I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

“Uh, so… this place is a g-game…?”

At first, I thought it was a joke.

“Pfft! What are you even talking about?!”

I laughed. I had to laugh. But Jin Yu-ha’s expression remained unchanged.

“Uh… are you… serious…?”

I had always thought of it as one of Jin Yu-ha’s usual playful remarks. But seeing the seriousness in his eyes, I realized he truly meant it.

“Oh… so it’s real…?”

Hmm.

“W-wait a second… If I think about it that way, does it make sense? Huh? Is that really true? If I connect the dots, it means he knew everything about us… It actually does seem to fit…?”

Jin Yu-ha began telling the story of Gukbapyi.
From the time he stood up to the kids bullying his younger sibling.
To the past where he faced off against loan sharks, scaring them away.
To the events that happened before he entered the academy.
And finally, why he decided to become a hunter.@@novelbin@@

As memories I had long forgotten started spilling from his mouth, my face burned.

Embarrassment twisted through my entire body.
The fact that Jin Yu-ha knew everything about me.

“And do you know why your nickname is ‘Gukbapyi’?”

“…Why is it Gukbap?”

My voice came out barely above a whisper.

“You weren’t born with overwhelming talent, but you never gave up. No matter how hopeless the situation, your determination never wavered. People started calling you Gukbap because they said you were as dependable as a warm bowl of rice soup.”
