I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Chapter 309: Episode 78. Unpredictable

Because of the shoulder injury, it was difficult to move my shoulder as usual. In the end, I used my wind ability while fully embraced by Cheon Sa-yeon.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was holding my back and the back of my knees, stepped on the door frame of the wide-open window and climbed up. I drew up my energy and wrapped the wind around Cheon Sa-yeon’s body.

As we stepped out through the window, a wide forest spread out below. Floating in the air, I relied on the moonlight to look around.

“I don’t know where to go.”

“I can’t see anything.”

Maybe it was because it was night, so I could only see the forest full of trees, but no other buildings or villages. It was then that I hesitated, unable to decide where we were going.

A wolf howl echoed loudly from across the eastern side of the forest. At the same time, I and Cheon Sa-yeon recalled the same person and made eye contact.

“Don’t tell me…”

“There’s nowhere else to go anyway, so let’s check it out from there.”

I nodded and moved the wind. It wasn’t too far away, so I thought we would be there after about 10 minutes.

Heading to the place where the wolf’s howl was heard, I told Cheon Sa-yeon how I had heard Abel’s voice before coming here. After hearing the explanation, Cheon Sa-yeon narrowed his eyes with an annoyed look.

“Abel wouldn’t have noticed your ability. She’s not that smart. But, Han Yi-gyeol, it seems certain that you ruined Abel’s plan. Even if you didn’t mean to.”

“Is it possible to touch fairy tales just by my existence alone?”

“Yeah. Praus Cult wouldn’t have dared to think that among us there would be a talented person with out-of-rank ability.”

If Cheon Sa-yeon’s guess was true, as Elohim said, it could be seen that my existence played the role of the Joker properly.

Then Abel’s hysterical reaction to shouting that I was the cause made a little more sense. However…

“I never used that ability when I came in. It didn’t even decrease my energy. But how can I influence the space?”

“Your energy must have become strong enough to affect those around you even if you don’t use it.”

Elohim’s request to refrain from using intervention ability overlapped with Cheon Sa-yeon’s voice.

I didn’t even use my ability and it affects my surroundings. This wasn’t good.

“Then it will be more difficult to hide in the future.”

“It’s a big problem right now.”

His long black hair fluttered gently in the wind. His expression under the moonlight looked very complicated.

“Abel has noticed that you have some other ability, so she will try to figure out what it is in this space.”

“You mean she’s going to attack with a doll?”

“They will attack only you, not us. They can attack to kill… or they can drag you out and take the time to figure it out.”

“……”

I lifted my head and looked at the face of Cheon Sa-yeon who was holding me. I just felt a sense of concern for myself in those words.

Cheon Sa-yeon’s feelings for me came to mind again. Cheon Sa-yeon with the same eyes as Ha Tae-heon, who confessed that he loved me without hesitation.

I couldn’t understand why he had such feelings for me, but I never doubted Cheon Sa-yeon’s feelings. So he must be serious.

Instead of answering not worrying about unnecessary things or that I would be careful not to let that happen, I relaxed and rested my head on Cheon Sa-yeon’s shoulder. Cheon Sa-yeon, who briefly flinched, gave strength to the hand that was holding me.

Before I knew it, we reached the place where we heard the wolf howl. After descending slowly, when the wind was removed, the moonlight didn’t reach, revealing a dark forest inside.

I came out of Cheon Sa-yeon’s arms and looked around the area full of bushes.

“The energy… I’m sure Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi is here…!”

Before I could even finish speaking, Cheon Sa-yeon grabbed my shoulder and pulled me strongly. At the same time, a black object quickly passed in front of me, giving me chilling goosebumps.

It was clearly a murderous look. Gasp, I took a deep breath and turned my head to the side.

Grr…

A giant wolf came out and stared at Cheon Sa-yeon, revealing its teeth. Golden eyes flashed menacingly in the darkness.

“Ugh, wait a minute. Cheon Sa-yeon!”

Gr! Again without hesitation Cheon Sa-yeon, who was standing in front of me from the wolf running and revealing its thick fangs, swung his leg.

A wolf that had been properly hit in the face by Cheon Sa-yeon’s long legs flew through the air and crashed to the ground. I was astonished to see the wolf whining and making a sound about how painful it was.

“It’s really Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi. Why are you hitting him?”

“He’s in a state of mental control anyway, so we have to subdue him.”

When I shouted in surprise, Cheon Sa-yeon responded with a sullen tone. What the hell with that attitude of you kicking your secretary?

“Of course, I understand, but… you hit him too hard. What if anything bad happens to Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi?”

“There’s one thing that I don’t like about.”

One thing? What is it that makes you hit him without mercy?

Even in the midst of bewilderment, Woo Seo-hyuk got up before I asked how he was and, without getting tired, rushed again.

Cheon Sa-yeon pushed me back, as if expecting such Woo Seo-hyuk, and confronted him head-on.

Growl! The howl of the wolf, which fell like thunder, rang out loudly. Cheon Sa-yeon smiled at Woo Seo-hyuk’s attack, which was incredibly fast compared to his big size.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who easily avoided the teeth that were aiming at his shoulder, slammed his fist into Woo Seo-hyuk’s nose without hesitation. Woo Seo-hyuk, who was hit by the fist, which was small compared to his own body, raised his fur upright and trembled. It seemed very sick.

‘The battle between SS-rank and S-rank…’

I didn’t want to support him in beating Woo Seo-hyuk, so I just stood back and watched.

Even though Woo Seo-hyuk, who recognized us as enemies, rushed forward without hesitation, Cheon Sa-yeon was always relaxed. No, on the contrary, it was clearly visible to my eyes that Woo Seo-hyuk’s skills were far below him.

Woo Seo-hyuk, who was beaten by Cheon Sa-yeon for almost 30 minutes, eventually fell to the ground for the second time with his tail bent. Seeing him whimpering sadly, I felt so sorry for him, so I hurriedly blocked him in front of Woo Seo-hyuk.

“Stop it, that’s enough.”

Later, when Woo Seo-hyuk releases his ability, he might have bruises all over his body. That was how many Cheon Sa-yeon hit him.

As I intervened, Cheon Sa-yeon, who released his fist, covered his mouth with his hand and gave a look of disappointment. His hair, which came down long enough to exceed his waist, made him look sadder than usual.

“I protected you from a bad wolf, but you only took the wolf’s side… How cold-hearted you are…”

“……”

How could you make a joke in this situation?

Woo Seo-hyuk, who was holding his stomach close to the ground behind me, pushed the tip of his nose and started sniffing. His droopy tail fluttered and his hostility-filled golden eyes softened.

‘Does he recognize me?’

There was hope for a better atmosphere. When I carefully reached out my hand, Woo Seo-hyuk quietly let me reach his head.

His tail swung vigorously as I plucked up my courage and stroked between his pointy ears. Cheon Sa-yeon, who was silently watching this, snorted.

“He’s really good to you.”

“Because I don’t think I had to hit him.”

He was unconscious and had already sensitive, but he was surprised that we suddenly came down from the sky and deserved an attack.

I just wish I could free him from mental control. As I stroked him a little more with apologetic feelings, Woo Seo-hyuk, who blinked, got up. Then he licked my cheeks with his big tongue and sniffed me in earnest. He seemed to be concerned about the smell of blood coming from me.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who raised one eyebrow, crossed his arms and spat out a word.

“…that’s why I said I didn’t like it.”

I didn’t know what it was, but I was glad that Woo Seo-hyuk became calm. I said to Cheon Sa-yeon, leaving Woo Seo-hyuk sniffing while sticking his huge head at me.

“Now what? We have to find other people.”

“It would be better to get out of this forest for now. It’s night and darkness covers everything.”

“Will Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi return as a human?”

It was possible for me to fly in Cheon Sa-yeon’s arms, but it was too big and heavy to handle the transformed Woo Seo-hyuk, so it was difficult to hold on for as long as before. Besides, I didn’t know how to make Woo Seo-hyuk, who had no memory, understood and floated in the air.

“Hmm.”

Even Cheon Sa-yeon couldn’t make a decision and fell into trouble because he had the same thoughts as me. I opened my mouth first, stroking the corners of my mouth and organizing the situation.

“Should we at least walk to the end of the forest until morning? If we keep going east like this, something will come out.”

“That is the only option for now.”

“When the sun comes up, I’ll go up myself and check what’s there. Then set the destination again… ugh?”

“Han Yi-gyeol!”

It was the moment when I was explaining. Woo Seo-hyuk, who was sticking his head while licking me from the side, suddenly put my body in his mouth.

As soon as the upper body was trapped in Woo Seo-hyuk’s wet and hot mouth, Cheon Sa-yeon’s sharp energy spread.

“I’m okay.”

In case Cheon Sa-yeon would hit Woo Seo-hyuk again, I raised my palm in advance to let him know that I was fine. It was a bit embarrassing and startling, but it didn’t hurt because he didn’t straighten his teeth.

Fortunately, Woo Seo-hyuk, who spat me out quickly, raised his head as if to show off and wiggled his tail. What the hell did that action just mean. If I got out of here, should I learn how the wolf behaved?

Cheon Sa-yeon, who looked at me for any injuries, reached out.

“Come on. Move now.”

It seemed to mean that he was going to move while holding me like before. I didn’t think there was any need to be held again because I could just walk. I shook my head.

“I didn’t even hurt my leg… it’s okay.”

“It was only forcibly to stop the bleeding, so if you overdo it, you may get a fever or make the wound worse. Don’t be stubborn.”

Was it? I looked away, but the pain from my shoulder was still severe. Like Cheon Sa-yeon’s concern, if even a fever had risen and I collapsed, it would have been just a lump of burden.

As I was about to give up my pride and approach Cheon Sa-yeon, Woo Seo-hyuk, who was looking at Cheon Sa-yeon and me, growled and blocked my way.

“……”

Cheon Sa-yeon glared at Woo Seo-hyuk, who was intervening between us, and smiled annoyed.

Either way, Woo Seo-hyuk gave me a pathetic cry and bent down his body closely. He seemed to get me on his back.

As if Cheon Sa-yeon had noticed it, he slowly held out his hand. Are you going to hit him again? I hurriedly hugged Woo Seo-hyuk’s neck and shouted.

“Calm down! He’s under mental control.”

“I think he is deceiving us.”

“How could that be? Anyway, this time I’ll stick with Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi. It’s more dangerous if you hold me when something happens.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who heard my answer, frowned with a look of dissatisfaction.

I let out a weary sigh, sandwiched between Cheon Sa-yeon, who was annoyed, and Woo Seo-hyuk, who wiggled his tail.
