The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 124



The Wheel of Summer (2)

The camping operation to secure Seir’s sample was successfully completed.

The staff of the Gangwon branch loaded the samples they had collected onto a freight train and sent them to the research institute.

With this, all schedules were completed.

Screech─

Finally, the moment of permitted rest. I immediately returned to the dormitory.

First, let’s wash up and get some sleep.

“….”

But that was not possible. There was a guest in my room.

The guest was none other than Ryu Jung-min. She was lying on the bed, enjoying a nap.

“Why is she here….”

For reference, Ryu Jung-min did not participate in this camping. She belongs to another guild, after all. There is no reason for her to help Geumseonggak.

I thought she had really gone back to her own home this time….

She still hasn’t left the Gangwon branch. Moreover, she is using my room as if it were her own.

Well, technically, this isn’t really my room either.

“What are you just standing there for?”

At that moment, Ryu Jung-min spoke. She talked to me with her eyes closed.

“Are you perhaps enchanted by my body?”

Her attire was different from what I usually saw. The dress she always wore was gone, and now she was wearing a T-shirt that exposed her navel and hot pants that revealed her thighs.

It seems that those are her pajamas.

“Hehe. You must be a man after all. Losing your mind over a woman’s bare skin. How cute.”

The clothes aside, what really annoys me is that rabbit doll.

How old is that woman, and she still hugs a rabbit doll to sleep.

No matter how childlike her face is, I can’t overlook that. It just gives me a headache.

“Yes. A man should know how to enjoy a woman’s charm. Feel free to admire as much as you want.”

Ryu Jeong-min moved her legs back and forth on the bed. Wearing short pants, her panties were occasionally visible.

“….”

But for some reason, it didn’t arouse me at all. It just looked like the antics of a child.

Could it be because I had already had a preview with Arna’s thighs? Ryu Jeong-min’s skinny legs elicited no reaction whatsoever.

“Enough about the legs. Since we’re here, let’s have a little chat.”

I pulled a chair over and sat near the bed. Ryu Jeong-min, still lying on the bed, opened her mouth.

“Oh my. Are you perhaps going to confess something? Well, there’s nothing wrong with a younger one.”

“This lady really….”

I almost crushed Ryu Jeong-min’s face with that rabbit doll.

But I didn’t actually do it. Touching Ryu Jeong-min carelessly could backfire on me.

“Actually, there’s something I’d like to ask of you.”

“A request? Is it a request again this time?”

Ryu Jeong-min let out a deep sigh. Then she twirled her long silver hair with her fingers.

“I feel a bit hurt. It seems like you only look for me when you need something.”

This wasn’t the first time I was asking Ryu Jeong-min for a favor. I had asked for her help before.

It was precisely when I nullified the contract between Rashid and Venus.

“I’m not asking for help for free.”

I handed her a small zip bag. Inside was a gem fragment glowing a dark red.

“Oh my.”

Seeing that, Ryu Jeong-min sat up straight. She stared intently at the zip bag while sitting on the bed.

“Could it be a magic stone?”

“Yes. It’s a magic stone from Basago.”

“Oh my.”

Thinking back, there had been a time like this before. Ryu Jeong-min had gifted me a magic stone from Marquosias. Thanks to that magic stone, I was able to create a new spoon.

So now it was my turn to repay her. I was giving Ryu Jeong-min a magic stone from Basago, which was more valuable than Marquosias.

“From the size, it seems you haven’t completely subdued Basago.”

It was merely a fragment. Ryu Jeong-min guessed that Basago was still alive from that alone.

“Does Park Won-hyuk know? That you have a trace of Basago?”

“Of course, the representative knows as well.”

“Hehe. And yet, you’re offering that to me instead of Park Won-hyuk?”

Ryu Jung-min gave a bitter smile. He had seen through the fact that the magic stone I was giving him was not just a simple gift.

“Alright. Let’s hear it. What do you want me to do with this magic stone?”

At first, Ryu Jung-min had been completely skeptical, but now he was starting to show interest. He seemed to be anticipating what I was planning.

I said,

“Soon, there will be a general meeting hosted by the Guild Association.”

“So, that means there are other guilds besides Geumseonggak that have witnessed Basago.”

“Yes, there is also Hyeongwang.”

To be precise, I was referring to Arna, who was currently interning at Hyeongwang. Although the magic stone was in my hand, Arna was also aware of Basago’s existence.

Soon, not only Hyeongwang but other guilds as well would hear about Basago’s appearance. Following that, there would be a guild assembly to defeat Basago.

“At the meeting, you can present this magic stone as evidence. As a clue to track Basago.”

Basago had a special ability to hide its presence. It wasn’t something that could be found just by searching. Therefore, this magic stone would be a crucial key to finding Basago.

And the owner of the key would be Ryu Jung-min.

“It’s not a difficult task. In fact, it’s a proposal that wouldn’t be strange even if I asked you for it.”

Presenting Basago’s magic stone at a meeting attended by all the guild leaders would elevate Yeonwol’s status.

While all the other guilds were struggling to figure out how to find Basago, Yeonwol alone would provide the answer.

“But I’m curious. Isn’t it normal to leave such matters to your representative, Park Won-hyuk?”

“You know that our representative doesn’t act gently.”

“Hoho. You know well. If it were Park Won-hyuk, he would go to meet Basago alone the moment he got the magic stone.”

That’s why I was entrusting this magic stone to Ryu Jung-min. He knew Park Won-hyuk’s circumstances better than anyone.

It meant that things would progress quickly.

“Then, the next question.”

Ryu Jung-min wasn’t finished yet and asked me another question.

“Why are you stopping Park Won-hyuk? After all, you’re just an intern, aren’t you? It wouldn’t matter much to you what happens to Park Won-hyuk, would it?”

Even if I handed the magic stone to Park Won-hyuk, it wouldn’t result in any loss for me. After all, I wasn’t a regular employee of Geumseonggak.

Whether Park Won-hyuk died fighting Basago or not, it wouldn’t matter much to me.

But…

“If the representative is gone, wouldn’t someone try to take that position?”

The problem would arise after Park Won-hyuk disappeared from this world. I was talking about Geumseonggak.

The position of Geumseonggak’s representative would be vacant, and someone would have to lead the guild anew.

“I could take that position. Or maybe…”

“There might be cases where Hyungwang absorbs Geumseonggak.”

The other guild representatives wouldn’t just stand by and watch. They would all jump into the competition to take over the management rights of Geumseonggak.

The person most likely to take over Geumseonggak would, of course, be Tae Seung-geon, the representative of Hyungwang, the top guild in South Korea.

“We can’t hand over Geumseonggak to any guild. Especially not to Hyungwang.”

Hyungwang’s power must not grow any larger than it is now. Tae Seung-geon’s influence must not expand any further.

He is an extremely dangerous person. Ryu Jung-min would know that too.

“You have the ability to see the forest despite being an intern. As expected, you’re the one I’ve marked.”

Defeat Basago, a threat to the world.

At the same time, don’t let Park Won-hyuk die.

Maintain Geumseonggak as it is now.

Suppress Hyungwang’s expansion.

That’s all I pursue. To achieve that goal, I need the power of Yeonwol, a third party.

“Alright. I’ll accept that request.”

Ryu Jung-min reached out his hand. It meant he would accept Basago’s magic stone.

I handed the ziplock bag to Ryu Jung-min.

“Before that.”

At the moment of exchanging the magic stone, Ryu Jung-min suddenly pulled my arm.

Thud─

We fell onto the bed, our bodies overlapping.

In that state, Ryu Jung-min placed his hand on my head.

“Wouldn’t it be better to rest a bit now? It’s a rare holiday.”

“…”

“The next thing can be planned slowly, there’s no rush.”

Like a mother cradling her child, Ryu Jung-min stroked my head.

Despite his very small hands, the touch was incredibly gentle. If I stayed still, my eyelids would naturally droop.

There was even a fragrant floral scent. It was the scent emanating from Ryu Jung-min’s body. Somehow, it felt calming.

Creak─

At that moment, while I was finding comfort in Ryu Jung-min’s embrace…

The door opened. A guest had arrived.

“Hey Shin Yoon-seong. Where’s the tracker you took before… huh?”

Someone said, and it was Yoo Jiwoo. Just like last time at Arna, they made their entrance at a truly remarkable timing.

“Whoa!”

A man and a woman were embracing each other on the bed. Seeing that, Yoo Jiwoo’s eyes sparkled. They also let out a loud huff.

“Yasuda, Yas! It’s Yasuda again!”

Honestly, it was unfair this time, even if it was understandable last time.

There was no intention at all. Besides, the other party was, after all, just an ajumma.

“Shin Yoonseong, you’re quite something!”

But it seemed that Yoo Jiwoo didn’t think so. Well, given the past history, it was a natural reaction.

“Crazy, crazy! A blonde, a silver-haired, a college girl, an ajumma, the school idol, the guild leader—this insane color enthusiast is taking them all! Just a madman!”

No. It’s a bit much to say they’re openly taking advantage of the person right in front of them.

I really wish they would choose their words more carefully.
