I Am Not a Regressor Chapter 58
My Home (2)
“Y-you crazy bastard!”
Thwack.
Ha-eun’s slender leg whipped across my back.
“No matter how good it feels, that’s not an excuse! Huh? How dare you do that to your sister!!”
Crunch.
This time she pressed down with the sole of her foot.
“…I said I’m sorry.”
Unable to suppress the sudden impulse, I pressed my lips against hers. Two hours later.
I sat on the living room floor, repeating apologies like a parrot.
Ha-eun remained on the sofa, kicking my back repeatedly with her feet.
“Does saying sorry fix everything?! Your sister’s!! M-m-my lips…! Hehehehe. My lips, you jerk! Hihihi!”
Sister.
Either get angry or enjoy it—pick one.
“…So. Did you like it?”
Wiggle wiggle.
Ha-eun poked my ribs with the tips of her toes.
“Of course I did. We got such a nice place.”
Was this how Ha-eun felt when she received the Dragon’s Eye from me?
After living in that cramped, foul-smelling apartment, moving into this luxurious penthouse left me so overjoyed I could barely think straight.
That’s why I couldn’t contain my excitement and pulled her into my arms, pressing my lips to hers.
‘There’s a reason property values don’t drop here, even if you dig around.’
It wasn’t just the interior that was exceptional—the view from the windows was stunning, and the surrounding amenities were incomparable to where we used to live.
The old neighborhood had been so desolate it looked like it had been ravaged by monsters.
“No, I didn’t mean the apartment.”
“Huh?”
If not the apartment, what else?
“…Th-that. K-k-kissing… D-did it feel g-good?”
My face flushed crimson as I twirled my hair between my fingertips.
A smirk played at the corners of my mouth.
“It’s not like it was the first time, so why are you making such a big deal?”
“Huh? When did we ever do it before?”
“We did it plenty when we were kids. Don’t you remember playing house at the Orphanage?”
“No.”
Ha-eun’s expression twisted.
“You can’t bring that up, you jerk!”
Ha-eun leaned forward and wrapped both arms around my neck, pulling me close.
I felt the sensation of my breath catching, followed by a heavy pressure against my back.
‘Good grief.’
Was my sister always this… well-endowed?
No, I already knew she had some volume to her, but…
Feeling it directly against my body like this, I momentarily lost myself in her overwhelming presence.
“Don’t play dumb. Tell me what you really think.”
“…”
“Tsk. Are you upset with me, sister?”
“No, well… of course it felt good. Why are you even asking?”
I recalled the soft sensation that had touched my lips.
It wasn’t quite the lightning-bolt-piercing-through-my-body sensation that manga usually depicts.
But I couldn’t deny that it had felt genuinely pleasant.
“R-really?”
Ha-eun’s lips curled upward in a smirk.
She twisted her body like a relative desperately trying to hide the fact that they’d won the lottery jackpot.
“Hehehehe!!”
From behind, she grabbed my cheeks in a chokehold and stretched them out.
“So you’re saying you felt so good you’d run outside right now in your underwear and do a somersault in the air, right?”
No.
It wasn’t quite that extreme.
“Hihihi! Heart~! You cute little thing. How much do you like your sister to go straight for her lips the moment you walk through the door?”
“Anyone listening would think we’re newlyweds.”
“Kyahahaha! What are you talking about? We kiss once and suddenly you’re bringing up marriage?”
“…?”
What is this woman saying?
“Your sister isn’t the kind of woman you can have so easily, you know~?”
“Uh, yeah.”
What’s this?
Looking at that smug expression, I felt a surge of irritation.
“Now that I think about it, there’s this annoying memory—that Choi Jong-chul guy or whatever, the moment he saw sister’s face, he said he’d give 6 billion… no, 10 billion! Doesn’t that prove your sister is that attractive?”
“What are you getting at?”
“You need to take responsibility for stealing your sister’s lips like that.”
Ha-eun raised her chin proudly and smirked.
“…”
Without a word, I grabbed her foot resting on my thigh and tickled it.
“Kyaaaah!! W-what are you doing, you bastard!!”
She tried to pull her foot away urgently, but it was futile.
In terms of pure strength alone, I was stronger right now.
“Pfft!! Kyahahaha!! Stop!! Stooop!!”
“My, my. A person of such refined taste, yet so unbecoming. Whatever could be the matter?”
“Let go!! Release me, you bastard!!”
I continued tickling her foot for about five more minutes.
Who told you to provoke me like that?
“Huff! Huff! Ugh….”
Ha-eun bit her lip, breathing heavily.
The cold sweat streaming down her face suggested the tickling had been quite intense.
So my sister was sensitive to tickling.
“Anyway, let’s look around the place.”
It had been over two hours since we arrived, and I’d only seen the living room.
“Phew. Alright.”
Ha-eun straightened her disheveled hair and got to her feet.
“Here’s the bathroom… and there are two rooms. This one’s the bigger one.”
Click.
The door swung open, revealing a spacious interior.
‘Damn. One room is as big as our old place.’
The furniture from our previous home had been moved into this room.
“We’ll need to buy more furniture soon.”
“Right? The stuff we had before was pretty worn out.”
“That’s true, but…”
Kwon O-jin shrugged and pointed to the other room.
Since this was the bigger room, the other one must be smaller.
“We’ll need to get furniture for that room too.”
Well.
Since Ha-eun bought this place, I should naturally take the smaller room.
It doesn’t matter.
Even if it’s small, it would be more spacious than when we were both crammed into that cramped old place.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“What do you mean, what am I talking about?”
“That room is a storage room.”
“…?”
What is this sister saying?
“Our room is here.”
Ha-eun pointed to the large room she’d just opened with her hand.
“…You’re saying we should share one big room when there are two rooms?”
“Yeah.”
“No.”
What kind of nonsense is that—like going to a buffet and only drinking water?
“I don’t have much stuff anyway, so what’s a storage room? I’ll just use the smaller room.”
“That’s not happening.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m the homeowner.”
Damn.
I had nothing to say.
“Heh. If it bothers you so much, why don’t you go back to where you used to live?”
Ha-eun smirked and taunted me.
Part of me wanted to rise to such a childish provocation, but I held back.
“Mold, rust stains… summers so sweltering you can’t breathe, winters so frigid your teeth chatter.”
A groan escaped me.
Even as a joke, I couldn’t bring myself to say I’d return to my old place.
“And most importantly.”
Ha-eun grinned like a general certain of victory.
“This house has something truly magnificent—’hot water.'”
“T-that’s…!”
This madness.
Hot water!
Hot water, no less!!
To wash my body in hot water at home!!!!
It was a luxury I’d never experienced before—dizzying in its decadence.
“So? Will you listen to your landlord, or will you leave?”
“…Ugh.”
It felt humiliating, like my pride was being trampled.
But I couldn’t resist the allure of hot water.
Was I truly going to surrender like this?
‘…Wait.’
My eyes sharpened with sudden clarity.
“Sister, didn’t you say you used the reward money from this subjugation operation to buy this house?”
“Huh? Yeah, that’s right.”
“My reward money was included in that, wasn’t it?”
Between losing consciousness for three days and then focusing on the new skills I’d acquired afterward, I hadn’t given the reward money much thought.
“…Well, um, about that.”
She averted her gaze.
Ha-eun looked away.
“I killed the most demons, didn’t I?”
Honestly, just counting the demons I personally killed, the number easily exceeded a hundred.
And since I was the one who killed Choi Jong-chul, the mastermind behind it all, a substantial reward was naturally due.
But.
I have no memory of receiving any money.
“W-well, I took out a loan and the funds were just a little short, so… heh, hehehehe!”
Ha-eun scratched the back of her head sheepishly.
Ah.
So you just used my reward money without asking to buy this house?
Well, I suppose that’s fine.
But.
“If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean at least that small room is mine?”
“Ugh!”
She flinched.
Ha-eun’s shoulders trembled.
“Ah! M-my leg!! Ugh!!”
Then she suddenly grabbed her right prosthetic leg and cried out in pain.
It was an unconvincing performance, to say the least.
‘What is this sister trying to pull now?’
As I looked down at Ha-eun quietly.
“…O-jin, how can you say such things in front of your sister whose legs are so inconvenient?”
Did this woman just use a cheat code?
“I’m… someone who can’t survive without someone taking care of me by my side.”
“….”
I pressed my forehead with an expression of defeat.
Damn it.
What am I supposed to do about this?
“Sigh… Fine, fine. Let’s share the room.”
“Yesss! Slave contract extension approved~!”
Ha-eun clenched her fist and let out a cheer of triumph.
I gave her a bitter smile as I watched her.
Since we’d been sharing the same room all along anyway, there was nothing particularly inconvenient about it.
But there was one thing I regretted.
“Ugh. I was hoping I could finally sleep on a bed.”
Now I’d have to sleep on the floor again, which was frustrating.
“Kyahahaha! Don’t worry about that, man. Your sister’s already thought of everything!”
Ha-eun burst into a bright laugh and went to the bed.
“Huh?”
Now that I looked at it, all the other furniture was the same, but only the bed was new.
“Ta-da!”
Slide.
As she opened the bottom of the bed, another bed slid out from underneath it.
“Whoa!”
A short exclamation escaped my lips.
So there was a way to do this.
When I thought about it, it was a simple solution, but our previous place was so cramped that I hadn’t thought of it.
“Hehe. How’s this?”
“Totally doable.”
I gave her a thumbs up.
With this, sharing the room wouldn’t be a problem at all.
Anyway.
“The apartment is really nice, but it’s a shame I can’t use the rooftop.”
At my old place, nobody used the rooftop anyway, so I could go up whenever I had time and practice comfortably. But it seemed like that wouldn’t be possible here.
“Oh, there’s supposed to be an Awakened Users-exclusive training facility near this apartment.”
“There is?”
“Yeah. The fees are a bit pricey, but it’s a place where you can train without worrying about other people’s eyes.”
“Oh.”
Not bad at all.
“And Hongdae is close by here too, right? If I need to do some intense training, I can just go to the Star Palace.”
“That’s an option too.”
If I went to the Star Palace, I could also get help with training from Riak.
“Hehe. Your sister thought of everything when picking this place!”
Just as she said.
Both the Awakened Users Association in Yeouido and the Gate leading to the Star Palace in Hongdae weren’t far from the apartment.
“There really is no one like our sister.”
I couldn’t deny that.
“Hehehehe. Then I’ll bring some delicious beef for dinner tonight.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
After she bought me an apartment like this, what’s a little beef?
“So, should we go to the mart together?”
“There’s a mart in the basement here too.”
“Oh wow.”
Perfect.
Click.
Just as I was about to head to the mart.
Brrrrring!
My phone rang.
“Hm?”
I tilted my head in confusion and pulled out my smartphone.
‘Park Chang-hyun?’
I thought it was a call from Han Manager, but it was Park Chang-hyun calling.
“Hello?”
[…Kwon O-jin. Can you come to Valhalla Guild right now?]
“What’s the matter?”
I asked, furrowing my brow.
[━The Guild Master has been attacked by those Black Star Society bastards.]
“….”
I guess the beef will have to wait.
