I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

189 – Final Preparation (5)

Jeong Se-yeon is sitting at her desk.

On the desk, various documents were neatly organized, and a laptop, tablet PC, and electric lamp were shining dimly.

I glanced around the office and then quickly turned my gaze towards Jeong Se-yeon.

Jeong Se-yeon also stares at me intently.

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other in person like this?”

Jeong Se-yeon, who sweeps her hair, which is as beautifully colored as autumn leaves, smiles with a rather proud face.

The sight of Jeong Se-yeon smiling with the moonlight gently streaming in through the window was reminiscent of a painting, but for me it was just a bit too indifferent.

Because I hate Jeong Se-yeon.

But he doesn’t express it outwardly.

“Yes, Seyun. How have you been?”

Because Jeong Se-yeon was useful in many ways.

“I was the same as usual.”

Jeong Se-yeon answered with a faint smile, not knowing whether she knew what I was thinking or not.

But judging by the dark circles under her eyes, she must have looked quite pale.

“Take it easy.”

“I want to do that too… … .”

Soon he starts shaking his head with an embarrassed expression as if he has a headache.

“… … I don’t think work is something I’d like to do.”

Jeong Se-yeon sighed after sipping her coffee while grumbling, not really grumbling.

Originally, Jeong Se-yeon was not the type of person who would speak weakly in front of others, but after exchanging business deals for several months, they had built a fairly close relationship, and she was deliberately acting out a weak side to elicit sympathy.

It’s a cliché that’s been around since long time that a woman who usually only shows her strong and flawless side secretly shows her weaknesses by talking weakly.

Jeong Se-yeon would also be well aware of that fact.

“But a guest has arrived, so it would be rude to keep asking for work, so shall we go over to the sofa and talk?”

“Yeah.”

Jeong Se-yeon, who had been secretly reading my facial expressions while pretending not to notice, soon guided me to a table and sofa placed slightly away.

And then he steps towards the single-person refrigerator.

“I have a nice cake. How about it?”

“I’m fine.”

“What would you like to drink, coffee or tea?”

“I’d like coffee, please.”

“Yes. Then please wait a moment.”

Jeong Se-yeon naturally operated the home roasting machine and then suddenly poured dark coffee into a pretty teacup and handed it to me.

I really liked the subtle aroma of coffee lingering in the air.

“It smells good.”

“As you continue to make coffee, your skills have improved quite a bit, right?”

Before I knew it, I took out the strawberry cake and Mont Blanc and placed them on the table.

A combination of bitter coffee and sweet cake.

I like it in many ways.

“then…….”

Jeong Se-yeon, sitting across from me, used a fork to cut a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth. She savored the cake slowly. It looked quite delicious.

“Hmm~ That’s good, after all.”

“I guess you like sweets?”

“I didn’t really like it in the past, but these days, I often get sugar crashes.”

“As expected, the job of clan leader isn’t something just anyone can do.”

… … Jihyun seems to have some free time.

Oh, of course, our clan is a small clan with only 4 members at most.

Also, I dare not compare it to the work of the Sephiroth Clan, since it is not even run properly.

No matter how much the Sephiroth Clan is in turmoil these days, it’s still one of the four major clans and a major corporation, right?

If you think about it that way, it’s not surprising that Jeong Se-yeon, who is only in her early to mid-twenties, is having such a hard time.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Jeong Se-yeon gently shakes her coffee cup and smiles bashfully.

“But what can I do? It’s our clan. I have to work hard.”

“… … .”

Come to think of it, Jeong Se-yeon was very sincere to the Sephiroth Clan even before her return.

He devoted all his energy and passion to his clan, and did not hesitate to spend his youth and time.

There were many evaluations that he was lacking compared to the successors of other representative clans, such as being defeated miserably by the second son of the Sung clan during his time at Hunter Academy, but honestly, Jeong Se-yeon was the person who was best suited to be the clan leader.

Jihyun runs the clan as a hobby, Seoyoon has no intention of leaving Ilseong Group, Hwaryeon’s clan is no different from a group of gangsters, and Yerin has no attachment to the Seong family.

On the other hand, what about Jeong Se-yeon?

Every time I see you, you’re always doing this.

It is not that the work is slow because the abilities you have are lacking, but rather that there are many problems with the current Sephiroth itself.

Moreover, Jeong Se-yeon is younger than me.

You’ve had a hard time at such a young age.

“Oh, right. Seojun.”

“yes.”

“Thank you for the dungeon information you gave me last time. Thanks to you, I was able to find a good secret dungeon.”

“No problem.”

There is no need to be thankful.

After all, it was a dungeon that the Sephiroth Clan would eventually discover.

Rather, I should be more grateful. Thanks to the Sephiroth Clan before the return, I was able to obtain a lot of dungeon information.

“Thank you for always providing good information, Seojun.”

Jeong Se-yeon gently stroked the ends of her hair with a subtle smile.

Jeong Se-yeon was looking at me with a smile that gently tickled a man’s chest and a look of kindness, but I just kept an indifferent expression and poured my coffee.

“You’re really amazing for telling me not only the location of the dungeon, but also the types of monsters and the locations of the traps. Thanks to Seojun, the casualty rate has drastically decreased, right? I wish I didn’t always get hurt like this.”

I chuckled inwardly at her words.

While mentioning that it was fortunate that there were fewer cases of clan members getting hurt, the way he glanced at them from time to time seemed to indirectly demand that he always provide quality information for his clan members.

“Honestly, this is the first time I’ve seen such a high accuracy rate of foresight. Foresight is often wrong, like weather forecasting, but Seojun’s is always right.”

“I was lucky.”

“I don’t think it was luck, but Seojun’s skill. How on earth did you absorb the ability to foresee the future? Or did someone else with the ability help you?”

Jeong Se-yeon is looking at the sky with her upper body slightly tilted.

As I glanced down, I saw my chest shaking downward due to gravity.

Jeong Se-yeon also knows, but she just looks at me with a look of ignorance.

I munched on the cake and drank my coffee. Hmm. It was bitter.

“It’s difficult for me to tell you. It’s a trade secret.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry… … .”

Jeong Se-yeon made an apologetic expression, then quickly leaned back again.

“By the way, Seojun.”

“Yes. Go ahead.”

“How are things going with Jihyun these days?”

“Jihyun… … are you talking about?”

“Oh, was that too personal a question?”

“No, it’s okay.”

I smiled broadly.

“I’m just doing okay.”

“Is that so? That’s good.”

Although Jeong Se-yeon was smiling gently, when I used my telepathy ability to briefly glance at the emotions she was currently feeling, I found out that what she was currently feeling was jealousy and envy.

Although I couldn’t see through her thoughts because we hadn’t made direct physical contact, I could definitely sense the faint, dark emotion that was blooming inside her.

Why does Jeong Se-yeon hate Ji-hyeon so much?

It seems that the fact that I have been compared and devalued since long ago left a deep scar in my heart and became a kind of trauma.

“Looking at it this way, I really envy Jihyun. She has great skills, a good clan, and even a good lover… … .”

Jeong Se-yeon looks at me with deep, mysterious eyes.

“… … When will I get a cool boyfriend like Seojun?”

The way Jeong Se-yeon looked at me with a strange aura all the time and I felt like it was just weird.

But he scratched his cheek with an embarrassed expression, without showing it on the outside.

“If it’s Jeong Se-yeon, you’ll be able to meet a good person.”

“Well, who would like a workaholic like me?”

Oh, I shouldn’t laugh.

To be honest, it’s kind of funny, isn’t it?

Why do you pretend not to know when you know full well that there are a whole row of guys who want to date you?

With qualifications like Jeong Se-yeon’s, she can date as many men as she wants.

Not only that, but you could probably walk on all fours like me too?

From a man’s perspective, even if it’s just Jeong Se-yeon’s government(?), it would be a significant advantage.

“Since we’re on the subject, Se-yeon, aren’t you interested in anyone these days? Oh, or are you already secretly dating someone?”

“Well, I don’t have anyone I’m secretly dating… … but there are people I want to secretly date.”

“Oh, really?”

When I throw out the bait, it bites without hesitation.

“Who is it?”

“Oh, my. It’s a secret, a secret.”

Jeong Se-yeon blushes slightly and smiles secretly.

The way he slowly raises the corners of his eyes is really… … .

‘Have you been taking advantage of your male business partners like this all along?’

You might wonder who would fall for something like this, but even if you pretend not to, the man secretly feels good.

Since ancient times, using beauty tricks has been a very effective strategy.

But I don’t feel very good.

“Well… … Then I think we’ve refreshed the mood enough… … Should we get to the main topic now?”

“Yes, I like it.”

Jeong Se-yeon took a sip of her coffee and nodded.

She also seems curious about the main point.

“The reason I took up Jeong Se-yeon’s time like this… … is to ask you to do some work together.”

“What’s going on?”

“Yes. Should we call it a kind of collaboration request?”

“Collaboration… … .”

Jeong Se-yeon hit the coffee cup with a teaspoon.

“I wonder what on earth Seojun will ask for.”

He smiles faintly and licks his lips.

“If Seojun, who has the ability to predict the future with a very high accuracy rate, is requesting collaboration, then it must be something that is definitely not easy… … .”

“That’s true.”

“… … Would it be okay if I accepted this request as a request from the Shinjeong Clan rather than as an individual, Seojun?”

“Yes. This time, I also got Jihyun’s permission. In fact, in this case, it would have been better for Jihyun to go and tell me in person, but I wanted to tell her myself.”

Jeong Se-yeon straightened her posture with an interested expression.

“Okay, Seojun. So what do you want to say?”

“Before we say that… Seyun-ssi. What do you think will be at the top of the tower?”

“yes?”

“Aren’t you curious? What’s at the top of the tower?”

“Well, I’m curious, but… … .”

I chuckle.

“Then why don’t you go and check it out?”

“Could it be that you mean that?”

“yes.”

I nodded and opened my mouth.

“Don’t you want to conquer the tower together sometime?”
