The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

57 – Unexpected variables (15)

“Yes?”

“You can honestly answer what you think about Erina-sama.”

Colin was embarrassed. When a question came up that was completely different from her own expectations, she couldn’t answer right away.

She just didn’t seem to get a positive answer.

In her eyes, Erina was an unknown person.

From the first time I saw her, she was wary.

Even if it was possible to meet her for the first time, she didn’t have a very good impression after that.

It seemed that he was wary of everyone, not just Colin.

Even Kyla next to her did the same.

She was only interested in Seohyun.

I didn’t care about other people.

I tried to talk to her, but she couldn’t have a conversation because her eyes were always on him.

“He seems a bit scary.”

“What do you mean?”

“From the first time I saw him, he seemed to hate me. There were times when he gave me a threatening look for no reason.”

It is said that even when she met and greeted by chance, she ignored it every time.

Even though we only made eye contact with her, she always maintained a blunt attitude.

She was not easy to approach and difficult to get close to.

To Colin, Erina was the type of person he had never seen before.

Kayla’s eyes narrowed at Colin’s answer.

At least I could feel her sincerity in her words.

“You haven’t opened your heart to me even after a month with Erina-sama.”

“I see…”

“Above all, I had no room to intervene because I got along so well with Seohyun-nim.”

Colin was aware of that fact.

“Because you two are lovers in the first place.”

Although it was a short time, I had never seen the two of them apart.

Sometimes we held hands and hugged each other.

Above all, I could guess just by looking at the way Erina gave Seohyun.

But Kayla’s face hardened. And she corrected Colin.

“You two are not lovers.”

“Yes? But they seemed so close?”

“It is true that they are good friends, but they are not lovers.”

Colin couldn’t easily believe her words.

Everything I’ve seen so far was a scene that could not be shown unless it was a lover.

But Kayla wasn’t lying.

That’s why she had doubts.

What kind of relationship are the two, no, the three?

“Then… Should we say that we have mutual feelings?”

“Not necessarily.”

With a subtle reply, Kayla shut her mouth.

The specifics have yet to be told to Colin.

She decided to move on to another topic instead.

“Do you have any other plans after breaking up with us?”

Colin couldn’t answer Kayla’s question easily.

The wounds of losing her family have not yet healed.

But her time did not wait for her.

She was forced into a situation where she had to take responsibility for her life.

But Colin wasn’t without thoughts either.

“Actually, I was thinking of working for a client.”

Although it is a small town, Colin took himself as the commissioner.

My experience with the receptionist was inexperienced.

More than anything else, it was also the job she dreamed of.

“Is that so?”

Kayla nodded and smiled.

She expected Colin’s answer.

If any other answers were given, she was going to offer to work for the agency.

“Then, how about heading to the capital with us?”

“Yes?”

“I’d rather work in the capital than in a small town like this.”

Most villages had one requesting office.

Of course, the most prosperous request office was in the capital city.

Colin wasn’t unaware of that either.

She actually dreamed of becoming a receptionist in the capital.

She had another reason for her hesitation.

“In the first place, the capital has no ties.”

“We can help.”

Colin’s eyes filled with anticipation at Kayla’s words.

Her No matter how close I became to her, this was a different matter.

Even if I went to the capital right away, I couldn’t become a receptionist right away.

I had to start with the living quarters and prepare the basics.

In that situation, Kayla offered to help Colin.

“Really…?”

“The choice is yours, Colin.”

At least it wasn’t empty talk. It didn’t even seem like he was lying.

She wondered why she was so nice to her.

No matter how naive Colleen was, she was not blind to reason.

“How can I…?”

“I don’t want anything. I just want you to live a normal life.”

There was a reason for Kayla’s proposal to Colin.

First of all, it was also atonement for her personal past.

Her village was taken down by her own allies.

At least indirectly, she was the cause.

By helping Colin, I wanted to rid her of her sin a little.

Of course, it wasn’t just emotional reasons.

Her party had a bad reputation in the capital.

If there is at least one person you know at the agency that is the center of the rumor, it will be easy to hear various news.

‘It’s good for both Colin and us.’

More than anything, it was most important that she be on the same side.

Kayla knew that she couldn’t defeat Erina alone.

But she had a fatal weakness.

She is a person who lives looking at only one person.

The others didn’t care at all.

The world does not simply return to the logic of power.

She had already been betrayed by her teammates, and Kayla knew that all too well.

The more people who will be on Kayla’s side, the more isolated Erina will become.

Then, if she loses even her trust in Seohyun, she will be left alone.

‘How would you react if you were abandoned by your lord?’

If Erina doesn’t change over time, it wasn’t a story without possibility.

Kayla looked at Colin with her side of the eye.

I was still thinking about her proposal.

She looked at Seohyun favorably.

But that’s it.

I didn’t feel the emotion of love at all.

That’s why Kayla tried to get her Colin to her side.

Surely she will accept her offer.

Just as Kayla was sure, her eyes contained determination.

“I beg you. Take me to the capital.”

With a satisfied smile, Kayla took her hand.

***

“So Colin decided to go to the capital too?”

“I’m sorry…”

Kayla couldn’t lift her head.

She made her stupid mistake, not like her.

She promised me to take Colin to the capital without explaining it properly to me.

What if I decline the offer?

There is no situation as difficult as that.

Even now, Kayla was waiting for my words with a nervous feeling.

She bowed her head in a voice that lost her confidence.

“Still, if Colin goes with you, it will definitely help.”

She began to tell Colin why she should go with her.

However, the main thesis was similar.

‘Please help her with her once.’

I was actually hoping for her mercy.

In the first place, Colin was not in a position to return the favor.

Even if you go to the capital, the reality will not be easy.

With no place to live and no acquaintances, it was doubtful whether she would be able to live properly in the capital.

In fact, it meant asking her to help her for free.

Still, I decided to allow it.

“Okay. Let’s go with Colin for now.”

“…Are you okay?”

“Are you asking now when you’ve already guessed everything?”

“That, that’s…”

He was looking at me with a troubled look on his face.

I decided to play around with this.

It would be difficult for me to sincerely believe that I was angry.

Instead, he calmly stroked her hair.

“Good job.”

“Yes?”

“I wanted to help Colin too. I’m glad the story worked out thanks to you.”

Actually, I had a lot of worries. How can I help Colin?

I thought of many things, but I couldn’t come up with a suitable method.

But Kayla stepped in and helped her.

Colin said he accepted her offer, so she couldn’t be happier.

After all, her choice to be with her was not wrong.

“There will be many things to do when we return to the capital.”

I had to receive the reward from the requesting office right away.

I had to buy new equipment with the money I saved and find a new place to live.

In the meantime, I had to look after Colin.

I had a mountain of things to do, but I wasn’t worried.

Rather, I waited for the day to return to the capital.

“Let’s get some rest today. We’ll return to the capital tomorrow.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

The conversation went in a positive direction.

Headed to the capital with Colin and decided to help her until she found a place at her commissioned office.

After the two of us finished talking, we returned to the inn.

Erina stood blankly, leaning against her window.

Colin was sitting in her chair waiting for me with an awkward smile.

‘Looks like they haven’t even spoken to each other yet.’

When I returned, the two stood up.

“Uh, what should I do?”

Colin gave me a worried look.

I was worried that Kayla’s proposal might have been rejected.

He held Colin’s hand with a bright smile.

Like the first time she shook hands with us.

“Let’s go together.”

“Really? Will it be all right?”

“Yes. Don’t worry about money for now. We’ll take care of it.”

Considering the commission fees I’ve earned so far, I didn’t have enough funds right away.

Even now, there were plenty of loot to deliver back to the capital.

I was able to support at least one Colin somehow.

My permission was granted and Colin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

And then she burst into tears.

“Thank you…”

I sobbed in place for a while as if I couldn’t hold back my emotions.

The person who approached her was Kayla.

She gave me a pat on the back and congratulated me that it was a good job.

During that time, Erina just stared at her without saying anything.

It was not the atmosphere to participate at all. Reluctantly, I approached first.

“Erina. This is my decision.”

“Yes. I know. I have no intention of interfering.”

But it doesn’t seem to like it.

I could tell just by looking at his openly rugged expression.

But if it’s my insistence, she will inevitably follow.

First of all, Colin wasn’t even coming to the party.

As a result, Erina seems to have decided to remain indifferent.
