Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 45

Upon hearing of my departure, Yeom Juwan stood up.

“I’ll just walk Sora back and come right back.”

“Hey, Yeom Juwan! What about your game?”

“I’m passing this round.”

“You’re quitting here?”

To cleanly shake off that insanely addictive game without hesitation…

I quit because I have a reward waiting, but our Juwan ended the game through pure willpower.

My baby, as expected you’re amazing!

After leaving the game room, we walked through the empty, deserted hallway.

Yeom Juwan examined my face and asked carefully.

“Are you okay now about the nightmare?”

“Yeah, thanks to everyone playing with me so enthusiastically, I’ve completely forgotten it.”

“That’s a relief.”

Relief overflowed from Juwan’s smile.

He wasn’t just asking out of courtesy—he’d genuinely been worried about me all day long.

My baby, being so kind, how will you survive in this harsh world!

“Sora, can I ask you something?”

“What?”

“It’s just…”

The corners of Yeom Juwan’s eyes suddenly drooped downward.

His shoulders also sagged—like a puppy whose snack got stolen.

“You said you felt reassured going around with everyone together. I was wondering… if maybe you can’t trust just going around with me alone… I mean, that thought did cross my mind…”

I see.

The six-person glued-together system made my baby anxious.

There was already a dedicated bodyguard named Yeom Juwan, yet I’d suddenly called in a bunch of additional security.

“It’s absolutely not because I can’t trust you! The more friends the better, right? Plus, going around together like this will reduce the burden on you too.”

“I know I’m over-interpreting… It’s just, we promised to tell each other everything without hiding anything from now on, right? That’s why I’m telling you—I don’t want misunderstandings to pile up.”

He’s embarrassingly wiggling his pinky finger while scratching his nose.

What am I to do with this adorable creature!

Is it even possible for a K-high schooler to be this pure!

Just as I was about to cover my mouth and enter full internal gushing phase, Yeom Juwan’s persimmon-colored eyes fixed on me.

“Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

“Like what?”

“Is something going on with you and Gyeon Junhwi?”

My heart sank for a moment.

“You kept looking at Gyeon Junhwi all day. Earlier at the vending machine, it looked like you two were talking for quite a while.”

“We didn’t talk about much. He just… asked what dream I had, and we talked about that a little. That’s all.”

“You’re really not hiding anything?”

“Yeah.”

Aside from matters related to world destruction and maintaining possessor secrecy, I’m really not hiding anything.

But why does my conscience prick?

“As long as nothing’s wrong. Hurry and go rest.”

Yeom Juwan flashed a smile bursting with juice droplets, then left.

From now on, I needed to be more aware that Juwan would always be watching me.

* * *

After returning to my room, I washed myself thoroughly, then summoned the translucent window with a reverent heart.

【Viewing intimacy with characters.】

▷ Yeom Juwan (Lvl. 99, Intimacy 99%)

▷ Gyeon Junhwi (Lvl. 99, Intimacy -15%)(⇧2%)

▷ Ha Seonwoo (Lvl. 79, Intimacy 35%)

▷ Min Dorim (Lvl. 53, Intimacy 28%)

▷ Ki Hyeonmin (Lvl. 99, Intimacy -87%)

▷ Han Boram (Lvl. 99, Intimacy 96%)

▷ [NEW!] Yoo Seoha (Lvl. 61, Intimacy 82%)

A blessed number appeared in my vision.

‘82%?’

I’d expected a fairly high number since I’d appealed to my unnie who does hidden fangirling by sharing the same interests.

But… it’s 82%! 82%!

|Yoo Seoha| Sora, did you get back safely?

As if through telepathy, a DM arrived.

|Yoo Seoha| We were so busy talking about other things today that I didn’t explain the club. Could you come to the club room again tomorrow?

|Yeon Sora| Of course! What time should I come?

|Yoo Seoha| Anytime after school 🙂

My mood floated up high, but I forcefully popped the excitement and thrill.

When I’ve had a dream about my babies being catastrophically killed, I can’t be giggling around—that wouldn’t make me human.

From today on, I’ve decided to become a possessor devoted to destruction prevention!

Focus!

【Opening Destruction Prevention TO DO List.txt】

——————=

☐ [NEW!] Meet Yoo Seoha as often as possible to hit 90% intimacy and obtain ‘Preview’!

➝ Method: Continue plagiarizing the mastermind’s copyright!

——————=

I entered a new item in the to-do list.

Right, I’m not trying to meet my unnie to irresponsibly fangirl.

Somehow it ended up becoming a case where my hobby and work aligned.

I sold one terrorist incident and hit 82%, so 90% should come quickly, right?

Now that that’s settled, the next thing to do is…

——————=

☐ [NEW!] Expose the subordinate at the monster escape incident.

➝ It’s either No Jitae or Park Rahee! Conduct close surveillance!

➝ Caution: Just find the subordinate and stay quiet!

——————=

The monster escape incident happens this weekend.

‘Incident’ sounds too grand—it’s more like a small event… but Ki Hyeonmin will handle it himself, so I don’t need to step in.

In the original, Gyeon Junhwi just observed this incident too.

‘This time will be a little different, right?’

Due to the butterfly effect, Gyeon Junhwi will probably move.

Because he needs to build recognition for the student council election.

I can roughly guess what he’ll do.

‘I’ll stay quietly crouched in a corner!’

When my babies are working this hard, I can’t interfere!

Just staying quiet is how I help.

If I act rashly and save even one person…

The villainess image I worked so hard to create will shatter, I’ll be busy dealing with butterfly effects, and it’ll be chaos.

Right, I’ll quietly focus on finding the subordinate!

* * *

The next day.

Park Rahee was in the <Alchemy Basics> class I was auditing.

Time to set up a proper trap.

“Rahee, Boram and I are going shopping on Saturday—want to come?”

“You’re going to NAKSA Mall?”

“Yeah.”

“I was actually planning to go there too—perfect timing!”

NAKSA Mall is Yeouido’s only shopping mall.

It’s also the site where the monster escape incident will occur.

“On Friday, Boram and I decided to have a sleepover—how about you come too, Rahee?”

“S-Sora… you remembered! Rahee! Let’s definitely do it! Please! I-I… I’ve really wanted to try something like this!”

Han Boram’s large eyes welled with tears as she clutched Park Rahee’s hand and pleaded desperately.

Anyone who refuses after seeing that face isn’t human. And Park Rahee was human.

“Yeah, sounds good! Should be fun!”

Operation success!

The reason I proposed the sleepover is to conduct 24-hour surveillance on the suspect.

I’ll thoroughly monitor her starting the day before the incident!

“Y-Yeom Juwan can’t come though! W-we decided to do it in Sora’s room!”

Boram, I don’t know why you’re particularly prickly only toward Juwan.

Before it escalated into a fight, I stepped in first.

“Why don’t Juwan, Hyojun, and Jitae have their own sleepover together? If everyone plays Tower Climber all night then goes shopping together the next day, it’d be fun.”

“Should we? I’ll ask.”

I decided to leave surveillance of No Jitae to Juwan.

He doesn’t know the situation, so he won’t catch suspicious behavior… but if No Jitae leaves for a long time, he should notice that much and tell me.

“What are you guys talking about?”

Gyeon Junhwi arrived in the meantime.

My baby has dark circles under his eyes.

Seems like he pulled an all-nighter making preparations and planning strategies.

“W-we’re all having a sleepover Friday night and going to the mall Saturday! J-Junhwi, want to come?”

“Won’t a sleepover be difficult? Four guys sleeping in one room seems uncomfortable…”

“R-really?”

“But the mall sounds fun. What time are you going?”

“Afternoon!”

“Then let’s meet there.”

This is a bit unexpected.

Gyeon Junhwi has a lot to do on the day of the incident.

I naturally assumed he’d go solo, but he basically declared he’d go around with us.

My baby, what kind of plan did you make?

* * *

The <Alchemy Basics> professor was a white-haired elder who looked like the wizard Merlin.

“There’s a prejudice that alchemy is exclusive to crafting-types, but that’s absolutely not true! Alchemy is the field where interdisciplinary research is most actively progressing recently. In the past few years, mental-type majors have entered this field, and new products like Enchantment Potions and Truth Serums are pouring out. If there were a Flame Mage devoted to this field, developing Flame Potions wouldn’t be difficult either, would it?”

The professor winked at me.

Welcoming me with open arms.

But isn’t a Flame Potion just a Molotov cocktail?

“Alchemy, like any other field, requires time investment. Many students immediately give up when things don’t go according to the recipe, but think about it. Swordsmanship requires one or two months of investment until you can properly handle a weapon, right? Alchemy is the same. I hope you all will challenge it with perseverance.”

Maybe because it’s an unpopular subject.

I somehow sensed desperation in the professor’s words.

There’s no need for that though…

I’ll definitely take alchemy classes.

“Today, let’s try making Mana Charging Potions.”

That’s the reason.

What I need to operate my skill copier is mana.

With just mana potions, I’m basically a munchkin.

Right, I’m not following along to alchemy class just because Gyeon Junhwi’s taking it to irresponsibly fangirl.

All of this is for destruction prevention!

“First, let’s look at the recipe.”

Each seat had something like a science lab experiment kit prepared, and a mini hologram displayed the recipe.

There are 42 steps in total.

“Just because you have a recipe doesn’t mean cooking produces the same results, right? Similarly, alchemy can’t be done just by looking at the recipe. Manastones aren’t factory products. They’re byproducts obtained from living organisms, so each manastone has slightly different characteristics. Even beef has different marbling depending on the animal, right? The sense to adjust the recipe reflecting such subtle differences is important. Today, let’s have time to experience that directly.”

After that came immediate practice.

The recipe is seriously complicated.

Put the manastone in ether water with 81% salinity, dissolve while maintaining exactly 61 degrees, then when it reaches the right concentration, add some red salt, add blue leaves, stir in the opposite direction, and it should become purple liquid…

“Why did mine turn into jelly?”

“Mine’s dalgona candy.”

“Why is mine green…”

Our group’s skills were disastrous.

The professor seemed to know exactly what went wrong just by looking at the results.

“You need to watch carefully when bubbles form on the surface. Not ‘bubble-bubble’ but a ‘froth-froth’ level is appropriate.”

“This one has the wrong concentration of ether water.”

“If foreign substances enter during potion production, it causes reverse effects. Precision is more important than anything.”

This is hard…

After five attempts, I finally made a liquid, but it tasted so horrible it was difficult to swallow.

Moreover, when I actually drank it, my mana level dropped by a full 7 points.

“When tasting, I hope you’ll get help from your friends. It’s important to thoroughly record what percentage your stats increased or decreased.”

As soon as the professor finished speaking, Gyeon Junhwi approached.

“Could you help taste this?”

It’s what my baby made, so of course I have to help!

Without hesitation, I took Gyeon Junhwi’s potion and downed it in one shot.

My potion smells foul, but Gyeon Junhwi’s potion has a subtle hint of chocolate fragrance.

How interesting.

Then shall I check the effect?

【Checking ‘Yeon Sora’s’ overall stats.】

▷ Consumable Stats

– Stamina 1/1

– Mana 0/10 (⇩3)

This is strange.

Gyeon Junhwi wouldn’t make a mistake with just a mana potion…

I naturally expected it to increase, but my mana hit rock bottom.

“It dropped…”

“Really? Guess I made a mistake. By what percentage did it drop?”

“I’m not sure, I drank it when I didn’t have much mana. I think it’d be better to check again later?”

“Then can I ask you to help again later? I’m a crafting-type, so alchemy is mandatory for me.”

My baby blinked twice, briefly.

There’s some intent behind this.

I’m extremely curious what it is, but—

Ding-dong-dong—

The class bell rang, so I decided to find out later.

I have to go to the club.

This is also possessor work.

Today I’m hitting 90% intimacy with my unnie!
