Chapter 37

ED: Cheerycheri



The child almost cried his eyeballs out. Then, when he came to his senses, he was slightly embarrassed, and he wiggled his finger while burying his face in my chest. The tips of the child’s ears are red.

But before I knew it, visitation hours had ended. When Park Yoon-sung said I had to leave, the child raised his head and looked at me.

“Leaving? Are you leaving already?”

“I can’t stay long because of the visiting hours. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

“But, still...”

It was worth seeing his lips twitch and the despondent look on his face, wanting to say something more. I took a tissue from the attendant and put it under his nose and said—

“Now, blow your nose.”

“Hum, humph.”

“Blow louder, hum!”

“Humphh!”

When I carefully wiped his runny nose and turned around to throw the tissue away, Do-gyul rushed over and grabbed the hem of my shirt.

“Hyung...”

“Don’t worry. I told you I’d be back tomorrow.”

“Really? You will come here tomorrow?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

As I nodded, I suddenly remembered the tablet PC. I quickly searched through my inventory and took out the latest model of the tablet PC from it.

“I’ll give you this, so play with it. You wanted to have this.”

“Oh?”

Do-gyul’s eyes widened as he received the tablet PC. Then he asked with a big smile on his face.

“Is this for me?”

“Yes, I bought it for you.”

Han Yi-jin has been buying and collecting the newest tablet PCs whenever they come out to give to his little brother. However, it wasn’t the real Han Yi-jin who finally gave it to him, but me who was a fake. There was a bitter smile on my lips. I have to keep deceiving this good child.

“Wow.”

Do-gyul, who turned on the tablet PC, pressed various buttons with his hands, and was amazed. I briefly explained to the child how to install and operate the apps. Before long, the tablet PC was filled with games of Do-gyul’s taste.

“I’ll be back tomorrow.”

“Yes...”

The child nodded reluctantly and looked up at me anxiously.

“You must come. Definitely.”

“Yes, I will definitely come.”

Do-gyul let me go only after making a few promises. He must be lonely since he had not seen his only remaining family member for a long time, so it was very sad to part ways like this. I also can’t bear to leave him.

I forced myself out of the hospital room and back to my accommodation. On the way back, Park Yoon-sung talked to me.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing, but about Han Do-gyul-gun1.”

“...What’s wrong with him?”

“Didn’t you feel anything strange when you saw Do-gyul-gun?”

“...?”

Anything strange?

I tilted my head at Park Yoon-sung’s question.

Wasn’t he just... a normal kid? He got angry, he got annoyed, and he cried...

The government?

Amidst the confusion in my head, someone appeared.

“Yi-jin-ah!”

"

“Eden?”

Eden stared at me as he flew swiftly towards me with his wind ability.

“Why did you come back so late?”

“What do you mean late... What the hell happened? Are we being bombed?”

“Umm...”

Eden let out a small groan. He became lost in thought like he was trying to choose the right words to answer my question. The house looks like a complete wreck, but Eden looks pretty fine. I feel relieved and anxious at the same time.

“Well, a bombing is a bombing...” As Eden opened his mouth, a loud explosion resounded at the same time.

Bang!

“Ugh!”

As the aftermath of the explosion reached me, Eden created a shield with his wind ability. I opened my eyes and looked at the situation from behind Eden, and something appeared above the roofless accommodation. I opened my eyes wide when I saw a small object floating in the air.

“Kieek! Kiek!”

“Yong-sik!?”

Yong-sik’s small face turned at my shout. Yong-sik cried for a long time when he found me.

“Kkyaau! Kkyaa!”

“Yong-sik-ah!”

Yong-sik, who flew at me like an arrow, crashed right into my arms. As I hugged him in surprise, Yong-sik rubbed his face against my chest like a crying child.

“Kkyai, kkyaaa...”

“Yes, yes. You must have been very surprised that your father wasn’t there when you woke up.”

As I soothed him by gently stroking his spineless body, Yong-sik was able to stretch his body in relief.

I thought he would wait patiently when he woke up, but it seems that he was really anxious when he found that I wasn’t there. By the way, don’t tell me—

Yong-sik didn’t do this, did he?

I gulped while looking at the devastated accommodation, and someone came out of it.

“Uh...?”

“...”

“Hyung! Did you just get here?”

It was Kang Yoo-hyun who had just walked out and a bright-faced Kang Soo-hyun followed behind him.

Just the two of them? What about the other raiders?

Kang Yoo-hyun, with an expressionless face, approached me as I looked around.

But why is this bastard holding a magic sword?

“You—why did you...”

“...”

Kang Yoo-hyun, who calmly scanned the surroundings, answered casually.

“I was just wondering who should be killed first among them.”

“...”

Hey, your younger brother is among them. This crazy bastard, really!
