I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 132

Episode 133

“It’s not like that, but I thought this might be a bit strange. “How about Seo Ji-han?”

As I said before, he had overly sensitive senses to be in the same space with other people.

I told him it was okay, but wouldn’t it be too insensitive to believe that at face value?

Seo Ji-han may actually be uncomfortable with me, but he may not have been able to tell me.

“me? why me?”

“Is there anything uncomfortable?”

There is no way that living with me 24 hours a day and unilaterally adjusting to my life would not be uncomfortable. Because people have something called privacy.

Seo Ji-han probably has places he wants to go, people he wants to meet, and things he wants to do.

“I’m not uncomfortable at all! Are you uncomfortable with me?”

“It was a little uncomfortable at first, but now I feel reassured because I have Seo Ji-han.”

“Is that so? Are you feeling safe?”

He blushed slightly and scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

“If you have no complaints and I have no complaints, there is no problem. “Now let’s end this topic.”

After dismissing it like that, Seo Ji-han put the dishes on the table into the sink and put on rubber gloves with a familiar gesture.

As I was looking at that, I suddenly felt uneasy.

Is this okay? Is it really okay for the #1 person in the ranking who is gradually becoming more proficient in household chores?

“I’ll at least clean up after myself. “I also have shame.”

I was full, so I lifted my heavy body and approached the sink. However, Seo Ji-han gestured to the dining table chair with a straight face.

“You ran in the Demon Dragon King dungeon for a long time. You must be tired, so sit down and rest.”

“But not like this. “Those pink rubber gloves don’t really suit Seo Ji-han.”

“Oh yeah? Should I buy a new one in black? No. “Would you like to choose?”

For a moment, I thought he was joking, but when I saw him seriously lifting the rubber gloves and examining them, it seemed like he was serious.

“No, it’s not that problem. If Ban Seo-hoo sees this, he will cry. “There is dignity in being number one in the rankings.”

“That guy doesn’t know whether he’s wailing or his eyeballs are falling out while crying.”

“If Ban Seo-hoo hears that, I’m going to cry.”

Seo Ji-han shrugged his shoulders as if it wasn’t really part-time business. Then he gently pushed me to sit on a chair at the dining table and began washing the dishes in earnest.

“Seo Ji-han, isn’t there somewhere you want to go?”

“Specifically?”

“Is there anyone you want to do or meet?”

“Who do you want to meet? Nothing in particular. Ah. “There is something I want to do, but…”

“What is it?”

He, who was diligently washing and rinsing the dishes, suddenly stopped. Then he glanced at me and smiled meaningfully.

“If I tell you, will you help me?”

“Do you need my help? Of course I should help you. Seo Ji-han has helped me so much so far.”

“Really? I see…”

“So what is it? “What I want to do.”

Instead of answering, Seo Ji-han just cleaned the dishes in silence.

I pressed him for an answer several times, but his expression seemed troubled, as if he were weighing something.

Is it difficult? However, with Seo Ji-han’s combat sense, my firepower, and my item farming ability, there is nothing impossible in this world.

“It’s a bit hard to say right now, but I’ll tell you later.”

Well, I’m busy closing the dungeon right now, but the situation is a bit different.

Seo Ji-han also has a deep heart. Look at how considerate I am for worrying about it for no reason.

“Oh yeah.”

“huh. But don’t forget that you said you would help.”

Seo Ji-han looked at me with strangely shining eyes and asked for a confirmation.

Is it difficult?

However, I want to support and help Seo Ji-han, who has no place he wants to go and no one he wants to meet, and the only thing he wants to do is whatever it is.

“yes. “I will definitely help you.”

Although I felt a bit burdened, I nodded firmly.

“thank you.”

He smiled satisfactorily, looking as if he had caught a large game. I also felt better.

By the way, Seo Ji-han also had something he wanted to do. yes. It’s not like he’s an appendage to me, that’s natural.

“I have to go to the dungeon tomorrow morning, so I’ll slowly release it into reality. “Is there anything else I can order?”

“no. Seo Ji-han, is there anything else you want to do?”

“I’m fine. I’ll solve the materialization. “I want to solve it quickly and get the cooldown back quickly.”

With those words, Seo Ji-han’s body became transparent. After watching that scene, I impulsively opened my mouth.

“Wouldn’t it be better to separate the living space? “Mr. Ban Seo-jin may also feel uncomfortable.”

There is a saying that it is better to maintain a relationship by living apart rather than living close together.

There isn’t much of a problem now, but in the beginning, small things pile up and explode.

As a precaution, it would be a good idea to have separate places to live for each person.

– Ban Seo-jin?

“yes? yes.”

Seo Ji-han looked at me with a very hurt expression.

– Are you saying you’re going to kick me out because of Ban Seo-jin?

“No, I’m not saying we’re going to kick you out. Why does it make sense like that?”

– I knew a day like this would come someday. It was ominous ever since Ban Seo-jin said he lived here…

“No.”

– I sacrificed my whole life to be loyal. To throw away your only subject like this. He

buried his face in his palms and cried. Seo Ji-han, who was pretending, was acting no matter who could see.

If he had acted like that while incarnated, I would have felt restless because of his presence.

But since Seo Ji-han, the ghost, is comfortable, I can take it without a big deal.

“You’re throwing it away. And the only one.” You’re not even a subject. There’s Mr. Elfanis and Mr. Rodran…”

– Okay… I don’t need him anymore.

I didn’t answer any further to see where Seo Ji-han was going.

This person’s personality has also changed a lot.

Until I first met him, it was hard to imagine him pulling a prank like this.

– If you want to go out, you should go out….

After saying that, Seo Ji-han suddenly became possessed by the straw doll that was placed next to the stairs.

Then he held the half-used wet wipes lying around in his arms, looked up at me, and continued acting.

– Even if I kick you out, just let me take care of this. Because it’s a very useful item… you could probably dry it and use it as a blanket.

“You’re not going to sleep in that body anyway.”

– Sobbing.

When I coolly rebutted, Seo Ji-han buried his face in his hands and rustled the straw again and pretended to cry.

Then he walked over and pushed the door open slightly, looking back at me with a sad expression before going out through the crack in the door.

No, you’re really good at acting!

I thought he would come back soon and end the prank, but there was no news from Seo Ji-han who left like that as time passed.

Surely he hasn’t really gone somewhere far away? No, that can’t be true.

I’m sure it’s a joke. Otherwise, I’ll have to take my straw body out to the Azure.

“Mr. Seo Ji-han?”

I called out to see if he was standing in the doorway, but there was no response.

I was also worried, so I went out the door. I saw a small straw doll squatting at the edge of a darkened lake.

He was looking around as if he had been waiting for me to come out the whole time, but it was clear that he was pretending not to notice.

“what are you doing?”

When I got closer, I saw that they had just piled up pebbles to create something like a stone hut.

How does it not collapse when it is so sloppily built? He’s really talented too.

– I decided to live here from today.

Seo Ji-han noticed my gaze looking at the cobblestone house and spoke quickly.

I was shocked and speechless for a moment. No really. No….

“What is all this doing?”

A straw doll that pretends to be lonely and casts its gaze towards the lakeside.

How far should I take this prank?

but. How far can it go? Until Seo Ji-han gets sick of it.

Seo Ji-han already has no hobbies, so if this kind of prank was fun, I had an obligation to accept it.

Because I am the one who developed this sense of playfulness. It’s like being self-employed.

“It was just a light suggestion. If Seo Ji-han wants to stay, he can stay as long as he wants.”

– really?

“sure. They’re kicking out the existing housemate just because they have a new housemate. “How on earth did you come up with that idea?”

uh? But we’re not even housemates in the first place.

– Still… am I going in for no reason and making you and Ban Seo-jin uncomfortable?

Seo Ji-han’s voice, which was almost theatrical, was a bit serious now.

It seemed like he was probably only half sincere. Was it bothering me that I kept mentioning the word ‘inconvenience’?

I feel like I can finally feel how disappointed he was, and my heart aches without realizing it. Yes, I did too much.

“It’s inconvenient.”

– There’s no need to think about it and tell me. If I have to go out, I’ll go out. But only until I find a place to stay for a while….

“Oh, where are we going! “Live with me forever!”

I shouted out loud in anger, and Seo Ji-han, who had his back turned to me the whole time, glanced back at me.

– forever?

“yes! “As much as Seo Ji-han wants!”

– okay?

The straw doll stood up and kicked the stone house made of cobblestones.

Seo Ji-han, who had completely destroyed the stone house he had built, cheerfully led the way toward the house.

– What are you doing? Let’s go in. It’s chilly in the evening!

Seo Ji-han seemed very energetic, as if he had been depressed for some time.

If you think about it, there was no way Seo Ji-han cared about Ban Seo-jin’s feelings.

You got hit. This is how you repay me for making fun of you in the Geogis Dungeon.

“Okay….”

When I returned home and checked my phone, I saw a message from Eundam Yoo.

Wow, you’re really amazing. I’m really going crazy right now. Take a look at the internet. (оﾟдﾟо)

There’s a mess? The emoticon seemed excited, but I felt a little uneasy.

Why didn’t you write down the reason? If you have time to write the emoticon, please add an explanation. –

Why is your expression so dark?

“Look here. I heard there’s an uproar. What’s going on… .”

I showed my phone to Seo Ji-han who approached me and he clicked his tongue briefly.

– That’s pretty much it. It must be a story related to dungeons.

What is it? Has it become known to the world that monsters will soon appear in the dungeon?

As soon as I

opened the Internet window and accessed the portal site, I realized the reason. Article titles with similar meanings were all over the site.

〈Breaking News〉Demon Dragon King Geogis Dungeon disappears! The culprit is…

Daehan Guild Han Oh-su, the guild leader, ‘We must stop the selfish monopolization of rankers’

Geogis Dungeon disappears. What will be the impact on the economy?

〈Breaking News〉Chungking Jirgis Dungeon has also been confirmed to have disappeared.

Dungeon disappearance threatens hunters’ right to survive! What is the punishment?

From articles that omit the last part to encourage clicks to articles that explicitly create hostility.

Just looking at the title makes me feel dizzy.

I’m already tired from going through the Demon Dragon King dungeon, but I’m feeling drained.
