Chapter 16 – New Encounters
“Hey! Jihyeok! Did you see this?”
A male colleague puts his cell phone in front of me.
There was Leona, slashing her sword at Aktoa’s eyeball.
Poor quality photos, like those taken with an old film camera.
Dr. Cathy tried hard in various ways to not leave such a photo or video, but this analog method could not be helped.
Among the things that increased the reputation of the Beast Slayer were these vintage items.
“Saw. It was all over the internet.”
“You can’t look closely, but she’s a pretty woman. Besides, he’s a real-life superhero. Do you have any idea?”
“Well…? What?”
“His hair is light blue, but I can’t tell if he’s a foreigner or a Korean… His body is crazy, but I really want to see him just once.”
“You’re more interested in that woman’s face than the appearance of the monster?”
“The monster did not harm me. I was playing games at home on the day of the incident. Besides, compared to the monster that first appeared, there wasn’t much damage.”
On Monday, Hankuk University blossomed with the story of Aktoa and Leona.
Wherever I went, at any time, the story popped up, and it was mainly about Leona.
On the other hand, people who wanted to grow older were interested in monsters.
He began seriously inferring where he came from and why he came, and he said that we should prepare through proper research.
Korea was now receiving tremendous attention from all over the world.
Magical girls and monsters are a huge topic of conversation, not only to the World Federation but also to the general public.
There were all kinds of speculations and conspiracy theories, such as being a superhuman raised by secretly injected drugs by the government, or a new race from an alien planet.
There was even a fan club.
Less than a day after the cafe was created, the number of members exceeded 2 million due to the rush of people from all over the world to sign up.
Sehwa, the main character of the topic, was so embarrassed.
After the afternoon class, I heard a complaint from Sehwa who was waiting for me at the main gate.
“I’m going crazy… It’s all about that.”
“Yeah, that’s right. A magical girl who fights against monsters… Who the hell wouldn’t be curious?”
“It’s not a magical girl, it’s just a transformation…”
“Shh. Lower your voice and go home.”
Saehwa, who noticed her mistake at my words, looked around.
Fortunately, no one heard, so she let out a sigh of relief.
“Haa… Her head is messed up. What is the doctor doing now?”
Doctor? By now, you know how to prepare for the monsters.
Since the Evelyn energy is not showing up, it is busy making contact with the World Federation.
Me and Sehwa just sit still and watch the situation.
I said with a smile.
“Don’t think too complicated, let’s go in. The doctor said Stop thinking and live in reality. And you said you really want to do this. Wouldn’t it be better to try to adapt?”
“I just can’t get used to it right now.”
“Then don’t mention it. Isn’t it simple?”
“Okay…”
“Shall we go and buy some tteokbokki?”
“No. Let’s just go… I want to go and rest.”
“Okay.”
Sehwa was worried that her classmates would find out that I was living in my officetel.
She pretended to wait for the bus because she went away with me.
I took a beer from home and lay down on the sofa, waiting for Sehwa to ring the doorbell.
Right now, she will definitely, definitely want to do something with me.
Ding-dong!
It was as expected.
I opened the door and smiled without saying anything and let Saehwa inside.
She hurried over to my sofa and sat down with her back.
She was holding several kinds of sweets in her hand.
“What sweets are these?”
“I bought it because it looked delicious… Give me a beer too.”
“You take it out yourself.”
“Oh little! I’m stressed out!”
She suddenly exclaimed.
Stunned, I shook her head and took out a beer and threw it at Sehwa.
Then Saehwa took it with a flustered gesture and frowned at her.
She cutely played her whimper.
“Why are you tossing around?”
“Shut up.”
After answering like a knife, I turned on the TV, moving away from Saehwa.
After that, without saying anything, I watched the entertainment program with an expressionless expression.
Sehwa, who was almost stuffing her sweets into her mouth, on such a day, she glanced at her and wiggled her feet.
She came up to me with a nudge on her hip.
“Jihyuk. Are you mad?”
“No.”
“But why are you so cold?”
“It’s not cold, you’re watching TV.”
“It’s not fun.”
“Fun.”
“It’s a variety show… You never laughed.”
Not answering that, I changed my posture.
She rested her head on her armrest and laid her legs on either side of Sehwa’s body.
Still, his eyes were on the TV.
Sehwa, who was watching me like that, came closer.
I didn’t really stop her.
As a result, Sehwa, whose face brightened, came into my chest and turned her body to lie down.
She even grabs my arm and puts it under her chest.
Then he apologized to me.
“I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry about?”
“Immature foolishness…”
“I know.”
“But I depend on you… So much…”
Who is Yoo Seung-hyun?
Aren’t you the first person you can turn to when you’re having a hard time?
These questions were about to come out of my throat.
It’s not that I didn’t ask because I was afraid of Sehwa’s answer.
If you ask me, I can ask right now.
It’s good to shake it.
However, Se-hwa must continue to meet Yoo Seung-hyeon.
I have to meet him for a long time, agonize between me and him, and then slowly roll myself into the net I cast.
I said while fiddling with Sehwa’s hand.
“I have somewhere to go after school tomorrow. I’ll be back late, so go to bed first.”
“Where are you going? Are you going to see the secretary you talked about last time?”
“No.”
“Can I go with you too? Bored at night…”
“No.”
Saehwa took her fingernails to her mouth and chewed them.
He seemed annoyed because he didn’t tell me his destination.
But it seemed that he was reluctant to question me for fear of getting angry again.
“I’ll give you a card, so go out and play with your friends.”
“I have money…”
“Who said what? Just write Think of it as welfare. Welfare for the world’s heroes.”
“…. Do not say that. Childish…”
“Anyway, write it. Eat what you want to eat, and buy what you want to buy.”
“…..”
“Answer.”
“Ah Okay.”
Satisfied, I nodded her head and gently stroked Saehwa’s thin chin.
“And the hair style looks so stuffy…”
“Okay…? I guess it’s because the pump is loose. Shall we go to the beauty salon tomorrow and put it back on?”
Yoo Seung-hyun really liked Sehwa’s innocent-looking hairstyle.
But I didn’t like that.
The style itself is fine, but it’s just that Yoo Seung-hyun likes it, so I can just say that I don’t like it.
“Make a bold change. I like seeing the nape of my neck.”
“That… I’ll think about it.”
Think about it? Then when you come back, your hair style will have changed.
I raised the corner of my mouth and laughed lowly.

The next day, as soon as class was over, I flew to Daejeon.
It was to see Yuria.
The tracking monster has not been remodeled, so I still only see the location, and the surveillance camera can’t even look inside the house.
That’s why I had to sell my feet like this.
‘Yuria is classified as an official immigrant by the government, so she is not an illegal alien.’
But how was it possible to become an immigrant?
I didn’t marry a Korean, and I didn’t get a job anywhere.
It is certain that he lives alone.
There is a possibility that someone is helping, but no one looked suspicious on the surveillance cameras.
There were only horny guys who were fascinated by Yuria’s beauty and clung to it.
While thinking about this and that, I was on my way to the place where YuRia lived, when I heard a text notification sound from my cell phone.
I checked and it was a credit card payment.
Payment at a karaoke bar in Handae Street. Apparently, he went to sing with his friends.
I smiled and tried to put my phone in, but I got a message from Sehwa.
[I came to karaoke with my classmates. After it’s over, I’ll go and see Seunghyun. It’s been a while since I haven’t seen you.]
Huh, do you dare to attach a sajok?
Are you trying to make me jealous?
Do whatever you want, Sehwa.
Would you even tell Yoo Seung-hyun that you got a girl?
I sent a reply by touching the screen.
[Do it yourself. I’m busy so I can’t see the text anymore.]
I tucked away my phone and went to YuRia’s house and looked around.
A pretty decent neighborhood.
There are apartments and there are shops.
There were a lot of cameras, so it was a safe place.
I manipulated the surveillance camera screen of my route, checked YuRia’s real-time location, and then found an empty alley nearby and entered and changed my appearance.
Kududeuk! Kuduk!
A body that transforms with a grotesque sound.
The body is slightly dwarfed, and there are some wrinkles all over the face.
Also, a thick beard grew on his nose and chin, making him look like a middle-aged man in his 50s.
“Ah. Ah.”
I liked the change in his voice.
Anyway, the feeling when transforming was very dirty.
I was especially annoyed by the strange and unpleasant feeling of the bones being realigned.
It was when I, who grumbled so much in my heart, came out to the streets again.
“Excuse me! Wait a minute…! Wait a minute, mister!”
A thin voice, like an angel singing, came from behind.
The heroine of the 2nd episode, and the one who pierced my whole body with arrows at the end.
Yuria was calling me from behind.
‘I thought I’d catch you.’
Yuria was supposed to catch me unconditionally.
It’s because my appearance was a mirror image of her deceased father.
It’s not exactly the same, but the key parts are similar.
For example, parts such as the back, body, and hair style.
‘I’ll be more surprised when I look back.’
Thinking that, I turned around.
In his vision, he sees a blue-eyed woman with blonde hair hanging down one shoulder.
Fox-like eyes, thick lips, fair skin… A gait exuding the elegance of a supermodel.
Unlike Sehwa, who has a spoonful or two of cuteness, she is a tall woman who exudes an air of arrogant cold beauty.
It was Yulia Elenar.
When she saw my face, she was stunned in astonishment.
Of course, because his dead father and his facial features were similar.
It was so nice to see that arrogant face crumpled.
I haven’t seen such a rapid emotional change in the game, but it’s quite fun.
I turned around with a puzzled face.
“What are you doing?”
This is also a voice similar to her father’s.
It was that of a middle-aged gentleman who was low-key, calm, and benevolent.
As much as the way of speaking, it resembled that of an earthling.
This time, YuRia put her hand to her mouth and vomited, as if she was feeling sick to her stomach.
“Ugh…!”
I approached her, playing her middle-aged man, stunned with her whole body.
“Oops… Are you okay? I wonder if she did it too… Where is the pharmacy…”
Her gaze slowly rose and turned to me.
Unbelievable expressions and eyes.
The dark pupils between the blue irises tremble as if an earthquake had struck.
Her red strawberry lips parted.
And from there, a language that does not exist on Earth came out.
“Oh, father…?”
is mc a bipolar or something? he is kind to sehwa then suddenly he become cold as hell, next moment he is kind again. wtf? the author not even explaining why he did that. i thought he actually loves her but more chapters i read the more i think he actually only treat her as a bitch
He is being manipulative. Acting cold to make her want to get his approval and then reward her.
Aprende un poco a como “manipular” que de esto basicamente se trata la novela, el mc esta tratando que la cabeza de la heroina quede en caos y hacerla dependiente de el.
PD: Basicamente es un yandere masculino el tipo hahaha.
