My Second Life in Another World - Chapter 404: What Is His Problem?
A few hours later, at 9 Dok-ja and Gil-young were woken up by…
“You guys are the last ones to have breakfast,” It was none other than Shin Yoo-sung who was running small errands after she was done with her morning practice, She had taken the job of waking up everyone in the group who hadn’t woken up till now since breakfast time was about to end soon.
“Ah, yeah, thanks for waking me up,” Dok-ja said that as Yoo-sung just nodded walking out of the room as Gil-young glared at her.
‘What is his problem?’ Yoo-sung thought but soon forgot about it since she had other important things to do.
‘That kid has been with the leader of this group, and looks like they are quite close,’ Dok-ja thought as he had just had the proper time to think about it since he was busy thinking about other things before.
‘As expected I couldn’t the status of Zenobia-ssi,’ Dok-ja was pretty used to it at this point since it wasn’t like this world was filled with characters.
‘For now, I am not sure what to think after what happened with Min-seob,’ Dok-ja sighed as he washed his face and walked out of the room with Gil-young that only they were occupying since their roommate was already out.
‘He already recovered enough to walk, I guess he isn’t the protagonist for nothing,’ Dok-ja shrugged as he walked out into the open area which was the park area between the building and the gate.
And in this place where multiple grills lined up next to each other, he found a few people there as well.
“You sleep a lot,” Soo-young said grumpily while sitting on one of the chairs.
“Aren’t you the same though?” Dok-ja pointed out and she scoffed.
“Don’t lump me in with you,” But unexpectedly…
“So, you don’t want this extra sweet coffee and grilled meat sandwich?” Yoo-sung asked with a frown since if she didn’t eat the food would go to waste since pretty much everyone has had their breakfast by now.
“Yeah, what did you say before?” Dok-ja folded his arms as Soo-young deadpanned, and in the end, she ignored him…
“If you make people look bad like that no one will like you,” Soo-young begrudgingly took the coffee and grilled meat sandwich from Yoo-sung since she was hungry, but…
“I don’t care about that as long as my Unnie likes me,” And leaving those words Yoo-sung turned around and went to pick up things for the duo that had just arrived.
“Cheeky kid,” Soo-young muttered as she had her coffee and as soon as she took a sip.
“Hmm, seems like your irritation is gone,” Jin-ah said looking at her since she looked visibly calmer.
“I wasn’t irritated,” Soo-young said calmly and even Dok-ja shook his head.
“No need to deny it I understand that it isn’t good when you look back at it, I also regret causing so much trouble when I finally calm down,” Jin-ah laughed since she would often be irritated and cause trouble if she didn’t get to eat fried chicken for a set amount of time.
And she regrets it afterward because she gets punished for it by the two demons of their household.
‘Though I get some tasty chicken after Haru calms them down so it is a win-win,’ Jin-ah shrugged as Soo-young had already stopped listening halfway.
‘Is it a bad day or something?’ Dok-ja thought since Soo-young was still glaring into the space while having her food, it was almost like it was that time for her.
But he was wrong…
‘I just have a bad feeling, like a really bad feeling,’ Soo-young felt like that since she woke up this morning and soon when Yoo-sung came back with more food.
It happened…
“You kid, come with me,” Yoo Jung-hyuk walked up to Yoo-sung out of nowhere and grabbed her by the hand as she was handing the food to Dok-ja.
“What?! Let go!” Yoo-sung tried to shake off Jung-hyuk but of course, it didn’t work, there was no way she would be able to do that given the difference in stats.
‘What is he doing?’ Dok-ja panicked because of what Jung-hyuk was doing in open space, in a place where they barely had any allies.
But before he could intervene someone else already did as a spike of ice fell right in front of Jung-hyuk in order to stop him in his tracks.
“The next one will not miss,” Jin-ah spoke her lips still covered in sauce, she wasn’t joking about it not missing a second time as she had purposefully done that the first time, but…
“You guys have quite the luxury, don’t you?” Jung-hyuk said as he looked at Jin-ah with disdain, if she wanted to save the kid what was with the warning shot?
Did she think that would do something? One cannot survive with thoughts like that, because life and death can be decided in an instant while one is thinking this naively.
“Well, I did what I needed to,” Even then Jin-ah just shrugged, she didn’t need to do anything in this situation because the one who was supposed to have arrived.
‘Behind me,’ Jung-hyuk’s body moved on its own as he felt the killing intent from behind him, It was focused on his right side and he could feel the attack coming at an angle that forced him to move to the left.
Swoosh*
A black spear zoomed through the place Jung-hyuk was standing before, This attack was made entirely with the intention to kill him, and the attacker was none other than the leader of the group where they were staying.
One didn’t need words to know that Zenobia was angry; it showed on her face as she swung the spear again this time aiming for the hand Jung-hyuk was using to grab onto Yoo-sung.
Because of his sudden movement, Jung-hyuk’s body was to the left while Yoo-sung was to the right as his hand was outstretched.
‘Was that what she wanted? Deliberately showing killing intent at the end when she was able to reach there without me being aware to make me jump to the side and aim for my hand,’ Jung-hyuk was faced with the option of either letting Yoo-sung go to save his arm or lose the arm.
And even if he lost the arm there was nothing he’d gain since Yoo-sung would be free.
In the end, he chose to let go of Yoo-sung since losing his arm at this point wasn’t ideal, this wouldn’t have been an issue for him before but…
‘Why is he doing this when he isn’t even healed properly?’ Dok-ja felt like smacking his head on a concrete wall, Jung-hyuk had barely been able to move last night and he was up to creating another problem for all of them again.
Why was he involved in this situation as well?
‘We came together from the outside just yesterday, and unlike Haru-ssi who had the leader’s support we don’t have it, so if this escalates then all of us will be faced with the ire of the entire group,’ Dok-ja seriously wasn’t keen on that after seeing Zenobia which was also shocking to him.
She had been nothing but kind and supportive yesterday always having that small gentle smile that made them feel welcomed, but after seeing her face now Dok-ja could understand why she was a leader of such a considerable force.
‘She is no joke as well, that weapon and her skills are top-notch,’ Dok-ja gulped wondering what would happen next but there was one thing that he wished for.
‘Please let it all settle before Haru-ssi comes back,’ Dok-ja couldn’t help but shudder because of how big this problem could become if he came and god behold…
“What is happening here?” Haru who was out since early morning with Hae-in to check a few things, just happened to come back at this very time.
“Hmm, the coffee seems more enjoyable today,” Soo-young smirked after taking another sip of her hot coffee.
