[Protagonist's POV]
The road ahead felt hopeless.
Last time, I at least had the shield of passing out while it happened—but not this time.
I don't remember everything, but I'm pretty sure I took the lead here.
How am I supposed to shamelessly pretend this never happened?
'I… have to take responsibility, don't I?'
Given our positions, it's less me taking responsibility and more me ending up as a live-in son-in-law for the Sichuan Tang Clan—but either way, I'd have to own up somehow.
'But I need to return to the mountains someday… and this world might end before that… I've got to stop it first… ugh…'
My thoughts spiraled endlessly.
I knew back on Earth that screwing around could screw you over—but how could I have predicted this happening to me?
Glance.
I peeked at Dang Ayeong, still asleep beside me.
Snore…
"…"
It hit me again—she's really pretty.
Compared to Master, who I'm used to, she might fall short, but objectively? Top 0.1%, easy.
