I Picked Up the Hero and the Demon King chapter 40

40 - Daily life (1)

40 – Daily life (1)

A refreshing morning.

When I opened my eyes, the warm sunlight greeted me.

I woke up feeling several times more comfortable than when I slept in the hospital.

“Huh?”

Always when I woke up, Soo-ah Yoo or Seo-eun Yoo were sleeping next to me, but they weren’t there.

After lying down for a month, I wondered if I woke up too late, so I checked, but the time always wakes up at 7:00.

So that means Yoo Soo-ah woke up earlier than me.

Seeing that the person who woke up later than me every time woke up early, I felt something awkward.

“I want to be in the living room.”

I ran my hand through her messy hair and got off the bed.

Looking in the mirror, there was an old man who was a little less tired.

That time when you are about to go to the bathroom to wash your face.

I felt something strange.

‘Yes… ? What. Why is your mouth so moist?’

Did you even drool in your sleep?

Or have your sleeping habits changed badly after lying down for a long time in the hospital?

I’m not sure why, but I could feel a little bit of saliva in her mouth.

I’m sure the kids won’t be able to see it. It seems like a bad sleeping habit, so I need to fix it quickly.

Simply go to the bathroom in the room, wash your face, and go out to the living room.

The sisters who were already preparing breakfast greeted me warmly.

“Hello brother!”

“Good night. Brother?”

“Hello. Did you guys sleep well?”

“Of course. I always sleep well.”

“Whoops. I had a good night too.”

Yoo Seo-eun with an elated attitude and Yoo Soo-ah with a full smile.

But I felt a little strange.

Unlike usual, Yoo Soo-ah’s smile seemed to be brighter.

Something with more joy than normal joy… ?

I guess it’s because I had a good dream.

She decided not to mind and moved on.

While eating breakfast, we talked about things that we always had.

Is it just because I’ve been lying down for a month?

Talking with her sister seemed a little more enjoyable today.

“More than that, kids. Now that you’ve become superhuman, you have to take a test to measure your ability.”

“Ah. That…? I heard about it from Han Soo-jung.”

“I was putting it off because I needed a guardian. What is the ability measurement test. Brother?”

“So what is that…”

I explained to my sister about her competency test.

Simply put, it was a format in which the measurement was completed by raising the hand once.

However, it is quite sophisticated and accurate, so even if it looks simple, the details and evaluation of the ability. The maximum potential ability rank was found.

Just in case… After all, it’s a sister’s ability.

‘How to hide a sister’s abilities? That way there won’t be any problems… ‘

The best way is for the sisters to get an A grade.

However, the problem was that even if the size of the current force was small, the prosecutor would dig it up and let you know.

It’s not like the sisters are good enough to fool the prosecutor itself.

Then, the only thing you can decide is where to get the measurement…

‘Association would be better… ‘

I had a conversation with Kim Seong-yeon, the president of the association, and I think I could pass it on if I asked for a favor.

The problem is that the position and power of the president of the association are divided by at least 1/7, so there is a possibility that it will not work.

In addition, there is a possibility of refusal due to his integrity and innocent personality.

We’ve had conversations, but we haven’t had a deep relationship yet.

Then it’s a hero company… This is also a company, so it’s hard to keep an eye on the sisters…

‘Oh.’

There was one place that immediately came to mind.

H&A. Han Soo-jung’s company.

How can I ask for a favor… I want to, but the problem is that I get help again.

It seemed a little like that because people are shameless that they continue to receive help.

… No. Does not matter.

Isn’t it something you have to do even if you’re a shameless person?

Preventing war. Leading both of them well.

It’s something I have to do, so if I received help, I’ll have to repay Han Soo-jung.

I don’t know how to repay that.

For now… I have no choice but to speak out.

“Hmm~ I see. But can I not take that?”

“All superhumans get it. If you don’t, you get arrested.”

“Ugh. Then you should get it!”

“By the way, brother. What happens if you get a high grade there?”

“Huh? Ah. That’s…”

He hesitated for a moment at Yoo Soo-ah’s question, but immediately gave her answer.

“I’ll probably become a promising star, and all sorts of scouts will fly in. Whether it’s from an association or a company. The higher the rank, the more enthusiastic people are.”

“Like the reporters who are trying to meet your brother outside right now?”

“Hmm… that’s how it is.”

After being discharged from the hospital, I was surrounded by reporters and unintentionally conducted an interview.

The words are interviews, in fact, to fill up the reporters’ gossip.

I left immediately, but after that, they camped out around my house, trying to get an interview about me.

They say that I somehow get out of it, but her sister’s skills are still immature, so when she goes out, she’s having a hard time.

“I’m sorry. You made me look bad because of me.”

“No! Why is that your fault? The reporters out there are the problem!”

“Don’t worry too much because we don’t have much to do outside.”

“Ahhhhh thanks.”

Her sister seemed to be okay, but she rather encouraged me.

“Anyway, if you become a high-ranking hero, will you be very busy?”

“Yes. S rank is also busy, but EX rank is playing overseas. Especially EX is virtually untouchable. So they only work with money.”

“Money?! Are you saying you make a lot?”

“Yeah. But there are a lot of hassles… Above all, you won’t be able to live in peace like this anymore.”

“Why?!”

“Why?!”

When I said that we couldn’t live together, the sister looked at me seriously.

From noble mtl dot com.

As if this kind of life was precious to the two of them, it was a look of concern that it would not disappear.

Even though I’ve grown up, I still feel like I’m useful because I feel like I need to be taken care of.

“Well… EX ranks are getting a lot of attention worldwide, and S ranks are getting a lot of attention in Korea. They are often sought after, and it’s not like villains don’t appear often, so I have a lot of time to work.”

“What if I want it? What if I just give up getting an S rank or higher?”

“It’s not going your way… If that’s the case, the number of heroes in S and EX right now would be small.”

“Then I’d rather just get a lower rank from the beginning.”

“It’s easier said than done. The swordsman is quite tricky, so it’s impossible to hide his power.”

In the past, when tests were mediocre, there were cases where measurements were wrong or low.

Because of that, a lot of incidents happened, and there were cases where the number of villains also increased.

“I see…”

“I see…”

The sister seemed to be thinking about something and then nodded her head.

Do you know what kind of power they have?

It’s worth noticing that the two of them have a mature mind, but… I just wished I didn’t know.

“Well. It’s true that the maximum potential is S or EX! There are very few of them, so you don’t have to worry about them coming out.”

“But you never know. If I come out and spend less time with you…”

“I really can’t stand it…”

“Ahahahaha…”

With sad eyes, the sisters became slightly depressed.

Seeing that, I just smiled awkwardly.

Out after breakfast.

I was out to talk to Han Soo-jung for a while.

You can talk on the phone at home, but if you hear the phone call, it will change badly…

The call was connected and rang a few times before I heard the sound of Sujeong Han answering.

“Hello? Sujeong-ah. Am I busy?”

[Uh. Senior. What’s going on?]

“Ah. That’s…”

I started explaining to Han Soo-jung.

Why don’t you do the sister’s competency test at your company instead of at the association?

However, when a high rank comes out, can’t you hide it a little… In that way.

Of course, this is something I should never say, but since I had to do something, I had no choice but to say it.

[Hmm… It’s a bit strange, but… So, senpai doesn’t want them to rank high, right?]

“It’s like that. When I asked, they didn’t like it either.”

[Hopefully. Not everything is good at high ranks. Besides, I’m still young… I’ll think about it.]

“Thank you.”

Fortunately, when the possibility of things going well appeared, I let out a small sigh of relief.

But does this make Han Su-jeong upset?

I spoke with a tone of dissatisfaction.

[By the way, senior. If there’s something weird~ related to them, they’ll take off their feet wholeheartedly?]

“Hmm? Ah… well… just like a younger sister. Family… isn’t it?”

[Family. It’s a family… No. Aren’t you taking care of it too much though? I feel like I’m being neglected these days. It feels like being pampered with a tool?]

“That’s right?! I didn’t mean to do that at all!”

Embarrassed, Lee Seo-jin stuttered her words, and Han Su-jeong smiled.

As if she had a tight grip, she hurriedly thought about what to say, and then spoke her words as if she couldn’t help it.

[Hmm~ What. I’ll understand. Instead, I think you should do a little more for me as much as I asked for… ]

“What can I do? But there’s nothing I can do…”

Then, Han Sujeong took a deep breath and she said a certain word.

And that was enough to harden Lee Seo-jin.

[Let’s go on a date. We.]

“…… Huh?”

Even though she stopped thinking for a moment and was alone outside, she stared blankly into space.

… What did I just hear?

Dating… ?

…… Ah! Wait a minute, that’s it.

Just like when we met before… Something like that

“Uh… ah… ah! That. What. Just like we met before?”

[No. It’s a date. Men and women meet and play together… A date like that.]

“…… Huh?”

I was speechless again at the firm reply I heard again.

So now… Something a lover would do… Is it okay to do it?

But you say you’re doing it with me?

“Uh. That. Isn’t that something you do with someone you have a crush on…?”

[…] If so?]

“Huh?”

[That crush. What if I say I have a senior?]

“Uh…”

I felt even more dazed than before, as if my head had been hit by a hammer.

I don’t know what to say, and I can’t think of anything, so my mind is blurry.

Put across the phone. I heard Sujeong Han’s laughter.

[Pufusu. Senior. Why are you not talking? Were you nervous because you were shy?]

“Uh… uh? That. That…”

[Fuhahahaha! It looks real.]

“…”

[Okay. Okay. Just kidding… It’s a bit far fetched to say, but I’d say it’s half a joke. I just want to meet you two. Even when we were on the same team in the past, we worked together, right?]

“It was…”

[It’s like that. Then you know that… Call me again later! I have work to do.]

Duduk─

Call disconnected.

However, Lee Seo-jin was still staring blankly into the air, and she recalled the conversation that had just taken place.

A crush, a date, a lover, etc… As countless words related to love come to mind, I feel my face getting hotter and hotter.

“Uh… go in…”

Although she was disconnected, Lee Seo-jin only muttered blankly, as if she was still doing it.

Perhaps this state will last for quite some time.

However, this change was not the only one.

“Huh. Han Sujeong. Where are you hurting? Why is your face so red—”

“Noisy. Just go. It’s fine.”

“Huh? Ehh… Mi.Sorry?”

Han Soo-jung, who spoke up, also couldn’t stand the shame and joy.

She praised herself for

Her words and began to imagine what to do next.
