125 – 125. The Great War (0)
Ahn Su-ho, who was classified as injured and evacuated to a nearby hospital, was able to be discharged the same day. Although he was injured, it was thanks to the doctor’s judgment that he would quickly recover thanks to the midsummer potion that remained in his body. Even if he was hospitalized, he had nothing to do and was just bored, so it was a good thing as Ahn Soo-ho.
-Tiriririri.
At that time, An Su-ho’s cell phone rang. It was a call from Kang Ha-neul.
That day, dozens of missed calls from Kang Ha-neul piled up on Ahn Su-ho’s phone. It was because Kang Ha-neul, who couldn’t overcome his anxiety when he returned his abilities, called Dan several times.
After being transported to the hospital, they called to say that they were all right, but Kang Ha-neul’s anxiety didn’t seem to go away. Suho Ahn answered the phone with his tongue hanging out in worry.
“Oh, heaven. What’s the matter?”
– Huh. Huh Eok. Oppa, you said you were going to be discharged today, right? Huh Eok. Where are you now?
“We are still in front of the hospital. Why?”
-5 Minutes. Huh Eok. No, wait three minutes, wait three minutes.
“Heaven? What’s up? And why are you gasping for breath like that?”
-Wait right there…… ! At the front door of the hospital! Did you know, heo-eok, did you know?
“Heaven?”
– Boom.
Ahn Su-ho tilted his head at the last phone call that ended. Still, let’s wait for a while, and he waited in front of the hospital for about 2 minutes.
“Brother!”
Ahn Soo-ho finally grasped the situation when he saw Kang Ha-neul rushing towards him from afar.
“Brother! Huh Eok. Are you okay?! You said you were hurt! You’re not seriously injured!? Huh Eok. Are you seriously hurt?! Po, potion! Huh! Shall I bring a potion?! Ha, there must be a few left over for practice in the school supply room-“
“Calm down, calm down! I’m fine, so calm down for now. Look. You’re fine If I hadn’t been fine in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the hospital.”
“Heo Eok. That, that’s right however. Huh Eok. I’m worried, I’m worried…….”
“I was afraid you would be like this, so I texted you that it was okay… …. It’s the exam period, but I have to study. It will take three hours by bus from Sokcho to here.”
“So. Huh Eok. I came by taxi…… “
“What’s so far-“
– Imprisoned.
What do you do to such an extent? The moment Suho Ahn was about to ask, Kang Ha-neul buried his face in his chest. She took her breath away slowly, holding her breath in Ahn Su-ho’s arms.
“Yeah, it was because I was worried… ….”
When Ahn Soo-ho returned his abilities to Kang Ha-neul. Kang Ha-neul was worried that he might be wrong. After that, even after he received a call from him that he was safe, the anxiety that arose once did not go away.
Actually, I’m not all right, but I’m not fine, but I wonder if he said that to reassure himself.
“I can’t even focus on my studies because I’m worried anyway. Besides, there is no one to meet you when you are discharged from the hospital. That’s why I came to meet you like this.”
“You really… ….”
“Really good? Hee hee.”
Kang Ha-neul answered playfully and laughed. Ahn Soo-ho, who raised both hands and feet at that smile, let out a relieved sigh and stroked her hair. As if the river sky was pleasant, she clung to him like a cat.
“It feels like I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
“It’s been a while. I was with you this morning too.”
“It just feels that way. Well, come to think of it, less than 24 hours have passed since we broke up.”
After saying that, Kang Ha-neul’s cheeks turned red. She stamped her feet as if she was ashamed of recalling the affair he had with her late at night or early in the morning.
Kang Ha-neul gently leaned on Ahn Su-ho’s arms. He could feel his heart beating against his hard chest.
‘It really hasn’t even been a day yet… ….’
I couldn’t believe that I was lying naked on the bed just a few hours ago, just as I was in his arms now. However, it was clearly a fact.
Kang Ha-neul was connected with Ahn Su-ho. He became romantically involved with him. Even though Ji Ye-won was a thorn in the eye, the two now knew that they loved each other.
It was the appearance of the two right now that clearly shows the change in that relationship. Kang Ha-neul does not know how to fall for several minutes while being held in Ahn Su-ho’s arms. If they were close brothers and sisters like before, there was no way this level of skinship would be possible.
– Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.
The sound of your heart beating faster and faster. Is the beat his own, or is it Suho Ahn’s?
Kang Ha-neul silently raised his head buried in Ahn Su-ho’s chest. Ahn Su-ho was looking at an ambiguous place, neither in front nor to the side. He blushed slightly.
“That, the sky…… “
Ahn Suho lowered his gaze and whispered. Hearing that trembling voice, Kang Ha-neul felt better for no reason and asked happily.
“Why? Brother?”
“…… People around. Everyone is watching us now.”
“Eh…… ?”
Only then, Kang Ha-neul suddenly came to his senses and looked around. As the saying goes, people walking in front of the hospital were each casting their eyes at the two. It was only natural that he was openly salting at the entrance of the hospital.
“Eh… …. Uh uh to?”
“…… Let’s go somewhere else for now.”
Her shyness made her face ripe like an apple. Holding her hand in the sky, Ahn Su-ho led her. Kang Ha-neul was ashamed to the point of going crazy. It was embarrassing that other people were staring at their affectionate acts, and it was embarrassing that before that, he had been clinging to Ahn Su-ho endlessly like a cat.
But more than anything else, what made her feel ashamed or thrilled was her hands on her hands. Seeing him casually leading her hand in hand, Kang Ha-neul realized that the relationship between herself and An Su-ho had really changed.
“… ….”
The river and the sky, her cheeks hot as if they were about to burn, bowed her head in silence. Silently, but with a small smile on his lips, Kang Ha-neul walked as Ahn Su-ho led.
“…… Where are we going?”
“Black Dragon Association Gangwon-do Branch. My car is there, so let’s get in it and go home.”
The place where the two were located was Chuncheon City. The grave of the knight was located in Inje-gun, but the injured were transported to the university hospital located in Chuncheon.
It takes about 20 minutes by car to reach the Black Dragon Society branch. Ahn Su-ho went out to the main road and took a taxi and headed straight to the Black Dragon Society.
Ahn Soo-ho arrived at the Black Dragon Building shortly after and headed to the underground parking lot. The moment he was about to go to his car that he had parked.
“Hmm? You… ….”
Ahn Suho encountered a familiar face in an underground parking lot. He’s familiar, though he’s a guy I’ve only seen once.
“Jo Gwangil Hunter…… ?”
Even if it was just once, how could I forget the faces of the comrades I fought with? When Ahn Soo-ho recognized his face, Jo Gwang-il approached him without hiding his delight.
“Ohhh! You recognize me. Yes! I was taken to the hospital, and then I must have been discharged right away! Wasn’t that a very serious injury?”
“That’s right. For Jo Kwang-il Hunter-“
“A rough light control hunter, something like a light control hunter! Just feel free to call me Mr. Gwangil. That’s what the lord calls me too!”
“Ah, yes… ….”
“I heard about your performance! I heard you ripped off Wilhelm Gonom’s head? I wanted to be an unusual friend from the beginning, but it’s really great? Do you have any plans to come to our Black Dragon? It seems that the lord was thinking a little bit…….”
“Ahahahahaha. I have something else to do right now. I appreciate your words, but I will decline.”
“Yes. Okay. Let me know whenever you change your mind. Even if it’s not the Lord, if you’re like me, you can put it right in a good place…….”
Jo Gwang-il’s gaze slowly turned to the side. After belatedly discovering Kang Ha-neul, who was hesitating behind Ahn Su-ho, he asked wide-eyed.
“That wife…… ?”
“Uh, that…… “
“Are you a girlfriend?”
“Yes. You’re right.”
The most surprised by that answer was Kang Ha-neul. Although she became a lover with Ahn Soo-ho, she thought that she would not be able to reveal to others that she was her girlfriend as long as she was on both legs with Ji Ye-won.
“Looking at it, it looks like there’s quite a difference in age, but they’re also very capable. …… Are you sure you’re not underage?”
“You are an adult. I am a freshman at the academy where I work.”
“Aha. I guess you work at the academy too? Actually, my daughter is an academy guard. You know there’s a green house in Sokcho, right? There is a special among the guards…… Measures…… And, say…….”
Jo Gwang-il’s voice, which had been talking excitedly, gradually slowed down. He struggled with a frown as if something was about to come to mind.
“Ahn Soo-ho… …. Ahn Soo-ho……. Where have you heard a lot? Ahn Soo-ho……. Uh, so…….”
I thought I would vaguely remember it, but I couldn’t. Jo Gwang-il made a sound of pain in his frustrated heart.
His age is fifty-nine this year. He was a miserable middle-aged man who prided himself on being young, but suffered from forgetfulness in the midst of it.
“Mmm. I can’t even think of it. What was important must have come to mind right away! Anyway, good job this time! Next time we get a chance, let’s go into a dungeon together. A strong Hunter like you is always welcome!”

Laughing heartily, he moved away to the other side of the underground parking lot. Ahn Su-ho, with a bewildered face, stared blankly at him before heading to his car.
“…… Who is that?”
Kang Ha-neul, sitting in the passenger seat, asked Ahn Su-ho.
“The Huntershire of the Black Dragon who fought together this time. Which… ….”
The name Jo Gwang-il. In addition, the setting that her daughter works in the special countermeasures department. It’s a long way, but it’s probably right. Thinking so, Ahn Su-ho added.
“…… I think he’s probably my co-worker’s father.”
“Really? What an amazing coincidence.”
“So. Jo Kwang-il is a character who appeared in the original work. The guards didn’t even appear in the original story. A strange coincidence.”
“Is that co-worker male?”
– Flinched.
Ahn Suho’s cheeks trembled at those words. It was an instinctive trembling even though there was no corner to hold something.
“…… Are you a woman?”
“Yes. Is it a girl. Cho Yu-ri, a senior on the same team as me…….”
“Do you remember what I said yesterday?”
Ahn Su-ho nodded his head wordlessly. Please don’t increase women anymore. Of course I remembered.
“Don’t worry. I have nothing to do with that senior.”
“…… Really?”
“That’s right…… “
In reality, Ahn Su-ho and Cho Yu-ri were not related at all. Even though he was a co-worker, Cho Yu-ri was an extremely androphobic patient. At least it got a little better after staying on the same team as Ahn Soo-ho, but that didn’t mean that the two of them had become close enough to cause something between a man and a woman.
Besides, Ahn Su-ho had no intention of increasing the number of women. In the first place, his ultimate goal was to return to the original world, not to set up a harem with characters from novels. In the process, he fell in love with Ji Ye-won and Kang Ha-neul…….
‘Anyway, three legs are really trash. I’m not that trashy.’
There was at least room for rehabilitation in that he was aware that he was trash at the point of crossing his legs. Of course, Ahn Su-ho had no intention of rehabilitating. Because Ji Ye-won and Kang Ha-neul, after having embraced them once, were going to carry them to the end like greedy people.
“Come to think of it, how is Ryu Tae-hyun these days? Like the original story, do you go around with girls all over the place?”
“Don’t talk. There are only three kids who seem to have a crush on her already, Midgyeol, Naeunsol, and Seongara? I think I went on a date with Professor Do So-young last weekend. She is the perfect alpha male.”
“It is exactly the same as the original story.”
The point at which midterm exams are approaching next week. In the original work, Midwinter and Naeun-sol already had feelings for Ryu Tae-hyeon around this time. Kang Ha-neul’s character Seong Ah-ra became aware of her love for Ryu Tae-hyeon during the final exam season, and Professor Do So-young during summer vacation.
“Come to think of it, we decided to go to an amusement park together after the midterm exam this time. This is an episode from the original, right?”
“Right. In that amusement park, there is a trafficking in the artifact called ‘Early Silver’. The Chinese broker was trying to sell it to the Hunter of the Winter Alliance, and the officer of the dawn…… Who among them Was it Jin Tanaka? Anyway, when he attacks the Broker and tries to steal the artifact, a battle breaks out. Ryu Tae-hyun was also caught up in it.”
“You remember it in great detail.”
“Because I read the original until I got tired of it. Besides, that artifact called ‘Early Silver’ is what I’m aiming for too.”
“Yes?”
Kang Ha-neul seemed surprised by Ahn Su-ho’s words and asked back. Ahn Soo-ho answered calmly.
“‘Early Silver’ is one of the most powerful artifacts in the original work. If it falls into the hands of the Dawning, it will be a headache in many ways. If possible, I’ll intercept it in the middle, and even if it’s not, it’d be better to let the Winter Alliance hunter take it.”
In fact, Jin Tanaka, who robbed the silver of the beginning, will later appear as a mid-boss villain blocking Ryu Tae-hyeon’s path. Ahn Su-ho clearly remembered the strength of silver in the beginning described at that time.
“…… Brother. It’s like the protagonist of an ice novel. I only remember big events, so I never thought of trying something like that.”
“Heaven says you are normal. Because I’ve been crazy about web novels.”
Ahn Suho, who spat out as if to help himself, laughed viciously. I was able to remember and use these details thanks to living crazy with web novels, but in the first place, I was possessed by this world because I was crazy about the era of superhumans to the point where I was attached to the author and Kibae…….
“…… Mmm. Anyway. So, you mean your brother is going to the amusement park that day too?”
“Uh. I don’t even go to work because it’s Saturday. In preparation for that time, I skipped the guard duty on another day in advance… ….”
“Then I will go with you!”
“Huh? You?”
Why? As if blocking Ahn Su-ho, who was about to ask back, Kang Ha-neul answered right away.
“Actually, Taehyun asked me if I would like to go with him. I was worried because I knew that an incident would happen that day, but if my brother goes to an amusement park that day, I can just go with him. Right?”
“Isn’t it? It’s not Do you think I’m going to play?”
“I only need to get out early and play with me when I steal artifacts. I may be able to help you if you’re bored. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?”
“That…… Go?”
Ahn Suho tilted his head at the cryptic words that seemed to be correct or not. It wasn’t such a silly sound. Anyway, until the broker appears, you can’t steal it even if you want to, and it’s true that if Kang Ha-neul is with you, it’s a lot of help.
“Yes. Then. Let’s go together that day.”
“Okay!”
Kang Ha-neul clenched his fists in excitement at Ahn Su-ho’s acceptance. As if the date request was successful.
Actually, the date was right. It’s just that Ahn Su-ho didn’t notice it because his head was full of things about ‘the beginning of silver’.
The car carrying the two people drove quickly down the dark night road. The smile did not leave Kang Ha-neul’s face until he arrived home.
However.
The moment the car carrying the two finally arrived in front of Ahn Su-ho’s house.
“Ahn Soo-ho?”
“Ji Ye-won?”
What a joke of fate. The two of them ran into Ji Ye-won, who had just returned from Yongin that day, in front of the house.
“Hello. Yewon’s older sister.”
Kang Ha-neul got off the passenger seat and greeted Ji Ye-won with a smile. Ji Ye-won, who was about to receive the greeting, suddenly hardened her expression.
“Yewon?”
“Yes. Ye Ji-won is a pseudonym? I heard from you.”
At those words, Ji Ye-Won’s gaze turned directly to Ahn Su-Ho. Ahn Su-ho was speechless with a bewildered expression at this sudden situation.
‘I have a rough idea of what happened, but… ….’
However, Ji Ye-won guessed the situation just by the fact that Ahn Su-ho told Kang Ha-neul her real name. However, there was no guarantee that her guess was 100% correct.
That’s why.
“Two people. Did you have a dinner?”
Ji Ye-won tried to reveal the truth directly from Ahn Su-ho’s mouth and Kang Ha-neul’s mouth.
“If you haven’t eaten yet, would you like to eat at my house?”
Ji Ye-won’s eyes shone sharply.
