Chapter 9 – Repayment
After completing a satisfactory exchange, Jun led his group to a place where there was a merchant selling books.
“But what about Harry?”
“It will still be in front of the vendor selling snacks. “I asked you to go with me, but you refused, saying I had to choose delicious snacks for you.”
Did you really believe that?
He was truly a pure friend.
‘That’s why it’s better.’
I felt at ease when I was with him.
When you’re with someone, you usually worry about what that person is thinking or feeling, but when you’re with that friend, you don’t have to worry about all that.
Jun really liked that.
‘I’m a really annoying person too.’
When there is someone around, that person gets on my nerves and wants to be alone in peace.
Conversely, when I’m alone, I miss the warmth of people, so I look for someone to be with me.
Because of this contradictory behavior, Jun did not have very good interpersonal relationships in his past life, and that is why he valued friends who could easily guess his thoughts.
That was the biggest reason why I couldn’t easily break off my relationship with that beast.
‘At least they all looked delicious, so you couldn’t choose, right? Let’s buy them one by one.’
June decided to give Harry a bunch of snacks.
Of course, since the teeth may rot, you should store them in a subspace and give them one by one so that they cannot be eaten all at once.
“What is my share?”
“Do you think I will take away my mother’s share?”
“You’re so kind, our Juni.”
Fortuna smiled warmly and stroked Jun’s head.
I don’t know why, but she really liked being called mom by him.
Although it was an apologetic term for her mother in her previous life, Mrs. Han, Jun also had no objection to calling her his mother.
This is because I felt her motherly nature in her sometimes strict and sometimes kind nature.
It’s to the point where it’s meaningless to tell God that I don’t need a new family because he won’t admit it anyway.
Well, if the motherhood felt from Fortuna was 100% pure, she wouldn’t have been able to accept her as her mother, as she said earlier.
Her sticky and secret hidden within her motherhood stimulated her sense of immorality, so she accepted her as her mother.
Maybe.
No, to be honest, that was right.
Because that is one of Jun’s secret preferences.
“Pfft!”
Jun, who realized his secret taste again, speeded up his walking speed.
Leon and the two tomboys complained, but he ignored them.
He didn’t want to show the children his red face due to self-reflection.
Soon, Jun and the group arrived in front of a merchant selling books.
There was also a vendor selling snacks nearby, so June turned his head around to look for Harry.
But strangely enough, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find Harry.
Jun had an ominous feeling for some reason.
“Jun, hurry up. “Misfortune is piling up for you.”
The lucky angel warned.
Jun did not pay attention to the warning.
Skill-Activation
Time began to pass slowly around me due to my increased information processing ability.
Jun looked around with calm eyes and focused on the space.
“It’s cheap! It’s cheap!”
“Oh, well, the village chief stole money again.”
The sound of merchants soliciting customers and women chatting throughout the market could be heard as clearly as if they were nearby,
Plod
Degurur
The movement of people walking down the street and the movement of apples falling from a stall looked and felt as vividly as if they were seen and felt right in front of you.
Soon, all the space surrounding the market was completely taken over by Jun.
Only then did Jun…
Puck! Puck!
“… Stop… I don’t like it.”
I was able to find what I wanted.
“Jun, did you find Harry?”
As soon as June was about to head towards Harry, Leon, who was quietly watching him, asked him.
“Uh, I need to help you quickly. We are under attack.”
“I’m going with you too.”
“Can you beat that bastard and the bastards below him when they are the culprits?”
“Harry is already under attack. Then…”
Leon, who was speechless with a pained expression, soon put on a determined expression and added, ‘I’m going to hit you.’
Jun did not refuse his help because he felt confident if he helped him.
“Sister Linda, please call Father Leonard. He’s probably at the village hall. Henny, you bring your dad. Since he’s at the butcher’s shop, you can go there. And there is a vacant lot behind the general store that has been cleared for a warehouse. “Bring me there.”
“I understand.”
“Uh, yes.”
After seeing the two tomboys nod their heads, Jun immediately kicked off the ground and ran.
Leon followed closely behind him.
Adults were seen all over the street, but neither Jun nor Leon asked for help.
If that were the case, it would have escalated, and it would have been obvious that someone would bow their head in shame at the resulting consequences.
It’s not even your fault.
After a while, Jun and Leon passed through the alley between the general store and the bakery and arrived at an empty lot.
Then he saw Harry being beaten by children who were half the size of him.
Sparks flew into the eyes of Jun and Leon, who were gritting their teeth at the sound of beatings that they heard as they passed through the alley.
“Over there!”
“Hey, over there!”
The beaters discovered Jun and Leon at the sound of running.
Among them, one of the batterers who was stepping on Harry’s stomach puffed out his chest as if showing off and gave a bitter look at the two people.
‘Smile because you did a good job.’
Jun chewed his lips and activated his magic core.
The surrounding mana was instantly colored with his color.
Then, Jun pulled his right fist back and imagined.
My own appearance right in front of his fishy face.
Skill-Realize
Magic-Blink
Soon the imagination became reality.
“Huh?”
“What should I do?”
Puck!
Jun’s right fist, which was pulled backwards, hit the guy squarely in the face.
The guy’s body was pushed back helplessly.
“Frank!”
“Rae, rank!”
The twins, who had the same face and body type, called the bastard’s name and followed him.
Jun ignored the two people and looked calmly at the batterers who still remained near Harry with calm eyes.
At that dull gaze, the batterers took a step back without realizing it.
The guy who only flinched slightly turned his head towards Leon as if he wasn’t interested in him.
“Ah, haha. Hey, June. There’s some misunderstanding (pop!) Kuek!”
The fat pig-like guy broke into a cold sweat and made an excuse.
The guy’s breath was so bad that Jun gave him a question and answer tool before he could finish his sentence.
The guy was drooling with joy.
“Are you out of your mind? “How dare you hit the village chief’s son?”
“You’re fucked, you orphan!”
The beggars next to the fat man shouted as if to threaten him.
Even so, it didn’t feel threatening at all as the center of the body was turned backwards, like a scared dog.
“Por, please take care of Harry.”
“Okay.”
Fortuna flapped her fairy wings and headed towards Harry.
The colorful powder scattered behind her flew towards Jun and was absorbed.
Jun felt the strength of his entire body increasing.
They say don’t worry too much.
‘I’m the only one who cares about those guys’
“Fuck! Why are you just watching! Hurry up and attack!”
“There’s no way I can win!”
Jun, who easily dodged the tackle of Julgeoji 1, punched the guy in the face and then tilted his head to avoid the attack of Julgeoji 2.
Then, he lowered his posture and used the recoil to land an uppercut on the chin of Djulgeoji 2.
The two of them retired in an instant.
“Does this make sense?”
The fat man stuttered as if he couldn’t believe it.
Jun answered the guy’s words in a pitchless voice.
“It’s slow. “You guys.”
June had been active ever since she found Harry.
In a world that has slowed down, the movements of those who have not yet reached full adulthood were too slow.
Moreover, his semi-supernatural spatial specialization covered his blind spots and accurately measured the distance between himself and the beggars.
Thanks to this, Jun was able to move concisely, accurately, and along the optimal path.
Attacks from guys who only knew how to swing their hands and feet with all their might without any skills could never reach Jun.
“Why did you touch Harry?”
June asked Frank, the bastard.
Then Frank, who was glaring at him with bloodshot eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and became angry.
“Haha. Why? Is it so strange that I touched that guy? Since we are from a Korean family, and he is a fellow orphan, do you want to say that I shouldn’t have touched him?”
“No, my head is not that much of a flower garden. As proof, I have never once thought of you as my older brother.”
Jun was sincere.
Frank, like June, is an orphan who stays at the church, and he is older than June, so Leonard told him to treat him as an older brother, but June always refused.
That’s right, Frank was a bastard that even the mutts in the church, or rather in Primuri Village, recognized.
He would often pick fights with anyone and bark viciously at anyone who did anything.
You don’t know how many times Leonard had to bow his head because of that.
He didn’t want to treat that guy like a superior simply because he was older.
It was even more so because of my inner age.
“That’s a bit of a shock. So what do you want to say?”
“You knew for sure that if you touched Harry, I would end up like this, so why did you touch me? “They just keep arguing over the same things.”
The guy had a lot of fights with Jun and Leon, and every time, Leon just dismissed him as his older brother, but Jun just tolerated it for a while and then when it got too serious, he attacked him.
Naturally, the relationship between the two became worse, and Frank started arguing with Jun whenever he saw him.
Well, since Jun carried his personal belongings around in subspace and spent a lot of time training outside, all he could do was pat his shoulders and talk behind his back.
“Gah, it’s a trivial dispute.”
“Yeah, it’s the same quarrel. And if you’re going to have an accident like this, shouldn’t you have done it a few months later? If that were the case, we would have been able to reach a conclusion without worrying about others.”
Although there were many fights, June and Frank actually had fist fights a few times.
If nothing else, it was because Leonard was strict about that.
So June looked forward to the day when Frank, now 15 years old, would have his coming-of-age ceremony and go to church a few months later.
At that time, Leonard will also be distressed, but he will not stop the fight.
However, a fist fight broke out due to this guy, and it was inevitable that he would fall under the iron fist of Leonard’s love.
‘If it happens anyway.’
Jun tightened his fists even more.
If you beat up the guy calmly, it will be less unfair if you get scolded later.
‘It will be more difficult to deal with it later, but… Well, the future me will take care of that.’
