I Returned, But My Power is the Same

3 billion.

It was the amount written on the award certificate.

right?

Is it really 3 billion?

I looked up again, wondering if I had seen it wrong.

By the way, it's really 3 billion.

The lieutenant colonel said with a smile.

“I thought you would react that way.”

“Hey, is this really my bounty…?”

"uh. It’s really your bounty.”

“Uh, how so much…”

“Last time, the Furis Gate gun was included.”

Even considering that, 3 billion is too much?

“Of course, apart from that, the Commander-in-Chief may see Dojin very fondly of you.”

The commander looks very good to me.

It's been like that since Fury's Gate Gun.

If possible, he was even told to stay in his battalion.

“What are you going to do with it?”

“Right now… I have no idea.”

I muttered with a puzzled face, and the company commander laughed again haha.

“I will. It's not 3 million won, it's 3 million won. Anyway, congratulations, Dojin-ah.”

"thank you."

Then point to the award certificate and continue speaking.

“It will be awarded by the battalion commander after Christmas.”

"Yes."

“Then go. I should go and get some rest.”

The company commander turns his shoulders round and round and gets up from his seat.

I saluted and lifted his ass.

The body is lighter than ever.

He's going to fly, so you're talking about something like this.

As soon as I left the commander-in-chief, I had an idea.

3 billion.

how to spend that money.

The first, of course, is the family.

Be filial to your parents as a child, and to your older sister as a younger sibling.

Of course, I am still doing it.

Every time I go on vacation, I buy a present.

But it was only a few hundred thousand won.

It's not that a few million won is less, it's that 300 million is a different story.

Anyway, the first one and the second one...

I do not know.

Let's think about that later.

On the way up to the dormitory while singing a lululala hum.

Three hundred million dollars keep running through my mind.

The corners of her lips curl up.

It's like this now, but later, after passing the promotion exam and becoming an executive, what will happen?

Maybe 300 million won feels like a penny.

I don't mean to brag.

Because an executive is different from a soldier in terms of salary.

I'm already looking forward to it.

Ah.

Don't be like this again.

I haven't even passed the promotion exam, let alone an executive.

And he doesn't end with just passing the promotion exam.

Officer training is also required, and there are many things to do.

Of course though!

Wouldn't it be nice to be happy at this moment?

'Oh yea!'

I burst into cheers for a long time.

***

The weekend has passed and the day has finally come.

December 24th.

It was Christmas Eve, my birthday, and the departure day for Seong Da-kyung's vacation.

“Dojin-ah, happy birthday. When you go on vacation, welcome and go with a happy heart.”

“Uh-huh, where are you just going?”I got a birthday cake as soon as I woke up, but I still laughed.

nice.

It's been a while since I've had a good rest... At that time, someone came into our dormitory with twin wicks in their eyes.

“Mr. Lee! What are you guys doing!”

It was Seong Da-kyung.

His face was flushed red.

She gave a quick glance that it was not the case, but it seemed that she had already lost the bond of reason.

I'm getting beaten up by the superiors and sergeants of the next squad as well.

"Huh? Are you blowing birthday bread?”

“What a birthday cake! And what if you get hurt?”

“Are you his boyfriend? What shield?”

“What kind of shield is a shield! Don't you know that Dojin injured her shoulder while catching a triple-headed minotaur?"

“Ah, that’s right, that’s right… But isn’t that all better…?”

“What is better!”

When Sir Seongde screams, her soldiers falter.

Still, there was a hole through which it could escape.

I quickly touched the shoulder that was injured at that time.

“Ah, uh…”

“Oh, are you sick?”

“A bit…”

At this moment, the acting skills that he developed while making fun of Seong Da-kyung and the promotional video lit up.

All the soldiers were deceived.

walk away right away

"Hey hey hey. I did it as a joke, as a joke.”

“Do, Jin-ah, have a good vacation.”

Do I really have to act as a side job?

Swallowing a laugh, he left the dormitory.

Now it was time to go file a leave of absence.

Oh wait.

Now is not the time to laugh.

I just got over the situation and the next time something similar will happen again.

I think I should talk about it firmly... but Seong Da-kyung was smiling too.

"how was it? I smoke.”

“…was it acting?”

"Huh. But it was half sincere. You hit me too hard.”

“...you are not a hunter, you should learn.”

Seong Da-kyung laughs at my words.

Then, as soon as she thought of something, her face hardened.

“Shoulders? Are you really sick?”

"no. It really hurts. It feels like a sharp knife.”

“Kah, do you feel like your knife is stinging?”

"uh. I think I should go to medical school instead of vacation.”

A face that goes pale beyond hardening.

I couldn't stand it and finally burst out laughing.

“Fu ha ha ha. it doesn't hurt at all I'm also acting. When will everything get better?”

“Ah, what!”

“What is it, in return for surprising me? But how are you always deceived?”

He burst into laughter and went down to the situation room.

Da-kyung Seong says that she will take revenge next time and grinds her teeth next to her.

take revenge

Come to think of it, I also said I was taking revenge on Lieutenant Young So-jin.

When I was sorting out the cold season training crowd, I just got the same thing as I did.

When will you get that revenge?

“Loyalty!”

“Yeah, go ahead.”

"Yep!"

After reporting her, he left the unit.

And they went to their respective houses. I decided to spend lunch with my family and meet again later in the evening.

Since it was my birthday, I had already made an appointment with her family.

“The commander is giving you a bounty?”

"Yes."

An upscale Korean beef restaurant near my house.

After talking for a long time about training in the cold season and what has happened, he brought up the story of the reward he received this time.

“You said you caught two boss monsters, is that why you do it?”

“That’s it, and there’s the Furis Gate gun last time. There are many.”

“Heh heh, that’s true, the commander-in-chief’s bounty.”

Mother and father take turns admiring.

Sister, you have an excited face from before.

“Is there any precedent for a soldier to receive a bounty from Three Stars? I've never heard of it.”

“I haven’t even heard of it.”

“It’s great, it’s great.”

Then he puts down his chopsticks and asks.

“So how are you? How much do you pay?”

Instead of answering, she spread out her three fingers.

Her sister's eyes widen.

“Sa, thirty million won?”

"no."

“No? Then three million… no, that doesn’t fit the three-star scale.”

The older sister who tilted her head for a moment opens her mouth again.

She suddenly held her breath.

“Wait, maybe three hundred million?”

"uh."

At the same time as my answer, my parents' eyes widened like those of my sister.

For a moment, only the sound of sizzling meat was heard in the seat.

I was so surprised when I first heard it too.

That's why the lieutenant colonel laughed.

“I was surprised too. I didn’t know I would give so much.”

“...”

“...”

“...”

Everyone still seems confused.

I said as I picked up the tongs.

“I’m going to eat all the meat. eat."

“Uh, uh. Yes, yes.”

Somehow, the meal went on again.

And after a while.

Parents suddenly wipe away their tears.

“My son… he didn’t do anything for me, but he was alone…”

“Why didn’t my mother do anything for me? They gave birth to me, raised me, always supported me, and there are so many.”

That's all.

My parents paid for the expensive Hunter Academy fee. My family was not in good shape.

my sister is the same

At that young age, there must have been so many things I wanted to eat, wear, and decorate, but I invested them all in me.

said with a smile.

“Soon, as a child and as a younger brother, I will do my best to filial piety.”

***

That evening.

As I prepare to meet Seong Da-kyung, someone stands in front of my door and throws a sinister gaze.

“Hey, Choi Do-jin.”

it was my sister

"Why."

“Did you go to see your girlfriend?”

"uh."

“When are you leaving?”

“I don’t know.”

At that, my sister laughed out loud.

Continuing to throw scornful glances.

"right. I don't know. My birthday overlapped on Christmas Eve, so of course you don’t know.”

"What is he saying now. get out."

When I swipe it with my arm, my sister holds the door and holds out.

“Ah, get out. Don't be weird."

“Sounds strange? Don't you think it's weird?"

In this case, it is best not to answer anything.

But my sister was one step higher than me.

“Can I book a good hotel for you?”

“...”

“It has a swimming pool in it, and it's awesome.”

“...”

“There is a large mirror on the wall, so the atmosphere is crazy.”

“...”

under.

damn woman.I guess I'll have to throw it out and let it go... Uh, wait a minute.

“Aha, did you do that there with the guys you dated before?”

“Wow, what are you talking about!”

“What are you talking about? You're saying it because you've done it yourself, now."

“Oh no! I saw it on your blog!”

“I’m glad I saw you on the blog. father! Noona, listen to what you did with your boyfriends in the past... Whoops.”

“Get out, get out!”

My sister hastily covered my mouth and hurriedly left the room.

You really have to come out like this.

He wiped his hands and prepared himself.

It was a day, so I decorated it a bit.

Knitted coat.

wool slacks.

there to the shoes.

I touched her hair a bit, and it looks like her Hunter T-shirt is almost off.

She left the house and went down to the station.

It was always a place to meet Seong Da-kyung.

Seong Da-kyung always comes first, so today I started a little early.

But it was nonetheless.

Seong Da-kyung came out first today.

With a scarf wrapped around his knee-length coat like mine, he waved his hand broadly.

When did you come out?

“Why did you come out so quickly?”

“I want to see you early.”

“I’m already impressed.”

Seong Da-kyung takes my hand and says.

"No no. This is the beginning.”

"okay? What? Are you telling me now?”

“Um, let’s go first.”

"Where?"

“Good place!”

Because it's a good place, I suddenly remember the hotel that my sister mentioned earlier... Uh-huh, what am I thinking right now?

She shook her head and followed Seong Da-kyung.

Where are you going?

Da-kyung Seong sits next to her and keeps saying other things without telling her where she is.

Hmm.

My expectations are really high.

But when we got there, it didn't matter if it got too high.

"how?"

"Five! Absolutely good, absolutely.”

"really? I'm glad, I've been thinking about it a lot!"

101 Building.

A recently completed high-rise building.

Even there, the sky view restaurant on the top floor was the place where Seong Da-kyung brought me today.

As soon as you enter, your feet stop for a moment.

I was mesmerized by the splendid interior and the dazzling night view.

“Have you made a reservation?”

"Yes. I made a reservation through Seong Da-kyung.”

“Confirmed. Come over here."

I followed the staff to my seat.

But after a few steps, my feet stopped again.

The interior and night view are still mesmerizing, but this time for a different reason.

I ran into two women.

“Mr. Dojin…? It's Dojin, right...?"

"uh...! Yes! Hello!"

"Hello."

Young So Eun.

She then saw her when she was drinking, the younger sister of Lieutenant Young Sojin.

And next to him was Lieutenant Young So-jin. For some reason, her face hardened.

What's wrong with you?

First of all, I did a salute.

“Loyalty.”

“Yeah… Loyalty.”

Da-kyung Seong was saluting next to him.

And as soon as she lowers her hand she puts her arms around me. almost like hugging.

“Deputy platoon leader, can we cross our arms here? It’s out of the battalion.”
