Breaking Up With the Heroine in an Otome Game

43 – Why are you talking to me (3)

043.

Kkii Iik.

When I opened the rooftop door and entered, there was Seolhyeon Yoo, gently brushing her brilliant blonde hair and looking crookedly in my direction.

Judging by the way Yoo Seol-hyeon’s eyes were slightly raised, she didn’t seem to be in a very good mood.

But I just rhymed calmly, as if it was no big deal.

“Oh, what is it? “You came first?”

“I’m not good at learning today.”

Today’s menu is pork cutlet.

“I guess you don’t like pork cutlet? “It’s pretty delicious.”

“That’s it.”

Yoo Seol-hyun, who lightly interrupts my conversation, continues speaking awkwardly with her arms tightly crossed.

“So why did you call me?”

Do you think I called you to ask about what happened in the morning?

Yoo Seol-hyeon looked in a bad mood the whole time.

Oh, of course, I called you to interrogate you.

About half.

“You know. “What happened this morning.”

“What, you just said it as if you were defending yourself, but in the end, do you think I made the kids do it?”

Yoo Seol-hyeon frowned a little more and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but I just shrugged my shoulders and answered in a cool voice.

“No.”

“Huh?”

Yoo Seol-hyeon quietly blinked her eyes.

“I told you this in the morning too. I don’t think you initiated it. “I believe you.”

“Oh, really?”

“I don’t think you’d lie about something like that, and you’re not that type of person to begin with.”

The Yoo Seol-hyeon I knew was someone who could touch a child she didn’t like to a certain extent, but she maintained her own boundaries.

He was not so bad-tempered that he committed crimes such as having his children throw stones in his yard.

…… Of course, until he degenerates into a villain.

“Moreover, I promised something.”

“You agreed not to harass Jin So-yeon in exchange for helping you conquer the dungeon?”

“Yes. “I don’t think you would do something like that to Soyeon since you made a promise.”

“Hmm.”

Yoo Seol-hyun looked at my face as if I was surprised and then burst out laughing.

“How can I say this is absurd? “I can’t believe you trust me when even Lee Si-woon, who can be considered a childhood friend, is suspicious.”

“Ah. Lee Si-un?”

Although we did not have a close relationship like Soyeon and I, Seolhyeon Yoo and Siwoon Lee could be considered childhood friends.

‘…… Rather, isn’t that why I doubted you more?’

As Lee Si-un said, you have a record, a record.

But he didn’t necessarily spit it out.

Because I scratched it for no reason.

“But you seem strangely confident in what you say. Is it because of your abilities?”

“Not necessarily.”

I do not simply blindly believe in Yoo Seol-hyun’s character settings.

Based on everything I have seen while hanging out with her for the past several months, I believe in her human inclinations and personality as Yoo Seol-hyeon.

The Yoo Seol-hyeon I know would never do such a thing.

No, actually… ….

The bigger reason was that they already knew that the culprit was someone else.

“I just thought that the person I’ve seen wouldn’t do something like that.”

“hehehe. “I don’t know how much they say that when they see me.”

Including past lives, we’ve been seeing each other for quite some time, I guess?

“Anyway, the reason I called you is because I have a favor to ask and a responsibility for.”

“Responsibility?”

“Uh.”

I nodded firmly.

Yoo Seol-hyun’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

It seems he doesn’t like the word “Responsibility.”

“What responsibility?”

“You know, there was a rock thrown at Soyeon’s house. “That’s what I’m talking about.”

“You said I didn’t do it?”

“Of course you didn’t do it.”

I paused for a moment and suddenly got lucky.

“There is a high possibility that the girl in your group did it.”

“Oh my? “Are you sure?”

“I’ll ask the opposite question. “You actually had a guess, right?”

“Well? “Because there are more than one kid who likes Lee Si-woon.”

“Don’t act like a fool. “Even if she had a crush on Lee Si-un in the first place, there are few kids in our class who would do something so drastic.”

“… ….”

There weren’t many girls in my class who had such an extreme personality that they went to the house in the middle of the night and threw rocks at the boy they had a crush on because he liked another girl.

And there was a girl with that kind of personality who belonged to Yoo Seol-hyeon’s group.

“Kang Yoo-jeong. “The kid who threw the rock was probably Kang Yu-jeong.”

“… ….”

“You didn’t have any evidence that Kang Yoo-jeong was the culprit, and she didn’t see any good in revealing the secrets within the group, so wasn’t she just pretending not to know?”

“…… Hmm.”

Yoo Seol-hyeon just gently shrugged her shoulders without adding any excuses.

“So what do you want from me?”

“Take responsibility for yourself.”

“How exactly?”

“All you have to do is question Kang Yoo-jeong. “Even if there is no evidence, if you question me strongly, I will eventually have no choice but to confess.”

When Yoo Seol-hyeon heard those words, the corner of his mouth slowly lifted.

“Why me?”

He adds abruptly.

“…… “What if you answer?”

“That’s a bit of a shameless answer, perhaps because of you.”

How is your conscience?

“Well, if Kang Yoo-jeong really did something like that, I would feel very sorry as her friend… ….”

She looked at my face, her tail hanging, and then she finally opened her mouth. He seemed curious about how I would react.

“Apart from that, should I really take responsibility? It wasn’t something I told him to do, it was something he did on his own? Just because she hangs out with him and me…… I?”

They say it was Yoo Seol-hyeon’s group or faction, but to be honest, Kang Yu-jeong was one of Yoo Seol-hyeon’s many friends(?).

It is an individual and an individual.

Just because Kang Yoo-jeong did something bad, she might not have to take responsibility for Yoo Seol-hyeon.

…… Really, if only he had no involvement at all.

“You said I knew but pretended not to know, but honestly, I didn’t think Yoo-jeong was really the culprit? “It was true that she was a bit suspicious, but she seemed suspicious of her friend for no reason, so she didn’t bother to ask.”

Hey, since when did you think of the kids in your group as friends?

“But don’t you think it’s a bit unfair to blame me?”

Soon, it was Yoo Seol-hyeon who finished speaking with a smile.

From Yoo Seol-hyeon’s perspective, it probably didn’t matter whether she interrogated Kang Yu-jeong or not, but she was curious about how I would respond and realized that she was doing it for no reason.

As expected, that mischievous personality is not going anywhere.

Anyway, if you say nice things, they won’t listen.

“Of course you should take responsibility.”

“Why?”

“It’s the seed you sowed.”

Yoo Seol-hyeon tilts her head for a moment.

“Me?”

“That’s right, you secretly encouraged bad rumors to spread about Soyeon. “The person who was most influenced by that was Kang Yu-jeong.”

“Isn’t it just a guess?”

“You promised me that you wouldn’t bother Soyeon again.”

“Ah. So, I was cracking down on it so that no more bad rumors would spread because of me.”

“I guess Kang Yoo-jeong must have felt repulsed because you suddenly blocked the topic that you had been subtly encouraging?”

“It seems like such a vague idea.”

That’s because there is someone else who motivated Kang Yu-jeong.

“Yoo Seol-hyeon. “You have a lot to exchange with me in the future, right?”

Based on information about the future, there was a lot to do with Yoo Seol-hyeon.

You may be thinking that you will be able to receive important information like when you conquered the Yeongdeungsan dungeon.

“I think the basis of everything is trust. “You made a deal on the condition that you wouldn’t bother Soyeon, but now Soyeon has suffered damage because of what you did in the past.”

“…… “Um, whatever.”

“But if you talk like this as if it has nothing to do with you, I think it will be difficult for me to trust you.”

“… ….”

Yoo Seol-hyeon fiddles with her sleeves for a moment, then chuckles.

“hehehe. Okay. Okay, what are you doing with such a straight face?”

“I’ve never looked at you with a straight face.”

“What…… “I would say that too.”

Yoo Seol-hyeon smiles softly.

“You take care of Jin So-yeon a lot?”

“Of course. “He’s a childhood friend.”

“She’s also my ex-girlfriend.”

It’s useless.

“Anyway, can we interrogate Kang Yu-jeong and get her confession? And then, should I hand it over to the police?”

“There’s no need for that, just have Soyeon apologize separately. “After all, the real culprit is different.”

“The real culprit?”

“Actually, it is a bit ambiguous to call him the real culprit, but there is a separate culprit who secretly induced Kang Yu-jeong to do so. “We have to catch him.”

In the game, there was one guy who tried to make Soyeon increasingly dependent on him by taking advantage of the kids who had a bad feeling about her and then slowly approaching her and saying that he would find the kids who were bullying her.

I couldn’t help but feel like a shady stalker.

The idea of tormenting the child you like, impoverishing him and making him dependent on you is something a normal person would never think of.

“That’s kind of interesting. Can we just interrogate Yu-jeong and find out the real culprit?”

“No, Kang Yu-jeong probably doesn’t know.”

“Huh? Why?”

“That guy is not stupid. “It’s probably just a case of inducing you knowingly or unknowingly.”

The emotion of hatred is easily attracted by gravity.

With just a slight push from behind, one could fall endlessly due to gravity, like a person falling off a cliff. This was the true form of the emotion called hatred.

“You must have known that Kang Yu-jeong really hates So-yeon. Moreover, these days, they have been cracking down on you to stop you from saying strange things about Soyeon, so you must have been quite dissatisfied. And that guy must have taken advantage of that to keep nudging me.”

“Hmm.”

“But…… Well, it’s just a guess for now. I’m not sure. So, I’m trying to get evidence so I can be sure.”

“You said you had a favor to ask me, but is it related to that?”

“Uh. “Can you just introduce me to a place like a good detective agency?”

“…… Good. “I don’t know what you’re going to do, but I won’t bother to ask.”

I have no intention of doing anything particularly strange.

I just want to secretly secure a few things from his house.

“So who is the culprit who led Yu-jeong?”

“I think it might be Choi Chang-won.”

“Choi Chang-won? Him? “Didn’t you tell Jin So-yeon this morning that you would help her find the culprit?”

“Yes. “It was like that.”

Choi Chang-won is ranked 34th among freshmen.

He was a normal guy on the outside, but he was rotten and rotten on the inside.

Ah, of course, I am fully aware that games and reality can be different.

So, I’m thinking of hiring a criminal investigation agency to make sure that this guy is the criminal.

The game didn’t find the culprit this way, but whatever.

Let’s catch it quickly without wasting time.

‘Anyway, Yoo Seol-hyeon, it doesn’t seem like you really doubt what I said.’

I think it’s because people think they have the ability to predict the future. Thanks to that, I didn’t have to persuade them one by one, so it was nice.

“If we secure evidence that Choi Chang-won is the culprit, we will interrogate him with Lee Si-woon.”

“Lee Si-un? Why with him? “Isn’t it enough for you on your own?”

He’s ranked 34th?

What should I do if he goes on a rampage?

I wanted to just report it to the police, but since evidence would have been obtained illegally, I could have been interrogated.

Also, if you report it to the academy or the police, you won’t get a great picture of Lee Si-woon catching the criminal.

I’m preparing to increase the intimacy between Lee Si-woon and So-yeon.

“Lee Jin-hyuk, come to think of it, when you said you would help in the morning, you made sure to mention that Lee Si-woon would also be helping, right?”

“Oh, was that so?”

“Why do you want to be with Lee Si-woon so much?”

“…… Hmm.”

I hesitated for a moment.

Can I be honest?

But anyway, as the work progressed, Yoo Seol-hyeon would find out what my intentions were.

It might not have been a bad idea to tell them first that they were going to get caught anyway.

‘Well, Yoo Seol-hyun and Lee Si-woon are engaged in a similar relationship, but they are not serious about each other, so if you think about the future, it would be okay to talk about it at this point.’

They both know very well that they do not think rationally.

Isn’t Lee Si-woon openly flirting with So-yeon to begin with?

The reason why Yoo Seol-hyeon also harassed So-yeon was not because she was her fiancee, but because she was hurt by her pride that Lee Si-woon, who had no interest in her, fell in love with a commoner.

Of course, it is only a superficial relationship, but if your fiancé is dating another woman, you may feel bad in many ways, but at this point, there was a need to mention it directly to Yoo Seol-hyun at least once.

“Honestly, it may be a bit like that from your perspective, but let me just say that Soyeon and Lee Si-woon…….”

I scratched my chin for a moment and then carefully removed my lips.

“…… Should I say that I want to help things get better?”

“What?”

Yoo Seol-hyeon asked back as if she couldn’t understand.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like I was in a bad mood.

Pure curiosity and curiosity were evident.

“Why you?”

Yu Seol Hyun tilted his head slightly and tilted his head.

I felt like I was wondering why I was doing such a thing.

Well, it’s worth it.

First of all, he was my ex-boyfriend.

What should I say?

It’s a bit unfair to just say, ‘Actually, it doesn’t matter because it’s a fake relationship.’

Because you won’t believe it easily. It’s also less persuasive.

Ah, yes.

First of all, shall I say this?

This excuse works quietly, I guess.

“Because I liked Soyeon a lot.”

I muttered slowly, pretending to be somewhat bitter.

“So, seeing Soyeon dating a good man… ….”

Ends the sentence with a bitter smile.

“…… “I wanted to quickly throw away this foolish attachment.”

More, rattling.

‘Uh, huh?’

What is it?

I think I just heard a noise from the door?

I don’t think Yoo Seol-hyun heard it.

Is it just my imagination?
