Chapter 396 – Upgrade Kang Ah Jin (3)

Kang Ah-jin and I happily opened the door.
Then, when she saw the man standing in front of her, she was startled.

“Ah!”

The little girl was spying on the room she was in, but after she bumped into me, she screamed again.
She rubs her forehead over and over again, even though it won’t hurt much.

“Why are you here?”
“What did you do? Just the two of you?”

Choi Ji-an looked up at me and asked seriously.
She didn’t say anything because she wanted him to be jealous, but she looked around the room with her suspicious eyes.

“Has anyone been there before?”

It looked like a ghost was about to sing.
I thought I knew why this situation happened.
Kang A-jin and I moved the room to another dimension with magic and had sex.

It must have been that Choi Ji-an came to this room looking for us and was startled to see that no one was there.

She furrowed her brow as if thinking of something of her own, then said abruptly.

“Incantation! Right?”
“Yes.”

She was also a smart kid.
I stroked her hair

“Can my brother and I go to another world with magic?”

Her eyes twinkled as if they were stuck on something. I couldn’t give an answer to this question right away.
Where the hell do you want to go?

“Rather than that, I’m going to set up a barrier from now on, would you like to come with me?”
“Barrier?”
“Yeah, as you know, there are a lot of troubles these days. That’s why I’m trying to protect this house.”
“Ah~”

Choi Ji-an’s expression was unimpressive, but she nodded her head anyway.

“Let’s go, Mr. Ajin.”

I said to Kang Ah-jin, who was standing behind me with a slightly embarrassed expression.
She looked like a teacher caught having an affair with her parents.

I went out to the veranda with Kang Ah-jin and Choi Ji-an.
All the other girls went to bed, so I didn’t see them.

It’s on the top floor and the location is good, so the view was really good.
The night wind blowing rather strongly felt pleasant.

If this is enough, it seems to cover all ranges.

Kang Ah-jin floated the amulet in the air.

Flutter flutter flutter

Seeing the amulets floating in the air, Choi Ji-an gave an exclamation of “Ohhh”.

Then Kang A-jin’s order began.
I put my hand on her back.
It was Kang Ah-jin’s order, but I also contributed to drawing her amulet.
The mana of the two people blended together, and the amulet began to emit a strong light.

Whiik-

The amulet that flew quickly settled down and started spinning around the top floor of the apartment.
Like a satellite.

Like her spell, Jin Kang opened her arms! And a strong wave emanated from her amulet.
It formed a wide-ranging protective film with two layers, the front and the front.
The outer one was blue, and the inner one was slightly reddish.
It was very beautiful to see the two things harmonize and spread, and the moonlight reflected there.

“Wow~~”

Choi Ji-an finally made an expression of sincere admiration.

The barrier that had been installed slowly disappeared in the air.
It would normally remain transparent and function on its own when needed.

“Thank you, Mr. Ajin.”
“What…”

I said to Choi Ji-an, who had her mouth wide open.

“This is witchcraft. You are a witch from now on. You will learn well from your sister, right?”
“Yeah!”

Having a lot of rooms in the house was also a big plus.
Even with so many women in the same house, there was no need to share a bed.
Of course, the Red Shoes members seemed to be sleeping together in groups of two or three, but anyway, me, Ajin Kang, and Kaori were able to use separate beds.

Despite doing so many things yesterday, I woke up early as if I had an alarm inside my body.
This tendency seems to have grown after a hardware upgrade a while ago.

I stretched out and went out to the living room, and suddenly I saw a person standing there.
He was wearing a long shirt and was wearing only underwear on the lower half of his body.
It was hard to see because it was worn under his shirt, but anyway, his bare skin was exposed up to the top of his thighs.

The woman with a nice silhouette was standing on the veranda.
Holding a cup of coffee in her hand.

There was only one person who would do something like this.
The Red Shoes members felt like they were too young to enjoy coffee from early morning, and Kang A-jin seemed to be getting enough sleep for her own physical strength.

“What are you doing?”

I asked Kaori and she turned around with her surprised face.

“You got up early.”
“Yes, I’m not too old, but I wake up by myself in the morning.”
“That is proof that Sunggi-nim is an excellent hunter. I have a lot of energy, so I don’t need to sleep much.”
“I think the same goes for Kaori.”

At my words, Kaori gave a gentle smile.

“It’s thanks to Sunggi. Her occasional headaches are gone. And I feel that my insides are filled with more energy than before.”
“Um, I’m glad.”

Kaori asked as she stared into the void.

“Did you set up a barrier?”
“Did you know?”
“Yes, Tadanobu also has a shaman. I’ve seen them set up barriers many times.”

Tadanobu.
Now that the bomb in Kaori’s head had been removed, she could ask about it.
But I decided to discuss the matter more slowly.
If there were signs of something, it seemed that it would come out in a different way.
Either approach Kaori first, or be brought up as a diplomatic matter.

Diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan deteriorated because of the broadcast on Choi Ji-an’s YouTube channel.
It was natural.
Because Japan has blatantly revealed its ambition to devour Korea.
In addition, the Korean public now pointed to Japan as the culprit behind the disappearance of Korean S-class hunters, including Cho Dong-geun.
In many ways, Japan was also driven into a corner.
It was either quiet or reactive or both.

There’s no need to break the good mood of the morning by bringing up the story.

“It is a really great barrier. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful barrier.”

Kaori said, extending her hand into the air and closing her eyes.
The barrier was now in stealth mode, so there was no way it could be seen.
She was just feeling it.
You may not be able to see all of the mana like I do, but the way you feel it will tell you how well the barrier was built.
It is a solid and flawless barrier.
I knew that well because I was with Kang A-jin where he drew the talisman and set up the barrier.

Kaori, who had felt something with her hand outstretched in the air, opened her eyes and said.

“I am going to visit my friend today. Would you like to go with me?”
“A friend of the alchemist?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you okay? I heard she is wary of strangers.”
“Anyone who is important to me will understand. Seonggi-sama is also interested in being an alchemist, right?”
“Yeah, are you curious? If you can awaken ordinary people, that would be groundbreaking.”
“Yes. I regret that he lives as a hermit. He must be the best alchemist in the world.”

The best in the world
Kaori was the type to say her things and not exaggerate.
When she says she says she’s the best in the world, she really means she thinks so.
Leaving aside the objective facts, it was clear that she believed so.

“I know. See you.”

Kaori smiled happily at my answer.

After having breakfast with the Red Shoes members and Ajin Kang, I left the house with Kaori.
Kaori contacted her friend Hyunjoo Lee, but she said that she could not come to Seoul right away because of circumstances.
When she saw Kaori’s serious face on the phone, she seemed to have something wrong with Lee Hyeon-joo.

I was like that when I was a general awakener, but even after becoming a hunter, I only stayed in Seoul.
Even here, I was caught up in a lot of work and flowed without a break, but that’s why I didn’t have a chance to go to another area.
Going to Hongcheon was only for the dungeon raid, and since most of the time was spent only at the hotel, it should be called an exception.
Moreover, it was an area whose population had plummeted due to the appearance of S-class dungeons.
It was a place where no problem could arise.

‘Even if it’s far from Busan.’

So I thought it would be more moody.
I have never driven a long distance since buying a car.
I wanted to feel the feeling of driving on the highway.

Kaori was looking out of her car window with a happy expression.

“How about it? Korea?”

It wasn’t a landscape with anything to see in particular, but Kaori looked happy, so I asked.

“You might think that there is not much difference from Japan, but I really like this place. In Japan, I always felt like I was being chased by something. Even though he was an S-class hunter, he was always under surveillance. I feel free for the first time here. More than anything…”

Kaori looked at me with a calm gaze.

“Because Seonggi-nim is there.”
“That’s fortunate. I like Korea.”

It was the first long drive since I bought the car.
The potential of a supercar, I was able to more clearly feel the fun of driving.

It felt like the lyrics of someone’s song.
Feeling rich.

Boaaaaang-
