I Obtained a Mythic Item - Chapter 129

Episode 129 Short Break (2)

“…What is it? Why is he so good at singing?”

A choked voice escaped Jaehyun’s mouth.

Seo Eana’s song was truly shocking.

The soft voice resonated and overpowered the atmosphere, and the treble rose smoothly without clogging.

Jaehyun was stunned and stared blankly at him.

Colleagues’ reactions were the same.

“What?! Why are you so good at singing?! Are you a singer?”

“I thought you had cherished that voice until now…”

Kim Yoo-jung was surprised, and Ahn Ho-yeon clenched her fists in exasperation.

Jaesang Lee was clapping his hands and nodding his head.

‘I’m usually introverted so I didn’t expect it at all, so why are you so good at singing?’

Jaehyun couldn’t help but tilt his head as he continued to listen to Seo Eana’s song, mesmerized. I couldn’t come up with such pitch and tempo control unless I learned it elsewhere.

After a while. After the song was over, Jaehyun approached Eana and asked.

“Where did you learn to sing?”

“……huh? no.”

“But he sings so well?! crazy. Is this a talent…….”

Kim Yoo-jung interrupted and shook her head as if she was shocked.

After thinking about it for a while, Seo Ina asked again.

“……Am I good at it?”

“of course!”

This time, everyone in the party except Lee Jae-sang answered at the same time.

Seo Eana returned to her seat with a slight blush on her face, and Kim Yoo-jung and Ahn Ho-yeon started making reservations asking her to sing their favorite song.

Seo Ina smiled lightly and wiggled her hand holding the microphone.

“……thank you. It’s the second time I’ve played my song for someone else.”

Jaehyun smiled for a moment as he saw Seo Ina saying that.

It was such a peaceful time.

* * *

Seoul in a few days. reenactment house.

“……therefore. You have to work as carefully as possible. got it?”

“all right. I think I’ve heard that sound 20 times now.”

Jaehyun was sitting on the sofa watching TV, complaining about Lee Seonhwa’s nagging.

Miles is out of operation for two weeks, so he is returning home and resting.

‘It’s not the right time to be like this.’

Jaehyun let out a small sigh, but did not take his eyes off the TV variety show.

Then, unexpectedly, he handed Lee Seon-hwa what he had brought. It was in a small pouch, but I couldn’t see what was inside, so I couldn’t immediately figure out what it was.

“This is a gift.”

Lee Seon-hwa tilted her head at her son’s calm words and accepted the pouch.

‘Why does Jaehyun give me all the presents?’

He was a son who was usually nice but rarely showed affection.

But why is he giving himself gifts like this?

I heard that the weight was light.

Lee Seon-hwa moved her hand and pulled the zipper on the pouch.

After a while. Seonhwa Lee’s pupils constricted and a small voice came out.

“This is… a bankbook?”

“yes. I am earning money now. What is your pocket money?”

At Jaehyun’s words, Seonhwa Lee looked at her son with widened eyes.

‘When did they grow up like this and already give me pocket money?’

I was happy, but my heart ached inside.

A normal person my age would still be enjoying their school days to the fullest.

Even if I had money, I would be busy hanging out with my friends.

‘……Jaehyun was always like this.’

My son has always been like this.

He cares for and cares for the people around him whom he believes in more than himself.

He may look cynical to those who don’t believe because he hits the iron wall, but he blindly sacrifices himself even if he loses to his own people.

Lee Seon-hwa looked at Jae-hyun with pity for a moment and then opened her bank account. The cover was carefully peeled off. As she checked the interior, her hands began to tremble.

“Jae Jae Jae! This… is that money you really earned on your own?!”

Seonhwa Lee shouted in astonishment.

The amount stamped on the bankbook that Jaehyun handed over was well over 1 billion, no matter how small it looked.

Jaehyun nodded slightly.

“Use all of them as you wish, Mom.”

A word spoken bluntly.

Why do you say that?

An unfamiliar feeling rushed through my heart.

It was something I wanted to say so long ago.

son succeeded. I wanted to give my mother a hug.

but he’s a bad boy Despite endlessly rolling over on the front line, he was unable to take care of his mother.

But not anymore.

Reproduction is after regression. Until now, we have constantly changed the present and have reached this point.

All that’s left now is to protect your family and friends. and.

‘The only thing I can do is kill Odin and put an end to all tragedies.’

Odin will invade Midgard at any time.

Also, Jaehyun had no intention of taking away the life he had regained.

“Now don’t worry about money and live comfortably.”

After saying that, Jaehyun stood up from his seat with an embarrassed face.

Seonhwa Lee hugged her son tightly.

said the mother

“It was very difficult.”

Jaehyun pondered for a long time on how to respond to his mother’s words.

before regression. He always told the same lie to this question.

no it’s not hard

In fact, mother, you would have known best.

Jaehyun’s words are lies.

But even so, he had no choice but to say it.

because. This time I decided to give a slightly different answer.

“It was hard.”

“……know. Mom is everything.”

Lee Seon-hwa patted his son on the back and said so.

Tears welled up for no reason, but I lifted my head up and closed my eyes, trying to swallow them.

like that.

The moment when the house almost turned into a sea of tears. A doorbell sounded.

Ding-dong-.

Jaehyun hurriedly got up from his seat after wiping the tears that could not flow with his sleeve.

Because he was wearing a gray hoodie, the ends of his sleeves were a bit dark.

“I’ll go out and see.”

Jaehyun quickly opened the door to the front door.

OK.

“uh?”

A familiar face caught my eye. While Jaehyun was parents, the woman in front of him greeted him.

“……hi.”

One fact was clearly engraved in Jaehyun’s mind.

How does he know our house?

The person standing in front of the door was none other than Seo Ina.

Jaehyun immediately realized who was doing this.

“Don’t hide behind, come out?”

“no way. What did you hear?”

With Jaehyun’s words, Kim Yoo-jung, who had been hiding behind Seo In-na, appeared.

Jaehyun let out a small sigh.

“so. What happened again this time?”

“Ah~ we’re having a meat party at my house today. I want you to come too.”

“right. Was your parents coming to Korea today?”

Jaehyun nodded as if he remembered. Kim Yoo-jung affirmed.

“ok. My mom always called me and asked me to come because she always took care of me.”

After thinking for a moment, Jaehyun nodded.

“Well, you usually take care of yourself a little bit. Do some reflection.”

“what. You owe it to your old lady. When did I owe you?”

‘It’s already that time.’

Jaehyun was quiet in his thoughts while arguing.

end of April already. It has been two months since I entered Milles Academy.

‘A lot of things have happened in the meantime.’

After Jaehyun pondered for a while, Kim Yoojung calmly said.

“hey. When will you come? My mom and dad also liked seeing you after a long time.”

‘Well… today is the day I decided to rest.’

“okay. I’ll go.”

“okay. Then wash up later and come to my house. at six in the evening.”

Jaehyun nodded. Six o’clock was still plenty of time.

You can rest a little more, take a nap in moderation, and wake up.

“okay. See you later.”

The moment Jaehyun was about to close the door after exchanging light greetings.

Seo Ina paused for a moment before asking.

“……Jaehyun. Have you ever… cried?”

Looking closely, Seo In-na’s eyes were on Jae-hyun’s wet sleeve.

“uh?”

Jaehyun quickly covered his sleeve as if embarrassed.

“no. I was just helping mom wash the dishes.”

“……I see.”

silence for a while. Jaehyun said as he put his hands in his pockets.

“Is it six o’clock in the evening? See you later.”

“……huh.”

Jaehyun saw the two of them away.

After a while. Looking at the two dots, Jaehyun murmured softly.

“Ina… you have surprisingly good observational skills.”

In the article I read before returning, Seo In-na was cold-hearted and indifferent to others, and cold towards her guild members. No matter how you look at it, it was a departure from her current appearance.

“After all, a knight is just a knight.”

Jaehyun smiled and closed the door.

* * *

After showering, Jaehyun stood in front of the closet to change clothes.

The current time is 5:40 PM.

I had to hurry because it would soon be the time I had promised with the two of them.

Jaehyun sighed as he opened the closet and looked inside.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have bought some clothes when I came.”

There was hardly any plain clothes to wear inside.

Due to the rigorous classes at Milles Academy, the clothes she wore in middle school hardly fit. It was because the size of the clothes got bigger because of the muscles attached to the shoulders and thighs.

“After entering the academy, I only wore school uniforms. There was no need to buy private clothes.”

After thinking about it for a while, Jaehyun had no choice but to take out the widest clothes from the closet.

A plain white hoodie and black slacks. It was also a black and blue jacket to wear over it.

after changing clothes. Looking at the clock again, there were two minutes left until 6:00.

Jaehyun scratched his head and sighed.

“Ah, Kim Yu-jung will be nagging me for being late again.”

Jaehyun immediately left the house and walked a little faster to arrive in front of Kim Yoojung’s house.

The house is 10 minutes away. It wasn’t too far.

Get to the door and ring the doorbell. Sure enough, Kim Yoo-jung grumbled and opened the door.

“You are 7 minutes late. My late fee.”

“Stop talking bullshit and open the door.”

At Jaehyun’s words, Kim Yoojung chuckled and clicked her tongue briefly.

Of course, contrary to his actions, the door was opened obediently.

“Yeah. How come your house seems to get bigger every time I look at it?”

“What are you talking about? Why is the quiet house getting wider?”

At Jaehyun’s words, Kim Yoojung laughed and said,

Jaehyun lowered his clenched fist, barely restraining himself from wanting to punch him.

Upon entering, a luxurious sofa that can comfortably seat ten people caught my eye. All kinds of famous paintings hanging in the living room and famous brand rugs on the floor.

Jaehyun nodded again, thinking.

‘Kim Yoo-jung is the daughter of a rich family, right…….’

Kim Yoo-jung is a rich family’s material, even a silver spoon, if not a gold one.

My parents handled and traded the corpses of demons, but this job was risky but very profitable.

Needless to say, the revenue earned annually exceeds at least 2 billion won.

Jaehyun stuck out his tongue and looked around the inside of the house.

“…… Jaehyun, are you here?”

Seo Ina, who was sitting on the sofa, asked.

Jaehyun nodded.

“huh. Oh right. That I asked earlier. or why are you here?”

“……that is. I had nowhere else to go.”

“Oh sorry.”

Jaehyun quickly apologized for Seo Eana’s voice getting smaller.

I just remembered it now, but Seo Eana doesn’t have a family right now.

After the only grandmother died because of lack of money. She had no family left.

‘Just by looking at it, Kim Yu-jung knew in advance and invited her to her house. There is a surprisingly delicate corner. It doesn’t suit me.’

Perhaps Kim Yoo-jung brought Seo E-na back to her home to help her with nowhere else to go.

Jaehyun laughs and looks at the back of Kim Yoojung who is busy moving.

Suddenly, a familiar voice pierced his ears.

“oh! Jaehyun is here! Long time no see uncle?”

“hello.”

Jaehyun bowed his head in greeting.

The person who greeted him was none other than Kim Yoo-jung’s father.

“what? Jaehyun is here?”

The middle-aged woman who comes out into the living room is, of course, her mother.

Incidentally, both of them were people who took good care of Jaehyun.

They were kind and warm.

‘These were the people who took good care of me when I lost my mother before returning…’

Thinking about it again made my nose tingle for some reason. but then

“Ah!”

Soon, the uncle’s headlock hit Jaehyun directly.

It didn’t hurt, but thanks to that, the tears evaporated neatly.

Jaehyun thought with a smile.

‘It seems like it’s family inheritance to wear headlocks all the time.’

“Jaehyun~ It’s been a really long time. We ate a lot while we came and played well.”

“Ah yes.”

The aunt also welcomed Jaehyun. The old man poked Jaehyun’s side with his elbow and said.

“Isn’t Yoojung bothering you these days? Once upon a time, when I was in elementary school, you always hit me and came to tell me…”

“…You still remember that.”

It was a story that Jaehyun had already heard dozens of times.

Kim Yoo-jung stepped on her father’s foot while carrying the tableware.

“Daddy, if you have time to talk nonsense like that, don’t you quickly bring some food? It’s heavy!”

“Ah got it. Anyway, who resembles him and has such an eccentric personality… I don’t know if there’s a guy I’ll take with me later.”

Shaking his head while talking, he suddenly stabbed Jaehyun in the side.

“How about it. Even if it’s Jaehyun, do you think Yoojung will take you?”

Seo In-na, who was sitting on the sofa, and Kim Yoo-jung, who was carrying tableware, turned to Jae-hyun.
