Episode 93.
This time, Siwoo’s head tilted.
“Yes? Are you talking about your aunt?”
“Yes. But… the word aunt. It sounds better than I thought.”
Han Min-ah smiled brightly, as if she was really happy.
“Okay, I feel like it. I’ll pay for everything, including the expenses.”
“Huh?!”
Siwoo screamed in surprise.
That’s understandable, as the construction materials Siwoo needs are high-grade monster byproducts.
It was difficult to even get it.
It was a situation where So-eun was also having a hard time saving him.
Above all, it didn’t cost a single penny or two.
The rough estimate alone is a whopping 3 billion.
Of course, money is nothing to the SH Group.
To be exact, it’s an amount that wouldn’t even be considered money… .
No matter what, it’s like that.
“Why did your aunt do that…?”
“Well, this is the new house you and Chaerin will live in, right?”
“…yes?”
“Oh my. Did I go too far?”
Han Min-ah covered her mouth with one hand and smiled.
“Anyway. I’ll take care of that part. Now that we’re on the subject, I guess we should take care of it right now. The sooner the better, right? Then, get some rest. If you need any help with anything else…”
Han Min-ah picked up a piece of paper and pen placed on one side of the hospital room and wrote something.
An 11-digit number starting with 010.
“This is my number. I would like to give you my business card, but the owner of SH Group is in charge of many affiliates, so he doesn’t make separate business cards. In fact, it’s to avoid responsibility under commercial law.”
Han Min-ah showed a slight smile.
“Anyway, this is a hotline that connects directly to me, so if you need any help, please contact me.”
And then, whoosh, Han Min-ah left the hospital room.
He left without giving me a chance to explain.
Siwoo stared blankly at the paper in his hand.
Han Min-ah’s number.
It was a hotline that could connect directly with the owner of SH Group.
How much is this number worth?
Even if you were not good at it, hundreds of millions would be the minimum.
No, by the way.
“This is the new house you’re living in with Han Chae-rin?”
That doesn’t even make sense─?
“Oh, really?”
At that moment, a thought flashed through Siwoo’s mind.
None other than just now.
The question of whether he is meeting Han Chae-rin.
“no way….”
Did you mean to say that meeting was dating?
“uh….”
It seemed like there had been a huge misunderstanding.
It seemed to me that I was making a serious mistake, beyond a misunderstanding.
But by the time it was time to correct that, Han Min-ah had already disappeared.
* * *
In the end, the misunderstanding could not be resolved.
There was no way to resolve the misunderstanding, and I didn’t even know how to resolve it.
Actually, I confess.
“Can we get the construction materials and clear up any misunderstanding?”
I had that thought just a little bit.
Not much, really just a little.
No, wasn’t it Han Min-ah who misunderstood from the beginning?
And even if Siwoo doesn’t step forward, it will naturally become clear that it was a misunderstanding.
‘Hey, I don’t know.’
Siwoo didn’t really care.
So, now.
SH Hospital’s park.
Siwoo was sitting on a park bench with Seoah.
Black Rock was running around in the grass in the park.
I was running around, chasing butterflies.
Heukdol was currently staying in the same hospital room as Seoah.
Of course, pets were not allowed in the hospital room.
But whatever.
Everything went smoothly thanks to Han Min-ah’s one word.
A transcendent being who reigns above law and order.
The hospital’s rules and such changed at her words.
No, Han Min-ah’s words were the hospital’s rules.
However, this does not mean that any harm was done to other patients.
No matter what, I couldn’t harm other patients.
However, the place where Seo-ah is hospitalized is a special ward.
It was entirely possible, as no other patients were harmed.
Is that why?
‘The hospital director gets scared just by looking at me.’
It was beyond terrifying, it almost looked like a blackout.
He went beyond the level of barefoot and ran barefoot.
Well, if you think about it, it couldn’t be helped.
Following Han Chae-rin, now it’s Han Min-ah.
Since there are two blood relatives of the owner’s family, they treat Siwoo specially.
Thanks to that, both Siwoo and Seoah were able to stay comfortably at SH Hospital.
And all of that for free.
‘Thanks to you, Seo-ah is okay now.’
Seo-ah, who was said to have been written down together with Si-woo.
Is it because I received the special care in the special room?
Seo-ah didn’t seem to be at all abnormal.
I took a quick look with the divine medicine (S+), but as expected, there was no problem.
The situation was resolved without any major problems.
But why is that?
“……”
Siwoo was extremely awkward.
For some reason, Seo-ah didn’t say anything.
Of course, it didn’t look much different than usual.
But today, Siwoo felt very awkward.
‘What should I explain to Seo-ah…?’
Of course, as Lee Min-jung said.
Seo-ah said she knew everything.
So, Siwoo lives the life of a hunter.
And that it has some power.
It seemed to Siwoo that Seoah knew.
But I pretended not to know and just let it go.
Siwoo didn’t really give an explanation either.
But this time, I just couldn’t do it.
Didn’t Seo-ah see it with her own two eyes?
At least some kind of explanation had to be given.
How should I explain this?
No, where should I start explaining?
At that time, I was lost in various worries.
Rustle.
I felt a presence behind me.
“excuse me….”
And then I heard an unfamiliar voice.
Are you calling me?
Siwoo turned his head, feeling doubtful.
and.
“you are…?”
I could see a familiar face.
None other than the middle-aged man I saw in the ossuary.
It was the man whom Siwoo had risked his life to save.
The man approached Siwoo with an awkward expression.
Siwoo smiled and got up from his seat.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m fine. The hospital said there was nothing wrong.”
“Fortunately, the.”
Siwoo nodded happily.
I was a little skeptical, but it was really fortunate.
Right then.
“Dad, who is this guy?”
Another voice came from behind the man.
A height that doesn’t even reach a man’s knees.
She was a girl whose teeth had not yet grown properly.
The man spoke to the child.
“He is the one who saved my father’s life.”
“This guy?”
The child tilted his head.
He looked at Siwoo with an expression full of questions.
And soon.
“Thank you, sir, for saving my father!”
He nodded and lowered his head towards Siwoo.
A pure, unsullied appearance.
Siwoo couldn’t help but laugh.
More like an old man.
Not to that extent yet.
“Not uncle, but oppa─.”
“Oh! It’s a puppy!”
The child ignored Siwoo’s words and ran past him.
“Puppy! Come play with me!”
For a moment, the black stone suddenly stopped moving.
He tilted his head and looked at the child.
That look is like, ‘Are you going to play with me? Really?’
It seemed like he was asking that.
“I’m Javabara!”
Soon the child moved his short legs and ran away.
Instead of chasing the butterfly, Black Rock started chasing the child.
Gyarrr, the sound of children’s laughter spread throughout the park.
“The child’s mother went far away while giving birth to her daughter.”
And then I heard the man’s words.
The man was looking at the child playing with the black stone.
Siwoo didn’t say much.
The reason why a man was in the charnel house even though it was just his daughter’s birthday.
I just understood the reason.
“If I had died there… .”
If that had happened, the child would have lost both his parents.
At the same time, it is his mom and dad’s birthday.
It must have been the due date for both of them.
“Honestly, I don’t know how to express my gratitude.”
The man looked like he was bowing his head.
A nod down to the lowered head.
Something transparent fell.
Siwoo turned his gaze and looked up at the sky.
A sunny day without a cloud in sight.
Thud. Thud.
For some reason, raindrops continued to fall.
“Thank you so much for saving my daughter’s life… Really, really thank you.”
The man did not say it was his life.
My daughter’s life.
Siwoo just smiled in response, not knowing what those words meant.
And so time passed.
“Hey puppy! See you next time!”
The man and the child left.
Heukdol couldn’t take his eyes off the child leaving, as if he was feeling quite sorry.
Heukdol didn’t take his eyes off the two people until they were completely out of sight.
And just like that, the two people completely disappeared.
Squeak─.
Heukdol had a gloomy expression on his face, as if he was really upset.
It seemed like it was quite fun running around with the kids.
When I looked, it seemed like he was just running around.
What was so funny about that?
Siwoo stroked Heukdol’s head roughly.
That moment.
“brother.”
Seo-ah suddenly spoke to me.
The place I looked at.
Seo-ah was sitting on a bench and looking up at the sky.
“I had that dream last night. The dream where my mother died.”
“……”
“Usually in my dreams, my mother’s face looked really sad. She had something to say to us, but she looked really sad because she couldn’t say it.”
Seo-ah looked down.
And then he slowly turned his head and looked at Siwoo.
“But not this time? He said thank you. When I asked him what he was thankful for, he just said thank you.”
“……”
“I guess you’re not planning on coming anymore, Mom.”
Seo-ah turned her gaze again and looked straight ahead.
Seo-ah remained silent, as if recalling something.
Siwoo sat down next to Seoah and said.
“Mom is really bad too. But she still comes to visit me sometimes.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
And you left me there first.
Seo-ah muttered, her lips pursed.
“But it’s okay. It’s a shame, but it’s okay now.”
Seo-ah slowly turned her head and looked at Si-woo.
Siwoo also looked at Seoah like that.
A gaze that faces each other.
“You have an older brother.”
Hehe.
Seo-ah smiled bashfully.
At the same time, wal!
Black Rock came to Seo-ah’s arms, wagging his tail.
That look seemed to be saying, ‘Me? Me?’
“We have our Black Stone too!”
Seo-ah hugged Heuk-dol and smiled bashfully once again.
Siwoo looked at Seoah and Heukdol quietly.
A blue sky without a single cloud.
Why is that?
I have a feeling that Seo-ah’s birthday next year will be a little different.
* * *
Siwoo was lying alone on the bed in the special room.
Actually, originally, I couldn’t just lie down like this.
I had to get discharged immediately and go do a dungeon raid.
Because I needed to farm the materials needed to build a house as quickly as possible.
But whatever.
“Because Aunt Han Chae-rin said she would save me.”
There is no need for that anymore.
Of course, it was a misunderstanding, but anyway.
All the necessary construction materials were practically farmed.
“I have to keep an eye on the A-class hunters.”
That doesn’t mean I won’t do dungeon raids.
Even if you don’t have building materials, you absolutely have to do dungeon raids.
Because I had to earn money.
The amount spent on membership subscription fees is 3.1 billion won per month.
There’s even a black stone for the price of food.
Although Han Chae-rin was receiving 10 billion won every month in pension, she had to earn money steadily.
So I’m going to farm the materials needed to make equipment.
Also equipment that Siwoo will use.
In order to farm those materials, you need an A-class hunter for many reasons.
“I can’t give up the YouTube angle.”
Already over 100,000 subscribers.
This growth could never be given up.
“More than anything, I can take care of Seo-ah’s illness.”
Premium benefits available in the special room.
At first glance, I heard that the daily usage fee amounts to tens of millions of won.
A crazy amount of money, almost 100 million won, for a one-week hospital stay.
But this is also something.
“Because it’s free.”
Han Chae-rin’s aunt, Han Min-ah, was giving it to her.
So, why is there a need to rush to discharge?
So Si-woo was lying on the bed in the special room that smelled of money.
But that didn’t mean I was just going to rest.
Siwoo lay on the bed, lost in thought.
This is what happened in this columbarium.
“It might have been possible if we had moved a little faster.”
Then, we could have saved enough men.
There was no need to endure the dungeon explosion with my whole body.
It would have been possible to get the man into the ossuary in time.
Of course, it was clear that time was absolutely pressing.
But if you ask, was it really impossible? Well.
So what if it was Hercules?
It was entirely possible.
“That gentleman would have destroyed the explosion itself.”
Siwoo let out a chuckle without realizing it.
anyway.
It seemed like it would have been possible even for S-class hunters, not just Hercules.
That’s why I have this thought.
“Can’t we learn movements separately?”
This is also called the method of walking.
Footwork refers to the movement of the feet when performing techniques such as fighting or swordsmanship.
But it wasn’t just limited to feet.
It is also called Shinbeop (身法) because it encompasses the movements of the entire body.
“It’s also in the Hercules martial arts.”
Is it because it is, after all, a divine fighting technique?
Matters related to walking technique were not dealt with in any significant way.
Of course, that alone was by no means ordinary.
But, as expected, it wasn’t specialized in movement.
And in Godtube, there would be prominent gods with special characteristics of movement.
There may also be a free subscription available.
“If I could learn those movements….”
It wasn’t just this incident.
In addition to clearing dungeons, it would also be of great help in improving Siwoo’s skills.
“hmm….”
Deepening worries.
But the answer did not come easily.
This is the case.
“I’ll have to ask Hercules.”
Siwoo took out Godtube’s smartphone.
