Episode 100.
Ding-dong.
-Brother! We’re here!
Kim Yi-jun’s voice was heard along with the sound of the doorbell.
It seemed like the first guests were So-eun and Kim Yi-jun.
just as expected.
Click.
“braided!”
As I opened the front door, Soeun appeared in front of me as if to surprise me.
Of course, it couldn’t surprise the sharp sense of SS.
Next to So-eun, Kim Yi-jun shook his head as if he couldn’t stop her.
Kim Yi-jun was holding something in his hands.
“Why did you bring all that stuff here?”
“It’s a housewarming party, so what if you come empty-handed?”
The answer came from Soeun.
It looks like it’s a housewarming gift.
“You can just come, but please come inside first.”
Siwoo guided the two into the house.
“Wow, is this really the house that Siwoo built himself?”
Soeun opened her eyes wide at the scenery inside the house.
Kim Yi-jun also looked around as if he was curious.
“But brother, I don’t know if we’re late.”
“No, it’s just in time.”
“That’s good. I thought we might be late because you keep procrastinating.”
“Why did I procrastinate?”
“I’m going to Siwoo’s house, and I’m going to dress up like a newlywed and make a big fuss─.”
“When did I, when did I do that!!”
So-eun was startled and shouted.
He covered Kim Yi-jun’s mouth with a slightly flushed face.
But what can a frail woman do to an awakened person?
Kim Yi-jun lightly avoided So-eun’s hand and said.
“In that sense, brother. How is our sister doing today? She looks as pretty as a newlywed─.”
“hey!”
Phew.
“Ugh!”
In the end, it was Kim Lee-jun who finally shut his mouth after getting hit once.
Siwoo burst into laughter at the sight of the two.
Because they seemed to be on good terms even though they were bickering.
“Don’t pay attention to what Lee Jun says. He’s not in his right mind.”
“Sister, you’re treating your little brother like he’s crazy for no reason, just because you’re embarrassed─.”
“Why don’t you be quiet?”
Phew!
“100 million!”
To be exact, I thought that real siblings were real siblings.
I was smiling at the sight of the two of them like that.
“hello.”
Seo-ah came out quietly from inside.
A picture of Seo-ah wearing an apron.
“Huh?”
Soeun looked surprised first.
Kim Yi-jun also looked at Seo-ah with a blank expression.
A moment of silence.
“Oppa Siwoo, my sister. My name is Seoah. Nice to meet you.”
Seo-ah bowed and said hello.
“Little brother…? Are you Siwoo’s little brother?”
“yes.”
Seo-ah nodded.
Only then did So-eun answer with a smile.
“Nice to meet you! My name is Kim So-eun. Si-woo and I─”
“nice to see you!”
At that moment, Kim Yi-jun interrupted So-eun and took a step forward.
“I am Kim Lee-jun, who assists Si-woo hyung most closely!”
“Yes? Oh, yes… Nice to meet you too.”
Seo-ah was a little embarrassed, but she nodded and said hello.
And why is that?
Kim Yi-jun’s face became blank.
For a moment, I wondered why he was suddenly acting like that.
Squeak.
Heukdol’s voice was heard from behind Seoah.
“puppy?”
As So-eun tilted her head, Heuk-dol slowly crawled out.
Are people other than Siwoo and Seoah still unfamiliar and scary?
Heukdol hid his body behind Seo-ah’s legs and watched her closely.
Could it be because of that black stone’s appearance?
“Wow! So cute!”
So-eun approached Heuk-dol, not knowing what to do.
But suddenly─!
Heukdol ran away, avoiding Soeun’s touch.
also.
Heukdol still seemed scared of everyone except Seo-ah and Si-woo.
If you think about it, Heukdol was like that when he first met Seo-ah.
“ah….”
So-eun was extremely disappointed and discouraged.
But that was only for a moment.
So-eun showed her lively expression again as if nothing had happened.
“More than that, Mr. Siwoo. I heard that the old man can’t come. I think he’s too busy with the work he’s submitting to the seminar.”
“I did get in touch, though.”
I had already received a call from Seo Pal-gwang.
He said he was sorry and that he couldn’t go to the housewarming party.
And I’ve been hearing talk about seminars since last time.
“I guess the seminar is a very important thing.”
“You can think of it as a place where blacksmiths from all over the world can interact. But it’s just a place for interaction. In reality, it’s the world’s most prestigious blacksmith competition? A seminar? You can think of it as something like that. There are prizes for winning, too.”
“What’s the prize?”
“Yes. It changes every time, but this time, Master Aurelian himself said he would give out the winning prize. So, the old man is determined to show off the skills he learned from Siwoo.”
“What did I tell you?”
“What are you talking about? Are you saying that the quality of equipment has improved tremendously since you learned from Siwoo?”
“is that so?”
Siwoo just smiled awkwardly.
And right then.
Tiring!
A warning notification window appeared on the smartphone screen.
“wait a minute.”
Siwoo walked towards the front door.
And click.
“Is Ayun here?”
“What, what is it?”
When I opened the front door, Ayun looked startled and surprised.
Jeong Ah-yoon, the daughter of the landlady and a high school student of the same age as Seo-ah.
“How did you know I was coming?”
Ayoon opened her large, round eyes.
Siwoo smiled slightly and said.
“But you came alone? Where’s your mother?”
“Huh? Oh, Mom said she couldn’t come because she had something to do. That’s why I came alone.”
“Really? Come inside first.”
Siwoo guided Ayoon into the house.
and.
“Huh? Ayun?”
Seo-ah was the first to welcome Ayoon.
“Hello, Seo-ah. It’s been a while.”
“It’s been a really long time! How have you been?”
“I’ve been doing well. What about you, Seo-ah?”
“I’ve been well too. How long has it really been? It feels like it’s been over a year.”
“Not up to a year, but about 8 months? But… .”
Ayoon looked blankly at Seoah.
“Seo-ah, you’ve really improved a lot.”
“okay?”
“His complexion is rosy, and his skin is firm. He was almost dead eight months ago. And….”
Ayoon sniffed, sniffing like a puppy.
And then he looked at Seo-ah wearing an apron.
“Did you cook too?”
“Yeah. Do you want to come and try it?”
“It’s totally great!”
Ayun started walking quickly, her face brightening.
Ayun, who has been coming to my house to play from time to time.
Because of that, Ayoon knew how delicious Seoah’s cooking was.
So Seo-ah went into the kitchen with Ayoon.
and.
“ah….”
Kim Yi-jun was extremely disappointed and discouraged.
So-eun asked behind Kim Yi-jun.
“Who was that just now?”
“My name is Ayun. I am the daughter of the owner of this house.”
“ah….”
Soeun nodded slightly.
“But Mr. Siwoo. Did you invite all the housewarming guests on the same day?”
“Uh… yes. That’s true.”
Then is that not possible?
This is my first time hosting a housewarming party, so I need to know what’s going on.
“Is that not okay?”
“No, it’s not that it’s not possible… .”
So-eun looked embarrassed as to what to say about this.
Right then.
Tiring!
A notification window popped up saying that another guest had arrived.
Siwoo briefly asked Soeun for understanding and then approached the front door.
And click.
“Huh, huh?!”
As I opened the front door, Deokgu showed a look of shock on his face.
Deokgu, editor of the Seongnam Channel.
“Is Deokgu here?”
“Ah, ah, hello!!”
Deokgu nodded and lowered his head.
Two children were standing blankly next to Deokgu.
A boy and a girl less than 1 meter tall.
“Guys, I need to say hello.”
“hello!”
“Hello!”
At Deokgu’s words, the two children bowed and greeted Siwoo.
It looked like they were Deokgu’s two younger siblings.
Siwoo smiled slightly and guided Deokgu and his younger siblings into the house.
“Wow!”
“The house is really steered!”
The two younger brothers burst into cheers as they entered the house.
“Sister Deokgu! Can’t we live in a house like this too?”
“Yes?”
Then Deokgu looked very embarrassed.
At Deokgu’s appearance, one of the younger sisters spoke as if scolding him.
“Do you know how much a house like this costs? Tell Deokgu Unnie that.”
“Huh? How much is it?”
“Would you mind a million won?”
“A million won?! For a million won, you can get one chicken, two chickens… Eek!”
The boy looked very frightened and surprised.
After a while, he looked at Siwoo with very respectful eyes.
“Brother, are you rich?”
“You, you, what are you talking about?”
Then Deokgu hurriedly covered the boy’s mouth.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry..! My little brother is young and doesn’t know anything yet…”
And then he kept bowing his head towards Siwoo.
Siwoo waved his hand as if it was okay, with a smile that came out for no reason.
‘I think almost everyone who was supposed to come has arrived now.’
Mr. Seo Pal-gwang said he couldn’t come.
My mother also said she couldn’t come because she had something to do.
The remaining people are Han Chae-rin and Han Min-ah.
And Lee Min-jung remained.
But whatever.
‘He won’t come, right?’
Those three were unlikely to come.
What about Han Chae-rin and Han Min-ah?
It was obvious that there would be no time.
The SH Group’s owner family.
If it were the President’s housewarming, I wouldn’t know.
There’s no way I’ll be able to attend Siwoo’s housewarming party.
‘What about Lee Min-jung?’
It is natural for the inspection country to be busy.
Above all, it was ambiguous to say that Lee Min-jung and Si-woo were that close.
“It looks like everyone is here, so let’s go inside.”
Siwoo and Deokgu and their two younger brothers.
And he guided So-eun and Kim Yi-jun inside.
“You haven’t bought any household goods yet?”
“Oh, yes. It hasn’t been that long since we built the house… Actually, I don’t know what to buy. I just made a table and chairs in a hurry.”
“Made… it? Mr. Siwoo?”
“yes.”
Siwoo took out the chairs he had made.
And right then.
Tiring!
“…hmm?”
The smartphone notification window popped up again.
For a moment I thought, “What is this?”
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang throughout the house.
“Didn’t you say they all arrived?”
“I guess so?”
Siwoo went out to the front door and opened it.
Click.
“uh?”
A familiar woman was standing in front of the opened front door.
A ponytail tied tightly at the back.
A beauty with a cold, almost ruthless appearance.
“Ms. Lee Min-jung?”
The inspector general, Lee Min-jeong.
She was standing at the front door.
“Why is Lee Min-jung here?”
“I came because you invited me.”
Lee Min-jung continued speaking, tilting her head slightly.
“Did you by any chance invite the wrong person?”
“No. That’s not what I meant. Well… Please come in.”
Lee Min-jung bowed her head as if she was grateful and came into the house.
Siwoo quietly looked at Lee Minjung’s back.
Then a thought suddenly occurred to me.
Surely Han Chae-rin and Han Min-ah won’t come too?
Tiring!
“……”
Siwoo’s mind went blank for a moment.
* * *
There was so much food on the table that it seemed like the table legs would bend.
Just looking at the food, steaming hot and steamy, made my mouth water.
But why is that?
“……”
“……”
“……”
No one touched the food.
An awkward atmosphere flowed.
A house that has not yet been furnished.
Maybe that’s why there was a cold atmosphere.
Siwoo slowly looked over the people gathered there.
Soeun Mulsan CEO, Kim Soeun.
Kim Yi-jun, So-eun’s younger brother and an A+ rank Awakener.
Seongnam Channel Editor, Deokgu.
Deokgu’s two younger brothers.
The landlady’s daughter, Jeong A-yoon.
The inspector general, Lee Min-jeong.
finally.
‘I didn’t know Han Chae-rin would come…’
SH Group’s granddaughter, Han Chae-rin.
Of course, it was Siwoo who invited me.
It was nothing more than an invitation out of courtesy.
Fortunately(?), Han Min-ah didn’t come.
It was a natural thing.
Why is the owner of SH Group coming?
The fact that Han Chae-rin came was nonsense from the start.
Maybe that’s why.
People were watching Han Chae-rin’s expression.
This was especially true for Soeun.
Soeun Trading Company, a subcontractor of SH Group.
It was impossible not to notice.
I don’t know if you know that kind of atmosphere or not.
Han Chae-rin sat quietly.
She sat carefully like a daughter from a noble family.
But Han Chae-rin’s atmosphere was a bit cold.
A chunk of ice.
A robot without any emotions.
The atmosphere became even more awkward.
And next to Han Chae-rin.
Lee Min-jung sat silently.
Han Chae-rin’s coldness.
Lee Min-jung’s coldness.
The atmosphere was beyond awkward; it was downright cold.
Seriously.
“……”
“……”
“……”
It was a suffocating housewarming.
* * *
“There’s someone inside?”
Jo Buk-cheon furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Pandemonium’s fracture-level executive, Cho Buk-cheon.
“Are there other people in Maeng Si-woo’s house?”
“That’s right.”
“who?”
“So far so good… .”
“under.”
Cho Buk-cheon let out a hollow laugh.
It certainly seemed that Maeng Si-woo did not know what his own situation was.
“I feel like things might get worse… What should we do?”
“What should I do? What should I do?”
Cho Buk-cheon snapped back as if asking why he was asking such a thing.
Since when did Pandemonium care about that?
Not only murder, but also torture, rape, and kidnapping.
Committing creative criminal acts without hesitation.
And yet, these people don’t feel even a shred of guilt.
Pandemonium is the top group among such criminals.
“Kill them all.”
The laughter of Cho Buk-cheon, which was made with a bitter taste, resembled that of a snake.
