‘Interfere?’
Miu, BBQ, and me?
(Alliance) BBQ: What??
(Alliance) BBQ: No way!!
Of course, BBQ jumped in immediately as soon as Miu asked.
(Alliance) BBQ: The more people for gathering, the better! I’m super super welcome!
(Alliance) BBQ: I was just surprised because Miu-nim doesn’t usually do farming stuff.. lolol (Alliance) BBQ: You’re totally welcome to come along.
The chef, who was obsessed with ingredients, seemed delighted at the prospect of having an extra pair of hands. Seeing that reaction, Mo Yeon-hu started to head toward the door, thinking it was about time to leave.
(Alliance) Miu: What about Momo-nim?
Miu specifically called out to Mo Yeon-hu.
(Alliance) Miu: Momo-nim, do you not want to go with me?
(Alliance) 0momo0: Huh??? No, of course not (Alliance) 0momo0: !
(Alliance) 0momo0: I’d love to go together!!
Though he found it strange to be asked so suddenly, he answered readily. Only then did Miu move from the spot between BBQ and Mo Yeon-hu.
(Alliance) Miu: Then that’s fine.
(Alliance) Miu: Shall we go?
(Alliance) BBQ: Yep lol
(Alliance) 0momo0: Yes!
(Alliance) Shin Jadu: Oh.. have fun, you three.
(Alliance) FUNK: k
And so, a party consisting of Miu, BBQ, and Mo Yeon-hu was formed in a blur.
(Alliance) Miu: Which way are we going?
(Alliance) BBQ: The coordinates are… oh, wait a sec, let me re-read the map.
(Alliance) BBQ: The place I originally planned to go has a small gathering spot… so I’m thinking of going somewhere else.
(Alliance) BBQ: I want to remotely check the status of the crops before we head out, can you two wait a moment?
(Alliance) 0momo0: Yes!! Take your time!
Facing a suddenly quiet BBQ, Mo Yeon-hu glanced to the side.
‘Farming together…’
A farming date. It felt somewhat romantic.
Though they ended up accompanying each other by chance, they hadn’t actually had many opportunities to do activities together. Since Miu and Mo Yeon-hu had to appear to be on bad terms on the surface, it had been a very long time since they did something together, especially in front of other Alliance members.
(CH03) 0momo0: Wow, it’ll be so much fun to go together, right??
(CH03) Miu: Haha, I guess so.
Mo Yeon-hu was thrilled.
He was happy just enjoying such simple content with Miu, and he felt like they were getting closer.
(Alliance) BBQ: (Coordinates) Miu-nim, Momo-nim, are you there?
(Alliance) BBQ: We’re heading this way lol, ready?
(Alliance) 0momo0: Ah, yes yes! Let’s go!
Just as the conversation ended, BBQ gave the signal to depart.
BBQ grouped Mo Yeon-hu and Miu together and invited them.
(Group) BBQ: Here we go~ lol
Following BBQ’s lead, they moved using their Mounts. Upon arriving at the gathering spot, they divided the area and began farming.
(Group) BBQ: Momo-nim and Miu-nim, please harvest the vanilla beans! And please replant them in the spots you pulled them from and apply fertilizer. I’ll go harvest the truffles I planted over there! lolol (Group) 0momo0: Okay, sounds good!!
(Group) BBQ: What about Miu-nim?
(Group) BBQ: Ah, right, you usually don’t answer.. lol (Group) 0momo0: Haha..
BBQ accepted it awkwardly, looking at Miu, who was just standing there blankly. Mo Yeon-hu laughed as if in agreement. It was because Miu hadn’t responded to any of BBQ’s talk from the moment they started.
(Group) Miu: ?
(Group) Miu: I always answer well.
Because Miu immediately countered with a cold face, Mo Yeon-hu and BBQ instinctively glanced toward them.
(Group) BBQ: What?? Miu-nim?
(Group) Miu: Yeah.
(Group) Miu: I answer well. BBQ-nim, you must be mistaken about something.
(Group) BBQ: ???
(Group) BBQ: …….Yes, I guess so?
BBQ seemed confused, but since they had to harvest their beloved truffles waiting in the distance, they seemed to back down for now.
(Group) BBQ: Then I’ll be harvesting over there!!
(Group) BBQ: Chat if anything happens lolol (Group) 0momo0: Okay.
(Group) Miu: Yeah.
(Group) BBQ: Wow, they actually answered.
(Group) Miu: Is there a problem?
(Group) BBQ: No no, I’m going~;;
Watching BBQ hurry away, Mo Yeon-hu stepped up to the vanilla beans first. Then, beside him…
‘Are you supposed to stand this close while harvesting?’
As if they had been waiting, Miu stood right next to him. Looking bewildered, Mo Yeon-hu glanced at Miu’s character’s face, then at the distance between them, then at the vanilla beans in front of him. After scanning three times, he concluded, ‘I guess you harvest spices while standing close like this.’
Then, he cheerfully typed in the chat.
(Group) 0momo0: Wow, I was worried because I’m not good at mini-games!!
(Group) 0momo0: I’m so glad Miu came along haha!! Right? hahaha And at that moment, whispers started flying in like crazy.
(Whisper) BBQ: No no no Momo-nim Momo-niim (Whisper) BBQ: No no no no no no no no no no (Whisper) BBQ: No no no informal speech
Looking at the last message, he realized why BBQ was acting this way.
(Whisper) BBQ: Miu-nim absolutely haaaaates people who use informal speech ㅠㅠㅠ
‘Ah, I used informal speech just now?’
He meant to send it as a private message, but he accidentally sent it in the group chat.
(Whisper) BBQ: Even if the misunderstanding between Momo-nim and Miu-nim is resolved (Whisper) BBQ: At this rate, even the resolved misunderstanding could get tangled again.
Come to think of it, Miu had shuddered in disgust when he mentioned wanting to use informal speech.
(Whisper) BBQ: Wouldn’t it be better for your safety to apologize for the informal speech… just being nosy lolol; (Whisper) 0momo0: Yes!! One sec.
But they were getting along well now, and Miu didn’t say anything even if he used informal speech. Rather, because they had become familiar with each other, he had made a mistake.
(Group) 0momo0: Haha, the informal speech was a joke~~
(Group) 0momo0: I’m glad I came with Miu-nim, right!!
‘I’ll just gloss over it.’
From BBQ’s perspective, unaware of the circumstances, it must have felt like 0momo0 had done something very offensive to Miu.
(Whisper) BBQ: Phew~; Good good lolol
When he fixed it by saying it was a joke, BBQ sent a whisper to Mo Yeon-hu as if relieved.
(Group) Miu: Momo-nim.
(Group) Miu: What are you doing?
Just then, Miu called Mo Yeon-hu. Naturally, BBQ jumped.
(Whisper) BBQ: OMG the Great Demon King called you. Look at that tone;; they must be angry;; they’re freaking furious;; you’re doomed. What should we do, should we apologize together? They’re definitely going to rip you apart.
(Group) Miu: I don’t know why you’ve been acting like this for a while now.
(Whisper) BBQ: Wow;; Emergency;;
(Whisper) BBQ: The Alliance Master is seriously pissed.
(Whisper) BBQ: I can’t let this happen. I have loyalty; I can’t lose my disciple like this. Momo-nim, tell them you’re coming over to harvest truffles.
(Whisper) BBQ: While I harvest vanilla, I’ll try to gently apologize to Miu-nim. I may look like this, but I’m a capable chef, you know?? Ah, but if the atmosphere is too bad, Momo-nim, just bolt.
(Whisper) BBQ: We’re in a gathering spot, so they can’t beat you to death—but once you leave, damage goes through, so get your Mount out and be as agile as possible.
(Group) Miu: Why won’t you use informal speech with me?
(Whisper) BBQ: ?
(Whisper) BBQ: ????????
(Whisper) BBQ: ??? Huh??
Amidst the barrage of question marks, Miu spoke.
(Group) Miu: It’s disappointing.
(Whisper) BBQ: ??????????
(Whisper) BBQ: What??????????
