Let’s write when we write (3)
Silence continued for a while.
Kang Jun-mo then burst into admiration.
-uh? Could this really be possible?
“Haha, right? So, do you know how to get steroids? I heard that it’s a specialized medicine…”
-Oh, it’s an anabolic steroid, and I can get it. Hunters also buy a lot of steroids and drugs.
“Hey, there’s nothing you can’t do. Agent is the best.”
-Haha what?
“And I’m thinking of getting some supplements and feeding them to my clones. Can I get them?
-I’ll get that too.
“yes. thank you.”
-yes. And today the hunt is also going well. The hunting ground…
After receiving a brief report about hunting from Kang Jun-mo, Sang-woo finished the phone call.
‘Your magic power is also bad, but now you want to lose your strength too? It is expected.’
When I was so full of anticipation.
A message came from Ha-yeon.
-[Hayoni]: Sir, I had a lot of fun today haha
-[Hayoni]: Go inside safely!
-[Hayoni]: ?(???????)?
The message was cute, so Sang-woo smiled happily.
‘Yeah, I had a lot of fun too.’
Sang-woo’s hands became busy as he moved to and from his smartphone to reply.
* * *
The next day.
When Kang Jun-mo came to pick up the alter egos in the afternoon, he immediately brought the steroid product.
There was also a box full of supplements.
The steroid was in the form of an ampoule, but it was said that it could be used in the form of injection through a syringe.
“Hunter, but I found out while looking for steroids, and they say that if you just take steroids, all of your involuntary muscles will be strengthened and your body can become bloated.”
“Involuntary muscles?”
“Yes, things like internal muscles that people can’t move at will. Sometimes, if you look at hunters or bodybuilders who overdose on steroids, their abs protrude even though they are muscular, right? It is said that it is because the internal muscles of the stomach are also strengthened. In addition to that, the heart muscle is strengthened, so blood pressure rises, and there is a risk of tearing blood vessels. However, since these things make the muscles stronger, it is a little vague to call them side effects… So I think I will have to prescribe while adjusting the dose.”
“Ah… I’ll have to be careful.”
“So, what I brought here is a steroid developed to act first only on the injected area. It is the newest product favored by hunters.”
“Oh good? But it will be expensive.”
“Yes, it is 1 million won per piece.”
“…”
“The cost will be deducted from the hunting fee~”
“… Yes.”
Afterwards, only two of the three steroids brought were split into alter ego #12 and injected.
Alternate No. 3 was not injected separately because it was going to train mana breathing.
The parts were distributed little by little on the chest, back, upper arms, thighs, and calves.
Sang-woo puts on steroids and looks at his alter egos.
However, visually, there was no significant difference from before taking steroids.
“Do you want to exercise now?”
“I think it’s okay to do health, and hunting uses the body, so I think it’s okay to return to hunting.”
“Then let’s stick to our usual schedule. And it’s Chuseok from tomorrow. Agent can’t even rest…”
“It’s okay. What is Chuseok? You have to make money while you can.”
“You are amazing. haha. Then, please take good care of the agents.”
“Yes, I understand. I’ll contact you if there’s anything special!”
Kang Jun-mo left with his alter ego No. 12.
Kang Joon-mo heads to the hunting ground with his alter egos in the back seat and the radio on.
I smiled as I looked at the alter egos looking straight ahead without moving in the rearview mirror.
“Aigoo~ I’m so pretty, I’m just going to die. Let’s do well today, clones~” Since
they were making a profit of several million won a day these days, the clones had no choice but to look pretty, if not a lump of money.
So even though I was driving on my way to work, I naturally hummed.
Kang Jun-mo sings along to the music on the radio.
“… Let’s play with all the super specials~ Let’s play with all the super specials~ Let’s play with all the super specials
. ”
Breaking news started playing on the radio.
「…It is unfortunate to give you bad news on Wednesday, the day before Chuseok. As of the present time, a city-level disaster warning has been issued in South Korea. Many people are on their way home for Chuseok, but rather than spending Chuseok, please locate as close to the shelter as possible. This city-level disaster warning will be maintained for three months…”
The breaking news was about the city-level disaster warning.
When Kang Jun-mo heard the news for the first time, he was taken aback.
“uh? City-level disaster warning?”
Come to think of it, the highway that should have been congested on the way home for Chuseok was exceptionally quiet.
Kang Jun-mo, whose complexion hardened, immediately contacted Sang-woo.
* * *
Sang-woo got a call from Jun-mo Kang and learned about the disaster warning.
But now he was heading to Bucheon, his hometown, by taxi.
‘If there’s a disaster warning, I’ll be with my family even more. We spend Chuseok together. And you don’t know when a disaster might happen, but you can’t just stay at the shelter.’
If all citizens give up their livelihoods just because a disaster warning has been issued on the Korean Peninsula, the country will inevitably be paralyzed.
Hospitals treat patients, police catch criminals, and individuals must do their jobs to sustain life and society.
After all, even knowing there was a disaster, people had no choice but to work.
Because I have to eat right now.
Besides, it’s a three-month warning that’s undetermined when it will go off.
And Sang-woo had bought a set of Korean beef that he hadn’t thought about buying because he was full yesterday, so he stayed alone in his room and went to the shelter.
‘Even though he’s F-class, he’s a hunter, so hiding in a shelter is funny.’
So, I decided to make the alter ego No. 3, who was breathing mana, a bodyguard and was on my way home.
Just in case, No. 3 was equipped with several magazines, one each for a pistol and a bayonet, but it was short, so it was not obvious from the outside whether he was wearing the equipment.
Eventually, Sang-woo and alter ego number 3 arrive at the apartment where the family lives.
I went up the elevator and unlocked the door.
Beep-
“Mom, I’m here.”
Sang-woo entered the hallway with No. 3 and was taking off his shoes when someone ran out of the room with a do-do-do sound.
“Oh- brother! Hello, brother?”
“hi.”
“Has your brother lost weight? uh…?”
It was Sang-woo’s younger brother Jung Ji-woo.
Jiwoo, who is a freshman in high school this year, has yet to lose some breast fat, so her cheeks are cute and cute, but she looks full of her unique playfulness.
I was a bit surprised to see that Sang-woo had lost weight.
At that time, Ji-woo found the alter ego #3 behind Sang-woo.
“…Are my eyes weird? Why does my brother look like two?”
“What are the two? I am alone.”
Sang-woo, who had a playful spirit, responded like that.
“There is one more person who looks just like my brother behind me. I can not see?”
“What is behind it? do you have anything? mom! I’m here.”
While Sang-woo looked around and said that, he took off his shoes and entered the living room.
While I was looking for my mother with a set of Korean beef and red ginseng in one corner of the living room, Sang-woo’s mother, Mrs. Lee Ae-sook, appeared in the kitchen.
She was holding a basket of rice cakes in her arms as if she was making rice cakes.
“Hey, my son, are you here? My cheeks are getting thinner.”
“uh. mom i’m hungry Anything to eat?”
“I made sikhye. Eat sikhye~”
In the meantime, Jiwoo’s complexion was turning pale.
It was because she kept seeing No. 3, who looked just like Sang-woo.
“Ear ghost…? Aaaaaa- Mom!”
My younger brother, Ji-woo, runs to his mother again.
While crying, she made a fuss about seeing her brother’s ghost.
Sang-woo, who was giggling, ordered No. 3 to enter the house.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mom! Look over there! ghost!”
“What can this girl see… Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Only then did Lee Ae-sook find number 3 next to Sang-woo.
She, too, was startled and threw the rice cake basket she was holding at No. 3.
Room 3’s clothes and the floor were covered with flour.
“Puhahahaha- I’m kidding mom. joke.”
After a while.
Sang-woo was diligently cleaning the flour scattered on the floor with a vacuum cleaner.
“son. So, your son became a Hunter, and this is a skill called clone magic, right?”
“Because it is.”
“Oppa, this person, isn’t this a person then?”
“uh. It seems to be a mana organism.”
“Wow, that’s really amazing!”
Ji-woo squeezed the cheeks of No. 3’s face and let it droop.
Long cheeks.
Although it must have been quite painful, No. 3’s expression did not change at all.
“Doesn’t this hurt? Even like this? Even like this?”
“stop. You are a sadist.”
“He’s a real person, but it could be that he’s just imitating his older brother.”
“Hey, I feel good because I think I’m right. If you torture your alter ego, you will die.”
“mom! My brother said he killed me!”
It was Ji-woo who told her mother right away.
While we were bickering, the doorbell rang.
“Talk bap-!”
“Yes, let’s go.”
Sang-woo went out and received the package.
The courier was the padding I ordered yesterday.
“Is it because it’s Chuseok? It’s already here.”
“Brother, what is that?”
“Old.”
Sang-woo threw a box at his younger brother.
“What if I suddenly throw it!”
“Then why don’t you give it to me?”
“It’s not like that.”
The younger brother began to open the box with expectant eyes.
And the white long padding that appeared!
“wow! Really pretty! Brother, are you giving this to me?”
“uh. I came and picked it up.”
“Oops! Thank you Aurabang! love you! Mom~ My brother bought me a padding!”
Lee Ae-sook was already surprised by the padding.
“It’s really classy~”
“Yeah Mom, don’t you know this brand? A very expensive dejaner.”
Looking around, the two mothers and daughters screamed when they saw the price tag attached to the padding.
“One million won?!”
“Brother… isn’t this too expensive?”
“Right, son. I think this is too extravagant. Let’s get a refund, okay?”
“are you okay. I earn a lot of money now. And I bought three of them.”
“what?”
“These boxes here are all padded. Mom and Dad off.”
“… Oh my God…”
Sang-woo opened the rest of the box and put some padding on his mother.
Suddenly, she tried on the padding and burst into tears.
“Is Mommy crying?”
“That’s right, mom, don’t cry.”
“No, don’t cry. It’s because I’m moved to think that my son has already grown up this much. Thank you son~ I will wear it well.”
“uh. And don’t be too moved because I’m going to buy another one for my mom next time. I’m bragging to the ladies that I bought it. Understand?”
“Yeah~”
Sangwoo’s family finished the padding presentation ceremony(?) in such a friendly way.
“But oppa didn’t buy padding?”
“uh? What am I going to buy later? But Mom, by the way, your relatives aren’t coming?”
“They say they can’t come this Chuseok because the disaster warning has gone down.”
Since Sang-woo’s house was a large house, relatives used to gather at Sang-woo’s house during holidays.
However, as the years went by, most of my relatives did not come, citing various reasons.
So these days, most of Sangwoo’s family were holding holiday ceremonies.
Because of this, Sang-woo’s mother had to prepare all the food by herself, so even though Sang-woo or Ji-woo helped her, the burden was very heavy on her.
“Then mom has to do all the food again.”
“It should be. Help me with mom’s work later~”
“Okay. What can I do, mom?”
Lee Ae-sook ordered Sang-woo to peel garlic.
Sang-woo tossed it to alter ego #3.
‘No. 3. Peel all the garlic cloves in that colander.’
Then, No. 3 began peeling the garlic one by one with clumsy skills.
Sang-woo, who had been sneaking a look at it without helping, was a bit frustrated, so he searched for tips on Chuseok food on his smartphone.
───────────────
< [Chuseok Honey Tip!] How to Peel Garlic Easily! >
───────────────
“Hey No.3, just watch this video. Garlic.”
Then, No. 3 started peeling the garlic with ease as per the video.
Because of the mechanical movement, it was over in an instant.
Afterwards, Sang-woo ordered No. 3 to help his mother prepare Chuseok food.
At first, I tried to simply prepare ingredients such as mincing garlic, trimming chives, or just chopping everything up.
Unexpectedly, No. 3 was very good at cooking.
Cooking No. 3, which was made by mechanically measuring and measuring the seasoning of ingredients according to the video, and calculating the baking time as well as the cooking time, was much better than I thought.
“Mom, let’s just leave the cooking to the alter ego and let’s rest.”
“Then do you do what your son says? But I’m a bit uneasy.”
“Just leave it. If it doesn’t taste good, why don’t you buy it? It’s Chuseok, so I need to rest.”
“Okay~”
Afterwards, Sang-woo left all the cooking to No. 3.
After watching cooking recipe videos floating on the Internet, they made meat bandits or steamed ribs with namul.
Then No. 3 started to cook on his own.
“Hey, your alter ego is doing a good job.”
“Then~ who is your alter ego?”
“Hoho, this Chuseok is comfortable thanks to my son~”
It was the moment when the burdensome holiday stress disappeared.
“Mom, let’s eat the Korean beef we bought for dinner later.”
“Yes, son~”
“But knowing that my relatives would come, I bought a large set of Korean beef, so there will be plenty left over. You have to eat it diligently before it loses its freshness.”
“Don’t worry brother. You can eat it all today.”
“You stop eating, pig.”
“what? pig? Are you okay?”
“Yeah, you fucking pig.”
“die!”
It was around the time that Sang-woo, his mother and younger sister were chatting while watching TV.
As time passed and it was evening, Sang-woo’s father Jung Sung-hyeon returned home from work.
He, too, was moved again by the fact that Sang-woo had bought padding, and brought out his favorite drink at dinner.
“Now, take a drink.”
In front of the dinner table where Korean beef was sizzling, Sang-woo carefully raised a glass of wine and took a drink.
“For the happiness of our family!”
Families clinking glasses with an unfamiliar toast.
My mother and younger sister Ji-woo, who can’t drink, made a toast with drinks.
Sang-woo cautiously turned his head and gulped down his drink.
“Keuu-Dad, this is really bitter.”
Sang-woo quickly picked up the meat and ate it to get rid of the bitter taste.
“Dad eats some meat too, so it melts easily.”
“Yes, yes. Haha, did you try Yangju for the first time?”
“No, that’s not it. But this feels particularly sore throat.”
“It’s because the alcohol is strong. Instead, this kind of liquor is clean and there is no hangover. Grab another drink.”
Jeong Seong-hyeon, a father who is weak in drinking but still recommends drinking.
Soon after, his drunken grumbling followed.
“Yes, my father feels so good to hear that our son has succeeded. My dad, my mom, was pregnant with you, but there were monsters everywhere, so there was nothing to eat…”
Jeong Seong-hyeon talked about the difficult times during the cataclysm.
Again, since it’s the same repertoire, Sangwoo would have been annoyed with ‘Is that story again?’
‘Is it because I’ve earned some money now and can afford it? The atmosphere isn’t bad either. Dad, I’ll give you a lot of pocket money and make you feel good for a long time. That’s why you have to be healthy.’
So the drinking party lasted until late into the night.
morning that day.
A system message appeared in front of Sang-woo, who had fallen asleep drunk.
[Strength increased by 0.001]
[Strength increased by 0.001]
…
[Smash skill created]
[Strength increased by 0.001]
…
And the night sky of Bucheon.
Grabbing Jiji-
Something cracked in the air.
