Chapter 43
Oh my gosh. She knows for sure.
Seora, who was caught for the second time without telling, rolled her eyes. What if everyone in the world knows at this rate…?
‘Lizaliza, does that person really know who you are?’
[Administrator: σ(*´∀`)σ]
So it’s true… I guess I don’t have to worry, seeing them smiling like that.
“Do all shamans feel the existence of the administrator? I’ve never seen anyone who recognized them with their energy.”
Sung Jarim was excluded as an exception.
“When someone with a powerful spirit awakens, they automatically feel the administrator’s presence. You don’t need to worry. There shouldn’t be more than five in the world.”
“Five? That’s more than I thought. But why hasn’t the administrator’s existence been revealed until now?”
“As soon as we realized their existence, a warning was issued. ‘Keep this fact to yourself.’”
Baek Heewon sighed with a tired face. Her trembling hands were filled with fear.
“It was more terrifying than the divine punishment. That’s why I hid in the mountain as soon as I awakened. I don’t want to destroy the world by mistake because of my mouth by living with people.”
What the hell are you talking about? What are you breaking? The world? This world?
Seora stared blankly into the air.
Excuse me, Liza-nim? Will I die if I announce your existence? Will the world come to an end?

[Administrator: (º口º )( º口º)(º口º )( (º口º )(º口º )( º口º)(º口º )( º口º)(º口º )( º口º)(º口º )( º口º)]
The startled administrator shook their head hastily. What the-. That violent reaction is very different from what Baek Heewon said.
For a moment, Seora looked alternately at her and the emoticons and changed her question.
‘Is she mistaken?’
There’s no answer. Baek Hee-won indeed said that, but there was a high probability that the situation was different for Seora.
“Did the administrator directly say that it’ll destroy the world?”
“Just as I know it exists, I also instinctively felt… No, wait a minute.”
Baek Heewon’s hand, which had been pouring hot tea into her mouth continuously, stopped abruptly as she said she was getting full. Her eyelashes began to tremble.
“… Did you not know this?”
“I had no idea. The administrator never said anything like that.”
“Shh! Hah! No, wait, this is not the time to swear.”
Baek Heewon immediately knelt on her knees and banged her head on the table. Surprised by the pounding and overflowing tea water, Seora hurriedly lifted the teacup.
“Baek Heewon? What’s wrong with you?”
“Would you convey my words to the administrator? I will never, never try to go against their will! I have no intention of doing that!”
“What are you talking about?”
“There must be a good reason why the administrator didn’t tell you, but I made a fuss about it… This mouth! This mouth of mine! You bad mouth!”
Baek Heewon started slapping her lips with a face that she would’ve had nothing to say even if she died. In an instant, her lips swelled red, and I was dazed.
What’s this? How weird. Is the administrator I know different from the administrator Baek Heewon knows? Are there two system administrators on Earth?
[Administrator: (✖﹏✖)]
No, impossible.
‘Ah, come to think of it, my image of the administrator wasn’t like this until I saw the emoticon…’
Right. The reason was the emoticon.
Seora looked at Baek Heewon with slightly envious eyes. There was a time when I was so innocent…
[Administrator: 。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。]
The administrator cried as if asking What’s wrong with it?, but Seora ignored them.
“Don’t worry. The administrator doesn’t care at all. Rather, I’d like to hear more about it. Did the administrator really say they were going to destroy the world?”
“…”
Baek Heewon looked into the air with an anxious face.
“It’s all right. They said they won’t bully Baek Heewon.”
“If that’s the case… Hmmm. I don’t know what he said to you, but the administrator said they didn’t want their identity revealed. And if it spreads outside by mistake, I’d better be prepared.”
Baek Heewon trembled. The administrator’s threat must have been really scary.
“You don’t know the exact reason, do you?”
“I don’t know. Because we never actually talked. I literally just felt their intention.”
This made sure Heewon’s and her situation were clearly different. I don’t know if it’s because of my position as a contractor… But one thing was sure.
‘Since they hate to be identified, why did they appear before me in the Werewolf’s dungeon?’
Seora looked into the air with a serious face like never before.
But as if it was a difficult question, there was no answer.

“Is it okay to send her alone? I don’t think that shaman is a normal person.”
Jarim, squatting in front of the gate, asked with a whimper. Her nose was red and swollen.
“I heard that she recognized your uniqueness as soon as she saw you.”
After reporting the current situation to Song Hanna, Jung Hoyoung, who had just hung up on her phone, made a surprised face.
“Did you know about me too?”
“Do you think these golden eyes are for show? The Mage named Han Suwon also has special eyes. So do I.”
“Guild Leader Han Suwon… I see. You have the ability to see other people’s information.”
“Yeah, I saw through you all when we first met. I’m sorry. It’s a bad habit I developed while struggling in Baskar.”
“If you have the ability, you should use it. Did you tell that to Seora?”
“If you mean whether I can see other people’s information, yes. Suppose it’s about your exact identity, no. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.”
“Yeah, don’t tell. I don’t know if she’ll believe it or not, but it’s not a good thing.”
“I won’t say it myself, I promise.”
Despite the firm promise, Jarim averted her gaze.
Seora has much better eyes than me, and if I say this without permission, she will raise a gun with a smile on her face, right?
‘Anyway, it’s fine as long as I don’t tell, right? It doesn’t matter if Seora sees it herself.’
Seora seems to know Jung Hoyoung’s contracted Entity, but she doesn’t know the most important secret. It seems she hasn’t read her information. Then I’ll pretend not to know for now.
Jarim looked over the gate of the gorgeous tile-roofed house. In fact, she was also quite surprised by Baek Heewon’s information. She couldn’t believe she was protected by the sun.
What kind of conversation is that woman, who has one of the most divine powers in Korea, having with Seora?
Did she notice that Seora is the system administrator’s contractor?
‘Moreover, is Seora going to aim her gun?’
Maybe by now, the inside has turned into a mess. As someone who had already seen her gun, Jarim expressed her deepest condolences.
If anyone gets caught by Seora, it will be a hell of a thing.
“… Uh.”
Then Jung Hoyoung straightened her posture and looked straight ahead. Jarim, who had already known that someone was approaching this way, turned her head.
However, her eyes also widened at the unexpected guest.
***
Contrary to what Jarim expected, the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious. Seora’s face, enjoying the refreshments that Baek Heewon offered, was happy.
“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”
Yakgwa, nectar, sweets, and fragrant flower tea. What a perfect table setting. The person who gives delicious food is the nicest.
“Eat a lot. I like your face when you’re eating well.”
“I eat pretty well.”
Baek Heewon patted Seora on the cheek, who was eating sweets.
“That’s right, that’s right. Eat well. Then please leave this place alone. Don’t destroy my house.”
So it was because of that. Noticing that the administrator was very generous to Seora, Baek Heewon immediately bribed her, and thanks to that, Seora enjoyed luxury.
[Administrator: (*´∪`).。oO (♡)]
Yes. Fortunately, the administrator is not angry with Baek Heewon.
“Our administrator is smiling very happily.”
“Really? That’s a relief, that’s a relief. If there’s anything else you’d like to eat, just tell me.”
“Owkay.”contemporary romance
I was a little scared when she said she’d break Jung Hoyoung’s legs, but apparently, she was a better person than I thought.
‘It feels good to have a reliable backing.’
[Administrator: (*˘︶˘人)♡]
“Well, let’s hear what you’ve come to do here. Jung Hoyoung said you seem to be carrying bad luck these days.”
“Right. I have almost died several times recently.”
“Hmm. But I don’t think it’s just bad luck.”
“What do you see?”
“This is a piece of cake. If I can’t do this, I must fold the mat.”
[T/N: Idiom of go bankrupt]
From this tile-roofed house to the neat hanbok, she looks like someone who lives in the Joseon Dynasty, but the way she talks is like a thoroughly modern person.
“That’s what I’m saying, but you don’t need anything blessing. Compared to Jung Hoyoung’s fuss, you’re in much better condition than I thought.”
“I’m in good condition? I’m having such a hard time these days! Don’t tell me that!”
Seora, who was eating snacks with cookie powder smearing her cheeks, shouted.
She had almost died because of Park Jinyong, then she had met a man who claimed to be a returnee, gotten caught up in a rift dungeon, and now she was carrying a returnee who was over 100 years old.
Besides, being turned down for resignation is early on the wrong side of fortune!
“Well, if you were really unlucky, do you think you would receive that kind of affection?”
When referring to the system administrator who poured out their full support, Seora suddenly quiets down. That being said, there was nothing to say.
“Rather, your luck is on the better side.”
“Do you know which side is good luck and which is bad?”
“Are you just going to talk nonsense? You see, all the luck of your dead parents has come to you, and you still think you’ll suffer from bad luck?”
Seora swallowed her breath at the sudden mention.
“Don’t you think you’re too much just because I talked recklessly?! Y-You said I brought all my parents’ luck, so does that mean my parents’ bad luck is all because of me…?”
The sweets that I was eating fell off. Of all days, I had a bad dream today, so I felt depressed in an instant.
[Administrator: ༼ง=ಠ益ಠ=༽ง]
The administrator was furious when Seora suddenly became depressed. Baek Heewon’s face turned blue as if she could feel that energy.
