Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 206
Episode 206
“What’s wrong?”
Is it because I was looking at it too closely? When Seong Ja-rim wondered, Seo-ra, surprised, shook her head and said it was nothing.
“You must be really tired. Let’s pick mulberries today! okay! I’m calling Kang Se-jun and telling him to buy me food! Coincidentally, there won’t be any major classes this afternoon. “Let’s call!”
“…Good idea.”
Seo Ra took her gaze away from Seong Ja-rim, who was calling Kang Se-jun with an excited face. While I was encouraging myself to stop thinking strange things, Seong Ja-rim, who had finished the phone call, informed me that Kang Se-jun would be arriving soon.
“But I have to go back before dinner. “I decided to go out to eat with my parents today.”
uh? Kang Sejun’s parents?
“No matter how I look at it, I really can’t believe that he is an only child. “It looks like he might have an older brother or a younger sister.”
“Uh uhh.”
I see Kang Se-jun was an only child.
“Before, my father said Kang Se-jun was our son, so I thought I was going to die laughing. I asked if there was a separate river in front of it and I was told that it was natural. “I was really upset that day when he asked if we were the Kang clan.”
Seong Ja-rim burst out laughing, saying he remembered that time again. If I hadn’t been so crazy about coming out of the library, I would have been kicked out.
“Oh, now that I’m thinking about it, if I meet you, I’ll make fun of you and call you Aji.”
I ran, flapping my arms like a bird, hoping that Seong Ja-rim would show up soon. He said it was nice to see his lively side, but sometimes he wished he would restrain himself a bit.
“….”
Seo-ra’s face, who had been following behind Seong Ja-rim, became blurred for a moment. I wanted to forget all the strange thoughts, but the unfamiliarity rose up in my heart again.
Was Sejun Kang originally in the same department as me?
* * *
However, regardless of the awkwardness that suddenly rose up, the day of playing with the two was very enjoyable.
First of all, the first thing I started at the arcade I went to after lunch to digest it was a gun game. It was a landslide victory for Seo-ra, who had always been particularly talented at gun games.
In the basketball game, Kang Se-jun won, and in the final punch game, Seong Ja-rim won by a landslide. Seong Ja-rim scoffed at Kang Se-jun, asking him if he was 100 points less than me because he became a man, and the two grabbed him by the collar.
The person who won the karaoke score bet was Kang Se-jun. When Seong Ja-rim complained that he couldn’t even sing, he called him A-ji with the surname Kang, and the two grabbed him by the collar again.
Watching the two of them and eating strawberry chocolate crepes topped with Nutella was extremely enjoyable.
Is it because we laughed and talked for a while? When I returned home, I felt much better. When I played with these two people, I didn’t even feel strange. Rather, it was a refreshing feeling, as if my wish had come true.
“I’m home.”
“Did you have a good time?”
Her mother, who was preparing dinner, welcomed Seo-ra.
“uh? “Wasn’t Dad on duty for dinner today?”
“All the men in my house are working overtime today.”
“Oh my.”
After expressing her condolences briefly to her father and brother, who were both crying, Seo-ra briefly washed up and came out to sit in front of the table. The smell of kimchi stew boiled with back ribs was amazing.
“Why did you come back from playing with Ja-rim and Se-jun without even eating dinner? “Jarim is not the type of person to do that.”
“Kang Se-jun said he had dinner plans with his parents, so I went in early. Seong Ja-rim forgot that he had an assignment, so he went to do it crying now.”
“I really like Jarim. I made another bowl of kimchi stew, so bring it home tomorrow. “That way, the child will be full.”
The mother was confident that she would be able to meet Seong Ja-rim’s meal size this time. Seo-ra peeked into the kitchen and nodded when she saw that the pot used to boil beef bones was filled with kimchi stew.
“Perfect.”
Seong Ja-rim, I will eat well tomorrow. I should also ask Kang Se-jun to come if he has nothing to do. Because he still doesn’t eat that much.
“right. Since neither my father nor my brother are here, let’s ask one question.”
“What?”
“How are you, manager?”
The meat I was eating fell into the bowl. Seo-ra blinked her eyes slowly.
Manager… Manager? Administrator? Who is that? uh? That’s strange. Who on earth is that that makes my heart hurt so much?
“…manager?”
“The system administrator. Actually, Mom was really surprised when you signed a contract with him. He was a person who looked at people like stones rolling around on the road. “It was only once that I got even a hint of attention from my mom.”
Suddenly I couldn’t breathe. Even though I was wearing a comfortable t-shirt, I felt like my neck was being constricted, so I pulled on the area around my neck. Mom continued speaking, as if she hadn’t noticed anything strange.
“But how surprised I was to see you caring so much. Was this person capable of something like that? “I felt surprised and fortunate.”
mom. I have no idea what mom is talking about.
Who the heck is the system administrator?
“I feel like warmth has appeared in his heart, which used to be full of pebbles and looked at people like stones.”
“….”
I didn’t know who the system administrator was or what my mom was talking about, but at that moment, my heart sank. The right hand holding the chopsticks was shaking.
“Mom made a bet with the manager. “You already heard it, right?”
bet.
I reflexively raised my head at those words. Her mother was smiling and looking at her. Although it was obvious that he was confused, there was no stopping the words flowing out.
“The manager doesn’t care what happens to the world. I don’t know why, but I hoped that my mother would at least not perish. So, ever since I found out about his existence, I hoped that he would change his mind.”
“…Mom, how did you find out about the manager?”
Seora, who had been moving her lips instinctively, covered her mouth in surprise. I don’t even know who the manager is, so why do I keep asking questions?
“It’s thanks to Mom’s Eucharist.”
But my mother answered casually and stretched out her hand to the side. A beautiful oval mirror appeared above my right hand.
“Mom’s covenant Eucharist is a mirror. It illuminates everything in the world. “My mom can see the world through a mirror, and then quite by chance, I found out that managers exist.”
Holy Eucharist Holy Eucharist. I don’t know what it is, so why does Mom explain it so naturally?
No, no, wait. …Do I really not know what the Eucharist is? It’s not. Sounds so familiar?
“But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get even a single glance from Him, and I realized that He wouldn’t care if the world were to end one day. So I tried. The world is still worth living in. “I wanted to tell you that it is sad that this beautiful world is falling apart.”
Mom smiled bitterly.
“…I was so distracted by it that I did a lot of reckless things. “I think you’ve been really mean to your father and aunt.”
“…What are you talking about?”
“Seo-ra.”
Mom held Seo-ra’s hand tightly. Tears welled up in the clear brown eyes that looked exactly like Jaeheon.
“I’m so sorry for leaving you behind. But it’s not because I don’t love you. It was because if the manager loves this world, this land we live in will be safe for you who live here. “Mommy has never forgotten you two.”
My breathing became increasingly difficult. Seo-ra’s tightly held hands began to tremble. Tears welled up and my heart felt heavy. I wanted to scream, asking what was so important about it.
Ah… for the first time, Seora didn’t think that all of this was unfamiliar or strange.
Everything felt comfortable, like I had finally found where I was supposed to be.
“Mom failed in the end, but you succeeded. “Mom and Dad don’t know how happy they are that you are happy with the manager.”
“….”
“The manager saved you from almost dying, and you brought warmth to the manager.”
Seo-ra couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. Both cheeks quickly became moist.
Everything came to mind. Almost dying in the werewolf’s dungeon, contracting with the administrator, making new friends, getting revenge, and now all the facts that he was fighting to meet the administrator.
It was natural that I kept feeling unfamiliar. Because this was not his world. Even if it was the perfect life she had dreamed of her whole life, it wasn’t her life in the end.
Because it is not perfect, we must return to a more precious world.
Because there is no manager here that she loves.
Seo-ra cried loudly and looked at her mother. There were tears in her eyes too.
“mom.”
“Yes, my daughter.”
“The manager said that. “Mom said she won the bet.”
And when Seo-ra said that, Hyun Jae-hee smiled brightly. So pretty, with sparkling tears, as if there were no more worries.
“thank god. “Oh, I feel so relieved now.”
“How on earth did you bet with the manager?”
“Before my mother died, I asked for an inheritance. “On the condition that if I win, you will keep my power for life, and if I lose, you will take it back.”
It was an unimaginable condition. If he hadn’t made a contract with the manager and couldn’t change his mind, Yoon Jae-heon would have almost gone back to being an unawakened person.
“The conditions for inheritance through the system are strict, so I had no choice but to make that bet. “I’m definitely not playing around with you guys, so don’t make weird faces.”
As if her thoughts were clearly visible on her face, Hyun Jae-hee grabbed Seo-ra’s cheek and pulled it straight.
“Anyway, Mom has no regrets anymore. “I really wanted to tell you this.”
What can I say as if I were a ghost about to attain Buddhahood? Seo-ra hurriedly grabbed her arm.
“I love you, Seora. “My daughter.”
And when those words came back, Seo-ra bit her lip.
“Your brother and I love you both very much.”
“…mom.”
“Mom and Dad left too early, but you guys are coming a little slower. “I’ll live until I turn into a curly old woman and break through walls with my cane!”
Why are you digging through the wall with a cane? If you correct it like that, you won’t die!
Instead of crying because of the absurdity, Seo-ra laughed and Hyeon-hee Hyeon-hee smiled brightly, saying it was really nice to see her.
“So, daughter. Wake up now. “The world can finally take a step toward peace, but we must not hesitate any longer.”
“…huh.”
Seo-ra stood up from her seat. The world was becoming increasingly white. Seo-ra, who could not let go of her mother’s hand until the very end, suddenly saw the disappearing table and added a word.
“Mom’s kimchi stew was still delicious.”
The kimchi stew I finally had again after 13 years tasted the same as before. I don’t know if I will remember this taste when I wake up, but I hope it remains.
Mom smiled tearfully and disappeared completely.
Now was the time to wake up.
