Chapter 145
The letter I sent through Winterer, asking for the location of Colonel Seo's grave, was something I was confident would get a willing response.
Who am I? The 7th ranked S-Class. A guy about to go to public service. Whether they like it or not, I’ll be relying on the Defense Ministry for the next year and a half.
A general would naturally want to build connections. It wouldn’t be surprising for him to laugh and provide the location of a mere colonel’s grave.
[On Wednesday night, I will meet you directly at the Japanese restaurant near the academy.]
‘The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, huh? A big fish has been caught.’
That’s why I wasn’t surprised when I received General Kang Joo-deok’s text. He was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, a position where it wouldn’t be strange for me to need hypnosis.
Ah. He wants to treat me to an expensive meal and give me information to curry favor. This way, it would be easier for him to say, “Let’s work together on something later.”
I was thinking just this.@@@@
How did I react to such a transparent proposal?
Nod.
“Thank you for calling me that, General Kang.”
‘Free sushi!’
An omakase meal from a general. What a steal! I’d eat well and see if I could work something out. If it feels right, I’d go in for a hypnosis ‘click’ and demand better treatment for Winterer as payment.
It was a proposal where I had nothing to lose. A complete win-win situation.
“I’ll enjoy this~.”
Munch munch.
‘The sushi made by a master is truly different~. Master’s sushi is delicious too, but there’s just something different.’
Thanks to that, I thoroughly enjoyed the sushi.
Before my regression, I hadn’t eaten sushi much. Whenever I bought sushi outside, Master would get incredibly angry. I’m a Japanese wife, yet buying sushi outside hurt my pride.
Master does make it delicious, but...
Even so, I couldn’t shake the feeling of home cooking.
It felt different from what a professional would create.
Anyway, because of that, the sushi went down smoothly. It was loud enough to make General Kang’s chatter feel like a background noise.
“Colonel Seo...”
“Yes. He was truly an amazing person.”
Munch munch.
‘There are rarely people with such character. Hmm.’
Of course, I wasn’t neglecting the conversation.
Since he was a familiar face, I acknowledged Colonel Seo’s character as well.
‘This sea urchin tastes weird. If I complain, it might upset the general. I should just swallow it.’
Squeeze. Swallow.
‘Ugh, bitter.’
I decided to swallow something that tasted a bit bitter, thinking it would be better than upsetting him.
Murmurs.Smile.
Of course, it didn’t mean that their memories or self would return, but...
‘I’m who? The owner of “complete hypnosis.”’
Even with hypnosis, the essence of my ability is dealing with souls. As long as there’s a shell remaining, there wouldn’t be a problem.
I would restore the original form and create a shell. I’d fill it with the remnants of the soul.
The soul that retains their memories and identity.
It could be seen as a makeshift resurrection.
‘Well, it’s not a true resurrection, but...’
Colonel Seo’s true soul would have flown far away to the heavens by now. This was merely temporary clone creation.
Yet still. The soul would undoubtedly resemble that of the living colonel. To others, it would look just like a resurrection.
In fact, the general’s jaw dropped at that revelation.
“Revival...?”
“Of course, it won’t last long. In five minutes, he’ll return to dust.”
“...That’s enough. It would be enough to apologize to Colonel Seo.”
But that was just a moment. He composed himself again, bowing deeply towards me.
“I’m sorry for being so presumptuous. On the day we meet him, please take me with you.”
“Of course.”
Bow.
I also bowed my head slightly. I wouldn’t be so rude as to keep my head up while an elder was bowing.
“Instead, please take care of Winterer for me.”
“......?”
My daughter was a major, and this person was a general. It couldn’t hurt to show him my good side in advance, as he didn’t seem like a bad person.
“We are both fathers of daughters. I believe you will understand my feelings as someone who wants to protect their daughter.”
“Um, yes.”
He seemed quite puzzled, but it was clearly an unexpected offer.
“By the way, may I ask if Seo Yu-jin is twenty?”
“Ah, yes.”
“And Winterer, I believe she’s twenty-nine.”
“Right? Oh, does my age pose a problem for military service? Will there be a big issue later?”
“...No, it’s nothing.”
“......?”
Before leaving the sushi restaurant, I wondered why he asked about my age, but whatever. Was he doing his job as the head of the intelligence department?
Meanwhile, as Yu-jin and General Kang were having their conversation, two others were also engaged in a similar secret discussion. The so-called “daughters of the Pochikong,” Haru and Winterer.
“This weekend... you know, right?”
“Yeah, sis.”
A whispered conversation from the bed.
Haru’s eyes sparkled with starlight. Even though she was a good girl who would fall asleep at 9 PM, she couldn’t sleep from excitement, even as midnight approached.
Smile.
“I can go ‘chu, chu’ with Daddy at the best time! And, sex? I can do that together too.”
“Right. So, I’ll teach you how to do it.”
“How do I do it?”
“First, you need to lower your pants and panties. You have to....”
This was the special sexual education Season 3 brought to you by the villain’s plea. It was the result of a few days before Yu-jin was to be attacked.
