My Second Life in Another World - Chapter 402: Unsure

[The Incarnation ‘Yoo Sang-ah’ has confirmed your statement to be true.]

‘I knew she would use that skill,’ Dok-ja thought as even if Sang-ah was the same as she was before the scenarios, she had indeed changed, but this side of her wasn’t shown to everyone, so the fact that she used that skill meant that…

“I see,” Sang-ah had already stopped seeing Dok-ja as a trusted group member like she did before.

‘Well, hopefully, Haru-ssi can handle her and the Nebula behind her,’ Dok-ja thought as this was a good opportunity for him since this would keep Haru busy giving him more time to move about and do what he wanted.

‘Hmm, now that I remember it…’ Dok-ja thought as he sent a message to Bi-hyung on the communication channel.

Bi-Hyung – What?

Kim Dok-ja – Check and sort out all of the constellations on your channel on the basis of who had donated the most amount of coins to Haru-ssi and his group.

Bi-hyung –Are you fucking serious? There are 9,999 constellations watching and you want me to sort them out? Are you crazy?

‘These damn Dokkaebis, they never move unless they are profiting,’ Dok-ja blinked as he knew that there was no way around this other than baiting Bi-hyung.

Kim Dok-ja –You know that the second constellation selection is coming up, if you do that and give him the data, I think Haru-ssi will appreciate it since he would want to know what type of constellations are interested in his group, that way he would be able to make his group stronger and who knows he will surely remember your help when Do-gak tries to steal him away.

Bi-Hyung – Why didn’t you say that from the start? I am going I need to do something!

‘Ok, with that done I can rest a little easy, this will help me understand a few things as well while keeping Haru-ssi in Bi-hyung’s channel…hopefully.’ Dok-ja knew that things would be way easier if this worked as he had intended it to.

And as he was thinking that a few hours passed, and then it was time to change shifts with others while they headed to rest.

“Well then… I’ll be going,” Sang-ah looked she had a lot to say but she didn’t speak any further and left.

She didn’t even wait for Dok-ja’s reply or more like she didn’t even hear it since she was too absorbed in her mind.

‘I don’t feel like sleeping,’ Sang-ah thought as she moved about the area randomly and while doing so she happened to catch a glimpse of someone.

‘What is Haru-ssi doing there? He wasn’t on guard duty today,’ Sang-ah thought as she saw him standing near the gate with his red hair flowing, and next to him was another unexpected individual.

And even with the distance between them, she could see that the two were having a serious conversation just from the look on their face.

In fact…

“Are you going to kill Dok-ja?” Thanks to the extreme silence and the Keen hearing skill that Sang-ah had she could hear Gil-young’s voice even from that distance.

‘What type of question is that?’ Sang-ah thought as Gil-young’s question was just that absurd especially because…

“No, so you can relax alright,” Sang-ah saw Haru smile as he shook his head, and there was a reason he told Gil-young to relax.

“If you were lying I would’ve called for Titano,” Gil-young wasn’t shy to let his real intentions out since he already knew that…

“Sure you would’ve, but you need to understand that it wouldn’t have been that big of a problem with the people here, at most it could stall us for a while,” Haru said as Gil-young nodded as he knew already.

“But it would’ve been enough for Dok-ja to escape,” If it came down to it Gil-young’s goal from the start was to stall Haru and the others till Dok-ja is gone, that was his sole goal…

“Then what about you? Wouldn’t you retreat?” Haru asked and Gil-young shook his head, the reason was obvious he needed to control Titano to continuously face off against his opponent.

If not Titano would just flee seeing that he is in danger that’s how beasts were and Gil-young hadn’t gotten enough control over Titano to have it fight if he wasn’t controlling him.

“Dok-ja escaping is enough,” Gil-young said without stating the obvious reason, but Haru already knew why this kid had said that.

“And do you think he’ll be happy with that?” Haru asked and Gil-young looked confused, which is why he reframed the question.

“Say if Dok-ja gives up his life to save you, would you be happy?”

“No,” And he got an immediate answer, there was no way Gil-young would like that.

“So, what do you think? Will he be happy with what your sacrifice is?” Haru asked and Gil-young tilted his head.

“But I don’t need to do that now, so there is no need to think about it,” Gil-young said flatly and Haru smiled since he could understand why this kid wouldn’t answer him straightforwardly.

‘You need to do better Dok-ja, the kid is unsure whether he is of importance to you or not,’ Haru shook his head as he looked at Gil-young, he could see the small frown on his flat face and…

“I guess you are right, and with that out of the way, you should go and rest,” Gil-young nodded before turning around and started walking away from the gate.

And while Sang-ah was just stuck in place after hearing that conversation, Gil-young noticed her and came towards her, he knew that she was on patrol duty with Dok-ja so…

“Did Dok-ja go to his room?” Gil-young asked since he was waiting for Dok-ja and in the meantime wanted to talk to Haru since he didn’t get a clear answer from Queresha when he asked her this question. All she said was that the decision was up to Haru.

This was the main reason he even came here, it was to make sure that Haru hadn’t killed Dok-ja after he heard that they were nearby.

But thankfully that didn’t happen and…

‘I was able to clear the question as well,’ Gil-young was in a good mood, and since the tension left him, he was feeling all of the piled-up fatigue hitting him at once.

Because the one who had lost the most sleep among the group over what Dok-ja did was Gil-young, he was that concerned about this guy’s safety since his mind went to the worst conclusion as soon as he what happened.

“Yes… you should go and rest Gil-young, you haven’t rested properly for a while,” Sang-ah tried to smile since in the end she understood that Gil-young was very attached to Dok-ja.

“Mhm,” Gil-young nodded and walked past Sang-ah while rubbing his eyes, his destination was the room in which Dok-ja was.

Sang-ah was about to go and rest as well but she saw Haru was still standing there alone and…

‘…He seems worried since earlier this night, even if I am told not to worry… I…’ And unknowingly she started to move towards Haru, and her reason for doing so was obvious.

“You didn’t go to sleep Sang-ah?” And that was Haru’s first question as soon as he saw her arrive there.

“Ah, well…” Sang-ah didn’t know how to say what happened, in her mind, she was wondering if she should talk about how she should say that she happened to hear them and was listening in, even if it was not her intention.

“You can’t sleep as well?” Haru asked with a smile since it was clear that even with her fatigue Sang-ah did not feel like she could sleep, but she was surprised to know that Haru was having a problem sleeping as well.

‘It must be the problem with Dok-ja-ssi, it is only natural that it had made him anxious, not to mention what Gil-young said,’ Sang-ah knew that even she herself would feel uneasy to hear something like that given the current circumstances.

One of his core group members was moving behind the scenes without him having any idea and then a second one comes up with a threat, if this was any other leader with the same amount of power Haru, both of them would’ve been dead long ago.

But that was the problem here…

‘Well, I wouldn’t call it a problem, but it can be problematic…’ Sang-ah didn’t know what to think of this but she also didnt have much time to think about it thanks to Haru’s next question.

“So, did you have your talk with him?”
