The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All - The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All chapter 362

Gaiden ― Later story (7)

At the word “in-law”, Jin Ye-seul immediately showed a tearful look.

‘Come to think of it… .’

Even if he acted as if he wasn’t her, Yoo Ji-hyuk could remember that he was not only open to his siblings Jin-jeong and Jin Ye-jun, especially to Jin-jeong, and he was even obsessed with it.

He even mumbled, ‘Of course, I have to live with my sister until I die.’

He was also well aware of the fact that Jin Ye-seul was extremely loathsome and hostile to anyone else approaching what she was obsessed with.

“… Who is the son-in-law?”

In fact, whatever he said to anyone was unacceptable to Jin Ye-seul.

If he had said it to himself, it would have been with Jin Ye-jeong in mind, and if he had said it to Yoo Ji-hyuk, it would have been with Yoo Ji-na in mind.

“? That’s Sado. Yoo Ji-hyuk… is not my son-in-law?”

Belluna got up from her seat at Jin Ye-seul’s question and answered with a tilted head.

“… Unfortunately, Yejun will marry a woman. My sister will be living alone forever.”

“Ahaha! In-law Are you kidding me now? Have fun!”

Jin Ye-seul smiled hard at Belluna’s innocent smile.

“Anyway, I don’t think there’s any reason for me to be called in-law to Mr. Belluna right now.”

Belluna pouted her lips at her infidelity, and tilted her head as if worried.

“Well… I hear it and it is. In-law is a term that can only be used after both families are married.”

“yes that’s right.”

“Yes. You can’t be called an in-law.”

Belluna said hehehehe, smiling like a child.

“For now.”

“… … .”

Jin Ye-seul kept her mouth shut.

It seemed that he realized once again that he couldn’t communicate with Belluna because of his past experiences.

Yoo Ji-hyuk, who was watching him from the side, nodded slightly.

‘Actually, their personalities are really at the level of natural enemies.’

… To be honest, neither Jin Ye-seul nor Belluna had difficult personalities to get along with others, but Yoo Ji-hyuk decided not to think deeply about it.

He gently lifted the fruit basket he was holding in his hand.

“Hello, Belluna.”

“hello. Yoo Ji-hyuk. Do you have any hospital visits?”

“Yes. I heard that Ivan was injured. Since Belluna is here, Ivan must be here too.”

“That’s right, I’m with the expected sheep now.”

Jin Ye-seul’s eyes widened and trembled as she called Jin Jeong-jeong’s name very friendly.

Yoo Ji-hyeok gently grabbed her hand as if to calm her down, and thanks to that, Jin Ye-seul still frowned and grabbed his hand with both hands as if hanging straight away.

“Shall we go together? I was just getting bored of pulling weeds.”

Belluna, who swishly threw the straw hat and hoe, and roughly took off her work gloves, muttered “Oops!

After clumsily cleaning up, she let out a big, empty cough and took the lead.

“Then let’s go together.”

After a while, they found Ivan Hunt sitting in a wheelchair and Jeong-jeong Jin slowly pushing the wheelchair from behind.

“What is it, Jihyuk? Yesul came there too.”

Ivan looked at the two with a surprised expression, and Jin Jeong-jeong also had a surprised expression.

Immediately, Ivan, who had a characteristic smile, looked at the two of them and asked.

“Did you come to visit me?”

“okay. Gina came with me… I told you to come see the others first.”

After answering that, Yoo Ji-hyuk asked him in a voice that seemed to still not understand.

“How did you get hurt so badly? Ivan must have been strong enough to make you like that.”

“Well, it wasn’t, I was just being careless. I didn’t expect it to be a guy whose body explodes like a time bomb.”

While looking at Ivan who was smiling happily, Jin Ye-seul whispered in a very low voice that only Yoo Ji-hyuk, who was standing right next to him, could hear him.

“truth.”

She had the ability to discover the truth of what others said.

That power was now telling her whether Ivan’s words were true or false.

“But the wound was deeper than I thought… There was also a problem with the prosthetic arm, so I came here for both medical and medical treatment. I didn’t talk about it for nothing because I was afraid you would be worried, but it seems to have spread.”

Jin Ye-seul whispered once more while looking at Ivan, who burst out laughing as if he had no face.

“lie.”

Jin Ye-seul’s eyes started to get ugly.

If it wasn’t for Ivan Hunt, who was the one who messed up on Jin, she knew well that, no matter what happened, she would have shredded the other person right now.

… In fact, even though she thought and reacted like this, Jin Ye-seul recognized a man named Ivan Hunt in her own way.

Ivan Hunt, whom Jin Ye-seul thinks, is not as big as Yoo Ji-hyeok, but has a tall appearance, a personality that is not too chaotic, and has the power to lead others.

In addition to being a hero with strong powers himself, he was the young head of a noble family even though it was a fallen family, and he had a background called Belluna Hunt.

Since we had been in the same team since attending the academy, I knew very well that he was such a good person that it was hard to find among his peers.

Above all, even to Jin Ye-seul, Ivan Hunt was obsessed with her older sister, Jin-jeong, and she could see that Jin-jeong also had a heart for him.

However, there was another reason for her to ‘acknowledge’ Ivan Hunt in her own way.

“… … .”

A long time ago, Jin Ye-seul happened to find the two together quite by accident.

She dared to run at Ivan Hunt, who was taunting her sister, but she had to stop for a moment as she saw Jin-jeong sobbing.

It’s so hard and I’m sorry

She was telling Ivan that she was sorry for everyone, especially Jin Ye-seul and her family.

To her, Ivan bluntly began to tell her that she lost her father to the Seven Evils when she was young, and grew up like an orphan because of a bad relationship with her mother.

The two talked to each other and comforted each other, and Jin Ye-seul, who watched it, went back without a word.

And after that day, in her heart, maybe Ivan Hunt would be able to trust and entrust her… Little by little, little by little, my thoughts were growing.

“… sister.”

“Ah, yes. Yeseul… .”

Jin Ye-seul let out a few deep breaths.

Then she smiled brightly at her older sister, who looked at her anxiously.

“Sister, did you like kiwi? I bought some for my sister as a visiting gift.”

“… uh? Oh yes. Thank you, Yeseul.”

At the reaction that was different from what he expected, for a moment, Jin-jeong showed a look of bewilderment.

Yoo Ji-hyuk, who was silently holding Jin Ye-seul’s hand, and Ivan, who was nervous inside, sighed a little as if they were happy.

Jin Ye-seul couldn’t understand why she made such a decision herself.

Because she didn’t even know what she was thinking.

She just didn’t want to see her sister crying, and she didn’t even know if it was because she vaguely realized that it was Ivan, not herself, who could comfort her if she was crying just like that time.

Belluna, who was staring at him right next to him, smiled faintly.

She clapped loudly enough to make a clapping sound.

“Then I will go and bring you something to eat and drink. Why don’t the four of us talk privately?”

“Ah, then I… .”

“Let me do it, Miss.”

Towards Jinjeong, Belluna spoke in a quiet voice as if to taunt him.

“I think it would be better to talk to Yang Jeong-eun with her younger brother now.”

Jinjeong was silent for a moment at her words, and then slowly nodded her head.

Belluna smiled and then approached Yoo Ji-hyuk and held out her hand.

“Can you give it to me?”

“Ah, here it is. It’s a little heavy, so be careful.”

“Heh heh, even if it looks like this, I can throw an elephant and walk around.”

With a wry smile, she handed the basket.

Yoo Ji-hyeok, who looked at him, was able to realize that the gentle energy of the spirit was also flowing from Jin-jeong.

‘This is obviously… .’

I’ve encountered something similar before.

In Yoo Ji-hyuk’s mind, the image of Laune immediately came to mind.

His body was surrounded by layers of energy and protection from the spirits that Laune had spread out.

This was a kind of tacit rule for the spirits, but to put it bluntly, it could be seen as a declaration of war in the form of ‘This human was chosen by me, so if I touch it, it would be better to be prepared for my life’.

In other words, Belluna had spread her energy to Jin-jeong, just like Ivan.

It was a part that showed how much she puts her heart into Jin-jeong.

“uh?”

Jin Ye-seul, who came close to Ivan, whispered something to him, and Yoo Ji-hyuk, who was looking at Ivan’s face with a bitter smile, was startled and surprised at the moment when he heard her whisper.

… Come to think of it, where the hell did Laune go?

“Laune?”

The Laune, which had been in his pocket as usual just before, had disappeared.

He immediately closed his eyes and began to search for Raune’s energy.

It wasn’t long before he was able to find the trace of Laune he was looking for.

Laune was with Belluna.

* * *

“… … .”

“Oh? It’s been a long time, comrade. I noticed it, but I thought I was tired, so I didn’t say hello… .”

“… … .”

“No, I didn’t feel bad. After all, this isn’t even my area. After all, we are both guests.”

“… … .”

“Fufu, be polite.”

Belluna, who was skillfully peeling the fruit, looked up at Laune who was looking up at her with a smile on her face.

“So, did you have something to do with me, so you left the side of Yoo Ji-hyuk, whom I like, and came all the way here?”

“… … .”

“Is there something you want to ask? to me?”

Laune nodded and nodded.

Then, he folded his arms and looked at Belluna with a determined look, but Belluna waved her hand saying it was okay to express her intention to remove even her own roots in return if she wanted to.

“It’s okay, comrade. Please accept my help as just friendship and favor towards you.”

“… … .”

Laune once again expressed her gratitude.

What on earth do you want to ask? Belluna, who was smiling, was a little embarrassed by the question Laune had uttered for a moment.

“… yes?”

“… … ? … … .”

Laune said the same thing once more, wondering if Belluna had not heard it properly.

Han Soo-young and Lee Yu-na, whom she recognized at least, a dark-haired shadow woman, a woman with the energy of the World Tree, and finally a woman with horns and a tail that embraces the energy of the Seven Evil Orders.

What these five people had in common was that they were rogues and intruders who wanted to invade their territory. Another thing they had in common was that they sometimes hugged Yoo Ji-hyeok and did something without even knowing they were watching.

When asked what the action was and what the action meant, Belluna dyed her face red without realizing it.
