My Second Life in Another World - Chapter 423: Oh...Sh*t!

The next morning, or should we say afternoon, it was then that Queresha opened her eyes.

“Why didn’t you… wake me up?” She looked at Haru who got her some breakfast.

She was supposed to be up by 6 A.M but now it was noon, it was way past the agreed time.

“Hmm, I overslept, haha,” Haru laughed but there was a different reason, “It is so comfortable to sleep while hugging you that I didn’t want to wake up.”

“…” Of course, Queresha knew that wasn’t the real reason either, she now understood the look on Zenobia’s face yesterday.

‘She already knew I would be late….’ Queresha stood up wordlessly, she couldn’t say anything to Haru since she herself wasn’t able to wake up, ‘…And it is not like I can refute his words.’

“I’ll go wash my face,” She was about to go but…

“Don’t you think you forgot something?” Haru said making her steps come to a stop.

She came back and lightly kissed his lips.

“That was cute…” Haru smiled since he spotted a light blush on Queresha’s face, as she slipped away to the bathroom.

After a silent breakfast where Haru fed her even when she tried to eat by herself, Queresha left for the impromptu lab that was set up by Zenobia near the mansion, while she was sleeping.

“…” Zenobia stared at Queresha silently as she came.

“…Not a word…” Queresha was embarrassed, but her tone was the same, the only thing that hinted at it was her slightly red ears.

“Then let’s start with this,” Zenobia shook her head with a smile, she wasn’t going to tease her anyway.

“Hmm…” Queresha nodded without any expressions but then she noticed something, “You look like you have something to say, Zenobia.”

“Oh, was it that obvious?” Zenobia smiled wryly as Queresha nodded.

Everyone knew that it was something unique to her, even if Queresha made it sound like it was a common skill people had.

“I’ll talk about it during lunch…” Zenobia just steered the topic away for now, “So, are we rebuilding the existing ones or making completely new ones?” she asked since depending on that the time and effort would wary a lot.

“We are rebuilding the original ones,” Queresha said, what they had to do was change the energy consumed by the generator, and for now they didn’t need to change much of the original design.

And above all, they didn’t have the time for that…

‘The electricity from outside the city has been cut off thanks to the barrier,’ Queresha knew that this barrier was only allowing air and water inside the Seoul Dome, other than those, nothing else could come inside, or go out for now.

“This will be tough,” Zenobia sighed as she saw how many Constellations were watching them, these constellations were the ones who liked watching humans build new things with the new resources that they had, “It is good that we have a blueprint.”

‘It was provided by a constellation this morning who was interested in seeing us build it,’ Queresha nodded, she was notified about it by Zenobia this morning, it was just that she only checked it on her way to this place.

But why would a constellation help them?

Thanks to how chaotic things were outside, most people were just barely scraping by, they didn’t have the time to use the new resources, which is why there was a scarcity of this type of content for the Constellations who like such stuff.

‘It is almost like those streams Alea and Jin-ah used to do,’ Zenobia was reminded of how that website worked, and how the people who used it were divided.

Some liked watching people play games, some liked to see them reading, some liked to see them react to stuff, some liked to people build cool things, and some even liked to see other people sleep.

It was like there was an audience for everything as long as you did something.

‘And it is the same thing with these Constellations,’ Queresha thought while working, what each of them was doing now was catering to as many different viewerbases as possible with their individual roles.

This is why that constellation sent them the blueprint that was available in the shop for free.

‘Let’s see whether our plan works or not,’ Queresha wasn’t worried about the chance that it fails, because it didn’t matter if it did, ‘it will be our win either way.’

And after they were done figuring out things such as materials, labor, and time, the delayed lunchtime came.

“So, what did you want to talk about?” Queresha asked the question directly while cutting into the monster rabbit steak.

“It is about the kid I brought with me,” Zenobia told Queresha about Shin Yoo-sung, and why she was telling this to her was, because of the conversation she had with Haru.

“Are you sure leaving her to me?” Queresha asked noticing Yoo-sung hiding a little distance away, she was peeping on them, and she had possibly heard them as well.

And as soon as Queresha’s red eyes met hers, Yoo-sung shuddered and ran away.

‘She is scary!!!’ Yoo-sung couldn’t understand that cold stare, it was very different from the people she had seen till now, it had an intimidation that was hard to stand for her.

It was almost like she had come across a monstrosity she couldn’t face.

“Interesting, I’ll take her,” Queresha nodded while Zenobia smiled wryly.

She knew that Queresha did that on purpose to check what type of reaction Yoo-sung would have, and she seemed satisfied.

‘I guess this is why Haru said that she is rough with training,’ Zenobia shook her head, but there was a reason why she was entrusting Yoo-sung to Queresha.

“Her ability matches yours on a base level, so I thought that you could help her with that,” Zenobia said and Queresha nodded, this was the reason for her previous action as well.

“I’ll pay attention to her safety,” But these words made Zenobia look at her with a hard-to-explain expression.

“I already heard about it, so you can rest assured,” Queresha continued in a flat tone.

“Queresha do you think that… it is possible?” Zenobia asked a question that had been on her mind from the moment she heard that Yoo-sung was a future disaster.

“It could be, I can’t deny your worries for certain after I heard what that guy tried to do,” Queresha mentioned Jung-hyuk and this made Zenobia frown. This was the exact reason for her worry.

“So, it can happen is that …..what you are saying?” Zenobia asked and Queresha nodded without much change in her expression.

“Did you talk to Haru?” Queresha asked wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

“Yes,” Zenobia nodded, she had discussed this with him before.

“What did he say?” Queresha asked another question, and Zenobia could already see where this was going.

“He said not to worry about it,” But she still relayed his reaction.

“Then you shouldn’t worry about it,” Queresha said like it was a matter of fact.

“…I suppose so,” Zenobia shook her head with a sigh, she would like to do that as well, but it was hard to do.

‘She still has that blind trust in him,’ Zenobia knew that it wasn’t the correct way of describing it, but that is what it looked like.

And truth be told, she was very envious of that, because she couldn’t trust someone to that level. Of course, she trusted Haru with what he did, but not to the level Queresha took it. She could never do that, and she knew it.

It was mostly because of how she grew up, and because of that it wasn’t easy for her to do it, that is why she understood Yoo-sung, who was now in a similar position.

‘She is finally able to come around as well,’ But there was a bigger problem at hand, and this is what will make the next scenario even more difficult for them.

In the mansion, Haru had just come back after taking a mission himself, and he was currently having some food in the kitchen.

And while doing that he was approached by someone, and this person was upset.

“Haru, don’t you think that you forgot something?” Haru turned his head, and he saw Hae-in standing there.

‘Oh shit…’
