Chapter 1180 – 1180. Hero Military Academy (7)
(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.)
“No, what is that…” .”
When I was confused, Cho Yeon-ho did not answer but just cleared his throat and turned around.
(First… Know that. Then…)
“Ah yes…”
Cho Yeon-ho returned to the world after her death as if she had urgent business to do.
The reason why he cleared his throat, turned around, and suddenly went to the afterlife was simple.
“What are you doing here?”
“Oh, I was getting some air.”
This was because Cho Seo-hyun came out of the bathroom and onto the veranda.
At first, I thought he was so surprised by Cho Seo-hyun’s naked body that he left in a hurry…
‘It looks like you left because you were embarrassed.’
Cho Seo-hyun appeared wearing a bathrobe, not naked.
When Cho Yeon-ho saw her unfamiliar daughter approaching her with her bare skin exposed, she seemed embarrassed and left in a hurry.
‘Well, it would be embarrassing if my daughter, who I saw every day, showed up like that…’
When I thought of Cho Yeon-ho’s embarrassed appearance, I couldn’t help but laugh.
When I suddenly laughed, Cho Seohyun pouted her lips and poked my side.
“Don’t tell me what happened in the bathroom earlier.”
“Ah…”
It seems they misunderstood my smiling appearance.
However, Seohyun’s grumbling brought back memories of her that had almost been forgotten.
“She should have left it on video. “You looked cute earlier.”
“Ugh… That’s how it comes out, right?”
“Ouch!”
Cho Seohyun poked my side again.
However, unlike before, the pain was not so intense that she felt it.
Seohyun, who was poking my side like that, looked at the surroundings completely covered in darkness and asked me.
“But why did you wear her clothes?”
As Cho Seo-hyeon said, I was ready to get dressed.
The reason I wore clothes was purely because of Cho Yeon-ho.
When summoning Cho Yeon-ho, he wore clothes rather than a bathrobe out of courtesy.
But Seohyun doesn’t know the circumstances…
“… Do you want to go?”
He misunderstood my attire and began to make a sullen expression.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head.
“You haven’t eaten anything all day. “He was sleeping, so I thought I’d get something to eat in the meantime.”
“… Just order room service.”
When Seohyun acted like I wouldn’t leave, she started laughing, probably because she was relieved.
Then I crossed my arms and hummed.
“The atmosphere is nice, so would you like to eat here?”
“Good.”
So Seohyun Cho and I enjoyed our meal while watching the night view from the veranda of our room.
.
.
It was around lunchtime the next day when Cho Seohyun and I left the hotel.
As soon as I came out, I immediately said goodbye…
“Joy… Where do you want to go alone again?”
Cho Seohyun was grumbling and clinging to me.
I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed by Cho Seo-hyun’s behavior.
‘I need to find out about Hong Mi-seon quickly…’
I also wanted to spend more time with Cho Seohyun.
But now, a mountain of questions had piled up, and more and more had to be solved.
The moment I made an embarrassed expression and accepted Cho Seo-hyun’s complaints…
Tiriring.
“Huh?”
An alarm sound was heard from Cho Seo-hyun’s smartwatch.
Cho Seo-hyun checked the smartwatch while holding my arms tightly, as if she was wondering if I might run away.
Cho Seohyun’s face when she looked at the screen like that…
“No, why now…”
“… ?”
It was full of confusion.
Cho Seohyun, who had been complaining about a while…
“I’ll talk to you for a moment.”
I crossed my arms and started talking on the smartwatch.
I couldn’t hear Cho Seo-hyun’s voice talking on the phone with the smartwatch, but I could see her face without filtering.
Cho Seo-hyeon’s face was full of embarrassment, and there was a pinch of discomfort mixed in.
After talking on the phone with her frown on for a while, Seohyun hung up and let go of her arms.
Then she sighed and opened her mouth.
“Ha… I think I should call you too.”
“Who called?”
“… Yeriel.”
“Ah…”
Cho Seohyun, who had been pouring out complaints and complaints to me for a while…
“… Let’s contact each other often.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
After exchanging greetings with me, she hurriedly left the hotel.
Thanks to Yeri El, I was able to drop her Cho Seohyun and immediately summoned her Cho Yeon Ho.
Cho Yeon-ho, who was summoned in broad daylight, admired the sun for a while, then looked around and asked me.
(What about Seohyun?)
“I went because I said I had someone to meet.”
(Yeah…)
Cho Yeon-ho expressed his disappointment.
I understood Cho Yeon-ho’s feelings.
You will want to stay with Cho Seohyun all day.
However, like yesterday, you don’t want to feel like you’re peeking into your daughter’s private life.
Right now, Cho Yeon-ho probably feels more guilty than longing for Cho Seo-hyun.
“I’ll call you again later.”
(… Thank you. Why did you call me this time?)
“I want to finish the conversation we had yesterday.”
A story about Hong Mi-seon.
Cho Yeon-ho opened her mouth with an uncomfortable expression, probably remembering the story I heard yesterday.
(As I said yesterday, there is no way Mi-seon would have done something like that to Seohyun.)
Cho Yeon-ho began praising Hong Mi-seon with all her sincerity.
Heroism, consideration, cooperation, and sacrifice…
Hong Mi-seon, whom Cho Yeon-ho said, was a woman with the qualities of a hero.
However, if there is something disappointing…
(Her ability to perform solo missions was poor.)
It was just skill.
No matter how you look at Hong Mi-seon’s skills, she is at the level of an upper-middle level hero.
Even though she was a mid-to-high level hero, she was limited to support.
As Cho Yeon-ho said, her ability to perform solo missions was poor, so her actual rank was a mid-level hero.
(Oh, this is a story from 20 years ago, so it may be different now.)
In addition, there was another reason why Cho Yeon-ho valued Hong Mi-seon highly.
(She followed me very well. Thanks to that guy, she survived several crisis situations.)
Hong Mi-seon played the role of Choyeon-ho’s assistant gunner, and thanks to her excellent support skills, she saved Choyeon-ho from danger several times.
(No matter how much I think about it… There’s no way Mi-seon would have done something like that.)
“Could it be because you don’t know the identity of Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon?”
The possibility that still exists.
Committing such abuse without knowing the relationship between Cho Seo-hyun and Cho Yeon-ho.
However, Cho Yeon-ho, who heard what I said, was rather disgusted and answered.
(That doesn’t make sense. When Seohyun was born, Mi-seon even personally gave Seohyun a gift. There’s no way she doesn’t know my daughter.)
“…”
(Besides, she is my daughter, so I can understand if I taught her harshly. Mi-seon was a girl who couldn’t even nag, let alone scold, her juniors. There was no way she would do something like that to a cadet.)
The Hong Mi-seon that came out of Cho Yeon-ho’s mouth could not possibly match the Hong Mi-seon that appeared in Cho Seo-hyeon’s dream.
The more I listened to Cho Yeon-ho, the more complicated my mind became, rather than being organized.
It felt as if I too was being injected with demonic energy by Cho Kang-hyeon.
‘I have no idea what it is.’
[I think it would be a good idea to find out about Hong Mi-seon first.]
‘Okay…’
I immediately took out a piece of paper and started sketching with a pencil.
Cho Yeon-ho looked puzzled at me suddenly starting to sketch.
But that puzzled expression…
(… That’s amazing. Did you really learn painting professionally?)
His eyes widened in surprise, as if he was astonished at my advanced drawing skills.
I answered Cho Yeon-ho’s question with an awkward smile and continued sketching.
A sketch completed in an instant.
As soon as I finished the sketch, Cho Yeon-ho spoke to me with a surprised expression.
(Yes, that’s right. This kid… Is Mi-seon.)
Cho Yeon-ho’s surprise quickly turned into disappointment.
Until now, he had been denying that the Hong Mi-seon I talked about and the Hong Mi-seon he knew were different beings.
However, when I actually drew Hong Mi-seon accurately, it seemed like she was feeling that denial being denied.
(No… Mi-sun… Couldn’t have done that to my daughter…)
“First of all, it looks like it’s the same person.”
(Yeah…)
The talented people here, the so-called heroes, age slowly.
Although I don’t have the ridiculously youthful appearance like Yeriel, maintaining the appearance of someone in their 20s until their 40s is a natural phenomenon.
There would not be much difference in the appearance of Hong Mi-sun when she was abusing Cho Seo-hyeon and Hong Mi-seon when she was Cho Yeon-ho’s second-in-command.
‘There won’t be much of a difference now.’
I think so…
“Then… “Let’s go look for it first.”
The search for Hong Mi-seon has begun.
.
.
Finding Hong Mi-seon was as difficult as finding Cho Yeon-ho’s past.
The house where Hong Mi-seon lived 20 years ago had already been redeveloped and disappeared without a trace.
20 years ago, the building of Cho Yeon-ho’s organization was located in a park.
Fortunately, when looking for Cho Yeon-ho’s past, there were no hints, so it was difficult…
(The elementary school and middle school he attended…)
Finding Hong Mi-seon was somewhat easier thanks to Cho-yeon-ho’s hints.
So she started her search slowly, starting with Hong Mi-seon’s birthplace.
But unfortunately, after searching, what I encountered was…
“… It must be difficult here.”
(…)
It was a consulate.
Of course, the consulate is my workplace, and it is a place I can come and go as I please…
“All the information here is digital, and I think it will be difficult because I can’t break through the security.”
(… What a shame.)
Cho Yeon-ho looked truly regretful.
(No matter how much I think about it… Miseon couldn’t possibly do that…)
He wanted to somehow find Hong Mi-seon and prove his wrongdoing.
I cast a soul summoning spell while looking at Cho Yeon-ho’s appearance.
And as a result of searching Hong Mi-seon’s name…
‘… After all, no two people are the same.’
Hong Mi-seon’s name was listed in the list of soul summoning techniques, but the Hong Mi-seon I was looking for did not appear.
That means…
‘It means he’s alive…’ .’
In the past, she would have been angry that Hong Mi-seon wasn’t dead.
But now that her perception of Hong Mi-seon has changed, there is no such anger at all.
‘If she is truly evil, then it will not be too late for her to die.’
With that in mind, I began to think deeply about how to find Hong Mi-seon.
And the best way came to mind.
But as soon as that thought occurred to me, I shook my head.
‘I think it will lose its shape if I go right away…’
Yeriel.
If you are Yeriel, you will gladly listen to my request.
However, when I remembered Yeriel’s attitude as if she knew my identity, I became reluctant to meet her.
‘Should I stop here for now…’ .’
It was a moment of such worry.
Tiriring!
“Huh?”
A phone ringing sound was heard from the smartwatch.
And the caller that appears on the smartwatch screen is…
‘… Principal?’
He was the principal of the consulate.
I was taken aback by the sudden call from the principal and hurriedly answered the phone.
“Yes, this is Seong Su-ho.”
〈Ah, instructor Seong Su-ho. I’m sorry for contacting you suddenly. Do you have time?〉
“Yes, you can. What’s going on?”
〈If you are in the school, could you come to the principal’s office right away?〉
Coincidentally, I…
‘… Are they really being monitored?’
I was currently lingering at the consulate entrance.
I answered while looking around with the discomfort of an office worker.
“Yes, you can go right away.”
〈Aha, good. Then please come right away. Then…〉
The principal hung up the phone after saying those words.
After I hung up the phone like that, I sighed…
(… It seems like phone calls from superiors are inconvenient, both in the past and now.)
Cho Yeon-ho looked at me and started laughing.
I returned Cho Yeon-ho’s smile with a sad look, and when Cho Yeon-ho looked into my eyes, he cleared his throat…
(I’ll go for now, so call me if you need anything.)
He hurriedly blurted out the words as if making excuses and left for the afterlife.
The appearance of Cho Yeon-ho who disappeared like that…
“… “It’s Bujeon Yeojeon.”
It seemed to overlap with Cho Seo-hyun’s appearance.
I entered the consulate with slumped shoulders, remembering the two people.
.
.
As soon as I entered the consulate, I immediately headed to the principal’s office.
There was a secretary waiting in front of the principal’s office, and as soon as she saw me, she immediately turned around and opened the door.
“Let’s go in.”
“Thank you.”
I passed through the door opened by the secretary and entered the principal’s office.
On the sofa in the principal’s office like that…
Haha, sorry for calling you suddenly.”
“No. Of course, I… Huh?”
The principal, who is in his 40s and has a sturdy body…
“Welcome.”
Smiling at me…
“Hello, Yeriel.”
Yeriel was sitting.
