The Support Ate it All Chapter 331: Mutual Destruction Eye (2)

As we all stepped out of the training hall, a luxury sedan was already waiting for us, summoned at so point unbeknownst to .

Behind the wheel was the cookie uncle I had seen earlier.

That’s the third ti today.

For so reason, I had a feeling I’d be seeing him often from now on.

Soon, the sedan glided forward smoothly and, after a short drive, dropped us off.

In front of us stood a row of buildings that looked like hotels, and even from a quick glance through the windows, they appeared extravagant.

It would probably be even more impressive from the inside.

After admiring the view for a mont, I turned to Seo Ye-in and asked,

“Where’s your house?”

“There.”

As expected, Seo Ye-in pointed at one of the buildings in front of us.

I asked a more specific question.

“Where exactly? What floor?”

“……?”

Seo Ye-in tilted her head, as if she didn’t understand the question, then pointed at the building again.

“My house.”

“You an that whole thing is your house?”

“Mhmm.”

It wasn’t just a room or a floor. It was the whole building.

As expected of the heiress to Hye-seong Group, the scale was on a different level.

And that wasn’t even the end of it.

Seo Ye-in’s finger shifted to the building next to it.

“My house.”

“That one too?”

Then the one next to that, and the one after that…

Apparently, the sloth had a lot of “houses”.

“But surely there’s a specific place where you sleep.”

– Shake shake.

When Seo Ye-in shook her head again, Ahn Jeong-mi carefully joined the conversation to offer an explanation.

“She usually sleeps in a different room each day.”

“Is there a particular reason for that?”

“No, she just goes wherever she feels like on any given day.”

“I see.”

She simply moved from room to room every night, while Ahn Jeong-mi and the other housekeepers took care of all the minor details.

It was extravagant, but with that level of wealth, there was no real reason she couldn’t live like that.

Curious again, I asked another question.

“You must have so important belongings. What do you do with those?”

At that, Seo Ye-in quietly raised one hand and showed the fluffy cloud bracelet on her wrist.

Then a tiger plushie poked its head out from her inventory, only to retreat right back in.

The Kim Ho Kim Ho Pot was probably included too.

I could guess what she ant to say.

She just carries around everything important with her.

It was a perfectly reasonable answer, so I nodded and followed the two of them inside.

Judging by the exterior, I had assud the interior would look like a hotel. But it turned out my guess was off the mark.

Not a hotel. More like a palace.

The room was far too luxurious for a single person to live in.

It made the dorms at Dragon Slayer Academy look shabby in comparison.

Still, Seo Ye-in seed completely unfazed by this palace-like room and crossed it without a second thought.

Then, after glancing around the room as if inspecting sothing, she displayed the tiger plushie in a very noticeable spot.

Looks like that took priority over everything else.

In any case, I figured I’d seen enough and turned to Ahn Jeong-mi to ask,

“It’s impressive. Where’s my room?”

“Your room should be similar, Kim Ho-nim. I’ll guide you.”

Just as I was about to step out of the room, Seo Ye-in gently grabbed my arm.

“Here.”

“?”

“Our room.”

Ahn Jeong-mi’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Young miss, what do you an by that?”

“Kim Ho pillow.”

“……?”

“Helps sleep.”

Ahn Jeong-mi furrowed her brow even more and turned her gaze toward .

“Kim Ho-nim, I believe this part requires so explanation.”

“I was going to explain it anyway.”

If we left the explanation to One-Word Sloth, it would only lead to more misunderstandings.

I briefly went over the events related to the Kim Ho pillow.

I made it clear that all we did was sleep next to each other. And nothing more.

After hearing the full story, Ahn Jeong-mi let out a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be what I was worried about. Still, I’d appreciate it if you refrained from sleeping together. At least while you’re staying here.”

“Can’t refrain.”

But instead of letting go of my arm, Seo Ye-in clung to it even tighter.

Ahn Jeong-mi looked troubled and gently tried to persuade her.

“Young miss, as a mber of the Hye-seong Group, you should be at least sowhat aware of how others may perceive you. There’s nothing good about rumors spreading that you sleep in the sa room with Kim Ho-nim every night.”

“Don’t care.”

Even so, Seo Ye-in was completely unyielding.

She clearly didn’t care in the slightest whether rumors spread or not.

The two continued to argue.

“Young miss.”

“Can’t sleep without him.”

“Please don’t lie. We all know you sleep just fine.”

“Without him, I stay up all night.”

“……!”

That last remark seed to catch Ahn Jeong-mi off guard. Her eyes widened slightly.

Did the human sloth just say she’d stay up all night?

Was the Kim Ho pillow really that important to her?

Of course, from my point of view, that was an obvious bluff.

If it ca down to an all-night standoff, she’d probably last twenty minutes at most before falling asleep.

And if she couldn’t sleep without , what was she planning to do for the rest of sumr break after I left?

It seed Ahn Jeong-mi had thought that far as well. She wasn’t a fool, after all.

Still, perhaps she believed there had to be so reason why Seo Ye-in was being so stubborn, because her stance began to soften little by little.

“Wouldn’t this be a burden for Kim Ho-nim as well?”

“It’s not a burden.”

Both of them turned to look at at the sa ti.

It felt like they were silently asking to confirm who was telling the truth.

Of course, I was on Seo Ye-in’s side no matter what, so my answer had already been decided.

“I’m fine with it. As I ntioned, this isn’t the first or second ti we’ve done this.”

“…I see.”

“Still, I think it’d be good to attach a few conditions this ti.”

The Kim Ho pillow was a limited-ti item.

Even during the sester, I’d only let her use it for a few days. And only in exchange for intense training.

Now, we weren’t talking about just a few days but potentially a whole month of sleeping together. There had to be so trade-off.

“It’s nothing too difficult. Just… train diligently every day, okay?”

“Okay.”

“And after I leave, make sure you attend all your ntoring sessions properly, okay?”

“……”

At that, Seo Ye-in quietly looked away.

She was probably already thinking about slacking off as soon as I left.

I t her gaze again and asked firmly,

“You’re going to take your ntoring seriously, right?”

“…okay.”

“And keep your mana cultivation going even while you sleep.”

Seo Ye-in’s mana control was far better than I’d expected. It was good enough that she could maintain her cultivation even while sleeping.

A mode I called “passive sloth”.

Of course, that mode still required a bare minimum of willpower on her part, which is why I was getting her verbal commitnt in advance.

Once again, she didn’t look too thrilled about it, but she didn’t really have a choice.

All she could do was nod.

After wrapping up the negotiation, I looked at Ahn Jeong-mi. From the look in her eyes, it seed like this was at least sowhat acceptable to her.

Still, as if sothing continued to weigh on her mind, she couldn’t quite shake off her troubled expression.

“Considering what you’ve shown , Kim Ho-nim, I think I can trust you. But I still have an obligation to report this matter.”

“I understand.”

It wasn’t as if Ahn Jeong-mi had done anything wrong.

If anything, her only cri was choosing an extre profession like being a butler as her career.

Chairman Seo and Father Seo were her legal guardians, and their influence within the group was beyond question.

Which ant that silencing Ahn Jeong-mi was entirely out of the question, and the matter of the Kim Ho pillow would inevitably be reported.

And as for how they would react, there was no way to know yet.

They might brush it off casually, or they might blow up in anger and co storming over.

***

That night, I fulfilled my role as the Kim Ho pillow and got so rest.

The next day.

After waking up and grabbing a quick bite, we jumped straight into training.

Tudududu!

Seo Ye-in fired her magic gun in rapid bursts, and I dodged and countered her attacks.

Just like the day before, I cast Mutual Destruction Eye relentlessly every ti the one-minute cooldown reset.

Whether the lucky charm was still going strong or not, nine tis out of ten, she was poisoned and then the status effect was removed.

And about once in ten, she got hit with either weathering or freezing.

Flaaash!

Light burst around Seo Ye-in’s body, and the ice that had covered her ankles lted away like snow under the sun.

It was a new debuff-removal skill she had learned.

[Purification (F)]

▷Removes status effects with a certain probability.

▷Cooldown: 3 minutes

Here, the term “certain probability” varied depending on the rank difference between Purification and the debuff, as well as how many tis a particular debuff was stacked.

For example, if an F-rank Purification could remove an F-rank Freezing with 100% certainty, then it had an 80% chance of removing an E-rank Freezing.

Since Weathering was a rare debuff, its removal chance was probably set slightly lower.

If it was stacked twice or three tis, the chance would drop even further.

If the probability failed and the removal attempt didn’t succeed, she had to wait out the three-minute cooldown before trying again.

Of course, in the anti, she would be affected by the debuff.

But she’s blessed just using it.

Even a 33% chance activated almost ten tis in a row. So what difference did 70% or 80% make?

Every ti she used Purification, it was practically a guaranteed debuff removal.

Even better.

Constant debuff removal ant uninterrupted combat.

And that also ant she could keep pushing forward with her rank training.

Moreover, during the duel, it wasn’t like I was only using Mutual Destruction Eye.

Seo Ye-in kept the rank training going by mixing in a variety of Marksman skills like Impact Bullet, Feather Step, and Ejection, while I rotated through the three sub-skills of Spiral Explosion.

Whooosh—!

A gust of wind charged with physical force blew through, but Seo Ye-in moved with its flow, stepping lightly with Feather Step.

Her movent was fluid, and her aim remained steady.

Tudududu—!

***

After sparring for quite so ti, we took a break over lunch.

While we were resting, Ahn Jeong-mi casually ntioned sothing.

Father Seo wanted to see us.

“So the report did go through after all.

It was sothing we’d have to face eventually, so we headed back to the workshop.

Father Seo wasn’t in the ssy room we’d seen yesterday. This ti, he was waiting in a room that resembled a neatly organized eting space.

Was he about to bring up sothing important?

“Good afternoon.”

I gave a polite bow as I stepped inside.

He glanced over and Seo Ye-in in turn, then spoke in a detached tone.

“Sit down.”

We sat around the table as instructed, while Ahn Jeong-mi blended into the wall, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.

Still, the tension in her eyes as she looked our way was unmistakable.

Soon, Father Seo began rummaging through his inventory.

What he pulled out, contrary to my expectations, was a family-friendly mini-ga for everyone to play together.

“Let’s play.”

Now that I looked at it, it seed he hadn’t called us in to question or interrogate us. He was simply bored.

Maybe he didn’t care much about the Kim Ho Pillow incident after all.

Or perhaps he did care but wanted to keep watching a little longer.

There was still nearly a month left, after all.

“…….!”

Seo Ye-in had shown no sign of worry from the beginning, and now, all her attention seed to be on the mini-ga. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

This was definitely sothing the father and daughter had in common.

The whole Kim Ho Pillow issue felt like it had just fizzled out, but it didn’t seem like I needed to bring it up myself.

I’ll just give him what he wants.

As the mini-ga demon king, I decided to give it my all.

Even if my opponent was the father of the house, the word “rcy” didn’t exist in my vocabulary.

I completely destroyed the Seo family duo without hesitation.
