After Returning， I Trained the Iljin Women. 102

Chapter 102 – Episode 102 the Forgiven One

As Do-hyeong watched Min-ah forgiving Ara from the side, many thoughts came to his mind.

She must have gone through as much pain as she did, but it seemed amazing that Minah said she would forgive such a perpetrator.

With her own magic, she is confident that she will win even if she fights against the whole world, but she cannot forgive the perpetrator who hurt her as horribly as Min-ah.

No, she didn’t even have the heart to forgive Dohyeong. All she wanted to do was bury herself in hell, suffering the same pain as herself.

Even if the perpetrator truly repented, as in Minah’s case, she had no idea whether she would be able to forgive the guys who were currently locked in the basement.

When he thought of the people who only verbally expressed regret but did not even have the courage to truly reflect, Dohyeong did not feel like forgiving them.

So, in Dohyeong’s eyes, Minah, who accepted the apple, seemed to shine like the rising sun. She felt envious of Minah, who confidently did what she couldn’t do.

‘If you think about it… It’s been like that since long ago.’

In the past, when Do-hyung was being bullied in high school, I remembered the moment when Min-ah was the only one who stepped forward to help him in a situation where no one else could. If you asked her if she could step up like Minah in a situation where someone else was being bullied, she probably never would have.

When I think of Minah like that, Dohyeong felt so great that I respected her.

Then her eyes met Minah, who was looking at her.

‘Really… Maybe you are a ray of light in my life.’

Even though Dohyeong was just looking at himself without saying a word, he felt his heart warming when he saw Minah. They said someone would fill the gaping hole in her heart, and I felt like I knew what that felt like.

So in another sense, I felt like I shouldn’t get any closer to Minah. She continued to feel like she wouldn’t know how to move forward once she got closer to Minah.

So, Dohyeong avoided Minah’s gaze and approached Ara, who was crying.

“As she promised, Min-a has forgiven you, so I will send you back to her home. As she said, Min-a, you will have to live the rest of your life atoning for your mistakes.”

Ara couldn’t stop crying after hearing Dohyeong’s words. She was so thankful that her Minah accepted her apology, but hearing her say that she could now go home filled her with even more joy.

“Thank you… Hehe! Thank you so much…”

“You should thank Minah, not me. Anyway, you will never see me again. Until I die.”

Dohyeong bowed his head and looked at Ara who was on the floor, then moved her gaze to Minah who was standing next to her.

“Well Min Aya, she thanked me for coming all the way here. Does she by any chance have anything more to say with this guy?”

“No… I don’t think I have anything more to say. My relationship with Ara… Should end now. I… Don’t want to dwell on the past anymore. I want to move forward to a better future.”

Minah shook her head at Dohyeong’s words. And she smiled brightly, emphasizing the word future, and looked at Do-hyeong’s face.

Dohyung smiled slightly at Minah’s face smiling at him.

“Okay, then I understand. Go home carefully. I’m sending this guy back to his original home.”

Just as Dohyeong was about to extend her hand to Ara, who was sitting down after shaking her hand, Minah came up to Dohyeong and grabbed Ara’s outstretched hand.

“By any chance… By any chance, you’re not lying, are you?”

Dohyeong turned his head and saw Minah’s face with an anxious expression. When she listened to Mina speak, it seemed like she knew what she was thinking without having to use magic to read her mind.

Perhaps what Minah was worried about was that after sending Minah away, he might kill her Ara to prevent her from going back. She felt like she could make that choice, especially since Minah knows that Dohyeong can use magic and since Ara’s body could easily be discarded.

“Oh, don’t worry. No matter what, I won’t kill you or kill you to avoid gossip. No matter what I say to these scum, I will at least keep my promise.”

Ara, who was crying the moment the word “Kill” Came out of her Dohyeong’s mouth, flinched for a moment because she had no idea that he was going to kill her.

“Well, that’s good, but… I understand. Then, let’s talk for a bit after I bring Ara. Is that okay?”

“That…”

Dohyung could not easily answer Minah’s words. As she said to Minah, she had no intention of killing Ara, and after taking her to her house, she planned to go back to her house and sort out what happened today.

But when Minah said she wanted to stay with her a little longer, she didn’t know what to do and couldn’t get the words out easily.

Just a moment ago, she thought she should stay away from Minah, but she felt that her heart was about to break easily when Minah tried to get closer to her. Just like when she first met Minah at her convenience store. Even then, after she recognized him as Minah, she tried to just break up with him, but she ended up continuing her relationship to this day.

“… Okay. I’ll take this guy with me and then come back.”

“Thank you, for doing me a favor.”

Minah’s expression brightened again at the fact that her request had been granted.

Ara just listened blankly to the conversation between the two and shed tears.

“Okay, then I’m going to send you home now. But I don’t plan on sending you off kindly. Now, watch this carefully.”

Dohyeong said to Ara, pointing to his open right hand with his left hand. Ara shifted her gaze to Dohyeong’s right hand and as she was concentrating on it, a small explosion suddenly occurred on her Dohyeong’s palm, startling her and almost causing her to fall behind.

“Aaaaah! Whah… Wow… What is that…

“It’s not just this. This is also possible.”

Dohyeong created a sharp piece of ice on the palm that had just been frozen by the explosion and then sent it flying to the side of Ara’s face.

“Ugh!”

The sharp part of the ice sculpture thrown by Dohyeong grazed Ara’s cheek, leaving a small wound. With that alone, Ara could know that what was unfolding before her eyes was not a dream or magic, but reality.

“Well, it might be hard to believe if I just told you, but I can use magic like this. Not only was I able to easily kidnap you from home, I’m planning to use magic to send you home soon.”

“Ah…”

Ara became anxious at Dohyeong’s words. She said she wouldn’t take her own life, but she was so scared that she suddenly showed her magic just now and that she wouldn’t let her go back to her. Then she realized that it was strange that she had casually said that she would be sent home.

What Dohyeong did is clearly something that can never be tolerated in today’s society. However, it was a risk that Do-hyeong could suffer a great blow if he were to easily let go after witnessing and actually experiencing the whole thing.

However, it was really strange to hear that he would easily let go just because he was forgiven by Minah, and on top of that, it was unusual to suddenly see in front of his eyes that it was a magic that would make him look like a crazy person if he told anyone about it.

But there was nothing Ara could do. I just desperately hope that her figure will be sent away safely without doing anything to her body.

Easily ignoring Ara’s feelings, Dohyeong briefly placed her hand on Ara’s head and then removed her hand.

“From now on, I have placed a magic on your head. Depending on what you do, you will be able to return to your normal life with a magic that has no effect. On the other hand, if you choose a strange option… It will probably lead to bad results.”

“W-what do you mean…?”

“The spell I’ve placed on your head right now is a time bomb spell.”

Ara was shocked to discover that her bomb magic had been installed in her own head. What she said made it sound like she could explode her head whenever she wanted, so she couldn’t help it.

“This is a bomb that I can control and detonate, or that can explode if you do something regardless of my will. It’s simple, right? Of course, I have no intention of activating this magic. As I promised to Min-ah, I will bring you home safely. “I’m thinking of sending it back. But you know too much to just let it go. If I tell you this much, you can understand, right?”

At Dohyeong’s words, Ara nodded her head vigorously.

The intention of the shape was very simple. What she meant was that she should live her life erasing from her mind everything that Ara had seen since being caught by Do-hyeong. It was like a warning to her not to tell anyone and to live quietly without telling anyone.

“If you tell anyone about my identity or write about it, my head will be blown off on the spot. Well, if you want to risk that and let the world know what happened to you, I don’t mind doing that.”

“Oh, no! I will never tell anyone! I will not tell anyone even after I die and go into the grave!!”

Ara desperately shook her head and clung to Dohyeong’s legs.

Now, finally, the chance to return to normal life has finally come, but Ara never wanted to tell anyone that she was throwing away her life over something like this. However, it wasn’t a good story for him to tell anyone.

“You should. Of course you should. Then I’ll send you home now.”

Dohyeong left those words and disappeared in an instant along with Ara.

@@@

After Dohyeong disappeared, Minah was left alone in the park.

“Ara… I guess you sent her off well…?”

Minah believed that since she said that Dohyeong would send her back without killing her, she would definitely keep her promise. And when she returned, she wondered what she should say to Dohyeong.

She had a lot to say, whether it was talking about the forgiveness that had just happened or asking what she was going to do next.

Even though she thought about it, it wasn’t easy for her to choose the option of forgiving Ara. Although she said she forgave Ara, she couldn’t deny that in her heart she still harbored resentment toward Ara.

But Minah had forgotten her feelings and wanted to live a new life.

Ever since she met Dohyeong, she felt like she could dream of her future. Maybe someone would say, Minah thought, that maybe she could feel this way just because her figure healed her own scars. She said that and she wanted to completely deny it.

The look in her eyes when she first saw her at the convenience store was so normal that it could not be compared to anyone else’s. At that time, when she saw herself with her hideous appearance, most people reacted by being surprised, frowning, etc., But Dohyeong looked at her without any problem and went out of his way to help her.

She was so shocked when she saw the video of Do-hyung committing torture-like things to others that she could not even imagine in order to get revenge on her.

So I wanted to capture more shapes.

Because it was a shape that seemed like it would be destroyed if left as is.

Looking at Dohyeong’s appearance, the saying came to mind: if you’re going to take revenge, dig two graves.

It is clear that Do-hyung is revenge, but Min-ah, who thought that he was doing something that should not be done as a human being, wanted to make him stop doing it and let Do-hyung reflect on what he did and walk the path of atonement.

Minah felt that she was popular and looked behind her to see that a Sanga figure had returned behind Minah using teleportation magic. The moment Minah saw her shape, she immediately spoke up.

“You came back? Ara… Did you send her back safely?”

“Yeah. The magic I planted in his head probably wouldn’t work if he didn’t talk nonsense. I don’t know how it would look to you, but… It was a choice I had no choice about.”

“It’s okay, I understand that… Maybe that’s the atonement Ara needs to solve.”

The two people stopped talking and there was silence for a moment. Meanwhile, Minah carefully brought out the words she was thinking about.

“Now… When you get back home, you’re going to seek revenge again, right?”

“That’s… Of course. That’s the only reason I came back here…”

“In that case… Let’s call!”

Dohyung tilted his head at Minah’s sudden words.

“Phone call?”

“Honestly, I would like to ask you to meet me every day, but I think that would be a bit too much for me, so just call me every night and talk. That’s okay, right?”

Dohyeong was momentarily surprised by Minah’s unexpected answer, but thought that her phone call would be okay, so he nodded to her.

Minah thanked her Dohyung for granting her request and the two parted ways, returning to their respective homes that night.

Do-hyeong, who was returning home, wondered what to do with the remaining Su-jin, Hye-min, and Dong-eun.

I don’t know if the three people truly reflected like Ara, but when I read their minds, it didn’t seem like they would change their minds that easily.

“Then… I should use them as sacrifices for the game. I should use them to make my slaves suffer…”

In the past, Dohyung would have smiled happily while saying this, but today for some reason, he couldn’t smile.
