Chapter 89 – Serin and Jinseok Are Cracking

My S-class hero sister and childhood friend are taken away. – 89 – Serine and Jinseok causing cracks

“There will be a meeting with Kang Cheon-hu. It is a strategy meeting to attack the Gigantes dungeon. I hope everyone will attend.”

Not long after Se-rin consulted with Mi-yeon, Mi-yeon suddenly told her that she had received a request for a meeting from Kang Cheon-hu. This time she was also talking about conquering the Gigantes dungeon.

“Sister. Well, that’s…”

When Jinseok heard Miyeon’s story, her face turned white. Not only Miyeon but also all members of Team Valkyrie will attend the meeting with Kang Cheon-hoo. To Jinseok, it felt intuitively unpleasant. I felt that Kang Cheon-hoo was targeting not only Miyeon, but also the entire team Valkyrie.

“Jinseok, you don’t need to come.”

Mi-yeon tells Jin-seok, who is feeling her embarrassment, that she suddenly declares that you don’t need to come. It was said in a cold and cold tone, as if trying to ostracize Jinseok.

“Who, sister?!”

Jinseok felt embarrassed by Miyeon’s cold tone of voice. Jinseok was feeling confused by the sudden situation. Miyeon showed that she no longer excludes Jinseok not only from her personal life, but also from her hero activities.

“This is a gathering of S-class heroes only. I don’t need your opinion, so I won’t invite you. If you come, it will only be a distraction.”
“!”

Miyeon’s tone of voice was firm as she looked at Jinseok with her cold eyes. Since Jinseok is a hero with low abilities, he cannot even be allowed to express opinions among S-class heroes. Miyeon’s tone that she was only in the way was shocking to Jinseok.

“Uh, then Kang Cheonhu. With that guy… That’s dangerous.”
“Well, since you’re cooperating with Kang Cheon-hoo, isn’t it natural? You’ve been extremely jealous of me dating Kang Cheon-hoo before. No matter who I’m dating, I have no right to interfere with you.”
“B-but Kang Cheon-hu…”

Mi-yeon tells Jin-seok that her meeting with Kang Cheon-hu is dangerous, but she even criticizes Jin-seok for interfering too much with her. Jin-seok also desperately tried to appeal to Mi-yeon that Kang Cheon-hoo was a dangerous person, but it had no effect at all on Mi-yeon, who had been completely trained by Kang Cheon-hoo.

“No matter how much you feel inferior to the S-class hero Kang Cheon-hoo because you are a B-class hero, it is unseemly to show your inferiority complex too much.”
“Oh, no. Well, something like that…”

Rather, Mi-yeon attacked Jin-seok, asking if he was doing it because of his inferiority complex with Kang Cheon-hu. When Jinseok hit the nail on the head, he was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do. It was true that Jinseok deep down felt inferior to Kang Cheonhoo. Of course, it was not simply his inferiority complex that made him wary of Kang Cheon-hoo, but when Jin-seok pointed out his actual inferiority complex, he was unable to refute anything.

(Jinseok. I feel sorry for him… But…)

Serin watched Jinseok quietly embarrassed. At first she felt a little sorry. Although he was greatly shocked because he thought Ye-eun was having an affair, Se-rin still had some affection for Jin-seok.

(As expected… It might be pathetic… As Miyeon said…)

However, the sight of Jin-seok struggling after having Mi-yeon point out his weakness and not even being able to refute it felt somewhat pathetic. Miyeon comforted Se-rin and continued to tell her about Jin-seok’s pathetic sides, and Se-rin was strongly influenced by her.

(You’re cheating on me with Ye-eun… But you’re really possessive. Do you think Team Valkyrie is your harem?)

Especially at the moment when she began to think that Jinseok was a cheating man, all of Jinseok’s actions seemed strange to Serin. Jin-seok’s zealous opposition to meeting Kang Cheon-hoo felt like simple jealousy stemming from his inferiority complex to Kang Cheon-hoo.

A handsome man who cannot hide his weakness and is jealous because of his inferiority complex. This is how Jinseok was portrayed to Serin. In addition, he was unable to control his sexuality and appeared to be an unpleasant person who was attracted to women and laughed at random things.

“I am the leader of Team Valkyrie. Jinseok, if you cannot follow the team’s policies, you must leave the team.”
“! Ugh!”

As Jin-seok continued to show disapproval, Mi-yeon went so far as to make an extreme statement of her own, telling him to leave if he was not going to follow the team’s policy. It was a very shocking statement for Jinseok. She didn’t know that Mi-yeon would end up telling her to leave the team. Jinseok was so surprised that he was speechless.

“Well, about that…”

When Jinseok was reprimanded by Miyeon, he looked at Serin and Yeeun and asked for help with his eyes. As he was pushed out by the cold Mi-yeon, Jin-seok unconsciously became dependent on Se-rin and Ye-eun.

“Miyeon, that’s too much. Jinseok is also our colleague. We should respect his opinion.”
“…”

Ye-eun felt sorry for Jin-seok and joined the conversation. Ye-eun’s logic was to respect Jin-seok’s opinion. In fact, it was natural to some extent since he was a member of the same team. However, unlike Ye-eun, Serin did not say a word.

“Also, I’m a little nervous about meeting Kang Cheon-hu. He’s a person who I don’t know what he’ll do.”

And Ye-eun was also opposed to meeting Kang Cheon-hu. Ye-eun also felt a strong wariness towards Kang Cheon-hu due to her previous experience with him. Naturally, he became wary of Kang Cheon-hu’s presence, asking for things like kisses and panties.

“…Okay. Then, you stay with Jinseok. What are you going to do with Serin?”
“…I am…”

When Mi-yeon said that Ye-eun would not meet Kang Cheon-hu, she said without much hesitation that she should do so. Then, she asked Serin what she would do. Serin listened to Miyeon’s question, bowed her head and thought for a moment…

“…I will go with Miyeon.”

… Se-rin answered that she would go with Mi-yeon to meet Kang Cheon-hu. After hearing Serin answer like that, Jinseok looked at Serin in surprise. Jin-seok didn’t know that Se-rin would reply that she was going to meet Kang Cheon-hu.

“S-Serin…”

Jinseok was surprised by Serin’s answer and looked at her blankly, at a loss for words. Jin-seok thought that if it were Se-rin, he would listen to his opinion and she would say that she would not go to see Kang Cheon-hu. In that case, she thought that since both Ye-eun and Se-rin refused, Mi-yeon would have no choice. But Serin was blank and didn’t even look at Jinseok who was looking at him.

(It’s a bit like Gangcheonhu… But if you go with Miyeon, there won’t be any problem.)

In fact, Se-rin also felt uneasy about Kang Cheon-hu, but she trusted Mi-yeon, so she thought she would be fine if she went with Mi-yeon. To that extent, Serin had deep trust in Miyeon.

(Ye-eun, seeing that her older sister follows Jin-seok, she is also…)

And seeing Ye-eun sympathize with Jin-seok’s argument, Serin’s suspicions about Ye-eun became even stronger. In fact, Ye-eun would have been reluctant to go to meet Kang Cheon-hoo even if Jin-seok did not object, but to Serin, who already had prejudices about the relationship between Ye-eun and Jin-seok, it seemed as if Ye-eun was following Jin-seok’s opinion and not meeting Kang Cheon-hoo.

“Serin. You, the strong weather…”
“I will follow Miyeon, because she is the leader of her team.”
“…Well, yeah…”

Jin-seok tried to persuade Se-rin, but she couldn’t find anything more to say when she saw Se-rin’s intention to follow the team’s leader Mi-yeon. Jin-seok told him to do so, but he silently walked away. Jinseok, who was already depressed because of Miyeon, couldn’t even talk properly to Serin.

(Hmph. Are you so worried about Kang Cheon-hu that you can’t even properly stop her when her girlfriend says she’s going to meet him?)

And Se-rin ended up looking at Jin-seok for not even actively trying to stop her. She said that she was worried about the situation in which she met Kang Cheon-hu, but she felt disillusioned that her girlfriend, Serin, could not properly stop her. To her Jinseok, she was shocked and speechless by Serin’s unexpected appearance, but to Serin, her Jinseok only seemed weak.

“Then, we can just act as everyone wants.”

Miyeon briefly concluded the meeting. Se-rin and Mi-yeon go to the meeting with Kang Cheon-hu, but Ye-eun and Jin-seok do not go. Miyeon was organizing everything neatly, as if she had drawn a conclusion and started from the beginning.

(It’s a shame that Ye-eun refused, but once you offer it to Serin, there’s another chance.)
