“I have a good idea for us.”
“What is it?”
“How about going back to Jane?”
Kang couldn’t hide his surprised expression at Romi’s suggestion.
According to what San had heard, Romi was still unaware that he doubted Jane’s identity.
Being a child who struggled to hide her feelings, it was expected that if they happened to meet, her actions would be very unnatural.
So, as Romi might find it awkward, it was better not to know and avoid igniting unnecessary sparks.
In the end, the story was not that Romi doubted Jane’s identity, but rather she judged that it was safer outside for different reasons.
“Go to Jane’s?”
“Yes. It might be better to be together and keep an eye on the surroundings.”

Although Kang asked again, she nodded with confidence.
The problem was that there was already a prior engagement with Jane, which made Kang hesitate a bit after turning away.
Moreover, Kang was still in a situation where he had to doubt Jane’s identity, so meeting her again weighed heavily on his mind.
However, soon he thought it would be right to follow Romi’s opinion.
Rather than being restless in the unseen, it would be better to keep an eye on the situation by her side.
And above all, he trusted her to be by his side.
“Okay. Let’s go back.”
It wasn’t the terrifying girl who said she would dry eyeballs like candy.
If there was something to wish for, it was that Jane would not be harmed by Romi.
Deep down, Kang’s sincere wish was that she was truly human.

Romi, still oblivious, led the way with excitement.
Back at the park, Jane was drinking alone.
“Why are you drinking alone?”
When Kang approached quietly and asked, Jane looked up and gazed at her.
Then, without hiding her pleased expression, she answered.
“You know. I don’t have any friends.”
Jane’s self-deprecating smile was refreshing.
Seeing her like that, Kang naturally thought of San.
The appearance of the male Monma, who was no different from a human, made it impossible to gauge his identity just by appearance.
He had the complex feeling of leaving behind her and asking Jane.

“Romi, is it okay if I join you?”
“Sure, sure! Orc calls! I welcome you. But didn’t you say your guests were coming?”
“It’s too late, so we decided to see them next time.”
“Oh? That’s great!”
She clapped her hands happily.
“Sit here.”
Stepping back from where Jane was sitting, she patted the spot she had occupied with her palm.
The atmosphere was not as bad as Kang had expected.
Jane continued to chatter about the men she had met recently, but Romi seemed uninterested, paying no attention to her whether she was talking about double legs or octopus feet.
Jane seemed to have grasped Kang’s temperament by now and didn’t continue with uncomfortable topics.

“Oh, right. How is Director Han doing?”
“He’s fine.”
“Where did you go? You used to stick around all the time.”
Kang responded with a smile, and noticing that Jane had become quite perceptive in his absence, she didn’t ask any more questions.
She just extended a can of beer, urging him to drink.
“Let’s have a drink.”
“I’m sorry. I can’t drink; I’m on a diet.”
Kang politely declined, and Jane offered a beer can to Romi, who also refused.
“I’ll have banana milk!”
“Really? Then I’ll quickly go buy it at the convenience store. What about you, River? What do you want to drink?”
“I’m fine with water.”

She shook the water bottle in front of her.
“All right, I’ll quickly go and get banana milk. Is there anything else you need?”
“It’s okay.”
“Okay. Way up minute. Albi-bye.”
Jane swiftly returned with a straw stuck in a banana milk carton.
With a sweaty face, she smiled at Romi and offered it to her.
“Wow! Thank you!”
Romi quickly accepted the yellow container of milk.
However, as Jane stared intently at her, she cautiously asked, “Hey, baby.”
“Yes?”

“Can I pinch your cheek once? It’s too cute; I can’t resist.”
“Sure!”
Before she finished speaking, Romi offered her cheek.
Jane beamed with delight, tightened her hoodie, and held the cute face of the girl.
Then, with both hands, she gently shook Romi’s cheek to avoid hurting her.
“Woohoo! So cute! Where did this adorable creature come from?”
“Hehe! I was born in our mom’s belly!”
“Oh my gosh! A doll that talks?”
Romi laughed heartily at Jane’s reaction.
If she continued a little longer, she might have turned into a fairy and started shaking her tail.

“Now that we each have something to drink, shall we make a toast?”
Jane, who had opened the second can, raised her hand high and proposed a toast.
“For our friendship!”
“For our friendship!”
Romi quickly clinked her banana milk, and instead of responding, Kang, with a smile, brought the water bottle he was holding.
Jane, having emptied half of the beer can at once, shouted into the air.
“Ah, it feels so good!”
Indeed, when things get complicated, alcohol and friends are the best.
“I feel good too!”

Romi echoed her words.
When the two talkative girls met, time passed quickly.
And Romi and Jane seemed to like each other quite a bit.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
