Chapter Index

    “Who…?”

    “Chinese?”

    Feng Liu suddenly appears through a door in the sky, with a meteorite in her hand.

    Bae Yeon-hee and Seo Na-young looked at Feng Liu and me in turns.

    Since Feng Liu spoke Chinese as she passed through the door, the two people did not immediately understand what she said.

    Crash-

    First, I reached behind the sofa, pulled out the key, and closed the door.

    If I wasted time explaining the situation, someone on the other side might find the door open in midair.

    ‘I can’t give them a reason to track me down.’

    And only after making sure the door was closed did he introduce the group to each other.

    “Feng Liu, these two are my colleagues. This is Bae Yeon-hee, and this is Seo Na-young. I should introduce them to you guys. This woman is Feng Liu. She is a superpowered person from the Chinese Blue Dragon Corps. There was an incident in China, so she decided to join as a colleague starting today.”

    Although I introduced them as colleagues, just like Feng Liu, Bai Yanxi and Seo Nayoung actually follow me as their leader.

    They didn’t join hands with me to become heroes. They worked under Kang Da-kyung and were abandoned by me.

    Feng Liu, who first abandoned the unreliable Chinese government and joined me, also left his original organization at a different time, but it can be said to be a similar case.

    So, I was able to share about meteorites without hiding anything.

    Strictly speaking, stealing a meteorite could be considered a serious crime that could have implications for international relations… but the people here weren’t the type of people who cared about such things.

    And I was thinking of making them each a tool made of starlight. Even if they weren’t necessarily artifacts, they should be useful enough.

    Just like the train villain that became the material for the Synergy Bangle, Starlight basically has the effect of enhancing superpowers. Depending on how you use it, tools with Starlight in them may be more useful than ambiguous artifacts.

    ‘Come to think of it… It was all my fault that the two people were suspected by Kang Da-kyung and abandoned, and that Feng Liu lost trust in the Chinese government and came to Korea.’

    It was a funny coincidence.

    At the time it happened, it wasn’t intentional at all, but looking back, it seems like I was playing a trick on him.

    “… China? What kind of Chinese superpowered person would come to our country to eat something? Are they perhaps a criminal on the run?”

    Flick.

    Seo Na-young came down from above me while I was lost in thought, placed her hand on my waist, and asked. Her displeasure was evident in her frowning and bent upper body.

    Although her pose may seem cute due to her appearance, her attitude is completely different from before.

    He also gave off a secretly murderous vibe, as if someone might think he was a villain.

    I looked at that sight and laughed inwardly.

    ‘This was originally Seo Na-young.’

    Seo Na-young is a woman who has a complex about her height, but it seems like she acts arrogantly because of it.

    Should I say it feels like a mess?

    The fact that he hugged me and sat on me as soon as we met meant that he was very happy to see me after only a few days.

    I shook my head at her suspicion that Feng Liu had lied about his past and joined as a colleague.

    “He’s not a criminal. Well, he ran away, abandoning his status as a member of the Blue Dragon Corps, so the Chinese government might judge him that way.”

    “You’re not a criminal? Then why… Is it because you have dark intentions toward Minho?! You, you! Don’t be mistaken and think that Minho was kind to you!”

    She scolds me by calling me by my real name, not by my hero name, Ignis.

    It was a funny situation where we were picking a fight in Korean with a Chinese person, but Feng Liu understood everything we were saying.

    Because the nanobots inside her were still interpreting on the spot.

    “Minho… ?”

    Thanks to that, Feng Liu learned my real name, which he had not known before, and turned his head towards me.

    Seeing that, Seo Na-young judged that she had the upper hand, so she leaned back and muttered in a quiet tone.

    “Huh… You didn’t know? Ignis’ real name is Minho. Well, even if you have dark intentions, you don’t have to worry. If you didn’t know such a simple thing.”

    ‘How long has it been since I found out…?’

    Actually, Seo Na-young also learned my name when she introduced me to the Lee sisters together with Bae Yeon-hee.

    It was definitely before that when he first met her, but it wasn’t that long ago that he learned of her true identity, or secret identity, as they say in the hero genre.

    It was funny how he was trumpeting like that based on something he found out just a few days ago.

    Even Seo Na-young, with the simple advantage of knowing my name, pressed her cheek against mine and rubbed it against mine as if she were my lover.

    Well, since we’ve seen both of our bad sides, it’s understandable that we wouldn’t be able to do this much skinship. That is, as long as it wasn’t to provoke someone.

    “Ugh… ”

    As expected, when I saw it, it seemed like a comedy, but at this point, even Feng Liu seemed to be getting annoyed with Seo Na-young, who was starting to get angry.

    However, since they seem to have become my colleagues before me, I cannot act rashly towards them and am just observing them.

    In this place, it was obvious that Feng Liu was following the Chinese government’s instructions. Should I say that the water level was low?

    Or maybe he was just holding back because he found it difficult to answer in Korean.

    The nanobots could translate the language they heard into Korean, but they could not manipulate her vocal cords to change Chinese into Korean.

    It was a happy story for me. If Feng Liu were to reveal right here and now that we had sex to prove how close we are, how much of a headache it would be…

    “… We had sex too! I told you I’d do it again if you did a good job!”

    “Ah.”

    At the same time that I was worrying about that, Feng Liu made a bombshell announcement.

    I forgot.

    The women here are similar to real men. It is not strange that they feel awkward and wary when a rival they never knew existed appears, and that sex is accepted as a kind of achievement.

    The only thing that’s advantageous to me is that if a man is capable, meeting multiple women is not considered a flaw like cheating or adultery.

    When I made rice bowls with the Lee sisters, I also took advantage of this difference from reality.

    ‘… But, aside from me, I haven’t seen any men with that ability yet. And that’s a problem when the relationship between women isn’t bad.’

    Of course, basic human emotions such as jealousy were bound to exist.

    I thought it would be okay because although Feng Liu was a virgin, she didn’t seem like a child.

    It seems that Seo Na-young’s provocation was more effective than expected.

    Perhaps the only fortunate thing is that Seo Na-young was unable to react properly because Feng Liu’s bombshell remark was in Chinese.

    She was stiff at Feng Liu’s Chinese, as if she had a fear of foreign languages ​​that didn’t match her gorgeous blonde hair.

    In this world, things like hair color have absolutely nothing to do with nationality, so it wasn’t unusual for Seo Na-young, a native Korean, to stiffen up like that.

    I looked at the sight and sorted out my thoughts.

    ‘If I talk nonsense before Seon-a-young comes to her senses here…’

    But as if heaven was punishing me for trying to solve things too easily, this time Bae Yeon-hee, who had been quietly watching the situation until now, stepped forward.

    “… Is that true? You two have already slept together?”

    “What?!”

    Seo Na-young, who realized that she had been hit with an unexpected counterattack from Bae Yeon-hee’s words, jumped up and shook my shoulder.

    Jjal jjal jjal

    “That’s a lie?! You two slept together?! You said you were supposed to meet today! When on earth…?!”

    Even as my brain was shaking because of Seo Na-young, my gaze was directed at Bae Yeon-hee, who understood Feng Liu’s Chinese.

    “No, since when have you been learning Chinese… ”

    “The organization my father was in in the past had ties to the Chinese Triads. I learned it then. I think my father wanted to teach his daughter Chinese conversation so that she could use it for the organization. He died before he could do anything properly. I also learned it as a second language in school.”

    ‘Is that so…?’

    How could I have predicted that Bae Yeon-hee’s background of having a gangster father would come back like this?

    Anyway, thanks to Bae Yeon-hee interpreting Feng Liu’s words, the office became a mess.

    “This sloppy bastard…! He goes around picking on random women…!”

    Where did the cute appearance of Seo Na-young sitting on my lap go? She’s now running wild and talking nonsense.

    “… … .”

    Feng Liu realized that he had blurted out words because he was excited, and quietly crouched down.

    And even Bae Na-young, who interpreted and detonated the bombshell that Feng Liu dropped.

    These are… my colleagues?

    It was a dizzying sight.
