77 – Hero Meeting
It was after hanging out with Ruina.
Grumble.
Large king size bed.
I heard the blatant sound of a belly button clock coming from Ruina, who was lying down next to me.
“Oh. hehehehe… ….”
Ruina was embarrassed and quickly covered her mortar-shaped abdomen with both hands.
“Now that I think about it, I haven’t had dinner yet.”
“I guess I’m hungrier after working out.”
“It’s exercise… ….”
Exercise is definitely exercise.
An intense full-body workout that will have sweat flowing from your entire body.
Anyway, it was already past 20 o’clock.
If it were a normal holiday, it would have been time to finish dinner a long time ago and curl up with Ruina on the sofa or in bed.
“Shall we go out and have dinner?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“hehehe. “I was just waiting for those words.”
Ruina jumped up from the bed with an exaggerated gesture.
“Anyway, what kind of restaurant is there in this hot spring?” ….”
In such a high-end resort, of course the restaurants would also be high-end.
Of course, I had no intention of saving money or anything like before.
My salary plus the 10 million won that went into Ruina’s account are definitely going to be FLEX today.
“Ruina. “What do you like for dinner?”
“Everything!”
I guess I asked a pointless question.
As if the mere thought of eating was so enjoyable, Ruina smiled brightly and took quick steps from her spot.
She was just about to check what restaurants there were on her cell phone while smiling at Ruina.
Knock.
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
Ruina and I turned to the door at the same time when we heard the clear sound of a knock on the door.
Immediately after that. Louis I didn’t do anything wrong, but she went under the blanket and hid.
“Who is it?”
I scratched the back of my head and approached the door.
Of course, I don’t remember ordering room service.
However, there was no way the person on the other side of the door was team leader Jang Se-hee.
If he were an agent of the National Intelligence Service, he would have just contacted me directly on my phone.
I opened the door with a natural question in mind.
Then, a shadow like a mountain fell on me from beyond the door.
“D-Draconius… ….”
Is this hero again…? ….
“Sorry for coming here suddenly, Handler. “Have you been resting?”
“I was resting, but… …. “What’s going on?”
I’m sure he didn’t come because of unresolved questions about Ruina.
So, did you come here because you doubt my qualifications as a hero?
I was in the middle of simulating the situation in my head and building up excuses for the situation.
“By any chance, have you eaten?”
“………… Meal?”
The words that came out of the mouth of the smiling Yongin were words that did not exist in my simulation.
* * *
“Wow!!”
Ruina opened her mouth wide and her eyes sparkled wildly.
What unfolded before her was a feast of food.
On a large round table, a dazzling array of high-quality dishes was spread out.
“I’m so glad you’re happy. “I was wondering if I might be doing something useless.”
Draconius pretended to wipe his sweat.
Anyway, does that body sweat? … ? I barely suppressed my desire to ask.
“Can I really eat all of this?”
“Of course. Please consider this as an apology for my rudeness and eat as much as you want.”
“I wasn’t planning on doing that.”
Before Louis could finish her sentence, she stuffed a dumpling the size of her own face into her mouth and muttered.
“Uhmhuhuhu.”
Is this a reaction to having been hungry for so long?
Ruina’s expression was literally in ecstasy.
“Now, let’s eat together, Handler.”
“Thank you… ….”
“Even the employees there.”
“……… ….”
Team leader Jang Se-hee, wearing short sleeves and shorts from a hot spring sauna, stood awkwardly next to me holding chopsticks.
At Draconius’s suggestion that he invite her to this dinner, I called her while she was cleaning up after her.
“Hmm. mmm… ….”
The food I put into my mouth with my chopsticks tasted amazing.
I would say that it has a taste that perfectly matches its luxurious appearance.
“Handler. “Are you having trouble with your mouth?”
“Oh, no. “It was so delicious that I was almost speechless.”
“hahahaha. Is that so.”
But those very words of Draconius silenced me.
After I had no choice but to announce that I was a hero.
Draconius was constantly calling me “Handler,” As if there was a sense of closeness between colleagues.
Honestly, I’m a wild hero…….
I felt uncomfortable being recognized as a hero by a veteran hero.
“Over there. “Did the settlement go well?”
While Draconius was eating various things with Ruina.
I asked, tapping team leader Jang Se-hee with my elbow.
“The training was completed quickly. “Thanks to the connection with Draconius, the villain was also safely captured.”
“Ah… ….”
Now that I think about it, there have been times in the past when I pretended to be a police officer and caught villains.
These people. The camouflage technique is enough to fool even heroes.
“Then why did Draconius call us?”
“Well, I don’t know? At least I don’t think the handler’s identity has been discovered… ….”
This was also the answer of the team leader, President Baji, who was not very trustworthy compared to his predecessor.
If he had been that blunt guy, he would have somehow figured out his intentions and let me know.
“Don’t worry about money and eat as much as you want. “It’s dinner I’m hosting as an apology.”
“Ah…. Ahahahaha.”
“Ah, I understand.”
While we were whispering like that.
We could only laugh at the words of Draconius, who placed his large arm on each of our shoulders.
“Mwu. Self. “What were you talking about besides me?”
“No, whatever. Just business… ….”
Oh my. I forgot this again.
Ruina, who had a mountain of food piled up on the plate in front of her, glared at team leader Jang Se-hee, who was clinging to her.
“Baby. “Ah~”
“Ah, Aang. Eup-eup.”
At least by having Ruina put food in my mouth, she let go of her anger that seemed to have risen slightly.
Yes, yes.
Of course, I have to take care of my girlfriend who gives me a cold look when I even talk to other women.
“A hero and a sidekick, but also lovers. “You really are a rare couple.”
“Yeah, right? hahahaha…….”
“Hmph.”
Is it because heroes are often separated from their lovers or families due to the dangerous nature of their jobs?
Draconius seemed to like the sight of us fooling around.
Louis I don’t think she likes the hero who pretends to be friendly for no reason.
It has to be that way.
Not long ago, they were fighting for each other’s lives.
“Anyway, handler, since when did you start playing a hero?”
“Yes? Ahhh…. “It hasn’t been that long.”
“What kind of ability do you have?”
“It’s nothing special. “It is invalid.”
“Hoo. Invalidated……. Hmm?”
At that moment, Draconius, who was relaxing his facial muscles, opened his eyes with wide, sparkling dragon eyes.
“Are you talking about the nullification of abilities? “Isn’t that an incredible ability!?”
Suddenly empty! He grabbed both of my shoulders like Draconius was hitting me.
Thanks to this, I exaggerated it a bit and felt like my shoulders were falling out.
“The noble person our heroes have needed all this time has finally arrived…” … !”
“No, no, no! There are so many flaws in my abilities! It’s not as great as Draconius thinks!? “Thanks to you, I failed the hero recruitment!”
I quickly refuted it in the face of Draconius, who clearly had high expectations of me.
This feeling of being overly expected.
It was exactly the feeling I had when I just entered the Hero Training Academy.
“I’m sorry. “I got so excited for a moment.”
“Everyone, that’s how they react when they hear about my abilities… ….”
“If you don’t mind, to what extent can the ability be nullified?”
“That… …. “I would say it’s all of them except mutants like Draconius.”
I answered with a clumsy smile.
Then Draconius blinked a few times,
“Isn’t it a great ability!? If you say it right, it means that we can neutralize that SSS-class villain, Ruina of Destruction!”
Crunch!
At that moment, the familiar name that came out of the hero’s mouth made me and Ruina blush reflexively.
The SSS level villain you are talking about is right next to you…….
“As expected, the relationship continues with the S-Class 12 cylinder… …. From the first time I met the teachers, I thought it was an unusual relationship…….”
Draconius was already showing an expression full of anticipation that no matter what excuses I made, it would be of no use.
I am also looking forward to how disappointed they will be when I find out that my abilities are in fact limited to touching and that the nullification time is only 3 minutes.
“Handler is a hero and you said you like heroes, right?”
“Yes? Ah, yes yes.”
“hehehe. Then, there is just the right opportunity.”
Huh? A good opportunity?
With natural doubts in mind.
I faced the faces of Ruina and Team Leader Jang Se-hee, who also had question marks above their heads, and tilted their heads to each other.
