I Became a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 78

Chapter 78

After putting Se-ah in the car first, I went to see the representative of the defense team who stepped up to the plate for this case.

I walked over to Mr. Han Kwang-ki.

“You’re here, Master.”

In South Korea, Dike is a law firm that specializes in lawsuits related to Awakened.

They had grown in the past with the help of Hanwol Group and Corleone, and were now one of the largest law firms in Korea.

“Thank you so much for coming to us at such short notice.”

“On the contrary, we should be thanking you for finding us first. Your family has been targeted, and I have been ordered by the Consiglière to see you through to the end of this case.”

“……Consiglière?”

“Yes. He also requested that we have a meal together for the first time in a long time.”

“……I’ll have to contact him.”

“Yes, please. We’ll do some research on the case.”

Han Kwang-ki bowed his head and walked away.

To be honest, I was surprised when he first showed up here. After all, he was one of the named NPCs in the game: The Mad Lawyer.

He was one of those lawyers who would do anything to win his cases.

However, in the end, he wasn’t necessarily evil, as he was more of a Vigilante who would take on the defense of the wicked and win, but if his client was evil, he would take the punishment into his own hands.

[A new character has been added to the Character Book!]

And it seems that he’s been added to the character book.

Judging by the fact that the others were not added, it seemed that only those who were categorized as named NPCs in the game were registered in the Character Book.

I walked over to where Se-ah was waiting.

Right in front of the police station she’s on her phone, talking intently.

Apparently, she was explaining the situation to her siblings about being taken away unexpectedly by the detectives.

“Okay, Sia, I’ll be there in a minute, just stay calm with Si-woo, okay?”

Se-ah hangs up the phone with those last words and sighs, probably to relieve the tension.

“Wow. Thank you so much, if it wasn’t for Eugene, I would have been in trouble, not to mention my siblings.”

She bows her head toward me.

“Again. Thank you so much. You saved my life.”

I’m sure she’s very surprised, too but she stayed silent and still until the end, following my lead, expressing her gratitude to me in this way.

That was enough for me.

“I did what I was supposed to do. By the way, it’s late and there’s no bus or subway. How were you going to get back?”

“What? Uh….. I was going to walk somehow.”

“Well……I can give you a ride.”

“What?”

“I had some time to spare anyway.”

A black sedan pulls up in front of me just in time.

“Here we go. Hurry up and don’t waste time.”

“Uh, uh, by the way, I’m really fine.”

“Rather, it’s because I’d feel uneasy if I left you alone. Come on, come on.”

“What?! Ouch!”

Se-ah ends up curled up on my back and sits in the backseat.

She squirms in her seat because the feel of the seat is so strange.

“Wow…… this is Eugene’s car…… I can’t believe it’s so soft to the touch.”

I burst out laughing because I had a similar thought to Se-ah when I first got into this car.

“By the way, can you give me your home address?”

“What? Uh, my home address is…….”

The address that came out of Se-ah mouth was not too far away, about 15 minutes by car.

“Alright then, I’ll be on my way.”

“Waaaah…….”

Kim Se-ah’s face widened as if she admired Han Seo-joon’s words as he announced their departure.

I had been worried about Se-ah, who had looked so depressed when she was at the police station, but seeing her smile like this made me feel better.

Soon after, we arrived at Se-ah’s house.

I’m about to leave after dropping her off, but she stops and looks at me as if she’s remembered something.

“By the way, Mr. Eugene. I owe you a favor this time, and my siblings…… would like to thank you, so why don’t you come upstairs and have a cup of tea?”

“Your siblings?”

“Yes, I usually talk about Mr. Eugene a lot, so my siblings are curious. Oh, and the driver is coming up too!”

Se-ah asks Han Seo-joon, who is in the driver’s seat, but he only smiles wryly.

“There’s no parking around here, so I’ll have to go somewhere else. I’m really sorry, it was so nice of you.”

“Oh, no, it’s not, I’m really grateful that you drove me here, what about you, Eugene……?”

“You’ll be sorry if I just leave.”

“Exactly.”

Smiling at my answer, Se-ah gets out of the car first.

I followed her out of the car, and she opened the gate first and walked inside.

“The owner of the first floor is sleeping, so you need to come in quietly……!”

“Oh, okay.”

The house is on the second floor.

Just when I was thinking that.

-Thud!

With a sound, the door opened from the second floor, and a little kid who looked to be about 7 years old ran down the stairs at a tremendous speed and hugged Se-ah.

“Sis!”

“Oh my God. Really. I told you to go to sleep first because I’m coming home late.”

“How can I sleep when my sister was taken away by the cops?”

A tearful reunion unfolded before my eyes.

He spotted me, blushed with surprise, and bowed to me.

“I’ve never met you before, I’m Kim Si-woo.”

“Uh…… yes.”

As if what I had just seen was a lie the child seemed so polite from the start.

“Please follow me. My house is on this floor.”

Si-woo takes the lead and climbs the stairs while me and Se-ah slowly follow him up the stairs and enter the door he opens for us.

“Oh.”

The scene in front of me was a very welcoming home.

Come to think of it, had I ever entered a proper family home since I crossed over to this world?

For me, who had defaulted to the appearance of the Corleone family after crossing over to the CS world and being possessed, this scene was very familiar.

In a short period of time, my body had already grown accustomed to the large mansion and its suites.

The familiar scent of fabric softener in the air, the yellowed cabinets and the familiar wallpaper all around was a nostalgic reminder of the place where I used to live.

“Sis!!!”

Another child, this time a girl, finds Se-ah and crashes into her.

“You’re not hurt, are you?”

“Don’t you know who your sister is?”

Se-ah pats the child on the back and talks to her gently.

“We have guests here, shouldn’t we say hello?”

“Oh, no!”

The girl pulls away from Se-ah in surprise and bows to me.

“Oh, hello. I’ve heard so much about you from my sister.”

The girl greeted me cutely. She reminded me of my younger sister, Jiyun, because they were around the same age.

She looked so much like Se-ah that I wondered if she would have looked like that when she was younger. The resemblance was almost too much.

Whereas Si-woo’s eyes were strong, this child’s eyes were filled with fire.

“I’m Kim Sia, Se-ah’s sister and Si-woo’s older sister, and I heard my sister owes a lot to you at the academy.”

I looked at her and……thought she was very mature for her age.

“Hey, why are you the older sister? We’re the same age!”

“I’m the sister because I was born before you, and didn’t I tell you that we shouldn’t fight in front of guests?”

“C’mon…….”

……Were they twins?

Apparently, the girl is the older sister.

“By the way, I will be back in a minute, can you wait with the kids over there?”

“Sure. If you’ll excuse me.”

I nodded and went inside and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Se-ah house was small, but it looked like an ordinary family home.

Two rooms, one bathroom, and a dining table big enough for a family of four to sit side by side and eat.

Apparently, their parents had passed away and the landlord had taken care of them, so they were able to stay here for cheap.

“Brother, you saved my sister’s life, right?”

“Big brother. You saved my sister?”

As soon as Se-ah is gone, the twins sit down on either side of me and launch a barrage of questions.

“Are you in the same club as my sister?”

“Are you the president of our sister’s club?”

They start asking me all sorts of questions acting like spoiled brats.

“Are you really strong like all the other heroes? Are you stronger than Mighty Guy?”

“Is brother stronger than my sister? How much stronger?”

A child’s curiosity is not a sin.

After a few minutes of answering one question after another, Se-ah came out with a tray of tea.

“You’ve been waiting a long time. I’m sorry, children, Mr. Eugene is having a hard time!”

“Sis! You’re so mean!

“Sis! I think he’s a great guy!”

“……Huh?”

Se-ah is puzzled by the two siblings who have already fallen in love with me.

“I thought they were really nice and smart.”

“Is that so? Haha…….”

The two children giggle at my compliment and Se-ah sets down four cups on the table.

“I’m glad the kids seem to like you, Eugene. By the way, did you say hello? The girl is Sia, and next to her is the cranky one, Si-woo.”

“Sis, what do you mean, cranky?”

“What.”

……I felt like I knew the hierarchy of this house.

“Sia, Si-woo. This is Mr. Eugene Han, the head of our club and my boss.”

Of course, the meaning of boss that Se-ah is referring to here is something like a boss at work, but for some reason, hearing her say boss gives me an unfamiliar feeling.

That’s because Jin-woo was the only person in the academy who called me boss, and this was the first time I’d heard the word boss come out of Se-ah’s mouth.

“Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Eugene Han and I’m also the president of the club ‘Familia’, just like Se-ah said.”

“Yes, it’s nice to meet you, Eugene.”

“Nice to meet you, too. Eugene.”

The kids, who had just said hello, bowed once more.

Se-ah watches the scene with amusement.

“Now, if you all enjoyed the milk, shouldn’t you go and snooze, or will you sleep late tomorrow?”

“We have a day off tomorrow, can we sleep in?”

“It’s ……big sister, me and Si-woo will go in first to sleep.”

Sia grabbed Si-woo’s hand and waved goodbye to us, even though Si-woo still didn’t want to go to bed, and dashed into their room.

Once they were out of the room, the house was quiet.

“They’re so energetic, aren’t they? I’m worried about the way things are in the house.”

Both of Se-ah’s parents were heroes.

Unfortunately, they died in the line of duty, so she quickly became the head of the family…….

‘Honestly, it must have been hard for her to get a decent education.’

As I suspected, even if you don’t have much magic, Spatial Magic is extraordinary.

Nevertheless, the reason she’s been able to survive this long is because of her siblings.

At least now that they were old enough to go to kindergarten, she could afford it, but she would still need money for them somehow.

“Still, you’re the reason they’ve turned out so well, and apparently you have some talent.”

“Talent?”

It took me a moment, but then I remembered the system window I’d seen just moments ago when my kids were sitting next to me.

This convinced me.

[A new person has been added to the Character Book!]

[Kim Sia]

[Kim Si-woo]

I wondered why Kim Se-ah, who uses spatial magic, didn’t appear in the game and why the two children were added to the Character Book.
