Chapter 34 – [What Is Life, Just Living the Way You Live]

When I went to work the next day, I went to work because my face was swollen.

“No, where did you get beaten up? Which bastard did that? Should I call a lawyer?”

“Let’s go Ruri”

“Siblings fight, so that’s fine. There’s a good ointment for bruises in the cupboard, so apply it and get to work.”

“Isn’t the change of attitude too quick?”

“Is fighting between brother and sister a big deal? It’s best not to interfere with household chores.”

It’s not the first time or two that I’ve been involved in other people’s chores. I am basically bystander. If you don’t touch him, he’s the safest man in the world.

I am also a person with thoughts. Even if it is not a civilized society like the earth of the 21st century, but a fantasy medieval world where laws and ethics are far away and fists are close, people do not kill people just because there is an argument. It’s basically verbal.

But the youngsters who don’t listen to me are fans first. Kill it if you don’t listen. In short, just don’t cross the line. Only good.

Few people in this world have crossed my line. If I can only think of people I can remember, it’s about the Iljin idiots who padipled with me in the past.

“Oh, that’s right. I’m going to visit my friend’s hospital in the afternoon with my wife. I’ll leave around 12 o’clock and come back before 3 o’clock.”

“At that time, there weren’t that many customers, so I’m going to go to the store with Mrs. Jin and myself. By the way, is it the person who went last time to see you in the hospital?”

“Yeah, my friend’s father is almost like a brother. He’s a late-aged sergeant, so he’s still in the army. Even if he’s discharged before surgery, he doesn’t have a son right now, so I’m going to go too. And my wife, too, has to show her face.”

Hyung-sik’s family is no different from my family. They are the only people who cared about me as an orphan, so my parents all passed away during the Great Depression 20 years ago, so it is one of the few places I can stick to.

Originally, I should have contacted her after we got married, but I couldn’t because I was distracted after meeting Xion and spending my newlywed life.

If it had been a wedding, I would have sent a wedding invitation, but on the contrary, I could have invited Zion to the wedding, acting as her father-in-law. But that’s because I’m not married.

“Hey, but you must have been hit really hard. You got bruises evenly as if you were just knocking around. He has a future.”

“The bruise still throbs even when I lie down to sleep?! How is it easier to find an unbruised spot than a bruised spot?”

“Because it hurts, it’s youth”

“Don’t bullshit”

“Oh, honestly, that’s bullshit, anyway, take care of me when I’m not around.”

After preparing the ingredients and helping with the morning sales, the time passed quickly.

It would be nice to go as it is, but if possible, it would be better to go with Zion, and since the clothes I used to work at work smelled like oil, I think it would be better to wash and change into neat clothes before going.

This time, it was a place to introduce Zion. It seems to notice to wear loosely.

To take a similar example, this meeting is no different from a meeting.

“Oh, it’s a Lamborghini”

A supercar was parked in front of my house. The black appearance without a single stain on it, the slim figure, and the appearance of something future-oriented, unlike ordinary vehicles, had a taste that made even me, who is not very attached to cars, thrill.

Even after thousands of years, men are all the same. Transformation, giant robot, combination, supercar, drill, etc., Various romances do not disappear no matter how much time passes.

“But why would you park it in front of my house and fuck it? Call a tow truck and have it towed away.”

The neighborhood around here has some land prices, so people who want to have some money live in it, but I’ve never seen a car that’s openly blatant like a supercar.

Of course, even if you drive a car that is expensive enough to go to a slick job, you ride a car that feels somewhat decent.

Think about it. Don’t you notice if a new employee uses his chair at the company as an old-fashioned one that can be used by the president?

“Oh, are you here?”

“Yeah, were you ready?”

“I’m done. I’ve picked out the clothes you’re going to wear in advance, so you can wash them before putting them on.”

“You didn’t pick out a suit, did you?”

“Even if it’s like a meeting, the place you go to is a hospital, so isn’t it too stiff?

“If you walk into the hospital wearing a black suit, older people might ask if you’ve come to pick them up.”

As I was about to go in to wash, I remembered the Lamborghini parked in front of my house and said to Shion.

“Oh, but there was a Lamborghini parked in front of my house. The road is a little wide, so it’s not inconvenient to come and go, but it’s not illegal parking, so let’s report it to the police or tow truck.”

“That’s our car. To be precise, it’s not just a Lamborghini, it’s a Lamborghini Centenario Roadster.”

“………”

Obviously, I remember that the car I bought on the day I was discharged was destroyed quite a lot because of the enemy type, so I just scrapped it to get AS. It’s not old either, it was half a year ago.

But you bought another car?

“How much is that?”

“It was a limited edition, so it cost about 6 billion won. I couldn’t buy it with just money, so I mobilized a little bit of my personal connections and bought it from overseas, so I paid a little more.”

“I can just buy a decent car, but I don’t mind that…”

“Also, a man’s ego is nothing like a car. It’s for show off, so you can ride it when you go to meet people later.”

“If you’re going to buy something like that, you should have told me. There are better cars… Ah”

To be honest, I can’t think of anything better than a Lamborghini.

For me, material things are living as they are if they exist, and living as if they are not.

“If I had told you, I would have chosen a car that is fuel efficient and can accommodate a lot of people.”

“That’s right, he must have been dragging something like a Starex”

“And I’m going to see the people who are no different from my adoptive parents, so why don’t you at least show them something like ‘I’m living this well’ to reassure them?”

I bought a car that can carry a lot of luggage and people so that I can travel comfortably when I go out with my friends, and I would have put it to good use.

Even for a Lamborghini, the gas mileage is poor and it’s only a two-seater. It’s not enough to ride with a few friends. Well, then I should just ride with Shion alone.

“And if you get into a car accident, it’s certain that you’ll be in big trouble, so I bought a car that the other side can crouch in.”

“Even if that bumper is broken, how much is the repair cost?

“If you add up the cost of sending it to the headquarters, getting it repaired, and returning it, that would be it.”

Rather, I can’t drag myself out because I’m scared. If you scratch it once, it’s billions of dollars. It’s strange how one flaw is worth more than someone’s lifetime earnings.

I put my thoughts aside and decided to take a shower. It took me about 5 minutes to wash her hair, wash her face and brush her teeth, and after a 10-minute hot shower, I felt refreshed.

Looking at the time, it was 12:30. If we leave now, it will be around 1:00.

“Let’s go quickly. I told Baekri at the store, so if you call later, you can come in a little later, but I’d like to go in before 3 o’clock if possible.”

“Isn’t it time-consuming?”

“Is that so? Should I send a text message just in case?”

It’s faster to remove moisture from your hair with your ability than using a hair dryer. After drying it all at once, I brushed it a few times and came out.

“The key is here”

“A car like this just doesn’t suit me”

“I bought it somewhere to build up my pride and not kneel, but I can’t use it if I keep complaining like that.”

“Sorry, it’s because I get anxious when there are only two people riding strangely.”

Is it because you like crowded things? Anyway, when I started the engine, I felt a heavy engine sound. A sports car that would sound loud from the outside, but the distinctive engine sound of a sports car was faintly audible inside the car. Even if I feel the vibration with my senses, it is very small and the expensive ones seem to pay that much.

“It kills the ride. If you go to the highway and step on 200 per hour, it will be great.”

“I like seeing what I like”

The most important thing is speed. If you step on the accelerator to the limit in a car like this, you can feel the feeling of riding in an Asurada. Ah, don’t kids these days know Asura?

When I open the window, I can hear the roar of the engine. It feels like a hole in the stomach.

“There’s a bump in front”

“Aaaaa!!!!”

After speeding up, I was frightened by the sound of a bump. Since the body of the car is so low, it can be scratched by going over a bump if you do it wrong.

“I almost sent it for repair as soon as I test drove it. Should I coat it with my abilities?”

“If you do get into an accident, then it’s just the opponent’s car that gets wrecked, so it’s a bigger problem, right?”

Driving around like this often only makes my heart beat faster. Seeing that you don’t get used to this even after living for a long time, I think it’s very natural. When I’m hungry, I just add a few vegetables to leftover side dishes at home, gochujang, sesame oil, and even eggs, and I’m the type to eat it. To me, a billion-dollar car is close, but it feels far away.

“If it’s this, commuting won’t be bad… Parking is a problem, though.”

“There is a commercial building nearby, so please park in the parking lot there.”

“When did you buy it again?”

“I bought it yesterday because I needed a parking lot”

“Aaaaa”

Although I have lived with Zion for thousands of years, it is not once or twice that I sometimes wonder what my wife is thinking. Oh, that must be the same for Shion.

Even if I have money, I don’t think about making a lot of money. In the first place, as long as it’s just about eating and living, I’m also the type of person who doesn’t think about big money.

Hey, if I wanted a lot of money, I would have bought bitcoin 5 years ago.

“Now you don’t have to get hit by lawyer Kim. Oh, come to think of it, what did you do when we went out together before?”

“I made a company”

“What company?”

“We are a mobile game production company”

“……You started a company from scratch just because I want to be a hero?”

“The money is meant to be spent. Don’t worry, the money will rot and overflow anyway.”

“How many are there?”

“Every company stock you’ve ever heard of will be there.”

In civilized societies, our wives have a greater influence. So sometimes I feel like a pillar, but on the contrary, I have more influence even in the Middle Ages.

Shion is also physically strong, but he is reluctant to touch the opponent, good or bad. If I’m wrong, I can only have more influence by grabbing and killing.

“The company will be established in earnest next week. You can come out and say hello at that time.”

“Why me?”

“As a joint stock company, I own all the shares.

“Unbeknownst to me, you’re the boss?! Hey, I need to match a business card.”

“Already set”

“What is it that my wife can’t do?”

As I was driving while talking about this and that, I felt the eyes of the people around me. It felt good to see passers-by looking back, taking pictures, and whispering.

When I was driving, I felt like I was keeping a safe distance while sneaking out of the way on the road… Hey, it’s so comfortable to drive! If you pass by, you are a slave to your life!

While driving while having fun, I arrived at the hospital before I knew it. From the entrance, the guard’s gaze was focused, but I ignored it and pulled out a parking ticket.

“2,000 won for 30 minutes……. Fortress parking fee is too expensive”

“What are you complaining about when you have a lot of money?”

“There’s a difference between having a lot of money and being expensive.”

There were no seats on the ground side (there were, but it was cramped. If you want to park, you can do it, but I’m sorry for the person who parked next to you), so I went into the basement and parked it in the middle of the empty seats on both sides.

“It’s a car that is a slave to life if you brush it, but you have to have parking manners”

“Good idea”

No matter how empty the parking lot is, you wouldn’t think of parking next to our car. Even people with 30 years of safe driving experience cannot come.

Since I had been to the hospital room where Mr. Hyung-hyung was hospitalized before, it was easy to find. But as the number of floors in the elevator went up, my worries increased.

“Why is that?”

“I don’t really care if someone I don’t know calls me a lolicon, but if someone I know does that, the psychological damage is a bit big”

“Are you using growth form?”

“It’s okay. You won’t live like that for the rest of your life.”

The elevator arrived soon after. I love Zion, not Zion’s body. She also loves me, whose appearance changes every time she reincarnates, but shouldn’t it be right that I should love her, who can change into any shape of hers?

“Mister, I’m here”

“Oops, why does the guy who works come here so often?”

“I left the store with a part-timer. But I don’t think I’ll be able to stay for long because I have to go back later. Ah… I forgot a present for my hospital visit.”

“It’s okay because the fruit set you brought last time is still there. Come sit down. And the kid next to you…”

Hyung-sik turned his gaze to Shion. Shion greeted politely, and she introduced herself.

“Hello, father. My name is Zion.”

“Oh, um…”

“She’s my wife.”

“Hmm”

The reaction I expected came back.

When I introduce Zion as my wife to the people around me, their reactions are divided into three types.

The first one thinks it’s a joke, the second one sees it as a dirty pedophile. The third and last person who thinks of something.

If you know that the first one is not a joke, there are many cases that move on to the second case. The least of the three is the last, the thinkers.

“My lady, are you not underage?”

“Yes, I am twenty-four this year.”

“Did you get married because you love each other?”

“Yes, I am newlywed.”

“Okay, that’s okay. If there’s no major problem, it’s something to celebrate, not something to be seen as strange.”

Hyeong-sik asked Shion a few questions, and she nodded in agreement. Sometimes go Less than those who think, those who acknowledge.

“I didn’t think that you would marry a normal girl with your personality. If you like each other, what does it matter who you are?”

“What’s my personality like?”

“Your personality was the weirdest among the kids who Hyeong-sik hung out with. You’re usually the quietest, but once you go back, you can’t see anything.”

If you have a temper, even if you reincarnate, it won’t be fixed. Is it my nature, or is the nature of the soul formed that way? Anyway, it’s not the first time or two that I got into an accident because of my angry personality.

I’ve never killed anyone, but I’ve been to the police a few times.

As far as I can remember, there was a time when I got hit a few times while being beaten by the head of the old school student who spat out that I was an orphan. She wasn’t sick, but no one would call her an orphan, so she beat the student. No, what era is the world in?

“Go downstairs and get something to drink. There’s a cafe in the basement of the hospital. I’ll buy it there. I’ll be talking to the lady.”

“Are you going to send me out to talk about something?”

“It’s no big deal. Oh, I’d like some green tea, please.”

There’s nothing you can’t hear if you want to hear it. It is not a task to put a hospital within the detection range, and it is easy to pinpoint the sound of a single hospital room from the basement to the height of dozens of floors above the ground.

But I won’t I don’t know what he’s going to say, but it won’t be a bad story.

I wonder if it would be fine if I order an Americano and the man order a green tea latte.

My wife must have always added a shot of caramel macchiato and topped it with whipped cream. I don’t know anything else, but my wife has a taste for sweet things.

*        *    *

Kang Hyung-sik’s father, Kang Jin-soo, smiled and said to Shion.

“Wasn’t it hard to come? Looking at it, it seems like there’s something blocked in front of me.”

“Ah, it was fine. It didn’t bother me too much.”

“Take it easy. My son isn’t married yet, and he doesn’t even have a girlfriend, so I was worried that hyung-sik or, worst of all, both of us would never be able to get married. Thanks to the young lady, the evil side has been relieved.”

The worst grew up in a facility, but in Kang Jin-soo’s family, he grew up like a brother like Kang Hyung-sik.

We went to the same place from elementary school, middle school, and high school, and since we often went to his house to play, people in the family regarded the worst as Hyeong-sik’s brother.

The worst thing about losing his parents and living in a facility with state aid was that he was a good sociable person if he didn’t touch the odds, so we rested together on holidays and went on vacations somewhere together. He only has a different family register, but half of them are like family.

“When he first came to our house, I recognized him at a glance. I thought he was keeping his distance from us.”

“………”

“Since I am a child living in a facility after losing my parents, I thought that there must be some kind of wariness. Isn’t it strange that a child who has just entered elementary school doesn’t have any inspiration when playing or eating fried chicken? It just feels like he’s just going to do that, so I thought, ‘Oh, I can’t leave this kid alone’.”

“I will do just that”

The worst is reincarnation. They are born, grow, and eventually die. Do it dozens of times. Even at the age of entering elementary school, the strength of the soul does not disappear, and if you put your mind to it, it is possible to rule the earth.

Reincarnated in a fantasy world, unify the continent and become the first emperor?

Anyway, if you die and reincarnate again, you will be reborn with your bare hands and bare body.

Born in the Middle Ages to create a civil revolution and change history?

Then what do you do, if you die anyway, your status is meaningless in the end.

Do you want to earn enough money to live in the country with the knowledge you have?

You don’t even know what an aircart is called an airlift? I came empty-handed and went empty-handed.

For the worst, material things don’t matter. The values ​​he considers important are human beings and the by-products of the emotions that human beings create.

“Because he cared about me and took care of me often, as time passed, I slowly opened up my heart. That’s why I’ve developed the personality I have now… But I often think about it, and I wonder if that child really opened up to me. Things I like. I wonder if a person who doesn’t express himself and tries to live as it flows can be happy. But seeing that kid even got married and brought someone he likes, I’m relieved that he’s completely changed now. In that respect, thank you very much, lady. I’m relieved.”

“………”

Shion listened to Jinsu Kang and nodded.

“He just didn’t express it, but he must have liked his father and his family. It’s because he’s used to loving but not used to being loved.”

The worst reincarnation is always like that.

If your parents died when you were young, like now, you grew up as an orphan.

Parents exist, but parents cannot play their role properly due to various circumstances.

So far, all reincarnations have been like that. Worst of all, he could become the head of his family and love his family, but he rarely received love from his parents.

Even if he received love, he turned his head, wondering if it would be a nuisance or to make him worry. He’s the worst. Love is giving. He’s not used to receiving.

“But don’t worry because I’m here. Because I’m an externally attached conscience circuit, at least I won’t hear anything strange anywhere.”

“That child married a good man…… Ah, lady. Is your body like that since birth?”

“Oh, this happened after I was taking medicine for a chronic illness. My hair was bleached because of it.”

It is a pre-determined setting, a repertoire. Of course, I’m an alien. It’s because this is the default appearance in terms of race.” You can’t introduce yourself.

Worst of all, he had no talent for business management or magic tricks, but he was excellent at seeing people. Thanks to that, even Shion could be a little more comfortable with the person he introduced.

“After you finish treatment and get discharged from the hospital, why don’t you get together with your family and have dinner later? I’ll treat you.”

“To do that, I’ll have to leave the hospital quickly. I’ll be looking forward to it, ma’am.”

Kang Jin-soo was respecting her even in the smallest details. Although she looks like an elementary school student and a foreigner, she treats her as an adult rather than a child.

Even though Choi Hoe and Kang Jin-soo treat her as if they were father and son, from Zion’s point of view, they are men and women who do not communicate by blood. From the first meeting, she calls her a lady, not her daughter-in-law, and shows respect to her as a human being.

If you ask me, do you judge people by things that don’t matter like that? There are so many people in the world who don’t even have that trivial respect.

“I bought something to drink. Is the story over?”

“Oh, just finished. What about mine?”

“Here’s a green tea latte. But after I bought it, I remembered it belatedly. I don’t know if the patient can eat the cold one.”

“What, I’m sitting and enjoying all the good things, but what’s the point of being cold?”

“What were you talking about? It’s obvious that it’s something like a Bonama or household survey.”

“I told you something else. But since you’re the one I chose, it’s obvious he’s a good person.”

“No, what can I trust my eyes to trust so much?”

“Do you remember how you said you looked like a con artist when you saw someone who wanted to do business with me?

“No, he was clearly a swindler, but what?”

“He was my friend of 10 years.”

“Ah, I didn’t know that. And investing or guarantees aren’t easy to stand up even among friends. If Hyung-sik asks for a guarantee, I’ll kick his ass out.”

Worst of all, if you don’t know anything else, it’s worth recognizing with one human eye. To be precise, only relatively poor people have eyes that recognize them.

I have seen all kinds of human groups in my life, so when I face a person, I can feel what that person is like. It is a skill that is quite useful because it means that a person who does not come to the senses is a kind of decent person.

“After surgery and being discharged, Hyeong-sik will also gather together and have a meal. I like it and he will find out.”

“That would be nice. Oh, you know I like beef, right?”

“After the surgery, I eat carrots and meat for nutritional supplementation. Ahmyo”

Shion quietly looked at the worst talking to Kang Jin-soo.

As the years passed, the worst gradually became less emotional. Although her personality is not the type to hide her emotions, she takes a calm attitude unless it is a dire situation. Normally, she’s emotional because Shion is there, but when she’s not around, she becomes an extremely selfless person.

But now they were talking with a small smile. To others, it was a trivial thing that was taken for granted, but to Zion, it was a good sign.

She sipped her Caramel Acchiato with a lighter heart.
