Inside the office where silence flows .
Kang Su-yeon’s voice crossed the silence .
“ Uh… . So… , there are mermaid tears… ? why… ?”
“ I got it by accident… .”
“ A mermaid’s tears ?”
“… yes .”
… by chance ?
It’s obvious if you don’t see it .
Perhaps the ‘system’ gave it to you .
A mermaid’s tears are a rare item that is difficult to obtain even with money .
It’s not something that Yoo Ji-hwan, a single student, without even a temporary rank, could have .
What is the reason for hiding such a good item from me? .
To avoid my doubts ? Did
the beggar-like ‘system’ even wind up telling me to be wary ?
At the time when I was desperately trying to control my rising anger and controlling my emotions .
“ Then can you tell me if I’m genuine ?”
“ No, it’s okay… .”
Clever –
someone knocked on the office door .
Kang Su-yeon and her husband, who had been forced to stop talking, turned their heads at the same time to look at the door , and then someone
knocked on
the door again, and before I could even open my mouth, the door burst open .
“… Excuse me .”
“ Huh ?”
“ Huh? Are you Soyeon ?”
It was Min So-yeon .
At the unexpected appearance of Min So-yeon, the atmosphere subsided as if cold water had been poured .
Min So-yeon walked into the office, glanced at the inside of the office, and put her hand on her husband’s shoulder, who was sitting there, confidently speaking out .
“… Is Jihwan finished with his business ?”
“ So, Soyeon-ah. I’m talking now… .”
Who you look like, it’s arrogant .
The moment when you try to open your mouth to say a word to Min So-yeon .
Kang Soo-yeon, who was watching her quietly from the side, sneaked in .
“ Ah, I guess I’m busy… . I’m done. You can take me with you!”
… look at this
When I looked sharply at Kang Soo-yeon, who secretly took Min So-yeon’s side, Min So-yeon forced her husband to get up and greeted us .
“… I ‘ll just go .”
“… Soyeon-ah, that… , ha… . … thanked. See you later .”
Then, my husband greeted us as if he had no choice but to say goodbye to us, and I said that I would contact the two of them thinking that we would see each other and waved .
Kung –
So, after my husband and Min So-yeon disappeared .
“… Kang Su-yeon .”
When he spoke with his magical powers fluttering, Kang Su-yeon responded with an expression that he did not know anything .
“ Sister? Why all of a sudden ?”
“… What do you mean ?”
“ Yes? Isn’t that your intention ?”
I said softly, tapping the armrests .
“… Are you sure Jihwan has no curses on his body ?”
Then, he spread magic power around Kang Su-yeon and threatened him strongly .
However… .
“ Ha… Sister, that is a disease .”
Kang Su-yeon shook her head as she leisurely accepted my threat .
“ I feel sorry for my brother… . How can a mother and daughter like the same man? Well, is male preference hereditary ?”
Kang Su-yeon, who seems to have noticed the relationship between Min So-yeon and her husband, is openly sarcastic .
… A dog year… .
“… Just one more word .”
As he gave a cold warning and sharply lit his eyes, Kang Su-yeon raised her hands and slowly got up .
“ Yeah, yeah… . I have no intention of intervening in the soybean flour family… . Anyway, you don’t have any ‘debt’ anymore, do you?”
‘ debt’ .
After Kang Su-yeon was caught voyeuring her husband, it is a kind of wish right that she put forward on behalf of her life .
“… huh? Why are you not talking ?”
After staring at Kang Su-yeon, who was urging me, I waved my hands as if getting nervous to shape ‘debt’ .
Hurricane –
Blue flames floating in the air .
“ Ugh… . I should have just run away with you… .”
At the moment when Kang Su-yeon is complaining and trying to collect the ‘debt’… .
Suck –
“… Wait .”
As I remembered something, I gently raised my hand to stop her from moving .
“ Why again ?”
Kang Su-yeon complains about her dissatisfaction .
I glared at her and slowly opened my mouth .
“… Why did you side with Min So-yeon ?”
that moment .
“… me ?”
Kang Soo-yeon’s blue eyes fluttered faintly .
*
On the way home .
… Why is he doing this… ?
At Soyeon’s act of holding her hand tightly as if she was not going to let go, the words she was trying to rebuke were swallowed up .
I wondered if something happened, but I tried my luck… .
“… Soyeon-ah. Did something happen ?”
Soyeon didn’t answer, just hugged my arm tightly and accelerated her steps .
After arriving home without even talking like that .
“ What would be good… .”
While Soyeon went up to her room, I was also changing into the clothes I had brought before and browsing the streets of the evening .
then .
Ouch –
I felt something wrapped around my waist from behind .
“ … .”
As I reflexively shrugged and slowly turned my head, Soyeon, who had already changed clothes, was hanging on me .
… when did you come
I had a small doubt because I didn’t even feel like I was popular, so I quickly closed the refrigerator and asked Soyeon.
hugged me .
“ Soyeon-ah. What do you want to eat ?”
Then Soyeon slowly raised her head and looked at me .
… Is there anything you want to eat… ?
I couldn’t understand Soyeon’s intentions, so I picked her up and headed to the living room sofa .
“… 👌👌👌👌👌👌 .”
Then, leaning back on the sofa, she looked at Soyeon on her legs .
“… .”
Where did the figure that pulled me out proudly, strangely shaggy red eyes .
As if something was wrong with her, her plump lips were tightly shut .
And even the messy hair .
There is no other poor female protagonist .
“… What’s going on ?”
I shuffled her hair and made eye contact .
Then she leaned on me and stood up, and, sadly, holding onto her clothes tightly, she spoke .
“… with mom… , what did you say ?”
“ Huh? ah… . It’s not a big deal, I got some health checkups from the saint .”
“… Health check-up ?”
Suck –
I took Soyeon’s hand when she relaxed, I quickly changed her posture and sat her down, turning her to the side .
“… Why all of a sudden ?”
“ Well? I was told to get it, so I just got it… .”
“… Where do you hurt ?”
“You ’re fine .”
As if relieved by the news that she was fine, Soyeon leaned her head back and mumbled .
“… I’m glad… .”
I inadvertently raised the corners of my lips at Soyeon’s unusual reaction, and while trying to calm her laughter, I gently stroked Soyeon’s back .
… Why did I feel bad again today? .
Actually, I got a rough idea when the story of my wife came out .
I couldn’t pay attention to So-yeon because she was caught by Kang Su-yeon, but I left So-yeon alone again, so it is natural to feel sad .
It’s a time when attention and love are still needed, but how sad would it have been for me to be close with my mother ?
Of course, it’s not wrong for me to be friendly with Joo Hee-hee, but… .
Anyway, this is also my fault .
Something… , Is there any event that will soothe Soyeon’s heart ?
“… uh… .”
After stroking Soyeon in her arms, I was worried for a while, and then I swung to the topic of subjugating the next gate .
“ Soyeon-ah. We’re going through the gate this weekend .”
She doesn’t respond at all .
Well… . It’s not a gate… .
I quickly turned the topic down and looked at Soyeon’s reaction .
“ Where do you want to go the next day ?”
OK… .
“… Where ?”
Then, as if tempered, Soyeon showed a reaction .
“ It’s a little difficult to go far because I’m tired… . Oh !”
As I continued to speak, I paused as I thought of a plan that suddenly came to my mind and said ,
“… ?”
As if Soyeon was trying to talk about something, she gently raised her head and looked up at me .
What does Soyeon need now ?
It’s just attention and love .
So, isn’t that why you’re so immersed in ‘love play’ ?
This is not a problem that can be solved simply with my own attention and love .
“ Would you like to eat out with your mother this time ?”
You just need a family… !

“ Like this… ?”
Took –
When Jihwan’s ‘nutrition’ is dropped on the electronic scale, the number goes up on the instrument panel .
[ 7.12g ]
“ Hmm… .” Pick
up a pen and write down the weight in a notebook ,
swipe- swish-
– 17. HP 1.5g + LA 2g + AD 3.5g –
I swept up the white powder on the scale and poured it into a bag for serving .
“… Whoa… .”
Then I stretched out my body and took off the mask, turning my back to prepare to make ‘milk’ to feed Jihwan .
Meanwhile .
Thump-thump-thump –
Someone knocked on the door .
“… .”
There is no one in this house who can knock on the front door . Kung- Kung-
Kung –
I glanced at the ‘nutritive supplements’ that I was manufacturing, then covered the cloth appropriately and approached the front door .
“… who are you… ?”
Perhaps? I cautiously approached the door with anticipation of .
“ Ah! hello! Is this the student Hyesun Gong’s house ?”
… no… .
A voice that defies expectations has been heard .
Woman… ? Who is it… ?
I checked the lock on the door latch, and then slyly spoke to the woman behind the door .
“… Who are you… ?”
OK… .
“ Ah… . Do you know what a ‘saint’ is ?”
An unexpected answer came back .
‘ Saint Lady’ Kang Su-yeon .
Why is he here… ?
In a suspicious situation where there is no choice but to doubt, I was slowly stepping backwards thinking about calling ‘family’… .
Knock -knock –
Suddenly, the lock started to disengage on its own .
Crackle –
“… uh, uh… ?” A
snap –
and the moment all locks were released .
Bumping –
The door opened and said ,
“ Wow… . It’s been a while since I’ve done it, so it’s pretty difficult, isn’t it ?”
A gorgeous silver-haired woman, Kang Su-yeon, stole her forehead and entered the house .
A ‘saint’ who opens the door… .
“… what are you… ?”
I was wary of her by quickly raising her magic power, but Kang Su-yeon greeted me with a friendly face .
“ You’re Hyesun Gong, right? My name is Kang Su-yeon .”
And then he stretched out his hand… .
“ Are you working with me ?”
He made a sweet offer that he couldn’t refuse .
