Chapter 369: Resting Unicorn (2)
Her face was getting more and more crumpled by the second.
Although she was stepping back slightly, it seemed that Elena’s strange behavior was not visible to Elios. Instead, he looked to be proud.
He firmly believed that the reason that unicorn was coming to us was his sister.
“I-I…”
While Elena hesitated, the unicorn came over here.
Park Deokgu, who only looked at him strangely at first, was also flustered as the unicorn got closer, and I saw him opening his mouth.
“Phew. It really seems to be coming this way…”
“Is this safe? Isn’t he suddenly attacking or something?”
“He won’t.”
“I’m glad then, but…”
It was natural that I could see Park Deokgu looking at Kim Hyunsung.
Rather than listening to Elios’ words and judging them, he must be trying to listen to Kim Hyunsung.
“Yes. I think it will be okay.” Kim Hyunsung also nodded.
The expedition didn’t bother to stop or block him as the unicorn never showed any hostility. However, in Kim Hyunah’s case, it seemed that he wanted to be prepared if something happens.
Seeing him approaching me, he seemed to have decided that it was better for me to stay within his own comfort zone.
In the meantime, the Blue Guild members were showing individualistic reactions.
For some reason, Jung Hayan had the most complicated reaction among them. She was strangely anxious.
‘What’s up with her?’
As far as I knew, Jung Hayan never had a boyfriend, nor did she ever get involved.
Of course, I didn’t know everything about her, but given her behavior so far, there was no need to prove her innocence through the unicorn.
No, I could confidently say that even if she had proven that in the first place, there would be no merit. The present was the present, and I didn’t need or have a reason to care about her past love history.
‘But this…’
But all of a sudden, an idea began to stick to my mind. It was because I was worried about Jung Hayan’s behavior when I fell into a deep sleep.
‘Perhaps…’
In the meantime, I’ve had this delusion that she might have been doing something every time I was asleep, but that was only a delusion. I didn’t really think deeply that she’d be doing something.
For some reason, I felt that my energy was being sapped in the day when I fell asleep after drinking what Jung Hayan had offered, but I think she wouldn’t go so far.
Seeing Jung Hayan glancing at me, naturally, I began to suspect that the assumption was true. She made an astonished expression right next to me, probably noticing my calculating expression.
I was worried that she would make a fuss about having to prove innocence once again, but she didn’t seem to do that. However, before I could even say what to do, she started taking the first step with dignity.
From her point of view, this was to prove her innocence, and of course, her face looked very careful.
“I-I-It’s a unicorn.”
The tone was also unnatural. Rather, the unicorn, which came here thoughtlessly, seemed more surprised. It was difficult to explain in words when he looked at Jung Hayan quietly.
I couldn’t read the unicorn’s face, but he must be…
‘Wondering.’
He seemed to be wondering about whether or not to consider her to be safe.
I didn’t know what kind of thinking there is in proving the innocence, but now Larisa the Unicorn was definitely struggling with the reflection of a lifetime. Jung Hayan began to look more and more confident.
She was moving slowly, as if she had no hesitation whatsoever.
The unicorn, who looked closely at Jung Hayan several times, ended up nodding and began to push his head out in front of Jung Hayan, almost asking for her to stroke him.
There was no need to explain that Jung Hayan’s face brightened immediately.
“S-so cute… s-so cute. Look. Oppa! Look!”
“Ahh… yes. I can see.”
I was seeing it, but I didn’t know what the hell she wanted me to do. I could tell she was only happy that she had proved her innocence.
Of course, I felt relieved, too. It turned out that my delusions were nothing but delusions.
‘Right. She wouldn’t go so far.’
Of course, there was one option I didn’t want to imagine…
‘There’s no way she would go too far.’
Our Jung Hayan wouldn’t.
As I shook my head and looked in front of me, I saw Jung Hayan trying to get on his back, but as if he was reluctant, he moved away.
“Good boy. Good boy.”
“…”
“Unicorn, you’re a good boy, right? Come here.”
She called for the unicorn as if she was a little embarrassed, but he turned his back and started moving to the other side.
Jung Hayan’s face was filled with regret for a second, but still, she returned with a smile as if she thought this much was already a success. She looked like a triumphant general.
It was visible that she felt she had completed the pureness proof quest.
“The u-unicorn must be tired. Hehe.”
“Yes. He seems to be.”
I finished with a single stroke on her head to her satisfaction, but my eyes were heading towards the next unicorn’s destination.
As much as I confirmed that he was really friendly to this expedition, I had to know who he was interested in.
He passed by Park Deokgu, Hwang Jeong-yeon, and the Elune Knights and was in front of Cho Hyejin.
‘…’
I could see her turning red.
‘She didn’t seem to date much at all.’
“This is different. I am… er…”
She got embarrassed a hundred times more than Jung Hayan.
“I-I have a lot of dating experience… no, it’s not a lot… I mean, this is…”
Seeing her talking gibberish is a spectacle. She seemed to be confused as to whether to deny it or take it calmly.
Considering Cho Hyejin’s age, she must feel embarrassed that she has never had a relationship. However, apart from what she denied, she seemed to hate looking superficial to Kim Hyunsung.
She seemed to be eager to find an appropriate balance, but there was no way she could find one.
Cho Hyejin, whose ability to cope with such a situation was close to a eunuch, showed that the more she talked, the more she looked like she was collapsing.
“I-I’ve done a lot of things like dating. But I believe in premarital chastity… Yeah! Premarital chastity! T-That doesn’t mean I didn’t have experience… No, I have experience, but should I say I don’t…”
‘What is she talking about?’
“There is no need to be so embarrassed. I heard that unicorns like pure people very much.”
“Yes. T-That’s right. I am a little pure… so this is for that reason.”
‘Don’t detonate yourself…’
What was even more pitiful was that Kim Hyunsung wasn’t paying attention to Cho Hyejin at all.
It meant that she was making all kinds of excuses, trying to look good to someone, but that someone didn’t care about that at all.
Whether Cho Hyejin was embarrassed or not, the unicorn showed her a friendly look and continued to rub his neck against her head, and it was not necessary to mention that her face had turned red again. I even wondered if she might be humiliated that way.
‘Just attack him already.’
In the end, Cho Hyejin was a spearman, so if she were to learn horsemanship, it would be useful. Of course, Saint of Light Lee Kiyoung was always ready to communicate with the unicorn.
‘Oh, that’s it.’
I don’t know why, but his reaction was quite different from Jung Hayan. He seemed to be acting cute.
Anyone would see this as an opportunity, but Cho Hyejin was still busy rectifying her blushing face.
If I were her, I would have recklessly climbed the unicorn’s back and see. It was then that the unicorn got up and started to move again.
With a rather urgent expression, he moved toward this way.
Naturally, I was happy, thinking that maybe I would get chosen even by a unicorn.
However…
‘There’s no way that could happen.’
At that moment, Elios, who is nearby, pushed Elena’s back.
Jung Hayan, who failed to climb him, looked to have expectations of coming to her again. But it was the elven family that took the first step.
“Elena, try to stroke him once.”
“Ah… Yes… Yes.”
With a dubious expression, Elena stretched her hand, but the unicorn just passed by her.
“Pfft.”
The winner’s laughter echoed from Jung Hayan’s mouth.
“S-She must be more superficial than I thought, Oppa. R-right?”
“Ah… Yes…”
“Y-You have to be careful too. You can’t help it because of the treatment, but… she is not pure. We can’t tell what she’s thinking…”
She even whispered in my ear. She was lightly framing Elena, but I had no choice but to break out in a cold sweat. However, there was no way I can do something.
I had no choice but to nod at what Jung Hayan said, leaving behind the shocked expression of Elios.
In the meantime, the unicorn showed itself to be friendly to Sun Hee-young and Kim Ye-ri, and lightly passed by Yoo Ahyoung and Han Sora.
Seeing that he wasn’t interested in Kim Chang-ryul and other Blue men and Elune Knights, there seemed to be no pure men here.
I wondered if I really had a chance, but after reading his eyes, I had no choice but to step back.
‘Okay. I won’t get close, you bastard. I won’t because I don’t want to.’
The unicorn wandered around for a long time, and the place he eventually went to was…
“Ah…”
In front of the lovely returner.
“…”
Kim Hyunsung did not panic or blush. He smiled slowly and ended with one stroke on his head.
“That’s a cute guy. Haha.”
He even patted on his back.
There was a strange feeling of defeat on Jung Hayan’s face, and Elena, who was not even the target of comparison in the first place, still looked embarrassed.
It seemed like she was exchanging a strange gaze with Elios, but I didn’t know what they were talking about.
In fact, I didn’t want to know much.
The expedition members began to flock around the unicorn in front of Kim Hyunsung, and he began to shake his body lightly as if he felt happy.
“I don’t know if he’s saying it’s okay to climb, but…”
“Oh, try climbing on him. Or maybe Hyejin can try. I don’t know what it is, but isn’t it good to ride up there?”
“I don’t know. I think it suits Hyejin better than me… Isn’t Hyejin familiar with horsemanship?”
“I am, but… I’m good.”
“It will probably be of great help.”
It could be said to be an opportunity, but Cho Hyejin looked very embarrassed.
If she rode something like that and appeared on the battlefield, she would surely be mortified. While she may be a target of fear to enemies, she could also be a mockery.
“Riding on his back doesn’t mean you can be the owner of a unicorn. It would be better to try it. Hyejin, come on.”
“No, I… I mean.”
It’s a sight to see him smiling and pushing Cho Hyejin’s back.
Park Deokgu continued to urge her to climb, and Ahn Ki-mo, other female guild members, and even the Elune Knights rushed her to head up.
I was all in tears as Cho Hyejin’s face was getting redder.
“I’ll say it once again, but I think that… I will definitely be rejected. It’s not what you all think.”
“Isn’t it a good idea to give it a try?”
“I will definitely be r-rejected.”
Unfortunately, the probability converged to zero.
After a little while, Park Deokgu just pushed her back, and in the end, Cho Hyejin began to climb on top of the unicorn with a pitiful image.
I thought about whether he would reject her by any chance some, but the Unicorn was rather snickering as if he was happy. That was when the two bodies felt like they were shining brightly for a while.
“Whoooooaaa.”
As expected, I could see Cho Hyejin blushing, surrounded by clapping expedition members.
[Player Cho Hyejin has acquired a new title.]
[Title: Perfect Pure Virgin]
[Title: Master of the Unicorn]
Cho Hyejin was 26 years old.
This could be called an opportunity, but she did not seem to be pleased with this at all.
