"I brought you here, so take care from now on. I'm not a babysitter. "
Jihye waved off her embarrassment and replaced it with a strong and firm gaze.
I looked around more and the atmosphere was as real and accurate as the one the bastard god gave me.
"S-Shit! I'll kill you if you come close…"
A man was in the middle of the platform, waving a knife around and threatening people. At his feet was a tile that emitted a green light that stretched into the air.
Yoo Sangah asked.
"…Why is he doing that?"
"I don't know."
Kim Dokja only said that to not seem suspicious but I honestly think he's not doing a great job at it. He has already made himself super suspicious but the others just keep waving it off.
'Some main character buffs I guess. '
Cale squinted his eyes as he thought that. Choi Han, Alberu and Kim Namwoon who were watching him were confused by his actions but didn't question him.
"Is Yoo Joonghyuk here?"
'Oh it's time for this. '
Just as I remembered, Jihye turned her head as Kim Dokja mentioned her master.
"…Who are you?"
'That's such a cliche question.'
What I don't like about being inside a novel was that everything was kinda cliche. Not everything but, a lot. So many people ask 'who are you?' when they are wary of someone.
Cale was watching the scene he called cliche with anticipation.
"I am a companion of Yoo Joonghyuk who came back alive."
"…Companion? How is that possible?"
Jihye stared at Kim Dokja with suspicious eyes.
"That guy will understand if you tell him. Where is Yoo Joonghyuk now?"
"…Master isn't here right now."
"Really? This is difficult. I have something I need to say."
Jihye then turned to me after hearing Kim Dokja's words. I was startled but held onto my poker face.
"Cale hyung, is what he's saying true?"
Jihye's eyes were pressing me to spit it out. I only smiled at her a bit and nodded my head.
Her eyes seemed to have cracked and the world in her seemed to fall. I smirked a bit when a sudden idea came to mind.
I gestured for Jihye to lend me her ear. I whispered.
"That ahjussi knows a lot about your master and their relationship is quite special."
I tried hard suppressing my smirk. I bet my smile looks creepy and crooked right now but I didn't care anymore. I felt my smile growing wider and wider.
I saw Jihye's face flush red with what I said. I bet even more that her wild imagination is overworking itself.
Jihye and I composed ourselves after my little gossip and her overheating.
Jihye whipped her head and called out to a boy squatting in the corner.
"Hey, over there!"
"Eh? Yes, yes!"
"Watch over these people right here! I'm going to find Master."
"…Who are they?"
"I don't know. Master's friends?"
