Chapter 54: Kim Yu-seong's Battle
Clatter! Thump!
At that moment.
In an elegant room overlooking a Japanese-style garden, Tojo Karens father, Tojo Naoto, was conversing with Boris, a member of Ivan the Destroyers personal guard and a chief security officer of EE Corporation.
Since Captain Boris did not speak Japanese, Sento Osamu, the organizations brain and an elite yakuza, was present to interpret.
Captain Boris, how is Ivan Noya doing?
He is in the hospital now.
Sento Osamu, serving as an interpreter, pushed his glasses up with his middle finger and translated in real time.
Ivan Noya is currently in the hospital. 1
What? Why?
His wrist broke during a fight.
His wrist was shattered in combat.
Huh
Tojo Naoto let out an involuntary sigh.
It was beyond his imagination that someone could break the wrist of Ivan the Destroyer.
Who did it? Was it one of the Seven Powers?
Upon hearing Naotos words, Boris shook his head and then spoke with a grave expression.
Kim Yu-seong.
Kim Yu-seong.
After speaking, Boris gestured to the bandage wrapped around his own head.
This wound was also inflicted by him.
This wound was also made by him he says.
Tojo Naotos eyes widened in surprise at this revelation.
Who was Captain Boris?
He was a veteran agent of the now-defunct Soviet Unions KGB, having survived countless battlefields over the years.
After retiring, he joined forces with Ivan the Destroyer and was acknowledged for his skill, eventually becoming his personal guard, wasnt he?
Not only had someone injured such a man, but they had also broken the wrist of Ivan, one of the worlds strongest fighters, and sent him to the hospital?
Naotos perception of Kim Yu-seong, whom he secretly viewed as a potential son-in-law, surged dramatically.
If he could somehow make him his son-in-law and infuse fresh blood into the gradually declining organization, the East Star Association might regain its former glory.
Boris, sensing Naotos excitement, said with calm eyes,
He is a man wanted by the Czar. Do not touch.
He is a person wanted by the Czar. Do not interfere he says.
Hearing that, Tojo Naoto touched the scar on his face and laughed fiercely.
Ha, interesting. So adults are planning to interfere in young peoples love affairs? Well have to wait and see who Yu-seong ends up dating.
Miss Sasha is perfect.
He says Miss Sasha is perfect.
Hearing this, Naoto felt irritated and wanted to boast about Karen, but due to her usual behavior, he shouted a beat too late.
Our Karen is also pretty when she dresses up!
This implied that she usually didnt dress up.
Miss Sasha also has a large chest.
I traded my bingsu, despite feeling shy.
With each of our bingsus decided, we set out to enjoy our snack time.
Bon apptit.
I stirred the mango, syrup, and ice thoroughly with a long parfait spoon and took a bite.
Mmm.
The familiar sweetness filled my mouth. As always, mango bingsu never disappointed.
Seeing how I ate, the others seemed to grasp the technique and mix their toppings, syrup, and ice thoroughly before taking a bite.
Their eyes lit up instantly.
Its delicious!
The fresh fruits make it more refreshing than ordinary bingsu.
While Rika and Karen bubbled with excitement, Sasha quietly began digging into her melon bingsu.
Fortunately, it appeared to suit her taste.
Relieved and enjoying the sweetness of the mango bingsu after a while, Sasha suddenly asked me,
Yu-seong, wouldnt you like to trade?
Hearing that, I nodded without giving it much thought.
Sure.
The mango bingsu was originally for Sasha.
Since it had been traded to me, I saw no reason to refuse.
As I extended my bingsu bowl, Sasha shook her head and pointed at the spoon in my hand.
Feed me yourself.
Me?
You.
Saying that, Sasha scooped up some of her melon bingsu and offered it to me.
Feeding each other was a common act among couples.
With a twinkle in her eye, Sasha held out a spoonful of her bingsu to me.
It seemed she was teasing me.
Reluctantly, I ate the melon bingsu she offered and then extended a spoonful of the mango bingsu to her.
Ahh~
Sasha deliberately made a cute sound as she accepted and ate the mango bingsu I held out.
She seemed to be playing a joke to embarrass me, but I wasnt the type of guy to be easily flustered by such acts.
As I maintained a poker face, waiting for Sashas next move, she licked the mango syrup from around her mouth and nodded in satisfaction.
Mmm, the mango bingsu is delicious. I see why Yu-seong likes it.
Huh? That was it? She just really wanted to try the mango bingsu?
Blinking in surprise at this unexpected outcome, Rika and Karen, who had been watching, rushed over, each holding their own bingsu bowls.
Ryu-chan! Lets trade and eat next!
No! You should trade and eat with me first, Ryu-chan!
I seriously wondered if I should have unified the menu to only mango bingsu from the start, given its sudden popularity.
