Transmigrated as the Side Top used as an Emotional Trash Can - Chapter 26.1
The system will now be updated.
The Karma System has been unlocked.
“Karma?”
Wait, this novel had a concept called ‘karma’?
Wasn’t karma a Buddhist term? It was a word that often came up when explaining concepts like one’s deeds coming back to them and reincarnation. Had this world’s system been recording all my choices and deeds?
If so, could it become the key to ending this life I was living after transmigrating into this body?
The what now?
Affection Level 40%(Slowdown Penalty x2)
Karma -159,937(Acceleration Penalty x4)
I had wondered why the Affection Level was barely rising. I was horrified by the Affection Level shackled by something called a Slowdown Penalty and my Karma, which had fallen to an ominously low number.
“…Is it because I committed suicide so many times…?”
-159,937.
My Karma score was unfathomably low.
Negative one hundred fifty-nine thousand nine hundred thirty-seven. Saying it aloud made it feel even worse. I couldn’t bring myself to just kill myself right now just to see whether the number would rise.
On top of that, an Acceleration Penalty x4. Did that mean dying once had the same effect as dying four times? How could I possibly feel like dying when it was that frightening?
“Haa….”
I resolved not to die carelessly from now on. I would only die when I absolutely had to. My highest priority was maintaining the status quo without making that ominous number any worse. It would be even better if I could lower it somehow.
“Mm. Alright!”
I smiled brightly and spoke to Kim Jihwan and Cha Gwonhyeok.
“Guys, don’t fight anymore. You need to get along, okay-?”
I placed their hands on top of each other, acting like a tactless adult forcing two children who had fought to make up. The living room was still a complete mess from the broken plates, and Kim Jihwan was glaring at Cha Gwonhyeok as though he wanted to devour him, but we still had to settle things. We could clean up later, but an apology lost half its effectiveness if it wasn’t given immediately.
“…….”
“…….”
Neither of them looked particularly interested in reconciling. Their eyes showed no real remorse, and they only seemed eager to pull their hands away.
“Guys, aren’t you going to say anything to each other?”
Truthfully, I knew too.
Forcing people into physical contact to make them reconcile wasn’t particularly good. But I couldn’t think of any proper way to make them reconcile other than this. Adults must have had a hard time too. I couldn’t understand them at all back then, but now I understand them a little. Teachers.
“Jihwan-ah, I’m sorry.”
Cha Gwonhyeok spoke first and pulled Kim Jihwan into his arms.
Then pat, pat—
“You fucking bastard!”
He patted his ass.
No, how did Cha Gwonhyeok know exactly how to press Kim Jihwan’s berserk button? Kim Jihwan flew into a fit at the way his hand practically kneaded him.
“Don’t do that. Jihwan doesn’t like it.”
I grabbed the hand Cha Gwonhyeok was using to pat Kim Jihwan and pulled it hard. Then I patted the ass of Cha Gwonhyeok, who followed without resisting, and asked,
“Who does something like this while apologizing? See, you hate it too, do you?”
“Not really?”
Cha Gwonhyeok, are you an elementary school student? You looked mature, but you’re a complete contrarian, aren’t you? I was about to say something in disbelief, but the arm I had pulled happened to be his injured one, so I couldn’t.
“But Jihwan said it makes him uncomfortable. I’d like you to stop. Okay?”
I spoke without taking my eyes off the bandage on Cha Gwonhyeok’s arm, and I heard him laugh.
“You’d like that?”
I looked at Cha Gwonhyeok’s face as he repeated my words. Then a question occurred to me. Why had Cha Gwonhyeok suddenly taken out Kim Jihwan’s test paper and provoked him? Had he wanted Kim Jihwan to stay in the house? Then could the mess just now have also been…?
“Yeah, guys. Get along with each other!”
I deliberately shook off the suspicion and answered with exaggerated enthusiasm. Either way, I wanted the main top and the main bottom to get along.
“Hey, I’m telling you, that bastard is the one starting all the shit!”
“Jihwan-ah- I’ll apologize for him- Don’t be mad-.”
I hurriedly hugged Kim Jihwan as he fumed in frustration. His body felt a little warmer than before.
It seemed his indigestion was passing. I patted his back a few times, meaning for him not to get sick, and the situation quickly calmed down.
