Friendship? (2)

1.

Sharons part-time job was a simple one.

She only needed to scan barcodes, swipe cards, receive cash in person, give out changes, check out the inventories, display some of the products, and occasionally wipe the floor.

Because of her beauty, sometimes there were overly clingy people that would try to hook up with her, but that was a story of the past. After she bought a Tarnishing Charm, those people stopped coming.

Said charm could significantly reduce the presence of the person wearing it. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that most witches in the Modern World owned it.

After all, all witches possessed an exquisite beauty, and such beauty would attract unneeded attention from pests, whether they liked it or not.

Although its performance wasnt as good as Siwoos music box, which was able to hide both magic waves and sound, for something that could be bought for 500,000 won, it was worth all the money.

Without it, shed have to deal with people trying to hit on her every ten steps, and that really wasnt something she could appreciate.

Should I just quit?

As she sat down by herself behind the counter, she looked around the empty convenience store.

Normally, at times like this, shed try to study about stocks and blockchain.

But, after tasting the bitterness of crashing stocks and blockchain, all her passion about them vanished.

Nowadays, she spent her time in a daze.

In the first place, the reason why she took up a part-time job was to cover for her living expenses, including to pay for her rent.

But, she didnt have to worry about both anymore. She only needed to teach Siwoo magic lessons to cover for them.

Siwoo Siwoo Hmm

Crossing both arms and legs, she muttered the name that came to her mind.

She remembered the thing that happened earlier in the morning.

The Ill let you touch my chest event that she prepared with great care to soothe Siwoos sad and discouraged heart.

Now that she had the time to think about it, she realized that what she had done was something quite bold.

No matter how close they were, to let him see her bare chest like that was a little too far.

But

Not only did she let him see, she also let him squeeze them to his heart content.

Though, as an exchange, he seemed to be more spirited than usual, so it wasnt all that bad.

Sharon stared at her chest.

Theyre nice

That was the first time in her life that someone had ever praised her chest.

Ugh

Are they really nice, though? If anything, they only make me uncomfortable when running And theres the mole

Because this was the first time she had ever shown her chest to a man, she was skeptical towards Siwoos praise.

But still, I showed him these And even let him touch them

In some of the R-rated movies she watched, she saw scenes where the male protagonist would grab the female protagonists chest whenever they were making out.

Previously, she had wondered what it would feel like if someone were to do that to her, but surprisingly, she didnt really feel anything.

Whenever her nipples brushed against his thick palm, she felt a little itchy, but otherwise, she didnt feel anything special.

Seriously, whats wrong with me?

But, for some reason, whenever she thought about it, her face would turn hot.

Not only that, her chest also felt all tingly.

Those movies never said anything about this!

Nevertheless, she was proud of what she had done.

After all, it was clear that Siwoo seemed to like it.

While it might be that every male in this world would like what she had done, but still

It isnt like Im doing anything bad

She told him that he was free to ask her if he was having a hard time, but she knew that he wouldnt do that. Even if he were going through a hard time, he wouldnt go out of her way to trouble her just for something like that. He was that kind of a person.

That was why she decided that shed be the one whod brought the matter up instead.

Anyway, I should stop thinking about this.

It was near the end of her shift, so she checked out the inventory for one last time. When she was done with it, she left the convenience store.

Huh?

That was when she noticed something.

The steps she took were as light as a feather.

Though they sounded awkward, she seemed to be humming for a while now.

No, this wasnt because she felt joyful over her ending shift.

It was because of the fact that she would be able to meet with Siwoo again after she took that elevator.

Even when youre not here with me, Id always think of you

Id give you all the treasures in this world

Thinking about meeting you already made me feel happy

Back then, I still didnt know why. But now, I know.

I love you.

Suddenly, she was reminded of a scene from one of the movies she had watched.

Even when we arent together, I still think about him I do want to give him a lot of things in this world And Just by thinking about meeting him, I already feel happy?

Am I In love with him?

This realization struck her dumbfounded for a moment. Soon, it was replaced by a hearty laugh.

What am I even talking about? Thats ridiculous.

Ill open it.

It feels like Im doing something illegal.

I know, right?

After exchanging such a meaningful joke, Siwoo grabbed the handle to the door.

He only pulled it lightly, but the power boost he received from his armor was tremendous.

The doors frame was bent, accompanied by the sound of steel being crushed. Meanwhile, the glass between the frame was shattered.

Because of the quiet surroundings, the sound he made was explosively loud.

That didnt trigger the alarm?

Stop dawdling and go in quickly.

I know, I was just Surprised

Sharon was used to these kinds of actions, but that wasnt the case with Siwoo.

Illegally breaking into a closed building wasnt something he normally did, after all.

He knew that they were inside a barrier, but he was still amazed at how differently things went.

Anyway, you said you want to try out something What were you talking about?

Ah, Ive changed the components of the shadow Ive been using. Just a little though. I want to see how they perform.

What kind of change?

I mixed a little of the Earth Element that you told me. Can you look over it and point out the mistakes that I made?

Sharon was barely able to hide her shock after hearing Siwoos words.

How long have you been taking lessons from me, again? Youve already trying to mix it into your existing spell?

Of course, she didnt express her thoughts out loud.

After all, she could do it later, when he finally showed his magic to her.

Though, she had a strong feeling that there wouldnt be anything for her to criticize.

As they conversed, they explored the inside of the department store.

.Its pretty dark here

Just like any other normal department store, the first floor was the place where they sold cosmetics and seasonal clothes. The whole floor was engulfed in darkness.

There was no window, so no moonlight could enter and the only illumination inside was the green fluorescent light on the emergency exit sign.

Ill light it up.

Five decorative lights were lit up around Sharon.

This feels like a date Siwo thought.

But, he didnt utter that thought out loud.

However, as they explored half of the first floor, both of them noticed something.

At that moment, they turned their gazes toward each other.

And their eyes met.

Somethings off.

Right?

Uneasiness covered both of their hearts.

One thing they just realized was the fact that Sharons compass only had a search range of 150m.

From outside to here Weve walked way past 150m, havent we?

Something shouldve come out at this point

What shouldve happened was that the needle pointing in another direction at one point, but

The needle keeps on pointing in that direction

We should escape.

Siwoo was ready to take Sharon outside.

While he didnt know what would happen

He had a terribly bad premonition.

What?

And as they were having that conversation.

The compass suddenly started spinning uncontrollably, as if it was broken.

-Grrr

Then they heard growling noises from their surroundings.

The source were the black dogs that they had been hunting so far.

Siwoo, I dont have the strength to protect you

Sorry for being stubborn

Save that for later. This isnt something you need to apologize for, anyway. You didnt know it would turn out like this.

Let alone Siwoo, Sharon herself didnt expect this kind of development either.

The case where more a bunch of similar Homunculi grouping up together was unheard of. Besides, even if there were ten of them, Sharon would still be able to dispose of them quickly.

But the growls they heard came from their surroundings. One or two Homunculi wouldnt make that much noise.

From between the shelves, the escalator, hangers, corridors, emergency stairs

Red eyes were staring at them from every direction, there were more than fifty of them.

After succeeding in luring their prey, the group of beasts finally revealed themselves.

Itching to take their revenge against two people who have been killing of their kins.
