Chapter 27 – The Comfort a Liar Needs
What should I answer
I shut my mouth at Lee Yu-na’s reasoning.
It’s better if it’s that kind of transformation.
It would be cool if he changed like the Hulk.
At least it’s better than sucking your milk.
“…”
Is it better to be ugly or to be milked?
Just an ugly guy vs a sneaky sucker.
I think the ugly one is better.
It could be bold
“No?”
Lee Yu-na asked cautiously as I smiled dejectedly.
I pointed out her blind spot.
“If I had turned into a monster, wouldn’t Park Joong-hyun and all the citizens have already seen it in Oak Dungeon?”
The reason I never saw the scene where I defeated her boss was that she could be so misunderstood.
But if I had really turned into a monster, I would have already been caught.
“Uh? That’s right. Then… Don’t you just have that characteristic? Like the ‘Hero’ trait, it becomes stronger only when it is in crisis, or the heroine becomes much more powerful when defeated by the enemy.”
I would be very happy if I had such a characteristic.
Would that be a concern?
I stopped Lee Yu-na, who worked hard like a detective.
The reason why I became stronger in the dungeon was not important.
“Please don’t try to dig out the secret like that. Please, please answer my question first. How should a liar be comforted?”
“Hey, it’s a secret. What are you hiding from me?”
“Not a big deal. It’s a qigong technique, but it’s a rather dangerous qigong technique, so it’s really only activated in times of crisis.”
“Oh, was it like that?”
My ability to lie is already one step above Lee Yu-na.
I convinced her of her doubts at once.
It was understandable that he would not normally use it if it was a dangerous qigong technique, and that he would only use it when the situation was unfavorable.
“Sorry, I misunderstood.”
Lee Yu-na was embarrassed as she brushed her hair.
“So, what about someone who is telling a white lie and having a hard time maintaining that lie?”
“Exactly that.”
She finally turned her attention to my question.
“What is your white lie?”
“It’s hard to tell others. So it’s a lie.”
“Um, that’s difficult. Is it like a secret skill?”
“That’s how it is.”
“You’re not revealing that for anyone else?”
“Yes.”
Reason I understood the condition of my question step by step.
“It’s hard to keep up with lies. But that’s for someone else. Aren’t you for yourself?”
To be honest, it’s also for me,
I pretended not to.
Lee Yu-na understood my concerns and pondered them together.
“That’s a concern because you’re nice. Because it’s luck It’s hard to lie There must be people who don’t mind lying, but you can’t stand that.”
“… Is it.”
Am I a good person
I used to believe that, but now I can’t.
A lot of lies piled up and he was doing everything he could to stay strong.
I pretend not to, but I may be becoming a villain.
“Because it’s nice, it’s because it’s nice. Bad people won’t tell white lies, nor will they feel sorry for lying, but since you’re kind, all of that matters.”
Lee Yu-na’s words were a small consolation.
“A white lie. In my case, the Hunter Association employees said that even if they looked fat, they never looked fat, but can I interpret it that way?”
It was an easy example. The severity was different from mine, and the nature of the crime was vastly different.
“I told that employee that everyone seemed to be getting thinner every day. He knew everyone was fat just by looking at them, but they said they had lost weight or looked healthy.”
That was a very common case.
“So I told the employee that I seemed to have lost weight recently, but I was actually uncomfortable on the inside.”
The empathy didn’t go well.
If it’s such a white lie, you can do it without any remorse.
Is it just that you feel uncomfortable? Can’t tell the truth
“I avoided talking to that employee. Because I was lying to him.”
“…”
“So sorry. You can tell that person you just gained weight, or you can offer to help them lose weight. I just said I lost weight and moved on.”
Somehow, the story gradually becomes similar to mine.
I listened more carefully.
*
“That person and I ended up getting further apart. He was a person I liked, but I felt sorry for him when he lied to me. It was uncomfortable to live with, and when I saw him, I remembered the visible truth and my lies.”
The story Lee Yu-na is talking about is a small incident, but it was an incident similar to my feelings.
“He didn’t know. He believed me He trusted everyone else, and everyone got along just fine. But no one could really get close to him. Since you’re lying, it’s uncomfortable to pretend to be calm.”
I,
Me too.
The truth of milking was a wall built between me and Yuna.
She’s ok with not knowing anything, but I’m constantly struggling to hide it.
It’s been like that since the awakening test in school days.
Looking at Lee Yu-na, in fact, I avoided her, not her.
It’s shocking that she’s [Milked], So uncomfortable with my truth.
“There was a person who was a little honest, but he was a nice person even though he didn’t notice. He told the staff he was overweight, and he was scolded a lot. Only he had no discomfort in dealing with the staff.”
“…”
“Think like that. Obviously, everyone lied with good intentions out of consideration. You’re not overweight, you’re fine. But since everyone lied like that, he knew he was bad, and he wasn’t serious with him.”
In the end, it was your problem.
Tell the truth and choose the direction that is comfortable for you even if the other person is uncomfortable.
Or hide the truth and choose a direction that makes you uncomfortable even if the other person is comfortable.
White lies were such a problem.
It’s a problem that started with consideration, but in the end, the truth that ruins the relationship between the two people. It was a question of who would sacrifice and hide it.
“I think about what it would have been like if I had been a little more honest then. Even if you can’t openly tell that person that you’ve gained weight, if you really want to be close, wouldn’t you have thought about gaining weight together? Instead of just avoiding and hiding it, shouldn’t I have told you the truth a little bit?”
It was a deep consideration for a fat story of an employee.
The reason is that the staff was really nice.
I’m so sorry and looking back.
“I haven’t lied much, so in fact, this is all I remember. Could it have been helpful to you?”
“…”
I couldn’t answer and was lost in thought.
In a daze, I recalled what she had said to her.
Freedom.
Honesty was the problem.
The truth has been decided, how far will you hide it?
How far can you put up with the uncomfortable truth?
As I was lost in thought, I turned her head away.
I looked at my expression to see if it was funny, and gave me time to think comfortably.
How far should I hide milking?
Can I keep hiding this and stay with Lee Yu-na?
Even if she’s fine, will I be able to stand it?
It’s so hard, but I keep shouting that my conscience sent me to hell is unfair.
How long do I have to ignore that sound?
I think of the secret I am hiding.
And I thought about how far I could confide.
First of all, my milking volume.
[Total amount of milking by Milking Hunter Chunun]
[Reason or amount of milk]
-Grade milk: 2,300mL
-E grade milk: 5,500mL
-D grade milk: 2,160mL
-Total amount of milk: 9,960mL
[Arachne Milking Amount]
-E grade milk: 8,500mL
[Total]
-18,460mL
“…”
This should never happen.
None could be disclosed.
It was like the sinful karma I had accumulated so far.
*
Then what should be disclosed, what can be disclosed.
[Milk LV.5]
[Cares LV.5]
[Nursing LV.3]
「Milk is great」
「Milk milking is peaceful」
「Milk is benevolent」
Damn it, everything is like this.
If you reveal even one of them, it will be a big hurt to Lee Yu-na.
It was all my sins.
I can’t reveal this pervert truth for my convenience.
I couldn’t make Lee Yu-na uncomfortable by covering up my inconvenience.
‘Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!’
In the end, it’s all talkative dorumuk.
It was me who was wrong from the start.
It was I who had been lying since I was given this trait.
I couldn’t bare it to be comfortable.
It was because I was shy that I kept away from Lee Yoo-na.
I’m close to you for treatment like this now.
That’s why I felt guilty.
I was a monster who hid a brutal truth inside, not outside.
“Whoa…”
It was right to be patient.
Let the conscience sent to Hell continue to live there.
He might as well die.
At least I knew why I was uncomfortable.
I knew why it was so painful to deal with Lee Yu-na.
The sense of responsibility that had been collapsing within me was reestablished.
“What’s the matter?”
As I covered my forehead and let out a deep breath, Lee Yu-na hurriedly asked,
“It’s Yuna.”
“Yes?”
“Thank you, it made my mind a little clearer.”
No matter how painful milking is, it must stay within me.
“You don’t look all right, do you? It looks harder.”
“No, it’s okay.”
“…”
She stared blankly at me.
I couldn’t make eye contact.
Covering his face, he stared elsewhere.
“Cheonwoon, if you’re in such pain.”
Lee Yu-na begins her speech slowly.
“Could you please tell me? If the lies you’re hiding hurt that much. If it’s that hard to hide a lie.”
“…”
“Wouldn’t it be okay if you talk to me and become a little more comfortable? I will help you. I am your friend.”
Reason or
It’s not because of you
Because it’s you, you’re hiding this lie without fail.
Because it was you, I didn’t want to find out about this lie.
Because it was you, I refused to tell you the truth.
I always wanted to be proud because I was in front of you.
Because you are good
I wanted to endure this alone.
“Someday, if it’s okay, if it’s really okay, I’ll tell you.”
Reason persuaded me and persuaded me.
Even if she reveals her truth, it will be after her treatment is over.
Even if everything about her gets caught, no matter what she thinks of me after that, let’s get her treated for now.
My pain in treating her,
Whatever happens.
