Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 117: Waterway (2)

Kim Hyunsung's expression notified me of his desperation.

I knew he wanted me to bring Jung Hayan along, for she wouldn't be able to help with the workload here anyway. Though she possessed high intelligence, Hayan had no aptitude for work.

If she were with me, her efficiency would increase. If she stayed behind, she would just end up being a hindrance to everyone. Kim Hyunsung, who had already gone through an entire expedition with her without me, knew just how stressful this was.

After all, Jung Hayan tended to throw tantrums and whatnot in my absence. Hyunsung, with all his work, wouldn't even be able to take care of her. Even Park Deokgu seemed to side with him.

'You bastard.

The problem was that it would be difficult to take responsibility for Jung Hayan. As Cha Hee-ra's Gigolo, it would be hard to bring her along to the party.

Not only would it interfere with hosting a conversation with the Holy Empire's nobles, but it would also be hard to emphasize my friendship with the Red Mercenary Queen.

Plus, this was supposed to be my vacation. I had to try and rebel.

"I think it would be nice to go together, but as you can see, Jung Hayan isn't feeling well. I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to handle such a long trip..."

"Ah!"

"She was complaining of abdominal pain just now."

"I'm okay now! Really!"

Jung Hayan!

Now I knew for sure that she was just pretending to be sick.

"No, Hayan, you still need to be stabilized..."

"Oh, but Hayan is the most stable when she's beside you."

"Ah, that's right, Deokgu Oppa."

It wouldn't be too long before I had to leave. I wanted to find a way to make Hayan stay behind, but I couldn't find a counterattack for the logic they had presented to me.

"Oh, and by the way, isn't love the sweetest and most effective recovery?"

'What kind of logic is that?'

"No, Deokgu. Actually, Mr. Kiyoung has a point. Although her body has fully recovered, she will still need a stabilizer. Mhh, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with her body and magic power...

"That's why she just needs some peace of mind, Sun Hee-young."

I could already feel that they had planned this setup right from the moment Cha Hee-ra had decided to take me along for the event.

The tanking power of Park Deokgu, who ignored my remarks, coupled with Kim Hyunsung's logic, rendered me helpless.

At this point, there was nothing I could say to get me out of this situation.

The options were already set. I felt utterly bitter about it.

"I can't help it then. We'll go together."

"Great..."

"You thought well."

"Nice, Hayan!"

"Hehe..."

As the loser lowered his head, the winners openly celebrated. A sigh escaped me. I had no other choice but to educate Jung Hayan.

'In particular, I should educate her about Cha Hee-ra.

"Speaking of which, the time has already come."

"Kiyoung and Jung Hayan need time to get ready."

"Yes, but before that, I have to oversee the handover."
