Chapter 278 - The Strongest Equipped with both Light and Dark (3)

It seemed easy to obtain thanks to the Hero Universe, but skills that dealt with the attributes were as rare as traits. It was evident in how surprised Oh Hye-na was to see Kang Shin-hyuk use both wind and fire simultaneously. Since it was such a rare thing, it wouldn’t be that strange even if it did affect something like a personality.
‘No way, one of the reasons you recommended it so much…’
-That’s right. Because of your innocent personality, we judged that it was impossible to get through the tough universe…
Kang Shin-hyuk felt his timidity and consideration gradually fade. It was easy to notice when he contemplated his actions today and the message she had shared with his friends.
‘No, what am I going to do with this?’
-This is beyond the judgment of the administrator. No way would I think that you would be reborn as a Casanova after giving up your timidity and morality…
‘No?’
Coming back to the present moment, Shin Eunah, her cheeks red, was lying on the bed in a light outfit, and it was then that he realized it.
“This, twenty minutes came just right.”
“Ha…”
“Why is this atmosphere already being created?”
If it had been him before, he would’ve run right away, but now he was approaching Shin Eunah, pretending to be calm on the outside. It was a surprising change for himself.
“Why a hotel?”
“I’ve been here since yesterday.”
“What about work?”
“I won’t.”
Shin Eunah pouted and looked up at him, and he noticed her eyes were a little red.
“Because of someone, I got depressed.”
“Well…”
She was clearly blaming him. It seemed like she was crying, but if someone else had done this, she would’ve chased them all the way to the ends of hell. However, she couldn’t because it was him. Now he had no choice but to trust himself and charge forward. With the feeling of a father trying to appease his daughter, he approached her.
“I heard what you talked about with Claire.”
He sat next to Shin Eunah and patted his knee. She looked disgusted.
“Another childish treat…”
“If you look at what you’re doing right now, you’re totally a kid. So, no?”
“I hate it so much.”
Despite her complaints, she laid down on his knee. He stroked her hair as he smiled quietly.
“Are you relaxed?”
“Yes…”
Shin Eunah was frowning despite her answer.
“I was very upset a little while ago, but now I’m mad because I felt so relieved just by you stroking my hair.”
He laughed at her honest response, and she looked dissatisfied.
“Are you going to call me a kid again?”
“No, I won’t.”
Still, it seemed like she had grown a little lately, but was the shock of yesterday putting her back into trouble? It had been a disaster. It was incredible even now that he had talked with Claire. Suddenly, glancing down, he noticed Shin Eunah was staring at him.
“Can’t you kiss me?”
“No.”
“Ah.”
Kang Shin-hyuk stroked her hair.
“You were told to think about it from a distance the other day.”
“So, I thought about it long and hard.”
“Is this the result?”
“Yes.”
Shin Eunah nodded seriously with a blush before speaking up.
“Would you believe me if I said I fell in love from the start?”
“From the first time you accessed the Hero Universe?”
“No!”
She yelled then, as if surprised by her voice, covered her mouth with one hand as she hesitated. She carefully spoke up again after a moment.
“I had a consultation with Claire.”
“What?”
“It seems like I’m in love…”
“…With someone eight years younger?”
“Don’t look at me with those eyes; I couldn’t say it!”
Shin Eunah complained again.
“But I never imagined you would be taken by Claire.”
“No, I went for Claire first. Somehow, it didn’t go easily because of you.”
“I hate you!”
It was not easy to close the distance at the start, but now it was feeling good. Shin Eunah tapped his chest with her fist. It was a blow that used mana, but now Kang Shin-hyuk felt the attack was soft.
“Anyway, listen to me. I’m saying you should listen.”
“Okay, I’ll listen, so tell me.”
He was able to hear the behind the scenes only after Shin Eunah calmed down. She was feeling more and more like a child.
“I was relieved when I later found out you were my grandpa. I instinctively felt that you were.”
“That’s right.”
The reason why Shin Eunah liked him was that she mistook her heart and the deep relationship with Anvil in his previous life. Rather, it was surprising that she finally came to such a conclusion.
“But I soon realized that was a mistake. From the beginning, I just liked you.”
When was it? When she stopped calling him grandpa? Probably from the time Kang Shin-hyuk was in his second semester, she realized it. Kang Shin-hyuk refuted her word, slightly frowning as he couldn’t keep hold of what she was saying.
“It’s your love for ‘Anvil,’ right? It’s not a relationship between a man and a woman, but more of a familial love…”
“It may be, too, though…”
She turned her body around and pressed her face against his stomach as if she were embarrassed. He tried to respond, but the next moment the bomb fell.
“With that alone, I couldn’t be thrilled like this…”
“…”
-Member, please don’t be silent! Don’t be beaten back! Now is the time to fight back!
Kang Shin-hyuk looked down at Shin Eunah while ignoring the message from the insane administrator. He couldn’t see her face, but he could see that her ears were red. She spoke in a whisper.
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t change my mind…I like you…”
-Respond firmly! Unleash the power of Dark Mastery! Throw away your patience and consideration and reveal your honest heart now! I hate this annoying woman!
It was even more difficult to respond because of the administrator. Honestly, the administrator was more annoying now, but if he said that, the admin would be outraged, so he held back.
“Now, I can’t call you grandpa…”
“That’s… Thank you.” A bitter smile came to his mouth. In fact, it was somewhat disappointing for him now that he was aware of most of his previous life. However, it was natural for a child to grow. Although the way she grew was shocking indeed, if she said she was completely free from the binds of her past… He couldn’t help but congratulate her.
“You wanted to be a good person, but you grew up really bad. Coveting a man who has a girlfriend…”
“I got permission from Claire…”
“You didn’t even consider my heart. Is there such a bad person?”
“Well, that… Sorry… Somehow, my mind was focused on only conveying my heart…”
Kang Shin-hyuk continued to smile bitterly and stroke her hair. Shin Eunah stuck to him, dissatisfaction and joy warring inside her as he continued to treat her like a child.
“Okay, then I’ll take it seriously.”
“Really?!”
In the end, Shin Eunah raised her head at his answer. However, she quickly turned her gaze away from his face. She was embarrassed by saying everything she couldn’t say before, and Kang Shin-hyuk flicked her forehead.
“Why are you avoiding me now?”
“Kh.”
“Anyone who feels shame wouldn’t be able to do that yesterday.”
“Ah!”
Shin Eunah smacked his shoulder in return. Anyway, it seemed they had succeeded in releasing her worries with that. There was still much to solve in their relationship, but that was a problem to be considered with Claire as well. Claire’s own anguish and determination couldn’t be neglected… The same went for Shin Eunah.
‘Well, she seems to have taken a while to distinguish between her emotions.’
He wondered what their relationship would’ve been like if Shin Eunah had sorted her emotions sooner, or if Claire had been less bold, or if his synchronization rate had been slower. His thoughts quickly became complicated, as he wondered how he fell into such a third-rate comedy situation.
‘Is it all the administrator’s fault?’
-It is common for the owners of Dark Mastery to blame others naturally.
‘I’ll really scold you this time around.’
-That is what I was hoping for.
As a bonus, his relationship with the administrator was gradually turning into something akin to chaos.
-But if I were to say something.
‘Yeah?’
Kang Shin-hyuk was still patting Shin Eunah as the administrator sent a sincere message.
-If you are worried about district laws, I would like to tell you that it has no meaning to you.
‘…’
-You’ve already become a member of the Hero Universe and are active on a cosmic scale. The system of monogamy isn’t based on human emotion, but it is an adopted system that is more advantageous in maintaining modern society. However, since Earth is already changing into a different environment and a different world. Even now, all kinds of laws are nothing more than illusions. The only problem you need to address is your mental and physical benefits.
‘…Good advice, thank you.’
-You are a member of the Hero Universe.
The administrator sent a really reassuring message.
-But after all, I want to burn all the foxes. If all of them were killed by Gaia…
By adding these useless words, he destroyed the trust that had just been built.
