Chapter 617 – 617. Those Women 2
Hokkaido.
As I enter the house where the two are, Haruka welcomes me.
“How come you wait just like that every time I come?”
“Because Aki-san told me.”
Haruka answers innocently. Aki, who is sitting at her table, tries to avoid eye contact.
Are you always running detection? Or do you have a good feeling? It’s fascinating.
“Haruka. Are you ready to go?”
When asked that, Haruka shook her head and glanced at her Aki.
Ah… Does she mean to ask Aki first?
The way Haruka looks at me like that… She is very deep.
Also… No matter how much I think about it, I think I’m an idiot who doesn’t know anything about women.
But what if you don’t know? Well, is everyone born with a complete understanding of women’s hearts?
You learn by going through this. I’m just a little late.
“Aki. Let’s go.”
“I haven’t answered yet.”
“Let’s go. I need you.”
“Haa. Don’t say things like that when we’re nothing. Besides, I said I won’t force you.”
“That happened yesterday.”
“He is truly a self-indulgent person.”
Then he stands up.
“Go.”
“Okay. I thought about it well. If I go, I won’t regret it. But… Are you ready?”
“It’s okay. Just go.”
Ah. Right. He had storage.
“What? Then you were ready to go anyway, right?”
“No!? Oh, I don’t want to go. I’m not going to go. Someone who is inattentive and reckless like you is definitely not allowed.”
Yikes. Did I say this for no reason? Anyway, my mouth is righteous.
“I’m sorry. I’ll be a little more careful from now on. So let’s go.”
“Ha… Really.”
Haruka turned her body slightly at an angle that Aki couldn’t see and glared at me, then her face brightened, and she smiled.
Hmm… Are you saying it was wrong to say something unnecessary, and it was good to apologize quickly? No matter how much you think about it, it’s like that, right?
“Is Haruka ready?”
“I’m ready… But what about those animals?”
She put on her perspective glasses and looked in the direction where the animal stalls were. There are still quite a few animals.
Cow, chicken, sheep, pig… There are many types and numbers.
How were you growing all that? This is.
“It’s a pity… But I have to kill them all.”
“Huh? Ah…”
“Then? Release me?”
“No… That’s a waste… It’s all food…”
I laughed unconsciously at Haruka’s reaction.
Even Aki, who was looking sullen next to me, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“You just have to catch them all and take them anyway. Go and cook them so that people can enjoy them.”
“Ugh… That’s right. I can’t help it. They were raised for food from the beginning. I understand.”
Since he used to herd sheep, he must be used to being attached to animals.
I know how to draw a line.
“Wait a moment. I’ll clean it up and come back. Check to see if I left anything out.”
“Yes!”
I went to the barn, took a quick look at the animals, and started putting them all in storage.
If you go in anyway, you will die right away, and time will stop at the moment of death, so there will be no blood clotting or rigor mortis.
If you go to the ark, you will find old man Slaughter at the fence… Just bring it there.
Even if there are a lot of numbers, it is easy to include them.
When I came back, Haruka and Aki were waiting for me.
“Okay then, let’s go.”
Gate leading to the Ark. The two women carefully crossed the gate, and finally the last person on the ark completed boarding.
I crossed over to the ark and headed to Minhee, who was right nearby.
If you’re going to bump into it anyway, it’s better to show it to the most important person first.
“Minhee.”
“Ah. Are you here? Hmm? What about the people behind you?”
“The last occupants of the Ark. Haruka and Aki. Haruka is the cook, and Aki is the Ark’s final weapon. I would like them to be assigned a place to stay.”
“The ultimate weapon… It treats people like some kind of weapon…”
Aki mutters to himself. And Minhee looks at the two women for a moment and smiles brightly.
“Haruka and Aki. Nice to meet you. My name is Minhee Jeong. Are you two Japanese? Do you speak Korean?”
Aki immediately corrects his posture and responds to Minhee’s polite greeting.
“I’m Aki Takahashi. Nice to meet you. I don’t speak Korean, but fortunately I have interpretation skills.”
Aki answers calmly. And then Haruka thought hard about something, and then she stumbled, and she said.
“Eh… I am Haruka Ishikawa.”
“Oh. What? Are you speaking Korean?”
“Ugh. Was this… Strange?”
“No, you did well. But you can speak in Japanese. I can translate in between. Minhee, did you hear? This is Haruka Ishikawa. As you can see, I’m not good at Korean.”
“Okay. Then… Do you want me to assign a room? But, it’s almost noon now. Do you want to do it right away?”
“Ah. I see. Then, let’s do it later. It’s still coming over there.”
I can see the kids from Cheongpyeong coming with Seunggyu from over there.
Minjun and Donghyun who met at the supermarket for the first time, Jinyoung who created soju, Seungju and Junghyun who came with Mirae, and Jaehyun who came from Gimpo.
However… Why is Ji-yeon coming? I’ve never called you.
“Ah! There it is, bro!”
Jinyoung approached with a happy expression, and the other guys also came rushing in.
And then Jaehyun comes strolling after me and Jiyeon keeps looking at me.
Ah… Why is he looking at me like that? Scary.
“Hyung! What is here!? Absolutely! Awesome!”
“Don’t misunderstand. Anyway, everyone from Cheongpyeong has come. There is one person who wasn’t invited. I’ll tell you everything later, so just wait a moment.”
As I say that, people from the Pence side come from over there.
Sisters Yun-seo, Song-i, Ji-won, Jia, and Jeong-yeon who have been with us since the first camp.
They come towards me but hesitate when they see other people.
But when I make a gesture, everyone comes this way.
“How is everyone?”
“Captain! Not even the tip of my nose is visible… Then suddenly, what is this? And what on earth is this place?”
As expected, Jia, who was the most talkative, asked right away, and her older sister, Jiwon, sighed as if she couldn’t stop her.
“I’ll tell you everything, so just wait a moment. I think we’re almost there. There he is.”
Yejun and Dohyun looked around, saw me and Minhee, and came straight this way.
Ye-jun, who almost died at the bottom of the castle, but is now quite mature, and Do-hyeon, who wiped out Ilsan all by himself.
“Is your little brother okay?”
“Yes. Thanks.”
Although they are still young, these two guys have become quite dignified.
Good. It seems like everyone has come now.
“Come on, everyone. Follow me.”
These are the people who will now protect this place. So, you need to know the situation to some extent.
He took everyone to the place where Jangryong lived.
Of course, it’s my room now. I may not spend much time here, but I own this place anyway.
We need to make them aware of that.
No one would do something useless, but even if you think like that, give up right away. No, so as not to feel like that at all.
When we go to Jangryong’s room, everyone’s eyes widen.
Only Min-hee, Manager Jeong, and Seung-gyu, who have been here once, are enjoying the reactions of people looking surprised.
“Everyone sits comfortably.”
I took them to a room made like a conference room and had everyone sit down.
Both the table and the chairs are items that even a stranger would be able to tell were quite luxurious.
It’s quite funny how cautious people are when they pull out a chair and sit down.
So, to my left are the people from the fence, and to my right are the people of Cheongpyeong. Minhee and two children sat in the front.
“Haruka and Aki sit here next to me.”
There is no need to give special treatment, but it can’t be helped because of the seating arrangement.
No. Aki deserves special treatment. Anyway, Aki alone can kill all the people sitting here in 10 minutes.
“This may not be a very interesting story, and some people may have already heard it, but I will tell it as simply as possible.”
I tell stories about China, leader, and Southeast Asia to those gathered.
I said I would tell the story briefly, but because it was such a large-scale story, it was bound to take some time to tell the whole story.
And everyone who heard my story looked at me with a puzzled expression.
Good. Now that’s some background knowledge.
“There’s no need to reveal this, but…”
As soon as I stop, everyone’s expressions on me change from shock to curiosity.
Ah. There’s something thrilling about this. It seems like I’m someone special.
“I have 30 skills.”
And the impact of those words was quite large.
Pence’s external team took over Pyongyang. Is it because they have 7 skills? Is there about 8 now?
Dohyun, who wiped out Ilsan alone, also had 8 skills. I don’t know how many there are now.
The people in Cheongpyeong who had seen me from the beginning, Manager Jeong who heard my whole story, and even Minhee, who knew me the most, were all surprised.
Moreover, even Aki, who was said to be the absolute strongest, looks at me with a puzzled expression.
Well, if I had gained that much skill, I would have a better idea of my level. It’s natural to be surprised.
“And I will continue to clear out the rest of the world. My goal is to eliminate everyone outside this ark.”
Everyone’s face was stiff, and they couldn’t say anything.
This is kind of fun. Well, there’s no way a man wouldn’t enjoy this kind of reaction. That’s the instinct of a male creature, right?
A display of strength. However, if it is too much, the animosity will increase.
“We’ve sorted out all the threats around here, so there should be no threat to the Ark. But that doesn’t mean the threat is zero.”
I feel like my body is shaking slightly because everyone is listening to me.
Still, you shouldn’t show weakness. If it was going to look like that, it would have been better not to create a place like this at all.
“This was the hideout of the guy named Jang Ryong, who was China’s number one that I mentioned earlier. And the guys called the Special Detachment. Did I mention it earlier? I think I killed all of them, but… There could be some that I left out and couldn’t kill. And the coordinates of the gate leading to this hideout. Even if just one of those guys comes in, the damage will be severe, if not all of them.”
People’s facial expressions become more complicated.
“For that, I brought Aki here. Aki here… Is Japanese. And he has about 20 skills. He was probably the strongest person in Japan. He also has the title of Sword Saint.”
People look at Aki with surprised expressions. Then Aki blushes deeply and bows his head.
“Starting today, Aki will be in charge of all defenses of the Ark.”
Aki looked at me and said, ‘This is a slightly different story, right?’, But I ignored it and continued talking.
“Of course, he can’t defend this large area on his own. That’s why I’ve brought everyone here. I am the owner of this ark. And the actual management will be done by the three of us: Manager Jeong, Seung-gyu, and Min-hee. The main member of the defense team is Aki, and everyone here is in the defense team. Cooking will increase the happiness level of this place more than defense.”
Haruka, who was suddenly mentioned, also blushed like Aki a moment ago and lowered her head.
Are all Japanese kids like this? Are all women like this? The reaction is similar.
“But… I feel like your level is a little lacking in order to do that. And the cause of that is ultimately Coin. Everyone thinks that, right?”
People nodding their heads.
Okay. Everyone has the desire to become stronger. But not everyone can do that. Because I don’t have enough coins.
“So, I have something for you all. Now, everyone follows me.”
I turned and opened the gate. A large gate that allows multiple people to enter and exit.
When I entered the gate, everyone got up from their seats and followed me, and we arrived at the place where Jang Ryong’s research center was located.
We immediately turned to search and confirmed that there was no sign of anyone other than us.
I immediately used perspective to look underneath the pit and inside the lab, and the coins were still there.
Hmm. Thank goodness.
“Okay, now it’s time for a treasure hunt. The research building over there, the dormitory over there, the factory over there. If you look around there, you’ll see coins dropped all over the place. Go give them to us. It won’t be a small amount, so you’ll have to be diligent to pick them up. Now, let’s begin! “
The people who hesitated at my words dispersed when I motioned for them to go quickly.
Everyone was scattered, but there were three people who didn’t go to pick up the coins.
Minhee, Aki, Haruka.
“Why aren’t you going?”
“I have a lot. I got some from last time.”
Minhee said with a smile, and I shook my head.
“No, that’s not enough. Pick up some more.”
But Minhee just smiles and continues to stand next to me.
Under. This woman. It’s cute. Are you saying you trust me? Well, if it’s Minhee, I can always save her like last time.
“Aki, what about you?”
“I have a lot.”
Come to think of it, that’s right. He got 65 million or something, right? That’s it then.
“Haruka and you?”
“I… Amn’t I’m cooking?”
“That’s true. Huh. Okay, you stay here too. Anyway, I just need to get each of those pits. Ah. Then, you three can stay here for a while. I have to go back to the prison over there.”
“Come on. We’ll stay here.”
Minhee’s answer with a grin. Hmm… I feel uneasy for some reason.
Would it be wise for me to leave the room with three women in one place?
Could it be something special? Nothing much will happen, right?
It felt a little uncomfortable, but… It can’t be helped.
I left the three women and moved towards the prison to open the locks.
