Possessed As the Butler of a Defeated Heroine - Possessed As the Butler of a Defeated Heroine chapter 180

180 – After All, if It’s a Ryokan, It’s Table Tennis!

“Ah, it was fun!! After a long time, karaoke was really fun!”

Chihiro stretched out her legs and took the lead.

Hyunjin participated in karaoke to keep a check on any possible situation, but he was able to sense that the possibility of a relationship like that between Ryunosuke and Chihiro was extremely small.

It’s not just that Chihiro is friendly to Ryunosuke, but seeing that she treats Sojuro and Yasuu without hesitation also shows that she just has an easy-going personality.

“Well, I’m glad it was fun.”

“So you really sing well?”

“Ahaha… I’m embarrassed, something.”

“I heard you sang it really well! There were a few songs I wasn’t sure about… “

Chihiro repeatedly praised Hyunjin’s singing of her. In fact, half of the songs she sang at the karaoke were closer to animation OSTs, so it was natural that she couldn’t understand them.

‘What… For now, I know there isn’t much contact, so I’ll have to be satisfied with that.’

If Chihiro had shown an attitude of approaching Ryuunosuke, she would have tried to defuse the situation somehow.

“By the way, Mr. Kim.”

“Huh?”

“Something seemed strange today… Are you okay?”

Ryunosuke implicitly asked Hyunjin.

Hyunjin, too, if Ryuunosuke were to ask this question, it would seem to anyone that he was in a bad state.

“Oh, well… Because something like that happened.”

“I see.”

Ryunosuke listened to Hyunjin’s words and didn’t ask much.

This kind of personality may definitely not be a bad thing.

‘If you think about it.’

Ryunosuke’s personality wasn’t like this originally. Since that was the main character reflected in the work, he must have been more passionate and self-sacrificing.

Most of the works coming out of Japan are based on self-sacrifice.

Rather than a selfish protagonist, a protagonist who overcomes advantages and hardships and achieves victory in the end will be more attractive.

‘It’s the exact opposite of Korea.’

Nevertheless, Hyunjin liked those works.

The protagonist must go through hardships. What you get at the end of the ordeal will definitely make you happy.

That’s what I believed.

‘Nowadays… I don’t know.’

If you were to portray yourself as the main character instead of Ryunosuke, was there any big ordeal?

When I thought about it, it didn’t seem like it had happened.

‘I don’t know.’

Perhaps it was because I went to karaoke that I felt refreshed.

On the other hand, I felt grateful to my companions.

Considering that she was shivering alone in the shopping district, I guess she spoke to me anyway.

The same would especially apply to Ryuunosuke and Sojuro. From their perspective, it was natural for them to feel hostile towards Hyunjin, but instead, they still treated him as a friend, which I was very thankful for.

Hyunjin had a good understanding of Japanese cultural aspects that he had previously seen on the Internet.

Datemae and Honne.

The mindset you show on the outside and the sincerity you hold inside.

The dual, conflicting lifestyle phenomenon must be the basics of Japanese people, but I also wondered if it was because it was a romantic comedy world, or maybe it was because it didn’t come out.

‘Well, still.’

Being treated like this was surprisingly not a bad feeling.

Was it because I was never treated properly during my school days?

Hyunjin, who felt like his emotions were becoming assimilated, thought while shaking his head.

‘No, let’s focus on what we wanted to do for now.’

How will we connect Ryunosuke and Amelia?

The concerns about this are still not resolved.

Not only was Ryunosuke showing a very sluggish attitude, but I also felt like Amelia was no longer paying attention to him.

It would be safe to say that this is a case where one does not know how to navigate a reality that is completely different from the direction one had planned.

‘… It will work out somehow, but it won’t work with the same mindset.’

There is a need to definitely narrow the gap between the two before winter break at the latest.

Hyunjin thought so and returned to the dorm with his group

***

With good timing, it was dinner time when Hyunjin and his group returned, and everyone ate after quickly changing their clothes.

‘Schedule… ‘

Perhaps it was because Hoshizora Academy had a lot of money, but the accommodation was also very nice.

Hyunjin almost let out an exclamation every time he ate the food, because he was so good at cooking that it was on par with the regular meals he used to eat at Ayako’s house.

“I want another bowl! Hmm!”

Sojuro spoke next to her, nodding his head, unable to resist his appetite.

I thought it was inevitable that he was a glutton for his size.

For soju, I received another bowl of gobong rice from the waiter at the hotel and ate it.

“Hey, Sojuro.”

“Ugh? What’s going on?”

“You… “I think I need to reduce the amount of food I eat.”

“Eating a big meal is truly beneficial to people! “What don’t you know, Kim?”

“No…”

Yeah, you better pay attention to what that guy eats. What can he say when he says he likes it?

Hyunjin thought so and continued eating.

…

…

After the meal, the students each took a bath and then changed into the clothes provided by the dormitory.

Yukata.

Perhaps because the accommodation was very luxurious, all kinds of facilities were crowded together.

A table tennis table, a simple arcade, and other things. It was a place with excellent facilities that were difficult to describe in words, so Hyunjin decided to go play table tennis while he was finished taking a bath… Thinking the same thing, she headed to the table tennis court.

“Oh~hohohoho!!　Well, take it! My perfect smash!!”

When I arrived at the table tennis court, I heard Amelia’s voice

Table tennis’ opponent seems to be Ayakoin.

Two women, wearing yukatas, passed the ball back and forth as if playing ping pong.

“Oh~hohoho!! “You’re weak, Aya-chan!”

“If it was archery, I wouldn’t have been so outnumbered… !”

“After this game, shall we move on to archery? Hohoho!!”

The opponent, Ayako, could only catch her table tennis balls, but Amelia was leisurely catching Ayako’s balls.

‘Of course, Amelia had some deep knowledge of sports… ‘

Even as Ayako was constantly being attacked, she was slowly looking for an opportunity.

‘If you just go with the flow, you won’t be able to win.’

I watched Hyunjin slowly approach and quietly play table tennis behind me.

“Eh, Jin-chan?”

“Hana-chan. Hi. “I came to play table tennis, and we happened to be playing table tennis at the same time.”

“Huh. “Ria-chan and Ayako played table tennis with each other.”

This was a natural step since both of them did not get along well enough to regard each other as a thorn in their eyes.

I wasn’t really interested in which of the two would win. Hyunjin just hopes that sparks don’t fly in him… It was a wish.

“To? I beg your pardon? Hyunjin… ?”

“Gap!”

As soon as Amelia heard Hyunjin’s voice, she turned her head, and Ayako took advantage and scored with a quick drive.

Amelia looked upset for a moment at the fact that she lost to Ayako, but then she got her emotions together and opened her mouth.

“… “Let’s leave it here.”

“Yeah, I was planning on doing that anyway? Ah-chan, you can’t play table tennis. Hehe.”

“Profit! That’s not something you would say when you’ve been losing!”

When Ayako answered naturally, Amelia became upset.

Then, only after Amelia had caught her breath, did she open her mouth and ask.

“Anyway, Hyunjin, what are you doing here… ?”

“I just came to play table tennis.”

“Is there someone to attack?”

“It’s a problem because there isn’t one.”

Amelia smiled and said at Hyunjin’s words.

“Then, try it with me.”

“Huh?”

“I will measure your skills!”

Amelia opens her mouth in a confident tone.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter… ‘

All you have to do is play table tennis.

With that in mind, Hyunjin approached Ayako and held out her hand.

“Can you give me a table tennis stick, Aya-chan?”

“Sure. Here.”

Hyunjin stood across from Amelia, accepting the table tennis stick that Ayako gave him.

“Okay then, let’s take it easy.”

As soon as Hyunjin received the table tennis stick, he quickly jumped in place and got into position.

“I’ll give up who goes first!”

Amelia passed the ball to Hyunjin.

“Don’t regret it.”

“Do you think I will lose to you?”

Amelia responded to Hyunjin with her confident tone and expression.

‘I’m not very good at table tennis, though.’

With her physical ability and what she did in gym class in middle school, she could easily beat Amelia.

She thought so.

It was a light serve at first, but Hyunjin couldn’t even respond for a moment because Amelia threw a smash with her outer head.

“Oh~hohoho!!　First point, I’ll take it!”

“It’s fun.”

Hyunjin, who tried to look at her moderately, muttered to himself while looking at Amelia.

Since that side also seems sincere, this side has no choice but to respond sincerely as well.

…

From noble mtl dot net

…

From then on, it was truly a fierce battle.

When dealing with Ayako, she was relaxed, but now Amelia was panting heavily and moving around.

‘What the hell is this! I knew she had good physical strength, but… ‘I didn’t even say I was good at table tennis!’

Amelia grumbled internally and kept moving. If she lets go of her reason for even a moment, she will immediately lose her score.

Hyunjin didn’t even show any signs of being tired.

The number of times we ping-pong the ball against each other is more than 100 times, even if we only catch a few shots.

‘I have to admit that I lost?’

That can’t be possible. Of course, there is nothing more humiliating than giving moderate attention, but the set was already tilted towards Hyunjin.

I decided to let Ayako win even if she only won one set, but even if she tried her best, she couldn’t keep up with Hyunjin’s stamina and skills her her.

“With this, it’s a winning move!!”

Shouting Nano Lee, Amelia took a big stance and swung her ping pong stick.

Hyunjin took the stance in that short period of time and countered.

Amelia looked exhausted and sat down.

“I lost, I lost…”

“Sorry. “I tried to do it moderately, but before I knew it, I was a little tired.”

Amelia looked dumbfounded at Hyunjin’s words.

“Okay then, next time it’s not table tennis! This time, let’s compete in archery!”

“Gu, archery?”

“Is it so! Archery!”

Hyunjin was dragged by Amelia’s stubbornness and was forced to do archery.
