Chapter 26 – Follow-Up (1)
The traits prevented a lot of things, but it didn’t solve the mental fatigue.
Thanks to that, I fell asleep yesterday.
I didn’t even think about going to bed, I just lay down on the sofa.
When I woke up, I heard faint breathing in my chest.
He moved his fingertips slowly, stroking his soft hair.
The warm warmth and moderate weight feel calming.
“Um…”
Perhaps awakened by my touch, midsummer’s eyelids slowly lifted.
“Are you awake?”
“…Ugh.”
Midsummer, who had been clinging to her, changed her posture and raised her body.
It was at the level of riding on top of me, so her lower body reacted in its own way without notice.
Midsummer’s eyes were round.
“Let’s eat some rice.”
When I realized it, the skin on my stomach was sticking to my back.
I couldn’t eat properly after all that yesterday.
Midsummer, who had been looking down at her gently, raised her head.
“What are you going to do?”
“Do you deliver here too?”
“I saw it before.”
Midsummer looked at her smartphone, she said.
Have you already looked for it
After all, she is a woman who is always sincere when it comes to food.
“You order what you want to eat.”
“Do you really want to do it?”
“OK.”
“I made it.”
Midsummer, who was fiddling with her phone, fell down on me again.
“Yumma, you need to get up.”
“No. Hug your waist.”
I shook her head and buried her face in my chest.
She sighed and put one hand around her waist and patted her.
The warm sun of the weekend morning poured through the curtains.
“I’m going to sleep like this.”
In a drowsy mood, her eyes close by themselves.
“Will it break on its own when it arrives?”
Instead of answering, she opened her mouth in a slightly serious voice.
“…Yesterday.”
“Yes.”
Midsummer murmured softly.
“I fought with the Blood Bridge.”
All kinds of words swirled in her mouth, but in the end, the words that came out were plain words.
“Great job.”
Something different than expected. It was as if it was expected.
“Are you sad?”
Midsummer pressed her body closer to me. The touch of her lips was transmitted as it was.
“…It’s not like that. If it’s because of what I said, you don’t have to say anything.”
Killed a person He blew her head open, squeezed out her brain, and ripped out her entrails, turning her into a paste. Some of them have been turned into chunks of minced meat that are unrecognizable. It wasn’t as big as I thought. It’s surprising how easily humans die, be they blood demons or whatever. I don’t even know how many they killed. At first glance, it seems that the heat is over.
I killed him like that, but nothing happened.
There was nothing more exciting than killing a goblin.
I don’t know if this is correct.
Instead of the many words that roamed in her head, he just gently stroked her midsummer head.
Ding Dong-
Just as I was feeling drowsy, the doorbell rang.
“Oh, I guess you’re here.”
Midsummer got up and immediately went out to get food.
“…Uh?”
A different reaction than expected came from the front door.
I raised my heavy body and followed, and there was an unexpected person standing there.
“Hello?”
Professor Chungha. She said in her soft voice.
I guessed roughly what was going on.
“Come in.”
Holding on to Midsummer’s waist, who had fierce eyes, he guided Professor Chungha inside.
At about the same time, the meal we ordered also arrived.
“I’m sorry. I guess it was before dinner?”
Professor Chungha asked while looking around sideways.
“…Yes, that’s how it happened.”
“I’ll wait. You two should start with a meal.”
Professor Chung-ha sat down in front of the sofa in the living room.
It was a bit embarrassing, but Professor Chungha’s knife-like attitude seemed to say that he would not accept objections.
“Thank you. Have you had breakfast?”
“Yes.”
Professor Chungha nodded his head. Well, the time now was closer to brunch time than breakfast.
But it’s a bit like leaving it like that, so I rummaged through the cupboard.
…None.
I looked around to see if there was anything like tea, but it was empty.
I didn’t buy anything because I lived mainly in a dormitory.
“Sorry, I don’t have a car.”
“It’s okay. I don’t like that car.”
Professor Chungha said with a gentle smile.
Volcano guru doesn’t like tea?
Quite a surprise
“Can I get you some water?”
After staring at me for a while, Professor Chungha’s gaze went somewhere.
…Yes?
“That would be better than water.”
Where she pointed with a gesture that was even quite elegant.
There was a cola bottle that came with the delivery.
“Yes?”
After a moment of cognitive dissonance, I opened my mouth in a daze. A professor from a volcanic school who doesn’t like tea and prefers Coke?
Of course, there was no law not to do that, but it was very different from the lofty plum inspector image in me.
“It’s a prejudice.”
Professor Chung-ha said in a slightly pouty tone, as if he immediately recognized the meaning in my eyes.
“Sorry.”
“Just joke. I’ve heard so much that I don’t even think about it anymore. Even Master gave up.”
He sighed deeply and took the coke I handed him with both hands. Then, holding the cup with both hands, he sipped. Something, the arrogant image when I first saw it is breaking.
Perhaps Midsummer had a similar sentiment, I opened my eyes wide and peeked at Professor Chungha.
“I’m done setting up.”
I sat down at the table and started eating.
My menu was eel rice bowl.
“What is eel rice bowl?”
“Do whatever you want. Don’t like eel rice bowl?”
“No, I don’t hate it.”
Do you have to in the morning?
Besides, when I sneakily lifted it with a spoon, there were more eels than rice.
“Did you add eel?”
“Ugh. Eat a lot. Do not leave.”
Midsummer twitched the ends of her hair and smiled briskly.
“Isn’t this one more? How many substitute eels did you add?”
“Secret.”
It’s nice to see her sticking out her tongue.
While silently chewing on the eel rice bowl, I felt eyes staring at us.
Professor Chungha was watching this side curiously.
Just looking at them, their eyes are filled with curiosity about our relationship.
“I ate it all.”
Like it or not, there is one woman who doesn’t care about other people’s eyes.
Midsummer stroked her belly with her satisfied face.
I just ate it all.
“Clean up. I think I need to talk to the professor.”
“Yass. Don’t worry.”
Midsummer took a glance at the bowl of her eel rice bowl and nodded her head.
I ate it all, yumma.
What are you even checking?
She sighed and sat down opposite Professor Chung Ha.
“Did you come for the incident last night?”
She asked first. It was obvious why the professor would come here anyway.
“Yes, I am in charge of the advisor of the Muksudae, a security agency belonging to the student council.”
“I thought it would come from the Moorim League or the police, but it’s surprising.”
Professor Chungha shook her head slowly.
“The location of the incident was the boundary of the academy. All incidents that take place within the academy premises are to be administered by this side.”
“Is it a criminal case?”
“Yes, the Muksudae has been entrusted with the right to investigate. You can think of it as such. To be precise, it is more like a joint investigation between the Muksudae and the Moorim Maeng dispatched units.”
Stay silent
Does it feel like a kind of campus polis with more authority?
Well, even if you are a student, there is no way that ordinary policemen can take on unmanned opponents.
The Moorim Maeng is always a busy group, so it seems that the authority of the Muksudae, a student self-governing organization, has been increased for efficiency in the end.
“Are the Moorim Meng dispatched with iron swords?”
“Did you hear it already?”
“No. It was overlooked.”
Exactly, I guessed by looking at the file.
Professor Chungha narrowed his eyes and looked at me.
“…Let’s do that for now. The situation at the scene is a bit complicated. Apparently, even the Demonic Cult is involved.”
“The Heavenly Demon Church… What happened?”
“I decided to cooperate with the investigation. The suspect was secured there.”
Thank god.
Because there shouldn’t be any unfortunate incident where the Cheonma Shinkyo and the political factions collide because of me.
“Can I sit here?”
Midsummer has arrived, and the cleanup is over.
I nodded.
I had no intention of hiding it anyway.
“Are you okay? Professor.”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter. Can I ask you a few questions?”
Midsummer sat down beside me, rather calmly.
…Seeing Professor Chung-ha and Midreum side by side like this, they look like real sisters, and the more I look at them, the more strange they are.
“It’s okay as long as it’s within the range of the answer.”
“It is enough to answer comfortably. Cadet Kim Moo-gong saved cadet Lee Ji-ah and Shin-ari. Is that correct?”
“If the injured person is a Shinari cadet. It is true that I saved them.”
“May I ask how you knew in advance and arrived at the scene?”
Professor Chungha said with a firm face.
“We obtained information that there would be an attack nearby through some kind of route. I can’t tell you exactly.”
“…All right.”
It was easier than I thought.
I thought it would be a bit more prying.
“How far did you find out in the Murim Maeng?”
This time, I asked a question first.
“The Heavenly Demon Church has already informed you of the other person’s identity. It is a group called ‘Blood Religion’, a cult, and the suspect’s identity is Bloodgwidan Salgwidaeju. I say.”
“As expected, he was a major shareholder.”
As befits an interrogation expert, it seems that Muheun Ma-yeong has grasped the man’s identity. Almost matched my expectations.
The blood bridge system was quite complex.
The religious leader, vice-president, and the Twelve Apostles reigned at the top.
Below that, it was lowered in the order of dang-level, dan-level, and major-level.
In addition, there were each level that followed an independent system, such as blood brain ‘gak’.
Even if he was at the major shareholder level, he was in a position to lead several groups, so it was by no means low.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t know much about it.
It was just a working position.
“I guess you know about blood religion?”
“…It’s trash. It must be unconditionally related to the serial disappearance case in the metropolitan area.”
“We are also judging that way. You’ll have to open the mouth of a man named Salgwi Daeju to find out.”
Professor Chungha took a sip of cola and stared at me.
“Did you put anything on my face?”
“I’m sorry. Can I be honest with you?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“I saw pictures of the scene. No matter how I look at it… I can’t believe that cadet Kim Mu-gong staged such a devastation.”
Midsummer suddenly pricked up his ears.
Somehow, Professor Chung-ha seemed to suspect that I had some kind of collaborator.
“What I did is right. You can see that the other person was in a state of drug overdose. With the martial arts I learned, I couldn’t stop without killing them like that.”
“I didn’t mean to blame. I just… I was wondering if you’re okay.”
Was it that Rather than simple doubt, it seems that I am worried about my mentality.
“Yes, it’s fine. I have a bit of a strong tolerance for that.”
“Is that so… If that’s the case, I’m glad. Please let me know if you have any problems. The aftereffects of murder can come later.”
“All right.”
“And this is a bit of a personal curiosity.”
Professor Chungha said while twisting the ends of his hair with his fingers.
Not only how they look, but how are their habits similar?
“A personal curiosity?”
“Yes. Are you two lovers?”
As if he had waited, Professor Chungha immediately asked back.
Facing the brightly shining eyes, a strange feeling of pressure came over me.
…This virgin professor is really interested in strange places after coming to investigate the case.
