We stayed peacefully in our rooms and didnt leave until nightfall.

We were worried that wed draw undue attention if we left for dinner (since Kim Sangyoon stands out), so we solved that problem through room service. While we were eating, the two vengeful ghosts whispered to each other in low voices, plotting and revising a route with the map.

Or, just send Kim Sangyoon into the hallway first. Hyung can approach from the other side

Hm, We could do thatBut it depends on whether Kim Sangyoon can last five minutes until I arrive.

Lets put that on hold then. How about you both go through the entrance

Of course, at this point, Seo Dawon and Jung Garam have yet to manifest themselves, so I was the only one listening carefully to their planning.

And this [mapping skill]It seems that view of the hologram wasnt shared with Kim Sangyoon.? Can only the Necromancer and his servants see it?

[Choi Lee-kyung: MappingCan Kim Sangyoon not see it?]

[Seo Dawon: Nah, though its possible after party invite]

[Choi Lee-kyung: So, not now?]

[Jung Garam: Uhuh]

Through the [message] app, I was told that skills can be shared with party invitations. Thats a reliefKim Sangyoons specs were low in the first place, so itll be exhausting if his vision was not augmented.

During this conversation, I locked eyes with the Warrior without much intentHe suddenly asked me a question, UmLee-kyung-nimDo you perhaps have accessories or armor enchanted with [Shield]?

What? Ah, noI have a combat uniformbut I dont have any accessories yet.

As soon as Kim Sangyoon opened his mouth, the two servants unnaturally suspended their debate and blatantly stared at us.

Of course, Kim Sangyoon could not see them so he couldnt feel the weight of their staresAs for me, I couldnt help but notice the inexplicably piercing gazenervously, I couldnt help but wonder what was running through their minds.

Kim Sangyoon hesitated a little, before speaking with a hint of embarrassment, Uh, well.I know an old friend who works as an alchemist in an enchanting workshop.

Ah? Yes?

He had some decent accessories, so I brought them here.

Yes?

Then, without allowing me a chance to properly respond, Kim Sangyoons arm suddenly disappeared into some midair void. After reappearing, he unfurled his large fist in front of menestled in his palm was a necklace with a slightly burdensome 1 design.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

How should I say thisIts honestly a little too flashy for me. Gold filigree in the shape of twisted branches surrounded a transparent, rhombus-shaped jewelThiswould fit a delicate beauty more than me. And dont tell meis that jewel a diamond?

UhYoure giving this to me?

.Yes. I think you should have at least one accessory embedded with the [Shield] enchantment. Ah! And its not some one-off disposable item; its multi-use.

I hesitated because it looked far too expensive, but Kim Sangyoon continued to explain its function: the shield could be used up to three times. Besides, it was somehow hard to reject this gift.

If I said it was too much hereI felt like he would go cry alone in the bathroom. So I had no choice but to accept that gift with both hands, politely.

When my hands grasped the item, a [system message] had popped up.

After reading the description on the [system message], I thought it was a much better item than I had originally imagined. So, I felt even stronger guilt for accepting this present. Disregarding the design, the items aspects are too good

But I couldnt really reject it after acceptingI bowed my head in thanks once again. Reallythank you so much. I dont have anything prepared right nowIll make sure to rustle up something to give in return next time.

No! Theres no need to reciprocate. He murmured, How could I dare His mutters were somewhat tragicperhaps I really should buy him something from the money left in my bank account

Shall I put it on for you? The Warrior asked.

What?

I didnt expect him to offer to personally adorn my neck with the necklace.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

I replied, Ah, no need! Ill put it on later before we leave!

Perhaps Kim Sangyoon realized how over the top his offer was, he stopped in the middle of walking towards me. Yes yes. He turned and sat back down againthe tips of his ears bright red.

A deathly silence sank its claws into the room.

It looks like you got a confession, Choi Lee-kyung? Jung Garams smug voice suddenly stabbed me in the back.

I turned my head to glare at him, telling him to knock it off. However, Jung Garam did not just stop at teasing me, but also snatched the necklace from my hands.

Jung Garam wore a monocletaken from who knows whereand observed the necklace upon the desk with a ferocity that resembled animosity.

[Choi Lee-kyung: What are you doing -_-]

I double-checked to make sure Kim Sangyoon was not looking my way before sending a protesting message to Jung Garam

Jung Garam took off his monocle and threw it into his inventory. Its a bit low-quality, but the centerpiece is a mana stone? He mumbled, reluctantly admiring. You know mana stones jewelry are way more expensive than gems, right? This would be worth an apartment.

When I heard that, I was shocked.

The price of an apartmentI expected it to be expensive, but I didnt know it would run in hundreds of millions. Hes not lying, right??

[Choi Lee-kyung: Its that expensive??]

Ignoring my question, Jung Garam rather calmly evaluated the value, I guess hes not a cheapskate.

This isnt even in the ballpark of considering him a cheapskate! Who just buys someone an apartment as a gift? Is it alright for me to receive something like this? To be honest, I expected the necklace to be anywhere from a few thousand to 100 million wonitems are usually pricier than normal jewelry. I never imagined it would be at least ten times my expectation.

So, I seriously considered returning it back to the Warrior nowSuddenly, Jung Garam rummaged something out of his inventory and tossed it on the desk next to the table.

A black bracelet threaded with thick beads.

Hey. Put this on. Jung Garam brusquely pushed the bracelet with a finger and sent it rolling towards me.

Even before I touched it, I could see its extraordinary shineso much that I was afraid to handle itWhen I froze, Jung Garam crumpled his brow and huffed, Why arent you wearing it?

[Choi Lee-kyung: But]

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

[Choi Lee-kyung: Im okay ^^;;]

I rejected him through a message, trying to calm him down.

But.

What do you mean youre okay! Youre so sloppy, you might as well have good items. Jung Garam did not back down. Just grab it and take a look at its data. You were fast to snatch up whatever that boar gave you He obstinately grabbed my arm.

Since he is such a cute, young guy, I completely forgot that he is a well-known close-range physical class ranker. I shook my arm with all my strength, but he held it still. I was so surprised at the unbecoming strength that I couldnt control my expression.

However, when he saw my stunned expression, Jung Garam gave a pleased smirk; he slyly claspedhandcuffedthe bracelet on my wrists.
