Chapter 296 – Red Shoes Cuties (3)

“Wow.”
“Oh my goodness.”

When the story of me defeating the hunters came out at the cafe, the women looked at me and exclaimed.
But up to that point, I was lucky enough to meet Hunter and understand that things went well.
The women seemed to think so too.

But when it came out that the agency was being attacked right away.

I could see the women’s bodies leaning toward Han So-yeon as if they were about to be sucked into them.
No wonder.
Because their fate is determined by the outcome of that work.

“…Our contract was invalid from the beginning. We are free now, boys.”

“Wow!!”

In the small room, the girls cheered as if they were about to leave.
The sound was so loud that I knocked on the wall in the next room. A boyish girl with short hair slammed the wall with her foot and shouted.

“Okay, don’t knock!”

Was it really this tough?
I wouldn’t normally do this, but I could tell that I was very immersed in Han So-yeon’s story.

“So, did this person defeat all the hunters and help us get released from the company?”

A girl with a glamorous body in the most feminine image said.

“Yes.”

Han So-yeon smiled and replied as if she was proud.

“Ah…”

Although they were girls with distinct personalities, I was always moved by this part.

There must be a limit to the motions that can be done because the space is cramped, but they all bowed to me in one motion.

“Thank you!”
“I don’t know how to repay this favor.”
“If you set up an agency, we will volunteer for free for 10 years.”

I was confused about who the agency and 10 years of free service came from.
However, no one disputed her words.

The short-haired girl suddenly realized something and asked Han So-yeon.

“Aren’t they retaliating? She’s not the only Hunter the boss is close with.”
“Do not worry.”

I answered that question instead.

“Because I took care of everything yesterday.”
“Treatment?”

I didn’t say more.
I don’t think there’s any need to tell these girls that they killed people.

“Oh, what should I do? I am so happy!”

When the girly girl cried and said, everyone hugged each other as if they had promised.
I don’t know who started the crying, but when one of them started crying, everyone started to cry together.
The sound was as loud as the cheering earlier, but the neighbors didn’t say anything more.

I let them enjoy themselves fully.
Han So-yeon hugged them and continued to shed tears of her joy.

‘Yes?’

Suddenly, my eyes were opened to a strange phenomenon.
Han So-yeon was holding her girls with her arms wide open, light radiating from her body and palms.
This phenomenon usually happened when mana was expressed.

I wondered why this suddenly happened.
So-yeon Han’s ability has not yet been revealed, but she first thought that maybe she had something to do with it.

As I watched, the light from Han So-yeon grew stronger and stronger.
The light went over to the girls.
Each of the girls’ bodies shone softly.

The first to catch the anomaly was a girl with a robot-like appearance.

“Uh? Are we a little weird?”
“What?”

The girls stopped crying and broke the hug.

“Uh? Really? The light shines from your body.”
“Does it come from your body too?”

They were bewildered by the strange phenomenon.
However, when Han So-yeon released her embrace, the light soon disappeared from her body and from the girls’ bodies.

“What was it?”
“What is this…”

All the girls’ eyes were on me.
As if it was me who caused this.

I was shocked in another sense.
Obviously, all the girls in this room, except me and Han So-yeon, were not hunters.
Since he wasn’t even a normal Awakener, he had no room to look into the hidden mana.

But now…

‘How did this happen?’

There was a slight mana response from all the girls.

I shifted her gaze to Han So-yeon.
I had experienced a lot about the strange abilities of hunters so far, but this was the first time.

Han So-yeon awakened all these girls.
It’s hard to say that he’s a Hunter yet.
However, it was enough to say that he was a normal Awakener.

‘What is this…’

“Why is that, brother?”
“No, nothing.”

It still seemed like it would take some time to sort this out.
It may be a temporary phenomenon, but I didn’t want to cause a commotion with useless talk.

“I think it’s too small for everyone to be together here. Shall we move?”

I said to all the girls.

“If we move places…”
“Where are you?”

“Let’s go to the hotel first. We celebrate there and discuss future events there.”

The word hotel made the girls wary.
They gave attention to Han So-yeon, whom she relied on like her older sister.

“Okay, let’s do that.”
“Wow!!”

When Han So-yeon smiled and said, everyone cheered at once.

I got two more hotel rooms that I’m staying at now.
Originally, we were going to book a room according to the number of people, but the girls stubbornly refused.
There was also a reason that it was burdensome if I spent too much money, and I said that I felt lonely when I was alone because I basically lived together.

I really thought he was right.

I got two more rooms like that, but somehow everyone ended up in my room.

It was natural, as we all had something to celebrate together.

It wasn’t until I got back to the hotel that I was formally introduced to the girls.
It must have been a famous idol group in its own right, but I didn’t even know its existence, so of course I didn’t know the member names either.

I was introduced in turn, and the names were as follows.

The smallest and cutest girl’s name is Arin Lee.
And the name of a girl with bobbed hair and a boyish impression is Kim Ji-yu.
Sua is a feminine and glamorous girl.
Lastly, the girl with a robot-like impression was Choi Ji-an.

I asked the reason because the name was pretty like Hana, and the representative of the agency said that her active name was changed to a new name.
She wondered if she needed to go that far, but when she recalled that the representative she had already met turned around and was a villain, she couldn’t think of it in line with common sense.

Regardless of what the old name was, everyone seemed happy with the new name anyway.
Although she was affiliated with an evil agency, she was given this name anyway and nurtured her dreams.
She said that she is more comfortable with her new name now because she also has memories with her fans.

The more she went through, the more likable the kids were for not being like a celebrity.
I felt bitter because I wondered if I had been able to endure it until now because they were such nice kids.

Food was laid out naturally and music was played loudly, creating a party atmosphere.
From these girls’ point of view, I was a child, but enjoying the same space together felt like healing itself.
Wouldn’t that be what all Red Shoes fans wanted?
Although it’s ironic that I, who was not a fan and didn’t even know this group existed, enjoys such a luxury.

It was when I went to get a drink after spending time together without thinking about it.
A girl with a feminine image, that is, Soo-ah, secretly followed me.

“Can I take it myself?”

Since she had already spoken with Han So-yeon, who was in the position of the older sister, she became comfortable talking with everyone.

No matter how many drinks he brought, his hands were never short.
Because I have an inventory.
I wondered why Sua had followed me even though she should have already known that.

After glancing at the other girls, she asked me in a coy voice.

“Brother. Did you sleep with your sister?”
“Yes?”

I was hardened like a stone.
I was hanging out with a pure feeling, but I never thought that I would suddenly be asked this question.

When I didn’t say anything and stayed still, Jung Soo-ah nodded her head as if she understood.

“You only had one room. She must have been with her sister the whole time. I understand. I understand…”

Sua added while touching her chin.

“It’s a strange thing. Until now, my sister had been morbidly keeping away from men. Of course, the fans liked it as a fan, but that and this are different. But the fact that she ended up like that with the first man she met…”

It seemed that he had tentatively concluded that he had sex with me.
It wasn’t the mood to make excuses or lie.
Because not all situations and atmospheres could be like that.
As she left the hotel room, Han So-yeon was so happy that she didn’t even remove her clothes.
If you look at the woman’s naked clothes, of course you can easily guess what happened.

“I didn’t mean to go that far…”

Actually it was.
At first, she didn’t know that Han So-yeon was a regular Awakener and that she had been exposed to the ability to ‘like for no reason’.

“It’s okay.”

Jeongsuah smiled brightly and slapped my shoulder.

“If it’s your brother, admit it.”

She said that, and as if the matter was over, “Whoop whoop.” She was the one who smiled and disappeared.
