Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

39. Three-way face-to-face

#39. Three-way face-to-face

‘… What’s the situation?’

Confused. How did it happen?

Cynthia shook her head and tried to wake her up.

Dinner on the first day of midterm exams.

Cynthia successfully completed her notes and her first practical exercise. She and she guided Han Seong-jin inside her academy.

She still has 2 practical exams left, but she planned to go to training after guiding for a while.

But… She was forced to revise the plan inevitably.

“It is called Cheonmubong.”

“City, this is Cynthia.”

“You look nervous. Heh heh.”

“… Ha.”

There were three people in a cafe on Academy Street.

The shop was chartered for a day, and they were the only customers.

Mu-bong Cheon, Cynthia, Seong-jin Han.

“But… What happened to me… ?”

While Cynthia was guiding Han Seong-jin through her academy, she bumped into him.

She was going to greet Cheon Mu-bong as a courtesy and pass by. Although she is said to be a great person, there is no reason to bend over too much, and it was important to guide Han Seong-jin now.

But… Suddenly, Mu-bong Cheon suggested that I come to this cafe with Seong-jin Han. I don’t know why….

Why did you suggest that you have a cup of tea at a cafe? Cynthia continued to question him.

Then she asked.

Cheon Mu-bong answered her question.

“I wanted to have a conversation with him because he is so talented. Was the old man a little rude?”

Cynthia was told she was being rude and she shook her head excessively.

“No! Rather, it is an honor!”

“Unlike the kids these days, he’s bright and energetic.”

“Thank you!”

“Haa….”

While Mubong Cheon and Cynthia were talking, there was one person who was sighing.

It was Han Seong-jin.

“Why are you sighing again? Like a guy who bought the whole world. You’ve been having that problem ever since. Tell me What do you not like? You just don’t like this place?”

“… No, I told you last time. Because it’s not like that.”

“If it’s not like that, what is it? Besides, he took the bow I gave him and took it… Don’t you know how hard it is to find?”

“I know. It’s made from a sacred tree, and it’s a weapon that grows with the owner because of blessings. Checked everything. I am grateful for what you have given me and I have delivered it.”

“Anyone who knows that? Don’t you like having a cup of tea that much?”

Han Seong-jin and Cheon Moo-bong exchanged words, and their voices grew higher and higher.

Cynthia felt a sense of danger when she saw the two of them.

‘… It was a relationship the two knew! But when it comes to bows, are you referring to the bow that the uncle gave me?’

Cynthia recalled the bow she received the other day before she entered the gate.

She thought it was just a slightly expensive bow, but the material is a sacred tree? And there was even a blessing… ? Cynthia suddenly wondered if the bow she stored in one corner of the dormitory was doing well.

‘But… The two of them seem to be on good terms, but they seem to be bad. Why? Umm… I don’t know. Let’s stop it before it gets louder!’

Cynthia wanted to ask Illien for her advice, but she was currently sleeping. Cynthia stood up slowly and she stood between them.

“Tea, tea tastes so good! Why don’t you two try it before it gets cold?”

From noble mtl dot com

“… Great.”

“… ….”

As soon as Cynthia came out, the two immediately turned their heads and cleared their throats.

Then Han Seong-jin looked at Cynthia first and said.

“I’m sorry Shiaya. I should have told you… The bow I gave you last time. It was given to me by Hero Cheon Mu-bong next to me.”

“Really?”

“Oh. It’s a good bow, so use it well.”

“Ah, yes!”

‘Hero Mu-bong Cheon will freeze to death….’

Cheon Mu-bong clicked her tongue in front of Cynthia, seeing Han Seong-jin deliberately using a title that seemed distant to him.

‘Ugly bastard. It sucks even if you try to connect. He’s close to 30 years old and has never been in a relationship, so hehehe… Tsk tsk.’

He cursed at Han Seong-jin on the inside, but spoke to Cynthia with a benevolent smile on the outside.

“Actually, Seongjin is like my son.”

“Looking at the difference in age, isn’t it a son and not a grandson?”

“That’s what it says… Why are you throwing up on words like this today? I’m fine these days.”

[“Anyway, don’t stop talking. If you don’t want to be beaten like before.” ]

“… Yes.”

The last words reached Han Seong-jin’s ears. He spoke so that the sound could only be transmitted to him through magic.

Han Seong-jin immediately lowered his tail at that bloody warning. He couldn’t be beaten like a dog in front of Cynthia.

I don’t know if it’s Gura or not, but as long as there’s a possibility, lowering the tail was the right thing to do.

“Anyway… I’m not interested in this guy unless it’s work, but I’ve been interested in it since he said he met someone often hahahaha. Just in case.”

“Yes? That maybe… ?”

Cynthia asked, tilting her head.

“Since you are old enough, I wonder if you should find a wife soon.”

“Ah… !”

Cynthia nodded her head, understanding Chen Mu-feng’s words.

It felt like all the puzzles were finally put together.

‘You misunderstood me as someone I often met and dated!’

And a new question arose.

“… Well, then, why didn’t you come to the academy?”

“That’s right. I came to see the bride’s face. Heh heh heh.”

“…… !”

Cynthia’s face heated up. She

She misunderstood the relationship, she thought… When she heard it in her own mouth, she was somehow ashamed.

Are you a bride?

‘Uh… eww…. It’s not that I hate it… It’s strangely embarrassing.’

She bowed her head and she said nothing.

She said that someday she would fall in love and get married, but she never expected to hear a direct story about it.

“Did the old man misunderstand?”

“Uh, how did that happen….”

Cynthia herself likes Han Seong-jin… She didn’t know whether Han Seong-jin liked her or not.

Isn’t love supposed to be something that can only be done when hearts can communicate with each other? In that respect, Cynthia and Han Seong-jin did not communicate with her. She

She said so she couldn’t say anything, she didn’t know enough and she tried to answer… Her words twisted.

Her true intentions came out.

“Oh, that’s right!”

“………… ?”

As countless question marks floated above Han Seong-jin’s head, Mu-bong Cheon gave her a big smile and clapped her hands.

“Isn’t it? I knew it! There’s a bit of an age difference, but it’s about right… ! Hmm… I haven’t come of age yet, so it’s too early to get married. More than that, since I’m an academy cadet, my goal is to become a hero, so I’ll use my strength! Elixir or whatever… !”

Mu-bong Cheon thought he should release some of his treasures.

He had many rare items that could not be obtained simply by having a lot of money.

Even if it was a little wasteful to give it to Han Seong-jin, it was not a waste at all to give it to the daughter-in-law.

‘… ! I guess I’ll have to keep my mouth shut for a bit. Misunderstandings can be cleared up later. I have to eat and close my mouth. He said he would take care of elixirs and other items that are hard to find even for me!’

And Han Seong-jin also tried to say that it was not that kind of relationship when Mu-bong Cheon said he would unpack the bundle of treasures, but just quietly kept his mouth shut.

Instead, I spoke very quietly to Cynthia.

“… Shiaya.”

“Yes, four?”

“Let’s talk separately later.”

“… Yes.”

Mu-bong Cheon looked at Cynthia and said.

“Oh, really… So, don’t be afraid to talk now. Feel free to call me too.”

“Yes, Father!”

Cynthia felt that her earlier mistake had turned into an opportunity. All of this was because Han Seong-jin did not refute his words.

And this was an opportunity.

A chance to make him like you!

-Make a relationship first! Becoming a lover or getting married! It’s enough to build affection after that!

This is the advice Illien gave me the other day. It’s also Illien!

***

“But… Did you think about Lee Soo-hyuk?”

I don’t know why Cynthia is doing this all of a sudden… I decided to ask that later, so I first asked Cheon Mu-bong about Lee Soo-hyeok.

A large number of runaway monsters appeared during the test, and it was about continuing the test without stopping.

Because if handled incorrectly, Cheonmu-bong could be damaged. He was a benefactor like Miu or Gou, and a nobleman who thought like a father. It was right to help prevent this from happening.

“What’s the problem?”

“No, I thought it would have been better to just retake the test. It’s not something to meddle with. If you have any problems, please let me know and I have told you to take care of it.”

“There is a justification, but why? If you take a re-exam, why aren’t the parents re-examing only that guy in school these days? There is a reason in that respect. It’s a serious situation, and it’s just the cause of saying that it only gives benefits to excellent cadets. Used it as an excuse You don’t have to worry about any of the problems you’re talking about.”

“… Yes.”

Han Seong-jin thought that even though he had been retired for a long time, Mu-bong Cheon was a top-notch hero. No matter where he goes, the highest position must be climbed with his brain.

Anyway.

Besides this problem, there was another problem.

“You know that Xia has an exam tomorrow too, right?”

“I heard that. Why?”

“It took a lot of time… Why don’t you go after a couple of maps?”

“… Map sparring, that’s good.”

At Han Seong-jin’s opinion, Mu-bong Cheon nodded.

“How is it? Even though he’s a former hero… There won’t be many opportunities to fight against top-notch heroes. Would you like to try it?”

“Yes!”

Cynthia nodded her head vigorously.

The match between her father-in-law and her daughter-in-law was concluded.

‘… Let’s see Shiaya after the exam.’

I was going to ask all of them after the test whether they were playing a joke on me or not.

For now, I’ll have to watch the two of them sparring.
