211 – Home (3)
The inside of the mansion was just as gorgeous as seen from the outside.
The first floor consisted of a living room, kitchen, and guest rooms, and my parents and my room were on the second floor.
Unusually, on the third floor, a study, various business rooms, and farming-related laboratories were widely spread out.
Certainly, it seems that the data related to him are well organized in the house, probably because his parents are rich in farming.
After entering the house, my parents went to the first floor to finish preparing the meal… Jooyeon Kang and I came to the second floor and were looking at my room.
Fortunately, the composition of the room was not much different from that of a house in Seoul, so even I was not embarrassed by my first room.
Kang Joo-yeon slowly swept her hand around the room and admired it.
“… It’s very wide.”
And sometimes I leave comments like this.
“hahahaha. Parents are all like that. You want to make everything better where your children live. Isn’t Jooyeon’s room like that too?”
When I asked with a trembling smile, Kang Joo-yeon nodded slightly.
Perhaps Kang Joo-yeon’s room was wider than this, but never narrower or smaller.
Compared to Kang Woo-hyun’s daughter’s love, my parents’ love for their son is on the level of medicine.
Kang Joo-yeon continued to look around the spacious room.
To be honest, I’m not interested in the interior, so there’s nothing to see in the room…
She looked around the room with a smile, wondering what was so interesting.
She looks somehow happy.
So I didn’t bother either.
Kang Ju-yeon looked around my room, and I looked at Kang Ju-yeon.
There was no conversation, but it was a surprisingly pleasant silence.
smart-
Then, suddenly, a knock was heard.
Before I knew it, my mother had arrived.
“Guys, the meal is ready. It’s just set up and won’t cool down even if you wait a while, so if you’re busy, finish everything and come down.”
“No, Mom. I’ll be right there.”
I responded straight away to my mother’s laughing words.
mother.
What are you imagining?
What are you busy with and what are you finishing in this short time?
It’s embarrassingly mischievous consideration.
Kang Joo-yeon must have understood her mother’s words only belatedly, and her face was blushing.
“greatness. let’s hurry. The rice will cool down.”
“… huh.”
Time anyway… It seems like I heard a scary back saying, but I tried to ignore it.
Anyway, after a short house tour and room tour, we headed to the first floor.
The dining room next to the living room.
The space is too large to be called a kitchen.
Inside, there was a table that could seat ten people.
and.
A banquet that made the upper legs bend greeted us.
“and… .”
Once again, admiration arises.
It seems that there are more than 10 basic side dishes, but the number of appetizers and main dishes is also equal.
A variety of food types regardless of land, sea, and air, quality that can be seen at a glance, and appropriate drinks that go well with the atmosphere…
Even colorful decorations that please the eyes as soon as they see it.
This is enough to fit the expression of Jinsu sacrament.
‘Mom is just as serious about cooking as I am.’
Surprisingly, the [Cooking] rune might have been a talent I originally had.
“mom. Did your mother do all this?”
So when everyone is admiring.
I sneaked up to my mother and whispered a question.
Then my mother beat me with her arm and performed ventriloquism.
“He is. You know that mommy can’t cook. Almost done.”
“… Do you want me to?”
I asked with a puzzled expression.
No, what kind of dishes are these in Haenam Ttangkkeut Village…
Do you deliver to my house, which is even more rural?
“The world has gotten better these days. If you give them a generous reward, they’ll come and cook for you, right? It was the first time I knew that Holders could cook so well.”
“… … .”
You wrote ＜Rune Food＞.
A catering buffet company that Kim Chae-eun also used before.
It seems that the holders of the Gwangju branch there were also sent on business trips to this place.
[Warp Gate] Considering the distance added to the cost, the money must have been quite broken, but seeing my mother’s smiling face, it seems that she doesn’t mind at all.
… As expected, they were parents who wrote passionately when writing.
“Everyone sit down. Joon-yeon, you too, come and sit down.”
“Yes, mother.”
Anyway, we were seated at a lavishly set table.
After sitting down for a while, the ‘guest’ my father mentioned earlier also came.
He was tall enough to be considered a giant and had black hair.
The clothes look sloppy but feel good.
He was an ordinary middle-aged man, one you would easily see in Seoul.
“Greetings, Jaehyun. Jisung Kim, the holder I mentioned earlier.”
My father pointed to the guest and told me.
It’s the first name I’ve ever heard of as a holder.
But in my house, a customer who works with my father.
I greeted him with a polite bow.
“Hello, senior. My name is Do Jae-hyeon, a sophomore from Seoul Holder Academy.”
However, the reaction of a man named Kim Ji-sung was strange.
As if you didn’t expect to see me here.
He was looking at me and my father alternately with a puzzled face.
“Boss too. Could it be that your son was Do Jae-hyun’s holder?”
“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”
“… Yes, not at all.”
“hahahaha. Yes, that’s right. Do Jae-hyun, who often appears in the news these days, is my son. ha ha ha.”
I was convinced when I saw my father laughing cheerfully.
… You didn’t say it on purpose.
My father was just as gifted as my mother.
He didn’t mention it at all because he feared it would be burdensome for me, but he seemed to be secretly happy to see my name appearing in articles and news.
‘… Should I appear in the news more often?’
Actually, I was bothered by being famous, so I hid it as much as possible, but for filial piety, I might have to change direction.
Anyway, the holder named Kim Ji-sung scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.
That feeling is understandable enough.
If you know me, you probably know Kang Joo-yeon, but it was embarrassing to meet me with the only daughter of ＜Judgement by Fire＞ out of nowhere in the countryside.
But the reason he was embarrassed was probably not because we were famous.
“Do Jae-hyeon Holder, can I speak more comfortably?”
“Ah, yes. of course. You are my father’s guest.”
“then… .”
After a moment of hesitation, he asked me.
“Then, by any chance, do you know the name Park Jin-woo?”
An unexpected name came out of Kim Ji-sung’s mouth.
Park Jin-Woo?
Why is Jinwoo Park here?
I blinked blankly and looked at him.
“Are you Jinwoo?”
“huh. I know you are in the same grade.”
“yes that’s right. He’s my friend, Jinwoo. But what about Jinwoo? ”
How do you know each other?
I swallowed those words behind me and looked at him.
However, Kim Ji-sung’s face changed from embarrassment to joy before he knew it.
My answer is that he is friends with Jinwoo.
That must have been the answer to something that solved his itch.
and soon.
A shocking word from Kim Ji-sung.
“Nice to meet you. I am the person who will become Jinwoo’s father.”
“… yes?!”
My startled voice fills the dining room.
Park Jin-woo’s father?
what the hell is this… .
* * *
After a stormy lunch.
Mom and Dad were away for a while.
He said he had to come and see the field for a while, but I could see he moved out of the way so we could talk comfortably.
Both of them would have wanted to meet up with their son, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time, but they showed deep consideration for an issue that seems to be important to us.
“that… The real Jinwoo father… please?”
That’s how me and Kang Joo-yeon.
And the living room left by Kim Ji-sung.
I asked about a topic that has been the biggest topic of discussion since a while ago.
Park Jin-woo’s father.
This was obviously something that had never been seen in the original story.
‘ah. Did it just come out?’
The father’s name or appearance has never been revealed, but traces have been mentioned.
My father is so wanderlust that he wanders all over the country.
So, like the wild goose father, he comes into the house from time to time.
But that was all that passed by.
The most detailed description of Park Jin-woo’s family was his younger brother Park Yoon-seo, who was kidnapped in the ‘Academy Raid Case’.
Kim Ji-sung answered my question with a smile.
“hahahaha. Then, is he a real father or a fake father?”
… You look like a fake father?
The words rose to the top of my throat.
No, that’s not the case either…
They really don’t look alike at all.
From the features to the way of speaking, the atmosphere, the gestures… .
There is nothing that resembles Park Jin-woo.
In the first place, the name is Kim Ji-sung.
Then this is a pseudonym… ?
My expression filled with various questions.
Seeing this, Jisung Kim nodded.
“I understand. There must be a lot of things that don’t connect. hmm… What should I say?”
After thinking for a moment, he snapped his fingers.
“okay. Showing is faster than talking.”
“… … !!”
as soon as the words are finished.
At that moment, Kang Joo-yeon and me flinched.
A sudden change in ambient air.
It was because Kim Ji-sung’s body suddenly began to radiate intense magical energy.
The mana derived from his fingertips and legs slowly climbed up his body, covering his entire body.
Incredibly fast expression and fine control.
It was his [Magic Control] that I could feel deep knowledge of.
High-ranking holders can roughly grasp the level just by using magical powers.
Kim Ji-sung is such a case.
He was clearly a high-ranking holder who showed excellent use of magic power to the point that Kang Joo-yeon and I admired it.
‘what.’
And his external changes that followed.
I looked at the scene with a startled expression.
“How are you? Do you look a bit like Jinwoo’s father now?”
what?
Is it [Polymorph]?
His clothes, which were laggy, were the same, but his face had completely changed.
Distinct features and clear eyes.
A cheerful atmosphere full of passion.
He really resembles Park Jin-woo.
Being Park Jin-Woo’s father was an appearance that was accepted at once.
“The name of this face is Park Ji-hwan. In fact, it is also my real name.”
“really… Your name?”
“okay. You can’t give your wife or your son a false name. Well, and this… .”
One more time.
At his fingertips, magic power rises intensely like sparks.
The perfect disguise that I showed you earlier.
It seemed like he was trying to show it again.
and… .
“This is a face named Ryu Ji-hyeok. It’s probably the face you know best.”
A man with a sharp impression, completely different from Kim Ji-sung or Park Ji-hwan, appeared in front of us.
And as he said…
It was a face that Kang Joo-yeon and I knew very well.
“Ryu Ji-hyeok Holder… .”
Holder whose name and face have been featured in articles many times.
Five holders that Koreans are proud of.
A holder who appears only occasionally, and is nicknamed the ‘Mystical Holder’.
Following Yu Eun-seol, another independent S-class.
It was Ryu Ji-hyeok holder.
