I Became a Raid Boss

For a clear and faithful translation, here's how the passage would read in English:

For a moment, Kana was taken aback.

But Da-eun quickly wiped the stunned look from her face and replaced it with a mischievous smile.

"Aw, aw. Were you scared, Kana, thinking about being away from me?"

"No."

"Mm-hmm. I get it. I understand how you feel. I’d also like to be with you all day, but... the world doesn’t allow that, huh?"

"I said no."

"But Kana, you need to get used to being alone sometimes. That way, when I have to step away, you won’t feel so uneasy."

"Can’t you hear me?"

Well, yeah.

It would probably feel lonely when she’s not around.

You don’t realize what’s missing until it’s gone, and surely, I’d notice when Da-eun’s constant chatter goes silent.

But, as much as I’d feel lonely, it wasn’t like the "separation anxiety" Da-eun was babbling about.

Absolutely not.

"I know how to be alone."

I’ve been living alone in the mountains for over a year. Now, would I suddenly be afraid to live by myself?

"But I’m worried. What if a stranger knocks on the door while I’m gone? What if you don’t eat properly, or if you get scared and cry when thunder strikes...?"

"You’re not worried, you’re just hoping, aren’t you?"@@novelbin@@

"...Did you catch on?"

Of course, Da-eun didn’t mean what she said seriously.
