025 – Reuniting with old connections # 3

Boaaang -.

Being a motorcycle was noisier than I thought.

Did you intentionally modify it to make loud noises?

Even driving was reckless driving.

There were times when I went between cars to cut in.

Even though I wondered if this kind of speeding was against the law, I held on tightly to Iljinnyeo’s waist, fearing that she might fall off the motorcycle.

It was quite surprising that it was thin and slender but strong.

But no matter how hard he wants to hold on to a woman’s waist.

It was the first time in my life.

In other words, it could be considered as the first waist.

I thought this was very rude, but Jina Lee, one of the best girls, just focused on driving her motorcycle as if she didn’t care.

Are all bikers like this?

Well, maybe I’m just being too newbie.

Just as I was thinking that, I arrived at the town where I live. At the entrance of the village, I patted the back of Iljin, who was slowly slowing her down.

“I think we can just stop it at this point. Thanks for coming early.”

I expressed my gratitude.

After taking off her bulletproof helmet, the Iljin woman looked around and frowned at her.

“Why do you live in a place like this? You have a house The aunt and uncle were worried. You haven’t been home for six years, have you?”

After that, Iljin-nyeo drove her bike and drove away. What was it? Auntie and uncle seem to mean my mom and dad.

To know the information that I haven’t been to my parents’ house for six years.

Are you by any chance the daughter of your parents’ friend?

Or are you my sister’s friend? It seems like a date, but considering that she is probably in her 20s now, she is similar to my younger sister.

I don’t know.

What was important to me now was the message that Lee Jung-hoon sent to me saying he was in front of my house.

If an S-class Awakener, one of only three in Korea, came to visit me, it might be a good thing to be honored.

However, I had a negative mind about the company 「Osa Pharmaceuticals」 Run by Lee Jung-hoon and that guy, probably because of the things I talked about with Yoo Ri-na and Seo Ye-rim these days.

Lee Jung-hoon probably didn’t come to me on an official schedule either.

He must have found me secretly and secretly.

Not to mention, there is a cucumber in my house.

Worried, I ran after a run and saw a man squatting in the garden. He was wearing a suit and was wearing a gas mask that didn’t match his face.

“Lee Jeong-hoon?”

Chwiyiyi-.

Wait a moment to hear the strange sound of breathing through a gas mask.

The man straightened his knees and lifted up his gas mask to reveal his face.

“Nada, Coke. Ugh, Coke-. Under…. Coke.”

It was a face I knew well.

It wasn’t a close personal relationship, but it was a face I’d seen so many times on the internet.

“Coke! Coke, whoops! Wow! Coke!”

However, Lee Jung-hoon’s cough was worse than expected.

Seeing him coughing as if he were going to scrape his lungs, I was worried.

He hurriedly donned his gas mask and took several breaths before calming down.

“Lee Jung-hoon, what’s going on?”

I spoke to a 3rd generation influencer who seemed genuine. Then, Lee Jung-hoon, who was still breathing, pointed to the yard and said.

“What a strange ant. What is this? Are ants right? Is it gold?”

Strange ants.

Are you talking about the Emperor Ant’s Angry?

While Lee Jeong-hoon was waiting for me in the yard, he must have watched the emperor ant, Angangi, stacking piles of persimmons in the yard.

Perhaps it was because he was a man, he seemed to feel cool in the shiny carapace of the emperor ant. Should I say it’s the excitement of seeing a robot like Gundam?

I didn’t really care about Yoo Ri-na or Seo Ye-rim.

I introduced Angangi the ant with a sense of pride.

“This is the Emperor Ant Angang.”

“Angang? It’s a very hot name.”

A hot name? Is it.

Come to think of it, that was the same thing.

Anyway, this probably isn’t the point.

I was very curious about why Lee Jung-hoon came to this place. I was thinking about how this guy should tell me honestly, but Lee Jung-hoon reached out to me.

“I heard you went up from Class D to Class C this time? Congratulations. I brought you a gift, I hope you like it. I heard that you like meat, so I brought it comprehensively.”

Now that I see it, there is a package at Lee Jung-hoon’s feet that you can only see often during holidays.

It looked very classy as it was embroidered in gold on a black background, and it was written 「Assorted Osa Hanwoo Beef」.

How much is it?

Anyway, I also took the outstretched hand and shook it.

“It’s only C grade now, so what? What are you doing very well They filmed commercials, developed new drugs, and were on a winning streak?”

I praised him, but it was very awkward.

I wonder if Yuari and Seo Yerim felt exactly like this when they met after a long time and shook hands.

Shut-.

Lee Jung-hoon let go of his hand and said.

“Not necessarily. I’ve got some problems.”

It was Lee Jung-hoon who twirled his face with his fingers.

Seeing that he was wearing a gas mask, he definitely seemed to be in trouble. I have no idea what the problem might be.

Whoo—Lee Jung-hoon sighed.

Said the guy.

“Haildo, don’t you want to try a part-time job? It’s just a simple part-time job. It’s a part-time job where you draw some blood, get some injections, and watch your progress.”

“Something like a clinical trial by a pharmaceutical company?”

“Yeah, that’s it. Maybe it’s because he’s from an instructor, so he understands quickly. I like people who can talk well. I’ll give you a lot of money A lot of people did it, so it’s safe.”

Is it really safe?

As I slowly thought about the reputation of the Osa Group, it immediately came to mind that there were many problems with the brothers fighting over management rights.

However, industrial accidents occurred, or side effects occurred during clinical trials of a new drug, resulting in complaints from victim groups—I had never heard of such a story.

Yes, Osa Pharmaceutical’s ability is genuine, so they must be confident in their own safety.

“Within two days. I’ll give you 10 million won. If you go up to C rank, you have to get a new suit and buy an entropy counter. Ossa will support you. How is it?”

10 Million won in two days?

What kind of experiment are you trying to do on me?

When I was nervous in many ways, Lee Jung-hoon in a gas mask added something.

“Okay, okay. I’ll give you two thousand!”

I was able to see through that Lee Jung-hoon’s invitation to experiment like this is not a skill he has done once or twice.

Didn’t they give money to quite a few people and put them into various experiments?

It was a moment when I could clearly see the reason why Ossa Pharmaceuticals had shown excellent results since the era of cracks.

I said calmly.

“No, money is not an issue now. I think you should know a little bit about what you want to do. It looks very serious, but I’ll listen and decide.”

“Ha….”

Lee Jung-hoon sighed.

He then looked around and he pointed at his gas mask to make sure that no one was there.

“You see this? It suddenly happened like this It sounds like some kind of allergy, but I have a cough, a runny nose, and it’s difficult to breathe. And this is a secret, but the magic level in my body has also gone down.”

Rating down?

It was very serious.

Could it be that the total amount of mana within a person’s body could fall below? That the C grade I barely achieved could go down to D again?

Just imagining it made me dizzy.

“This is serious.”

Not to mention Lee Jung-hoon is an S-class awakened person.

Considering that the S-class Awakener actually feels like the final weapon to protect the 21st century, Lee Jung-hoon’s grade drop was a great loss to the country and human history.

What should I say?

It is as if one of the three nuclear missiles it had for defense was out of order.

Didn’t you hear something like this in the news?

Well, of course it must have been a secret.

The rating is down.

It was clear that panic would arise among the Awoken. If a panic occurs among the Awakeners, of course the general citizens will be shaken, and the same disorder as before may come.

“Lee Jung-hoon, it must be because of this that you met Yuari. I didn’t want the test results to go viral, so I did the test secretly from an acquaintance.”

“Yes! Yuari, even if he’s a bit squeamish, his skills are good! Didn’t she call Yua-ri that she had to meet with me today?”

There was nothing special.

When I couldn’t answer, behind the gas mask, Lee Jeong-hoon sighed and heard a muttering, “Yuari, that bastard—” In a low voice.

“Anyway, it’s a job! Help me! There are only a few people besides you who know my situation right now. He came here in secret. You said you were promoted from D to C this time? After 8 years! If you know what happened, I’ll do it again—”

Lee Jung-hoon looked quite urgent.

That’s right.

Because the person who was higher than anyone else will fall the most when they fall.

“That’s how I got up to C grade.”

In a way, it was purely coincidental.

He only met the nymph Oinoi and cursed him.

Curse.

I suddenly remembered that keyword.

Didn’t I say that the curse I cast goes back to someone?

Maybe….

“Lee Jeong-hoon, do you know about the curse?”

I asked.

Lee Jung-hoon blinked his eyes under the gas mask.

“Curse? What curse?”

It was like hearing it for the first time.

Smoke?

You really don’t know?

Either way, it seemed better to hold off on easily cooperating with Lee Jung-hoon.

“I will think about this.”

“What do you think? My life is being screwed up in real time right now! Why is no one listening to me!”

Back-.

I was startled by Lee Jung-hoon’s sudden scream. Lee Jung-hoon gasped for breath behind his gas mask and pulled something from his waist.

It was a cylinder-shaped object, but when I thought it was like a flash light, it emitted light with a giggling.

“Is that a beam saber?”

I was really surprised.

A beam saber, the main weapon of Lee Jung-hoon, an S-class Awakener.

I never thought I’d see it right in front of me.

And that meant bad luck for me in many ways.

“Please follow me quietly. I’m giving you money! Or are you also ignoring me as my second wife and child? Are you still like my senior? Do I look like the steamy person who came up with your plate? Uh!?”

Lee Jung-hoon seemed to have lost his reason in half. Well, it’s his turn to drop all the glory, so he won’t be able to keep his sanity.

Even though I could understand his situation, I couldn’t help but be nervous.

I heard that the beam saber splits thick steel plates like paper.

Still, what needs to be corrected should be corrected.

“Lee Jeong-hoon, you seem to be mistaken for someone, but I never asked you to bring up the tray. I scooped out all my trays and threw them all away. Calm down for now. Take a deep breath. After-“

I stretched my hands behind my back, taking the time to do my best. A case connected like a bag. The moment I unlocked the lock inside it, I felt a chill run down my neck.

Zuuung-!

A beam saber that is reputed to cut through anything cut through the air and flew towards her head. It was fortunate that I managed to avoid her by rolling over her body.

“Haa, now that it’s like this, I’m forcibly dragging it. I’ll give you the money later, so don’t blame me.”

Is this a true story?

You have to fight an S-class Awakener?

It’s been a long time since I’ve been fighting a human, not a monster, so it was a time when I felt very uncomfortable.

Fan-!

Lee Jung-hoon’s body shook greatly with a loud impact.

!

He was a kong who came out of the case.

Kyeong-kyeong blocks the gap between me and Lee Jung-hoon.

– Kleureung… !

Lee Jung-hoon, who was fixing his gas mask while watching the squirrel Kyeong-kyeongi puff up his fur, made a high-pitched noise as if he was embarrassed.

“What is this again… !? Coke-. Coke-.”
