A reader who began a dream

Chapter 9.Team Bonding(1)

There was a knock at my door.

[W h o I s I t?]

Maybe it was Hannah,the fox girl that delivered the Infinite Space Dimension Coat to me the last time.

"Give me a minute!"

I carefully placed aside the book that I was reading while lying on my bed.

I opened the fragile looking but surprisingly sturdy wooden door.

The moment I made eye contact with that pair of golden eyes,I shut it close.

[W h o I s I t?]

Hestion.

[Incarnation of the First Star] came directly to me.

A part of me wanted to call it harassment but I was the one who essentially told him to come find me if he could accept my bargain.

I must have been successful.

"Are you not going to invite me in?I'm also holding the kimchi that Jang-mi packed for you,it would be a shame if it were to spoil."

The kimchi did nothing wrong.

I slowly opened the door wide enough to get a look at him.

He was wearing a black turtleneck ,black pants and a winters jacket.

Is he cold?

He held up the carefully wrapped kimchi containers with a wide smile.

Can I even let him in my room?

"Let's talk in the common room,my room is messy right now."

My room was honestly anything but messy.

Rather than a room,I was given a whole apartment worth of space.

There was a living room with a sofa,multiple bedrooms and a kitchen.

Numerous bookshelves were in each area,there was even a balcony with a simulated view of a modern city.

A house like this in Seoul would be impossible for me to ever afford.

"Are you sure?There might be quite a lot of prying eyes in the common room."

What we would be discussing is not something I want others to hear.

I'll reluctantly put my faith in this man for now.

I opened the door wider to let him in.

"I don't have anything to offer you."

"It's fine.I won't be here for long."

He looked around for a moment before setting on the one seater sofa.

"You have a nice room."

"......I'm thankful for it."

Sometimes I would return to my room to find luxurious snacks on my table.

And the solitude the room brings makes me more comfortable.

"I'm a bit busy,so let's settle this first."

He wasn't such a busy person that he didn't have time to pull worthless pranks.

"I'll meet your conditions but with one of my own."

A condition of his own?

"What is it?"

"Join me and the rest of the team for a recreational activity,of course,you will gain a reward for it."

That condition was fairly doable.
