Chapter 316: Lifetime Luck wasted on Gacha (3) “Kyahaha! Ahh I’m so happy!”

Hehehe! Me too me too!

“6 in a row on an onion core? That’s nuts!”

300 dollars in 10 minutes…!

“Ah, sorry but I don’t think I can give you 300 dollars.”

??,,

“Because I’ll be giving you 400 dollars instead! Kyahahaha!”

Aha…

“But seriously, you freaking money-addict. I saw that straight face you made just then alright? Don’t you have anything to say to me, who’s being so nice to you?”

“…I love you.” 400 dollars!

“Ahak! You crazy little kid. ‘I love you’, lol. Kyahahahaha–!”

Ehehehehe–!

Doonga doonga~. Gyeoul was carried by Yeorum and was moved left and right.

While that was happening, Gyeoul saw something behind Yeorum’s back.

Yu Jitae was looking at her. Usually she would have given a bright smile as soon as their eyes met but this time, she didn’t. Instead, her gaze headed towards Bom who was half-lying-down, and leaning on Yu Jitae’s arms.

Bom had created a gap between the fingers that were covering her eyes and was looking up at Yu Jitae’s face. With her anxiously crooked eyes, she gazed at his face for a few seconds.

When Bom suddenly began ripping out the layers of the onion core, her breathing had been very deep and coarse. That still seemed to be the case, as the tight t-shirt revealed her stomach moving up and down.

However, the pace of her breath gradually slowed down as she deeply gazed at Yu Jitae’s face. Even her crooked eyes returned to normal at a visible rate, which Gyeoul found to be quite intriguing.

Bom tended to face Yu Jitae with such eyes very often. It was similar to the gaze Myung Yongha had been facing his wife with; also similar to his wife’s gaze towards her sons at the vacation in the past.

Right as Yu Jitae was about to lower his gaze, Bom moved her fingers to cover her eyes again. Then, she lifted her body up from his embrace with a normal look on her face.

That was also when Yeorum returned to her senses.

“Oh right, so. Bom-unni.”

“Nn?”

“Are you alright?”

“Ah… Nn. Sorry for acting strange for a bit. I became a bit emotional. It’s fine now.”

“Weren’t you like, going to talk about something that happened when you were young?”

“Just something unlucky that happened with gacha.”

“Is that seriously just it? To be honest, your eyes just then were on the same insane level as the laptop incident.”

Bom smiled in response.

“It’s too embarrassing to talk about…”

At that point, it was difficult to ask any more questions.

In any case, what was important was that the 6th seal of the core had been lifted, and that it could now give off close to 3 times the output of the original core. In truth, the [Release Output Amplification Core] was only a second-grade item out of supplementary cores and there were tons of better ones out there.

However, things were different as soon as it reached 3 seals where it would give off 1.7 times its original output. Even a slight difference in output mattered tremendously for supplementary cores, meaning that onion cores had vastly superior potential.

And that was why onion cores above 5 lifted seals were usually shared to the public by broadcasting companies.

In addition, Yeorum’s quick re

Yu Jitae would provide help if that were to become a problem in the future, but he had no plans of helping her aside from that.

“…Can you please, help her?”

“Why. I told you. Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”

“…Nnnn.”

Gyeoul raised her head from his chest.

“…If unni asks for help… please help her.”

“Why.”

“…Because, she needs to learn.”

The child looked into his eyes for a bit, before burying her head back into his chest.

“I told you, it’s time for her to learn how to solve problems by herself.”

“…That’s, something she does by herself.”

“Yes.”

“…That means, she can do it after we go back.”

Her following words struck Yu Jitae in the back of his head.

“…But, if we go back… she can’t learn from ahjussi… anymore.”

When the words of the child seeped into his ears, it caused a ripple in his emotions.

Can’t learn from me after they go back?

Those words put more emphasis on himself than the act of learning.

It was strange.

He had never desired to be loved before. Never had he wanted to remain as a meaningful or special existence in the minds of the kids and that was also the fundamental reason why he had put a distance between himself and Bom.

The reason he forced these kids into one place was because he wanted them to live happily without dying. That was the only wish Yu Jitae had for the hatchlings.

Do not die. Be happy. That was it.

What they thought of him as in that process was something he wasn’t interested about.

Since that had always been the thought in his mind, Gyeoul’s words surged a strange emotion in his mind.

But how is that important? Everything would be in the past already anyway. You guys would live for thousands of years and the time you’ve spent with me would be less than 1% of that time, would it not?

That was what he wanted to ask.

However, he knew those questions weren’t suited for the current situation so he buried those questions in his mind. Judging from the context, Gyeoul would probably be sad if he were to return such questions.

In the end, he had no choice but to console the kid because the child’s mood was the most important in the world.

“Got it.”

“…Really?”

“Yeah. If Yeorum asks for help, I will help her.”

Gyeoul finally looked a lot better as she looked at him and gave him a nod.

After sending the child off, he noticed his shirt was wet around the chest and looking at a mirror, he realised his gray shirt had turned darker around that area.

It was a lot despite her small eyes.

Perhaps because she was a blue dragon.

“Dear. Are you sleeping?”

That same dawn was when Yeorum came looking for Yu Jitae.
