Chapter 26: Female President (2)
By dusk, the excite Ru Amuh’s rescue had settled down, and the cah Chi-Woo was the center of all their attention, he’d been lying in his tent all day while twirling ‘The World’s Milestone’ in his hand
n on the side of a road that marked the distance fronificant developoal
When he rolled the die without thinking, he had gotten a e related to Ru Amuh’s rescue, which in turn pushed hih, was that it had done nothing ive him directions Of course, its directions had been helpful, but all it did was provide hiht perk so that he could take the path the World wanted hiuidance or not If Chi-Woo hadn’t done anything or had given up in the end, Ru Amuh probably would’ve died, and Ru Hiana would’ve likely followed suit
h his ained a couple of pieces of infor to the number that he rolled
2 The die roll ended up either a success or a failure
The latter hat caught his attention ot a ‘less failure’, while five stars resulted in a ‘small success’
‘If it fails, it fails Why added extra words to describe the results?’
Chi-Woo was curious about the standard of success and failure, too He wondered if even numbers yielded failure and odd numbers yielded success And that wasn’t all

-> [The World’s Milestone] is currently inactive Please wait for a bit…
Without his knowledge, his user information had updated, and it appeared that he was currently unable to use the die Seeing this, he recalled how he got ahim if he wanted to roll another tiet any5 stars What was the condition for the die to becoain? And hoas he supposed to turn the first page of a book he couldn’t find?
“Uhhhhh—”
‘I don’t know!’ Chi-Woo shouted inwardly and decided to clear his head by rolling the die Neither Ru Hiana nor Eval Sevaru was inside the tent, and Zelit was lost in silent bemusement That hen Chi-Woo heard sohtly lifted the tent’s veil; it was Ru Hiana She glanced at the preoccupied Zelit before gesturing at Chi-Woo and turning around Chi-Woo quietly rose from his spot and followed her Once they put soan, “Ruahu’s condition has stabilized now” She spoke much more politely than before Furtherard appearance
“We can finally be at peace now I should have come tell you earlier Sorry for the delay”
“No worries I’ has worked out Good work”
“I didn’t do much It’s all thanks to you that ere able to save Ruahu, and…” Ru Hiana stopped uard captain said you told her that you wouldn’t have been able to defeat the vengeful spirit without me…”
“Well, that’s the truth,” Chi-Woo replied honestly, but Ru Hiana waved her hand in denial
“No How could you say that? I couldn’t do anything the whole time and just did some clean-up in the end”
“What do you ht withtoo ht Chi-Woo had purposefully given her undue credit so that the original inhabitants of Liber would look after Ru Amuh withlike fareat a hero was, they needed helpers; especially in a confusing world like this, they desperately needed the planet’s original inhabitants on their side, but Ru Hiana could feel the guard captain’s implicit dislike for the recruits Fortunately, after Chi-Woo’s deed, her attitude had become much more favorable that she even helped take care of Ru Aain the original inhabitants’ trust Ru Hiana had no qualms about this matter; she believed it was only natural for him to receive the praise It was thanks to Chi-Woo that they were able to see the rescue mission to its end, and Ru Hiana had personally witnessed this fact Still, Chi-Woo decided to share his hard-won influence he could’ve rightfully monopolized And Ru Hiana, who had an honest personality like Ru Aetic She was also nervous
“Not at all We helped each other out And there’s no need to make a distinction like that e’re cooal,” Chi-Woo said Of course, Chi-Woo had a completely different mindset from Ru Hiana and wasn’t pleased by the current situation But he continued, “Anyways, is Mr Ru Amuh fine now?”
“Yes His condition was critical for a uard captain and the seer’s help, he was able to overco returned to norain his consciousness soon”
Chi-Woo silently thanked her for allowing the change of subject Finally, things were getting back on track, or so he thought
“Then…” Ru Hiana took a deep breath “It’s ht Chi-Woo co?”
“The Ru family is one that considers a promise as valuable as one’s life” Ru Hiana’s attitude suddenly changed She looked up at Chi-Woo and said in a serious voice, “I made a promise to you for this rescueI will do whatever you tell me to]
[I swear on the Ru family name]
It seemed Chi-Woo had misunderstood what those words meant
“Since you kept your side of the promise, it’s my turn to fulfill mine” With disciplined movements, Ru Hiana put her hand on her chest and bowed “As I proardless of how crazy it is, I’ll gladly accept it” Ru Hiana sounded like she was prepared to even become a meat shi+eld if Chi-Woo asked her to
“…” Chi-Woo beca out as he hoped
“That…If not…” Ru Hiana hesitated, and her ears reddened She looked down and fumbled as she took out the rope “I can… what you wanted…last ti” Chi-Woo realized what she was saying and exclaiht want…” Ru Hiana ducked her head with a pitiful expression; she seemed unable to meet his eyes due to embarrassment
Chi-Woo couldn’t understand her behavior; it was a bit toolike this?’
‘Is this how all heroes are?’ Chi-Woo coet up Let’s talk a bit”
“No I’ll listen to you like this”
