“It was too reckless.”
A girl is crouching in a room, whispering to someone.
The white-haired girl, hugging her knees with her hands clasped, is only showing her back to me, so I cannot see her expression and can only blankly listen to her whispering.
“Surely, we learned from the last kidnapping that although the protection is undoubtedly a powerful ability, it can’t guarantee everything even if it protects one’s life.”
However, there was no need to just listen to her whispers, so I approached the girl. With each step, I felt an increasing heaviness.
As if this world was desperately trying to keep me from reaching her.
“Or is it because you don’t know how to handle your ability? Since I can’t teach you anymore, you need to figure out how to control it. But it’s too late to look for incidents, and I can’t intentionally start a fight…”
Therefore, I realized I was disappearing from this place before I could fully approach the long-haired woman.
“Find Eun-gwang. Although Inna might be good, if she left your side, ask the student council president for a clue in exchange for clearing her debt. When you find Eun-gwang and truly face her, then you will…”
The owner of the body I’m currently borrowing turned her head and looked at me.
“…obtain all the power I once possessed. The kind of strength that can overwhelm even a pack of ordinary beasts.”
As her words continued, her voice softened, but I could still hear everything she said.
“—Stay strong, me.”
Including her final encouraging words.
[Defeat. Again, defeat. There were many reasons we could have lost — insufficient battle experience and the number of enemies — but this was a fight we absolutely could not afford to lose.]
“…Waking up to nagging right away is too much.”
Cradling my throbbing head with my hand, I got up from the bed and assessed the situation. It was unfamiliar, but definitely not a motel. The place where I lay was someone’s room.
If I had been captured by them, there’s a high chance I would have been tied up. So someone probably saved me.
[Despite escaping this situation through a series of lucky coincidences, your status as the strongest supernatural ability user has still been compromised. If this goes beyond the sub-heroine level and you end up relegated to merely an extra, the system itself will be erased.]
Then, who was that someone?
While I was trying to figure out the situation, the system kept delivering messages without hesitation.
So far, I thought I was the strongest supernatural ability user?
The system’s words sounded almost mocking. Somehow, the setting included being a study genius and the strongest supernatural ability user.
And now, with everything shaking, I could even become an extra. If the system is erased because of that…
“What’s wrong with that?”
If it mattered, it meant the system could only be erased when it had served its purpose. Immediately after I spoke, the system displayed a large red message.
[The system is currently continuing to protect the user’s mind in a spiritual form. If the system is erased, you will be more vulnerable to abilities like mind control or brainwashing.]
“What? You’ve been playing with my brain this whole time?!”
Though I already knew what the system was trying to say, I pretended not to as I exited the room.
Sure enough, as expected, there was no one outside, so I investigated what seemed to be someone’s home without restriction.
By looking out the window, I could easily tell where I was. Since this was inside an apartment complex, it must be someone’s apartment.
So whose is it? The answer was on a piece of paper on the dining table.
[Since I’ll be busy, I just wrote you a note. Take the side dishes I prepared in the fridge, eat as you please, and since it’s dangerous outside, either leave with me or try moving just the essentials during the day. – Han Ye-seul]
Could it have been Han Ye-seul who saved me in that situation?
Her ability with sound is quite powerful, especially in confrontations against groups, but if they got close enough to attack, she wouldn’t have been able to defend herself, right?
Maybe she overwhelmed them by using her voice to issue commands.
It’s impossible to know without asking her directly, so instead of pondering how Han Ye-seul managed to win against them, I read through the system’s messages again.
[Would you like to disable the system’s mental protection barrier?]
Since the system decided to dismantle the barrier just because I showed a little suspicion, it seems to have its own “ego.”
This overly neutral behavior makes it unclear whether it’s friendly or hostile toward me.
“Then, no matter the field, it means I absolutely cannot afford to lose, right? Well, that’s all there is to it.”
Given there’s no one around, muttering to myself while Han Ye-seul is absent is fine, but if she were here, there might have been misunderstandings, ranging from being mistaken for a mentally ill person to various other interpretations.
‘I should really try to break the habit of talking to myself.’
As I grabbed food from the fridge, following the suggestion left by the homeowner, I quietly reflected.
“You, why are you leaving already?”
“…?”
After finishing my meal, I did the dishes and immediately left.
Going out at night might invite another attack, so just like Inna did, I planned to quickly pack my things and move here.
However, outside the entrance was an unexpected girl waiting. Was she waiting for me? Or is she Han Ye-seul’s relative? Or perhaps another friend?
[Stalker – Jia]
[Role: Hidden Heroine]
[Ability: Concealed]
[Favorability: 0/20]
[Due to an ERROR, your current rank is unstable. You can temporarily view her profile as if she were a main heroine.]
[Her role is hidden and must remain so in this world. However, even someone like her, who must remain hidden from the world, has one desire: to win the affection of the owner of the house you were just staying in.
Meaning, she is deeply troubled about what to do with you, who were brought home by her idol. Are you just her friend? Or her lover?
Since this girl doesn’t know that the person Han Ye-seul likes is Kim Ha-neul, she currently doubts you. Remove her suspicions so that she does not become hostile toward you.
Even the main heroine doesn’t know her ability. You know what that implies. Currently, she has no intention of pursuing any romantic connection with you.]
So far, the system’s message has been unusually detailed, even including information unrelated to her Favorability.
Surely, this feels like the system trying to justify its inefficiency by pointing out I haven’t elevated my rank while it is still necessary.
“Hey, you! Can’t you hear me?”
Half-closed eyes always exude menace, that’s a given rule.
Especially with her distinctive pink twin-tail hairstyle, she pointed at me.
Her heavy backpack looked as though it weighed more than her entire body, yet there was no visible strain in her posture.
Such physical prowess among those with supernatural abilities is quite common. It’s admirable, given that I only gain such physical abilities by suppressing my own power.
“…Uh, by any chance, you’re… um, a healer? I’ve seen you heal people before! A therapist! Could you be here because our sister is hurt?”
I merely stared blankly at her, but somehow, she interpreted my expression as some odd confirmation and started speaking nonsensical words.
It’s hilarious that this world seems to think it operates like an RPG game with healers. What’s even funnier is that among my abilities, there is none that can heal people.
I must’ve mistaken her for someone else.
Unless she mistook me for someone related to this body by bl**d, or someone who merely resembles this body closely.
Or unless there are other hidden abilities tied to this body or some unknown way to use the powers I possess.
Thus, I’ll treat her words as a future plot development to address later and focus solely on her, the stalker acknowledged by the system.
“No, I’m here as a precaution against unforeseen circumstances.”
Han Ye-seul said she was being stalked.
Without Han Ye-seul here, I’ve met what appears to be the stalker right outside the house.
So what’s the probability that the girl in front of me isn’t the stalker Han Ye-seul mentioned?
I’d say it’s 100%.
‘There’s no way this would be resolved so simply.’
Given the system had determined there’s nothing much left in Han Ye-seul’s scenario, which is supposed to be at its latest stages, the final antagonist of this chapter couldn’t have emerged so simply without the need for any deduction.
Of course, with no guarantee this visual novel is a masterpiece, there’s still a possibility my perfect reasoning may be flawed. Still, I somehow feel this reasoning is correct.
[bl**d Erosion.]
It almost feels like the bl**d Erosion’s enhancement of intuition isn’t just exclusive to combat but also applies to this realm of deduction.
“Ah, well… since you might as well be like my sister, I’ll tell you this: there are paparazzi lurking in the apartment complex, so if Han Ye-seul happens to be here, it’d be best to leave without being noticed.”
Whether she’s aware that I suspect her or not, the girl, who’s decided I’m a healer, earnestly informed me about the paparazzi lurking below.
“Even if you’re here to heal our sister, causing trouble for her would be disastrous, got it?”
“Okay.”
So I don’t need to make her an enemy.
Even if she’s a real stalker, befriending her would make it easier to betray her later.
In such a way, I was bid farewell by the half-closed-eyed girl, who knows nothing but her affection for Han Ye-seul. As she watched me wait for the elevator, she disappeared into the adjoining apartment.
If she’s a neighbor, would Han Ye-seul have any knowledge of her?
With that thought in mind, I returned to the place that has now become my home.
