Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game - Chapter 69

Chapter 69

vs Seong Yura (3)

Seong Yura’s mansion, located halfway up Hajung Mountain.

Using various abilities and items to conceal ourselves, we managed to reach the vicinity of Seong Yura’s mansion.

“So, this is the place.”
T h i s w a s c o pied f r om k i n gm tl . org

Through the lush vegetation, the sight of a postmodern-style building came into view.

The mansion was surrounded by CCTV cameras, guard dogs, and security personnel, making it no easy task to sneak in.

However, the number of guards seemed much smaller than expected.

Th i s was c o p i e d f ro m k i n g m t l .or g
Moreover, it felt somewhat chaotic.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m ki n g m t l . o r g

Almost as if something had happened inside the mansion.

“…Are you really planning to enter with us?”

I asked while observing the situation through my kaleidoscope, then turned to the others.

“Yeah.”

“Please.”

Lee Siwoon and Roxanne nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Neither of them needed to enter the mansion, but they seemed determined to do so, despite the risk.

“I promise, Lee Jinhyuk. At the very least, I won’t be a burden.”

Lee Siwoon looked directly into my eyes and added in a low, firm voice.

Unlike his usual indifferent demeanor, there was a hint of resolve in his gaze.

It seemed he couldn’t just stand by and wait while Soyeon was kidnapped.

No wonder he’s the male protagonist. Honestly, it’s kind of impressive.

Risking this much for the girl you have feelings for.

“…Are you sure it’s okay not to stop them?”

I glanced at the security personnel under Lee Siwoon’s command.
T h i s wa s c o pie d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

One of the middle-aged guards, equipped with the latest gear, smiled faintly and nodded.

“Yes. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Siwoon act this way for a friend.”

This middle-aged man’s name was Seong Doha.

He had been Lee Siwoon’s bodyguard since childhood and was a former high-rank hero.

Originally, his role was to oversee the security and safety of Lee Siwoon’s mansion, but over time, he had almost become like a butler for Lee Siwoon.

Since Lee Siwoon had lived apart from his parents for a long time, Seong Doha was probably like a substitute guardian to him.

In fact, the setting notes describe Seong Doha as someone the Lee Siwoon family trusted deeply, and Lee Siwoon also relied on him quite a bit.

“Seeing Siwoon step up like this, just like with that strange stalker incident, brings tears to my eyes. Haha.”

“Uh, really?”

The middle-aged man looked up at the sky with a nostalgic expression, then pulled out a handkerchief and wiped away a tear.

Despite his appearance, he seemed to be quite sensitive.

He looked like a parent overjoyed at their child’s growth. Hmm. It felt a bit over-the-top. Well, I knew he had this kind of personality.

“Indeed. I was always worried since he didn’t get along well with others when he was younger, but now he’s being this stubborn. I, Seong Doha, am moved.”

“Mister.”

“Ah, how long has it been since Siwoon was this stubborn?”

“Mister.”

“Of course, I know it’s dangerous. I’m aware that it’s slightly illegal too. If the Chairman finds out, it’ll be quite troublesome.”

“Mister.”

“But! Siwoon risking himself for a kidnapped friend… Yes, young men need experiences like this. Haha. It’s only natural he’d want to show his manly side in front of his first love…”

“Mister, sorry, but could you please stop?”

Unable to bear it any longer, Lee Siwoon sighed deeply, asking him to stop. Only then did Seong Doha realize and clear his throat, bowing his head slightly.

“Sorry, Siwoon. Was I being too much?”

“……”

Lee Siwoon didn’t respond, only glaring sharply at Seong Doha, who scratched the back of his neck and averted his gaze.

To an outsider, the interaction between the two seemed a bit amusing, but in any case, it was clear that they would be a great help in this situation.

‘At least it’s fortunate that several of Lee Siwoon’s security team are helping. They’re all highly skilled, likely on par with active heroes. Phew. Lee Siwoon, you’ve got some decent connections.’

While there weren’t many of them, their numbers were just right for sneaking into the mansion.

After all, a large group would make stealth nearly impossible.

“My ability should be able to help. So please.”

“Hmm.”

T h i s w a s c op i e d f ro m k i n g m t l .o rg
This time, Roxanne approached and spoke up.

Indeed, her ability would be quite useful.

Roxanne’s special ability was creating barriers.
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k in g m t l. or g

Her power allowed her to create a special domain where various rules and laws could be set.

It was a highly versatile ability that could be used in many different ways.

However, Roxanne…

“Are you sure it’s okay? Won’t the other Church members try to stop you? Have you discussed this with them beforehand?”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k in gm t l.o rg

I glanced at the dozen or so followers who had accompanied Roxanne.

These were the people who had steadfastly supported Roxanne despite Seong Yura’s underhanded tactics.

While they weren’t many, it was clear that their faith, trust, and expectations for Roxanne were immense, considering they hadn’t succumbed to Seong Yura’s threats and temptations.

Moreover, Roxanne was one of the candidates for the position of Saintess.

Would they really allow someone in such a position to enter such a dangerous place?

If it were me, I would’ve opposed it.

“We’re fine.”

“Excuse me?”

“If Roxanne has made up her mind, we have to trust her. Haha.”

“Ah, I see.”

How should I describe this?

It’s quite a devout response, I suppose.

They allowed it so freely, laughing as if it were a good thing, but the unwavering faith they had in Roxanne was somewhat intimidating.

Because, in the future, these people would follow Roxanne even if she turned to the dark side. Their faith in her was excessive.

It’s reassuring to have them as allies, but a bit scary to face them as enemies.

They’re like fanatics.

“Since this involves Seong Yura… I don’t think I can sit this one out. Please.”

“Hmm, well. Alright.”

Since Seong Yura deeply cares for Roxanne, it should be fine.

Maybe we could even use Roxanne for a psychological attack.

“Lee Jinhyuk, are you ready? It’s almost time.”

“Oh, Yoo Seolhyun.”

“By the way, it’s funny that both Lee Siwoon and Roxanne insist on entering the mansion. Why not just wait outside like me?”

Yoo Seolhyun sighed and shook her head.

“Why are they so eager to make things harder for themselves?”

“You’re one to talk.”

T h is w as c o p i ed fr o m k ing m t l . o r g
Honestly, the person who had worked the hardest today was Yoo Seolhyun.

Despite frequently complaining about the risks, burdens, and responsibilities, Yoo Seolhyun had been running around tirelessly, solving various issues in this short amount of time.

She had persuaded her Clan members, offered rewards and incentives, prepared contingencies in case things went wrong, and coordinated with her contacts in the prosecutors’ office, police, and the media.

Although Yoo Seolhyun might have to bear considerable responsibility if things went wrong, she was surprisingly proactive in helping.

Is it because she firmly believes in my foresight abilities?

“Yoo Seolhyun, thank you. You managed to gather a lot of people in such a short time.”
Th i s w a s c o p i e d fr om k i n gm t l .or g

“Whether this succeeds or fails, I’ll still have a lot to deal with. But if this really goes wrong, I won’t let you off the hook.”

I scratched my chin and nodded at Yoo Seolhyun, who grumbled irritably.

“Got it, got it.”

“…The secret ledger and other evidence come first. Understand?”

“Yeah.”

“My forces won’t move until those are secured. Don’t forget that.”

With Yoo Seolhyun’s warning, I used the kaleidoscope to locate the approximate position of the secret passage.

Alright, it’s time to get going.

Time to rescue Soyeon.

***

Jin Soyeon slowly opened her eyes.

Her head felt a bit foggy, as if the anesthetic hadn’t fully worn off, causing her to sway slightly.

Why does my head feel so fuzzy?
Th i s was co p i e d fr om k i n g m t l . o r g

Did I sleep wrong last night?

“Hello, you must be Jin Soyeon, right?”

“Huh?”

A strange face appeared in Jin Soyeon’s blurry vision.

It was a pretty girl with short brown hair, smiling sweetly. Who is this girl?

Jin Soyeon felt a surge of confusion. Why was this brown-haired girl in her room?

Wait, is this even home?

Maybe she had dozed off at the Academy and just woke up.

Wait a minute.

Jin Soyeon glanced around.

This wasn’t the Academy. This room, filled with expensive-looking items, didn’t belong to her.

A feeling of unease rose to the surface.

Why am I in a place I’ve never seen before?

‘I should check where I am… Oh, what’s this?’

She suddenly realized she was tied up.

Her entire body was tightly bound to a chair, leaving her unable to move.

Jin Soyeon’s eyes widened.

She was tied up? Why?

“It’s better if you stay still. I won’t hurt you. At least, not yet.”

“…Who are you?”

“Me? I’m Seong Yura, Seong Yura. Have you heard of me? I haven’t been to the Academy much lately.”

“…Seong Yura, from Class 3?”

Seong Yura nodded, smiling gently.

“That’s right. I’m in the same class as Roxanne.”

“Why… am I here?”

“Oh, don’t you remember? Still half-asleep? Well, let me explain it to you simply.”

Seong Yura spoke cheerfully.

“You were kidnapped by me.”

“!”

It all came back to her.

Last night, someone had broken in, subdued her, and knocked her out with some kind of drug.

Then they had taken her somewhere…

“Kidnapped? I was? By you… and your people?”

“Yup.”

Seong Yura.

What is this woman thinking?

What kind of mindset does an Academy trainee have to kidnap someone…!
