Episode 222:
52 minutes left until the appointed time.
Shin Yoo-sung and Sumire arrived at the Shin-o family’s mansion early in the morning.
“then. Would you like to spend the rest of your time exploring the mansion? I can guide you if you want.”
Took.
A guild member wearing a suit opened the door and asked politely, but Shin Yoo-seong gave a brief reply.
“it’s okay.”
No matter how much it had been ten years since he left this mansion, Shin Yoo-seong did not need a guide.
“All right. Enough then…”
Yooseong Shin let the guild members leave. Sumire and I slowly walked around the mansion. The Shin-O family returned after a very long time, and it was as if time had stopped.
A statue of a lion that welcomes those who enter. If you walk along the wall of the mansion to the left, you will see a small pond. The colorful koi living in the pond.
“Wow… the carp is huge.”
Sumire deliberately spoke to Shin Yoo-seong, who hadn’t opened her mouth since coming to the mansion. However, Shin Yoo-seong only answered yes with a faint voice, which was far from his usual friendly response.
Bubbly. widely.
Yooseong Shin stopped at a large tree by the pond. And I looked around. The scenery here was as if time had stopped.
But it wasn’t just time here that seemed to have stopped.
Swoop.
Shin Yooseong put his hand on a large tree and closed his eyes. Saaa – Between the pleasantly blowing winds.
[Why….]
The black ‘something’ that I can’t even remember the face of now spoke in a crackling voice like a broken radio.
[Was such a defective product born among 7th-level hunters?]
[That’s right. But what can I do? It’s my luck.]
To Shin Yoo-seong, who was young, the stories of adults were absolute. Shin Kang-yoon’s reduced talk. Yoo Min-seo’s cold gaze made him feel that all of this was his fault.
if.
if you are better If you were born with a talent that wouldn’t be called a defective product. If that’s the case…
Whenever he had such thoughts, Shin Yoo-seong would run away under this tree.
Hide yourself behind a large tree.
If you bury your face in your knees.
At least for that moment, I felt cozy in a quiet world.
“Sumire.”
Shin Yoo-seong calls out to Sumire while removing his hand from the tree. Sumire, who had just been waiting for Shin Yuseong, answered with a brightened expression.
“yes! Mr. Yoosung!”
“sorry. I must have thought deeply without even realizing it. Being back here… Yeah. It’s been 12 years.”
Sumire, who was relieved when Yooseong Shin smiled as usual, was surprised with her eyes widening as usual.
“Huh! Twelve years?”
okay. 12 years.
It was 12 years ago that I found out about my own characteristics. It was 12 years ago that it was abandoned as an orphanage. It was 12 years ago that his teacher, King Kwon, took such Shin Yuseong.
Sumire, who was quick-witted, looked at Shin Yoo-seong’s expression and became more cautious.
“okay. 12 years…”
However, Sumire did not ask why Shin Yoo-seong hadn’t returned to the Shin-wu family once for 12 years.
He didn’t even say that he didn’t want to see his family for 12 years.
It was really Sumire-like consideration.
“Even though it was a long time ago, this place is still the same. Especially… I used to sit back and read under this tree.”
Shin Yuseong laughs and sits next to a tree as if comparing himself to his childhood self. Sumire said hehe- and laughed.
“Whoops, I don’t think your entire body is covered now, right?”
Swoop.
Let Sumire carefully sit next to her. Shin Yuseong spoke calmly, in the same tone as usual.
“I guess so. Because he is so much bigger than when he was 5 years old.”
Careful but delicate attitude.
Shin Yoo-seong was able to feel the caring heart in Sumire’s words, avoiding heavy stories as much as possible. Yooseong Shin has a question about Sumire.
“…Sumire. What kind of existence is family to you?”
Yoosung Shin has already seen Sumire’s family. Joining them at their table, I confirmed to Sumire what kind of family they are.
Nevertheless, Yooseong Shin wanted to know what Sumire thought of the existence of her family through Sumire’s mouth.
“Umm…”
However, Sumire pondered for a while whether Shin Yoo-sung’s question was difficult.
“To me, family…. no matter what happens to me, they are always on my side…. completely on my side! It’s the same thing!”
And because of that answer, Shin Yoo-seong was able to know.
“I see…”
The existence of strong family members who always stood by Sumire’s side was the reason why Sumire was able to have a warmer heart than anyone else despite the scars of ‘that incident’.
‘I think I understand.’
With Sumire’s answer, Shin Yoo-seong seemed to have clear his mind, which had been confused and confused.
Glance.
Sumire looked at Shin Yoo-seong’s face. Sumire was relieved only after seeing that her expression was much better than before.
“…It’s still autumn, but the weather is chilly.”
“huh. That’s right.”
Shin Yuseong put his hand on the back of Sumire’s hand, who was suffering from the cold.
“Uh….”
Sumire’s eyes widened and she turned her head toward Shin Yuseong. Sumire never avoids a sudden touch. Shin Yuseong looked at Sumire and called her name in a kind voice.
“Sumire.”
Kwak- Shin Yoo-
seong, who put his index finger on the back of his hand and between Sumire’s fingers, said in the same calm voice as usual.
“Then you must be family to me.”
Shin Yoo-seong thought so.
no matter what happens to you
Sumire and the party members are completely on my side to reach out to me.
Did that heart go through?
Sumire flinched – her mouth trembled for a moment, then nodded with a red face.
“That’s right. No matter what happens to Yooseong… I’m always on Yooseong’s side!”
Pod!
Raising her head and facing Shin Yoo-seong, Sumire did it legally for today. shouted proudly.
“Yoosung and I are family!”
Glitter.
Sumire’s eyes were especially bright today. Shin Yoo-seong, who was always strong, showed a weak appearance today, but Sumire rather had the heart to protect Shin Yoo-seong.
“…Sumire.”
Shin Yoo-seong emptied his mind and smiled.
“Yoosung!”
Sumire creeps closer with a very happy face.
* * *
10 minutes before the appointment time.
As soon as Sumire entered the mansion of the Shin-O family, she burst into pure admiration.
“Wow, that’s amazing…. Artifacts that are hard to find even in a museum are displayed like this…”
In the glass display case at the entrance, artifacts that are more valuable than any artwork or precious metal are listed, and explanations or classifications of where they were obtained are listed. was organized more systematically than most museums.
It was a bit ostentatious, but it was a part that showed the feat of the Shinno Guild in the Hunter world.
“That’s right. It has grown so much.”
The Shin-O family was originally called the ‘four major guilds’ and boasted great power, but even when Shin Yoo-seong left, they were not as wealthy.
This was proof that Shin Kang-yoon, the head of the household at the time, had tremendous talent.
“Even… this marble!”
fault!
Sumire pointed at the floor with her index finger. The inside of the mansion is covered with marble that reflects light. However, the ordinary marble at first glance was somehow different in Sumire’s eyes.
“It has the nature of mana! Besides, it’s just a stone, but judging from the fact that it maintains a constant temperature… Judging from the fact that it contains…” Seeing
Sumire lost in thought, the guild member who had been driving the limousine earlier laughed heartily.
“Haha, you have a great eye. you’re right. This is a marble made from the rock from the golem’s body. Thanks to that, it’s never cold and always warm.”
The marble made from the golem’s rock was extremely expensive, at best, even for something that could keep its temperature. If all the marbles on the floor of the mansion were added together, it was worth enough to build another mansion like this.
“Wow, so many of them… that’s awesome!”
The guild members seemed to have been excited thanks to Sumire’s good response, and they were excited and started talking even more.
“This is only part of the spoils of the Sinnoh Guild! There are over 12 museums under the umbrella of the guild! Only national treasure-level artifacts kept by the association…”
However, someone stopped the guild members who were excitedly chatting.
“stop.”
trudge.
Descending the spiral staircase from the second floor was Shin Ha-yoon, a familiar face by now.
“The explanation is good, but Yooseong must have been tired from coming all the way here. Shall we have a seat for now?”
smile.
Even though Shin Ha-yoon just smiled at those words, the guild members lowered their heads with a bewildered face.
“Oh, I’m sorry… I didn’t think of that.”
“no. But now I will guide Yooseong, so go.”
Shin Ha-yoon, who sent the guild members with a smile, talked to Shin Yoo-seong as he climbed the stairs.
“I never thought I would see you here again. Are you happy? My little brother.”
“Nothing will change by avoiding it, so I just wanted to solve it myself.”
A sense of distance that can hardly be narrowed despite being so close.
“I like anything. But… I didn’t expect this child to come.”
Shin Ha-yoon looked at Sumire with a cold gaze while smiling. Shin Ha-yoon didn’t seem to like it when an unexpected person attended an important event.
In the end, the embarrassed Sumire expressed her apology.
“Ah, I wanted to meet Yuseong’s family, so I asked for it on my own…”
Shin Ha-yoon gently shook her hand.
“No, it doesn’t matter~ There will be a friendly face before dinner. Let’s talk.”
However, Shin Ha-yoon was not a sewage enough to express his feelings in front of Shin Yoo-seong.
trudge.
As Shin Ha-yoon said, go up the spiral staircase to the second floor. Shin Yoo-seong also began to see familiar faces one by one.
“Is it really a meteor? Oh my god… how long has this been?”
Shin Mi-hyang, who held a fan and covered her mouth, boasted the beauty of a woman in her late 20s even though at most she was only 4 years younger than Shin Kang-yoon.
Even though more than 10 years have passed, Shin Yoo-seong’s appearance has not changed much from when he left.
However, Shin Mi-hyang’s attitude towards Shin Yoo-seong was very different from before.
“The more you grow up, the more you resemble Yoo Min-seo, right? They said you can’t lie about your bloodline~!”
Shin Mi-hyang was the one who told Shin Yoo-seong, who had F-class characteristics, why such defective products came out among 7th-class hunters.
But now the attitude has changed 180 degrees.
“ha ha ha! okay? In my opinion, this momentum and atmosphere! Just looking at it, he looks like our Shin Kang-yoon family head!”
Even her husband, Park Byeong-joon, let’s praise Shin Yoo-seong by mentioning her two parents.
“Oh, what are you talking about that Yooseong resembles my brother? My face just pulled out Yoo Min-seo
’s face and put it in.” Sumire silently grabbed Shin Yoo-seong’s hand as Shin Yoo-seong’s expression hardened.
back.
Then, Sumire carefully asked without making a single word.
‘Okay. okay eww. count. yo. this?’
Sumire was the only person who cared about Shin Yoo-seong, who was hardening in this vast mansion. Thanks to Sumire, Shin Yoo-seong was able to loosen his stiff expression and smile here too.
“yes. long time no see.”
