I Returned, But My Power is the Same

“How could you... be like that?”

“Isn’t the rock just so big?”

“Is it because it disappears as soon as it falls? It's not. Even if it was destroyed, it was right, right?”

While everyone was exclaiming at how well I looked, only Lieutenant Young So-jin was running towards me.

“Dojin-ah!”

"I'm really fine, Vice-Captain."

And another person.

There was someone under me who was terribly surprised.

“Mr. Dojin!”

“Oh, Da-kyung. Are you not hurt?”

“Why is Dojin asking that? I'll have to ask! Look, it's really good, isn't it?"

It was Seong Da-kyung.

I get out of the vine and start examining my body.

Once again, I think I need to reassure you.

“Yes, as you can see.”

"···thank God. . . . I'm really happy.”

Seong Da-kyung's face, which had been hardened, was then released.

But it still seems to be worrying.

“Just in case you don’t know, I’m going to the division medical team right now.”

“Are you on duty?”

“It may look fine on the outside, but it may not be on the inside.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin had the same thought, and was calling the medic again by radio.

Hmm.

You have to fill up your experience and skills while traveling around here.

It's a pity... huh?

Why are you so dizzy all of a sudden?

“Dojin-san?!”

“Dojin-ah!”

The voices of Seong Da-kyung and Lieutenant Young So-jin are heard.

I'm sure I'm hearing it right in front of my nose, but there seems to be a lot of noise.

Ooh, what a sudden.

I shook my head vigorously.

But contrary to his will, his body was already losing strength.

I knew then.

His body might have been fine due to his strong bones, but his mind was quite shocked.

“Medicine! This way, this way!”

"hurry!"

I just lost my mind.

***

"How amazing. Not a single place was fractured after being hit by that big boulder.”

“Then is there anything wrong?”

"Yes. It will happen soon.”

“Is there anything wrong with your head?”

"Yes. I was just a little shocked, everything is fine.”

"thank you sir. thank you."

A familiar voice is heard.

father?

It seems that you have a mother too.

I opened my eyes slowly.

"mom and dad! Dojin is awake!”

I hear my sister's voice.

It's very loud right in front of you.

what?

Why is the whole family here?

Ah.

Right, I was out of my mind.

So this is... Hunter Hospital.

It looks like they were transferred to this place, not the Division Medical Corps.

“Dojin-ah, are you okay?”

“Uh, it’s okay.”

If I'm still not relieved, my sister grabs me and looks around.

Looking at the clothes, it looks like he was just running from work.

“Dojin-ah!”

"Gosh!"Mother and father hear their sister's cry and run to them.

The doctor followed.

“Dojin Choi, are you out of your mind?”

First, the doctor checks my condition.

“How is your body?”

"great."

“Are you okay with your hair?”

"Yes."

"Fortunately, the. You will have to undergo additional tests to find out, but if you rest for a few days, you can be discharged immediately.”

"thank you."

“Ah, I have a bandage for the hunter wrapped around my shoulder, so if you can, don’t use your arm.”

A bandage for the hunter.

A treatment tool that blocks or purifies toxins that may be mixed in monsters or traps.

Now that I see it, it is rolled up on both shoulders.

"all right."

“Yes, then, take a good rest.”

As the doctor escapes, her sister and mother wipe away their tears.

Even my father, who is not good at expressing emotions, holds my hand and breathes a sigh of relief.

To my family now, I have become almost that kind of person who has risen from the dead.

do it

You must have come here knowing that you were hit by a rock and collapsed.

“How did you come to work?”

“Don’t worry about our business. Just take it easy.”

“Yeah, don’t even think about it.”

My sister also helped me with a word.

"right. Just rest, rest.”

something stings your nose

That's why it's family, family.

So, to some extent, the situation came to an end.

My parents and my sister have also regained stability.

When my parents went to answer the phone for a while because of work, my sister opened her mouth as if she was waiting.

“I saw him too.”

“He?”

“You know, the female officer you dated at the naengmyeon restaurant.”

"iced coffee. But what kind of date is a date? It’s just that my parents and I had a lunch date canceled, so we ate together.”

"okay? Anyway, spring.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin must have accompanied me when I was taken to the hospital.

I think I saw it then.

“It was really pretty. I can see why Seonyoung said he looked like a celebrity.”

"Five."

"Why?"

“There are times when my sister sees other women and says they are pretty.”

"Yeah, she's never seen anyone prettier than me."

“Then you are saying that our deputy platoon leader is prettier than my sister?”

"no no. Not that.”

My sister looks at me with her hair waving.

“What woman is prettier than me?”

“...”

“You don’t admit it?”

"···Yes. Yes."

The older sister put her hand on her chin and said.

“Just looking at it from an objective point of view, it’s pretty.”

“If you look at your sister’s face from an objective point of view…”

“Then what? Speak well.”

“It’s beautiful, that’s it. sister too. Ha ha ha ha ha."

what to do

Even though I'm not sick, I can't use my shoulder because of the Hunter bandage.

Only to lose once.

“But there was something very strange.”

"what?"

“When I saw you, of course, my mom and dad did the same, but he seemed more surprised. I just can't help but feel restless."

“Our deputy commander?”

"uh. Her face has just become contemplative. It was to the point that I wanted to go and read it thoroughly.”

“It must have been because his subordinate was injured.”

“It was pretty good for something like that.”

The older sister tilts her head and looks at the clock.

It's already past 12 o'clock.

“Sorry, I can’t eat lunch with you. It also came out in a hurry.”

"Fine. Come on.”

“Have a good time. And don't get hurt. got it?"

"uh. Thank you, sister.”

Unlike my older sister, my parents said that they were still there, but I just let them go.

You must be busy with work, but you can't hold on to it forever.

Most of all, I'm fine.

“Would you like a meal?”

"Yes."

Eating rice is no big deal.

I'm not saying you shouldn't use your shoulders like you would in a fight, and I'm not saying you shouldn't even lift a spoon or chopsticks.

After the family left and had lunch.

I was quietly fiddling with my cell phone, but a female hunter entered the hospital room.

It was Lieutenant Young So-jin.

It looks like he went in for a while and then came back.

"insect···"

“No, no. Just stay here."

When I try to salute, they immediately stop me.

“I’m glad you woke up early.”

“Thanks to the deputy commander.”

“What did I do?”

Lieutenant Young So-jin takes off her battle hat and sits in front of my bed.

My bangs are slightly tangled from sweat.

what?

did you jump

“After listening to what the teacher said, I could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.”

“Yes, I heard.”

“It’s fine. rice is?"

“I just ate.”

“But how did you eat your shoulder?”

I said moving my hand.

“This one works well.”

"iced coffee. But it's like some kind of robot."

Lieutenant Young So-jin looks around the hospital room with a smile as if having fun.

“Are your mother and father gone? Your older sister was also here.”

“You went. I have work.”

"I see. When I saw you doing this, I cried for a long time. He seemed very surprised.”

“I will try to call you again later.”

“Yes, yes. Then you will be at peace.”

"Yes."

“Oh, you know that? There will be an inauguration ceremony for the platoon commander later.”

"Yes. I heard from Sgt. Lee Dae-yong yesterday.”

“Dojin can’t attend.”

“If you want to go on like this, you can go.”

“Oh, it’s okay. Stay still, Private Choi Do-jin.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin said as if he had remembered something.

“He was very surprised, too.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Dakyung Seong in 3rd Company. Do-jin is the kid you saved.”

"Ah."

“I’ll probably come here after work later. The platoon commander over there originally had the medics get an examination first. Seong Da-kyung was also put down anyway. But the medics said there was nothing wrong, so they immediately removed the trap.”

You can't say that the platoon commander is rude.

For the safety of citizens and the city, removing traps is more important.

Lieutenant Young So-jin looked at the clock and said.

“I’ll have to go back to the battalion.”

“Oh, if you had work, you wouldn’t have to come.”

“How can you not come? You have to see your waking face.”

"thank you."

“Thank you too. If it wasn’t for you, Dojin… today would have worked really well.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin shudders and gets up from her seat.

“I will go first. Take care of your health and come.”

"Yes. insect···"

"done. Just stay.”Lieutenant Young So-jin waved her hand and walked out of the hospital room.

Then, turn back again.

“If anything happens, call me right away.”

"all right."

Lieutenant Young So-jin is also doing that because she is a soldier, but thank you nonetheless.

taking care of this and that.

After Second Lieutenant Young So-jin left.

I fell asleep while watching TV.

Then I opened my eyes again...

"woke up?"

Seong Da-kyung was sitting in front of my bed.

in combat clothes.

"uh? I've heard that it's coming, but it really is. How did you get here?”

“I applied for a special outing. The platoon leader is also on his way, and he asks me to have another checkup at Hunter Hospital.”

“That was it. If I had come, I wouldn't have woke you up."

“You are sleeping so hard.”

“Did you?”

"Yes. It’s like no one knows who’s going to pick it up.”

Hmm.

Are you tired of losing your mind?

I scratched the back of my head and got up more.

Then Seong Da-kyung quickly catches him behind him.

"thank you."

“Considering what Do-jin did for me today, this is nothing.”

"What. Don’t think too much about it.”

“Don’t think that way. How are you?”

“I helped because it was worth helping. Look, you're fine."

“...”

Seong Da-kyung looked at me silently, and he said he understood.

“Are you saying you’re afraid I’ll keep feeling sorry?”

“Hey, do you use mind-reading?”

“I can see it all, on the face.”

“What is written on my face?”

"Yes."

“What does it say?”

“Oh, this woman seems to be sorry, so she’s rather uncomfortable. Shit. It is.”

“Please remove the damn thing.”

"I see."

Seong Da-kyung said with a burst of laughter.

“Then she won’t be sorry, I’ll just say thank you. I will pay you back today.”

“Could you give me some money?”

“Would you like to?”

Seong Da-kyung said with a very serious face.

“I can give you money if you need it. Or I can give you anything else.”

"just joke. take what money But are you going to give me anything else?”

"Yes."

“Hmm, that’s something to think about.”

“Tell me whenever it happens.”

at that time.

The room was opened again.

And she was brought to dinner by the restaurant lady.

It's already dinner time.

“Stop it. Dakyung should eat dinner too.”

“Where are you going? There is still a lot of time left to go out. I'll take care of myself for dinner later."

“Then what are you going to do here?”

“Dojin-san, I have to feed you this.”

"Yes?"

Before I can say anything, Seong Da-kyung takes the plate and puts it on my bed.

And she takes a spoon.

“How do you eat with your arms?”

“Only the shoulders are like this, the arms move well. look."

“Moving well. It's like a robot."

Lieutenant Young So-jin also said something similar before, so I can't argue with anything.

Besides, I already put rice on a spoon to cool off the heat.

Then put it on my lips.

“Come on, try it. Oh~"
