Chapter 774 – #163_Seoul and the Witch
#768
One.
Kyobo Book Center’s Gwanghwamun main store’s La Novel corner.
The two men head to the bookstore to buy a new light novel.
In today’s world, you can buy just one book by tapping your smartphone at home.
The disregard for other people’s tastes and the contempt and hatred that pours toward subculture culture have turned otaku who roam offline bookstores into natural monuments.
Now, it is a desolate world where you can’t see ‘colleagues’ unless it’s an event comparable to Seoul Comics.
Man A with long bangs covering his eyes muttered.
“Certainly, it takes a lot of courage for a little girl to deal with a cashier with a book with a bare cover. Even more so if you want to use discount coupons and earn points.”
“Ah, since it’s just the two of us, can’t we do it?”
B smiled at A’s self-talk.
In his hand was the two’s favorite work, the light novel.
“Even so, it’s an off-promotion event where you can buy limited edition figures in addition to giving out bromides, so there’s only so many people.”
“Isn’t that the number of scum who are more conscious of public opinion than love? Really, they’re just pathetic people. If you gave me divine powers, I would build a whole world like this.”
A, muttering as usual, waited for an answer from his close friend and comrade B.
If it were him, he would always put a proper chooimsae in these useless self-talk.
“Mr. B?”
“…….”
However, B just stands still with his mouth open without any answer.
The light novel in his hand falls powerlessly.
“What, did you suddenly recall your previous life?”
Thinking that he was playing a trivial joke again, A smiled.
However, B said in a trembling voice that it was hard to believe it was a joke.
“She is very, very, very pretty.”
“What?”
At B’s answer, A crumpled his face.
“Hey B, do you want to come back to reality now? Where did our determination and commitment go?”
“… Look at you too.”
“I won’t look. I don’t understand why you’re looking at a 3D woman now.”
“Hey, stop focusing on concepts and really just look at it once?”
“What? Are you that pretty?”
A looked at B’s hard work as if it were annoying.
But no matter how much I look around, I can’t find the pretty woman her friend is talking about.
“Can’t you see? Where are you?”
“Can’t you see the twins over there?”
It was only when I focused closely on the spot B pointed with his finger that I could see why B was so shocked.
Two mysterious women snooping around the economics book section.
Both of them had a literal foreign beauty.
Black hair curled in an old-fashioned way, eyes shining brightly like amethyst.
Moreover, the mysterious feeling is further aggravated by the fact that they look so alike that they cannot be distinguished by their facial features.
The outfit itself is plain.
A navy blue skirt, a white shirt, and a black cardigan.
However, the elegance that comes out of each and every action gives off an aristocratic feeling that somehow makes you feel like you have to kneel down and be polite.
“Crazy. It’s kind of noble and cute.”
“Right? I’m glad you were born as twins. It would be so sad if there was only one such beauty in the world.”
“No matter how you look at it, you’re not a normal person, are you?”
“Isn’t it noble or royalty? Some countries still have them.”
A and B observe the appearance of the two as if possessed.
The two of them were talking lively while lifting the bookshelf.
I couldn’t hear what kind of conversation they were having because there was quite a distance, but I could feel the heat from the twins who were conversing with moderate gestures.
“We are discussing something.”
“It must be a book you have already read. They must be sharing high-level comments from different perspectives.”
“I want to talk.”
“I’d rather die if I could just shake hands once.”
However, despite his cute appearance, I couldn’t approach him hastily.
The opponent is a beautiful woman who seems to be shrunk just by looking into her eyes.
The noble aura wrapped around him like a shawl is breathlessly asserting that he is a ‘different human being living in a different world’.
Super cowards who gave up their relationship with a 3D girl in this lifetime are not the kind of beings they can approach.
Someone naturally intervened between the twins.
What is surprising is that the woman, too, was beautiful enough to dare to be compared to her twin.
Her beautiful ultramarine blue eyes, like jewels shining under the deep abyss.
Her long hair, down to her waist, flutters like gentle waves whenever she moves.
Both of them had the same feelings at the same time.
“Empress…. There is an empress.”
“Something is scary….”
Unlike the twins who gave off a cute and petite feeling, they had cool eyes and a dignified mouth.
The knitted dress that reveals her body is the queen’s dress.
The white headband that contrasts with her hair is a charisma that can be mistaken for a crown.
This was threatening enough to destroy the option of “Let’s talk” That the two squeezed together.
If I stood in front of that queen, I would be frozen solid just by her gaze.
When she intervened, the conversation changed.
The twins take her side and confront her queen, who snorts at her and shakes her head.
A more heated discussion.
“What is that situation?”
“It seems like they are together, and if you guess from the shape of their mouths…. I think you are just preaching about the limitations of behavioral economics.”
“I agree with that opinion.”
It didn’t stop there, but a super-special beauty that appeared again.
Bright green hair that is hard to match, and mint-colored eyes that cool down to the chest.
Appearing with a bright smile, she gets caught between her twin and the queen who are in a confrontation.
“Elf… ?”
“It is a fairy.”
“Hey, isn’t it against the law to dress like that?”
“Calm down B, that’s a very normal Cody. What is extraordinary is the body.”
Her outfit is leggings that reveal her round hips, pelvis, and legs.
An overfit hooded zip-up that barely covers the Y zone stimulates the imagination.
Even that was not enough, and Mid, who raised his loose hood and asserted himself, was a size that should not have been in such a slender body.
As expected, she has an outstanding beauty, but the atmosphere is a little different from the beauties so far.
Of course, even though he seems a bit bossy, should I say he’s kind of friendly?
If I ask anything, I think he will answer honestly. Should I?
“Don’t you think this is your chance?”
“Right.”
The two of them nodded, gaining courage again at the generosity of not being kicked out with at least a look of contempt.
“The courageous win the beauty.”
“Let’s go, friend.”
Trying to talk to such beauties.
It’s worth risking your life for.
The courage to finally squeeze out.
As always, the two shared fist bumps and moved on to achieve their intended goals.
“Me, me, me, there….”
“Yes?”
“Ah, ah, ah, how are you?”
“Yeah, what happened?”
“Sister, see if you can see us.”
“Even a music box isn’t all-powerful.”
Are you sure it’s because you’re with a girl?
As soon as he speaks, 4 pairs of wary eyes turn to A.
It was a breathtaking sight for A, who had been talking to women other than his part-time job and his mother for over 10 years.
Her body temperature rises, her heart races, and her hands are sweaty.
B steps out for a friend in trouble.
In fact, due to the nature of the preferred genre, B was more familiar with this situation than A.
If it’s a love comedy, haven’t you seen thousands of episodes?
In this situation, being perceived as unique can make a lasting impression.
“I followed you like when I met a cute kitten.”
However, after the comment of conversion, there is a cold silence.
A fairy sister with a slightly open mouth, a carefree queen, and twins tilting their heads side by side.
When he saw that even his close friend, whom he thought would cheer for this boldness, was making an expression, ‘Is this bastard crazy?’, B felt the gap between reality and virtual reality.
But the die has already been cast.
Feeling the fear of being crushed, B spat out the rest without kneeling.
It was not an easy-to-understand excuse to talk to them, but the urge I felt from the moment I saw them, with the feeling of being free.
“Number… ! It would be an honor if I could accept it.”
Maybe laugh
Maybe you will get a contemptuous stare.
It reminded me of what I had heard somewhere belatedly.
Real women say that when they pick up a number from a man who doesn’t match their level, they get frustrated saying, ‘Do I look like that level?’
“Whoa, this is a pickup too.”
“Wow…. As Sharon said. You really ask like this in this world.”
However, in an unexpectedly friendly atmosphere, the queen took a step forward.
“It was a pretty romantic comment, but I can’t answer your request.”
Indeed, it was a tone befitting the queen’s charisma.
The elf sister, who was standing in the front, also covered her mouth and laughed.
“We all have boyfriends.”
“Ah… Yes! Of course you are!”
“I’m sorry. I hope to meet you in a good relationship next time.”
“No! Excuse me!”
“Hi!”
“See you again!”
Receiving a strange welcome, B seized A’s wrist and retreated on her wobbly legs.
In fact, it’s strange that such beauties don’t have boyfriends.
They also know that even if they don’t have a boyfriend, they’re on a different level, with little chance of getting along with them.
But what is this feeling of being relieved even after being rejected?
“Are you crazy? Wow, but you really ask that. All I saw was trembling.”
It feels like a huge success despite failure.
B put the light novel she had picked out on her bookshelf again, suppressing her still pounding heart.
“A, I think I will quit being an otaku.”
“What…. I think I know how it feels.”
“Ah, yes, this feeling….”
The feeling of going beyond the limits you set for yourself.
The problem you’ve been avoiding and the feeling of facing it for the first time.
In a world that had been dismissed as ugly, there was a beautiful being that no amount of sophisticated deformation could capture.
The moment I realized this, I had an intuition that the time had come for me to transform from a boy into a man.
“Will you follow me, A?”
“Of course B.”
“I’m thinking of doing some exercise. Would you like to join us?”
“Ah, even if it’s not the case, my older brother was very excited about doing sports together.”
The two men leave the treasures of their boyhood in the bookstore and proceed without looking back.
As such, the beauty of a witch changed her outlook on life.
