Chapter 106: Messing Up Is A Hero's Basic Skill (4)
After briefly conversing with my guts.
I sorted out the repertoire of conversations in my mind and dialed the number with resolve.
I didn’t think it would be as easy as it was with Baek Seol-hee. In the worst-case scenario, I might make Yumir my enemy.
But the chief’s command was absolute, and I must follow it.
If the chief had set the direction, then it was the right way, and I must ensure that this path did not get ruined because of me.
“That’s right. If everything gets ruined, I can just move as the Goblin of Yi Maemangnyang after burying Do Ji-hwan.”
The library’s books could be turned into my private collection after I conquered Sejong Island. I might not be able to see it immediately, but it would be mine someday in the future.
Therefore...
Even if my relationship with Yumir worsened or was severed, I dared to ‘challenge’.
Brring.
“Hello? Is this Student Yumir?”
[Hello, teacher? It seems you’ve been pretty busy last night?]
Yumir jabbed at me from the start.
[I didn’t know you were so busy, teacher. Hehe.]
“What do you mean?”
[I wonder. What could I mean? Why are you calling now when a lovely female college student texted you last night? Right?]
“I was busy with patriotism.”
[.......]The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
This time, I was taken aback.
[Oh, um. Well, patriotism, I guess? Haha. I saw the news about Gangwon-do, and it’s quite a mess....]
“I did.”
When she didn’t understand my beating around the bush, I directly said it.
[Uh, um, what...?]
“I said I did it (※beep) with my wife.”
[...Wife?]
Yumir’s voice fell silent.
“...I see.”
[Um, what do you mean... You have a wife?]
“Yes.”
[Did you ever mention that?]
“I don’t think I’ve mentioned it to you?”
To clarify one thing!
I told Baek Seol-hee that I was married, but I had not yet told Yumir that I was married. Instead, I made a joke about the type of woman I would like to marry, and Yumir believed I was still single.
[Are you married, teacher?]
“Yes. We’re a couple.”
[......Hmm.]
Yumir didn’t say anything.
I waited a moment for her to speak, and soon, I felt a slight chuckle mixed in Yumir’s voice.
[A person I know said that all men are wolves.]
That was what the Goblin said.
[Teacher, did you, despite being married, flirt with a fresh college girl?]
“Yes.”
[Yes? Wow, are you admitting it?]
“Yes.”
Since I had decided to walk the path of a scoundrel, I might as well be a proud one.
“Are you disillusioned?”
[It’s not just disillusionment; I feel like I’m about to turn into a devil.]
“Don’t go too far. What if you go to the Goblin?”
[I feel like I could half-kill the Goblin by cuddling up right now?]
“So you’re saying you’ll spare half?”
[Wow. Annoying. I might just kill it.]
Despite the terrifying words pouring out, I felt my heart pounding with the realization that everything was going according to plan.
[Wow, what is this person? Is this that thing I’ve heard of... Haa. Seriously, you make me say things I don’t even want to say! Really!!]
As if I couldn’t help but love such a person, I spat out words like a machine gun to prevent Yumir from thinking deeply.
“I’m sorry if it was unpleasant.”
[...Ah, is this some kind of code language? Your side’s code language?]
“Your side?”
[Why...! Something different to express during the recruitment process... Ah, no. Ah, really...!]
There was a sound as if she was patting her chest, a thumping noise.
[Company... Ah, no. I misspoke. Ha, haha. The weather is quite bright, but the phone conversation is like a slum. Ew.]
She might be hitting her chest out of frustration, and that sound seemed to come through the phone.
[May I ask a question? Why did you suddenly spill it? Did your wife tell you to do so?]
“Uh.”
[Fact.]
“My wife said so. She asked me to reveal to Student Yumir that I’m a married man. Even after revealing it, she asked me to act the same.”
[Isn’t that like setting the stage for a divorce? It seems like she would get angry if you were unfaithful?]
“She even said if we ended up dating, she’d like me to send her the photos we took together.”
[...I feel like all the common sense I’ve built up over my life is collapsing.]
Yes.
That was it, Yumir.
The beginning of the process of becoming a villain was the collapse of common sense.
[Sigh. Fine. Okay. I got it. Hmm, it’s difficult to understand, but let’s assume it’s true. So, why did you choose me? Did your wife ask you to seduce me?]
“No.”
That was not it.
“I approached you because you’re Yumir. Because you’re Yumir.”
[Why?]
“If a pretty college girl with a good body throws herself at me, it’s not human not to fall for her.”
[... You’re crazy.]
She spat out an insult, but there was a hint of laughter mixed in.
[Okay, I get that. I understand up to that point. So... professor.]
Yumir’s voice fell again.
[You approached me because you wanted me, and you still want me now, right?]
“Yes.”
[What do you mean by that?]
“That’s for Student Yumir to decide.”
Whether she wanted to join as a newcomer at Gyeolsa to meet me as the Goblin.
Or whether she wanted to meet Do Ji-Hwan as a woman.
“What does Student Yumir think is the answer?”
[Why do I have to be the one to answer in this situation?]
“Because depending on Student Yumir’s answer, the way I treat you in the future will also change.”
[......]
Yumir didn’t answer.
She seemed to need some time, and I began to get impatient.
I shouldn’t give her time.
If I gave her time, Yumir was the type to turn into a villain and shoot a meteor.
Rather than the whole earth, it would be aimed at my head.
[Alright. Ha, hahaha. I feel like I’m going crazy listening to all this nonsense. But... do you know?]
“What?”
[I don’t know how well you know NTR, but most NTR works...]
Yumir, with a hint of growling anger, let out a laugh and continued.
[Most of them, after coming to the Golden Sun, become bodies that can’t live without the Golden Sun.]
“...Oh?”
Ah.
[Let’s continue flirting. Let’s see. Let’s see how far we can go. Let’s see who wins. I’m excited. I’m not an ordinary woman, either. And...]
Was this really happening?
[I am, after all, good at taking things away.]
