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
