn't…"

I was desperately trying to calm my heart, but without realizing it, my face was distorted.

"Hey, what would a demon summoner know?"

It hurt more when one attacked with a group than when they do so alone.

'How…'

—…

'How can someone who doesn't have colleagues and family dare mess with me?'
