59 – pseudo-5
After leaving Ha-yeon and Yeon-ha, they returned to the second floor.
When I went straight to the boss’s room, the boss and two women were sitting there as if they were waiting for me.
“You said you had work, so you came very quickly?”
“The work was finished sooner than expected. But, other people aren’t going, are they?”
“Oh, he said he wanted to rest a little longer.”
“Then we’ll move right away.”
When I headed to the elevator to go to the 5th floor, Hyeyeon came next to me.
“When can we be released?”
“Well? I think the situation should be sorted out to some extent. Lee Soo-ah said she would be coming soon, so after meeting her in person and sticking with her once, she’ll probably be able to leave.”
“Will it be over in a week?”
“How am I supposed to know that?”
“You should know… Wow…”
As we talked, we had already arrived at the restaurant.
It’s a restaurant I haven’t been to a few times since I started living with my kids, but I thought it was a pretty cool place when I looked at it again after a long time.

Neatly arranged delicious food, somehow luxurious tableware, and even the time was not lunchtime and there were not many people, so it looked cleaner.
“What is it, why is the facility so good?
“It’s not just a dark place like Hyeyeon thinks it’s a dark place.”
I didn’t even hear my words in the back of her ears, and I moved with a plate as I saw Hyeyeon laden with food.
“Still, it’s comfortable because it’s four people. You don’t have to sit separately.”
“You were very sharp until now, so why did the tension go up like this?”
“After fighting once, I felt completely relieved.”
He’s such a simple person.
Well, I’m still not in a good mood, so if I stayed sharp, I would have gotten tired too, so I think this side is better.
“What’s your name?”
“N… Yes? Me?”
“Yes, you.”
“My name is Hyeji Choi…”
“He’s my little brother!”
Unlike her older sister, she was a very timid person. It would be perfect if we added the tension between the two and divided it in half, but it was really disappointing that we couldn’t do that.
“Sisters… don’t look alike.”
“I hear that a lot. I’m so lively.”
“Is this your first time seeing you today?”
“It’s not about betting on each other.”
While we were talking, the boss was only concentrating on eating.
Seeing that Hyeji is also playing with a spoon and chopsticks at a fairly fast pace, wouldn’t it be that she didn’t eat well when she was kidnapped? Hyeyeon was also eating quickly while talking to me.
“Did you not eat well? Everyone eats in a hurry.”
“I didn’t give it at all, but it was pretty lacking on me,”
“Ahh,”
“Hyeji, let’s go eat one more time.”
In the blink of an eye, the siblings who had emptied a plate immediately refilled it.
Once, twice, three times on a plate that gradually increases, do women normally eat this much? Reasonable doubt began to arise.
After I became an adult, the number of women I ate with wasn’t that many, but right away Yeon-ha and Ha-yeon tended to eat quite a lot, and Wol-ha never ate too little.
Statistically, more than half of them are gluttons, and I think it is worth raising a reasonable suspicion, no matter how small the sample is.
“Oh, I ate well. It’s been a while since I ate full.”
“By the way, what were you doing before you were kidnapped?”
“Blacksmith, I’ve been mainly making things used by Awakeners.”
“Your brother too?”
Hyeyeon nodded without saying a word.
Certainly, seeing that both of them had strong muscles, it didn’t seem like a lie.
“I bet you’ve heard of Suhyeon, too? They were quite famous on this floor.”
“You made a name for yourself as a beauty blacksmith!”
“She must be a witch, not a beauty.”
Have you ever heard of It seems like I’ve never heard of it before…
You can tell by looking at the number of questions in one sentence, but I couldn’t remember it at all.
“It’s strange that such famous people were kidnapped and there were no rumors about it.”
“They don’t do business that often, so they only take custom orders, but if they don’t want to do it, it’s their daily life to contact them and go to sleep. So even if they suddenly disappear, no one will know.”
“You seem to have excellent skills?”
“Of course! We also made the weapon used by the person who was the captain of the guard before Baek Ha-yeon came.”
“Oh, you’re great?”
Making a weapon for an A-class Awakener seems certain.
“I’ll make one of your weapons later. Thank you for making it especially free.”
Weapons… I never thought that no matter how good a blacksmith she was, she would be able to craft something better than the dagger I’m using now.
I’m afraid to refuse…
“Can’t you use a shield instead of a weapon? If possible, something that can block the Awoken’s attacks.”
“Does that make sense? How does a non-Awakener block an Awoken attack?”
“It’s okay if you’re not very good at it. You just need to be able to block it properly once or twice.”
“There’s nothing I can’t make, but isn’t the weapon better? There won’t be that many fights against the Awoken, but a weapon that works better against monsters is much better.”
“I really like the weapon I’m using right now. I don’t think Hyeyeon-sshi will be able to make any weapon worse than this one.”
Hyeyeon’s face stiffened.
It was a low-quality provocation, but her face flushed red as if she was genuinely angry.
“How can you use such a great weapon to talk nonsense like that?”
“It’s a weapon that can lightly pierce the skin of a D-class monster.”
“We’ll make that much, too… What nonsense are you talking about, how can a non-Awakened person pierce a monster’s skin with only a sword?”
“You have this.”
I pulled out my pistol. I could have taken out a dagger, but since I don’t know what will happen to people, I didn’t want to nurture useless greed.
“It’s a weapon that doesn’t come out cost-effective because it breaks dozens in one shot.”
“My younger siblings are doing well. I can’t afford the cost of the bullets.”
“If you run out of bullets, you’ll be incapacitated right away.”
“If you’re fighting a battle so intense that you run out of bullets, the sword won’t actually help you at all.”
“But don’t Suhyeon carry a dagger with you?”
“The dagger is used to catch weaklings. Boss.”
It was quite nice to see Hyeyeon’s face blush.
“So you’re saying you don’t need the sword I made?”
“I don’t need anything like a sword. A high-powered cold weapon has meaning only for the Awakened, but it’s really useless to a non-Awakened like me. It’s a gift at best, but it’s a waste if it plays the same role as a regular dagger.”
I gave a strong accent to and said. The red color drained from Hyeyeon’s face, as if her soft tone had worked.
“I can’t help it if you say that.”
He had been so angry until just now, but now he has suddenly become docile.
Wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that Hyeyeon has a different personality in her head like me?
How can a person change so quickly?
“I’ll make it into a lasting shield, so don’t cry because you’re moved by it.”
“Because I’m not a kid, and I don’t cry over receiving gifts, right?”
“Anyway, it looks like you’ve finished eating, so let’s move. It hurts from just sitting still.”
It hurts from sitting for so long, repeating the routine of eating for 5 minutes and serving food for 1 minute 5 times…
“Is there anyone else worth fighting for besides you?”
He has plenty of time and is someone worthy of fighting with Hyeyeon…
“There’s someone who is in charge of the underworld queen’s bodyguard, and she’s probably training the kids right now? If you go and play against her, I think it’ll be a good match.”
“Really? Let’s go right away. Guide me!”
Maybe it will be a good match?
