I Picked Up the Hero and the Demon King

10 – Sister (3)

The man was very embarrassed when the sister shed tears.

Now I can understand a little bit what the man meant and acted.

He seemed to be worried about them and blamed himself for what he had done wrong.

“Mi. Sorry! Did I do anything wrong? Didn’t like the food? Should I have ordered something else?”

I felt like a big bear was cutely embarrassed when I brought the toilet paper and became restless.

Maybe it’s an illusion of feeling for the first time.

The sisters heard that it would be better if it was such an illusion.

Since they were moved tears, the sisters soon stopped, and instead of saying thank you, they smiled.

“Cancer…”

“Yum…”

The sister carefully took each piece of her pizza.

It was the most delicious meal I’ve ever had.

After savoring and eating a bite, he said thank you.

“…Thank you.”

“…Delicious.”

The man seemed to feel relieved after that.

The meal that brought flowers to everyone’s lips started in earnest.

“Eat a lot.”

“Yes.”

“Yes!”

※

After the meal, the three each took a break from each other.

Fortunately, the thick darkness has disappeared from her sister’s face.

The glare that would kill her younger brother disappeared and she looked at the man with a mild gaze.

However, the man was worried about this and that, so he was contemplating whether or not to tell the sister while looking at his sisters.

I carefully tried to ask her sister if she had finally made up her mind.

“Hey guys. That… you know.”

“Uncle.”

However, her sister responded faster.

“You… Huh? Why?”

The sisters stared at the man who was speechless.

She knew she was trying to help them somehow, and that made her sisters less willing to take it.

Since I was born, I have been told that I am unhappy.

I always experienced only bad things and only despair was in my life.

However, it was expected that if such a good thing suddenly happened, a great misfortune would strike the man as if the dam that was blocking it overflowed.

I didn’t want to tarnish the light that had come beside them, which was nothing but misfortune and despair.

I didn’t want to lose a single ray of light that was given to them in the deep darkness.

There was only one answer.

Not facing after tonight.

To leave without receiving continued favors.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if you let me sleep for one night?”

“Of course. Of course I meant to. So, if you want to stay longer…”

She knew the words she most wanted to hear would come, but her sister shook her head at the slightest hint of her.

“No. It’s fine. We just need to put it to sleep for one night.”

“Ah… So…”

The man opened his mouth to see if he had something to say, but in the end he nodded as if he understood his sister.

However, she looked at her sister with determined eyes to see if she had anything to say.

“Okay. I have one request for you instead.”

“Please…?”

“Yes.”

The word “Please” Made the sisters nervous for some reason.

Of course, they had a subtle belief that the man in front of them wouldn’t ask for something that would hurt them.

The dark time the sisters had been through was something they could not easily shake off.

Moreover, her older sister had already had her small trust broken once.

“Could you give me your names?”

Fortunately, when she realized that it was a small wish, not an ugly desire, her sister put her mind at ease.

Rather than that, it’s a name. I was really surprised.

Because they didn’t try to properly know their names until now.

The director of the daycare center also called the children by numbering them.

She was unfamiliar with the situation of introducing her name for the first time, so the older sister discussed it with her younger brother in her low voice so that she could not be heard by men.

‘What should I do?’

‘I think it’ll be fine. Because that man looks good.’

‘Really?’

‘Yes… What about your sister?’

‘… I think so too.’

After her discussion, her sister looked at the man.

“Your name…?”

“Yes. This is also a fate… I think we can meet again later.”

“Ah…”

Can we meet again?

I really hope so… Knowing well that it was a futile hope, her sisters did not think much of it.

However, if I was lucky, I hoped that it would happen again next time and answered quietly.

“My name is… Sua. Sooah Yoo.”

“My name is Yoo Seo-eun, mister.”

Then the man looked at his sister in shock for a moment, as if in great shock.

Looking at that appearance, I was worried that I might have said the wrong thing, or that I didn’t really want to hear the name.

She asked the man carefully, hoping that nothing bad would happen.

“Mister?”

“Huh?”

“Why… why… do you?”

The man who had been staring blankly at Yoo Soo-ah suddenly came to his senses at the question and asked back.

“Uh… Why? What did I do?”

“No. He suddenly stopped and stared blankly…”

“Ah…”

What were you thinking? For a moment the man sighed.

Then he shook his head slightly, came to his senses, and apologized to his sister.

“Sorry. I have something to think about.”

I wondered what he was thinking, but he didn’t ask.

There was just one thing I really wanted to ask.

However, there were many times I wished for it, but it never came true, so I was worried that something might go wrong.

But the warmth she felt for the first time changed a lot for her sister, and the sister who felt the same mustered up the courage to ask the man.

“Oh. No. More than that… Could you tell me your name?”

“My name?”

“Yes… My sister and I were curious about the uncle’s name…”

My words trailed off and my heart raced.

Can you tell me? Maybe you think it’s off topic?

As I thought about this and that, the man thought for a moment and then answered quietly.

“…This is Seojin Lee. My name is.”

“Lee… Seojin.”

“…Seojin.”

The sisters repeated their names.

As if never to forget, like a child chomping down on delicious food.

I tried to remember everything about Lee Seo-jin by imprinting it deep in her head.

I repeated it over and over to never forget the greatest luck and last warmth of the day.

Lee Seo-jin was gradually becoming an object of obsession with her sister.

※

Two weeks later, in front of the Hero Association main building.

Lee Seo-jin received her severance pay normally at her counter, and as soon as she came out, she immediately cursed and looked at the building behind her.

“Seriously f*cking… does it make sense to complicate things like this?”

Two weeks took a long time to retire than I thought.

I heard that they usually catch heroes wherever they go, but I never thought they would catch them like this.

Ha ha. Is it all if you provide a lot of welfare and a lot of money?

Is it all about good amenities and benefits?!

Do you want to hold the crotch of a person who is going to retire like that?

Ugh… I gave you a lot of severance pay, so I’ll pass it on.

“Let’s just think about sisters in earnest now.”

Since I was no longer a hero, I was an unemployed man, so I decided to end it by handing over my final greetings, telling me to take care of myself.

By the way, it took two weeks to find the sisters.

I haven’t done anything at this point where every minute and every second is precious.

I asked my older brother for a personal investigation, and although I was shameless, I also borrowed the help of my juniors.

Because Han Su-jeong lived a fairly well-to-do house.

Where is the company… What were you running? You know what we should have had a deep conversation with in our past lives.

I never had an in-depth conversation because there were a lot of things I just answered roughly and ignored when I called.

… I’ll have to see you more often from now on.

Anyway, while asking the two of them, I explained various things about the reason I left Hero and the sisters.

It was a brief explanation, not deep and detailed, but the two willingly accepted my request.

“I’m here.”

On the way back from the Hero Association head office after receiving a text message from his brother saying that the results of the investigation were out.

Not much time had passed since I entered the team leader’s office in Building A of the Association, which has now become my old workplace, but I felt new, perhaps because I became an official unemployed.

“…Are you here?”

“Hello, senpai.”

“Huh? Han Soo-jung was there too? Did I come while you were working?”

“What are you talking about? My senior asked me to do some research. Looking at it, I came because the team leader and I said that we were coming.”

“Ah… Is that so? I didn’t know. But…”

Why is the atmosphere so bad? Do you have any problems?

… The words echoed in my throat, but I couldn’t get them out.

There was a serious atmosphere flowing in the serious look, and I didn’t know what was going on, but I just instinctively felt that something bad had happened.

“No. So how did it go?”

“How did it go~?!”

At my question, Kim Ho-yeon stood up in amazement.

He strode over with a file in his hand and asked while tapping me.

“Ah. Ah. What’s wrong, brother?”

“Hey. Seojin Lee. You know I don’t ask you often, right?”

“I know.”

“So let’s ask one thing. What are the kids that you asked me to investigate? Could it be the kids you hid?”

A war breaks out in the future, and each hero and villain’s main axis and heroic sister…

But if I said this, they wouldn’t believe it, and they’d be dumbfounded, saying, “I’m crazy.”

No matter what he said, he couldn’t answer right now, so he laughed and blurted it out.

“Hmm? Oh, that’s what I should say. I met him briefly on the road, but I felt sorry for him, so I decided to help him. A hero always has to help others, right?”

“What? Ha… Just say no if you don’t want to talk. What kind of f*cking excuse are you making?”

“Ah~ What a lame excuse. Hyung, I’ve changed? Could be…”

“…”

“…’

… Wow. It’s really absurd, but it’s an expression that says you’ll understand.

The two of them looked at me with expressions like rabbits in an animation where a bear and a detective rabbit get caught every time.

Well, even after I said it, it sounds like sh*t. Admit.

“No. Um. But I was actually a good person…”

“…Uhhhhh!

Sitting down on the sofa, Kim Ho-yeon put a file on the table.

I hurriedly sat across from him, accepted the file, and thanked the two.

“Thank you. Hyung. Han Su-jeong, thank you too. It wouldn’t have been easy to ask for a favor like this.”

“Anyone like that would ask such a favor?!”

“Does anyone you know ask for such a favor?!”

When the two of them answered at the same time, they became embarrassed and scratched the back of their heads, shaking their heads.

“hehehe… I couldn’t help it. I only have two friends. How can I not have anyone to ask for…”

“…Ugh. Let’s not talk. Let’s not talk.”

“…Hmmm. That. Then it can’t be helped.”

Leaving behind Kim Ho-yeon, who shook his hand in disgust, and Han Su-jeong, who was suddenly embarrassed, I checked the file.

There were not many results of the investigation. Four or five at most.

They were document files with pictures and explanations.

That wasn’t the problem.

As I read them one by one, I could feel their expressions getting harder and harder.

My expression after reading the last chapter… Even without speaking, I could tell by looking at the two of them.

“Brother. This… This… No. How could this… This… be?”

“…Are you shocked? I thought it was no big deal at first.”

Kim Ho-yeon nodded as if he understood.

In the document file, information about the sisters was densely written.

Date of birth, family relationship, place of residence, accident… To the extent that most information collectors would say go away.

The problem was the content inside.

It could be seen that the content inside was so horrifying that it was unimaginable.

“I asked for help several times for divorce and domestic violence, but he was ignored… I asked for help from a hero, but he was denied at the door… Currently a wanderer… Living… Living…?”

Boom!!!

I was so angry that I couldn’t say anything more, so when I hit the table, it broke in two.

“Ehehehe~ That’s expensive… What if an ignorant, strong guy gets angry?”

“…Sorry. I’ll compensate you.”

As I watched, my anger rose.

A deep anger boiling deep inside.

I never imagined it would be this serious.

Because what I predicted didn’t even scratch the surface of the watermelon.

When I realized that they were sisters who had gone through all the despair in the world, I vaguely felt why my younger sister became the devil and why they broke up.

But there is one thing I don’t understand even after checking everything.

How the hell did the hero not follow his younger brother and become the demon king even after going through these days?

Why were you able to protect others and save me… Was

“It seems that all the misfortunes in the world have been gathered together. How can this be…”

Sujeong Han shook her head with a serious face, probably thinking that this was not the case.

I had never seen her sister, but I could sense that she was deeply concerned.

“…Is this true?”

“I wish it was a lie too. But there is no lie at all.”

“… Ha.”

“…I won’t ask you for details. What are you going to do?”

As she buried her face in her hands and lamented, Kim Ho-yeon asked a question.

Hundreds and thousands of thoughts came and tangled in my head, but only one conclusion came to the question.

“I have to save it.”

“It’s not normal. It’s going to be very hard. Maybe… you can fail.”

“It’s okay.”

Lee Seo-jin, who had a spleen expression in response to Kim Ho-yeon’s worried question, stood up with a faint smile.

“It didn’t matter from the beginning.”
