I am not a returner Episode 377:
Sister (1)
“Then we’ll just go back.”
“Hmm. “I wanted to have a drink with Oh Jin’s younger brother, but it’s a shame.”
Two days after leaving the intensive care unit.
Sakaki, who hade to the airport to pick up Ojin and his group returning to Korea, ate his food with a sad expression on his face.
Ojin smiled slightly and held Sakaki’s hand.
“Anyway, won’t we have a chance to meet again next time?”
“Hahaha! “I will make time to go to Korea soon!”
Sakaki nodded, letting out his characteristic boisterousugh.
After saying hello to Oh Jin, he turned to Lee Woo-hyuk, who was heading to the Valha Guild’s private ne while being supported by Kim Seon-young.
“Woohyuk, you also had a hard time this time. The Kuroshi organization will never forget the favor it received from the Valha Guild.”
“It was hard… I couldn’t even hurt him properly.”
Lee Woo-hyuk gave a self-deprecating smile and a despondent expression.
The battle with Ancdus must have been quite a shock, as the de, which was sharp as a wild beast, had be dull as if its ws had been cut off.
Sakaki let out a livelyugh while patting Lee Woo-hyuk on the back.
“haha! “If that were the case, wouldn’t I have been hit and just flew away?”
“That…”
“The important thing is that you picked up the sword for the helpless. Even though it is close, it is definitely for people from other countries.”
It’s a misdiagnosis, and since we’ve met each other before, let’s say I cane help him.
In fact, in the case of Lee Woo-hyuk, he followed Oh Jin to Japan even though there was no need toe.
He did it alone because he couldn’t get his guild members involved.
“I am also the head of an organization. “I know how difficult your decision is to make.”
To save the helpless.
How many people can actually keep this statement, which seems obvious at first nce?
Basically, humans only move when their understanding and calctions are aligned.
When you see people sacrificing themselves and going to faraway countries to volunteer, they say they are amazing, but in reality, very few people even donate 1,000 won.
There was an instinctive reluctance to do things that required sacrifice without any benefit.
“But you did that.”
Whether Lee Woo-hyuk was active or not, I couldn’t help but admire his actions.
“….”
Lee Woo-hyuk’s eyes wavered.
He raised his head for a moment, looked up at the sky, and then spoke in a low voice.
“…I had an older brother.”
“brother?”
Sakaki blinked at the sudden change of topic.
“When my brother had just be an awakened person, I left him half-way behind because I wanted to focus on growing the guild.”
Lee Woo-hyuk continued speaking with a bitter expression.
“And my brother died. “I was kidnapped by the ck Star.”
Startle.
Oh Jin, who was quietly listening to Lee Woo-hyuk’s story, trembled.
“I thought a lot after my brother died. “If I had been a little more…a person who could look out for others, my brother would not have died.”
I swore in front of Lee Shin-hyuk’s grave.
I will never live like before again.
I will be a person who can hold up the sword for others.
“Hmm. “Is that why you came to Japan alone?”
“There was a reason why I wanted to repay the favor I received from Oh Jin, but that was the biggest reason.”
Lee Woo-hyuk smiled slightly and unclenched his fists.
I straightened my shrunken shoulders and straightened my back proudly.
“Thank you for your words. “Thanks to Mr. Sakaki, I feel like I remembered something I had forgotten.”
The ws of the wild beast that had been cut off began to grow again.
“Hahaha! “This isn’t just a handsome guy!”
Sakaki patted Lee Woo-hyuk on the back and burst intoughter.
“….”
Was it not only his own future that was changed by Lee Shin-hyuk’s death?
Ohjin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Then we’ll just leave.”
“haha! “Go back carefully!”
He lowered his head and turned towards Sakaki.
After saying goodbye to Sakaki, Ojin and his group returned to Korea on the Valha Guild’s private ne.
Lee Woo-hyuk asked as he and Oh Jin left Incheon International Airport.
“Where are you going, Oh Jin?”
“For now, I n to go home.”
“Shall we take you to the beach in our guild vehicle?”
“no. it’s okay.”
Anyway, all I had to do to go back was take the vehicle provided by the association.
Lee Woo-hyuk nodded and held out his hand to Oh Jin.
“Next time, I will be stronger so that I can help Mr. Ojin.”
“What if next time…?”
“Isn’t Ancdus the only ck star constetion?”
“….”
As Lee Woo-hyuk said, the total number of ck star constetions was seven.
‘Have we finally dealt with one of them?’
Ojin sighed deeply as he remembered a fact he had tried to forget.
It is unknown how many more ck Star constetions wille to Earth in the future, but since the Heavenly Demon directly intervened, I did not think that the situation would be easily resolved.
‘No, maybe.’
Not only Ancdus but other constetions may have alreadye to Earth.
The reason why Ancdus was able to find out that he had appeared was because the Kuroshi organization was lucky enough to discover the anomaly of the magic wave in advance.
“Okay then, I’ll see you next time.”
After saying hello to Lee Woo-hyuk, Oh Jin returned home with Ha-eun.
“hmm?”
When I arrived home, I saw an old man wearing a neat butler’s uniform standing in front of the front door.
It was Roberto, Isabe’s closest associate and the real second-inmand of the Colgrande family.
“uh? “What’s going on here with the installment n?”
“I was waiting for you two after hearing that you arrived in Korea.”
“Us?”
“yes.”
Roberto bent down with a neat movement that seemed straight out of a textbook, then took out a tablet from his bag and handed it to Ohjin.
The tablet’s screen turned on, and Isabe’s face with a very angry expression appeared on the screen.
-I heard the news, Mr. Oh Jin. I heard you fought against the ck Star Constetion?
Was the story of misdiagnosis spread through the association?
Isabe red at Ojin beyond the screen, her eyes shining fiercely.
-Why didn’t you contact me?
“Be was busy too. “The distance from Italy to Japan is too far.”
Since there is no gate to the sanctuary in Japan, I had no choice but to fly there myself.
No, even if there was a gate leading to the sanctuary, it would be difficult for Isabe, who has the stigmata of Leech, to use the sanctuary to travel between countries.
-Ah, no matter how much it is! A constetion of ck stars?! You should have at least contacted me!
Isabe screamed with bright eyes.
Her trembling lips and pale expression conveyed how much she was worried about him.
“…sorry.”
Oh Jin lowered his head as if he had no excuses.
Even if we had no choice but to rush to Japan due to the circumstances at the time, it was right to at least tell Isabe in advance.
-ha. Really… do you know how worried I was when I heard the news?
“There is no excuse.”
-anyway.
Isabe continued, ring at Ojin.
-I’ll be returning to Korea tomorrow, so you know that.
“Are you done with your work?”
-There is no need for you to worry about that, Mr. Ohjin.
“….”
It’s not over.
ha.
Ojin sighed and shook his head.
“I’m fine, so if there’s anything left to do,ter…”
-My work. I aming. You know, right?
Isabe smiles brightly and clearly emphasizes the two letters ‘tomorrow’.
Ojin was struck by the eerie thrill of a beautiful smile that took his breath away, and without even realizing it, he took a posture of alertness.
“I will pick you up at the airport tomorrow.”
-Ha… First of all, you must have just returned home, so get some rest.
Have you lost your temper yet?
Isabe sighed and told me to rest, with a smile as calm as ake on her lips.
-You won’t have time to rest tomorrow.
hmm.
I think I still need more time to let go of my anger.
-Oh, Oh Jin, you know you have toe alone, right?
“alone?”
I was nning on picking her up with Ha-eun, but whye alone?
When I looked at Isabe with questioning eyes, she smiled and continued speaking.
-yes. I booked a hotel near the airport.
hotel?
“Why the hotel…?”
-See you tomorrow, Mr. Ohjin.
Pop.
The video call has ended.
“I will let you know tomorrow when the youngdy will return home.”
Roberto bowed politely and put the tablet back into his bag.
Roberto, who was about to turn and leave, looked back at Ojin with pitiful eyes.
“Please… I hope you’re safe.”
“No, wait a minute.”
What is that look on your face as if you are looking at a death row inmate who is about to go to execution?
“Restfortably!”
“Wait a moment…!”
Without any time to stop, Roberto quickly walked away.
Oh Jin turned his head towards Ha Eun as if holding thest rope.
“Sister, let’s go to the airport with me tomorrow.”
“What should I do because I’m lonely? It’ll be hard to see your face for the next few days since we’re here.”
“no.”
Oh Jin red at Ha Eun with an expression full of betrayal.
Ha-eun smiled awkwardly and turned her head to avoid his gaze.
“what is it. “I don’t have the confidence to handle Be when she’s upset.”
It seemed wrong to expect Ha-eun’s help.
“ha.”
Oh Jin sighed and turned around in front of the front door.
“What is it? Are you really trying to stand out?”
“it’s crazy? “How are you going to take care of it?”
“So where are you going now?”
“Sanctuary.”
Originally, I had nned to rest well today and leave for the sanctuary tomorrow, but the n went awry.
“Are you going to see Vega?”
“Yeah, I’m going to go see if it’s okay. “I have something else to ask you.”
All three constetions who used the constetion’s blessing, including Vega, were unable to appear again due to restrictions of thew after being backsummoned to the sanctuary.
“Are you going to ask?”
Ha-eun tilted her head and looked at Oh-jin.
Oh Jin took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
The same paper that was given to Sakaki, depicting a man with hair as white as a snowy field.
“If you’re Vega, you might know about this guy, right?”
Why?
The words that Lee Woo-hyuk had said, ‘The constetion of the ck Star is not one,’ suddenly crossed my mind.
