Chapter 942 – 942. Savior of the Academy
I set up a date with Kang Ji-young, who felt sorry for me over the Maruhan Academy assassin case. It was actually a dinner date, but I ended up going on a formal date after a moderate shove.
Of course, I know Kang Ji-young’s thoughts. She must be thinking that a date is just a talk, and it’s no different than dinner. She’s actually that’s right. Dinner or a date or something there.
‘Still, the feeling is different due to the difference in words.’
Appointment time is 3pm.
I arrived at her meeting place an hour in advance and was waiting for Kang Ji-young.
‘Kang Ji-young doesn’t see me as a man. She’s a student, and only sees her as her friend’s son.’
She said the age gap between her and me was an issue. About 20 years difference. Bridging that gap isn’t easy. But it wasn’t without hope.
“I thought she came out early…” She said. She made me wait.”
Kang Ji-young appeared at the appointed place. She stood out She is 180 cm tall and has silky dark brown hair. Her attire was casual. She wore a gray blouse and navy blue slacks. She fit well Well, basically, it would suit Kang Ji-young, who has a rather large height, chest, and butt, unless the clothes are quite ruined.
“You came 10 minutes early. Did you look forward to today’s date like that?”
Kang Ji-young laughed as if it was absurd.
“It is normal to arrive 10 minutes before the appointment time. When did you arrive?”
“2’o clock.”
“… You said you came an hour early? You?”
Jiyoung Kang looked at me with her suspicious eyes. It’s been years since she and I knew each other. Even if we don’t see each other often, we can understand each other’s personalities at least roughly.
“I was looking forward to this day that much.”
“… Don’t tell me in advance It’s a date anyway you want, but it’s nothing special. We’ll go around moderately, then we’ll have dinner and part ways.”
“Come on. You promised in advance. To break up at 10. Let’s have dinner and play.”
“Okay. The moment it hits 10pm, I will go back without looking back. It’s useless no matter what you say. Got it?”
“Okay. I won’t even use it. Instead, take your date seriously.”
“A promise is a promise, so take it seriously. What can I do?”
“Is this your first date?”
“This is the first time. Strangely, men didn’t approach me very well.”
Kang Ji-young said bluntly. I seemed to know why. Looking at her, her decent man is naturally overwhelmed. Innate charisma and a basically expressionless face. Above all, the strength of an S-class hero.
She is not a woman that any man can easily get over.
“I’ll call you by name during the date. Are you fine?”
“… Is there any need for that?”
Have.
Names between men and women are important. Especially between me and her. On a date, try calling your partner aunt. Will that set the mood for a date? Absolutely not. Rather, it will be the opposite and smash the subtle atmosphere of the date.
It’s not bad to feel immoral, but now she and I weren’t close enough to form a sense of immorality.
“It’s a date.”
“… I get it. What can I call you?”
“Call me brother.”
Haha.”
Jiyoung Kang laughed. And grabbed my head Her hands were full of strength.
“Quaaaaagh!”
It felt like her head would break.
“Stop it! It was a joke, a joke! Just call it whatever you want!”
“It was a boring joke.”
Kang Ji-young let go of her hand. Liberated from her, her head still throbbed.
“… Instead, I’ll call it whatever I want. My name is Jiyoung.”
“…… I’ll allow you until just 10 o’clock.”
Ji-Young Kang didn’t like her, but she soon agreed. Kang Ji-young is not cold-blooded. If possible, he will do as long as he doesn’t cross her line.
‘Once I put the first button on well with this….’
All that remains is to set the mood.
“By the way, Jiyoung-ah.”
I called Kang Ji-young. Kang Ji-young frowned at her and she glared at me, then she let out her expression with a sigh.
“…… It’s awkward.”
It was a strange face.
“Why are people not paying attention to you, Jiyoung?”
Jiyoung Kang clenched her fists. She doesn’t look alive or angry. Her hands and feet tingled at her awkwardness.
“… I have a known face Most people know that I am the president of Maruhan Academy. Let the fact that I go on a date with a student be known. It will be a problem in many ways. Especially your mother… Whoa. The thought alone is terrifying.”
Then Kang Ji-young threw a ring at me. She glanced at her hand and found the same ring as mine on the index finger of her right hand.
“Coupling?”
“It is a ring enchanted with cognitive decline. If our identity is known, it will be a headache, so wear it too.”
“How long does the effect last?”
“It was made in a hurry, so a day is the limit.”
So close. It didn’t seem possible to bring it to life.
Her ring was worn on the index finger of her right hand, just like hers. I felt all the eyes of the women who glanced at me as she passed by disappeared.
‘I feel more regretful after experiencing the effect.’
Before starting her date in earnest, I checked Kang Ji-young’s status window. It is to confirm her liking.
『Name: Kang Jiyoung
Strength: S+ Stamina: SS Agility: A+ Endurance: S+ Mana: A+
Attributes: Eye of Horus (SS), Earth Wolf (S)
Skills: Heavy Sword (S), Magic (A), Sixth Sense (S), Strength (A), Natural Recovery (S).
Affinity: 55』
Likeability 55.
Good night. A score of 50 or more is favorable. In other words, it is the level of feeling love feelings. Of course, it’s game standard anyway. Reality isn’t a game, so you can’t start dating just because you have a crush rating of over 50.
‘The fact that there is a possibility is important.’
•••
The date course I prepared was passable. It was in consideration of Kang Ji-young’s personality. Because of her personality, she won’t like dating places that are too unusual.
And there was no time. 3pm to 10pm. It was an insufficient amount of time to plan a decent date course.
“Two iced americanos.”
“…… Did you know I like iced americano?”
“I got a feeling seeing them eating iced Americano even in winter. How are you going to die?”
“Not to that extent. But… I’m used to cold food, so I can’t eat warm food well.”
She sat in a windowless corner of the cafe. The waitress brought coffee. She brought a piece of cake she didn’t even order.
“I’ve never ordered a cake before.”
Jiyoung Kang was politely ruined. The waitress smiled brightly without backing down.
“Right now, our store is holding an event for couples entering the store. We will give you a strawberry slice cake as a service and take a picture with a Polaroid camera.”
Jiyoung Kang narrowed her eyes.
“… There are strange events going on these days. We are fine.”
“Hey. Jiyoung. Aren’t you asking for my opinion? Lets do it. They said they would take a picture of the free cake, of course you should. There is nothing to lose.”
“There is no need to do that….”
“We are dating right now. Date.”
“… Ha. I get it.”
I made eye contact with the waitress.
An event where couples are given slices of cake and an impromptu photo is taken? No such event existed. This was all a plan concocted with the employees. There is a saying that money can work even ghosts, but people can do it better.
“Then please sit with each other.”
“… Do I have to? You can take a picture of it now.”
“They are a couple. I have to take pictures so that the memories remain.”
“…….”
We sat awkwardly next to each other. The waitress sighed.
“Here is the woman…. The expression on her face is so hard. Can you please smile a little?”
“… Can I do this?”
The corner of Kang Ji-young’s mouth, which was forced to draw an arc, trembled.
“It’s a little better, but it’s still weird. Put one arm around her male friend’s shoulder.”
“Like this?”
He grabbed Kang Ji-young by the shoulder and hugged him tightly. She put on a slightly surprised expression, but she didn’t push away, as if she noticed the waitress.
“It looks even better than before!”
Click! Click!
The waitress took pictures of her one after another. Jiyoung Kang and I each got a picture.
“Did it turn out well?”
“… It turned out well.”
Kang Ji-young, who was looking at her with strange eyes, took her picture while thinking. Even she wouldn’t tear up or throw away her picture in front of me.
“But it is. It’s not about grabbing a woman’s body carelessly.”
“No girl, we’re dating right now. Please understand that much.”
“…….”
Jiyoung Kang nodded her head.
Me and her continued our conversation while drinking coffee. At first, it was a rather boring topic of conversation. Such trivial conversations about restaurants in downtown academy and whatnot.
‘There is no internal conversation at the academy. It must be sensitive to the dean, Kang Ji-young.’
However, it was not good to continue only shallow conversations. Relationships deepen only when people have honest conversations.
However, since I can’t blindly ask her deep questions, I have to bring up a story about me. There are also suitable topics.
“Jiyoung. Do you know about my father?”
“If it’s your father…. Are you talking about Sung Ha-ri’s husband? Shouldn’t you ask Seongha-ri, not me?”
“Even if I ask my mother, she won’t give me a proper answer. I’m putting it off saying I’ll tell you everything later…. I tried to investigate separately, but nothing came out.”
Kang Ji-young pondered for a moment before she opened her mouth.
“I don’t know the details either. However, Seong Ha-ri until you were born. To be precise, she worked tirelessly until her stomach swelled. Her pride as an SS-class hero… Is not Looking back on her now, she was being chased by something.”
“… Did you work with a father who doesn’t know my face?”
“No. She worked alone. As far as I know, there was no man who was friendly with Seongha-ri. Seong Ha-ri said that working alone is comfortable.”
“… Hmm. Could it be that I was born from a night of playing with fire….”
“Sung Hari was sharp at that time. It was difficult for most people to approach. It’s hard to rule out that possibility, but it’s unlikely.”
“What the hell is my father’s identity? Can’t you tell me in a cool way?”
Unbeknownst to me, there was irritation in my voice. The secret of my birth that I did not know made me frustrated.
“…… When it comes to when Seong Ha-ri conceived you, an incident comes up.”
“Incident?”
“…… It is an informal case. Only a few in the government and Hero Association know about it. I also signed a contract to keep quiet about this case, so I can’t tell you the whole thing. At least you are Seongha-ri’s son, so I will tell you only a part of it.”
“What about your mother? What’s the case?”
“A large-scale dungeon occurred in Gaegyeong, and 50 heroes, including Seong Ha-ri, were dispatched. The death toll was 14 A-class heroes and 35 B-class heroes.”
“… 50 people. That means….”
“Right. All heroes except Sung Ha-ri are dead. Fortunately, the dungeon was cleared.”
“Is my father among the dead?”
“If you count the time you were born, yes.”
“…….”
I kept my mouth shut and pretended to be lost in thought. It would have been fine if the father was dead. Because he’s never going to come alive.
The important thing now is Kang Ji-young’s reaction. It has to be serious here.
“Sorry, but I don’t know exactly who your father is.”
“… Are you okay. I just thought for a moment about where my roots are.”
“Your roots are holy. The root of Seongha-ri is Jinryeongseong branch. The spirit eye you have is proof that the spirit sage’s talent was born from the lineage of a spirit chanter.”
“Thank you, Jiyoung. I feel a little bit at ease. Did you run a cafe too? Will it wake up soon?”
“…… I’m not used to that title.”
Jiyoung Kang and I left the cafe and walked down the street for a while.
Boaaaaang!
A sports car drives down the road at breakneck speed. It’s dangerous to look this way.
“Jiyoung!”
I grabbed Kang Ji-young’s arm as she was walking towards the road and pulled me into my arms. The sports car passed by in an instant. This is also according to my plan. I could feel her voluptuous body intact in her arms.
“… What is this?”
