Chapter 719 – Apocrypha 222) the Chaser(121)
222) The Chaser(121)
It went up, down, sideways, whirlwinds, and the roller coaster that ran along the rails at breakneck speed finally stopped.
“…”
The woman in the seat next to me was barely breathing through her whitened face. Earlier she had managed to scream, but now she pursed her lips.
Despite knowing who I am, this brave woman who came to see me by herself, unfortunately, despite her courageous personality, she doesn’t seem to be very good at these thrill rides.
“Are you okay? Can I borrow your handkerchief?”
“Go, thank you…”
Whoa!
“It worked well.”
As soon as the woman received my handkerchief, she blew her nose and gave it back to me.
“…?”
Are you blowing her nose with the handkerchief she gave you to wipe your sweat? Even just give it back? Don’t you usually say that you wash it and give it back?
Swish-
Unbeknownst to the woman, she threw her runny nose-soaked handkerchief on the roller coaster floor. It’s her handkerchief. I can buy another one.
“Anyway, what do you want to say?”
“… Didn’t I tell you everything earlier?”
“I didn’t hear a thing through all the screaming.”
“…”
At my words, the woman cried. At best, she overcame the fear of the roller coaster and revealed her business, but she said she hadn’t heard anything, which would make her feel unfair.
‘But I’ve actually heard everything~’
It was all a lie that she hadn’t heard anything. Everyone! You know this is all a lie?!
No matter how much she talked, even if she screamed, she got it all.
“Hmmmm! Let me formally introduce myself. I…”
“Wait a minute. I’ll get off and talk to you again. If you want to ride this one more time, you can just tell me.”
“…Get down and we’ll talk again.”
She said as she patted the roller coaster, and she got off. I went with her to her cafe near her.
“Please wait a moment.”
As soon as she sat down in her seat, she was a woman! She did and she ran. And in her hand, she brought snacks such as coffee and a piece of cake.
“Here it is.”
“…?”
I looked at the woman who put the coffee down in front of me with absurd eyes.
It’s not absurd that I bought you coffee.
It’s because she put all the pieces of cake, cookies, and bread she bought together in front of me while buying coffee.
This was a woman who didn’t say she was mine and couldn’t give you a bite, but she expressed it with her actions.
‘For an errand boy, he’s a very unique character.’
“I’ll drink well.”
I laughed inwardly and drank my coffee.
“You drank well.”
“??”
Then he set the empty coffee cup with only ice on the table. The woman took turns staring at me and her empty coffee cup with bewildered eyes.
“Uh… Was that all you could drink in one bite?”
“What else can I do?”
“Uh… I see.”
Is this correct? The woman tilted her head with her wanting face and formally introduced herself.
“First of all, let me introduce myself. I’m Yu Na-ri, the lady-in-waiting of Baek Eun-joo, the matriarch of the Lee family. Please take good care of me.”
“Hmm.”
I was a bit surprised when the name of an unexpected person came out of the mouth of the woman, Yunari.
On the rollercoaster, she didn’t say who she served, so of course I killed the remaining five families, ah, Baek Ki-won, so it’s not the Baek family? Anyway, I thought it was from one of the four families.
‘Wait? Baek Ki-won? Baek Eun-joo?’
When I thought of Baek Ki-won, I was naturally able to think of who Baek Eun-joo was.
I had heard from Yuri before. Baek Eun-joo, her adoptive mother, is said to be a woman from the Baek family.
‘Baek Ki-won’s daughter, who died by my hand, wants to see me… Is this a trap?’
She naturally thought it was a trap. If the bereaved family wants to see her father’s killer, that’s the only reason.
“My mother-in-law wants to see you, Steel Armor.”
“Me? Why?”
“I can’t tell you that. I’m just conveying the wishes of the mother who wants to see you.”
“Hmm… It’s a bit out of the blue, but can I hold your hand?”
“… Huh? My hand?”
“Yes. If you don’t like it, it doesn’t matter if you reject it. Instead, Baek Eun-joo’s proposal is rejected.”
“… All right.”
When I said that I would decline Baek Eun-joo’s offer to meet her, Yunari reluctantly reached out to me.
I clasped her hand and held it.
“You have very nice hands.”
“Thank you?”
And used memory stalker psychic powers.
As her time went backwards, her journey to find her day unfolded before her eyes.
Baek Eun-ju orders me to contact him.
Buying information about me by paying money to this family’s intelligence team.
A picture of raising money by selling an expensive-looking ring.
And thanks to her baekeunju, she and her family are saved.
‘First, confirm that he is a loyal errand boy.’
After reading all of Nari Yuna’s memories, I knew that she was deeply grateful to her Baek Eun-ju and would do her job for her, even at her own risk.
However, she couldn’t find out why Baek Eun-joo wanted to see me. I didn’t tell Yunari why she wanted to meet me.
‘It’s pretty. Shall we meet?’
She was a woman from a ruling family, so her beauty was no joke. Her immaculate skin and voluminous body were full of color.
To such a woman she has a son who is 12 years old.
‘Wait? She said Baek Eun-joo said she was 33 years old… So she said she gave birth to a child when she was 21? Oh fuck! He was a perfect father-in-law, thief, and bastard in the ideal world.’
I’m not in a position to say anything to the ideal world, but wouldn’t it be romance if I did it and affair if someone else did it?
Anyway, Baek Eun-joo was quite a beauty. There’s even a married woman premium… Hmmm!
No matter what the purpose is, if it is such a beauty, she is willing to meet it once.
Even if Baek Eun-joo prepared a dangerous trap, she couldn’t do anything about me.
Oh, by the way, she was able to read her memories even without physical contact. I did it this way on purpose just because her hands were pretty.
After reading all of Yunari’s memories, I untied my hands.
“Date.”
“Yes?”
“Tell me when and where to meet.”
“Ah! That’s…”
When I showed my intention to meet Baek Eun-joo, Na-ri Yun smiled at her and told her where to meet.
“Are you coming too then?”
“Yes? Uh… I’m not sure about that either. Everything depends on the wishes of the mother-in-law.”
“Okay? Well then, see you again sometime.”
“Yeah… Eh?! Hey, wait a minute!”
“Baiing! Mmm~ This is delicious.”
She snatched the piece of cake in front of her with her bare hands and popped it into her mouth as she exited the café.
“…”
Looking through the window, Yunari was making an expression as if a coin that had been hit all over her property had been blown up in the air.
“Ku-k-k-k-k-k!”
I burst into laughter at the sight. After a long time, I met a strange and cute woman.
‘Okay. I’ll put you in my harem list too.’
*****
After breaking up with Yunari, I went back to Mirinae. And I enjoyed going on a date with Mirinae at the amusement park again.
I didn’t get to ride many rides because I had to take a break for an hour after riding the rides, but the fact that we went on a date was important.
“Let’s come play again next time.”
“… Yes. I’ll ride more then than today.”
Mirinae, who possesses enough stamina to exclaim, ‘Hey…That bastard is so weak?’, Seemed to regret that she couldn’t ride many rides, so she clenched her fists and even made a promise.
It was nice to see Mirinae, who was troublesome in everything except when she was monitoring the ruling family, burning up her will like that.
“Be in advance.”
“Why?”
“Shall we just go home?”
“What?”
“It’s been a while since we’ve been out like this, so we’re just staying out overnight. How is it?”
“… Good.”
At my suggestion to stay out overnight, Mirinae blushed and nodded.
We had dinner at a famous restaurant and took a walk in the park together. She carried her leg because it hurt.
I wanted to hug her like a princess, but I couldn’t help it because Mirinae strongly objected, saying she was embarrassed.
We talked a lot during that time. It was a daily story that completely excluded the daily content.
You don’t have to have sex to deepen your love. Our love deepened just by looking into each other’s eyes and having a conversation, even on a trivial topic.
‘But no matter what, love is sex!’
At night, we rented a hotel suite.
“Shall we wash together?”
“… Huh.”
Is it because I’m alone? Mirinae did not refuse the offer to wash together. At home, I always refused.
We undressed each other and went into the bathroom together. I filled a large bathtub with warm water and made a lot of bubbles.
I sat in the bathtub first and Mirina sat between my legs. She leaned against me, probably liking my wide arms.
“Today was fun, right?”
“… Yeah. It was good.”
“Let’s go on dates like this often.”
“…Do I deserve it?”
“Huh?”
Mirina, who hugged her legs and leaned her cheek on her lap, spoke in a bitter voice.
“I still remember it. The house was on fire, and people were screaming everywhere.”
“…”
“Even though they used me… But they were family to me. Just because they didn’t love me and used me as a tool… Could it be that my family did something wrong enough to die like that? My father, mother, uncles… Chie-do, the older sister? The younger brother? They were children who knew nothing. They were just children…”
“…”
I hugged her from behind.
Mirinae could not completely escape from the terrible memories of the past. It was natural. There is no one who has been through that and can easily shake it off.
“Be in advance.”
“… Huh.”
“You already deserve to be happy.”
“… I?”
“Yes. You did not forget your family. You gave your life for them. Then you deserve to be happy.”
“… I haven’t gotten my revenge yet.”
“Do you want to avenge your family? Do you want others to feel the same way you did?”
“… No.”
Mirinae shook her head.
Mirinae couldn’t escape the memories of the past. But she was freed from her hatred, which sustained her until now and gnawed at her.
“I’ve lived for them so far, so why don’t I live for you now?”
“… For me?”
“Yeah. For you. Do you want you to be unhappy?”
“… No.”
“Then let’s go. Let go of the past and live happily ever after. You deserve it.”
“… Yes. Will you let me go. Huh… I will. I will be happy.”
Mirinae’s voice softened. Drip-drip-drip-drops of water fell on the bathtub full of water.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I thought I could see a small black woman disappearing.
Um… Brother Thanos snapped his fingers?
