chapter 244
244 – Permission – 5
After resting at the house in the picture, I headed to the room in the center of the ruins to catch Hu. However, Jin Ho-rang could not take his eyes off Kim Yo-han.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
The gaze was so blatant that even Jin Si-yeon eventually noticed it. When she approached and asked, Jin Ho-rang stared at her and then pulled her back.
“Do you like that guy?”
It’s a disaster. A face that turned red to the point of making a sound was the answer. She moved her lips and looked like she was going to say something, but in the end, she nodded without being able to say anything.
“…I see.”
I understand for sure. This is the face of a woman in love.
Is that why? Jin Ho-rang looked at his daughter in silence and shook his head.
‘honey. My daughter has grown so much.’
It reminded me of my long-lost wife.
He was a very gentle and kind person who did not suit a very blunt person like himself.
When he was around her, it felt like the icy part of him was melting.
That’s why Jin Si-yeon’s change is noticeable.
Even before entering the academy, Jin Si-yeon looked a lot like him.
Although he looked exactly like his wife, who was always kind and warm, his personality was so similar to his own that he was indifferent to worldly affairs and focused only on his own goals.
How could such a daughter change like this?
“i get it.”
“…I hope you don’t disturb me.”
Jin Ho-rang chuckled as his daughter spoke in a low tone as if she was asking. How can I interfere with this? However, as it is natural for a father to worry about his daughter’s future, he had no choice but to say something.
“Are you okay?”
“what?”
“That guy. It doesn’t seem like he’s the only one who likes you.”
Jin Si-yeon was speechless for a moment. But that only lasts for a moment. She grumbled softly as she played with the black moon.
“What do you think of me?”
“…..”
“I am the daughter of the head of the Jin family, Jin Ho-rang. But do you think I will be blocked just because there are that many obstacles?”
“You’re so confident. Are you planning on beating Elizabeth or Yoo Cho-ah to win Kim Yo-han?”
If that’s the case, we should support it. Anyway, the goal is to win the competition.
However, contrary to his thoughts, Jin Si-yeon only slowly shook her head.
“That’s not true. There’s no need to fight with those guys.”
“So? Are you saying you’re going to go in with a guy who’s got another woman?”
“What is it? Is there a problem?”
“That’s it…”
What are you lacking?
What is so regrettable about the daughter of Jinhorang of the world becoming a member of the harem?
Do you not know the position of the successor to the Jin family?
Countless words lingered in my mouth, but all that came out was a sigh.
“I know what you’re worried about, father. But you don’t have to worry that much.”
“…why?”
“That guy. The bowl is big enough to fit all of us.”
Are you seeing something you are not seeing?
Jin Ho-rang, who was staring at Jin Si-yeon, who was looking at Kim Yo-han with warm eyes, slowly fixed his gaze on him.
He certainly looked trustworthy as he walked ahead, told others what was needed for the next attack, and made tactical suggestions.
“Is that it?”
“I like him and he likes me. What more do you need than that?”
“He is the successor of the Jin family?”
“So you’re saying it can’t be done? Who decided that it’s impossible for the head of the Jin family to be embraced by someone else?”
“that…”
No one decided.
I just accepted it because of the position and size of the head of the Jin family, but I was never accepted by anyone.
“…Will that guy become a vessel that will embrace his true values?”
“I have the vessel to embrace Jinga. And Yohan just embraces me. I have no intention of entrusting him with such a task.”
Jin Si-yeon, who spoke clearly, walked forward and slowly turned her head.
“So, father, please watch. See how far we can go.”
She moved away in an instant and went to Kim Yo-han’s side and began to hear the information needed for the later attack. Nodding his head or expressing an opinion with a serious expression was clearly the image of a hero who was nothing short of admirable.
‘When did you grow up like that?’
A long time ago. I remember my wife toddling around when she was alive.
The back of that small, warm child, who was hugged while smiling warmly even at the blunt self, grew like that.
‘Ha… honey. ‘I miss you.’
I miss my wife very much today. Jin Ho-rang gently closed his eyes and shook his head.
After conquering the ruins, I thought about going to my wife’s grave.
.
.
.
Catching two fish was not easy at all.
Are S-class monsters called S-class for no reason? However, thanks to Kim Yo-han’s powerful buff, three S-class people, and people close to S-class, they were able to defeat two S-class monsters called Hoo at the same time.
“Is this how I have reached S rank?!”
“There’s a good chance. Would you like to try using the sword technique you used to catch Hu earlier?”
“yes!!”
Did he come to some kind of realization during the fight? Elizabeth’s skills improved considerably in an instant. As she performed the Taylor sword technique, Breath smiled in satisfaction.
Before we knew it, Elizabeth had perfectly mastered the Taylor sword technique. In other words, it has become the same level as yourself.
“That’s great.”
“Ohhohohohohoho!! It was something I had to do!”
“Then all you have to do is go to the association and take a test. But Jin Si-yeon, you…”
“Whoa…”
Jin Si-yeon’s skills also grew rapidly. She slowly inhaled and exhaled, swinging the black moon.
-Slap!
It’s just a simple cut. But the simplest is the strongest.
The cross section of the ruins fragment cut by the cut was shiny like glass.
“I realized the truth.”
True. An enlightenment that can be said to be the ultimate in Jinga Taoism. That clean cut that could cut through anything was more powerful than any of Jinga’s skills.
“If you can use charm leisurely, you too can be said to be S-class.”
“okay?”
She turned the black moon around and pushed it into the pot and smiled with satisfaction. Meanwhile, Hu’s body disappeared and Kim Yo-han, who was looking at what was left, shouted.
“Siyeon!!”
“Huh? Yeah!”
The confident thief who had appeared just moments ago disappeared at that shout.
There are just women who are suitable for their age and who love them.
Jin Ho-rang, who was watching his daughter quickly running to Kim Yo-han, let out a heavy breath.
I think it’s time to let my daughter go.
A dragon sword, a weapon said to have been used by Haemosu in the past.
Jin Si-yeon, who received a sword with a dragon-shaped handle and a tremendous effect of reducing the energy required when using all skills by half, walked to Jin Ho-rang.
“What.”
“This. My father’s.”
“…why?”
“My father said it before. He wanted to obtain the Dragon Blade.”
“….Ah. I see.”
It’s a memory from a long time ago. Jin Si-yeon, who was sitting on his lap and tapping his feet when he was with his wife, asked.
What is your father’s wish?
What did he say then? I just want my wife and daughter to live happily ever after. I thought so, but my wife’s gaze was too warm to say such a thing.
That’s why I deliberately hid my true feelings and said that I wanted to have a dragon sword. I remember Jin Si-yeon crying at that time.
Later in the evening, when my wife told me that Siyeon was asking for a birthday present for you, I laughed it off, but did I still remember that old incident?
“…Happy birthday, Dad. Even though it’s late.”
Is that why you told him you wanted it?
Jin Ho-rang was unable to say anything to his daughter, who was already remembering something that had happened more than ten years ago.
When the ruins were over and everyone was about to part ways, Jin Ho-rang called out Kim Yo-han.
“Did you call me?”
“If it’s okay, let’s have dinner together.”
“Yes? Yes. I understand.”
It was a sudden suggestion, but he nodded obediently. So everyone parted ways and Jin Ho-rang took only Kim Yo-han with him and headed to a Korean restaurant he knew well.
Jin Ho-rang, who did not even allow Jin Si-yeon to come and treated him alone, ordered drinks as soon as the meal was served.
“Would you like a drink?”
“I will drink it gratefully.”
Kneel down and receive the glass. And when you drink the cup you received, turn around.
Every little courtesy was noticed.
‘I want to find fault with him, but… he’s such an obnoxious guy.’
There is no room for criticism.
No, just one. It’s even more disgusting that there is no relationship other than with women.
But even so, it may be unavoidable.
Because my daughter wants it.
Because his daughter, who remembered what he wanted until now and made it happen, wants it.
“…What is your relationship with our daughter?”
He hesitated with an empty glass and asked Kim Yo-han, who poured alcohol into his glass.
He stiffened for a moment at that question, but it only lasted for a moment.
He quickly returned to normal and spoke calmly without avoiding Jin Ho-rang’s gaze.
“It’s a loving relationship.”
“Can that love be directed only to Siyeon? Then you will allow me to do anything.”
“That is not possible.”
Be firm. Jin Ho-rang felt a bitter taste in his mouth at the straight gaze that seemed not to be the slightest bit afraid even when he was in front of an S-class person.
“Then won’t our Siyeon be sad?”
“That won’t happen. I will never let Siyeon feel lonely or sad.”
“You seem confident.”
“yes.”
Like when giving instructions to everyone in the ruins, and when giving appropriate buffs.
Kim Yohan didn’t even hesitate at all. Seeing that confident look, Jin Ho-rang took a sip of his drink in silence.
One drink, two drinks, three drinks.
He drank strong soju without even eating a snack, and said bitterly as he accepted the slightly intoxicated feeling.
“Take him with you. Just remember one thing.”
“I will listen.”
“If you make my daughter cry, I will kill you.”
The last words were sincere. That’s why Kim Yohan smiled and answered sincerely.
“I will never do something like that.”
With that confidence, Jin Ho-rang slowly closed his eyes.
I remember that it is now time to let my daughter go.
