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.]
