Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

It wasn't just a simple act of kindness.

Even though I had offered to help because I wanted to support Soup and her family in their difficult situation, there was a reason behind it.

It was good to have more assets.

Of course, among assets, buildings were the best!

Lord of the buildings, even better than the Lord himself!

It was a pleasant surprise to have real estate rolling in.

Of course, there was also the cafe building that Shin Se-hee had given me, but it felt more like an 'operation room', a 'meeting room', or a 'waiting room' rather than a 'home' for rest.

Now that all the work was done, it was honestly a relief to have a place to live in this world.

However, there was one unexpected problem…

-I think I've explained everything you need to know.

The old lady who I had initially mistaken for the landlord turned out to be Lina's personal lawyer. She was once saved by Lina, and even though she had retired from the front lines, she continued to work as Lina's personal lawyer.

Most of the tax burdens and legal issues were shifted to Lina. Honestly, I don't remember the complicated details, but if it weren't for her, this incredible building might have become a white elephant.

-Well, if that's the case, it seems like there's not much for me to do.

-Haha, that's true. Usually, the maintenance cost of such a building is astronomical, but this house is mostly managed by magic, and the energy is supplied by absorbing the surrounding mana. It's only about a fifth of what it would normally be. Ah, but you'll have to cover the building maintenance fee, Jin Yuha-nim.

-Oh, is that so? How much is it?

-Hmm, let me calculate an estimate… it should be about 10 million won per month.

I was shocked.

The maintenance fee for this house, which cost 10 million won per month in rent, was beyond imagination.

What kind of house costs 10million won to maintain?! And if this is only a fifth of the usual amount, that means similar-sized buildings would cost 50 million won per month!

'Can I afford this?'

While I spent my savings, if I continued to improve my skills and level up in the dungeons, it would be manageable. But it still didn't feel like a profitable arrangement.

'What if I share the burden with the Utopia party members…?'

The party members would get to live in a nice house at a low cost, and I could split the maintenance fee.

It would truly be a win-win situation!

That was the initial reason I had called the party members together. Of course, Hyeji or whatever her name was had suddenly interrupted and ruined the mood.

So, it was actually better this way.

"Th, this is… our Yoo-ri received this house…?"

Her mother, who had been calm until now, suddenly lost her composure and gaped. Her father was completely dazed, and Lee Yoo-ri's siblings started running around excitedly.

"Well, it's actually in the form of a loan."

I didn't want to reveal that I was the actual owner, as it felt like I was burdening them with a debt, so I hedged a bit.

Her mother nodded in understanding.

"Ah, that makes sense. No matter how well Yoo-ri did on a single exam, it wouldn't make sense for Velvet Academy to just give her a building like this…"

'Wow, I'm suddenly realizing just how crazy Lina is.'

Even though she had helped with a big issue, it's not something just anyone could do to hand over a building like this.

"You can stay here until Yoo-ri graduates."

"Grad…uation…!? So, four more years?"

"Yes. I've received confirmation on that."

'I can assure you. If you want to continue living here after that, I have no intention of kicking you out.'

Her mother grabbed my hand.

'Isn't that a bit too much…?'

It felt like a Mature Yoo-ri was glaring at me with narrowed eyes.

"Jin… uh, husband?"

"Y-yes?"

"Take good care of our Yoo-ri."

"Huh…?"

Suddenly?

"Yoo-ri has been given this incredible opportunity, and I know it's all thanks to you, Jin… uh, husband. And now we're getting to enjoy this luxury too. Please take good care of our not-so-bright child…"

"Mom!!!"

"I knew from the first moment I saw him that Yoo-ri's taste in men was just like mine…"

"Get in! I'll talk to Jin Yuha later!!!"

"I'm Chan… uh!"

Hmm.

An interesting person.

I awkwardly pulled up the corners of my mouth.

.

.

.

After Lee Yoo-ri's family left to see the floor they would be living on,

'What? Husband?'

Shin Se-hee bit her nails and then let out a hollow laugh.

'Hah, it's so ridiculous!'

Shin Se-hee burned the entire scene into her memory.

Jin Yuha.

The leader of Utopia, the hottest party in town.

He had proven his exceptional swordsmanship, unmatched even among women.

His charisma and leadership commanded the room.

His brilliant mind even made the professor, a genius in theory, break out in a sweat.

His appearance made every other man look like a potato or a sweet potato!

Honestly, no matter which woman stood by his side, she would fall short.

From the beginning of the semester, when Shin Se-hee had failed to bring him under her control, she had acknowledged this fact.

He was a jewel too brilliant to possess alone, so she decided to put him on display in the 'Utopia' exhibition. She would only share him with those he allowed into his heart. This was a surprising concession for someone who knew her intense possessiveness and clingy nature.

She only felt superiority because she shared the secret of being a 'clairvoyant'. Occasionally, very occasionally, quite frequently, the desire to go further had welled up, but she had forcefully suppressed it.

Yes, she had no complaints about their relationship so far.

But recently, Lee Yoo-ri.

That woman was extremely annoying.

'It started with the mid-term evaluation.'

Using the excuse of mana depletion, she shamelessly enjoyed five full days of Jin Yuha's devoted care.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had stayed up all night and fallen asleep from exhaustion, she had audaciously used her arm as a pillow without his consent.

She even boldly and brazenly boasted of her daring behavior in front of us!

If this wasn't a declaration of war, what was?

'And now she's even involving her family… Lee Yoo-ri is a truly scary person.'

No matter how she looked at it, the whole family was shameless beyond measure.

What nonsense!

Two grown adults, with no relationship between them, were going to sleep under the same roof, covered by the same blanket! It was unheard of!

Click—

Shin Se-hee's fingernail snapped between her teeth.

'This can't continue.'

Whoosh…

Shin Se-hee exhaled and walked towards Jin Yuha.

"Jin Yuha."

"Hmm?"

"Chairman Lina has made quite a bold decision."

"Huh? Well, yeah."

Jin Yuha nodded, looking flustered.

'Hmm?'

Shin Se-hee's eyebrows twitched as she read his expression.

'Ah, I see. So that's how it is.'

The corners of Shin Sehee's mouth turned up.

"This isn't a loan, it's a gift? And it's yours personally, Jin Yuha?"

"…"

Jin Yuha's eyes widened in surprise.

'Of course, I know him better than that stubborn woman. How long do you think I've been observing him?'

Shin Se-hee smiled proudly, feeling a sense of superiority.

"But you didn't say anything about Lee Yoo-ri's family out of consideration for them."

"It's a secret?"

"Huh, don't worry about it. But… I'm a little worried."

Shin Se-hee casually put her hand to her cheek and sighed.

"What is it?"

"Well, Chairman Lina said that Utopia Party could use it freely, but if only the two of you, Jin Yuha and Lee Yoo-ri, use it, won't people become suspicious someday?"

"Ah, so—"

Shin Se-hee interrupted Jin Yuha's hasty words and continued.

"And! Considering my family situation, which you know about…"

"Hmm? The Shin?"

"Yes, even though it's vacation time, I'm still staying at the dormitory near the Academy instead of going home."

Ahem!

Shin Se-hee coughed awkwardly because the words she was about to say were embarrassingly ridiculous.

"So, that, if, if you want! I, I could… live here too…"

Shin Se-hee's face turned bright red as she said this, glancing at Jin Yuha.

Jin Yuha's face lit up.

"Really!?"

And he hugged her tightly, genuinely happy.

'Ack!?'

"Thank you! Thank you so much! For agreeing to live with me!"

"Hmm…?"

"I thought you might refuse, but are you really okay with it?"

"Yes, yes!! Of course I am!!!"

"Thank you, Shin Se-hee!!"

'Well… um. I guess it makes himreally, really happy for some reason that I'm living with him?'

Shin Se-hee smiled awkwardly, her laughter seeping out as she rested her head on Jin Yuha's chest.

.

.

.

And so, starting with Shin Se-hee,

The party members started coming one by one, even though I hadn't told them to.

"Ahem! Little Fool! What are your plans for joint training during the vacation period? Shouldn't we do grappling? This place seems to have excellent training facilities…"

Kang Do-hee brought up training as a reason.

"Junior! To confirm my growth during the vacation, I need to be watched closely by a junior like you! If I don't have a junior to keep an eye on me, I'll really become a good-for-nothing noona!!!"

Lim Ga-eul made a very fresh and bizarre threat.

"I, I don't know if it's appropriate for me to say this, but I also feel awkward about going home because of my modeling work… If you give me just one toilet, I'll quietly take pictures there!"

Sophia, you're making a very dangerous statement.

'Why are they all stuttering?'

Anyway.

That's how all the party members ended up living together in one house.

The maintenance fee, which was originally 10 million won, was now divided by six, including me.

1,600,000 won.

Wow, what a sweet deal.
