8 – suggestion

7:00 pm.

I came out after cleaning the store.

The chilly evening air brushed through his lungs, but the corners of his mouth did not go down.

‘Three times.’

The sales with the force were three times higher than usual.

I couldn’t help but feel bad.

‘Certainly, because she uses pretty part-timers, she does it all the time.’

I remember their passion for promoting outside when there were no customers.

Of course, they wanted something from me. But civil servants anyway. It is something that can be done casually, and I feel good about doing it with care.

I locked the store door and left.

On the way home, my steps are light today.

‘Sia?’

I saw Sia talking across the crosswalk. I was in front of the car, and judging by the gestures, it seemed that I was talking to someone in the car.

I naturally turned my steps toward it.

“So, now you mean… … ”

A faintly audible voice. I frowned and looked at the person in the car.

At the same time, they also stopped talking and stared at me, probably feeling the presence.

The subjects Shia was talking to were agents from the government.

Sia looked at me and bowed her head.

“hello. Chaewon’s older brother.”

“Uh, haven’t you gone in yet?”

“Yeah. I have some business to see.”

Sia looked at Saerom with a smile. Saerom’s shoulders twitched.

“What were you talking about?”

“I didn’t say much.”

I looked at the two of them in the car. Despite the cold weather, he was sweating.

‘Is it disgusting?’

late night. two talking.

One is the daughter of a conglomerate, and my sister’s only friend.

And another group of agents from the government.

It was about two hours ago when they left work. Then I heard you continued talking… … .

‘It’s caught.’

Just looking at it, I caught my identity. When I think of Yoo Shia in my previous life, she is smart. Since she is the daughter of Korea’s top company, she must have good information.

But I pretended not to know and pushed my face against the window.

“It’s getting late, so hurry up. Don’t be late tomorrow.”

“Yes Yes.”

“You go in too. Your parents will be worried.”

‘Ah, no way.’

Still, they are from the government.

In a way, Sia was a competitor to them.

I wouldn’t have said such advanced information unless I had a gun pointed at my head.

Since Sia is a good kid, she probably wouldn’t have argued and asked. Probably, the reason it took two hours was probably because they kept their mouths shut.

“De, let’s go in!”

Saerom saluted in a rigid posture. I murmured, squinting my eyes.

“… salute?”

“Ah, ah.”

I sighed inwardly. Is it okay to be so lax as a member of the government?

The black Sonata gradually moved out of sight.

“You go carefully too.”

I yawned and waved roughly at Shia.

The moment you turn around and start walking home.

-widely.

“… ?”

She grabbed the sleeve of my dress.

“Me, brother.”

“why?”

“… Perhaps.”

Shia looked at me with blue eyes.

“Can you take me with you?”

I looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“… Oh, sorry if you felt offended.”

“No, I’m not in a bad mood.”

I was kind of surprised.

This life is yet to get close to her.

But would you like me to take you?

“I wonder. why?”

“Mmm.”

Sia looked at me and was lost in thought.

“I’m scared.”

**

Sia said that she lives on her own.

My hometown is too far from here.

There was also a promise that I would definitely move out when I became a high school student.

“Aren’t you lonely living alone?”

“… I do sometimes, but living alone is more comfortable. The house is a little uncomfortable.”

“Are you uncomfortable?”

“Because it’s bad. with my family.”

Yushia was a little unusual.

SJ’s daughter. A person with overwhelming talent.

The guild’s asset was the Hunter. As an S-class, she was naturally wanted by all guilds.

But they had to give up. Since I was the daughter of the No. 1 company in the industry, going to SJ would have been the next step.

However, Sia did not go to SJ.

They became independent and created a new guild. And that guild later surpasses SJ.

‘It must have happened like this.’

It was the first time in my life that I realized this.

“That’s why I sometimes feel envious when I see Chaewon.”

“yes?”

Sia smiled slightly.

“You have a family like a family. We get along very well with each other.”

‘It’s a pity.’

I scratched my head, not knowing that such a secret existed.

Perhaps it was because her expression was pitiful, I spat it out without even realizing it.

“If you’re bored, come and play.”

“Yeah?”

“Either at the store or at home.”

“… Can I?”

“uh. I will cook for you when you come.”

“My brother’s cooking was delicious.”

“I’m glad.”

Sia smiled softly.

She stopped.

“Here. my house.”

It was a very large officetel. A few steps from the store.

Shia put her hands together and looked up at me.

“Thank you for taking me there.”

“… What’s scary?”

It was surprising that, as an A-class hunter, she was afraid of the night roads.

It will be in the next five years that she will become an S-class Hunter.

Hunter’s levels are cascading.

As you go up, the gap of one grade widens beyond imagination.

Excluding me, Yusia is the youngest S-class Hunter.

It was said that at the age of 22, he became S-rank, so even if he couldn’t do it now at 17, he was still A-rank.

‘I feel reassured because Chaewon is a strong friend.’

It was when I was looking at Sia happily.

-Artifact [Shadow of Shakron] is activated.

A transparent window popped up.

‘This.’

I looked into Shia’s eyes.

Her blue eyes were slightly dilated.

– User Yusia’s [Inside Gaebyeok] has been activated.

– Artifact [Shadow of Shakron] defended.

– Temporarily manipulate information. Do you allow it?

Inside the Gaebyeok of authority.

It was Yusia’s representative authority, and it was the reason she created a new guild and crossed SJ within three years.

The ability to sneak peek at the opponent’s status window.

And Shakron’s shadow was an artifact against all mental powers.

I said to myself, ‘I accept’.

[The inside of Gaebyeok is the power to call up the status window of the user Seonghoon Han.]

[Accordingly, Shadow of Shakron can mislead related information.]

[What fake information would you like to enter?]

He answered without the slightest hesitation.

‘Incompetent.’

[Shakron’s shadow makes the user Han Seong-hoon look ‘incompetent’.]

[…] Success.]

At the same time, Yusia opened her mouth.

“… Perhaps, the part-time student I saw earlier.”

“Oh, those people?”

“May I ask how you got into the part-time job?”

“I don’t know. He said he would come and work without pay.”

Yusia looked at me with an absurd look.

“Did you allow that?”

“why?”

“… No, he could be a dangerous person.”

“Sia. Where are people like that in the world these days?”

“… there is.”

“It would be like the Hunter world. A mediocre citizen like me can’t go through such a thing even if I want to.”

I yawned carefreely and waved my hand.

“It’s too late. Go in.”

‘Siaya. You’re not good enough for me yet.’

Of course, not in the future.

I couldn’t find out certain information, but it seems that I have reached the stage of doubting Hae Ridge.

Is a genius a genius? It was a good intuition.

But above the one who runs, there is one who flies, and that was me.

I coolly turned around and walked away. at that time.

“there… !”

Sia called me.

“yes?”

Sia said with an expression as if she was determined to do something.

“… Can we really go out to play?”

“hahahaha, you thought it was a joke? Then, of course not. Chaewon is your friend.”

“I will go often.”

“do not worry. I can afford to feed one high school girl in order.”

“Oh, no. Not that sound.”

“yes?”

Shia’s white face turned red.

She opened her mouth.

“I will protect you.”

“uh?”

After saying that, I walked in.

‘Cute.’

It was misleading enough words.

Fortunately, the circumstances were no, it only sounded cute.

“Still, it’s reassuring to hear that an A-class hunter is protecting you.”

I smiled and headed home.

Chaewon has to cook dinner.

**

“My brother is here… … . huh.”

-thud.

Chaewon jumped out like a puppy and went inside in a pout without saying hello.

‘Why did he do that again… ?’

It was absurd because he was my younger brother who always greeted me at the front door when I came.

I opened the door to Chaewon’s room and entered.

“Ahh! Come knock!”

Chaewon was lying on the bed with her head sticking out.

‘That thick expression… … ‘

As long as I had time with her, I could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

‘Why are you pouting?’

It was embarrassing. The raised mouth and raised eyebrows meant that Chaewon was pouting.

The problem is that the cause is completely unknown.

It’s because you’ve been taking good care of Chaewon ever since you came back.

“Hey. What’s wrong with your expression?”

“How is my expression?”

“No, thick… That, you seem very dissatisfied with something.”

“no it’s not? Are you okay?”

‘It’s a horn.’

He sighed and pulled out a chair and sat down.

“it’s not me.”

“… what?”

“It’s not me who stole your pudding. That’s probably you from last night. you won’t remember Why are you suspicious of the petty person?”

“… … .”

Chaewon kept her mouth shut for a while.

‘Isn’t this it?’

I wondered if I was mistaken, but no matter how much I thought about it, this was the only thing that would make Chaewon squirm.

It’s because it hasn’t been a day or two for Ji to doubt me after eating alone.

“… … go.”

“?”

Suddenly, Chaewon’s eyes darkened.

“Go.”

“Where are you going? This is my house.”

“Get out—! right now! In my room!!”

Chaewon mercilessly hit me with a pillow and pushed me.

“Ahh! It hurts bitch! Hunter beats a normal person!”

“It’s okay for me to hit you!”

-bang!

I was kicked out of Chaewon’s room helplessly.

I looked at the tightly closed door with absurd eyes.

‘… Is it that day?’

Seeing how sensitive it is, there is no doubt.
