CH 294

“Ice Spi-”

“Ah! Wait! -wait! I-It’s me! Ha Leeha!”

Ram Hwayeon, who was lying on the bed and looking at documents, screamed, while Ram Hwajeong, who was sitting on the sofa and fiddling with ice cubes, immediately started casting.

That was the first location stored in the crystal ball held by Ha Leeha.

[Hwajeong’s Favorite Place]

1. Sister’s house – it’s warm and fluffy, so I feel good.

And it was also the part that showed how ignorant Leeha was about women’s relationships. How dare he break into a woman’s house mercilessly. If Kijeong had known, he would have poured out fierce criticism toward Leeha.

(I think anyone would be upset if someone broke in lol)

“-Oppa.”

“Ha…… Ha Leeha? How did you get here?”

When they found out that it was Leeha, Ram Hwajeong stopped casting, but the Ram sisters were still absent-minded.

“Ah, what a surprise! Didn’t you ask me to come?! That’s why I came right away!”

Leeha replied while holding his chest in surprise.

Ram Hwayeon wanted to know how he came, but she couldn’t afford to say anything right away either. “Uhh…… no, that…… the place you can come right away……. The lock-”

“The house is nice. As expected of the master of Hwahong Guild, your house in Middle Earth is no joke. Kijeong’s safe house is so shabby that it’s all about to collapse. Ah, is this private property? Do you have any special buffs when you are here?”

Ram Hwayeon opened her mouth, but her mosquito-like voice did not reach Leeha’s ears. Leeha admired Middle Earth’s Housing System, which he had experienced for the first time in his life.

“Can I change clothes? Because Leeha only saw her in combative clothes, now that he saw her in those clothes, his words were swallowed into his throat. His expression, which had been inspecting the house with curious eyes, gradually hardened.

It was because of their clothes that he realized an obvious fact. Ram Hwajeong and Ram Hwajeong weren’t wearing the clothes they usually wore.

They were even barefoot while wearing sky-blue one-piece pajamas!

In the meantime, after a couple of ‘color matching’, the toes of Ram Hwayeon with a red pedicure, and Ram Hwajeong with a blue pedicure were wiggling.

‘Uwaaaaa, c-come to think of it, isn’t this a house and not a safe house?! It wasn’t Castle Dale’s office, but a family home, so to speak! And there were two women!’

Leeha looked at Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong and turned his head. After talking about it, I realized the seriousness of the situation a little.

It was a place that was no different from a few places the two women who cannot properly rest in reality, and a secret base where they can lie down in comfortable clothes that cannot be worn in reality. Leeha had intruded into that forbidden space.

“Ahh……. Dress.”

Compared to Ram Hwayeon, who was still staring at Leeha, Ram Hwajeong felt shame at first. The blue-haired girl, with her face flushed red, walked quickly into the dressing room. Her head lowered, and her long, straight blue hair covered her entire face.

“Cough, that…… over there, what is it? Ram Hwayeon-ssi? That, Should…… I-  go out?”

Leeha’s attitude was bound to abate in his sorry, embarrassed, and ungentlemanly behavior. Leeha forcibly averted his eyes, even using honorifics toward Ram Hwayeon.

“Ah, no, that…… how did you-wait- me too- change clothes…”

Ram Hwayeon could not behave as usual.

How did he get here? She didn’t go crazy! She could not speak properly, her usual temper, was nowhere to be found.

Seeing Leeha lowering his head, she got more embarrassed than her younger sister, Ram Hwajeong.

It wasn’t until 10 minutes later that the two of them, who had turned their backs in awkward pose for a while, finally calmed down.

“Aren’t you crazy? If I report you to the Dale Knights, you’ll be detained right away! It’s trespassing! Huh?! Having a stake in Castle Dale and having the right to enter my house are two completely different things!”

“But…… I, I already said sorry……. right before. 10 times.”

“Still! You, I was really surprised. How did you get in? Did you learn the Lockpick skill? But it’s protected by magic, so you shouldn’t have been able to pick it!”

“That, that-”

Even if he was treated as a criminal, Leeha had nothing to say.

When Leeha raised his head, Ram Hwajeong, who was standing behind Ram Hwayeon, shook her head desperately. Her eyes desperately pleaded Leeha to keep it a secret and not tell Ram Hwayeon why!

Leeha was able to get in because it was stored in the crystal ball he received from Ram Hwajeong. If he said that, Ram Hwayeon might not only end up hating him but also Ram Hwajeong.

If he didn’t say that, he had no other excuse…….

Leeha would really die.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have just shut up and waited in Castle Dale! If I chatted with Jacheong, time would have passed quickly!’

To save time and surprise them, he went to Ram Hwayeon’s location, and he vainly ended getting into this mess! Fortunately, Ram Hwayeon’s fiery personality was easily extinguised.

“If you wanted to come, you should have told me in advance and I would have invited you.”

“What?”

“Cough, nothing! Anyway! N-next time, at least tell me in advance.”

“What?”

Isn’t it stored in the crystal ball? Give it to me right now or reset the crystal ball!! Leeha thought that was what would happen, but what’s going on? When Leeha tilted his head, Ram Hwayeon stood up and turned her back.

“The money- where is it.”

Looking at Ram Hwayeon’s back, who was rummaging thoroughly through the drawers, Leeha met Ram Hwajeong’s eyes. The little lady nodded her head very slightly, wanting to say thank you. When Leeha smiled at her, Ram Hwajeong turned her head away.

‘Didn’t you just say thank you? Why are you suddenly turning your head like you’re in a bad mood?’

It was times like this when Byeolcho’s Kijeong and Biyemi should have stepped up, but it was unfortunate for Leeha that they were not there. Ram Hwayeon sighed as she wrote the settlement check and handed it to Leeha.

“here’s a limit to what I take care of you, so come and take care of it often. You have to take care food.”

“Ah, ah. Yes. That’s right. Thanks.”

“Heung, I guess you lost interest in Castle Dale now that you will be taking the rewards alone.”

“How could that be? But what do you mean, a reward monopoly?”

“Didn’t you hear?”

Ram Hwayeon asked in surprise.

It was the first time Leeha heard it. He checked the reward announcement, but it was already a few days ago in Middle Earth. After that, he only did quests in the northernmost part of the Shazrasian Federation, in an uninhabited place, so he hadn’t heard it.

“Haa, oh my goodness. If you have connections in the palace, you should know how to use them! Anyway I wonder how you got the number 1 contribution. That- didn’t Shin Nara tell you?”

Ram Hwayeon subtly mentioned Shin Nara.

Of course, it was not that he did not have any contact with Shin Nara. However, apart from congratulating him, they didn’t have any conversation.

‘She said she was busy, and Nara-ssi treated me quite coldly.’ 

The last news he heard is that the Sacred Knights were being mobilized more often, such as dealing with the post-war situation in the capital and escorting officials to negotiate a peace treaty…

“I haven’t heard anything about the reward.”

“So you’re saying you heard something different, huh. Anyway! You should be receiving quite a few things this time. According to rumors…”

“According to rumors?”

“It’s literally a rumor, but it should be something that will make your stake in Castle Dale feel unimportant.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I won’t say anything because you will resent me if you get something different from what you’re expecting. Anyway, pray for the peace treaty negotiations between Fibiel and Minis to go well.”

Ram Hwayeon put on a faint smile while making a strange expression.

It didn’t seem to be a bad thing for Leeha, but she didn’t tell what it was, so he got curious.

“That’s boring. Anyway, I am always grateful for the settlement money. Anything else? I must go now.”

When Leeha got up from his seat, Ram Hwajeong, who had been hiding behind Ram Hwayeon, poked out her head.

“Come play again, oppa.”

“Oh. Okay. I think I would die when I come like this again……. If you invite me, I will come again.”

“Yes, tell me when you want to come. I will invite you anytime.”

To come or not to come.

“Okay, okay. I will go now!”

“Ha- Ha Leeha!”

Ram Hwayeon’s attitude made Leeha smile and as he lifted the crystal ball. Ram Hwayeon called him.

“Huh?”

Ram Hwayeon called out to Leeha, but Ram Hwajeong, who was beside her, had her eyes shining somehow. The Ram sisters hesitated for a while.

“Why? Tell me.”

“That…… I think I will go to Korea soon for some business.”

“Okay? Uh, the weather in Korea is fine this days.”

“I’m not talking about the weather!”

“Oh? Then?”

What was she talking about? Raising her voice, Ram Hwayeon only glanced at Leeha, avoiding eye contact.

“When go there, I think I will have a bit of time I just- want you to introduce me to a Korean restaurant. It won’t be long before we can go out without bodyguards, but you’re Korean anyway!”

“Korean…… that’s a person though.”

What does it have to do with it? Leeha pondered for a while between being a Korean and his duty to introduce Korean restaurant to Ram Hwayeon.

“Well, okay. I understand. I will search the internet and pull out a list-“

“Internet? Let’s meet and introduce ourselves! ! Because she is expecting it, Ram Hwajeong sleeps late at night-”

“N-No.”

“-Heup,heup!”

Ram Hwajeong quickly covered Ram Hwayeon’s mouth.

While the sisters were doing a skit, the word ‘promised meal’ suddenly passed through Leeha’s head.

Only then did Leeha realize. A fact that he had to do no matter how hard it was. He had a dinner appointment.

With a woman even!

Leeha finally realized the reason Shin Nara’s cold whisper and indifferent attitude.

‘Oops, we were supposed to eat together after the war! 2-on-2!’

He completely forgot about it and didn’t even mention it, so she couldn’t help but pout! Leeha suddenly felt his head pounding.

“What are you doing? Are you okay?”

“Oh, ah, well-”

“Okay- no, cough, anyway, I’ll tell you when the schedule is finalized, so select a place that has good food.”

Leeha made the mistake of not answering because she thought of Shin Nara for a moment.

Ram Hwayeon took it as a sign of approval and had already nodded her head. On top of that, Ram Hwajeong looked at Leeha with a smiling face and a bright smile…….
