164 Daddy's too strong. Episode 163.

Today's dinner was fried rice.

Stir-fried with olive oil after adding chopped carrots, onions, and shrimp.

There was no meat dish, but the seasoning was adequate, and basically, Seol Yoon-hee's cooking was so good that Yong-yong was eating three bowls already.

a rattling sound

But in Byul's case, she only ate half of what she usually.

Soon after, he put the baby spoon down on the table, closed his eyes, put his head down, and said, "Thank you for the meal." It means I won't eat anymore.

Seol Yoon-hee asked just a momentarily, looking at Byul's bowl of rice, which left more than half of the rice.

"Does it taste bad?"

"Taste it wrong."

"But why did you leave it like this?"

"Bam Lee O'Neren Shue Fur."

Today is Wednesday.

The cute calendars with chicks, dedicated to stars, were circled.

Only then did Seol Yoon-hee smile when she found out why Byul ate less than usual.

Dropping.

Open the second compartment of the drawer supporting the TV.

There were two wallets that Byul really cared about.

One was the wallet of a chick painting and the other was the wallet of a bear painting.

Moon Byul, who was thinking about which wallet to take today, soon chose chick.

"Are you going to buy chocolate bread?"

At Dojun's question, Byul shook her head.

"Gee Long, you're a piece of shit. Abba Zhi Long Yi Al?"

Maybe you're not talking about that worm crawling on the floor.

Do-joon shook his head as if he didn't know, and Byul smiled and recalled various kinds of worm jelly advertised on TV this afternoon. If you put it in your mouth, it's so sweet that your tongue melts inside you that you go to heaven.

"He's got a thousand cotton wrappers."

Do-jun smiled.

"That's interesting."

***

Byul left home alone with a total of 800 won.

It was unthinkable until now to go out alone.

Now some of the places I go often can find my way at night, and Seol Yoon-hee also thought it was not too much to go to the supermarket alone.

at a pause

It was strange. The lights of the supermarket that always lit up the streets of the night.

Somehow it was pitch-dark today, and the sliding door, which was supposed to be wide open, was tightly closed. Byul made a lap around the supermarket.

"Oh, what are you always doing?"

But Byul was not disappointed.

Super, you could have come again tomorrow.

next day

After dinner, Byul stopped by the supermarket with Yongyong.

Closed tightly today, I stared blankly at the dark supermarket.

"What did you dig?"

Like it's unbelievable.

Byul's hand, which was holding a chick wallet, trembled.

The supermarket was always open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

The supermarket was not opening for two days already!

"Bam Lee, are you dreaming?"

"Dream? Aha!"

Yong-yong pinched his cheek with his front paw.

Not much, but pain comes from the cheek.

.........크.

Yong-yong spat out laughter.

Then he thumped on the super sliding door and shouted.

"Well, isn't the old lady's prank too much?

About a minute to knock.

Yong-yong confirmed that he could not feel any signs of popularity inside.

Yong-yong's face, which was smiling hard, gradually disappeared.

I stopped knocking on the door.

"Ha, Grandma..."

***

an iron fist

"Huh?"

Seol Yoonhee stopped washing the dishes for a while.

I looked at Yong-yong and Byul who came back from outside.

When I came back from the supermarket, I always ran to the living room with a smile on my hand, but today I had nothing in my hand and my expression was dark.

"You didn't go to the supermarket?"

asked Seol Yoon-hee, tilting her head.

"God, what are you...…."

"But why are they so depressed?"

"Oh, I always lose in Shufu's door. Uh, two, ten, ten, oh...…."

"That's strange. You've been doing business every day."

Byul seemed very disappointed.

Especially, the disappointment would have doubled because you were looking forward to eating the new worm jelly advertised on TV. Seol Yun-hee approached Byul and slightly bent her knees to soothe her by patting her head.

"Do you want me to go to the convenience store and get it? Earthworm jelly."

Byul gave no answer.

In fact, Moon Byul's desire for earthworm jelly now.

I was more worried that the supermarket might not be available anymore.

I didn't want to see my grandmother who always welcomed me warmly around this time.

".........."

Dojun was reading a book sitting in front of the table.

I looked at Yong-yong and Byul, who were very depressed.

As Seol said, the supermarket was open every day, and it was strange to be away for two days.

***

next day

Dojun left home an hour earlier than usual.

Then he stepped to the security office at the entrance of the villa complex.

knock, knock

The old guard who was listening to the radio in the security office.

At the knock, I got up from my seat, opened the door and approached Dojun.

"Yes. What's the matter?"

"I'd like to ask you a question......... Changshin Super hasn't opened lately, do you know what happened?"

"Oh, Mr. Kim Ok-soon. Oh, don't even talk. I was taken to the hospital a few days ago. He's probably in the hospital right now. I've been to the hospital once and....... The doctor says it's going to be hard."

"Have you got a big disease?"

"I'm not sure about that. By the way, what should I do with this? I heard that Kim Ok-soon has no family and lives alone, but I don't know if she can afford the hospital bills."

"......I see. Do you happen to know which hospital it is?"

There is St. Mary's Hospital in Banpo-dong. But why is that...…."

Dojun bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

***

Dojun wrote a day's annual song on this day.

As the guard said, Dojun visited the St. Mary's Hospital.

We could see Kim Ok-soon, the owner of Changshin Super, lying dead in the intensive care unit.

"You're old, and you're not feeling well from the start. In fact, medical science and technology have developed so much that it is possible to recover health, but the reason why we can't use our hands is that patients Kim Ok-soon suffered from the aftereffects of maladjustment in the window of condition. If we had caught him early, it wouldn't have gotten this bad......... it's very late now."

status window maladjustment

Ten years ago, a state window that appeared to people all over the world at the same time as the crack broke out.

The window approached people as, but some of them rejected it, making it seem like someone who could not adapt. It eats away at the original physical ability, accompanied by a nervous breakdown, chronic pain, and if left unattended, it could lead to death.

In fact, Kim Ok-soon's patience so far has been a miracle.

"You must have been very sick, why are you here now?…."

The doctor clicked his tongue as if he was sorry.

Do-jun looked down at Kim Ok-soon, who had become much thinner in the past few days.

According to the security guard, Kim Ok-soon lives alone without a family.

She ran a supermarket for local residents and children every day without a day off.

Her hands, which she used to take care of free snacks for children who had no money, were dry.

"Is there any way? Healer's help, mana engineering therapy."

"I've considered it, of course, but......... The aftereffects are already so severe that you have very little chance of recovering. I don't know if there's Elixir......... Oh, well, assuming it exists."

Ellixir.

said to resurrect the dead

a legendary spirit

Of course no one knows if it is real.

Legend has it that the cracks at the top of Mt. Seorak in Gangwon-do can be found.

However, many hunters who went to save Elixir for the legend did not return forever, and two years ago, S-class hunters, including Behimos, set up an operation team and went into cracks, but failed to cross the initial entrance and returned as they were.

'Elixera......'

Class S crack at the top of Mt. Seorak.

It wasn't like the monster was breaking out of the crack.

Hunter's administration had designated it as a restricted area and banned people from entering.

Really, we don't know if there's an Ellixer or just a rumor there.

"Thank you. I'll be back later."

Weying.

The automatic door of the single intensive care unit opens.

The doctor fixed his glasses on the back of Do-joon, who left the hospital room.

Originally, Kim Ok-soon was hospitalized in the cheapest intensive care unit for six people.

Even that was behind in hospital bills.

"...like a villager."

Apparently, they are just residents of the same villa.

However, a man named Lee Do-joon paid all of Kim Ok-soon's overdue hospital bills and even asked her to let him move to a single room. Of course, the money was paid by Dojun.

***

Thick.

Seoraksan National Park.

After getting off the taxi, Do-jun looked up at Daecheongbong.

The taxi driver smiled dazed at the back of Do-jun in a suit, seen over the window. It's strange that someone who came to hike didn't even prepare a hiking suit.

Also, Dojun had a black leather briefcase in his hand that reminded him of a 007 bag. The taxi driver nodded as if the question had only been cleared up a little.

"It was a suit case. Hunter."

Sometimes I had this kind of customer.

The S-class Great Crack at the top of Daecheongbong Peak of Mt. Seorak.

Hunters who were looking for a jackpot in order to earn a fortune with an artifact called Elixir used to visit Daecheongbong from time to time.

Two bangs!

Dojun's new model has disappeared.

Cheonma Gunnimbo Dojun reached the top of Daecheongbong in an instant with a single leap.

And he looked gravely at the long torn cracks and the transparent membrane protecting the surroundings, unaware that the sky was high.

[Intrusion Control Area]

If you get close.

Along with the warning sound, a hologram message of access control appeared in front of the eyes.

Dojun took out his civil service card from his suit pocket. No, I thought about it for a while.

Instead, they take out Hunter ID cards.

Hunter Kim Hyun-woo has been confirmed.

Warning! Cracks are too difficult compared to Hunter Rank. Still, if you want to enter, please give me another card.

***

"Ha... ...what the hell is he?"

Hunter Administration Situation Room.

An employee who was looking at the monitor screen looked irritated and looked at the log records when a message showed that someone had entered the S-class section of Daecheongbong Peak on Mt. Seorak.

[F-level Hunter Kim Hyun-woo]

"Grade F... ...there are many ways to kill yourself."

"What's wrong?"

A senior employee next to me pulls a chair and approaches.

"Oh, well....... There's a grade F in Daecheongbong Unexplored Land Cracknowledged."

Never mind, but what's the hunter's name?

"My name is Kim Hyun-woo."

"Phew. Leave it alone. He's going to die....... Hold on."

The name Kim Hyun-woo is mentioned in my name is Kim Hyun-woo.

A name that I've heard a lot from somewhere.

And, months ago. I could recall that he was an F-hunter who survived the A-class rift.

Hunter, who was saved by the Mezai guilders who went in with him.

When I looked at the log records at that time, it was evident that Kim Hyun-woo, a class F hunter, had entered first.

"......but."

"Yes, sir."

"Will he really get F?"
