Chapter 72 – Dad Is Sad

In front of an entertainment bar on the outskirts of Handae Street.
I stopped my steps and looked at Yuria, who was reading the signboard of a bar named Sinope with an absurd expression.

“Here it is.”

“This is… An entertainment bar. Aaron is here?”

“For now, I can feel it inside me.”

“Couldn’t Aaron be reincarnated as a woman?”

Could it be that

“I don’t know…”

The moment I was about to say something, Yoo Seung-hyun came up from the basement stairs and our eyes met.
He greets you with a big smile.

“Hello?”

In his hand was a bag full of pay-as-you-go garbage.
It looks like he’s going to throw it away, but it’s been a while, Seunghyun-ah.
It’s probably the second time you’ve actually met face to face other than seeing it as a tracking monster, right?
I met Sehwa and Green Onion House, do you remember?
Yesterday, Sehwa took your soul away. Laughter came out
Ah, now I am Taegon Kim.

“Hello. Good afternoon.”

Yoo Seung-hyun speaks in a kind tone to me, who takes off the bowler hat worn on his head and greets me like a middle-aged gentleman.

“This is an entertainment bar, and it is not open yet. If you want to simply drink yakju, you can go down a little bit from here.”

Instead of answering with a smile and thanks, I took Yuria out of the bar for a bit.
Then he hardened his expression.

“Daughter.”

“Yes?”

“I got a strong Aaron vibe from the guy who just said hello to us.”

“I beg your pardon…?”

She turns her head and looks at Yoo Seung-hyun’s back.
I can’t read the expression because I can’t see it. What are you thinking?
Good impression? Or not?
If it’s not him, is it just because he says he has Aaron’s energy, so he misses it?

We met eyes with Yoo Seung-hyun, who was returning after throwing away the trash.
This time, he looks at us only with a nod.
His face is full of doubt.
It is only natural that the foreign beauty and the middle-aged man with a beard stare at each other.
Yoo Seung-hyun scratched his head and walked into the bar rather quickly.
Now let’s listen to the impression.

“Do you feel something too?”

“…. No.”

Yuria’s eyes were on the tavern’s stairs.
It feels like reliving the afterglow of seeing Yoo Seung-hyun’s face.
Alright, I let him see his face without even having a one-on-one look, so let’s stop here for today.

“It’s just that Aaron’s feeling is strong, but it’s not certain yet. It will become clear in a few more days, so don’t approach it recklessly until then. It shouldn’t be a nuisance at all, right?”

“Yes…”

“How would you feel if that friend were certain to be Aaron?”

“I do not know. It is too unfamiliar.”

“You said you would definitely bring it back a few days ago.”

“That’s right. If Aaron is certain, I’ll stay with him somehow. But… Is it right to approach him in a situation where he doesn’t remember himself as Aaron? I saw earlier that he was wearing a ring too…”

Don’t worry about that If I break up with Sehwa sooner or later, I will take it out.

“Fate is destined to meet the same fate, so don’t worry too much.”

“I am worried about the device. You never know when the monster will appear again…”

“I believe you will do it on your own as you are all grown up.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Let’s go back.”

The moment Yuria, who had shaken her head without her strength, moved her steps,

Beep! Beep-!

An Evelyn Gauge warning sound came from the device.
It’s been a long time since I heard it, so the resonance is very good.
At the same time, Yuria’s cell phone rings.
She called right away.

“Yes, Doctor.”

– Haven’t you charged your device yet?

“Not yet. But I’ll go right now…”

-No, I’ll just ask you to monitor in the lab.

YuRia caught her breath and inhaled.
You’re angry. Dr. Lee also helps me unintentionally.
When her phone hangs up, Yuria watches her phone with her bewildered face.

“What is this…”

Pretending not to know anything, I asked Yuria.

“Why? What was that sound again?”

“Father, I have an urgent appointment, so I’m going somewhere. Go home first. Did you know?”

“Ah, I see.”

Seeing my flustered appearance, YuRia, who smiled as if telling me not to worry, hurriedly ran somewhere.
It’s time for me to become Song Ji-hyeok.
Busy busy
She transformed into a deserted alley and turned on her cell phone, which had been turned off, to find two missed calls from the doctor.
It seems that the doctor contacted me immediately after calling YuRia.
Sehwa will be there in advance.
I made my way out of the alley while calling the doctor.

**

Inside a fighter jet flying over the Canadian Rockies.
After roughly passing the doctor’s scolding for why I turned off the phone, I looked at Leona, who had arrived in Canada via the portal, through the monitor.
She, who was wearing the Beast Slayer suit before becoming Evil Valkyrie, was standing still and staring at her monster.
That big lion monster that I made right before I died at the secret base.
Seeing this, the doctor frowned.

“What are you doing? Why are you still?”

It’s because I don’t want to kill my cute pet.

-Is that monster still standing still? I’m just licking my palms.

As the saying goes, the lion monster was licking its front paws, which were as tall as a man.
It’s because the wound from Sehwa is sore.
He even dug the snow-covered solid ground and put his other foot in, making a languid expression as if he had come to a hot spring.
When he saw Leona, he even begged for her sympathy with his slender eyes.

The doctor, who was not paying attention to the behavior of such a cute lion monster, turned on a blank laugh.

“It’s a monster.”

-I know.

“But why aren’t you killing me…”

-What if it’s a good monster?

The doctor’s face darkened.
Leona’s tone was cold, so the word ‘kind monster’ made me dumbfounded.
The doctor, who had been silent for a moment, became angry.

“Are you kidding me!?”

-…..

“Right now…”

I, who was sitting in the cockpit, raised one hand to dissuade the doctor.
Then he spoke to Leona in a cold tone.

“Separate public and life.”

No matter how much you hate the doctor, it meant that you should act straight when you are outside.

-Ah Okay…

Leona nodded in a frightened voice and jumped into the sky after rolling on the snow.
Then she swung her sword at the lion’s neck as she stared at her.

Slow-!

That was it. The end of the cute lion monster.
I couldn’t even scream.
Leona, who watched for a while as the red blood was spreading on the snow-covered upper level, rode the portal linked to the device and entered the fighter.

Fire!

Her transformation was released and she returned to Sehwa.
The doctor was angry at Sehwa.

“Do you have any thoughts on Annie? What? A good monster? What do you mean Tyrat kindly opened the gate and let it out?”

Se-hwa was furious at those words.
But soon he noticed me and lowered his eyes.

“I’m sorry… Joo… No, Jihyeok… I feel bad because I fought a lot…”

Fought? That’s a pretty good excuse. Might have to do with the fact that I left my phone off.
The doctor’s expression softened slightly.
It is clear that she also thought about the phone I just had.

“Ha… Even so, as Song said, you have to distinguish between public life and life. Why are you so immature?”

If it stays longer, Sehwa might get angry and cut off the doctor’s head.
I got up from my seat and interrupted the two of them.

“Stop it. Let’s go back.”

At my persuasion, the doctor let out a sigh that came from deep inside, and sat down without scolding Sehwa any more.
She presses her temples as if her head is pounding.
After silently incinerating the lion, I grabbed the steering wheel and turned.

When we arrived at the Korean laboratory, we met YuRia, who was waiting for us while biting her nails.

Yuria, who strode towards the doctor who was looking serious, argued about this incident.

“Doctor. Why did you leave me out?”

“Simple. Because the device isn’t charging.”

“Ha…”

Yoo Gu-mu-eon. There’s nothing to say Even though I gave it quite a bit of time, I’m still in the same place.

The doctor asks

“Did you monitor it? What do you think of this monster?”

“It’s the first monster I’ve ever seen. There were so many scars… I don’t know why.”

“Okay. Song and Sehwa did a good job, now go back.”

The doctor who spat out words like a rapid-fire gun went into my room.
YuRia asked SaeHwa when the doctor’s atmosphere seemed unsatisfactory.

“Why are you here?”

“I don’t know.”

“Why are you again? The tone is cold. Did you change your makeup too? You want to change your style?”

“Sister, talk later. I’m tired, so I’ll go back first.”

“Uh? Yea, I got it.”

Saehwa nodded to YuRia and walked past me and left the lab.
Great. Right after I told them to distinguish between public and private, they did a great job.
I tried to go back and scold him severely, but he let me go.

“Why is Sehwa like that? Did you fight with the doctor…?”

I shrugged my shoulders at YuRia’s bewildered question.

“I didn’t fight with the doctor, I had a big fight with me. When did you arrive at the lab?”

“Right after the monster died. By the way, you argued…?”

“Yes. That’s not the problem, the fact that the monster appeared after a while is proof that Tyrat has started its activities again… YuRia-san seems to have to prepare as well.”

“If you are ready…”

“Device. You know? I heard you told Sehwa that he would handle it on his own. But if you haven’t charged yet…”

YuRia bit her lower lip.
I want to defeat Tyrat, but it seems that I am annoyed by Aether’s characteristics.

“I don’t want to rush it, but I can’t help it.”

“Yes… I will charge it as soon as possible. And… Mr. Jihyeok.”

“Yes?”

“Do you love Sehwa?”

“Of course.”

“What if… What if something happened and Ji-hyeok slept soundly for three years, but when he woke up, Se-hwa didn’t remember you?”

Are you asking me for this advice? Hmm… I didn’t expect this.
Just as I was fiddling with my chin, YuRia smiled awkwardly.

“Was it a bit of a bad question in a fight situation? Sorry.”

“It is not. I thought about it because it was an interesting question. Do memories come back later? Or are you never coming back?”

“Think of it as the latter.”

You’re assuming the worst case.
Great. I’ll dilute your guilt a little by giving you the answer you want.

“I will approach you. To fall in love again.”

“What if Sehwa meets someone else in the meantime?”

You care about the ring. Don’t you worry?

“If that happens, we need to be more aggressive.”

“More active? Could it be that I am being too selfish?”

“Everyone is like that. It was a passionate love, but it broke down in an instant, and the lover goes to someone else? I don’t want to open my eyes and see.”

“…. Okay.”

“Then why are you asking this question?”

YuRia patted her wrist.
It sounds awkward to say.

“I will tell you later. Thank you for your reply.”

“Was it helpful?”

“Quite a bit.”

“That’s fortunate. Let’s just go in.”

“Thanks for your efforts. I hope you reconcile well with Sehwa.”

I shook my head and left the lab.
To celebrate re-instilling my obsession with charging my device, I’m going to do an experiment.
I’ll sprinkle the seasoning of immorality, so look forward to dawn today, Yuria.
I’m going to be very sad, so I’m ready to comfort you.

Returning to Kim Tae-gon, I collected high-alcohol alcohol from the convenience store.
