90 – 090. Simultaneous Incident (5)
“Because I’m going to stop by our head office while I’m in Seoul. I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to go alone when you leave.”
In front of the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society. Midsummer said that while standing in front of a parked limousine as if to show off to others.
“Thank you for driving me all the way here. Then enter carefully.”
“That way too. See you later.”
See you next time. At those words, Ahn Soo-ho softly smiled bitterly. Just a few days ago, I couldn’t have imagined that we would be able to say hello to midsummer and see you next time.
Having climbed into the limousine, Summer looked at Ahn Su-ho through the heavily tinted windows. As soon as she boarded, Ahn Su-ho turned around without hesitation. After confirming that he had gone a long way, Han Yeo-reum spoke to her secretary, who was sitting next to her.
“Mr. Undecided.”
“Yes. Miss.”
“Please investigate the relationship between Ahn Su-ho and Seol Ah-hyun. What kind of relationship the two have. Have you ever met in the past? Anything, no matter how trivial, is fine.”
“Okay. Shall we ask the detective we commissioned last time again?”
“…… Is it so. Illyana’s skills have already been proven, so you can trust her.”
The limo started and Midsummer rested her chin on her armrest with her elbow resting on it. In her head, the number of various cases of the relationship between the two went back and forth.
“I thought he was just a master buried in the field… ….”
Ahyeon Seol is the guild master of the Black Dragon, the third largest guild in Korea, and one of the top five superhumans in the country.
If she and Ahn Soo-ho had any kind of relationship, she needed to revise her importance to him.
“…… It’s fun.”
Midsummer smiled as if she was amused by the appearance of a character who intrigued her for the first time in a while.
In fact, she was bored because life was so obvious these days. It was only natural for her to win the mandatory defense match before ranking, and it was natural for her to win first place in the exam as well. Even her internship at her Asteroid Guild wasn’t much of a stimulus for her.
In the meantime, the double dungeon incident broke out. In the meantime, it was an overrank dungeon that exploded. In addition to that, the presence of a ‘given person’ named Ahn Su-ho, who appeared out of the blue, made her smile happily.
“Mr. Undecided.”
“Yes. Miss.”
“I have something I want.”
“If you say anything, I will colonel you in front of the lady.”
“Even if it is a person?”
“If the lady says so.”
“Okay then.”
Han Yeo-reum, who clasped her chin and untied her hand, took her smart phone. On her screen, the phone number of the person she had called most recently, Ahn Su-ho, appeared.
“Ahn Soo-ho. I want to make that man mine.”
Midsummer. Although she was extremely averse to wasting her own time and resources on her own useless things.
On the one hand, it was a truly extreme woman who, at all costs, had intrigued her.
***
Meanwhile, at that time.
In a different meaning from Midsummer, a woman whose head was filled with Ahn Soo-ho was lying face down on her table in her office, struggling.
“… ….”
Ekaterina Alexandrovna Ivanova, a female secretary with impressively neatly trimmed bangs and slightly wavy bobbed hair, looks at her boss, Seol Ah-hyun, who behaves like an adolescent girl who confessed to her crush on a boy. Let out a worried sigh.
‘Your Lord is not like this…….’
What kind of person is Seol Ah-hyun, her boss?
She was a perfect superhuman. Force. Intellect. Managerial ability. Political power. Popularity. Reputation. Seol Ah-hyun was a superman, a philosopher, and a sage without a single flaw in all of those fields. Falling in love with her, Ekaterina became Seol Ah-hyun’s secretary.
But the sight of the boss fidgeting like a puppy that had eaten something wrong was unfamiliar to her secretary, Ekaterina.
‘Ahhhhh… ….’
Meanwhile, Seol Ah-hyun was completely unaware of Yekaterina’s feelings, and her mind was filled with thoughts about Ahn Su-ho.
‘How, how did I do such a shameless thing with that man… ….’
Seol Ah-hyun was busy. Right now, even the agenda from this meeting has not yet been sorted out, and the attack plan that has been developed so far needs extensive review and supplementation. Even her job wasn’t all about conquering the knight’s tomb. Due to the unexpectedly long meeting, there was a pile of documents waiting for approval on the table in her office.
‘Well, but if I do something like that with that man in the future, that means that I and that man will become lovers…… ?’
However, Seol Ah-hyun’s mind was only filled with Ahn Soo-ho. Of course, there was no jaw to get the job in hand.
‘Why? I don’t know that person at all Could this attack serve as an opportunity to develop a relationship? Then, if I go on like this, I will be like the future I saw…… !’
Muttering incomprehensible words, he groaned in agony before suddenly lowering his head as if embarrassed. On the other hand, Seol Ah-hyun nervously tousles her hair and then bangs on the Ammon table.
“Me, Hoeju?”
Ekaterina was going crazy because she was worried about her. It was the first time Seol Ah-hyun showed such emotional agitation since she started serving Seol Ah-hyun.
“Why did you say that a while ago? If anything happened at the meeting…….”
“…… No. Nothing happened.”
As I said, nothing happened at the meeting. What happened before the meeting was the problem.
‘Yes. It’s nothing.’
Seol Ah-hyun tried to calm herself down. Even if she and Ahn Su-ho did, to borrow her words, ‘such and such shameless things’, the observed future was by no means absolute. You could change anything you want to change.
‘But, seeing such a future doesn’t mean that I and that man have such a connection, doesn’t it? How did I end up doing that with him? In the first place, me and that man……. Is it okay to be lovers?’
What she saw was a fragmentary scene. Wouldn’t it be hasty to conclude her relationship with Ahn Soo-ho in the future based on that scene alone?
She thought so, then how on earth did she end up reaching such a future?
It was natural. Seol Ah-hyun was perfect as a superhuman, but she was far from perfect as a woman. She was, to put it bluntly, nothing more than a total virgin when it came to her love affairs. Before she regressed, she was not in the mood for dating, and after she regressed, she was only focused on protecting her comrades and raising her guild. In fact, she had never seen one of her love affairs in her life so far.
It was impossible for Seol Ah-hyeon to infer her love story with Ahn Su-ho from only one fragmentary scene.
‘Wait, wouldn’t Kacha know something?’
The one who approached her like her savior was her secretary Ekaterina, her nickname Kacha, who was looking down at her anxiously.
‘Yes. Since Kacha has more dating experience than me, she might be able to give her some advice…… ?’
She thought so, but the problem was the way she asked. When she revealed to her secretary that she had seen a scene where she did something shameless in the future, she was Seol Ah-hyun. She was a surprisingly shy woman.
“Hey, Kacha. Can I ask you something?”
So. After careful consideration, Seol Ah-hyun, who came up with the least embarrassing way to ask questions, said to Ekaterina.
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“That’s not a big deal. It’s about a relationship between a man and a woman…….”
“As expected.”
“Eh?”
Seol Ah-hyun tilted her head at the sight of her shaking her head as if she knew everything, even though she hadn’t even asked the question.
“For some reason, when I said that she was blushing like a girl in love, it seems that some of the conference attendees have a crush on her. Who is it? Are you Sung Yujin? Or Shin Jae-ho? Ha Ui-chan? Hopefully it’s not Oh Ji-hoon. The age difference between Lord Hou and him is almost thirty-“
“No! No! It’s not like that! Is there anything he can’t say to his boss right now!?”
“You don’t have to be shy. It is a very natural thing.”
“Well, isn’t that what it is?! Just asking out of curiosity, curiosity!”
“Yes. Be curious So let’s talk. Hey, Ekaterina. I will answer your questions wholeheartedly to satisfy your curiosity.”
Seol Ah-hyun bit her lips at the sight of her making fun of herself. Originally, Ekaterina took a respectful attitude towards Seol Ah-hyun, but she seemed to have a little playfulness in her girlish appearance that she showed a little while ago. In fact, this side was closer to Ekaterina’s true intentions.
If it were Seol Ah-hyun, she would never have looked down on Yekaterina’s rude attitude, but she, whose mind was filled with Ahn Su-ho, did not point out anything.
“That, really? I’m really asking out of curiosity.”
As Ekaterina subconsciously realized, the present Seol Ah-hyun is not a flawless superhuman Seol Ah-hyun, but a girl confused by unfamiliar emotions.
“What if a man and a woman date? When the relationship progresses and you trust each other, you buy each other and share love, right? I don’t know if it’s between students, but if it’s an adult romance, it’s extremely natural, right?”
“Yes. It’s natural. However?”
“But then, at that time. When making love. A woman calling a man just, sir?”
“…… Yes?”
“Or is the man tying the woman up and harassing her with a cane? Anyway. Well, that’s not normal…… I don’t, but it’s not that strange………… I guess?”
“… ….”
After completing the question, Seol Ah-hyun’s face turned red like a ripe carrot. It was a really embarrassing question for her, but it was a question she wanted to solve first.
The shameless things that Suho Ahn and himself will share in the future. Is it really the kind of thing that can be put in the normal category?
The reason Seol Ah-hyun was curious about that fact more than anything else was because she was an S-class superhuman with her mighty powers.
She is one of the top five S-rank superhumans in Korea. According to common sense, there was no way she would be forced to do something like that.
Therefore, the ‘shameless act’ must have been an act done under agreement.
She said that she agreed to such a thing, that is, she didn’t realize it at the moment, but she said that maybe she had such a taste in herself.
Curious, concerned, afraid, and worried about that fact, Seol Ah-hyun hid her blushing face while waiting for Ekaterina’s answer.
“……………… Under.”
And then Ekaterina looked at her own boss in her own words, then let out a bewildered exclamation.
“………… The Lord said…… I didn’t know you’d like it.”
At that moment, Seol Ah-hyun’s expression hardened like an ice field. With just that one word, it was enough for her to know that what she said was an act that was not normal and belonged to an abnormal s*xual desire.
‘Oops.’
Belatedly, she regretted it. She wouldn’t have to ask such an embarrassing question if she had activated her ability and heard the answer before she asked it. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t even think of it.
However, I regretted it belatedly, the water had already been spilled. You can’t pick up spilled water, so all that’s left is to clean up as much as possible.
“Ahahahaha. Isn’t that a bit strange too? But. I thought so too-“
“It’s not particularly strange…… I can’t say that. s*xual orientation is an area of private life. Unless it’s a crime, it deserves respect. It’s just that I’m a little embarrassed that Hoeju-nim’s s*xual orientation, which I’m hearing for the first time in three years, is that way.”
“No. Doesn’t that mean I’m like that? You said it earlier. It’s all about curiosity, curiosity.”
“Hoe Lord.”
Ekaterina quietly held Seol Ah-hyun’s hands. Light white blond hair fell like a curtain over her face as she bowed her head as if in prayer, like a saint listening to her confession.
It’s just like the veil a nun puts on her head.
Suddenly, the moment Seol Ah-hyun thought so, Ekaterina spoke with a truly benevolent smile.
“You don’t have to be shy. Did you tell me Taste is something that deserves respect.”
“…… What?”
“Good. This Ekaterina, as secretary, is ready to help with all her heart and soul in anything and everything for the Lord. Did you say curiosity? Please wait a moment. Investigate image play and BDSM-related materials right now and make a report-”
“That, stop! It’s okay! That’s it! You don’t have to tell me about that, so just forget about it! Please forget everything I just said!”
“How can I erase the Lord’s words from my mind-“
“Forget it!!!! It’s okay!! Get out!! I’m going to work now so get out! I’ll call you when I need you!”
“Please call me anytime.”
Yekaterina left her office, leaving Seol Ah-hyeon, who was slightly tearful and energetic, behind her. A strangely happy smile hung on her lips.
Seol Ah-hyun. Although she was originally a perfect superhuman, far from being emotional.
Seol Ah-hyun with a look like that isn’t bad either.
Ekaterina thought so.
