[Hehehe, Na-rin-ni! Are you enjoying your lunch?]

“Graham. Is Namin eating lunch with Hamshik too?”

[It’s heating up now! Aaaah, Hamshik! You haven’t heard the ding yet, wait! I told you it won’t turn if you open the door!]

It’s always cute and funny to see Na-min and Ham-shik tangled up. Thinking so, Na-rin sneakily showed her phone screen to the guild members from other departments who were hanging around.

Regardless of race, it seemed like everyone thought small things were cute, so everyone watched Namin with a big smile.

Was it a rumor that I had dinner with Na-min the day before while talking on the phone? Or was it a rumor that Na-min was wandering around the office?

Either way, Na-rin was happy that everyone thought well of her. Everyone, she thought, “This cute kid is my little sister.”

[Eww. Hamshik, you don’t drink soy sauce. You dip pancakes in it. If you just drink it, it’ll be really salty. Eww! Why are you spitting that out at me!]

He bickers with Hamshik, and he washes a dishtowel bigger than his body and wipes the soy sauce that has spilled on the table, saying he is going to clean up after himself.

There was no one who didn’t laugh out loud when they saw that sight.

In South Korea, where there is a long tradition of eating, it is common to watch other people’s eating shows while eating.

When you watch Hamsik and Namin having lunch, which can be categorized as a mukbang, and everyone is so absorbed in it that they don’t know if the food is going into their nose or mouth.

Na-min’s mouth opened as she said she was full after eating one and left it to Ham-shik to take care of the rest.

[Oh, that’s right. Sister Narin, I was going to film this Hamshik video and upload it to YouTube.]

“YourTube is great. Hamshik is cute, so a lot of people will watch it.”

[That’s right. Hamshik is super cute, strong, and smart, so he’ll be popular. Oh, anyway, that’s not it. I was watching YouTube for a while and I think I saw my mom in my past life.]

“Previous life… … ?”

But the words coming out of Namin’s mouth were not ordinary.

Of course, there were some cases where people died in reality, were reincarnated into another world, and then returned.

Like other races from other dimensions, there are those who return by riding the gate when it opens, or those who become so powerful that they tear open the dimensional rift and return home.

Because there are those who have awakened abilities related to the soul, the world has become one where reincarnation is no longer just a far-fetched story.

Namin’s words, although not very common, could be said to be quite plausible.

In Narin’s mind, the thought occurred to her that it wasn’t just Namin’s reincarnation, but something more serious.

As I looked around with that thought in mind, those who had been looking at or listening to Narin’s cell phone also stopped laughing and made serious expressions similar to Narin’s.

What if Namin is not a survivor of a different species from another dimension, but the result of an experiment that put a human into that small body?

After spending a few days with him, he seems polite, but his mental age doesn’t seem that high. What if he used a child who died when he was young as a test subject?

So, what if they extracted a person and put him into the body of that alien race? … … ?

Of course, using a different race as a test subject was cruel enough. But as she dug deeper, the dark past of Namin came to light, and Narin’s lips trembled.

Whether or not he knew what Narin was thinking, Namin just scratched his head and spoke awkwardly.

[Hehehe, I know it’s hard to believe. But I just vaguely remember it. Anyway, I want to try contacting my mother from my past life… … . If I just say I was reincarnated or something, it’ll be hard to believe. What should I say to contact her?]

“Kkeuheuheuheuk!”

The crocodile man who was eating behind Na-rin suddenly burst into tears. It seemed like he was overcome with emotion after hearing Na-min’s story.

Narin also held back her tears from becoming contagious. Perhaps because of that, her complexion darkened, but Na-min added an explanation with an expression of “Oh no” as she interpreted it.

[Oh, that doesn’t mean I’m breaking up with my current mom! I just want to say hello and say that I’m doing well and that you should be happy.]

“Hmm, ahem. I see. But wouldn’t it be better if there were two moms? There would be one more person who would love Na-min. And if you remember Dad too, there would be two more people.”

[Oh! As expected, Na-rin is smart! That’s right, if something is good twice, it’s twice as good!]

Fortunately, Namin didn’t seem to notice that fact and was just happy that she could see her mother from her previous life.

I wish I could live without knowing from now on. I wish I could live brightly like now. With that in mind, Narin could barely raise the corners of her lips and speak softly.

“First of all, Na-min’s parents from her previous life might be very surprised. Should I go and find Na-min’s friend from her previous life? Oh, by any chance, how old were you in your previous life? Were you older than her?”

[Oh, uh uh… … .]

I asked this mischievously to lighten the mood, but Namin was troubled. Was it possible that he was older than her?

Surely that’s not possible. And the fact that you saw your mother on YouTube means that they’re not that old.

Usually, as you get older, you don’t do that kind of thing as much. Even if you do do something, it’s probably something small.

Surely, Na Min’s parents aren’t political YouTubers.

[Hehehe, actually I’m twenty years old… …. Na-rin, you’re not by any chance nineteen or anything, are you?]

And Namin told her exactly the age that Narin had expected. An age where she knows how to be polite and doesn’t know much about the world.

“As expected, I’m the older sister,” said Narin, feeling proud inside.

“I graduated from college and got a job. I’m twenty-four.”

[Phew, that’s a relief. I was wondering if maybe when I get older you’ll start calling me Unnie.]

“Hey, even if Na-min was an eighty-year-old grandmother in her past life, I would have called her unnie. It’s her body that’s important right now, right?”

[That’s right, the body is more important now! The past life is the past life.]

A situation where they both feel relieved and relieved. Even in the midst of all this, Na-rin couldn’t erase the thought of Na-min’s past life from her mind.

A child who died at a young age, twenty years old. If that’s the case, he probably got caught up in the Gate and died.

A disaster that killed half of the population of South Korea. Most of them were people who did not trust the government that was sending out fake emergency disaster text messages and went about their daily lives, or people who tried to get some attention on social media and ended up dying.

It seemed unlikely that Na-min, who was just a kind person, would do that. Narin guessed that he must have died unjustly.

If he had died from a monster coming from another dimension, it would have been fortunate if at least his body had gone to his family. Someone stole it and created the current Namin.

A story like that had already been conceived in Narin’s head, and she was ready to report it to the manager.

She couldn’t even finish the food. If she could get this news out as soon as possible, the schedule for the lab suppression operation would be brought forward, so Narin was planning to quickly finish the call and get up from her seat.

So I sold the poor ham.

“Oh, Hamshik finished eating. Don’t worry about the dishes, just leave them. I’ll do it when my sister gets home from work.”

[No, I’m good at washing dishes. Oh, and I also installed the game that my sister told me about! My ID is Namini.]

“Okay, I’ll add you as a friend. I think you should wake up soon too. I’ll see you later in the evening.”

[Okay, see you later!]

I hope that Na-min won’t be interested in her death and how her current body came to be. Narin ended the call and stood up.

Other guild members sitting next to him quietly approached him.

“Mr. Narin. When are you going to do the lab suppression operation? I’ll join in.”

“Me too. I can’t forgive those who did such terrible things to Namin.”

“Tear open their guts and kill them! Bad people! Their guts must be huge! Tear open and kill them! ”

Normally, they would have been people I wouldn’t have even greeted since they were from different departments or worked in different fields to begin with.

Narin awkwardly smiled and stepped back at the interest shown by the hunters working in the field, including the Crocodile Man.

“I’ll tell the manager. This wasn’t under our department’s jurisdiction to begin with, so I just reported it to the government… … .”

The other races were all large in size, and they were indignant after hearing Namin’s story, so he felt intimidated.

But even though her body shrank, Narin felt her heart warmed by their goodwill.

I’m glad everyone likes Namin.

… … You like me, right? You’re not just interfering because you have something to fight about, are you?

I don’t know about other people, but the crocodile man seemed to be like that, so Narin flinched.

Hey, that can’t be. You even cried when you heard Namin’s story earlier. … … But there’s also the saying, “crocodile tears.”

Narin seriously considered whether she should give the manager the list of hunters who had agreed to help.
