I Returned, But My Power is the Same

The pain would be beyond imagining if my hand reached that point.

In addition, a small amount of harmful gas is also generated from the magic bomb.

Even high-ranking executives may not know that Seong Da-kyung, who is only a sergeant, can't overcome all the pain and act like it just happened.

The behavior you just showed me wasn't an act to deceive me.

"Huh… … ?”

Above all, the eyes are telling the truth.

You have to believe it because you are a girlfriend, you have to believe it because you did it like that, and you have to trust it unconditionally, not something like that.

I just feel the sincerity.

I guess I misunderstood.

But right now, it's not a situation to be misunderstood or anything.

If you leave it like that, your hands may really fly away.

"wake up! hurry!"

Seong Da-kyung's body was forcibly brought up.

Blood was still dripping from his hand when the magic bomb exploded.

“I will believe you… … ?”

“You really are in this situation… … !”

“Answer me… … .”

"believe!"

Blurred eyes flashed momentarily.

Her lips, moaning in pain, drew a small smile.

"thank God… … .”

At the end of those words, the blood-stained body fell into my arms.

eyes were tightly closed.

He seems to have lost his mind because of the toxic gas.

Seong Da-kyung's body and his injured hand were held tight and hurried into the hospital.

* * *

“What happened?”

“A magic bomb from my hand… It exploded.”

“Magic bomb?”

After completing first aid in the winter.

I met the medical officer who looked after me and Lieutenant Young So-jin again.

I was upset.

It's not a problem to just carry a magic bomb, but if it explodes, it's a punishment.

But let's hide it... … under.

Let's take a look around

"Yes… … I had something to use during training, so it looks like it accidentally popped out of her hand.”

Having said that, I miss it.

The magic bomb that never explodes unless you give it strength seems to have exploded by mistake.

Even if I left it to these soldiers, that wouldn't happen.

Just as I was contemplating whether I should just report this loss, the medical officer said in a tone that it was not a big deal.

"okay?"

“Uh… Yes."

"I get it."

what?

It was really nonsense, but why did you believe it?

What do you think is the case?

“First aid has been completed, and we will proceed with additional treatment after a little while.”

"Yes."

I don't know why.

I asked while coughing.

“I’m sorry to keep asking, but how about the operations officer?”

“I heard that Lieutenant Young had previously served as Lieutenant Choi’s deputy platoon commander and platoon commander, so that’s why you’re so worried?”

The medical officer tapped my shoulder and continued.

“Don’t worry. I’m getting all the treatment and I’m sleeping.”

“Ah, thank you.”

“Thank you, I thank you. There are people like you, so I make a living. Of course, safety is also guaranteed from monsters.”

That's why you just believed that excuse?

But even that is a problem.It's impossible to deceive even the top executives.

“I’ll explain this well, Lieutenant Choi, stay still.”

“… Yes?"

“It’s a complicated matter that you don’t tell me right now. I'll explain that to you, so Lieutenant Choi, stay still."

“… … !”

“Lieutenant Choi doesn’t know me well, but I know Lieutenant Choi a little. I did it to save the citizens by throwing myself away.”

If I was saving the citizens by throwing myself away... Are you referring to the time when it was loaded with the Fury's Gate Gun last year?

didn't know

You will remember me so well at that time.

“Then do what I tell you. Did you know?”

“… Yes. thank you."

“Thank you because I am grateful.”

The medical officer smiled and continued his conversation.

“Lieutenant Choi, stop and rest. Sgt. Sung and Lieutenant Young will let the nurses take care of them.”

"Yes."

He saluted and returned to the hospital room.

Everything that happened today flashes through my mind one by one.

I went to catch the Black Beast...

Then I saw Seong Da-kyung pushing Lieutenant Young So-jin...

But I found out it was a mistake...

Seong Da-kyung exploded a magic bomb in my hand to clear up the misunderstanding... … .

Thinking about it, I unknowingly ruffled the back of my hair.

I wonder what kind of situation this is.

first.

Lieutenant Young So-jin also needs an explanation as soon as possible.

You must be misunderstood like me.

Considering the appearance in the dungeon hall, he doesn't seem to care much... … there is no way

how do you not care

I pushed

One of his colleague and subordinate pushed him in battle.

"Bon appetite."

"thank you."

It was dinner time and the rice came out.

I haven't eaten anything since morning, so I'm getting hungry, but I'm not very hungry for some reason.

no taste at all

In the end, I ate and drank and returned it again.

“Nurse.”

After dinner time, I asked the nurse who came to look after the wound.

“Are Lieutenant Young So-jin and Sgt. Seong Da-kyung not awake yet?”

"Yes. I'm going to go into a sleeping system too, and I'll probably stay asleep today. I'll get up tomorrow morning."

"all right."

“Ah, I think Sgt. Seong Da-kyung will only be able to do it tomorrow afternoon. He drank some toxic gas because of the magic bomb.”

"Yes."

"Yes. then."

it's tomorrow

I guess I'll have to take a deep breath too.

* * *

“Are you okay?”

"Huh. it's okay."

the next morning.

Upon hearing that Lieutenant Young So-jin had woken up, he immediately ran to her room.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

"Huh. None.”

"Phew."

“Are you Dojin?”

“I’m fine too.”

She raised her arms and appeared to be in a bodybuilder pose as well.

Lieutenant Young So-jin sees such a day and bursts into laughter.

“It looks really good.”

"haha. Yes."

"did you eat?"

“I haven't eaten yet. Let's eat together. It will be out soon.”

"okay? Then then.”

“The meal has arrived!”

How did the rice just arrive?

I apologized to her aunt and laid down my share as well.

Yesterday, I was so hungry, I didn't even think to eat, but now I do.

One day, he is cooking rice with a spoon.

It was the same with Lieutenant Young So-jin.

I'm already licking my mouth.

it's bound to be

Except for the heels, I've been starving since yesterday afternoon, so my belly skin is probably stuck to my back skin now.

"delicious."

“The rice seems to come out well here. I ate deliciously when I was hospitalized before.”

“Yes, Dojin, how many times have you been indebted to this place?”

"Yes. I’m a little bit unsatisfied.”

"Huh? I can't get it right Blocking a gate that exploded in the city, and saving Dakyung in a trap dungeon, what a big deal. That’s why I received a commendation.”

The medical officer earlier, and now Lieutenant Young So-jin, all remember me like this.

Something shameful, yet proud.

“Great… … .”

“Seeing you coughing, I guess I was right.”

“You did that last time… … You know me very well.”

“Did I see Dojin for a day or two?”

"haha."

Conversations kept coming and going.

But actually, my attention was focused on something else from before.

Just in time, a name related to him came out, so I opened my mouth carefully.

“Operation Officer.”

"Huh."

"that is… … Sergeant Da-kyung Seong.”

“Dakyung? Why is Dakyung?”

"Yes… … That's what... … That is.”

Since a story is a story, it was difficult to easily connect the words. But it was no longer necessary.

Lieutenant Young So-jin brought up the story first.

“I know what you mean.”

"Yes… … ?”

“Before the dungeon hall exploded, you mean Dakyung pushed me and knocked me down?”

pushed and knocked over.

The story was exactly that.

“What… … Yes."

“Dakyung left this behind.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin is seen holding something.

It was a piece of paper folded in the shape of a ribbon.

It seems that the words you said to me are written right there inside.

“I thought there must have been something, but I didn’t know it would be like that.”

"Ah… … .”

“Dojin must have been very upset with you too.”

"Yes… … .”

Miraculous.

No, it's amazing.

Even though I was a boyfriend, I thought that Seong Da-kyung deliberately pushed me in that situation.

Lieutenant Young So-jin, what kind of circumstances did you think?

So he didn't say anything even when he entered the dungeon hall.

Lieutenant Young So-jin would know about it.

How Seong Da-kyung sees herself.

how he treats

But it's really surprising that he didn't have any doubts, and it feels great.

and… … makes me reflect“What is Dakyung doing?”

“That’s me… … .”

Originally, I was going to say all of this.

Everything from the detonation of the magic bomb yesterday and now lying in a hospital bed because of it.

That way, Lieutenant Young So-jin would also believe that Seong Da-kyung's actions were a mistake.

But there was no need for that.

Lieutenant Young So-jin didn't even suspect it in the first place.

Then this... … What do we do?

“The soup is delicious. I wouldn't have added any seasoning, but it's very savory."

"Yes?"

“Dojin, eat you too.”

“Oh, yes.”

Lieutenant Young So-jin suddenly changes the topic.

Did you notice that I'm having a hard time speaking?

“No, it’s delicious.”

"Is not it?"

You may find out eventually.

Because Seong Da-kyung said he would apologize later and said everything.

Still, it would be better for me to come and tell you in person rather than tell me through my mouth.

Anyway, as a result... … It seems like things are going well.

* * *

“Lieutenant Choi, let’s just take this.”

After lunch, I followed the medical officer into a certain examination room.

He had finished his treatment, but he was there to check once again if there was anything wrong.

ji yi ing-

The inspection was simple.

All I had to do was get into something like a capsule and get some weird rays (?) for a few minutes.

When I got it last year, it was very tickling and awkward.

Now it's as comfortable as my home.

It looks like you've just gotten used to it.

The examination was soon over.

I went outside wearing a robe.

A medical officer was standing there holding some charts. Why are you tilting your head?

“Ugh, Lieutenant Choi.”

"Yes."

“Is there something strange about this?”

“Hey, is there something wrong with that body?”

what?

I was sure everything was fine.

I feel no problem at all.

Fortunately, it did not appear to be a cause for concern.

“No, not a bad ideal… … what should i do with this Something is wriggling in my body.”

“Are you dreaming?”

“By any chance, did you develop skills related to muscles while catching the Black Beast?”

“Oh, it wasn’t created, but it was upgraded.”

“You must have had muscle-related skills from the beginning?”

"Yes."

“That’s right… … Hmm."

The medical officer nodded and murmured.

Then, she opens her palm and creates a spark.

it was mana

“I saw a colonel with that capsule the other day, and something like a flame was wriggling in his body. Like this mana in the palm of my hand now.”

Suddenly, my eyes widened as I wondered what to say.

“And surprisingly, one of his mana-related skills achieved tremendous growth after a while. In all respects of quantity and consistency.”

“That word… … no way… … ”

"okay."

The medical officer's gaze returns to the chart.

And he said in a tone full of conviction, as if there was nothing more to see.

“It looks like something good will happen to Lieutenant Choi’s muscle-related skills soon. It’s more than just going up grades.”
