Chapter 254: There’s No Bad Dragon in the World (2)
“But why take a bath suddenly? I know your intentions are good, but it just feels a little sudden.”
Though I seemed to be complaining, it didn’t feel all that bad.
‘Rather, it feels good…’
I had been washing myself with magic all this time, but taking a bath like this seemed more effective. I felt like I would be able to relax better.
When I heard about the remodeling design in the past, there was definitely an explanation about what the water component was about, and it seemed that this was the effect.
‘Mineral bedrock water, or something.’
I was not the only one who felt good. Everyone else was smiling.
In particular, Kim Hyunsung and Ahn Ki-mo’s facial expressions were the most relaxed, almost falling into a deep sleep.
‘It’s surprising that Hyunsung is also here.’
In fact, it was also unexpected that our lovely returner participated in Park Deokgu’s plan. He seemed like the type who would avoid such a place. However, it seemed as if he didn’t really care.
‘This bastard… I guess he’s confident…’
In fact, I would not have participated if Kim Hyunsung himself had not participated. It didn’t suit my personality to a position where the company’s boss personally visited.
At this, Park Deokgu replied.
“I’m telling you it’s about promoting friendship? It doesn’t mean much.”
“To promote friendship?”
“Yes, friendship. In fact, I haven’t spent time with you since the new recruits came in. Well, we’ve been moving and sleeping together since the tutorial. So, we’re close, but newcomers don’t have that at all. That’s why Chang-ryul is here!”
“Right.”
“I should have paid more attention to it… I was worried about neglecting the new recruits and going to the expedition right away.”
‘Our pig is being nice.’
Honestly, it was the part I’d been missing. Since Park Deokgu had already gotten alienated once, he would probably pay more attention to this part.
‘I thought he was living without thinking…’
I was certainly grateful to him for taking care of this part.
“That’s why I planned this with Jeong-yeon. Ahem. When it feels like a group event, it’s usually a little difficult to miss. If you forcefully go skin-to-skin like this, you are supposed to get close to each other.”
“…”
“And since we’re talking about it… Actually, there’s no problem on our men’s side, but the women’s side really doesn’t feel close. Hayan and Hee-young also went on an expedition like that, but they’re not that friendly. When I see them, I get all awkward.”
“There’s definitely no feeling of them being close.”
“Of course, Hyung-ssi feels that way, too! And since Cho Hyejin is a person who only talks about principles and principles every day, isn’t she a person who’s built up a wall from sociability? Ye-ri, that kid, never answers properly. In fact, it’s a little embarrassing to say this, but Jeong-yeon may well be the only friendly one among them.”
“Ahhhhhh…”
If I were to think about it, that was certainly true. In the meantime, it was embarrassing to see him taking care of his fiancée, but I couldn’t think of anything to refute that line.
Among the Blue female guild members, Hwang Jeong-yeon was the closest to normal.
“Ahem! Referencing from this… Han Sora, that person, trembles when she sees Hayan… The situation is better for our blacksmith, but it is really difficult when I heard from Jeong-yeon. On the way home in the carriage today, Kiyoung and Hyunsung weren’t with us.”
“Did anything happen?”
“I’d rather be happy if something happened. They didn’t even say a word to each other!”
“What?”
“I had to be wary of them in the wagon! While riding that long road… Ye-ri and Hyejin exchanged a few words, and that was all. There wasn’t a normal conversation. It was all related to work! This is definitely not normal, isn’t it? Ki-mo? Ahn Ki-mo!”
“Yes. If I could’ve escaped from that situation, I would’ve. Well, it wasn’t an atmosphere that could be both ignored and endured.”
“Yes. It wasn’t!”
“It would have been better if they at least fought… I tried to release the hardened atmosphere, but… It would have been better if I didn’t. I still can’t forget their expressions.”
I was half-expecting this to happen, so I couldn’t say I was surprised. Of course, Park Deokgu started to talk more excitedly as he thought this was an opportunity to let loose some more.
“Chang-ryul, say something, too!”
“I don’t know much about the other people yet.”
“Then! Can you tell me a little bit about the relationship between Ahyoung and Sora?”
“There aren’t enough connections to define. To borrow the expression Deokgu used earlier, I think it would be appropriate to do it forcefully.”
“Ahem… Look at this! This is the current address of the Blue female members!”
“Well, actually, all I can do is just this much… A more fundamental solution seems to be needed. At this point, Hyung-nim and Hyung-ssi have to come out with power… Don’t we have to do a unity competition at least once? Of course, I’ll be in favor. Someone say something…”
When Park Deokgu trailed off, a different voice drifted through the baths.
“Wow… Ahyoung-ssi, it’s really big. How can it get this big?”
‘Huh?’
I could hear Hwang Jeong-yeon’s voice drifting through the wall. We hadn’t noticed it because we’d been very invested in our conversation.
‘It seems like the renovation of the construction wasn’t done properly… this…’
Though I tried my hardest not to listen in, it proved to be quite hard.
“I-I’m not sure. It just happened…”
“Anyway, it’s just a chunk of fat.”
“Oh. That’s not it, Yeri. Look how pretty…”
“Not really. People said it wasn’t good to have them too big. They clearly said it wasn’t good.”
“I don’t know. I wonder if there are people who don’t like it…”
“Some men will like it, but more people probably don’t. Yes, that’s right. There are surely many people who have different tastes.”
It was Cho Hyejin who spoke this. I felt the need to refute her words, for I was pretty sure that had been a fake statistic.
“If it’s the right size, it’ll be about Hayan’s or Hee-young’s…”
“No. In Hayan’s case, it is above average no matter what… Actually, Hee-young’s, too… I think that Sora’s is the right size. By the way, Hayan’s body is surprisingly pretty. I didn’t think you’d have such a figure.”
“I-I-It’s embarrassing if you keep staring.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
My imagination had run into overdrive. Naturally, I began to head out of the bath, afraid that a more detailed description might be spoken aloud.
The other men followed right after me, startled. This was because the girls had become even more preoccupied.
“You can go for it, but be careful. I get ticklish…”
“Yes. Okay, Ahyoung.”
“T-Then m-me, too…”
“Ah… Yes. Then Hayan-ssi, too… Please wait.”
“I’m not very interested, but… it seems interesting, so please…”
“W-Wait a minute! If you do it all at once… h-hey…”
Though I didn’t know what exactly was going on, my body had begun to respond.
All of the female crews seem to be paying attention to Yoo Ahyoung’s overwhelming size. I knew I had to escape as soon as possible.
“I guess we were mistaken. They… seem close, right?”
Ahn Ki-mo’s small voice echoed throughout the tiny hall. Even Park Deokgu couldn’t argue.
However, I had to admit that the bath felt good. In the meantime, seeing Max whining alone and drying his hair looked like his chest was hurting, so I brushed his head off with a towel.
-T-Thank you.
“You don’t need to be grateful. Would you like to drink anything? No, can you even drink?”
-Yes. Basically, it doesn’t matter if I don’t consume nutrients, but after all, as I’m out of the museum, I want to enjoy everything you have to offer.
“Now, drink some milk here.”
-Thank you.
“Tsk. Is your chest a little better?”
-Yes… Yep. It’s throbbing a little bit, but it’s okay now.
“Tol To-ri will be your sister, Max.”
-Ah…
It was fun to see him looking so worried.
“You’ll be busy starting tomorrow.”
-Yes!
“You’re going to go to school. Your research needs to be done quickly. Do you understand me?”
-Ah… Yep. Okay, President Lee.
Come to think of it. I hadn’t even decided on his room yet.
With this in mind, I excused us to Kim Hyunsung. When I brought Max out, however, I unexpectedly found Dialugia waiting outside.
‘Why is this woman here?’
There was only one reason she was here now—he must’ve caused trouble again.
Before I even said hello first, she spoke, looking very embarrassed. However, what she said was entirely different from what I had been expecting.
“Er…”
“What happened? Is it Tol To-ri again?”
“Oh! Not like that. Not like that, but…”
“Yes?”
“I was wondering if you could forgive Dialuria…”
“What?”
“Our D-Diaruria looks so pitiful… I think she has already received enough punishment.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Er… I think she’s been looking forward to the both of you going out together… It seems that she’s already reflected a lot. Er… So…”
Less than three hours had passed since the body hammer case. I knew Dialugia’s pushover disposition was the whole reason why Dialuria had grown in such a negative manner, but…
“I think… it would be better to forgive her.”
