Ye Ilhoo lowered his def9a01808 gaze with the hand 418cb23902 he had stretched toward 5cd3524b6a me. Watching him clench 2d7de6cfa1 and unclench his 00b61cf650 fist made my 98e4ffa1f5 spine tingle, as 749e9cb852 if he was 9321f21163 gauging how hard 0370e4bd14 to hit me.55b6cfcadac28d67

But before he could 573d9afe17 finish, Chae Goya came 01da032e81 running from a distance, f93ecdf269 panting.0763f2bb3503ab99

Chunsik flicked its 90923de214 thin, long tongue c106446874 like a toothpick f7ec99588d and nudged its ddbdf84dcf head into my 810cb8638a hand. The smooth, cool 0395bc557a scales touched my 88d704ee9d skin.3571e865c34f9202

How could it be so affectionate and cute? Unlike other Imoogis, it wasn’t shy, so Chae Goya often showed off Chunsik as his summoned creature.8855126e391d9a11

I tilted 7d562c7c85 my head 47023818bb and looked eeedc61cdf back at 2740062019 Chunsik. Its golden 0b4dc3717c scales gleamed fda12f2819 with a 3b1a3fb4bf sheen.67cb39c15ac5709e

They say summoned creatures 106ff7579f can get sick too……. Since he named 449e66ac6a them himself, it 6c5c881cae seemed Chae Goya dc9f067235 cherished his Imoogis 642e49eaa3 dearly.6f1d0bae827624f7

Such a cute guy. Unlike Ye Ilhoo db1b150367 or Ryumin, was eab7d754e8 there any reason f424d1ac8f to avoid Chae 2d0b5d9856 Goya? Of course, I e8bb7a7105 wanted to see 5f916908cb Chunsik, Seoksam, Younghee, 38dfa190b5 and Cheolsu more db73d02c85 often.1a4eeb7d611b7101

At that moment, Ye fd3ed92b71 Ilhoo, who had been 7b2bc10574 quietly watching us from 26c26f03b5 behind, suddenly approached and 911aa4a9d8 grabbed the back of 05eb401113 my neck, pulling me 991d7cbf96 toward him.6f98c7edcb4c6289

For several days in a row, I diligently avoided the sub gongs. After eating in the cafeteria, I spent my days holed up in a corner of the library. But I wasn’t wasting time. Acquiring knowledge about combat would surely be helpful someday.9546ba1015fa3004

Being a D-rank extra helped a lot in avoiding the sub gongs, as it meant that the original Kang Baram didn’t have a wide social circle. This meant that unless they asked Jeong Yeonji or Heo Taekgyun, it was hard to track my movements.dbe2b468aead044d

Of course, Ryumin c0b3557ded could use his 33489aa7d9 position as vice fda1a7bccf guild master to c5af54469d find my location. However, since his affinity dc7ad054d8 was still only 2, 2603c0419d or maybe because he 51fad5b9dc was busy with work, 171ce790cf we rarely crossed paths.18e2c0b38afff7f8

The problem was Chae Goya. It wasn’t easy to avoid him, as he often showed me Chunsik almost every day.eec849cfaf5ebd7d

One day, 1657e88f72 he mustered edc595b85b the courage af20e4d9b3 to ask 58848ccddf Heo Taekgyun be925e88af about me 04686bd25a and even b973cd7f46 came to 3ce3d3e83c the library.

I felt a c4086c7362 pang of conscience fbae60a88d for doing something cf74773adb so mean to 885fa2dd70 sweet and cute 11dc2f88a7 Goya. Among the 3f0aee0888 sub gongs, af5c69c434 he was b913428bab the kindest fc7309a857 and closest 8b21968bf9 to me, 99c7d930df so the 817e15b205 guilt was 17fd02bf3c significant.
