Chapter 148 – Come Home, With Abby.

“What about the bird?”
“Ruler.”

I put Sae-ah, who was asleep in the room, and came out to the living room and sat down on the sofa again.
Future fabrication.
If someone knew about it, they would kidnap it and try to use it, or it was a dangerous ability that kept them away from themselves.

“So, what was the method that made you so impatient?”

I guess I was pretty curious.
Normally, he would have waited for me to tell him.
But as soon as I sat down, I heard the guy’s voice asking, “Hmm.”

“In fact, it’s pretty nonsensical if you don’t think it’s common sense.”

Future manipulation is such an ability.
The probabilities of the situation could be chewed up and thrown away.

“Joowon, what would it be like if you could change the future as you wish?”
“Do I want the future?”
“Yeah. For example, something like the Astarte family making sure we don’t get sick.”

Did Kim Joo-won find it quite surprising?
When I mentioned the Astarte family and said that they might not come to us, his eyes fluttered in an instant.

“You have that ability…?”

Nod
Respond with a nod of the head instead of a voice.

“But, saying this doesn’t mean that there is a reason for worrying about writing.”
“Huh.”
“Is the penalty severe?”
“I guess I’ll have to match the cause and effect.”

Float a cube created with your Phasing ability above your hand and show it to him.
Numbers are engraved on each side, and then the words are passed on to Kim Joo-won.

“My ability changes the future in the desired direction, but also forcibly matches the causalities that must follow.”
“…Okay?”
“The problem is, should I match the cause and effect in an unexpected place?”

Suddenly, the cube breaks in your hand.
At that time, the connection between me and the two-dimensional space was temporarily cut off, just like I did to catch Lee Seo-ha.
Even though it was a short 5-minute lockdown, Kim Joo-won let out a small sigh at the phenomenon that directly showed that he had lost control.

“I manipulated the future to lock the gap between reality and my two-dimensional space in order to catch Lee Seo-ha.
“You also?”
“As you know, my dimensional ability is actually the only one that accesses the 2D space. But I must have shared the same space as her.
“So, how did you win?”
“How to win.”

He raised his fist at Kim Joo-won, who was curious.
Neither I nor the opponent can use the ability, and if there is no weapon.

“I won with this.”
“… With a fist?”
“What, are you dissatisfied?”

At that moment, various subtle emotions passed through Kim Joo-won’s expression.
Most of them probably look pretty ignorant.

“Seoha, you’re really…”

Perhaps that was the last chance.
If I had created Seo-Hara Lee, then she would have prepared a countermeasure for the same situation and rushed at me.

“Shut up,”
“If it were me, I would have been embarrassed and couldn’t have done anything.”
“If you say more, I will hit you.”

I coughed at the guy’s words.
At the time, both of them had their abilities blocked, so I acted like that thinking I could do something about it.
If you think about it now, the method of hitting him with a punch was truly ignorant.

“Anyway, I don’t know how they’ll try to match cause and effect like that, so I can’t use it because I’m scared.”
“Hmm. It sure sounds scary after hearing it.”
“Isn’t that right?”
“Let’s put that on hold for now. We don’t know what will happen yet.”

I nodded at Kim Joo-won’s words.
If you can do it, it’s better to have a sure way than an uncertain way.

“Well, we’re civilians right now, so we’re not going to let the state touch us. It’s a different story if they come under the surface from there.”
“Whoa. But if you didn’t kill me…”
“Maybe we’re dead. That bitch was that crazy bitch.”

I raised my head.
Saying that Kim Joo-won is a crazy bitch, I’m sure he will.
Then, what thoughts does he have when he sees me with the same appearance?

“Why?”

Kim Joo-won asked me if I was staring too hard.
After answering that it was nothing, I got up and headed towards the window.
If it were a novel, I would have been able to develop it comfortably according to the probabilities that I could see.

‘It’s frustrating.’

I didn’t know what my reality would be like, so I thought it would be so uncomfortable to have to stay like this.
At that moment, I turned my head to the voice calling from the guy next to me, saying “It’s Seoha.”

“Did you call?”
“Huh?”

When I picked up the phone, a number I had never seen before appeared on the screen.
It was the moment when I answered the phone without thinking and said, “Hello.”

– Are you standing?

A man’s voice came over the phone.
However, it wasn’t Mincheol’s voice.
If he’s close, maybe, then he’s the one he’s seen once.
Should I say that it was close to Lee Seo-ha’s father’s voice?

“Father?”

I was surprised and hurriedly answered the phone.
Why did you call me directly?

– Still, wasn’t it a bit too much not to save Abby’s phone number?

Maybe it was a bit sad that I didn’t recognize him right away, but soon the sound of Bolmen came over the phone.
I don’t see anyone, but I’m a person who doesn’t remember.

“I had a phone break the other day…”

It was when I met Seoha Lee.
After explaining at least a little, a small sigh came from the other side of the phone saying, “Is that so?”
I think Seo-yeon said that Seo-ha Lee had a fight with her father and left her house.

– It’s nothing else, I called to see if you’re doing well.
“I’m doing just fine.”

If we hadn’t been on good terms, I would have called with such a worried voice.
Leaving the house at that time was also a matter of whether or not Lee Seo-ha became a guardian, so she wouldn’t have to fight anymore.

– I’m glad you’re doing well.

However, to me now, no matter how much I am a father in the setting, I still feel uncomfortable feeling like a stranger to me.
But, fortunately, I was about to hang up the phone with a sigh of relief.

– Come home sometime.
“Yes?”

Until I heard a bomb drop from his mouth.
It was me who went home with my baby in my arms the other day with my heart racing.
But.

– With that boy.
“Uh…”
– You said Kim Joo-won, right?

Something similar to House Astarte, or something bigger, was taking its toll on us.
He should be like that, but now the emotional goal with him has been sealed to some extent due to this and that.

– I’ll be waiting for you.

Because that guy and I were, on the surface, a relationship between a victim and perpetrator of sexual violence.
When she hung up the phone and turned her head to her side, even Kim Joo-won, who had heard her contents, was looking at me with an angry expression.

*

“I’m called Kim Jong-ho, the manager of Chunghwa Academy. Excuse me, but are you sure you were allowed to visit in advance?”

In front of Tsinghua Academy.
The janitor stood up with an annoyed expression on his face at the line of black cars occupying the road.
Although they said that a guest would come today, they hadn’t been informed that this many cars would come.

“Hello. This is the Astarte family, who requested permission to visit in advance.”

When the female secretary got out of the car and presented her visitor pass, the manager briefly exchanged the information written on the visitor pass with the row of black cars.
I hadn’t been informed that so many would come.
At first glance, the number of more than 10 generations was momentarily irritated in the manager’s mind.

“Hey, I’m sorry, but the contents I received from my visit today were all three cars…”
“Oh, of course. Inside the academy, as we said beforehand, only three of our vehicles will enter.”
“Then the rest of the vehicles…”
“Since it’s our bodyguard, it won’t go far, so it’s probably going around the academy.”
“Please wait a moment.”

How could there be such an incompetent person?
Pressing the heat rising from inside Kim Jong-ho entered his office and called the general affairs team.

It was actually quite rude.
Originally, if there were so many escort vehicles, permission would have to be obtained in advance.
But, of course, due to safety concerns, the academy will not allow such a large number of vehicles to enter.

“The rest of the security vehicles have an empty parking lot over there, so you can park them there temporarily.”
“I’m a bodyguard, can I stay that far away?”
“We have been informed that only 3 vehicles with prior permission can be parked in front of the campus, so please cooperate.”

However, what angered Kim Jong-ho more than anything else was the secretary’s careless tone.
Originally, the subject of committing something that would be quite rude, he said while looking down at himself.

“I see. The academy is a bit inflexible, isn’t it?”

But what can I do?
Right now, they are guests, and I am just a janitor at the academy.
Kim Jong-ho swallowed the anger that was rising inside him and began to guide them into the academy.

“This is Cheonghwa Academy.”
“Hmm. I think the academy run by my family is better, but what do you think?”
“I agree, Head of the House.”
“Why did Bella come here and do such a thing… Tsk.”

Even the moment they entered the academy, they did not stop talking down to the academy.
