I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 109

Observer of Youth (4)

“Lee Seungyeon!”

– Well, I didn’t know at first, but no, I guess I shouldn’t have known. Still, still… .

Seungyeon Lee muttered something difficult to understand. Still, I get a rough idea of ​​what he’s trying to say.

“Seungyeon Lee.”

I lowered my voice and called Seungyeon Lee’s name.

At first, I couldn’t hear him and he was just gibbering, but when I called his name calmly a few more times, his speech gradually slowed down.

“Seungyeon Lee.”

-… … .

It finally became quiet.

Seungyeon Lee answered a little later. If I could at least see the person’s face, I would be able to know clearly what condition he is in, but that’s impossible over the phone.

-… greatness. Yes, teacher.

“Are you calm?”

-yes. sorry.

“No, you have nothing to be sorry about. Could you please explain what’s going on? “Are you being watched?”

… The moment I asked, I realized.

These guys. You finally noticed the presence of the sunglasses man who appears in every photo.

I was dumbfounded as to why I wasn’t aware of its existence, but it was better to just keep not knowing. It was natural that something annoying would happen if I found out.

The same person is in photos taken in different places?

And for several days?

Then I guess I thought I was being followed too.

Tae-kyung Han had been following them since the day after I contacted Seung-yeon Lee. It was from then on that she started being photographed. Of course, there were photos without Han Tae-kyung due to the angle, but she was always photographed at any angle that allowed her to be photographed.

Plus those stupid sunglasses. sunglasses!

If Seungyeon Lee has looked at her phone gallery even once, she has no choice but to know. The man who always appears in photos.

I asked Hong Seok-young and told him several times not to appear in the children’s photos, but he didn’t even pretend to listen, so he ended up doing it.

Hong Seok-young, who was talking to Han Tae-kyung on the phone, also grabbed his head as if he realized what I was saying.

Hong Seok-young also sighed every time he looked at the photo.

“… Seungyeon Lee. for a moment.”

I muted my voice so it wouldn’t be heard and then looked at Hong Seok-young.

“Can I tell you?”

Hong Seok-young answered while still holding his head.

“I have to tell you. “What should I do?”

“Yes?”

“Don’t be too surprised… Well said. If the kids seem okay, tell them to come back. “I’ll tell Taekyung to bring the kids.”

“I think the kids will be more surprised.”

“What would happen if Eunyoung said he was my brother?”

“… “I said he was Han Eun-young’s oppa.”

I waved my hand.

“Take off those damn sunglasses and tell the kids to go. No, I’m not going to go find the kids, I’ll tell them to go there. where… I tell them to go somewhere suitable. “A cafe or something.”

“I understand.”

Hong Seok-young made the same expression his father made every time he talked about Han Tae-kyung. The face of a strong hunter who is not prone to fatigue and who has been hit hard by life.

If an absolutely unacceptable accident had occurred, it would have been cut off a long time ago. Tae-kyung Han was not a person who, unfortunately or fortunately, had such accidents. It’s just that I had to take care of things after that person, so I suffered from a lot of annoying things.

Look. Team 1 went into the dungeon without a team leader, thanks to the team leader having his license suspended due to disciplinary action on a false day. Everyone thought so because they were hunters who had been under Han Tae-kyung for a long time. There was no other reason why new recruits were trained in Team 2 instead of being sent to Team 1.

I also suffered a lot because of Han Tae-kyung. It’s not just about disciplinary action, clearing up disturbing rumors about the management office, preparing for my father’s press conference, or anything like that… . Who do you think filled Han Tae-kyung’s vacancy? Every time Han Tae-kyung had his license suspended, I went into the dungeon. I didn’t join the management office to become a hunter… .

‘Heejae, I heard you’re going into the dungeon instead of me this time?’

‘… … .’

‘Oh my, straighten your face. Isn’t this all consideration from your uncle who is worried that your window will rust!’

‘… … .’

‘Please take care of our team!’

Can Han Tae-kyung’s mental head be repaired like Park Seo-hyun or Oh Hyun-wook? If I could drive even three words of responsibility into that head, there would be no time left.

However, Tae-kyung Han’s brain is not yet as soft as children. She’s already gotten older, so she can’t tear off her hair and fix it… Is there anything? Is there really no way?

I pressed the mute button and called Seungyeon Lee. Seungyeon Lee answered in a voice still full of anxiety.

“Seungyeon Lee. that… .”

How should I explain it?

No matter how I explain it, isn’t this situation too strange?

Since you immaturely ran away from home and went on trips, you hired a new teacher as your bodyguard, but he mindlessly shows up every time you take a picture and makes an appeal?

Even that thoughtless security guard is your classmate’s older brother?

That sounds like real bullshit.

-teacher?

But incredibly, it was true.

When I think of Han Tae-kyung’s sunglasses, I feel annoyed again. He should have spoken more strongly to Hong Seok-young. Do you think watching kids is a joke?

… No. If you look at it that way, I was also at fault for not asking the kids to come back quickly and offering to give them time in the first place.

shit.

I asked while pressing between my eyebrows.

“You’re being watched… .”

-There is a strange man in each photo!

“okay… .”

Let’s look at the good points.

How glad I am that this is Han Tae-kyung’s story.

Is there someone other than Tae-kyung Han here? That is a true horror that cannot be resolved.

“that… that person.”

Still, let’s make sure.

“You’re talking about the person wearing sunglasses, right?”

-How could the teacher do that? Because I sent a picture… You knew but didn’t tell me?!

Seungyeon Lee shouts in anger.

If you do it wrong, you may lose Seungyeon Lee’s trust. I don’t think our relationship is based on trust and affection, but I still think we have the same level of trust as a typical teacher and student.

It’s better to cry about not being able to become a hunter than to rebel by refusing to go to school… . is not it? Is it better to say I won’t become a hunter? Now that I think about it, wasn’t I originally contemplating with Lee Mi-sun to get Lee Seung-yeon to quit? Although I completely forgot about it because of the courtesy attack!

“Hmm. “It’s not like that.”

-sure?!

“Well, I’m not the person you think.”

-No?

Seungyeon Lee hesitated.

“Is Kang Tae-woo next to you?”

-… I’m putting it on speakerphone right now.

-Oh, hello, teacher.

Kang Tae-woo greeted in a slurred voice.

It’s better to just explain it all at once. And if Kang Tae-woo is listening, it’s much better to tell him honestly than to tell a clumsy lie. Even if Lee Seung-yeon makes a fuss, wouldn’t Kang Tae-woo be there to help her? He seems to have become quite close since we ran away from home together.

Sighing, I also switched to speakerphone.

It’s hard to see Hong Seok-young fidgeting. People who can hear effortlessly are polite in strange corners.

“Anyway, you guys… . “You never know what might happen.”

Seungyeon Lee doesn’t know about the ark. He won’t even know the reason for the attack. Hong Seok-young said that he had no intention of hiding it from the students, but before Hong Seok-young could explain, Seung-yeon Lee ran away from home.

His ability to act is not comparable to that of active hunters.

“This is a complicated situation… . “It’s difficult to explain.”

-Are you talking about the lab work where Taewoo was at?

Seungyeon Lee suddenly interrupted me.

“… what?”

How does he know that?

I looked at Hong Seok-young, wondering if he had told Seung-yeon Lee and not told me. That didn’t seem to be the case as she saw Hong Seok-young also looking at her phone with her eyes wide open.

Seungyeon Lee continued in a grumpy voice.

-Taewoo told me.

“… “Kang Tae-woo said that?”

-Well, I only talked about myself. I was number 3.

what? I thought we had become close friends, but were we close enough to talk about the lab? Since when?

What on earth happened between you two in Yeosu? Why have we suddenly become so close? Something happened to me too… !

I suppressed my curiosity and cleared my throat.

“… Huh. “If you had said it, I wouldn’t say anything.”

-So that’s why you got someone arrested? Aunt’s Hunter?

Seungyeon Lee’s voice is sharp. She’s an adolescent and may have secrets she doesn’t want her aunt to find out.

Even though I knew Seungyeon Lee couldn’t see my face, I shook my head out of habit.

“no. This is a hunter that the principal knows. “He’s also a new teacher.”

The area beyond the receiver became quiet.

Did you hear correctly?

I said it again.

“I am a teacher. “I’ll see you at school soon.”

In our experience, it is better to deliver shocking news all at once.

Let’s reveal the identity of the new teacher before the kids start to feel even worse about their new teacher.

“And it’s Han Eun-young’s older brother.”

Even though he’s my friend’s brother, I’m not going to kick him or bite him.

* * *

-… yes. Then, yes. therefore… . yes. I’ll go back… .

As expected, Lee Seung-yeon’s momentum was greatly reduced. Kang Tae-woo didn’t seem to think anything of it, but Lee Seung-yeon seemed very surprised to hear that her friend’s older brother, with whom she had taken classes last semester, was coming as a teacher.

Kang Tae-woo greeted Lee Seung-yeon on her behalf.

-If you leave a message telling me where you are, I will go there. I will take care of my brother too.

“okay. “I’ll see you when you come up.”

-yes.

The phone was disconnected.

“… … .”

Is this what happened?

Hong Seok-young also hung up the phone with Han Tae-kyung and showed me the map. It was a cafe that seemed to be roughly nearby.

After sending the cafe name to Seungyeon Lee…

I asked Hong Seok-young.

“What is that bastard?”

“Kuhum.”

Hong Seok-young cleared his throat noisily.

“Didn’t I tell you not to come out to take pictures of the kids?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I also told you clearly. You were there when I called. “I’ve said it many times!”

“… … .”

“greatness. Huh. It’s almost time for the kids to come back, so let’s think positively. Didn’t it work out well? “The kids also understood.”

“… … .”

“… … ”

“Is this what you meant when you said you had an annoying personality?”

“… … .”

Hong Seok-young quietly avoided my eyes.

“To be honest? “This is self-restraint.”

“This?”

“It only appeared in pictures. “I even pretended to hide so I wouldn’t be seen.”

“This?”

“You imitated someone passing by.”

“This?”

“… “I’ll tell them to take off their sunglasses indoors.”

I sighed loudly as if Hong Seok-young could hear.

okay. As Hong Seok-young said, the kids will come back calmly, so there is no problem. I haven’t even started working on Alex Hope or Ark Gun yet, but it’s much safer to keep them within reach rather than leaving them outside.

but.

“… “Lee Seung-yeon is coming back.”

“hmm?”

“Let Teacher Hong take responsibility and quit the demonstration high school. “You will know the reason without me having to tell you.”

“… … .”

There was an incident where Seungyeon Lee cried in the container classroom. It seemed like she didn’t want to be found out.

Even if the future Grand Wizard Park Seo-hyun is left out of the discussion since he is a wizard, if you watch Oh Hyun-wook, whose skills are rapidly improving even just by rolling on the dirt, you would have been able to know about his talent even if you didn’t like it.

It is cruel for an adult to force someone to give up their dreams. Just as Lee Mi-sun gave her niece time, I also hoped that Lee Seung-yeon would take some time away from the pilot high school to reconsider her choices.

… Even though Han Tae-kyung was interrupted, it would be nice if Lee Seung-yeon had enough time.

I hope you come back and don’t just say that your calling is a hunter.

Of course, I’m not saying that everything else is okay.
