I Became the Younger Sister of the Game's Villain - Chapter 2.1
‘Are you on patrol duty?’
He tilted his head.
The man in ragged clothing was an A+ ranked hunter serving as Lee Gyeom’s aide.
An A+ as an assistant to an SSS rank? It was like saying they had a sweet job.
Even after Lee Gyeom became the worst villain and Hwarang fell, I remembered that he continued to chase Lee Gyeom’s shadow.
‘Let’s skip unnecessary conversation events.’
I replied in an indifferent tone, showing little interest.
“Oh, I was just taking a stroll.”
I was about to place my thumb on the biometric machine, but the door opened before I could.
When I looked to the side, Gu Seo Bok was casually scrutinizing my security card with a nonchalant expression.
“Thank you.”
I greeted him indifferently, and then another door opened.
He smiled and stretched out his hand as if to tell me to go away.
I passed through the door with an uncomfortable expression.
Then we both entered the elevator.
There was a short silence as we descended to the first floor.
Gu Seo Bok was confidently following me.
“…Why are you following me?”
I finally asked in the lobby, annoyed.
Gu Seo Bok replied with even more trepidation.
“Isn’t it because I’m Miss’s bodyguard? You’re asking all of a sudden.”
Damn it.
I swallowed the profanity that was about to come out.
It wasn’t border duty; it was surveillance of Lee Moa.
It was a nasty world, a nasty world, what would happen to me, his E-class sister? It was no wonder I had a bodyguard instead of being stuck with him all day.
If that guy followed Lee Moa all the time, it was obvious that Lee Moa’s range of action would be restricted.
Not to mention the embarrassment of having to show him everything.
Especially considering where we’re going now…….
‘I have to shake him off.’
However, Gu Seo Bok didn’t know what I was thinking and continued to babble obliviously.
“The weather’s hot, just stay home, Miss. Going out will be a hassle. Or maybe the rooftop? How about having a picnic on the rooftop?”
But still, the windfall that had rolled right in front of me. If there’s prey to suck up, I should suck it up and discard it.
And on top of that, it was summer at this moment.
Not just summer but the middle of August.
I was contemplating how to walk under the scorching sun that seemed to melt my hair.
I forcefully pulled down the corners of my rising lips.
“Is that so? Well, whatever.”
“You’ve thought well. How about we buy some ice cream…”
“Do you have a car?”
“What?”
“It’s hot, right? Let’s cool off with the air conditioner.”
“No, Miss. Where on earth are you planning to go?”
“Let’s go. Is it in the underground parking lot?”
I pressed the elevator button, patting the helpless shoulders of the bewildered Gu Seo Bok who had come to a miserable stop.
I jerked my chin, and he grimaced and reluctantly followed me in.
It was similar to the expression of our dog, Coco,when I dragged our dog, Coco, back home for a bath.
‘I should laugh it off lightly; otherwise, he might cry saying he misses me.’
I chuckled lightly and stared directly ahead.
The silver-coated elevator doors flashed and slowly opened.

“Why are we suddenly here?”
Gu Seo Bbok, who fastened his seatbelt, suspiciously asked as he set the navigation.
Euljiro 3-ga.
It appeared to be an old and cozy neighborhood, but anyone who had stepped into the Awakening Realm would know.
It was an illegal potion distribution street.
From simple stun buffs to temporary awakening potions, there wasn’t a potion that wasn’t for sale.
Of course, the side effects varied widely.
In other words, it was an implied black market rampant with all kinds of heinous crimes.
Gu Seon Bok would naturally know about it.
Still, it was like beating around the bush.
Where I was going wasn’t a place that anyone knew about.
“I have some errands to run nearby.”
Saying only that, I closed my mouth firmly, and Gu Seon Bok, still skeptical, started the car.
A few minutes after leaving the guild, a cheerful notification sound chimed, and a new mission window popped up.
【MISSION】
▷ Enter and complete the portal. (※ Classification and rank do not matter.)
― Classification: Tutorial
Upon success, receive 1,000 won.
‘The progress seems the same.’
I gently moved the mission window away from my eyes.
Do you think I’m just going to casually go through the tutorial now?
Either way, I would inevitably enter the portal, so there was nothing to worry about.
With the gentle hum of the engine, the scenery outside quickly changed.
Slowly, instead of the bustling, glittering buildings, the streets began to reveal low-lying, shabby-looking storefronts.
I pressed my body against the window.
Familiar streets passed by.
Now was the chance to bounce…
‘Just once.’
A red light.
As the car came to a complete stop, I unbuckled my seatbelt and threw myself out of the car.
