Chapter 372: Lucky Day (3)

"I'm sorry, I couldn't meet you. I've had so many things to do. The report was delayed because I heard that you were coming back earlier than expected. In fact, I'm also busy sorting everything that happens in a day. I thought you would be okay, but you look even better than I thought."

"It's a compliment, right?"

"Sure."

When I opened the door, Lee Jihye immediately stood up. Although she was pleased with the feeling of having seen me after a while, she didn't dare say it.

Her appearance was the same. She still had a small stature and an outward appearance that didn't fit her age.

She recently looked a little bit blank, almost as if she hadn't slept well, but seeing that she was still holding on to her spirit, it seemed she had escaped the worst of the worst.

"Sit. I'll serve you a cup of tea. You must have been really surprised, by the way."

"Of course. I had an idea but never imagined it would really explode like this. What the hell is this... no, more importantly, why are you here?"

"I'm here because I think this is the safest place."

"..."

"..."

'She is a real trash.'

It was no wonder that I felt instantly speechless with the confidence in her expression. I already thought that Lee Jihye had a trashy quality similar to mine, but her actions proved to be faster than I thought.

It was obvious that it was safer to be here than to be at Dawan, Castle Rock, or Laios. There was a basic defense system here called the World Tree, and at least there was no direct threat, so here was the right place to pick as the safest.

What surprised me was that she felt overly confident. Her face without any shame was so great, even from the gaze of the Light Kiyoung.

"What's with that look? It's rude. You know how hard it is to live as an ordinary person in a place like this. The physical shock that can be felt like a minor injury to others is also the least fatal injury to me. You have to understand this much. Honestly, even if it were you, you would have come running here."

'I can't deny it, but...'

"You're agreeing with me right now, right?"

Although I flinched for a moment, it was natural to stay as expressionless as possible. I could see Lee Jihye opening her mouth, as if she thought this was the opportunity.

"Well, actually, it's not really just for that reason. At least I had something to do. If you saw dwarves on the way, you'll know why I am here."

"Oh. That's right. How did you harass them?"

"I appealed with tears."

"..."

"It was effective to use the tears while showing edited videos that were circulating during the Laios incident and the things you had been struggling with. Dwarves are simple. They actually get very affectionate. Of course, that wasn't the only reason, but perhaps the tears worked rather better than the gains or interests they would get. What do you think? This was a pretty good speech. Want to see it?"

"No... I'm good."

"Oh. And one more thing. Wouldn't I meet you quickly being here? It's easier to listen to it here than in a hard situation room. Hmm. I don't know where to start from... how do you want me to start?"

"Of course, from the beginning."

Right after I answered, I could see Lee Jihye Lee tapping her finger on the desk. This was the gesture she did when she had something to think about. I patiently waited for her to start.
