Chapter 437: Re: Life in that World Starting From Zero (6)

“The Black Swan? Blue? Red Mercenary? Or is it the other side? I thought it was from a large guild unconditionally. It’s larger than medium-size, right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“You know everything. You don’t have to pretend like you don’t understand.”

“So what are you saying…?”

“Who was your sponsor?”

‘What bullsh*t is she talking about?’

It was so absurd.

Naturally, Cha Hee-ra’s name, the leader of the Red Mercenary, came to mind instantly. It was true that Lee Kiyoung grew by being sponsored by Cha Heera.

But, not Lee Kiyeon.

‘Was there anything weird about me?’

Naturally, I had to wonder why she was suddenly talking about sponsorship. I couldn’t remember doing anything that would make others suspicious.

At least during that expedition, I was very cautious about not being caught as Lee Kiyoung, and I never even brought up anything about large guilds.

I was acting carefully to avoid them finding a connection between the Blue, Red Mercenary, Black Swan, and me.

‘Is it because I left my bag with him? Am I being interrogated right now because I took advantage of others? No, fuck, I couldn’t do anything back then! I felt like I was dying!’

If I could, I would’ve endured it.

However, I really thought my shoulders would fall out. That kind of manual labor wasn’t necessary for the high-grade body of Kiyeon.

If my speculations were true, I had to applaud Lindel’s commoners once again.

‘If you don’t like outsiders, you should go with someone you know… why are you throwing bullsh*t at me after taking me in…? It seems the dungeon culture around here is extremely toxic. Are you moss or what?’

I heard that sometimes, that kind of problem popped up.

According to that information, after accepting someone into the party due to member insufficiency, they just ended up forgetting about that person.

The non-manner play was a tactic where acquaintances united and disregarded one person during the entire expedition. The distribution itself was designed to be advantageous to them as well.

Although that wasn’t illegal under the State’s law, it was an act that was rejected by the public.

Thinking that the woman before me might be of that kind, my head started to hurt.

‘No. The boys are too cooperative to say that…’

It was then that I thought I didn’t know much about the world.

Although she didn’t directly mention it, it might have looked like a wizard sponsored by a large guild went out on an expedition as a joke.

When the contract first popped out, I showed a puzzled expression, and above all, reaching heroic-grade in the third year was difficult to achieve unless it was done with a sponsor.

If the talented wizard didn’t receive an offer from a large guild or medium clan, the answer would be obvious.

‘There’s must be a sponsor.’

Honestly, the question itself was not pleasing.

Lee Kiyeon wasn’t sponsored by a large guild and had to join the party. Lee Kiyeon was simply struggling to make a living.

How should I make my excuses?

As I was organizing my thoughts for a while, a voice came from the front again.

“Ha. Look at you, pretending not to know. Why do you pretend to be so naive? It’s already obvious. It’s all written on your face, Kiyeon.”

‘Let me try to gather some info first.’

“I don’t really know… What you’re talking about. Why are you talking about sponsorship all of a sudden?”

“Sponsorship? Right. I guess that’s also a sponsorship. It’s sponsorship you received in exchange for selling your body. That’s the real sponsorship, isn’t it?”

‘What bullsh*t is this again?’

“No, what the hell are you talking…?”

“I’m also a bitch that knows about things. I also struggled on the streets of Lindel. After four years in, I know how this place works and how you got your heroic-grade in the third year. How can you wear such luxury goods when you have nothing? Why don’t you have common knowledge about basic expeditions? Above all else, your behavior is too obvious. They say that old habits don’t die, but to think you want to do it that way even in this expedition?

‘What’s up with her? I did what? What did I do?’

“I think I know what you’re thinking. If you’re struggling to find a new life from now on, don’t live that way anymore. Is it fun to live as a people-pleaser as you shake your ass gently? You must be ashamed of yourself.”

“…”

“Don’t try to charm these innocent guys. You must’ve heard that the Friendship Clan is promising, right? That’s your intention, right? It would be really creepy if that’s the reason why you approached us.”

‘What bullsh*t are you talking about, bitch. Friendship Clan, Love Clan, or whatever, I haven’t heard of it. Your thoughts are even creepier.’

“Because of people like you, real adventurers like us are being insulted. Is it Cheol-woo, or is it Daegun? Put away the thoughts of getting them and clearing your identity. Someone like Cheol-woo might not be interested in your dirty body anyway, but… I’m telling you all this because it’s uncomfortable for me to see it. You shouldn’t be doing this during the expedition. Hey, Kiyeon. This is a warning.”

“A warning?”

“Yes. Warning. Since it’s already like this, we will move together until the end of the expedition, but this will be a warning for you to do anything that stands out. If you’ve decided to clear your identity, show it with your skills. Don’t let the atmosphere blur as you moan, pushing your chest out. Or I’ll mobilize all of my contacts and bury you completely in this area. Do you understand?”

‘What, mobilize all your personal connections?’

“You’re not even pretty… it’s always the ones who have an ambiguous look.”

“…”

‘But I’m still prettier than you. You look like a pumpkin…’

“Let’s not focus on useless things, but focus on strategy. And remove your makeup.”

“I didn’t put…”

“For god’s sake!”

“…”

“…”

For god’s sake! What should I do with her?

It would have been a little less unfair if I had actually done something bad.

I didn’t even allure them or shake my hips. It was hard to understand the bullsh*t she was spouting out.

My clothes were fairly modest, and although I was carrying Chanelia Hermes, my equipment level was just average.

‘I’m extremely modest!’

I had the classic look of a conservative wife and the queen of modesty. However, even though I put in such effort, the public’s evaluation was cold. It would be strange not to be flustered.

However, saying anything to the injustice, Kook Minji spat out one more line and began to disappear from my view.

“Don’t live like a prostitute.”

She walked away triumphantly as if she said a famous line…

‘Aren’t your clothes worse than mine?’

At least I covered my whole body with a robe. That woman was a thief and was wearing tights that stick against her body.

I didn’t know why the hell it had a deep neckline, but I could see so much of her cleavage.

I still couldn’t imagine that there would be dumbasses that thought that body exposure would be a defense. In simple terms, all of her curves were revealed.

I didn’t know who she was calling a prostitute, but no matter who saw us, the modest one was Lee Kiyeon, and the one who used her body carelessly was Kook Minji.

Looking at the mirror for no reason, once again, my whole face was reflected by it.

No matter how I looked at it, this was one modest face.

What was wrong with her?

‘Jealousy? Or was she trying to look strong?’

I didn’t know the reason, but naturally, I thought about whether to exact justice. The situation would be cleared up quickly.

After revealing that I was Lee Kiyoung, I would just immediately hit her head continuously.

Small clans, such as Friendship Clans, could be completely erased from the continent if I wanted to. It wasn’t only that.

It might be a little bit too much of a consequence for a mistake, but I could label them as the demon’s henchmen.

The problem was that I couldn’t undo the spell myself in the current situation.

Of course, believing it or not was their freedom, but considering the possibility that I could get caught up in other rumors for nothing, I thought that it might be too much to do something there.

‘I don’t feel like it.’

Actually, this was a little annoying.

Not much time had passed since I left for an expedition after getting a party, and if I were to ruin things so quickly, I’d feel a little better, but I would have to get a new party and go through the same process again.

If I shouted that I was the country’s Honorary Cardinal, I would be glad if I wasn’t treated like a crazy bitch.

‘Nothing will happen.’

If I were in my Light Kiyoung form, I wouldn’t hold back against her. All the same, I had to control myself.

‘You should stay quiet until the end of this job, Kiyeon.’

After checking what I had, I could deliver punishment slowly.

Since there was something that I wanted from that party, once I got it, everything would work out naturally. As I grabbed the strings of reason and moved forward, I could see the party members waiting for me.

The four gloating women stood out more than the men looking at me with silly faces.

Kook Minji must’ve told the saga to the rest of the scum.

‘She’s all excited because she got a blow in.’

Her expression made it obvious.

‘Okay, keep laughing. Smile a lot. It won’t last long, bitches.’

Not only was Lee Kiyeon quiet and pure, but she would still be considered shy even when going back to the Joseon Dynasty. I didn’t know why they considered such a woman as a bitch, but what happened earlier seemed like a pleasant thing for them.

Their facial expressions changed a little after Lee Cheol-woo, and Kim Daegun approached me.

“Can we leave?”

“Ah. I guess I made you wait. I’m sorry, Cheol-woo.”

“You didn’t. We were just getting up from our seats.”

“Thank you for your consideration in many ways.”

“It’s only natural.”

“You just have to come with us comfortably, Kiyeon. The atmosphere itself would have been uncomfortable to you since we are all acquainted here… It is only proper for us to be as considerate as possible. Isn’t that right, Cheol-woo?”

“Right. You are right.”

“If you need help, you can speak to us without burden. If you have trouble walking, you can climb up on my back and go. Haha. It’s a joke.”

“The clan atmosphere is nice.”

“If you don’t have a place you belong to, you could sign up… this is also a joke.”

“Daegun, you’re being silly…”

When I thought about it, it could be said that the atmosphere that had been formed was warm.

While talking to the two men, I saw the females’ faces becoming more and more rotten. I felt like I could finally understand why they attacked me.

‘Aha…’

It’s so obvious that it’s hard to notice.

‘Whew. Are you really jealous?’

It was clear that they were jealous because of those two men, who were the clan’s center, coming to lick my feet.

My modest charm made me a queen bee even if I didn’t make a move.

‘The queen bee herself!’

They must’ve thought that I had stolen the men.

As if she was extremely bothered about Cheol-woo, Kook Minji’s face was especially a spectacle. She had the same expression as Jung Hayan.

The other women were no different.

Their delighted faces had already disappeared. It would be okay to assume that their bluish faces were getting worse. I couldn’t help but think of what I had to do.

But I thought I’d retreat for the day. As soon as I took a step back, expressions of relief stood out.

‘I’m not interested in dicks either, bitches. How about we get along well, hmm?’

Keeping a certain distance for smooth progress was only proper for me to do.

However, those crazy guys approached me all day long as if they had gone nuts, trying to indulge in small talk.

It kept happening from that point on until the moment we arrived at Crack Land.

‘What. Fuck. What’s wrong with these bastards? Why are you so clingy?’
