I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 28

Episode 028

My younger brother, Son Seung-ju, who I rarely contact, called me for some reason.

what? Are you asking for pocket money?

“hello?”

Since I couldn’t answer the phone inside the temple, I sneaked out.

Seo Ji-han also quickly ran out of the temple.

It seems like he really didn’t want to be there.

-sister?

A familiar voice came from the receiver.

Since we didn’t need to exchange greetings or anything like that, I asked straight to the point.

“What’s going on?”

-Are you okay with the time this evening?

“huh. “Nothing happened, why?”

-Let’s have dinner together. Mom will come too.

“Mom is coming too?”

-huh.

what? What’s happening all of a sudden?

Usually, my mom asks me to eat with her, but it’s a bit strange that Seungju Son contacted me.

The first thing that came to mind when I heard the word mom was the escape stone in my inventory.

I was worried about when and how to give it to him, but should I just give it to him after meeting him today and telling him that I have awakened?

Or would it be better to give it after joining the guild?

“Let’s just eat?”

-I have something to say.

“You’re not dropping out, are you?”

-no.

“Did your grade fail?”

-no.

“You’re taking a leave of absence?”

-Oh, it’s not like that! I’m going to eat meat, is that okay?

“Meat is good.”

The moment I answered, I made eye contact with the monk who was entering the temple.

Oh, I didn’t do anything wrong, but I felt like I did something wrong… I

was awkwardly avoiding the monk’s gaze, but my younger brother called out the appointment time and place and hung up.

“You’re suddenly doing something you don’t normally do…”

As I was wondering over the hung up phone call, Seo Ji-han sneakily approached me.

– You’ll find out when you get there.

* * *

“It’s good to see your face like this.”

In front of the blazing grill, my younger brother said something strange.

I wonder what kind of wind is blowing that makes him say something he doesn’t say before. He

winked at my mom, asking why he was like this, but my mom didn’t seem to know anything at all.

“Did you get in an accident? Why do you keep doing that? I feel uneasy…”

“Even if it’s not like that.”

My younger brother looked innocently in response to my suspicious gaze.

what. What on earth?

ah.

“Are you surprised when I told you I almost died?”

As expected, the only thing that can be pointed out is the dungeon creation explosion.

I guess they heard about me from their mom.

If you think about it that way, it explains it.

But Seungju looked puzzled.

“huh? “What happened to you, sister?”

I immediately looked back at my mom when I heard this reaction, saying it was my first time hearing this.

“Mom, didn’t you tell him?”

“I deliberately didn’t tell you because I was afraid of Seungju worrying.”

No matter what, it was so.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t keep my mouth shut, so Seungju, who knew nothing, was left in an uproar.

“What is it? What’s going on?”

“The dungeon creation explosion I had a while ago. “You got caught up in it.”

I spoke calmly, but Seungju’s face turned white.

“what? Is that where your sister’s company is? Where are you hurt? are you okay?”

“I’m fine. I don’t even know where my sister works.”

My younger sister, who was frantically checking to see if her limbs were properly attached, puffed out her lips in response to my scolding,

“You don’t even know what school I go to.”

“I know. T.”

“No, I transferred to Do University.”

“Hmm.”

I have nothing to say.

When did you transfer?

When I cleared my throat and raised my glass of water, Seungju must have thought I had gained momentum and opened my mouth again.

“And did you hear that I broke my leg?”

leg? What does this mean again?

“what? “How did it happen!”

When asked in surprise, Seungju burst out laughing.

“I was working part-time at a convenience store when a truck crashed into me…”

“What?”

“It’s all healed now. I received a generous amount of compensation.”

“You say that? Mom, why didn’t you tell me?”

I was so dumbfounded that when I looked at my mother, she responded calmly,

“I work with Moa, so I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you might be surprised.”

“Mom, tell me something.”

“Okay, please tell me.”

Even though the two of us said this, Mom just shrugged.

And Seo Ji-han was watching this entire conversation, leaning against the wall of the meat restaurant.

His eyes were vivid, as if he was quite amused.

At least he looked much better than when he was listening to the Buddhist scriptures earlier. .

Actually, before coming here, I tried to put Seo Ji-han in the inventory.

Because I didn’t want to show him arguing with his family.

But Seo Ji-han continued to refuse.

In the end, he said, ‘If you want to put me in the inventory, I should go in.’ He had a vaguely sad expression on his face, so I had no choice but to go with him.

Fox, very.

“By the way, isn’t that too much of a stretch?”

All the meat being grilled on the grill was beef.

Moreover, for some reason, Seungju Son, who was working part-time jobs because he had no money, declared that he would buy this. When I

asked if I would pay for it, Seungju grinned.

“I can’t believe it. Hmm, this is it.” “It’s nothing to me now.”

“What? It’s really strange.”

As I picked up a piece of well-cooked meat and munched on it, I was trying to time the timing of when to tell my mother about my awakening and when to give my mother an escape room. As the conversation enters a slight lull, my worries become

more intense. Should

I say it now?

Or will I go to the guild ? After entering?

I’m going to join the guild anyway, so wouldn’t it be okay to

give it to me now? “Hey, let me tell you…”

The moment I opened my mouth somewhat impulsively, Seungju interrupted me and interrupted me.

“Big big. everyone. “I have an important announcement to make.”

what.

Could it be that Son Seung-ju has also awakened?

A sudden thought crossed my mind, making me a little nervous.

However, Seungju’s announcement was completely different.

“I won the lottery. 2nd place.”

Silence fell on the table.

My mother looked in disbelief and my mind became confused.

Is it real?

Aren’t you just waking up and making an excuse that you won the lottery?

“Really?”

At my words, Seungju rummaged through her pocket and handed me a piece of paper.

I looked at it and it was a receipt for payment of lottery winnings.

The amount is approximately 82 million won.

“saw? Did you see it? I’m someone who doesn’t often buy lottery tickets, but that day I suddenly felt like that, so I bought it. I tried it yesterday without any expectations. You won! Wow, you almost cried the moment you actually won. “I went right away this morning and got the money!”

Seungju is talking so excitedly, but if I say that I am an awakened person, it would be like pouring cold water on the excited atmosphere.

Umm, let’s talk next time.

Because the horns will soon be eaten anyway. You can join the guild and talk.

“So, let’s go on a trip abroad! Mom, are you okay? Is it okay for you too? You’re unemployed right now! “Let’s go on a family trip abroad!”

Not a bad idea.

If I had been in a situation where I could easily reveal that I had become an awakened person, I would have asked my family to go on an overseas trip as soon as I got the money.

When I start working as a hunter in earnest, I’ll be busy, and I’m sure now is the right time as I don’t have much else to do.

Moreover, neither I nor my mother had ever been to a foreign country.

Seungju had been to China at least once on a school field trip, but I didn’t have that kind of leisure because it was a chaotic time when dungeons had just been created.

“I think I’m fine.”

When Seungju readily agreed, her expectant eyes fell on her mother.

“When are you going? “I have to help Yeongju’s mother with her farming.”

Although she was shaking, Seungju’s mouth reached up to her ears as the words that were almost like consent fell out.

“If you have a passport, you can go right away! “Let’s go before the vacation ends!”

“This winter? It’s cold….”

“You can go to a warm country!”

“It’s so cold right now, but it’s warm there?”

“That’s right! It’s warmer in Geoje Island than in Seoul. If you go to a country further down than Geoje Island, it really feels like summer.”

Seung-ju’s words didn’t seem to have touched Seung-ju’s words to her mother, who only lived farming and had little concept of foreign countries. Still, I

felt proud when I saw the excitement slowly spreading across her calm face. As I

looked at my mother’s face, I suddenly felt alone. Seo Ji-han, standing far away, caught my eye. It

’s overseas.

Let’s go to the Vatican later.

I’m abroad and Seo Ji-han is going to heaven.

Sounds good, right?

“Where should we go?”

While looking at Seo Ji-han for a moment, the topic quickly moved to choosing a travel destination.

Seung-ju picked up her cell phone, searched here and there, and suddenly brought up the screen.

“How about this place?”

“Guam?”

“There’s a lot to visit. There’s a lot to see and do.”

“I do not care. “As long as Mom’s okay.”

Since my mother did not object much, the travel destination was smoothly decided on Guam.

Seungju’s mother looked unusually excited as she checked the travel destinations on her cell phone.

If you become a hunter in the future, we will allow you to travel around the world.

The mother went through a lot of hardships raising two children alone.

“And this. “I sent the money to my mom and sister’s account.”

Seungju proudly showed the account transfer records.

This is the details of depositing 10 million won to me and 30 million won to my mother.

By the way, is it okay to disclose Son Seung-joo’s lottery winning amount so transparently without even thinking about hiding it?

Are you not greedy for money?

Of course, my family isn’t the type to ask me to give up my lottery winnings.

Well, Seungju has had a very honest personality since she was young.

I hated hiding something.

Is it because I grew up watching myself get caught telling clumsy lies and get scolded?

Both Seungju and I tended to believe that if we hid something, it would inevitably be discovered.

“I don’t have to give it to you…”

If you had read your fortune this month, it would have said that you were lucky with money.

That includes the money given by the deputy manager and assistant manager, as well as the money given by Seungju.

Unexpected money came in from all over the place.

If it had been before, I would have been happy. I may have received it, but in reality, it is money that I hardly need right now. I

said it half-sincerely, but Seungju seemed to think I was taking it for no reason.

“What are you talking about? I heard you would have been upset if I didn’t give it to you. I don’t have a job, so what can I do?”

Hearing this sound so dignified makes me wonder who this is.

Still, I have to return this money later after I join the guild.

I can also return the money the conductor and assistant manager gave me at that time.

“Then, when are you leaving?”

Seungju smiled brightly at my question.

“As quickly as possible. Don’t you have passports for your mom and sister?”

“I have to make it. I don’t have any reason to go overseas…”

“Then let’s go in about two weeks. “I’ll make the reservation!”

When I make my passport, I can make my mother’s passport at the same time.

“But Son Seung-ju. Aren’t you working part-time? “Is it okay to quit so suddenly?”

“huh. “The boss already said that my hair was bad and that he would cut it off every time, but yesterday he did it again, so I just told him to cut it and left.”

Seungju shrugged and put a few more pieces of meat on the grill with a carefree look on his face.

I’m humming because my mind is already filled with thoughts of going on a trip.

Anyway, it’s nice to see him happy, but when I left, even if I left, I still had a major task ahead of me.

The deadline is 2 weeks.

You must eat all of Kergis’ horns within it.

Even when I travel, I can’t eat this.
