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

200 – Encounter (5)

“I hated it so much.”

Edeline spoke to herself openly, as if telling everyone to listen, with a wry smile.

Although he spoke with a clear and clean face, he had a gloomy feeling.

I hated it, la… … .

She definitely hates Edeline, just like she said.

Because, when you think about it logically, there is absolutely no reason to think well of her.

But before the regression, it was different.

Although I felt a bit awkward about the inexplicable kindness, I didn’t hate or detest it. I just kept my distance because I couldn’t figure out Edeline’s true intentions.

Well, it might have been a little disappointing from Edelin’s point of view.

He said he was a huge fan and helped me out a lot with various things, but he seemed a bit reluctant.

“You’re just being jealous for no reason, Seojun. A woman’s jealousy is a scary thing, isn’t it?”

Although Edelin had a beautiful smile on her face the whole time and was chatting playfully, you could tell that there was a cold chill in her eyes.

I looked at her face quietly.

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

A gloomy and sinister emotion was swirling in the dark, sinister eyes.

Sadness, anger, joy, jealousy, desire… … .

Countless emotions boiled over like an active volcano, but at the same time, they also cooled down like a cold wave on a winter night.

Why do you look at me and feel such emotions?

I stared at that complex, dark valley of emotions and soon I pressed my forehead as if it was a headache.

“Edeline.”

“Yes, Seojun.”

I took a deep breath and decided to blurt out the topic directly.

“Why are you so obsessed with me?”

“Are you talking about obsession?”

Edelin repeated what I said once and then tilted her head.

“Obsession, obsession, obsession… … ?”

The sight of her head tilting from side to side might have been considered cute by others, but Yerin just bit her lips with a face full of disgust.

It was as if she was saying, ‘She’s just trying to act cute,’ so I couldn’t help but smile bitterly inside.

“Are you curious as to why I’m so obsessed?”

“okay.”

“Well? Why is that?”

Edeline laughs heartily and mutters strange things.

“Why am I so obsessed with Seojun?”

“what?”

He just laughs as if he doesn’t know either.

“I’m joking, Seojun. If I had to explain why… … .”

Edelin paused for a moment.

He closed his eyes tightly as if thinking.

He taps the table with his index finger.

Suddenly I open my eyes.

“Mr. Seojun, have you ever been to the beach?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Edelin’s answer, which was no different from a question and answer, made me frown slightly, but she ignored me and continued talking coolly.

“Isn’t there something you still can’t forget about the sight you saw when you first went to the beach? The vast expanse of sea… … The horizon that met the sky… … It was truly beautiful.”

“… … .”

“Also, when I went to the mountains for the first time in my life, the chirping of birds… … the forest filling my field of vision… … the cold stream water… … it was really great.”

“… … .”

“It was something I had only heard about and seen in pictures.”

Suddenly, Edelin stares into my eyes.

“Seojun, you know, I lived in semi-imprisonment for a long time. I was nothing more than a tool raised by the Sungcheon Church.”

“Edelin… … .”

Charlotte looked at Edeline with a sad face.

The corners of Charlotte’s eyes, which were slowly drooping, spoke volumes about her feelings.

Edelin glanced back once, smiled as if everything was okay, and continued talking.

“I was locked in a cold room. I can still feel the oppressive feeling of the old room.”

He rubs his wrist with a swish.

“The cold, hard room and the view outside the window through the iron bars were everything to me.”

I heard it once.

It’s so cool how Edelin used to be treated.

She was just a tool created by the Sungcheon Church.

“All I did was show up outside occasionally when necessary.”

She is known as the symbol of the Sungcheon Church for her beautiful appearance and mysterious miracles, but in reality she is a tool locked in prison.

“Because I had been receiving education bordering on brainwashing since I was young, it was natural for me to be locked in a small room, pray to God, and live an ascetic life bordering on abuse.”

Suddenly, Edelin smiles brightly.

“but.”

Her brightly smiling face felt beautiful.

“Someone told me.”

anyone?

“The situation I find myself in is by no means normal.”

Who on earth is this person she’s talking about?

“The treatment I receive is by no means ordinary.”

It was such a simple problem that I didn’t even need to think about it.

“And then you took me out into the outside world.”

In the flow of the story, that someone’s identity is probably me.

“Things I had only imagined became reality.”

But something is strange.

“It was a wish and aspiration that I had constantly prayed to God for but never came true.”

There is an obvious contradiction in Edelin’s story.

“That man saved me.”

Because I never saved Edeline.

“It showed me a world I never knew existed.”

That’s understandable, because Edelin was the first to come and cling to me like an ardent fan.

“It was like being a newborn baby, everything was new to me, but it was really fun. I went to the ocean, went to the mountains, ate delicious food with that person… … Looking back now, I think it might have been the happiest time.”

But why does Edelin say this?

“That person was a parent, teacher, and friend who introduced me to a new world.”

I guess the reason is… … .

“You held my hand tightly and led me out into the world… … Then, I think it’s the least you can do to take responsibility. What do you think, Seojun?”

“Edeline, I never saved you.”

“Huh? I guess so. This time. Oh, last time too.”

Edeline rested her chin on her hand with a slightly bitter expression.

“Seojun, you asked me a question last time, right? How many times is this?”

“you?”

“Would you like to try to guess? How many times did you do it?”

“It was real, after all. This is unbelievable.”

I burst out laughing.

I never thought it would be true.

Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that Edelin lied, but considering what Edelin had shown us so far, the probability of it being true was higher.

“This is driving me crazy.”

… … It wasn’t just one regression.

Judging from the way he spoke, it didn’t seem like he had regressed once or twice, but rather quite a few times, but there was no way of knowing how many times he had repeated it.

“What are you two talking about?”

“… … Edelin? What number do you mean?”

Was it then?

Jihyun, who had been watching quietly, and Charlotte, who had been looking at him with half-closed eyes, asked a question.

It seems that Edelin did not reveal that she was a multiple-regressor.

“Oh my? Me too. The conversation has gone off on a tangent.”

Edelin, who clapped her hands, quickly brightened the mood.

“Charlotte, I’ll tell you about that story later. It’s been a while. There are things you have to do first, right?”

Edeline smiled at Charlotte and said, and Charlotte nodded helplessly.

“Me too, I’ll tell you later, Jihyun.”

“Ha. Okay, I get it.”

Jihyun also let it go without much fuss.

“I want to hear it now… … .”

“Please bear with it for now, Yerin.”

Yerin pouts slightly and complains, but Seoyoon tries to calm her down.

“We’ve had a lot of time, so can we get to the main point, Seojun?”

“If anyone heard, they would think it was my fault that they were delayed.”

It’s all because you’re talking nonsense, Edeline.

“I’m sorry. I guess I got a little excited because it’s been a while since I last saw Seojun. I’m also really reckless, aren’t I? I’m telling you all sorts of embarrassing stories.”

“Huh. You know a lot.”

When Yerin suddenly barged in, Jihyun patted Yerin’s head as if telling her to stay still.

Then, Yerin rebelled, saying, “Oh, oh! My hair is messy! Don’t touch it!” and Jihyun pushed her head down even harder, saying, “She’s not even a kid, stay still.”

“Haha. You guys get along well.”

“Does that look good?”

“yes.”

Edelin nodded and smiled without a moment’s hesitation.

And he speaks cruel words.

“You’re not going to rush in and kill me like you used to?”

“… … .”

“When things weren’t going well between us, it never ended with just jokes.”

“… … Is that so?”

I can’t tell if that’s true or false.

“Anyway, back to the main topic, Seojun.”

“why.”

“Do you have anything to say about our tower raid?”

“uh.”

We made a bet, not a bet, to conquer the tower first.

“I’d like to talk about that in more detail. How about that?”

“Okay. I had something to say.”

Now, is this the main point?

Well, I personally wondered how many times Edelin had regressed and why I had taken Edelin out of the Seongcheon Church the first time around, but I thought I would have to put that off for now.
