I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Chapter 220

In the eyes of the producers, Luzel and Luke, Choi Ga-young’s wings seemed very unusual. Luzel opened her mouth with a trembling expression.

“I don’t think… she has the problem with the drugs.”

“You’re right. She was forcibly tested subject by a man named Doctor, who was a member of the Praus cult.”

“Doctor? Are you saying he had done a human experiment?”

“Yes. I’m guessing he is an S-rank or higher producer. Could you take a look?”

“Um, good. But I can’t tell by looking at the clothes. Did you say Choi Ga-young-ssi?”

Choi Ga-young responded with a little surprise at Luzel’s words.

“Ye, yes.”

“My name is Luzel, a producer from Roheon Guild. I want to take a good look at your back, can you go into the bathroom and show me?”

After a moment’s hesitation, Choi Ga-young swallowed her dry saliva and nodded her head.

“All right.”

It was inconvenient to have to show your back to the person you just met, but it couldn’t be helped. Choi Ga-young and Luzel went into the bathroom together and came back not long after.

“Hm… I checked just now.”

“How is it?”

“From my point of view, it can be removed.”

Choi Ga-young, who was looking at Luzel with her timid and nervous expression, was relieved by the answer.

“But things are a bit complicated.”

“What do you mean by complicated?”

“It’s difficult for me to do it alone. Of course, Luke has to help me and we need a surgeon and a healer. The process of removing the wings won’t be easy.”

“Surgeon…”

Healer was possible because Min Ah-rin was here, but a surgeon was a bit difficult. I couldn’t call anyone.

I couldn’t make a hasty decision, so I closed my mouth and quietly watched the situation, but Choi Ga-young bowed her head with a heartbroken expression. Min Ah-rin, who looked sadly at the situation, tried to comfort her with a bright voice.

“Still, it’s fortunate that we can get rid of it. From now on, all you have to do is ask questions and find a reliable surgeon who will perform the operation.”

At those words, Luzel raised the corners of her lips calmly.

“Right. It’s a problem that can be fixed, so don’t be discouraged already. And we’re not in a situation where surgery can be done right away anyway.”

Luzel pulled Choi Ga-young’s shoulder, who was standing next to her, and continued the explanation.

“Ugh.”

“Come on, look at it now. You don’t have any energy. If we had a major operation like that in your current state, your body wouldn’t be able to stand it.”

“It certainly looks like it.”

Come to think of it, even when Choi Ga-young was being held captive by Doctor, she often seemed to starve. He treated Choi Ga-young like an animal rather than a human, so there was no way he could have provided the meal.

“We need at least five days for her to rest and restore her energy.”

“All right. Then, in the meantime, let’s find a surgeon. And.”

I reached out in the air after sweeping the nape of my neck once. Then, a bottle of wine from the inventory appeared in the palm of my hand.

“It’s the alcohol we talked about in the previous meeting.”

Alcohol containing drugs that I barely obtained from the club. I handed it over to Luzel.

Like me and Choi Ga-young, it was a good thing if you had only drunk once, but if you drank it more than once or mix it with other drugs, your addiction got stronger.

Like Seoul, the number of victims was increasing in Busan as well. We hadn’t been able to confirm, but other regions were probably in a similar situation.

“Please help us.”

Everything we need was gathered. All that was left was for Luzel and Luke to work together to create a neutralizer or antidote.

Luzel, who understood what I meant, put the bottle in the inventory bag that was worn around her waist with a serious face.

“I’ll try to make it asap.”

Luzel and Luke knew the seriousness as well as I did. My heart was relieved a little at the prepared answer.

“For now, it’s late, so I’ll go back to Roheon.”

“I understand.”

“We will inform you of the progress through Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon.”

After talking with me, Luzel turned to Choi Ga-young.

“Choi Ga-young-ssi, until the next time we meet again, don’t worry and take care of your health as much as possible. Don’t skip your meals and eat well.”

“I, I will.”

“Good. Luke! Let’s go now. Then, I will contact you soon, Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Thank you both for coming. Be careful on your way.”

Luke, who had been hesitant, bowed his head to me and followed Luzel who left the hospital room.

After confirming that Luzel and Luke had left, I told Choi Ga-young.

“You’ll have a wing removal surgery, so stay here. Have you called your home?”

“I don’t have a cell phone, so it’s still…”

“I’m sorry to your family who may be concerned, but it’s better not to contact them right now.”

Since the missing person had returned alive, it was clear that if she contacted her family, there would be a commotion. In the process, there was a high probability that information about the wings would leak out.

Above all, it became difficult to hide the fact that we infiltrated the club to stop the Praus cult.

“At least you’d be better removing the wings before contacting them. And don’t tell anyone about Doctor or drugs. It could be dangerous again.”

It seemed that the Praus Cult, including Doctor, had already lost interest in Choi Ga-young, but we had to tell lies like this, so she woould get scared and wouldn’t talk about it.

As I expected, Choi Ga-young nodded her head with her pale complexion.

‘For now, I have to stop here today.’

The most important problems had been addressed to some extent. I clenched my fist by forcing my hand, which was starting to tremble, forcibly. From the moment I woke up, my body was getting close to the limit.

“Like Luzel said, Choi Ga-young-ssi needs a rest, so we’re leaving.”

I didn’t want to let her know that I wasn’t feeling well, so when I told her, Min Ah-rin, who was quick-witted, immediately agreed.

“Right. It’s already past nine o’clock. Choi Ga-young-ssi, I will stop by tomorrow and check your condition.”

“Thank you.”

We left Choi Ga-young and went out into the hallway. Ha Tae-heon opened his mouth, checking the time on his wrist watch.

“I should go back to the guild too.”

Come to think of it, Ha Tae-heon had been at Requiem all day since this morning, waiting for me to wake up. I asked with an apologetic heart for realizing late.

“Are you going to Roheon instead of home?”

“There’s a little bit of work left to do.”

Ha Tae-heon, who glanced at the people who were staring at us, patted my head with his big hand.

“You worked hard today. That’s enough, just go back to your room and rest.”

“I understand.”

“I will call you tomorrow.”

With the last greeting, Ha Tae-heon turned his back and left. Min Ah-rin, who stood silently until Ha Tae-heon disappeared into the other side of the hallway, gently pushed my back.

“Yi-gyeol-ssi, you’re tired, right? Let’s go to your room.”

“No, I’m o…”

“No! It’s been a few hours since the drug was gone.”

That’s true though. Before I knew it, Kim Woo-jin joined as well and grabbed my hand. I was dragged to the 23rd floor by Kim Woo-jin in the front and Min Ah-rin in the back, and I was pushed into the room as it was.

“I’ll be right back as soon as I get to work tomorrow! Until then, you need to rest and don’t do anything else.”

Kim Woo-jin didn’t even come into the room because he thought I couldn’t rest when he was next to me, so he stood at the front door and said.

“I’ll go to the upstairs room too. Call me if anything happens, I will come to you right away, Han Yi-gyeol.”

Park Geon-ho, who quietly followed behind and watched with interest, folded his arms and asked Cheon Sa-yeon, who was standing next to him.

“So, that’s it for today? May I go home, Master?”

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi also needs a break, so it would be better for us to leave now.”

At Woo Seo-hyuk’s words, Cheon Sa-yeon’s black eyes turned to me. He looked at me quietly and then answered.

“Right. Let’s do it tomorrow.”

“Ah, wait…”

I reflexively grabbed Cheon Sa-yeon’s arm, who was about to leave the room.

“Yi-gyeol-ssi?”

“Han Yi-gyeol?”

Surprised Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin called for me, but they didn’t let go of their hands. After all, it was better to just say it now.

“Master Cheon Sa-yeon. Please give me some time.”

“Um?”

“Everyone can leave now. I have something to talk about with Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”

It was quite surprising that I caught Cheon Sa-yeon first, so Woo Seo-hyuk also rarely made a surprised expression. Cheon Sa-yeon, who stared at the arm held by me for a moment, answered.

“I don’t think it would matter if it was 30 minutes or so. Woo Seo-hyuk, finish your work and go home.”

“…I understand.”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who quickly returned to expressionless at Cheon Sa-yeon’s command, made a silent bow. After that, I saw Park Geon-ho made a strange look.

“Yi-gyeol-ssi…”

“It’s okay. See you tomorrow, Min Ah-rin-ssi. Kim Woo-jin, you too.”

I was worried because my opponent was Cheon Sa-yeon, but I said goodbye to Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin, who seemed unable to stop me, but I brought only Cheon Sa-yeon into the room and closed the front door.

‘Oh, I’m crazy.’

Taking a deep breath of exhaustion, I turned around. Then Cheon Sa-yeon went to the living room and looked at Fox sitting in the middle of the sofa.

Piiik!

While guarding the room alone, Fox came running quickly, apparently bored. I held the whining Fox in my arms and said to Cheon Sa-yeon.

“What are you doing? Sit down.”

It was much more comfortable to talk informally as I keep using honorifics before because I was noticing people around me.

“…shall I.”

After a moment of silence, Cheon Sa-yeon calmly answered and smiled softly. Embarrassed by the sight, I hurriedly went to the kitchen.

‘Thinking about it…’

It had been a long time since I had been alone with Cheon Sa-yeon in this room, right?

I roughly threw the green tea bag that Kim Woo-jin had bought before into a glass of cold water and touched the nape of my neck.

‘It’s a little awkward.’

No, but why is it awkward? Was it an awkward relationship with that child and me?

I can’t. As soon as I was done with the main topic, I had to send him out. Let’s ask right away what he knew about Doctor, a member of the Praus Cult.

For some reason, I approached Cheon Sa-yeon, who was quietly sitting on the sofa, and handed him a glass of water with a green tea bag.

“Here, drink.”

“……”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who accepted it slowly, made a strange expression when he saw the contents of the glass. Why?

“What.”

“Nothing.”

Cheon Sa-yeon shook his head slightly and started drinking green tea without saying a word.

“It just tastes like water. Did you really put green tea in it?”

Did it taste like water? Cheon Sa-yeon held out the cup to me again. When I received it, this time he grabbed my hand as if it were quite natural.

Piik!

Fox hated the SS-rank energy that was getting closer and fled to the sofa opposite.

Naturally, I sat down next to Cheon Sa-yeon and drank what was in the glass first. It really tasted like water.

“I think it’s because I put a teabag in cold water.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Do you want me to bring you something warm?”

“No. This is enough.”

If you said so. As I put the glass down on the table, I suddenly felt Cheon Sa-yeon’s arm hugging my waist and narrowing my eyes.

This son of a…
