15 – Too many S-class girlfriends (16)

‘Can I say that I want to break up with you right now?’

I swallowed dry saliva.

A little no, I was quite hesitant.

I know that the only correct answer is to cut off Yerin and her relationship, but it was hard to say it openly.

That’s probably because Yerin was a child with a lot of scars in her heart, and she was just as anxious about her psychological state.

If the fact of her affair (?) Is caught, Yerin will surely be greatly hurt. Maybe she’ll make an extreme choice. That’s why, even for Yerin’s sake, she better break up cleanly before she finds out about this crazy relationship.

But how can you say goodbye in this situation?

Suddenly, Yerin’s left wrist flickered in her head.

Hesitation, stab wound…… Damn it

I can’t forget it.

“Ah…… I’m sorry, sir. I said something strange. I must have been drunk. I usually don’t mind a few cans of beer. It’s been a long time since I drank, but my body doesn’t seem to be able to support it.”

“Hey Yerin.”

“Yes sir, tell me. I am listening.”

“So that’s it.”

I asked, biting my lower lip.

Yerin just stared at her, smiling at her.

At that sight, deep in my heart, the feeling of hesitation swelled like a balloon.

It was really difficult and cruel to announce her breakup to Yerin, who was thinking about the future with her flushed face.

‘What are you really doing? Why are you so twisted? What should she say to Yerin?’

So many thoughts raced through her head. It got tangled up like her skein and couldn’t be undone. How should I solve the complex intertwined human relationships? The road ahead was bleak.

If I told you to break up right now, what choice would Yerin make?

She would be happy if it ended with simply expressing her anger and blaming me, but she couldn’t act hastily because of the scar on Yerin’s left wrist. Yerin, shocked by her, was able to pick up on her hasty choice. She had to cover her nose as long as she lodged it.

“Ha ha.”

“Teacher?”

From noble mtl dot com

I let out a short sigh.

Like a sailboat drifting in the Pacific Ocean, I lost my way.

Before I lost my memory, I was a real asshole.

What on earth were you thinking about dating Yerin, you crazy bastard?

‘…… If you can’t say it this time, will you be able to say it next time? I don’t think so.’

I thought about it rationally, not emotionally.

It is obvious that I will postpone and postpone it while making this excuse and that excuse.

Because the words of those who put off today’s work until tomorrow are always the same.

If you keep hesitating, you will eventually get caught.

The fact that you have four legs.

“… ….”

Okay, let’s talk.

I’m talking to Yerin.

Obviously, what I am going to say from now on could hurt you.

But if it wasn’t for today, I think I’d repeat my regrets and worries without being able to say it forever.

‘Let’s not complicate things. I just need to explain it well to Yerin.’

The key is to tell Yerin, who heard my breakup declaration, not to think of her as strange. It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s just that it’s a bit like dating her because I’m her sister, and it’ll be okay if you explain it in a way I can understand. Because Yerin is a rational child.

The feelings that Yerin feels for me are not love. All she needs is someone she can rely on by her side. However, she has no one she can lean on around Yerin. That’s why she chose me.

She just needs to let her know that she doesn’t have to be bound by a relationship as a lover.

Even if it’s not a lover, but a close brother and sister relationship with her, you can help as much as you like.

Let’s stay by your side and silently support you, helping as before.

“Yerin. Calm down and listen carefully. Actually, I have something to tell you…….”

“Oh, wait.”

It was the moment I was about to speak with serious eyes.

Something fell out of Yerin’s pocket. What has fallen I turned my gaze towards the fallen object.

“I’m sorry. Teacher.”

Yerin slowly reached out and picked up the fallen object.

It was a small cutter knife.

Huh?

“What kind of cutter is that?”

“…… It’s just for self-defense.”

I glanced at Yerin’s face as she spoke shyly with her red eyes watering. Yerin naturally caressed her cutter knife.

“As you know, teacher, my ability is cutting.”

Cutting ability.

The ability to increase the cutting power and durability of blades.

It seems like an insignificant ability, but the higher the rank, the higher the cutting power. A high-ranking cutting ability can cut even a monster’s exoskeleton with a knife made of newspaper. It’s a pretty useful ability, except for the downside of being forced into close combat.

“These days, the roads at night are dangerous, so I carry it for self-defense. Something like a cutter knife has a good synergy with the cutting ability.”

Yerin took off the blade part of her cutter knife as if it was not a big deal.

She swung lightly at the empty beer can.

Then her head split in half, very softly, as if it were about to split. The beer can, which had been cut in half, tumbled helplessly. I just stared blankly at it.

“It’s quite usable, isn’t it?”

“Do you always carry a cutter knife? “

“I love that the cutter knife fits in her pocket. It is lightweight and portable.”

Deuk. Hard.

Yerin repeatedly pulled out and inserted the blade of her cutter knife with her drunken face.

With a crackling sound, the blade was clearly visible.

A few drops of beer formed on the tip of the blade.

…… Is Yerin a little drunk right now?

A chill ran down her spine with a sense of uneasiness.

I tend to hit almost all my forebodings.

“Oh, that’s right. Teacher.”

“… ….”

“Teacher?”

“…… Huh? Why?”

“Remember the semi-fixed party I had with the teacher?”

As I was staring stupidly at a beer can that had been split in half, Yerin brought up a topic out of the blue.

A semi-fixed party?

For me, who only has memories of working as a disposable porter, these words were quite excessive.

Ah, did you get help from Yerin?

f*ck. Then it’s too embarrassing.

“Did I organize a party with you?”

“Yes. We often had parties and went around the tower.”

“As a porter?”

“What do you mean, sir? Are you a porter?”

…… Aren’t you a porter?

Ah, yes. Before I lost my memory, I was an E-Rank Hunter.

Then, to what extent were you able to do your part?

“You are a supporter-type buff awakener. How would you use a buff awakener as a porter?”

“…… ?”

“Sir, did you forget her awakening ability? I think you said that her abilities were awakened before she lost her memory, but that’s strange, isn’t it?”

I was taken aback by Yerin’s words.

A buff ability? What are you talking about?

“Are you saying nerf abilities wrong?”

“Nerf ability? What are you talking about all of a sudden? How much help did you receive from the teacher’s buff ability? Originally, I could only cut rocks, but thanks to you, I can cut steel.”

…… Nonsense.

“If it wasn’t for the teacher’s help, I wouldn’t have reached the D rank so quickly. The teacher also told me that he plans to see a D-rank promotion sooner or later…… Oh, I must have forgotten this because of amnesia.”

Lee Ji-hyun’s words suddenly came to mind.

‘I wanted to say that you can develop in many forms as you train and develop your abilities. So, as I said earlier, even if you have awakened a bad ability, if you work hard to develop it, you will be able to develop it into a pretty useful ability.’

Development and change of abilities.

I knew that too.

During my academy days, I tried and tried again and again to develop many abilities.

But despite my efforts, I didn’t get much effect.

So I gave up halfway…….

‘Could it be that I was able to use buff abilities while I was losing my memory?’

I’m a little happy about this.

Support-type buff awakeners are treated quite well.

Of course, it will depend on the efficiency of stat increase, but Yerin said that her cutting ability, which was only able to cut rocks, has been strengthened enough to cut steel.

This was pretty good. A fixed party should be available. In the first place, my awakening ability itself started at B+ rank. There was nothing to use because of the nerf ability, but the potential rank was quite high.

“You look very confused.”

“No, not that…” ….”

“Then I’ll go back soon, sir. It’s pretty late.”

“Really?”

I haven’t said goodbye yet.

Oh sh*t.

Because of the story about Yerin’s ability and mine, I missed the right timing to speak.

Should I tell you now?

“You were very rude today, sir. See you next time.”

What should I do?

“Ah. Come to think of it, it seemed like you had something to say.”

“I have something to tell you.”

“What do you mean? Teacher?”

Yerin tilts her head.

The way he tilted his head at an angle with his flushed cheeks as if he was drunk was very cute, but somehow that cutter knife he was holding in one hand kept flickering in front of his eyes.

The blade reflected the light and shone brightly, and the beer can split in half next to it seemed to be glaring at me as if it were unfair.

“No big deal. Just a little.”

“Teacher? Why do you suddenly stop talking?”

Yerin came a little closer with her questionable eyes.

All I could see in her eyes was the cutter knife.

Before she knew it, she was staring at the other Yerin from close range.

She just stared at me with her red eyes.

“…… I’m sorry I couldn’t meet you these days. From now on, let’s meet often.”

“Oh, yes? Really? Okay sir!”

Yerin nodded her head vigorously with a smile on her face.

Yerin’s bright smile was very beautiful.

…… Even during the Ganghwa Ryeon, I was dumbfounded like this, damn it.

I secretly sighed in my heart.

In the end, I only found out that they had four legs crossed today, and no one broke up with them.

Why am I so indecisive?

I don’t think I can handle this as time passes.

Aren’t you going to get really f*cked up later?
