44 – Our proud little brothers (Sujeong)
After finishing the contract, Are and I went up to the second floor and talked to Sooyoung-noona separately.
“Are you okay, sister? If you are injured somewhere…”
“I’m okay. And you know That I’m not the kind of person who would blink an eye at something like this. Rather, it was a little fun. It was as if I had personally experienced a scene that only appeared in a movie.”
“ha… Of course, that too…”
I began to feel a little relieved when I suddenly remembered that this older sister had the strongest steel mentality among all the people I knew.
After her husband died 10 years ago, she raised Ran by herself without anyone else’s help.
In addition, in the process, until she officially entered the military, she took care of me and never showed a sign of hardship, literally a woman of iron.
I could feel once again that the person in front of me was Han Soo-young.
Rather, she maintains a more calm appearance than us at this moment.
Next, my sister put a small smile on her lips as she looked at the two of us.
“And… more than anything else, I believed in him. About the two of you.”
“..yes?”
“what..”
“Yeah…isn’t it? One is an invincible lieutenant who has never been defeated, and the other is an A-class hunter who wrote a legend in the US Army. I believed that with your skills, you would surely keep me safe. And I actually did.”
“Yeah…that’s right, of course, but…”
I was a little taken aback by my sister’s unexpected words,
Seeing me like that, Suyeong noona put a bright smile on her lips.
“So, I… I’m really happy. I was proud again. I was able to see and feel with my own eyes that these strong and dependable people are my younger siblings.”
“Ummm..”
“… ”
As if she was a bit ashamed of hearing the unintentional compliment from her older sister, Aare blushed and said no more, and the same was true of me.
In addition, even though the method was not good, on the other hand, there was a little bit of pride in the fact that we were able to show our skills to my sister in this way.
“Then, I don’t think I’ll be able to see Ran off because she’s getting ready to go on a picnic, so take care both of you and go, ah. And when you go to Paris, take some pictures and send them to me.”
“I’m not going to play, but I’ll do that if possible.”
“Yes, I will take a lot of pictures and send them to you.”
Sooyoung noona jokes a little, and we accept it.
After saying goodbye to my sister, Are and I decided to go back to work right away.
This was because he had to inform others of the news, and there were many things to prepare before and after the start of the quest.
“Then, see you later.”
“Yes, be careful.”
Bones standing at the entrance of the cafe and politely greeting us.
Apparently, she didn’t show any signs of leaving right away, as if she still had some more tidying up here.
Right after we finished our errands there, we got in the car and left immediately.

“Haa.. Anyway, that was a bad start.”
I sighed and shook my head slowly. Looking at me like that, Are said in a calm voice.
“I agree. But.. if you think about it, it’s also a part that I don’t understand very much. As someone in charge of security, it would be natural to want to clearly check the opponent’s skills no matter what.”
“It is, but…”
Certainly, just as it is best to use things meticulously before purchasing them, it was only natural that there was a need for that on the other side as well.
It was especially true if it was a task that was carried out at a cost of not one or two pennies, but a large amount of money, and at the same time, if it was directly related to the life of a person… that of a high-ranking person.
“However. Still, wasn’t it a bit harsh that we even proceeded with a background investigation because of that? There could have been any other way…”
“… That would be the case, but… Well, you must have had your own circumstances. Judging by the fact that the down payment was doubled at once, it seems that he was already prepared…”
“Um…”
At first glance, he seemed like an executive at a large company, but I really didn’t know that he would do things so neatly and coolly.
Money is money, but honestly, that was the part that surprised me the most.
“Anyway, as much as I think the personality of the person who ordered these things is not very good, I think I need to be careful while working. Please let others know as well.”
“Yes, I will, Mr. Jinhyun.”
Lomborghini, carrying us, quickly left downtown Cheongju and headed for the company.
Still, anyway, the contract was concluded by inflating the price twice as much… And taking the fact that it was because my sister also made money, as a small comfort…

After Jinhyun and Are left…
Left alone, Bones let out a small sigh.
“Really… at times like this, this person is secretly a bad taste…”
Even though he was his master to whom he swore allegiance. To be honest, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly at the corners of her mouth when she gave orders like this.
In the end, it worked out well, but it always took a lot of effort, even for her, to match her master’s picky taste.
However, despite this, there was also a part that she understood on the other hand.
I want to protect my precious things safely and keep them for a little longer.
That his master’s actions conveyed such feelings, Boness, who had served him for years, knew very well.
While thinking about that, Bones went back into the cafe and sat down.
at that time..
“great job. As expected, the process was a bit cumbersome… but in the end, it was resolved smoothly, right?”
Right behind her in the chair.
From there… the person’s voice began to be heard.
“Yeah, honestly, I didn’t expect things to go this well. It started with choosing our side of the many and many requests.”
“So life is fun. Coincidence and coincidence continue endlessly, and it is bound to draw a very interesting picture.”
The person who speaks in a voice filled with interest.
To this, Vones said with a slightly subtle smile.
“… When someone sees you, you speak like someone who has lived for decades.”
“It doesn’t matter how long you live in the world. Even if you live 20 years, you know life better than someone who has lived 200 years.”
“What. It’s not that I don’t mind that when I look at you, though…”
With those words, Bones gulped down the cocoa in front of him.
Then, feeling the sweetness spreading in her mouth, she slowly shook the cup again and spoke in a calm voice.
“But… honestly, I was quite surprised. I heard about it, but I didn’t expect it to be able to defend itself so perfectly in such an urgent situation.”
“Yes, in terms of ability, it can be said to be the best. There is no one like him among the people I know.”
Even if there was no actual intention to attack, Lee Jin-hyun, who makes the best judgment in an instant in an unpredictable situation
Bones sincerely admired his ability to deal with it, and at this, the other person quietly smiled and drank another cup of tea.
As if you knew everything that would happen.
“Anyway, with this, the last puzzle is also filled, so you better prepare soon. It seems that the schedule is a little tight to meet the art exhibition time.”
“okay. That should be the case.. then.. I’ll take good care of our president.”
“Yes, I will do my best to help you well.”
The person who gets up from his seat with those words.
Then, Vones began to move slowly, following the man who began to move slightly faster.
