Regressor Instruction Manual - Chapter 431. Life Threatening (1)

In the first place, it didn’t make sense that the effect of that medicine would vanish because it was a proposal tantamount to a Mythic elixir for Jung Ha-Yan. If I were to exaggerate a bit, it was a supreme elixir to calm her down at any given time.

‘Did I neglect her too much?’

I started regretting what I had been doing all this while. I knew I had gotten a bit busy recently, but it was no excuse to neglect her mental health. However, there wasn’t really much I could have done back when I was still inside Salit with Elena.

‘No, that situation isn’t really relevant. Now that I’m thinking about it, I don’t think she’s acting like this because I have been neglecting her a lot.’

I recalled what I had been doing and realized that I wasn’t really neglecting her that much. I knew just how scary Jung Ha-Yan could be whenever she went crazy, so I made sure to invest time and effort to take care of her mental death.

I was busy, but I made sure to spend time with her on short dates. I also made sure to satisfy her physically and mentally. I had been doing my best, and what I had been doing should have been enough to satisfy her.

I had an idea why her tolerance had become higher. It was probably because of her higher overall expectation. Usually, she would be satisfied with holding hands, kissing, doing leisure activities, and eating out together.

However, it seemed that my proposal to get married increased her expectations. It was similar to receiving tolerance to medications. She needed a higher dose for her to become satisfied.

There was a saying about how people would eventually take things for granted if they were constantly being showered with favors. Jung Ha-Yan was basically taking me for granted right now.

I was sure that she was thinking along the lines of…

‘I’m his fiancée, so it’s my right. I’m his fiancée, so this is the least he can do for me. It is my right, so I should expect to get it. Yeah, it’s expected. I have to take the next step in my relationship with him.’

I realized it the moment I saw Jung Ha-Yan’s crazed expression. It was already too late.

However, it was still too early for me to use the medicine I had injected into her in Laios. I thought about taking back the right she had as my fiancée, but it would be a cheap move to take back what I had already given to her.

I also knew that if I were to take the rights she believed she rightfully owned, then there was a high chance that she would do something that would make things complicated for me.

“You said we were going to get married… Heuuuk!” Jung Ha-Yan sobbed.

While I was imagining a situation I didn’t want to even imagine at all, Jung Ha-Yan looked aggrieved, as if she had been a victim of a scam. She was suspicious of me and was resenting Cha Hee-Ra, but this was actually a rare sight.

She wasn’t being openly hostile. Jung Ha-Yan was simply trying to express her dissatisfaction.

“I’m busy…” I told her.

“You said that… we were going to get married. Heuuk. When are we going to get married… When… W-When?!” she screamed.

‘She’s raising her voice. She’s really crazy…’

“Yelling like that won’t resolve—”

“Ugggggh. I really don’t like Cha Hee-Ra… I hate her. Sooooo much!” she yelled again.

‘You provoked her first.’

The way she kept talking to herself was ridiculous. I couldn’t really hear her, but I was sure that she was muttering certain words to herself. Until now, I couldn’t even begin to wrap my head around Jung Ha-Yan yelling at me, but I guess she was worked up this time.

‘Should I yell at her?’

I could overpower her by yelling even louder than her.

I wanted to yell at her as if I were an eighth-generation noble born in the Joseon Dynasty, but I could see from her unyielding gaze that she would remain relentless, even in the face of the harshest torture.

‘She’s really scary.’

She looked like she would explode at any moment, and I was so shocked by the fact that she yelled at me to the extent that I almost yelled back at her.

“Ugggh.”

The way her arms were trembling as she bit her lips made me think that yelling at her wouldn’t work because she would definitely not listen to me. Naturally, I thought about bringing Kim Hyun-Sung to suppress this scoundrel.

I wanted to take a step back to take a breather, but Jung Ha-Yan was holding onto the hem of my clothes rather tightly. If we were in a secret room, then I would have already pissed my pants.

‘What should I do?’

I couldn’t possibly inject her with an even stronger medicine because if I increased her expectations, then I would eventually reach a point where no medicine would work on her anymore because of her high tolerance.

I felt bad seeing Jung Ha-Yan staring at me with her big round eyes, so I had no choice but to think of a way to overcome all this in the meantime.

‘Should I try comforting her like I did yesterday with Cha Hee-Ra? No, that won’t work. It could completely fail.’

I could still remember how my entire body felt as a result of the seduction, so I didn’t really want to do it again, but…

‘This is the only way.’

Cha Hee-Ra and I were the only ones on the griffon during that incident, but Jung Ha-Yan and I were standing in the middle of Lindel.

Similar to the unicorn incident, Jung Ha-Yan definitely wanted to maintain her innocence. Therefore, I was sure that she wouldn’t be like Cha Hee-Ra and tackle me in the middle of Laios.

‘And it has already been proven to be effective.’

The method was a bit different, but it should calm her down. I slowly moved away from Jung Ha-Yan, who had already buried her face into my chest. I saw her tear-stained eyes. I revealed an extremely seductive smile and kissed her.

“Don’t cry, Ha-Yan,” I said.

“Heuuuuk.”

I pushed her hair back and started touching her ear.

“I told you that I’m in a bad situation right now. I also asked you to be more understanding when it comes to work-related things. I’ll be in trouble if you continue to throw a tantrum like this,” I said.

“Ahh…”

My touch wasn’t anything grand, but it was enough to stimulate her five senses. As expected, Jung Ha-Yan blushed and started trembling. I actually got worried that she would collapse right there and then.

“Ahhhhhh…!” she moaned.

She definitely reacted better than I had expected. I got worried because she looked like she was holding in her pee by the way she was clenching her legs together, but the sight was definitely worthy of a nod from me.

“I want to get married to you as soon as possible, too. I just have no choice but to wait because of the current situation. I’ve been thinking about you every day, and it has always made me feel like my heart is going to explode. Like this…” I told her.

My heart was racing because I was afraid. In addition to whispering sweet words into her ear, I also made sure to placate her by presenting a reasonable argument.

It wasn’t that I hadn’t been showering her with any physical affection all this time, but she was well aware that the quality of my physical affection this time was a bit different than usual because right now, I was trying my best to spread my pheromones.

“Ah…!” she moaned again.

I immediately realized that this was a mistake.

“Haaa… Haaa… Ha,” she panted.

Her breathing was getting rough, and the way she was looking at me started changing in a strange way. For some reason, Jung Ha-Yan’s skin started turning red as well, and she was squirming.

Her expression was also ambiguous because I wasn’t sure if she was crying or smiling.

‘This is a total—’

My vision suddenly narrowed and darkened.

‘Huh? What’s wrong with me?’

I was getting sleepy, and my legs were giving out. I tried to keep my heavy eyes open, but I couldn’t stop myself from closing my eyes

‘Did you do this, Jung Ha-Yan?’

I didn’t really feel her mustering her mana, not to mention casting a spell. I wasn’t sure if the backlash of what Cha Hee-Ra and I had done had finally arrived or if it was because of Jung Ha-Yan, but I slowly started falling forward.

And that was when Jung Ha-Yan whispered, “Y-Y-You must be really tired.”

Her voice wasn’t filled with madness like earlier. She looked genuinely worried, but I easily deduced her true intentions. After all, she wasn’t even trying to hide the lust in her eyes.

“I-I’ll take you to your r-room. You should rest for today. Hehe. Heh. Hehehe,” Jung Ha-Yan giggled.

“Oh, yeah. I’m suddenly… P-Potion…” I stuttered.

“I-I’ll give you some, but l-lean on me for now,” she said.

“Right now…” I requested.

“O-Okay…” she replied.

“…”

“…”

“Wake… up.”

“…”

“Oppa, wake up. I thought you have a meeting to attend? What are you doing here?”

“Lee Ji-Hye?”

I didn’t know what time it was, but I had to have been unconscious for quite a while since it was already bright outside. I thought I was with Jung Ha-Yan, but the person I saw was a shocked and worried Lee Ji-Hye.

She also looked like she had no idea what was going on.

‘Why is she here instead of Jung Ha-Yan?’

“Oh? You’re really up. I was just joking,” Lee Ji-Hye said.

“W-What the… Was I asleep for a long time?” I asked.

“You’ve been sleeping for three days,” she replied.

“What?”

“I said, you’ve been asleep for exactly three days. Are you really okay?” she asked.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

“A templar visited from the Vatican,” she answered.

“What? A templar? Why?” I asked.

“I don’t know what’s going on over there either, but… they received a signal that you were in danger. They returned after being told that you’re fine, but it has been pretty chaotic here because of that. And all this happened while Elena was taking care of you…”

”Are you sure she can be trusted? Does it make sense that the person next to the priest was suddenly plunged into a life-threatening situation? It’s really strange no matter how I think about it,” she explained.

‘What is she talking about?’

“What about Elena? Actually, what is she doing right now?” I asked.

“I think she’s resting after the treatment. By the way, why does it smell like we’re in the forest here?” she asked.

“I’m not sure… Ha-Yan wasn’t here?” I asked.

“I told you that you have been asleep for three days. Half a day after Jung Ha-Yan brought you here, the elf princess came here after receiving news that you weren’t waking up…”

”Three hours later, the templar from the Vatican arrived. It was my first time seeing them, and they were really amazing,” she replied.

It had been quite a while since I became an honorary cardinal of the Vatican, but this was the first time a templar visited me for quite a while now. I had no idea what happened while I was asleep, but…

‘Elena?’

Why did Lee Ji-Hye mention her name?

Anyway, I was sure that I almost ended up dying and going over to Benigoa, and in a shameful way at that. If I had died, then it would have definitely become one of the most hilarious stories that could have existed. I felt bitter.

I unknowingly stared at Lee Ji-Hye, and she started moving closer to me.

“By the way, you look sexy today, oppa. You’re usually sexy, but you look even sexier today…” she remarked.

‘You, too?! Shit…!’

I was seriously cursing inside.
