Chapter 92

### Chapter 92: How to Steal the Hero's Woman (1-11)

“Sigh….”

Seongsu-a sat alone in the quiet staff room, sighing.

It was the time when she would usually stop by the cafeteria for breakfast, but she had no appetite now.

Last night, to continue the game, Seongsu-a playfully hugged Seongsu-ho and laid him down on the bed.

After lying down herself and manipulating the screen, she noticed that it was unusually quiet behind her.

Worried that her playfulness might have upset him, Seongsu-a saw the young Seongsu-ho soundly asleep.

“Sigh… I hope he didn’t wake up in the middle or anything.”

Unable to resist, Seongsu-a hugged the sleeping young Seongsu-ho.

She had lost her family in childhood and grew up in an orphanage.

To her, family was a lifelong wish.

When she received a proposal from Choe Gang-hyun right after graduation, the thought of forming a family made her collapse on the spot and cry.

But six years had passed.

As the years went by, that feeling gradually faded.

Seongsu-a, who had always lived in the fantasy of wanting children, lost her composure and hugged Seongsu-ho without waking him.

Even though she knew she shouldn’t, she stroked his hair and touched his cheeks.

Seongsu-ho, perhaps because it was virtual, was only occasionally restless but didn’t wake up.

After a while, Seongsu-a also fell asleep while hugging him.

Even after waking up, she didn’t wake him on purpose.

The sight of the child upon waking seemed like an angel to her.

She was completely absorbed in enjoying the warm feeling until he woke up.

“Should I be honest? No… How can I tell him about what I did….”

In reality, Seongsu-a would never have done such a thing, and if she had, she would have confessed and atoned.

But the transgression in a completely isolated world dulled her sense of guilt.

“It’ll be fine…. And….”

Seongsu-a had no interest in the game until yesterday.

She just wanted to build trust with Seongsu-ho as a colleague.

But now, things were different.

“I want to do it again….”

Seongsu-a began to feel a desire to fulfill her longing for family through the young Seongsu-ho.

In the end, she planted the seed of desire in her heart and began to deviate from the path of atonement.

***

During the commute, Armonia kept replaying Seongsu-a’s actions from yesterday.

To summarize, she hugged me and rubbed me.

If Shihulk had done that, it would be one thing, but since it was Seongsu-a… I actually welcomed it.

‘Damn, thinking about Shihulk gives me goosebumps….’

[….]

If the hero kid threw me into a group of Shihulks for revenge, that would be one of the worst forms of revenge, worse than killing.

Anyway….

‘This is going better than expected, isn’t it?’

[Be careful. She’s a pervert.]

‘No….’

Armonia kept saying that.

Armonia, seemingly displeased, kept badmouthing Seongsu-a.

By the time we reached the staff room, Armonia stopped the badmouthing and started an important conversation.

…She doesn’t take jokes well.

Armonia simply explained how to travel between the two worlds.

Spend five weekdays here, and the remaining two weekend days in Ujusoo.

Adjust the time difference so that while in Ujusoo, the consulate’s time is slowed to 0.1x.

And while here, Ujusoo’s time is also slowed to 0.1x.

Twenty days in Ujusoo equal two days in the consulate, and five days in the consulate equal twelve hours in Ujusoo.

‘Okay! Got it!’

[If you have plans for the weekend, be careful to plan accordingly.]

‘Yeah, got it~’

I happily replied and entered the staff room.

The staff room was quiet. It seemed everyone was still out for breakfast.

I headed straight to my partner’s desk.

She was still using the partition for defense.

‘…Won’t she get in trouble with the principal or vice-principal for this?’

[She’s Choe Gang-hyun’s sister and has no blemishes as an educator, so it doesn’t seem to be a problem.]

Upon reaching the desk, I saw Choe Seo-hyun sleeping with a silly smile.

“Hehe… Huhuhu….”

“….”

Seeing her smile again, it seemed she was having a good dream.

…What does she do every night to sleep like this in the morning?

‘If she sleeps this well, she could just sleep a bit more in the dorm, right?’

She must have her reasons, but there’s no way to know right now.

While looking at Choe Seo-hyun, Armonia spoke.

Even if it wasn’t a rental or purchase, Choe Gang-hyun might have bought it for her.

‘But it’s not easy to ask. I might get picked on for no reason….’

I wasn’t close enough to Choe Seo-hyun to have private conversations.

Actually, if I brought up private matters, I’d probably get a beating.

I quietly clapped my hands and communicated.

‘Should I try a dream invasion?’

[It seems like a good idea. There’s a separate chair behind you.]

Since she’s asleep and lacks magic resistance, it should be easy to invade her dream.

However, her mental strength doesn’t seem weak, so manipulation might be impossible.

I quickly sat in the chair and performed the dream invasion.

..

..

As soon as I entered the dream, a grand party was happening.

“Die!!”

“Gahhh!”

A small girl in a cloak was running around, slicing people.

It looked like a game….

Fortunately, the girl in the cloak didn’t seem to notice me.

I almost got sliced too.

The girl in the cloak pulled off her hood and laughed heartily.

“Kya-ha-ha! Come at me! I’ll take you all on as the Grandmaster!”

As she said this, the teammates, who looked like nerds, knelt and bowed.

“Oh! Amazing!”

“Wow, I’ve never seen a Grandmaster before.”

“Awesome, I wish I could be like that….”

I couldn’t watch the whole thing and hid in the bushes, blushing.

‘Damn, the embarrassment is mine….’

She dreams like a real kid….

If it were someone else’s dream, I could laugh at the absurdity, but Choe Seo-hyun fits it so well that it’s embarrassing.

‘This is why she always smiles in her sleep….’

The atmosphere was similar to a famous game from my world.

A 5v5 or 3v3 team game where you destroy the enemy’s base.

I looked around to see if Choe Seo-hyun’s dream was in a game environment.

And my conclusion was…

‘It’s a game. Her ID is there, and even her KDA is visible.’

Wanting to leave this kindergarten playground quickly, I looked for information about Choe Seo-hyun.

Her in-game ID would probably be the same as her real one.

‘Her ID is… Chosohyak… She’s really into middle school syndrome.’

It seemed she combined her name to create an ID that fit her character.

‘From what I can see… she’s a character specialized in assassination and ambush….’

While gathering information, Choe Seo-hyun was giggling and making silly movements.

“I’m the Grandmaster, hahaha!!”

“Damn, let’s get out of here….”

Unable to bear Choe Seo-hyun’s pre-adolescent magic resistance, I declared a retreat.

..

..

When I came out of Choe Seo-hyun’s dream, a few instructors were starting to appear in the staff room.

I explained to Armonia while looking at Choe Seo-hyun’s back.

‘It’s definitely a game. I got her ID, but I don’t know the exact game name.’

[There’s a famous game in the world you’re in called Watch of Legends.]

‘….’

The mix of names must be a coincidence, right?

Seeing the number of instructors in the staff room gradually increase, I shook Choe Seo-hyun awake.

“Instructor Choe Seo-hyun, it’s almost time for class.”

“Mmm… Grand….”

Seeing Choe Seo-hyun look around with sleepy eyes, I thought,

‘Today will be a grand day again….’

[….]

..

..

And as I thought, it really was a grand day.

Again, I followed the cadets around for practical training and grading.

The difference was that (Armonia) remembered the battle locations accurately, so we could move to them quickly.

The problem was that we were still late….

“What about checking on other things?”

“…I’m sorry.”

“Sigh…. If you keep this up, what will you do if the cadets get hurt?”

Choe Seo-hyun was stimulating my stomach with her words and actions today.

In fact, she was right; I hadn’t done much.

My job was to ensure the cadets’ safety, not just grading.

Grading was just an additional task.

“Can you handle the cadets’ problems with that level of stamina? By the way… what’s your specialty?”

“….”

Of course, she wouldn’t know my information….

‘She’s asking now….’

[Your profile doesn’t mention any specific skills.]

When Armonia sent information to the Zodiac, our information wasn’t exposed, and it was said that I had various abilities.

But to me….

‘I don’t think she looked at my profile….’

[….]

Armonia seemed to agree with me and remained silent.

I maintained a stiff posture and answered.

If I showed any weakness, Choe Seo-hyun would pounce.

“I don’t have any special skills.”

“…Sigh. Well, Man-deuk isn’t Man-deuk for nothing.”

“….”

“You have to do your job since you’re an instructor. Try to build up your stamina at the training ground over the weekend. We’ll be working together, after all.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Then let’s go.”

Choe Seo-hyun, with a displeased look, started typing on her computer again.

Looking at the top of her small head, I had a strong urge.

‘Right now, I really want to give her a good whack….’

[Be careful. That might crack your skull.]

‘Right now….’

For some reason, I felt that if Choe Seo-hyun really hit me on the head, she could crack my skull.

I can tolerate being angry, but being scolded by a high school girl feels dirty….

Once Choe Seo-hyun’s nagging ended, I finally managed to leave the staff room.

‘Being an assistant instructor must be tough. Most of them are from the consulate, right?’

[That’s correct. None of the assistant instructors are from the consulate. Most of them have records of having abilities.]

But such a position is the best job for non-consulate personnel.

It can be dangerous, but it’s still considered a dream job.

I don’t really care….

Arriving at the cafeteria and smelling the food, it seemed today’s main dish was Chinese.

Another happy lunch was waiting for me.

Although my stomach didn’t welcome it….

While happily loading my tray with my favorite dishes, someone poked my back.

“Huh?”

“Is this a dish you like today?”

Distracted by the cheerful voice, I turned around to see Seongsu-a looking up at me, neatly dressed.

“Haha, I like it. Actually, I like almost everything.”

After a week of using the cafeteria, I found that all the food here suited my taste.

Honestly, the food in the Demon King’s castle and Shitra was also delicious, but it felt milder compared to the heavily seasoned food here, which was really tasty.

Modern humans are all about seasoning.

Seongsu-a, with a mischievous look, playfully said,

“Then you should have breakfast regularly.”

“Haha… I’m eating.”

“Hmm? I’ve never seen you in the morning?”

Seongsu-a playfully pushed the issue.

“Haha… I eat secretly.”

“Have breakfast regularly. It’s delicious too. Got it?”

“Yes, I will.”

“I’ll check tomorrow.”

Seongsu-a’s attitude towards me felt very different.

Just one day of opening up and becoming friends, and her attitude had changed significantly.

‘She’s really treating me like a kid now. It feels good, though?’

[….]

Seongsu-a, to avoid suspicion, narrowed the distance and whispered to me.

(Let’s do it again tonight.)

She said this, took a step back, and smiled brightly at me.

Looking at her, Armonia said,

Throughout the meal with Seongsu-a, Armonia kept repeating the same warning about her.
