That guy is This guy Side story 1 chapter 9

9.

03. Happy ending

The first-place match against Lycheeyum was scheduled for 9pm the very next day.

It wasn’t a bad schedule for someone like me who wanted to beat Lyheeyum and finish the ranking match as soon as possible.

“So, you don’t have to do any more ranking matches tomorrow?”

“That’s right.”

I answered by putting a piece of apple on a fork and putting it into the mouth of Chae Yoo-jeong, who was hugging my waist.

“There is no point loss for first place, and all you have to do is wait for a new second place user, but that won’t be easy.”

There wasn’t much time left in the ranking competition, and the second-place user ‘dodory1’ I met yesterday did quite well, so I wasn’t too worried. Now that I’m in second place, that user has been pushed down to third place.

Lycheeyum’s skills aren’t that bad considering he’s also made it to the top anyway. If there’s Lycheeyum and dodory1 below me, even if a new person joins the rankings, they will most likely not reach first place.

Chae Yoo-jeong, who was lying on the sofa next to me and quietly accepting the apple, shyly opened his mouth.

“I can watch the first-place match, so I’ll go watch it too.”

“Okay.”

After happily sharing the apple with Chae Yoo-jeong, I woke up and realized that it was already past 7 o’clock at night.

I have to go to work tomorrow and also play a ranking match at night, so I’ll call it a day.

I have to go back too. It was a pity that I had come to have dinner with Chae Yoo-jeong in the first place, but I had no choice.

“I’ll go and see.”

I took off my tie, which was loosely tied around my neck, and stuffed it into the pocket of my suit. As I went to the entrance, Chae Yoo-jeong followed behind me.

“Shall I take you there?”

“It’s okay. You must be tired, so don’t come out.”

“Why should I be tired?”

When Chae Yoo-jeong refused, putting on his shoes, he immediately became sullen. I thought it looked pretty too, so I smiled and gently touched his cheek.

“I will stay longer after the ranking match is over. Just wait one day.”

“I can go to Hyung’s house……….”

“What are you doing in that narrow place?”

“It’s not narrow.”

“It’s narrow. and……….”

I placed his hand on Chae Yoo-jeong’s shoulder and narrowed the distance between me and him.

“The soundproofing there is not very good.”

“……!”

When I secretly whispered in Chae Yoo-jeong’s ear, his body trembled and his cheeks and ears instantly turned bright red.

It’s amazing every time I see it. How can it turn red so quickly?

“Isn’t it better if I come here instead?”

“………Yes.”

Chae Yoo-jeong nodded his head, covering his red face with his hand. It’s so cute I want to chew him and eat him, really.

“I’m really going now.”

As I spoke and tapped his cheek, Chae Yoo-jeong kissed me in a familiar way.

I didn’t forget to kiss him back, and when I opened the front door, I gently waved at Chae Yoo-jeong.

“I’m going to take a taxi today and I’ll be back home soon. I’ll contact you later, so take a break.”

“Yes.”

***

The next day, after taking a shower after work, I went straight to Zenoris.

There were about 10 minutes left until 9 o’clock, so I checked the equipment one last time, and Chae Yoo-jeong followed me and logged into Zenoris.

[Yoo Chae: Hyung >_<]

[I’m sleepy: >_<]

When I responded by copying Chae Yoo-jeong’s emoticon, he started chattering with excitement.

[Yoo Chae: it’s starting soon]

[Yoo Chae: I’ll be there to cheer you on!!]

[Yoo Chae: o(≧∇≦o)]

[Yoo Chae: (o≧∇≦)o]

[I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]]

[I’m sleepy: I’ll finish it in 5 minutes, baby^^]

Two minutes before 9 o’clock, the character was automatically moved to the waiting room.

Unlike before, there was a window on the top right with the username listed. It seemed to be a list of users watching this game.

There must be about 50 people. As I scrolled down, there was Chae Yoo-jeong’s nickname somewhere in the middle.

Apparently, because it was the ranking match with the first rank for a new job, there were a lot of people who came to watch. Well, I’m glad to hear that. The more people who see Lycheeyum losing first place, the better.

While I was stretching my hands, I was moved to the duel area at 9 o’clock. I made an emotional expression greeting Lycheeyum across from me. Since I can’t chat here, I have to provoke him like this.

Lycheeyum, who saw my expression of emotion, was not to be outdone and expressed his emotion as well. It’s ridiculous, really.

<System> The ranking match will begin soon. Get ready for battle!

<System> 3, 2, 1

<System> Battle begins!

After the countdown ended, the ranking match began in earnest, but both Lycheeyum and I kept our distance without attacking. It was always either the other person was going to attack me, or I was going to attack them. This was my first time seeing something like this.

It looks like he really wants to win. To some extent, I understood Lycheeyum’s feelings. Of course, I have no intention of losing just because I understand.

After about 30 seconds, I was getting frustrated with Lycheeyum who was just moving around and not thinking of getting closer, so I closed the distance first.

Let’s start by looking at Lycheeyum’s fighting style. First of all, just in case, I saved the rush and moved just enough to be within the skill range. Then, as if I had been waiting, the skill flew out and passed in front of my feet.

‘Um…………?’

The moment I saw Lycheeyum’s skill shot, I felt a strange sensation and narrowed my eyes.

‘Something… No, let’s take a closer look.’

They might have done it to deceive me, so it’s too early to be sure. To find out more, I deliberately made a stupid move to make it look like I could guess the skill right away.

Then, every time I moved, the skill flew by. I quickly dodged it and figured out Lycheeyum’s skills.

“You can’t be a dog.”

I sighed and muttered. No, of course, he’s better than the other kids I’ve met before, but... It was clear that he was worse than the second-place user I met yesterday.

In the end, he put the guild member who was better than him in second place, and the Guild Master himself was in first place. The reason is probably because of the promotion of that famous guild.

It was shameful that he placed his guild member in second place in a ranking match based purely on skill, but he was even worse than his guild member? I was so shocked that I burst out laughing.

I mouse-clicked right behind the character with the mouse to dodge the skill again and then ran straight towards Lycheeyum. Since I had figured out the other person, there was no reason to take any more time.

As expected, when I closed the distance, Lycheeyum quickly ran away from me. He had no more skill or spirit than second place.

Lycheeyum is probably the type of person who throws a skill at an opponent and gauges his or her skill by watching how he or she avoids it. If the opponent is able to easily dodge a skill, he or she is probably more skilled than you, so you will delay as much time as possible, and if he or she is unable to dodge, you will fight aggressively.

Of course, it’s not a bad method. So you must have come all the way up here with your guild members. However, it was very easy to destroy it if you knew the relative law. The law of destruction is simple. You just have to hit them.

‘Because I’m better at that.’

I will bite you like a dog. I smiled darkly and doggedly chased after Lycheeyum, who was trying to get away.

However, since we both ran at the same speed, a little trick was needed to catch Lycheeyum. So, as if I was impatient, I used my lunge towards Lycheeyum.

Slash!

As expected, as soon as I used the lunge, Lycheeyum stopped and stuttered as if it had lagged. I frown because I know why he does that.

I did it.

‘How can someone who doesn’t even know the range of restraint skills want to come in first place?’

The dash was the only evasion technique that could avoid the restraint skill. Since I used such a valuable skill, I guess he was going to immediately tie me up and attack me.

And I guessed that Lycheeyum would react like that, so I used the dash skill but was careful not to get within the range of the restraint skill.

As a result of adjusting it so that it didn’t touch it, Lycheeyum was completely fooled by my fake skill, and while he was struggling, I walked just one step forward and used the restraint skill first.

Lycheeyum, who was so embarrassed that he could not avoid the binding skill, was tied up in front of me.

It was a shame that Lycheeyum was only this good, but I still had to finish it. I smiled and tapped the keyboard without hesitation.

Lycheeyum’s character, who had been hitting the skill hard while screaming, “Ugh, Ugh, Ugh,” ran away with about 10% of his remaining health as soon as the restraint skill was over. I watched this for a while and then threw my weakest R skill at Lycheeyum. The skill hit Lycheeyum squarely in the back of the head.

Wow! In the end, Lycheeyum, who lost all of his remaining stamina, died in a fierce battle without even being able to use a single skill against me.

I shook my head as I looked at Lycheeyum’s character lying on the floor with his back facing me. If I had just tackled it with a game-changing mentality, I would have been able to get the skill right even once. I don’t know what that looks like.

Anyway, a win’s a win, so I walked in front of Lycheeyum’s character and made the same greeting emoticon as before. There are some emotional expressions that could make him angrier, but using them would result in excessive teabagging, so this was the most appropriate level. Well, even when we say goodbye, we say hello. In the sense that we should never see each other again.

Ding diding!

HM: he must have been that bad if even MC is like this is way too easy
