After receiving the procedure and completing some additional tests.

“Congratulations. I feel like I’d like to have a drink to celebrate, but I still have some business left to do, so let’s have dinner together next time.”

After receiving several gifts from Baek Yu-jin, who said there was still work left to do, and leaving the lab, I was able to see that a dark sunset had already spread across the sky.

‘It took quite a while.’

While I was waiting for the car I had left there to come out.

I looked down at my left leg and moved it around.

“… … .”

The fact that I didn’t feel any awkwardness, as if it was my original leg, made me wonder if I hadn’t had any surgery.

‘… ‘I’m not sure yet.’

To be honest, although I carefully watched the test results and the condition of my legs, I didn’t really feel it.

I wouldn’t have noticed it if there had been no legs at all, because I couldn’t find much of a difference.

In fact, there were no major problems with my daily life even before the procedure.

Do you get tired easily and get achy whenever the weather is bad?

Unless you move with excessive force, you don’t feel much pain.

‘Of course, it would be better to check it yourself.’

The reason I accepted the procedure was partly because I wanted to go into battle myself, but

The most important thing is to overcome the trauma of the injury.

No matter how healthy my leg is, in the end, if I can’t overcome it, there’s no reason to fix it.

‘I need to stop by the training ground.’

I decided to check for myself that my leg was properly healed, so I immediately took out my cell phone and sent a message to Im A-rin that the procedure was completed.

[I’m out now]

He then added that he would stop by the training ground for a while and then go home, and that he wanted to have a drink to celebrate.

[Because it’s a good day, I’ll buy you a good drink]

“Guest. The car you gave me was left waiting.”

At that time, the employee who took out the parked car handed me the car keys.

‘I’ll call you if anything happens.’

I just got the car keys and headed straight to the training ground.

*

A dark room.

“… … .”

Lim A-rin, with a cold expression, was staring blankly at the message from Do Ji-hyuk that had just arrived.

[Because it’s a good day, I’ll buy you a good drink]

Good day.

It was clearly a word without much meaning, but the word ‘good day’ particularly bothered Lim A-rin.

‘… It can’t be helped… .’

Lim A-rin didn’t want Do Ji-hyuk’s leg to heal for the rest of his life.

No, if possible, I thought it would be better not to be able to go outside at all.

Because it was obvious that if he repaired his leg, he would be directly involved in the battle that would take place.

“… … .”

Lim A-rin brought up the memory of Do Ji-hyuk dying before her eyes a long time ago.

The image of him ultimately sacrificing his life to defeat the devil.

It’s a history that no longer exists… .

It was such a bitter memory that it brought tears to my eyes every time I thought about it.

“… Jihyuk… .”

Lim A-rin, who watched her loved one die before her eyes, never wanted to lose him again.

So I kept blowing on him endlessly so that he would not hold the sword or be interested in fighting directly.

but… .

Do Ji-hyuk held the sword without hesitation as if it were his fate,

Lim A-rin had no choice but to destroy his leg.

A blow disguised as a mistake.

It would have been very easy to break the legs of Do Ji-hyuk, who had just blossomed into his potential.

Of course, that choice was a huge shock to both of them.

One person suffered a trauma so severe that he could not go into battle.

One person feels great guilt for hurting a loved one.

however… .

Lim A-rin never regretted her actions.

If we didn’t do that, it was clear that history would repeat itself again.

Clearly, Do Ji-hyuk would have achieved success as a high-level hunter with the grand title of ‘Emperor’.

He must have been bewitched by very attractive and capable women,

In the end, he would have been taken away by Seol Joo-hee, who used the pretext of becoming pregnant with his childhood friend.

That’s why Lim A-rin did not regret her choice.

No, after that incident, I started to feel even more bitter.

About 11 years until the devil’s invasion.

Lim A-rin came up with a ‘perfect plan’ to protect Do Ji-hyuk and at the same time protect her own love.

He began to freely commit ‘bad things’ that he had been unable to do for moral reasons.

‘… I couldn’t help it… .’

They say the first time is difficult, but the second time is easy.

She continued to rationalize her actions by invoking the excuse of ‘love’ each time.

It has reached a point where even taking a life feels dull.

In the end, we ended up here.

Knock-knock-knock-

Lim A-rin, who looked away from the monitor, moved her fingers with an indifferent expression and sent a reply to Do Ji-hyuk.

[You’ve had a really hard time… ! ]

[I’ll be waiting for you, so come slowly! Train carefully… ! ]

If it were normal, I would have sent a message with a smile… .

I couldn’t do that today.

Tuk─

After replying like that, Im A-rin put down her phone and shifted her gaze to look at the small calendar on the table.

[ caution! Entering the fertile period! ]

Today is the day I enter my childbearing period.

It was a golden opportunity to capture Do Ji-hyuk more clearly than ever before.

Actually, I didn’t want to share Do Ji-hyuk’s love by having a child… .

“… … .”

I thought, ‘It’s fine as long as it’s not my daughter’ and headed straight to the dressing room.

It’s a special day, so prepare for a special event.

*

Buzz, buzz… … Buzz, buzz… …

‘There are quite a lot of people even at this time.’

Even though it was late in the evening, there were quite a few hunters training at the training ground.

In fact, ability grows as you train, so it would be right to work hard like this.

In that sense, our team is a very rare case.

“Hmm… . This is useful enough.”

Since I didn’t have a special combat uniform, I was given a common combat uniform and a practice weapon on loan.

Perhaps because it was a good training ground, they rented products from quite high-end brands.

‘I’ll give it a try soon.’

After doing a light warm-up run to loosen up my stiff body.

I entered the training booth with strangely excited steps and set the training situation by manipulating the panel inside.

[Dummy level: A rank]

The level of the training robot is A rank.

It is one level higher than our members.

Biiig──

When I pressed the start button, a beeping sound soon rang out inside the booth.

I approached the center of the booth, took a deep breath, and slowly raised my sword.

‘… This is real life… .’

He quietly closed his eyes and repeated his brainwashing endlessly, forcibly causing trauma.

“… Phew… .”

That time when I was constantly causing confusion, gnawing at the pain engraved in my mind.

Juruk─

The moment the cold sweat trickled down my forehead.

With the sound of a bloody machine, the training robots began to rush.

Kiiing─────!

“!”

Explodes the concentrated magical energy.

Huuuch!

Pleasant vitality that envelops the entire body.

I took a stance, pouring out my magical energy generously, and jumped high to avoid the charging robot.

Taaaa!

Quaaang────!

The robot that hit the bare ground belatedly found me and raised its head high.

‘light!’

I aimed the tip of my sword, smiling involuntarily as I felt the slight, light sensation of my legs.

“Haaaat───!”

The training continued like that.

“Ugh… .”

After several training sessions, I was exhausted and left the booth. I leaned on the bench and glanced at my left leg.

“… … .”

If it were normal, it would already be bright red and swollen, so it would feel very heavy… .

Not only was there no swelling at all, but I didn’t feel any discomfort at all.

‘… I really feel better… .’

The emotion comes to me quietly.

I thought that when my leg healed, I would be so overcome with emotion that I would shed tears.

But even though I realized that I was completely healed, no tears came out.

I could only feel a sense of relief, as if a large rock in the corner of my heart had disappeared.

“… life… . Tsk… .”

Around this time, I was resting and tapping my thigh for no reason, feeling strangely restless.

Wooung─ Wooung─

The cell phone I had placed on the bench began to vibrate.

It seemed like a message had arrived.

‘Is it Arin?’

I immediately picked up my phone and checked who the message was from.

[ㄱArin♥]

Sure enough, it was Lim A-rin who sent a message… .

[ picture ]

I don’t know what I was taking a picture of, but instead of a message, a ‘photo’ sign appeared.

“… … ?”

Without thinking, I opened the messenger and checked the photo she sent.

“… her… .”

[Arin: Preparing for a celebration event♥]

I let out a quiet laugh at a photo that came up with a short message.

In the photo, Lim A-rin was taking a picture of herself reflected in the mirror.

I don’t know when they got ready, but they were wearing clothes so explicit that it was embarrassing to call them clothes.

‘Suddenly doing something pretty like this again… .’

I didn’t really dislike her sudden event.

On the contrary, it was so amazing that he tried to make me happy that I felt like I wanted to run to him and hug him tightly.

[Me: I’ll be there soon]

After leaving a reply that I would go straight away, I quickly got up and headed to the locker room.

‘Today is unconditional.’

Since it was a special day, I smiled, thinking that I would perform the feat all night long without any tools.

Of course, it is a very dangerous idea that I would never have done under normal circumstances… .

No matter what anyone says, today was okay.

Because I got a lot of Baekil Pharmaceutical’s best-selling male contraceptives.
