Chapter 147

It seems like Guburi didn’t understand the meaning of my words, as he kept glancing at me and furiously tapping on his phone.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─??? What do you mean you can’t go? What kind of nonsense is this, you damn Gyesekkihoon.

【Min Ji】─I also don’t understand what Gye Se-hoon is saying. What do you mean by “can’t go”?

【Maehwa Tree】─You’re not seriously planning to live with that cockroach, are you?

【Yoho】─No way. Haha. Unless the room master got shot in the head, would he really let Gyeongsaeng stay at his house?

【Reverse Rape Mania】─You already proposed living together once before.

【Handsome Licker】─Are you trying to force Guburi into employment? *Lick lick*.

Guburi has no intention of sending me back.

The reason is simple.

No matter how much I think about it, the fact that he can’t even make proper eye contact or have a normal conversation with people seems too serious.

At least if he could have a normal conversation with others, I would consider sending him back, but until then, I plan to conduct special training with the yokai to help him develop social skills.

This is the so-called Guburi Rehabilitation Project.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Stop joking around and send me back quickly. I have a lot of things to do at home.

“What are you talking about sending back? You can’t go. Guburi, you’re going to be in charge of cooking at our house from now on, where do you think you’re going?”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─What do you mean cooking? Stop talking nonsense and just send me back nicely. ㅡㅡ

As expected, he wouldn’t listen to such casual talk.

I stood up to persuade Guburi.

I walked over and stopped in front of Guburi, then opened my mouth.

“Guburi, get up for a second.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Why the hell.

“Stop chatting on your phone and get up.”

I lowered my voice and spoke a bit more forcefully.

Guburi flinched and slowly got up. Of course, he was still looking down at his phone.

“Guburi. Forget what I said earlier about you being in charge of cooking. Do you really think I would keep you here to exploit you? I just said I can’t send you back because I’m worried about you.”

“······.”

Guburi remained silent.

I continued in a more serious tone.

“To be honest, your condition seems too serious. Don’t you realize that you’re not normal?”

“···.”

“If someone talks to you, you should answer.”

“Uh, yeah···.”

“Anyway, if I send you back like this, I feel like you might make an extreme choice later. You’re not planning to live locked up in your room forever, are you? Not that there’s anything wrong with living like that. But do you really think you can keep living like this without a proper job or money? How do you plan to live in the future?”

I spoke sincerely to Guburi.

Honestly, I don’t care what happens to others in the future.

Even if they commit suicide, it’s none of my business.

But Guburi is not just anyone to me.

He’s not just another person; he’s a precious fixed viewer who has been with me since the beginning of my broadcast.

I don’t want to see such a precious person’s life heading towards ruin.

That’s why I decided to use a slightly forceful method of ‘forced lodging and special education.’

Anyway.

I don’t expect Guburi to live his life perfectly.

I just want to help him live a normal life like everyone else.

“Guburi. Look me in the eye.”

“···Yeah.”

Guburi timidly raised his head.

But he couldn’t maintain eye contact for even a second and quickly looked away.

He was indeed in a serious state.

I sighed and continued.

“When you can look me in the eye for one minute, and when you can have a natural conversation in real life, not just in chat. When these two conditions are met, I’ll send you back.”

“······.”

Guburi silently nodded his head.

I thought he would resist more, but he accepted it faster than I expected.

It seems my heartfelt threat struck a chord with Guburi.

After that.

I looked at the augmented reality chat window in front of me.

Since I started talking to Guburi, not a single chat had come up. It seemed the viewers sensed it wasn’t the time for jokes and were holding back.

“And other viewers, please understand about Guburi and me living together. You’ve been watching the broadcast and know what state Guburi is in.”

As I said that, the silent viewers started pouring out chats again.

【Min Ji】─Okay···. Got it.

【Yoho】─It can’t be helped···. After hearing the room master’s words, it seems right to keep Gyeongsaeng there and educate him···.

【Handsome Licker】─*Lick lick*! *Lick lick*! *Lick lick*!

【Qkrnfl892】─Do as you please. It’s not like anything will change even if we oppose it.

【Drifting AI】─I speak. I will follow Gyesekkihoon’s will.

【Meng Yao】─Guburi suddenly became obedient.

【Jujijoa】─Seems like he’s too scared to say anything.

【Maehwa Tree】─There’s a valid reason for living together, so I can’t oppose it···. Maybe I should have lived like Guburi, a total loser.

【Cat-eared Woman】─Senior, you already seem like a total loser. Haha.

【Maehwa Tree】─I’m really dead.

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! It’s like Gye Se-hoon is training Guburi! I should visit later to see the trained Guburi!

【Handsome Licker】─Guburi trainer Gyesekkihoon. *Lick lick*.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─What? Why is everyone suddenly in agreement? It wasn’t like this before.

【Big Girl】─Gye Se-hoon spoke so seriously, who would dare to oppose it?

【Jujijoa】─Guburi seems like he’ll be fine.

【Qkrnfl892】─After watching, it seems like we don’t need to treat him as a woman like us.

【Handsome Licker】─Haha. Just think of him as a pet human. *Lick lick*.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─I see.

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─But Guburi wasn’t originally this bad. Haha.

【Min Ji】─Really? Is it just with Gye Se-hoon that he acts like this?

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─Yeah. In front of Gye Se-hoon, he goes from a total loser to a super ultra mega loser.

【Min Ji】─If he only acts like that with a specific person, maybe he doesn’t need rehabilitation?

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─No no. Guburi still stutters and can’t make eye contact when talking to me. It’s just a difference in degree, but he’s definitely in a state that needs rehabilitation, as Gye Se-hoon said.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─The Defense Team was originally against living together, right?

【Se-hoon Defense Team】─I changed my mind after hearing Gye Se-hoon’s words.

Not a single viewer opposed.

Well, even if they didn’t like Guburi living with me, they wouldn’t dare to speak up. No one would be brave enough to voice opposition in this atmosphere.

Unless they wanted to be blacklisted, it’s normal to follow my decision while reading the room.

“Thanks for understanding, guys.”

【Min Ji】─Haha, no problem~

【Maehwa Tree】─Sigh. This is annoying.

【Cat-eared Woman】─Don’t get angry. You’ll get wrinkles.

【Yoho】─Room master. If you’re grateful, let me live with you too.

“Yoho. Don’t push it.”

【Yoho】─ㅠ

【Balloon Gum Collector】─Wow! Yoho got shut down immediately!

【Handsome Licker】─Trying to sneak in. *Slap slap*.

After getting unanimous agreement from the viewers.

I asked the maid to bring me a notebook and pen.

Soon, the maid hurriedly brought the notebook and pen, and I tore out a page to write something.

===

<Guburi's Daily Mandatory Actions>

◎Prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

-Decide the menu yourself.

◎Greet.

-One greeting after waking up.

-One greeting before sleeping.

※Make eye contact while greeting.

◎Practice conversation.

-One hour of conversation practice with Min Neong and the maid.

===

I wrote down what came to mind for now.

I plan to add more later or delete unnecessary items.

I immediately handed the paper to Guburi.

“For now, just talk to the maid and Min Neong. It still seems too hard for you to have a proper conversation with me.”

【Handsome Licker】─Pretending to be considerate. *Lick lick*.

Guburi nodded at my words.

Then, fidgeting, he spoke softly.

“Um, um···.”

He started to say something but stopped.

Then he tapped on his phone and sent a chat.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─I need to get my stuff from the one-room tel. Damn it.

“Crazy girl···. Please try to speak confidently in real life too. Anyway, I’ll get your stuff for you, so don’t worry.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─No, I’ll go get it myself.

“No. From now on, you can’t leave this house except when shopping. And even when shopping, Min Neong will always follow you to keep an eye on you.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─You bastard. Don’t you know locking someone up is a crime? ㅡㅡ

【Qkrnfl892】─No no. It’s not a crime. My mom is the police chief of this area, and she said it’s okay to lock you up.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─?? What the hell is wrong with these crazy girls.

【Handsome Licker】─Hahaha. Corrupt police. *Lick lick*.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─So locking someone up isn’t a crime.

【Min Ji】─It’s not a crime to lock up a mentally ill person in a mental hospital.

【Reverse Rape Mania】─Ah. I understand now. Thanks.

Even the current police chief acknowledged it, so this is a legitimate confinement. Probably.

“Anyway, I’ll get your stuff right away, so take a shower and wait.”

【Yoho】─Why are you making him shower? What are you planning to do? You’re not planning to do something like *pant pant* *moan moan*, are you? ㅡㅡ

【Big Girl】─Yoho. Don’t suddenly go off the rails.

【Handsome Licker】─That’s so random. *Lick lick*.

【Maehwa Tree】─Yoho, hide your true nature.

After saying that.

Just as I was about to visit Guburi’s house with Min Neong.

【Jujijoa】─Gye Se-hoon, you stay home and rest. I’ll get Guburi’s stuff for you.

Jujijoa suddenly sent a chat saying she would bring Guburi’s stuff for him.

“Huh? Why are you bringing Guburi’s stuff?”

【Jujijoa】─I happen to be near where Guburi lives right now.

“Really? But you don’t have to go out of your way. It’s troublesome to come all the way here.”

【Jujijoa】─It’s not troublesome. And I’m already in front of the building where Guburi lives.

I decided not to refuse any further.

It’s polite to refuse once.

“Okay. Then I’ll leave it to you.”

【Jujijoa】─Say thank you.

“···Thank you.”

【Jujijoa】─Okay. I’ll be right back.

Thanks to Jujijoa, I could avoid the hassle.

After that, I decided to wait for Jujijoa to arrive and think a bit more about the Guburi Rehabilitation Project.

***

Sky One Room Tel, Room 303.

Jujijoa was inside the room, having climbed through the window to gather Guburi’s belongings.

‘Why does he have so much tissue? Dirty guy.’

She was packing even the small, seemingly unnecessary items. Even the tissues with Guburi’s traces on them.

‘If I decide not to take something, it might cause trouble later, so I’ll take everything.’

Just as Jujijoa finished packing everything.

Click. Click.

The locked room door was forcibly opened.

Creak.

The door opened, and three women with haggard faces walked in.

The women looked surprised when they saw Jujijoa’s face.

“Huh? Who are you···?”

“······.”

“Uh. She’s a foreigner.”

“Excuse me? What are you doing here? Are you a thief···?”

Jujijoa put down the stuff she was holding.

She brushed off the dust on her hands and answered.

“···I came to get my friend’s stuff.”

“Your friend? That’s strange. Ah-yeon never said she was moving out.”

“More importantly, why are you breaking into someone else’s room?”

The women didn’t answer Jujijoa’s question.

They just muttered to themselves.

“She can’t just run away like this···.”

“···Did she notice?”

“I told you we should have acted faster.”

Then suddenly.

The women’s gazes focused on Jujijoa.

The look of predators eyeing their prey.

They licked their lips and started examining Jujijoa’s body up and down.

Then they quietly pulled out sharp knives and pointed them at Jujijoa.

“Well, at least there’s a replacement···.”

“···Better than nothing.”

“I liked Ah-yeon more, though.”

Seeing the women like this.

Jujijoa smiled coldly and spoke calmly.

“Guburi, what kind of psycho nest did you move into?”

Physiognomy is indeed a science.

I’m glad I came to the one-room tel myself.

Just as Jujijoa was thinking that.

“Foreigner, just think of it as bad luck···. Blame Ah-yeon···.”

The three women simultaneously lunged at Jujijoa, mercilessly stabbing her stomach, neck, and chest.

But.

“Uh uh···?”

“···What, what’s this?”

“Why isn’t it piercing her body?”

Jujijoa wasn’t harmed at all.

Only her clothes were slightly torn.

The stabbed areas were completely fine, without a single small wound.

“What are you so surprised about? Never seen someone who can’t be stabbed?”

Jujijoa, with a cold expression, roughly grabbed one of the women’s faces.

Then she sighed deeply and crushed the woman’s head with her grip.

“Sigh. This is annoying. I decided not to kill anymore···.”

“Eek!”

“Gasp···!”

Terrified by the unbelievable sight, the women.

They looked at Jujijoa as if she were a monster and tried to turn around and run out of the room.

But it was a futile struggle.

“···Huh?”

“Uh, when did she get behind us···.”

In the short moment they turned around.

Jujijoa had already moved at superhuman speed to block the door.

“Well, anyway···. Just think of it as bad luck.”

That day.

All the residents of Sky One Room Tel disappeared without a trace.
