Episode 189
How many students can call the principal to the club room whenever they want?
It would only be possible with the power of student council president Shin Ha-yoon.
However, the story was different if she had the absolute title of ‘Chairman’s granddaughter’ as the successor to Shinsung Group, the sponsor and supporter.
“principal! Here you go! here!”
For some reason, Kim Eun-ah was pointing at the corner with a face full of excitement, without her usual haughtiness.
“Install a portal here!”
To call the principal and install a portal in the club room out of nowhere. At Kim Eun-ah’s request, which deviated from common sense, Jin Byung-chul smiled while wiping his cold sweat with a handkerchief.
“Haha… Miss Eun-ah. Even so, portals aren’t air conditioners… they can be installed so easily…”
If it weren’t for the chairman’s granddaughter, I would have punished the opponent with a night of anger, saying ‘What nonsense are you talking about!’ was bad
‘A busy day like today…’
Jin Byeong-cheol smiled kindly as he recalled the grace of Shinsung Group, which was willing to lend even a test site worth several billion units.
“Miss Eun-ah. Portals aren’t everything just because they have equipment. In order for the portal to work, we also need to prepare the facilities. Such construction takes more than a few weeks…”
Jin Byeong-cheol laughed with a troubled face. Kim Eun-ah smiled and puffed herself up.
“I know that. I already told my mom and prepared a portal.”
“Oh no! You said you got the portal? You must get permission from the institution to receive it…. Just like receiving a kimchi refrigerator through some kind of portal…”
When Jin Byeong-cheol turned into a puzzled expression, Kim Eun-ah pretended that this much was nothing.
“So, I will pay the construction cost. How much does it cost?”
When Kim Eun-ah said that she had prepared the portal, Jin Byeong-cheol couldn’t help but laugh! He cleared his throat and showed Kim Eun-ah four fingers with his thumb folded.
“Four billion?”
“…No, I think it will be around 400 million won. At this distance, all you have to do is pull the portal zone’s equipment…”
“Oh, it’s cheaper than I thought. Then please do it now!”
Kim Eun-ah, who holds out a black card, and Jin Byeong-cheol, smiling with the smile of an adult, carving a seal of patience.
“That’s right. Miss Eun-ah. I’ll find out later today…”
400 million or 4 billion, an amount that makes your head complicated just by hearing it. Sumire looked at Kim Eun-ah and Jin Byung-chul in turn.
‘As expected, when it’s like this…’
Then, without saying anything, he sat on the sofa and laughed while drinking tea.
‘I need to be quiet!’
Under the leadership of Kim Eun-ah, the unimaginable construction work of installing a personal portal zone was underway in Shin Yoo-seong’s poor room.
* * *
Shin Yoo-seong lifts up Adela, who has sprained her feet and falls, like a princess.
Adela even had the illusion that Yoosung Shin’s hand, which touched her body, became hotter than warm.
[My heart beats very fast when I see you. …why is that?]
Adela thought that her feelings were strange and asked Shin Yoo-seong.
Why does my heart beat fast when I see you?
Does the whole body heat up just by being hugged?
Now Adela was not the ice empress who was at the pinnacle of Gaon.
She was just an ordinary girl with blushing cheeks, troubled by her first feelings.
“And being held like this…”
As evidence of that, Adela’s calm voice was gradually getting smaller.
“…I feel very ashamed.”
The curious thing was that even in the midst of being embarrassed, his eyes were still fixed on Shin Yoo-seong’s eyes.
“sorry. I’m worried.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who released Adela, lowered his head to match his height.
“Hunters’ extremely fast heartbeats are usually accompanied by dizziness.”
It was a common symptom for hunters who had fought. Most of the cases where mana is consumed to the limit are extreme situations. Hunters who repeated battles would send a danger signal to their bodies by rapidly secreting adrenaline, a neurotransmitter, when their mana decreased.
‘As expected, Adela was overdoing it.’
Yooseong Shin looked at Adela with a worried expression. In a situation where emotions were intensified, mana consumption overlapped, so it was worth going to the body.
“Do you have a fever?”
Worried, Yuseong Shin put his hand on Adela’s forehead.
‘I can definitely feel the heat.’
Adela’s cheeks were gradually turning red, probably because of Shin Yoo-seong’s staring gaze while Shin Yoo-seong’s face was changing into a serious expression.
“Sir…”
Adela lifted the egg she was holding and covered her face involuntarily.
Adela couldn’t figure out why she was doing this or why her forehead was hot and her face was red. Just the fact that Adela now can know.
“Shin Yuseong. …Are you handsome?”
Shin Yoo-seong, seen up close, is handsome enough to embarrass even Adela, who was insensitive. Adela felt that fact only today. Shin Yoo-seong smiled awkwardly at Adela’s sudden praise.
“Adela …I will never forget this. If you need my help. tell me anytime.”
If it wasn’t for the help of Adela and Aden, Shin Yoo-seong would not have been able to protect the egg of Sardonyx.
The Sardonyx Egg is a unique artifact and national treasure. Yooseong Shin saved a lot of damage thanks to Adela.
In response to Shin Yoo-seong’s sincere story, Adela reveals her hidden face.
“okay. …But as promised, it’s enough to share the 10th floor of the tower.”
Adela returned to her usual voice before she knew it, and continued to speak calmly.
“Because there are not enough people on the 10th floor to clear with one party.”
“But that’s what both parties need. Can’t you just ask for a favor?”
At the story of Shin Yoo-seong, Adela nodded with an expressionless face as usual.
“…okay.”
Through this incident, Adela has received a kind of debt from Yoosung Shin. Adela looked up at Shin Yuseong and smiled lightly.
“Then the two of us. So you owe each other?”
Adela’s rare smile.
It was the look Aden wanted and wanted so much, but it was Shin Yoo-seong who took possession of that smile.
However, Shin Yoo-seong quickly changed to a puzzled expression.
“Adela owes me?”
He thought that it was Adela who helped him with this matter.
But what about debt to each other?
Adela muttered in a low voice at the appearance of Shin Yoo-seong.
“Have you already forgotten? On days when you want to cry, I will stand by your side. …didn’t you promise?”
Adela was still expressionless, but Shin Yoo-seong was somehow able to read Adela’s mood.
“Don’t forget next time. Yoosung Shin. On days when you are sad…you always call me.”
Adela’s reaction is cuter than I thought.
“huh. I promise you, Adela. Please stay by my side on days like that.”
Shin Yoo-seong also felt good about the distance he was clearly getting closer to Adela.
I felt like a true colleague who shared a heart, not just a party member who shared the Sardonyx Raid.
“then. Let’s go back.”
Adela, who had been flustered just before, had disappeared and started walking as if nothing had happened.
“Hey Shin Yoosung, I have a favor for you.”
Not long after Adela started walking, she spoke to Yoosung Shin in a calm voice.
“…Suddenly, Shin Yoo-seong, I feel like holding hands with you. Are you okay?”
Adela is so candid and sincere about wanting to hold hands. Yooseong Shin would have been willing to accept that kind of request if it were Adela who saved the eggs of Sardonyx.
“are you okay. However much.”
Adela caught Shin Yoo-seong’s hand up to the pod and grabbed it tightly.
Let the cold hand from using cold air touch Shin Yoo-seong’s hand. Adela felt better at the warmth.
Maybe it wasn’t just because her hands got cold that Adela liked warm hot packs. As evidence of that, Adela’s feelings, which had been frozen 10 years ago, were melting little by little only today.
‘…hot pack. I won’t need it today.’
Somehow, it feels like Shin Yoosung wants to do more things. Adela, who gently hugged Al, held Shin Yoo-seong’s hand and gave strength to the other hand.
“Then, I will ask you again next time.”
