I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 72

Chapter 72
Hey hey, I entrust this to the future me!

“Wa, wait Jess.. calm -.. calm down a bit..”

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom ki n g m t l . o r g
“Kking, nging… Mmas… Master..”

Jess climbed on top of me, rubbing her face all over my cheeks while making sounds like a whimpering puppy. I reflexively patted Jess’s back and spoke.

“Jess, why are you here?”

Seeing someone who shouldn’t be here right in front of my eyes, that question popped out first before any other. Jess, who had been rubbing her face all over mine, spoke with sparkling eyes. No, she tried to speak.

Dub-seok!

“Kuk?”

Jess’s body was suddenly lifted up high. As I shifted my gaze, Iris was coldly holding Jess’s tattered robe and lifting her up. Jess was frozen with her eyes wide open like a puppy being dragged by the neck.

“Brother… what is this?”

“Oh, oh, she’s brother’s close little sister.”

When I answered, stuttering as Iris’s atmosphere seemed more murderous than usual, Iris’s eyes became even more eerie.

“Clo… se little sister?”

Somehow… it felt like I could see the sound effect of ‘gugugugugu!’ behind Iris’s back. Jess, who was caught by Iris with surprised eyes, muttered with a frown.

“.. Blood smell, grrr.”

We didn’t have time to wash as we hurriedly escaped the arena. Because of that, Iris was covered in blood. Jess, who had a sensitive nose, seemed to dislike the smell of blood as she growled, revealing her teeth.

Iris looked at Jess coldly like that. It seemed like they would fight right away if left alone, so I abruptly got up and squeezed between the two.

“Iris, let’s put Jess down first.”

“…Okay.”

With a slower response than usual, Iris let go of Jess. Jess shook her body and wrinkled her nose.

“Master, who is this person?”

Perhaps because quite a lot of time had passed, Jess’s way of speaking had become very mature. However, she still called me ‘Mmaster’ instead of ‘Master’, giving off a strong feeling that she was still young.

“Well, this is my sister Iris.”

“Sister…?”

“It means family.”

At those words, Jess’s tail drooped down. The red ears that had risen above her head at some point were drooping.

“Isn’t Jess Master’s family?”

As soon as Jess finished speaking… a cold front arrived. I froze with a smile on my face. A snowstorm was blowing from Iris’s direction.

Dub-seok!

Iris suddenly hugged my arm and glared at Jess.

“Brother is my brother. You’re not a sister.”

“Hiiing..”

At Iris’s resolute words, Jess looked at me with a tearful expression. I tried to say, “No, Jess is also my family,” but the words got stuck in my throat as the instinct in my head grabbed my neck.

Just as there is a saying about a woman’s intuition, men also have a sense that transcends the world. The feeling that if I say these words, I will be X!

“Jess is… similar… to family!”

“Similar…?”

I felt the snowstorm blowing from Iris’s side getting stronger. In contrast, Jess raised the ears she had drooped and started spinning her tail like a propeller.

“Really?”

“Yup.”

Kwaaak, it hurts. My arm hurts. I tapped the back of Iris’s hand and then lowered my head to whisper in Iris’s ear.

“But my real family is only Iris. It’s a secret to Jess. Okay?”

“…!”

My arm, which was tightening to the point of trying to escape this world, returned to its intact form. I inwardly let out a sigh of relief and thought.

‘Wouldn’t it be a huge problem if she finds out we’re not family?’

Judging from Iris’s reaction, it seemed like it would be a big deal even if it caused an uproar. Sweating nervously, I pondered how to solve it if she found out we weren’t family. The answer came easily.

‘…I’ll leave it to the future me!’

He’ll figure it out! I’m counting on you! Future me!

For some reason, it feels like the future me across space and time is cursing at me, but let’s lightly ignore that.

“Now, back to the original topic. Jess, how did you end up coming here?”

“To find Mmaster, diligen, diligently? I ran!”

T hi s wa s co p i e d f ro m k in g m t l . o r g
Her appearance of looking up at me with sparkling eyes was so cute that I habitually raised my hand to pat her head. Then, the ears that were standing up drooped down, ready to be petted.

‘Cu, cute…’

With that thought in my mind, I patted Jess’s head. Jess’s tail wagged wildly again. Feeling the fluffy sensation I hadn’t felt in a long time, I was doing something similar to animal therapy…

Swish.

Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed and lifted up.

“Huh?”

My hand, pulled like that, was placed on top of Iris’s head. I felt the hair that had become hard with dried blood on my fingertips.

“…Me too..”

Iris mumbled in a small voice and lowered her head. Being sandwiched between cute kids, I felt like I was being purified. As if my soul was leaving my body -…

“Keuk..”

I bit my tongue at the sensation of my soul really trying to leave my body and came to my senses. Blood flowed from the corner of my mouth, but it was okay.

“Bro, brother!”

“Master!”

But it seemed like the kids were not okay. Seeing them jumping into my arms with a crying face, I gulped down the blood and spoke.

“I, I bit my cheek badly. It’s okay. It’s okay. Anyway, let’s buy the groceries we were going to get first. Ah, Jess, you’ll be coming with us, right?”

As I quickly changed the subject, Jess nodded with confused eyes. I hurried to the grocery store before the kids could cling to me any longer.

I bought as much food as possible, considering the amount Jess, a beast-person, would eat. It was to the level of almost emptying out the grocery store.

‘Since food won’t spoil in extra-dimensional space. I should buy as much as possible while I can.’

The store owner stared with his mouth wide open at the groceries that disappeared into the bag. As I paid with gold coins, he bowed his head repeatedly with a broad smile.

Since the clothes Jess was wearing were too tattered, I stopped by the mercenary supply store again and bought a robe and clothes that Jess would likely wear. After paying for the clothes and robe, I stuffed them into the bag and told the two.

T h i s w a s cop i e d fr o m ki n gm t l. o r g
“Let’s stop by there for a bit before we go. If we don’t wash up before leaving, monsters might swarm us.”

Th i s wa s c o pi e d f r o m ki ng m t l . o rg
When I pointed to an inn with a flashy, shiny signboard, the two nodded their heads.

Jess was wrinkling her nose, meaning the smell of blood was vibrating to that extent, so if we went outside like this, we would become bait that attracted monsters. It was better to wash up if possible.

‘At first, I thought we should leave as quickly as possible, but..’

Thinking that the time we stayed seemed to be getting longer and longer, I entered the lodge. As we went inside, rough-looking men were raising their voices while gambling here and there, or downing drinks with women under their arms.

There were also occasional people who had passed out after taking drugs. In this lawless zone, it would be a scene like everyday life. It wouldn’t be any different in other stores.

I went straight to the desk. An old man with a mustache, wearing glasses and reading something like a newspaper, rolled his eyes and looked at me.

Chwak.

He folded the newspaper and spoke.

“Gambling is over there, druggies are over there, if you need a woman, tell me your preferred type. Oh, my. You already brought one? And even brought two, you’ve got good skills? Then you’ll need a room?”

“Is there a room with a bathroom? I’m thinking of using it for just half a day and leaving..”

“Then 3 silvers. If you include washing, it’s 5 silvers.”

Since 1 silver had a value of roughly 100,000 won, it was a ridiculous rip-off.

“Is it possible to go lower?”

“No. If you don’t like it, leave.”

T h i s wa s cop ied f r o m k i n g m t l . o rg
“Well, okay then.”

When I readily said I would leave, the man clicked his tongue and spoke.

“Sigh, I’ll give it to you for 3 silvers because I pity you.”

“I only have 1 silver and 20 coppers, how about it?”

Renting a room with a bathroom usually cost around 1 silver. It was something I had seen in the original work. The man frowned as if pondering, then sighed and accepted it.

The three of us immediately went up to the reserved room. After entering and firmly locking the door, I told the two.

“Wash up as quickly as possible and let’s lea-…”

“Wow! A bath!”

Flap…

Before I could even finish my sentence, Jess took off her robe and clothes, throwing them as she ran into the bathroom. The clothes slowly fell in the air, covering Jess’s naked body.

“…I want to wash with brother.”

“That.. wouldn’t it be difficult?”

“….Really?”

“Yup.”

“….Can’t I?”

Th i s w as c op ie d f r o m k i n g m t l. or g
“N..o.”
T h i s wa s c o pie d f r om ki n gm tl . o r g

Iris attacked with her sparkling eyes, but what can’t be done, can’t be done. If we were real siblings with a huge age gap, it might be possible, but frankly, Iris and I were complete strangers. A complete man who could even get married!

That’s why washing together is absolutely not allowed. For the sake of my survival…

Isn’t there a common scene in gag anime? Where a man sneaks into a women’s bath and ends up leaving the world with his final memories… Even if I resurrect, I don’t want to experience dying again.

“Now, hurry and go in to wash. I’ll wait here.”

“..Tsk.”

“Huh?”

Did Iris just cli-… Nah, it can’t be. Our kind Iris wouldn’t do that, yup, that’s right.

Sssshhh -.

Perhaps because the room wasn’t properly soundproofed, the sound of water could be heard clearly.

‘Let’s take out the clothes for the kids to wear.’

Thinking that, I was taking out clothes from the bag…

Squeak squeak.

Some undesirable noises were coming from the room next door and upstairs.

‘I’m… not sad.’

Feeling sweat flowing from my eyes, I put the kids’ clothes in front of the door.
