[Reader #2 Just Wants to be a Fan Girl] 30
Chapter 30
“A representative will arrive within 10 minutes. Please wait inside for a moment.”
The guide left me standing in front of the door.
“Huh… ha… huh… ha….”
I'm so nervous I'm going crazy.
Inside this room… is Ki Hyunmin.
If I open the door, there's my baby number 2's body!
'This is my first time seeing you up close!'
I saw Ki Hyunmin during the awakening test, but it was the first day of the possession, when I was in a panic thinking, 'Is I going to die again?', so I couldn't properly appreciate him. He was also far away that day, so his figure felt miniature in size.
But this time, I could be alone with my baby, sober, at close range, without distractions!
Oh, I'm shaking.
I barely managed to control my breathing and calm my trembling hands as I opened the door, and the figure sitting inside raised his head.
Slurp—
Ki Hyunmin raised his eyes and time slowed down.
It's not a lie.
My baby is moving slowly as if the world is in slow motion.
As expected, my child's handsomeness is on a different level! He's distorting time!!!!
If Gyun Junhwi is a pretty boy, Ki Hyunmin is a classic handsome guy.
Blue eyes that are a combination of natural gifts and ancient mystery.
A straight nose, a neat forehead, and straight eyebrows.
The jawline is sharp, almost to the point of disappearing. My baby chin exists only for courtesy.
I realized anew why the night sky is dark.
This was because they melted all the stars in the sky, pulled out a silver thread, and stuck it onto Ki Hyunmin's head.
The universe is under my baby's two feet!
“Aren’t you coming in?”

【Intimacy has been formed with the characters.】
【Would you like to check now? Y/N】
Ki Hyunmin is looking at me strangely as I froze in front of the door.
Yeah. Now is not the time.
Let's act naturally!
I managed to focus and looked into the waiting room, where there were seats. I stretched out my arms and legs and stepped forward, but my baby kept staring at me.
I feel like I should say something,
"Aa…."
My language skills have been broken for a long time.
“Ha, hi?”
“…….”
King Sejong, please give me a helping hand!
Please explain Hunminjeongeum again!
“Hey… Yeon Sora.”
I barely remembered my name, but my other language functions are still paralyzed.
But my right hand is extended far ahead of my torso, offering a handshake.
Right hand, why did I do that? This isn't a fan signing event...
At the moment when I was about to take my hand back,
“This is Ki Hyunmin.”
Surprisingly, Ki Hyunmin shook my hand.
His body temperature made contact.
A moment of emotion!
I'll bury myself here!
Heart, it's time to retire now. You've worked hard...
Tingle—
“Eek!”
I felt such a huge shock that I screamed without realizing it. It felt like a mini hedgehog had entered my blood vessel. It was a miracle that I didn't let go of his hand.
“Didn’t you feel static electricity just now?”
“There is no such thing.”
“Haha, was I mistaken?”
Embarrassed, I let go of my hand and scratched the back of my head.
It definitely felt like something cold was slippery, electric, and tingling… .
The first handshake with my love was so thrilling that my brain seemed to be overreacting.
What kind of nonsense is this?
But thanks to the shock just now, my language skills were restored.
“Sorry, I guess I’m not feeling well.”
The spirit that had left home also returned.
Welcome home!
Yeah, come to your senses, Yeon Sora!
I'm telling you, we have a very important mission today!
I rolled my eyes around and, as expected, Ki Hyunmin was staring at me.
“Can I talk about that day?”
“That day?”
“On the day of the awakening test.”
Yeah, now is not the time for me to be talking.
I haven't revealed my identity to the regressor yet.
* * *
Ki Hyunmin POV
For Ki Hyunmin, Sora was an incomprehensible variable.
'Why is this time different?'
There are always around 3 survivors of the awakening test.
Among them, there was no Sora.
She possesses firepower that even overwhelms the 7th Ranker, Yeon-hwa. Why did a being with that much power survive only in this round?
That wasn't the only strange thing.
There was one law of regression. It was the law that Ki Hyunmin was always at the center of change.
All changes start with Ki Hyunmin, and small distortions spread like dominoes, toppling each other.
'But there was no contact.'
Ki Hyunmin had no contact with Yeon Sora.
We didn't even exchange glances, let alone words, and our spheres of activity didn't even overlap.
Yet, she acted differently this time.
If Ki Hyunmin was not involved and the law was broken, there is only one possible cause.
'The enemy.'
The 'enemy' has power beyond common sense.
If Yeon Sora is in the enemy camp, all these questions can be explained. And if she is the enemy,
'Remove.'
Leaving the enemy alive will result in more lives being sacrificed.
If she is your enemy, I should eliminate her without hesitation.
However, verification is required. (tl/n: bro thinks like a robot, poor guy)
As he made up his mind, Yeon Sora finally appeared in front of Ki Hyunmin.
She had opened the waiting room door and stood there frozen, not moving at all.
“Aren’t you coming in?”
"Aa…."
She was barely able to move, but when she did, she had a strange gait, with his right arm and right foot extending forward at the same time.
“Ha, hi?”
“…….”
“Hey… Yeon Sora.”
The hand that asks for a handshake is shaking slightly.
Looking at that sight, Ki Hyunmin felt a sense of discomfort.
'This is too suspicious.'
This is the same attitude as a petty thief caught in the act.
But, this kind of attitude does not fit the characteristics of the 'enemy'.
They are secretive and cunning.
They never engage in any overtly suspicious behavior.
Still, this evidence alone cannot clear the charges.
Direct verification is required.
“This is Ki Hyunmin.”
Ki Hyunmin held Yeon Sora's hand and extended his senses to the life force flowing directly through her skin.
The human body is honest.
If you perceive the opponent as an enemy, the moment you sense their killing intent, you will instinctively prepare for an attack. Reason will later intervene and hide your aggressiveness, but your mana will inevitably take on a hostile aura for a critical moment.
Ki Hyunmin had the ability to sense that critical moment. It was his own sense that had been developed through countless battles.
“Eek! Didn’t you just feel static electricity?”
Sora could sense the killing intent.
but,
'What?'
Her magic was… calm.
Didn't even move a muscle.
Ki Hyunmin's eyes shook slightly at the unexpected result.
'Is it possible?'
A human who senses a threat to their life shows two reactions.
Attack or defense.
All living things are designed to take minimal defensive measures when they sense danger. However, Sora's reaction was not even a defense, not even a move of resistance.
'Don't you have any survival instincts?'
No, such a creature cannot exist.
Yeon Sora smiled at Ki Hyunmin, who was trying hard to hide his embarrassment.
“Haha, was I mistaken? Sorry, I’m not feeling well.”
A look of contempt.
That face was one of mockery and contempt, as if asking if he was trying to test her with such a shallow trick.
The blatant hostility only served to increase Ki Hyunmin's confusion.
Because the 'enemy' prefers a good mask.
“Can we talk about that day?”
“That day?”
“The day of the awakening test.”
Any a normal student wouldn't go to such a dangerous scene on the day of awakening. She would definitely give an excuse for her actions somehow.
Ki Hyunmin has prepared a rebuttal to every excuse. If he points out the logical flaws and pressure his opponent, they will definitely react.
“Why did you go to the Outbreak scene that day?”
But this time, Yeon Sora's answer went beyond his expectations.
“So… why did I go there?”
“…….”
“Actually, it wasn’t something I thought about or did, it was more like an impulse.”
Is this a sophisticated strategy?
So what does she gain from this answer?
I can't compute this at all.
“Why, they say that when people are about to die, they start doing things they normally wouldn’t do. Didn't I awaken right before I was killed by goblins, and that… what was it? Ah, adrenaline! Maybe it was because of that that I wasn't in my right mind.”
“…….”
“It’s not like I went to the scene because I wanted to die! No, I did think that I had to go even if I died. But I had seen my skills, so I had some faith in them… Also, I only received the mana potions after I arrived at the scene. In fact, if it weren’t for the potions the other hunters gave me, I think I might have died too….”
Seeing her spout out nonsense, Ki Hyunmin thought of a new possibility.
'Is she stupid?'
There is no logic or consistency in Yeon Sora's words and actions. It is even possible that they never existed in the first place.
Her survival instinct is also flawed. Her overt expression of contempt and her rush to the scene of the outbreak like a moth to a flame can be explained in that respect.
'I don't think she is that bad.'
The enemy is sophisticated and clever, preferring a stealthy approach that involves hiding in the shadows and attacking by surprise.
In every way, Sora is the exact opposite.
But hasty judgment is prohibited.
'I might be being used.'
It is clear that Yeon Sora's survival is a variable that deviates from the law. Perhaps the 'enemy' has kept her alive for some reason only in this episode.
It could be bait for later.
'I guess we'll just have to wait and see for now.'
* * *
‘Ah, I’m shaking… .’
I was so captivated by the gaze of my child that I ended up having a verbal frenzy.
I expected Ki Hyunmin to ask about my identity.
If an extra who survived only this episode is being treated as a national hero by suddenly unleashing a catastrophic pyromancy spell, it would only be polite to ask about his identity as a regressor.
My solution to that was to 'tell the truth (excluding the facts of the person who made the claim)'.
Of course, this is but a temporary solution.
'Because I can't reveal the official reason yet.'
The official reason I survived is 'because I am a prophet.'
The issue is that if I were to make the confession myself, the credibility would be too low.
If I had said with my own mouth, 'I am a prophet,' I would sound like a cult leader, don't you think?
Since ancient times, only the words spoken of you by someone else will be trusted.
Anyways, if we wait just a little bit, Ki Hyunmin and Gyun Junhwi will soon become best friends, and then Gyun Junhwi will probably cover for us at the right time.
'Okay, let's just continue being suspicious this time!'
The strategy is to give up this round cleanly and wait for a later date, rather than becoming a cult leader from the first round by overdoing it.
There is a risk that Ki Hyunmin will misunderstand me as a mastermind and get rid of me, but,
'It's okay! I trust my child!'
According to my interpretation of his character, that won't happen.
Ki Hyunmin is an absolute good character.
He may eliminate people associated with the underworld without mercy, but he never kills anyone based solely on suspicion.
Because he has an obsession with the weight of life.
Yeah, I believe in my character interpretation!
If you die because you didn't know your love properly, then you deserve to die!
Bam—
“Sorry I’m late! Have you been waiting for a long time?”
As the waiting room door opened, a person in a black suit entered.
The person in charge began his explanation by handing each of us a piece of paper.
“I will now explain the entrance ceremony procedures. First, please look at this.”
Ki Hyunmin, who had been reading my movements since a while ago, finally laid his eyes on the paper.
I think it might be a good time to check that out now.
Ki Hyunmin is looking at me strangely as I froze in front of the door. Yeah. Now is not the time. Let's act naturally! I managed to focus and looked into the waiting room, where there were seats. I stretched out my arms and legs and stepped forward, but my baby kept staring at me. I feel like I should say something, "Aa…."
