Chapter 83

(CH03) 0momo0: what do i dooo

(CH03) 0momo0: what do I do???

He had spent all this time being treated like a spy by Miu, living as if they were sworn enemies, and now the alliance members had caught them getting out of the helicopter side by side. Even to him, the scene probably looked strange.

Isn’t this going to make it harder to find the spy?

Until now, they had openly cast suspicion on Mo Yeonhoo and laid out the board so the spy could move more freely, but now they were doing this.

As Mo Yeonhoo’s mind went blank and he stamped his feet in panic, Miu typed calmly, as if he had somehow sensed what was going on inside him.

(CH03) Miu: It’s okay

(CH03) Miu: There’s no need to pretend you’re a spy anymore anyway

(CH03) 0momo0: Huh? Why?

When Mo Yeonhoo asked in confusion, Miu explained calmly.

(CH03) Miu: If <VITA> are the ones who’ve been planting spies and blowing up alliances this whole time, they would’ve told the spy in <47> everything by now

(CH03) 0momo0: What??

(CH03) Miu: That we’re on the same side

(CH03) Miu: They might’ve been unsure during the last WAVE, but this time they’ll be certain

(CH03) Miu: We weren’t just together. We attacked together too, didn’t we?

Right, the player who ran away saw me.

Only then did he understand why Miu was not bothering to lie to the alliance members.

If, as Miu said, <VITA> was the one planting spies all this time, then it would have told that spy everything about seeing Miu fight alongside 0momo0, the very person Miu had been accusing of being a spy until now.

(CH03) Miu: So I think we can just say the two of us made up and leave it at that

(CH03) Miu: Then it’ll be easier for us to move around together from now on

There was no need to make them look like they were on bad terms on purpose either.

But there’s no guarantee <VITA> is the one who planted the spy, right?

After thinking it over, Mo Yeonhoo suggested another possibility.

(CH03) 0momo0: But since we’re still not sure, wouldn’t it be better if I keep being suspected?

(CH03) 0momo0: There could be a spy from some other alliance besides <VITA>..

They should use whatever they could use for now.

In Mo Yeonhoo’s opinion, continuing the act for the time being seemed like it would create the best situation for the real spy to reveal themselves.

After all, from the spy’s perspective, the person they would be most wary of right now was probably Miu, who had the blueprint.

He’s not answering. Is he thinking it over?

Mo Yeonhoo began thinking about how they could keep up the scenario where he was still suspected of being a spy.

How are the alliance members reacting?

When he quietly switched chat tabs, sure enough, they were already expressing their doubts.

(Alliance) MouseTrap: Exactly... why are you two together...?

(Alliance) 1Poop1: I’m fuc1ing curious. What happened?

Seeing the alliance members peeking in and waiting for the two of them to answer, there was no way they could get out of this crisis with some ordinary excuse...

Oh, wait.

Just then, a good idea flashed through his mind.

(CH03) 0momo0: How about this??? I was following Miu around and we ran into some weird people!!! They attacked us, so we ended up forming an alliance and fighting, but

(CH03) 0momo0: after it was all over, Miu got mad at me for following him and beat me up

(CH03) Miu: What? I did??

Perhaps Miu had been somewhat tempted too, because after all that silence, this was the first thing he reacted to. Mo Yeonhoo excitedly continued.

(CH03) 0momo0: Yeah, yeah. What if we say you beat me up while saying I was creepy for following you all the way out there???

(CH03) 0momo0: You were beating me in the field, but you wanted to beat me more, so you brought me to alliance territory! To work me like a slave!

(CH03) Miu: What??

(CH03) 0momo0: The helicopter is, um...

(CH03) 0momo0: What if we say you personally brought me by helicopter because you wanted to beat me more as soon as possible?? I think everyone would buy it?! ℯℯ𝑙.

(CH03) Miu: Because I wanted to beat you more as soon as possible... the helicopter...?

This was it. With this, no one would suspect anything!

(CH03) 0momo0: Okay, so from now on!! Miu can heal me and hit me, then heal me and hit me again! Don’t you think everyone will believe it right away??

Mo Yeonhoo was proud. No matter who looked at it, did it not perfectly fit Miu’s usual personality?

(CH03) Miu: Why would I heal you and then hit you again? haha;; Do you think everyone would believe I hit you, Momo? haha..

(CH03) Miu: I feel like it doesn’t really make sense—

(CH03) 0momo0: Huh?? Of course they’ll believe it

At Miu’s reaction, as if asking whether that would really work, Mo Yeonhoo instead tilted his head.

(CH03) 0momo0: Everyone’s seen me get hit by you so many times, they’re probably used to it??

(CH03) 0momo0: And I’ve got experience!!

Mo Yeonhoo was confident he could do an excellent job pretending to get hit.

(CH03) Miu: Hold on

(CH03) 0momo0: Do you know how many times I’ve been hit by you hahaha!!!

(CH03) 0momo0: So if we say I got dragged to alliance territory to keep getting hit, everyone will believe it, right?? If anything, they’ll probably watch because they’ll be curious what creative new way you’ll use to torment me this time!!

(CH03) Miu: Hold ooon

Mo Yeonhoo was excited. It felt like, for once, his brain was working well.

(CH03) 0momo0: This is perfect, right?!

(CH03) 0momo0: I’ll proceed with this, okay??

(CH03) Miu: Momo..?

(CH03) Miu: I haven’t said a single word, so what are you talking about?

(CH03) Miu: Momo???

(CH03) Miu: Momo????????

Miu kept calling for Mo Yeonhoo, but he was too busy digging through his inventory to pay attention.

Is there anything that can drop my HP to rock bottom?

He felt like he should at least put on something like handcuffs, so he searched the shop, but there was no item like that.

Then I’ll have to do it through chat.

If so, his only option was to steer public opinion through chat. Mo Yeonhoo quickly tapped at the keyboard.

I’m sorrry, I was seriously wrong for following you around, so could you please stop hitting me now?ㅠㅠㅠ It’s so hard getting hit after taking treatment agentsㅠㅠㅠ The medicine is a waste tooㅠㅠ Please stop hitting me now and let me off just this once22.gif

Then, just as he was about to kneel like he had been thoroughly scolded, a single line from Miu popped up.

(Alliance) Miu: Wh-why we’re together?

Mo Yeonhoo was wondering at the slightly urgent tone, and then he doubted his own eyes.

(Alliance) Miu: Because I missed him, so I personally went to pick him up

(Alliance) 1Poop1: Who??

(Alliance) Miu: Momo

Mo Yeonhoo thought,

(Alliance) Miu: I missed Momo so much that I took the helicopter and went to get him

Are my eyes broken?

Maybe he had seen something wrong. But no matter how many times he rubbed his eyes, the letters did not disappear.

(Alliance) ShinJadu: Huh??? You, Miu??

(Alliance) ShinJadu: You went to pick him up... even taking a helicopter????

(Alliance) MouseTrap: Huh...?

(Alliance) FUNK: ????????????

(Alliance) MouseTrap: You went to pick up Momo??

(Alliance) 1Poop1: What the fu1k did I just see?

(Alliance) dude: ?

As expected, the alliance members were obviously startled too. One moment Miu had been grabbing him by the collar and fighting him while asking whether he was a spy, and now he was suddenly saying he had even mobilized a helicopter to pick up 0momo0.

(CH03) 0momo0: Gasp;;??

(CH03) 0momo0: Isn’t this bad??????

(CH03) Miu: I did well, right?

Mo Yeonhoo hurriedly tried to stop him, but Miu’s reaction was absurd. What exactly had he done well?

(CH03) 0momo0: No, this isn’t it

(CH03) 0momo0: Hurry and say it was all a lie lol and that you took the helicopter so you could beat me comfortably right away

(CH03) 0momo0: Or do you want to go to the field and hit me now??? I’m totally ready to get hit!!

(CH03) Miu: Why would I do that? haha

(CH03) 0momo0: But I’m a tool...?

(CH03) Miu: No

(CH03) Miu: No, you’re not

(CH03) Miu: A tool

(CH03) Miu: That’s not it

(CH03) Miu: How could you be a tool, Momo?

(CH03) 0momo0: I still think using me would be a good method..

(CH03) 0momo0: Why do you keep opposing it?

Mo Yeonhoo thought that the rational Miu might have another reason he himself had failed to consider, and waited for the next line.

And after a long silence, one chat from Miu appeared.

(CH03) Miu: Actually... I...

(CH03) Miu: I’ve been having a really hard time...
