66 – Sweet Rewards (4)

“Now, if you’re hungry, can you come here?”

After completing my volunteer work and leaving the orphanage, I handed out flyers to the children.

On the leaflet, the specific location of my shop and a few menus I was confident in were written.

But the children waved their hands.

“It’s okay, the food comes out well here too.”

“…okay?”

“yes. Sister Solas is sponsoring this!”

As if imitating Solas, the boy clenched one fist and stretched it upward, placing the other hand on his waist.

When Solas’ story came out, I smiled. There are also traces of her everywhere.

After gently stroking his hair, I greeted the nursery school teachers who were watching me from behind.

“Then, let’s go.”

“Yes, Jeong-gyeom. Thanks for your efforts.”

and turn around

There is a reason why I went to volunteer work like this.

Recently, Song Soo-yeon has been going out more often, and Solas has also been busy with hero activities.

As a result, the time I was alone in the store increased, and to be honest, I felt quite lonely.

Naturally, I had no choice but to find what to do next.

The fact that I have to admit now is that the attempt to open the store itself was a failure.

There are not many customers, and even less people sample for free.

I couldn’t have the impact I wanted to have.

If you ask me if I regret it, I don’t.

It was clear that he still had an affection for the store that he had never had before, and that he became close with Song Soo-yeon and Solas because of the space.

That’s why I didn’t have the heart to get rid of the store, and I’m going around like this to save this space.

I wanted to publicize my shop by volunteering at a welfare facility like this.

I check the next schedule.

It was time to go to the nursing home.

****

It was evening when I returned to the store after serving.

Turning on the lights of an empty restaurant, I say hello to my store.

“…How have you been?”

The cozy atmosphere of the store seemed to answer that question.

I sat down in a chair and took out my phone.

As I entered the empty store, I thought of one more thing.

The fact that Song Soo-yeon still hasn’t returned surprised me.

So, I called her.

-Turrr-Tip.

“mister?”

Fortunately, she picks up the phone right away.

Along with the voice came the sound of a rough wind. She seemed to be outdoors now.

It’s a voice I heard after a day, so I feel quite welcome.

I asked.

“Yes, Soo-yeon. where are you.”

momentary silence.

“…Suyeon-ah?”

“…Ah, as I said in the morning, I’m meeting new acquaintances.”

“Are you out?”

“…yes.”

I got up and headed to the kitchen.

Drink a glass of tap water, open the refrigerator and check the ingredients.

“Have you been dating for quite a while?”

“yes.”

“anyway. I called to ask what you would like to eat today.”

“…Dinner…?”

“Tteokbokki? Udon? Or pork belly? marbled? what to eat just talk I will be preparing.”

“…”

“…Suyeon-ah?”

When the answer is late this time, I check my phone. It wasn’t that the radio wave was not going well.

“hello?”

“Yes, uncle. I can hear you.”

Again, the sound of the rough wind and the sound of people humming is heard. It was quite noisy.

Did you go out to downtown?

Swallowing many questions, I said.

“Tell me, what do you want to eat?”

I rummaged through the fridge again and thought of the dishes I could make.

However, Song Soo-yeon answers.

“Ah, today… I think I’m going to have a meal with my acquaintances.”

“…”

my hand loses speed

I blinked for a moment and closed the refrigerator door.

“…Oh yeah? Are you coming over for dinner?”

“yes.”

“…”

I felt a strange sadness. I don’t know why either. Is it because she’s your first friend?

However, he soon shook his head. It’s a moment when even blessing her is not enough.

So he hid his feelings and spoke brightly.

“It’s okay, Soo-yeon. You made friends. did i say You too will find people you can become friends with.”

“…yes.”

“…”

“…”

Even so, there is a limit to acting, and I am at a loss for words in an instant. Quietly biting my lip, I tried to end the conversation.

I guess I will be eating alone today. I realized that it had been a long time since I had eaten alone.

“…okay. Have fun.”

“mister?”

“yes?”

Song Soo-yeon asked me as I was about to end the call.

“…Aren’t you worried?”

“….what the.”

I tried to hide it, but in the end I burst into laughter. Song Soo-yeon laughs quietly as if whispering at the sound of my laughter.

I laughed and everything turned upside down. I admitted, scratching my head.

“I’m a little disappointed.”

The reason could not be explained. But I thought it would be okay without an explanation. Song Soo-yeon must have asked such a question because she understood my feelings.

With a slightly relieved heart, I finished the call again.

“Have fun. don’t be too late Oh, isn’t that something I care about?”

“I won’t be late.”

She is not annoyed by my meddling and accepts it. She also changed a lot.

It certainly doesn’t sharpen the blade like it used to.

So, you must have made new acquaintances.

I smiled.

“…okay.”

After saying that, I ended the call.

****

Luna finished the call and stared at her phone.

‘My Hero’.

She saved Jeong-gyeom like that.

To think that she who became a villain has a hero. Something felt odd.

After taking a deep breath, I got up from my seat.

She was standing on top of a tall container.

Luna, who was at one end, moved to the other side.

His shoes hit the iron plate, making a loud noise.

The more I walked, the more thugs I saw under the container.

Luna likewise stuck next to Stella standing on top of the container.

“Is the call over?”

Stella asked. Song Soo-yeon nodded.

– Puck! Puck! Puck!

Luna moves her eyes to the violent sound she hears again.

At the end of the sound, a trino was mounted on top of a fallen man and was plunging his fists down.

Song Soo-yeon did not feel any inspiration from the cruel appearance. I really couldn’t help but realize how broken I was.

If it wasn’t about Jeong-gyeom, my heart wasn’t agitated at all.

Then Stella spoke.

“…I didn’t expect things to work out this well.”

Then, he gently puts his hand on Luna’s shoulder.

“Thanks to Luna.”

8 hours ago.

Luna, who arrived an hour earlier than the other villains, had to listen to Stella’s boring lecture.

Even though she understood everything, Stella showed sincerity by taking the test, saying that this was an important story.

“Come on, Luna. then tell me How do villains make money?”

“…Do I have to? You said you knew everything.”

Stella shook her head firmly.

Luna sighed and replied.

“…The first is to set up a criminal organization yourself.”

Creating a criminal organization and making money directly is the first option. Drugs, organ trafficking, smuggling, contracting, etc., to establish an organization that can make money.

It was a hassle to decide everything on my own, but the advantage was that I could make a lot of money.

“Right. How about the second method?”

“It’s about supporting the organization.”

The other is to back up existing criminal organizations.

Criminal organizations with villains on their backs are, of course, more difficult to touch.

In that respect, the villain ranking was very important. After seeing that indicator, a war of nerves broke out between organizations.

“That’s right, Luna. But… salty.”

Stella handed some pictures to Luna.

A man whose face was half covered by a costume was photographed.

Stella said while Luna looked at the picture.

“No. 2 in the Villain Ranking. mayhem. Is this person disturbing us?”

“…”

“Didn’t I tell you that Liquid’s goal is to create a drug gang? Even the distribution will take care of it. The problem is that with that goal, Mayhem and the organization that Mayhem cares for now have a tight grip on the Korean drug market.”

“…What, so these people and organizations are your goals today?”

“That’s right, that’s it, Luna. It’s embarrassing to gulp an organization like this, so I think it’s better to dismantle it. Then Liquid can organize itself on the new floor.”

Luna gives the photo back to Stella and asks curtly.

“…Did you call me this early just to tell you this?”

“Besides that, it’s because you have to know the operation plan and the precautions. I have something else to prepare.”

Luna sighs.

And at that moment, Stella’s hand began to glow.

Stella says, quietly boasting of her shiny hands.

“…Luna will be important to today’s plans. I will expect?”

And seeing that hand, Luna had no choice but to swallow her dissatisfaction.

.

.

.

Song Soo-yeon successfully completed the operation.

All ordinary gang members without superpowers were put under her control.

This was the first time I’d ever used my abilities without permission, so I felt quite relieved.

Even though it was the first time he committed a proper crime, he did not feel guilty.

It might be because of the many gangsters who couldn’t even look at each other when they were incompetent, and who were so disgusting when they approached.

As Song Soo-yeon manipulated everyone, Mayhem, left alone, had no choice but to collapse in the combined attack of Liquid and Trino.

Knocked down, he began to be beaten by Trino.

In the meantime, Stingshot and Liem opened one container after another, laughing contentedly at the drugs the organization had stocked up.

Everyone seemed happy, but Song Soo-yeon, who became the main character, wanted to go back now.

I missed Jeonggyeom.

When he called to ask about dinner, and when he said that he would not be able to have dinner with her tonight, the slight resentment in her voice was so cute to Song Soo-yeon.

I was so happy that I wanted to see a little bit of myself. I wanted to run to him right away.

At last she spoke to Stella, who was standing beside her.

“…Can I go back now?”

“Well, wait a little longer.”

“…it takes more than two hours to get home from here.”

“No, there is Liem. I will use teleport.”

“…”

I was a little relieved to hear that I was going to teleport, but my desire to see Jeong-gyeom sooner did not change.

Song Soo-yeon sighs as she squats on top of the container.

Stella looked at her like that and cautioned her.

“Be careful, Luna. Don’t fall.”

“…yes?”

However, after saying that, Stella also sat down beside Luna.

“Does he miss you that much?”

“….What did you say.”

“It’s okay not to hide it, Luna. The atmosphere has changed since we called.”

“…”

“Don’t be like that, just enjoy this situation. Luna also made a lot of money today.”

“…money?”

“Then, of course. This drug is all ours now. With the money you earn, buy a gift that ‘Mister’ will like. what shoes? Something like this.”

Talking about money makes my heart feel a little lighter. I don’t know how much it would cost, but it didn’t seem like it would be low.

Now I will be able to return the studio to Jeong-gyeom. Maybe I can repay him the favor.

Even Min Bom will not be pushed back economically.

Reflecting on that thought, she roused her mind.

Then Stella spoke.

“Come on, Luna. That’s it. Should I give you what you promised?”

Song Soo-yeon’s heart is most surprised today.

I knew without asking what the promise was.

Song Soo-yeon nodded.

Stella asked.

“…what kind of dream do you want? As much as you did a really great job today, I’ll do anything for you. Dreaming of having sex with the uncle you love? A dream of beating him like a slave? A dream where he is obsessed with Luna?”

Song Soo-yeon quietly chewed on those high-level proposals.

The fact that any ugly desire could be solved excited her.

After long consideration, Song Soo-yeon opened her mouth to choose one.

“…..”

But no words came out. I knew that if I just spit out the words now, I could make that wish come true at night.

That’s why I’m more hesitant. Will I be able to endure that moment? Will my heart explode?

finally she says

“…a dream.”

“….yes?”

She puts her head in her lap and asks a little louder.

“……It’s a dream of dating an old man.”

Stella burst into laughter.

Song Soo-yeon didn’t know why she was laughing. As Song Soo-yeon, these words were spoken seriously. Just dreaming of dating him made my heart flutter.

“…Ability is so pure that it’s terrifying, Luna.”

“…”

“…I didn’t expect Luna to have a side like this.”

“….yes?”

“no. Now, sell me.”

Song Soo-yeon could not look at Stella.

She still buried her face in her lap and stretched out her arms.

He felt Stella’s hand resting on it.

Song Soo-yeon’s heart pounded painfully just from that.

More than when I controlled a lot of thugs, more than when I saw Mayhem beaten up, more than when I found a lot of drugs, more than when I was told that I made a lot of money.

“…Tonight, have a nice dream.”

Stella whispers.

Song Soo-yeon nodded slightly.

****

Having skipped a meal due to lack of appetite, I checked my watch.

It was nine o’clock.

I received a call that Song Soo-yeon would arrive within an hour.

I stop and think and finally decide.

A new acquaintance for her.

I really feel that I am stepping out into society.

How much effort did you put in for it?

Considering the sexual harassment she suffered during that time, I can only say that these efforts are amazing.

Are you doing this because you want to repay me in some way?

getting a little bit muddled

So, I have to congratulate you today.

It was also an attempt to make up for the disappointment I felt.

I take out the pizza restaurant flyer that I put on the counter desk.

“…Well…”

What does Song Soo-yeon like?

After thinking for a while, I dialed the number and called.

“Yes, is it delivered there? Oh, here’s a combination pizza…”
