The Returner

5. Mom, daughter-in-law (4)

“It's hard in theory. ”

“Oh?”

“Maybe she's a Horseman. You can't sustain yourself without dark magic. There are limits to the supply of Black Magic here, so if you run out of Black Magic Power, you'll have to go back to the Horse System to survive. ”

“The magic I have now.... Well, when does it fall? ”

Appeldrich seems to be making a brief calculation and answers.

“About 500 years? ”

“ ……. ”

I didn't believe she was a dragon, so it must be true.

But are all dragons so stupid?

“You're staying. ”

“No, I can only last 500 years. ”

“Yes, I'm staying. ”

Jeonghae ignored the words of Appledrice neatly.

Does this woman have any sense of what 500 years would be like for a human being?

I heard you're a better dragon than a mere mortal. I couldn't understand where your head was.

“So... ”

Jung-min scratched his head.

“She's trouble just showing up, and she's the Demon King, and now she's going to live in Ji-hyuk's house, right? ”

Kim Da-som's face was hard.

“This is a very, very nice situation. ”

“We have to get rid of it.”

“Huh?"

“You said the Demon King? We have to get rid of him. ”

“Hnng... ”

You're right, but I'm glad it's as easy as it sounds.

“What can I do about the Demon King who is not hostile to humanity? The power and sacrifice that must be put in order to catch the Demon King is no joke. You can't go on an adventure. And……. ”

Jung Jeong-min shut up because she didn't want to take out the hind words.

Moreover, I wondered if Lee Hyuk would be able to capture the Demon King even if he did not step up and gather all the talents of the world.

As soon as I saw it, I was skeptical.

As long as she is a non-combatant agent, but not without eyes, she has no idea how powerful the Demon King is.

No one can know that it is best to keep the Demon King quiet.

“I'm glad you didn't. ”

Jung-min frowned.

Seo Ah Young was walking into the cafe.

“Don't do anything stupid, Sis. If you get into trouble, I'll lock you up. ”

“Who's messing with you? ”

“Am I hearing things wrong? I think I heard something strange. ”

“ ……. ”

Jung-min caught the Americano and inhaled it.

“Oh, it's hot! ”

“Tsk, tsk.”

Seo Ah-young shakes her head.

What's the big deal? We're having a countermeasure meeting.

It's also a political meeting impersonating a countermeasure meeting on what to do with the Demon King.

“What good is that man...? ”

“I never said yes. ”

“Why don't you just stick it in your mouth? ”

“Hmph.”

Jung-min swung his head.

“Why don't you just be the best judge of that? ”

“Huh?"

“We are fools to boil because of the man who has a wife, but you don't look so great when you're interested in the man who's drooling over his wife. ”

Rrrrgh.

Seo Ah Young gritted her teeth.

It wasn't because I was angry with Jung Jeong-min.

It was because of Choi Jung-hoon's stupid expression.

“I don't think it's our time to dismiss each other. ”

“Uh-huh.”

The two women who intuited that talking to each other would only leave a scar were dramatically compromised.

Then, Choi Jung-hoon opened the door and came inside.

“Here... everyone is gathered... ”

“Shut up and start explaining! ”

“Phew……. ”

As soon as he came inside, Choi Jung-hoon suddenly cursed, trying to defend himself against the injustice, but when he saw Seo Ah-young's smiling face, he gave up on the attempt.

This was an atmosphere where I could only swear at something for a whole month.

‘I didn't do anything. ’

Although Choi Jung-hoon was unfair of course, he also knew that the world does not necessarily go back to the way it was, so he started briefing without a word.

However, it was natural to try not to make eye contact with Seo Ah-young.

At that moment, the door opens and the NDF agents roar through the door.

“Huh?”

Jung-min didn't understand the situation and opened his eyes wide.

Why are they suddenly here?

“I called for you. ”

“Why?”

“I have to do the whole meeting, but it's kind of a blur to leave. Of course I do.”

“Ah……. ”

When I saw Kim Da-som sitting on his seat, I opened my eyes wide.

“Da, Dasom, why are you here? ”

“No big deal. ”

“It's no big deal. ”

Kim Da-hyun didn't want to know English, but Kim Da-som was not intact enough to be kind enough to explain in front of all these people.

“Talk to you later, later. ”

“Uh-huh.”

Choi Jung-hoon cleared up the situation.

“Obviously we'd better talk about this later. Because right now, we need to prioritize. ”

Before Choi Jung-hoon could say anything, agents in black suits came in and sent regular guests out. If it had been elsewhere, it would have been worth complaining about, but the cooperation was under way because of the capacity of the residential population.

Soon, only NDF and Kim Da-Som remained in the deserted cafe.

Jung-hoon glanced at Kim Da-som, and Jung Hae-min stretched out her mouth.

“Let's leave Dasom alone. You can call it a relationship. ”

“Hmmm, got it. ”

It wasn't a slight complaint, but she also agreed with Jung-hoon that it would be good for her to know.

“The first thing you should know... is that Lee Hyuk's house is occupied by an individual called the Demon Lord. ”

“Ugh…. ”

Park Seong-chan trembled.

He was the most injured when he fought the Demon King when he was born as a tanker, and he suffered the most. Then, I was shocked to hear the word 'Demon King'.

“Why is the Demon King in Lee Hyuk's house? ”

Those who did not understand the situation had no choice but to question.

According to their observations so far, the Demon King had hostility to Lee Hyuk.

I couldn't understand the words, but it wasn't hard to recognize the enemy just by his tone, expression, and actions.

“Is Lee Hyuk in danger? ”

Kim Da Hyun woke up from his seat.

The shop owner, who was pulling dozens of coffees without even knowing it in English, was surprised at the atmosphere of Kim Da-hyun.

“No, it's not like that. ”

Choi Jung-hoon kicked his tongue while calming Kim Da-hyun.

‘Do you have any eggs? ’

One of the biggest of them was Kim Da Hyun, who was attacked by Lee Hyuk, but it was a bit ridiculous to see the threat coming from Lee Hyuk.

I thought it was a prescription to follow you around saying, "Sir, sir."

If you really think that, it was not an ordinary job.

“That's not the case at all, but there seems to be a friendship between Lee Hyuk and the Demon King. ”

“With the Demon King?”

“There's nothing wrong with that, is there? ”

For a moment there was a murmur, but everyone was easily convinced.

Without friendship, there's no reason for Lee Hyuk and the Demon Kings to talk.

Half of that conversation seems like a lot of stumbling and provocation, but it's only possible if we know each other.

Moreover, Lee Hyuk didn't feel much like talking to God, not the Demon King.

What could he not do?

“The Demon King insists that he is Lee Hyuk's wife. ”

“Well, I see. My wife? ”

Kim Da-hyun's eyes trembled.

“You mean your wife? ”

“Something similar is happening all the time. ”

“Lee, what is Lee Hyuk saying? ”

“I refuse, but I don't deny. ”

“That's right! If not, he'd have gone off the rails! ”

Everyone nodded at Park Seong-chan's words.

“Never a man to tolerate. ”

“Right is wrong, but wrong is not right. ”

“I'm a man of the Qingwa Dynasty, and I'm not a man to tolerate that. ”

Jung-hoon nodded.

“I think it's true what's going on. ”

“It's true... ”

Everyone's gaze is glued to the women sitting at a table.

“What are you looking at? ”

Jung-min showed his teeth, and his gaze returned again.

“Hmmm.”

Choi Jung-hoon coughed up the situation.

“Anyway, Lee Hyuk's house is the devil. You all know what this means, right? ”

“You mean immigration? ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon almost nodded without even knowing it.

No, actually, that's the most realistic way!

“I can't handle Lee Hyuk, but I have the Demon King now. Oh, my goodness. ”

“Do you really want to migrate? ”

I burst out of frustration.

“Everyone calm down……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled.

I didn't even think about it, but after seeing their reactions, I realized that this is not really a serious thing.

“That's actually why I called you. No matter what the situation, it is true that Lee Hyuk has a Demon King in his house, and that the Demon King lives only a short distance from the headquarters of the NDF. ”

‘The Demon King in the middle of Seoul...' ’

In the aftermath of the previous Demon King's fall in London, the United Kingdom has now almost lost its function.

Lee Hyuk desperately stopped it, but it was already halfway through, just like the aftermath of the two fights.

How can a country that has lost its capital do the begging?

The United Kingdom has long since been turned into a country that cannot handle its own gates properly without foreign support.

‘It's no different here. ’

If Erkana started to riot because of Lee Hyuk and Trouble, Seoul would fly away too quickly.

“That's terrible.”

It was scary to imagine.

‘I can't believe the country might be ruined because of the marriage fight. ’

The scale was huge.

If they fight, how can they mediate?

“After all, for some time now, the NDF will transition to an emergency system. I will do my best to ensure that the Demon King doesn't get into trouble in any way until he adapts to this country. ”

“It's easy to say.... ”

Well, who knows what's hard?

That's because it has to be hard.

Choi Jung-hoon shook his head. It was also difficult to accept every complaint from the underlings in order to give orders.

“But……. ”

Kim Da-hyun asked again.

“They say they're watching, but what should we do if you two are fighting? ”

“ ……. ”

“Should I call the police? ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jeong-hoon was devastated by the situation without this answer. Then there was no way to stop them both.

“It's hard to think of anything. ”

But Jung-min simply came up with a solution.

“Ji-hyuk is calling my mother. ”

“Ah……. ”

There's a way.

Choi Jung-hoon nodded his head dazed.
