‘Seol Yubin?’

With a curious mind, I looked at her once again.

Bomb-like hairstyle, round glasses, and a loose school uniform. No matter where I looked, it was definitely Seol Yubin.

‘Why did she return to that appearance again?’

All the styling from back then is gone… No, wait.

I squinted my eyes and observed Seol Yubin.

‘Is that really Seol Yubin?’

Honestly, I was very skeptical.

‘Let’s think. The probability of Seol Yubin returning versus the probability of Seol Hwah appearing. Which one is higher?’

I considered both possibilities.

‘Since Seol Yubin didn’t say she would die unlike in the original work, she might have just come back.’

If the person over there changed her mind and returned as Seol Yubin, it would be good for me.

‘But the probability of it being Seol Hwah is not nonexistent.’

Just like she left a letter for me, Seol Yubin might have left something for her sister. Seeing that, Seol Hwah could be pretending to be Seol Yubin, just as in the original work.

In short, the possibility of the original work starting in earnest could also exist.

So, which one is she over there?

‘…Let’s just observe for now.’

I hid my body behind the wall and looked toward the open field.

“Hey, why have you been so annoying lately?”

Ponytail said sharply.

Since I couldn’t be sure of her identity, if I refer to the person over there as Seol Yubin… Seol Yubin didn’t respond and just lowered her head.

‘Her face isn’t visible because of her hair.’

Of course, since they are identical twins, it’s not possible to distinguish them by their faces, but anyway, an important clue became unusable.

“You used to be quiet like in the old days. Why are you bothering people and making them uncomfortable?”

‘Bothering’… that’s not a word that suits Seol Yubin at all. Then, is it Seol Hwah?

No. I can’t be certain. It might just be Ponytail’s way of tormenting others. There was always someone who, despite being weird themselves, would say something to perfectly normal people.

“Would you like me to scold you once?”

Despite the aggressive tone, all Ponytail did was stare quietly at Seol Yubin.

Fortunately or unfortunately, from what I felt, the bullying level of these kids wasn’t as high as in the petty world.

Maybe because the top villainess in the worldview, Yoo Hee-nabu, was like that… They all seemed cute for antagonists.

Of course, that doesn’t mean their actions aren’t considered bullying.

Anyway, it was time to make a decision. Ponytail seemed like she might cross the line soon.

‘Let’s intervene for now.’

Whether that person is Seol Yubin or Seol Hwah, helping wouldn’t hurt.

I moved my foot to go toward the open field.

That’s when it happened.

“Ck…”

Huh?

I paused for a moment.

‘Did I hear that wrong…?’

Instinctively, I looked at Seol Yubin’s face. Eyes hidden behind long bangs. Below that, red lips drew a curve.

…Why is she smiling like that?
The Seol Yubin I know wouldn’t laugh in such a situation, and she wouldn’t exude such a fierce aura.

It seemed like I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. Even the girl who was tormenting Seol Yubin stepped back in surprise.

“What, what’s wrong with you? Why are you laughing like that? It makes people uncomfortable!”

Upon hearing this, ‘Seol Yubin’ laughed a creepy laugh, and the eerie laughter echoed in the open field.

‘That can’t be…’

That’s when it happened.

[SYSTEM] [Updating the system. @_@] [Confirming the female lead ‘Seol Yuhwa.’] [Tutorial completed.] [Starting the main game.] [Title: Seol Yuhwa, ranked 0th in the world, disguised as an outcast instead of her twin brother?!]

The feeling of blood draining from my entire body came over me as the system window appeared before my eyes.

Seol Yubin… No, ‘Seol Yuhwa’ spoke.

“Heh. Have you said everything?”

I was doomed.

I sensed impending doom.

“What, what did you say?”

Ponytail, belatedly regaining her composure, shouted.

And belatedly regaining my composure, I thought.

‘What on earth happened?’

I desperately racked my brain to understand the situation.

‘Right, there’s no way that person is Seol Yubin.’

Originally, Seol Yubin did wear the disguise of an outcast, but she never went through bullying, just didn’t have friends. The situation was not like the one between that person and the kids.

‘What on earth happened during this time?’

I shouldn’t have intervened so rashly.

‘No, I can’t. Let’s observe the situation a bit more.’

I canceled my plan to step forward and hid behind the wall again.

Ponytail, with a flushed face, continued to speak.

“Have you said everything? Yeah, I’ve said everything! What are you going to do about it!”

Oh. How can even lines be so third-rate?

As someone who was expected to last for 8 weeks, I felt sorry for the kids who would later be retaliated against by Seol Yuhwa, who would reveal herself as the 0th rank.

‘Take it easy, kids.’

It was frustrating to watch kids walk down the path of destruction.
