Changed Body 570

Chapter 570 – The Conspiracy Begins (3)

Approximately 1 m.

The distance between two people sitting facing each other at the end of a long table.

If it were an ordinary person, it might have been a bit far, but not for them.

Their vision is superior to that of humans, so much so that they can clearly see into each other’s pores even from a distance of 1 meter.

The table is filled with all kinds of seafood and delicacies on pretty plates.

In addition, a bottle of wine that is good to drink with a meal.

It seems that the people working in the kitchen were really moved by the couple’s first meal in a long time.

Son Si-woo, seeing this, lightly licks his lips.

“It’s been a long time since we had a meal together like this.”

“I guess so.”

After answering dryly, I calmly count.

When was it?

The last time I sat down to eat with my husband like this.

‘I don’t know.’

I don’t remember very well.

How many months ago?

Or a few years ago?

The picture itself of him sitting at this table and eating together is blurry.

It was natural.

Because she, and no one else, had somehow avoided spending time with him.

When asked why I avoided it, I think I could answer, because I thought it would make me weak.

What he wants to do now, and the future he wants to do, he won’t admit.

I tried my best to ignore it.

We reduced face-to-face time and reduced contact by being buried in work.

So she was curious.

Why didn’t I refuse the usual meal offer this time?

“Eat a lot.”

“Sugar… God too.”

The meal begins with an awkward answer.

“Uhm… ! This is delicious. Honey, try some of this.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The same friendly tone as usual.

But it was somehow unfamiliar.

Has it been a while since I’ve been here?

“A glass of wine too?”

Son Si-woo raises a glass and offers wine.

“… “You like soju more.”

When she asked, Son Si-woo answered like that.

“Because you like wine.”

Yes.

He always catered to himself.

The same goes for her daughter, Seoyeon.

How great it would have been if such warm hearts were limited to family members.

Unfortunately, he was kind and considerate to everyone.

Even though he obviously has likes and dislikes, he also has clothes that fit him well.

I open my mouth that won’t fall out easily and ask him.

“Recently… “How about it?”

“Recently? Everything is good. “I’m in good shape, and it’s nice to have dinner with you like this.”

“…”

It was a difficult answer to understand.

What’s so good about a daily life where you enter the realm of death every day?

At the same time, I became curious.

“Now that I think about it, you haven’t told me yet.”

“What?”

“It’s a way to heal the body.”

“Oh, that.”

When he declared a sabbatical year with the excuse that he was tired.

When everyone said, ‘Son Si-woo could do that,’ she was the only one who didn’t believe him.

Because I know that I am not the type of person who would declare a long rest to the point of exhaustion.

There were only two times in his life when he announced a long break.

To make Seoyeon’s body healthy.

And another thing is when you have to take a break from activities due to an injury sustained in the dungeon.

So it was easy to infer.

It’s clear something happened to him.

Based on that confidence, she went to the doctor who had been with him for a long time and asked.

Please let me know exactly what his physical condition is right now.

Of course, I just caught it at first.

He said there was no problem with his physical condition, but he was just a little tired and recommended rest.

She didn’t believe it.

You may be able to fool everyone in the world, but you cannot fool yourself.

At least for a man named Son Si-woo.

Based on that belief, she worked hard and finally got the answer she wanted.

-“The magic attribute circuit is damaged. “Permanently.”

-“…”

A shocking answer that exceeds expectations.

But it wasn’t as shocking as I thought.

She had a stronger feeling that it had finally come.

Because I have been thinking for a long time that a day like this could come at any time.

Forced to be on the forefront of protecting humanity in the name of a national hunter for a very long time, the dungeons given to him were all dangerous places.

After that, she also looked into ways to heal her damaged magic circuit.

But it was in vain.

She only learned that neither the saint’s healing nor the witch’s elixir could fix the magic circuit.

I did my best.

So I felt a little lighter and relieved.

‘I won’t be able to do hunter activities anymore.’

With his body getting weaker day by day, I thought he wouldn’t insist on being a hunter any longer.

Thanks to this, the preparations made so far have become a little meaningless.

Rather than having to cross a dangerous river, wouldn’t it be better to quietly leave it to the passage of time?

In the midst of all this confusion, something unbelievable happened.

Contrary to her expectations that he would retire after his sabbatical, her husband returned.

I didn’t force her to return with her injured body, but by repairing her body.

‘How on earth?’

The curiosity finally poured out of his mouth.

“I was lucky. “I met someone with very special characteristics.”

“Special… “A characteristic?”

“Huh. In fact, I didn’t fix the broken magic circuit.”

“If it wasn’t fixed… ?”

“To be precise, it would be correct to say replacement. “The existing damaged magic circuit was replaced with a new magic circuit.”

“…”

Her pretty Ami frowned slightly.

“That is…, Is it possible?”

I’ve never heard of it.

Replacing the existing magic attribute circuit with a new magic attribute circuit?

How can I replace it in the first place, and how do I get a new magic circuit?

To this he answered.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know much about that.”

“… “You don’t know?”

“They said it couldn’t be leaked to the outside world because it was their vision.”

“…”

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

The fewer people who know about a special technology, the more valuable it becomes.

But I was curious.

‘It smells very suspicious.’

A procedure that causes an unusual level of discomfort with just a simple explanation.

You just accepted it without really looking into it?

My husband, Son Si-woo, and no one else?

‘Was it so earnest that I couldn’t feel any discomfort, or else…’ .’

Did I undergo the procedure despite feeling uncomfortable?

And who is it?

The person who came to see the injury that only her husband and herself knew about and made such a suspicious offer.

It suddenly occurred to me.

‘That woman.’

A woman who recently joined the guild at her husband’s party.

‘The name is Michelle… Was it.’

Recently, a beautiful woman is always captured at a strange distance that is neither too far nor too close to my husband.

If she is the one who initiated the suspicious procedure, she is right.

The time of her appearance and the time of her husband’s treatment.

“Anyway, you don’t have to worry about my body anymore. Because it’s so refreshing.”

“… If so, I’m glad.”

It’s annoying.

His tone of voice and actions.

Even though she is the person she knows her husband is, she is somehow not gentle and upset.

The packaging covering her exterior is the same, but the ratio of ingredients inside it feels slightly different.

Should we say that it is a difference so subtle that only sensitive people can sense it?

It’s such a minor difference.

But do you know what?

The fact is that from the moment the very small ocet, which is not easy to see even if you look closely, begins to appear, she has a presence that overwhelms the whole.

That’s how she is now.

One dust I found unexpectedly swallowed everything.

So much so that I even began to wonder if the man in front of me was really my husband.

Everything about him started to look different.

“Oh, this is delicious too. As expected, my aunt’s cooking skills…”

Even the way of speaking.

“Honey, why aren’t you eating? The older we get, the better we need to eat…”

Worries that haven’t changed at all.

Whoop!

“It’s good to drink wine sometimes.”

Even the jokes that come out every time I sacrifice my own tastes for my wife’s tastes.

Even as time passes, cracks and cracks appear in familiar images that remain vivid and unforgettable.

And finally I realized.

The reason for the huge sense of discomfort.

“Ah…”

“Huh? “What’s wrong?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“It’s bland.”

Smoke.

Yes, his tone just now was all acting close to the real thing.

It’s like he’s just reciting lines written in a script, without even a hint of heart.

It feels like watching a well-written play by an actor who has studied only Son Si-woo his entire life.

That was precisely the reason for the sense of discomfort I was feeling now.

Even after thinking about it, it was difficult to understand.

‘It doesn’t make sense.’

Why is he playing himself and not someone else?

Then, another possibility arises.

A procedure that healed his body that both saints and witches declared was impossible.

If it changes my husband in any way…, No, what if you urged something more than that?

‘I need to find out.’

What is the identity of the woman named Michelle?

What kind of procedure was performed on him.

In the midst of my head becoming extremely confused, Son Si-woo makes a suggestion.

“Honey.”

“… Yes.”

“It’s been a while since we went to bed together…”

I didn’t want to hear anymore.

Druk!

She stood up and put her chair behind her and sharply refused.

“Sorry. “There is still work to be done.”

“Ah…”

A sigh full of regret.

“I’ll wake up first.”

Leaving this behind, she turns around and heads toward the study.

One step, two steps.

As she climbed the stairs, her face was as cold as the cold snow of the north wind.
