"How's the reaction?"
"I'm not sure how to answer that..."
"Are you sure you're okay with this? You're not feeling any abnormalities, right?"
"Yes, it seems okay so far. In fact, the data I've gathered in previous trials had no problems with the body, so you don't have to worry about that."
"When did you do such an experiment again...?"
I had used it when I successfully tried to lure Sun Hee-young into joining our party. At that time, I had obtained satisfactory results, but I had to stop the research overall because there had been so many limitations.
I never thought it would be helpful in a place like this. It seemed like every little thing had a chance of being useful every once in a while.
"How about making the concentration a little thicker?"
"It's not good to put too much. This is just the right amount, especially if you plan to use magic again later on. Otherwise, it could trigger an effect on the body."
"No, if you think about using it to try and resist the curse, it will outperform the curse."
"Okay, Admiral Lee."
"I think it would be okay to approach with similar effects."
"It feels like we're moving in circles."
"To be precise, we're not going back to square one. I think most of them are ready for this..."
"The problem is that you're not entirely confident about the results yet, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you'll have to rewrite the formula. It looks like today will be tough."
Even the simple exchange of opinions worked. I couldn't believe that it had only been a day since I felt hopeless about my situation. Who knew we could make so much progress?
The main reason was that Hwang Jeong-yeon and I proved to be a good match.
In the beginning, I only planned on collaborating with her for the sake of getting my third job, but our relationship turned out to be more beneficial than I thought.
Of course, it didn't mean we were bound for intimacy. It was just that we were more efficient in our work together. Hwang Jeong-yeon had been able to help me in the aspects where I was weakest. She had helped me in so many ways. I had also been able to help her, of course, with my innovative mindset.
"How is Jung Hayan, by the way? You seem very anxious..."
"We only really talk in the evenings. I feel like it's best to remain a little distant."
"But..."
"She hasn't shown any abnormal behavior yet."
"I guess so. I can understand why you're in a hurry to solve this right away. I just feel like she's not happy with how we're spending so much time together."
"I'm sorry about that. As I said..."
"I know, and I understand. What I don't get is how I, a girl who has never been with a man, suddenly became the focus of a girl's resentment. It's almost as if I got caught having an affair with you. I kind of feel guilty..."
Hwang Jeong-yeon lowered her head a little.
"My goodness..."
"Why do I have to be portrayed as the other woman? Even Park Deokgu might begin to have negative thoughts about me."
