“Money comes in this way.”

Eugene, who came out of the Hero Association headquarters, muttered curiously.

Eugene and his party were just in the middle of reporting on the completion of their dungeon raid.

Heroes receive compensation from the association based on the monsters and dungeons they defeat.

I didn’t think it was a very difficult dungeon,

Surprisingly, the dividends were quite large.

It seems that the Spider Queen, whom Lime cut with a single knife, was stronger than expected.

“Then let’s divide it equally into four.”

“Oh, I’m fine.”

Eugene said as he raised his hand.

It may be surprising, but Eugene is a second-generation chaebol.

There was so much money, there was no need to take it.

However, Younghee drew her eyebrows into an eight-pointed shape as if asking what he was saying.

“No! Even among friends, these things must be clearly shared. Right, class leader?”

“Huh? Uh, yes.”

The class president, who was lost in thought, nodded half a beat late.

After conquering the dungeon, she seemed worried.

“In the first place, it is right to share things like this equally. Well, even though I say this, I feel stung because I haven’t done anything in particular.”

The class leader who said that laughed bitterly.

Is that so?

As for Eugene, he hopes that his friends will find it more useful.

It may feel rude to just refuse.

“Then let’s divide it equally.”

“Yes! I deliberately divided the cash into four parts.”

Eugene accepted the envelope.

I thought it was the same amount of money anyway.

Saying that you earned it with your own efforts feels something different.

Lime was also checking the envelope with interested eyes.

After getting along so well, the four of us were returning home.

The class leader who was passing in front of the department store suddenly spoke.

“Oh, I have something to buy. Can I stop by for a moment?”

“I also have something to buy. Um…that’s… … .”

Younghee glanced at Eugene’s gaze.

Of course, Eugene, who was so sad as to be oblivious to the situation, just blinked his eyes.

Lime, who was watching this quietly, kicked Eugene’s shin.

“Hey, you stay here.”

“Huh? Why?”

“If you want to watch a girl change her underwear, follow her.”

“So, it’s not underwear… … .”

Younghee lowered her red face.

Anyway, it seems like it’s an item that’s difficult to show to Eugene.

Eugene nodded.

“I understand. Then I will wait here.”

“Sorry, I’ll be back soon.”

“Don’t worry about it and just go.”

Eugene, who was left alone, leaned his back against the pillar.

When I thought about it, it occurred to me that it had been a long time since I had been alone like this.

‘It’s peaceful.’

Although it wasn’t something to say after just fighting a monster.

Eugene truly thought so.

Doing something with friends.

Have fun laughing and talking.

Maybe this is the daily life that Eugene has longed for.

“That’s a nice expression.”

There was someone who suddenly entered that daily life.

Eugene turns his head.

It’s withdrawal.

“……It feels like it’s been a really long time.”

What came out of those words was not just a superficial greeting.

When I saw Cheolsu after a long time, he had definitely changed in some way.

First of all, it looks like that.

The outfit, which consisted of a black hoodie with a deep zipper, felt like something you would only see in a back alley.

The atmosphere there is also strange.

Would you say that just by standing still, an evil energy rises from you?

It’s like a sharply forged sword.

With this sword, you can kill anyone with a single sword.

“How is Younghee?”

“I haven’t recovered my memories yet, but I have recovered. I laugh a lot.”

“……Is that so.”

Cheolsu rummaged through his pocket and took out a cigarette.

Naturally, you light a fire there.

Huh, white smoke flowed from his mouth.

“……Did you smoke too?”

“I learned it recently. Don’t you bloom?”

“uh.”

“Every mafia I’ve ever seen said that.”

“Because I want to live as long as possible.”

It was awkward.

However, it was surprising that conversation was not difficult.

The last time the two met was during Younghee’s reckless driving incident.

Eugene and Cheolsu joined forces to save Younghee.

In the end, in moments of crisis, Yeonghee’s safety was the top priority.

That was what supported the relationship between the two.

“…….This matter will be resolved soon.”

“Settlement?”

“I cut off all the roots and twigs.”

It really wasn’t an easy road.

Numerous executives and subordinate organizations connected to Heukcheon.

They were all cut up, slashed, and killed.

To be honest, it is not at a level that an individual can do alone.

Of course, the reason Cheolsu was able to do this was because Secretary Park helped him knowingly or unknowingly.

From financial support and equipment supply to other information and follow-up.

I still hate Heukcheon, though.

If you have a common goal, there is no better partner.

Eugene is like that, and so is Secretary Park.

In any case, I am certain of that skill.

“Thanks to you, he has finally shown himself.”

“Revealing it?”

“I will protect it.”

Cheolsu took a portable ashtray out of his pocket and put out his cigarette.

Eugene looked at the scene quietly and asked.

“Are you going to kill that person?”

“uh.”

As if saying something very obvious.

It was a flat answer without tone.

Eugene also nodded.

It’s not that I don’t understand that feeling.

If Lime was killed by someone, he would make a similar decision.

“I’ve been through a lot of fights. There was also growth in the meantime. I think what I have now will be enough.”

“Hmm.”

Cheolsu lightly shrugged his shoulders.

“Well, you never know. I’ve done this much. That guy who will protect himself will also have his secret weapon ready for me.”

Jekyll is not an easy opponent.

It took a tremendous amount of time and effort just to get here.

A ruse for the madness he hides behind his face.

I don’t think it will be solved that easily.

“Maybe I could lose.”

“… … .”

It was different from sparring or losing in a test.

The place where Cheolsu stands is a real battlefield.

What if you run the risk of dying there?

No one wants to save him.

There is no device to protect you.

One small mistake could have resulted in an absurd death.

“So, I’m going to take out insurance.”

“Insurance?”

Cheolsu’s mouth, which had been answering without hesitation, closed for the first time.

He licked his lips several times.

But I hesitate again and again because I can’t seem to get it to fall into my mouth.

“If…..if I die… … .”

It’s like squeezing something.

It was as if he was barely suppressing something that was filling his heart.

Because I just don’t want to say this.

A toy I really liked,

Now that I’m older, I’m like a middle school student who forces himself to say no.

Cheolsu has a messed up face.

The treacherous person continued.

“Younghee, can you do me a favor?”

Eugene turned his head without answering.

Cheolsu’s face, hidden behind the hood, could not be seen.

Even Eugene doesn’t know the meaning of those words.

Cheolsu’s heart is-

I can’t even guess.

‘You’re really risking your life.’

How long did you hesitate before saying that?

How much thought did you have to worry about before coming here?

I felt like I understood a little bit.

Now, Eugene also has someone precious to him who cannot be replaced by anything.

“Well, I will take care of Younghee.”

Therefore, Eugene had no choice but to answer like that.

“But don’t die.”

It seemed like those words were really unexpected.

Cheolsu turned his head.

Eugene still spoke without changing his expression.

“If you die, who will take charge of our team’s lineman?”

There is no one who will team up with Assain again.

Above all, it is difficult to find a prosecutor who has withdrawn.

No, it would definitely be impossible.

Kick.

And Cheolsu bursts into laughter.

“Well. I’m the only one who can withstand your sameness.”

With that said, finally.

Cheolsu took his step.

No more words were needed.

Just like Eugene has a rhyme.

Cheolsu has Yeonghee.

Thinking over its meaning once again.

Eugene watched Cheolsu walking away.

“… … .”

That heroic appearance contrasted so much with his own.

It feels like the life of the main character in a real novel.

For some reason, I felt a little frustrated.

****

“Wow, that was hard!”

Lime returned home and threw himself on the bed.

Younghee and the class president were away for a moment.

Lime’s existence is still a secret in Heukcheon.

Just returning from an outing was something I needed to worry about.

“Still, it seems like there won’t be any major problems if you go outside now?”

“Well, time has passed. Because you have become that much stronger.”

Originally, Lime had magical limitations in operating in human form.

But looking at it today, it seems like there will be no problem at all.

Of course, he says it is unreasonable to use too much magical power.

Maybe there will be a future where we attend the academy together.

“So, what did the class president buy at the department store? We went together, right?”

“No, we acted separately. Since you were waiting, I decided to quickly buy what we each need.”

“Separately? Did you buy something too?”

Lime didn’t really need anything.

This is just a special situation because of Younghee.

Because it’s Lime who usually lives inside Eugene.

Even if there is, all you have to do is ask Eugene.

Lime slightly averted his gaze.

“Hmm, I’m starting to feel embarrassed again.”

“Hmm?”

His face even blushes as he wonders what’s going on.

He looks really embarrassed and doesn’t know what to do.

Soon the hand held out something hidden behind it.

“……Now, a gift.”

“……Huh?”

This time.

Eugene was completely entranced and froze.

Blank eyes look ahead.

Lime looks down with a bright red face.

A small white box tied with a ribbon was held out in front of it.

This was definitely a gift from her.

“Oh, say anything. I’m happy or something.”

“Oh, sorry. Because…it’s my first time receiving a gift from someone else.”

“……This is my first time giving a gift.”

An awkward yet sweet atmosphere surrounded the two.

Something different from the usual strange feeling.

As if you were tickling your chest with a feather.

An unbearable fresh feeling fills the two people.

“Can I open it?”

“Ugh, yes! It’s okay.”

Eugene carefully opened the box.

His eyes were round.

“Gloves?”

What was inside was none other than black gloves.

However, these are not ordinary gloves to use when it is cold.

Rather, it is closer to a leather glove.

The part where the fist was held was made particularly strong.

“Hmm! hmm! A trade used by heroes who fight with their fists.”

“Ah… … .”

“You fight with your bare fists! Well, smart kids like you have their bodies as assets. So rough-”

Lime was embarrassed and spoke gibberish.

But those words did not last until the end.

This is because Eugene suddenly hugged Lime.

“Hey, hey, wait a minute. I know I’m happy!”

As they hugged, Eugene kissed Lime.

As if holding something so precious.

It seems like he will never miss it.

Hugging me tightly and just lusting after my lips.

The two, who had been quietly hugging each other for a while, separated for a moment.

Unlike usual, Lime’s ears were turning red with embarrassment.

“Puha! Hmm! Why are you so active all of a sudden?”

“……Thank you.”

Eugene has the expression of a boy in love.

He looked straight into Lime’s green eyes and said.

My heart is pounding.

The sound of each other pounding could be heard.

Ah, isn’t that kind of look a foul?

“…….Really.”

Just a simple word and a look.

But the way you say that is so cute,

Because those eyes look so lovely.

Lime’s heart just melted.

This time there was no need to say who was first.

The two move at the same time and kiss.

Just like that.

The two stayed still, feeling each other.

In front of the door beyond that room.

The class president stood still.

The bag in his hand contained the chocolate he had bought earlier.

Eugene said as he passed by in the dungeon,

Chocolate is my favorite.

“… … .”

doesn’t say anything

No action.

No, I couldn’t do it exactly.

What else could I do here?

Because he knows that he will become unbearably miserable.

“Class leader, what are you doing there?”

“Ah, Younghee.”

Younghee, who came late, spoke up.

After hesitating for a moment, the class leader held up an envelope.

“Hey, I bought some chocolate earlier. Do you want to eat together?”

“Wow, is that okay?”

The class president said with a bitter smile.

“Yeah, I don’t really like chocolate.”
