Chapter 128 Temporary Joining (2)

Proofread

“You seem to be often sighing these days.”

Yeonju Go played along with me and nodded.

“That’s true.”

“Resting is the best medicine for that. How about going out for a while?”

“Are you asking me out? You had refused all my advances…”

She seemed to have understood my intention, and I spoke in a softer voice.

“It may be a date since my party is going out of the city to explore next month. How about joining us?”

Yeonju Go let out a laugh as she shook her head.

“Is your idea of a date holding hands and killing monsters?”

“Better than moping around in the motel.”

“You’re too much. How long?”

“Three weeks.”

Yeonju Go frowned at my answer and narrowed her eyes.

“…My motel will have to close. It took a lot of money to build this, you know.”

“It’s already ruined, as we’re practically your only customers..”

Yeonju pouted at my retort and placed weight on her head that was still on my thigh.

“I said, it’s a good place. Don’t worry. You’ll earn much more there than in a motel like this.”

“Are you planning to discover a dungeon again?”

I answered her words nonchalantly.

“How did you know?”

“……”

She now only stared at me with a vacant face.

I did my morning meditation and washed before going down, and the motel was in an uproar. Everyone who would have been sleeping was gathered on the first floor with anxious expressions. I saw everyone’s eyes on me as I went down the stairs.

“Ansol, what is it?”

“The motel is closing down!”

I had to laugh at her words. While Anhyeon and Yujeong looked like they had just woken up, Ansol looked fresh. She seemed to have come down early for a change and found Yeonju Go. She would have then woken everyone else up since I was doing my meditation. I scratched my head and sat down.

“Damn… did you hear anything from the owner?”

Yujeong sat next to me with a bleary face and leaned against my shoulder when I remained silent. I patted her hair, and she looked happier. Ansol looked discomfited while Anhyeon was looking around. Hayeon and Sangyong Shin sat quietly, as they seemed to have realized something was going on.

The front door opened, and Yeonju Go came in. She closed the door and stood in front of me. I spoke in a pleasant tone.

“You’re busy early.”

“Yes, thanks to someone. Well, I like doing things fast, and things were getting irksome these days.”

While her words were filled with thorns, I shrugged my shoulders as I spoke on.

“Well, you should have told me earlier. Pay me back for the remaining days.”

She bit her lips as she glared at me.

“Huh. Since everyone is here, have breakfast. What will you guys have?”

“The same. Seven A courses.”

“Eight. I need to eat, too.”

Yeonju Go poked my chest before going inside the kitchen, and others looked at me with surprise. However, Sangyong Shin looked serious as he murmured to me.

“Leader.”

“Yes.”

“You are quite efficient.”

I laughed awkwardly, and Hayeon now looked astonished.

“Suhyun, did you…”

“No, I made a deal with her.”

“A deal?”

Hayeon asked me with suspicion. I nodded before motioning others to sit, and now we were all at the table.

“I cannot tell you the specifics yet, but she will close the motel for at least three weeks. The reason will be due to the lack of customers.”

All nodded, as they had noticed that during our stay. I continued on.

“Also, she will join our caravan for that time. Since she is a five-year user, I believe she will help us a lot. We will talk more when she comes back. Any questions?”

Vivian immediately raised her hand, and I nodded for her to speak.

“I know that you have your reasons, but I am worried about one thing.”

“What is it?”

Vivian looked around at our party before speaking.

“You said three weeks, which means that you will take that user to our next expedition, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, can she blend in? She’s a motel owner, even if she has been here five years…”

Hayeon and Sangyong Shin smiled at Vivian’s words. However, I could understand why Vivian said such things. Even as she got used to the present day, she still confused things with the ancient Whole Plane now and then.

“Vivian.”

“Yes?”

“I won’t tease you again if you can fight against her for ten minutes.”

“What?”

Everyone looked as astonished as Vivian was. While Hayeon had joined us, Vivian was the second strongest in our caravan, and everyone knew this fact. While Vivian was strong, she was no match for Yeonju Go, one of the Top Ten. Since I knew Yeonju Go would beat Vivian in a heartbeat, my voice was confident.

“I will vouch for her prowess. How about it, Vivian?”

Vivian flushed before answering with her head down.

“I… don’t want that.”

“…Next question.”

I changed the subject quickly at hearing Vivian’s nuanced answer, and thankfully no one seemed to have noticed. I was also surprised at Yeonju Go’s quick decision, as she had been more decisive than I had expected.

I heard Yeonju Go pushing the cart from the kitchen, and Anhyeon suddenly sprang up like he had now just woken up.

“I will go wash.”

“How about after you eat?”

“No, I will be quick.”

He went up as quickly he could, and Yeonju Go came in to place the dishes. She sat in the remaining chair and looked around before speaking to Ansol.

“Where’s your brother?”

“He.. went to wash up…”

“What? Speak up.”

Ansol shyly looked at me for help, and Yujeong answered for me.

“He went to wash.”

“Ah, he’s cute. Anyway, User Suhyun, did you talk about me?”

“A bit. How about speaking the rest for yourself?”

“We will know each other well during the next three weeks. I will talk after the meal. Dig in while the food is warm.”

Yeonju Go looked calm, and her attire was demure. We began to eat when Anhyeon came down with damp hair. He stared at Yeonju Go. Come to think of it, they had never really been formally introduced to each other. Anhyun spoke up first.

“I am Anhyun, a 0-year user and a spearman.”

“I am Yeonju Go, a 5-year user. I am… the Shadow Queen.”

Ansol spurted the water she had been drinking at Yeonju Go’s words. She really did know a lot.
