Untitled Part 166

"No. It was good for me, too."

The problem was that I felt like my life was being threatened.

"I'm glad then."

Cha Hee-ra's face looked to be in a really good mood when I saw her up close.

Her crumbly hair and skin seemed to have gained new life, and the dark circles around her eyes had perfectly disappeared.

Her face, which had changed enough to distinguish between before and after, made me exclaim too. She looked as if she'd lost all her worries and stress in the world. It was as if she had been given nutritional supplements.

The Cha Hee-ra beside me was truly in her best condition.

"Wait. Let's have some breakfast and leave."

"Until morning?"

"It's not something extraordinary. I was just in the mood. Or should we leave after having breakfast and some light exercise, honey?"

She had the look of Bear Grils aiming for innocent animals. I quickly realized that I had to hurry and get out of there before becoming a valuable source of protein.

"No. I told you I'm busy. There are many things to do, though... anyway, you look really good."

My voice felt like it was trembling.

"I told you I was frustrated, right? It felt like a dark cloud was in my head yesterday, but now it feels perfectly clear. It's perfect. Really."

However, she had traded it off with my physical exhaustion and pain.

Still, I thought it was fortunate that I was with Cha Hee-ra in this situation. If I had been with Jung Hayan in a place like that, I wouldn't have been able to relax as I did with Hee-ra.

I would've been worried about whether she would trap me here.

At least, Cha Hee-ra didn't seem to have such strange thoughts.

'But why does she look like that. Don't think about weird things. Please don't lock me up. Fuck. Don't lock me in....'

After thinking, Cha Hee-ra stood up.

She kept looking at the place as if she was disappointed, but she had no choice but to move due to my request to hurry out.

"I contacted Blue."

"When?"

"About 5 in the morning. They didn't have to worry about useless things while you were passed out, but problems might arise anyway. And honey."

"Yes?"

"This ring is a proposal ring, right?"

"..."

"..."

"It's... similar."

Of course, I wanted to say it wasn't, however, I had an ominous feeling that I might just get locked away, so I had to nod with all my might.

I didn't know if she knew what I was thinking, but Cha Hee-ra was constantly looking at the ring attached to her left ring finger with a delighted expression.

I thought that yesterday's incident wasn't the only reason why her steps seemed particularly light today.

"But where are we?"

"I don't know. It looks like a dungeon. There were also a few monsters, although not anymore. Oh, and... when you say you're busy, is it about the Crack Land?"

"Right. I have to take care of that right now. The dungeon itself seems capable of opening without difficulty, but its sub-contents are lacking. I should go and handle the business. I've got a rough plan in my head, but properly executing it is another story."
