36.

Five months have passed since Hong Seo-min’s arrest.

January passed and it was June.

Midsummer weather has hit Seoul.

The cicadas don’t chirp.

On the road, the wind is blowing.

It’s not called the Hell Peninsula for nothing.

Still, South Korea overcame the minor storms of January – the Capital Hospital Gate and the Hong Seo-min incident – and regained a calm peace.

It was the same in any coffee shop in Korea.

Ding-ding-ding the doorbell as a guest came in.

A small citizen who runs a small cafe. Kim Yeon came out of the break room after stretching. The cafe is well-decorated, but there aren’t many people.

Because there are no people.

“Welcome.”

“Oh, yeah.”

Another guest, thank goodness. Check out the impression. It’s light and neat.

One woman, one man. You can tell they’re a couple at first glance.

Kim Yeon, whose military life was ruined because he couldn’t eat well, is so attached to her that even she notices right away.

“They must be a couple.”

Kim Yeon could say with certainty, tying up her loose apron and going out to serve customers.

Since the lunch offensive was over, my stamina had recovered to 100%. I could even deal with the regular customers. I was brimming with confidence.

“What would you like me to prepare for you?”

“Excuse me, it will take some time to order. Can I use the kiosk?”

Kim Yeon-eun, standing quietly at the counter, nodded her head.

“Of course!”

Lunch is for staff only.

It’s also written on the menu.

The iron rule of customer service at the top. It’s an outdated policy that’s been around for over 30 years. Of course, the staff will take care of it.

Sometimes there are guests who are reluctant to talk. This is actually a good thing for Kim Yeon, who wants to have more time to rest.

“Ah, just press the LCD. Customer~”

“Thank you.”

Hard tone. She’s an ordinary woman. Not even a real person.

It’s okay. Couples like this usually spend a lot of money. Kim Yeon decided to keep quiet.

Because the profit here is higher than that of men who gossip and order around.

Kim Yeon-eun loitered around the counter for a few seconds until her order was placed, then quickly went into the break room.

“Hmm. Gone.”

Kang Jin-young glanced at the counter for a moment.

That woman was clearly confused when she saw Lee Seong-han. It was only for a moment, but I could feel it.

Is he really a genius at seducing women?

“Mr. Seonghan.”

“Yes.”

“I’m secretly pretty, right?”

Clank.

The short hair is pulled up wide to reveal the neck.

This is what I saw in the community, so it’s credible. Women are confident! There’s no tree that won’t fall after ten strikes.

“ in?”

Kang Jin-young absentmindedly pressed the kiosk with his index finger. He pricked up his ears as if waiting for an answer.

Lee Seong-han was shocked when a knife flew at him while he was looking at the menu.

what.

What is the key?

What is the intention?

What about the destruction law?

What about defense?

I don’t know.

There is no proper way to attack.

“It’s pretty.”

“Where?”

“All.”

Well, if I had to give a score, I would give it a 65% answer.

I guess it’s okay.

Because it’s clear that I have feelings for him.

“Hehe, I got more points than my sister. I’m definitely better than my sister. If I keep doing this… … Hehe. Aren’t we going to hold hands too?”

Kang Jin-young chuckled sinisterly.

Lee Seong-han sent a signal with a face like, ““What is that kid?”.”

Of course, the radio waves couldn’t reach them because they didn’t have colors like the Protoss.

Even if it exists.

“Ugh! Amon, from my head, I! Pure love is all perception-altering hypnosis rape pure love!”

I would have cut it off myself.

She’s crazy.

A crazy woman who is desperate for love.

It is impossible for an ordinary person to understand a genius who is lost in his own world.

Lee Seong-han decided to just accept it.

“Spit. Wipe off the spit. It’s running from your mouth and it’ll get on your clothes.”

“? Aaah.”

“Stay still.”

Kang Jin-young, who was trying to wipe his mouth with his arm, suddenly stopped.

Lee Seong-han took out a few napkins and wiped his mouth.

“That guy doesn’t know how many women are after him right now!”

I knew because you told me.

Lee Seong-han also wanted to say something, but Kang Jin-young’s reaction suddenly changed. He tilted his head.

“Ugh! Expensive!”

Kang Jin-young clicked his tongue.

Prices are no joke these days.

The Awakened One did so.

It’s safe to say that you spend as much money as you earn.

“Wow, the price of coffee is 20,000 won?!”

What was the daily wage of the awakened person? Kang Jin-young groaned in front of the kiosk.

Whenever I think about price, cheap rip-offs like Levi’s come to mind.

‘No, it’s a luxury if you think about it!’

He shakes his head. The minimum wage for awakened people is currently 22,000 won. The awakened people pay additional expenses. They say taxes are added.

Benjamin Franklin said the only two things no one can escape are death and taxes.

Lee Seong-han stuck his head out toward the kiosk.

“It’s expensive.”

“This is what women do─”

“I’ll buy it.”

“?”

“I have a lot of money.”

“???”

Where does the man get his money? He collects it for things like activity fees. I also heard that his family isn’t very well off.

But Lee Seong-han is not without money.

There is cash accumulated in the bank account by killing monsters.

The important thing is that the system only gives money by eliminating monsters.

[‘■■■■ ■(EX)’ tilts his head, saying, ““Ssup, did we have something like that?”.”]

[It is said that ‘automatic battle’ has continued to bring in a certain amount of money into the account.]

[‘Super-Reconnaissance’ is muttering, ‘MONEY is always right.’]

“Mr. Sunghan. A woman is someone who cannot live in debt to a man. That Kang Jinyoung! The genius of the National Intelligence Service, the wizard of Namsan, is in debt?!”

Kang Jin-young spoke boldly, crossing his arms.

“Um, your expression doesn’t look good?”

Elite bodyguards like me are always like this─ he said, bridging the gap between the words.

Lee Seong-han looked at Kang Jin-young’s clothes.

Transparent underbust crop top.

The pitch-black bra was so visible that I had no place to look. Is this normal in this world? I don’t know, I don’t know!

“Huh? Do my clothes look weird? I was just worried because you said we were going out together.”

It’s true.

Kang Jin-young’s attack this time was purely a question without any intention.

“This, it’s not strange. That… that’s it.”

“Why is that?”

“I think it’s too revealing.”

Skin?

Show your skin?

“Aren’t we already seeing everything in each other anyway?”

A man and a woman isolated in a deserted area, waiting for death.

Can’t you smell it just by looking at it?

Moreover, he said that if it didn’t work out there, he would marry me.

This stupid human being.

I don’t even remember that.

Do you have forgetfulness or something?

[‘Super-Reconnaissance’ is also a mother! The goddess of pure love! They cheer.]

[‘Block’ says that the real truth is Kang Jin-young.]

Lee Seong-han was flustered, arms crossed. Now even those guys were looking at him with a look of asking why he was doing that.

Well, [Super Reconnaissance] and [Blocking] did receive help from Kang Jin-young.

In particular, [Mental Barrier], which can be said to be the mother of [Block], came from Kang Jin-young.

“Mr. Seonghan? Why are you so flustered?”

Kang Jin-young came closer.

Sniff sniff.

I don’t want to smell it, but I can’t stop the scent. It smells good. I could tell at a glance that it was prepared with care.

“Hmm. You didn’t spray perfume?”

Black eyes look up at him. It’s at times like this that he gets very upset.

“Do I really have to spray it?”

“There’s no sign of Mr. Sunghan, so that’s why. Should I say the smell is weak? Okay, spray this.”

Hand over the perfume.

A brand that Kang Jin-young frequently uses.

I gave it to you last time too.

It’s a strange reaction considering he got furious the moment he realized the scent was gone.

“Do you think I’m lying?”

“Any woman would die if they smelled that strong scent······.”

As expected, this world has a strange concept of chastity.

“Spray it quickly.”

A completely different impression.

The eyes changed into those of a fish.

Can’t be helped.

Lee Seong-han quietly sprayed perfume.

After a while, a pleasant scent of lavender rose.

How to choose the right perfume for you is still unknown.

…

…

…

“It was worth the daily undercover investigation!”

ah.

I see.

That’s because I’m a stalking expert.

* * *

Beep beep beep.

“Is this okay?”

After much discussion, we decided on the 『Iced Americano for Awakened Users』 along with a few side dishes.

The price is exactly 22,000 won.

The decisive moment was the short note in the corner that said, “50% discount if you’re a couple!” Even though we’re not a couple, if we pretend to be, they’ll give us a whopping 11,000 won discount?

Wow, this is a crazy country. It only goes up and never comes down.

“I’ll pay~”

“Yes.”

Kang Jin-young held up a check card. It was from the Kangcheon Group, which dominates the financial world. The splendid gold frame was vivid.

Beep.

As I inserted the card, a clear voice was heard.

[-Your order has been completed.]

“Next time… …buy me something better. Okay? Besides, I owe you my life. I have to cut it down a little like this.”

“I’m really okay.”

“I feel like I have to pay it back somehow.”

Daughter-

The doorbell rang. A large man wrapped in black came running and pressed the kiosk button. It was the cancel button.

Beep.

[-Your order has been cancelled.]

[-Please select again.]

What is this? A new type of villain? Lee Seonghan looked back.

Blonde.

Red eye.

A violent body that cannot be hidden.

A red face with embarrassment.

“Your······ Your majesty, don’t drink such low-quality black water. Drink a mild fruit drink. You made a mistake. Kang Jin-young.”

“What is it?”

How did you come? You must be busy─ A cold air flowed across Kang Jin-young’s face.

The mouth was smiling, but the eyes were not.
