Overgeared

“Hoo, hah.”

“......?”

It was early in the morning...

Youngwoo arrived at the promenade and was dumbfounded. Jishuka was floundering around. She took deep breaths and slowly swung her arms around. It resembled the Tai Chi moves in movies that Youngwoo enjoyed as a child. She had good proportions and was pretty, so she looked good no matter what she did.

Jishuka explained to the engrossed Youngwoo, “It is good for increasing concentration.”

It was surprisingly difficult to release the action slowly. It required higher concentration and patience than when moving fast.

Youngwoo nodded as he remembered a story he once heard.

‘I heard that the difficulty of the new skill she learned is very high. Is this why?’

He had watched the video recorded by his younger sister, Sehee, several times. Now Jishuka’s arrows didn’t need to be aimed at the target. She shot at the innocent ground or walls and it repeatedly bounced off and bent at strange angles before reaching the target. The demons collapsed with an incredulous look as they looked down at the arrows stuck in their necks.

Jishuka’s arrows had a stealth effect and evolved into a more unpredictable weapon. However, he heard it was very difficult to use because it wasn’t easy to calculate the trajectory even from the perspective of shooting arrows.

“Hmm... Should I try it too?” Youngwoo had never skipped stretching before he started his jogs. It was always with Jishuka, but now Jishuka was doing Tai Chi instead of stretching. Youngwoo always wanted to do the same thing.

Jishuka laughed.

“I knew this would be the case, so I prepared it.”

A holographic image emerged from Jishuka’s watch. It was a Tai Chi video. This was a video that Hao had taken and sent to her. Hao was the heir to a prestigious Chinese martial arts family and he practiced the peak of Tai Chi. Every move was accompanied by a detailed explanation to help with understanding.

Wouldn’t the value of this video be worth billions if converted to money? It was to the extent where it was a perfect textbook. However, Youngwoo’s expression was very uncomfortable. “Did you contact Hao separately?”

“Huh? It is natural. We are friends.”

In the absence of Youngwoo, the alliance of the Overgeared Guild and Hao had been repeated several times. It would be a problem if they didn’t become friends. It was just that Youngwoo’s reaction was uneasy.

“Friends...? Friends... can a man and a woman be friends?”

Youngwoo repeated the word ‘friend’ several times before asking with a serious expression. He was trying not to express his feelings, but his stiff eyes showed his unpleasant emotions. If Jishuka had been an ordinary woman, she would’ve felt a great deal of anger. He had two lovers in reality and three wives in the game, but he was doubting her friend?

Nevertheless, Jishuka wasn’t angry. Rather, she blushed with a relaxed expression and her fingers twitched. “It is right that we are friends, but... Hmm, you don’t want me to get in touch with a man?”

“Yes.”

“W-Well, I will do as you say.”

Jishuka unexpectedly liked being restrained.
