103 – Lee Hyun-soo-8
I didn’t intend to wake her up until morning, but as dawn approached, my sister got up on her own, got up, and tapped her on the knee.
-You should get some sleep too!
“I heard you stretched out for 12 hours earlier. It’s okay if you don’t sleep now.”
-Still, I have to match the day and night. If you don’t sleep at all, do you feel sleepy during the day?
“It’s okay. You don’t have to sleep?”
My sister dragged me and put me on her lap.
– Shall I sing you a lullaby?
“it’s okay.”
Even if I tried to resist any longer, they wouldn’t listen to me, so I closed my eyes for now.
I slowly fell asleep feeling a gentle hand caressing my hair.

I woke up to the warm sunlight tickling my eyes.
For some reason, my sister kept stroking my hair.
‘Couldn’t he have been like this the whole time he slept?’
If that’s true, it’s kind of creepy.
“Sister, did I wake up?”
-yes? so?
Even though I woke up, my sister didn’t care and continued to stroke my hair.
I couldn’t even wash yesterday, so there must be a lot of oil.
It was only then that my sister stopped petting me when I lifted my waist and stood up.
‘Wow… It still hurts.’
I couldn’t feel extreme pain like yesterday, but my stomach still throbbed and hurt.
Unknowingly, when I put my hand on my stomach, my sister looked at me with a worried expression.
– Are you still sick?
“No, it’s fine.”
It’s worth enduring this much.
My stomach hurt a little every time I moved, but I’m not a weak person who can’t stand this pain.
“Then should I move slowly? No wonder I passed out and lost all day yesterday. I’ll work diligently to catch all the zombies and search the city.”
-yes! Go!
I moved to the place where I ate yesterday and solved a simple breakfast.
It still tasted filthy, but what can I do? First of all, you have to eat to live.
After we finished eating, we moved to the truck we saw yesterday. If it worked fine, I tried to use it today, but no matter how much I touched it, there was no sound.
-Let’s move together today.
“It’s better to move away…”
I couldn’t speak any more.
Because my sister’s eyes looking at me had changed very sadly.
“Okay, let’s move together.”
While catching the zombies, I kept looking for a way to lure them out with a loud voice.
Sometimes, he lures zombies by completely knocking down a collapsing building, and sometimes he lures zombies by shouting at a loudspeaker and catches them.
-I don’t think we should lure zombies with sound anymore, because monsters in the city center can hear and react. Now let’s hit each one with our fists.
The remaining area itself was not wide, but since it was the center, there were far more zombies in the center than we had captured so far.
“It’s going to take a while… Is there any good way to save time?”
-Well? While thinking about that, I think it would be better to catch at least one more zombie.
“No, there must be a way…”
As I looked around, I saw a large iron bar presumably embedded in the building.
“Sister, can you wield that?”
– Are you talking about that rebar? Of course you can wield it. But why?
“Wouldn’t it be faster if I hooked it up and swept it all at once than catching it with my fist?”
My sister looked at me with cute eyes.
-My younger brother has a lot of imagination, right? But have you ever seen your sister fight and only catch one zombie with one punch?
When I thought about it, there was no such thing.
First of all, my sister was a martial artist who had learned martial arts, and when she used mana to swing her fist, about 10 zombies burst out laughing.
– Putting mana in your fist and swinging it is much faster than swinging a heavy rebar!
“That’s right…”
So, do you really have to beat and catch all those zombies one by one?
Anyway, the zombies I catch are very few, and my sister will catch most zombies, but it was hopeless to the point where my eyes became dark.
-Don’t worry too much. As far as I can see, I’ll be able to kill all the zombies by tomorrow, and I’ll be able to catch that monster when it turns into sand.
“If you say that, I have nothing to say…”
-Until now, we fought together, but there are too many zombies from now on, so don’t step out and hide somewhere else.
“okay.”
My sister’s words were not wrong. It took less than two days to deal with all the zombies piled up like a pile of mountains, and the next day, when the sunset came, it was so clean that it was hard to find zombies standing still.
-I didn’t touch the zombies around the monster. It would be annoying if I accidentally touched it and a monster attacked me.
“I think I hunted the zombies around me, but the dragon didn’t attack the monster either?”
-Yeah? Are you not even sleeping? High-ranking monsters who dominate the surroundings often fill most of the day with sleep.
Oh, is this not true?
I might have something to write about someday, so let’s stick it in our heads.
“You’re going to catch monsters tomorrow, right?”
– It should be.
The reality that I forgot about while catching zombies came to me again.
What do you do after catching a monster?
Should I freely search and investigate the city and return to the place where the Heavenly Demonic Church is located?

No, first of all, is this the world we used to live in?
‘Certainly that’s right. It’s clear that the Heavenly Demon and Lee Soo-hyun are joking around.’
yes, that would be correct
I thought I was just having fun. Well, when I thought that the Heavenly Demon provided me with an opportunity to have a thrilling adventure with my sister, my heavy heart quickly became lighter.
“Let’s go eat first.”
After dinner, lay down on the bed you found the other day and spend the night, and tomorrow morning will come.
If you catch a monster tomorrow and look around, something will come out, and you can proceed with the next thing based on that.
Surely the content didn’t prepare an adventure with only zombies and monsters.
‘And he’ll keep hanging out with his sister.’
After moving together for a few days, the relationship between her and I became quite close.
Of course, it’s not to the point of being real siblings, but should I say that it’s enough to be a fake brother and sister like Lee Soo-hyun, Baek Ha-yeon, and Baek Yeon-ha?
In fact, compared to when we first met, our attitude towards each other has changed a lot.
Right now, even for me, the attitude towards my sister has become very harmful. At first, I was refuting every single thing she said, but now I subconsciously think of her as my real sister.
How does my sister treat me? It hasn’t changed as much as me, but she’s acting like she’s treating someone she’s much closer to. If I had seen me as a child who had to take care of before, now I thought that I was seeing me as a real younger brother.
It would be great if it ended here, but seeing as the situation was, I could clearly feel that my sister had a different attitude towards me.
‘You said you would tell me about the joys of the world, but I don’t think you have a normal mind either.’
You may not have had as much interaction with other people, if not as much as I did.
In such a situation, let’s be left alone with me. I could directly feel the dependence on me. To be precise, should I say that he doesn’t want to be apart from me rather than dependence? If I tried to fall even for a moment, he would look at me with a tearful expression.
I think I’ll get better soon after this situation, but since it’s absolutely not a normal situation, should I try to fix it?
-Why are you looking at me like that?
“Nuna, do you hate falling out with me that much?”
-yes? What are you talking about. Of course I don’t like it. There’s only the two of us here, and if you and I fall apart, you know what’s going to happen to you and leave without care.
“Since all the zombies are gone now, shouldn’t it be enough not to approach the monsters?”
-… Do you want to fall with me?
My older sister looked at me with sad, but quite wary eyes.
“It’s not that I want to fall, but I’m worried about my sister.”
-Are you worried about me? What the hell are you worried about?
“Because you don’t seem to want to fall away from me. Just the last time, I was about to fall apart, so you held me back and told me not to go.”
– When did I do that! I told you to stay by my sister’s side because you could be in danger!
“Then can I leave now? It’s not dangerous now.”
My sister closed her mouth and glared at me.
His body trembled from the subtle anger in his eyes, but it was clear that if he stepped back, he wouldn’t be able to fix it until the Heavenly Demon finished his prank.
“Look, you’re still mad. Do you really hate falling out with me?”
-Uh, no, it’s just the two of us here. I’m afraid that you’ll go somewhere and never come back to me. My heart would break if I imagined coming in injured somewhere. It’s just the two of us. Why do you want to go out?
“It’s because I’m worried about my sister. Apparently, at first, my sister assured me that she would tell me about the world, and it seemed like she was relying on me too much.”
-Is it so strange that we rely on each other when there are only two of us? If you don’t like that, should I just worry and moan by myself and go out of my way?
Madness shone in her sister’s eyes.
I moved my body at the sight of the appearance that looked like it would explode if I didn’t take action right away.
I don’t know how to solve this situation, but Lee Soo-hyun’s memory knew the answer.
“Sorry, I’m not going anywhere. Calm down.”
As soon as I hugged my sister tightly, I started to hear the sound of crying.
