Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 219
Episode 219
* * *
When Seo-ra woke up, the first thing she felt was comfort.
The blanket was so comfortable that I couldn’t help but admire it, wrapping my whole body warmly.
What is this comfort? I carefully chose the bedding that came with the king-size bed at home, but it could never compare to this comfort. What on earth is this? Want. I want to take it home.
…But really, what is this blanket? We don’t have anything like this at home?
The moment the thought reached that point, Seo-ra’s eyes widened.
I’ve felt this strange feeling several times before.
“Elizabeth!”
As soon as he raised his upper body, he screamed loudly.
The feeling I had when I met the beautiful woman, or rather the manager, in my dreams was exactly the same as the feeling I had now.
〖“…Do you really have to wake up like that?”〗
I turned my head to the familiar voice.
The manager was sitting on a sofa in front of a large window that filled one wall. Barefoot as usual and wearing a light shirt.
“I’ve always been curious about something.”
〖“What is it?”〗
“Why are you always barefoot?”
In response to Seo-ra’s question, the manager looked down at his feet.
The white feet were neat and smooth, without any protruding parts. I wondered if beautiful women with well-groomed toes also had pretty feet.
〖“Anyway, I’m alone here and I don’t have to go out, so there’s no reason to wear uncomfortable shoes?”〗
The manager, who was thinking deeply while looking at his feet, managed to come up with a reason that made sense. But I don’t know why the ending is question-like.
“Does this seem like a hasty answer?”
〖“It’s been a long time since I lived without shoes. “I don’t remember exactly why I stopped wearing them.”〗
“It’s been so long that I don’t even remember the reason?”
〖“Actually, unless it’s something special, I don’t really remember it. “If I remember every single little thing, I’m the one suffering.”〗
“You remember my five deaths. Do you remember what good that is? Just forget about that too. “Now it’s all gone and I’m alive and well.”
The manager looked puzzled as if he didn’t understand Seo-ra’s dissatisfied grumbling.
〖“How can I forget things about you?”〗
“….”
I was speechless. It means that Seo-ra is more important than yourself. The sincerity contained in those calm words pierced my fingertips.
I thought I was used to his deep affection, but my heart trembled every time he hit me unexpectedly like this. I was even more excited that I had no awareness of it.
“I really want to make you sleep…”
Seo-ra mumbled, her face buried in the blanket she was hugging. The manager, whose pronunciation was slurred and could not hear what was being said, tilted his head with a meek expression.
“But why am I here?”
When I was out of breath, Seo-ra lifted her face.
I remember that when I was shocked by the death of Jeong Ho-young, the manager came over and comforted me. I cried until my heart broke as I was held in the manager’s arms, which were cozier and warmer than the comfortable bedding that soothed my body.
But why am I in the jewel mansion I saw in my dream?
“Did I faint from crying? So, are you dreaming now?”
But why am I always standing here every time I come here, but now I’m lying on a comfortable bed? Did he put himself down before the manager woke up?
〖“You didn’t see it because you were out of your mind.”〗
As I looked around, fiddling with the soft blanket, the manager got up from his seat and approached me.
But where do I keep hearing the rattling sound? Seo-ra turned her head in puzzlement and immediately returned to the flagship. Just like he did the other day, he was approaching, casually stepping on the jewels spread all over the floor with his bare feet.
“foot! My foot hurt! “Why are you walking barefoot on hard jewels?”
However, he only shrugged his shoulders and didn’t stop. He came over and sat down on one side of the bed.
〖“You won’t get hurt with something like this. Stand still, you won’t have any serious cuts.”〗
“No, no matter what, it will hurt if you step on dozens of jewels!”
〖“It doesn’t hurt. “This doesn’t hurt at all.”
The manager smiled.
Seo-ra, who was complaining about not being in pain, felt a strange feeling and stopped talking.
Why? The manager looked particularly different today. Is it because it’s been a while since I’ve seen him in my dreams? But how many times have you seen him disguised as a nine-tailed fox in real life?
It hasn’t been a long time since I’ve seen you, so why does it feel so unfamiliar today?
“…what? Manager, did you change your hairstyle? No, nothing has changed. But why does it feel different than usual? “Something really…”
It sparkled even more than usual. His smile seemed especially brighter, his green eyes seemed more transparent, and I could feel his body temperature better when I was close to him.
It’s not an illusion. There is no way an L-class awakened person would make a mistake with something like this.
The only thing that hasn’t changed is the affection in his eyes.
〖“You noticed something was different.”〗
The manager smiled brightly and waved his hand in front of Seo-ra. A system message window manipulated by the administrator came to mind.
【Synchronization 65% complete】
【Contractor can be moved by system administrator. (Cooldown: 48 hours)】
“Huh?”
Seo-ra blinked.
synchronization. It was a word I hadn’t seen in a long time. The synchronization, which had been sluggish since leaving the 8th floor of the labyrinth, had progressed to 65% as I had never seen before.
But what is the ‘movement’ written over there?
In the past, whenever synchronization was performed, various functions were added, such as enabling the administrator to use status expression messages, transmitting voices, or unlocking memories.
However, this was the first time I had encountered something that I did not understand.
“What is that? Moved by the manager?”
〖“So to speak, I can move you wherever I want. Anywhere within my power. “There is a cooldown, though.”〗
Seora gaped at the manager’s calm explanation.
“movement? Anywhere? really? So, I’m in Korea, but if the manager wants to, I can move to Africa in an instant?”
〖“Everything is possible, whether in Africa or anywhere on this planet.” 〗
Awesome! You must be crazy! Isn’t this a completely fraudulent skill?
My heart was racing. If I could go anywhere, the 48 hour cooldown was nothing. Isn’t it about two days at most?
There was no way the administrator would force her to move even if she didn’t want to, which ultimately meant that she could use this ability however she wanted.
“Long live the manager. Long live synchronization.”
〖“Do you like it?”〗
“Uh! very! “This is my favorite feature since the administrator’s voice function was turned off.”
〖”I’m glad. I just happened to use that feature to bring you back. “I feel relieved that you are not offended.”〗
“…Huh?”
Seora, who was looking at the joyful system message, opened her eyes wide. I think I heard something that I really shouldn’t just ignore.
“You used that function? “Then you moved me…?”
Instead of answering, the manager just smiled strangely. At that smile, Seo-ra’s mind began to spin furiously.
The manager said he had already moved himself. However, he finds himself face to face with the manager in the exact same place he always saw in his dreams.
So where did he move himself?
“…If I moved, does that mean this isn’t a dream?”
〖“Yes.”〗
“You’re not a nine-tailed fox disguised…?”
〖“No matter how much my will is in it, summoned beasts cannot enter this mansion. “Excluding me, only you can do it, Seo-ra.”〗
“Then, if it’s not your dream or the nine-tailed fox, then you…”
Seo-ra’s hand went to the manager’s cheek. Seeing my hand shaking badly, he gently cupped my wrist and rubbed my cheek against his palm.
The first thing I felt was a soft sensation. Instead of the hot body temperature typical of animals, the palm was filled with a body temperature identical to that of a human.
“Are you real and not a fantasy? “Are you really in front of me?”
〖”okay. “I called you to the living, breathing space.”〗
Ah.
After hearing the manager’s answer, Seo-ra realized why he felt particularly unfamiliar.
It was unfamiliar because I was seeing him with my own eyes in reality, not in a dream or fantasy.
This is my first time seeing him truly alive like this.
“….”
Seora suddenly stood up and hugged his neck tightly.
I didn’t realize it when I was crying so hard, but the feeling of our bodies touching through the hem of my thin shirt definitely felt more real than usual.
My heart is pounding. The sound of her heart, which always made her flutter, could be heard more clearly than ever.
Oh, I was really touching him.
“I always wanted to meet you.”
〖“Me too.”〗
“I always wanted to touch you.”
〖“Me too, Seo-ra.”〗
“We finally met.”
Seo-ra hugged his shoulder and back as if she didn’t want to fall. The manager’s friendly hand slowly tapped my shoulder. My chest felt tight.
“I finally met you after dying five times.”
The hand that had been quietly moving as if comforting me flinched and stopped. Seo-ra, who had been burying her face in his shoulder, raised her head.
Five deaths. His face was stiff, still unable to escape from it.
Seo-ra quietly stroked his cheek.
Did you say that my five deaths left a trauma to him? I’m sorry, but Seo-ra was willing to go through that trauma. As long as that remains, there is no way the manager will let go of him.
At least, I hope that the burden on my heart will remain until he realizes that he does not just care about me, but loves me.
Anyway, once I realize love, it won’t leave my side even if the trauma disappears.
“I’m glad to get to know you better.”
Seo-ra smiled brightly, cupping both cheeks of the manager.
In order to more surely steal the heart of the person who already loves her. To shake him even more because he is insensitive to emotions.
He was completely distracted by her desire and couldn’t even blink. I don’t know how I can’t hide the fact that I’m in love so much when I don’t even notice my own feelings.
Lovely person. A compassionate person.
When he touched the soft lips with his thumb, the manager’s back trembled. The large hand holding my shoulder gave me strength. Seo-ra clearly saw the manager’s gaze reflexively fall on her lips.
But instead of meeting his expectations, she buried her face in his broad, strong shoulder.
The long breath he let out tickled the back of her neck. I don’t know if it was disappointment or something, but hands wandered around my back.
Seo-ra bit her lip tightly, feeling like she was about to laugh. Even though not a single word was exchanged, it was clearly visible that the manager was feeling embarrassed and disappointed for no reason.
Still, Seo-ra didn’t say a word.
Because I didn’t want him to tell me what he was feeling. I wanted him to realize it himself and come to terms with it.
No matter how long it takes, you will realize it someday. It would be very endearing to see the manager slowly realize love.
Seora could have waited as long as he wanted for this.
