Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years

When Adria first opened her eyes, only one thought came to mind.

‘I’m doomed.’

Then, when she turned her gaze to Elena, who was sleeping soundly, and at the same time looked at Kim Hyunwoo, no words came to mind.

Instead, a tide of shame and embarrassment washed over her, and she could only bury her face into the pillow with her eyes tightly shut, but soon she managed to collect herself and look at Kim Hyunwoo.

She couldn’t ignore the fact that their eyes had met.

“Hello?”

Thus, as Adria spoke, she felt an overwhelming urge to hit herself on the head.

Even if she greeted them with a fresh face as if nothing had happened yesterday, it wouldn’t erase what had occurred.

‘How did things end up like this…?’

Outwardly, Adria was smiling, but inside, she felt like crying. To add to the absurdity, she hadn’t slept for days, having been tormented by Rhien, and now, caught in a web of complex thoughts, she recalled yesterday, wondering if she was unhappy or happy at feeling so refreshed.

Clearly, Adria’s goal yesterday was not this.

Originally, her objective was to feed Kim Hyunwoo the Shayu spring water and then immediately use the teleport scroll she had to send him to Rhien.

Of course, Adria knew how much resentment and disrespect such an act could incur by proceeding without the other party’s consent.

As a merchant, one must be aware of the etiquette, even if they are not a noble.

Moreover, one must be attuned to human psychology.

In other words, she was aware that if she sent Kim Hyunwoo away in such a manner, there was a risk of incurring his ire.

However, despite fully recognizing all those risks, the reason she felt compelled to act was solely because of Rhien.

That’s right.

Since returning to Lartania, Adria hadn’t slept at all thanks to Rhien…!

Because of that, Adria had ultimately chosen to make an extreme decision to escape that crisis.

However, unfortunately, because the date of Elena’s execution coincided exactly, she ended up feeding Elena the Shayu Spring Water meant for Kim Hyunwoo.

Having consumed the Shayu Spring Water, Elena then overwhelmed Adria.

…In fact, if it were just an overwhelming moment, there was a way to handle it.

In reality, even though Adria lacked strength, Rhien, who was mentally connected to her, could have easily separated them.

However, unfortunately, at the moment Rhien was about to intervene to separate Elena, she ended up feeding the Shayu Spring Water lying on the ground to Adria.

That was the end of it.

The contract with Rhien was a spell that would break quickly if the mind became unstable, so from the moment Adria drank the Spring Water, Rhien could no longer interfere, leading to the current situation.

‘…Ugh—’

Adria clenched her eyes shut and glanced at Elena, who was blissfully unaware of everything.

Elena was sleeping very soundly, her face serene.

‘Why did she have to feed me the Spring Water…!’

A sense of resentment began to bubble up within Adria, but she exhaled a deep sigh.

Ironically, Adria, who had been forcibly injected with the Spring Water, was also in the position of having fed it to Elena.

Thus.

“……”

Kim Hyunwoo and Adria could only exchange awkward glances until Elena awoke.

---

Before long, after hearing the situation from Adria, Kim Hyunwoo wore a bewildered expression.

“…So that’s how it turned out.”

“I’m sorry.”

“……”

Kim Hyunwoo sincerely pondered how to respond.

In fact, it would have been appropriate to be angry in this situation.

However, knowing what kind of personality Rhien had, it was not easy to be mad at Adria.

Moreover, even if it was an accident, they had shared a night together.

“Um…”

Thus, while contemplating, Kim Hyunwoo attempted to suggest that they treat this as an accident, but he soon realized that would sound even worse and kept silent.

At that moment, Elena, who had been blushing without saying a single word except for a soft “Ah”, seemed to make a decision and spoke.

“I, I didn’t mind the three of us.”

“……”

At Elena’s words, which would provoke thoughts of ‘What do you mean, Elena?’ from Kim Hyunwoo, he stared at her blankly.

“…I think it would have been better if it was just you and me, Lord.”

“……”

Then, there was silence.

After waiting for about 30 seconds without any further words from Elena, Kim Hyunwoo thought about what she wanted to convey, and soon he collected his thoughts to speak.

“First of all…what happened yesterday was clearly an accident, so…”

“I’m not an accident.”

“…I see.”

“Yes.”

Kim Hyunwoo thought briefly that there was no need for her to appeal so much, and then he spoke.

“…So, to be clear, Adria, it was an accident… What do you want to do about it?”

“Well…”

Quickly picking up on Kim Hyunwoo’s words, Adria wore a complicated expression and seemed to contemplate before speaking.

“…Can I think about it a bit?”

“Take your time.”

Kim Hyunwoo allowed Adria to take her time, then turned his gaze to Elena.

And then.

“I like you.”

“…Huh?”

“I like you.”

In an instant, Kim Hyunwoo wore a dazed expression at Elena, who spoke as if she were a different person from the shy girl moments ago.

“…I’m embarrassed too, but if I don’t say it directly, you won’t understand, Lord.”

Before he could voice his thoughts that she should have known at least to some degree, Elena spoke.

“Didn’t you enjoy yesterday?”

“…Huh? Yesterday?”

“Yes.”

“…It was nice.”

“If you choose me, every night can be even better. I’m trying hard, you know—”

For a moment, Kim Hyunwoo was lost in thought about what she was trying hard at when he looked at her with a perplexed expression.

“Choose? What do you mean?”

“The Proposal Ring.”

As if knowing that being shy in this situation was pointless, Elena confidently got to the point.

At that, Kim Hyunwoo, who had been blank-faced, responded.

“…Come to think of it.”

He recalled the existence of the Ring, which he had kept in his drawer and completely forgotten about.

“Since the deadline is slowly approaching, I guess I need to use it soon…”

With that thought, Kim Hyunwoo realized.

“…Hmm?”

He began to comprehend how the situation was unfolding.

---

A little later.

“I’m sorry.”

After leaving Kim Hyunwoo’s office with Elena, Adria sighed deeply and lowered her head.

Of course, she would soon be tormented by Rhien’s screams, but that was her problem; it didn’t erase what she had done to Elena.

“It’s okay. No, I actually feel a bit more grateful for this.”

Elena replied to Adria’s words.

“Yes…?”

At Elena’s response, Adria asked with a bewildered expression.

“Honestly, I was determined to come, but I didn’t know how to talk to you, Merchant Leader. While this may not have been the best way to approach it, at least I expressed my feelings.”

“I see.”

“And, it felt nice being the two of us.”

“…Huh? Yes??”

“I was a bit worried since it was my first time, but since we were together, I thought I’d feel quite satisfied.”

“Ah, you meant it in that way.”

“Of course, it was nice just with the two of us.”

“Eh?… Yes?”

Adria asked with a bewildered expression.

However, Elena did not respond to her.

Instead.

“Then, I’ll be going.”

With a relaxed smile that seemed to suggest relief, she slightly nodded to Adria and began to move to accomplish what she had to do today.

Standing in front of Kim Hyunwoo’s office, Adria didn’t notice.

That her cheeks had flushed slightly.

---

After that day.

Elena and Adria returned to their daily routines as if nothing had happened.

They didn’t mention the events of that night to anyone.

However, regrettably, the conversation about the Proposal Ring exchanged between Kim Hyunwoo and Elena that morning had already begun to spread through the servants.

As a result, the heroes of Lartania began to keep a close watch on every move Kim Hyunwoo made.

Among those heroes who were on high alert, they were divided into two groups.

One group was those who had already been intimate with Kim Hyunwoo, while the other group had not.

Those who had been intimate were also sensitive to the situation, but they felt much more relaxed than those who had not.

The group that had not been intimate was currently in a very anxious state.

Among them.

‘If I don’t want to be left behind… I have no choice but to do that…!’

The Hero King began to devise a plan with a very anxious expression.
