Chapter Index

    When the other person has something to say to me.

    I am the type of person who calmly waits for the other person to speak comfortably.

    I guess that’s why I’m holding back like that because it’s a difficult word to say.

    however.

    “Aunt, here’s an extra bottle of soju!”

    “… … .”

    Isn’t this a bit much?

    I came to a pork belly restaurant to have dinner, but he wasn’t eating meat and was just drinking a lot.

    The meat hasn’t even been cooked yet, so why drink the whole bottle?

    “Why don’t you drink it a little slower?”

    I thought it wouldn’t work and said something, and his mood calmed down even more.

    There was no particular answer, but the speed at which he lifted the soju glass seemed to be slower than before.

    weird.

    Why are you so good at listening without saying anything?

    “If you drink alcohol, you will lose your stomach, so drink it when the meat is finished cooking.”

    I stopped him once more to see if he could hear this too, and then he put down the soju glass he was holding.

    Wow, is this really strange?

    He has a dissatisfied expression on his face but doesn’t utter a word.

    What on earth do you want to say that makes you kill your temper like that?

    I was curious, so I almost asked him if he was so quiet because of his personality, his temperament, and what he wanted to say.

    Let’s be patient.

    Anyway, I have a lot of time, and if I have to say something, I will say it at any time.

    Let’s not forget.

    Relaxation and composure are the best weapons to ensure that you do not lose your edge in human relationships.

    So, let’s fill our bellies first.

    Chii Iik-

    The pork belly that was cooking on the grill making the world’s most pleasant sound was cut into bite-sized pieces and piled one by one on the lid of Shin Yujeong’s rice bowl.

    Then the guy said with a shocked expression.

    “Hey, if you give me all this, what are you going to eat?”

    “ah.”

    Oops.

    Inadvertently, old habits came out.

    Whenever the family gathered together to eat grilled meat, perhaps because it was my job to take care of my wife and daughter, I quite naturally gave the meat to Shin Yu-jeong.

    “ruler.”

    He takes half of the meat off the lid and hands it to me.

    Although he may be a self-willed snob, when you look at him like this, he doesn’t seem to be a very shabby person.

    The meal began with the meat cut in half.

    Although there was a lot of chatter around us, our table was strangely quiet.

    It was obvious that he was thinking about what to say while eating, so I just left him alone.

    The only activities that are exchanged are sharing grilled meat and exchanging drinks.

    Around this time, two empty soju bottles were placed side by side on the table.

    “hey… “Can I ask one question?”

    Finally, the guy opened his mouth.

    “What?”

    “That’s it… .”

    The guy who takes a break once again.

    Then, biting his lip slightly, he opens his mouth again.

    “Because it’s an old story? Something you might not want to remember… .”

    “The old days I don’t want to remember… .”

    Memories that I don’t necessarily want to bring up come to mind just by thinking about them.

    Although this body’s life was truly amazing, it was also the most difficult time.

    “When you were in high school?”

    “… uh.”

    Shin Yu-jeong’s complexion becomes even more blurred.

    Just by looking at his face, he would think it wasn’t me, but a memory he didn’t want to remember.

    what… , In some ways, it may be natural that he was a little more stung than me.

    The school violence suffered by this body is closely related to it.

    But does he know that?

    “So what do you want to ask?”

    “that… , Phew.”

    I stop talking again and take a sip of my drink.

    It must be quite frustrating to see this guy who is so lazy at doing most things.

    Two drunken, hazy eyes turn towards me.

    “It was really hard back then, wasn’t it?”

    “It did.”

    Here, it would be correct to answer not with myself, but with the memories that remain in this body.

    The guy’s face gradually darkened at his simple but immediate answer without hesitation.

    If you were going to have such a hard time, why did you bring it up?

    Ah, I understand.

    Even though it wasn’t something I experienced, it happened in this body, but I treated it too much like a stranger so I couldn’t understand it.

    “Do you care?”

    “uh? uh… , yes.”

    That’s surprising.

    He’s a pretty cool guy, so I didn’t think he’d care about that one bit.

    I don’t know how to say it here.

    Although it became an indirect experience to some extent as I completely absorbed the memories this body experienced.

    Does it feel like there is less empathy because there is no pain or suffering left, just a scene?

    “Don’t worry too much.”

    “Uh, huh?”

    “Even though you are the main reason Kim Jeong-hoon started harassing me, it’s just that Kim Jeong-hoon is a bad bastard and you didn’t do anything wrong.”

    “… what?”

    what.

    The atmosphere suddenly turned grim.

    On the other hand, I said this because I didn’t want him to feel guilty about something like that, but was there anything wrong with what I just said?

    “The reason that bastard Kim Jeong-hoon bullied you… , It’s because of me?”

    … You didn’t know?

    Since you brought up the story when you were in high school, I thought you knew.

    but… , Every time Kim Jeong-hoon beat up this body, he threatened Shin Yu-jeong that if she found out why he was tormenting her, your life would end there, so you must not have known until now.

    But it’s just as strange.

    Then why on earth was he lowering his head like a criminal?

    “say.”

    Shin Yoo-jeong has a cruel expression on her face, as if she would go and kill him at any moment.

    I think I said the wrong thing.

    “Say it.”

    The hand holding the soju glass gradually gains strength.

    I immediately reached out, grabbed his arm, and pulled out the soju glass he was holding inside.

    “Just calm down first.”

    “How should I calm down?”

    … I know.

    Honestly, how many people can calm down in this situation?

    First of all, I don’t think I can do it.

    “uh… “Let’s take a deep breath first.”

    “So, since this is the extent of it, please speak quickly.”

    A strange picture is drawn in my mind.

    If you can properly control his anger, it may be a very pleasant revenge… ?

    “Make one promise to me.”

    “What promise in this situation?”

    “No matter how angry you are after hearing what I said, I will never go visit him today. “At least call me or meet me the next day after you sober up.”

    Or maybe it’s because I feel like I’m going to smash Kim Jeong-hoon’s pot in a fit of rage.

    The guy’s worries didn’t last as long as he thought.

    “good.”

    Don’t you think it will make any difference whether you go now or the day after you wake up?

    But it will be very different.

    Alcohol naturally makes people’s emotions more intense than necessary.

    “therefore… , let me tell you from when I first got involved with this guy… .”

    I really only told the truth.

    He recited the memories that came to mind through a third person’s perspective.

    Why did he start to hate me so much, and why did he beat me up so much?

    There is no reason to exaggerate.

    Just the fact that comes to mind makes me think that Kim Jeong-hoon is a piece of trash with no room for rehabilitation.

    Look at it now.

    bang!

    “김정훈, 이 개새끼… !”

    Shin Yu-jeong, who heard the whole story, got so angry that she was hitting the table.

    But that’s a bit of a nuisance… .

    Everyone is staring.

    “Let’s go out first. “Everyone looks at us in shock.”

    As Shin Yu-jeong looks around with raised eyes, people’s heads return to their original positions as if they had never done that before.

    I know people are scary… .

    I was wondering what would happen if he made a fuss about not going, but even though it was rough, he got up anyway.

    I was about to go to the counter and pay straight away, but this guy suddenly barged in.

    “I’ll pay, get out!”

    “… … .”

    Why are you so strict and angry?

    … Still, I ate it well.

    “Ahhhh! Fuck you bastard!”

    I shook my head as I looked at the guy who was swearing loudly as soon as he got out.

    I spoke vaguely to the owner, who was very scared.

    “He’s just a little sharp because it’s that day. “As a woman like you, please understand.”

    “The student must be having a hard time… .”

    One coin has been accumulated.

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    After class is over.

    I refused Lim Na-eun’s offer to go home together and stayed at school.

    Shin Yoo-jeong… , He finished class two hours earlier than me and went straight home.

    He’s probably going to meet Kim Jeong-hoon.

    Before entering the last class, I caught a glimpse of the guy leaving, and the poison was on his face.

    It’s not enough to kill anyone like yesterday… , Is it enough to make a kneading sound?

    When I think of Kim Jeong-hoon, who will soon be killed by Shin Yu-jeong, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War naturally comes to mind.

    Road murder.

    Is there any other word more fitting than this right now?

    “I would have sent one guy to the goal… .”

    I have to do my own thing.

    The reason I refused to go home with Na-eun Lim today was because I wanted to train my body for the first time in a long time.

    I heard that the sports team room at a Korean university is very well decorated, but I have never been there yet.

    Just by looking at that, you can see how lazy I have been.

    As the number of students is large, there are multiple gymnasiums.

    Among them, I chose the one closest to the magic department and went there.

    I changed into the exercise clothes provided free of charge in the gymnasium and went inside.

    A feast of countless exercise equipment unfolding before your eyes.

    There are a lot of new equipment that cannot even be compared to the gym you go to to lose weight.

    Ah, but I don’t think it will be delicious.

    From ancient times until now.

    I have never enjoyed exercise before.

    I just forced myself to do it to survive and become stronger.

    “Ugh… “It’s dark before my eyes.”

    The source of a man’s strength is his lower body.

    After doing a light warm-up exercise, I sit on a leg extension machine to stretch my lower body first and use the magic of gravity to lift an infinitely heavy roll pad with difficulty.

    “Whoop, whoop…” !”

    Across from me, a hell spear caught my eye intensely.

    Slightly faded blonde hair, blue eyes sparkling with intense fighting spirit.

    I saw this face somewhere… ?

    “ah.”

    I remembered.

    Elena Mikhailova Dobreva.

    The tank talent that I had been drooling over so much and was also missing!

    The world is so small.

    I never thought we would meet like this.

    “Huh, huh… !”

    Without even realizing it, I am blankly watching her exercise in a combative manner.

    The weight you lift when doing a bench press is considerable.

    That big disk weighs about 150kg… , 900kg in total, six pieces, three on each side.

    “Umm, um.”

    Check your body naturally.

    It’s not overly noticeable because it’s a woman’s body, but the muscles twitch every time I push up the barbell.

    “Seuuu… .”

    Ah, this is so disappointing.

    If you are only a freshman and have that level of strength and stamina, you are at least in the top ranks among tanks.

    If you grow it well, I think you’ll end up with something truly amazing… .

    I was looking at her, groaning out of frustration, and suddenly our eyes met.

    “… … .”

    A moment of silence.

    thud!

    Elena put down the barbell, shook off her hands, and walked straight towards me, staring at me.

    She comes close and glares at me, pointing with her index finger.

    “Dang Xun.”

    Slightly sloppy tone of voice.

    “I don’t keep looking. This is manners.”

    oh my.

    I guess I was interfering with my exercise because I was staring.

    I felt sorry and tried to apologize right away, but she spoke a beat faster.

    “Me, no. An easy person. If you ignore someone who is foreign, you will get hurt, big nose. If you just look at it once… At that time, you weren’t there. “The color of your eyes.”

    Uh, um.

    … Does not having eyes mean that you have to dig them out yourself?
