Chapter 753 – 753. Connection (4)
Erin, who had communicated with Eunhyeon at a distance, headed straight to Juhong.
“Hyun-i will bring you.”
“Really… Hyun is your brother?”
Ju-hong opened his eyes wide and asked again.
Even though she finally got a clue from Eun-hyeon and was able to face him face-to-face, she couldn’t believe it.
“No? Won’t you meet me then?”
“Oh no! I want to check it out for myself!”
Ju-hong hurriedly shook her head.
It is the connection that allows her to meet Eun-hyeon, who finally got her hands on it.
He was even convinced that he was the Eunhyeon he was looking for.
Traces of technology like Erin and herself, and their names.
You cannot get more certainty than this.
There were a few things that were unexpected.
‘Seo, can’t Hyun think that her brother is married…’
Ju-hong looked at Erin with suspicious eyes.
‘What the hell is a woman doing?’
She is a really normal woman on the outside.
A white dress with sky blue lace hanging from it, a light blue cardigan that matched the carefully braided dark blue hair, and the heels of shoes that were completely unsuitable for battle.
Contrary to the appearance of a woman dressed up in order to look good to her lover, Erin was strong.
‘… It’s a complete monster.’
It doesn’t look like there’s much of a difference in age, but in terms of physicality, magical power, and experience, he simply overwhelmed himself.
At the time she was an adventurer in Bartel Kingdom, she had enough skills to build a career and survive, but that was only an outstanding level among adventurers spread across the continent, and she couldn’t look high.
But Erin is different.
The difference between the perfection of her skills is higher than her own.
But in her strength, in her speed, and in her magic and psychological warfare, everything was inferior, and there was no way she could be defeated.
Ju-hong had to admit his complete defeat.
“Hmm…”
While Ju-Hong was confused about her current situation, Erin wondered how to bring her fallen Runan back to her.
Bumblebee is a single-seater bike, so it is impossible to ride all night with Ju-Hong and Runan.
But even so, she couldn’t even move Retona.
Eun-hyeon forbade her from using Retona due to the fact that Erin’s driving skills were poor.
Erin grunted, dissatisfied with it, but she didn’t rebel against his words.
‘Let’s take them to a nearby village and call the Heilang members there to lead them.’
To be honest, I was very upset that the date schedule was suddenly ruined, but since she rescued Runan safely, it wouldn’t be a big problem if I left this level of cleaning up to Heilangdan.
Erin thought that if she asked Eunhyeon too, she would gladly accept this.
After her thoughts, Erin immediately took action.
“Excuse me. Please help me move this man.”
“… Okay.”
At Erin’s request, Ju Hong lifted Runan as if to support her, who had recovered from her wounds.
‘Really… Has everything recovered?’
I witnessed with my own two eyes the miracle that the severed fingers were restored and the complexion that had become pale due to the shedding of a lot of blood returned to normal due to the potion Erin used. Performance was disappointing.
In terms of performance alone, it was a potion with an enormous value that could not be easily obtained even with dozens of gold coins, but Erinn’s action of using it casually was more invigorating.
‘Could Hyun really be my brother’s wife?’
It wouldn’t be a lie that she was connected to Eun-hyeon.
But even so, she believed that even when she said that she was Eun-hyeon’s wife, she was not an innocent woman either.
This place is more brutal and disorderly than Earth.
She lies casually, stabs her in the back, and it is so easy for someone to die if she does something wrong.
A world where people die so easily and it is taken for granted.
The Arcena continent seen from the point of view of vermilion was like that.
She was reincarnated on the continent of Arcana with memories of the past without any foundation or ties, and thus she has survived by going through all sorts of battles alone.
That’s why she had no choice but to doubt Erin in front of her.
‘… You said your brother made a woman? It can’t be.’
She couldn’t easily believe that Eun-hyeon, whom Ju-hong knew, had married her and started a family for her.
Especially since she is Ju-Hong, who knows Eun-Hyeon from her time living on Earth.
“What are you looking at?”
Erin asked, feeling the scarlet gaze staring straight at her.
“… No. Nothing.”
“Lie.”
“…”
Now, in Ju-hong’s emotions, there were surprise, astonishment, and doubt.
Ju-hong trembled with his body.
It was because his vague words didn’t make any sense at all.
As if you were looking into your own mind.
Erin can really read the emotions of others, just as Ju-Hong subconsciously sensed it.
Ju-hong, who didn’t know much about her Erin, was quite puzzled as to how he had discovered it.
I was curious about what the hell it was, so I questioned it.
“Just… I just couldn’t believe that you were the wife of her brother Hyun.”
“… Why me? What am I doing?”
Ju-hong let out a small sigh at Erin’s persistent questioning.
Now that I felt annoyed, I honestly expressed my thoughts.
“Yeah you Hyun is not at all the type of woman her brother likes.”
In fact, it was only half right and half wrong.
If she were to tell her why she was thinking right away, she would have to tell Eun-hyeon’s past history, but no matter how much she called herself his wife, she had to tell Eun-hyeon’s past history, but she didn’t want to.
So I just messed around with it.
“…”
“Hmm?”
Ju-hong, who was moving by supporting Runan, looked ahead with a puzzled expression.
Erin, who was leading first, stiffened her entire body like a hardened log and turned around to stare at the vermilion.
“You, you…”
“Uh?”
“What do you know!”
“… ?”
Ju-hong put on a puzzled expression at Erin’s sudden, almost seizure-like behavior without warning.
One thing is for sure, he unintentionally touched Erin’s evil.
“How much Hyeon-yi likes me!”
“…”
“Even in bed… ! Ah.”
Erin realized later that she was about to say something and she stopped.
“Hmm, hmm.”
It was too late now to pretend to be polite.
Seeing Erin’s sincere expression and her words, Ju-hong let out a small sigh.
“Okay. Okay. I will believe you.”
She wondered what this was, a serious matter that she believed and had to judge her own. She thought deeply, but it occurred to her that it would be less troublesome to calm her down here.
“… Really?”
“What do you believe this is?”
Erin, who was walking in front of her, slowly slowed down her stride and started to walk side by side with Ju-Hong, who was walking with Runan as her support.
“Hey. What kind of woman is Hyun-i’s preference?”
“What?”
“You did. That I’m completely different from Hyun-i’s ideal type. So, what kind of woman is Hyun-i’s ideal woman?”
“…”
Ju-hong looked at Erin with a bewildered look.
Why the hell is he pretending to be so casually friendly to himself?
Couldn’t understand it
Of course, as Erin, she approached because she had a glimpse of Ju-hong’s feelings and was convinced that she was not an evil person.
However, to Ju-Hong, who had no idea of the process, Erin’s affinity for narrowing the distance in an instant was very embarrassing.
She couldn’t trust anyone while working on the Arcena continent.
It was all the more so because the stranger he met was the vermilion that he had unconditionally suspected.
“Huh? Tell me.”
“I don’t know exactly…”
Ju-hong was taken aback by Erin’s attitude of closing her distance in such a familiar way that he answered her question without realizing it.
When she heard Erin’s question, she recalled in her mind the face of a woman Eun-hyeon would have had as her ideal type.
[Welcome. Hong Ah.]
A very young child who had grown up alone with her father without her mother.
It was a part of a clumsy memory that was fragmented like a film that had been cut, but the voice and the warm feeling were still clearly in Juhong’s head.
“He must be a warm and energetic person…”
“What. That is? Anything more like that look or personality? Either very pretty or strong.”
Erin tilted her head.
“I don’t know. Just… I just muttered what came to my mind.”
She was just an expression of how she felt.
“How do you know that? Are you… Hyun-yi’s ex-lover or something?”
“… What the hell are you imagining?”
Ju-hong frowned at Erin’s guess, saying that it was nonsense.
Erin, who for the first time read the irritated feeling that Ju-hong was showing, tilted her head.
“Do you have a family? Like a father or an older brother.”
“There is… Summer solstice… I have an older brother.”
Erin made a puzzled expression at Juhong’s question.
There were no recollections of her father whatsoever, nothing more than the horrible memories she lived through day after day.
The only thing she could think of was Elvin, whom she could call her only family, excluding Eunhyun and her other wives.
“Can you see that brother as a man?”
“What? What do you mean by that?”
“It literally means. Can you see that brother as a man, more than a relationship with romantic feelings?”
“…”
Erin, who understood Juhong’s words, frowned as if she was upset.
It was an imagination she had never even thought of.
Just imagining it gave her goosebumps all over her body.
Erin immediately answered Ju-hong’s question without thinking about it.
“Swarm. Absolute bunch. I just imagined it, but it’s creepy.”
“That’s how I feel for Hyun-i oppa. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Ah. I see.”
Erin nodded her head as she fully understood how Ju-Hong felt, frowning her face as if she was offended.
Erin, who somehow felt better about her, smiled and said to Ju-hong.
“Good! You pass!”
“… What?”
Ju-hong couldn’t understand what he meant by passing.
“Later, besides Hyun, there are people you need to meet. When that time comes, I will help you.”
“… ?”
If Ju-Hong has a similar relationship with Eun-Hyeon as her daughter or sister, it is natural that he should introduce other wives as well.
She was contemplating how to explain this to Illyana if Eun-hyeon and her former lover were in a delicate relationship, but since Ju-hong directly denied that possibility, the situation she was most worried about would not unfold.
“Let’s go to Hyeoni!”
Ju-Hong, who couldn’t follow the flow of Erin, who suddenly felt better, was distracted by her being dragged by Erin’s behavior.
‘… What do you mean pass?’
Erin said that besides Eunhyeon, she had other “Persons” She needed to meet.
And considering that she had even said that she would help her in that situation, she was somehow very uncomfortable.
But at the same time as that thought, a strange feeling rang in Ju-hong’s heart.
‘At las…’
She is finally able to meet Eun-hyeon.
