Chapter 460: Cho Hyejin’s Instruction Manual (5)

The reason for bringing Lee Jihye in was obvious.

She was the one I could describe as the most feminine by my standards.

If I were to think about the people around me when it came to that regard, she was the first to come to mind.

Cha Hee-ra pursued a comfortable style in the first place, and Elena wore looks that didn’t require makeup. Meanwhile, Yuno Kasugano adhered to the olden style. It was unbelievable that she had come from the modern age.

Jung Hayan seemed to be working very hard, but I felt like it wasn’t enough. It felt like she was a college student who was just starting to dress-up.

If I had to categorize her, Dialugia would be similar to Elena.

They weren’t humans to start with, so it wasn’t appropriate to comment about them in the same standard.

Sun Hee-young was also one of the most ideal candidates.

Her effortless style was enough to capture many men’s hearts, but…

‘It doesn’t suit this occasion.’

That was the problem.

Since I had Bitch-erella’s mother, Lee Jihye, I didn’t have to call in Sun Hee-young.

Lee Jihye was a master of transformation, almost a master of disguise.

I wasn’t in a position to evaluate someone else’s appearance, but if I were, I would say Lee Jihye was a fairly common person.

Unlike the many monsters around me, she was cute. She wasn’t as sensual as Cha Hee-ra, and she wasn’t as beautiful as Yuno Kasugano. I couldn’t even compare her with Dialugia and Elena.

If Elena was was a peacock, Lee Jihye was a baby sparrow.

Still, there wasn’t that big of a difference when she was close to them. It meant that Lee Jihye was beautiful and attractive enough.

She wasn’t born with colorful, beautiful feathers like some, but the baby bird knew better than anyone how to bring her colorful feathers and inflate her body.

I didn’t know if I felt that way because of Lee Jihye’s personality or because she was my soul mate, but she was like that, at least in my eyes.

She undeniably had a great ability.

Even during the tutorial, she looked relatively fine. That meant she was always taking care of herself, even in a place where there was no washroom.

As I recalled the past, I felt chills running down my spine.

‘What is it, really?’

I didn’t know if everyone was like that in the first place, but at least Lee Jihye never stopped taking care of and managing herself.

She was someone who understood better than anyone else that one’s appearance and personality attracted people. There was no way she would stay still after seeing Cho Hyejin, who had been in an unkempt state for years.

Her words, which popped out from the bottom of her heart, were enough to hurt Cho Hyejin’s ambiguous feelings.

“Are you really a woman?”

“If you’re asking that biologically, that’s right. I’m a…”

“That’s not what I mean. Well, honestly, it’s not something to condemn… every person has a different lifestyle. There are people like you, and there are people different from you. Still, I’m more surprised to see that it seems you live a very different life from me. Oh! I don’t think you’re not interested at all. I see you also take care of your nails.”

“This is an obstacle to training…”

“…”

“…”

“A-anyway, you’re a total mess. I came here because Kiyoung asked me… Still, since you’re already pretty, you’ll look much better than before with just a little touch. Of course, please keep this a secret from Yeon-joo. I don’t feel comfortable because it seems that I’m helping her rival. Do you usually not wear any makeup?”

“Doesn’t it get erased if I sweat, anyway?”

“There’s no such thing as a waterproof product here, but you shouldn’t ignore magic. Even with simple coating magic, that much can be secured. I think you just weren’t interested. There are makeup shops all over Lindel, and you haven’t been to any of them? Black Swan also launched a lot of fashion-related shops…”

“Yes. I’m sorry, but I don’t have much time for that.”

“Saying that you don’t have time is just an excuse. You can wake up one hour early every day and sleep 30 minutes later. Next time, I’ll have to take you to the shop. There are many things that don’t exist here, but most of them can be replaced. Then… let’s see. I think it would be better to apply a little matte on the lips… and what’s the bluish armor over there? Do you usually wear things like that? Even though this is just an armor, you should pay attention to it a little…”

“Don’t you think the color is pretty?”

“No. It’s not pretty. It looks like the color of a constipated Bonobono’s face.”

“This is the armor that Ye-ri chose with me.”

‘Whew… Kim Ye-ri! Satan is an angel compared to that trash.’

I had been saying that the old-fashioned armor was bothering me.

I didn’t expect that Kim Ye-ri had chosen it with her, but I could be sure that she was trying to play a trick on Cho Hyejin.

If not, she must’ve been born with desperate luck, too.

That aside, the situation wasn’t bad.

I didn’t know what kind of diagnosis Lee Jihye was making, but it seemed to be working.

The way she threw a powerful fact as soon as she came in was enough to make me commend her.

Lee Jihye’s way of talking with confidence also seemed to have the effect of meeting an expert.

In reality, Lee Jihye was an expert, so I thought it wasn’t unreasonable for Cho Hyejin to show that attitude.

“Is there any other schedule today?”

“I have my afternoon training. After that, I have a few tasks to deal with.”

“Afternoon training, it would be better to remove that.”

“What?”

“I told you that it would be better to remove that. Just follow my instructions for now. I will tell give you a step-by-step guide, starting from how to take a bath properly. I need to see what kind of products you’re using that’s managed to put your hair in this condition. Oppa, wait here for a moment.”

“Okay.”

It didn’t take long for Lee Jihye to take her to the bathroom, holding tightly to her hand.

The problem was that I could keep hearing their voices.

“You need to change your underwear as well. This kind of design is a bit… to your age. Anyone who sees this will be frightened and run away. I would really hate it if I were a man.”

“…”

“And there seems to be a lot of things for me to handle. Stand still.”

“W-Where are you touching?”

“Be still.”

“Don’t touch it! Don’t touch it! I don’t want to be still anymore.”

“I’m not doing this because I like it, alright?! I’m trying to help, so stay quiet.”

“Ouch!”

I could hear the screams of someone in the throes of death and her weeping.

I didn’t know what was going on, but Cho Hyejin’s screaming and Lee Jihye’s voice reminded me of some kind of hentai.

A little bit of time had before they returned. Lee Jihye’s face was filled with a sense of accomplishment, while Cho Hyejin looked like she was in pain.

The expert sat Cho Hyejin behind the dressing table began to speak again, all while showing off her skills.

It might be a little exaggerated, but it was visible that she was changing in real-time.

“I only brought the products I use, for now. There are several expensive ones mixed with them. I can’t help you every time, so it’s better to learn to do it yourself. Oh, I should start with your hair first. I won’t cut much. I’ll only give you a trim. Make some waves.”

“Okay.”

“I’ll also clean up your eyebrows. I’ll leave the line, so you can look carefully and draw while following.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Open your mouth slightly. Right…”

“Hmm…”

“I think something natural would be better than putting anything too much. I’m envious of people that already look pretty without having to do anything. Your skin is also really nice. There’s elasticity, maybe because you exercise a lot? And above all, your body is really awesome. I also take care of mine by working out, but… yours is just on a whole other level. The proportions are good, and if you were on Earth, you could’ve been a model. I’m not kidding.”

“T-Thank you for your words.”

“You don’t have to be shy. Instead, you have to be confident. Pretty people need to show that they are pretty. You’ll face some difficulties, but your life will be more comfortable if you use it well. Lookism is the same, regardless of gender or place. It would be really easy to flirt with a man with your face.”

“…”

I couldn’t understand what on earth she was talking about.

She kept using unknown terms in her explanation. It wasn’t easy to understand her from my point of view.

One thing was for certain. Lee Jihye was doing really well.

Witnessing Cho Hyejin change dramatically was enough for my jaw to drop open.

‘I understand why Yulha watched makeup YouTubers.’

It was fun to watch their transformations.

Since Lee Jihye constantly talked, there weren’t any awkward silence.

The way she looked as if she was drawing a picture made me recall Bob Ross.

‘If she turns to a real YouTuber, she would succeed.’

Of course, Cho Hyejin’s appearance that kept changing was interesting enough to watch.

After very little time, the guild staff began to come into the room with lots of clothes.

It was the first time I had ever seen dozens of large hangers.

It didn’t fit with Cho Hyejin’s room, which had only one closet.

The large room was full of clothes. There were so many that it was enough to divide into two sides.

Actually, I couldn’t even see their faces anymore.

It was only possible to know that the preparations were about to end with their voices.

“Stand up. Try on some clothes. Do you have any clothes you like?”

“Not exactly… if I had to pick one, how about t-that blue dress?”

“Why do you like blue so much? You also have to start choosing casual clothes besides dresses. Isn’t it weird to work wearing a dress? You should wear clothes that suit the occasion. Let’s think about that. Let’s go simple rather than exaggerated. It’ll look much cleaner. It’s my personal taste, but honestly, I don’t like excessive things. Some people do things like weird decorations on their hairs, but that’s completely out. They’re not even cosplaying… you can top off the look with only the most basic accessories or bags. Stand up for a second and raise your arms. Take off all the clothes you’re wearing.”

“But…”

“He can’t see you from that side anyway. I’ll try a few on you. Right. Hmm…”

“This…”

“This fits you pretty well. It’s pretty enough. It’s quite enough for me to be jealous.”

“Is that true?”

“Why would I lie? It’ll definitely work.”

“But…”

“Now, let’s take a look. Oppa, it’s all done. Come and see.”

“Okay.”

As I moved through the piles of numerous clothes, Cho Hyejin’s face slowly came into view.

There was no way to express what I thought.

One thing was for sure. She looked really beautiful.

She had slightly wavy hair and had a blouse and a skirt on. It was a simple composition with no flashiness, but my jaw still dropped. Even her simple necklace went very well with her clothes.

‘How does her face look?’

There was already a feeling of her being pretty, but the transformation with magic made it hard to believe that she was the same person.

Lee Jihye nodded proudly next to her as if to say she’s satisfied with the output.

Her expression was almost like she cleared a heroic-grade quest.

“What do you think?”

“She’s beautiful.”

“If you’re trying to make fun of…”

“No. You look really beautiful. Haven’t you seen yourself in the mirror yet?”

“Not in detail…”

“Then take a look. You’ll know if I’m joking or not.”

I could bet she would be the one most surprised.

‘You can see Hyunsung now, hey.’
