#97: Under One Roof With Moon Bora (3) — Starborn Cheat Character

“Stay over.”

Yu Seha’s firm words echoed through.

Moon Bora stared at him blankly.
At first, she tilted her head, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

Then, as she realized the true meaning, her eyes widened.

“Wh-What… what?”
“I said, stay over. Can’t you understand?”

Moon Bora’s mouth gaped open.

Wh-What is this guy saying right now?!

If she were the old Moon Bora, she would have said, “Are you crazy?” but the person in front of her was none other than Yu Seha.

Since they had been together for a while, she could guess that he didn’t mean it that way.

If he were that kind of guy, he would have shown his true colors when her clothes melted away.

…Still, just in case, she decided to ask.

“Uh, um…”
“Yeah?”
“Y-you don’t… mean… that… right?”

Moon Bora subtly clutched at her chest.
Her eyes spun as cold sweat trickled down her chin.

Listening to Moon Bora’s creeping words, Yu Seha clicked his tongue in disbelief.

What does this girl take me for?

“Ah, no… ah, even so, there’s the principle that men and women should not sit together after the age of seven… A-a grown man and woman being together like this is a bit… especially in such a small room… with only one bed–”

Seeing Moon Bora’s rambling, Yu Seha sighed.

It seemed like there would be no end to this.

In a flash, he grabbed her waist and legs and lifted her into a princess carry.

‘As expected, she’s light.’

In this way, she truly is a fascinating woman.
Despite certain features being prominently developed, she was as light as a feather.

Just like Ju Na-young, it seemed she needed to eat more.

“Y-Yu Seha?!”
“Stay still.”

Before she could spout more nonsense, she was thrown onto the bed and wrapped up in a blanket like a kimbap.

“Uh, huh?”
“You brushed your teeth, right?”
“Uh, I brushed them when I showered… all done…”
“Then that’s settled.”

Having finished speaking, Yu Seha put all the remaining equipment in the corner.

He decided to finish the rest of the distribution tomorrow and immediately turned off the room’s light.

Moon Bora, who was watching, felt her heart start to pound.

N-No way!
R-Really?!

‘S-Sleeping together…?’

There’s only one bed.

Is he going to get in and sleep next to me?

O-Of course, since it’s Yu Seha…

He wouldn’t touch or anything like that…

‘N-No…’

That’s something she can’t be sure of.

A-After all, he’s also a man in his prime.

And, embarrassing as it was to admit, she herself possessed enough beauty to harbor certain thoughts.

‘Wh-What should I do?!’

In her entire life…
She had never…
Had any experience with a man…

While Moon Bora was lost in all sorts of delusions for a short time, Yu Seha was laying out a sleeping bag on the floor.

“Then, sleep well. Bora Bora.”
“Wha– eh?”

He said it on his own and immediately went inside, falling into a deep sleep.

“……”

One minute later.

Moon Bora, left dazed on the bed, wrapped up like a kimbap, carefully unwrapped the blanket that was wrapped around her body.

Then she glanced down slightly.

“…Snore…“
“Ha…”

The one who had stormed through like a typhoon was now peacefully asleep with a very relaxed face.

Already, the sound of his gentle breathing was audible…

It was doubtful whether he had trained himself to sleep in any environment.

“…Hmm.”

Moon Bora sighed, calming the subtle feelings stirring in her chest.

Come to think of it, this wasn’t any different from that time.

‘Always imagining things…’

Always thinking…
Always expecting…
She really lacked learning ability.

“…Glance?”

She looked down again.
Perfect timing or what…

Yu Seha murmured something in his sleep and tossed the blanket aside.

His upper body was revealed.

The sight of his exposed skin made Moon Bora’s cheeks flush.

‘Get a grip, Moon Bora!’

The other person had no such intentions at all.

Why was she even thinking such things?

Finally, calming herself down, Moon Bora was just about to fall asleep.

‘…Huh?’

She felt something foreign in her pocket.

It was a handkerchief with some sweat and faint bloodstains.

‘Ah…’

She finally remembered.

The handkerchief Ju Na-young gave.

Yu Seha had handed it to her to hold onto.

She forgot to return it because there was no opportunity.

‘……’

Silently staring at the handkerchief, Moon Bora felt a strange emotion.

‘I really didn’t want to return it…’

She had deliberately stuffed it deep into her pocket with the excuse of washing it first…

But now, she felt no lingering attachment.

‘…The reason is…’

It must be because of this beautiful necklace she was wearing around her neck.

Moon Bora caressed the necklace, which emitted a faint blue light.

She put the handkerchief back into her pocket.

‘I should wash it and return it tomorrow.’

A moment later.

Perhaps due to fatigue, she soon fell asleep.
Even so, Moon Bora tightly clutched the necklace in her hand without taking it off.

The next morning.

I automatically woke up and glanced at the clock beside me.

Taking a small breath, I saw it was 6 AM.

‘…Ugh.’

Even though I tried to sleep in a bit longer, it wasn’t easy.
Was there some kind of alarm in my head? My eyes automatically opened at this hour.

As I stretched out and turned my head, an unusual(?) scene unfolded.

“Uhehe…”

Moon Bora on the bed.
She had kicked off the blanket with both legs and was drooling and grinning.

It was indeed a rare and unusual sight.

“…This is something.”

Character-wise, Moon Bora was known to have bad sleeping habits.
I knew it was part of her character settings, but seeing it with my own eyes made it oddly funny.

A character who was always thorough and kept her guard up was so relaxed like this…

It was incredibly cute.

‘…Should I make breakfast?’

If I don’t prepare and leave now, there might be gossip here and there.

I need to feed her quickly and send her back to her original quarters.

“Hey, hey, Moon Bora. Wake up.”
“…Uhehe…”

Suddenly, Moon Bora grabbed my hand.

“Hehe… Grandpa… One more bowl of rice… Hehe…”
“…What the?”

Unbelievable.
I was dumbfounded for a while, then, feeling a bit indulgent because it was cute, I looked down with a smirk.

About 20 minutes passed.

As Moon Bora seemed to regain her senses, she wiped her mouth with a ‘Hmmm…’ and blinked her eyes blearily.

“…Uwaaaa?”
“Hello?”
“…?”

Moon Bora blinked her eyes slowly.
She couldn’t quite grasp the situation.

She had been happily walking downtown holding her grandfather’s hand…
She had eaten rice well…
So why was there a handsome stranger standing in front of her?

“…U… waaa?”

After blinking for about 10 seconds, Moon Bora finally understood the situation.
She remembered that it was too late, so she stayed at his place…
And she combined that memory with the information that she had a bad sleeping habit.

“U, u, u, u, u…!”
“It’s Grandpa~ Bora Bora~”
“Waaaaaa!!!”

After that, a bizarre rumor began to spread among the cadets that a scream from <Snow Ice> echoed through one of the dormitories.

Two days later.

“Hmm~”

A woman was walking confidently down the Academy corridor, humming a cheerful tune.

A beauty with bright red hair tied in a side-tail, gleaming like a bright flame.

Her identity was none other than Ju Na-young.

She felt the admiring gazes of the surrounding cadets, but Ju Na-young didn’t care at all.

Her mind was filled only with thoughts of ‘meeting him and handing it over.’

‘…Young-ahh.’

Ju Na-young thought, ‘Surely, he’ll be happy, right?’

In her hand was a lunchbox with a cute dragon mascot character drawn on it.

Inside was ‘Perilla Leaf Mint.’

However, peculiarly…

Something suspiciously mint-colored was spread over it.

‘Perilla Leaf Mint Choco!’

A special dish and delicacy.

Even among ‘Perilla Leaf Mint Choco’ enthusiasts, it was known to be a hard-to-find food.

Having obtained it with difficulty, Ju Na-young was walking while resisting the urge to eat it herself.
Of course, the intended recipient was Yu Seha.

―Wow, it’s the <Flame Dragon>… Do you think she’ll give me an autograph if I ask?
―No way, she’s on a different level from us.
―Oh right, did you hear? The <Dormitory Incident> this time. Professor Peng Jin-ah handled it. I heard she caught the <Slime King> that caused it.
―Oh, the Professor dealt with that personally? As expected of the <Overlord Sword>…

Ju Na-young listened intently to the last conversation.

Various things were said, but they were all rumors, so she shook her head dismissively.

‘I know everything~’

Ju Na-young, who had directly heard the whole story of the incidents, knew well.

The person who resolved this incident was not her respected Peng Jin-ah unnie, but Yu Seha.

It was just that Peng Jin-ah unnie stepped in to avoid the awkwardness of various rumors spreading.

“…Hehe.”

Ju Na-young was happy.
There was no special reason.

Just knowing that Yu Seha was the hero who resolved the incident gave her a subtle joy.

‘…I should at least praise him.’

That’s why she brought ‘Perilla Leaf Mint Shrimp Toast.’

She would subtly approach him and say, ‘I picked this up on the way… want to eat?’

And then she would watch him eat from the side.

While stealing a piece or two, opening the door to a conversation.

Of course, she didn’t plan to end it there.

‘Come on, just continue naturally.’

The first-year ‘Common Subject Class’ this afternoon.
Professor Kkan Kkan-mi’s [Strategy and Command System Structure] class.
Yu Seha would definitely attend that class, too.

‘…I’ll go in with him and sit next to him.’

And finally, nonchalantly…
Put an arm around his shoulder.

Lately, this was Ju Na-young’s way of showing affection towards Yu Seha.

―Team Leader unnie, is it really true? Wrapping an arm around the shoulder is that effective?
―It’s in a subtle, ambiguous area, but yes. It’s a very powerful weapon. Less embarrassing than holding hands, yet not weak in terms of physical contact. Especially since you have a chest that rivals <Snow Ice>, it naturally appeals…
―Y-Young-ah! D-don’t say weird things!

Her face flushed again just thinking about it.

Good grief.

‘It’s just a gesture of familiarity…’

Team Leader really had some misconceptions.

Well, yes. That’s it.

She also owed Yu Seha in many ways…

So, she was taking care of him.

There were no other feelings involved.

It was at that moment when she turned the corner.

“…!”

She spotted Yu Seha standing idly in the hallway, perfectly timed.

No matter how many times she saw him…
