Chapter 15 – It’s a Pity to Let It Go Like This.

When I went to the convenience store, Shin Hye-yeon was already fast asleep.
She wasn’t surprised, seeing that she was already asleep before she left the house.

I thought she was cute when I saw her, who always had a neat appearance, sleeping so defenselessly at someone else’s table.

I looked down at her sleeping face.
Every single feature was as beautiful as a finely crafted piece of art.
The harmony they achieved was also exquisite.

No matter how long you look at it, you won’t get tired of it.

But what to say?
It was difficult to be sure whether this feeling could be called love.
Since my actual age is 40, I felt like a cute junior rather than a dating partner.
If I had gotten married early and had a daughter, I might have felt like a daughter.

A message appeared in front of my eyes as if to send a warning to my thoughts.

【The sub quest has been opened.】
【You cannot arbitrarily decide whether or not to accept a sub-quest.】

===========================================

Title: While You Were Sleeping
Goal: Kiss Shin Hye-yeon on the lips.
Difficulty: F

Success Reward: Training Effect X 300% (one week from the start of training) As the number of people increases, the effect is halved by 50%.

Failure Penalty:-

===========================================

“Ah…”

A sub-quest has been opened.
I didn’t wonder what this was because I had already experienced it once during the ‘combat practice’ class.

‘Why all of a sudden…’

To kiss Shin Hye-yeon?

The message always felt like it was urging me to go in one direction, fearing that I would make a different choice in this life.
Just now, I was thinking that Shin Hye-yeon was cute when I saw her sleeping.
With the feeling of looking at a sincere and upright junior.

Then, this quest suddenly came to mind.

The goal of the quest was ‘a kiss’.

“Gulp.”

After receiving the quest, I looked at Shin Hye-yeon again, and like a lie, she looked completely different.

‘Well, I’m 20 too.’

It was not appropriate for a 40-year-old to think of Shin Hye-yeon as a junior or a daughter.
Now I’m twenty years old
He was the same age as Shin Hye-yeon.

A girl from my class came into my studio and was sleeping defenselessly.
This would be the right situation to express the so-called ‘flag has been raised’.

If I didn’t do anything, I was in a situation where I could be criticized again.
A quest that suddenly appeared reminded him of that.

‘Even so…’

I wondered if it was right to kiss him without his permission.
Of course, the quest reward was coveted.
3 times the effect of training in one week.
If this was sold as a product, the Hunters would have been willing to buy it even at an exorbitant price.

‘Conversely, there is no penalty.’

If the opponent wasn’t Shin Hye-yeon, it might have been easier to decide.
However, it was difficult for me to steal her lips carelessly without her knowing.

Then the bell rang to break the silence.

Ding-dong- Ding-dong-

The sound was much louder because the room was quiet.
It wasn’t hard to guess why the bell rang.
Because I ordered chicken with my own hands.

Hearing that sound, Shin Hye-yeon suddenly woke up.
With a hazy face, she mumbles “Uh…”.
Her darling stared at me looking into her face, making her look like she was dreaming.

“Sunggyu…?”
“Wait a minute.”

I went to the porch and opened the door.
And I accepted the delivered chicken.

‘Did I miss the timing?’

Even though it came to mind twice in one day, I could see that the sub-quest was an opportunity not to be missed.
Above all, the reward is very sweet.
If you were a hunter, you couldn’t help but be greedy for the rewards.

‘But this isn’t it.’

Shin Hye-yeon was not a woman to be easily thought of as she carelessly took her lips while she was asleep.
When I think of the hardships she went through in her previous life because of me, I can’t treat her carelessly.

【Failed to complete sub quest.】

It was easier to give up when I saw the message that popped up.
Can not help it.
Quests should also be accomplished while keeping the minimum line.

“Ah… Chicken…”

When Shin Hye-yeon saw her chicken I had released, she grabbed her stomach.
She had only had dinner with them an hour or two ago.
It was a long dinner, of course, and then a longer time spent eating dessert.

But regardless of that, the ‘recovery potion’ aroused a strong hunger.
I was able to understand Shin Hye-yeon’s heart because I had many similar experiences.

“You don’t like chicken?”
“Yes? It can’t be~~”

Shin Hye-yeon was startled and waved her hands.

There’s no one who doesn’t like chicken.

Shin Hye-yeon looked up at me blankly.

“How did you know I was hungry?”
“It’s a recovery potion. If you drink this, you will be hungry.”
“Ah…”

Her eyes sharpened slightly.

“Isn’t this not available on the market? How did you know?”
“I told you before. There is a Hunter I know, and I learned from him. Hunters who are active in the field seem to have a recipe that only they share. It takes a long time to get approved as an actual product, so once the effect is verified, use it.”
“Wow…”

Shin Hye-yeon opened her mouth.

It would be amazing to hear such a story from her point of view.
Likewise, if I had heard the same story as a freshman in college, it would have seemed like I was listening to a story from a completely different world.

“Eat. Now is important. What you eat now will never make you fat, so don’t worry.”

As for the excess recovery, so-called timing was important.
Most of the food consumed at this time is used for muscle and mana recovery and growth.
This means that very little heat is lost.

Hunter originally did not gain weight well, but he did not know that mana loss would occur if he did not drink the ‘recovery potion’ and consume enough nutrients.
This was something Hunters hated to death.

“Yes!”

Shin Hye-yeon didn’t ask for more, put on the plastic gloves I gave her, and started eating her chicken.
She was cute watching her eat hard regardless of her face.
She feels like doing everything for herself.

This was definitely different from the feelings I had for the villains who NTRed me.
It just feels comfortable and not uncomfortable.
This is how I feel when I see my child eating… It’s not like this, but anyway.

Along with the chicken, Shin Hye-yeon ate the snacks I bought at the convenience store.
She wasn’t particularly hungry, but fearing that she would be embarrassed to eat alone, I ate her food with her.

It was good when we ate together at the Sky Lounge restaurant, but eating chicken at home made me feel much more comfortable and in a good mood.
This is the happiness of living! The thought of doing this comes to mind.

Shin Hye-yeon, who had eaten enough food, leaned her body back.

“Haah … This is the first time. You ate so much.”

It was a quick and unstoppable meal that didn’t suit her slim body.

“But it feels good. Just like Seong-gyu said, I feel like my whole body is recovering.”

All you need now is enough sleep.
Now was the time to let her go.

“Will you go back before it’s too late?”
“Yes…”

#

“Sleep well, Mr. I am really grateful for many things today.”

Shin Hye-yeon stood in front of me and hesitated.
Her appearance was indescribably lovely.
I could feel the emotions of love reacting in my heart.
This passion is still there.

It was completely different from the feelings she felt for her wife while living in her marriage.
Going back 20 years, it felt like my sensibility had returned to that time.

It was a time when I couldn’t easily answer Shin Hye-yeon’s usual greeting and was still looking at her face.

【The sub quest has been opened.】
【You cannot arbitrarily decide whether or not to accept a sub-quest.】

===========================================

Title: Sorry to send it like this.
Goal: Kiss Shin Hye-yeon on the lips.
Difficulty: F

Success Reward: Training Effect X 500% (one week from the start of training) As the number of people increases, the effect is halved by 100%.

Failure Penalty:-

===========================================

“Uh…?”

I was surprised.

I thought that this quest had already failed and was blown away.
But the quest with the same goal opens again.

When I looked at the contents, I noticed that there was a difference from before.
The reward has changed.

Training effect 300% increased to 500%.
500%…
Even if he trained with Shin Hye-yeon, it was 400% effective.

“Good bye.”

Shin Hye-yeon turned her body in front of me blankly.
As she saw her walking to her own parked car, something in her mind boiled over.

“Miss Hyeyeon!”

It wasn’t because of the quest.
Really.
It was a pity to let her go like this.

I grabbed her wrist and turned her back.
She hugged her around the waist and held her tightly in her arms.
I quickly put my lips on her embarrassed lips.
