Favorite disciple (7)
I opened my eyes wide.
The sound was loud, but it didn’t hurt. Still, she looked at Hong Seok-young in surprise.
Hong Seok-young clenched and unclenched his hands with a subtle expression.
“I’m sorry. “But I won’t apologize.”
What nonsense. You already apologized.
However, instead of pointing out Hong Seok-young’s nonsense, I nodded.
Just because this guy acted logically for a moment doesn’t mean he has become a logical person.
“… no. “I know I said something stupid.”
“no. “I’m not saying that.”
Hong Seok-young looked at me with a complicated face.
“You said I died there, right?”
Even if my mouth is torn apart, there is no way I can answer this question. Once is enough.
Hong Seok-young thought over his words to see if he was specifically expecting an answer from me.
“They all died.”
“… … .”
“It’s all ruined.”
Hong Seok-young chuckled. I thought this guy had finally turned around. okay. I lasted a long time.
“Then it looks like the monsters were successful in the end.”
“… … .”
“Thank you for telling me. “It must have been difficult to talk about.”
“… … yes?”
Hong Seok-young grabbed my shoulders with both hands and patted me. It felt different than when he playfully tapped me on the shoulder. It’s like appreciating your hard work after completing a difficult project.
It was a heavy hand.
But it was also warm enough to make me cry.
“It’s been a lot of hard work. “Now you can leave it to me and rest.”
“… … .”
I quietly looked at Hong Seok-young.
I think it’s time for the average person to be moved by this.
The problem is that the speaker is not an ordinary person.
what?
I couldn’t guess Hong Seok-young’s intention in saying those words, so I just stared at Hong Seok-young’s face.
My father is a bit extreme. Recall what he said about the children in the pilot school. In the end, think about how Park Seo-hyun and Oh Hyun-wook grew up. To put it in a good way, it means believing in the children’s abilities, but in a bad way, it means neglecting them.
Only later did my father admit it while talking to Lee Mi-seon.
‘I shouldn’t have become a teacher.’
Nevertheless, the reason my father pushed forward on that path to the end was because there was no one else but him who could do it.
After I found out, a lot of people were harmed… I overheard Lee Mi-sun talking to Yoo Ji-eun.
Will the moment come when Hong Seok-young can realize like his father? Even if that moment comes, it will be a long time later.
The current Hong Seok-young… The standard is yourself. He is a human being who thinks he can do as much as he can. Can’t do that? Then she will be treated like an idiot who can’t even use chopsticks properly.
Hong Seok-young, whom I heard about from Lee Mi-sun and other pilot high school graduates… Gee, I’m not the person to say it’s okay to take a break. Especially to her subordinates or successors.
Look at Yoo Ji-eun. My father never once told Yu Ji-eun to rest. Even though he told me to distribute my stamina well.
“Why are you looking at me with such a suspicious expression?”
Seokyoung Hong seemed very offended by my reaction.
“no… .”
I said hesitantly.
“The word Hunter should be most wary of is… .”
“Leave it to me?”
“I’m telling you to leave it to me… .”
“Did I even teach you that?”
Hong Seok-young opened his eyes round and looked so happy that he was obnoxious.
“… “Rather than saying I taught it, it’s something I always say.”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.” “Yes, that’s right.”
Hong Seok-young laughed for a while longer and then said. Even though he was laughing like that, his voice was serious.
“But this is sincere.”
“… … .”
“I’m not sure why I ended up taking you on as a disciple or successor, but there must be a reason.”
“that.”
“no. You don’t have to tell me. “Spoilers aren’t fun.”
spoiler… I can’t go. I cut that process out.
It was hard to say anything, so I just listened to what Hong Seok-young said.
“You said coming to the past wasn’t what you wanted? Then I can’t be greedy for you either. “To be honest, just talking to you for five minutes has given me more clues than I have in the past 10 years.”
“… … .”
“If you wish, I will allow you to live in peace with your brother without any involvement in my affairs.”
This guy has never behaved the way I expected.
“… yes?”
“hmm. of course… You can ask about the future. But I don’t want more than that. Was it difficult working at the pilot high school during this time? If you were my successor, wouldn’t you be a familiar face to everyone? Author… “I said the author was dead too.”

“… … .”
“It must have been hard to see dead people walking around.”
Hong Seok-young’s hand fell off his shoulder. Instead, Hong Seok-young hugged me tightly.
“So it’s okay to rest. “You don’t have to help me.”
“… What are you talking about? “I heard there are monsters from the future.”
“hmm.”
“If the monsters’ purpose is to kill the teacher and achieve their will… Don’t you need my help to stop that? We’re all going to die in 20 years?! Dungeons all over the world explode at the same time! “How could I do anything about it?”
“So that’s what I’m saying.”
Hong Seok-young hugged me tightly and laughed in a light tone.
“I am. Ever since I met that fairy in France twenty years ago, I have been dealing with monsters trying to kill me. “These guys came from the future to kill me.”
“… … .”
“Did I tell you that it was easy to take care of them? okay. I’ll be honest with you too. “Do you really think it was that easy?”
Hong Seok-young’s hands are full of strength. If I were a non-awakened person, I would have screamed long ago.
“It was really easy to catch the people who came from the future just to kill me?”
“… … .”
“In the future, I will be a great person. So, didn’t they turn their heads and attack me? So I couldn’t die. Because I have to survive in the near future and become a threat to monsters. “I thought that if I die, the last bastion will disappear.”
I don’t know what it’s a bulwark against, but my instincts tell me so.
Hong Seok-young added lightly.
Hong Seok-young’s voice was bright and cheerful, as if he was joking. But the force that holds me is not like that.
This guy. You hugged me because you wanted to hide your face from me.
I couldn’t laugh because it was the same thing I did to my mini-me. Did you learn this from your father? It would have been even weirder if he hadn’t recognized my movements.
“Am I doing a good job, and how long will I have to do this? what? A monster from the future is trying to kill me? “Who can I tell this to?”
“… “You know this hunter?”
“This hunter will ask you to provide evidence. I don’t have the confidence to bring such a monster alive and bring it to this hunter. “I can’t take this hunter to the dungeon I’m raiding.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know how long I can last, so I created a school to prepare myself. “I’m still at the level of crawling, let alone walking, but I think it’s better than nothing.”
Hong Seok-young’s voice gradually quieted down.
“Just when I was wondering if that was true, you showed up.”
“… Did you know right from the start?”
“Are you from the future? Of course I didn’t know. If the movements I made while teaching my kids didn’t resemble mine, I wouldn’t have noticed them, right? Even at that time, I didn’t realize it. “I guess my instincts figured it out.”
“… … .”
“okay. If it weren’t for you, all those people in Myeongdong would have died. is not it?”
“… … .”
“You’re right, seeing as you’re not answering.”
I clenched my fists.
“You changed the past. And even at this moment, things would not have happened in the time you know.”
I won’t be left behind for something like this to happen twice.
“Then I can change it too.”
“… “The past?”
“The future.”
Hong Seok-young spoke in a strong voice as if he would not be shaken by any storm.
“I will change the future you said you came from. “I have faith that I can change.”
“… … .”
Since the future can be changed, it could be said that Hong Seok-young cannot last another twenty years.
But neither I nor Hong Seok-young said anything about that possibility.
“You are hope to me. “Proof that I can at least last another 20 years and change the future.”
I relaxed my hands.
Did my father always enter the dungeon with these thoughts in mind?
While suffering from monsters said to have come from the future, was that why they built a pilot school and created a management office?
Was that what he was thinking behind his always confident smile and the skills and feats that backed up that confidence?
For the first time, I realized that my father was human.
I’m not saying my father was always a perfect person… Behind that cheerful part, there was a person who suffered from anxiety about the future and distrust of himself.
My father never told me that.
Because I’m not the person to say such depressing things to my son.
Would you have told me if I had stepped forward to follow in my father’s footsteps instead of Yoo Ji-eun? Did Yoo Ji-eun know this?
Why does Hong Seok-young trust me and tell me all this?
But I knew the answer. Because I was thinking the same thing.
It was difficult enough to cling to the vague connection of being a successor from the future.
“So don’t say that it would have been easier to die.”
“… yes. sorry.”
Perhaps, I am not just a son who is acting like a fool to his father, but like this… He may have wanted to be a trustworthy son who could openly talk about difficult times. So he went into the management office and helped his father.
I am this capable. I can help my father.
Because I want to say that.
It’s funny. It is only when something becomes impossible to achieve that I come to know my heart.
“You have done enough. So, you can leave it to me and rest.”
“… “If I fail.”
“Why do you say such depressing things! I’m Hong Seok-young. “There is no way you can fail.”
“I did it.”
“You can’t become a great hunter if you dwell on the past.”
“Strictly speaking, it is the future.”
“hmm… Should I try raising Jieun? “I guess that’s the name you mentioned after me.”
Are you trying to make Yoo Ji-eun your successor again?
I pushed Hong Seok-young.
“I won’t rest.”
“You shouldn’t make decisions that easily.”
“I won’t rest. “If I’m not there, you’re a half-penny who can’t do anything.”
“Half a penny…” .”
I gave up on being a son. It’s hard to say I’m his replacement, but I have to be his successor.
For the first time, he had the opportunity to talk with his father on an equal footing. Are you going to give up on this because I’m crazy?
“The Myeongdong incident has been gradually resolved, so opposition to the pilot high school has decreased. However, thanks to this, the establishment of the management office seems to have been very slow… . The same goes for related laws. I’ll have to check it out. It cannot be done if left to the teacher alone. first… .”
“Now, wait a minute. Things like this need to be decided after careful consideration! “If you make a hasty decision, you will end up regretting it later.”
“We’ve already done that a lot.”
“If you say that, I don’t have anything to say either!”
Hong Seok-young waved his hands in a panic. He was just like his father, scratching his head helplessly.
This person is not my father. Know. But he is also a father. I found out that too.
If it were my father, I would have scolded him to calm down, but I can’t do that to this person.
I suddenly extended my hand to Hong Seok-young.
“Please let me help you, sir.”
“… … .”
Hong Seok-young twitched his lips as if he was displeased with something, then sighed and took my hand. It was a gesture of defeat when I was stubborn.
“If you need some rest, just let me know.”
“Do you plan on giving me a raise in salary?”
“Wait until the grade reexamination results come out.”
“… Are salaries different for each grade?”
“of course. I’ll try searching for industry salaries later. “I just gave the average.”
“aha… ?”
Seokyoung Hong looked at my dumbfounded face and burst into laughter. I shrugged her shoulders and smiled along with Hong Seok-young.
