Breaking Up With the Heroine in an Otome Game

40 – Lucky or Bad (5)

040.

“What? Lost contact with Mateo and his group?”

Seong Yu-ra’s office.

Her expression became somber.

It was because she heard an unexpected report from a worker.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Suddenly, the user was in a panic.

I quietly observed Seong Yu-ra’s thoughts.

If Seong Yu-ra gets angry, she won’t end up simply reprimanding her.

Her cruel nature was so cruel that even the wicked would put their tongues.

“There is no regular contact and the emergency contact network is not available.”

“If you can’t be contacted, does that mean it’s not the situation or that you’re dead?”

“I think that’s probably true.”

“Ha.”

Seong Yu-ra sighed lightly.

Why can’t she contact Mateo?

Roxanne and Kim Deok-oh wouldn’t dare pose a threat to Mateo.

Moreover, they added two more people just in case.

It wasn’t a great power, but it would have been enough to cover Mateo’s shortcomings.

I thought that Mateo and the others would be able to deal with even if something monster-like came out of the forest.

‘…… Surely he won’t run away?’

No, no.

That can’t be true.

There is no reason to choose to run away in the first place.

Even if she fails a little bit in her mission, it won’t be to the point where she will choose to run away.

Then did something really happen?

Has something unexpected happened?

“What is the possibility that Roxanne and Kim Deok-oh defeated Mateo and his group?”

“Very low.”

“Yes, I guess so.”

Seong Yu-ra nodded her head alone without adding anything.

Mateo alone was enough to defeat two people, and I added two more subordinates just in case.

And even if you were really lucky and defeated Mateo and his group, it’s strange that you haven’t been able to contact them until now.

If it were Mateo, she would have been able to run away, and if she had Roxanne’s personality, no matter how evil she was, she would not have killed her.

“Oh, that’s annoying. First, let the kids out and search the inside of the mountain.”

“Yes.”

“Roxanne…… No, let’s leave him alone and send the kids to Kim Deok-oh to interrogate him.”

“I understand.”

Eventually, when Seong Yu-ra gestured with her chin, her servant bowed her head once and then slowly walked her steps.

When something unexpected happened, I got a little annoyed.

“I’m sure he didn’t really die, right?”

He’s a character that would be a shame to lose here.

“Monster, monster…… “It’s so strange to think that I was attacked by a monster in the forest.”

Is there some other reason?

Is she even someone who helped Roxanne?

If that’s the case, I won’t leave you alone.

Never.

“Wow, the hard work was worth it. “I heard it’s a subspace ring and it’s awesome, right?”

My eyes sparkled.

Look at this brilliant ring.

A subspace ring.

I carefully touched the subspace ring, whether it was gold or jade.

“The description in the Item Encyclopedia said that you can store items by opening another space, but…… “After using it myself, it definitely feels different.”

I looked up into space.

Above the empty space slightly before our eyes.

The black crack is cracked and cracked.

It looked as if a ray of gold had cracked in the transparent glass.

I threw a ballpoint pen into it and it went right in.

I was sucked into subspace.

‘In the game, it was just an inventory expansion function, but in reality, it was implemented like this.’

Differences between games and reality.

As the saying goes, it was only used to expand the inventory a bit in the game, but in reality, it was not.

You can open a space like this and store multiple items.

I didn’t know that this would have a wider range of uses than I thought.

‘Not bad.’

Using this ring, you can open subspace around the user.

As if the space was split, the space opened up in an almost straight line, and you could freely insert and remove any object you wanted through the gap.

‘It’s really nice to be able to get the item you want just by thinking about it.’

When you try to take out the ballpoint pen you just inserted, wouldn’t it suddenly pop out again through the gap in the space?

It can be said to be a really convenient feature.

‘Also, subspace can be opened anywhere within a 6 meter radius.’

6 Meters radius.

The ring can open subspace within a 6 meter radius of the wearer.

Anywhere.

‘Well, the speed of opening the entrance to subspace was a bit slow…… ‘Maybe it can be used for attack purposes?’

For example, if you open an entrance to subspace in a place like the ceiling and let the desired objects pour out of your head, wouldn’t it be possible to use it like a mass weapon?

Ah, of course, if you drop something from 6 meters in the air, the monster won’t move, but you never know.

Imagine getting hit with something like a bowling ball.

It won’t end with just a little pain, right?

Ah, of course, superhumans such as heroes and villains will not die.

Still, if you get hit exactly in the back of the head, you might faint?

‘According to the experiments so far…… Living organisms cannot be completely contained, and time does not seem to blur inside subspace…… The injection speed at which the object is ejected is quite slow…… I don’t know yet how much space is allowed…… Hmm.’

Because it was a short time, I wasn’t able to experiment with many things, but overall I was satisfied.

More than anything, I wanted to give it a high score for being able to pack a lot of items that I couldn’t normally carry.

If you have this subspace ring, you can bring a lot of dangerous(?) Items into the academy.

Considering the evildoers who will wreak havoc within the Academy in the future, this was something that could be considered fortunate.

‘Okay, then… ….’

I slowly turned my gaze to the other side.

‘Now let’s try leveling up.’

Soon, the relic called Moon Tears, which was attached to the nose of the sword, was separated.

After that, it was dropped into the mixture that had been prepared in advance.

This mixture was the items requested from Yu Seol-hyeon. It was made by mixing spirit powder, water of life, moon blessing, etc. That were delivered today.

It was one of the settings in the game, but it is said that if you do this, green light will erupt from the tears of the moon, creating a kind of enhanced state, allowing you to fully bring out the original performance…….

‘Oh, it really shines?’

The tears of the moon began to scatter little by little swarms of green light in the mixture.

It was stated in the Item Encyclopedia that if you swallow the tears of the moon in this state, they will be directly attached to your body.

If it were a game, it would have been done with roughly strengthening and clicking on the equipment, but that’s not reality.

‘But can I really swallow this? ….’

When the situation turned out like this, I was a little worried.

I felt somewhat relieved to see the gem sparkling as I knew it, but I couldn’t help but feel fear.

The fear of what if something goes wrong if I swallow this.

I hesitated for a moment, but soon seemed to have made up my mind and slowly took the jewel out of the mixture.

Thinking about the future, I needed to become a little stronger.

According to the initial setting, the original purpose of the Moon Tears was not to attach it to an object, but to use it directly by attaching it to the body.

If you wear it directly on your body like this rather than attaching it to another object, you will be able to demonstrate its original power.

Perhaps.

“Oh, I don’t know, do I really have to die?”

I swallowed the moon relic while muttering to myself the number one last words of a man.

And… ….

“Ugh, ugh.”

For a moment, I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit out what was inside, but soon I could feel an unknown energy stirring in my stomach.

A slowly pulsating energy swept through my entire body and soon calmed down.

‘Huh? Now, did it go well?’

Feeling this unknown energy, I carefully generated magical power with the intention of using the tears of the moon.

Then wouldn’t pure magical power be gathered at your fingertips?

‘Oh, mana control has become much easier than usual, right?’

I went to the kitchen and twisted a small knife.

Soon, when magical energy was injected, a fierce sword energy was formed.

I watched for a moment as the bluish magic power continued to flicker.

The sword looks much clearer and sharper than usual.

In the past, magic power and control were not good, so making sword techniques was clumsy.

But thanks to the tears of the moon, the magic efficiency seemed to have improved significantly.

I wasn’t a swordsman, but seeing as I could use sword skills this clearly, I thought it would be better to focus magical power on the arrowhead.

‘Do you think you can become a sword dealer like when you equipped a sword with a relic?’

A swordsman whose skills are like a dream to any ordinary swordsman.

It was truly a season that could be used only after extreme training in magic concentration, acceleration, release, etc.

But I was able to imitate it with the help of the artifact mounted on the sword.

And this time, since it was installed directly in the body, I thought I could use it in the same way.

‘Shall we try an experiment?’

I quickly placed the cutting board against the wall.

After that, a very small amount of magical power was carefully generated.

I tried to see if this would be enough…….

Oh? What, is this really happening?

Kwasik!

A small form of sword energy flew out and broke the cutting board in two.

Until the wall behind it cracked.

“Is this level of magical power release and control now possible even when using a different weapon?”

On the outside, this is an expert who can use the Sword Merchant! I think it’s done.

Ah, of course, I’m not very good at things like swordsmanship, and it’s 100% pure relic, so only sword dealers can use it.

What do you think?

If I want to become strong when I am weak, I have to actively use artifacts and such.

This isn’t a game, it’s reality.

If you want to quickly become stronger in a place where leveling up is impossible, it is best to get help from items.

“Physical energy consumption…… “I think it’s decreased more than before?”

Definitely, physical strength consumption has been greatly reduced.

A few months ago, I would gasp after using the artifact once or twice.

How hard did I try not to gasp when I used the sword technique in front of the villains?

This time, I only used it lightly, scratching the surface, but I was able to see that my stamina consumption was greatly reduced.

‘Besides, if you are directly equipped with the tears of the moon like this, you will be able to survive no matter how many times you are hit by magic, right?’

You will be able to absorb it a few times.

Although abnormal abilities cannot be absorbed, what can at least absorb magic?

Isn’t it?

‘I’m quite satisfied with this. The hard work was worth it.’

After laughing, I sat down on a chair for a moment and looked up at the ceiling.

‘Thinking about it, over the past few months, I’ve been subduing the academy’s gibbons, clearing the Yeongdeungsan dungeon, becoming friends with Yoo Seol-hyeon, farming items from Yeongseongsan, etc…… ‘Quite a lot happened.’

As soon as I entered the academy, I was able to gain a lot of benefits by running non-stop based on my knowledge in the game.

However, I also felt quite worried that one of my hasty actions would turn into a storm in the future.

There is something called the butterfly effect, right?

Maybe many things have already changed because of what I did.

‘A lot has changed, la…’ ….’

So far, I have moved at a level that does not interfere with the flow of the important story in the game.

Because I was wary of the story changing in a direction I didn’t know about.

The only thing I have an advantage over is information.

If the story goes wrong and the information I know becomes useless, too many variables could arise.

Then it will become increasingly difficult to respond.

It was so fatal to me.

‘It barely interfered with the important story flow, but a lot of things would have already changed.’

Whether it is a good direction or a bad direction.

A lot of things would have gone wrong and changed.

This is not a passive game, but a fluid reality.

‘Oh, now that I think about it, is that incident going to happen soon?’

Jin So-yeon’s ‘Stalker Incident’, one of the story events.

According to the content of the game, it can be said to be an event in which a stalker who has a crush on Jin So-yeon causes an incident and the male protagonist solves it one way or another and gains her favor.

‘If an incident occurs, I… ….’

I bowed my head and thought for a moment.

Not only would it not be any good if I stepped in, but there was a high possibility that Lee Si-woon, the male protagonist, would be able to resolve it on his own.

Therefore, in many ways, it was better for me not to step forward in order to increase the intimacy between So-yeon and Lee Si-woon.

But.

‘It’s a bit weird to think about Soyeon going through a hard time because of her stalker.’

When I imagined Soyeon going through hardships, a part of my heart tingled.

After all, Soyeon was my childhood friend.

I don’t want to see her suffer as much as possible.

‘Ah, yes. Wouldn’t it be better to intervene in the form of secretly solving the problem or helping Lee Si-woon? ‘I guess I can give the credit for solving the stalker to Lee Si-woon, right?’

I nodded alone and got out of my thoughts.

‘Oh, I don’t know. ‘First of all, I’m tired today, so I’ll think about it in more detail tomorrow, and then put my things away and get some sleep.’

After roughly cleaning up the suddenly messy living room, I walked briskly towards the bedroom.

But there I saw a sword with separated tears of the moon.

Well, the sword… ….

He’s quite a famous swordsman, but I’m not a swordsman.

To be honest, it’s good to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.

‘Should I just give it to Soyeon as a gift?’

It seems like I didn’t take too much care of Soyeon, and since Soyeon is a swordsman, she can handle that sword much better than me.

I just need to get a separate sword that I can use later.

‘Okay, I’ll give it to Soyeon as a gift.’

With those thoughts, I threw the sword across sub-space.

And then I lay down on the bed with a yawn.

***

Somewhere in Seoul.

“Huh? “Wait what?”

Vigilante narrowed his eyes.

The location of the sword is not known at all.

No, why suddenly?

“f*ck, you were training a mutt in the Chungcheongnam-do area earlier, but now you can’t detect it at all?”

Vigilante had a gloomy expression.

I can’t accurately tell the distance with this sheath.

Why is it suddenly not detectable?

It was hard to get here.

I just want to retrieve the sword…….
