I Picked Up the Hero and the Demon King - I Picked Up the Hero and the Demon King chapter 43

43 – Everyday life (4)

The development of events went like this.

A few days before meeting Lee Seo-jin, Han Soo-jung contacted Han Yoo-seong.

“Hello? Dad?”

[No!? Isn’t that a fix! My daughter! What’s the matter. How are you? Do you eat well?]

“Yes. I’m doing well. Dad?”

[Of course we get along! How is it. Is the association worth doing?]

“As always. What.”

Han Soo-jung smiled at her father’s voice, who worried about her.

She is an adult, but her children are always precious to her parents.

Han Yoo-seong, thinking that she might be having a hard time going outside for no reason, cautiously suggested it.

[…] Are you thinking of joining the company? If I’m going to be active, I’d rather do it at the company… ]

“All right, Dad. You know. Then you’re going to hear about the parachute and all that stuff.”

[What? Who says If you see someone saying that, bring him! I’m very just-]

“Okay~ It’s just what I said, don’t worry about it.”

Han Yoo-seong let out a sigh so that she could not hear Han Su-jeong’s words.

Since she was my one and only daughter, she wanted to do anything for me.

Since she became an adult, she has received little help that comes and she has never taken advantage of her status as the ‘daughter of an H&A president’.

She was Han Yuseong, worried that she might have hated the environment around her.

[Yes… I get it. I’m just glad she’s doing well.]

“Yeah. But you have a dad…”

It was a simple phone call, but Han Soo-jung hesitated as her face turned red.

As her words faded and she spoke as if she was worried about something, Yuseong Han became nervous.

What’s going on? Should she step in and help? She started to get caught up in a lot of thoughts.

She hurriedly asked what was the matter with her, refraining from asking her and just waiting patiently to know what she would say.

After a brief moment of silence, Han Soo-jung said her first words.

“How did Dad meet her mother?”

[…] Huh?]

That was a completely absurd question.

However, that question made Han Yoo-seong even more nervous.

It was the first question she asked, and the meaning behind it was about the relationship between the opposite s*x.

Instantly, ‘Do you have a man?’ She almost asked, but she calmed down and answered slowly.

[Um~ It’s really long to say that… But why? Does my daughter have someone she likes?]

“Huh? No, no! It’s just… A person I like a little bit…”

Han Soo-jung’s face grew redder and she unknowingly leaned her body in front of her.

As shy and her voice went down, Yuseong Han 100% guessed that she had a man.

From noble mtl dot com.

What kind of dog… No. I wondered what kind of unscrupulous bastard stole his daughter.

Since talking on the phone with her daughter came first, she calmly continued the conversation.

[Ha.Ha.Ha… My daughter is old enough… OK?]

“Yeah… I think so. I just asked because I was curious. My mom and dad like Keumseul.”

[Ahahahaha… That. That’s right Umm… Therefore… ]

Han Yuseong, full of thoughts in his head, blurted out what had happened.

However, the main thought was about who Soo-jeong Han likes.

After that, she ended her call by briefly telling the story of what she had been through.

“…”

Late night. President’s Office.

He was sitting still and working, and as soon as the call was over, he called somewhere.

“It’s fast. I want to order one because I have work.”

I don’t need to tell you what happened after that.

He collected

Information and knew that Lee Seo-jin had the closest relationship with Han Soo-jung.

After all this and some personal research, he realized that his daughter likes this bastard.

That’s why it was necessary to check.

Is this guy really capable of making his daughter happy?

What thoughts does he have?

Have you been approaching for a long time to use it, etc…

It was an opportunity for the father of a daughter who is not good enough to do anything.

※

“…Yes?”

For a moment, I was embarrassed and said something.

Marriage with Han Soo-jung… What is it? Looking at what this means, Han Yuseong smiled.

However, I could see that that smile was never a good-looking smile.

“Don’t be fooled. I already know that my daughter and you have a close relationship.”

“No. Chairman. There seems to be a misunderstanding…”

“Misunderstanding…? Misunderstanding?”

Han Yuseong snapped his fingers.

Then the door to the conference room opened from behind and a secretary placed several documents on the table above Lee Seo-jin.

“What is this?”

“It’s about what happened between you and my daughter. You’ve had a really, really deep relationship. I never thought you’d even gone on a date.”

“Yes? That. That…”

I didn’t say anything.

Not only being hospitalized, but also manipulation of test results.

The former was a great help, but the latter was to the point of incurring a huge debt.

Fortunately, I had to be deeply grateful to hear that it was canceled.

So, if the relationship was deep, it could be said to be deep, but dating… Called?

“De. Date. No. I never did.”

“So what? Then my daughter rented an entire floor of the building and arranged for you? Isn’t that a date?”

“Oh… that’s…”

I hesitated because I didn’t have anything to refute.

Maybe it’s because I’ve never thought about it that way.

My face got hot and I felt embarrassed for no reason, but I tried my best to stay calm and answered.

“You should see that as a date. But Sujeong and I aren’t in that kind of relationship yet.”

“What?! Are you really thinking of kicking our daughter?! She’s close and she gets so much help?!”

He hurriedly denied Han Yoo-seong’s rising voice.

“No. No! So… If you look at it as a relationship…”

The voice got smaller and smaller.

What am I saying?

I’ve never thought of such a thing, but what kind of unscrupulous words come out by themselves.

Intensity is crazy. There are only a lot of meaningful parts, but how can I progress?!

Her chest was tight and her head was complicated, but fortunately, she seemed to like my answer.

“Hmm… that’s right. Then you’re thinking of getting married.”

“Yes?”

“What is you? I don’t think… I don’t even like it, but I’m so attached to it because it’s so close to me?”

“No. No! Yes! There are so many!”

For now, let’s answer this.

It’s an atmosphere that will never end unless you give a satisfactory answer.

“Hmm. All right. Then I’ll ask you a few questions. I wonder if I can accept you as my son-in-law.”

“Question… you mean? Son-in-law?”

“Hmm? Why is that? Couldn’t it be… Were everything you said so far?! Actually, you don’t like my daughter, so you’re trying to use it?!”

“No. No! Okay… I do… Until marriage… Yes…”

“Hmmm. That’s how it should be. Whose daughter is my daughter?”

I never imagined that a confession would come out of my mouth before I even noticed my heart.

But… It was something I had to think about.

What do I think of Han Soo-jung?

What does Han Soo-jung think of me?

If we both have a crush… What to do after that

I needed to check it someday, not just thinking about it in my head.

“Okay. Then let me ask you a question.”

Han Yuseong asked me all sorts of questions while looking at his prey with the eyes of a beast.

What is your age, what is your job, what is your ability… From the part related to the individual.

What is the relationship with Sujeongi after that, what are the plans, what if we get married… And so on to Han Soo-jung and the part about the future.

The questions were so intense that they could be said to be tougher than any other interview, and I had to think deeply about each one before answering.

Did I finish asking the questions I wanted to ask by the time I lost my mind?

Han Yuseong smiled as he looked at it with the expression, ‘I don’t like it, but I’ll let it pass for now.’

“Hmm… I’m a bit dissatisfied, but that’s okay.”

“Are you passing?”

“No. It’s not like that… I just found out how you think of Sujeongi. Well… I did some research beforehand. He’s a pretty decent guy, right? Sword Saint.”

“…I didn’t expect to hear that hero name until now.”

“Ha ha ha! You don’t like it very much? Your reputation has skyrocketed recently, so you must be that popular.”

“…I’m not a womanizer.”

“That’s a good answer.”

Han Yuseong smiled happily as if he was quite satisfied with the answer he had just received.

Of course, my soul was in tatters as if it had been beaten.

“Well, it was for this reason that I wanted to see you. I care so much for my daughter.”

“…I understand.”

“I know what kind of person you are, so I don’t have anything more to say… You can go. Ah. Is there anything else you want to say?”

Han Yuseong, who went crazy when he lost Han Soo-jung in his previous life, really… Because it looked sad

Why do the images from that time seem to overlap?

Since I was reminded of Han Soo-jung’s last appearance, I felt a certain emotion rising.

That’s why I didn’t want to end this conversation with a simple happening.

“…Chairman. What if… If something serious happens to Sujeongi, what would you do?”

“…What?”

Han Yoo-seong seemed surprised for a moment when he suddenly changed the topic of conversation.

But she thought straight away and she made a serious face and she replied.

“Whatever it is, whoever it is… I will never let it go. If that happens, I will do everything to protect my daughter and kill anyone who touches it.”

“…Is that so?”

Her sincerity came through.

I felt the spirit of a person who was called the Kwon King, and I felt the overwhelming force, perhaps for the purpose of testing me.

But if I was thinking of stepping down because of something like this, I would have given up everything from the start.

“So am I. Sujeongi… I intend to protect it somehow. If there is an approaching enemy, I will kill it. If there is a danger, I will eliminate it.”

“…You proudly say the obvious. So what do you want to say?”

Are you telling me to get to the point instead of trembling?

From now on, it seemed that Han Yoo-seong was not just a simple ‘father’, but also a ‘businessman’ Han Yoo-seong.

Somehow, thinking that I could make a strong ally, I smiled for some reason.

“Then… Would you listen to me?”

※

After talking with Han Yoo-seong, Han Su-jeong was waiting in the hallway on the 7th floor.

“Huh. Sujeong-ah?”

“…! Senpai!”

As soon as I came out, Sujeong Han hurriedly approached me and asked me a question.

“Are you okay? Didn’t Daddy do something?”

“Yes. It’s okay. More than that, the president cares about you a lot.”

“…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be like this, but my dad contacted me…”

“It’s okay. Did you wait until now? My leg hurts, so I’ll wait below.”

“Something happened because of me, but of course I have to wait.”

Sujeong Han smiled brightly.

But why?

If it was like usual, I wouldn’t have had any emotions or thoughts, but now it’s a bit strange.

Somehow… Should I say cute or should I say pretty?

As I was talking with Han Yoo-seong, my feelings for Han Soo-jung grew, so I slightly turned my gaze.

“What about the kids?”

“I’m waiting for you downstairs. There’s a cafe in the building.”

“Really? Then let’s go down. Ah. That’s right. You…”

She turned her head slightly and looked at the conference room door.

Then did you know my intention? Han Soo-jung shook her head.

“Later. I’m here with my senior…”

“Yes. All right.”

As we walked slowly together, I had a conversation with Sujeong Han.

“By the way, senpai. What did you and your dad talk about?”

“Uh. Uh? Uh… That’s…”

Um. How do i do this

I wasn’t sure if I should say it.

Except for the back story we shared while thinking about the future… Because I have to say that I talked to you on the premise of marriage.

But how do you say this?!

We still don’t know how we feel about each other.

You don’t even know my heart, but right now… !

“That. That’s… Um…”

“Couldn’t Dad have told you something troubling? Just… That you’ll go through something bad if you meet me?”

“That-that’s not it! So… Um…”

Damn it. Maybe it was because the words came out, but that bright gaze became burdensome.

Han Soo-jung hasn’t changed, but why does it look so different?

… No can you just say

Wouldn’t it be okay to just pass it off as a joke?

That’s why you don’t keep saying things like this… Good.

“I just asked if I would marry you?”

“…Yes?”

“Maybe because I was close to you, I thought we were dating. So I just asked if I was going to get married later or what I was going to do. hahahaha—”

I was laughing and talking, but I couldn’t speak anymore.

Hearing the answer, Han Soo-jung averted her gaze and gradually blushed.

Once I realized that I was embarrassed even if I didn’t say anything, I felt embarrassed too.

“Uh… well… it was.”

“…I see.”

Conversation cut off.

Me and Han Soo-jung just walked in silence in the hallway without seeing each other.

We were shy until we arrived and waited in front of the elevator.

Then, with her head bowed, Han Soo-jung asked me a question.

“…Then what do you think, senpai?”

“Huh?”

“I heard you asked me to marry me… What do you think?”

“Uh…? Uh… that. That…”

I was speechless at the sudden fastball.

I had no idea what to answer, and my head was getting confused.

Is that why? He gave an answer that might be good or bad.

“Uh. Um… Guess. Are you okay?”

“…Are you okay?”

“Hmm? Eh! That’s why I don’t know you and I yet, but thinking about what’s happened, I think it’s going to be okay. What else should I say later? Well, I just thought it would be okay…”

“Eheh… I see.”

Embarrassed, my words were pouring out, but when I saw Han Soo-jung’s face, I shut her mouth.

The smiling face of Bashisi… It was really crazy because it looked good.

Why does my heart beat little by little and my heart hurts a little?

When the elevator came and the door opened, I jumped on it.

Then, Han Soo-jung looked at me and then came closer to me with her light gestures and whispered in my ear.

From noble mtl dot com.

“I like it.”

“…… Huh?”

After she said those words and fell, Sujeong Han’s face turned even redder and she didn’t see me the whole time she went down.

I just stared blankly at the empty space and felt it go down without thinking.
