I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 55 popularity

“Loyalty…!”

“Uh, yes.”

The battle cap and the three Mugunghwa on the shoulder epaulets freeze the soldiers at once.

So did I, of course.

My body is stiff and I can’t move.

“He’s the sergeant-at-arms. To see just how skilled our soldiers are, I poked around a bit, and it exceeded my expectations. Well done. Very well done.”

“thank you!”

“Especially our Choi… Dojin? Uh, Private Choi Do-jin.”

“Pr. Dojin Choi!”

“Yeah, was it really that great? Moros is said to be a monster that can catch even a first-class level monster, but that’s still the case.”

“I think it was possible thanks to the crew!”

“The answer is great too.”

“Loyalty!”

“Loyalty!”

Next, Lieutenant Park Ki-ho and Lieutenant Young So-jin jumped up.

It seems they have just heard the news that the division’s chief of operations is here.

face full of cold sweat.

The trembling of looking at three Mugunghwa is the same as us and officers.

“Are you the commander of the 5th squad?”

“The so-called Park Ki-ho! That’s right!”

“You taught the crew very well. The response was good and the action was very quick.”

“no! It just seems like the crew did well on their own!”

“It is only possible if there is someone who tells you what you are good at. You are very virtuous.”

“thank you!”

Lieutenant Park Ki-ho’s voice echoes in the vicinity.

It’s not like the one I used to see while lying on the side in the dormitory earlier and watching TV.

“Is this the search team?”

The head of the division’s operational staff turns to Lieutenant Young So-jin.

“So-called Young Sojin! Yes! I’m in charge of the search team!”

“You suffered too.”

The division chief of operations chuckles.

A very satisfied face.

Then, he looked at an officer who had been standing beside him since before, with his hands clasped in a respectful way.

Today was the duty commander.

“Give me a bounty for these great soldiers in my name. Lieutenant Park and Lieutenant Young as well.”

“all right!”

“Ah, this friend is especially caring.”

“Pr. Dojin Choi!”

As the division chief of operations said so, he patted me on the shoulder.

Is this a dream right now, is it real?

The division chief of operations told me to take special care of me.

It would have been unimaginable before the return.

It is a moment that brings a smile to your lips.

***

“Thanks to Dojin, what kind of windfall is this?”

“Heh, how much would you give as a reward for the division’s operational staff?”

“Isn’t it similar to what the battalion commander gave me?”

“No. Even if it’s not officially worn yet, it’s a colonel (Jin) anyway. It must be more than the battalion commander gives.”

“Hey, is the amount a problem now? We did the snow painting right today. Will it be reflected in the performance?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Then how much is Dojin reflected, the hell?”

After the situation is over and you return to the dormitory.

It’s noisy all around

It wasn’t just the male hunters.

The female hunters also gathered around me.

“We couldn’t even go up the hill, but thanks to our comrades, we get paid.”

“that’s right. thank you.”

“How are you better than me and your squad leader? You look like a strange person to me, Dojin-san.”

Seong Da-kyung also said a word.

Then the soldier next to me extended both palms to me. It was Oh Yeon-jung.With Seong Da-kyung behind me, I bumped into Oh Yeon-jung from the palm of my hand.

“Comrades, you did a great job today!”

“Ha ha, no.”

Oh Yeon-jung smiles and raises her thumb.

The other soldiers continue to treat me like that, which makes me a little embarrassed.

I said scratching the back of my head.

“I think today’s work was really possible because we all worked together.”

“It was possible because we were all together, but you must have played the most important role, right?”

right.

I had the most important role.

It’s not meant to be funny, it’s because they failed miserably before the return.

But it is also important that we were able to do it all together.

‘Even if only the cancer has become stronger, it doesn’t make sense for me to break through so many Moros alone in such a short time.’

Anyway, I’m curious too.

How much would you give as a reward for the division’s operational staff?

‘The bankbook is going to be a little thick.’

It’s just a bounty.

Performance will also be quite high.

‘It’s not that big of a deal to capture Moros, but it’s a different story if the division’s operations staff are there.’

Performance cannot be determined separately.

However, the performance to be accumulated today is predictable to some extent even if you do not find out.

‘great. Let’s keep building up like today.’

After that, the dormitory was in full swing.

Second Lieutenant Park Ki-ho, who had been down in the situation room for a while, came up soon and praised the work.

Is this the case that I don’t know where to put my body?

Second Lieutenant Young So-jin, who followed, also said a word.

“Dojin-ah, do you understand now?”

“What are you talking about?

“Yesterday, why, if the squad leader and the division leader suddenly left, and someone had to entrust the squad, Dojin said that he wanted to entrust it to you.”

“Ah.”

“That’s why it is. How trustworthy.”

I answered with a shy face.

Lieutenant Young So-jin sees me like that and smiles.

“Good job, our Dojin.”

say you did well.

Especially when I hear that from Lieutenant Young So-jin.

Would it touch my heart a little more?

I kind of feel that way.

“thank you.”

“I am more grateful. How many points did Dojin score today thanks to you?”

that’s interesting.

Before returning, I was always in a position to get help.

now i’m helping

It’s especially strange because the opponent is Lieutenant Young So-jin.

“Let me have lunch.”

“Yes!”

After talking for a while, we ate lunch.

And it came back to the normal five-stage daily life.

Waiting.

wait again.

That time went on without a hitch.

Then, around 15:00, the unexpected happened.

“From now on until dinner, it is said that they guarantee their own time.”

“Yes···?!”

“It is said that the battalion commander gave special instructions after hearing about the division’s operations staff.”

5 It’s autonomous time during standby.

Besides, it is almost three hours between now and dinner.

Of course, the words are autonomous time, but the task is the same.

You must be ready to go out at any time.

But nonetheless.

Where can you get out of your lifestyle?

“Convenience facilities are available only within this headquarters building.”

“Yes!”

“The radio is always on standby.”

“Yes!”

“They are already excited.”

He says so, but Lieutenant Park Ki-ho is the most excited face.

“Then go wherever you go.”

“all right!”

The soldiers rush out of the dormitory.

Most of the male hunters went to game rooms, and the female hunters to karaoke rooms and cafes.

Second Lieutenant Park Ki-ho also moved right away.

Hmm.

what do i do

rumbling-

It’s been a while since I had lunch and I’m already hungry.

Did you lose too much strength to catch Moros earlier?

I guess I’ll have to eat something first.

I was rubbing my stomach making a gurgling sound, and a female hunter stood in front of me.

It was Seong Da-kyung.

“Dojin, are you hungry?”

“Yes. I’m already hungry.”

“Then do you want to go to Hunter Mart with me? It was right down there.”

“I’m fine.”

“Comrade! Can I go too?”

Then, another female hunter intervenes.

It was Oh Yeon-jung.

“Yes. I don’t care.”

In response to my answer, Oh Yeon-jung’s gaze turned to Seong Da-kyung.

“Sergeant Da-kyung Seong, can I go too?”

“Ah… yes. I can’t go.”

“thank you. That’s right, comrade!”

Oh Yeon-jung comes to me again.

“You were supposed to repay your work yesterday. I’ll go to Hunter Mart right now and buy you something delicious.”

“Ah, no.”

“it’s okay. Eat whatever you want.”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“I’m going to have to open my wallet today.”

“like. Feel free to brush it off.”

Oh Yeon-jung smiles and leaves the dormitory first.

I also follow, but Seong Da-kyung does not go out and stands still.

what?

“Mr. Da-kyung?”

“Ah, I was thinking about something for a moment. Go.”

“Yes.”

Haha-ho-ho, he entered the Hunter Mart located in the basement of the headquarters building.

It was probably smaller in size than the separate place at the bottom of the training ground, but everything was there.

On one side, the chicken was fried.

Oh Yeon-jung sprinted towards it.

“Comrade, chicken?”

“It’s of Coles.”

“Do you want to drink Coke?”

“sure.”

You seem to remember the story you told yesterday while going to the soldier’s restaurant.

Her hands were not enough to lift them all by herself, so I went with her and raised the chicken.

Seong Da-kyung was also next to her and grabbed a Coke.

“You seem to have become very close with Yeonjung. I know your tastes.”

“I found out while we were talking.”

“He talked a lot with me.”

“Yes?”

“no.”He soon took a seat and sat down.

Chicken, cola, and various kettles are placed on the table, so one table fills up quickly.

Of course, all of this was not photographed by Yeonjung Oh.

Seong Da-kyung bought the kettle.

At the same time, Oh Yeon-jung was talking about it.

She said, “I was going to buy them all . . .”

“Mr. Dojin, it’s a different company, but I’m different. How can I get it?”

As soon as Seong Da-kyung said that, Oh Yeon-jung turned to me.

“Comrades, I still bought chicken and Coke.”

“Yes, I will eat well.”

I picked the chicken leg first.

And I handed it over to Seong Da-kyung.

“Would you like to eat chicken legs?”

“Yes.”

Seong Da-kyung answered as if he was waiting, and immediately accepted the chicken leg.

He hasn’t even put it in his mouth yet, but he’s already smiling broadly.

You seem to like chicken legs very much.

“Comrade, what about me?”

“Ah, I’m going to give it to you now.”

I also handed one of the remaining chicken legs to Oh Yeon-jung.

I grab the stick and try to tear it off, but Seong Da-kyung puts out her hand.

You can hear the chicken legs I just gave you.

“Dojin is eating this.”

“Are you Da-kyung?”

“I like breast meat, too.”

Yes?

Wasn’t it because I just smiled broadly because I liked chicken legs?

Oh, is it just because I like chicken itself?

“It’s Seongda-kyung, Seongda-kyung.”

“Wow, it’s pretty, it’s pretty.”

“They said the real thing was more like a goddess, but it was real.”

At that time, the soldiers belonging to the headquarters go past our table and gossip.

Seong Da-kyung doesn’t even care as if she’s familiar with it.

Oh Yeon-jeong suddenly spoke up.

“Sgt. Seong Da-kyung seems to be very popular.”

“Huh?”

Da-kyung Seong put down the Coke she was drinking and looked at Yeon-jung Oh.

“I’ve only seen it for a while, but I thought it would be terrifying if I went out.”

“…”

“If I ever have a boyfriend, I would be very worried about him becoming that boyfriend. Your woman would be surrounded by other men every day.”

“…”

“I’m very envious of you because you are so popular.”

Hmm.

I’m not saying it’s wrong, but if it were Seong Da-kyung that I know, it wouldn’t happen.

I don’t even pay attention to other men.

Just like you didn’t even care.

Oh Yeon-jeong said with a sigh.

“Oh, I want to be popular too. Dad is the only man around.”

“You are attractive enough, too.”

“really?”

“Yes.”

“thank you.”

“But is there really only one man around you?”

“Yes. So, if I have a boyfriend, I can never make him worry about men.”

“Yeonjeong-ah.”

Seong Da-kyung, who continued to say nothing while talking with me, suddenly opened her mouth.

“Lee Byung Oh Yeon-jung.”

“You seem really unpopular. If there is only one man around you, your father.”

“Ah yes.”

“Then you didn’t think about it that way, did you?”

As if comforting, but for some reason, a sharp voice continued.

“I think your appearance is a little off. In the first place, popularity is judged by appearance.”
