54.

“Excuse me, where are you going? Please tell me your destination! Don’t laugh.”

“Let’s go home. Us.”

“Home?”

“You were on your way home when you got into trouble. Ahem. That’s why I decided to send you first. ”

If it’s a disaster, it means the woman who looks like Concorde Buzz + Kang Seo-jin.

“Excuse me, Jinyoung. If you give me money, I’ll take the bus. Oh, the bus is broken down. Then I’ll take a taxi.”

“Huh? How dare you return home in such an unsafe way! I will safely take you to the house of the magician Kang Jin-young of Namsan! ”

He is a truly trustworthy person. Of course, this is sarcasm. I feel like I have been kicked out of a boat by a person who is trying to pounce on me.

Kang Jin-young dragged me by the arm. He must have come by car. It was in the opposite direction from where he came. This was a park created by the Hunters Association.

“Is this right?”

“That’s right! It’s a shortcut.”

No matter how I look at it, it’s not true. Even more so when I see you stutter!

The sight of her trying to force the puppy to go for a walk gave me a strange sense of unease. This isn’t normal. I knew it right away. Am I being kidnapped?!

At first glance, he was clearly a reckless brat who betrayed his family and ran away.

Well, it’s nice that I can go home.

“Shall we take a break?”

The place Kang Jin-young led us to was a walking path just a few steps away. There were only streetlights and a few benches.

There were artificially planted forests on both sides of the road, but they were planted so densely that you couldn’t see beyond them.

“Okay, okay, just sit here for now.”

“I wonder what’s going on─”

You cut me off.

“I’ll get you a drink! Stay here!”

Kang Jin-young ran quickly towards the vending machine.

“Ah, good.”

I have no choice but to wait. Of course it’s okay. I won’t be able to see the good side of things even if I run away. I reluctantly sat down on the bench. The location was good, so all the fatigue I had been holding in was gone.

My body relaxed and I started laughing.

[He laughs heartily, saying that he feels good about ‘regeneration’.]

[I wonder what happens if you accidentally die while taking a bath in ‘auto battle’?]

[‘Super-Reconnaissance’ says, ‘Ah, it’s okay because there’s CCTV.’]

Well, today I had to work overtime on top of the work. Ugh, it’s already been weird.

Don’t be so passionate about nothing… Wait a minute, CCTV?

I’m so sleepy. They even installed CCTV in the dorm.

“Mr. Seonghan!”

Knock knock knock-

There was no time to think. Kang Jin-young came running from afar. He was holding canned coffee in both hands.

“Coffee?”

“It’s decaffeinated, so it’s okay.”

“······I’m the type of person who can handle caffeine well. No, and this is Americano. I can’t really drink bitter stuff. ”

As I spoke, pleading, the answer struck me as a slap in the face.

“Don’t make a face like that. I’ll grab you and eat you.”

I was about to say that that was sexual harassment, but I held back. You already did everything you could to catch me. Anyway, there’s a woman named Kang-cheon in the National Intelligence Service. I’m really afraid that she’ll retaliate.

I will be considerate since it was not my intention. I don’t like bringing up the past, that woman doesn’t like it, and everyone in the world hates it.

It’s decaffeinated so it’s okay, but I feel a bit weird drinking coffee at night. I saw it on Dr. Friends.

By the way, I’m worried about when she gets to that age. Will Kang Mi-young be able to do well on her own without us?

In terms of skill, there is no one who can surpass him. He is an S-class hunter. He is a superhuman, a superhuman.

But if that guy uses mental magic… … it’ll probably be a disaster.

“I…shouldn’t I go back?”

“No, no. Originally, if you complete a request from a government agency, it will be released automatically. You won’t receive any compensation, though.”

“That’s not what I meant. I’m asking if the Major is not touching us.”

“That’s it?”

Kang Jin-young and I sat next to each other. We were so close that we could hear each other breathing.

I don’t know why, but it seems like women are losing their sense of distance more and more.

“There are many ways. Hmm! ”

Kang Jin-young linked arms.

“Excuse me, please step back a little.”

“Why? Do you hate me?”

“No, but I think it’s too close.”

If I stretched out my arms, I could touch my thighs and other parts of my body without any problems.

The same goes for the health camp.

There was a nice smell at the tip of my nose. It was the perfume I always sprayed. It had a lavender scent, and the combination of the floral scent and the pheromones from my skin gave off a very strange feeling.

It must be the scent coming from Kang Jin-young. I also sprayed a little bit, and the lingering scent was so good that I ordered it online. Or I could go to the department store myself.

How on earth do you know something like that? There was a strange mood flowing. But then the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Tiring-

“Oh, you called.”

Kang Jin-young said coldly. Kang Jin-young picked up the phone and started chattering like a sparrow.

A loud swear word that was hard to put into words was heard from the speaker. I didn’t know who it was. Kang Jin-young uncrossed his arms and waved his hand as if telling me to leave for a moment.

I reluctantly got up from the bench and began to walk quietly.

‘By the way, where’s my phone?’

Suddenly it occurred to me that I don’t have my phone with me right now.

My phone is being held hostage by Kang Seo-jin.

I have to go get it back. All my important files and photos were there. If they get caught… I don’t want to be caught.

“Haaah.”

Kang Jin-young got up from the bench. He let out a sigh as if he was tired and said, “The world is going to end.”

My eyes became hazy in a matter of seconds, and the speakers were of poor quality, so all I could hear was a muffled sound.

“Xylophone.”

“Huh? The car is already here?”

“No. My sister came to catch us. She won’t let us go home. Normally, if it gets to this point, you can just rest. Seonghan-ssi, Nana, really.”

“Then let’s go back. Bring me a few drinks. I think it’ll cheer me up. ”

I thought it was normal for family to bicker, but sisters are just like that.

Kang Jin-young looked at me as if my attitude was strange.

“? Aren’t you going home?!”

“Still… …People’s lives are at stake, so I think it’s okay to go home. First of all, we have to finish everything. Oh, I’m calling again. Is it the Major? ”

I intercepted Kang Jin-young’s cell phone. The one with the word ‘F*ck’ written on it was Kang Mi-young. About 70% of the time.

“Oops.”

“I’ll give it back to you soon, so just wait!”

When I picked up the phone, I heard a familiar voice.

-Who are you?

“This is Major.”

There was a brief silence. Kang Mi-young responded as if she was extremely embarrassed. What is this? Is there something I shouldn’t hear?

Well, I guess he must be angry because he suddenly left the seat without any mutual agreement.

-… … Oh, I see! Sir. How far along were you listening?

How long were you listening? I didn’t hear a single word.

Judging from Kang Jin-young’s expression, it seems like there was quite a bit of back and forth.

“Yes? I couldn’t hear a single thing because it wasn’t on speakerphone.”

Phew. A sigh of relief was heard over the speaker.

-Your Majesty. Where on earth did you go in this emergency situation?! Return to the scene immediately.

“I’m going to buy a drink. My throat is a little parched after standing in line for a few hours. Would a fruit drink be okay, Major? ”

-Do you know what I like?

“Yes.”

I bought three or four ‘NEW! Matsta’ juices from a nearby vending machine.

I heard that they started reselling it for those with awakenings and those who have re-enlisted, and that they increased the pulp content by 120%. It’s truly a masterpiece!

If I had the chance, I would burn this place down. In a good way, of course.

“Can I taste it?”

-Ohhhh.

“Major?”

Kang Mi-young held back her exclamation and cleared the air with a cough.

-Of course! I’ll be waiting.

Kang Mi-young said she liked this kind of mild fruit juice. I hung up the phone and continued to pour drinks. I bought a whole lot with the change I had in my wallet. ”

“Ppa, hurry up and give it to me.”

Kang Jin-young ran up to me and stretched out both arms, begging for me to give her phone back. Her face was as red as a carrot.

I was on the verge of tears, but if I delayed any longer, it would have been like a pressure cooker, with smoke rising up.

I also don’t like to bring up other people’s shortcomings.

I tried to hand it over as a light joke.

“What, is there something like CCTV? I mean, they film people too.”

He said it jokingly.

“Hiphop.”

I didn’t know that Kang Jin-young would hiccup so cutely there. The call window closed and the background screen was revealed.

[‘Super-Reconnaissance’ shouts, ‘Nuna is the best!’]

“Eww!!”

Kang Jin-young screamed and covered her eyes.

The background was very… … like Kang Jin-young.

She was naked, wearing only underwear. It was assumed that she had just taken a shower. She had a towel around her neck, and her hair felt damp, as if she hadn’t dried it.

The pelvis is pushed back and the upper body is bent forward.

That pose was extremely obscene.

In particular, the posture that emphasizes the soft armpits is really… … .

“Stop watching!!”

Kang Jin-young shouted and snatched the smartphone. It was a manly sight that made people blush.

I walked forward with the can in my arms.

“It’s pretty.”

“ in?”

Kang Jin-young made a puzzled expression.

“Let’s go quickly.”

“Okay, wait! One more time!!”

I ran quickly to hide my flushed face.

***

“… … Huh, you’re not the one who brings me a whole bunch of my favorite drinks.”

“Thank you, Major!”

“Was there no problem? With Kang Jin-young.”

Kang Mi-young narrowed her eyes. Her gaze was filled with suspicion.

I laughed heartily because I didn’t want to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

“Yes.”

After hearing the answer, Kang Mi-young glanced at Kang Jin-young.

He opened a can of Naemasta and took a sip. He made a “Kuu!” sound and wiped his lips with his small tongue.

The police force was reduced and additional Hunter Management Bureau units were deployed.

The grunge atmosphere was much more grim.

Armed armored vehicles and machine guns. It almost reminded me of the front line. It felt like walking on thin ice. It was like that when I first met Kang Mi-young.

“Has the situation not calmed down?”

“Yeah, isn’t this a world where money can buy everything? The Awakened’s protective gear also follows that worldly law. It blocked several of my attacks. I don’t know what equipment it was though.”

Swoosh-

An ambulance cut across the road. I don’t feel good.

“How many casualties?”

“2 people.”

“That guy is finished too.”

“They’ll probably end up on the death row. Or they’ll be let go and killed. Isn’t that how they’re treated as awakened people? They’re too strong to be controlled. ”

In 2077, a woman who had undergone cyberpunk modifications was ‘still’ holding on to Kang Seo-jin.

This pointless hostage situation has been going on for three hours now.

“YOHOHOHO······! No one come near. If you don’t want this cute little one to get crushed like a flat dumpling! Yeah, yeah, back away! So that I can see. ”

Wow, he’s a smart guy.

Lee Seong-han poured himself a decaffeinated can of coffee and drank it. It was already his fifth cup. Even though it had a low caffeine content, it would be possible to stay up all night with this much.

It felt like the impurities in my head were being washed away and my mind was becoming clearer.

Lee Seong-han had never studied physiognomy, but just by looking at his face, he looked like a criminal with 192 previous convictions.

He must be a habitual offender, judging by the way the police were scared. I wanted to arrest him quickly and let him rest.

“Mr. Jinyoung.”

“Huh? Yes.”

Kang Jin-young answered sadly. There was moisture in her voice.

“Kang Jin-young. Raise your arms higher.”

“Ugh! Isn’t that really too much, Unnie? Do you have to punish me like this just for going out to buy a drink?!”

“You reap what you sow.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

Kang Jin-young, kneeling slightly and raising both arms, made a pained expression.

“Mr. Jinyoung, how did that friend know? It’s Kang Seojin.”

The sisters both averted their gaze at the same time. What? Are you ignoring me?

“… … I don’t know. You probably knew it from what I saw in the article. Ahem. ”

“That’s highly likely. There are times when he will appear on TV as a successor.”

Ugh, I’m getting scared for no reason.

I thought IQ was gone because of the double-braided dumplings, but it turns out that it’s still something that humans have a hard time understanding.

Lee Seong-han calmly thought about how to deal with it.

The characteristics were like a company planning agenda, and the questions were asked one after another.

“Q. Cut the building!! (Super-reconnaissance)”

You idiot. How can that work? It’s impossible. The commercial building where the hostage situation took place was the size of a villa.

It didn’t make sense to destroy a building like that just to catch one person. Even if it were successful, the collateral damage would be huge.

Moreover, if the opponent uses [Steel], it will be a total mess.

“A. Ineffective. Dismissed.”

‘Okay, let’s move on to the next one.’

The characteristics opened another discussion. The conclusion that was eventually reached was very simple.

“Q. Then die. (Automatic combat)”

I quite like this.
