37 – Change (2)
Many emotions were seen on Sujeong Han’s face, who came to her in a hurry.
Relief, sadness, joy, worry, etc… The biggest of these was joy.
She was breathing heavily and had a bad posture, but she had a smile on her lips.
“What? What’s wrong with you? What’s wrong?!”
“…Senior…”
When I asked, taken aback by her sudden appearance, Sujeong Han stared at me.
Then he approached me silently and just hugged me tightly.
She spoke so quietly that only I could hear.
“I’m glad… I’m glad…”
“Uh… Sujeong-ah…?”
Lee Seo-jin was dazed and embarrassed as she saw Han Soo-jung hugging her.
Yoo Soo-ah and Yoo Seo-eun were a little displeased watching this.
She just watched silently, as if fully understanding.
※
After Sujeong Han came, we had a brief talk.
She talked about personal things like how things were going for her, how she was doing, and so on.
She expressed her deep gratitude, especially for helping her get treatment.
“Thank you so much. Sujeong-ah. For helping me get treatment in a place like this. I’ll definitely pay you back later.”
“Don’t say things like that. Rather, I’m grateful that my senior woke up like this.”
“…I guess I was a lot more serious than I thought?”
“…Yes.”
When Han Sujeong nodded her head in embarrassment, she thought deeply that she should not overdo it to the point of losing her mind again.
I also thought that I should train my body several times more in the future.
It would be nice if I didn’t have to step out later, but now that I know about my situation, I can’t rule out the possibility.
Besides, I don’t know if it was in the past. Because so many people are worried about me right now.
“…Yes. I’m sorry. I’ll be careful next time.”
“Really. Why did you come out then?! Do you know how anxious I was when I saw it?! How could other heroes not come out…!!”
“But if I hadn’t acted at that time, there would have been a major disaster.”
“…Ugh. That’s fine. Who can stop the senior’s stubbornness?”
Han Soo-jung smiled as if she couldn’t stop.
“By the way, I heard that you took care of the children while I was lying down? I am grateful that I even received treatment, but it caused trouble.”
“Ah… that’s it?”
Suddenly, Han Soo-jung hesitated for a moment and looked at her sister.
But what happened?
She looked at me with a slightly complicated gaze, smiled awkwardly, and gently shook her head.
“Aha… Yes. Well, I did. But they didn’t really take care of me. They took good care of me.”
“Do you take care of yourself?”
“Just what. They said they would take care of it if I gave them money?”
“Huh?”
If you give me money, I’ll take care of it.
I wondered what this meant, and after I was in a daze for a while, Yoo Seo-eun suddenly intervened.
“Ah. That! We did it because we could do it ourselves! We cooked our own meals and came to take care of my brother!”
“Still, my sister helped me a little, so it was helpful.”
“Ah… I see.”
Although I knew that her sister was doing just fine without anyone’s help.
Yoo Soo-ah grinned, and it must have been because of her mood that her words were a little harsh.
I could have done well even without that… Some kind of confidence? Proof of ability?
I had a glimpse of that, but I thought it was an illusion, so I decided to pass it on.
“You’ve been fine without me. Thanks. Kids. And I’m sorry.”
“Huh. It’s nothing special. What? If you’re sorry, please wake up.”
“That’s right. Brother’s healthy appearance is helpful to us?”
“But I think I need to stay longer now, so if you’re really sorry…”
Yoo Seo-eun, who was proudly looking at me, slightly stuck her head out towards me.
She knew right away what that meant, so she ran her left hand through her hair.
She seemed to want to be petted as well.
She smiled involuntarily as she sensed that although her body had grown, there was still a part of her mind that was a child.
“She’s grown up already. Doesn’t that mean she’s going to live alone?”
“No!”
“No!”
From noble mtl dot com.
It was said as a joke, but it must have sounded serious to her sisters.
Suddenly, the two reacted violently and shook their heads.
Then he stared at me and spoke as if declaring.
“I will always be by your side. Always! Always!”
“That’s right. Absolutely! You know it’s because you won’t fall even if you go later.”
“Huh? Uh… um…”
I can’t say anything at the sudden declaration, so let’s just stare at it.
Beside me, Han Soo-jung smiled a little and gently took my hand.
However, it did not end with holding her hand, and she touched her body as if taking care of her, such as touching her forehead with her hand.
“I think it’s because the kids are still grown but their minds are young. Maybe it’s because they’re scared.”
“That’s right?”
“Yes. More than that, what do you think of the senior’s body? Aren’t you dizzy when you wake up?”
“It’s okay. I’m fine. I rested a lot, how can I not be fine?”
“I’m glad. I wondered if there were any after-effects.”
As Han Soo-jung touched Lee Seo-jin’s body and smiled at her, her sister stared at her.
The two of them were making as good a face as possible, but their eyes were shining sharply.
I sent a warning, but I ignored it without caring about it, and a fight of nerves that only one person didn’t know was about to unfold.
Fortunately, Seojin Lee changed her subject and brought up her story, but she didn’t.
“By the way, did anything special happen?
“Yes? If it’s work…”
“I’m a little curious about this incident and what happened after that. What happened.”
“Ah… Come to think of it, I didn’t tell you that.”
Sujeong Han began to briefly explain what had happened.
About the incident, the progress that followed, the things about me that came out, and so on.
The most noteworthy among them was the explosion of a department store.
I couldn’t interrogate them because I cut them all at once, but I was able to figure out how the case was structured.
First of all, the bomb they prepared is a bio bomb.
When a neutral sends a signal to the core or dies, it immediately explodes at the same time.
It was difficult to detect because the person itself exploded, and that was why it was difficult to find even traces.
“Did you notice who was behind it?”
“No. Not yet. But… There are some strange rumors going around.”
“Strange rumors?”
“Yes. There is a saying that the villains are becoming one organization. It should be called a villain alliance.”
“Villain Alliance…?”
They’re showing up already?
At least they showed up when the war broke out…
No. Didn’t you say that fate had changed?
So it is better to exclude the common sense that I already knew.
If there’s anything that’s right, it’s about their composition and members. That probably won’t change
Then, if there’s someone who deserves to be punished for this…
“Is it Dr. Heyman…”
“Yes? Senpai. Do you know anything?”
“Huh? Ah…”
Oops. As I thought about it, my self-talk came out without my knowledge.
But this issue is pretty serious, so I said ‘I did it? ‘It’s a bit like passing it over.
The more attention is paid to the problem of the villain alliance, the greater the chance of easily stopping the war.
If you think so, it’s good that it’s already mentioned.
Let’s see… Then…
“Ah. That’s… I’ve been beating up a lot of villains since before, right? I think I’ve had a suspicious feeling since then. I remember something after I died and woke up.”
“Yeah?! Really? What was it?”
“Uh… Didn’t they say that heroes couldn’t be more than a fistful away because they joined forces? Ah. That’s right. Besides, didn’t the villains… use drugs before? I remember that too.”
“That. Tell me about that!”
Han Soo-jung, who instantly became serious at my words, stared at me.
Okay. I don’t know about anything else, but if it’s one sujeong, it will have quite a ripple effect.
Besides, H&A and the Hero Association said they were jointly investigating this issue, so it will definitely be of great help in the future.
“I mean…”
I started to tell the story according to the appropriate assortment.
Of course, you could say that the words of a B-rank hero have some power.
Now I am recorded as the guy who caught the most villains in the domestic association.
Wouldn’t it probably be rubbing against EXs overseas in terms of numbers?
Because I trained while others were resting, and fought while others were eating.
I’ve seen a lot of villains regardless of rank, so if I say that there was an abnormal phenomenon among them, it would be a little credible.
I never thought the experience of trying to die strong would be useful in a time like this.
“It’s an alliance of villains… It’s surprising that they’ve conspired from before, but Dr. Heyman is even more terrible. Thank you, senior.”
“Nothing. That’s all I can think of for now. If I can think of anything else, I’ll tell you.”
“It’s okay. It’s the hero’s job from now on. I’ll take care of it myself, so don’t worry, senior.”
Sujeong Han smiled brightly.
Maybe it’s because they somehow always look like energetic sisters.
Unbeknownst to me, my hand went up and stroked Han Soo-jung’s hair to support her.
“Yes, please.”
Then, Sujeong Han suddenly looked at me in a daze and made an incomprehensible sound.
“Eh?”
As he stared at me, his face grew redder, so he hurriedly removed his hand, wondering if he had made a mistake.
You say you’re close, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t just put your hand on someone’s head.
She seemed like a sister who always tried to act vigorously, so I apologized because I thought my hand went up without my knowledge.
“Ah! I’m sorry. I didn’t know how to stop… Are you mad?”
“Eh. Uh. Eh…”
In a daze, Sujeong Han made an incomprehensible sound and her face turned red.
Avoiding her gaze, she suddenly jumped up and left the room as if running away.
“Ah~! Something urgent came up suddenly! I’ll go first!!”
“Uh…? Uh…yes.”
As they disappeared in an instant, I had no choice but to wave my hand and see them off in a daze.
I was looking at it suddenly, wondering why, but I felt a prickly stare flying from somewhere.
When I turned my head, the sister was looking at me as if a cat was wary.
It’s surprising that Han Soo-jung did that, but just when you guys wanted to ask why, Yoo Seo-eun opened her mouth first.
“…Brother. I like Han Soo-jung’s style, right?”
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
“Like that older sister, with big breasts, short hair, and a cheerful personality… Isn’t that better?”
“Hmm? No? It’s not really like that…”
“…That’s not right. Because it’s right, I just stroked my hair and was distracted…”
“Uh… that’s…”
As the sisters became more and more moody and like a weak cat, her mind became complicated.
I knew from long ago that my personality would become ferocious (?) When I brought up the story of Han Soo-jung or ran into her.
Somehow this seemed to have grown into something worse.
Rather than that, I have to do something to ease the two of them… ?
‘I don’t know.’
I had a hunch that simply stroking his hair and praising him would not be able to free him.
So you have to do something else to free him. Then…
I went closer and hugged them both with both arms.
“No. I like you guys the most. How can I sell my mind over two pretty little sisters?”
Then Yoo Seo-eun and Yoo Soo-ah smiled as if they had never done that before.
As if he couldn’t win, he spoke softly, shyly so as not to be seen.
“…Okay.”
“I’ll take a look.”
“Yes. Yes.”
I think I somehow got over it, so I let go.
Lee Seo-jin had a hunch that as much as he had grown up, there would be a lot of eventful things going on.
