Chapter 7 – 2. Half-Hero, Lee Ha-Yoon
7
“… Thank you. I feel like a rock on my head has been removed.”
“What? This is what I have to do.”
Treatment is complete.
Lee Ji-yoon, who had been quiet from the moment I held his head, only then repeatedly lowered his head and expressed his gratitude.
Judging from the fact that he was bowing down like that, it seems like he must have been under a lot of stress due to the headaches.
I’m glad I got a lot of points this time…
… Even if you want to do it.
“…”
As soon as the treatment is over, she gets out of bed and clings to Lee Ha-yoon. It seems like she hasn’t completely opened her heart yet.
Well, it’s a bit disappointing. I didn’t expect to be full from the first drink anyway.
A little gratitude towards me.
That was enough for now.
“Now that I think about it, Lee Ji-yoon. Who are you, and are you awkwardly exchanging polite words with her? If you’re bored with me, call me informally…”
“…Shut up. Just shut your mouth and go outside. It’s embarrassing.”
“Are you embarrassed by my sister?!”
“Uh. Really.”
Lee Ha-yoon is crying, covering her mouth with both hands like in a drama.
Perhaps familiar with her reaction, Lee Ji-yoon poked Lee Ha-yoon’s defenseless waist with her finger.
So much so that her T-shirt her was crumpled inside her her scantily clad school uniform her her her. Kukkuk.
All Lee Ha-yoon, who is being treated for, is to squeal… That would be painful.
It’s fortunate that she is a little taller than Lee Ji-yoon, but I wonder how she would have been treated if she had been shorter than her younger brother.
“Get out. Get out quickly. Don’t you want to get out?”
“Stop, stop… ! Okay, you can leave!”
Of course, I wanted to stay a little longer, but I guess I didn’t like being in the same space with strangers for a long time.
Still, should I consider it fortunate that she bowed her head politely…
“Thank you, teacher. Oh, no.”
“Just do what’s comfortable. Actually, I’m a little confused too.”
“… Okay. Then I’ll go first.”
“If you get sick again, come visit me. I’ll treat you as much as I can.”
A painful place.
It will happen soon.
“…”
But Ji-yoon Lee just bows her head once more without saying anything.
As I accepted her thank you with a light smile, the heavy door suddenly closed and silence came again.
Inside the health room, bathed in the darkening glow of the sunset. The corner of her mouth that was pulled up slowly returns to its original position.
Unlike her younger sister, she gets along easily with everyone and is like a lively country dog wagging her tail.
Unlike her older sister her her, her younger sister her is difficult to approach because she blocks everyone and pouts.
I took out my phone and checked today’s date again.
February 19th. There are about 10 days left until the first-year entrance ceremony in March.
In the meantime, it would be easy to meet Lee Ha-yoon, but she was uncertain whether Lee Ji-yoon would visit her academy again.
Then, while dealing with Lee Ha-yoon, who comes to the academy to take supplementary classes…
It would be a good idea to prepare a few things for Lee Ji-yoon when we meet again next time.
Something she might like… Or something.
Just then, the door to the health room slowly opens again.
Did I leave something behind? I turned off the screen of my phone where I was taking notes about Todok, Talk, and Jiyoon Lee.
“… Who are you?”
“Huh? Uh, um. I’m Baek Ji-ho, a third-year class A student.”
However, it was a man.
“…”
“I thought there was a door here that I hadn’t seen before. I was curious so I stopped… I’m sorry for coming in without permission.”
Considering that he is in third grade, he is a student, not a teacher.
Judging by the large sword sheath on his back, he is probably an evolved or mutant type.
The strange bear-shaped key ring hanging from the end of the scabbard is probably…
Does this mean I have a lover? Or is it just her own taste?
… Well, of course.
Heroes don’t just have women.
But I don’t think there’s any particular need to remember.
Because he is a man.
“It was the health room. Here.”
“Yes. As you can see.”
“Then that one…”
“That’s right.”
It was quite late.
When I put my phone in my padded pocket to go home, I smiled and said just like I did to Jiyoon Lee.
“Health teacher…”
“I am the health commissioner.”
“… Not a health teacher?”
“…”
It’s difficult. This.
*****
Dinner was tonkotsu curry ramen.
It’s not as much as when I was a villain, but the salary promised by the Academy was quite substantial, so I tried to splurge a bit.
When it comes to money, there is no such thing as too much or too little. There is only more, more is better.
Still, perhaps because I grew up with very little, no matter how much I earned, it didn’t lead to overspending.
After roughly sorting out the dishes, I sat down at my desk and looked around on my computer a little more.
The new folder named ‘Lee Ji-yoon’ created next to ‘Puppy’ on the desktop is hidden by the Chrome screen that was just opened.
Return to death,
Return to the past,
A transcendent person who deals with time.
No one talked about this seriously on the Internet.
The posts that talked about something happening in the future were all nonsense that only briefly drew aggro.
I opened it, I opened it.
Is there any need to check further? I got tired of searching.
A thought suddenly occurred to me, and I laid down my chair and fell into trouble.
I wonder if the future I know is the right answer.
“Uhm…”
Company. So, wasn’t it possible to commit more extreme crimes thanks to my presence during the villain era?
So, wouldn’t we now be committing much more simple and inconsequential crimes than before?
Then, isn’t it natural for the future to change?
I continued my thoughts and looked back on what had happened in the past.
Of course, my company is not the only group of villains.
The place I was in wasn’t the best.
There was a group called Most Wanted, which was full of blacklisted villains in the single digits.
Among them, our company was somewhat famous because there was a bitch named Hato Yozora.
It was a bit boring compared to the Terrorist Most Wanted that headlined the morning news on a fictional day.
Um.
Now that I think about it, isn’t it because of me that he was able to run wild to his heart his’s content his?
While I was thinking blankly.
Suddenly, the phone on the desk vibrated.
“… Eek.”
Few people know my number.
There are only a few current villains and the principal I met during the day.
And the name on the screen is.
[Senior Yozora]
It was.
“Fuck…”
Of course, I didn’t treat him with courtesy because he was my senior.
He later changed his name to [Crazy Bitch], But at this point, I had no idea he was such a jerk.
It was amazing to see with my own eyes the famous villain who had only been floating around in pictures on the Internet, saying it was a direct shot,
When that person looked at me, I was just amazed that he personally gave me his phone number, saying that if I ever need to contact him, I can call him at this number.
I had no idea about his personality, his, his…
… But in my recollection, this bitch has never contacted me before.
After about half a year had passed, he said that he got into a fight while drinking and got scratched, and that he was going to get treatment and that he should get rid of the woman at home…
“… Ah.”
Should I take it or not?
Perhaps because I thought about it for a long time, the vibration stopped.
1 second.
2 seconds.
3 seconds.
A pitch-black screen with a calendar and clock floating around.
The red phone icon lights up beautifully.
And.
The words [Senior Yozora] Appeared again on the green screen.
“…”
If only I hadn’t written my address honestly during the fucking interview…
Err, I don’t know.
“… Hello.”
“Uh oh… Woojin…”
Your voice smells like alcohol.
It has a calm, yet slightly more relaxed tone, similar to Lee Ha-yoon.
“Yes, senior.”
“Fuha, it’s a senior. What do you mean, Woojin… “I heard you ran away.”
“…”
“Namho-chan asked me to come catch you.”
That’s how it happened.
I sighed for a moment on the other end of the phone.
“I have decided to live healthily from today onwards.”
“No way. How many bottles of alcohol are here… “
“The person who says he can get drunk with just one bottle really likes alcohol.”
“That’s because I like getting drunk… It makes my head fluffy… “
“Besides, if you’re a senior, it’s only a few bottles of alcohol.”
“Free alcohol…? He’s still 20 years old so he doesn’t know…”
Is it really right to listen to advice on drinking from a woman who is at most two years older than me?
Even if you look at the past, there would be an 8 year age difference between you and that bitch.
After having a hunch that something would be bothersome, I responded by exhaling lightly through my nose.
“So. Are you a beauty?”
“… Maybe?”
“I’m sorry. You’re not my type.”
“Eh. That was a bit hurtful… But I didn’t even confess and I got dumped… ?”
Do you dislike my breasts because they make me look dull?
Maybe you don’t like it because your hair reaches your butt and looks messy?
Do they hate me because I’m only 160cm tall?
As expected, 160 is a short height. They say men don’t look at height, but they are bad bastards. They say small ones are cute, and big ones are slimmer. He’s only strict with me.
After listening to the drunkard’s endless questions with one ear, she carefully intervened and spoke.
“Yes. So, it won’t be of any use if you keep coming.”
“No… My 30-year-old Hibiki…”
The sound of something collapsing was heard through the speakers.
Then, the sound of a small moaning sound is heard.
I guess I probably twisted my foot and fell.
I wasn’t surprised because it happened often.
Because in about a week, she was the woman whose iPhone color changed to a different color.
“… Woojin ah.”
“…”
“Ah. Woojin. Can’t you hear me… ?”
“…”
“Hmm… The screen went out a little bit… I can’t help it…”
“…”
Drop.
The phone hangs up.
The number 00:43 caught my eye blankly.
In my experience, I felt like I was held for about 5 minutes. I guess it wasn’t that neat.
“Whew…”
After changing [Senior Yozora] Back to [Crazy Bitch], I quickly got up from my seat, taking the neck warmer hanging on the wall.
Anyway, now that the company’s affairs have become uncertain, what we need to think about is the activities of other villain groups such as Most Wanted.
I remember a small incident that happened nearby on the very day I signed the contract, so I think it would be a good idea to check that first.
Was it a robbery? Was it simple theft? I remember that a common criminal threatened a part-time worker and ran away with a bucket of money. I’m not sure.
All I clearly remembered was that it happened at a convenience store a little far away from here.
The police had work to do, so they blared their sirens loudly.
Well, it’s a minor crime that you just have to check to see if it’s happening or not.
It’s nothing to do with me.
I should do some light exercise on the way out.
Because of the rain during the day, the ground will be wet and slippery, so I think you should check the road conditions before running to avoid ending up like Yozora.
The route is roughly a 3km course that will heat up your body.
Just in case, I removed from my mind all the roads close to bars where I might run into Yozora.
Residential area. Convenience store.
If I run in a place like this with my neck warmer pulled up, even if I run into one, they won’t recognize my face.
After thinking, I drew a map in my head and left the house.
“What? Do you live near here? I’ve never seen you before?”
I didn’t expect to run into Lee Ha-yoon, who was blowing bubble gum, at a convenience store.
“Well, I was bored, but it worked out well. Would you like some gum too? This tastes like soda.”
Lee Ha-yoon was tapping on his cell phone while wearing a puffy hoodie.
For some reason, Lee Ha-yoon’s star-shaped piercing is not visible.
Lee Ha-yoon wearing a very unsuitable convenience store uniform.
She popped the bubble gum, put it on her lips, and screamed.
