Chapter 491 – Switching Weapons (1)

“Can I ask what kind of relationship you have with Sihee?”

“… ‘Our’ Sihee?”

Lulucia’s voice calling out to her so clearly that it was inconceivable that Sihee had blocked her approach.

At the question that sounded as if it were provoking her, Do Ye-hee had no choice but to stop for a moment and turn back to the saint.

Someone I decided to contact at least once anyway. There was no reason to turn down the opportunity for the other party to approach me first.

This was the moment when I felt her strange competitive spirit as she so shamelessly referred to her younger sister as ‘our’ Sihee.

“Sihee, the saintess and I would like to talk. Would you please move out of the way?”

“Tsk…”

It wouldn’t have mattered if it was just a matter of pretending to be Do Ye-hee, but no matter how much braver Do Hee-hee was than before, she couldn’t refuse Lulucia’s request.

She quietly pulled her body away so that Lulu Xia and Do Yehee could face each other.

Do Ye-hee made eye contact with Lulu Sia and continued her self-introduction as if competing in her strange parts.

“Nice to meet you, Holy Lady of the Vatican. I am Do Ye-hee, an A+ grade earth mage. “The relationship between her older sister and younger brother is a bit estranged from ‘our’ Sihee.”

“Aha, you and Sihee are sisters~!”

“No! “I never thought of that kind of girl as my sister!”

“Uh, yes, yes?”

“What you think is not important, Sihee. “What I need now is to explain to you so that you do not misunderstand the objective relationship between you and me that the saint asked about.”

“Tsk…”

“…”

Do-hee-hee is left speechless by Do-ye-hee’s correct opinion and quietly swallows what she wants to say.

After seeing her like that and feeling that she still had more to learn, Do Ye-hee went on to introduce herself to the Vatican saint.

“As you can see, their relationship is a bit tight, but they are definitely related by blood. And contrary to what ‘our’ Sihee thinks of me, I don’t have any hard feelings towards ‘our’ Sihee.”

“Do not be ridiculous… ! If you didn’t have any ill feelings toward me, how would you explain what you’ve done to me so far… !”

“Haaa, Sihee, please. “It’s in front of the saint.”

Sisters from the Dokyung group who talk half self-introduction and half sisterly fight.

Lulucia, who was watching her in silence, began to quietly mutter something to herself.

“Family… Sisters… Fight…”

“The only thought in my head was to somehow weaken my power! Do you like the position of successor that much? “You’re crazy about power!”

“So, how many times have you said that creating a power based on your own eyes only lowers the value of you and Do-kyung…”

“You can’t fight… Fighting is bad…”

“… “Saint?”

“… Lulucia?”

A saintess muttering a few words as if possessed by something.

Do-hee and Do-ye-hee, who felt strange about Lulucia’s reaction, approached her and carefully observed her reaction.

While the two people were distracted watching the saintess’ reaction, Lulucia’s hands suddenly grabbed one of the two people’s hands.

“Well, we’re all going out together!”

“… Yes?”

“Uh…”

Not only Do Si-hee but also Do Ye-hee reacted a little embarrassed to her remarks and actions that appeared in a truly out-of-context situation.

Saint Lulucia paid no attention to the two people’s reactions and began to walk in front of her, holding the arms of her group sisters.

“Because there is no silver star~! Instead, today the three of us are going out together!”

“Now, wait a minute, Lulucia. I have no intention of acting like this woman… !”

“No~! We are all going together today! Because I decided that way~!”

“…”

“Sisters shouldn’t fight with each other~! Sihee and Yehee, let’s be close friends from now on~!”

How long have you known each other and are you pretending to be friendly, calling your name casually?

She thought that she had met many different types of people until now, but this Vatican saint was the first type of person that even Do Ye-hee had encountered.

Based on the time since she started her hunter life, she was the second person to embarrass herself.

The first, of course, was Kim Seong-cheol.

“Next time, be careful when swinging your sword.”

“Thank you…”

After finishing my temporary job as a therapist in the company’s recovery room.

After finishing the last treatment for the hunter I was waiting for, I slowly settled down and got up in the recovery room.

“Thank you for your effort.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Hunter Seong Taekyung.”

I also said goodbye to other guild employees working in the treatment room.

After tidying up a little consciously, I went out of the recovery room and headed straight to the lobby on the first floor of the company.

I think of the faces of my two younger sisters who are probably waiting for me to get off work by now.

“Ah, brother!”

Not long after I left the recovery room, Jinah Han recognized me in the company lobby and waved.

Han Seon-ah also made eye contact with me and looked like she was waiting for me to approach her.

“Are you done now, brother?”

Suna was also waiting for me, looking up at me with eyes that seemed to have swayed strongly from side to side if her fox tail had been out right now.

I patted the heads of Jin-ah and her Seon-ah, who had been waiting for me to get off work, with both hands and made her nod.

“Yeah, you’ve been waiting a long time, right?”

“Oh, no! We also just came out of the dungeon… ?”

“If it’s just waiting for you, it’s not a waste to spend the whole day.”

Jin-ah, who catches my attention with lies that are obvious to anyone, and Seon-ah, who expresses her affection for me with straight-forward remarks without hesitation.

Either way, they were cute and attractive little sisters to me.

Even if I were given a weapon worth millions of won each, I wouldn’t feel like it was a waste at all.

Literally. There was no other reason why they waited for me to get off work today.

It’s been a week since I last requested a custom weapon from Areum’s workshop.

This time, it was time to give my two younger sisters proper customized weapons.

“Let’s go, guys. “It’s been a week now, so I need to go to the workshop and finish re-adjusting the weapon.”

“Huh!”

“Yes, brother.”

… Of course, readjustment is just an excuse, and in reality it would be an act closer to replacement.

How will the two people accept Areum’s custom-made weapon without them noticing?

Even as I was walking from the office to the workshop, my mind was only thinking about that part.

Arumi’s Dwarf Workshop, The Spark of Creation.

After joining Min-ah and her two younger sisters in the guild lobby, we walked together to Areum’s workshop without hesitation.

To finally give these younger brothers a ‘proper weapon’ by my standards.

The main goal of the day was to retrieve the spear and claw that Jin-ah and Sun-ah were currently using temporarily and give them custom-made spears and claws.

… I’m not sure if these kids will accept the new weapon without question.

‘If possible, I think it would be best to just give it to them and say it’s a simple replacement.’

If I were to say out loud that it was a custom-made weapon made by a dwarven craftsman, my two younger sisters would probably be crushed by the pressure.

Of all the many aspects of my older sister, Han Min-ah, these kids have inherited one thing in common.

It was difficult to imagine that he would react indifferently to receiving weapons worth nearly millions of won each.

So the plan I came up with was a plan to change things up under the pretense of maintenance.

The strategy I came up with was to pretend to inspect the existing weapon and exchange it for a new weapon.

Since the younger sisters have already received the existing weapons without much resistance, switching to a different weapon under the pretext of maintenance will also work well.

If you asked if it was clearly a different weapon, all you had to do at that time was make the excuse that it was a different weapon of similar price.

‘If Areum just makes a reasonable excuse and follows her words, she will somehow be able to get away with it.’

I had talked to Areum in advance, so I didn’t have any worries.

In the first place, the reason I wanted to give them proper weapons wasn’t because I wanted to be patronized or condescended to by my younger sisters.

I just didn’t want to see them get hurt or do something wrong without me.

Since I’ve known Minah since she was in middle school, Jinah and Seonah were almost as precious to me as my younger sisters.

… Of course, a typical older brother and younger sisters wouldn’t get along, and they wouldn’t give her their virginity as a graduation gift.

That part was all an act I did out of love and affection for the two people, so in fact, wouldn’t it be possible to see it as being included in the category of familial love?

Of course, they weren’t actually a blood-related family.

While we were thinking about how to change the weapon to a better one without these kids noticing, the three of us arrived at Areum’s workshop.

Perhaps thanks to the fact that I sent a text message in advance to say when I would be arriving, Areum came out and greeted the two of us while sitting at the counter for the first time in a long time.

“Uh, sister, wow, are you here? “Why are you coming in so quickly?”

“Uh, yes.”

“Oh, hello.”

“Hello, Mr. Areum.”

I think it was almost the first time that Areum was at the counter when I entered the store.

As she entered the store with her younger siblings, Areum began to open her mouth to me and her younger sisters in a slightly urgent voice.

The words that came out of her mouth and her attitude… It was an awkward performance that could be recognized even with just a glance.

“Well, those younger brothers changed their weapons… Oh, no, it was time to tinker with weapons? “I’ll take care of it right away, so come on!”

“…”

“… ?”

“… ?”

Not only me, but even Jin-ah and Sun-ah seem to be noticing something strange.

It was the moment when I had an intuition that the twins’ weapon replacement plan would not work out well.
