How to Get on the Main Character’s Flower Path

“Don’t be too nervous. You need to relax your body.”

I felt a calloused but still soft hand gently sweeping my stomach.

Nahyun is just making contact to teach me. I know.

And yet…

“Ugh…”

This damned vigorous body is really…!

I clenched my teeth.

Nahyun looked at me worriedly, as if she thought I looked strange.

“…Yuhan?”

“No, it’s nothing. Nahyun, I-I don’t feel well right now… Can we stop for today?”

“You’re

unwell? Shouldn’t you go and rest?”

Go?

No. I can’t go.

If I go… She can see it!

Just then, Lee Hana was making an ice sculpture with seawater.

That’s it! I quickly pointed in that direction.

“No, I’m okay! I want to keep seeing that.”

“Should we go and see it?”

“Here! I want to see it here!”

“A-Alright.”

I can’t get caught!

I desperately made excuses, thinking about the contemptuous gaze Na-hyun would give if she found out about my condition.

I can do it, I can calm it down…!

I gritted my teeth and muttered the national anthem quietly.

Fortunately, it worked, because by the time Lee Hana’s ice show was over, my bottom had calmed down.

“Nothing bad will happen.”

I confidently told Nahyun, who was looking at Shin Baran with concern.

I had investigated the surroundings in advance, and aside from the fact that this mansion was haunted, there were no problems, and I didn’t see any ghosts when I looked with my Insight Eye.

It was really horrible when I saw ghosts with my Insight Eye…

I looked at the group of people who were pairing up, erasing the bad memories.

I guess I should team up with Nahyun.

“Yuhan,”

I thought that moment as I heard Nahyun’s voice, as if trying to talk to me,

“Miss Nahyun! Let’s be on the same team as me!”

Na Yuri barged in. What is it?

I grabbed Na Yuri’s arm, who seemed to be trying to move towards her without realizing it. It was an unconscious action.

…Still, it would be nice if we were on the same team.

I like Nahyun the best out of all the others.

Na Yuri looked at me fiercely.

I made eye contact with Na Yuri. Yet she didn’t show any sign of backing down.

Then Park Siwoo appeared.

“Both of you, just stop fighting. How about Nahyun and I team up, then the two of you team up?”

And started talking nonsense.

While I was glaring at him, frowning at his incomprehensible words, Choi Soojung intervened.

“So let’s decide by drawing lots. The person who draws the piece of paper with the winning number will go with Nahyun!”

It seemed like Nahyun was going to go with me in the first place, so why? My discontent was rising, but I nodded my head because I didn’t want to waste any more time.

“Yuri out~”

“Miss Nahyun…!”

Na Yuri pulled out a blank and fell out, and it was my turn.

Now there were only two draws left.

As I stared intently at the draw, the details of the <Insight> skill suddenly flashed through my mind.

– Active: Insight Eye

You can observe and analyze everything and every phenomenon in this world.

There is no such thing as a hidden secret for you.

…Wait. Then, wouldn’t my Insight Eye be able to check not only the item appraisal but also whether or not I won this draw?

Why did I think my Insight was only applicable to ‘Awakeners’ or ‘Items’?

Let’s change our minds. For my own sake.

I activated Insight Eye.

However, no information about the draw appeared.

…Let’s focus. I focused a bit more and looked at one of the two draws as if I was evaluating an item.

Then, information about the draw came to mind.

[Draw]

– Winning draw

– Ordinary wooden stick

This is it!!

I drew it right away.

The end of the wooden stick was red, as if telling me I got the right answer.

“Nice!”

“…What a shame.”

Park Siwoo looked at the draw stick indifferently and backed away without saying a word.

I felt a strange sense of victory and headed toward Nahyun.

“…What I told you last night. Do you remember?”

“Yeah! Why?”

“If you’re a reincarnator… Do you know about the game called <The Tower and Warrior Story>? It’s a game based on this world. It was the game I played before I came to this world.”

“Whoa, really? Interesting! To think that there’s such a game!”

“ …That’s why I know a lot about this world.”

“I see…! That’s great, how cool, Yuhan!” 

“…It’s nothing.”

“No. It’s amazing! You studied hard so you know it well, right?”

To be praised like this for playing a game so hard. To me, you seem much more amazing, yet you think so highly of me.

I avoided her gaze, feeling embarrassed for some reason.

“Hmm, ahem, anyway, this might be shocking to you who doesn’t know the content of the game, but… this world is about to end.”

“End, you say…”

Nahyun, who seemed to know nothing, looked really confused.

I didn’t know how to comfort her, so I just raised my hand and looked at her blankly.

However, she seemed to have overcome her confusion on her own and soon looked up at me with eyes that had made up her mind.

“What should we do to prevent destruction?”

“…What?”

“Yuhan came to this world to prevent destruction. So, if I help you, the destruction can be prevented, right?”

I laughed.

I was glad you said that.

I felt like I could do anything with you, and something warm filled my heart.

“…That’s right, it can be prevented. No, it will definitely be prevented.”

“Yeah. Yuhan can do it. I will work hard to help you too!”

I smiled slightly and started explaining to her.

“First, we need to know about the ‘Keys of the Six Races’.”

.

.

.

Before Na Yuhan could say that.

“The seventh key appeared.”

“Yes. It’s the key you received from the nine-tailed fox when you returned the fox bead to her. So the existence of a new key is a huge variable. You never know what might happen.”

[You don’t need to worry about that key. No, I recommend that you keep it but ignore it as much as possible.]

[Why?]

[The power is useful, but… the key itself is just a key that sends the user to a space where the owner is lost.]

“… Although that bastard told me not to worry, I’m worried about you. So if possible—”

“It’s dangerous!”

At that moment, Nahyun pulled me in urgently.

I couldn’t figure out the situation for a moment because of the soft thing I suddenly felt, and I was only able to come to my senses when Nahyun’s upper body slightly moved away from me.

I could smell her faint shampoo scent.

A nice smell… No, this isn’t it!

“Wait, can you, move aside…?”

“S-Sorry!”

“…It’s nothing.”

I looked up at the large cat doll tied to the rope that seemed to be a trap set by Choi Soojung.

Anyway, Choi Soo-jung. She’s the best at pranks.

I sighed deeply.

It seemed like we should talk about serious things next time.

“In order to lend our family’s power, you need a suitable justification, that is, a position.”

“Really? Just give me anything.”

“I can’t give someone like you a proper position!”

Nika Balder.

Now the head of the Balder family, she smiled wickedly with her purple eyes that looked like they were set with amethyst. 

After the Balder family incident was resolved, her fox tail was waving leisurely, as if she had regained her composure. 

She put mana in the crystal ball that transmitted sounds throughout the family. I had an ominous feeling, so I tried to stop her.

“Wait,”

“From now on, Na Yuhan is Nika Balder’s fiancée! Treat him no differently than you treat me!”

Before I had a chance to say anything, she declared that she would make me her fiancée.

I was flustered, but when I thought about it rationally… Being the fiancée of the Balder family would be beneficial because it would give me enormous benefits. We’re not even married.

However… What occupied my mind at that moment was Nahyun. I was worried about how I would explain it to her.

I want to explain that it was a business relationship I had formed to gain cooperation.

…

Because I don’t want to deceive Nahyun.

slurp

[The one who built the tower, Cheonho, was also a soul of the other world. So knowing about the soul of the other world will definitely be the way to approach Cheonho!]

I greeted Nahyun as I entered the classroom.

She smiled brightly and greeted me.

“Hello, Yuhan! How have you been?”

After traveling with everyone, I contacted the Balder family as planned.

It was quite difficult, but it was a time when I gained a lot.

…I’m a little dissatisfied with the fiancee thing, though. I couldn’t tell Nahyun, who innocently asked me what happened, that I had participated in a power struggle between families during the vacation and had put a woman forward as the head of the household, so I just tried to cover it up.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”Are you hurt? “You know, if you have a hard time, you have to tell me, alright?” 

“Hm? Yuhan.”

“…Got it.”

Even so, Nahyun looked at me worriedly, as if she had read my fatigue.

I didn’t want to worry her. How difficult.

The moment I was wondering how to distract her, Park Si-woo naturally came between us. After that, Nahyun’s attention was completely focused on him.

Even though it went as I wanted, I didn’t like it for some reason.

As I was quietly listening to the conversation, Park Siwoo’s words caught my ear.

“I wanted to invite you to my grandma’s house at least once, but it’s too bad the timing didn’t work out.”

“I guess there’s nothing I can do. Let’s go together next time.”

“…Where are you going together?”

I was genuinely flustered.

Because the event in the game where Park Siwoo and the heroine visit the former warrior’s house alone—

“Are you going ‘just the two of you’?”

“Maybe so.”

“You can’t!”

—Because it was a confirmed heroine route event!

I know this place is real…

But it was portrayed quite heavily in the game, so ‘the event where Park Siwoo brings a woman to his precious place’ is very important…

No, wouldn’t it be good if the two of them get along?

Damn, I can’t think straight. My head was spinning.

I blurted out something to collect what I had said.

“Aaah, I mean… if we’re going, how about we all go together?”

“Ah, if Siwoo is fine with it, maybe it would be good to go together like last trip.” 

“Alright. Her house has plenty of rooms.”

I felt relieved for some reason at those words. Why?
