Chapter 639 – I Don’t Even Care

Ji-ing! Jeeeee!

Needless to say, the person who made Lee Cho-ah’s phone cry was Roman.

“!”

Her eyes widened for a moment at the sudden contact, but she quickly answered the call with the corners of her mouth raised.

She left her café feeling secure in her sense that Roman was with her in this world.

“Hello.”

─ Choya.

Relying on wireless earphones.

Ichoa took her place in the corner of her building, with her hands in her coat pockets.

We continue to have a casual conversation with a smile.

She can’t stay still and moves her steps here and there and even circles around her.

“Yes, I understand.”

Lee Cho-ah’s tone toward Roman was more comfortable than in the past.

Ichoah chuckled at the joke she added to her words to come slowly and hung up the phone.

She looked at the screen with Roman’s name on it for a while.

“···.”

I thought it was just a short while, but the conversation continued for about 20 minutes.

This experience was mysterious every time.

[The call recording has been saved. Check recent records and settings.

Lee Choa nodded with satisfaction and put her cell phone in her inner pocket.

I never thought that the remnants of the past that I set aside for work would give me satisfaction in this way.

‘Let’s go quickly.’

Stretching out her legs, she heads to the place where she plans to meet Roman.

From what I heard, she had a long list of things to buy, too.

She seemed to be eager to move around together. She is definitely going to be happy.

So many steps.

Lee Cho-ah’s eyes were focused on one place.

‘There it is.’

Even if passers-by are busy, you can tell.

A majestic presence felt even though there is still distance to the promised place.

I quickly passed by a man speaking in a sinister voice.

She approached the crowd that was rushing in like a wave.

‘I can see it!’

This man is near a department store so there are so many people, but the surroundings are strangely empty.

The intense atmosphere that emanates from him always creates heterogeneous paintings.

Lee Choa simply violated the intangible line that ordinary people cannot even approach the pressure of.

“Roman!”

“Are you here?”

When Roman welcomes us with a smile, the atmosphere changes in an instant.

Naturally, the two headed into the department store.

“Didn’t you call me because I was busy?”

“I’ve done all the work. All I have to do is go shopping.”

One way or another, Roman and Lee Choa had no choice but to become closer.

The relationship between Roman and Dokgorin is the same, as is the fact that he is the teacher who taught him martial arts.

They provided conveniences such as housing and living for the newly established empire and even allowed them paradise.

Would that be the end of it? There is also the part where he is the benefactor who saved his life during his time in the Special Forces.

It is impossible to push Roman away with such a flashy relationship.

The fact that he did not mention or show off what he had given and cared for made Roman shine even brighter in Lee Choa’s eyes.

“Choya.”

“Yes?”

“What did you do alone in Korea?”

“It’s been a while since I stopped by the Special Affairs Department. My sister-in-law said she would continue to accompany me, but she’s not alone.”

“I should have taken care of that first… Thank you so much.”

“This is natural.”

“Obviously, it’s the hardest thing. Next time, if you need to move, feel free to tell me.”

At Roman’s gesture, Lee Choa went up the escalator first.

As I stood one step above, I was roughly at eye level with Roman.

The conversation continued smoothly as we walked up the department store.

“How was the Special Department?”

“It was much better than expected. There have been no cases of mana abuse yet, and the number of people injured or killed has decreased significantly.”

“Thank goodness.”

“Thanks to you, I also feel relieved. Now I plan not to worry and focus on my studies.”

As far as I know, she is currently busy learning the lifestyle and language of the empire.

Although three months was not a short time, it was clearly not enough time for her to acquire basic knowledge and language of the world.

The good news is that conversation itself is possible.

It is possible to forcibly inject language-related knowledge using the power of Niv, but Lee Choa himself refused the convenience.

They say that because Sister Rindo’s memories of the relics are mixed in, that could cause problems.

Roman and Lee Choa, who were chatting continuously, got off on the 5th floor and headed to the home appliance section.

“Let’s buy camera film first.”

“I didn’t know we’d already run out of film. I must have added over a hundred more last time.”

“Everyone likes taking pictures. Even Eclair can’t move when Chloe points the camera at her.”

“Foot, I’m glad you liked the gift.”

Place the mounted film as shown.

At least 20 sheets per box. This is an amount that women can consume in the blink of an eye if they want to.

“Now, should I buy another camera?”

“Polaroid? That would be fine too.”

“Everyone is serious about decorating the walls of the mansion, so I thought it would be necessary.”

After calculating the two heavy baskets.

Take the escalator again and go down to the basement and head to the food corner.

“Let’s buy spices first.”

“What about Roman?”

“I have to buy it in boxes, so it’s easier to buy it at a nearby supermarket rather than a department store.”

The purpose of the department store was simply to sell camera-related items.

This was also the place I decided on because I knew that Lee Choa buys spices here.

“Wait a minute! I’ll be alive soon.”

“Slow down.”

“It’s a bit expensive, but it’s the only place where it’s packaged in bulk and neatly…”

Lee Cho-ah pondered over her Joongwon’s recipe and began filling her cart.

Mara (麻辣), the main contributor to spices taking up a place in department stores, and octagon (八角) resembling a star.

Jinpi (陳皮) made from dried tangerines and oranges, ziran (孜然), which is essential for lamb, and chopi (花椒), which is responsible for the tingling sensation.

Roman finished her calculation by stacking up unfamiliar names that he had never heard before.

There was a bulging envelope in both Lee Choa’s hands.

“Give it to me. Put it in my place.”

“Ah… It’s okay!”

“How are you going to get around like that?”

“!”

Roman comes closer to catch the item. Ichoa was unable to resist, and as she held her breath, she completely relaxed her hands.

It didn’t even look that big when held in the big hands of Roman.

It ends with pushing an object into the air.

It is an amazing space any time you look at it.

“Do you want to go to the empire and rest? I still have a lot to live for.”

“I’ll follow you.”

“It won’t be much fun.”

“Still, I want to go. Shopping… Isn’t it fun?”

Roman laughed without saying anything.

I caught one of the taxis lined up in front of the department store and went to a nearby supermarket.

“Let’s see.”

Roman began stocking large quantities of frozen foods such as ramen, cola, carbonated water, and dumplings.

The corners of her mouth did not lower as she smiled at the thought of her women being happy like children.

“···.”

Lee Choa quietly watched her back.

And then I think.

The conversation I had with my sister-in-law.

Lee Choa had that kind of time every day.

Spending time with my sister-in-law at her house that Roman gave me.

“Her spirit has definitely brightened. It’s nice to see.”

“Really? I don’t know what has changed…”

Dokgo Rin smiled happily as she looked at Lee Cho-ah with a puzzled look on her face.

The colorful expressions and brighter smiles seem to be a lie about the dark and deadly past.

“Haha! It’s not easy for you to know about this change. Do you like the empire?”

“Yes. It’s nice because it’s quiet, and I especially like nature.”

Even though it was a rough place compared to Korea, it was just that compared to Jungwon.

Moreover, there are no cell phones and no internet.

What would be hell for most modern people became a great source of stability for Lee Choa.

Ichoa was happy when she let go of her mind and looked at the scenery blankly.

“Hmm.”

Dokgo Rin, who was sitting at her table and drinking tea instead of her drink, lightly put down her glass and rested her chin.

As I exchanged glances with her, I drew her slightly sinister eyes.

“So I wonder when you’re going to tell me.”

“Yes?”

“Everyone except the person concerned already knows. No, the person concerned may also know. There is a side to Gaga that is so obnoxious and cannot be hated.”

“···.”

“This sister-in-law is more curious about when her love for her sister-in-law began.”

Ichoa closed her mouth.

“Is she a douchebag? Was it when she encountered an evil spirit? Or was she learning martial arts? Maybe it was just through her conversation that it made a place in her heart.”

“···.”

“This is not Jungwon. This is not Korea where she originally lived. She does not need to be bound by the principles or principles of another world.”

“···.”

“Just be happy. Whatever your choice, this sister will support you.”

Even Lee Cho-ah doesn’t know exactly when it started.

Because she was just following with her eyes at some point.

I thought it might be admiration or respect for her.

I didn’t decide what kind of emotion it was and just lived with it.

But.

I clearly remember the moment when the pain that pierced my heart came and revealed the reality.

─ If you lose in sparring, become my woman.

When Roman said that to his sister.

The realization that she was not being cared for was sinking in like an awl.

“Black…!”

“Buy, buy, buy!?”

She was forgetting about it, but she was organizing her thoughts one by one.

When I think about it, my eyes become blurry.

Dokgo Rin takes her steps, knocking over the chair.

There was no way to explain the embarrassment and impatience.

“I’m sorry… Don’t cry… I was impatient.”

Roman’s strong scent came from Rin’s arms as she hugged him in surprise.

At that moment, the emotions I had been suppressing exploded.

··

··

“Thanks to Choa, it ended much faster than expected.”

I came out of the supermarket, put all the boxes in my inventory, and slapped her hand.

“···.”

After lightly reflecting on the past, Lee Choa looked blankly at Roman.

Roman blinked as he received attention.

“Why? Is there something I need to buy?”

“That…”

“Speak comfortably. I have plenty of time.”

A cool smile that tells you to speak without hesitation.

Choa Lee spoke out to Roman with a bright smile, feeling the magical sensation of alleviating tension in an instant.

“You just said it was over sooner than expected, right?”

“Uh. I originally thought it would take longer.”

“So does that mean Roman has some free time?”

“Hmm… Right?”

Roman blinks.

The large figure looked cute in Lee Cho-ah’s eyes.

“Then would you like to go for a drive with me?”
