62 – Interlude (3)
After three days, I was able to receive an item.
ㅡ Hurry up and open it.
Don’t look at me.
I took out the heavily sealed item that came to the office very slowly.
What came out of it… Is it a necklace?
“Ah, these feel like wireless earbuds that were popular back in the day.”
In the early days, Bluetooth earphones were used as earrings by hanging something that looked like a headband around the neck.
It was a similar type of thing.
After looking around for the stuff, I read the enclosed instructions.
Sensory synchronization device (name undecided)
Heroes active in the field have a narrow field of vision.
Because it is not that easy to make the right decision in a tensely charged field.
Due to the many cases related to him, the current system that supplements the narrow vision of heroes through cooperation with the hero office has been established.
But there is also a problem here.
The office’s support was limited.
(Omitted)
So, it is a device made to help with judgment in the field by using a sensory synchronization device that can share the senses with the hero.
It was quite a long story, but to sum it up, it means that the supporters of the office will share my vision and hearing.
Then it will be possible to judge the situation more quickly.
It is a state-of-the-art equipment that can only be seen in science fiction.
But something was a little unsettling.
ㅡ Why is that?
It’s because of you, man.
This equipment must be a machine made with the application of telepathy or psychometry.
So I’m afraid that while using this ability, the fact that the grid is on my body will be discovered.
ㅡ Don’t worry. Because I have that kind of eye too.
Grid said he would refrain from risky actions until stability was secured.
I’d be glad if you did.
“Once the boss comes, let’s talk.”
“Oh, is the boss coming today?”
“Yes.”
ㅡ What is that woman doing here?
I don’t know.
After Yuna started living next door to me, quite a bit of time passed.
We have already figured out what kind of life pattern Yuna is leading.
First of all, Yuna sleeps more in the morning than I thought.
I feel like I always wake up late, maybe I have low blood pressure.
She was seen in her office the other day, and that was the reason for her tired-looking face.
She tried to go to work earlier than me, so her life rhythm must have been broken.
But she seems to have given up completely now that she goes to work a little later than I do.
There is a big reason why I brought up the story of a certain company just in case.
ㅡ The story of the lazy manager.
Yes, that.
The most tired type in the company is the diligent old-fashioned boss.
How much do you hate the boss who says he goes to work later than the general manager and even if he comes to work on time?
That doesn’t mean they pay more.
It was graduation season soon, so my friends insinuated that they didn’t want to go to that kind of company.
After that, Yuna came to work later than I did.
Aside from that, I’m worried because there are many problems with eating, cleaning, and laundry.
Yuna seems to be aware of the problem, and sometimes a woman who seems to be a housekeeper seems to be entering and leaving her house.
If you ask if that’s a trace, you’ll tilt your head slightly, but if Yuna-san is satisfied, that’s a trace.
“For now, Brave, please wear this equipment and work. When the boss comes, I will explain and connect.”
“Yes. I look forward to.”
Since it is a test of the new hero equipment, it is essential to write a report on which points were good and which points were lacking.
I felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of entrusting troublesome tasks to Yuna-san and Hawkeye.
ㅡ You feel uncomfortable doing anything. An unprofessional guy.
It’s uncomfortable that you paid over 2 million won for books on your major, you bastard.
This office itself is a paper company prepared only for me. Would you be comfortable with the burden again?
ㅡ You said it was a necessary expense?
I’m sorry.
The sensory synchronizing device (name undecided) could be adjusted in size.
It’s probably something made with the premise of wearing it before putting on a hero suit.
At this level, it seems that durability is worth looking forward to.
I want to try it right away, but when does Yuna go to work….
ㅡ Now that woman has one more reason to go to work.
Sure.
Me and Grid patrolled while exchanging such jokes.
As I was doing my usual hero activities while looking around, the hero suit was called.
“Yes, I am Brave.”
ㅡ Hello, Brave. Are you okay now?
“Yes, it is fine. Maybe because of the new equipment?”
ㅡ Yes. Don’t be alarmed, I’ll try to activate it now.
“Okay.”
To prepare for an unexpected situation, I moved to a place where there were no people and turned on the device.
Then I heard a hum and felt a momentary loss of consciousness in my head.
ㅡ Ugh!
A painful sound came from Yuna-san for a moment.
“Are you okay?”
ㅡ Oh, yes. Are you okay. That’s why I told her to close her eyes….
I think I was dizzy because I operated the device with my eyes open, and the scenery I saw with my eyes overlapped with the images in my head.
“Then, can we continue our activities as usual?”
ㅡ First of all, I will carry out the checklist, but it doesn’t seem like it will end in a day or two, so please do as usual today.
“Okay.”
It was written that the sensory synchronization device was theoretically prepared to synchronize all the senses.
However, when all the senses are synchronized, the wearer is not aware of any side effects, so the synchronization is limited to the most convenient and certain time.
In fact, I don’t really need any other senses.
If all five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are shared, the pain of a hero being attacked on the spot is also shared.
ㅡ A child on the left holds a balloon,
I jumped up and caught a balloon that was about to fly into the sky.
“Come on.”
“Wow! Thanks, Brave!”
“Do you know me?”
“Wow! I saw you on TV!”
“Really?”
I said hello to the kid and his parents and started patrolling again.
ㅡ … Do you have a very wide field of view?
“Because the first training you do in the training room is the one that broadens your horizons.”
ㅡ What kind of method?
When I talked about the training method that I missed quite a bit now, Yuna-san gave me a tired reaction.
From noble mtl dot com
ㅡ You managed to keep doing that.
“Because I am a hero.”
The training in the training room is getting more and more difficult.
The trainer told me to master the jungle gym before moving on to the next training session, and while I was training with a higher level of difficulty, I couldn’t stop screaming.
But the reason I keep training is because I’m a hero.
There is only one reason.
ㅡ A hero… That’s tough. Is Jinwoo the only one having a hard time?
“I think everyone will do this much? Because monsters don’t beat you gently, and villains don’t take care of things.”
“Oh, Brave! Why are you muttering to yourself like that again today, uh?”
“Ah, Mr. Bow Shop.”
“Are you on the phone with your girlfriend again?”
“Is that because I’m Mosol?”
“Well, why can’t a guy who has lost his stuff not have a woman?”
“Ahahahaha….”
ㅡ ….
I never thought I’d run into a dirty talk expert like this in a rather awkward situation.
“My daughter is a student taking the exam this year… How about when you graduate?”
“I want to remain as everyone’s hero rather than someone else’s hero, mister.”
“My daughter is ugly?!”
It’s a start again, this guy.
I bought some melons that seemed to be ripe enough at the uncle’s store.
“Great. As expected, Brave protects even the wallets of ordinary people, so it’s reassuring!”
A snobbish old man?
Still, I can’t hate you for always pretending to know me and cheering me on.
ㅡ Brave, Grandma over there….
“Grandma. Need some help?”
“Ehh? Are you Nushu?”
“Hero Brave.”
“Hero?”
“Hero.”
“Ah, that TV show?”
“Yes, that hero. Are you going to cross the crosswalk?”
“That’s how it should be. I have to do that, but my legs hurt….”
Even if I wore a sensory synchronizing device, my daily life did not change.
At some point, I forgot about the sensory synchronization device and went on with my usual activities.
***
Yuna blankly watched Hero Brave’s activities.
No, we looked at the same scenery.
It was a really different feeling to see Brave’s world from a different eye level than her usual.
I felt awkward because I was tall, but it wasn’t the only thing.
ㅡ Hey~ Work hard today too! Thank you!
ㅡ No. All of this comes with a paycheck.
ㅡ Yes! We live on our sweat and blood, so we have to work harder!
ㅡ Hey, Mr. Kim! What do you call a person who pays less tax because he doesn’t have a business?
ㅡ Have you finished talking?
ㅡ It’s done!
ㅡ ….
People always gathered where Brave went.
There were children, adults, and the elderly.
They sang Brave with smiles on their faces.
At least, it was a very different scene from what Yuna herself had seen before.
Yuna was born into a blessed environment.
As such, the number of people approaching her was limited.
Yuna recalled the expressions of people who had approached her.
Among them, did anyone look like the people seen through Brave’s gaze?
It doesn’t seem to have been there except for her family.
“Yes… person who is abnormal.”
ㅡ What did you say?
“No.”
She suffered from psychic syndrome and was only waiting for death.
Then I felt like someone would come to me every day and hold my hand.
And suddenly, my eyes opened.
My body felt heavy and uncomfortable, as if it didn’t belong to me anymore.
Her mouth did not open easily and her throat was dry, but she still opened her mouth and she sought the presence.
Lee Jin-woo.
A young man of her 23 years old and who helped her through her first year.
She was the one who helped her in those difficult times, so she opened her heart to Jin-woo so easily.
But she never showed her true feelings to anyone outside of her family, and all her actions were crude.
So she brought up a story about rewards that normal people would love.
But he cut off the story and left with a feeling of disgust.
Yuna felt more likeable in that appearance.
She had never seen anyone act so hard on her.
At first, even though I was a little angry, I felt excited because it was a different feeling.
And that feeling grew the more I got to know him.
He was the type of person she had never met in her life.
At first, she thought that she was the type of person obsessed with the desire for fame, not financial rewards.
But all I really do is walk around and reach out to people in need.
That’s not much help either.
It was such trivial things as helping an old man who couldn’t cross the crosswalk, picking up items from a bag that had been spilled, and catching a balloon that flew high.
He looks so happy and happy while doing such activities.
And he looks just as delighted with him even the people around him.
That was amazing.
Yuna thinks she’s amazing, so she decides to enjoy Brave’s gaze a little more.
Yuna shared the same time with Brave, not knowing that even her own lips had the same smile as the people who gathered around Brave.
