26 – Mimiky Monster (4)
It was quite nerve-wracking to climb into a limousine with the body of a camper without washing.
“Do you care that much?”
“….”
I don’t know how much the limousine does because I’m not very interested.
But won’t it at least make a billion sounds?
It was very intimidating to get into such a car in this condition.
So I tried to sit as far forward as possible so as not to lean my back on the seat, but Yuna-san stared at me.
“Why are you sitting like that?”
“Uh, um….”
“It doesn’t matter because I clean it regularly anyway.”
Maybe he’s taking care of me.
Even so, I couldn’t sit comfortably.
“If it’s that inconvenient, shall we get off and walk?”
“Ah….”
ㅡ If this woman was a host, she would have lived more comfortably.
Aren’t you too harsh?
Still, I thought I heard some hateful feelings, but I’m sorry….
ㅡ It’s an American joke!
Is Neg America gag like that?
I finally put my back on the seat of the limousine.
As expected….
It felt much softer and more comfortable than the bed in my room.
ㅡ Money is such a good thing. If I had money, I didn’t have to worry about how to use the hack, and I didn’t have to discuss how to get a suit.
I’m sorry I don’t have money.
“Let me drop you off here.”
“Okay.”
The place where Ms. Yuna stopped was unexpectedly an ordinary Japanese restaurant that ordinary people like me often visit.
While I was staring blankly at it, Yuna covered her mouth and gave a small smile.
“Do you think rich people only eat steak and caviar for lunch every day?”
“Ah, that… sorry.”
Unbeknownst to me, I had a preconceived notion that Yuna would do rich things because she was rich.
This must have been my fault.
Still, going into this state is a bit….
“Mr. Jinwoo. Give me a hand.”
“Yes?”
“Quickly.”
Wanting something of her, she put her hand on my mini mini she took out her perfume she had in her handbag and sprayed her on my wrist.
“You don’t care much anymore, do you?”
The perfume, which was not too irritating and had a slightly neutral feel, was enough to cover up the smell that was coming from my body.
“That, thank you for being considerate.”
“No, I was the one who brought you here recklessly.”
I rubbed the perfume Yuna-san had sprayed on her wrist, applied it to her neck and nape, and followed her steps as I headed into the store.
Ms. Yuna is a person you don’t know even if you know her.
She said she was the kind of person who like me and when she gets something she has to give it back.
So, since she said she had already received it, it’s not enough.
I thought he was coercive and self-centered, but he often reveals his absurdity somewhere.
Still, somewhere in her, she keeps being swayed by her, so it seems like she can’t come to her senses.
ㅡ Surprisingly, if you think of it as the price of your life, you still have to pay more.
What?
ㅡ She is the daughter of a wealthy chaebol family. There is also power. You saved a cute daughter from such a family, but do you think a house with a low deposit and monthly rent is enough in return?
Why are you talking about that here?
ㅡ Rather, things are getting tangled up because of your stuffy personality.
… Am i the problem?
ㅡ Think about it.
While walking slowly into the store with Ms. Yuna, who has a crippled leg, Grid explained why this twisted situation was entirely my problem.
She is the daughter of one of Korea’s leading chaebol families.
Then she fell ill with a disease for which there is no cure for her and lay in her hospital bed.
Is there anything you haven’t done to save her from her chaebol house?
Perhaps an astronomical amount of money was spent to find something, whether it be a new technology or a new drug.
However, she couldn’t find any answer, and she had no choice but to wait for the phenomenon of natural healing with less than 10%.
In order to keep her body from deteriorating under such circumstances, she has a human who has provided free service for a year.
She brought out the word that she would return it several times, but she was rejected each time.
At that time, a miracle that could never happen happened.
The girl who thought she was going to die opened her eyes.
She could have opened her eyes by herself, but she could have opened her eyes by everyone in the hospital.
So I looked for the cause and it seems that I am the cause.
She has a man who gave her free service for a year and even a full recovery.
But they are not compensated.
ㅡ How much would you care? A person who lives in a world that sees everything from a business perspective has been given a free service.
… Does that happen?
I just felt repulsive because it seemed like they were just trying to forcefully open my mouth and say it was a return or a reward….
The moment I get paid, my actions change.
For me, what I did at the hospital was an unofficial hero activity.
Even if it doesn’t help much, it was an action I hoped would help a little.
But if you get paid, it becomes something other than a hero activity.
That’s what bothers me, so I’m sure it’ll keep running around in my head.
That’s why I refused….
ㅡ This must be the difference between values and the surrounding environment.
The Grid, which knocked on the computer like an owl every night, had risen to the level where it came to its own conclusions about the human ecosystem.
“Whoa… thank you. It feels like I am constantly receiving something.”
“No. No.”
I made Ms. Yuna sit in her seat and sat across from her.
We ordered the sushi we wanted to eat from a menu board nearby and wiped our hands with a wet towel.
A wet towel.
I usually don’t do things like a man who bites his face with this, but now I want to wipe my face with this….
As she stared at her wet towel in intense conflict, she realized something and asked the clerk for another towel.
“I was a bit insensitive, wasn’t it?”
She handed me a wet towel as she told me to do whatever was convenient for me.
“That, thank you. Miss Yuna.”
“No. And so hard….”
As I was wiping her face with the wet towel she handed me, I heard a mumbling sound.
“Yes?”
“… It’s nothing.”
ㅡ Huh?
I don’t know how to feel the distance with Yuna.
According to Grid, there is a price to pay for this relationship to run smoothly.
But then I don’t feel comfortable.
It was a very complicated situation.
“Ah, that… Have you decided where Jinwoo will intern?”
Mr. Yuna was the first to speak amidst the strange silence that amidst the ordered menus and eating together.
“Not yet. I am not sure where to go.”
Grid said that the hero must go to the hero office.
The people’s stick is said to be an envoy.
But belonging to a government agency is not that bad.
Even for interns, support for interns at national institutions tends to come out quite a bit.
My head is spinning when I think of the training room cost of over 6 million won a year.
However, if you belong to a government agency, even interns receive subsidies for training rooms or gyms.
ㅡ Khehehehe. Look, even if monsters and heroes appear, the world is money. And there is an ATM machine in front of you!
“If you haven’t decided yet, do you have a place in mind?”
“At first, I received some business cards….”
At the hero ability test, the people who came as supervisors and some people in charge handed out business cards.
Iron, who is famous for being a strong hero, has the same hardening ability, so he suggested that he would help a lot if he came.
I decided to take it and think about where to go, but I’m still thinking about that.
After preparing the true power of Grid when he used the nuclear power, my hero name, and hero suit, he planned to work as an intern.
“Aren’t you going to belong to a government agency?”
“I thought about that too.”
“I’ve been thinking about it… Are you thinking of the Hero Office?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes. State agencies have an abundance of manpower.”
All heroes belonging to national organizations are professionals.
There are many people who apply as interns.
However, they are always limited by orders and procedures.
What came to my mind was the traffic accident at Buwon Hospital.
Belonging to a government agency, move according to orders and stay in the waiting room until an incident occurs.
Even in the meantime, a kid like Woojin might get caught up in an incident that has nothing to do with the monster, a car accident.
I want to help people like that when I see them.
That’s why I’m thinking of going to a hero office where I can be a little free and do a lot of patrolling.
ㅡ Ha… I guess I’ll stick to peanuts instead of almonds for now.
Grid clicked his tongue, saying that he would be bored with his mouth from now on.
The offices that do a lot of patrols are mostly small offices.
Small offices cannot expect subsidies and spend more time patrolling than in the office to raise awareness.
Since I have to go to such a place and do an internship, I think I will have to go into austerity.
So it was a story about replacing the almonds you forgot while working on the computer late at night with peanuts.
It’s all over if you don’t eat anything in the first place.
ㅡ Just as humans can’t live on bread alone, I can’t live on just being parasitic in your body.
… Now I feel like I can’t beat Grid even if I fight.
After hearing why I was worried, Yuna looked at me with a blank expression.
Why are you making that face?
ㅡ It must be because you are talking nonsense bullsh*t.
Is that bullsh*t?
“Wow, that’s great….”
“Yes?”
“During the internship period, you usually want to be active in the most prominent place. That way, your reputation will rise.”
If there is no hero, a fever weapon must be used to hunt the monster.
Significant human and material damages occur.
However, the damage to the hero is minor.
That’s why the government subsidizes heroes.
In addition, top heroes tend to come in a lot of advertisements, so they can live a fairly relaxed life.
If you want to become that way, you must first raise awareness, but you are a human being who refuses to do that.
… Approaching it this way makes me feel like I might look a bit crazy.
ㅡ A madman.
This bastard?
“Awesome. Also….”
Ms. Yuna looked at me with eyes as if she were looking at something dazzling.
It was the gaze that reminded me of myself when I was a child, shouting out loud while watching FIRST somewhere.
Somehow feeling embarrassed, I ate in a hurry, so she got a little flustered and started following me with her chopsticks.
After the meal in such a strange atmosphere, Ms. Yuna left a message to see her later and left.
“Whoa….”
I can’t believe that one meal is so tiring.
As I was walking with those thoughts in mind, my smartphone rang.
It was the author.
“Hello?”
ㅡ Ah, senior. Where are you now?
“Huh? I came out for a while. It’s right in front of the house.”
ㅡ My parents gave me strawberries and melons as gifts from someone they knew, but they gave me too many.
“You want to give it to me?”
ㅡ Don’t like it?
“Oh, good!”
I was excited and said that I would be leaving soon and put my smartphone in my pocket.
And as I started running toward the house, Grid, who had been still, started to laugh while laughing.
Why is this guy doing this again?
As I was thinking about that, I saw the author standing blankly in front of the house.
“Ji Eun-ah.”
As I called out to the author in a slightly louder voice and waved her hand, she greeted me with a smile.
“Ah, senior… huh?”
The author’s expression gradually distorted as she waved her hand at me with a happy expression.
Her eyes widened and her pupils narrowed as she stared up at me with a somewhat lifeless gaze, and I got goosebumps all over her body.
For some reason, it felt like my spider sense was activated.
ㅡ hehehe! Too bad we don’t have popcorn!
What is it?
