Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 292



292. Alice is Confused.

Mweong─

Alice, who had returned to her room, was staring blankly into space.

The unique weapon given to her.

The sword called Eunwoldo, not a sword, but a weapon that had taken the form of a lump of iron, was placed on her hand.

– This, for now…! Let’s go, let’s disband! We’ll disband, okay! If you’re using that as a training tool, Alice, I’ll find a suitable artifact and give it to you. Go ahead and take a look!

Shin Se-hee spoke in a flustered tone, hastily dispersing the party in a chaotic atmosphere.

But it had already been etched into Alice’s retina for a long time.

‘What’s that?’

The light that had suddenly poured down from Jin Yu-ha’s head without any warning.

In that light, an expression of despair seemed to be etched, and a face that seemed to be enduring pain.

And.

And.

And.

When all that process was over.

Alice couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

After all, right before her eyes, the body of a real man was vividly revealed, alive and moving.

Eyes as dark as pitch.

Skin damp with sweat.

Clothes that had become more revealing than concealing, torn in places.

And the muscles, which she had never even considered when he was dressed, were now flexing and relaxing with each rough breath, asserting their presence.

Squeak—

Jin Yu-ha tore a part of his almost non-existent clothing and bit into it.

He narrowed his brows, brushing back his wet hair with his hand, tying his long hair behind him.

Alice couldn’t take her eyes off him for even a moment.

Gulp—

She involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.

Strangely, her body felt a tingling sensation.

Unknowingly recalling the image of Jin Yu-ha she had seen during the day, Alice’s face flushed bright red.

For someone like her, who had spent her entire life secluded in a valley, encountering men only through cartoons or animations, the sudden sight of Jin Yu-ha’s bare body was overwhelmingly provocative.

Although it was winter, her body somehow grew hot.

‘Why, why did I suddenly take off my clothes and go crazy─!! Ah, no, let’s think of something else. Something else!!’

She shook her head from side to side and tapped her cheeks.

Yes, today was really eventful.

She had mixed with new people in a new place,

seen other people’s abilities,

shown off her own honed sword, and even engaged in a sparring match.

She had also received a subtle weapon between her sword and spear.

‘And I attacked that guy with all my might… but he easily dodged it.’

Of course, it was incomparable to the Sword Emperor.

What could she say? Her grandmother was so powerful that it seemed like she could crush her opponents with just her strength.

It was as if she was a technically perfect person.

The Sword Emperor was a wall of a different kind.

‘And this weapon… if I master it and attack, can I win?.”

She forced herself to think of something else, but Jin Yuha’s image kept floating up in her mind.

With this crescent moon sword in hand, I face Jin Yu-ha.

And, with clothes torn to shreds, he swings his sword towards me….

“Uggghhh!! Why, why does he keep popping up in my mind?!”

Alice buried her face in her knees, her legs trembling.

No matter how hard she tries to think of something else, her thoughts keep drifting back to him.

Suddenly!

Alice stiffened her face and stood up.

“It’s no use… I need to train.”

I have to get used to this new sword, after all.

“But it’s nighttime… Is it okay to just go out and train?”

Her naturally timid nature made her worry.

This wasn’t her original home, Taebaek Mountain, but a stranger’s house.

“I should ask if it’s okay to train… But who should I ask?”

And once again, Jin Yu-ha appeared in her mind.

“No, no! Not that man! Someone else!”

For some reason, whenever I faced him, I had a strong intuition that I wouldn’t be able to say a single word correctly, let alone look at his face.

“It seemed that Shinsehee, that woman, was the one who came after Jinyuha.”

I heard that she was in charge of managing and overseeing the party’s operations.

And if it was Shinsehee’s words, other women would follow suit, it seemed.

So, finding her was the right thing to do.

Alice grasped the crescent moon-shaped ornament in one hand and headed towards the elevator.

“Shinsehee’s room… was it on the 3rd floor?”

Click!

As soon as I pressed the 3 button, I felt a sense of weightlessness in my body.

Ding!

Before long, Alice arrived at Shinsehee’s floor.

And through the slightly ajar door, she could hear someone chatting in a hushed tone.

“Who’s she with… whatever, it’s none of my business.”

Since I came to ask if I could use the training room, it didn’t matter even if there was a guest.

Tap, tap, tap.

I pushed open the slightly ajar door.

“You’re open. Come in.”

Inside, I heard Shinsehee’s gentle voice.

Following her words, I opened the door and went in.

“……?”

An absurd scene unfolded before me.

On the long table, wine and snacks were lined up.

The people sitting there were all party members, excluding Jinyuha and Ichika.

And what caught Alice’s attention was…

Right.

On the opposite side of the table, Jinyuha’s figure was being projected, filling an entire wall.

“What, what is this……!?”

Shinsehee’s eyes also widened in surprise as she turned her head.

“Oh, it’s not Ichika-san!? Why are you here……?”

Shinsehee and the other party members seemed just as flabbergasted as I was.

“I’m late.”

And Ichika came in from behind her.

She passed by herself, then looked up and down with a swift glance.

Then, with a tilted head and an emotionless voice, she asked,

“Are you invited too?”

* * *

Shinsehee was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected Alice to come find her.

‘Why did this woman come here?….

Today was a gathering for the Utopia party members, excluding Jinyuha.

A casual get-together to drink and watch Jinyuha’s video.

Last time, during the height of the conflict, they had only taken a few photos, courtesy of Sophia.

This time, to avoid making the same mistake, they had recorded a video.

‘…Ichika-san came late, so I naturally thought it was Ichika-san.”

Alice was staring at Jinyuha’s video with a stiff, frozen face.

‘If this woman were to rush to Jin Yu-ha right now and tell him about this…?’

He would undoubtedly scorn her.

It’s unbearable to think that her trusted party members are watching a video of her naked from behind, no matter how you spin it.

But there was no other choice.

A surge of emotions.

After seeing that, she wouldn’t even be able to make eye contact with Jin Yu-ha the next day.

Normally, it takes immense patience to hide her feelings in front of him.

But after seeing that, her mind would be preoccupied with Jin Yu-ha’s image all day, making it impossible to focus on anything else.

That’s why she has to keep watching it repeatedly to get used to it, so she can have a normal conversation with him the next day.

‘What do I do…?’

It’s too late now that she’s seen it.

It was a mistake she wouldn’t normally make.

Her mind was frozen, filled with Jin Yu-ha’s image.

‘Is there no other way?’

“Come in.”

She swallowed a rising sigh and let her in the room.

“······What?”

“What are you doing over there? I said to come in.”

Alice hesitated, her pupils shaking as she lifted her foot awkwardly.

“Isn’t it not okay for her, her to come in here…?”

Yuri spoke in a stiff, hardened voice.

“I thought it was Ichika, but Alice came instead.”

“How did she end up here?”

Kang Dohee shot back with a sharp voice.

“······I was wondering if I could use the training room.”

“Ah, is that how it is.”

“Sehee, what are you going to do?”

“Hmm, there’s no choice. Since she saw something she shouldn’t have, we either silence her or… eliminate her…”

Gulp.

Alice took a step back under the hostile gazes of everyone.

If you need any further adjustments or additional context, feel free to ask!

However, Shin Se-hee shrugged and spat it out.

“I can’t do it, so I have no choice but to drag you in.”

“Is that the only way it can be?”

Everyone was in an uncomfortable position, so they couldn’t help but look at her with displeasure, but they couldn’t kick her out.

Alice was forced to sit next to Shin Se-hee in the uncomfortable atmosphere.

Tap tap─

“Let’s start the appreciation time again from the beginning.”

Jin Yu-ha’s video started playing again.

“Wow, Jin Yu-ha seems to have gotten even stronger this time…”

“Hmm, that’s because the lazy one doesn’t spare any effort.”

“In that sense, the ability the junior got this time, was it Saro and Halo? It’s definitely a well-obtained ability.”

“Maybe now he’ll stop rushing into dangerous places?”

“It’s not necessarily so. Maybe now that Jin Yu-ha can use a safe sword, he’ll actually take even more risks than before.”

“That’s what a hero would do.”

Alice, who had suddenly joined the group, felt dizzy in her head.

What on earth are these women doing now?

Watching a video of Jin Yu-ha on the large screen, drinking, and chatting away.

“…Why, something like this.”

Alice mustered up the courage to ask Shin Se-hee, who was sitting next to her.

Shin Se-hee glanced at Alice and then turned back to watch the video of Jin Yu-ha, opening her mouth to speak.

“You said you came to ask me to use the training room, right?”

“…Huh.”

“I think I know why. You probably couldn’t stop thinking about Jin Yu-ha after you went back to your room. Even if it was just for a moment, hours must have passed by now.”

“!”

Shin Se-hee grabbed the stem of her wine glass and took a sip.

“You probably couldn’t think of anything else, and no matter what you thought about, it all led back to Jin Yu-ha. So, you probably wanted to find a training room to work out. You thought that if you moved your body, you might be able to clear your mind. Am I right?”

“How did you…?”

Alice stared at Shin Se-hee with a shocked expression.

Everything she said was correct.

Her words were like a precise dissection of Alice’s thoughts, as if she had peeked into her mind.

Shin Se-hee let out a deep sigh.

“You all did it, so…”

“What… did everyone do?”

Alice looked around at the people who were staring at the screen with bewildered gazes.

“Should I tell you what’s going to happen to you from now on?”

“What… is going to happen in the future?”

“Yes, from today on, you won’t be able to love anyone, not even Jin Yu-ha.”

“What…?”

“You won’t find any other man attractive, and your gaze will only follow Jin Yu-ha.”

Shin Se-hee’s voice was firm and resolute,

and it sounded eerily like a curse.

“Every time you see Jin Yu-ha, your face will turn red. You’ll become greedy for him. You’ll wish you had taken better care of yourself, and your mood for the day will be decided by the little attention he gives you.”

“That’s impossible! I’ve only known him for a few days…”

Shin Se-hee’s eyes showed a hint of pity.

“Time doesn’t matter. It’s all about whether you’ve seen it or not.”

As she did so, Shin Se-hee clicked her tongue.

A pure white light began to pour down from above Jin Yu-ha’s head in the video.

“If you see that magnificent light even once, you’ll eventually fall in love with him, no matter what.”

With those words, Shin Se-hee wore a sly smile on her lips.
