“This kid is my assistant, so don’t think about approaching me with a strict purpose! If it catches me, I won’t leave it alone, even if it’s a hero like me─?!”

Iria’s loud voice echoes throughout the association’s temporary relief center. Her voice was so powerful that the smoke that had been covering her sound waves cleared away.

-Ha, I’m jealous. As expected, there was an owner.

-That cute kid like that is your assistant? Does S class mean S class?

-As expected, it’s a blue wolf! Are they even using the beauty world now?!

-I have to work harder like you… … !

ㅡIt’s hard to find a male assistant these days, but where do you find such a cute guy… … .

ㅡTsk, it’s a shame. It was really my taste… … .

–I’ve never seen a blue wolf look so straight!

-Shh! Joe, be quiet… ! That’s the word Iria hates the most! I hear you!

-By the way, I guess I should change my nickname to wolf now? Being with such a cute assistant… … . You don’t look lonely at all, do you?

Heroes who turn their backs on a resolute cry.

They each have their own reactions,

He stepped back with a somewhat stiff gait.

Like herbivores frightened by the howling of a wolf.

“Hmph! Heroes don’t turn a blind eye during missions… … .”

Push! Iria sighs and crosses her arms.

Her expression seemed satisfied.

He felt relieved because he had properly announced that Sihu was his.

He definitely looked a lot calmer than when he first appeared.

‘assistant… ? But what is it?’

Only Han Si-hu was unable to understand the situation. He just looked up at Iria with a puzzled look on his face.

When the other heroes left, Iria looked down at Shihu, as if she felt relieved.

“… Sihu, shall we take a walk?”

But rather than explaining what an assistant was, she wanted to get out of here for now.

ㅡSigh

Iria makes eye contact and holds out her hand.

It meant that we should walk together hand in hand.

Even though there were still heroes passing by nearby.

This touch contained Iria’s will to show Sihu to the end that he was her man.

“Ah, yes… … !”

Sihu holds her hand.

And then they walked in step.

Toward the outskirts of the temporary aid station.

“By the way, Sihu. Where did Dr. G go?”

Iria spoke first to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.

“Oh, that’s right! That’s it… … .”

In response to those words, Sihu Han tells a story.

Everything that happened in the clinic.

And even where Dr. G is now.

However, he did not reveal his abilities. Since it was a status window, I knew that people wouldn’t believe the story about the unique skill leveling up… … .

“What… ? That really happened-?!”

“Yes. Doctor G is probably under investigation right now.”

It was like that. After Han Si-hoo finished his errand with Dr. G, he ordered her to surrender again before the hypnosis on her was lifted.

Because of this, Dr. G was currently being taken to the association for investigation.

“Anyway, did anything happen to you? They say a lot of villains came… There are no injuries, right?”

Shihu changed the subject and looked at her.

But there wasn’t a scratch on her suit.

He wasn’t an S-class hero for nothing.

The mission was completed safely without any damage.

“Foot, are you worried about me now?”

“Of course. Are you a precious person to me?”

“Haaat? Sihu, what are you saying now… … .”

“Huh? I said you were my precious person?”

“… … .”

Iria is left speechless by Han Si-hoo’s bold expression. He even dropped his gaze and blushed.

ㅡWhaaa!

As my face gets redder, my body temperature rises rapidly, and thick steam comes out through the purification tank.

“Thank you. For worrying about me… … .”

And then he just shyly muttered.

“I am truly grateful. If it wasn’t for my sister, I would have continued to be bullied by other heroes.”

Seeing her like this, Sihu smiled and expressed his gratitude. Then, subconsciously, he clung to Iria’s side and looked up at her.

With bright red eyes shining brightly.

“… … !”

Iria was unable to make eye contact, perhaps because she was embarrassed by Sihu’s proactive side. I just turned my head and stared into space.

‘Puh-huh, I never thought my face would turn red so quickly. I kind of understand why you were bothering me so much… … .’

Han Si-hoo had already noticed.

Iria is embarrassed.

That’s why I intentionally stuck even closer.

Iria’s shy reaction sparked a sense of playfulness.

Because I wanted to see more of Iria’s cute side, which is unusual for her.

“Ah, anyway… ! Sifu, you! Well, really, nothing happened with the other woman… ?!”

“Yes! I only have a sister?”

“You… You keep… … .”

“I told you this earlier in the doctor’s office. The only person I like is my sister.”

“… … !”

ㅡPUSHEEEIT!!

Iri’s face turns into a hot kettle at Han Si-hoo’s direct expression. Iria has a red face and spits out a much larger amount of steam than usual.

Her heavy breathing spreads across the floor.

“Cough, Cough-! Wow, suddenly what… … ?”

The entire area was filled with pure white smoke, as if a smoke bomb had exploded.

“Ha-♡ That won’t work either. Sihu? Do you really want to be my assistant?”

“Sister, what does that mean all of a sudden… … ?”

ㅡSlap!

Iria held Sihu’s shoulder in the thick smoke and gave him a serious look. As if proposing.

I felt like the mood was even stronger because of the thick smoke surrounding me.

“I was just saying this to chase people away, but… I think it would be better for both of us if you became my assistant.”

“An assistant… ? As before, what does that mean?”

Han Si-hu was just confused.

Are you suddenly running as your own assistant?

It was a story that he could not understand at all as he came from another world.

“Oh, that’s right. You don’t know. What is an assistant? … .”

Only then did Iria calm down her blush and slowly continue explaining.

hero and sidekick.

Actually, there was no profound meaning.

It literally refers to heroes and side kicks.

No matter how good a hero you are, working alone can be difficult in many ways. Therefore, heroes who can afford it have assistants by their side who can support them.

The scope of the assistant’s activities was quite wide.

From small things like moving for dispatch or checking the hero’s personal equipment to providing practical assistance during battle.

There was nothing in particular.

To put it simply, he is like a manager. Or, it could be seen as a partner who keeps pace with the hero.

Of course, it was not a common job, but

A hero was what everyone wanted.

It was helpful from a work perspective as well, but

In particular, heroes like Iria who hide their identities and work alone were particularly lonely, so they needed a partner with whom they could open up.

“Are you asking me to be your sister’s assistant?”

“Why? Do you really hate it?”

“Well, it’s not like that, but why suddenly… ? With a body like this, it doesn’t help much… … .”

Sihu trails off as he looks at his body. It was a voice lacking confidence.

“With a body like this? Is it because you don’t know how great your abilities are?”

“Ah, that’s true, but… … .”

Shihu was simply thinking about the body, but then realized what she meant and nodded.

“And since you accidentally revealed your face to others, you need a reason to be together. Maybe the association will be suspicious of your true identity.”

“Ah… … .”

It was like that. The problem was the gaze of those around me.

Iria was also conscious of the association.

No matter how S-class she was, I couldn’t help but be concerned.

Even though it was in front of heroes,

They must have doubted it at least once.

This is the relationship between Han Si-hu and Iria.

Therefore, there was nothing that could best support him as an assistant.

‘… And if you do this, even if something happens, you can still be together with Sihu♥’

Of course, it was also a reflection of Iria’s selfishness.

“My request… Are you going to listen? That doesn’t mean I should make you work or jump into a dangerous place together. Just a formal assistant─”

“Yes, okay! If only I could be with my sister outside… … !”

There was no reason to refuse after one hour. Even if an incident occurred, it was judged that it would be safer to be with an S class.

“Ha, it’s hard to speak nicely… ? If it wasn’t outdoors, I would have taken off my mask and kissed you-♡”

“Who, older sister? It’s back home… … .”

“Hehe, yes. Now then, shall we move slowly?”

“Move? Come to think of it, where are you going now?”

They were talking and walking until they reached the parking lot outside.

“Where? I’ve done all my business, so I have to go home. And aren’t you a little hungry now?”

ㅡKruk… !

At that moment, Sihu’s belly cries timidly.

“Fuhu, let’s order something simple today. Are you okay?”

“On an empty stomach, anything is fine! Oh, now that I think about it, I haven’t eaten anything properly since morning.”

“Sorry, you were so busy this morning, right?”

“Keu, keuhm! Was that so… … ?”

I was definitely busy spending time in the bathtub from early in the morning. To the point where I even skip breakfast.

“Anyway, I went back quickly and quickly on my bike… … .”

Iria, who was looking for a bike in the parking lot, stops moving. She could only stare blankly ahead, trailing off her words.

“My, my bike… … ?”

Not surprisingly, the place where she parked her bike was littered with debris from the villain’s attack.

The exterior wall of the hospital collapsed and the bike was crushed beneath it.

“… … .”

Sihu, who witnessed this scene, also could not say anything.

‘Phew, that’s a relief. ‘I guess I can go a little more normally when I go back.’

I just let out a sigh of relief in my heart.
