Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero - Chapter 126.1
“Hyung?”
“Yes?”
I snapped out of my thoughts at Mars’ voice and shrugged my hand off the sword handle.
The thought alone was too dangerous.
“Was just checking if I hadn’t forgotten my sword somewhere.”
Of course, it was not because of that.
I should probably reflect.
But then again, this was not just a small problem.
All the things I’ve done for Mars have been wasted. My time, effort, and money have all gone down the drain.
Don’t I have the right to be angry?
I was seriously considering when Mars spoke up again.
“What are you thinking about, hyung?”
“It’s nothing. Have you been doing well all this time?”
“I’ve been doing quite alright. I went on a journey and made some friends like we talked about back then.”
Oh, fuck. I hoped it wasn’t true, but now it was confirmed. Geez, this guy. Is this how it was going to be? No, I need to wait and see how it proceeds.
“Hyung?”
“Oh, yeah. What?”
“I can tell you aren’t listening. You’ve something bothering you, Hyung.”
“Just disturbed by some things I seeing you upto… ”
Mars quickly changed the subject with a slightly uncomfortable expression as we walked down the street.
“Hyung, are you really a Hero?”
“Changing the subject, aren’t you? It’s a cliché move, but let’s entertain you. A hero? Yeah, that’s right.”
“Why didn’t you tell me? Do you know how surprised I was when I got to hear my hyung’s name as the hero who defeated one of the Four Heavenly Kings?”
“Would you’ve believed me had I told you then?”
“Well…not really…”
“See? More importantly, who are those three over there?”
Pointing at the three boors looking in our direction from a distance, I asked. He seemed to have remembered something he had forgotten.
“Ah. I forgot to introduce my colleagues.”
“…yeah.”
I had a rough idea, but when Mars used the word “colleague,” a painful sensation shot through my spine.
Oh, dear.
But I clutched onto that slippery hope. They might have become ordinary colleagues, unlike how it was in the game.
Mars brought over his colleagues and introduced them.
I wasn’t curious, so I only took note of their names. The name of the skinny fish Kim Tae-yang [1] was Hyo-woo, the name of Pink Woman Part-2 was Christina, and the name of the pig of a human was Bomuro.
“I see. But, uh, that Pink-”
“You’re not trying to say Pink Woman, are you?”
“The woman with hair that incidentally happens to be pink is just a simple colleague of yours, right?”
“Christina is…”
Mars stopped speaking and approached Pink Women Version-2, taking her hand.
“She’s my lover.”
“…Lover? You mean, girlfriend?”
“Yeah.”
Mars nodded his head. Beside him, the second coming of Pink Woman lowered her head, blushing. The tanned delinquent and the bald pig snickered mockingly. Maybe it was just my imagination?
“What’s this neck pain.”
Am I getting a cervical disc herniation at this age?
I should ask Katarina for a massage when I go back.
“Hyo-woo, Christina, Mr. Bomuro. Let me introduce you to my big brother. This is Cloud-hyung that I mentioned earlier.”
“Ah, hello! I’m Christina, Mars’ lover. I’ve heard a lot about you. You helped Mars a lot when he was going through a tough time… Well, nice to meet you!”
Pink Women Part-2 bowed as she greeted.
“Ah, yes…”
Next, the bald pig and the blonde delinquent approached and asked for a handshake.
“I thought it was just empty talk, but you really know him… I’m Hyo-woo, Mars’ colleague. Nice to meet you~.”
“Hmm?”
Although his tone and face were unpleasant, surprisingly, he was polite. Are they just ordinary colleagues? After shaking hands, the blonde skinny fish let out a sly laugh.
“You say you’re close to Mars, right? I’m quite close to Mars too. So, can I ask you something? Can you introduce me to a pretty girl sometime? I heard there are a lot of beautiful women surrounding every hero. Even your colleagues are rumored to be beauties~”
He licked his lips with a sinister expression.
Hmm.
“Guards, can you all step out for a moment?”
“Yes…?”
“Just for a moment. I ask you to do me a favor.”
The guards, who were puzzled, eventually understood and started leaving the guard room one by one. I turned my head to Mars.
“You should step out too.”
“Why?”
“Why do you ask? If your hyung asks you to step out, you step out.”
“No… it’s not that I have a problem with stepping out for a moment, but I’m worried about your expression, hyung. If I leave now, it seems like a very regrettable situation might unfold.”
“What do you think of me, dude? Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems, so just go out.”
“What? What’s going on? Hey? Hey-”
Mars was pushed out of the doorway by me and the door to the guard room was locked. Then I pulled the curtains off the window.
Okay. Now people outside the guard room won’t know what’s going on inside.
That should be enough for now…
