Chapter 292 – 292. Great Filial Piety
I moved with Sihun to a place where people were rare.
“What, what are you talking about? … Could it be that it doesn’t go well with Yeseul? Is it dating counseling?”
“No! Yeseul and I are still very close!
Judging from Sihun’s reaction, it doesn’t seem like he’s trying to talk about anything serious.
“Then what is it?”
“It happened in the space of the Stranger. You… Didn’t you create a huge blade with magic power and cut the Stranger at the end?”
“It did?”
“Then… Something was strange.”
“Is that weird?”
Sihun made an expression that she didn’t know what to say, but after thinking for a while, she opened her mouth.
“Should I call it a sense of kinship? Some kind of resonance? I felt something like that.”
“Resonance?”
“Huh.”
Come to think of it, I have never used this power in front of Sihun.
Because Steel Mountain was weak enough to not need to be used, Sihun didn’t have it when dealing with Lukchia, and Sihun dealt with Tolay himself.
If it was Sihun, who could certainly be said to be the root of this power, it wasn’t strange that he felt a sense of kinship with him.
“What should I say? Should I say intimacy? I heard that feeling very strongly.”
“Really? I mean…”
After pretending to think for a while, he said to Sihun.
“Sihun-ah, are you free tomorrow?”
“Huh? Excluding club activities… There aren’t any.”
“Then come to Houbungkun’s laboratory tomorrow. Let’s do some tests. I have some guesses.”
“Prosecutor? Uh… Okay.”
Next day.
Sihun arrived at Hubungkun’s laboratory.
“Welcome, Sihun!”
“Hello, Dr. Furuta. Oh, and Rouvelt too.”
“Because I’m curious too.”
“Then let’s start the inspection right away!”
Si-hoon enters the inspection equipment in the laboratory and begins to be audited.
In the meantime, Hubungkun and I had a conversation beyond the sound barrier.
“I thought this day would come, but I didn’t know that Sihun-nim would feel the same.”
“Originally, it’s Sihun’s power. You have to match your words well, Hubungkun?”
“Fufufu, of course not! This Furuta Yoichiro! I’m pretty confident in my acting!”
After Sihun talked to me yesterday, I planned to talk to Hubungkun right away.
Alibi accidentally found a substance that could counter the power of the Stranger in Eldra, which was doing research to counter the Stranger.
And just by chance! Sihun had the same power! It feels the same.
To be honest, she was already aware of Si-hoon’s power and would be shocked to hear that she secretly drew, cultured, and researched blood to use it.
A good lie is sometimes necessary.
After the rough examination, after chatting for a while, Hu Bung-kun acted very surprised to Si-hoon and gave a prearranged explanation.
Of course, Shihun opened his eyes wide in surprise at this.
“Yes!? My, my magic… No, blood, to be precise? The great Strangers I was researching in Eldra… No, monsters also have effective power?”
“That’s right! Aaaaah! Such an accident! It can’t be that Eldra has been researching for years, and it’s no different from the finished version of the power! It’s not possible to find it in the body of a close friend of the boy! It’s too bad!”
“Ah, are you sorry?”
“If I had known this sooner… Huh, huhuhuh. I could have obtained Sihun-sama’s consent and actively conducted more research!”
“…!”
Rather than pretending to be a coincidence, they feel sorry for them, and they remove the root of doubt by giving plausible reasons.
Additional tarot there.
“Sihun-nim! If it’s okay, would you like to donate blood?”
“That’s not blood donation, but drawing blood for research!?”
“Fufufu! This research is, after all, for the sake of the world! It’s blood collection that contributes to the world, so it’s fair to call it blood donation!”
“Lou, Rouvelt, I think we’re done talking, so I’m done…”
“Sihun-ah.”
I grabbed Sihun’s shoulder as he was about to leave the institute.
“Pick out the one you came from and go.”
“You…!”
“But I never thought you would have that kind of power. Come to think of it, I thought that even when attacking Tolay, it worked better than I thought. There really are all these coincidences. Ah, so did I become more aggressive when I practiced mimicking Stranger’s power?”
“No, that’s okay, let go of this hand!”
“What’s wrong? It’s not like we’re going to do a human experiment with you, it’s that we’re going to draw some blood.”
Although Sihun’s blood has already been cultivated enough.
If you use the blood of Sihun, who has become stronger in his current state, a better research product might come out.
“It’s my blood, so it’s not a human experiment!?”
“Of course, since you’re providing it, I’ll give you the corresponding money.”
“No, it’s strange that I’m researching with my own blood instead of money…”
“When you go on a date with Yeseul, if you give him an expensive gift, then Yeseul will surely be happy, right? It would be even better if you went to a luxurious date course.”
“…”
You passed.
As expected, in this case, you have to take out the person you love to be active.
“How much?”
“If you calculate it, it will be about this.”
Hubungkun took out a calculator and showed it to Sihun.
“…? …Yes?”
Sihun looked at the number, blinked and rubbed her eyes, then looked at the number again.
“Uh uh uh!? This, so much? No, why? So much? A lot? Uh uh!?”
“Yeah, Sihun’s blood is worth it! But if you’re still in a bad mood, unfortunately, I’ll stop donating blood…”
“I’ll do it! I’ll do it right away! I’ll do it to help the world! Cancer!”
Sihun’s demeanor changed immediately.
Well, since the price is equivalent to 5 years of the average annual salary that ordinary hunters earn in society, such a reaction would be natural.
After that, Sihun immediately donated blood and left the institute with a smile when he saw the money in his bank account.
“How did you pass it well, Bocchan?”
“I see. I’m a little worried though.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m worried that Si-hoon will make a mistake while dating Ye-seul because he suddenly has a lot of money.”
“Ah~ I’m definitely worried. Well, even if something like that happens, don’t you think that if you’re the boy, you’ll do after-care for her friend?”
“Of course.”
Ye Seul’s personality and Si Hoon’s personality aren’t the ones to ask for an end to the relationship right away if Si Hoon makes one mistake.
Rather…
“Hubungkun.”
“Yes, Bocchan!”
“We have to start preparing in earnest soon.”
“…The time has finally come, Mr. Doryeo.”
“Okay.”
“But isn’t there a possibility that Stranger will appear in the future?”
“No, according to Stranger Ryzak, the owner gave himself all the power to be used for the future Stranger. And that power… When he disappeared, I set up a curtain beforehand and got rid of it.”
At my words, Hu Bungkun nodded his head.
“Then it might be the weakest state for its owner right now.”
“That’s right. Did you figure out the nature pattern of the force when opening the Hubungkun space?”
“Of course! However, it will take a week to find the exact spatial location. I’ve been researching for a while… The other person seems to be hiding in the depths of the dimension.”
“That’s enough. I’ll look forward to it, Houbungkun.”
“Yes, just leave it to me!”
After talking with Hubungkun, I also left the lab.
A week later.
That’s when it’s time to catch the final boss.
◈
“Well, really, this is the money in my bank account…”
After returning from his blood donation, Lee Si-hoon trembled in his room and looked at the amount written on his bank account.
Obviously, even if he became a hunter and hunted monsters hard, he would have to work for several years to get the amount.
It was used for research, so I earned money just by donating blood once.
For Lee Si-hoon, now 20 years old.
No, it was a huge amount even for other ordinary people.
‘What should I do with this? Yes, Yeseul said that the water park was fun the other day and that he wanted to go to an amusement park this time, right? Then you can easily buy a free pass by setting a date and buy churros right away… You can even buy huge dolls as souvenirs to your heart’s content… !’
Even at the age of 20, Lee Si-hoon is still a cadet attending the academy.
Unlike Roovelt, he didn’t have much money in his pocket and never spent much in the first place, so the luxury that Lee Si-hoon could think of was a commonplace luxury that he would like to do something on a regular basis, but because it costs a lot of money, he only thought about it.
“Yes! Even when we go, let’s just take a taxi rather than public transportation! It’s faster!”
In addition, the thought of going a little farther by taxi was added.
Seeing himself able to brag a bit financially in front of his lover Kim Ye-seul made Lee Si-hoon feel better.
‘Such money… Even mom and dad can’t earn it easily, right? If you think so, I’m really lucky. I can’t believe my blood has such power…’
Lee Si-hoon’s parents were extremely ordinary parents.
Neither had a magical awakening, and it was an ordinary family with a father at work and a mother at home.
So, Lee Si-hoon couldn’t believe that he had such power.
‘Mom… Dad…’
A huge sum of money given to you.
And his normal own parents.
Sihun Lee suddenly had this idea.
He himself grew up normal.
He had the self-awareness that he grew up in a normal and happy family.
However, at the same time, as his son, he did not have many memories of doing anything to be proud of or doing great filial piety to his parents.
‘If there is, then it must be when the magical power is awakened, right?’
At that time, he even held a small party with his family to celebrate.
If you awaken your magic, you will basically fight monsters, but the basic perception of ordinary people that magic awakeners have is that they are great people who are envied and respected.
‘… Good. Let’s talk.’
Lee Si-hoon left his room and went down to the living room.
Coincidentally, Sihun Lee’s mom and dad were sitting on the sofa watching TV in the living room.
“Mom and dad.”
“Oh! What’s wrong with my wonderful son?”
“Why did our eldest son contribute to defeating the Stranger~ this time too?”
“Oh, really, don’t call me that.”
Lee Si-hoon asked, feeling tingling at the reaction of his parents who greeted him with a smile.
“You know, Mom and Dad. Do you have any debts with our house?”
“Debt? What do you mean? Honey, by any chance, you…! Where did you borrow the money!?”
“What are you talking about!? The only debt I have is the loan for buying a house!”
“There are.”
“Yes, of course. I buy a house, but I have no choice but to take out a loan with my father’s salary.”
“How much is it by any chance?”
“Oops. My son. What do you do when you know that? You want your son to get ahead and pay you back? Dad would be grateful for that, but don’t worry, son. I’ll pay it back every 20 years or so.”
Lee Si-hoon’s father smiled and told him not to worry, and Lee Si-hoon’s mother smiled and agreed.
“Yes, Sihun, you don’t have to worry about that. More than that, our hero son who catches strangers! After graduating from the academy, buy me a present for my mom.”
“Honey, what about my gift?”
“Isn’t it your gift that I’m happy about?”
“No, but~.”
“Mom, Dad. So how much is it? Try telling me.”
“That’s right. Why is Sihun like this today?”
“Ah, isn’t that right? That… Sihun is dating a child recently. Isn’t he already thinking about getting married and buying a house because he looks like you?”
“Is that so? Haha! Then what~ I should tell you for reference. Unlike me, my son will make a lot of money as a hunter after he graduates. It’s better than our house, so we have to live by it?”
Lee Si-hoon’s parents arbitrarily guessed at Lee Si-hoon’s reason and talked about the loan they had to repay.
And Lee Si-hoon heard the amount and explained it to his parents.
He said he made a lot of money by helping Roovelt this time.
So, I want to use that money to pay off the mortgage on the house.
At first, Lee Si-hoon’s parents said there was no need for that.
They said they couldn’t do it as parents to spend all their children’s money for themselves.
At the parents’ words, Lee Si-hoon showed his bank account.
“Honey oh oh oh oh!”
“Whoaaaaa!”
Lee Si-hoon’s parents cheered when they saw that he had paid off all the loans and that he was not burdened at all.
“It’s really my house now! It’s my house! It’s not a bank house! Sihunaaaaa!
“Kyaaaaa! How! My pretty son! Can I brag about this? You can brag to Yume’s mom too! I was so envious when Rouvelt recently boasted that he gave me a wedding present in advance! Now I’m not jealous either! My son is the best!
“Oh! Mom! Dad! Don’t kiss me! Don’t kiss me! I’m 20 now!”
“”Side, side, side!””
“Aaaaa!”
Despite Lee Si-hoon’s dissuade, Lee Si-hoon’s parents affectionately kissed their son until their hearts were completely resolved.
