I think they are becoming close friends, it doesn't seem flirtatious at all
Hopefully it truly goes that way! I've read quite a bunch that didn't, and I hated how they ruined either the characters or perfectly good plot of the stories.
I'm reading the novel that my browser translate and since it's not accurate I can tell you what I understand.
The?ML has an aura of calm and Friendly, apart from that, I understood that the ML becomes more attractive in the eyes of the girls, but they are aware that the ML isn't the frivolous kind nor do they want to be with him. It's more like admiring he's beauty behind the glasses. The protagonist doesn't go around thinking about romance either, so far he's very focused on doing good and restoring the world to the way it was before. Having clarified that, I come to the part where the manhwa goes.
SPOILER AND A LOT OF TEXT!!!!
To start, in manhwa It's mixed some things. The important thing is that the hunter who got lost in that world, the black-haired one, has been faithful to the female knight. I don't remember if it was the saint or the prince who comments as a monologue that Han (for short) (that's what they call him) has pushed away the girls of the village who have wanted to make some progress with him.
The protagonist became more involved with the prince's affair as he speaks directly to the saint first and then to the prince through ancient language and with pop-ups windows that they see. At first they believe that he was the god who planted the world tree but the ML explains to them that he's the gardener of the world tree since she (the Saintess) was going to offer him her body as a sacrifice since the true god was a promiscuous with having several types of races
To make a long story short, after clarifying that he was not a god, they knew that he was not just any gardener since he possessed a power such as a god. The black haired-one also communicates with the supposed gardener as the ML does not reveal who he really is. The black-haired asks him to return him to Korea and the ML explains to him that there is an option but it has its consequences, in the end he returns and reunites with his girlfriend, the female hunter who searched for him for a long time. It's a big scandal and they kiss for like 10 minutes non-stop even with everything and cameras filming them
Personally, if I'm not wrong cos I confuse the names, the girl who has the most chance of having something with the ML is the redhead-one cos before happenes everything about that village, she kind of has a change of attitude thanks to the ML and some situations she becomes more sincere with him, has more confidence in herself and her feelings. She kind of has peace of mind or something like that and doesn't want to beat the top ranker anymore cos she took a weight off her shoulders and doesn't want to beat the top ranker anymore (the black-haired dude). (I'm sorry, something like that I understood).
Sorry if it's a lot of text or if I'm not accurate since I'm reading the novel that's in its original language and is automatically translated by the browser's translator.
That's such a relief! Thank you so much for telling me! Really happy that things ended up going that way~~
There are some ?? Parts but I think they'll be solve in the upcoming chapters so that's fine. Since its still early and all. I hope this stays like this just and MC and his creature friends, no romance and tense drama. So far I have no signuficant remarks about this. Though the vibes between the MC and the knight girl is putting me off like ??? Wth? Doesn't she have a lover???Like the dude she's been looking for all this time??? So why is the vibe all so ?? Weird?
If there's anyone who read the novel kindly spoil me if this'll have some romance. I've read some comments here and they're a bit all over the place so I'm confused which is correct. Thanks!
