Chapter 290: Is This A Joke?

Chapter 290: Is This A Joke?

'Something surely happened while no one was looking, But it seems we didn't lose, so it is fine,' Nam-woon was curious about what happened but didn't pursue it since it wouldn't help him in getting stronger.

[Some Constellations are laughing at Incarnation 'Cheol In-Ho'.]

[400 Coins have been sponsored.] The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

"And you even gave us a gift, so we didn't really lose anything," In-ho said as his signature smile returned.

"It wasn't that big of a deal, so what can I help you with?" Haru spoke cutting to the chase.

"I wanted to buy some food from Haru-ssi," In-ho asked.

"How much?" Haru asked.

"About 10 lunch boxes," In-ho said as Haru nodded giving 10 boxes to the person next to In-ho after he received the coins.

"Is something wrong?" Haru asked In-ho seeing the latter look a bit confused.

"...No, I am quite happy to see that all of you have seemed to make it back without any injury," In-ho looked at the present group members, he got a report from Cheol-soo that everyone was back.

"That is true but we are very tired at the moment, The outside is really dangerous," Haru stretched his arms while sighing.

'Do you think I'll fall for that? You guys don't even look tired, it is like you went out on a picnic,' In-ho didn't his thoughts show.

"I see, looks like I need to tell our team to be more careful," In-ho spoke trying to gauge Haru's reaction.

"In-ho's group is also going out?" Haru asked looking surprised.

"Yes, I talked about it last night, right?" In-ho opened his eyes slightly looking at Haru.

"Oh, come to think of it you did, I forgot about that, So are you leading them yourself?" Haru asked with a very innocent look but as soon as his words fell everyone's ears raised waiting for In-ho's reply.

'This Bastard.....' In-ho calmed down his raising anger and opened his mouth.

"No I won't be, I have some things to do in the station and I am not much of a fighter," In-ho explained.

"I see, then tell the leader of the group to be careful of the wolf's ambushes, tell them to not show the wolves their backs, they won't miss the chance," Haru said with a smile.

'Is he really trying to help them or threatening them?' Nam-woon thought as he felt a chill down his spine and he wasn't alone.

"Wow, it looks like you really know him well," Hee-won said with a teasing smile.

"I know more about Haru than I know about myself," Queresha said while looking at Hee-won catching her off guard.

"Oh god, That...is something," Hee-won thought it was a joke at first but looking at Queresha's eyes she could see the seriousness.

'Maybe she is pulling my leg 'cause I tried to tease her,' Hee-won thought but she didn't know how wrong she was.

"Sang-ah is everything alright? You look tired," Hee-won asked Sang-ah who had barely spoken after coming to the station.

"Uh, I just have been thinking about something," Sang-ah said with a smile like usual, but Hee-won could feel that something was off.

'Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it? Thinking I can help will be quite careless, I might make it worse if I push it,' Hee-won didn't know if she should ask or not since Sang-ah's mood was down in the dumps. She did have a few guesses about what it can be but it only made it harder to talk about.

"Sang-ah are you feeling guilty about your mistake before," Queresha said making Sang-ah halt in her steps.

"Queresha that's....." Hee-won saw that Queresha made the correct guess, but it was still not right to talk about it, since she saw Sang-ah looking down with guilt on her face.

"That is...correct," Sang-ah's small voice reached the two's ears.

'I thought she might try to lie about it like she was trying to before, It might be because she is comfortable around Queresha unlike with me,' Hee-won didn't think that Sang-ah would open up.

"I am sorry I put you in danger because of my actions," Sang-ah said bowing her head.

"Hmm? You also did help me, did you not?" Queresha said.

"T-That...But I made a mistake," Sang-ah spoke a bit of fear on her face as she thought about how things could've ended up if she missed the throw.

"The worst that could've happened was me getting bitten, I can heal that type of wound so don't think too deeply about that, think about how it didn't come to that result, It was avoided by your effort, And are you not happy to see me unharmed?" Queresha spoke with a straight face while raising an eyebrow at the end.

"N-no I didn't mean it that way, I was just...." Sang-ah panicked a little as she stopped talking since it was hard to distinguish if Queresha was joking at the end or not.
