Ordeal.
It was literally an ordeal.
Kang Seo-jun took the exam.
◆Characteristics
[Necrotic Dermatitis Lv. Lowest], [Hunchback Lv. Lowest], [Clubfoot Lv. Lowest], [Twisted Arm Lv. Lowest], [One-Eye Lv. Lowest]]]]]]……
How can you excite the opposite sex with all these characteristics? !
“Ah, ah…!”
Kang Seo-jun wiped his face in despair.
Jin Se-rin looked at Kang Seo-jun and asked with a worried expression.
“Did you leave something at home? Should I turn the car around?”
“Oh, no… No…”
You cannot turn the car.
If you deviate from the quest path, the quest could have absurdly failed.
“Huh….”
No matter how hard he tried to act calm, such an unexpected quest was too harsh even for the old man Kang Seo-jun.
As Kang Seo-jun closed her eyes in despair, Jin Se-rin became restless.
“Oh, cow, I don’t feel well!”
Jin Se-rin had not forgotten that Kang Seo-jun suffered from extreme motion sickness during the last dungeon trip.
Jin Se-rin quickly stopped the car.
“Driver! Please stop the car for a moment!”
“Ah…”
As soon as the car stopped, a system message was displayed in front of Kang Seo-jun.
[Warning! You are straying from the quest path. Please return to the quest path within 30 seconds.]
“Oh my…!”
Kang Seo-jun’s face was colored with contemplation.
“Oh, no! Go! Go!”
“Yeah, but…!?”
“Evil…!”
Kang Seo-jun’s face became more thoughtful.
A pale face, as if someone was strangling it.
Jin Se-rin’s face also became thoughtful at the sight.
“Oh, uncle, hospital! Please go to the hospital!”
“Stop!”
The quest location is on the way to school.
If you do not continue moving towards school, you will be judged as having deviated from the route.
You must not stop on your way. You have to keep moving.
Kang Seo-jun tried to act calm to start the car, but stopped.
‘No! ‘No!’
If you get out of the car now, you can gain about 10 to 20 minutes more time.
Because walking is slower than driving.
“The hospital is okay! Just walk a little and you’ll feel better.”
“Really? Are you okay?”
Kang Seo-jun quickly got out of the car and started walking, and Jin Se-rin quickly followed behind him.
[You have returned to the quest path. The quest continues.]
Kang Seo-jun sighed in relief after seeing the message.
Jin Se-rin interpreted the appearance in a different way.
“Are you feeling better? I’m glad…”
“Uh, uh… I like the weather…”
Fuck you.
I’ve gotten over one hurdle and gained some time, but I don’t feel like the situation has improved at all.
The goal of the quest is to make Jin Se-rin’s heart pound with excitement.
However, for Kang Seo-jun, women’s feelings were always a difficult issue and a weakness.
You have to overcome these challenges with even more miserable specifications than in your previous life!
Still, Kang Seo-jun quietly clenched his fists.
‘But there’s still quite a bit of distance to the academy. If you attack calmly, there will definitely be a gap… !’
You must use even the slightest knowledge.
The first thing you need to do now.
It would be to make the atmosphere comfortable.
“I’m sorry I haven’t been able to contact you for a while.”
Kang Seo-jun first apologized the previous day to avoid any misunderstanding.
“Huh?”
“I had some things to concentrate on. So I turned off my smartphone.”
“Ah, ah! That’s right! I thought I was bothering you again… Hehe…”
After Jin Se-rin’s awkward laughter, the conversation was cut off again.
Kang Seo-jun tried his best to think about what else to say.
Was it this difficult to continue a conversation with someone?
Numerous topics and words passed through my mind, and I felt the cooler in my brain heating up quickly.
Kang Seo-jun’s plan is a natural way to create excitement.
First create a comfortable atmosphere, then when she relaxes, shake her heart with a converting shot.
Whether in battle, negotiation, or dating, it has always been important to relax the other person.
But when the conversation is cut off like this, I can’t even get started!
Kang Seo-jun’s lips trembled and then he decided to say something.
“You, you didn’t do anything for two weeks!?”
At the end of the sentence, there was a sharp squeak.
Jin Se-rin opened her eyes wide as if she had never thought that Kang Seo-jun would ask about her well-being first.
“Uh, huh?”
Then he spoke with a much more comfortable smile on his face.
“I am…”
The words that came out of Jin Se-rin’s mouth were far removed from Kang Seo-jun’s expectations.
“I’ve been thinking about the definition of a best friend for two weeks.”
“Huh…?”
“Well… At that time, Seo and Seojun said that you… Are a relationship that takes care of each other…”
As Jin Serin continued to speak, her face became increasingly darker.
“Actually, I don’t know how to repay what I’ve received so far… Ah! That doesn’t mean I don’t like it now… It’s just that I’ve lost a bit of confidence… This is why I’m just a nuisance… One-sided… Ah! Saying things like this. Isn’t that a bit like that… that….”
Why is the story going so dark!?
Only in this way does the atmosphere become more like a mourning house rather than a comfortable atmosphere.
We need to get the conversation going quickly!
“Don’t be impatient!?”
Kang Seo-jun’s voice when he said that was the most impatient.
Jin Se-rin shrugged her shoulders at Kang Seo-jun’s threatening shout.
“Uh, huh!?”
“If you wanted to be such a tiring relationship where you pick on every single thing, you wouldn’t have said anything about being friends in the first place!”
Kang Seo-jun shed tears inside.
In fact, it was his long-held belief that if you give something, you should get something back in return.
[The constellation 《Tree that cares for the world of flowers》 listens to your words.]
[The constellation “Golden Fox of the Sun and Moon Palace” Listens to your words.]
[The constellation “Queen of the Deepest” Listens to you.]
.
.
“…….”
Why are you like this? Burdensomely.
The attention from the constellations made me think more.
What words should I end with to reassure Jin Se-rin and satisfy the constellations?
-Whoop!
While they were thinking that, a strong gust of wind passed by, pushing the two of them.
“Ugh….”
The wind blew so hard that both of their hair became matted.
“Ah…”
Jin Serin hurriedly ran her hands to straighten her messy hair.
However, the wind completely messed up my hair, making it difficult to straighten my tangled hair.
“Hmm…!”
Seeing that scene, a ray of inspiration passed through Kang Seo-jun’s mind.
This is definitely a function of luck.
Let’s appeal to her favor by helping her now.
Kang Seo-jun said, extending his hand to Jin Se-rin’s head.
“I’ll help you.”
“Hey, hey…!”
“…Huh…?”
Kang Seo-jun stiffened at the unexpected reaction.
He jumped up behind her as if she had been smothered in dirt.
“Ah.”
Kang Seo-jun looked down at his hands.
Skin as if it had just been pulled out of boiling oil.
He closed his eyes tightly at his own mistake.
His appearance now is no different from living filth.
It was like that.
Jin Se-rin has not shown it at all until now, but there must have been physiological disgust deep in her heart.
A girl in her prime would be repulsed by even being touched like this.
Isn’t she the one who can’t even accept her own fate because she hates how gross and scary she is?
This has nothing to do with personal support or current relationships.
Just instinct.
It is due to providence that is deeply engraved in human genes.
‘Alas!’
Kang Seo-jun keenly realized his mistake.
“I’m sorry.”
“Ah… No… That’s not it…”
Jin Se-rin became restless as Kang Seo-jun bit her hand with a hurt expression.
If things continue like this, the atmosphere will fall further into the labyrinth.
A series of tension and anxiety that is far from excitement!
If the situation continues like this, the quest will fail.
‘It is not the time to choose between means and methods.’
[The constellation “Queen of the Deepest Place” Pities you for being rejected.]
When Kang Seo-jun thought of that, the Holy See sponsored an item almost at the same time.
[The constellation 《Queen of the Deepest》 sponsors 《Tears of the Colors of the Land》 to you.]
‘This!’
──────《Item》──────
▶Tears of Gyeonggukji Color
◆Grade
[Rare]
◆Description
– The tears of a peerless beauty who was loved by an era. If you use it in your eyes like eye drops, you will gain the ‘Charm’ skill for 30 minutes.
─────────────────
Kang Seo-jun put his hand into the inside pocket of his coat.
There was a small glass bottle that wasn’t there until just now.
These are tears of the color of Gyeonggukji.
‘If this is it!’
Man’s greatest weapon is being able to use tools.
If you can’t do it on your own, you can borrow the power of a tool.
“Just a moment.”
Kang Seo-jun stopped walking and quickly filled his eyes with sad tears.
Golden-colored tears spread evenly across his dry eyes.
[You used 《Tears of the Colors of Gyeonggukji》. Gain charm skills for 30 minutes!]
‘Okay.’
I felt a strange power in my eyes.
I was naturally able to instinctively know how to use the charm skill.
“Jin Se-rin.”
Kang Seo-jun immediately called out the target’s name with the intention of using charm.
“…Yes, yes?”
In that serious and heavy voice, Jin Se-rin said an honorific word without even realizing it.
-Peeing!
The moment his eyes met Jin Se-rin, Kang Seo-jun activated his charm skill.
[Activates skill 《Charm》.]
Pink flames flashed in his eyes.
