The Returner

5. If you want to say you're crazy, you have to do this (3)

“Sure. Let's go eat. ”

Park Yong-hui eventually let himself go by half. It was because he realized that worrying and worrying weren't the kind of things that would change.

‘It's scary. ’

Park Yong-hui was really scared of Lee Hyuk.

It wasn't just because he was strong or because he had the power to easily remove Park Yong-hui. So far, so many people have seen so much power.

That's how it is to survive in the Republic.

However, Lee Hyuk was fundamentally different.

Is that a person?

It wasn't the extermination of humanity or psychopathy. It was not the aesthetic feeling of being human but not being human, but it really seemed to consist of something from the very beginning, not human.

Does it feel like something other than human is desperately imitating human beings?

“… Comrade Chief of Staff. ”

The Army Commander Kim Yong-seong approached him and spoke to him.

“What is it?”

“What's wrong with this? Are you afraid it's over?”

“... What if you ask me that? It's a matter for the Commander to decide. ”

“I just don't know what's going on. Shout, bang, bang, and now it's all gone, right? ”

“Ask your Nam Chosun comrades, not me. I know something. ”

Park Yong-hui nervously turned his back on me.

It's helpless and irritating. Does he have to say with his mouth that he did not know what was happening because he saw everything with his eyes?

Kim Yong-seong didn't know what to do and looked at Choi Jung-hoon.

“To……. ”

Jung In-su checked with Lee Hyuk first.

“Is the situation settled? ”

“Huh? Were you there? ”

“… Yes. ”

“Where have you been? I didn't even see him snore. ”

“Does it help if I hang around here? I was just waiting in the car. ”

“Isn't that wise? ”

“Of course.”

Lee Hyuk also smiled at Lee, looking at the awkward smile.

“Well done. The situation is settled. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. ”

“Wow……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon was furious with Lee Yi Hyuk, who was kind to Jung-soo.

“Why don't you treat me so kindly! ”

“Think about what you usually do. ”

“I'm not! ”

“How do you compare it with someone who's thinking about how to make them feel comfortable and someone who's thinking about how to roll over a little bit more? ”

Choi Jung-hoon's mouth was closed like a clam.

“Even dogs know who likes them! I'm a human being! ”

“It's a person, right? ”

“Are you picking on me? ”

“I had my doubts once. ”

As Lee Hyuk and Choi Jung-hoon started bickering, Jung Myung Soo shakes her head and approached Kim Yong-sung.

“Commander.”

“Oh, Comrade Jung In Soo. ”

“Lee Ji-hyuk confirmed that the situation is over. ”

“Then where did all those monsters go? ”

“I don't know exactly. because no question about a competent individual's abilities is this one right here. ”

“Is that so?"

Kim Yong-seong nodded.

If so, he had nothing more to ask.

“But is it really over? Don't get me wrong, because I don't think my head will be fine if this happens again. ”

“First of all, we're not coming back right away, so if anything happens again, we'll be on our way. ”

“We wouldn't be so sure if we were. ”

Kim Yong-seong smiled and reached out his hand to share his hand with Jung Myung Sook.

“From what I've heard, Colonel Jung will soon be in charge in Nam Chosun, is that correct? ”

“Given my age and rank, I'm not fit to be in charge. It's all nonsense.”

“What are you talking about? Wouldn't you be able to do as much as you want with your abilities? Just as our Supreme Commander comrade isn't there because he's old enough to be there. ”

“That sounds about right. ”

If I say no here, it will be an insult to North Korea. Jung In-su immediately changed her words and assisted Kim Yong-seong.

“I see. Perhaps we'll see each other again in the future. Please take good care of him from now on. I need your help."

“I'll be here any time you need me. ”

Jung In Soo tried to end the conversation with a formal word.

However, from Kim Yong-sung's point of view, he did not want to let go of him easily whether he thought it was important to make an acquisition and strap, one of the key military leaders of South Korea, in situations where he didn't know when or where Lee Hyuk might need the power of the future.

“You must be tired. Let's go eat something after the horse. ”

Kim Yong-seong nodded at Park Yong-hui.

“I didn't think of that. Be ready quickly. ”

“Yes."

An earth filled with blood and flesh was cast into the eyes of Elite Master.

Even after creating this spectacular scene, it was miraculously impossible to do any damage to civilians or soldiers. If only there were no casualties, except those who died in the fire or burst on their own.

‘It's scary. ’

In the end, there was nothing done by the NDF or the People's Forces. It was like all of this was resolved by Lee Hyuk alone.

‘Lee Hyuk's dependence is increasing. ’

When Lee Hyuk first appeared, it was not like this. Because of this, the acquisition was a bit complicated.

The advent of powerful individuals is welcome, but the advent of powerful individuals is never welcome in modern societies.

“Aren't you going to eat? ”

“You should go.”

Jung In Soo grins.

‘But I'm glad it's him. ’

Jung In Soo sincerely thought so.

Rrrrrrrrrr.

The bus ran toward Pyongyang.

There was gentle air flowing through the battlefield compared to the tense atmosphere of moving from Korea to North Korea.

But there was one thing that didn't change.

Purr.

Lee Hyuk snored excitedly.

“How could I snore so cute? ”

“Are you crazy? Is this cute? ”

“Aren't you cute? ”

Jung Jeong-min seemed to think a little, but eventually she nodded.

“Yi, Recognition. ”

Herkana smiles as if it were a bean, and stabs Lee Hyuk in the cheek.

“Ahhhh!”

When Lee Hyuk waved his arms like he was chasing after Paris, Herkana was amused.

“Stop bothering me. ”

“But this man can't help but be tormented by the look on his face. ”

“Are you always so annoying? ”

“No.”

Erkana shrugs.

“When Darling sleeps, there's a stubborn lizard claiming possession, so he can't touch it. ”

“Wow……. ”

It was really upsetting to hear that before, but why does it feel so good to hear that now?

“Appledrice is in trouble. ”

“I know. ”

Herkana inflates the ball.

When I see how sexy that looks, I think there's a reason men are losing their minds to Herkana.

‘As a woman, I can see how beautiful she is. ’

Erkana will be beautiful in Lee Hyuk's eyes.

Even Jung-min, who thought that he was from Idol, could not be followed by beauty anywhere, sat next to Herkana. If someone were to take a picture of you in this situation, you'd be named Beauty and Squid.

“But... you can sit down. ”

“I'm tired.”

“... did you have something to be so tired of? ”

Erkana kicks his tongue.

“This is why humans. ”

“Why?”

“Listen to me, ugly man. ”

“Except ugly. I mean, I'm kind of the prettiest of them all. ”

“Then listen, some pretty ugly humans. ”

“... just say he's ugly. ”

“You do realize there's an excessive physical burden to being a human being using black magic, right? ”

“Of course.”

It is a resolutionist who has seen other abilities of the NDF die half dead with each shot of Black Magic Power. That much knowledge, of course.

“Darling in particular is much worse. It seems that the amount of Black Magic power used is different, and the amount of physical impairment caused by Magic Power is different. You have to endure dozens of times the pain of others. If you suffer that pain head-on, you'll die of shock. ”

“Is that it? ”

“You didn't know?”

“But he used his abilities and laughed all the time. ”

“That's right…. ”

Erkana reaches out and strokes Lee Hyuk's cheek.

“You know, we're not normal people, Darling. ”

“Hmm.”

“If you compare ordinary humans to Darling, there's less physical or magical difference. In fact, the biggest difference is mental power. Darling doesn't even have my charms. ”

“I don't know what's so great. ”

“It would be less frustrating to talk to Ameba. ”

“What is it?”

Jeong-min was flustered, but it was not beneficial for her to set up an opposition to Erkana while Yi Hyuk was asleep. Lee Hyuk couldn't save me at the same time.

“But he's cuter than Amoeba. I admit it.”

“Whether it's praise or insult……. ”

Jung-min sighed deeply.

“By the way, are you saying Ji-hyuk is very tired? ”

“Of course.”

“Mmmm... ”

“You mortals are of no help. Darling did it all by herself. ”

“But even Herkana isn't much help. ”

“I had to. I left all my lifelike magic on the mantel to meet Darling. ”

“ ……. ”

“All that in the face of love is insignificant. That's why Darling calls me pretty. ”

Jung-min's face was sweet.

“Aren't you ashamed? Saying that with your own mouth? ”

“Why are you embarrassed? Humans are weird. Why are you ashamed of yourself? ”

“No, thank you. ”

Jung-min thought he was not in communication with Herkana.

‘I can't believe I have to stay with this person forever. ’

I've already had a headache thinking about it.

“It must be hard.”

Erkana strokes Lee Ji-hyuk's cheek.

“I was born human, and I've been through too much. So, Darling is cool, but I also think it's a bad idea. ”

“That doesn't sound like a demon. ”

“That's what the dragons think. ”

Aefeldrice nods, gazed at by Herkana.

“Surprisingly... This guy was not so popular with Humans, but he's a working type in this world. Is that what it looks like? ”

“He wasn't handsome. ”

“That's not it. I was treated like a monster in your neighborhood. ”

“Why?”

“Beraf has no Hwang Man. ”

“Ah……. ”

Considering that she was treated as a goblin when white people first came to Korea, I had a good idea of what Lee Hyuk was going through.

“Darling's great thing about not giving up on humans after so much. He doesn't give up. ”

“Hmm…. ”

Jung Hae Min looked at Lee Hyuk quietly, then turned her head and looked out the window.

‘What would the world have been like if he hadn't shown up? ’

I didn't realize it at my side, but I didn't know that Lee Hyuk was saving the world.

Purr.

Even though snoring doesn't look like it.
