ALL NOVEL Chapter 28
Puck!Thud, thud. Bang! His heavy body bounced all over the floor and walls before coming to a sudden stop.
“Huh…?”
As she stood blankly in the sudden situation, a soft message, like a stroking hand, landed in front of her eyes.
[The system administrator’s fury shakes the system!]
[Warning! The system administrator’s anger is reaching its limit!]
But the content was anything but soft.
“L-Liza-nim?”
[T/N: Administrator is “gwan-li-za/gwan-ri-ja/other variations of it” added with the suffix -nim. From here on out Seora only calls the administrator “Liza-nim” and to translate it Trator-nim is simply ridiculous. You will see why I name it Liza soon.]
The messages that popped up one after another felt like the administrator’s roar, giving her goosebumps. Just because he tried to kill her, the administrator was now angry enough to affect the system.
Seora alternately looked at Park Jinyong, who was half-dead, and the message with puzzled eyes.
‘I can’t believe you’re angry enough to affect the system…’
Well, I appreciate that you’re definitely taking care of me, but I’m a little scared…
[The blessing ‘Guardian’ disappears.]
The blessing that had thrown Park Jinyong away with triple power disappeared. Seora rubbed her arm and looked at Park Jinyong, who had become a bloody pulp.
He seemed to have completely passed out. Of course, she didn’t feel that he was pitiful. She was rather more concerned about the administrator, who was angry enough to affect the system.
“I’m fine, so calm down, Liza-nim.”
Unlike usual, there was no emoticon in reply. Seora was suddenly scared because there was no funny and characteristic message.
I think it’s really angry. What should I do?
Park Jinyong, who had fainted, was not a problem. The first thing was to calm the administrator who seemed to have flipped out because they loved me too much.
“My Liza-nim, thank you so much for caring about me. Thank you so much for hitting him in my stead. Ayy, what a cute, lovely, and good kid you are. Let’s calm down for now, alright? Choo, choo.”
Seora stroked the message that said the administrator was angry over and over again. However, perhaps because she was too distracted to soothe the administrator, she did not realize she was trampling on Park Jinyong.
“… What are you doing?”
She didn’t even notice that Kang Sejun was so close. Seora, who was stroking the air while muttering good and cute kid, jumped.
“Ah, again! You did it again! Can’t you make some noise?!”
“There’s a disturbance nearby, so of course I must approach stealthily. Do you expect me to come so loud so that everyone can hear me? Anyway, Liza? Who the heck was that that you even did that to the air?”
“…”
Oh no. This guy was listening to it. Seora coughed over the administrator’s message she had been stroking.
“My god…”
“Is your Entity named Liza?”
“It’s not. I’m just calling it cough, cough, E… Elizabeth… on my own.”
Seora closed her eyes and told a lie. Then, along with Sejun’s sympathetic eyes, the administrator’s emoticon finally returned.
[Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪… … ?]
It wasn’t a good look, though.
‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry. But I can’t say you’re the system administrator. Elizabeth, it’s an old-fashioned name, so let’s compromise on that.’
[Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪!!!!!!]
Seora tried to ignore his message.
“But why are you here? We weren’t supposed to see each other here.”
“How can I not come when you’re being so loud?”
Kang Sejun’s gaze turned to Park Jinyong, who was being crushed at Seora’s feet.
“I didn’t expect aside from being blind to money, you could also make a decent person like this. Did you quarrel? What is he in a half-dead state?”
“What did I… never mind. This guy’s cheap. He’s the one who threw me into the Werewolf Dungeon.”
“Why did he come here?”
“He said he became a criminal because of me.”
“What an idiot. Who was the one who tried to commit murder in the first place?”
Kang Sejun dropped a cold laugh.
“But that’s also the reason you’ve been able to raise your grade and even sign a contract with the highest level of Entity… But that’s another story. Are you going to kill him?”
Kill? Seora looked down at Park Jinyong, who was completely knocked out.
Yes, she wanted to kill him. She had such a heart. The horror she had felt in the Level 3 dungeon still haunted her often once in a while.
She would probably never forget it for the rest of her life.
“He already paid a price for throwing someone into the dungeon. He was abandoned by Clear Blue Guild, and he also received legal punishment. It’s been done.”
“Is it?”
A cold smile appeared on Seora’s face as she looked down at Park Jinyong.
“But those had nothing to do with what he was trying to do just now. Shouldn’t he pay a reasonable price for this again?”
“Then kill him.”
Kang Sejun spoke casually, so Seora raised her gun with an emotionless face.
You’ve paid the first time around. So you have to pay for the second time accordingly.
She aimed the muzzle of Hit, which had been converted into a colt, at the head of Park Jinyong, who fainted.
“What a funny guy. Did he think he can kill me because he’s an A-class and I can’t do the same because I’m an F-class?”
Seora heard Kang Sejun laughing next to her.
Yes, how pathetic. What’s the big deal about ratings? It is a world where even a superior S-class can die in an instant, and a pathetic F-class can survive.
Click. Her finger pulled the trigger. Two bullets exploded from the tip of the silencer-mounted muzzle.
“Uwaaaagh!”
Park Jinyong, who had fainted, began to scream again as if he was awakened by the pain. With a sullen face, Seora swished her gun into the inventory. Kang Sejun looked at her with a strange look.
“You didn’t kill him.”
“Because I am a good person.”
“Your eyes aren’t smiling.”
Anyway, you should at least learn how to be fooled. Seora wrinkled her nose.
“I forgot for a while, but I’m still a civil servant. I don’t kill people recklessly out of personal anger. Of course, I am angry, but I have not forgotten my duty.”
As long as she still wore a civil servant status, she should be careful about her behavior. Because the association and Song Hanna had many enemies. Seora didn’t want to put her in trouble.
“And more than anything, there’s a witness.”
When Seora smiled subtly at Kang Sejun, he looked embarrassed.
“I’m sorry about that.”
“I’m just kidding. But as a witness, you have to help me out with that.”
What she pointed to with her chin was none other than Park Jinyong’s knee, which she had shot. His knee had been completely broken, and he would never walk properly again.
“Didn’t you say you don’t want to retaliate out of personal anger because you’re a civil servant?”
“I can do self-defense even if I’m a civil servant.”
Kang Sejun, who was made speechless because of Seora’s bold answer, soon burst out laughing. He murmured that he really could not beat her.
“Well, actually, I wasn’t that angry. My Liza was very angry on my behalf.”
Seora looked into the air. Perhaps the administrator was also looking at her.
Although the anger was unexpected, it had put her in a good mood, and all of her anger because of Park Jinyong was quickly blown away. The administrator was more important than the bastard who would never appear before her again.
[Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪ ]
However, the administrator, who heard the ridiculous nickname, was bewildered. Seora shrugged.
‘Let’s compromise. I will call you Liza so it won’t be a big deal if someone eavesdrops on us like this time. From now on, in places other than my home, I will call you Liza.’
[Administrator: (╬◣д◢)]
‘Whatever you say is useless. I’ve already made up my mind. Liza, our kid’s name is very pretty. If you don’t like it, I’ll call you Liz or Lizzy. Haha. I like Elizabeth because the name has a lot of nicknames.’
[Administrator: ( ◣д◢)൭൭⁼³₌₃!!!!]
“… Pfft.”
At the expected reaction, I burst into laughter.
Ah, now everything seems to be back to normal. It is better to laugh together like this rather than deal with an angry administrator.
[Administrator: ╭☞◣‸◢╭☞]
Then the administrator pointed to one place even though he was angry. Seora turned her head towards it.
“Someone’s coming.”
“Your intuition is good.”
“I didn’t know until Liza told me.”
It was not that far away, but now Seora realized that the other party was also strong.
“Is it S-class?”
“It’s Han Suwon and Director Do. Even if the two of us run away, they will soon come after us.”
Of all things, Han Suwon was the king of magic, and Do Junyoung had a very good sense. Seora stared at Park Jinyong’s bleeding knee.
Oh, it’s over if I get caught.
“Mage-ssi, give me a hand.”
“… What else are you going to do?”
Feeling something, Sejun’s complexion deteriorated in an instant.
Without explanation, Seora quickly reached out to inventory again, took out Hit that had been transformed, and immediately squeezed it into Sejun’s hand.
“What are you doing?”
“From now on, it is the L-class Mage who has shot Park Jinyong. I’m a fragile F-class who barely survived thanks to Mage-ssi. Thank you very much.”
“Seriously, you crazy woman.”
But he couldn’t finish his speech. It was because Do Junyoung and Han Suwon had appeared at the end of the alley.
And at the same time, Seora’s famous performance unfolded again. With her whole body trembling, she slumped down in place as if she had lost her strength.
