Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 269

269 – Storm (8)

Han Jae-joong somehow managed to wake up the crazy woman in kimono who was not only trying to do the dogeza, but was also trying to commit seppuku, and Han Jae-joong started dating again.

I wanted to go back again, but I held back because I thought I would have to see that seppuku show again.

How servile that person is. When we first met, I would say ‘Ohhohoho!’ like a noble lady. He was the one who laughed.

Of course, I know it’s just acting and my real personality is close to what I am now.

Han Jaejoong looked back.

“What do you want to eat?”

“As expected, sushi? It’s sushi, right? Our benefactor has such good taste in food. “Go to the sushi place!”

“Go~!”

Even as the two older sisters were holding on to both of Han Jaejoong’s arms and moving forward, Mitsuki was carefully following him a few steps behind.

His face was as red as a cherry blossom, perhaps from the heat or embarrassment, and he occasionally glanced at Han Jaejoong, who was ahead of him, and quickly looked away.

Feeling sorry for his timid appearance, and the distance was a bit far, Han Jaejoong stretched out his hand for a moment.

“You don’t have to be so far away.”

“Oh, no! I… I like this. Wow, the original Yamato Nadeshiko… Ah, so the ideal image of a woman in my country means a prim and proper woman who follows her husband three steps behind…”

“That distance is farther than three steps.”

“Well, but me! Hey, I like this! “It’s such a joy to be so close…”

“…If that’s the case.”

Han Jaejoong walked again.

“You can come closer anytime. “You said it was a date, but it seems like you’re acting separately when you’re apart like this.”

“Yes, yes….”

Mitsuki answered softly, covering her face with her sleeves as if embarrassed.

“Oh~ But why is Han so good at Japanese?”

“that’s right. “Is everything working?”

“Because I’m an otaku.”

“Hey lie.”

“Are you pretending to be an otaku and cosplaying as a herbivore man (a man with no interest in dating)? Be sneaky~”

It’s true. Han Jaejoong felt aggrieved while listening to the two sisters giggling.

So they walked down the road.

A street heated by the summer sun. By the time beads of sweat formed on my forehead and flowed down my chin, wetting the floor.

After the two sisters’ clever guidance, Han Jaejoong arrived at a restaurant. A restaurant in a small building with no sign.

Is it simpler than I thought? He entered the store with that thought in mind, and Han Jaejoong realized right away that he was mistaken.

Luxurious wooden dining table and soft lighting. Clean sanitary conditions and minimalistic interior. The unique atmosphere of a high-end restaurant put pressure on him.

[Oh, just looking at it, it’s a place where each person breaks by several dozen? Wow, I’m jealous!]

Spica laughed and circled around Han Jaejoong.

“It’s been a while~!”

“Hey, I can’t come except for birthdays or anniversaries! After all, our princess! “I hope you spend your money wisely!”

The two sisters quickly sat down and gave a compliment to the chef and Mitsuki.

Perhaps because we had already made a reservation, the chef didn’t look embarrassed or even try to take our order, but started preparing quickly.

Han Jaejoong sat down, suppressing an uncomfortable feeling. Next to him was Mitsuki, who was the last to enter.

When I looked at the chopsticks and tableware, they all looked expensive.

‘What would have happened if I had said I wouldn’t eat sushi?’

A penalty for breach of contract would be no joke in a situation like this. When I asked Mitsuki that question, Mitsuki smiled and denied the anxiety.

“ah. That’s okay. I made reservations at nine more stores in case it wasn’t to my taste. “I’m glad the sushi suits your taste.”

Ever since the sea became infested with monsters, the price of seafood has skyrocketed. If you go out on a boat, you will be attacked by a monster and die. No one wanted to do a job with a 100% mortality rate.

Fishing has become virtually banned. It has become impossible to go out to the nearby sea, let alone the deep-sea fishing boats that existed in the past.

But humans always find answers.

Fish farms were the answer.

In addition to the aquarium, a territory was designated and the sea was managed by magical girls killing monsters within the sea, and seafood was grown within it.

Due to the limited quantity and high management costs, marine products in general became a luxury food, but as a result, mankind did not lose the ability to cook fish.

Sushi is even more luxurious among high-class cuisines. In a way, it was natural as fresh seafood became scarce.

‘This place is the highest quality among them….’

How about a few tens? Looking at the number of people, if you do well, it will be even a few hundred.

And that too in yen, not won.

It is also not polite to refuse an offer of hospitality. However, eating this expensive dish alone pricked my conscience.

‘I’m sorry to Seolhwa and Ayun…’

Still, I can’t resist bragging. I will trick you later. Jaejoong Han smiled brightly as he made that promise.

Feeling grateful, I looked to the side and saw Mitsuki sighing with a very nervous look on her face. Sweat was beading on his forehead, and the back of his neck was hot.

“Whoa….”

Well, it must be hot to wear clothes like that in late summer.

“Sorry, can I get some ice water?”

“yes.”

Han Jaejoong took the ice water and handed it to Mitsuki.

Mitsuki, whose hand touched the glass filled with ice water, was startled and lowered her head repeatedly. Han Jaejoong waved his hand saying it was okay and waited leisurely for his food.

“Oh….”

“Hoo….”

The two sisters observed them with interest.

“Hey Han, what is it that you like about Mitsuki that made you save us?”

“yes?”

“I was curious. “What was their intention in saving our princess and promising future compensation in that busy battlefield?…”

“Haha, I didn’t mean to.”

This is a doubt that any family member can fully harbor. Because most favors have a reason. Especially in today’s world, it is normal to think that favors may have negative intentions.

‘That’s why I saved you…’

To be honest, there was no such thing at the time.

Of course, there is no particular need for a reason to save others.

However, if you ask me to talk about something worth saving, I can talk for tens of minutes.

To Han Jaejoong, a magical girl was that kind of being.

After gathering his words for a moment, Han Jaejoong opened his mouth.

“Aren’t you proud? He created an appearance of high self-esteem by embellishing his words and actions so that others could feel at ease when looking at him. Instead of shying away from the great responsibility that comes with great power, he proudly shouldered it. He doesn’t shy away from unpleasant or scary tasks and does his best in everything he does. First of all, he has a great personality.”

“Yeah, and?”

“Moreover, she is a very valuable talent. Just looking at the number of people saved and monsters defeated, this city would be full. It will continue to be that way. Isn’t that enough of a reason to save it? Of course, it is not only for this reason.”

I didn’t think about this kind of calculation when I bought it.

“I just thought people like her needed compensation. How terrible it is that she tried and she got no reward. From her childhood until now, she has tried her best. She has been fighting to survive, to save someone else’s life. While others were going to school, she went to the battlefield and got blood on her hands instead of graphite. “She deserves happiness more than anyone else.”

Mitsuki took a deep breath.

“Of course, you too. “Because you have made such a commitment.”

Han Jaejoong was sincere. I was still dissatisfied with girls at this young age going into battle.

“Oh, are you flirting with us too?”

“It’s a bad habit for you magical girls to think that anything you say is flirting.”

“Magical girl? Hmm… did you say this to anyone? Our benefactor was Casanova. I see….”

“You’re not listening to me.”

All pure kindness is replaced with rational love. How poor are the emotions exchanged in modern society to create such misunderstandings? Han Jaejoong shook his head.

There are various forms of love in the world, not just rational love.

Isn’t the old teaching about loving one’s neighbor also saying that one should have s*x with one’s neighbor?

“What if you say you protect love and peace but interpret all love that way?”

“ha ha ha. It’s a joke! joke! “Ah, to be serious~”

Mika slapped his shoulder and laughed. Her hands are spicier than she thought. Han Jaejoong let out a silent cry and grabbed her shoulder.

Because of the pain, I couldn’t see the side of my face.

He didn’t know that Mitsuki, whose face was so red that he thought she might be sick, was still gulping down ice water.

**

After lunch, Nozomi and Mika left.

“It was good, princess!”

“We’ll just leave!” Have a nice rest of your date~”

I guess I just came here to get a really expensive meal.

“I think I can entrust our princess to Hangun!”

“Treat me well~!”

“Hey, don’t say anything weird and go quickly!”

Mitsuki shouted loudly. The two sisters laughed and quickly disappeared into the station.

“Uh, uhm, sorry for being vulgar for a moment….”

“…It wasn’t vulgar.”

“My older sister has a strong temperament to show off… She probably came to see if her benefactor is a trustworthy person. I really have no shame. “I told him several times that it was okay and that he was a kind person…”

No, I think I came here to eat sushi.

Han Jaejoong held back what he wanted to say and answered.

“So what do you think of the evaluation?”

“Of course that’s a perfect score! “Because you are my benefactor and no one else!”

Where did that timid attitude go? Mitsuki strongly declared. Perhaps he was embarrassed for making a loud noise, Mitsuki quietly avoided his gaze.

“Well, shall we go then?”

I laughed, discreetly covering my mouth with my sleeve.

That smile was beautiful though.

[Oh fuck, that’s the laugh that Polaris b*tch used.]

“….”

It was not a smile that left a very good impression on Han Jaejoong.

“It’s finally time for just the two of us. i look forward to.”

After bowing his head politely, Mitsuki guided Han Jaejoong.

Anyway, this time there was no one to lead Han Jaejoong like the two older sisters, so this time Mitsuki walked in front of Han Jaejoong.

Han Jae-joong had no reason to stay away from her, so he walked with a one-step distance between her.

“Are we closer now? Am I comfortable?”

When I asked that question, there was no answer. Instead, the back of her neck and even the pinna of her ears were seen turning red.

“Is it hot?”

“….”

“Where are we going? Oh, is that the big department store over there?”

“….”

“Hmm… I’ll be there soon. “It’ll be a little cooler inside.”

While walking, Han Jaejoong spoke unilaterally. Mitsuki was so nervous that she couldn’t open her mouth.

“Um, I… I… I’m so sad that I don’t know what to answer… I’m so, so scared that I’ll be rude…”

“are you okay. You can answer slowly. “I’m just saying this because I’m bored.”

Han Jaejoong noticed her condition and told her that it was okay.

After walking for a few minutes, we reached the department store.

“Woah, it’s here! The best luxury store in Japan! Just say anything! I will take responsibility and give it all. Oh, oh hohoho!”

When she arrived at her destination, she somehow gathered her pride, which was flowing like a grain of sand, and laughed out loud.

Even though it was a luxury store in the center, there was no one around.

“…Have you rented the house?”

“yes that’s right. So that you don’t feel uncomfortable, this will be our own space for today, right? Feel free to look around!”

Oh, that’s even more uncomfortable.

It was clear that if he spoke, he would get hurt, so Han Jaejoong kept his mouth shut.

[Once upon a time, I said the line, ‘Please give me everything from here to there too.’ Now it’s your turn.]

Spica said.

‘How did you live like that?’

[It all became trash.]

‘I see….’

Hearing those words that discouraged him from the start of shopping, Han Jaejoong walked along the path led by Mitsuki.

Unfortunately for Mitsuki, Han Jaejoong had no interest in luxury goods.

I thought my thoughts would change once I had capital, but as time passed, I realized that wasn’t the case.

“This suit….”

“I already received something from headquarters.”

“How about this watch?”

“Can’t I just look at the clock on my smartphone?”

“It’s such a work of art!”

“I have nowhere to put it at home.”

“Okay, then a bag!”

“I don’t have anything to carry around with me on a regular basis?”

“Wow, these traditional clothes….”

“Wearing this in Korea is a bit…”

There was no interest in any object.

I don’t particularly hate luxury itself. Because that might be fun for some people. As long as it is not excessive, it will be sufficient compensation.

However, his deep-rooted sense of being a commoner made him disallow luxury. For someone who had been indebted to others since childhood, expensive items bought by others only aggravated his guilt and did not bring him happiness.

“Yeah, that’s right! “I’d rather buy all the items on this floor and send them to you…”

“I said there’s nowhere to put it. And it’s difficult to treat.”

In the end, Mitsuki’s gift offensive failed.

Mitsuki fell while sighing and going downstairs again. The laces of her shoes were untied.

“Ayat.”

Jaejoong Han sat Mitsuki down on a nearby bench. She lowered her head and looked disappointed to anyone who saw her.

“…sorry.”

“Uh… what?”

“It was definitely a date… but it all failed. “The sisters came and made things difficult for us when we first met, and I couldn’t find a gift that suited my benefactor’s taste… In the end, I wasted my benefactor’s time…”

“What’s wrong, it was fun.”

Jaejoong Han bent his knees and made eye contact with Mitsuki, who bowed her head.

“The sushi was delicious. It was quite nice to look at luxury goods. It’s a bit difficult for me to write it myself, but there are a lot of pretty things, probably because it’s a luxury product. “I don’t know, but there are a lot of things that suit you, Mitsuki.”

What immediately occurred to him was a sense of duty to comfort him. She is the best magical girl in Japan, and everyone praises her as their princess, but Tsuna is hurt because she was not able to give her her best gift.

Maybe it was because I met my sisters in person, but I didn’t want to hurt the girl they cared about.

“And look. I keep using informal language with you right now. Me, you feel so comfortable. You too, right? Now you don’t feel awkward even when you’re this close. Haha, isn’t this the first time we’ve talked like this for this long, other than when we were talking about scorpions?”

More than anything, I just didn’t want to do that.

“I became friends with Japan’s biggest star, wouldn’t it be a good time?”

Han Jaejoong said that and laughed. Mitsuki’s eyes widened.

“It didn’t work out today. “There is more time later.”

“…Later, again?”

“Yeah, come back later.”

“Is it okay if we go out together like this again?”

“Uh… if it’s okay with you?”

At that moment, tears welled up from the corners of Mitsuki’s eyes. Before Jaejoong Han could take out her handkerchief in embarrassment, she wiped away her tears by rubbing her crying eyes.

From noble mtl dot net

“How can you be such a kind person…”

Mitsuki looked up at him with ecstatic eyes.

At that moment, Han Jaejoong noticed that the air current had changed unusually. When he was a student, he sometimes felt this current.

While they were talking about something trivial, a serious pink color suddenly mixed into the air.

“Uh, benefactor… I have a favor to ask.”

When that happens, the other person usually makes strange requests or declarations.

“If I have to return the favor someday, can you still be by my side?”

It was mostly a confession.

“Uh, that’s… I mean.”

“No, it’s Silver Luna. As someone who is respected by everyone, I cannot make such a lukewarm suggestion. “Let me ask you another favor!”

My friend, who had been very timid until just a moment ago, suddenly became a woman and went straight ahead.

“Will you continue to stay with me in the future?!”

It’s like a wind blowing with rain.

“Please date me on the condition that you marry me!!!”

It was a rush like a storm.

**

“Don’t you have parents too?”

“Don’t talk to me.”

Amundsen was sick of that white woman. There are many sailors who have been harmed by that woman.

Some people shed tears, some scream, and some join in and harass the crew. After all, the last one is the captain of this ship, so the hardships are not that great.

Amundsen was one of the few people who could not understand her glibness and was in charge of monitoring her.

“Didn’t everyone say they have no parents? “Then you don’t have one either?”

“I told you to shut up. “Fuck you, why can’t I cover my mouth?”

Most people were of the opinion that it was too much to tie their hands and feet and even cover their mouths. I couldn’t understand why they were being considerate when they had already taken hostage.

“I don’t have parents either! So aren’t we friends? What are you doing with your friends? Are you upset?!”

Amundsen made a promise.

He said that he would not be shaken no matter what happened.

“I am from an orphanage! “If I hadn’t been caught here, I would have been there by now!”

Haru shouted.

“…orphanage?”

Amundsen asked back in a trembling voice.

A storm was approaching.
