9. I’ll do anything to pay it back!

#9. Heroine’s Grace

“Well, I will do anything to pay it back!”

“… ?”

I went out for a walk with Cynthia….

Suddenly she lowered her head and shouted.

Then I could feel the eyes looking at the two of us from around us. With eyes like looking at someone strange.

What the f*ck. Why are you staring at me like that?

I’m not that kind of person.

“Hey. Lower your voice for a moment If you say it out loud, people around you will hear it. Let’s go somewhere quiet for now.”

I thought I should avoid this place for now.

The eyes around me were too stingy.

But… Cynthia seemed to take my words strangely.

“Joe, a quiet place? Still, I’m still mentally prepared….”

I suddenly felt dizzy, as if my head was spinning. Why is he suddenly doing this again?

I remember that I wasn’t originally a character like this….

Is it because the novel is for everyone? I don’t know.

“… It’s not like that, so just follow me.”

“Oh. Yes.”

I avoided the seat before the stares around me stung even more.

***

I decided to raise a heroine.

By the way.

There was one problem.

‘… She has to give something to raise this guy. Cynthia’s personality is not the kind of person who just wants to be accepted. She’s saying that, but she’s not in a position to reciprocate, so she probably won’t accept it at all.’

It is clear that Cynthia is Eun-won.

The problem arose here.

She had already put on a lifesaver from me once, and that she would not take any more silver.

Even if I buy a weapon, he refuses.

Even if I buy an elixir, he refuses.

Even if I introduced him to a hero teacher who would teach me his know-how, he refused.

The scene of her refusal was clearly drawn in front of her eyes.

‘… Eight sitpal. The plan is good, but I can’t think of a way to make it happen.’

“Mister. Your expression doesn’t look good… ? Are you sick?”

Cynthia spoke to her from the side.

I was walking along the promenade inside her center with her.

Neither of them had said anything since the previous conversation, and in the middle of an awkward silence, she addressed her.

“Ah. Nothing. I have something to think about. However… Are you more of an uncle?”

Do I look old enough to be called Mister?

No, honestly, it’s not that much, is it?

“Aren’t you a mister?”

“Of course not. I’m not that old You’re still in your 20s.”

“How old are you?”

“Twenty seven.”

“You are 9 years older than me. I was in elementary school when you were 20 years old.”

“… You shouldn’t think like that. So what about when you were in middle school? I was only 23 at the time? Don’t middle school students call college students Mister?”

“Have you been to the military?”

“No.”

“Ah.”

If you had been in the military, you were going to call me a man.

Actually, I went there in my previous life, but in my current life, I was exempted from military service as an orphan.

Anyway, it was true that I did not go to the military. Is that right? Because this body has never served in the army.

I didn’t know it when I only read the novel, but there was such an interesting corner.

“Then what should I call it?”

“That’s something for you to think about.”

“Then, I’ll call you Mister for a while. Still, it’s a bit too much to call him oppa, but I can’t think of any other title….”

“… Hey.”

That’s it. You should call it that if you want to call it that.

I heard that the shrine (scheduled) is like that.

‘Yes… I need to coax this guy out. I can tolerate being called Mister.’

I was thinking of raising one of the original characters properly… But there were no other candidates besides Cynthia.

But you can’t help but raise it.

Since the original work has been changed, there is no way to know when something will happen and it will be ruined. At least one of the original characters had to be raised to be reassured.

Heroine Cynthia.

She is one of the key characters in the future story, and all but her were the only characters I found difficult to approach.

First, the main character Lee Soo-hyuk.

This guy was a person who was well versed in being suspicious of others. He is always suspicious of others because he might not be the main character.

Besides, he has a personality that only wants to take advantage of others, so it was obvious that he would become annoyed if he got involved.

I liked him when I read novels, but when I meet him as a stranger, I don’t like him.

And other heroines.

Everyone had a background.

The background was so strong that it was questionable whether they would even take it second to the fact that they didn’t feel much gratitude to me even if I sponsored them.

But Cynthia was different.

From noble mtl dot com

There is no background, and she still has a long way to go before her growth potential explodes.

The hidden facts will be revealed later… Even then it was a long way off. I can help, but that is something that can be done to some extent only when trust is built up.

Besides, since the original work was also changed, Cynthia needed to become stronger in order to survive.

Atmospheric maturity.

If she doesn’t survive until that trait manifests, then no matter how great potential she has, she’s useless.

So I decided to pour my money into her.

Even the first half is safe. In the second half, I wiped out all the enemies by myself.

Then I can live the life I want again, right?

A very good plan.

hehehehe.

“Foot.”

Cynthia smiled at me.

Why?

“Ah, sorry. Her face is so funny.”

Yes… M: You can laugh because your face is funny.

The problem is that it’s my face.

“… Thank you for saving me. Now I can say goodbye properly.”

Cynthia went ahead and then she stopped right in front of me and she politely bowed to her waist and greeted me.

“Because I wasn’t in a good mood earlier, I couldn’t greet you properly. I’m a little nervous… The words didn’t come out well. And sorry for the weird words…. Still, it’s not an empty word to repay her favor! When I become a hero later, I will work hard to pay it back! Certainly! That, it will take a while!”

Cynthia expressed her sincerity in her own way.

I liked this side of Cynthia.

I fall short and fall behind others, but I am always right. If there is something wrong, fix it and try to make it right. That’s why I’m proud in any situation.

That was the character Cynthia.

“Something could be misunderstood. More than that, if you didn’t give first aid, I was in danger too. Thanks.”

“Ah… That, of course, was what I had to do. You saved me and that’s what happened. You can’t even swim, so why did you jump in?”

“Then why don’t you jump in? I thought of a way to save it, so I have to try to save it somehow.”

“hehehe. Yes. That was a strange question.”

Cynthia laughed, stroking her hair in an awkward way.

In this day and age, no one would risk their life to save someone they were seeing for the first time, so it made me wonder.

Ah. I guess that wasn’t the case in the past. Anyway.

“Rather than that, don’t worry about favors and repay them slowly. Don’t be burdened If a guy who isn’t even an adult pays attention to that, it’ll only hurt her head.”

“Please don’t treat me like a child.”

“Yes, yes.”

When I answered roughly, Cynthia’s expression changed slightly.

She almost laughed because she looked so strangely funny.

She looks like she can make her investment anyway she should somehow relieve her heart of the burden she has on this guy… Hmm… What to do?

‘If only we could meet regularly, I would try to raise them somehow… Is that possible?’

Handing out a bunch of money and saying I’ll support you?

Rather, the relationship could have ended there. Eunhye, I will pay you back later, but I will rarely meet you.

There is a great way to grow her without Cynthia noticing, even though she often meets her… I wish I could come up with something….

“By the way, do you have any concerns? You seemed to be thinking about something earlier.”

“There is, there is. But it’s something you have to think about on your own.”

Since I’m trying to raise you, I can’t ask Cynthia what to do.

It’s fortunate if it doesn’t hit the cheek.

“I don’t know if I can help, but if I talk to someone else, maybe something good might come to my mind?”

“Good idea….”

But as soon as she heard Cynthia’s words, she had a thought that passed through her mind like a comet. It was a very crazy idea.

‘This is it. This… It works. This just reminds me and. You’re lucky.’

I conveyed these good thoughts verbatim.

That I am weak.

That’s the idea of using it.

“Ah… I was worried because I was a bit weak. I don’t have any skills or magic. So I want to learn some martial arts or something… I have no one to learn from.”

Of course it was Gura.

Even if you give me money… No, there were plenty of people who would teach me things like martial arts or self-defense without paying, but I can’t tell them as they are.

“It would be nice if someone could teach me.”

The important thing was this.

I just want to learn martial arts.

Cynthia owes me.

So when Cynthia teaches me martial arts, it means we like each other.

I took advantage of this.

“Really? It’s a martial art….”

Ask.

Please ask.

Say you’ll teach me quickly!

Because I’ll grow you up!

“Then, how can I say it as a return for saving my life… Shall I teach you some self-defense? Ah… Of course, I don’t mean to go all out with this! I think I will pay back some, even a part!”

Asked.

***

“This is a data about Han Seong-jin.”

Kim Yu-ha’s attendant placed the research data on A4 paper on her desk.

It was a little thick.

Kim Yu-ha’s forehead furrowed at the thickness.

“… Is this all? I must have told you to shake it all off.”

“Sorry, but that’s all. No matter how much research I did, it was strange that no more information came out. As if someone intentionally erased the information….”

“Okay. Get out.”

“Yes.”

Kim Yu-ha looked at her materials about Han Seong-jin.

She went through her report and immediately threw it on the desk.

[ Han Seong-jin ]

Age: 27 (25)

No parents. Growing up in an orphanage.

Independent from nursery school after 17 years old. The aftermath is unclear.

Departed to the United States after the age of 20.

‘Is this the only proper information?’

It was only a simple personal information.

Kim Yu-ha thought that even if she went to the district office and inquired, she would come out better than this.

But she also meant that, on the other hand, she was covered in veils as much.

“Yes, her father even asked the director to treat her well, but she couldn’t be an ordinary person. This is rather reassuring. You’re not an insignificant person, are you?”

Kim Yu-ha smiled. She

She prefers this.

If she was a person who confided in the first place and easily came out with information, there was no way she didn’t know. She says that her father has an interest in her.

“I was really lucky with this one. I don’t know how far that luck will go….”

It was by chance that Kim Yu-ha found out about Han Seong-jin.

The center’s VVIP room.

She happened to overhear the director’s phone call in the car where she was on business.

‘I stopped by for work, but I didn’t know that the director was on the phone with my father at that time.’

Kim Yu-ha went to the hospital director of the center for work.

As she opened the door to the hospital director’s office and was about to enter, she heard him talking on the phone and waited outside for a while, and the conversation was heard in her ears.

Yes, I had to close the door, but because I heard her father’s voice, Kim Yu-ha secretly overheard her conversation.

That’s how she got to know Han Seong-jin.

‘Han Seong-jin….’

She took an interest in him and researched him, but the only proper information she received was ordinary information from when she was in Korea.

She didn’t want this information.

Kim Yu-ha looked at the information about his peculiarity written on the last page of her.

-[Special item 1] It is estimated that she has a lot of property whether she has done business in the United States.

-[Special item 2] Information tracking is not performed properly in the US and Korea. There is a trace that someone erased.

“As expected, something seemed to be there. Besides, seeing that the information was deleted, is there something going wrong? Okay. At this point, I’m curious. What kind of guy is Han Seong-jin?”

Kim Yu-ha deepened her doubts about Han Seong-jin.

What are you doing? What job did he have and how did his father get to know him and connect with him?

And how on earth did he become the kind of person his father asked for?

She wondered about that.

But.

One sentence in the last special note explained it all.

-[Special point 3] He is quite close with Kim Hoseok.

“Now, wait, Hoseok Kim? Why is this name… No way?”

Hoseok Kim. It’s his brother’s name He is also the youngest brother.

He is the wretch of the family, but he is also her father’s favorite son.

But everyone in the family knows. Hoseok Kim can’t sit in the seat of the head of household. Because of that, Kim Yu-ha also didn’t care what Kim Hoseok was doing.

But today, for the first time, I was worried about Kim Hoseok.

“… Because Hoseok is his friend? Ha! What a madman. Did this guy go to his father and whine about his friend’s injury? Did his father listen to that again?”

I wonder if this guy begged her father to save his friend? Is that why the father asked the director? Kim Yu-ha was curious about that.

And that doubt gradually turned into certainty.

“Has my father gone senile? I must be dumbfounded.”

I know there is something and there is a lot of money. There were so many people around her.

And to this extent, Han Seong-jin would not be able to catch her father’s eyes. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed right that she asked the director because she was Kim Ho-seok’s friend.

“I just wasted my time for nothing.”

Kim Yu-ha threw her report on Han Seong-jin into her trash can.

Then, she left her office.

.

.

.

.

.

An empty office.

A man carefully opened the door and entered Yuha Kim’s trash can.

He found the crumpled papers, put them in his bosom, and quietly disappeared.

After a while, the document was delivered to someone in the family.
