Episode 98
Sumire lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling.
“Ugh…”
Unable to sleep, Sumire tossed and turned. Sumire sighed and hugged the pillow tightly.
[listen carefully. The way to awaken the power of fragments… …is your ■■ mind. Do you understand?]
The words Laplace said floated around in Sumire’s mind.
‘…My heart.’
The important thing is Sumire’s heart.
However, I did not know what the evil witch wanted.
‘I just wanted to help Yooseong…’
To help Shin Yooseong.
Be strong yourself. That’s Sumire’s goal. It was really strange. Throughout her life, Sumire had never been particularly greedy.
However, when she thought of Shin Yoo-seong being happy, Sumire’s heart raced to the point of strangeness.
‘Mr. Yooseong…’
When he says that the food he made is delicious.
When the attack is finished and praised for doing well.
When you comfort yourself that you are lacking.
He’s always strong, but on a rainy day, he has a particularly lonely expression.
When you show a caring smile despite your lack of action.
Every moment Sumire thought of Shin Yuseong, her emotions changed. To Sumire, Shin Yoo-seong is a person who enjoys just thinking about it. So, it was natural to want to see him happy.
‘I…’
Around the time Sumire’s thoughts turned into strong aspirations.
‘I must…’
Sleeping Sumire’s right hand was shining without her knowledge.

11 am.
A noisy room where everyone gathers.
Sumire is cooking in the kitchen, and Kim Eun-ah is hugging a killer whale doll orca on the sofa.
Lee Si-woo yawns profusely because he spent the night grooming his gun.
Amy’s eyes are shining brightly to see if something good has happened.
‘Are you all used to being insolvent now?’
Shin Yoo-seong looked at the scene with satisfaction. The party members, who had gathered one by one, now included themselves and the number increased to five.
The party members who all believed in Shin Yoo-seong as the party leader and followed him. Thanks to that, Yoosung Shin felt a strong sense of responsibility.
“What would you all like to drink?”
Sumire shouted from afar. The party members who were doing different things spat out one word at a time.
“me? anything.”
Kim Eun-ah, who was still lying around with the orca, answered.
“I have black tea!”
Amy raises her hand while looking at her pocket.
“water.”
Siwoo Lee rubbing his eyes.
Sumire, who was in the kitchen, brought a plate full of rice balls.
“Snacks are here! And drinks…”
Sumire took care of the party members one by one in a familiar way. Yooseong Shin recalled a familiar scene from that scene.
‘I think I saw the same scene… in Japan.’
Maybe it was before eating with my younger siblings.
[sister! I have Coke!]
Suito raising her hand while shouting
Coke [Sister, I’m green tea!]
Suguha shouting for green tea with a smile.
[Wow, I really hate it. Who eats sukiyaki and green tea?]
[It doesn’t matter what other people eat?]
The current scene exactly overlapped with Shin Yoo-seong’s scene in Japan.
‘…It feels like Sumire takes good care of me.’
Let Shin Yoo-seong watch over Sumire. Sensing their gaze, Sumire glanced at Shin Yuseong.
“Ah, that Yooseong’s drink…is this right?”
What was in Sumire’s hand was banana milk with a straw stuck in it. Shin Yooseong smiled and accepted the banana milk.
“thank you. I just wanted to drink this.”
“Ah… as expected…”
Sumire smiles at the fact that she guessed right. Amy took an interest in Kim Eun-ah’s orca.
“But you, Eun-ah. What is this doll?”
Amy covered her hand and smirked. I poked Kim Eun-ah at the waist with my index finger.
“Yes? hurry! What is this! what! I think it happened during a festival. No way~ who gave it to you?”
tall.
Kim Eun-ah stopped holding a doll.
Kim Eun-ah sneakily looked into Shin Yoo-seong’s eyes and then turned around.
“It’s just that killer whales are cute.”
“Ayy, did you buy it yourself? Well, you~ I like cute things…”
Amy nodded. Eunah Kim put her hand on Orca’s head and narrowed her eyes.
“How do you know that?”
“Of course you know. First of all, you like me the most in Class A!”
Amy with a straight back and a confident posture. Kim Eun-ah was straight.
“what.”
“and! Honestly… I’m ashamed to say it with my own mouth. I think I’m on the cute side!”
Amy nodded with a serious face. Kim Eun-ah grabbed the orca and bit Amy’s arm.
Suwook!
Amy’s arm going deep into Orca’s mouth.
“…This goes into a lot. And did you make it very well?”
Let Amy marvel. Kim Eun-ah was feeling a subtle sense of pride.
“yes?”
Amy looked at her and smiled with an emotionless face.
“Hehe, but I’m glad~ I thought I would only stay at a cafe during the festival because it was annoying. You seem to have enjoyed yourself a lot? You’ve grown! Our Eun-ah!”
Let Amy fall into Kim Eun-ah’s arms. Kim Eun-ah couldn’t get rid of it easily. I looked at Kim Eun-ah, recalling Shin Yoo-seong’s past.
‘…that I’m weak against cute things. I think it’s true.’
Kim Eun-ah looked at Amy, clicked her tongue, and stroked Amy’s head with a face that couldn’t be helped.
Kim Eun-ah looks a little happy, although not as much as when she hugs Orca.
“What did you do?”
At Kim Eun-ah’s question, Amy suddenly raised her head.
“me? It was so much fun. The House of Horrors was a bit scary, but…”
Let Amy shudder. Sumire is proud of herself. Amy still smiled at Kim Eun-ah.
“And after the broadcast. Did you meet the student president? He was very kind to me! You say you’re a fan!”
“…Pan? huh?”
Kim Eun-ah’s reaction was cold.
Rather, Amy’s story made Shin Yoo-seong react.
“Amy. The student president… came to you?”
“yes? yes that’s right! The party leader asked me if I was doing well, and he did very well, and I liked it a lot! I came to praise you!”
Amy, whose eyes shine like a puppy, as if asking for praise.
‘…Nuna to Amy?’
However, Shin Yoo-seong’s expression became serious after hearing the story.
‘There is definitely an intention.’
Shin Ha-yoon, whom Yoo-seong Shin knew, was never someone who would come without a purpose.
* * *
Shinsung Group’s office.
The son of Kim Seok-han, who was called Iron Blood.
President Kim Seong-han asked Shin Ha-yoon while cleaning his glasses.
“I heard the story from your father. You’re running a pretty interesting business on campus, right?”
“Whoops, it’s nothing. It’s about attaching a fixer to people who need help.”
Shin Ha-yoon smiles leisurely even in front of Kim Seong-han. Kim Seong-han put on his glasses again and said to Shin Ha-yoon.
“…no need to be humble. I am calling you to help with your business.”
Kim Seong-han handed over the written list to Shin Ha-yoon.
“This is a list of guilds that will entrust you with a request. Among them are subcontractors, but also state agencies. …Now, I’ll leave most of the requests the students can take on to Gaon.”
“thank you. …You will never regret it.”
“What happened? Because your father is in debt. Let’s pay it back with this.”
After Kim Seong-han finished talking, let’s try to get up. Shin Ha-yoon called Kim Seong-han.
“Can we talk a little bit more? Student President… No. As Kim Eun-ah’s senior, there is something I want to tell you.”
Shin Ha-yoon’s smile.
It was a smile that made even Kim Seong-han, who had been through childbirth battles, feel terrified.
“…About Eun-ah?”
“It’s exactly a story about confrontation. Hehe, he must be a member of my sister’s party.”
Let Shin Ha-yoon mention Kim Eun-ah’s name. In the end, Seonghan Kim had no choice but to sit down again.
“Okay, let’s listen.”
“Whoops, that’s good. It’s just about efficiency.”
Shin Ha-yoon narrows his eyes like a snake that has caught its prey.
“Because Eun-ah is the body that will have Shinsung Group. It’s not suitable for a dangerous job like a hunter.”
“Where did you hear the story?”
Kim Seong-han did not hide his uncomfortable appearance. However, Shin Ha-yoon did not back down even against Kim Seong-han.
“…Hehe, since that happened. Doesn’t everyone deserve to worry about their family?”
“…A member of the Shin-O family mentions his family. After all, you grew up very well, just like your parents.”
Despite Kim Seong-han’s sarcasm, Shin Ha-yoon just laughed.
“thank you. That’s why… As expected, it would be better for Eun-ah not to appear in the competition.”
“The reason is?”
“…my brother’s goal is the tower. A dangerous place where life can be shaken by a single mistake. If you’re afraid to send Eun-ah to the tower…”
Shin Ha-yoon told Kim Seong-han in a calm voice.
“Isn’t it for each other’s sake to fall out before the competition starts?”
Hearing Shin Ha-yoon’s story, Kim Seong-han fell into thought and immediately stood up.
“…I didn’t know you cared so much for your brother.”
In fact, unlike Chairman Kim Seok-han, Kim Seong-han did not want Kim Eun-ah to grow up as a hunter.
‘But… it was something that would happen someday. Even Eun-ah has to be prevented from getting caught up in dangerous things.’
Everything that has been left so far is because Kim Eun-ah’s will was stubborn. Seonghan Kim turned around and looked down at Hayun Shin.
“good night. I won’t fool you this time.”
After speaking, Seonghan Kim called someone through his pocket.
