Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 129

The tent I purchased consists of one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. A magical tent where you just need to fill the external water tank with water to use the sink and toilet!

The only one dissatisfied with this was Seong Hayul.

“Could’ve at least bought one with a shower.”

“Sold out.”

“True, those are hard to get.”

Seeing her demand something even the wealthy potion heiress herself couldn’t obtain shows how immature she is. Still, I know she means no harm, so I’m not offended.

After washing up in turn and coming out to the living room, Gyeon Junhwi served everyone warm tea.

“It’ll help with sleep. Drink up, we have a lot to do tomorrow.”

“I should drink too?”

“Of course. But set your alarm. You’re on watch in two hours.”

Gyeon Junhwi smiled casually.

|Yeon Sora| I’m sleeping too? What about the plan you mentioned earlier?

|Gyeon Junhwi| You need to get some sleep

|Yeon Sora| Do I really have to forcibly put Ki Hyeonmin to sleep?

|Gyeon Junhwi| I suggested it because we don’t know what might come out of the fairy’s mouth. I’m not forcing you—it’s your choice.

I tried asking via personal DM, but no useful answer came back.

“Girls use the inside room. No chatting tonight—straight to sleep.”

After entering the room, I lay down and began brief deliberation.

‘What should I do?’

I don’t know either.

So I decided to consult Gyeon Junhwi’s famous sayings.

Gyeon Junhwi says: The only things you can trust are the reality before your eyes and numbers!

[Checking intimacy with characters.]

▷ Gyeon Junhwi (Lvl. 99, Intimacy 36%)(⇩6%)

▷ Ki Hyeonmin (Lvl. 99, Intimacy 62%)(⇧17%)

‘The numbers have changed quite a bit.’

Ki Hyeonmin had started trusting me, while Gyeon Junhwi had actually begun distrusting me. The famous fortune-teller captured the fairy exactly as predicted, yet the number dropped.

I don’t know why, and probably won’t figure it out even if I keep pondering. But my course of action going forward is clear.

‘I need to do what Junhwi wants.’

I need to raise that number. To do that, I need to put all team members including Ki Hyeonmin to sleep and bring out the fairy to face it alone with him.

Gyeon Junhwi gave no additional instructions, but the watch rotation order contains everything.

First watch: Ki Hyeonmin.

Second watch: Yeon Sora and Gyeon Junhwi.

Third watch: Yeom Juwan.

Fourth watch: Seong Hayul and Han Boram.

‘Execute the operation during watch handover!’

Having made that decision, I set my alarm and went to sleep.

Beep beep beep—

After the alarm went off and I woke up, Boram stirred beside me and opened her eyes narrowly as I moved.

“S-Sora… going… I, I too…”

This child had been clutching my sleeve even while sleeping, and apparently woke because I moved. She’s normally the type who can never wake up once asleep, but strangely woke quickly today.

“It’s handover time. Boram, you keep sleeping.”

“Right, just sleep.”

Even Seong Hayul woke up.

I had no choice but to channel the Incapacitation skill into my right hand and pet Boram’s head. After that, I made contact with Seong Hayul too and put her to sleep with the Incapacitation skill. Both were lying down, so it wasn’t difficult, but…

‘This is strange.’

Something feels off.

Anyway. After putting two team members to sleep and leaving the room, in the living room area Yeom Juwan and Gyeon Junhwi sat with a single luminous stone flashlight turned on.

‘Great scene!’

A smile naturally appeared on my face. Since I possessed, Gyeon Junhwi and Yeom Juwan two-shots had been somewhat rare.

In the original, Gyeon Junhwi was the only person who could control Yeom Juwan who might explode at any moment, but that relationship dynamic disappeared because Yeon Sora survived.

Satisfied while nodding at this rare two-shot… no, this isn’t the time.

“Juwan, why aren’t you sleeping?”

“First time sleeping outdoors I guess, can’t fall asleep.”

Yeom Juwan’s eyes are excessively bright and alert.

Meaning the sleep-inducing tea Gyeon Junhwi gave earlier had absolutely no effect. I think I know the reason now.

‘My baby’s doing another weird experiment, isn’t he?’

Han Boram, who normally sleeps like the dead once asleep, woke easily today. The tea Gyeon Junhwi handed out might not have been sleep-inducing tea but tea with stimulant components.

Deliberately making it difficult for team members to fall asleep.

Gyeon Junhwi wants to verify whether I’ll use the Incapacitation skill on team members with my own hands. There must be some reason.

‘Anyway, our Junhwi is so complicated, I tell you.’

Still, if my baby wants it, I should do it.

I need to incapacitate Yeom Juwan.

But… I really don’t feel right about forcibly putting Juwan to sleep. If possible, I want to be honest with him, without tricks.

“Juwan, want me to use my skill on you if you want to sleep? According to Professor Joo, this has a deep sleep effect.”

“Mm, but to wake up you need to use Resurrection Potion, right? It’s fine, seems wasteful to waste expensive potion.”

If he’d just obediently go along it would be nice, but Juwan’s kind nature became an obstacle again. Then there’s no choice.

‘I’ll have to use it secretly.’

I spread the magic wrapping cloth I wore like a belt around my waist, then looked for something suitable inside. Just then, I spotted the gummy bears I’d purchased for snacks and pulled them out to offer to Juwan.

“Try this. A club senior gave me sleep gummies, said they’re super effective.”

“Really?”

Juwan obediently ate the gummy, and meanwhile I rubbed Juwan’s sleeping bag pillow thoroughly.

“Apparently you don’t notice the effect when eating, but the moment you lie down and close your eyes you fall right asleep.”

“Mm, really? The effect is just…”

The moment Juwan rested his head on the pillow, he immediately fell into deep sleep.

Hehe, Yeom Juwan cleared!

Celebrating victory while raising my head, Junhwi was staring at me intently.

“……”

“What?”

“No, that gummy. The medicinal effect is incredibly good.”

As expected, Gyeon Junhwi wasn’t fooled.

Actually, the gummy bear was a fake! I’d placed the Incapacitation skill in the pillow. But our innocent Juwan will surely believe it was the gummy’s effect.

‘Though I did it because you asked…’

Gyeon Junhwi caught me using the Incapacitation skill on Yeom Juwan, my closest friend. I worried this might pointlessly lower my score, so I checked…

[Checking intimacy with characters.]

▷ Gyeon Junhwi (Lvl. 99, Intimacy 38%)(⇧2%)

The score actually went up?

Thanks to that, I could understand what kind of experiment Gyeon Junhwi was trying to conduct.

‘It’s a loyalty test, isn’t it?’

He seems to be verifying whether I’ll follow Junhwi’s words even while personally handling team members.

Now there’s one team member left!

If I put Ki Hyeonmin to sleep, I can prove my loyalty!

* * *

Outside the tent, a small bonfire was lit. Seems Ki Hyeonmin made a new one while we were inside.

Before the bonfire, Ki Hyeonmin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He appeared to be conducting mana training.

Sensing our presence, Ki Hyeonmin opened his eyes.

“Handover time?”

“Yeah, we’ll take the next two hours, so Ki Hyeonmin, you go in and sleep.”

“No need. I’ll stay too.”

As expected, he’s refusing sleep.

“Then we’re grateful. You even lit a fire?”

Gyeon Junhwi casually settled beside Ki Hyeonmin, warming his hands by the bonfire. But his gaze was looking at me.

‘This is the final test!’

I can’t use the gummy bear strategy on Ki Hyeonmin.

Since he’s refusing sleep himself.

I also can’t approach and secretly use the skill like with Boram. Ki Hyeonmin’s presence detection is world-class, and Yeon Sora’s agility is pitiful.

‘Physical confrontation is impossible.’

I need a situation where Ki Hyeonmin voluntarily gets hit by my skill, and I provide an appropriate excuse for it. Fortunately, this is possible.

Fwip fwip!

I spread my magic wrapping cloth wide, then draped it over my shoulders like a cape. Toward Hyeonmin who was looking at me strangely, I smiled slightly while explaining.

“A bit cold. This is surprisingly warm.”

“……”

“But when did you make the bonfire?”

I crouched down before the bonfire Ki Hyeonmin had made. Then Ki Hyeonmin’s eyes began trembling slightly.

“Dangerous. Get away from there.”

“What’s dangerous? No matter how poor my reflexes are, there’s no way I’d fall into a fire like this… Ahhh!”

I deliberately face-dived toward the bonfire while squeezing my eyes shut. If I fail here, I’ll get burns on my face, but I trust my baby.

Ki Hyeonmin will never let a person get hurt.

Whoosh—

My body moved away from the heat source, and Ki Hyeonmin who caught me collapsed with a thud.

Because to save me, he touched my magic wrapping cloth.

‘Got it!’

I’d placed the Incapacitation skill on this magic wrapping cloth for theft prevention. Tomorrow when Hyeonmin wakes, I’ll tell him the truth as it is. If by any chance he suspects me, Seong Hayul will testify. That Yeon Sora had this skill placed from the morning.

This is an unfortunate accident!

Since it came to this anyway, I can excuse it by saying I didn’t wake him so he could rest deeply.

‘As expected, I’m pretty good at this kind of quick thinking, aren’t I?’

After pouring out self-praise inwardly, I turned around to find Gyeon Junhwi silently blinking without saying anything.

“……”

“Junhwi?”

“Ah, let’s move Ki Hyeonmin inside first.”

I was curious about the reason for the brief pause midway, but he won’t tell me even if I ask.

But I have numbers!

[Checking intimacy with characters.]

▷ Gyeon Junhwi (Lvl. 99, Intimacy 42%)(⇧4%)

I thought putting Ki Hyeonmin to sleep would make it rise significantly, but that’s not the case.

Well, that’s not what’s important.

I passed all the loyalty tests and did as Junhwi instructed.

Now there’s important business ahead.

“Should we bring out the fairy now?”

* * *

Gyeon Junhwi carried Yeom Juwan and Ki Hyeonmin to lay them in the bedroom inside the tent, and I stood with my mouth hanging wide open appreciating the sight.

‘Wow! What a scene!’

Though I feel really bad about this timing, this precious scene of my pretty baby carrying other pretty babies of mine. Such service scenes strike a fan’s heart, I tell you.

Could linger more leisurely, but Gyeon Junhwi moved too quickly.

After moving the unconscious people, he set up some kind of device outside the tent to prepare for monster intrusion. After doing this and that, he finally sat with me in the living room.

“Should I bring out the fairy now?”

“Yeah.”

“Talk alone? Should I step out?”

“No. Let’s talk together here. That fairy will probably only answer your questions. I’ll send questions via personal DM, so just ask as is.”

Is it because I proved my loyalty?

He’s letting me participate in the conversation with the fairy.

For Gyeon Junhwi, who has exceptional possessiveness over information, to make such a decision!

Creak—

I hurriedly opened the wrapping cloth and pulled out the birdcage from inside.

The fairy was sprawled flat on the cage floor, asleep. Earlier she was just dressed like Tinkerbell, but now she wore a voluminous sky-blue princess dress.

Sensing my gaze, the fairy quickly rubbed her eyes and got up. And the moment she saw my face, she shrieked and jumped.

“Eeeek!”

“You liked that outfit? Boram will be happy to see it.”

“D-don’t get strange ideas! I wore it because I was cold! Don’t need it! This thing!”

The fairy raised her voice a few more times, then plopped down on the cage floor with her arms crossed.

She’s noisy, but there’s no hostility like before. Having spent hours alone in darkness thinking, she seems to have calmed down.

But she’s glaring at me with suspicious eyes.

“You woke me up? How?”

“If you’re curious, answer my questions too.”

“What?”

“Let’s do give and take, exchanging one question each.”

“……”

The fairy surprisingly nodded obediently.

And I voiced the first question Gyeon Junhwi sent via personal DM.

I’m secretly nervous since we’re about to reveal secrets of this worldview.

“You killed quite a few humans during your active fairy days, right? Do you want to kill humanity?”

“I dislike humans. But I don’t particularly want to kill humanity. I just follow the Tower’s will.”

“What’s the Tower’s will?”

“We said one question at a time, right? My turn. How did you wake me?”

“Don’t know. I just felt you appearing in my dream, and when I felt mana I drew the magic circle as it was and you appeared.”

“……”

The first question exchange proceeded smoothly.

The fairy rested her chin on her hand with a serious face, then suddenly stood up abruptly and gripped the cage tightly.

“Wait, can I see your hand?”

“Answer the question first. What’s the Tower’s will?”

“I don’t know either. It’s information my rank can’t access. I just do as I’m told.”

I nodded after hearing that answer, but Gyeon Junhwi seemed puzzled.

“How can you not know that?”

“How am I supposed to know everything my superiors do?”

Seems our Junhwi has never experienced being a nobody, hence this reaction.

As a former call center employee, I can guarantee this. I also followed the given manual well and diligently served customers, but never asked about the company’s vision or anything.

This is the difference between nobodies and protagonists!

“I answered, so hand.”

The fairy boldly demanded skinship with me, and Gyeon Junhwi’s eyes were telling me to do as instructed.

I extended my finger.

The fairy stretched out both tiny hands to place them on my finger, then flinched.

Her large eyes were staring at me.

“You… what’s your identity?”
