NOVEL WEB Chapter 93 - How to Enjoy Vacation (9)
After dinner, we moved to the haunted spot for the courage test as planned.
Throughout the walk, I felt sorry for Shin Baran, who was trembling, so I hugged her once, and she ended up clinging to me like a koala.
Min Jaeyoon and Nayuri looked at us with wide eyes. What was their problem?
“We’ve arrived!”
Nayuri said with a bright smile.
Shin Baran began to shake even more, almost like she was vibrating.
“I saw it in a cartoon; the courage test is supposed to be done in pairs!”
“That sounds fun~ Hana, let’s go together~”
“Sure.”
I whispered to Shin Baran, who was still in my arms.
“If it’s really too hard, we can go back.”
“Ugh….”
Shin Baran, with a tearful expression, seemed to be deep in thought, and then suddenly clenched her fist and jumped up.
“No! The proud sister of Barun can’t back down! And it’s in pairs…!”
“Baran…!”
Min Jaeyoon clapped, moved by Shin Baran’s dignified demeanor.
I clapped along too. Well done, Shin Baran.
Still, nothing too serious would happen.
If there were really ghosts or monsters, Nayuhan, who was clinging to my side right now, would have said he wanted to go back as soon as he saw that old mansion, the haunted spot.
After all, you can see all sorts of things with insight.
“It’s going to be fine.”
That’s why he’s probably wearing such a confident smile.
I glanced at Min Jaeyoon, who was paired with Shin Baran, proudly stating that he would protect her if she got scared, and then looked at Nayuhan.
Hmm, it would be better to team up with him for the meta points, right?
“Yuhan,”
Just as I was about to speak to Nayuhan, I heard another voice behind me.
“Nahyun! Let’s be on the same team!”
Nayuri was approaching me with a smile full of expectation.
Teaming up with Nayuri isn’t bad.
I guess I’ll have to give up the meta points I could have gained this time.
As I thought that and tried to pull away from Nayuhan, he grabbed my arm. He looked up at me and said,
“…Let’s team up.”
“What did you say?”
It was a cautious yet firm voice.
Upon hearing it, Nayuri came over angrily.
Nayuhan and Nayuri’s eyes met. Neither of them looked away; they began to glare at each other.
Watching this unfold, I felt cold sweat start to form on my back.
“Both of you, stop fighting.”
In that moment, Park Siwoo interrupted.
Park Siwoo! He’s here to help!
I looked at him with great期待.
“Why don’t Nahyun team up with me and the two of you can be on a team together?”
But he started babbling nonsense.
What’s wrong with you? You’re usually perceptive! Get it together, man!
As soon as Park Siwoo made that absurd suggestion, Nayuri and Nayuhan shot him a glare.
“What?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Since you’re siblings, it might be a good opportunity for you two to get closer by teaming up.”
Park Siwoo was now going beyond nonsense and into utter ridiculousness.
The fight was turning into a three-way battle, and I wanted to just lose my mind.
Just as I was about to say I’d rather go in alone, a real hand of salvation came down.
“Nyahhaha! This is fun! Nahyun is quite the popular one~”
It was Choi Sujeong.
She seemed to be enjoying this mess to the fullest.
I felt resentful towards her for letting things get to this point, but that resentment disappeared with her next words.
“But we shouldn’t drag this out too long~ So let’s decide with a drawing. Whoever picks the paper with ‘winner’ written on it will go with Nahyun!”
Senior, you are my savior.
Thus, the hellish three-way battle came to an end.
“Ugh…!”
“…….”
“…Okay!”
The winner was Nayuhan.
But why am I being treated like a prize?
I had a late realization, but in the end, the dispute was resolved smoothly, so who cares?
After the commotion, the teams and their order of entry were decided as follows:
Team 1: Minjaeyoon and Shinbaran.
Team 2: Lee Hana and Choi Sujeong.
Team 3: Me and Nayuhan.
Team 4: Nayuri and Park Siwoo.
“Is this your, your, your first time?”
“I’ll protect you, don’t worry!”
…Shinbaran is the first one up?
I was a bit concerned, but the order was decided by drawing lots, so I couldn’t change it.
More importantly, Shinbaran, why are you armed?
I wanted to tease her about her appearance, but seeing her trembling like that, I thought it might be a good thing if having a weapon gave her some comfort, so I let it go.
However, looking at the eerie mansion made me a little tense too.
“Is it going to be okay…?”
“It’ll be fine!”
“Nyahhaha. But will it really~?”
Nayuri confidently answered, but unfortunately, Choi Sujeong’s ominous prophecy became a reality.
“Ahhh—!!!”
“Baran—!!!”
Boom—!
Once again, Shinbaran shot a glowing arrow that pierced through a corner of the old mansion and disappeared into the distant sky like a star. This was exactly the tenth time.
Seeing that, Lee Hana murmured quietly.
“…I’m glad Yuri bought this place.”
I silently agreed with her words.
By the time it was our turn, I was more worried about whether the mansion would still be intact.
And after much longer than expected, Team 1 returned looking ragged.
“Phew, phew, haha… I did it, I really did it…!”
“…It was tough….”
Considering that there were actually no dangers inside the mansion, the real culprit who had made them look like that was themselves.
Anyway, after a long time, I applauded Team 1 for successfully completing their rounds of the mansion.
Good job, good job.
“Nyahhaha! Next is us~”
“Yeah. Let’s go.”
Choi Sujeong, who had been itching with excitement, immediately pulled Lee Hana in as soon as Team 1 came out and dashed into the mansion.
Even after quite a while had passed since Sujeong went in, the mansion remained eerily quiet.
Earlier, she had left a last comment saying, “Look forward to it!” What on earth was I supposed to look forward to?
While I pondered what mischief my playful senior might be plotting, I decided to check the parts I hadn’t verified lately and the reader reactions.
It probably wouldn’t be a big deal. In fact, I was more worried about the reactions from my late-night conversation with the con artist yesterday than Sujeong’s mischief.
I took a deep breath and opened the meta system.
[Metapoints: 31,500] ……The points were insane.
A sense of foreboding ran down my spine.
Huh, I feel like I’ve experienced this scene before. Is this déjà vu?
I calmly calculated.
I had collected points while sticking close to Nayuhan for a few weeks before the vacation, but the last time I checked my points, it was around 6,500….
Uh, um.
Huh?
Nayuhan, noticing my strange expression as I silently held my head, spoke up.
“Nahyun, what’s wrong?”
“No, I just have something to think about! It’s nothing!”
I brushed off his worried words with a laugh and rubbed my eyes to look at the system window again.
This is insane…
What’s happening? What on earth is going on?
If I were to cautiously speculate… could it be because I revealed that I’m a reincarnator?
I quickly skimmed through the appearance parts and reader reactions.
[Chapter 92 Appearance Part] 085
“Hey, Yuhan. Do you know what reincarnation is? It’s being born again with the memories of your past life. It’s harder than I thought.”
As soon as I heard Nahyun’s words, I doubted my ears.
What did Nahyun just say?
Reincarnation?

What? What???
profile
A reincarnator? No way;;;
profile
So that’s why you used strange powers during the tournament?
profile
Hahaha, that’s hilarious
The reactions to this part were explosive.
This must be one of the reasons the metapoints increased.
However, the comments exploded even more in another section.
I held back a sigh and looked down at the remaining appearance parts.

“So, I’ll say this instead.”
Nahyun looked at me with gentle eyes and smiled warmly.
Under that kind gaze, I involuntarily held my breath and stared into her eyes, enchanted.
Why are you always, always like this,
“I’m really glad you’re here.”
So,
“Please continue to live in this world.”
Are you being kind to me?
Eventually, Nahyun gently patted and hugged me.
It was only at that moment that I realized the feelings that had been deep within my heart.
I was lonely.
So, I needed someone to be my ally.
“Can… can someone like me really hear those words?”
“Of course. Congratulations on being born into this world, Nayuhan. I’ll always be on your side.”
You have no idea how miraculous you feel to me.
Thank you.
Muttering those words in my heart, I pulled Nahyun into an embrace.
For some reason, the tears wouldn’t stop.
