12. The Kidnapped Girl and the Kidnapped Girl (3)

After Lee Jun-woo vacated the house.

Hare was lying still in the room.

“I thought you’d come soon. When are you coming…?”

Jump-

Hare got up from bed and checked his watch.

Only 10 minutes had passed.

“…Time goes by slowly.”

why don’t you go faster

Watch this bad boy!

Hare blamed the poor watch.

She was lonely and bored, so she left the room to appease it.

“I’ve never been to the study before…”

library.

There are a lot of strange books in this house.

A bookshelf and books that are so full that they fill a room.

Hare picked a book at random.

“Ummm, what do you read this for? Uh…um,”

I frowned and stared at the words in the book.

However, only my eyes hurt and I couldn’t read the words of the book at all.

Hare didn’t go to school, so he couldn’t even read basic letters.

“You must have read all of this… I want to read it too… Do you hate a child who can’t even read…?”

wrinkled.

Hare blamed himself for his incompetence, and shrugged his shoulders.

Seojae doesn’t suit me.

With that thought in mind, Hare left the study.

Then I checked the watch again.

“It’s only been 12 minutes. When are you coming…?”

Tick-tick-

Hare stared blankly at the moving clock.

The second hand was moving at a constant speed.

I inflated the ball to blow air through the watch, but it didn’t flow quickly.

I had no choice but to visit the house again.

Upstairs this time.

It was upstairs where the cheeky kid lived.

“There was another room next door… ”

Luna.

The name of the girl who trains every day with her uncle.

Even so, a cheeky child who complains and is not satisfied.

Hare stood at the door of Luna’s room.

There were various locks on the door.

“Your uncle really kidnapped you… He even imprisoned you…”

Even so, I still like Uncle.

It’s okay if the uncle is a criminal.

I’ve committed countless crimes, so it’s okay.

Hare put her ear to the door, wondering what Luna was doing while thinking about that.

“…”

-this person! Uncle Psycho! Why are you making food so well! annoying! You keep going in your mouth!

“He’s not a psycho. He’s a nice man. He’s talking strangely again…”

-Well? What is it, who is out there!?

Luna responds immediately to Hare’s presence.

I was startled by Luna’s voice, but Hare had no intention of backing down.

“Ah, man, you’re not a psycho.. Go, I have feelings..!”

-What is it, Hare-kun… than that what does that mean? Not being a psycho, having feelings. That man is a complete machine.

“Hey, it’s not a machine! As for what happened to me… ”

In order to assert Uncle’s innocence, Hare explained what had happened to Luna.

Buy matches and get help.

Get help from Ness.

Get help from Kyle.

Get help with grandma’s work.

To be honest, it was Hare who only had memories of being helped.

“You see! You are never a bad person!”

-… What, why would you be a sweet uncle to you?

“Sweet, are you…?”

– It means to treat you sweetly like someone you care about.

“… Important person.”

I am your precious person… ?

“Wow… ”

Hare’s head quickly began to turn into a flower garden.

To a fantastic flower garden that no one can invade.

It was Luna’s voice that poured cold water on Hare, who had been imagining with a happy smile.

– But, why is it like that to me? As soon as they arrive in the capital, they kidnap them, tie their legs so they can’t escape, and even train them very hard. Why are you being so harsh with me? isn’t it too much? no it’s too much! It’s really too much!

“That… I don’t know. What are you thinking about, Uncle?”

-Oh right. you were on my uncle’s side See, there’s no one on my side here! I’m so fat!

“loser… ”

past.

Hare, who was called “Jinta” in the neighborhood, was heartbroken at the words.

Even though he cursed uncle, there must be something lonely about that kid.

Good Hare made a small voice to Luna.

“… don’t be fat Well, I’ll talk to you. instead. If you curse at him, there will be no conversation.”

-Uh, really?! really?! Also! From the first time I saw him, he said he felt like my brother!

Luna shouting at God or something.

Through the door, Luna’s light footsteps could be heard.

‘Did I just say… ?’

Hare began to regret.

But my uncle told me to get along…

you should be fine

So, in front of the room where the hero was imprisoned.

The hero and the thief formed a subtle friendship.

***

After talking enough with Luna, Hare was excited and waiting for Lee Jun-woo in front of the clock.

The moment the hour hand of the watch points to 1.

kiik-

The door opened, and Lee Jun-woo came in.

Hare greeted them with a bright smile.

“Oh, you are here. mister..?”

“… okay.”

Lee Jun-woo answered without strength.

What happened?

Hare cautiously approached Jun-woo Lee.

The smell of alcohol stung his nostrils.

“… Have you been drinking?”

“little. I drank.”

“I don’t think I drank a little… ”

I think he was drunk similarly to the people who slept in the alley…

Hare supported Lee Jun-woo as much as possible with a small body.

Until I lay him down on the sofa in the living room.

dump-

“Sleep carefully so as not to float and fall! There’s a glass bottle floating around on the floor! You know?!”

“… ”

“mister… ?”

Junwoo didn’t answer.

Because he was already sleeping with his eyes closed.

After a conversation with Minerva, Jun-woo Lee came to the bar after drinking a lot of alcohol.

Hare looked at him with worried eyes and covered him with a blanket.

“Sleeping like this would be uncomfortable… Sleeping in a room would be more comfortable… ”

Why are you doing this when you have room to spare?

Ha-re stared at Lee Jun-woo sleeping.

mid 20’s?

second half appearance.

He has a beard covering his face, but he thinks he would look handsome if he cut it.

Hare murmured softly.

“It’s not the uncle, it’s the brother… ?”

i wish i was your brother

A little closer…

Ha-re looked at Lee Jun-woo’s face and checked the living room.

“… ”

Free-spirited trash.

I have to clean it up tomorrow

It’s going to be helpful for your uncle.

Hare clenched his fists.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the desk.

There was a small picture frame standing on the desk.

“Why is the frame here… ?”

Isn’t the frame originally hung on the wall?

Hare carefully lifted the frame.

In the photo, two men and three women were smiling harmoniously.

Among them was a young man.

In particular, he seemed to have a much better relationship with the woman next to him-

widely.

“Ah, uncle. you woke up… ?”

“Hare. go and sleep It’s bedtime.”

“… yes.”

Hearing the words of Lee Jun-woo, who suddenly woke up, Ha-re left the living room and headed for his room.

Lee Jun-woo’s expression looks sad for some reason.

‘Who was that woman? ‘

sigh.

It was Hare who was curious about his uncle’s past.

***

“Today’s training is over. Good work. Luna.”

“… ”

what the heck is he dead

The body did not respond.

I picked her up and laid her on the bed.

Even though she shouted that she didn’t like words, Luna, who unconditionally followed her in training, was admirable.

“You are doing well. Luna.”

“Coul… ”

I stroked the sleeping Luna’s hair and left her room.

As usual, Hare was watching the scene.

She puffed out her cheeks and murmured.

“… Not very different from me. Luna, you lied.”

“what?”

“Oh, no. Hehe.”

Hare laughed.

Not knowing what that meant, I stroked her hair.

‘It’s time for Hare to get an education… ‘

First, let’s do some testing.

“Hare.”

“Yes Yes..!!”

“I’ve been watching Luna’s training normally, do you want to do it too?”

“… !!”

At those words, Hare’s eyes lit up.

Were you waiting for training?

It seemed that Hare was saddened that Luna was training alone.

It was time for Hare to grow up too.

“Follow me, Hare. Today we will do a simple test.”

“Te, test. All right..! I will work hard..!”

The spirit is good.

I moved to Hare’s test space.

A space full of knowledge.

library.

For the time being, Hare was scheduled to be educated here.

“Seo, Seo Jae… ”

“Hare. Would you like to read this?”

“Uh, um… that’s… Now, wait a minute…! can read..”

“If you can’t read, you can tell me. I am not disappointed with this.”

“… I can’t read.”

“Not at all?”

“… Yes, not at all.”

crumpled.

Hare shrugged his shoulders as if depressed.

I straightened my shrugged shoulders again.

“It is natural that no one can do it at first. Gradually, you have to grow. Always, be confident.”

A thief must always be confident.

You must light the way, see through the traps, and make a decision for the party.

To do that, you need character and knowledge, and what Hare needed now was the basics.

‘To put it in a bad way, Hare doesn’t have the basics… ‘

Stop teaching the basics.

I took out a book from the bookshelf.

A book I received from Minerva when I was learning letters in another world.

It was a ‘basic word dictionary’.

“Hare. You will study this book with me starting today. Were you disappointed because it was a different training from Luna?”

“Oh, no. I just like being with you… ”

Hare lowered his head as if embarrassed and muttered.

Because she was lacking in human affection, it would be good for her to be with someone like me.

I stroked Hare’s head.

“Yeah, studying would be boring. First of all, please follow me. Would you be okay with that?”

“yes! it’s okay… ! that, but I heard that Luna’s training is for ‘reward’… Am I not there…?”

“… You call that a reward?”

compensation…

From Luna’s point of view, the reward is right.

I answered Hare’s question lightly.

“Then if you follow your studies well, I will reward you too. What do you think?”

“Joe, good..! Is this the reward I want?”

nod.

As he nodded, Hare’s eyes filled with enthusiasm.

Are the rewards that good?

I asked Hare.

“What kind of award do you want to work so hard for?”

“That, that… ”

Hare sighed.

After thinking for a while, he covered his face with a dictionary and answered in a crawling tone.

“Ah, I was going to ask you a question… ”

“… okay. I see.”

I’m a young child.

Curious age.

I understood Hare.

In the end, I decided to give her a prize by taking a test once a week and answering questions if I got 100 points.

And, the figure of Hare studying today…

“Hareya. Stop studying today-“

“Oh, I’ll give you ten more minutes! Belly, you have to get a hundred points!”

I didn’t think it was too much though.

It was great to see him studying on his own.
