#130. Is it okay if I wear it?
“…Do you still love me?”
I turned my head to the distant sea, rather than answering Jena’s question right away.
“I think so.”
“If you love, you love. What is that?”
“That’s right. I know it’s a really bad answer…”
A deep sigh comes out of his mouth.
“Can’t we just do something like that?”
“…Choi Inwook.”
“Really… the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes.”
I told Jena about the worries I had inside me in a calm voice.
“In my previous life, I thought I was unhappy because I couldn’t have children even if I had love.”
“Of course I did things that I felt sorry for, and I think I left painful memories for Sihwa and Harin.”
“But the situation comes when I can have children…”
“It is very difficult…”
Jena, who was just looking at me, wrapped her arms around my waist as it was.
“I’m fine.”
“What is okay?”
“It’s okay not to be so obsessed with children.”
She buried her head in her chest even more deeply, whether she didn’t want to show her face.
“…It was like that from the beginning. When did I ever ask you to have children?”
“Yena…”
“When was the last time I said that I asked for a divorce because you couldn’t have children…”
Jena, who had been driving me down with her respectful words, as if she was happy with her feelings, quickly turned her head.
“Let’s go.”
With her back turned, Jena walks towards her.
Contemplating how she could give her less embarrassment, I shouted in her small voice against her back.
“It’s the other way around…!”
There were faint traces of tears on her slightly red face.

We didn’t say anything to each other until we got to the restaurant.
But it was vague to even say she fought because Jena’s small hand was still holding my hand.
“Come here. How many minutes?”
“Two people.”
“Come in this way.”
After all, the shop has a unique feel of a local restaurant.
Me and Jena decided to eat Agu-jjim, which has a reputation for being the most popular dish in the store.
“Choi Inwook.”
After feeling like they won’t talk to me all day, she held out her glass of water to me.
“If your child is truly the one who will save the world, aren’t you afraid of having a child?”
“Still, I’m the one who thinks it’s not right to have a baby first.”
“Even if the future of the child to be born is harsh?”
Saving the world won’t be as easy as turning the palm of your hand.
I haven’t heard of what will happen in the future and what will cause the world to be destroyed, but surely the monster the child has to face is a guy I haven’t even seen.
“…If it prevents destruction.”
It was that moment.
I trembled at the creepy feeling as if an electric current was running through my body.
“Yena… I just…”
“Choi Inwook.”
Without saying who came first, we got up from our seats and flew in the direction where the magic was sensed.
The dark night sky.
It looked like nothing had happened, but that wasn’t the case.
It doesn’t matter if it was just me, but the fact that Jena also felt it meant that he actually “Exists” Here.
I took out my cell phone without saying a word, and I checked my current location on the map and estimated the direction.
He’s north from this point. It was clear that it was within 10 km.

[Hello.]
[Yes. I just arrived in Jinhae.]
[Uh.]
[I think it would be better to send someone here in advance.]
Choi In-wook, who went down to Jinhae with Hayena, delivered a tragedy that cannot be overlooked.
[Does that mean he’s actually already there?]
[Even though it’s a day’s data, I think it’s meaningful information that Jena and I felt at the same time.]
Choi In-wook was a strict person when it came to work.
It’s only because I’m out of touch with women.
[Did you talk to the site headquarters there?]
[You know. A-classes are rare in such a small city.]
In other words, it is said that there are only hunters who are less than a level who cannot communicate even if they have to talk for a hundred days.
After I found out about this, I had to do something, but my position in the association was far below that of my previous life.
[How many people do you think you will need?]
[Because it is level 6, it will be needed more than the 5 Croptoss.]
If what he said is true, it is a self-evident fact that you have to cooperate with him.
[Choi Inwook. You know that if I forcefully summon people in my current state, I’ll be really in trouble, right?]
Even though the title of Busan’s hero has gotten quite strong now, I’m just starting out as a hunter.
Even if I lacked the ability to lead dozens of S-classes according to my will, it was not enough.
[I want you to send it as much as possible.]
[If I am unlucky, only one person can go down.]
[Then the two of us will have to do it somehow.]
It sounds like you’re talking optimistically, but I put my forehead on it, knowing that there’s a sincere message behind it, please don’t do it.
[First, I’ll talk to the manager. I will go down there soon.]
[Thank you. It’s poetry.]
[If you’re grateful, don’t stick with Hayena too much.]
[…Call me back tomorrow.]
Choi In-wook hangs up the phone after holding it for a while.
He was a good man. Very.
I go with another woman and do SOS on me.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nevertheless, contacting me was not that bad in itself.In the end, the person who could help the most and depended on Choi In-wook was me.
Level 6…
I’ve tried to deal with more than that in my past life, but it’s a fact that it’s never going to be easy.
But I could see this as an opportunity.
A chance to show you who to choose as a mother if you really want to have the strongest child.
And I thought that it wouldn’t be too bad if the number of people was small.
Because I can work with Choi In-wook on the battlefield for a longer period of time than
.
The bond that binds me and Choi In-wook so tightly bloomed right there.
That’s why I wanted to think that all of this was going in my favor.
* *
After finishing the call with Sihwa, I immediately called Harin.
Obviously, if I only talked to Sihwa, I would be nauseous, and maybe because I thought that Harin would be faster to save someone.
[Hello.]
[Uh! Inwook-ah!]
The bright voice brought a smile to my lips too.
[Do you want to be able to call now?]
[Yes. I’m done with today’s schedule. Is it getting dark now?]
[That’s right. And the guy in the rumor that he appeared in Jinhae is… I think he’s actually here.]
[What…?]
Harin asked her in a tone that was hard to believe.
[I and Jena detected it at the same time. It’s not a freak phenomenon or a mechanical error.]
[But can you do that? We’re still in our twenties. It happened in the year we graduated.]
Certainly, there were more suspicious parts in this case because we knew the future.
It was a monster that should not have appeared at this time.
[There is a possibility that it may not be the same guy, but based on the information the author has provided so far and what I have confirmed today, it is very likely that it is this guy.]
[Such…]
Harin is silent for a moment.
[A person… Is it necessary?]
[Yes. As much as possible. The higher the rank, the better the person.]
[I see. For now, those who can move under my authority will move.]
As expected, Harin, the successor of the GW company, had personnel who could move immediately without a separate permission or procedure.
[I told Sihwa to ask for cooperation from the association as well. But I think that’s probably not enough.]
[Inwook-ah.]
When I tried to continue my explanation hesitantly, Harin interrupted me.
[You are not the only one who returned. I did it too.]
It was only after hearing her words that I realized that I was speaking to her as if I was explaining her unknown animal.
[…Is it a bit long?]
[Yes. A little.]
It was obviously a serious story, but Harin burst out laughing as if it were funny.
[Perhaps I should still stay in Seoul.]
[Ah. Yes. That’s okay I have no intention of calling you to this dangerous place.]
[I’m still an S-class, right?]
Harin asked me if her self-esteem was hurt by my words.
[I don’t want you to get hurt though.]
[…They’re doing it to hang out with other girls. You.]
Harin answers with a crawling voice.
[Even when I married you, you know that I never went to the scene with you.]
When she was in love and married, Harin was like a princess to me.
She
She was and she was actually a person who grew up in a background like a princess.
I didn’t want her to take her to her backcountry with my own hands.
[…I’ll believe that.]
I closed my eyes at Harin’s words that showed her vagueness.
[Yes.]
[Then I’ll call you back tomorrow. Inwook-ah. If you need anything, feel free to contact me.]
[Thank you. Harina.]
[Don’t sleep well today.]
I knew why I shouldn’t sleep, so I smiled bitterly.
[Still, you sleep well.]
[Yes. Okay.]
When she hung up the phone, Jena, who was sitting on her bed, slowly got up.
She holds out her small box.
“Isn’t it okay if I wear it?”
An earthquake started happening in my pupil.
