Chapter 133 (2/2)

Walking along with them wasn't just soest Earthlings in Paradise and one who had created countless legends with ashi+hyun

Because of this, everyone was rather careful around her After all, even Kazuki found it difficult to interact with her

However, while Seo Yuhui ht appear aloof, she wasn't a woman who enjoyed loneliness by nature

In fact, it wouldn't be strange for soed Not only was she exalted aed her existence as special In the first place, the Daughter of Luxuria was a privileged class

Despite all this, Seo Yuhui didn't act haughty In fact, she acted just like any other Earthling

Because she always treated others with affection and gentleness, she ed into the team in only one or two days

For dinner, she personally volunteered herself to be the chef And even with siht out deep flavors and aroma Her skill was truly at a masterclass level

“Keu! To think I would get to taste the food handhter!”

Saka fuss Seo Yuhui returned a gentle smile

“Eat as much as you want”

“Ah, can I get more!?”

“Me too! Me too!”

Hugo shouted as if he didn't want to lose out When he shoved his plate out competitively, Seo Yuhui refilled his soup with a wry smile

The two of them combined had already finished over ten plates, but as the cook, Seo Yuhui couldn't help but feel happy

“Mm…”

Seo Yuhui was slowly stirring the soup ladle when she caught sight of a youth

Seol Jihu was eating quietly Although he washis spoon mechanically, there were times when he paused and blankly stared into the air

After silently watching him for a while, Seo Yuhui carefully opened her mouth

“Um…”

“Is it not to your taste?”

It was rare for Seo Yuhui to take interest in someone first Naturally, everyone's attention beca at the air below him with a blank look

Only when Kazuki nudged him with his elbow did he respond

When Seol Jihu raised his dazed face, he saw Seo Yuhui who looked a bit embarrassed

“You looked like you weren't enjoying the soup…”

“Ah”

That wasn't the case It was just that…

“It's good”

Seol Jihu forced a san to take one spoonful of soup after the other However, Seo Yuhui's worried gaze didn't leave him so easily

She wasn't the only one orried

After the dinner ended, Saka up their tent and went to chat with Seol Jihu

“Seol! You're pretty good! I learned a thing or two from ya!”

“Learned what?”

“Don't pretend you don't know! 'Even if you're an a to attract attention by acting aloof?”

“Is it that? The bad guy trope”

Hugo giggled as he whispered into Seol Jihu's ear However, Seol Jihu only stared at him quietly

Taken aback, Hugo continued

“Anyways, you can look forward to tonight”

“Look forward… to what?”

“Jun and I only set one tent And we threw the rest away”

“Why?”

“Isn't that obvious? We can sleep in the sa a bed!!”

Hugo shouted excitedly, then crossed his arms triumphantly

“For the record, I' the middle That's decided No matter what”

“…Go ahead”

Seol Jihu nodded his head, signaling that he didn't care Seeing this, Hugo blinked his eyes and spoke aardly

“Um… Seol”

“Yes?”

“Are you worried about so happen?”

“No, I just have a lot to think about It's nothing, really”

Hugo s, he could only accept his words at face value

On the entire way back home, Seol Jihu barely said a word He spentdazedly into the air, and his expression didn't change much either

Although he immediately responded when soe difference cohtly and make jokes or pull pranks

One could say that the ated

“Sorry foryou worry I'm really fine”

Although he put it in a nice way, he was essentially shooing theo was able to take the hint

“Mmm…”

Hugo turned around with a disappointed face

Tian

As there were seven ht watch alone While everyone wanted to become paired up with Seo Yuhui, Seol Jihu volunteered to stand watch alone

One benefit was being the first to stand watch, but the bigger reason was that he wanted to think without disturbance

Silent night

Seol Jihu stared fixedly into the air again Although heat his Status Window

To be exact, he was thinking about his Nine Eyes

[Your Innate Ability, 'Nine Eyes', is evolving]

[The right direction (1) of your Innate Ability – Nine Eyes, Blue color: Destiny Selection, has been unlocked]

The first direction of the right side – Destiny Selection

He couldn't grasp what it uous

Looking back, it was the same when the Golden Commandment was unlocked

Although he could directly look into it just as he had always done…

[You Never forget]

[The decision you made today…!]

Ira's voice was still echoing in his ears

It wasn't just anyone who said these words When spoken by a God, the word 'never' carried a ht

He couldn't help but think there was soht direction lightly

And when he re to stop Ira, he became convinced

It wasn't as if he wasn't given any hint

Of course, it was only a theory, one that he currently had no way of proving But the saht had crossed his mind when he went to provoke the Medusa in Arden Valley

That the Nine Eyes were related to the Future Vision in some way

[Your Innate Ability, 'Future Vision', responds to the awakening of a new ability!]

Otherwise, thisof the Nine Eyes

Furtherh the Banquet, he experienced what he could consider the evidence This hat he could deduce so far

Just like how the left and lower directions were connected, the right direction's Destiny Selection and the upper direction's Golden Coht sides were also related to 'choice' There were simply too many questions he didn't have the answers to

But what could he do? The Nine Eyes, as an ability, was extreive detailed explanations

When Seol Jihu flicked his cigarette away, sparks of e his arms around them, he stared at the campfire endlessly

As the fire burned vigorously, Oh Rahee's face suddenly popped up in his irl, the burly man, Audrey Basler, and Slick Hair flashed by

The same went for the man and woman duo

Seol Jihu stared at the duo's contorted faces inside the wavering flames

“Why did you have to kill?”

His subdued voice…

“Why couldn't you just go to the portal? You wouldn't have been sue 3”

…was frighteningly calm

Not a single emotion could be felt

“Was it really worth it…?”

Even though he kneas seeing a hallucination, he continued to talk

All the way until the duo's faces disappeared

Glaring at the caaze slowly fell down and stopped at his hand that was searching for the lighter

Until the Banquet, he had never killed a hu There were times when he had left people to die when he could have saved them But he had never killed anyone personally

And in Stage 3, he experienced his first murder

Seol Jihu looked at his hand with an indifferent look

The hand didn't look any different than usual It wasn't shaking, he wasn't paying attention to it subconsciously, and he wasn't having nightmares either

He had killed the to deserve it Besides, this was so Seol Jihu expected to experience eventually

Even if he tried to i into this experience, this was all felt And that hat made him feel uncomfortable

It didn't make sense from a common sense standpoint

A twenty-six-year-old who didn't even know the ' two people?

The feeling of slicing the woman's neck was still vivid in hishim to the wall

Yet, he really was fine

A sudden thought popped up in his head

Seol Jihu had thought that the future was changing, even by a little, insignificant amount He still believed this now

But what about 'me'?

Was I also changing along with the changing future?

Or was Itoward the same direction Future Vision showed me?

He couldn't make a hasty conclusion But if he treated this unconificant, he felt it would be the latter

The ed and accepted this numbness, he felt like he would becoed in battlefields like a de himself in blood

If he were to change like that, should he be happy? Or should he be wary?

Seol Jihu closed his eyes in deep thought

That was his 'first' murder

He had even killed two people

They must have had their own lives Perhaps, they hadunable to overco

Seol Jihu buried his face between his knees

He had really hoped… that he would at least feel a tinge of guilt
