41 – 9. Why are you out there?

Liu Yan couldn’t bear to take a step.

I had already called him once, but I couldn’t even open my mouth again.

‘… … Namgoong Min.’

Liu Yan is always suspicious, does a background check and makes you uncomfortable, always smiles as if he is relaxed, and although he doesn’t know what he’s thinking, he knows his thoughts well.

The fortuneteller she suspects, observing her every day and recording everything from her behavior, tone, and personality.

He was struggling with his head wrapped.

… … It was the first time Liu Yan had seen it.

‘why? What does that mean?’

The words that the man who said what Mander said. Liu, who was secretly hiding outside the fortune teller, heard that.

It was the words of someone who seemed to know Namgoong Min well.

‘As far as I know, before entering the academy, Namgoong-min had no friends.’

There is no one I can call a friend, or even an acquaintance.

Her parents died a long time ago, and she was an only child who came to this academy after living alone.

Even so, it was surprising that he was smiling and walking around.

‘What I don’t know… … there is.’

The job of <big man> is absolutely not a form. The money she spent on Namgoong Min’s background investigation alone exceeds billions of dollars.

He hired all sorts of errand centers, bribed various intelligence agencies, and conciliated and bribed countless people.

What I got as a result was a document that could be said to be a person’s entire life.

‘You laughed in front of him too.’

At first, I was embarrassed, and the background investigation was more heated.

And Liu was sure.

bluff.

I searched and dug for cancer, but nothing came out.

It must have been after that day.

Liu Yan deliberately approached Namgoong Min.

‘I deliberately cooperated with you, talked a lot with you, and stayed close to you.’

Even if it was a bluff, I really didn’t know, so Liu himself approached Namgoong Min and tried to find out everything.

Her suspicions of Namgoong-Min deepened to the point where she had to come forward herself, and aside from her bravado, Namgoong-Min’s personal abilities were superior to those of anyone Liu had ever seen.

Boldness and determination to step forward when necessary, talkativeness and charm to bring people together, and above all, confidence in oneself.

Liu Yan was an opponent worth approaching.

‘It was like that in that mountain too.’

That’s when Liu got a clue. A clue to Namgoong Min’s divination, even if it is called a prophecy.

Without a fortune-telling tool, without any act of fortune-telling, I just stood still and suddenly realized it.

It was clear that the point was an excuse and that something else was being used.

so i inquired

‘I overturned it myself.’

What was I thinking? Why did you do that?

Why did you stop Namgoong Min who was trying to reveal his secret?

why am i… … Were you deliberately trying to keep doubting?

I know. I’m tired of doubt Doubting is tiring and annoying and disgusting.

So you tried to clear up Namgoong Min’s suspicions. That’s why you were trying to get involved like that.

But why?

‘… … … Oh, I see.’

I was in the maze at the entrance ceremony.

It was at that point when I knew the real Namgoong-min, not the Namgoong-min on the papers that I only found out through background investigations.

Doubting him… … It was fun.

Doubt, which should have been full of irritation and doubts, was enjoyable.

I feel like I’m the only one who finds out the true nature of him that no one else knows about, and I like realizing that he’s just an ordinary person with abilities and personality that are not enviable.

And it’s fun that I’m the only one who knows about it.

So I stopped all background investigations. Only Liu himself decided to monopolize Namgoong Min.

The fact that I was admitting to myself, the truth that I kept trying to avert my eyes.

Liu finally realized it.

‘… … Namgoong Min.’

Liu stopped thinking and looked away.

Namgoong Min is still suffering. Liu himself is suffering for reasons he does not know.

Doubting and discovering his secret, the truth he hid—

‘ah… … .’

──How fun.

Only like this, I can’t call that b*tch evil.

Having lived a life of doubting someone, did I become obsessed with finding out the secret?

… … Or is it because of Namgoong Min?

‘I don’t know.’

Liu Yan is alone and lonely. Her job and personality made it that way.

The overflowing money can be earned alone without the help of others, and the suspicious disease has prevented others from approaching.

But still, there were definitely fewer people who approached him with goodwill like Lucas did.

Why do you think only Namgoong-min thinks like this?

‘… … no. Maybe from the first time I met Namgoong Min——’

──This pocket? Hey, do you know what’s in this?

──Golden toad, right?

From the time she told me the secret she wanted to hide more than anything else.

Liu Yan must have had no choice but to care about Namgoong Min.

“Hey, fortune teller.”

“…… Liu, sir?”

That is why Liu Yan was finally able to walk to Namgoong Min.

Because he became aware of his heart and desires that he harbored for him.

‘It’s still the same.’

Activates Liu’s job skill, <Eyes that chase riches>.

In an instant, the entire fortune-telling house is dyed golden. High-end ornaments or wooden tables show off their monetary value through golden light.

However, in a space where golden light is prevalent, there is only one person without color.

She looked at Namgoong Min.

“Help me?”

“…….”

Liu knows that this fortune teller has more abilities than he, the evil b*tch, or the princess.

But even so, the golden light is not visible… … Maybe it’s because I can’t capture all of his golden light with my eyes.

Because it is such a brilliant and bright light, it is clear that it does not enter Liu’s eyes and seems to have no color.

I think it symbolizes Namgoong-min, who can’t see the end no matter how much he digs up.

From noble mtl dot com

Liu gave a twisted smile.

“Mr. Liu, I…”

“So, can I help you?”

“………….”

don’t ask anything No explanation is required.

Liu just held out a hand.

It was because I knew very well that it was much cheaper and more efficient to help like this than to ask.

So, Namgoong Min.

“……yes.”

took that hand

“It’s a wise choice, son.”

Because this choice gave me confidence that I could learn more about Namgoong Min’s secret.

Liu was filled with ecstasy.

*

‘Honestly, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t know.’

Why did Jisoo convey the message through Manderick?

Why don’t you come to me directly?

How did you send me into the game in the first place?

Doubts and doubts. And the question that bites its tail.

Namgoong Min, who was constantly thinking, gave an answer.

I don’t know.

‘But one thing is certain.’

My younger sister, Namgung Ji-soo, is in this romance academy by any means.

Even if it was just a note, the effort to find it wouldn’t be pointless.

“So, can I help you?”

“……yes.”

That’s why I took Liu’s hand.

Her wealth would be of great help.

“I, Namgoong Min-nim…”

“Eileen.”

“I didn’t mean to hear that…!”

“Help me.”

“…of course, of course.”

And I also sought help from Aileen, who didn’t know where it came from.

Now is the time to get help from as many people as possible.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“Lend me some money. I’ll hire people.”

“Hey, didn’t you forget that you already borrowed 1 billion from me?

“It doesn’t matter.”

“……Really? It’s me.”

Even as the money he borrowed increased, Liu smiled happily. Maybe it’s because it’s money for her?

“Yes, it’s good to hire people, but what are you going to do? Shouldn’t you know the goal of helping?”

“I’ll find a room.”

“……room?”

“There’s a room you must find.”

Liu fell into doubt for a moment when he said that he was not looking for people or treasures, but that he was looking for a certain room.

Namgoong Min was betting on a slim chance.

‘To be honest, I don’t know if it exists or not, but I’ll have to look for it anyway.’

But this is not enough.

People who hire with money may not know outside the romance academy, but they can’t enter the academy.

To do that, we inevitably need academy students.

Then what should I do–

“Here! That way!”

“Namgoong Min’s fortune teller is right here, right?”

“Let’s all charge! Forward!”

“……hahahaha.”

Nearly 50 students appear as soon as they leave the fortune teller with Liu and Eileen.

It is also the students who are looking for his fortune teller.

Originally, it would be the first thing to be taken aback by a number far beyond expectations.

──The story is a bit different now.

“I’ll check first!”

“The artifact is mine!”

“Hey! It’s not like cutting in line!”

“Everyone please be quiet.”

Namgoong-min’s voice is heard in a small voice among the confused students.

It was so loud that I wondered if even one of those crowds had heard it.

“…….”

“………….”

“…….”

“It’s good.”

The students become quiet as if they had made a promise.

Because it was a familiar word.

During the entrance ceremony, Namgoong-min leads the students to break down the wall.

His words had sufficient leadership and persuasiveness to the martial artist students who only remembered the appearance at that time.

Namgoong-min walked through the crowd that had become just as quiet as that time.

“I know why you are here.”

“You know?”

“Isn’t that what Manderick said?”

“He’s writing a letter of reflection as a representative right now.”

“And what do you want?”

snap.

Namgoong Min took the necklace off his neck, held it in his hand, and lifted it high.

On the outside, it was just an old necklace, but there were no students who didn’t know that it contained unusual power.

“That… is an artifact.”

“The rumors were true!”

“Namgoong-min really started the treasure hunt.”

“Artifact, of course you don’t want it?”

“want!”

“Of course not!”

“If I could only have one, I’d definitely pay it back!”

okay. Artifacts were too expensive for most students, even if they were the richest man, the Arthur family, or the princess.

If you jump into the gate after graduating, you will be able to earn a lot of money, but at least now that you are attending the academy, it is an amount that you cannot even dream of.

With the hope of having it, treasure hunting became popular among students.

“I can find artifacts with points.”

flinch.

The students’ eyes widened at Namgoong Min’s unconventional declaration. There were many students who blinked as if they had heard wrongly.

They liked to help each other out, but for now they were quiet.

Because all of my thoughts were focused on Namgoong Min’s next words.

“Of course, I only get advice from fortune telling, so depending on the individual, there may be people who can’t find it. Is that okay?”

“of course!”

“Can’t I find it?”

“I found Manderick, and of course I can too!”

“great.”

The rice cakes have been sprinkled enough, and the fish are flapping around.

Now is the time to put down the fishing rod.

“However, there are many people here, and there are few artifacts. So, I will give a fortune to those who do my favor fairly.”

“Me! I’ll help you!”

“Leave it to me!”

“No! I can do it!”

“My request is simple.”

Are you looking for someone? that’s inefficient

Manderick only found the voice and note, but did not see Namgung Ji-soo in person.

What if you changed your appearance? Or what if you can disappear or do it in an instant?

‘Of course I can’t be sure of anything.’

But if Jisoo told me this, of course you would have expected that I would try to find you.

Then, of course, he must have disguised himself in a different form or hid somewhere where he can’t be found.

‘So, find the developer’s room.’

This game is not for women.

And, as is usually the case with games like this, after watching the first ending, you can see the various CGs and character profiles you have collected.

In <Romance Academy>, it was shown as a ‘developer’s room’.

‘It was clearly set up that the developer’s room was somewhere in the academy.’

Of course, that might not work here either. It is questionable whether there will be a developer’s room itself with CG and character information at the point when it became a reality in the first place.

But that was the only possibility.

“Just find the secret room in the academy.”

“secret room?”

“Is there such a thing?”

There are no hints about the developer’s room. It’s just that the academy is somewhere in the setting.

However, since it is an important room, it must be hidden in some way.

“Any information is fine. As long as it’s information about the secret room, I’ll give you a fortune.”

“oh…….”

“Artifact…!”

i will do my best

Money, artifacts, connections. with everything I can

‘I’m looking for you.’

Even if it takes a lot of time and effort.

Because I am your brother and family.

sure to find you

‘I’ll grab you by the collar.’

Namgoong-min uses artifacts as bait to incite martial arts students.

Looking at him, Liu smiled incomprehensibly.

“…….”

Eileen looked at Namgoong Min with trembling eyes.
