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.
Youre 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 Consiglire to see you through to the end of this case.
Consiglire?
Yes. He also requested that we have a al together for the first ti in a long ti.
Ill have to contact him.
Yes, please. Well 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 wasnt 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 hes 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 shes on her phone, talking intently.
Apparently, she was explaining the situation to her siblings about being taken away unexpectedly by the detectives.
Okay, Sia, Ill 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 wasnt 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.
Im sure shes 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, its late and theres no bus or subway. How were you going to get back?
What? Uh.. I was going to walk sohow.
WellI 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 dont waste ti.
Uh, uh, by the way, Im really fine.
Rather, its because Id 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 Eugenes car I cant believe its 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, Ill be on my way.
Waaaah.
Kim Se-ahs face widened as if she admired Han Seo-joons 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-ahs house.
Im about to leave after dropping her off, but she stops and looks at as if shes rembered sothing.
By the way, Mr. Eugene. I owe you a favor this ti, and my siblings would like to thank you, so why dont 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 drivers seat, but he only smiles wryly.
Theres no parking around here, so Ill have to go sowhere else. Im really sorry, it was so nice of you.
Oh, no, its not, Im really grateful that you drove here, what about you, Eugene?
Youll 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 Im 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 .
Ive never t you before, Im 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.
Youre not hurt, are you?
Dont you know who your sister is?
Se-ah pats the child on the back and talks to her gently.
We have guests here, shouldnt we say hello?
Oh, no!
The girl pulls away from Se-ah in surprise and bows to .
Oh, hello. Ive 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-woos eyes were strong, this childs eyes were filled with fire.
Im Kim Sia, Se-ahs sister and Si-woos older sister, and I heard my sister owes a lot to you at the academy.
I looked at her andthought she was very mature for her age.
Hey, why are you the older sister? Were the sa age!
Im the sister because I was born before you, and didnt I tell you that we shouldnt fight in front of guests?
Cmon.
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 youll 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 sisters 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 sisters 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 childs curiosity is not a sin.
After a few minutes of answering one question after another, Se-ah ca out with a tray of tea.
Youve been waiting a long ti. Im sorry, children, Mr. Eugene is having a hard ti!
Sis! Youre so an!
Sis! I think hes 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.
Im 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.
Thats because Jin-woo was the only person in the academy who called boss, and this was the first ti Id heard the word boss co out of Se-ahs mouth.
Oh, I havent introduced myself yet. Im Eugene Han and Im also the president of the club Familia, just like Se-ah said.
Yes, its 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, shouldnt you go and snooze, or will you sleep late tomorrow?
We have a day off tomorrow, can we sleep in?
Its big sister, and Si-woo will go in first to sleep.
Sia grabbed Si-woos hand and waved goodbye to us, even though Si-woo still didnt want to go to bed, and dashed into their room.
Once they were out of the room, the house was quiet.
Theyre so energetic, arent they? Im worried about the way things are in the house.
Both of Se-ahs 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 dont have much magic, Spatial Magic is extraordinary.
Nevertheless, the reason shes 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, youre the reason theyve turned out so well, and apparently you have so talent.
Talent?
It took a mont, but then I rembered the system window Id seen just monts ago when my kids were sitting next to .
This convinced .

[Kim Sia]
[Kim Si-woo]
I wondered why Kim Se-ah, who uses spatial magic, didnt appear in the ga and why the two children were added to the Character Book.
