Chapter 130. Victoria’s Heart-Pounding Date (2)
[To Victoria Frankenstein.
I have watched you from afar for a long time.
This time, I finally gathered my courage and decided to write you this letter with a great dream in mind.
I hope we can spend some meaningful time together while discussing the bright future we may build together.
If it is all right with you, I would like to meet tomorrow at 2 p.m. at a nearby café.]
After reading the entire letter, Yukgap looked up with a baffled expression.
“What is this?”
Victoria answered proudly.
“What do you mean? It’s a love letter!”
“I knew that saju app was right!”
She seemed completely convinced that the letter was a romantic confession addressed to her.
Yukgap suddenly pressed his nose to the paper and began sniffing it.
Sniff, sniff.
“What are you doing?”
Victoria asked in horror.
After checking the scent several times, Yukgap tilted his head.
“I don’t smell any chemicals.”
“Of course not! Why would a letter smell like chemicals?”
“Hmm.”
Yukgap still looked deeply suspicious.
He held the letter out to Seryun, who happened to be nearby.
“What do you think?”
Seryun’s reaction was not much different.
“It looks so ordinary that it’s even more suspicious.”
“Exactly, right?”
Yukgap immediately called out with renewed conviction.
“Scrap metal!”
[Why did you call me?]
Yukgap pointed at the letter.
“Victoria got something she claims is a love letter.”
“Check it.”
Robert practically snatched the paper from Victoria’s hand.
His eyes flashed as he ran every function he had over it.
[Metal detection, possibility of bacterial contamination, radioactive attack, cipher hidden through an anagram, and 203 additional possibilities have been examined...]
[No abnormalities detected.]
Yukgap’s eyes narrowed.
“So it really is just a normal letter?”
[According to my analysis, yes.]
A completely harmless, ordinary letter.
And it had been sent to Victoria.
Faced with this unprecedented situation, Yukgap, Seryun, and Robert all muttered at once.
“Suspicious.”
“Suspicious indeed.”
[Suspicious.]
Victoria immediately snapped.
“What is?!”
Without even hesitating, Robert raised the letter and deployed his flamethrower.
[I will simply incinerate it.]
[Something this ominous should not remain near the Doctor.]
“Aaaaaah! Stop, Robert!”
Victoria shrieked, snatched the letter back, and hugged it protectively against her chest.
Then she glared at the others.
“How can you belittle a letter filled with someone’s precious feelings like that?”
“You shameless people!”
Yukgap answered firmly.
“Victoria, calm down and think about this.”
“No sane man would send you a love letter.”
“What is that supposed to mean?!”
Seryun and Robert immediately added their own opinions.
“There must be a trap or conspiracy involved.”
“Otherwise, no one would send a letter like this.”
[I agree.]
[There is definitely some scheme behind it.]
[It should be exterminated.]
Despite their unanimous suspicion, Victoria remained stubborn.
She hugged the letter against herself and spoke dreamily.
“What scheme?”
“He must have been watching me from afar all this time and finally gathered the courage to write.”
“I understand his shy feelings.”
“When a woman is too perfect, men often lose confidence around her.”
The others stared coldly.
“I don’t think that’s it.”
“I don’t believe that is the case.”
[I also think that is incorrect.]
Unable to endure their skepticism any longer, Victoria shouted,
“Enough!”
“What would cold-hearted people like you know?”
“I’m going to meet my destined partner tomorrow, and that’s final!”
“They say it’s sweeter than candy... like flying through the sky... I wonder what love feels like...”
After receiving the mysterious letter, Victoria spent every hour humming love songs with a dreamy expression.
Yukgap and Seryun watched her without much enthusiasm.
“It’s hopeless.”
“Victoria’s reason has already wandered into a flower garden.”
“Nobody can stop her when she’s like this.”
“Tch. Love.”
Seryun clicked his tongue.
Yukgap looked at him curiously.
“But you’ve been married before.”
“It was complete madness.”
“I still regret it.”
Seryun glanced toward him.
“Mr. Yukgap, didn’t I see a woman chasing after you rather enthusiastically before?”
He was clearly talking about No. 7.
Yukgap grimaced.
“That woman almost ripped out my spine and cut off all my limbs.”
“Women in love can be rather intense.”
Apparently, Seryun had some experience with that himself.
Robert beeped and joined the conversation.
[It is all foolishness.]
[As the vanguard of superior machine civilization, I find the reproduction instinct created by fleshbag hormones idiotic.]
The two men nodded in agreement.
“You’re right.”
“It’s all stupid.”
“I agree.”
While the three were pointlessly discussing love, Victoria approached in a flowing floral dress.
She showed off her outfit.
“What do you think of this?”
Yukgap answered without even looking properly.
“Yeah. Pretty.”
“Put some feeling into it!”
Victoria scolded him.
Seryun smiled pleasantly.
“Doctor, you look good in anything, so you needn’t worry.”
“Hmm.”
Victoria smiled brightly.
“The reaction from a formerly married man really is different.”
She continued grinning to herself.
Yukgap looked at her doubtfully.
“Victoria, are you really going?”
“I’m only meeting him.”
“He gathered the courage to approach me, so it would be polite for me to respond.”
“If I meet him and don’t like him, I’ll simply say goodbye.”
“But if I feel like it’s fate...”
“If you feel like it’s fate?”
Victoria’s face turned red.
She answered shyly,
