Chapter 462 – #463 You Are Not Alone
#463 You are not alone
“Tough guy.”
“Huh? Eh! What’s going on?”
The tough guy, an S-class hero who was training at her training ground, welcomed her unexpected visit from the Ice Queen.
Although he only confided in his old friend, the president of the Valencia Association, he chose Ice Queen as the main pillar to lead the Hero Association in the future.
There are many young and strong S-class heroes such as the White Knight and Flame Witch, but they lack the leadership to lead other heroes. Reaching the top position at a young age, they were self-righteous and self-centered.
In contrast, Ice Queen was strong but humble. She also takes good care of her fellow heroes, and many of her heroes believe in her and follow her.
Moreover, since she was promoted to her S-class hero, the tough guy’s affection for her trusty junior was bound to grow even more.
“Have you had any results?”
“I’ve reached the end, but is there any achievement?”
At the Ice Queen’s question, the tough guy shrugged her shoulders. It was very difficult to reach a higher level than this level after reaching the level of S-class (Lv.10).
And he declared it impossible.
Even so, the reason the tough guy devotes himself to training whenever he has time is to keep his body from getting rusty.
“But I don’t think you came to me to ask about that… What’s going on?”
“I’m sorry, tough guy, but I have a request.”
“What is it? Say it comfortably.”
“Could you stand the night watch for me today by any chance?”
“A night watch?”
To put it simply, it was a request to stand overtime instead.
This was the first time the Ice Queen had asked for something like this, so I was a little surprised. The Ice Queen has many times performed her duties on behalf of other heroes, but she has never entrusted her work to another hero.
‘Ah…’
So, at first, even the tough guy tried to throw a smirking joke typical of a man, saying, ‘So you’re going on a date with your boyfriend!’
But when he read the weariness on the Ice Queen’s face, he could barely stand the boring joke. She looked very tired just by looking at it, and now she needed a break.
“Okay, I’ll stand by you, so go in and rest. You look very tired.”
“Thank you, senior. I’m sorry, but let’s go first.”
“Yes, come in.”
The tough guy hurriedly saw off the Ice Queen.
*****
“… It’s got a lot of dust.”
The Ice Queen, who returned to her officetel after a long absence, saw her house covered in dust and gave her a bitter smile. I was going to take a break right away, but I think I need to clean up first.
Besides, her guests will come soon…
Bang bang-!
“Jimin! Oppa is here! Open the door!”
“Are you here already?”
The unexpected guest was none other than the man she loved, Steel Armor. When he met her during the day, he asked her to come to his house, but she rather invited her Steel Armor to her own officetel.
Even if you go to Steel Armor’s house, there are other women. It’s not that I don’t like them or hate them. I just wanted to monopolize the steel armor today. It would be an alter ego anyway, but she still wanted to take it all to herself.
“Why did you come so soon?”
“I wanted to see you, so I came running as soon as I got the call.”
“…Really? Did you come quickly because you really wanted to see me?”
When word came out right away that she had come running because she wanted to see her, the Ice Queen was moved.
As if there is no such thing as shame, Steel Armor does not hesitate to express affection that makes chicken meat grow. Every time he said those things, I felt ashamed of myself for no reason, but his expression of affection resonated with my heart, perhaps because he was mentally struggling today.
“Why ask for the obvious? And… Voila!”
Steel Armor smiled broadly and shook the envelope in his hand. He smelled spicy.
“Huh? What is that?”
“Spicy Tteokbokki. That’s on the highest difficulty level. You know that, right? A lot of people ended up in the emergency room after eating this.”
“Jinja? I wanted to eat something spicy.”
Some people relieve stress by eating spicy food and sweating profusely when they are stressed. Ice Queen was one of those people.
“Oh, but what should I do? I think I need to do some house cleaning right now?”
“Really? Hmmm… It’s got a lot of dust? How long have you been in the house? Or are you the type that doesn’t clean?”
“I do it often! It’s because I can’t come home because I’ve been working overtime lately!”
“Kuh kuh. Okay. Then let’s put this on the table and clean it up together.”
The steel armor moved first before I could hear the Ice Queen’s answer. He put the dinner menu on the table and took off his suit Mai on a chair. He wasn’t wearing his skull mask, probably because he was called to the officetel.
“…”
The Ice Queen’s face turned red. It was because the steel armor rolled up his sleeves, revealing her strong forearms and tight veins. My heart fluttered at the sight of his masculine beauty.
“By the way, Jimin. Are you leaving work now too?”
“…”
“Huh? Han Ji-min?”
“Huh? Uh, uh uh? What did you say?”
The Ice Queen, who had been staring at Steel Armor’s forearm in dismay, regained her senses.
“Are you off work now?”
“Oh, yes. I’m off work now.”
“Then leave the cleaning to me and you go in and wash it.”
“No. Just clean and wash.”
“You’ll have to wash with me then… Will it be okay?”
“…”
Steel Armor smiled sinisterly. The Ice Queen’s face turned red again.
Wash together? Then, even if you wash it, you will do more, a lot of other things. Shower time will be over 3 hours. I knew it because I had done that many other things in the bathroom.
“I’m not going to do that, shall we just wash together now?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay! I’m going to wash myself, so don’t come in!”
“Okay, so go in and wash up.”
Seeing the Ice Queen blush like Hongshi, Steel Armor burst into laughter at her.
*****
“…”
Should I call this fortunate, or should I say sad?
Surprisingly, Steel Armor didn’t come into the bathroom while Ice Queen was washing. She told me not to come in, of course, so it’s only natural that she wouldn’t come in.
“Are you here? Sit down. Are you hungry?”
“Have you finished cleaning already?”
“Then!”
Placing her hand on her waist, Steel Armor put on a proud expression. The Ice Queen looked around the living room, but the white dust was nowhere to be seen.
She’s still the landlord, but she can’t just let him do the cleaning, so she washed up faster than usual. But she did all the cleaning in that short amount of time… The Ice Queen was surprised.
“What did you clean so quickly?”
“Huh-huh… Starting today, call me cleaning armor.”
The Ice Queen didn’t even know it in her dreams.
That Steel Armor imprinted Aqua Girl’s psychic powers on her tattooist and did water cleaning. She was not good at handling water and had no broken appliances.
Anyway, the two settled for a late dinner with spicy tteokbokki that Steel Armor bought.
“Huh… It’s spicy…”
Indeed, the tteokbokki was spicy enough that there were people who were taken to the emergency room after eating tteokbokki. It felt like fire was coming out of my mouth.
However, Ice Queen, who was stressed beyond her limit today, continued to eat tteokbokki while sweating profusely.
“Huh… Huh? You don’t eat?”
“Huh? No, I’m eating too.”
On the other hand, Steel Armor did not stop eating tteokbokki. It wasn’t like she loved to eat.
It wasn’t that Steel Armor couldn’t eat spicy food. She just wasn’t in the mood to eat because of the sexy girl across from her who was sweating and eating tteokbokki.
Her sweaty hair, drops of sweat running over her reddened skin from her fresh wash, and drops of sweat trickling down her sexy neckline formed on her breastbone.
In addition, the white boxy tee was wet with sweat and clinging to her body. The blue bra was clearly visible.
Steel Armor was not a man with good concentration enough to focus on tteokbokki even after seeing him. He was good the other way around.
Ice Queen, preoccupied with her tteokbokki, didn’t notice that Steel Armor was staring at her with her blazing eyes.
“Haa… It’s spicy…”
In the end, Ice Queen ate most of the tteokbokki Steel Armor bought. It was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue, but she was still sweating so much that the stress that had been bothering her all day melted away.
Hehe.”
Steel Armor let out a sinister laugh as she watched the Ice Queen drink her milk to soothe her tongue. Now that she had eaten, it was time for her to exercise on the bed.
It was the moment he got up from his seat and was about to approach the Ice Queen.
“Hey… Jung Nam-ah.”
“Yes why?”
“What should I do?”
“Huh? Uh… What?”
Somehow, in the mood of the ice queen, who seemed very serious, Steel Armor got up from her seat and quietly sat back in her chair.
“Heroes, the Hero Association is no longer what it used to be. Heroes don’t care about the safety of the citizens. They only care about their own safety and chase money. My colleagues are going the wrong way, and I can’t do anything. Nothing… There’s nothing I can do…”
“…”
To be honest, Steel Armor, who had only thought of having sex with the Ice Queen, was embarrassed when it was time for counseling.
I really want to have sex
However, she is having a hard time being the woman she loves and is struggling with what to do. It wasn’t a steel armor to just leave it alone.
Caught in a serious mood, he opened his mouth.
“Have you ever asked me what justice is? Then I told you this. Justice is not something others tell you, it’s something you establish.”
“… Yeah. I remember.”
“Now you are walking through that process. You are destroying the justice of others established within you and building your own.”
“…”
“And I think you’re forgetting one thing… You can’t save people.”
“… What?”
“Ah, mistake. I said it wrong. You can save people. No matter what anyone says, you’re an S-class hero. But you can’t save all the people living in the Dark City. There are too many weak people to protect by yourself. A matter of ability. It’s not, it’s a physical limit.”
“That’s why I need other people! I need heroes who will fight alongside me and protect the citizens! By the way, by the way, by the way… The current Hero Association has no heroes to accompany me…”
“Then we have to change.”
The woman who had lowered her head helplessly lifted her head up again. Steel Armor was smiling admiringly at her agonized woman of her own.
“Should I change? But I…”
“You’re alone? Originally, change starts with very small and trivial things. From small things, it takes a long time for that light to shine. And isn’t the Hero Association not functioning properly for a day or two?”
“…”
“For 10, 20 years, consistently practice the justice you believe in. If you walk forward silently like that and then look back, you’ll soon see people following you on the same path.”
“Can I… Really do that?”
“So. No matter what anyone says, you’re the woman I love and you’re the S-Class Hero Ice Queen. Hey, honestly, does S-Class Hero make sense at the age of 25?”
“It’s because of your help that I was able to become an S-class hero.”
The Ice Queen smiled to see how much her worries had been resolved.
“That’s right. I helped. You are not alone. I am, and Aquagirl is there. Raonjena has Gina, Ignis, and Jennifer. Besides them, so many other people are already with you.”
“… Yes. I was not alone.”
The Ice Queen nodded her head. It was her face that became more comfortable, as if the troubles in her heart had been resolved.
“Thank you. It was nice to talk to you as expected.”
“I’m very trustworthy. But Jimin.”
“Huh?”
“I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Uh?”
Steel Armor jumped up from her seat and approached the Ice Queen. And she hugged her roughly and shared her deep kiss.
Taking her lips off, he put his forehead on the ice queen’s and whispered.
“Be prepared for the consultation fee, because you will receive it.”
“…”
The Ice Queen, her face flushed, nodded at her lightly.
