26 – Guest(2)

“Brother, just in case. Really, if something strange happens at the store, then you must call me?”

We were on our way to the store, side by side. It was also on my way to work, and since Chaewon has been busy lately, it was to make breakfast for her after a long time.

“you?”

“yes!”

Chaewon nodded and looked up at me.

“The gate is strange these days. It’s just, it’s very unpredictable and it happens especially often in Seoul.”

“You mean the roulette gate.”

Chaewon was full of worries.

She might be worried because she doesn’t know my strength. That’s what I know as a common man.

“yes! By the way, be careful with the real customers. You know Hunter’s crime, right? They said that bad guys are messing with ordinary people these days.”

“do not worry.”

Feeling a little better at the words that seemed to be concerned, I raised the corners of my mouth.

‘Be unique.’

“Seriously, don’t you know how serious this is?”

“Baby, you know.”

“Do you really have to call me in case of a dangerous situation?”

I smiled softly and nodded. Chaewon suddenly opened her eyes.

“Don’t just be embarrassed by being embarrassed. huh? If my brother calls, I’ll run out right away.”

“Will you protect me?”

Chaewon raised a small fist.

“Of course. If you dare touch my brother, you will all die.”

I felt pretty good. It’s obvious when you see that the shoulders are raised a lot.

‘Ugh, cute. Who is going to protect who this small thing is? make friends… ‘

I opened the store with the thought of tidying up for a month when Chaewon heard it.

**

“Wow! The store has become so pretty!”

Hunter Academy has students on a tight schedule, but when they rest, they definitely rest.

It is mainly divided into before and after practice. I am very busy when I am full of practice, but after that, I am given an ample war label for a couple of months.

Chaewon had just passed her practice week. So I stopped by the store after a long time.

“brother Brother! So are we doing other food too? I mean, I searched for one table a lot. I hear the menu changes every day?”

– Hwaaa.

Chaewon looked at me with eyes full of anticipation.

I destroyed Chaewon’s innocence with a smile.

“no? I will only make noodles.”

“… uh?”

“That’s only meat noodles.”

“Bibim noodles?”

“Don’t do that.”

“why?! why!”

Chaewon cried. Apparently, he was saddened to hear that the bibim noodles, which he often ate, had been deleted.

“It’s one table, so we should have one menu.”

“… ?”

“That’s gross.”

I shook my head. After all, a man must dig only one well.

“Then I have to eat only meat noodles every morning… ?”

“no?”

“Sir, it’s not that I don’t like it.”

Even though he whines like a child every day, he is the one who has a subtle concept. She was the rare person who didn’t consider favors a right.

“… okay. My brother must have thoughts. But where has your sister gone?”

Chaewon found Yujin. At first, the relationship seemed bad, but soon it became like a sister and a younger sister.

“I went on vacation.”

“Your brother works so hard? I can’t. I have to say a word.”

“yes?”

“That’s right. I’m a part-time job student, but I’m just hanging out. Oppa is kind and can’t say anything, so I’ll tell you instead.”

“no… You don’t have to.”

“Uh huh. Just trust me.”

It’s kind of embarrassing to say this, but lately all I’ve been doing was reading books. Yesterday, after Siwoo left, I only read books.

‘Because I don’t want to lose money.’

I made a link with Siu. If you want to get close to him, you’ll have to read some books written by fathers who say they’re Hitler or Adolf. so the conversation will work.

‘Ha, when will I finish reading that?’

I remembered the contents of the book I read yesterday.

-From a pancosmic and self-cosmic point of view… … .

is it Korean? I had this thought. I’m sure I’m reading it, but I don’t understand the contents at all.

‘I’m screwed.’

Looking at the books neatly placed on the table, you can only sigh. But the military should be exempted. It’s okay to give up

Chaewon also asked with a curious look on her face if she had found the book on the table.

“Is that your brother reading it?”

“uh.”

Chaewon’s pupils shook.

“Oh, brother?”

I was dumbfounded and asked again.

“Can’t I read it?”

“no… It’s because even cookbooks are full of text, so people who say their head hurts are reading theses.”

“Kuhm.”

I couldn’t refute it because it was a phrase that fit. Even if everyone else was fooled, Chaewon couldn’t be fooled. I slightly changed the subject.

“Hang in there. I’ll make you noodles.”

“yes!”

Carrots, not ordinary noodles.

As I walked to the kitchen, I recalled the list ahead of time.

‘Because it’s not good if you give too many elixirs. I have to give it slowly day by day.’

[Mandragora]

It greatly increases the user’s luck.

Buy from lottery!

+ You can avoid the danger of death once.

+ Maybe you’ll find some good powers? Pioneer stats increase!

+ Lucky you! don’t sell! Yield to you!

With a hearty smile, he poured the elixir into the noodles.

A terrace cafe located in Cheongdam.

The three looked at each other wordlessly.

“Why didn’t you say anything after calling a busy person? Why did you ask to meet today?”

It was Park Hee-seong who broke the silence.

“You know. It’s because of that man, Han Seong-hoon.”

“Are you going to die too? just live quietly give up.”

“Why give up on someone who will be a great power?”

“Are you really Seolmin? why are you so stupid look at that guy You’re running a noodle restaurant proudly. Hunters are not interested.”

“Do you believe that? power, money. There’s no one who doesn’t like it.”

“I just wanted to see with my own eyes how strong Han Seong-hoon was from the start. Becoming a Hunter or not is none of my business. understand?”

Seol Min-ah frowned and looked at Shin Seo-hyun.

“Seohyun, what do you think? If you just help me, I’ll talk to the president and ask for a drastic reduction in the G-21 gate tariff.”

“Give up. Bad things will happen.”

“Why is everyone like this? Aren’t you greedy? Don’t you want to go higher!”

Seol Min-ah looked at them as if she was frustrated.

“Where is the time to go up from here? I get greedy for no reason, and I fall asleep. just live happily Leave it to the agents in charge.”

Park Hee-seong jumped up from his seat.

“Anyway, I have no intention of getting involved with that bastard Han Sung-hoon. take care of yourself I go.”

“Hey Park Hee-seong! Wait a minute!”

Seol Min-ah hurriedly shouted, but Park Hee-seong went out to the entrance without looking back.

– Kwap.

Seol Min-ah bit her lips.

From a certain point on, he developed a habit of biting his lips when things didn’t go his way.

“Seohyun, will you help me? We are best friends.”

“Min-ah. I don’t know what you’re doing this for. give up.”

“To you… !”

Shin Seo-hyun stood up from her seat and said.

“I’ll go first. And you are weird these days.”

“Seohyun-ah… .”

Shin Seo-hyun flipped her hair back and disappeared with the sound of her shoes clattering.

“f*ck bitch! Are you ignoring me?”

-bang!

Mina hit the table hard as soon as Seohyun walked away.

‘f*ck. What should I do now?’

Chairman Oh Seong-ho.

He is a demon wearing a human mask.

I fell for the devil’s sweet whisper and came to this point now.

‘I can’t end this life.’

This fame and power.

You can’t throw away the sweetness.

However, if you can’t attract Han Sung-hoon.

The life of an S-class hunter comes to an end.

‘I have to be liked.’

Force cannot defeat him anyway.

Then there is one way.

Minah took out her smartphone and called somewhere.

“I have something to tell you about Hunter Han Sung-hoon. Will you take revenge?”

Seol Min-ah gently raised the corner of her mouth.

“Acch.”

I entered the store.

‘Who is talking about me?’

Recently, the frequency of sneezing has increased.

If anyone is talking about me, I hope it’s a woman.

Thinking stupidly, I crossed my legs and opened the book.

‘Is this really fun?’

Adolf’s Psychology.

I’ve been trying several times to have fun.

It’s not easy.

In the end, I closed the book and took out my smartphone and ran YouTube.

“Gigkick, why are you using blink there?”

It is a happy thing to take a break while watching a video of your favorite game.

It’s all because of financial freedom.

– With my daughter.

Someone entered the store.

I quickly put my smartphone in my pocket and smiled as if nothing had happened.

“welcome!”

“hello? long time no see. brother.”

A face that beautifully blends Eastern and Western faces.

Neatly arranged clothes and hair added a luxurious atmosphere.

“long time no see. Shiaya.”

Yusia.

She came to our store.

‘Damn it. I must have seen it.’

Still, Chaewon is a friend in name.

To see such an ugly sight

I looked at her with a shy smile.

“What is it?”

“I came to play because Chaewon said the store had changed.”

“But why are you here alone? come with me.”

“Chaewon told me to go first. He said he wanted to stop by the training ground for a while.”

Chaewon doesn’t usually go to the training ground.

By the way, did you go to the training ground today?

I called for joy in my heart.

‘My younger brother is great!’

I remembered the elixir in the noodles I cooked for Chaewon this morning.

[Mandragora]

It greatly increases the user’s luck.

+ You can avoid the danger of death once.

+ Maybe you’ll find some good powers? Pioneer stats increase!

+ Lucky you! don’t sell! Yield to you!

If you went to the training ground, you must have gone to test out a new authority.

very proud

‘Okay, keep growing.’

Raise your skills first, then practice.

“The interior has changed a lot.”

Sia looked around the store and said.

“Is it luxurious?”

“is that so? I do not know. I like the old interior better.”

“yes?”

Hey, it must be Sia who is used to high class.

There was no way the interior would look like this.

Rather, the old interior will feel more new.

“Sit here. I’ll make you noodles.”

“Oh, it’s okay. I just came to play.”

“No, sit down quickly. It’s okay because there are no guests at the moment.”

I forced her to sit down.

The purpose for which Sia came today.

That’s probably a question about me.

it was better Because I still had something to give her.

“You really look like Chaewon.”

“You mean a compliment?”

Shia smiled softly.

I spread somen noodles in a pan.

“brother. Can I ask just one question?”

“Okay, ask. What?”

“Why don’t you become a hunter?”

An expected question.

You already know everything about my identity.

So, I intend to be honest with Sia.

“Will you keep it a secret from Chaewon?”

“of course. Do not worry.”

“I just want to live a normal life.”

“Is that all?”

I nodded and placed the finished noodles in Shia’s place.

Then he put on a determined expression.

It seems he won’t answer any more.

“I know.”

She didn’t ask me anymore if she understood what I meant.

‘It’s really good that he’s quick-witted.’

You won’t believe me even if I tell you about regression and all that.

It doesn’t matter whether Sia agrees or not.

I answered her question.

That’s it.

“It’s bland.”

“right. Well, there is no reason to be verbose.”

“No, brother… Noodles are bland.”

“uh?”

I looked at Yusia with a puzzled expression.

Did you add the elixir to freshen up?

Like Chaewon, she added the same elixir to her noodles.

I put in a little more amount, but that’s probably why.

Sia said with a smile.

“just joke. it’s delicious.”

“no way. You were surprised.”

Well, if it was Sia’s personality, she would have eaten it silently even if it was really bland.

It must have been a joke to lighten the mood.

I was in awe of her meticulousness.

“brother.”

“yes?”

“Thank you for saving me last time. It’s too late to say hello.”

Sia got up from her seat and bowed her head.

“no, that’s fine. lift your head I just need to get along well with Chaewon.”

“I have decided.”

Sia slowly raised her head and looked at me.

“I want to be stronger than my brother.”

“I like that ambition. You can do it, Sia.”

“I will protect my brother.”

“yes?”

Perhaps because of the lighting, Sia’s face looked slightly red.
