Chapter 48 – 06. Cohabitation With Retired Warrior Maman
Siu and Soyeong headed to the village along the well-maintained road.
There is a green forest on the right and a wide field on the left.
Walking along the road with a leisurely pace and looking around left and right, it was a scene that refreshed a corner of the mind.
And all of this was made for one person, Han So-young.
Exactly this road they are walking on.
That’s right, the only thing at the end of the road is Han So-young’s mansion.
There is nothing around it except forests and fields. The road also ends at the mansion, and it was only after Han So-young bought the mansion and lived there that this road was maintained. Before that, it was close to a rough terrain that was difficult to navigate properly with a wagon.
‘It’s really amazing to think like that.’
Han So-young was such a great being.
SS rank warrior.
The treatment in the Glazer Empire was at the level of royalty, but it was more than that when going to other countries. A position where an individual can act against the state in reverse. It wasn’t just force, it was the result of several symbols combined.
‘Now it’s just naive… What?’
Siu’s expression hardened.
Han So-yeong, who had been looking around her surroundings and showing an excited expression until just now, didn’t like the look on her face.
Even the slightly pale feeling made it seem like she was suffering from a serious illness to someone who didn’t know.
“Auntie? Are you okay?”
“…Yes. Gwa, it’s okay… Ha, ah…”
“…”
There is no way that Han So-yeong is ill, and it is ridiculous that she is suddenly cursed or poisoned.
Siwoo could only think of one reason why her complexion was pale.
‘This has something to do with the son.’
I don’t know what kind of memory it is, but the reason her face changed, which was good until just now, must be because she remembered her husband or son. Considering that even when I was dating my son, I walked to the village alone, there was a high probability that there was something in this area.
“…Aunt.”
“Uh, huh?”
Siwoo called out to her and held her hand.
The sudden warmth she felt in her hand made So-young wince her body slightly.
“Ah…”
Other than that, Siu didn’t do anything more. He just made her presence known by squeezing her hand. However, even with that alone, Han So-yeong calmed down little by little.
“…Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
“…Thank you so much.”
It was an embarrassingly sincere thank you.
Siwoo nodded her head with her awkward expression and then started walking down her path with her again.
There is a minor problem here.
‘Hand… When should I let go?’
I couldn’t find the time to let go of her hand.
She should have held hands in the same direction, so she could have released them sooner, but holding hands facing each other was a mistake. Thanks to her, I was able to walk down the street while holding her hand. Furthermore, it was a hand-holding that reminded me of a lover, with interlocks on each finger.
I glanced at So-young’s expression, but she didn’t notice her, or maybe this wasn’t a big deal, so she just remained calm.
‘But it seems to me…’
The corners of her mouth were slightly curved.
Still, Siu didn’t say anything.
Not only did her hands feel good, but it wasn’t too difficult to hold hands to match Han So-young’s mood. She could do it all day as long as it made her feel good.
“…”
Han So-young’s hand was thin and warm.
And she was too soft to be a sword wielder’s hand. It was a hand that seemed like she would never have even held a kitchen knife, let alone a weapon.
As I was tasting the feel of her hands as I tightened them up, she opened her mouth.
“…It was like that then too.”
“Uh, yes?”
“Even then… I walked with her holding her hand like this.”
“…”
“As you know, this world is like a reversed world, right? That’s why my son also felt like a daughter. He’s 15 years old. He’s still a very young age. He really liked walking hand in hand with me…”
“…”
I thought I was going to tell the story of my son, but Nishiu was a little embarrassed when he suddenly took it out while holding his hand.
Still, he seemed to be aware that he was holding hands with him. In other words, the act of holding hands gave her a sense of security and at the same time reminded her of pleasant memories with her son. It’s not necessarily a pleasant memory.
“Sorry. Don’t you hate talking like this?”
“No. It’s fine.”
“…Really?”
“Yes. Really.”
“But don’t kids these days hate being compared to other kids?”
“Ah. It’s different from that. And kids these days. What’s with the expression?”
Siwoo deliberately changed the topic by saying something like an expression. Age-related topics that women are sensitive to. Even though So-yeong knew that, she obediently yielded to his intentions.
“That’s because I’m old. How old am I?”
“How many are you?”
“How many months are left until the front seat changes? Whoops.”
Han So-young laughed thinking about her age.
She is 40 years old.
Something felt strange.
Depending on the situation, it is the age to hear the voice of an ajumma, and it is a very sensitive time for women. However, Soyoung did not care much about her age, perhaps because of her looks, not her, and because of her health. She didn’t even know if it was because of her unfinished sadness.
“Time flies so fast. I never thought I’d experience changing the first digit of my age three times in this world.”
“You’ve lived a long time.”
“Isn’t it? I’m a bit older…”
“No, not that.”
“Then?”
“He lived a long time in this world. You became a hero because you were suddenly dragged in, right? There must have been many people who died along the way. It’s so fortunate.”
“Uh?”
“Because I was able to meet Soyoung noona like this.”
“…What? Sister?”
“No? You said your aunt?”
“It’s not… I think he said it was my older sister…”
She tilts her head and chews on her memory from just before.
She was obviously called the older sister. He must have always paid attention to Siwoo’s words.
“Haha. That’s right. I said noona. Actually, just looking at her appearance, noona is closer, right? Besides, since it’s a village, I thought it would be strange to call her aunt.”
“…That’s probably the case too. Probably not many people in that village know my face.”
The village they are heading to is not a closed, nameless village in the countryside with less than 50 households. Even though it was a village, it had quite a lot of furniture and special products, and it had its own developed industry.
Originally, So-yeong did not come to this village often, and even the last visit was a few years ago, so she might not even know that she was a warrior, let alone her identity.
“I’ll call you sister while I’m in town. Is that okay?”
“Yeah. It’s okay. But if you leave, do I have to call you aunt again?”
“All right.”
Seeing her words made Siwoo feel a bit regretful.
Personally, doesn’t the title ‘noona’ stick around more and be considered friendly?
The second thing that her word “Auntie” Was awkward was that it didn’t suit her face too much. Even if anyone sees it, it looks like an older sister, or worse, her younger sister.
Holding her hand, I walked down the street. After a while, I started to see the village, and she came to the fence of the village.
She showed her ID to a young man with a spear who appeared to be a vigilante rather than a guard. It was something she had received in advance from the mansion’s butler. She said it was a free pass to let Han So-young know that she belonged to the mansion. Thanks to this, the two entered the village without incident, instead of having their identities revealed and making a fuss.
“Confirmed. Come in.”
“Oh. That sure sounds good.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
By the time she got closer to the village, Han So-young’s expression was awkward.
Perhaps it was because she was nervous, she put more strength into her gripped hands. Moist sweat broke out along the lines of her palms. Siwoo thought she had spilled it, but it was all Han Soyoung’s.
From her village, holding her hand doesn’t seem to relieve her tension, so she clings to Siu, crossing her arms. Her lightly draped overcoat touched her chest lightly, and she made Shiu nervous.
‘I did a good job of subtracting several feet yesterday…’
It felt soft and strong just by touching it lightly.
She thought she might be in trouble if she hadn’t left out several times her semen as an ingredient for making man juice.
He must have had an erection just by lightly touching his chest with her arm. Not even bare skin. Originally, the phallic power seemed to be getting stronger little by little, but recently the increase was strangely more severe.
‘It would be nice if it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t control it…’
“Shall we go over there?”
“Oh, would you?”
The place Soyoung pointed to was a clothing store.
“You want to buy clothes?”
“No. Siwoo, yours.”
“Yes? Me? No, why suddenly…”
“Just. Wear it later as a hero, not as an adult…”
“…”
Siwoo’s eyebrows twitched.
Maybe this clothing store seemed to be the place she came to with her son three years ago. I felt a bit like a substitute for my son. And it came to mind more clearly the longer the village date went on.
Restaurant, inn, flower shop, etc.
This tendency intensified when I stopped by other shops or looked at the sights around me. Through her words and actions, she showed that she had come with her son at least once. I knew it was an unconscious mistake, but sometimes I was slightly suspicious.
‘… I don’t feel bad though.’
Is it because Han So-young is a beauty?
He liked the way she looked after her son.
Even though he’s retired, he’s the son of an SS-class soldier, and he looked pretty good.
‘Should I ask him to return to active duty after becoming an adopted son…’
If I thought about her carefully, I wondered if even she would go that far.
“Then where is this time…”
“H. Are you a couple? The atmosphere is nice~!”
“…?”
Female delinquents who start a fight out of nowhere.
A group of four women approached them.
I wanted to be evaluated positively, but my looks weren’t outstanding. Even though she was a woman, there were people who had a rough face, and there were people who had a smooth face but had good muscles. Siu reacted coldly to at least two of them who could see an angular spot.
“Go away.”
Flinch.
“…?”
When a man who was not a woman came out with a force instead of being frightened, the girls flinched slightly.
But soon, with a smirk, he approached the two more closely.
“Hey, does our pretty girl have a bit of an angkaljin taste?”
“Yeah, hehe. Don’t play with my little sister over there, let’s play with us, huh?”
At the words of the thugs, Siu turned her head and looked at Soyoung.
She was silently watching the thugs without any reaction. I was worried that maybe the trauma was aggravated by the slightly blank expression on my face.
Observing her face closely, the rolling pupils seemed to be contemplating how to respond. Siwoo, relieved of her, grinned at her and threw her Soyoung at her.
“Did you hear that? It’s the younger sister, older sister.”
“…Yeah. That, is that so? …Hehe.”
Soyoung laughed like a fool.
Few women would dislike being told that she looked young, even if she didn’t care about her age.
“What, wasn’t it your sister? You’re crazy.”
“No, that’s not the point. You bastard. These bastards are ignoring us.”
Unless you were an idiot, you could at least notice that the attitude of the men and women was full of composure. Where is that? There was also a sign that they thought it was no big deal.
Even though they were gangsters in a small town, and they were arguing with couples at requests from others, they also had their own pride. No matter how shallow and insignificant it is.
“These damn kitties…”
Siwoo said while interrupting the thug who seemed to be the captain.
“Hey.”
“Hey?”
“Go away.”
“What? … Ha, are you really a stone kid?”
The giant kneading my fists to make a clattering sound and loosening my hands. I don’t know if it’s a show off or not, but I turned my neck around and even made a bone sound.
‘It’s not good for bones to turn while relieving your throat.’
Siu was full of composure.
If firearms are the best defense against killing opponents on Earth, then there is magic here.
Ugh-
“…Uh?”
“M-Mana…?”
“…Fuck.”
Siwoo’s right hand glows blue with magical energy. Shaking it was the end of the game. Although it had its own size, there was no way there would be a bully in the countryside who could deal with a magic user.
“I’ll give you three.”
“What, what?”
“Three… Two… One… Tsk tsk.”
By the time they counted all three, which were a little shorter than 3 seconds, the front of the two was already pale.
“Then shall we go, sister?”
“Whoops. Is that so, brother?”
It was a minor accident that only lasted a few minutes, but in the meantime, the relationship between the two grew closer.
