The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

 

Chapter 55

 

A few days ago.

 

Jinseong headed to Yebichnna’s Shop.

 

It was to inform her of the current situation and get her consent regarding matters related to Shinnara.

 

However, he couldn’t break Shinnara’s stubbornness that she would accompany them even if it killed her.

 

‘You know there’s no one else besides me who can properly check Seondonguk oppa’s equipment condition!’ she even threatened, so Jinseong eventually arrived in front of Yebichnna’s store with her in tow.

 

“Huh? You’re joking, right? This is supposed to be a store? This is just an old apartment building.”

 

In front of Yebichnna’s store, Sohee frowned deeply, telling him not to joke around.

 

Because the cognitive distortion passive skill was active, it just looked like an ordinary apartment building to her eyes.

 

But when Jinseong climbed the stairs in front of the store and put his hand on the door handle, like a mirage, the therapy shop with bright lighting and fragrant floral scent revealed itself.

 

The interior visible through the glass windows was a pretty store with harmonious white marble floors and warm wooden interior.

 

Sohee’s mouth fell wide open.

 

“Wow, my goodness… What kind of item is this? You put concealment on the location itself? Even cognitive interference? Ha, really. This is how I’m proven that my creativity has limits.”

 

Sohee entered the store with big strides, her mouth tightly shut. She was curious about the identity of the person who kept surprising her.

 

But Sohee’s eyes narrowed as she looked around inside.

 

Inside the store stood a thin, pretty woman with long disheveled hair as if she had just woken up, looking flustered.

 

“Senior…? Who is the person next to you…?”

 

It was the woman who had been inside that store she had glimpsed when following Jinseong before.

 

‘This woman?’

 

Clearly, with her emotion item, this woman had been judged 100% civilian.

 

Sohee tilted her head in confusion.

 

“This unni is oppa’s girlfriend.”

 

“Girlfriend…?”

 

Sohee looked once at the woman staring at her with round eyes, once at Jinseong, and made a “hmph” sound.

 

Whether they were dating or not wasn’t what was important right now.

 

Sohee immediately raised her voice to ask.

 

“Unni, are you really that enchanter?”

 

“Yes, yes?”

 

As if not even seeing Yebichnna’s flustered state, Sohee made a square frame using both her index fingers and thumbs. Then she scanned Yebichnna’s entire body as if taking a photo.

 

Her colorful nails sparkled as they emitted magical power.

 

This item could be called Sohee’s masterpiece.

 

It could measure a hunter’s rank by detecting the magical circuits and approximate amount of magical power of hunters within the square frame.

 

What was even more amazing was that it could check the degree of magical residue accumulated in magical circuits, allowing her to roughly gauge the progression stage of magical addiction symptoms.

 

However, it had the limitation of not being able to accurately judge the amount of accumulated magical residue, so she hadn’t officially released it yet.

 

“Strange, this is strange.”

 

Sohee muttered habitually. Even after using the item several times, the result was the same.

 

The sensor measuring magical power amount showed no abnormalities, but Yebichnna’s body felt no different from an ordinary person with no magical power detected.

 

“Shinnara, that’s enough.”

 

Unable to watch anymore, Jinseong stepped forward and blocked Sohee’s path.

 

Yebichnna looked at Jinseong with a flustered face.

 

“Senior, how did you come with Sohee-nim?”

 

Jinseong let out a short “haa” breath and swept back his bangs.

 

“As I said before, your ability becomes too dangerous if revealed to the world. Especially items like the one you sent to Seondonguk hyung.”

 

Knowing that danger, Yebichnna, who had only been waiting for Jinseong’s contact, blinked her eyes.

 

At her expression that seemed to ask what that had to do with Shinnara, Jinseong continued.

 

“So Shinnara agreed to impersonate you. It’s probably only a matter of time before your identity is revealed.”

 

“What? Sohee-nim will…?”

 

Yebichnna finally understood the situation.

 

While surprised that Sohee had agreed to stake her reputation and become a shield to protect her, she was also afraid of the ripple effects her ability would cause.

 

“That was the condition for knowing unni’s identity.”

 

Sohee added with a wink.

 

“I was going to go ‘Actually, I was Yebichnna the healer and enchanter, ta-da!'”

 

“But wouldn’t that make Sohee-nim more dangerous instead? I know you’re already receiving tremendous security… If the lie were to be discovered…”

 

When Yebichnna hesitated apologetically, Sohee waved her hand dismissively.

 

“Then I’ll just make excuses about magical power depletion and retire. I’m busy to death anyway. Ah, but seeing unni, I think I should retire right now. What kind of enchanter am I, trash like me…”

 

“Stop.”

 

As Sohee’s words were about to get longer, Jinseong cut her off again.

 

Sohee pouted her lips.

 

“Why won’t you let me talk…”

 

“I wanted to discuss this beforehand, but I’m sorry for bringing her so suddenly like this.”

 

Though this was Yebichnna’s first time talking with Sohee, she could immediately see her personality.

 

She probably would have stubbornly insisted on coming along by any means necessary.

 

Yebichnna smiled slightly and shook her head.

 

“When you’re going through trouble for my sake, I should at least give my thanks.”

 

“Even if it’s a temporary measure, she’ll do well as a decoy.”

 

“Right, I’m pretty good at acting. So, could I perhaps take a look at those works?”

 

Sohee had been drooling over the items lined up on the shelves and tables.

 

She wanted to analyze the items right away, but as an enchanter, she knew better than anyone that touching someone else’s work without permission was rude, so she didn’t move carelessly.

 

She was just shining her eyes like a dog waiting for sweet potatoes.

 

“Please look around as much as you want. Though they’re not as amazing as Sohee-nim’s items.”

 

As soon as Yebichnna gave permission, Sohee immediately ran over and grabbed several items at once.

 

“Crazy, crazy, crazy!”

 

Sohee screamed in shock as she examined each item closely.

 

“Why? Why? There’s clearly no magical power in your body, so where is the magical power coming from? What is this insanely precise magical arrangement? Huh? Is it possible for humans to make this?”

 

The more Sohee observed Yebichnna’s items, the more her face mixed with despair and ecstasy.

 

The magical combination was much more precise than the roll-on oil she had seen through Ohyeongtaek before, and it was so excellent in terms of magical stability and structure that “amazing” wasn’t enough to describe it.

 

Eventually, Sohee knelt down on the spot and muttered helplessly.

 

“This isn’t just feeling a wall, this is just not within human category…”

 

Sohee burst into hollow laughter. It was a moment when she painfully understood why Jinseong had tried so thoroughly to hide this woman, why he had tried to silence her.

 

“Really… The great Shinnara…”

 

Sohee looked up at Yebichnna and said.

 

“Unni, it seems like it would be dangerous to stay here. My ironclad security underground workshop should be used by unni, not me.”

 

Yebichnna carefully opened her mouth.

 

“It’s okay. The store has a passive skill, so people with hostility can be forcibly expelled, and people who have never been here can’t even perceive the store.”

 

After briefly explaining the safe house system, Jinseong visibly showed signs of relief.

 

On the other hand, Sohee crawled on her knees and grabbed the hem of Yebichnna’s pants.

 

“What kind of skill is that? Unni, please won’t you take me as your disciple? I’ll beg like this. This Shinnara is begging like this. Waaah.”

 

Then Jinseong, who couldn’t stand Sohee’s disgraceful behavior anymore, grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and dragged her away from Yebichnna.

 

Watching this, Yebichnna smiled awkwardly and said as if just remembering.

 

“By the way, this is unfortunate. It was oil I made to use for Seondonguk oppa.”

 

Yebichnna turned her gaze to the oil neatly arranged on one shelf.

 

Jinseong didn’t follow Yebichnna’s gaze and just quietly looked at her face.

 

It was an expression full of regret.

 

He recalled the days at the Training Academy when Seondonguk had carefully looked after Yebichnna when she couldn’t adapt and was left out, and how the two often stuck together afterward.

 

Even Jinseong had heard that Yebichnna visited the hospital every week after Seondonguk was hospitalized.

 

She must have been looking forward to meeting Seondonguk that much, but seeing her not showing it made Jinseong feel unnecessarily sorry.

 

“For the item to show proper effects, I need to go there myself and use my skill. So… contact me when the situation allows. I’m ready anytime.”

 

Yebichnna forced her lips to curve up and brushed away even the small regret that had shown.

 

Praying for the day to come soon when he could use that item on Seondonguk.
