Chapter 78
After putting Se-ah in the car first, I went to see the representative of the defense team who stepped up to the plate for this case.
I walked over to Mr. Han Kwang-ki.
“You’re here, Master.”
In South Korea, Dike is a law firm that specializes in lawsuits related to Awakened.
They had grown in the past with the help of Hanwol Group and Corleone, and were now one of the largest law firms in Korea.
“Thank you so much for coming to us at such short notice.”
“On the contrary, we should be thanking you for finding us first. Your family has been targeted, and I have been ordered by the Consiglière to see you through to the end of this case.”
“……Consiglière?”
“Yes. He also requested that we have a al together for the first ti in a long ti.”
“……I’ll have to contact him.”
“Yes, please. We’ll do so research on the case.”
Han Kwang-ki bowed his head and walked away.
To be honest, I was surprised when he first showed up here. After all, he was one of the nad NPCs in the ga: The Mad Lawyer.
He was one of those lawyers who would do anything to win his cases.
However, in the end, he wasn’t necessarily evil, as he was more of a Vigilante who would take on the defense of the wicked and win, but if his client was evil, he would take the punishnt into his own hands.
[A new character has been added to the Character Book!]
And it seems that he’s been added to the character book.
Judging by the fact that the others were not added, it seed that only those who were categorized as nad NPCs in the ga were registered in the Character Book.
I walked over to where Se-ah was waiting.
Right in front of the police station she’s on her phone, talking intently.
Apparently, she was explaining the situation to her siblings about being taken away unexpectedly by the detectives.
“Okay, Sia, I’ll be there in a minute, just stay calm with Si-woo, okay?”
Se-ah hangs up the phone with those last words and sighs, probably to relieve the tension.
“Wow. Thank you so much, if it wasn’t for Eugene, I would have been in trouble, not to ntion my siblings.”
She bows her head toward .
“Again. Thank you so much. You saved my life.”
I’m sure she’s very surprised, too but she stayed silent and still until the end, following my lead, expressing her gratitude to in this way.
That was enough for .
“I did what I was supposed to do. By the way, it’s late and there’s no bus or subway. How were you going to get back?”
“What? Uh….. I was going to walk sohow.”
“Well……I can give you a ride.”
“What?”
“I had so ti to spare anyway.”
A black sedan pulls up in front of just in ti.
“Here we go. Hurry up and don’t waste ti.”
“Uh, uh, by the way, I’m really fine.”
“Rather, it’s because I’d feel uneasy if I left you alone. Co on, co on.”
“What?! Ouch!”
Se-ah ends up curled up on my back and sits in the backseat.
She squirms in her seat because the feel of the seat is so strange.
“Wow…… this is Eugene’s car…… I can’t believe it’s so soft to the touch.”
I burst out laughing because I had a similar thought to Se-ah when I first got into this car.
“By the way, can you give your ho address?”
“What? Uh, my ho address is…….”
The address that ca out of Se-ah mouth was not too far away, about 15 minutes by car.
“Alright then, I’ll be on my way.”
“Waaaah…….”
Kim Se-ah’s face widened as if she admired Han Seo-joon’s words as he announced their departure.
I had been worried about Se-ah, who had looked so depressed when she was at the police station, but seeing her smile like this made feel better.
Soon after, we arrived at Se-ah’s house.
I’m about to leave after dropping her off, but she stops and looks at as if she’s rembered sothing.
“By the way, Mr. Eugene. I owe you a favor this ti, and my siblings…… would like to thank you, so why don’t you co upstairs and have a cup of tea?”
“Your siblings?”
“Yes, I usually talk about Mr. Eugene a lot, so my siblings are curious. Oh, and the driver is coming up too!”
Se-ah asks Han Seo-joon, who is in the driver’s seat, but he only smiles wryly.
“There’s no parking around here, so I’ll have to go sowhere else. I’m really sorry, it was so nice of you.”
“Oh, no, it’s not, I’m really grateful that you drove here, what about you, Eugene……?”
“You’ll be sorry if I just leave.”
“Exactly.”
Smiling at my answer, Se-ah gets out of the car first.
I followed her out of the car, and she opened the gate first and walked inside.
“The owner of the first floor is sleeping, so you need to co in quietly……!”
“Oh, okay.”
The house is on the second floor.
Just when I was thinking that.
-Thud!
With a sound, the door opened from the second floor, and a little kid who looked to be about 7 years old ran down the stairs at a trendous speed and hugged Se-ah.
“Sis!”
“Oh my God. Really. I told you to go to sleep first because I’m coming ho late.”
“How can I sleep when my sister was taken away by the cops?”
A tearful reunion unfolded before my eyes.
He spotted , blushed with surprise, and bowed to .
“I’ve never t you before, I’m Kim Si-woo.”
“Uh…… yes.”
As if what I had just seen was a lie the child seed so polite from the start.
“Please follow . My house is on this floor.”
Si-woo takes the lead and climbs the stairs while and Se-ah slowly follow him up the stairs and enter the door he opens for us.
“Oh.”
The scene in front of was a very welcoming ho.
Co to think of it, had I ever entered a proper family ho since I crossed over to this world?
For , who had defaulted to the appearance of the Corleone family after crossing over to the CS world and being possessed, this scene was very familiar.
In a short period of ti, my body had already grown accustod to the large mansion and its suites.
The familiar scent of fabric softener in the air, the yellowed cabinets and the familiar wallpaper all around was a nostalgic reminder of the place where I used to live.
“Sis!!!”
Another child, this ti a girl, finds Se-ah and crashes into her.
“You’re not hurt, are you?”
“Don’t you know who your sister is?”
Se-ah pats the child on the back and talks to her gently.
“We have guests here, shouldn’t we say hello?”
“Oh, no!”
The girl pulls away from Se-ah in surprise and bows to .
“Oh, hello. I’ve heard so much about you from my sister.”
The girl greeted cutely. She reminded of my younger sister, Jiyun, because they were around the sa age.
She looked so much like Se-ah that I wondered if she would have looked like that when she was younger. The resemblance was almost too much.
Whereas Si-woo’s eyes were strong, this child’s eyes were filled with fire.
“I’m Kim Sia, Se-ah’s sister and Si-woo’s older sister, and I heard my sister owes a lot to you at the academy.”
I looked at her and……thought she was very mature for her age.
“Hey, why are you the older sister? We’re the sa age!”
“I’m the sister because I was born before you, and didn’t I tell you that we shouldn’t fight in front of guests?”
“C’mon…….”
……Were they twins?
Apparently, the girl is the older sister.
“By the way, I will be back in a minute, can you wait with the kids over there?”
“Sure. If you’ll excuse .”
I nodded and went inside and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Se-ah house was small, but it looked like an ordinary family ho.
Two rooms, one bathroom, and a dining table big enough for a family of four to sit side by side and eat.
Apparently, their parents had passed away and the landlord had taken care of them, so they were able to stay here for cheap.
“Brother, you saved my sister’s life, right?”
“Big brother. You saved my sister?”
As soon as Se-ah is gone, the twins sit down on either side of and launch a barrage of questions.
“Are you in the sa club as my sister?”
“Are you the president of our sister’s club?”
They start asking all sorts of questions acting like spoiled brats.
“Are you really strong like all the other heroes? Are you stronger than Mighty Guy?”
“Is brother stronger than my sister? How much stronger?”
A child’s curiosity is not a sin.
After a few minutes of answering one question after another, Se-ah ca out with a tray of tea.
“You’ve been waiting a long ti. I’m sorry, children, Mr. Eugene is having a hard ti!”
“Sis! You’re so an!
“Sis! I think he’s a great guy!”
“……Huh?”
Se-ah is puzzled by the two siblings who have already fallen in love with .
“I thought they were really nice and smart.”
“Is that so? Haha…….”
The two children giggle at my complint and Se-ah sets down four cups on the table.
“I’m glad the kids seem to like you, Eugene. By the way, did you say hello? The girl is Sia, and next to her is the cranky one, Si-woo.”
“Sis, what do you an, cranky?”
“What.”
……I felt like I knew the hierarchy of this house.
“Sia, Si-woo. This is Mr. Eugene Han, the head of our club and my boss.”
Of course, the aning of boss that Se-ah is referring to here is sothing like a boss at work, but for so reason, hearing her say boss gives an unfamiliar feeling.
That’s because Jin-woo was the only person in the academy who called boss, and this was the first ti I’d heard the word boss co out of Se-ah’s mouth.
“Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Eugene Han and I’m also the president of the club ‘Familia’, just like Se-ah said.”
“Yes, it’s nice to et you, Eugene.”
“Nice to et you, too. Eugene.”
The kids, who had just said hello, bowed once more.
Se-ah watches the scene with amusent.
“Now, if you all enjoyed the milk, shouldn’t you go and snooze, or will you sleep late tomorrow?”
“We have a day off tomorrow, can we sleep in?”
“It’s ……big sister, and Si-woo will go in first to sleep.”
Sia grabbed Si-woo’s hand and waved goodbye to us, even though Si-woo still didn’t want to go to bed, and dashed into their room.
Once they were out of the room, the house was quiet.
“They’re so energetic, aren’t they? I’m worried about the way things are in the house.”
Both of Se-ah’s parents were heroes.
Unfortunately, they died in the line of duty, so she quickly beca the head of the family…….
‘Honestly, it must have been hard for her to get a decent education.’
As I suspected, even if you don’t have much magic, Spatial Magic is extraordinary.
Nevertheless, the reason she’s been able to survive this long is because of her siblings.
At least now that they were old enough to go to kindergarten, she could afford it, but she would still need money for them sohow.
“Still, you’re the reason they’ve turned out so well, and apparently you have so talent.”
“Talent?”
It took a mont, but then I rembered the system window I’d seen just monts ago when my kids were sitting next to .
This convinced .
[A new person has been added to the Character Book!]
[Kim Sia]
[Kim Si-woo]
I wondered why Kim Se-ah, who uses spatial magic, didn’t appear in the ga and why the two children were added to the Character Book.
