Chapter 48 – Rule 20. The Leader Relies on the Vice Leader (1)
I rode the rift created by Geumyang to my home.
‘Amazing.’
I was astonished at how such precise coordinate settings were possible.
Teleporting from the training ground to my home was still beyond my capabilities. Even short-range teleportation was not something I could do freely.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. But kid, I need to wash up.”
Huh?
“Didn’t you wash up yesterday?”
“I have a spring in my labyrinth, so I can wash there. But I prefer to wash with warm water here.”
“Don’t undress here.”
“Why not?”
I firmly stopped Geumyang, who was taking off her top, revealing her slender abdomen.
In the end, I had to teach her how to undress and wash in the shower room.
Geumyang claimed she had learned all this by observing my daily life, clicking her tongue and saying, “You’re a fussy one.”
“I’ll emphasize it again: don’t expose yourself in front of others.”
“Ha, you’re something else...”
Geumyang smirked, closed her eyes, and shrugged her shoulders, seemingly more troubled than I was.
“I do have that level of common sense. But kid, aren’t we practically one and the same? It shouldn’t matter if I undress in front of you...”
“Don’t undress in front of me either.”
“?”
“I’ll leave new clothes here. Wash up and come out.”
“Alright, fine. What a bother.”
Perhaps tired of persuading me, Geumyang reluctantly agreed and went into the shower room.
After washing up, Geumyang came out wearing a white T-shirt. Since it was my shirt, it was oversized, covering her groin with the hem.
“Whew...”
She plopped down on the sofa with a wet towel around her neck.
The living room became humid, and the scent of shampoo and body wash wafted from Geumyang.
She smiled contentedly as if melting away.
“I feel refreshed...”
When you look closely, she has her cute moments.
“I’m going to wash up too.”
“Hey, come here for a moment.”
“?”
‘Still... mastering my abilities should come first.’
I didn’t have to commute with her all the time.
I needed to set my priorities straight.
Well, I could show Baek-seo my unique ability and explain it to her.
“I was just thinking about something. I’ll do it.”
“Good.”
“By the way, can I introduce you to someone?”
Geumyang immediately gave me a suspicious look.
“...Are you talking about Oh Baek-seo?”
“You figured it out right away.”
Geumyang was someone I would have to be closely associated with, and she was essentially a ‘female.’ No, fundamentally, she wasn’t an ordinary person, so perhaps I should say a female creature. Anyway.
I wanted to introduce her to Baek-seo in advance to prevent any misunderstandings or conflicts.
“I don’t mind, but...”
“You look like you don’t like it.”
Geumyang made a distasteful face.
“Let’s postpone meeting her. I don’t really want to encounter her.”
“Why?”
“There are reasons.”
Why is that?
Could it be that she also has some shyness?
I nodded. It was important to respect the person’s wishes in such matters.
“Understood. Next time then.”
“Sure. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
Feeling burdened by the thought of being introduced to someone, Geumyang quickly stood up from the sofa and looked at me.
“See you tomorrow.”
She waved her hand with a graceful farewell.
“Rest well.”
Crack!
Geumyang created a rift in the air and disappeared through it. The rift vanished right after.
She had returned to her labyrinth, her so-called ‘home.’
Silence returned to the house.
‘Maybe I should drink some water before washing up.’
I headed to the kitchen.
“?”
