77 – Identity Revealed (3)
After the story, a strange awkwardness remains between us.
“Hey, have you eaten?”
“No….”
“Then shall we eat together?”
“Yes!”
I decided to have a little late dinner with the energetic author somewhere.
ㅡ I’ll have to do it with a lot of volume and fast. It’s fried rice!
“I don’t think there will be much rice, right?”
ㅡ Instant rice is also used!
“Ah, that will work.”
While I was cooking like that, the author came out and looked at Grid with a very subtle expression.
“Why?”
“Senior… By the way, what is the gender of Mr. Grid?”
ㅡ It’s a woman! Heh heh.
“Yes?”
The author’s expression was stained with astonishment.
“It’s bullsh*t, so don’t worry about it. They say monsters don’t have a gender.”
The author glared at Grid.
ㅡ It’s an American joke, hehehehe, hahahahaha!
Her nerves were very sensitive due to the confrontation with Humbert.
Grid hadn’t even played a joke like this before.
Then, her relationship with Ji-eun recovers to some extent and her mood seems to have eased as her mood improves.
“This is oddly annoying.”
ㅡ … If you’re uncooperative like that, I can’t help you when you give birth to Brave II.
“What, what?!”
The author glared at the grid with her face dyed red.
Grid seemed to like the author’s facial expression and kept laughing with a loud ‘keuhuhuh’ sound.
ㅡ When you do the act of giving birth to a second generation, they cling to your side and constantly harass you, keuhehehehe.
“Hey, hey, hey!”
ㅡ Are there profits and no losses? Ha ha ha!
“Do it in moderation, man.”
ㅡ You’re good at attacking, but you’re a weak defensive type. Fun!
“Oh, how annoying!”
The author was so angry that she even rolled her feet.
I get a little annoyed when I argue with this guy.
But it’s amazing to see Ji-Eun lose her in an argument for the first time.
While teasing the author, Grid worked diligently with her frying pan to finish the fried rice in an instant.
It is cooked in almost the same amount of time as the soup for eating with fried rice.
Greed took some of the fried rice from the frying pan and put it on the cook’s tableware and pressed the rest into a large bowl.
“Why are you so gluttonous? Pig….”
ㅡ There is no nucleus, so energy must be supplemented in other parts.
“Ah, that’s the way it is.”
The author looked at the fried rice in front of her with a slightly complicated expression.
It is expressed as a monster, but if you think about it a little differently, isn’t it a bit like an alien?
It must be inconvenient to eat fried rice made by aliens.
ㅡ Aliens? Cancel it, kid….
“Aliens?”
“The monster feels a bit like that, doesn’t it?”
“I guess so.”
ㅡ Apologize!
“Sorry sorry. Let’s eat.”
I first put the fried rice in my mouth so that the author could eat it without worry.
Grid, who is secretly a gourmet, is also quite good at cooking.
To be honest, if I had a cooking showdown with Grid now, I would be confident enough to lose.
I started on my own at the age of 20, and now I can’t win even after 4 years.
ㅡ You and I are in a different class, keuhehehehe.
This bastard?
The author carefully put the fried rice in her mouth and then made a futile expression.
“Why? It tastes awful?”
“No… It is so delicious.”
The author continued to bite her rice with a hopeless expression.
ㅡ Khehehe.
Grid kept laughing as if the author knew why she was making that face.
The more this happened, the more the author’s expression became more distorted.
Don’t do it because it’s scary, you bastard….
***
After she finished eating, they drank tea together.
It will soon be 10:00.
The author should go home too.
So, while trying to keep an eye on her, Ji-eun began to hesitate.
“Why?”
“That… senior.”
“Huh?”
“Your senior said that there are dangerous people. Right?”
“I did.”
After this night, she will have to meet with them again and come up with a plan.
“That… something is scary I think a monster might have actually lived next door.”
While saying that, the author touched her own chest.
I wonder if she is remembering the pain when her heart was pierced….
“Are you very scared?”
“Yeah… yes. I’m kind of scared.”

The author slightly lowered her head.
I don’t know what kind of expression it will be, but it must be a bit dark.
ㅡ Brave.
Why?
ㅡ Takes out one core.
Grid arbitrarily stretched out her hand and grabbed one of her cores.
“What is it?”
The author, who had been lowering her head, also tilted her head at Grid’s sudden action.
ㅡ It means that the moment to go out for 2 nights and 3 days has finally arrived. Heh heh.
“Ugh!”
The author’s face turned noticeably red.
Ah, did this guy really understand what the author said?
You did something stupid.
“It’s okay, don’t.”
Judging from the fact that the author brought up the story of being anxious, it must be that she is afraid to be alone.
“Ji Eun-ah.”
“Yes, yes!”
“No big deal since Grid is with me anyway. How long has she been discharged? Sleep in bed I will sleep on the floor.”
Because my body sleeps little to begin with, I don’t have to sleep, and I’m a body that doesn’t deteriorate when I sleep on the floor.
The author is a bit complicated, but she nodded her head with a somewhat relieved expression.
ㅡ Stuffy bastards….
Grid took out the remote control with a sigh.
The sound of the TV that Grid turned on broke the awkward silence.
“Shall we watch TV?”
“Yes….”
While watching TV, Grid skillfully started frying corn for popcorn in a frying pan.
ㅡ Today is a caramel cut.
“Senior, senior.”
“Why?”
“That person? No, do monsters usually feel like that?”
“Eh.”
I changed little by little and now I’ve become a comedian.
Because he’s more emotional and spontaneous than me, there are times when I wonder if he’s human anymore.
Films with grids began to appear on TV.
It was the movie that I came up with as an example of fundamentalism not too long ago.
“Oh, it’s been a while.”
The author also likes hero movies quite a bit, so he said he watched all the famous ones.
After a while, Grid came with a bag of popcorn.
The popcorn tossed with caramel sauce had something to whet the appetite even after dinner.
And it seems that the author was no exception.
I was staring at Grid’s popcorn bucket, wanting to eat some.
Grid is a greedy guy, so he won’t give up his food.
ㅡ Hmm.
But Grid held out a bowl of popcorn to the author.
“Hey.”
ㅡ Hmm?
“You b*tch… You haven’t shared it with me before, have you?”
ㅡ Do you share what you think is pretty?
“This son of a b*tch….”
ㅡ Khehehe.
The author overheard the conversation between me and Grid, and she smiled slightly and waved at me.
“It’s a bit large, so let’s eat together.”
“… Thank you.”
ㅡ From the beginning, it was generously distributed for the two of them to eat together.
“Oh, is that so?”
Don’t even bother with your teeth, man.
Since I was watching a movie while eating popcorn, I wanted a cola somewhere.
ㅡ Popcorn and collage.
While saying that, Grid took out two Cokes and one of Sol’s eyes.
ㅡ f*ck Sol’s eyes, Brave.
… It tastes pretty good, but it’s just too much.
The film entered the first conflict.
A hero feels like a kind of vigilante.
However, the heroes of the movie possessed such strong power that the government regarded them as quite a nuisance.
So now, the men are divided into the faction that wants to quit being a vigilante and the faction that men are vigilantes.
ㅡ I hate controlling people.
Grid asserted himself, saying that vigilante activities are the essence of being a hero.
“Still, from the point of view of ordinary citizens, I am anxious. There are many citizens who die while heroes fight.”
ㅡ Hmm….
Grid doesn’t seem to like that opinion very much.
Because he doesn’t care how many people who have nothing to do with me die in the first place.
If the people around me die, my physical condition deteriorates, so I guess I only care about that part.
In the first place, Grid often says that humans are ignorant, stupid, and selfish.
He’s a guy with a bit of a chosen people’s ideology, so that’s what you should do.
The movie gradually began to reach a climax.
The trauma of being the leader of a faction that wants to quit being a vigilante came out as a video.
ㅡ Geuggeuggeuk.
Grid began to overindulge in this scene.
Then the video went to the extreme, and the comrades who were on the same side started fighting each other.
Bucky is my friend.
I was your friend too.
When that subtitle appeared, Grid started to lose his temper.
ㅡ That son of a b*tch!
If you’re going to have a temper like this, I don’t know why you turned this on.
A bastard you don’t even know.
As the movie ended, Grid started munching on his remaining popcorn.
“Captain too… Maybe I am sad because I am a victim.”
“I don’t think so.”
ㅡ Aang?
Grid looked at us and frowned.
The author looked at the grid with the feeling of reading extensively when the children in the kindergarten were fighting.
“Captain was a small young man with only a sense of justice. He then he became an enhanced human, he left loved ones behind and came to the future. There is no one around who knows.”
I was stuck in the ice and turned into an iced Americano.
“It was a situation where I suddenly landed in a foreign country where I didn’t know a single person around me. In the future, you will never see your family or friends. But suddenly, a friend appeared.”
So I have no choice but to cling to it.
When the author said that, Grid gnashed his teeth and glared at the author.
ㅡ Does that mean you beat up your friends?
“The captain is like a child, even though he has a big body. Since my precious friend was brainwashed, I couldn’t have abandoned him.”
ㅡ Tony never forgot the moment he hurt his parents until he became an adult. Who beats up a guy like that is a child? It’s just thugs.
“I want to kill you in front of my eyes, but I have to stop it. It is a friend’s job to keep a friend from going the wrong way.”
ㅡ sh*t! I can’t speak!
Grid snatched cola and popcorn from the author’s hands.
“Ah!”
ㅡ This popcorn and Coke are not yours. You don’t deserve this I made this popcorn and Coke!
“Poop!”
No, that’s where it comes from?
I held my stomach and laughed for a while.
The scene in which the captain bursts into emotion must have been arranged in his own way.
The author glanced at her hands, as if dumbfounded, and then she looked back at the grid.
Grid popped the popcorn into her mouth and sipped the Coke.
ㅡ Yummy….
Something seems to be less energetic than usual.
Are you upset?
ㅡ No!
But I also think that the captain who squeezes his friend is a bit too much.
ㅡ … Heh heh! It’s been a while since we talked!
Easy guy.
After the movie was over, it was already bedtime.
I took out the blanket I had bought as a spare and laid it out.
“Good night.”
“Good night, senpai.”
Click, click, click, click.
Click, click, click, click.
As she lay down with her eyes closed, Ji-eun kept tossing and turning.
“Can’t you sleep?”
“… How can you sleep when it’s so noisy and dazzling!”
ㅡ Just cover your eyes with a towel, human.
This bastard is still pissed off.
“Did you always live like this, senior?”
“Once you get used to it, I don’t really care.”
This is the house you chose.
Stay strong with evil, Ji-eun.
