I Picked Up the Hero and the Demon King

17 – A New Beginning (3)

Embarrassing.

I don’t know why they suddenly changed like this.

I had no idea how to respond to a figure I’d never seen before, and I couldn’t think of what to say to a question.

Wasn’t the feeling you heard earlier supposed to be dismissed as nothing!?

“Huh? Uh… that’s right.”

As I replied with a reflexive nod, the sisters smiled again.

A different smile from the one I just smiled at and asked.

“Huh~ I see~”

“Whoops… Really?”

“Eh… But why…?”

Even when I hesitated and answered stiffly, the sister continued to smile and ask questions.

However, the behavior gradually developed.

To be shy, to notice, to be sloppy…

It was as if two foxes with exactly the same appearance had transformed and appeared in front of my eyes.

“Just…? I’m going to be living with you all the time, so I was curious. Shouldn’t we know who your friends or co-workers are?”

“That’s right. And if it’s the same girl… I’m sure we’ll see each other often. To do that, we have to communicate well, right?”

“That’s right?”

“Yes. And that junior girl… No. The junior has been with you for a long time, right? Are you close?”

“Uh… that’s… that’s it, isn’t it?”

“Then I think my juniors will be able to learn more about you.”

“I wonder. Mister, what kind of woman is drunk… No, what kind of person does she meet.”

“Uh… well…”

I didn’t say anything.

I don’t even know what to answer.

No. Rather than that, is it right to have this conversation now?

But I don’t think it’s that wrong to say it’s wrong.

A subtle feeling that seems to be right and yet doesn’t.

More than anything else, it came as a fresh shock that the sisters were showing this kind of appearance.

Of course there were encounters, but I’ve only seen them a few times, and I knew there were a lot of things I still didn’t know.

I never thought it would suddenly show up like this, like this.

“Yes? Mister. I’m curious. Could you please tell me?”

“Tell me!”

“Hmm…”

I was worried about whether or not I should let you know, and after much consideration, I decided to just say it.

If we keep together, we will definitely run into each other.

If you don’t answer there, the relationship between me and the sisters may deteriorate.

It’s not like I’m going to cut ties with Han Soo-jung today and tomorrow, and it’s not that things like this are going to get worse…

I thought it would be nothing special, so I smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“Yes. All right. Let me know if you have any questions.”

“Okay, then I’ll ask you some questions.”

“Huh? Uh uh…”

I was a little taken aback by the direct entry.

As soon as I felt like a criminal being interrogated by the police, I started answering the sister’s questions nervously.

“Is that junior girl pretty?”

“Huh? Huh… Right?”

There is a reason why I often think of myself as a popular junior or sometimes call me a popular junior.

Han Soo-jung is so beautiful that she is said to be the prettiest among the heroes who occupy the same building.

Of course, I haven’t met other female heroes and I don’t have much interest in them, but there are quite a few cases where I get hit by male heroes whenever I see them.

Strangely, Sujeong Han seems to have rejected all of them.

“Do you have long hair then?”

“No. My hair is on the short side.”

“Is it because you like short hair?”

“It’s not because I like or dislike her short hair… Well, she must have her own style.”

“Then what kind of hair do you like?”

“Uh… If I had to choose between a short one and a long one… Long one? But I like the short one too. No. Do I just like them all?”

“It’s long…”

“That’s long…”

Her sister thought for a moment, then nodded her head and continued with her question.

“Then is that junior high?”

“Tall? No. A little shorter than me.”

“So, is it good for you to be short?”

“Huh? Uh… right? But being too small is a bit okay. Like Han Soo-jung, a little smaller than me… No. Why am I saying this?”

As I was getting caught up in the pace and answering, an unexpected answer came out.

But even this answer was important to her sister, so she fell silent again and began to think.

Seeing her like that, her doubts and doubts grew as she continued to answer questions.

‘Why are they doing this… ?’

Are you trying to get me on a blind date?

Of course, I could have asked her why she was asking such a question, but her sister’s energy was so intense that she couldn’t speak.

‘You answer and I ask questions.’ Because it was the atmosphere.

If I could break this atmosphere…

Yes. It felt like a war might break out.

“Okay… I mean…”

“…Hmm…”

Perhaps they were in deep trouble, the sisters were contemplating while making small sounds of pain.

She seemed to have no more questions in the silence, but she thought she was relieved.

It didn’t take long to think about it, and her sister smiled again and started asking me questions.

“Then does that junior have big breasts?”

“Huh? Still have questions…?”

“Of course! There’s still a long way to go!”

“Uh uh… yes.”

Is Sujeong Han really that concerned?

I don’t know, but once I didn’t answer the question, something bad would happen, so I decided to keep answering.

“Um… uh… I guess… I don’t know.”

“…Then you like big ones?”

“Huh? What?”

“I asked if you like big breasts.”

“Uh…”

Wait a minute guys.

Your eyes have a lot of… It’s strange.

It had been strange since before, but it seemed that the sisters’ eyes had changed even more strangely at this question.

… Mistaken, right?

A misunderstanding… It will be

“……That’s… that’s it, isn’t it?”

“Hmm—”

“Hmmm—”

“Ah! But I also like small things! Personally, I think big things are like that. Men have that kind of thing, so I think small things are attractive enough! So I don’t really care!”

As the sister glanced at me with a keen eye, reflexively, her words jumped out.

Instinctively, I wonder if the answer is correct in preparation for a mistake I am not aware of.

Fortunately, her sister nodded her head with a light smile as if my actions were correct.

“Nice job, mister.”

“Right. Good job.”

What… ?

… No. Let’s not ask questions.

As if she had something to think about this time, the sisters were silent and lowered their heads.

The silence flowed again and I looked at it without a word.

I am a tree… Water…

How about this and how about that…

Isn’t it life that goes through many things in life…

Through all sorts of thoughts.

“Okay. Thanks to you, it was a big success.”

“That’s right. The rest of the old man… You just have to get to know him slowly!”

“Whoops.”

“hehehe.”

The two asked and answered questions on their own, and a hearty smile appeared on their lips.

Somehow, that smile seems a little tempting…

Um. It is an illusion.

Stop thinking.

The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.

Anyway, after the question ended, nothing special happened.

The eventful day was coming to an end and the next day was coming.

※

In the morning of the following day, I went to the association building.

Rescuing the sisters is over, but it’s not quite over, and there are still a lot of things left to do.

I needed to follow up, so I was in the team leader’s office.

“Did you sleep well?”

“…No.”

“Really? It looks like you didn’t sleep because your sister was worried about you.”

No. It’s not…

I was sweating when I was going to bed last night and he begged me to sleep with him.

I barely separated and slept separately, but I couldn’t sleep because I was very concerned.

… I wanted to say, but I didn’t.

It seemed like it would be long if I talked about it, and it was too much of a hassle to say it all right now when I was tired.

When I replied with a nod, my brother smiled and looked at me.

“What. I can’t sleep, so I have to work, right?”

“I hope it’s over soon.”

“Noisy, man. Just listen carefully.”

Hoyeon put a pile of papers on the desk.

After that, when I put them all up, I spread them out and classified them, and started pointing and explaining them one by one.

“Let’s talk about your discipline first.”

“Yes.”

“First of all, not one crime was detected, but many. Even just looking for it, violence and gambling… It was a mess. The problem is that you are a hero… Superhuman.”

“As expected. The laws regarding superhumans are strict.”

If power is given to those who do not deserve it, it will be a disaster.

Many people have awakened to power, and most of them are weak or insignificant, but there are strong people.

Whether it’s a hero or a villain, you had to make sure to deal with abnormalities within the framework of being a superman.

At least, the hero is in the position of protecting people, so it might be a bit guiding, but the law was law.

“Fortunately, this part can be solved to some extent if you do something about it. If you move to the problem of heroes and villains, it means that you acted as a hero, not as a crime sweeper, with your own actions.”

“Even if you retired?”

“Even though I retired, the association doesn’t pay attention. I don’t care about the yard where there is even a hero company. Maybe I don’t have to worry too much.”

The current hero society is divided into two categories.

Hero Management Association, a nationally recognized organization.

Hero Company, a private organization.

Basically, because they are superhuman, the state manages them, but those with power want to be treated and hate being restrained.

A private company came forward for such people, and it was the hero company that built the system.

Of course, the country disapproved of this, but I had no choice but to let it go because it could rise up in rebellion if it was restrained or suppressed hastily.

The behavior of the human market was to attract and compete with better welfare and better compensation.

“Anyway, hero companies are also managed by the country, so I want to make something separately…”

“Because everyone has a position. You don’t intend to enter the company, do you?”

“Nothing. If there is at least… an academy instructor recommended by my brother.”

I thought it would take a lot of time to find my sister, so I retired from Hero and didn’t plan to do anything like work or job hunting.

But the situation has changed since he rescued the sister faster than expected.

It may not be right now, but since I can’t continue to be unemployed, I will have to work later.

“Yes. That was it. Well. We’ll talk about it later. Anyway, let’s continue talking about it.”

“Can I just find the part related to the villain?”

“Fortunately, that’s more or less over. The Mana Suppression Bracelet… You saw that and said it was related, right?”

“…There’s no reason a hero would give it to someone who lives in a slum.”

If he did, he would be branded as a criminal and not a hero, and put in a concentration camp for villains.

It was at the level of turning a superman into an ordinary person by blocking the source of mana.

If ordinary people wore it… It would be like a living corpse.

So the meaning of the bracelet was great.

“So first of all… It will be fined. Well. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it if it’s necessary.”

“Thank you.”

“Thanks… Let’s move on.”

After that, Seojin Lee and Hoyeon Kim continued to talk.

A story about sisters. Talk about an upcoming schedule. Whether there will be other problems or secondary problems.

We talked in detail and carefully.

“Go in.”

“Yes. See you later.”

After the time passed and we finished talking, we said goodbye and left the room.

There are a few troublesome things, but most of them are easy to solve, so I wondered if I could spend my daily life while resting.

That time when I was walking while thinking about this and that.

From behind, Sujeong Han called me to stop me.

“Huh. Seojin sunbaenim? Where are you going?”

“Huh? Ah. Han Soo-jung. It’s you. I was on my way back after talking with the team leader about personal matters.”

“Ah… Really? Then, I guess there’s no work after that?”

“Yes. Why?”

Looking at it puzzled, Sujeong Han suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at me from the side of her eyes.

“That. Then you know… I want to tell you about the phone call yesterday…”

“Yesterday?”

“I heard that you will repay me with whatever I want!”

“Ah~ that? I did. Why? Do you want something?”

Lee Seo-jin replied with a grin.

Seeing that figure, Han Soo-jung calmed her exploding heart and took a few deep breaths before she answered in a loud voice.

“That. Then! With me! Go on a date for Christmas!”
