Chapter 169

Translator: Rainbow Turtle

Everyone made expressions of belated realization . They understood that they hadn’t thought of the fundamental problem . At this moment, Lee Jihye opened her mouth again . “That…”

Lee Jihye raised her hand . I felt somewhat uneasy .

By the way…

“Yes, Jihye? Do you know something?”

“No, you don’t think it is me…?”

What bullshit was this girl saying? Lee Jihye’s comment seemed to relax the party members .

Jung Heewon asked, “What? Did Dokja-ssi do something? That man, towards a minor…’

“No, that’s not it…”

“Then?”

“I just thought about it using common sense . I am a high school girl . Then he should like me…”

The party members ignored Lee Jihye and continued the discussion . It was Jung Heewon who gave her opinion first . “My guess is that Dokja-ssi’s most loved person is Yoo Sangah-ssi . ”

“Huh?” Yoo Sangah was startled . She was so surprised that I was hurt . “Why me…?”

“It should be like this . In fact, Yoo Sangah-ssi’s beauty… well, I don’t need to mention it . ”

The members nodded and Yoo Sangah’s face turned red .

Jung Heewon kept speaking . “You are running around everywhere to save Dokja-ssi… I honestly think it would be strange if Dokja-ssi doesn’t like Yoo Sangah-ssi . ”

Certainly, there was no one who wouldn’t like Yoo Sangah . She was pretty, kind, had a good personality…

There was no denying it .

“Huh? Just… I’m just a work colleague and received help from Dokja-ssi…”

Yoo Sangah acted like it was difficult situation before she suddenly hit back at Jung Heewon . “I actually thought it was Heewon-ssi . ”

“Uh…yes? Me?”

“Yes, I think that Dokja-ssi iikes Heewon-ssi . ”

Jung Heewon was surprised by the unexpected counterattack and her eyes widened . Lee Hyunsung also jumped with shock . It was an interesting hypothesis for me as well .

“This… Dokja-ssi is really kind to Heewon-ssi . He gave you equipment and… Heewon-ssi seemed to smile very well when talking to Dokja-ssi…”

Certainly, there seemed to be such a thing . It was very easy for me to converse with Jung Heewon . It was in the sense that she was a ‘character’ I found and raised .

The confused Jung Heewon shook her hands with a flushed face . “Huh? No, wait a minute . That…”

The party members started to gossip again . It didn’t feel good . Lee Jihye stood alone and muttered ‘Kim Dokja is trash . ’

No, I didn’t do anything wrong…

This time, it was Lee Gilyoung who interrupted . “I don’t think ‘love’ necessarily means love between a man and woman!”

“Maybe… then what do you think Gilyoung?”

“Dokja hyung likes me . ”

“Why do you say that?”

“That…”

Lee Gilyoung agonized over the question before starting to cry . No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t find a reason why I would love him . Then Lee Hyunsung spoke . “Hum hum . Perhaps it is ‘comradeship…”

People simultaneously stared at Yoo Jonghyuk . Yoo Jonghyuk, who was standing with his arms crossed, frowned . “What are you looking at?”

Lee Jihye and Jung Heewon were whispering to each other .

“…Ah, perhaps . ”

“Right? Isn’t this right?”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is nodding violently!]

At this time, the quietly listening Shin Yoosung raised her hand . “Excuse me…”

The party members tacitly realized something . Among them, the one who might know my mind best was my incarnation Shin Yoosung .

“Y-Yes! Yoosung! Speak!”

“Do you know anything?”

Shin Yoosung slowly shook her head . The expressions of the party members were disappointed . However, Shin Yoosung’s words weren’t over yet .

“Why don’t you just ask Ahjussi?”

“What? Dokja-ssi? How?”

I suddenly felt cold . Shin Yoosung was looking exactly where I was watching them . As always, my ominous feeling was correct .

My lovely incarnation smiled and pointed at me . “Ahjussi is listening to our conversation after all . ”

…Damn .

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name is wrong . ]

“Again . ”

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name is wrong . ]

“One more time . ”

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name says he was really wrong . ]

After repeatedly apologizing, the party members―especially Jung Heewon and Yoo Sangah, barely forgave me .

Jung Heewon said, “Then… who is the person Dokja-ssi loves most?”

I was about to answer when Lee Hyunsung spoke up . “Come to think of it, it might be no one here . ”

“Ah, that reminds me, Dokja-ssi left with that woman . The name… Han Sooyoung?” Jung Heewon also added .

Yoo Sangah’s expression hardened at Han Sooyoung’s words . “Are you with that woman right now?”

Yoo Sangah’s expression was greatly disappointed because she didn’t like Han Sooyoung .

…I needed to speak before things got worse . I took a deep breath and sent an indirect message .

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name says he doesn’t love anyone . ]

An unknown atmosphere covered the party members . Some were disappointed while some were excited . No, why were they so interested in the love life of others?

Jung Heewon said, “You have to say it precisely . There is no one ‘right now . ’ According to fate, Dokja-ssi will surely love someone . ”

Well… she wasn’t wrong . Jung Heewon continued speaking . “Then I will change the question . What type of style does Dokja-ssi like? Is it close to one of us?”

No, why should I tell them?

“I know you are wondering why you should answer but it is important to us . If Dokja-ssi likes one of us, we might be able to stop that fate . ”

…It was slightly convincing . Fate was very powerful but as I said, it wasn’t inevitable . If I knew who I loved, I might be able to go against fate .

I felt sorry that the party members were so worried about my death . However…

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name isn’t sure . ]

In the end, Jung Heewon was irritated . “Oh, why are you so frustrating?”

“Ahjussi, it’s fine to tell us! Is it the time to be polite?”

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name says there is no such thing . ]

Damn, I had to use a lot of coins to send the indirect messages .

[The constellation who doesn’t yet have a name doesn’t know his heart . ]

“Dokja-ssi really…”

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is interested in the new story . ]

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ wonders about your choice . ]

[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is glancing this way . ]

[Many constellations are choking on sweet potatoes are your frustrating answer . ]

Even the constellations were listening to our conversation .

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is telling you not to deceive yourself on your heart . ]

[Some constellations declare there is no one apart from the incarnation ‘Yoo Sangah . ’]

[Some constellations support the incarnation ‘Shin Yoosung . ’]

[Some constellations who love true friends support the incarnation ‘Lee Hyunsung . ’]

…This was an utter mess .

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ has a good idea . ]

The next moment, an item popped out of thin air .

+

[Item Information]

Name: Affection Reader

Rating: SS

Description: An item that lets you know what the other person thinks about you . After pressing the button and thinking about the name and appearance of the other person, the affection number will automatically appear in the air .

+

I became distracted the moment I saw this item . The Affection Reader was a luxurious item that could only be purchased by platinum members of the Dokkaebi Bag .

No, using 100,000 coins for this unhealthy entertainment? Was she crazy?

“As expected from an archangel! This is big!” Jung Heewon shouted .

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ says to try and use it . ]

“Then who will go first?”

“It is Heewon unni’s sponsor so let her try first . ”

“Uh, um . Shall I?”

Jung Heewon became slightly nervous once it was time to use it . I was also tense . Why was I so nervous when I was finally getting to know my heart?

…It felt like I was naked . I felt really strange as I saw everyone focus on the Affection Reader . After a while…

There was a beeping sound and the message slowly appeared .

[The affection score of the constellation ‘Kim Dokja’ towards the incarnation ‘Jung Heewon’ is 54 points . ]

The nervous Jung Heewon was disappointed when she saw the score . “54 points? Is that high?”

“I want to try next!” Lee Jihye took away the reader and cried out playfully as she pressed the button . “Let me know Kim Dokja’s heart!”

[The affection score of the constellation ‘Kim Dokja’ towards the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye’ is 6 points . ]

“…”

Lee Jihye was in a daze as the other members used the reader . Then it was Lee Gilyoung, Lee Hyunsung and Shin Yoosung . Their scores were 49 points, 50 pints and 56 points respectively . In the corner, Lee Jihye was muttering, “Kim Dokja is trash . ” On the other hand, Shin Yoosung was excited .

Finally, only Yoo Sangah and Yoo Jonghyuk were left .

“J-Jonghyuk-ssi first…”

“I have no intention of joking around . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk went to search the monster corpses in the distance and all eyes naturally turned to Yoo Sangah .

Yoo Sangah took the reader . Then just before she used it…

[The constellation ‘Queen of the Darkest Spring’ presents a special item to incarnation ‘Yoo Sangah . ’]

Clothes fell out of the air and the clothing of Yoo Sangah changed . It was into a black Chinese dress with a black garter belt .

Yoo Sangah stuttered at the sudden change . “T-T-This is…”

I felt desperate at the sight of Yoo Sangah and inwardly cursed . That damn granny of Olympus .

Jung Heewon, who didn’t know anything, nodded . “Ah, it is a constellation event?”

“Sangah noona, come forward . ”

Yoo Sangah pressed the button .

[The affection score of the constellation ‘Kim Dokja’ towards the incarnation ‘Yoo Sangah’ is 481 points . ]

“4-481 points? Isn’t that crazy? Doesn’t this confirm it?”

“Dokja-ssi’s favourite person is really…”

Yoo Sangah was stuttering with a red face when Lee Jihye felt something strange and opened her mouth . “No wait… Sangah unni . Can you lend me those clothes?”

“Uh, yes . ”

Lee Jihye entered a nearby building to change clothes before pressing the button of the reader .

[The affection score of the constellation ‘Kim Dokja’ towards the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye’ is 481 points . ]

Everyone was speechless .

I couldn’t say anything through my shame . Lee Jihye shouted ridicule towards the air, Jung Heewon grabbed her belly and shook as she laughed and Yoo Sangah muttered with blank eyes,

“It isn’t a person he loves most…”

Lee Gilyoung and Lee Hyunsung were shaking their heads . Shit, this was why I didn’t want to do this…

Shin Yoosung was shivering as she watched me . I wanted to apologize when I saw my incarnation’s reaction, but Shin Yoosung shouted first .

“A-Ahjussi!”

Yes, sorry Yoosung . I…

“Ahjussi! What’s wrong? Ajusshi!”

The pale Shin Yoosung stretched out a hand towards the air . There was something strange .

…Eh? Shin Yoosung’s voice became distance and my vision swirled as I became dizzy .

Wait . This was perhaps…

The next moment, my consciousness was cut off along with the message .

[You have died . ]
