Chapter 133 – How to Tame Her (4)
They say that time is medicine.
That one short sentence may not be able to respond to all the pain in the world, but at least there are moments when it is sufficiently effective.
At a time like right now.
“Hey, isn’t it a pity that your weak hair is starting to wear off now?”
Shin Yoo-jeong, who was walking side by side with her, is mocking me with a very grumpy expression.
The medicine he said means people’s interest.
Among many, many people, there are many, many people who want to drive issues, and that’s how many issues come out every day.
Then, naturally, the issues of the past will be forgotten as the glories of the past.
Of course, if I had done something when I was in the middle of a heated issue, the heat would have lasted a little longer, but since I was consistent from beginning to end with no response, it cooled down much faster.
“Rather good.”
This is the truth without any lies.
There were times when I benefited from popularity, but other than that, there were only inconvenient disadvantages.
After living like that for over 20 years, now I really like it when people passing by on the street don’t show any interest in me and just walk on my own path.
“Right now is just the right level.”
Public interest has almost cooled.
What interests me right now are some of the members of the absurd fan club, guild scouts, and college classmates and seniors.
Isn’t this the level of taking care of the practical benefits and carrying only the inconveniences that are worth enduring?
“In that sense, one chapter.”
Pick up your smartphone and leave a selfie at an appropriate angle.
I recently started using social media.
What kind of SNS is it all of a sudden?
Some extreme fans came to the school because I didn’t do social media and didn’t have enough pictures to fantasize about, and they openly started voyeurism, not voyeurism, in order to find materials for fanfare.
Tired of dealing with them one by one, I decided to start an SNS.
I upload a picture about once a week, but every time I upload it, I threaten to stop uploading a picture if I come back from now on, but it calms down.
… If there’s a slight side effect, it’s that there are bitches who send nonsensical confessions or photos via direct message, that is, DM.
“Right, did you start SNS?”
“Uh. They keep coming back, so I thought it would be better if I just brought it to you.”
“Who did you trade with?”
The glowing eyes warm the sides of the face.
“There is no one yet.”
“Hehe… , Yes?”
As soon as he heard the answer, he immediately felt better and took out his smartphone.
“Sell me right.”
“Yes, what.”
After searching for his ID and following him, I briefly looked at the uploaded photos.
Exercising photos, photos taken after raiding dungeons, ordinary daily photos, etc.
“You… , Do you work hard on SNS?”
“This is all future property.”
Oh
Come to think of it, he said his dream was to become like Son Si-woo.
It seems that he is trying to build a foundation through SNS uploads steadily since he was an aspiring student.
I feel pitiful for nothing.
Among many, many hunters, Son Si-woo is a role model.
That’s a good looking dog…
“Hey, are you really good at taking pictures?”
Likewise, Shin Yoo-jung, who was looking at my photos, looks at me in surprise.
“They say they don’t like it again if I take pictures at random. So she only learned a little bit about the angles she took pictures of.”
“Where?”
“Of course…”
“It must be his Internet.”
“… Answer.”
The Internet, a convenient excuse for former homeless people.
Of course, the real reason is different.
As I said before, I have been living in the interest of people for more than 20 years.
Of course, social media was included in my activities so far, and basically, I had to learn how to take pictures without looking ugly, so they forced me to teach them that I hate things like humiliating pictures and black history.
He glances at me with thinly opened eyes, and then says something that he doesn’t like.
“A very versatile kid.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“I’m unlucky.”
“Ooh, even praised.”
After accepting all the words pouring in without any damage, the disgusted guy turns away.
“I’m going to exercise.”
“Oh, work hard.”
Recently, Shin Yoo-jung’s exercise time has become longer.
Until I can keep up with Elena’s physical strength, she says it’s special training again, but I don’t know if it’s possible.
Shin Yu-jeong has a very strong stamina, but Elena is a monster that is hard to find in people her age.
Even she has an enormous amount of training, so I wonder if it will be hard to catch up with her training alone.
“Ah.”
She realized anew that I had an elixir that would increase his stamina.
“A hundred year old evening primrose remained, indeed.”
He had forgotten that there were still petals of the hundred-year-old evening primrose that restored Jung-hee’s youth.
Eating this will activate her bodily functions, so it will greatly help her increase her stamina.
“It’s time to feed them slowly.”
You must have had a hot night, and thanks to that, your relationship must have deepened.
Now, it seems that they are close enough to give her a few petals of evening primrose.
Sooner or later, I’ll call you to the rooftop and make you a cup of tea.
I leave the front door, lost in thought, but I see a familiar face and a sedan in the distance.
Hwang In-guk, the old man who came to me a week ago and took me to the Magic Tower.
When our eyes meet, he approaches with respectful steps and bows.
“Hello, Mr. Kim Dojin.”
“Ah yes.”
The old man, who could only say what he had to say, handed me an item he found after searching for me.
“The Master of the Magic Tower ordered to deliver it to Mr. Kim Do-jin.”
The object handed over was none other than a black envelope sealed with red candle wax.
The sensation felt at the fingertips is quite luxurious, but what is in it?
“What is this?”
Then the old man smiled sadly and shook his head.
“Well. I was only ordered to deliver it, but I do not know what the contents are.”
“… That’s right.”
I forgot.
The fact that the loyalty of that inspiration is blind.
If the person he attends tells you to do, he will probably do anything without a word.
Even if it is a criminal act that is completely incomprehensible.
“I delivered the goods correctly, so I will go now.”
“…”
One might wonder at least once in a while about what was in the envelope, but the old man finished his work and drove away without looking back.
Alone, I looked at the envelope carefully, but couldn’t hold back my curiosity and gently removed the wax with my fingers.
Soon, what could be seen through the naturally widening gap was nothing like a letter.
“Business card… ?”
What was in the envelope was a business card.
The personal business card of Han Joo-hee, the owner of the Magic Tower, embroidered with the magic circle of the six-pointed star symbolizing the Magic Tower and the pattern of the long tower that seems to soar through the sky in gold.
“But this color… ?”
The color of the business card is quite different from what I knew.
The color of her business card I know is white, but the one she is holding now is black, the exact opposite.
Did he even sell a new business card in a short time?
I checked to see if there was something different, and the number written there was also different.
“…”
She uses two smartphones.
One for work and one for personal use.
Bondi business cards should have a business number written on them, but this business card has the number of a personal smartphone written on it.
“Look at this.”
It’s a bit ridiculous.
I didn’t even know he was using two business cards.
A white business card and a black business card… , What criteria are these two business cards used for?
Curious, I immediately took out my smartphone and called the number written on it.
A short beep.
After a while, her voice was heard.
-Who are you?
Only the tip slightly rises, and in the rest of the section, the tone is barely perceptible, and the tone is indifferent.
“This is Kim Dojin.”
-Ah, it looks like the business card has just arrived.
I can’t stand it because I’m curious.
What kind of people is this business card delivered to, and what value does it have, so they ask their right arm to deliver it?
But she couldn’t ask directly, so she turned around and told the story.
“Are the business cards very luxurious?”
– It has to be. Because that business card is a special business card that is delivered only to a very few people, not just anyone.
I almost cried for a moment.
How the hell did they organize that very few, so even I, her husband, don’t know.
But after she managed to gather her mind, she spat out the words as refined as possible.
“I was honored to receive a business card that very few receive.”
– After a few days of research, I got it. That you are a person who deserves it.
“Study…”
Well, I thought it would.
Compared to her younger days and now, she is a woman who has changed a lot.
But there is one thing that hasn’t changed at all.
Just passion and tenacity for magic.
Since ancient times, when she sees a unique magic that she has never thought of, she is the one who used to devote days and days only to her research in order to dig up it.
So, in the old days, she was forced to do childish alternatives like, ‘Is it me, is it magic?’
In the past, he would smile and choose me right away… , I didn’t ask after getting a little older.
I was afraid that the answer I wanted would not come out, and I was afraid that it would become a boil from scratching.
– I’ll listen to anything I can do. Instead, there is one condition.
Are you right
First, I asked for rice cakes.
Before long, the condition came out of her mouth.
– Once a month, please join me in my research.
I said something because it was a condition, but it was a story related to magic research again.
“If it’s a study…”
-The subject will be different each time.
Participation in a study where the subject changes each time…
Suddenly, with an eerie feeling for no reason, I asked cautiously.
“Trying to open my body… , Isn’t it?”
-For the first time in my life, I was interested in human anatomy…
“…”
-Unfortunately, I’m not a mad scientist, I’m a wizard.
It was, indeed.
She is such a person
A passionate eccentric who can solve all the mysteries and questions that pop into his head with magic.
In the past, he even said that he coveted my swordsmanship, and after analyzing it magically, he rushed to embed it into a golem he had made, but when it failed, he cut off contact for three days, saying he was angry.
– Research one thing you want at a time. Sounds like a good deal, doesn’t it?
From her proposal, I can feel that this is the Maginot Line.
“What if I decline this offer?”
-Unfortunately, our deal will also be canceled. The business card you’re holding in your hand will burn away.
It was not a bluff to lead the deal in an advantageous way.
Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.
In the first place, the wish was nothing more than a simple smoke screen thrown at random.
What I really needed was contact with her, itself.
In other words, just by being offered a regular meeting once a month under the guise of research, I already gained the most benefit.
Openly excluding her favorite tee, he accepts her offer with a tone of faint joy.
“Well… , It would be rude to push only my position. I will accept that offer.”
-Like. Then, I wish you well in the future.
“I am.”
– Then, I have a lot of overdue work, so stop.
A phone call that cuts off just before the deal is concluded.
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
It is a satisfactory transaction.
She achieved what she wanted in her own way, and I got the best results in my own way.
I look down at the black business card placed on my palm and think about it.
“My wife was a woman with many secrets.”
Only one thing was certain.
Unlike me who lived with everything open, she lived hiding quite a few things from me.
Thanks, the purpose has changed.
At first, I was simply trying to seduce her, but… , I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied with that much.
“I need to know everything.”
I want to know everything from one to ten.
What are the secrets she has been hiding even from me, her husband?
Even though our relationship is over… , I don’t think my embarrassment will go away if I don’t figure this out.
At the same time, intuition whispers to me.
The reason why she turned so cold was also hidden in that secret.
A laugh that is hard to contain comes out.
Because she was able to uncover the truth of the mystery that she thought would never be solved.
“Let’s play properly sometime, you.”
More intense than ever, the desire welled up.
