‘Is the heat resistance sufficient?’

“Ha……”

Lee Yu-ri sighed in an unusually helpless manner.

It wasn’t that the equipment I was making with my older sister, Hye-ri Lee, needed major modifications.

This was equipment that was made just for Minho anyway, and it wasn’t a task with a specific deadline.

Rather, it was fortunate that I found out what kind of superpower Minho had before it was completed. That’s because we can now custom-make it for him.

The reason she sighed was because Minho’s superpower was too dangerous.

Seeing that the injury recovered quickly, I guessed that he had definitely gained some kind of superpower.

Wouldn’t it be great if that ability could regenerate or increase the body’s durability? You will be less worried about Minho getting hurt.

‘Also, it would have been nice if it was an auxiliary superpower like my sister and I…’

If so, he would have been able to use his superpowers safely without being exposed to a dangerous environment.

Maybe we could have been together not only at home but also at work.

If the government finds out about Minho’s superpowers, they will not care that he is a man and will definitely assign him missions such as dangerous fire scenes or dealing with villains.

Because handling fire was such a great ability.

Lee Hye-ri came next to Yu-ri Lee, who was sighing with a depressed face.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, yes. Because of Minho.”

“I see. It was surprising. I never thought Minho would use the supernatural power of fire.”

Lee Yu-ri glanced at Lee Hye-ri’s calm demeanor.

“Aren’t you worried?”

“What’s there to worry about?”

“If the government finds out, they will definitely put Minho in a dangerous place…”

“Who said you would inform the government?”

“What?”

Yuri Lee, startled, looks around.

The place where the two people are now was a facility prepared by the government. They were visiting here for field testing of new equipment.

It was obvious that nothing good would happen if anyone heard the sisters’ conversation.

“We can protect Minho. There is no need for that child to step up and become a hero.”

“Sister…”

“This kid has had a hard enough life. Yuri, are you going to help me too?”

Yuri Lee turned to face her older sister who was looking at her intently. Her determination to protect Minho no matter what happened was visible in her eyes.

‘Ha… what was I worried about?’

“Then, of course. If I become a woman and can’t protect even one man, I’ll be so embarrassed that I won’t be able to keep my face up.”

“Hehe. Yes.”

While the two people were working together, all preparations for the test were completed.

An agent from the government approached them and spoke to them.

“Hye-ri Lee, Ms. Lee Yu-ri. Come this way.”

They moved to their seats obediently following the instructions. We arrived in front of a large monitor.

From now on, the hero who joined the government will wear the equipment made by the two people and subdue the villain.

-Is this performance reliable?

The voice of an unknown hero came through the microphone. She kept fiddling with the suit she was wearing, as if it felt awkward.

“We have completed all the tests that can be done in the laboratory. The results showed that the suit performed better than any other equipment the government currently has. Please trust me.”

-great. The weapon looks useful… As long as it doesn’t break down, the test will be no problem.

Hero stroked the small pistol-shaped object on his thigh.

It didn’t matter if the equipment’s performance didn’t meet expectations or broke down. Because she was confident enough to subdue the villain even without these things. It was as if he was the safety device of the test.

-Let’s start the operation.

With those words, the hero entered the abandoned factory in front.

Drurrruk bang-

The hero confidently opened the door without any intention of hiding. As a result, a loud noise echoed inside the factory. Even if the hidden villain was in a deep sleep, the noise was so loud that he couldn’t help but wake up.

-what…? Are you a police officer?

A man walked out of the darkness of the factory.

His cheeks and eye sockets looked sunken, as if he had been starving for a long time. The arms and legs were as thin as chopsticks, so it felt like they would break right away if I hit them in the wrong place. His clothes were in rags, and he looked like he had been on the run for a long time.

But something strange appeared in the hero’s eyes.

She saw through the darkness and asked the villain.

-What is that on the corner of your mouth?

-mouth? Ah, this…

Chureup

The villain flicked his tongue like a snake and licked his lips.

-I’m a bit messy when I eat.

-……I smell blood.

-Hehehe… You’re quick-witted, aren’t you?

Whether the hero frowned or not, the villain didn’t care.

Eyes that don’t look normal. There was no humanity in the horizontally torn, dilated pupils.

-Did you eat someone?

-Well… Is it a person or an animal? If you’re curious… find out for yourself…!

As soon as the villain finishes speaking, he rushes in like a bullet.

The sight of it running, swinging its long, pole-like arms and legs back and forth, was a scary scene that could have come out of a dream.

When he hits a wooden box in his path, the box shatters into pieces, wondering where that force came from.

The limbs, which were so thin that they looked like they might break at any moment, were fine.

The movement is as if a ghost from a horror movie is tearing through the screen.

The hero calmly stamped his foot and stepped back. Then, with a fluid, natural movement, he took the gun out of its holster.

Wiingㅡ Pfung

-Hehehe… This level of attack doesn’t even tickle!

The yellow trail fired from the gun’s muzzle hit the villain’s thigh, but all it did was cause him to flinch for a moment.

Yu-ri Lee, who was watching quietly, pressed the microphone transmit button.

“As I guessed, he seems to be a person with supernatural powers who can transform his body through cannibalism or bloodsucking. Set your weapon’s dial to max.”

-as soon as? Are we skipping any intermediate steps?

Even while receiving the villain’s attack, the hero did not even lose his breath.

“Considering the blood on the corner of the mouth, there is a possibility that there is a victim nearby alive. Quick suppression and rescue is the priority.”

-all right.

The hero nodded, agreeing to Yuri’s request. When I turned the dial all the way, a yellow glow leaked out from the weapon.

The villain’s attack became more harsh due to the unusual appearance. His sharp nails scratched the hero’s suit.

Shaak

-Hmm… The performance is definitely good.

The villain’s attack had a lot of force, but the suit was fine, with only a small mark.

By allowing one attack, the hero takes a shooting stance again. She pulled the trigger again, aiming at the villain’s thigh.

Jiingㅡ

Pangㅡ

-Kaaahhh…!

-Uh… this thing is more powerful than I thought…?

Along with a noticeably louder firing sound compared to before, a thicker yellow beam penetrated the villain’s thigh.

A huge hole appeared in my already thin thigh, and one leg was shaking as if it had been amputated.

“Wow…!”

A government agent who was watching the monitor next to him gagged at the horrific scene.

However, Yuri Lee calmly gave instructions to Hero.

“After handcuffing and briefly stopping the bleeding, search to see if there is a victim. Cleaning up will be done by people waiting outside.”

-……all right.

The hero, who was momentarily taken aback by the unexpectedly strong power, regained his composure.

There are concerns that this may be called excessive suppression, but this villain is a criminal who has evaded the government’s pursuit and caused numerous victims.

Perhaps this matter will be quietly buried.

The gaze of Lee Yu-ri and Lee Hye-ri looking at the villain through the monitor was very cold.

Even with the sight of the man crawling on the floor bleeding, he did not express any sympathy.

Even as I watched the waiting personnel enter and provide first aid, and ultimately saw the person go into shock due to excessive bleeding, I did not blink an eye.

To them, the villain was nothing more than a threat to Minho, their lifesaver and the man in their hearts.

Tiriring

Suddenly

“The sisters are here~!”

“How are you?”

wobble

“Huh? Uh, I just stayed at home.”

‘Did something happen while you were working?’

I sat on the sofa and thought as I hugged Yuri, who almost collapsed.

For some reason, both sisters seemed a little tired today.

Sure enough, Yuri Lee began to pour out her complaints in my arms.

“Ha, really… the requirements changed again after the field test? People nag me saying that there should be an upper limit to the output, but it’s not something that can be done freely…”

grumbling

From what I heard, it was a problem related to her supernatural powers, so I couldn’t give her any advice.

Still, people complaining about stress at work cannot be ignored. I just quietly hugged Yuri and patted her back.

“Hmmmm……”

Hye-ri Lee saw this and gave him an envious look, but he didn’t even listen.

In the end, she enjoyed my embrace until she was satisfied and was dragged away by her older sister by the ears with a bright smile on her face.
