Return， Control， and Eat 50

Chapter 50 – Brother and Sister

The restaurant that the staff at the post office guided us to was bustling with people, perhaps because it was a famous restaurant in the neighborhood.

In order to repay the favor of staff Kim Chul-soo and Tunity, he offered to buy at least one meal.

I went back to the dorm and brought Eunseo with me.
Jia, who had to hide herself, had no choice but to leave it behind.

We sat down at the last empty table and caught our breath.
If I had been a little late, I would have walked in vain.

“…”

Cheol-soo Kim called the waiter and ordered several dishes in a skillful manner.

Boiled soybeans with tomato sauce and meat, horse meat steak, mushroom quiche, moderately expensive whiskey, etc.
Wearing a checkered apron that goes down to her waist, the waitress writes down the menu and disappears into the kitchen.

Even if there is no formality, there is something emotional about it.
It literally felt like a neighborhood restaurant.

“By the way, her girlfriend is really pretty.
I’m envious of a good-looking couple, really.”

Kim Chul-soo, who had finished ordering, spoke kindly.

As his gaze poured out, Eunseo tried to hide the corner of her mouth that flinched.

“I’m not your girlfriend.”

“Huh? Really? I thought it was because he brought me out of the dorm.
So, are you your wife?”

“No.”

When he denied it without hesitation, Eunseo seemed a little shocked.
But maybe it’s because she’s been aware that she’s been tickling lately, so she doesn’t say anything and shuts her mouth sullenly.

I giggled and stroked her hair.

“It’s my sister.
We are traveling together.”

“Ah~ the genes were superior. Somehow!”

“I hear that a lot.”

Tunity and the staff burst into laughter when he said it without pretense.
As she jokes with them, she slightly turns her eyes to look at Eun-seo.

Eunseo’s face was as red as an apple.
She was looking intently at my face like a girl in love.
He must feel the joy that melts his heart when he hears that I am her sister.
Feeling a hundred times happier than when you were treated as a girlfriend or wife.

I don’t know why he does it, but
Of course, that’s because of my suggestion.

The hint that he recognizes me as an older brother and feels great relief and pleasure whenever that happens.

Perhaps Eunseo had been looking at me for too long, her Tunity was looking at her with a puzzled look on her face.

Eunseo herself didn’t seem to notice that gaze at all, so I tapped her shin under the table.
She freaks out and comes to her senses.

“Yes, yes! It’s my little sister!
I’m the owner’s brother and sister!”

“…?”

As Eun-seo babbles, the male employee raises his eyebrows.

What are you talking about?
Eunseo can’t seem to come to her senses because of her beating heart.

I laughed and interjected.

Haha, he’s shy.
It was my first time in Daejeon, so I must have been nervous.”

Eun-seo is staring at me endlessly even while smiling moderately and evasive.

She’s not her but she’s the one who loves me and respects me.
As she was thirsty for the love of her family, she must have wished she had an older brother like me.

If a hint is added to it, it is simple to slightly induce the identity of emotions toward me.

Even at this moment, the gaze looking at me will be changing little by little.
It’s my guess, but maybe I was justifying it by saying that it’s siblings who tickle me, so it’s natural for me to hit them.

I made her aware of her own feelings by throwing her keywords at her as her sister, but nothing more.

I’ll just wait until you mature.

If you forcibly twist it, you will be very confused, and more than anything, that side will be worse.

As we were chatting and swallowing smiles, the waitress started bringing large plates.
It’s a restaurant, and the food looks delicious.

The conversation naturally died down as the smell that stimulated my appetite stung my nose.
We looked at each other and nodded as if we had reached an agreement, then moved our forks and knives and started carrying the pile of food to our mouths.

As I filled my stomach with delicious food and got drunk, it seemed that I was drowsy.

Cheol-soo Kim, who had become less talkative, began to doze off shaking his head and then shuddered.
He said he would go to the bathroom to wake up from his slumber, and stood up with a shy smile.

When he left, the atmosphere in his place became awkward.

Tunity tended not to open her mouth first, whether she was introverted or not, and Eunseo was so confused that she didn’t even know if the rice was going in her mouth or her nose.

But I didn’t try to force the conversation, and I was absorbed in the meal in silence.
It was because I had already heard all the stories I wanted to hear from them.

Most of the things Kim Chul-soo said were trivial rumors or complaints that living was difficult, but there were also a few useful ones.

Like the Highway Robbers and Deadman gangs we talked about earlier.

The food here was delicious enough to understand why I confidently recommend it.
Don’t hold on to the person you don’t like to talk to and harass them.

If you pack it up and take it with you, the doggie will definitely like it.

While I was crunching my asparagus and calling the clerk to order some food to take away, Tunity opened her mouth.

You can’t be a nobleman.

“Princess, what are you talking about…”

“Looks like there’s something wrong.”

“Yes. I’ll tell you directly.
The owner, and Eunseo too. I’d rather not go south of Daejeon for the time being.
Let’s pretend this didn’t happen and don’t come to the consultation room tomorrow.”

What is it, you speak well.
You didn’t say anything except answer questions or laugh quietly, so I thought you hated conversations.

But unfortunately I can’t hear that.
It’s because I’m in a hurry.

I mean, the upper echelons of the empire aren’t just fools.

They bought time by forging evidence that the doggie was dead, but no one knows how long that will work.
The less time it took to develop strength, the better.
I had no intention of sitting around in a place like this.

“Can I say that? You’re a post office worker.
Wouldn’t you like to receive a salary by introducing a wagon to a guest and taking a commission?”

“Yes, that’s right. But I’m saying this because the owner doesn’t seem to know the situation here.
Do you know what it means to borrow Noel’s carriage?”

Of course you don’t know, man.

I shrugged her shoulders and she continued.

“Noel Sanghoe is one of the largest companies in Daejeon.
By leasing mining rights in mines near Daejeon, they are reaching out to a wide range of fields from mining to distribution and processing.
Among the products that hit the jackpot because of the high quality of mana stone processing, there are quite a few products from Noel Corporation’s subsidiaries.”

“So what?”

“In short, the breath here is very strong.
Especially in the south of Daejeon, they are the law.”

“They say the south of Daejeon is a lawless zone.
It’s a place no one can control anyway, so isn’t it natural for a powerful person to shout loudly?
It’s fortunate that there are people who work in that way.
It wasn’t them this time either. There was almost no stagecoach going south.”

Tunity wrinkled her eyes as if in trouble.
She looked around and lowered her voice.
Tunity whispered.

“There is some truth in what the owner said.
The problem is that Noel Sanghoe’s method is a bit… Barbaric to put it another way.
In the south of Daejeon, there are mines where all kinds of minerals are buried.
However, as it is such a rough area, the labor issue has always been a headache, but in a way, it is natural that Noel Sanghoe’s eyes are directed at those who have lived there before.”

“Aha.”

“Even at that moment, people were leaving, so there was not enough manpower to accept only applicants.
It was not a pleasant thing for Noel Company, which leased mining rights from the mine owner, Viscount Barrier, for a large sum of money.
They went out of their way to avoid a deficit.
At first, it was enough to attract people who did not know anything by offering high wages, but after the government completely withdrew from the south of Daejeon and became a lawless zone, it showed its dark intentions in earnest.
It has come to the point of engaging in human trafficking by taking control of the distribution channels for daily necessities, hiring people at low prices, and hiring thugs to intimidate and kidnap, as well as bring in illegal slaves who did not pass through slave cities.”

Eunseo, who was listening to Tunity’s explanation, trembled.
You must have heard a familiar name. I was also surprised inside.
Viscount Barrier was the most likely person to be Eunseo’s biological father.

It’s tied like this again.
Well, since Daejeon is right next to Berlin, his sphere of influence, is that a reasonable thing to do?

Anyway, I shouldn’t have been surprised.
The fact that I heard about her past from Eunseo was something she herself did not know.

I let go of the needle and continued my conversation with Tunity.

“No matter how good the money is, isn’t it too much?
There is such a thing as a company image, but it’s going too far.
Noel Trading is a Daejeon company. I don’t know if it’s in the lawless south, but isn’t it punishable here?”

“Noel Sanghoe meticulously hides the acts they are committing south of Daejeon.
Maybe that’s why he thinks he won’t be punished no matter what he does, so it seems that the things he does these days have gotten worse.
Of course, they couldn’t cover the sky with their palms, although rumors spread about their evil deeds.”

“It’s hidden because it’s hidden? They say it’s just grabbing people.”

“Because they are under the tacit protection of Viscount Barrier.
Viscount Barrier is a de facto black man who turns a blind eye to the cover-up of the Noel Company’s evil deeds, and sometimes sends his own minions to interfere in business.
Even as a mine owner, he wouldn’t want the mines here to be abandoned.”

Hmm…
I knew one.
Viscount Barrier is a human being who fits the typical nobility image in my heart.

Thank god.

He would soon be beaten by my hands, and if he had been a good man, he might have felt uncomfortable.

I already guessed when I saw him teasing his dick.

Anyway, I have to stop talking about this.
Hearing of his father’s misdeeds, Eunseo looked upset as if she remembered the trauma.

I’m the only one in the world who deserves to upset my girls.

“I heard you well.
In a word, the people of Noel Company aren’t really suitable as companions for a trip to the lawless zone, right?”

Tunity nodded her head.
Then, raising a finger and placing it on his lips, he adds:

“I hope you understand. And keep this story in your heart.
At least in Daejeon, it would be good for you to not even open your mouth.”

“Sure. Uh, Eunseo. What’s wrong? Your face doesn’t look good.”

“Never mind.”

Eunseo replied with an expression that made her feel uncomfortable at first glance.

Did you say anything anyway?

I opened her eyes wide and she pursed her lips.

“Why, come on?
It’s strange when her sister treats her brother with respect.”

She leaned against me, whispering in a low voice so her tunity couldn’t hear, pretending it was a mistake.
It’s soft and warm, so it feels good.
The reason why her body temperature is so hot from her is probably not just because of the alcohol.

She enjoys her bliss for a moment, then searches her pockets and pulls out her two gold coins.
When she put them on the table, they didn’t shine… But she did enough to startle Tunity.
Two gold coins was too much for food.

“Is this too much?”

“One piece is enough to pay for the meal. Take the remaining one, Mr. Tunity.
Think of it as a price that gave you useful information, and use it as you like.”

“But…”

Tunity hesitated as if he couldn’t accept this kind of money.

He’s a greedy person

If you’re like me, I’ll take it.

“Just take it. It’s because I wanted to do it like a movie.
And I’m sorry Mr. Cheol-su, but we have to go because her sister seems to be uncomfortable.
He’s always like this that day.”

“This, you crazy bastard…!”

I stood up from the table and grabbed Eunseo’s arm and lifted her up.
Eunseo blushed and spat out swear words, while Tunity smiled bitterly without saying anything.

Eun-seo struggled to see if she was pissed off and started to beat me, but I got annoyed and reached out both of my hands to put her on her back, and she calmed down in an instant.

“Then fine.”

“Whoa… I’ll see you again someday.”

Tunity smiled and said the cliché goodbye.

Well, see you again tomorrow.

I went back to the dorm with Eunseo on my back.
As I tried to walk with a grown woman on my back, passers-by looked at me once in a while, but they smiled and went on their way, probably thinking that they were drunk.

When we almost arrived at the dorm, Eunseo said in a crawling voice.

“…Let me down.”

“You should speak louder.”

“Put it down, brother. It’s embarrassing.”

She said a little louder.
Now I don’t even have to pretend to be her brother and sister, but Eun-seo still spoke half-heartedly.

On this occasion, she thought to let go of the words quietly.
That means it felt good to be treated like my little sister, right?

As she carried Eunseo on her back, her soft breasts, like dumplings, were pressed against my back, so I could clearly feel her heart beating.

Even me is excited.

The hot breath brushing my ears, the purple hair tickling the nape of my neck, my thighs wrapped in stockings.
It was enough to make me a male, but I don’t show it yet.

Now that she was aware of her identity as a younger sister due to my suggestion, she intended to play her kind brother for the time being.
Until she begged me to fucking fuck her as she considered her real family.
Well, judging from her reaction, I don’t think it will take very long.

She ignored her request to get down and wrapped her thighs tighter, and Eunseo said nothing more.

When we got back to the inn, the dog greeted us.
With no eyes to see, Jia seemed to be resting in a comfortable outfit with her tail and ears exposed.

Seeing her wagging her tail and being happy, her happiness fills her heart.
Right after she reached out to touch her ear, Jia raised her eyebrows when she saw Eunseo sitting on my back.
Seeing this, Eunseo trembled as if she was terrified.

“…Master, did you meet a woman?”

Jia, who seemed like she was going to bite Eunseo at any moment, sniffed at her.
It seems that my body smelled of Tunity.
Her tail just stopped moving.
It’s just that they ate at the same table, but it’s a very clever doggie to notice that.

“I was a post office worker. The four of us, including Eunseo and another male employee, came to eat.”

“Hmm…”

Hearing my words, Jia half-opened her eyes and looked at her Eun-seo.
As she nods her head, Jia lets out her snort in her satisfaction.
It seems that the mind has been released.

“…”

I guess the reason you sent Eunseo along was to spy on me.
Do you have separation anxiety?

“I couldn’t hear you because you left right away. What happened to the stagecoach?
Are you leaving tomorrow too?”

“They said they rented everything at Noel’s store. We decided to meet tomorrow if we couldn’t ride on it.
Well, that’s tomorrow, so let’s sleep for now. I’m tired.”

“Yes. I’ll bring the packaged food.”

After roughly washing up, Eunseo, who washed first, was lying on the bed.
There were two beds in the room we rented, and both were wide, so two people could lie down without being cramped.

Eunseo glanced at me once and then turned her back to the bed.

I giggled and lay down on the opposite bed, and the doggie lay down next to me as if it had been waiting for it.

“Uh?”

I hear Eun-seo turn her head in amazement.
Jia must have thought that of course she would lie down next to him.
Or I smirking and sleeping with both Jia and Eunseo on.

I’m sorry, but today I’m going to sleep only holding hands with Mongmong.
You sleep alone in a wide bed.

Pretending not to know anything, Jia lays down next to her and hugs her soft tail as a pillow.
When they spread the blanket over the two of them and turned off the lamp, the room became dark.
I can feel Eunseo restlessly on the bed next to me.

It seems that me and the doggie are worried.

When I moved my legs or made the sound of fluttering the blanket for no reason, I heard Eunseo turning over on the bed.

I laughed quietly with Jia under the blanket.

As time passed and Jia and I didn’t make a sound for several tens of minutes, Eunseo seemed to think we were asleep.

“…I’m sorry…”

From her bed, she began to hear soft groans, the rustling of her clothes, and the sound of something rubbing against her.
