237) The Chaser(136)
“Ideal world… No, look.”
“Yeah. Why are you overdoing it? Didn’t I say you shouldn’t move yet?”
“…”
Despite Lee Sang-gye’s eyes filled with affection and concern, Baek Li-hyang did not like it at all. On the contrary, he showed a slight displeasure.
‘Umm… I guess I’m still unfamiliar with it.’
The displeasure shown by Thyme soon disappeared, but Lee Sang-gye, a 10th-level psychic, did not miss that fleeting moment.
However, he did not show his beloved wife’s displeasure against him. Rather, he woke up after 20 years and tried to console himself, saying that it was because he was unfamiliar with himself.
“I’m sorry. I just wanted to… Move quickly and like before.”
“You don’t have to apologize. I understand how you feel. But now is the time to rest. It’s not too late to start rehabilitation after that.”
“Yes honey… By the way, what year is it now?”
“Huh? What year?”
“Yes. I wonder if I’m dead… How much time has passed.”
“Twenty years have passed. And today…”
Lee Sang-gye told Baek Li-hyang what year it was. Then, Thyme-hyang smiled incomprehensibly.
“So… It’s been a while since I died?”
“Huh? Not too long ago?”
When he said that he had just died, the ideal world had doubts. 20 years is by no means a short enough time to express how much.
“Oh, I don’t mean that… I don’t feel like 20 years have passed. It’s just… I feel like I’ve closed my eyes…”
“That’s right. Oh, it’s not like this, just sit down.”
Lee Sang-gye nodded his head at Baek Ri-hyang’s answer. And he put her back on her bed.
“I have a lot to tell you. You wonder how long I’ve been?”
Lee Sang-gye wanted to tell everyone from one to ten how she had lived and how her children had grown over the past 20 years. As a wife, of course you would be curious.
“… Yes. I’m curious, hey, bo.”
“…”
But Thyme didn’t seem particularly curious. She said she was curious, but the expression on her face showed that she didn’t want to listen.
Lee Sang-gye, who tried to get her words out, shut his mouth at the sight of her wife.
‘It looks like it’s because I’m… Very tired.’
She is very different from the wife he remembers, but Lee Sang-gye thought it was because she had been in a state of suspended animation for 20 years.
‘…’
For a moment, she felt a little bit rude about her wife who didn’t appreciate how much effort she had put into keeping her alive for the past 20 years.
But it’s okay.
Her wife will get her well soon and then she will be able to live a happy life again like she used to.
So let’s wait until then.
I’ve been waiting 20 years for this moment today, but can’t I wait for that moment?
“Hey, bo. I… I’m hungry, but do you have anything to eat?”
“Are you hungry? Wait a minute. I’ll prepare it soon.”
He went outside, probably thinking of making his own food for Thyme. She asked for food, but he smiled as he left, as if his wife was happy that she had asked him for something.
“…”
However, Baek Li-hyang’s expression was the exact opposite of Lee Sang-gye. Her hatred for the ideal world was at its peak, and her affection was nowhere to be found.
“I thought that there would be no one more crazy than me in the world… But Lee Sang-gye is one more drinker than me. That bastard is really a crazy psycho.”
Thyme-hyang shook her head with a harsh curse.
Words she would never say if it were thyme came out of her mouth. If the ideal world had seen this, she would have fainted as it were, saying that this was a dream.
“Ah … I’m hungry. It’s the first time I feel so helpless in my life … Quickly, quickly, I have to eat fresh ‘meat’.
Meaningful words came out of her mouth again.
“… Ah, yes! That would be nice.”
Thyme-hyang gave a fishy smile, probably thinking of something interesting.
“Eat Lee Yu-ri in front of the ideal world. Then it will be a very perfect revenge. A loving wife eats her daughter right in front of her eyes… Hehe! I’m already looking forward to it.”
Regardless of whether it would be fun, one thing was certain that it was a good idea to rummage through.

“Brother Tony!”
“Hey~ Hisashiburi~”
“Huh? Hisashiburi? What does that mean?”
As she waved her hand and greeted her, Joo-young, who did not know the meaning of Hisashi-buri, tilted her head and asked.
“Tsk tsk tsk. Maybe it’s because I’m still young, don’t you know these things? It means long time no see.”
“Oh, really? I’ve never heard of it before.”
“Really? Is there a word that doesn’t exist here?”
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing. Did you practice more than that? We have to win this time.”
“… I’m going to win this time, so do a lot while you can be proud now.”
Recalling the humiliation of 20 consecutive losses, Joo-young glared at her and burned her fighting spirit. You want to poke her when she opens her eyes that wide? But then I couldn’t play the game today, so I refrained.
She told Joo-young two days ago that she had a talent for games, but that’s not a lie. In fact, the reason I was able to beat Joo-young was because of his overwhelming physicality.
No matter how well Joo-young played the game and his understanding of the character was high, he could not beat me because his visual acuity and reaction speed were extremely low.
By the way, the reason why I lost the first game to Joo-young was because it was my first time playing the game.
Anyway, I went into the arcade with Joo-young.
‘It’s crowded.’
I felt invisible people around me. They were talented people who escorted Joo-yeong in the dark.
‘The level is also high. Almost level 7 or higher? At this level, it must be the son of the elder or the son of the head of the household.’
You can guess the identity of the opponent just by looking at the escort troops. Obviously, there was a high probability that Jooyung was the son of an elder or family head.
‘Come to think of it, I told you that the householder had a late-born son, right? The name… Don’t you know?’
I once heard from Mirinae that King Ju, the head of the Ju family, has a second-born son. However, he was not interested in the son of the head of state, so he only heard that he had a son, but did not hear his name or what he looked like.
‘Well, that doesn’t matter.’
It doesn’t matter to me whether Jooyung is really King Ju’s son or not. Jooyoung is a fun little brother to me. That’s enough. The circumstances of adults can be left to the circumstances of adults.
‘And then… He’s here again.’
My eyes fell on the woman sitting in front of the arcade machine. She was the woman who warned me not to approach Jooyung. Today, she was wearing clothes that clung to her body and showed off her voluptuous figure.
‘He must be really tired of life too.’
Jooyoung doesn’t seem to have much interest in anything other than games, but there’s not much fuss around him. Born into a good family, he can live affluent life without worrying about money, but it comes at a price.
“Where, how long have you practiced? Let’s see.”
“Today will be different from last time. I have figured out your style.”
Joo-young sat down on the arcade machine across from me, speaking confidently. After a while, the game started.
*****
“Oh Nul-un, Zuo-bui-yong, Dol-lul, Guo Ye-yu~ My older brother, Stail-un, Djoo-hak-hwi-guo-dun-nyo~”
“…”
His chin was stretched out and as Joo-young did what Joo-young had said, Joo-young grabbed the arcade machine and trembled.
It seemed like he figured out my style. Unlike aggressively manipulating the character, I moved very cautiously today.
But then what?
Like I said before, it depends on the physical.
That’s how Joo-young couldn’t hit my character even once today, and I ended up with a 5-game losing streak.
“Do you want more?
“Ughhhhh! Why! Why can’t I get even one hit! Hhhhh!”
Joo-yeong, who eventually exploded in anger at the frivolous laughter, grabbed the arcade machine and screamed. People who were playing other games looked at Joo-young in surprise.
‘Hmm… Do I have to lose?’
I felt like I had to lose at least once when I was disassembled like that. You can play for a long time if you play in moderation.
“Go?”
“Go! Sit down quickly!”
At Joo-young’s urging, I sat down again. And I picked a character.
“Hey! Hot! Lee Iik!”
As if he was quite angry, Joo-young let out a strange spirit every time he attacked. If I tried to lose too openly, it would rather stimulate Joo-young more, so I met Joo-young’s attack without revealing it.
As a result, even if they hit each other with only one drug attack, they would die.
Jooyoung and I had a war of nerves manipulating the characters. Then I went on the attack first.
Joo-young, who had been moving cautiously, stepped back and avoided my attack. Now it was a situation where Joo-yeong would win if he had to counterattack.
I deliberately used a chain attack that didn’t reach Joo-young in order to lose unobtrusively.
‘Ruler! Now hit my character and taste the joy of victory!’
Joo-young knew that too well, and it was the moment he was about to attack me.
Took-!
“Oh! I’m sorry!”
K! O!
“…”
“… Huh?”
I became the winner of this match.
Joo-young’s character came forward to hit the last hit, but for some reason he didn’t attack and just ran. And I was knocked down after being hit by my character’s linking attack.
I got up and looked at Jooyung’s seat to see what had happened.
“I’m sorry. I sprained my leg… Are you okay?”
“…”
The woman is apologizing to Joo-Young, who is shivering with a drink on his head. Apparently, the moment Joo-young was about to hit the last blow, it seemed that the woman bumped into Joo-young and spilled her drink.
‘What is he really doing?’
I looked at the woman who interrupted Joo-young at the crucial moment. It was the same woman who had warned me not to approach Jooyung.
“Give me your phone number. I’ll pay for the laundry.”
“Eww…”
“Yes? What?”
“Aaaaa!”
“It’s a surprise!”
Perhaps her patience had reached its limit, Joo-yeong jumped up from her seat and screamed at her. As a result, the startled woman fell backwards and hit her buttock.
“Oh! It’s a movement art, right?”
I couldn’t help but admire her shaking breasts.
The shaking of the utmost beauty that men would never take their eyes off of. In fact, the men in the arcade couldn’t take their eyes off the woman’s chest.
But our Joo-yeong didn’t seem to notice such beauty.
“Hey bitch! Do you know what you’ve done?!”
“Muh, what?! You bitch? Did you just say that?!”
“Oh! Our Joo-yeong, isn’t he such a fucking twin boy?”
I couldn’t help but admire her at the sight of Joo-yeong hitting her woman.
