Chapter 377

I am not a returner Episode 377:

Sister (1)

“Then we’ll just go back.”

“Hmm. “I wanted to have a drink with Oh Jin’s younger brother, but it’s a shame.”

Two days after leaving the intensive care unit.

Sakaki, who had come to the airport to pick up Ojin and his group returning to Korea, ate his food with a sad expression on his face.

Ojin smiled slightly and held Sakaki’s hand.

“Anyway, won’t we have a chance to meet again next time?”

“Hahaha! “I will make time to go to Korea soon!”

Sakaki nodded, letting out his characteristic boisterous laugh.

After saying hello to Oh Jin, he turned to Lee Woo-hyuk, who was heading to the Valhalla Guild’s private plane while being supported by Kim Seon-young.

“Woohyuk, you also had a hard time this time. The Kuroshi organization will never forget the favor it received from the Valhalla Guild.”

“It was hard... I couldn’t even hurt him properly.”

Lee Woo-hyuk gave a self-deprecating smile and a despondent expression.

The battle with Anceladus must have been quite a shock, as the blade, which was sharp as a wild beast, had become dull as if its claws had been cut off.

Sakaki let out a lively laugh while patting Lee Woo-hyuk on the back.

“haha! “If that were the case, wouldn’t I have been hit and just flew away?”

“That...”

“The important thing is that you picked up the sword for the helpless. Even though it is close, it is definitely for people from other countries.”

It’s a misdiagnosis, and since we’ve met each other before, let’s say I can come help him.

In fact, in the case of Lee Woo-hyuk, he followed Oh Jin to Japan even though there was no need to come.

He did it alone because he couldn’t get his guild members involved.

“I am also the head of an organization. “I know how difficult your decision is to make.”

To save the helpless.

How many people can actually keep this statement, which seems obvious at first glance?

Basically, humans only move when their understanding and calculations are aligned.

When you see people sacrificing themselves and going to faraway countries to volunteer, they say they are amazing, but in reality, very few people even donate 1,000 won.

There was an instinctive reluctance to do things that required sacrifice without any benefit.

“But you did that.”

Whether Lee Woo-hyuk was active or not, I couldn’t help but admire his actions.

“....”

Lee Woo-hyuk’s eyes wavered.

He raised his head for a moment, looked up at the sky, and then spoke in a low voice.

“...I had an older brother.”

“brother?”

Sakaki blinked at the sudden change of topic.

“When my brother had just become an awakened person, I left him half-way behind because I wanted to focus on growing the guild.”

Lee Woo-hyuk continued speaking with a bitter expression.

“And my brother died. “I was kidnapped by the Black Star.”

Startle.

Oh Jin, who was quietly listening to Lee Woo-hyuk’s story, trembled.

“I thought a lot after my brother died. “If I had been a little more...a person who could look out for others, my brother would not have died.”

I swore in front of Lee Shin-hyuk’s grave.

I will never live like before again.

I will become a person who can hold up the sword for others.

“Hmm. “Is that why you came to Japan alone?”

“There was a reason why I wanted to repay the favor I received from Oh Jin, but that was the biggest reason.”

Lee Woo-hyuk smiled slightly and unclenched his fists.

I straightened my shrunken shoulders and straightened my back proudly.

“Thank you for your words. “Thanks to Mr. Sakaki, I feel like I remembered something I had forgotten.”

The claws of the wild beast that had been cut off began to grow again.

“Hahaha! “This isn’t just a handsome guy!”

Sakaki patted Lee Woo-hyuk on the back and burst into laughter.

“....”

Was it not only his own future that was changed by Lee Shin-hyuk’s death?

Ohjin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Ojin sighed and shook his head.

“I’m fine, so if there’s anything left to do, later...”

-My work. I am coming. You know, right?

Isabella smiles brightly and clearly emphasizes the two letters ‘tomorrow’.

Ojin was struck by the eerie thrill of a beautiful smile that took his breath away, and without even realizing it, he took a posture of alertness.

“I will pick you up at the airport tomorrow.”

-Ha... First of all, you must have just returned home, so get some rest.

Have you lost your temper yet?

Isabella sighed and told me to rest, with a smile as calm as a lake on her lips.

-You won’t have time to rest tomorrow.

hmm.

I think I still need more time to let go of my anger.

-Oh, Oh Jin, you know you have to come alone, right?

“alone?”

I was planning on picking her up with Ha-eun, but why come alone?

When I looked at Isabella with questioning eyes, she smiled and continued speaking.

-yes. I booked a hotel near the airport.

hotel?

“Why the hotel...?”

-See you tomorrow, Mr. Ohjin.

Pop.

The video call has ended.

“I will let you know tomorrow when the young lady will return home.”

Roberto bowed politely and put the tablet back into his bag.

Roberto, who was about to turn and leave, looked back at Ojin with pitiful eyes.

“Please... I hope you’re safe.”

“No, wait a minute.”

What is that look on your face as if you are looking at a death row inmate who is about to go to execution?

“Rest comfortably!”

“Wait a moment...!”

Without any time to stop, Roberto quickly walked away.

Oh Jin turned his head towards Ha Eun as if holding the last rope.

“Sister, let’s go to the airport with me tomorrow.”

“What should I do because I’m lonely? It’ll be hard to see your face for the next few days since we’re here.”

“no.”

Oh Jin glared at Ha Eun with an expression full of betrayal.

Ha-eun smiled awkwardly and turned her head to avoid his gaze.

“what is it. “I don’t have the confidence to handle Bella when she’s upset.”

It seemed wrong to expect Ha-eun’s help.

“ha.”

Oh Jin sighed and turned around in front of the front door.

“What is it? Are you really trying to stand out?”

“it’s crazy? “How are you going to take care of it?”

“So where are you going now?”

“Sanctuary.”

Originally, I had planned to rest well today and leave for the sanctuary tomorrow, but the plan went awry.

“Are you going to see Vega?”

“Yeah, I’m going to go see if it’s okay. “I have something else to ask you.”

All three constellations who used the constellation’s blessing, including Vega, were unable to appear again due to restrictions of the law after being backsummoned to the sanctuary.

“Are you going to ask?”

Ha-eun tilted her head and looked at Oh-jin.

Oh Jin took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

The same paper that was given to Sakaki, depicting a man with hair as white as a snowy field.

“If you’re Vega, you might know about this guy, right?”

Why?

The words that Lee Woo-hyuk had said, ‘The constellation of the Black Star is not one,’ suddenly crossed my mind.
