I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 89 realism

“Is this Da-kyung’s house?”

"Yes. She said that her mother wanted to cook a meal for Dojin. Last time.”

“Last time?”

“You saved me from the trap dungeon.”

"Ah."

Have a meal at Seong Da-kyung's house...

It seems like it would be a bit hot, but if it was because of that time, it's a bit vague to say no.

And what's weird about it?

Think of it as going to your girlfriend's house to eat.

“Yeah, that’s good.”

"really? Then let's go home!"

“But wouldn’t it be too sudden?”

"no. I was always just talking. I told him to bring me today when the time is right. Wait."

As I still show a slight hesitancy, Seong Da-kyung takes out her cell phone.

She seems to be betting on her mother.

“Mom, can I go to dinner with Dojin-san?”

I was talking on the phone right next door, so I could barely hear my mother's voice.

Come on.

I'll make you something delicious.

Seong Da-kyung immediately hangs up the phone.

“Long. You made something delicious.”

“Isn’t it just a nuisance?”

“It’s nonsense. My mother is more anxious to see Dojin. Dad too. Go!"

So I headed to Seong Da-kyung's house.

It was just a few minutes walk back to her stop, where she had started.

“Dakyung, did you stop by the supermarket over there?”

“Mart?”

“Can I go empty-handed?”

"no. Dojin is just a guest.”

“Nevertheless.”

I stopped by a nearby supermarket for a while.

There was only one fruit basket left, so I picked it up quickly.

When I bought it, Seong Da-kyung smiled brightly.

“Mom and Dad will love it.”

“Shall we buy something else?”

“No, no. Enough.”

She took the fruit basket in her hand and started walking again.

And she soon arrived at Seong Da-kyung's house.

As soon as she rings her bell, the door opens right away.

From within her comes an old lady with a beautiful appearance.

Da-kyung looks like her mother.

"Hello!"

“Welcome.”

She nodded and she went inside.

From one side, a person with a physique enough to be called a Jang Han (壯Han) walks out.

You are my father.

The man who will later marry Da-kyung should be careful.

"Hello!"

“Come here.”

He nodded to her father as well, took off her shoes and entered the living room.

She held out the fruit basket.

“What did you buy this for?”

“Come empty-handed, so…”

“We serve it, but how about if you come empty-handed?”

No matter what you say, you are smiling broadly.

My dad likes to laugh too.

“Mom, did you make a lot of delicious food?”

"then. It’s been a while since I’ve done a bit of work.”

“Heh.”

Seong Da-kyung looks around her kitchen with a charming tone.

I also slightly lowered my head.

Oh.

There is no such thing as a perfect feast.

“Go sit down. You just have to eat it right away.”

"Ah! Yes. I will only wash my hands.”

"okay."

I washed my hands and sat down at the table.

Mother, father, and Seong Da-kyung were already occupying one seat each.

“Hurry up.”“Uh… that’s…”

“If we eat, we eat comfortably.”

When I notice, my father opens a drink first.

My mom also picks up a spoon right away.

I finally opened my mouth for the first time.

One rice, one rib.

How did you know I like galbi?

The meat melts as soon as you put it in your mouth.

The taste is also excellent.

“Is it in your mouth?”

"Yes. You used to be a cook.”

“I am just a housewife. I'm glad you're right."

My mother smiles and puts the plate in front of me.

Da-kyung Seong speaks from her side.

“My mom is very good at cooking.”

“Mom, but why is Dakyung like that?”

“I’m good at cooking too!”

Seong Da-kyung's lips protrude at his father's words.

The atmosphere seems to be very friendly.

There must have been a reason for Dakyung's bright personality.

“Give me the bowl. I will give you more.”

"thank you."

“Would you like to do something else?”

“Ugh, no. This is enough.”

"I see. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to eat. I’ll do it right away.”

The desire to be kind to their children's friends seems to be common among mothers across the country.

There are so many and you want to do more.

I got up after emptying three bowls of rice.

My slender stomach is filled with strength.

Whoa.

ate well

“It’s good to eat well.”

“It’s delicious, so I keep coming in.”

“Come back next time. I’ll make you something more delicious.”

“Haha, yes.”

“You can come alone without Dakyung.”

“Why do I take it out!”

Seong Da-kyung, who was carrying fruit to the living room, comes to my mother and me at those words.

“You don’t eat well just to lose weight.”

“No, eat well.”

“Eat well. Leaving half of each day.”

If there is nothing to say, carry the fruit again.

In her unit, she seizes the soldiers with the rank of sergeant, but at home, she is an innocent and cute daughter.

“I don’t eat fruit.”

"Yes."

“These are the things you bought earlier.”

After the meal, she sat in the living room and ate the fruit.

My father looks at me with a kind smile on her face.

“I was very grateful back then. It wouldn't have been easy.”

"no. I acted like that because I wanted to be okay.”

“I want you to be okay. I heard it all. A mutant trap or something the size of a house almost fell? Who would have thought of running away after seeing such a thing? You saved my daughter.”

"that's right. If it wasn’t for Dojin, I might still be lying in bed.”

Seong Da-kyung also says a word next to him.

This is right.

Seong Da-kyung was taken care of by the Hunter Hospital for a long time because of her trap dungeon work.

“That’s why I really wanted to prepare a place like this today. How should I be able to respond? Come on, take this too.”

"Yes?"

“My heart, my heart.”

Father holds out a heavy bag of money.

I politely declined.

Aside from the amount, it was not because I asked for money.

“It’s really good.”

“I want to make my heart feel comfortable.”

“At that time, I was trying to save Mr. Da-kyung, not to gain any other profit.”

“Heh heh heh.”

“I will take my heart.”

“Then… I see.”

Dad puts the money bag.

Then, after looking at Seong Da-kyung once, he opened his mouth again.

“Your personality is great. The characters are also very good. If it's someone like you, it wouldn't be a waste of money to give my daughter to you."

“Dad too. What do you say?”

When I hesitated as to what to answer, Seong Da-kyung quickly intervenes.

“Time goes by quickly. If there's a decent person, you have to ask for it."

“What kind of jerk is this person, a jerk?”

Mother also intervenes.

Just beckoning me to listen.

“Look. I don't know Ahn Sa-min or Da-kyung, but I'm sincere. Where else will I find someone like you?”

"Hahaha."

To put it bluntly, my father is trembling.

But for me, it's not a compliment.

“Go carefully.”

“Yes, mother.”

“Let’s take a look.”

“Yes, hello.”

After eating fruit, I left Seong Da-kyung's house.

Mother and father come out to meet you at the door.

Seong Da-kyung came out together.

“You can’t come out.”

“How is it? I will look forward to seeing you.”

side by side walking towards our house.

Street lamp lights illuminate the surroundings.

“Isn’t your dad too arrogant? sorry."

"no. It feels good, I.”

“Is that so… huh?”

"Yes. You say that giving someone like Da-kyung to me is not a waste at all. Of course it feels good.”

“Hey, what am I?”

Under the light of the street lamp, I can see Seong Da-kyung's cheeks burning red.

Did you say something so unfamiliar?

I think it's been like this a few times before.

But it's true.

If a woman with good skills, a good personality, and a good appearance like this isn't worth it to me, then of course she can't help but feel good.

“Now go in. The person who goes out will walk more than the person who goes back.”

"it's okay. That’s why I came out for that exercise.”

“Hmm, okay?”

"Yes."

Seong Da-kyung returned to her house only after coming to the vicinity of our apartment complex.

No matter how much she used to exercise, she took me all the way here.

The next time we walk together, I'll have to ask for it.

***

The vacation of 7 days and 6 nights started this past Saturday.

The remaining two days passed quickly. Mana practice in the valley, and meeting some friends.

It was time to return to the unit.

I met Seong Da-kyung and went in together.

“Doesn’t time pass too quickly when it’s only on vacation?”

"Iknow, right. Even though it was 6 nights and 7 days for me, it feels short. But at the same time, I miss the troops.”

"Yes? How can I miss the troops...”

“It’s like training, going to dungeons and catching monsters.”

“That’s what makes you tired 365 days a year.”

"is it."

“It’s not like Do-jin is called a dog breed for nothing.”

“Do you know that sound too, Da-kyung?”

“Isn’t there anyone in the unit that I don’t know?”

As she talked, she had just passed the guard post and was going up to the company building.

Seong Da-kyung broke up at a fork in the road.

“See you again, Dojin.”

"Yes."

It's like this now, but soon, it will go up every day.

Because it becomes the same company in the new barracks.

There are also plans related to that from next week.

Clean up dungeons around the new barracks.

There's no risk of explosion, so it's okay to leave it alone, but would it make sense to say that there are dungeons in the world where Hunters live?

“This week, I will clean up the dungeons around the new barracks. So that each person can check their equipment.”

"Yes!"

It was as I remembered.

As soon as the new week began, the schedule went ahead.

“Get in the car.”

"Yes!"

Each company got on a vehicle and moved to the new barracks.

Buildings and structures had already been completed.

The barrier was also dealt with last time.

In time maybe...

‘Did you move here next week? It's not too long ago.'

Life in the new barracks.

It means a lot.Not to mention using the same building as the female hunters, this is because various incidents happen.

If you make good use of such situations, you will be able to build up your performance and combat ability even more.

I'm already looking forward to it.

“There are three dungeons our company will eliminate. It's an ordinary monster dungeon, but as you all know it can suddenly become a double dungeon or a mutant dungeon. Please be careful.”

"Yes!"

“They will be removed by platoon so that each platoon leader can command his troops well.”

"all right."

The troops are torn apart by each platoon leader.

Since it was our 1st platoon, Lieutenant Kwak Sang-gi came out.

“Go!”

As always, Lieutenant Young So-jin is next to her like a lover.

Even if Lieutenant Young So-jin seemed uncomfortable and went away, he brought him to the side for various reasons.

Whoa, that bastard is real.

[Enter the dungeon.]

As the company commander said, it was an ordinary monster dungeon.

As soon as you enter, dozens of monsters attack the platoon members.

“Kee-O-O-O-O!”

“Kee-O-O-O!”

Matuso.

A monster with a snake's head and a cow's body.

In fact, it can never be said to be ordinary just by looking at it, but anyway.

He licked his upper lip and raised his sword.

nerves all over the body.

It seems that there is a little reaction to the battle of the tidal wave.

Scratch!

He swung his sword at random and cut them down.

The teeth are not poisonous, but the body is sharp and hard.

Of course, combat uniforms provide support, but combat uniforms are not invincible.

So it shouldn't be attacked in the first place.

Killing anything like this.

[Affected by vitality stats.]

When I killed about a dozen animals, I realized the greatness of the vitality stats.

Even though it was only level 2, it had a significant impact on combat ability.

‘Being strong is also getting stronger… the overall balance has improved.’

If you think about it, it just has to be.

Because it is a stat that is involved in strength, stamina, and agility.

‘It would be nice to be able to experience the mana-responsive skill that has risen to A-level once. Rather than simply increasing the rate at which mana reacts.’

Mana Response skill has another effect.

Something that allows you to better handle objects imbued with mana.

I want to experience the different effects.

“Captain! It's a mana barrier!”

“Something bothered me.”

How the wind reached the sky, the opportunity came.

mana barrier.

Literally a barrier made of mana.

There is no other source better to experience the other effects than that.

how do you feel

“Woo, aren’t you even moving?”

“Damn, what are you so hard on?”
