87 – After the Storm (2)
I slowly opened my eyes at the strangely noisy sound and saw a strangely familiar ceiling.
I’ve been going there for two years in the name of volunteering for self-satisfaction, but there’s no way I don’t know.
A strangely stiff feeling, I slowly examined my body and found that my whole body was wrapped in bandages.
It was a strange feeling because I felt like I was mummified alive.
Still, this state of affairs means I’m not far behind.
“Son!”
As I was staring at my body, I heard a voice I didn’t want to hear right now.
It was my mother.
“Mom? Dad is there too….”
With her terrifying face, my mother scolded her, saying, Why did she say that she was a hero and ended up like this?
Her father tried to dissuade her mother, but instead she was scolded as an added bonus, asking why she pushed her back and made it to this point.
It’s a scene that would normally make you feel gloomy, but strangely, laughter came out.
When my mother saw that, she got angry and said, “What did she do well?” But she couldn’t stop laughing.
Because I’m alive, I got to see this scene.
Familiar faces came to the hospital even after my parents had gone.
“Hey, after all, I’m a guru of investment, right?”
“Recognized each other.”
Junghyuk and Taeil came empty-handed.
Cups without a case.
“Why are you empty-handed?”
“Oh… Seeing how free-spirited Agari is, she looks fine.”
“Does a chickpea bring a gift because it’s pretty?”
Junghyuk and Taeil exchanged words one by one and reached for the fruit basket that my parents bought.
There is no such case, you scumbags with no manners….
“Yeah~ It’s delicious.”
I’m an asshole for thinking that they were peeling apples, even for a moment.
“Uh, sweet potato senior. It hurts a lot?”
“I think I’m going to look around. But are you a genius of investment, what do you mean by that?”
“You’ve been such a mess these days, senior.”
Siwoo said that while piling up the canned peaches he had brought as a gift in the cabinet of my bed, bringing up such a story.
“Gaedeoksang? No, what….”
Junghyeok and Taeil finally reached out to the canned food Siwoo brought.
I removed the scumbags out of sight and asked Siwoo what had happened.
Siwoo told me the story after I defeated the monster.
After midnight, a terrifying monster appeared in Hapjeong.
Brave used the Hero Emergency Call while fighting the monster, but the heroes who arrived on the scene were of no help.
There were also two heroes who almost died because their whole body bones were broken in a single blow.
The heroes decided that they couldn’t win on their own, so they ran away.
However, there were still many citizens who could not evacuate.
Since the siren sounded so often, she thought it was a malfunction, so the citizens’ response was delayed.
In addition, the monster went on a rampage and even destroyed the detector, and since no additional sirens sounded, the response was further delayed.
As heroes began to gather in such a situation, people with strong curiosity rather gathered at the scene of the incident.
In that situation, the heroes ran away from the monster.
Citizens were exposed to the monster as it was.
In a situation where they couldn’t even run away, only one hero, Brave, was left in a mess.
“Now in that situation, wow… The senior just stood up like this.”
Siwoo started an exaggerated commentary with a voice that felt hot as if he had seen the scene himself.
The superhero Brave stands up with the determination to burn his life to protect the citizens.
He stood still, staggering as his legs gave way.
And behind him was a citizen who could not escape.
If he collapsed or ran away, the citizens behind him would be caught up.
In such a situation, Brave awakens to a new power!
A mountain-shattering blow was fired and shells exploded, but Brave stood tall and stopped the monster’s attack!
As it is, Brave threw the monster into the sky and turned into a thunder god….
From noble mtl dot com
“Thunder god?”
“Is it really bad?”
Siwoo said that and played a shaky video that seemed to have been taken by someone.
There was something stamped there that emitted a blue light and a deafening roar.
“So when Brave, who had turned into a thunder god, raised his hand to the falling monster, he sighed!”
Siu stretched out his hand toward the sky in an exaggerated gesture and nodded his head.
“End!”
Something was unnecessarily long and hot, but in the end it must be the story that I became famous by catching a monster.
“Who is the victim?”
“Oh… After all, sweet potato, no, Mr. Brave.”
The two heroes are seriously injured and are still undergoing treatment.
Among the rest of the citizens, there are citizens who were seriously injured after being crushed by rubble, but there are no fatalities.
It was possible because it was late and most of the people had to evacuate because the monster broke the screen door.
Hearing that, I felt the strength in my stiff shoulders drop.
“Uh… Come to think of it, the date is already like this.”
The third Saturday of August is definitely the day of the graduation ceremony for the second semester, but the date has already passed.
The guys here must have come to visit me to congratulate me on my graduation.
“Anyway, senpai, it was really crazy. Uh… And well, now that my business is over, I’ll go.”
“Yes. But what is the investment guru?”
“I posted on the Internet that I got an autograph because I was an acquaintance of a senior, but there were a lot of comments saying that I just wanted to buy it.”
These worms.
I kicked Siwoo and his friends out of the hospital room.
I just lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Before I met my parents, I must have had a dream.
I don’t remember the details, but it must have been the same dream again.
But I think I kept having strange dreams….
Grid, do you know something?
I found the grid, but the grid didn’t respond.
I’m not such a bastard….
Usually, I would have said things like ‘You almost died, keuhhehehe!’ Or ‘Think that you lived thanks to me, idiot.’ I would have been sarcastic.
I thought something was strange, but I couldn’t stand the pouring drowsiness and closed my eyes.
Since Grid became parasitic on my body, I’ve lost a lot of sleep, but it felt like my eyes closed on their own because I was sick.
If you think about it, Humbert, the date that bastard appointed is right around the corner, so you can’t sleep properly for a week.
The fire was quickly put out.
You can rest for a while.
I thought so and closed my eyes.
***
Ji-Eun Ji-Eun heard the news that Jin-Woo fought a monster and became a wreck while she was sleeping.
Ji-Eun Ji-eun She just woke up and went to the hospital with sporadic hair.
And there, I was able to meet Jin-woo’s parents, who were looking nervous just like Ji-eun.
The situation was completely opposite to when Jin-Woo moved Ji-Eun to the hospital.
Ji-eun was nervous.
For some reason, his heart continued to roar.
The pain he felt when his heart was pierced kept coming back to him.
If something happened to Jinwoo’s body… !
Because of that thought, he couldn’t get out of his seat.
While he was sleeping peacefully, Jin-woo was in danger of dying.
There must have been something I could have done….
Only those thoughts kept bothering Ji-eun.
How much time has passed.
The doctor and nurse came out.
Jin-woo’s parents and Ji-eun immediately rushed to the medical staff and asked about Jin-woo’s condition.
“I don’t think you need to worry too much because the recuperative power is very good. Although there are burn wounds all over the body… It also healed very quickly.”
People with psychic powers who have the ability to strengthen their bodies often said that this kind of thing happened and told them not to worry.
Ji-Eun’s legs gave out and she sat down.
She knew that Jinwoo was being targeted by a man called Humbert.
In order to help Jin-woo, she faced her psychic powers once again, but she was of no help.
Ji-eun went back to her headquarters with such guilt.
Even the next day, Jin-woo did not open his eyes.
The doctor told her not to worry, saying Jin-woo would open her eyes in a day or two, but Ji-eun’s chest only burned.
If the other heroes had a little more strength, Jinwoo wouldn’t have been hurt that much.
Jieun’s head was full of such thoughts.
Then the media asked about the incident of this monster commotion.
The monster that appeared this time was a monster that was at least close to A-class in strength.
It is said that its strength was such that a person with a body enhancement type could die in one blow.
The heroes decided that they could not deal with such a monster and ran away, and the citizens who remained on the scene were belatedly put in danger.
It was a story that praised Jin-Woo, who stood up again even when he was wrecked to protect the citizens in such a situation, as a true hero.
At the same time, in order to deal with such a strong monster, the story continued that it seems that equipment to support the heroes must be prepared quickly.
It was as he said.
If heroes had a little more helpful equipment, they could have fought monsters.
In that case, Jin-Woo wouldn’t have been in danger of dying.
Jieun decided to spend a little more time on the heroes’ equipment.
Then, Siwoo, a classmate, posted a KakaoTalk message about Jinwoo waking up in the club’s KakaoTalk room.
Ji-eun hurriedly dressed up and headed to the hospital.
Unlike Junghyeok and Taeil, Jeeeun, who knows manners, did not miss out on a gift for visiting.
‘Senior… Will it be okay?’
Ji-eun headed to the hospital with such quick steps, greeted the nurse and headed to Jin-woo’s room.
Ji-eun froze as she opened the door to the single-person hospital room where Jin-wu stayed alone.
Beside Jinwoo, there was a woman he had never seen before.
No, can she call it a woman?
Jieun felt like she was dreaming of herself.
Splendid yet sophisticated silver hair that can hardly be seen with dyed hair.
Long like a model, her feminine body was neither too much nor too little.
At first glance, her face, which looked a little cold, felt something different from Yuna, who used to be her fool.
‘Who are you… ?’
At that moment, the woman who was looking at Jin-woo met her eyes.
She closed her eyes in a moment of dazed feeling, then smiled softly.
Then, Jinwoo gently ran her hand over the bed she was lying on.
It seemed like a provocation to Jieun.
Me and Jinwoo are so close.
There is no room for you to intervene here.
It felt like we were protesting like that.
Jieun widened her eyes and approached her.
“Hello, how are you?”
Ji-eun spoke to the woman with an expression that didn’t say goodbye at all.
Seeing Jieun like that, the woman narrowed her eyes and smiled even deeper.
If Jin-woo had not been by her side, Ji-eun might have noticed the strangeness of the woman.
However, a beautiful woman sits next to Jin-woo pretending to be friendly.
The situation drove her judgment crazy.
“Who are you… ?”
To Ji-eun, the woman in front of her only seemed to be trying to steal Jin-woo from her.
“hehehehe!”
The woman let out a laugh that sounded strange.
The sound of laughter that I’m sure I’ve heard somewhere, but I don’t.
Jieun frowned at her and glared at her.
“Do you know me?”
“Of course.”
Who are you?!
Ji-eun felt like she wanted to scream.
“Okay….”
At that time, I heard a sound like Jinwoo waking up.
