Ending Maker Episode 455
SS #37 Kang Yu-jin (8)
“Oh, Dad!”
“I have a rough idea of what happened. So let’s just clean it up first.”
Yuder spoke in a calm but still cold voice, and Yuria flinched and shrugged her shoulders before nodding.
“Phew.”
A chimera lying on a tree with its head on it and clothes strewn around a campfire.
The floor was wet as if it had been hit by lightning.
This was enough.
It was easy for Yuder to know what happened without having to ask Yuria.
So, Yuder looked back at Yuria and shook his head at the sight of his daughter’s pursed lips.
‘You do resemble me.’
In many ways.
really.
‘Kang Yu-jin.’
Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee’s daughter.
A child of destiny who is connected to Yuria by fate.
A boy sitting tensely with his eyes blindfolded, his body slightly turned as if to protect Yuria, perhaps out of instinct or shallow calculation, and his right arm slightly raised.
“ha.”
It must be instinct.
Because he was Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee’s child.
Especially resembling Hong Yu-hee.
Yuder shook his head once more and lightly snapped his fingers to activate the magic.
Yuria was wearing a very modest green dress that covered her neck in an instant, and Eugene was wearing a beige training suit.
“Huh? Huh huh huh?”
Although Eugene couldn’t see ahead because he was wearing a blindfold, he could still sense that his clothes had suddenly changed.
When Eugene was flustered and blushed, Yuder moved his fingers again to take off the blindfold and clicked his tongue.
That’s because in the meantime, I saw Yuri holding Eugene’s hand and saying that it was okay.
‘It took us a really long time.’
Holding hands.
To be exact, we held hands quickly, but it took a long time for us to lock fingers.
‘Is this what it means to be young?’
It seemed closer to just being young rather than young.
Uder, whose head was in disarray due to the fact that his precious daughter had met the person of her destiny, sighed for what must have been the umpteenth time today before summoning a carriage pulled by the Phantom Steeds.
“Get on.”
When Yuder gestured to the carriage with his chin, Yuria opened her eyes wide in confusion.
That’s because he thought he would go straight back to space jumping.
But it’s a carriage.
Why does the carriage take so long?
“oh!”
When Yuria made a surprised expression as if she had realized something, Yuder’s expression crumpled, and Yuria smiled with a dark-but-at-the-same-times innocent smile and said silently.
‘Dad is the best.’
I’ll make time for just the two of us officially, so don’t run away. Got it?
If Maia and Dahlia had heard, they would have said, ‘Why did you do that to us?’ But that was that and this was this.
Yuria responded to Yuder’s gaze with a pretty smile, and Yuder knew better than anyone that her answer was neither yes nor no, but instead of saying anything more, he climbed onto the carriage – or rather, onto the coachman’s seat.
“Brother, get on quickly.”
“Yeah.”
Eugene, who was climbing onto the carriage under Yuria’s guidance, still had a confused expression on his face.
Not only is the situation one way, but for Eugene, an Earthling, a carriage suddenly appearing or a flying carriage would be a novelty in itself.
No matter how much I saw it in a game and knew in my head that something like this existed in real life, the feeling when I actually saw it with my own eyes was different.
“let’s go.”
When Yuder confirmed that Eugene and Yuria had climbed onto the carriage and were sitting side by side, he frowned again but didn’t say anything.
Because I didn’t want to become an old fart.
‘No, to be exact, is it because you don’t want Yuria to call you an old fart?’
It seemed like Yuder knew why Lucas had been frustrated when Vivian called him an old fart not long ago.
‘Anyway, let’s go.’
Eugene and Yuria are smiling shyly while holding each other’s hands tightly.
The appearance of two people who look exactly like someone from over ten years ago.
‘I need to treat Maia and Dahlia better.’
After making a new resolution, Uther set out with the Phantom Steeds.
* * *
“See you tomorrow, oppa. Okay?”
“Yeah, definitely tomorrow.”
Eugene reflexively responded to Yuriah’s words while holding her hands tightly, but at the same time, he really made up his mind.
Because he felt Yuder’s gaze glaring at him from the side.
Of course, Eugene didn’t notice Cordelia’s gaze, which was telling him to keep quiet, and Kang Jin-ho’s gaze, which was somehow laughing.
“Whew… … I really regret it. Do you feel the same way, Oppa?”
“Yeah, me too. Really.”
If Vivian had heard, she would have shouted, ‘Hey, you guys are staying in the same mansion! It’s just a different room!’ But unfortunately, not only was she not there, she was also too busy putting her siblings to sleep.
The Hresvelg Counts’ house was a place where nine siblings would sleep together on an incredibly large bed, but it was always a chaotic sleep as they would fight over who would sleep next to Vivian.
In any case, regardless of the circumstances of Count Hresvelg’s family, the adults began to intervene in the farewell conversation between Eugene and Yuria that continued on and on.
To be exact, at the same time that Kang Jin-ho stopped Yuder from grabbing the back of Eugene’s neck and pulling him, Cordelia placed her hand on Yuria’s shoulder, and Hong Yu-hee also placed her hand on Eugene’s shoulder.
Now go to sleep.
Please tell me in detail what happened today.
Eugene and Yuria both blushed at the sight of Cordelia and Hong Yu-hee, and Yuder sighed again at the sight.
Kang Jin-ho smiled happily this time too.
And that night.
While Yuria and Regina were staying up all night talking about each other’s destined ones, Eugene was also staying up all night.
It was because of the fateful meeting with Yuria that happened today, but it was also because of the words that Yuder had said directly to my mind right before we parted ways.
-Tomorrow morning, you and I will go see my father. Just so you know.
Yuder’s father, who is Yuria’s father.
That is, the Count of Chase.
The true final boss of the wife’s family(?).
‘It’s okay, don’t be scared.’
If it’s for Yuria.
Eugene clenched his fists and strengthened his resolve, and once again he thought of Yuriah’s face wearing the rabbit headband.
* * *
The next morning.
Eugene barely slept last night, but today was not a day he could afford to sleep in.
Eugene woke up like lightning, washed up, had breakfast, and got all dolled up with Natasha’s help.
“Aunt, thank you always.”
“Okay, if you don’t like it, you can just marry my aunt, so don’t be so nervous. Okay?”
“huh!”
Eugene smiled brightly and answered Natasha, who was waving a contract that she didn’t know she had brought back, and waited for Yuder’s visit with Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee.
“Are you ready?”
Eugene suddenly stood up from his seat and answered Yuder’s question, which appeared with Maya, like a soldier being asked to give his rank and name.
“Ready!”
“Tsk, okay. Then let’s go.”
Anyway, the group was staying in the same mansion.
Count Chase was also staying at the same mansion, so it would only take a few minutes’ walk to get there.
Uther took the lead and Maia followed.
Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee did not go together, but they cheered Yu-jin on by patting her on the shoulder, and Yu-jin took a deep breath before taking a step forward.
Just keep going, step by step.
How long has it been since we started walking in silence?
“Don’t be so nervous. Count Chase is a good man. Just like our young master.”
When Maia turned to Eugene and spoke in a calm voice, Eugene nodded, blushing without realizing it.
Because Maya was so pretty.
‘But the prettiest one is Yuriah.’
As if reading Eugene’s thoughts, Maia covered her mouth with her hand and laughed heartily, and Yuder furrowed his brow again.
‘Maya, are you having fun right now?’
‘I just had some old memories.’
If Eugene had Natasha, Yuria had Maia.
Maia, who had heard from Yuria several times what had happened yesterday, smiled again as if she was truly happy, and Yuder sighed deeply as he realized once again what karma was.
And then another few minutes.
The one who greeted the party upon arrival in front of the large room of the main building where Count Chase was staying was Dahlia.
“They are waiting inside.”
Maia stood still with a faint smile on her face at Dahlia’s words, who had been guarding the door with a stern expression like a knight, while Yuder spoke to Eugene with a still displeased expression.
“Let’s go in.”
“yes!”
Eugene answered with a very tense face and swallowed dry saliva for what may have been the umpteenth time today.
Maia and Dahlia exchanged glances and then laughed quietly.
And finally, the entrance.
“Father, I brought him.”
At Yuder’s soft voice, the huge man standing by the window slowly turned around.
Arthur Chase.
The Count of Chase.
The Angel of the Red Storm, said to be the strongest among the angels of the Cordelia Order.
Although he was clearly a wizard, he had a larger and stronger body than most warriors.
A large, muscular body with shoulders that are two meters tall and strong muscles that look like they were trained in combat.
“Ugh, you’re late.”
It was a voice that seemed to have a slight coldness to it despite its strictness.
Instead of giving him a specific answer, Uther quietly pushed Eugene’s back, and Eugene tried to control his breathing before approaching Count Chase.
“This is Kang Yu-jin.”
I bowed and revealed my name according to the etiquette I had practiced diligently before coming to the Pleiades.
But instead of answering right away, Count Chase just looked down at Eugene.
It’s almost like they’re grading it.
“This is Count Chase.”
Eugene gave an example and it took about a minute.
Count Chase, speaking heavily, gestured to a chair with his chin, and Eugene sat down in the chair with a stiff face and stiff steps.
And then back to Count Chase and Uther.
Count Chase took his seat opposite Eugene, and instead of sitting down, Uther stood behind Eugene.
Thus, the siege of Count Chase and Uder was completed.
Eugene felt like he was suffocating from the pressure pouring down from both sides, but he gritted his teeth and focused his mind.
And then another few seconds.
When what seemed like an eternity had passed.
“I heard the story yesterday. Yuria jumped while holding you?”
“That… … Yes. That’s right.”
“Tch, you loser.”
Eugene gritted his teeth at the look in Count Chase’s eyes and voice.
It was embarrassing not only because I had hugged Yuria but also because Count Chase’s reaction was so cold.
It’s over.
It was doomed from the start.
But that was just then.
“It’s a fruit that strengthens your strength. The only people around me are those who are already overflowing with strength, or rather, are just running out of it, so it’s useless. Take it.”
What is this all of a sudden?
Eugene blinked and instinctively accepted the small box that Count Chase offered. He swallowed hard at Count Chase’s gaze that told him to open it right away, and then opened the box.
‘Hee, the fruit of strength!’
It was my first time seeing it in person, but it was an item I had seen dozens of times in games.
A fruit that, as its name suggests, slightly and permanently increases the strength of the person who eats it!
“And when the chimera appeared, it was Yuria who protected you?”
Count Chase spoke again in a cold, stern voice, but Eugene did not panic as much as before.
This is because, apart from feeling embarrassed at having protected Yuria rather than protecting her, I also felt a strange sense of anticipation.
“What a sly fellow. He reminds me of someone from the old days.”
Count Chase clicked his tongue and held out another small box, and Eugene took it with eyes filled with anticipation.
And Yuder.
The original son-in-law who knows everything that will happen in the future.
‘Father… … .’
He covered his face with both hands.
