The Returner

1. Why is it hot? (4)

“You maniac! ”

Stefan was unable to resist spilling profanity.

“I told you it was as important as that, but the man who put you in charge couldn't solve the situation, so you drove him into a mule? ”

“It's not that... …. ”

“You'd better watch out when you make fun of that mouth. Or I'll make sure that the bullet in your mouth stops in your cervical spine, or you'll go right through it! ”

“ ……. ”

Stefan lowers his head, speechless.

‘Crazy bastard.’

Lee Hyuk's way of thinking surpassed his imagination.

A sane person can't move like this.

“But common sense is……. ”

“Common sense? Common sense? ”

Christopher grabs the ashtray and throws it to Stefan.

How the ashtrays thrown by ordinary people threaten their abilities.

But that was even more problematic.

Stefan sees a slow-motion ashtray and decides whether to avoid it.

I wanted to welcome you because it wouldn't hurt at all, but seeing the cigars filled with ashtrays, I didn't want to get hit.

Finally, Stefan turns around and dodges the ashtray, checking Christopher's attention.

“Hnng... ”

But Christopher didn't seem interested in whether Stefan had been hit by ashtrays or not.

Christopher, who cut the end of the harsh poem and lit the fire, emits a long smoke.

“How do I do this? ”

I thought the binary was at least a month later....

It was a waste of time, so I was making a binary quickly, but it was not comparable to the binary I had chosen and sent.

“Why! Why did you do that?" Why? ”

“I was just trying to have a fight. ”

“Sometimes a man fights with a lion! ”

“But we were many. And then there's the difference in power. I still don't understand why you call it silence. ”

“Don't you get it? ”

“I know he's strong. But it's not stronger than the United States. Am I wrong? ”

Christopher stares at Stefan without saying anything and opens his mouth.

“You must be mistaken.... ”

“Yes?”

“Are you American? ”

“ ……. ”

“It's a good thing to identify yourself with your country. When I serve my country like you do. But it would be a mistake to think that the state would take care of everything you've done. ”

The lower Christopher's voice goes, the lower it goes.

“You crossed the line this time. ”

“Director!"

“Who would want to learn from Lee Hyuk positively in expressing your outright hostility? In the end, thanks to your arbitrary actions, 300 talents have lost the chance to further their development. How do you plan on taking responsibility for this? ”

“I just……. ”

Christopher's eyes began to grow.

“I admit I own half of it. At least I thought you were a light-headed man. But I didn't, and it's my fault for not seeing the right person. If not, then I've been too tired lately. I haven't explained myself enough to you. ”

You say you are at fault, but the content is merely Stefan's fault.

“Sir, I am unfair. ”

“It must be unfair. It's strange. People who come out of this room and have conversations like this, they always say the last thing. ”

One last time!

Cold sweat starts to flow from Stefan's back.

The last word meant that they would never see each other again.

As before, we may not have to arrest and kill people because we are opposed to grief, but that means we will never be able to stand here as powers again.

“No, I'll make it up to you. ”

“No, you don't have to. You'd better think about what to lose, not what to make up for. I'd like to hand it over to the military trial, but things are gonna get complicated, so just go to jail for now. Treat it and then decide. ”

“Director!"

“Stop. Bring it on. ”

As soon as the words drop, the door opens, and the men in black suits grab Stefan's arms.

“Sir! Sir, I... ”

“Let's get rid of the cliché Sequins. Clean is good. Clean is good. ”

Christopher turns his eyes away, and Stefan is dragged out screaming.

“Damn it.”

I wanted to put a bullet in his head because I was angry… but it's not the '70s, and Christopher won't be safe if he does that.

“How much damage has it done? ”

I didn't even get a good estimate.

First and foremost, 300 talents were deprived of the opportunity to upgrade their abilities.

If what happened in the place where Lee Hyuk is alone, it would be worth putting in a little something and trying to fix it, but it would be impossible to solve it in such a way as long as Jung-hoon is with him.

“Damn it.”

Then, in the end, the 300 had to give up.

Although not all of them were pushed in, I felt even more bitter that Jorah mixed a lot of those who said they were good.

And the bigger question was what Lee Hyuk was thinking about the situation.

I was only told that I was going to teach you because of my probation, but now that I have a problem from day one, there is nothing strange about me if I don't want to teach you.

I told you to let the other kids go, so you probably shouldn't take your hands off it, but what's wrong with the human mind?

“Hnng... ”

While looking for ashtrays, Christopher finds them lying on the floor and nervously rubs the cigar against his desk.

Then I took out my phone.

We have to fix this somehow.

I wonder if Lee Hyuk's feeling better by now.

“Mmmm... ”

Christopher looked at his phone, feeling like he was going to see his parents with an F transcript.

What is Lee Hyuk doing right now?

What time is it in Korea?

Do you mind if I make a call?

Should I call Jung-hoon first?

“This is killing me. ”

I didn't even notice it until the Cold War, but what is this doing to one person?

“It was better that way. ”

It was Christopher who felt his place.

At that time, Lee Hyuk was having a very hard day.

“Can I do this? ”

“… the schedule has been officially canceled, so there's nothing to do. ”

“But isn't that a little bit wrong? ”

“I think so, too. ”

Seo Ah-young and Choi Jeong-hoon were anxious.

Well, I don't hate this.

It's actually good. Very good.

The problem was that it was a working hour, and the place they were in was too public to take a moment to enjoy.

Where is it?

“Ah, this is a great vacation spot. ”

Lee Hyuk turned his back on his base.

Sun is coming down in South Korea.

“Khh……. ”

Lee Hyuk, who was enjoying sunbathing on the white sand wearing only his bathing suit, turned his head to the cold feeling that reached the cheek.

“Huh?"

Kim Da-som was holding the juice against Lee Hyuk's cheek.

“Is she worth it? ”

“It's okay now. ”

“That's a relief. ”

Lee Hyuk took the juice she gave without saying anything and drank.

“Kaa!”

This is paradise.

That's why people have to enjoy themselves.

How do you live every day in that ridiculous city?

“Mad lizard. ”

Appeldrich stayed in his office to play the game.

Cho Jung-hoon begged me to go home and do it, but I respectfully gave it to him because of PC specifications and mouse sensitivity.

“Oh, good. ”

Jung Jeong-min was also in her bathing suit next to Lee Hyuk.

“I knew winter would be the best summer. ”

Somehow it didn't make sense.

Seawater bathing in the south is best in winter and skiing in the upper part of the summer is the best way to travel.

“Did you take the marker? ”

“Yeah, I got it. But you're so mean. You were able to come and eat me all this time? ”

“I didn't insist. I focused on efficiency. ”

“Funny.”

Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue.

“What do you know? ”

It was not because it bothered me, but because it was really efficient. The gate is opened once by a massive Mana.

Instead of ether, Mana will open a gate here, similar to the amount of ether used by Jung Jeong-min to teleport throughout the day.

The two varieties are different, so we can't compare them exactly.

“Well, this time I brought him here, so I'll take a look at him. ”

Jung Hae Min said with a cat-like expression.

Seeing that, Jung Jeong-min shouted as Lee Hyuk laughed.

“You're making fun of me again! ”

“Lie down, lie down. Shut up. Lie back and support me. ”

“Tsk.”

Jung-min tried to say something more, but Kim Da-som moved faster.

Oops.

A large umbrella was erected next to Lee Hyuk's head.

“Huh?"

What's with the sunbathing?

“UV rays are not good. You should avoid the face. ”

“Oh, really? ”

Then something like that.

Where did you get that umbrella?

It's unmanned here......

When I told you to get your bathing suit ready, this is what you were bartending to!

“And…. ”

I started placing something on Lee Hyuk's head.

“This is oil, but you need to apply it to prevent skin burns. And this is a nutritional supplement. If you sweat too much, you may run out of amino acids and minerals, so take this. You may be dehydrated, so please eat this... ”

Excuse me.

I'm Lee Hyuk.

If I thought the sun was going to be bad, I wouldn't have survived that rough veraph.

I had a lot to say, but I couldn't.

Given what Gimdassom had in mind to learn magic, it was not easy for him to say something he hated.

“And this……. ”

“… Stop. ”

Lee Hyuk couldn't speak, but turned his head.

Then, there's not a single woman who's been so good to herself all her life.

“… No, there is. ”

“Yes?”

“No, no. ”

Lee Hyuk shook his hands and covered his face.

Aaaah!

I'm crazy!

I can't believe I'm thinking about her!

We must forget!

Damn it, now that my memories are gone, why do they stick around and bother me?

About the time Lee Hyuk bent his head, the phone on his head began to ring.

“What?”

I looked up at the screen and the name Christopher appeared.

“Did I save it? ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head and answered the phone.

“Hello?"

You hear a hissing sound in your ears.

Lee Hyuk shouted in a hurry.

Weight! Weight! Wailer minite! ”

“… What? ”

Lee Hyuk, who urgently gave the magic interpreter, returned the call as a comfortable face.

“Hello?"

“Mr. Lee. It's me, Chris. ”

“Oh, yes. Well.”

Lee Hyuk puffed his head and asked.

“Why?”

“ ……. ”

I can hear Christopher swallowing his saliva over the phone.

Christopher, who was wrongfully accused of Lee Hyuk, opened his mouth and pleaded to send his damn Stefan to hell.
