Chapter 1179 – 1179. Hero Military Academy (7)
Cho Kang-hyun pours demonic energy into Cho Seo-hyeon’s head.
If it were me in the past, I would have run out a long time ago and smashed Cho Kang-hyeon’s head.
But…
‘… ‘It’s the past anyway.’
Rather than being angry about the past, I wanted to save Cho Seo-hyun, who is living in the present.
In order to do so, I decided that I needed to secure even the smallest piece of information without missing it.
As I looked at him with such anger…
“Huh?”
Cho Kang-hyeon made a curious voice and tilted his head.
‘Did you get caught?’
But I quickly learned that my worries were an illusion.
“To me… My younger brother… Uh… Doesn’t exist…”
Cho Seohyun was struggling to maintain her memories while being injected with magical energy by Cho Kanghyeon.
Cho Kang-hyeon sees the situation not going as she wanted…
“As expected, he is the person I thought of.”
She started laughing rather happily.
Cho Kang-hyeon maintained her demonic energy and gave Cho Seo-hyeon her last words.
“Please be like the family I met before… Please don’t break it.”
At the same time as Cho Kang-hyun said…
‘… Is this the end?’
Noise covered it again and the dream began to reset.
Realizing that there was no more information to find out, I made a promise to myself as I watched Cho Seohyun as a child becoming more and more buried by noise.
‘I will definitely bring you out of this nightmare, so just wait until then.’
I resolved to do so and lifted myself out of the deep sleep.
.
.
Before I even opened my eyes, I heard Armonia’s voice.
[I was worried because it took so long.]
‘Ah… Sorry.’
I apologized and opened my eyes and looked out the window.
The room, which had been filled with golden light when I fell asleep, was now covered in red light.
I could tell it was evening just by looking at it.
I carefully lifted the red-covered blanket.
Inside the lifted blanket…
“Puuuuu…”
Cho Seohyun was hugging me tightly and muttering.
I felt guilty for leaving Cho Seo-hyun in my dream, and carefully stroked the head of Cho Seo-hyun, who was hugging me.
“Huh…”
“…”
Cho Seohyun smiles brightly when I pet her.
As I watched Cho Seo-hyun laugh, Armonia expressed her curiosity to me.
[Can I ask why it took so long?]
‘Ah, that…’
I told Armonia everything about the scene I saw in Cho Seo-hyeon’s dream, without adding or subtracting anything.
Cho Kang-hyeon’s identity and abilities, Cho Seo-hyeon’s past and scars, etc…
After telling all the stories I had seen through the dream, I asked Armonia.
‘Armonia, can’t you find out about demonic energy through the temperament window?’
[Sorry, I tried looking for it too…]
Unfortunately, it was not possible to find information about demon energy through the temperament window.
For reference, the reason why the temperament window does not show information about demon energy is not because the temperament window is backward compatible with demon energy.
[Only the symptoms were indicated on the temperament of a person infected with demonic energy.]
‘There is no explanation about the demonic energy itself?’
[That’s right. If you want to know accurate information about Magi… You can just look at Cho Kang-hyeon’s temperament window.]
To know about demonic energy, you have to look at Cho Kang-hyeon’s temperament window, but I can’t actually see Cho Kang-hyeon’s temperament window.
‘It’s a story that we don’t know.’
[Yes.]
If you see Armonia talking like that, it would be meaningless to look into it any further.
Still, it wasn’t all that disappointing.
“Hvuuu…”
I smiled as I stroked Cho Seohyun, who was hugging me and breathing into my side.
‘Once I found out the information I needed.’
Thanks to Cho Seo-hyeon, I was able to obtain a lot of valuable information.
I carefully pulled her away, leaving a note of thanks to her Cho Seohyun in her mind.
When I tried to pull Seohyun away, she withdrew her smile and hugged me tightly while muttering.
I thought I might have woken up, but…
“Kazuma…”
I was just hugging him and when I was about to leave, he stopped me in my sleep.
I smiled bitterly at Cho Seo-hyun’s appearance and comforted her as if persuading her.
“I want to go to the bathroom? Please let me go…”
“Kazuma…”
“…”
After arguing with Cho Seo-hyun for a while, I was finally able to get out of bed.
As soon as I got out of bed, I immediately got dressed, went into the bathroom, and took a deep breath as if my lungs were going to burst.
Then, he exhaled loudly enough to fill the entire bathroom and let out a voice full of determination.
“… Let’s call.”
I said that and cast the soul summoning spell.
As soon as I cast the soul summoning spell, a man appeared in front of me not long after.
The man’s identity is…
(… I thought I would never call again for the rest of my life.)
It was Cho Yeon-ho.
I thought that as soon as Cho Yeon-ho appeared, he would reveal his murderous intentions to me.
However, Cho Yeon-ho, who had just appeared, turned his body to the side and glanced at me with one of his eyes.
I asked, rather embarrassed by Cho Yeon-ho’s surprisingly calm appearance.
“… Are you okay?”
(… It’s not okay.)
“Haha…”
I actually felt grateful to Cho Yeon-ho for answering like that.
If I were in Cho Yeon-ho’s position, I would have drawn my sword right now and breathed out my life as if I were breathing.
Cho Yeon-ho looked at my awkward smile with a calm expression, then sighed and raised his head.
(At first, I was so angry that my brain was twisted.)
Cho Yeon-ho explained how he felt when he found out about my relationship with Cho Seo-hyun.
My beloved daughter.
The man the daughter loved happened to be a man with a history with women.
How many fathers can be calm knowing that?
No, I wondered if it existed.
Even though I don’t have a daughter, just thinking about it for a moment makes me feel angry.
However, throughout the explanation, Cho Yeon-ho’s face was filled with sadness, not anger.
The reason he was sad was simple.
(After thinking about it… I don’t have the right to be angry.)
“…”
(If I hadn’t left her like that in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened…)
He thought that his fault for leaving his child behind was much bigger than that of me, who was a womanizer.
As I listened to Cho Yeon-ho’s lament, I began to feel strongly worried.
‘Should I tell you?’
The reason I called Cho Yeon-ho was not just because I wanted to apologize.
It was to talk about Cho Kang-hyeon, who is making fun of Cho Seo-hyeon.
‘Isn’t it just a case of saying something for no reason and then going on a rampage?’
[… There is a possibility. But I think speaking is better.]
‘Why?’
Cho Yeon-ho was currently one of my strong allies.
She thought that it would be no good to make him mentally unstable as her trust in him was now low.
But Armonia’s thoughts were different.
[Because I think I should embrace my anxiety so that I can help Suho more actively.]
‘Aha…’
I nodded my head at Armonia’s words without realizing it.
Even if I don’t say anything, Cho Yeon-ho will help me.
However, if I recognize that her daughter is in danger, I will ignore any remaining distrust and actively help.
[Above all, if you get caught later, things will get more complicated.]
‘I guess so.’
Having fallen for Armonia’s persuasion, I immediately began explaining the truth to Cho Yeon-ho.
“Did you know that Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon has a younger brother?”
(A younger brother? I don’t know if my memory is distorted this time, but I didn’t have any children other than Seohyun.)
“That is…”
Cho Yeon-ho, who was listening to my explanation…
(Seohyun… Her memories were manipulated by that guy…?)
A anger so strong that it was not enough to sum up all the anger that had been shown to me so far was covering my entire body.
He looked like a demon who wanted to relieve his anger by killing a stranger.
“Just calm down for now. “I’ll explain to you about that super strong string.”
(Okay… Say it…)
After calming down Cho Yeon-ho, he began to explain about Cho Kang-hyeon, who manipulated Cho Seo-hyeon’s memories.
I explained the part about Cho Kang-hyeon, which is well-known to the outside world.
The reason why I explained the external aspects of Cho Kang-hyeon, which seemed unnecessary, was simple.
“You know, right? “The guy I’m dealing with right now is no ordinary guy.”
(Yes, I understand. If it’s what you said… He’s a guy that’s hard to beat even if all the top heroes, including me, attack him.)
It was to make Cho Yeon-ho grab the strings of the opposite sex again.
Anyone who has lived as a top-level hero will know well.
The emotion needed in a crisis situation is reason, not anger…
Cho Yeon-ho, who regained her cool, let out a quiet word with a sigh.
(He’s a hero of heroes… That’s more of a problem than being strong.)
As Cho Yeon-ho said, Cho Kang-hyeon’s biggest threat was his reputation.
Even if it is revealed that Cho Kang-hyeon is a villain, there will be countless people who will not believe it.
But during a time of peace, you suddenly become hostile to Cho Kang-hyeon?
Everyone will accuse me of being a follower of a monster and try to get rid of me.
I nodded and answered as if I agreed with Cho Yeon-ho’s words.
“Yes, so we have to proceed as carefully as possible.”
(I understood. And…)
“… ?”
Cho Yeon-ho bowed his head to me, completely hiding the anger that had been radiating just a moment ago.
(Thank you, for helping my daughter…)
“…”
When I saw Cho Yeon-ho, I could feel his sincerity.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head.
“You don’t have to thank me for that. “I do it because I like it.”
(… Then I will change my words. Thank you for helping me this much.)
“… I will accept that gratefully.”
The distrust that existed between me and Cho Yeon-ho can be completely erased thanks to the existence of Cho Kang-hyeon…
Knock knock knock!!
“Huh?”
(Huh?)
The calm atmosphere between me and Cho Yeon-ho was shattered by a harsh knock.
Cho Yeon-ho and I looked at each other with puzzled expressions and then turned our heads towards where the knock came from.
Toilet door.
Cho Seo-hyun’s voice was heard there.
(Pa, ba, ba!! Come out quickly!! Me, me! I’m angry, I’m going to the bathroom…! I’m in a hurry!!)
Bang bang! Bang bang! Kwa-kwa-kwang!
They were so desperate that instead of knocking on the door, they started hitting it as if they were going to break it.
I looked at Cho Yeon-ho with a puzzled expression…
“…”
Cho Yeon-ho also looked at me with a puzzled expression and sighed.
(… Open it quickly.)
“… Yes.”
As soon as I heard Cho Yeon-ho’s words, I immediately opened the bathroom door.
Cho Seo-hyun came rushing in from outside the open bathroom door.
Entering the bathroom itself was no problem.
The problem is…
“Kwaaah! I’m sorry I’m talking on the phone! Nana! “Oh, I can’t stand it!!”
It was true that Seohyun ran into the bathroom naked.
“Ah…”
(Pfft…)
I was embarrassed by the appearance of Cho Seohyun, who came in naked, and looked at Choyeonho, and as soon as Choyeonho saw Cho Seohyun’s body, she turned her head in horror.
Cho Yeon-ho closed her eyes tightly and walked through the bathroom wall to leave a massage.
(The rest of the conversation will be held outside.)
As Cho Yeon-ho passed through the wall and left, Cho Seo-hyeon’s shout penetrated into my ears.
“Come on, get out quickly!! Me, I cum, rice… It looks like it’s going to be cheap!! Quick!”
In seconds, Seohyun started bouncing her legs on the spot as if she were really going to urinate on the spot.
I smiled at Cho Seo-hyun’s appearance and spoke in a playful voice.
“Haha… If you’re in a hurry, you can just pack it.”
“@#$(@#$*#!!!”
Sigh! Sigh!
Cho Seo-hyeon spouted strange language and started punching me in the back.
“Oh, okay! “I’m going out!”
I ended up running out of the bathroom with a white flag because the pain was so bad that the intervertebral disc in my back came out.
And as soon as I left, the door closed with a bang, followed by the sound of a strong stream of water inside the bathroom…
(Huh… I thought I was going to cum…)
Cho Seo-hyeon’s ecstatic sound was heard.
I laughed at Cho Seo-hyeon’s mesmerizing voice and looked around to find Cho Yeon-ho.
Cho Yeon-ho…
‘At that rate, you probably didn’t hear what I said.’
I was standing on the veranda outside the window and looking up at the dark sky.
I immediately went out to the veranda and apologized to Cho Yeon-ho.
“I’m sorry, I should have settled in better from the beginning.”
(… It’s not your job to apologize. Rather…)
Cho Yeon-ho looked toward the bathroom and smiled awkwardly.
(When she saw Seohyun’s bright appearance, she felt better.)
“… “I will make sure to see you often.”
(Thank you.)
Fortunately, Cho Yeon-ho seemed to have shaken off all of her anger toward me after hearing Cho Kang-hyeon’s words.
But Cho Yeon-ho immediately smiled and asked me.
(If I’m not mistaken… Seohyun has a lot of wounds on her body… Are those from a fight?)
“Ah… That is…”
I hesitated whether I should tell you about Hong Mi-seon, but…
‘Let’s just shake it off quickly now.’
Thinking like that, I explained the situation to Cho Yeon-ho.
Naturally, when Cho Yeon-ho heard my words again, her whole body trembled and her anger was expressed.
(Who is the guy who did that to Seohyun?)
I answered while looking at Cho Seo-hyun who had just come out of the bathroom.
“This is a woman named Hong Mi-seon.”
(… A hero?)
‘Yes, my main weapon will be a whip.’
(Could it be that kid…)
Looking at Choyeon-ho’s reaction, I thought she spoke well.
The next target I set was Hong Mi-seon, and I was hoping that some information that would be helpful in finding it would come out.
However, what Cho Yeon-ho said was completely different from my expectations…
(Isn’t there something wrong with her? If she’s the Mi-seon I know… There’s no way she would do something like that.)
“Uh? Does she know someone?”
Rather, it was shocking information.
(Yes, he was my immediate junior. If I were to choose a person in my life whom I could trust more than my wife and daughter, he was someone I could trust enough to mention his name.)
