Chapter 156 – 156. Fox 3
As I walked to the distribution center, many thoughts came to mind.
The first thing I feel is a sense of relief.
It is true that I, who had no experience or ability, suddenly had to take care of multiple homes and felt quite burdened.
Because I always had to worry and felt like I was being chased.
Moreover, I felt very uncomfortable not being able to concentrate on one thing.
It was quite stressful having to worry about Mina while being with Seunghee, worrying about Se-Ah while meeting Mina, and constantly thinking about returning to Seung-Hee while being with SeAH.
But now there is no need for that.
Moreover, I am very grateful that Seunghee takes such an active role.
I think that’s the biggest thing.
That you can get help. There is no need to struggle and solve problems on my own.
For someone like me who is not used to receiving help from someone, this is such a sad thing that I wonder if this is okay.
The distribution center in the evening is quite nice.
It feels like a tree fortress. Now that spring has come, and more trees are planted around the area, it will become a forest fortress, right?
It would be better if we could just do something about that container at the entrance. Should I at least apply camouflage paint?
“You came.”
“Are you… Donghyun? Turning invisible?”
“Yes, that’s right. You finally memorized it.”
“That’s right. I memorized the man’s name again.”
“Haha. It’s an honor. My name was memorized by my brother. I didn’t call on the radio inside yet because I didn’t know who was visiting. Can I call someone?”
“Um, no. I’ll go inside. Where’s the leader?”
“Seunggyu hyung? Wait a minute.”
Donghyun used the walkie-talkie to ask inside and then give me the answer.
“It’s in a greenhouse.”
“Okay. Have a hard time.”
“Yes.”
When I go to the greenhouse, Seung-gyu welcomes me warmly.
“Uh. Are you here?”
Seung-gyu is taking care of the crops with Hayul, and Yu-jeong and Anna are next to him.
When Anna saw me, she came over with a bright expression and grabbed my hand.
“Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for saving me.”
“Huh?”
“It’s the first Korean word Anna learned that she wants to say when Seongcheol comes.”
Yujeong is helping from the side.
Ah. I see I was surprised. I was so fluent in Korean that I wondered what was going on.
Anna said something quickly to Yu-jeong, and Yu-jeong listened for a moment as if she was interpreting what she said, and then she spoke to me.
“If anyone who captured Anna needs any information or needs to ask anything, he tells them to ask him. He says he’ll answer everything he knows.”
“Ah. Tell them it’s okay. I killed them all anyway.”
Yujeong was a little shocked when she heard what I said, but relayed it to Anna. Then Anna shakes her head and says something again.
“It’s about the guys who came to the hotel, not the White Horse Village? The expression was a bit rough, so I softened it up a bit and conveyed it.”
“Ah… Are they the ones on the list?”
“Yes?”
“No, just a moment.”
I took out a bundle of documents from my backpack.
The safe of the boss of Baekma Village opened by Se-Ah. Lists from there.
Just looking at it, it looks like a schedule. And things like ledgers.
The names written there. Organizations. These are people who will make coins if you catch and kill them all, but you can’t tell where they live just by looking at their names.
“I think they’re talking about these guys. This girl can’t read Korean yet, right?”
“Yes. Speaking and listening and reading and writing have different levels of difficulty…”
“Then, could you please take a look at this here and ask me a question? I’m very sorry to ask you to translate this one by one.”
“No, to this extent. I’m not a professional interpreter, so I’m clumsy.”
“Still, if it weren’t for my sister-in-law, we wouldn’t have been able to communicate at all. Thank you.”
Yujeong laughs at my words. I spoke to such a sentient being.
“The only person who can speak Russian is my sister-in-law, so I have to ask you a favor even if it’s inconvenient. Please show this to Anna and find out about the people listed here. You probably don’t know much, but the way you talk like that makes me know something. It looks like you did it. You must be busy taking care of the logistics center, but I would like to ask you a favor.”
“Don’t worry. If I can be of help, I can do as much as I can.”
“Oh. And.”
“Yes?”
“How long will it take for Anna to be able to communicate fluently in Korean?”
“Well, it depends on the person… So it’s hard to say for sure.”
“I guess so. I understand. Anyway, I’ll ask you a favor.”
How many times do I have to say please?
Anyway, while I was talking to Yujeong, Anna kept smiling brightly at me and seemed to be listening intently to what we were talking about.
It’s also nice to see an unrealistically pretty girl continue to show interest in me.
Is there really a man who would refuse this? No.
“Oh, by the way. And there’s one important thing.”
“Yes?”
“Honey. Tell me about it. Skill.”
“Ah. Skill!”
Seunggyu comes towards me and says.
“That’s right. We should talk about that. About Anna’s skills.”
“Huh? Ah. Come to think of it, I don’t even know Anna’s skills. I didn’t even think to ask her because I couldn’t communicate with her.”
When I thought about it, it was quite dangerous.
The Baekma Village guys didn’t put any restrictions on Anna, so I thought it was a non-dangerous skill and was relieved, but I still don’t know what the skill is.
“That’s right. I don’t think Anna has any skills.”
“Huh? Does that make sense?”
“No. I can choose a skill, but I guess I couldn’t because the skill is in Korean. That’s why the skill slot is empty.”
“Huh? Really? You haven’t chosen a skill yet? But… It comes out in Korean? What? If you’re from Russia, shouldn’t it come out in Russian?”
“Well, I don’t know either. Anyway, he said his skills were in Korean. So he didn’t know what they were, so he left them as is.”
“Wow. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.”
There is no way that everyone in the world has skills in Korean. Maybe it’s because there’s something wrong with Anna that makes it look like that?
I wonder if it makes sense, but looking at the way the people who created the skill handle their work, it seems like something like this could happen. Whatever it is, it’s nice.
“That’s why I wanted to ask you before choosing a skill. I guess you know this well.”
“Detecting nearby humans.”
“Huh?”
“They tell you to choose how to detect people around you. That’s the only option.”
“Aha. That’s it? Feeling the presence of people within the surrounding radius? Yes. That would be nice.”
Maybe it’s because I’ve told Seung-gyu about detection before, but I understand right away. After all, it’s a sense of leader.
“Anyway, that’s a skill that everyone in the logistics center needs to learn. It won’t be easy, but if Anna learns it first, it will be a lot of relief.”
“Okay, let’s do that. Honey, please pass it on.”
“Yes.”
I explained in detail what I know about detection.
Seunggyu and Yujeong nod their heads and listen to my story. Anna and Hayul listen intently to my story without even knowing what I am saying.
After saying everything, Yujeong, Hayul, and Anna went inside.
When Seunggyu and I were left alone, I slowly got to the point.
“Oh. And.”
“Okay. There must be a purpose for coming here, but it looks like we just talked about other things. Why did you come today?”
“Ah. Well, I’m going to take Se-ah.”
“Do you need to tell me if you’re going out with Se-ah? We can just go out together, right?”
“No. I want to take you with me completely.”
“Completely? Out of here?”
“Yes.”
“Really? Hmm. It’s a shame. We won’t have anyone to pick the lock.”
“It’s not like they never come.”
“Even so… Hmm. Who knows that you’re here now?”
“Me? The people I just saw at the entrance with Donghyun?”
“Okay then. Get out right away. I’ll tell Se-ah and send her out. In about 30 minutes?”
“Why?”
“Ugh. I have to think about the people here. Especially the women.”
“Yes?”
“Let’s go out first. If I stay here and find out you’re here, it’ll be a little annoying.”
Seunggyu and I went to the container at the entrance.
“Donghyun. What time is your shift?”
“I have about 30 minutes left, right?”
“Really? Then go in and rest. I’ll stay until the next person comes. Who’s next?”
“Minjun.”
“Okay, okay. Go and rest.”
“Really? Why? What’s going on?”
“It’s no big deal. I’m just going to test something here with Seongcheol.”
“Oh. Really? I understand. Thank you.”
“Tell Minjun to come down on time.”
“Yes.”
Donghyun goes inside, and Seunggyu looks at me.
“Why so much trouble?”
“Seongcheol.”
“Say it.”
“The women here. They’re all good people, right?”
“I don’t know that.”
“Anyway. They are good people. And what they have in common is that they are people who were helped by you in some way.”
“So?”
“I don’t know about you, but everyone has a crush on you, whether they know it or not. Don’t you know that?”
“I know a little bit. But it’s just a feeling of gratitude rather than a feeling of love for the man, right? Probably not for some.”
“Emotions are extremely complex, but sometimes they are very simple. Do you think that feelings of gratitude are clearly differentiated from feelings of attraction toward men?”
“Well… I don’t know much about that.”
“And you know, it’s a pretty closed place. And it’s kind of funny that I say this, but… Some of the women here are quite celibate. By force.”
“I know what you mean.”
It’s something I’ve thought about too. Sisters, Jiyeon, or whatever, I don’t know if they have a partner, but if they don’t, the distribution center is like a monastery to them.
And those things are difficult to express. It’s a problem that you can’t help but embrace and whine about.
It is also true that we need to care about the sexual desires of our members… I can’t do this.
“If those girls say you take Se-ah out to live… The atmosphere won’t be very good. From the position in charge of this place, it’s not a very pleasant situation.”
“I understand. So, will you let Se-Ah go naturally?”
“Yes. He’s already excited about learning how to become invisible, and he seems to have always liked going outside, so there won’t be a big problem. So, I’ll let him go naturally. I’m not going to follow you, but rather his outside activities will be prolonged.”
“Okay, but.”
Seung-gyu looks at me quizzically at my words.
“Why don’t you just do it freely? It may be rude, but… Don’t you just want to freely embrace women?”
Seunggyu smiles bitterly at my words.
“I’m being honest with men… Of course, I’d like that too. But before I’m a man, I’m a father and a husband. It’s not easy to do that.”
“The world is ruined, so is being a father and a husband that important?”
Hey. To anyone, I might look like Satan the devil testing the leader of a healthy group.
Does he look like the devil of temptation and corruption?
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it. But I try to protect what I want to protect. It’s not like I’m that crazy about women. Maybe when you get into your 30s, you’ll understand my feelings.”
“Shouldn’t you like a woman no matter how old she is?”
“It’s a little different. There comes a moment when the responsibility that goes into hugging a woman becomes more bothersome than the pleasure you feel.”
“Giving up pleasure because you’re too lazy to take responsibility?”
“It’s an extremely calculated action. Especially in my case right now, the harm is greater than the benefit.”
“I don’t know. Anyway, if that’s the case, then I should also respect them. So should I at least catch some useful men?”
“I really hope so. I hope Seungju and Junghyun grow up quickly.”
“They’re acting like men enough now, right? Ah. This conversation is a little strange. It’s like they’re saying to use children as biological dildos. It’s like throwing them to starving women.”
“I’ll do it. At that age, I’m full of blood. But that’s not something I want to do.”
“Wow. It’s a lot of trouble. I have to take care of these things too.”
“That’s right. We’ll take care of things like whether we’re in a relationship or if we see eye to eye, but we still have to meet the conditions. That way, there won’t be any complaints.”
“I have no intention of keeping the men alive. Ugh. If they are of Jinyoung’s caliber, I would still consider saving them.”
“Jinyoung is great. She is, but she is infatuated with Seohyun.”
“Ugh. Anyway, I understand. So, are you telling me to wait outside?”
“Uh, there’s a camera, so wait nearby. I’ll tell you to get ready there and then head out.”
“I understand.”
“Go carefully.”
“Yes. I will go.”
I came out of the logistics center.
Really… It’s not easy. You have to care about the sexual desires of your members.
Are you thinking it’s easy because it’s not my job? Just live freely. Troublesome.
But. Also, if you are too promiscuous, that will also be a problem. There is no need to be radical in anything.
