“Aren’t you dizzy? There is no pain?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

A doctor wearing a white coat checks my condition. Hold a small penlight to your eye and write something down on the chart.

I was leaning against the bed in the hospital room. As if it was a luxurious bed, I operated the button on the side and the back rose up.

‘I’ve never used a motion bed in real life either.’

From the hospital room, I felt something luxurious. Aside from medical equipment, there is a lot of furniture in the single room.

I raised my hand and looked at my body.

Compared to reality, her body was very slim. This is partly because the avatar was created in a time when her abilities were poor, and partly because she was made to look baby-faced with amenities.

Fortunately, the increased abilities were applied properly.

The doctor sees me swinging my arm and stops me.

“Avoid vigorous movement until an accurate examination is performed.”

“Ah… yes.”

Feeling embarrassed, I quietly followed her words.

In any case, it is fixed so tightly that it is impossible to move below the waist.

‘Are the recovery procedures completed?’

[That’s right. All injuries have been treated.]

‘How much time has passed since the safety ejection?’

[After the recovery process was completed, time stop was reapplied. Exactly 30 days have passed.]

While I was playing with the guidebook, the doctor who finished the checkup spoke.

“We have contacted the guardian, so he will arrive soon.”

“Guardian?”

“Hye-ri Lee, aren’t you a guardian?”

“Ah, Sister Hyeri. That’s right.”

It occurred to me that placebo ID cards have never been used here. I could use it now, but since the police station had already gone through the procedures, I decided to just wait.

“Then please wait a moment.”

All the doctors and nurses left the room. I can hear them whispering through my sensitive senses.

“I’m glad the patient woke up safely.”

“That’s right. It would have been dangerous if it had lasted any longer.”

“Isn’t it so cute when he comes to his senses and opens his eyes wide?”

“Sseu-eup… What are you saying to the patient? ……He was handsome.”

It’s a word worth paying attention to.

Before, I couldn’t do anything and was kicked out due to safety ejection. I decided to use it well this time.

I was lying down and bruised, so I turned on the TV because I was bored. It was fortunate that the remote control was within reach.

The news channel is turned on.

-……The public’s voice demanding measures is growing louder.

– It is said that the National Assembly is preparing a new bill in response to terrorist acts by villains who began appearing a month ago.

-The name of the bill is ‘Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Crimes with Supernatural Powers’, but the public tends to shorten it to ‘Minho Law’.

-But with the appearance of villains, new people called heroes…

“What…?”

The story behind it didn’t really enter my mind. The only word that the announcer said earlier, Minho Law, lingered in my ears.

The ‘Minho’ in the Minho law mentioned in the news doesn’t mean me, right?

I denied reality for a moment, but considering that I was attacked by a villain on the main street while everyone was watching, it was highly likely.

Perhaps that incident would have become a significant issue. People in this world love to talk so much.

Maybe Lee Hye-ri and Lee Yu-ri are involved in this.

I feel dizzy at the fact that I may be the cause of a new law that did not appear in the original work.

Suddenly

“Minho!”

The door to the hospital room opens as if breaking open and Yuri Lee comes in.

She jumped onto the bed as if running towards her and stopped abruptly. I touch my head with trembling hands.

Her green eyes, blurred with tears, wavered in confusion.

“Really…? Are you really awake?”

Sigh

He reached out his hand and stroked Yuri’s cheek. In the end, I can feel the tears flowing down through my fingers.

He made eye contact with Yuri and smiled brightly.

“It’s true that I woke up. Really.”

“Ugh… I knew something was wrong… I was so worried… Ugh…!”

Yu-ri Lee burst into tears, as if she had finally realized that she had really woken up.

I lent her a hand to help her calm down.

Yuri Lee cried for a long time, probably because there was a lot that had accumulated over that time. How much did he cry while holding my hand?

A slightly more serious Yuri Lee avoids my gaze with a red face that contrasts with her blue hair.

“……”

However, I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of him never letting go of his hand and holding it until the end. I decided to pretend not to know anything.

A question suddenly occurred to me, so I asked Yu-ri Lee a question.

“Where is Hyeri?”

“Unni will arrive in a little while due to work. I received a call from my sister, attended the lecture, and then just left.”

“Is that okay? Attendance is…”

“Is attendance a problem now? Why are you worried about a kid who has been in a coma for 4 weeks!”

‘That’s also true.’

I got into trouble for saying something for no reason, so I scratched my head.

“And now college doesn’t matter……”

“Why?”

I asked a question without missing Yuri’s small murmur.

At that question, Yuri Lee looked at me with very calm eyes. His eyes were so cruel that I flinched, my nerves exhausted by the ruined academy.

“……This sister has gained a superpower that allows her to punish bad people!”

She was frozen for a moment, but then suddenly took on a cheerful attitude and spoke.

“Superpower?”

“Yes. We are making items with special powers and supplying them to the government!”

“That’s amazing!”

Just like in the original work, Lee Yu-ri awakens to her supernatural ability to create various equipment. She seemed to be happy to see me taking pleasure in it as if it were her own.

“It’s less effective when used by ordinary people… but I’ll make a lot for Minho to use for self-defense!”

“Oh…! Thank you!”

Clap clap clap

The more she reacts, the higher her sassy attitude becomes.

Yuri Lee was excited and opened her mouth to pour out TMI.

“I have a new weapon I made this time, and I decided to deliver it…”

“Minho!”

Suddenly

After interrupting her, Hye-ri Lee ran into the hospital room.

She ran to the bedside looking exactly like her younger sister, Yu-ri Lee, pushed Yu-ri aside and clung to me.

Twisted

“Ah!”

“When did you come to your senses? Is there any pain? Do you recognize me?”

Beads of sweat were forming on my forehead as if to prove that I had run this far.

I calmed down Hye-ri Lee, who was pouring out questions one after another without even taking a breath.

“I’m fine. There is no pain whatsoever.”

Tears formed in Hye-ri Lee’s eyes as she saw me with my arms wide open.

‘It rang again.’

Only after filming yet another shocking drama were we able to achieve peace.

“Really… you don’t even care about your younger brother?”

“I’m sorry. I did it because I was anxious when I heard Minho woke up.”

Yuri Lee, who was pushed to the side and fell comically, glanced resentfully at her older sister.

Still, Lee Yu-ri could understand Lee Hye-ri’s feelings, so she didn’t say anything more.

To divert their attention, I asked them about what they had seen on the news earlier.

“Sisters, I heard on TV earlier that there will be a new thing called the Minho Act… Can you tell me what happened?”

flinch

Yuri Lee’s body reacted greatly in an instant.

On the contrary, Hyeri Lee quietly stared at me with lifeless eyes.

“It’s a bill regarding the punishment of villains.”

Hyeri Lee answers in a low voice.

“If the bill is passed, crimes using supernatural powers will be punished several times more severely than crimes that do not.”

“Is that so?”

I remember a similar story being told in the original work. Apparently, my name was written on the wrapping paper, but nothing changed in the details.

Hye-ri Lee’s voice came to my ears as I felt a small sense of relief inside.

“A maximum sentence of death is possible. And the first target will be the villain who made you like this.”

“……”

Since it was a terrorist incident that took place in the middle of the city, I thought it could be possible.

Honestly, it didn’t matter what happened to that rock villain.

The problem is that the murderous looks in Lee Hye-ri and Lee Yu-ri’s eyes that are sometimes seen, like now, are a little scary?

Still, I can somewhat understand their feelings.

Lee Hye-ri will think that she got hurt because I was protecting her, and Lee Yu-ri is in a physical relationship with me.

smart

“Is your guardian here?”

After breaking this heavy atmosphere, the doctor returned to the hospital room. As soon as the door opened, all the pressure that had filled the room disappeared.

Seeing the two sisters smiling as if they had never noticed their expressions made me feel like I was possessed by a ghost.

“Now that the patient has regained consciousness, additional tests must be performed again. The same goes for paraplegia.”

“Paralysis?”

The doctor’s scary words made me touch my leg without realizing it.

Tribute

‘Do you have any sense?’

Instead of having fixed legs, I wiggled my toes. Moves well.

I guess the medical staff didn’t notice that I was in the process of recovery.

The people around me gave me sad looks, probably because they thought I was shocked.

Sisters Lee Hye-ri and Yu-ri Lee looked like they were about to cry. I hurriedly told them.

“Am I okay?”

“Okay. We will help you avoid any inconvenience as much as possible.”

“Don’t worry! If you use the assistive device I made, you will be able to live a normal life!”

I think they think I’m trying to comfort them. Lee Yu-ri, who pretends to be bright, is about to burst into tears again.

I spoke honestly to them.

“No, that’s not an empty remark, it’s really okay. Are your legs moving too?”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

I threw the blanket aside and exposed my lower body.

When he wiggled his exposed toes instead of his fixed legs, everyone in the room froze.

“……Ta-da?”
