Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 288

“It used to be cloudy on this day… but from some point on, it seems like it’s always blue.”

Seora looked up at the sky. The deep blue sky of midwinter was particularly dazzling. Seora’s breath dispersed among the white clouds.

December 31st.

Today, the last day of the year, was the day Seo-ra and Jae-heon’s parents passed away.

In the past, I didn’t want to run into people, so I came the day before or didn’t come at all. After closing the labyrinth, I proudly visited my parents every 31 days.

“That’s what I heard you say.”

Song Hanna, who came with her, nodded to Seo-ra’s words and looked at the sky together.

Maybe the sky is blue because the tears that used to flow on this day have stopped.

Song Hanna turned her attention to Seo-ra, who was no longer crying. Unlike in the past, she was smiling happily.

“Then why did you come alone? “Please bring Rize too.”

Today, not only Song Hanna but also Yoon Jae-heon was with us.

This was thanks to the significant decrease in the number of gates, which also reduced Athena’s workload.

Yoon Jae-heon, who was cleaning up the area around the grave of his parents, whom he had visited for the first time in a long time, asked Seo-ra.

Aside from Seo-ra, Yoon Jae-heon, who was almost the only one who liked Rize, looked very sad because he couldn’t see her.

“I didn’t want to come alone either.”

Seora frowned.

It’s not that they aren’t, they are two people who have lived together for four years and have rarely been apart. It was so bad that it felt awkward to be alone now.

But only once a year. By December 31st, the two had been separated.

This is because Rize refused to visit the graves of Yoon Seo-woo and Hyun Jae-hee with Seo-ra.

“I told you there was no need to worry, but you didn’t listen.”

He seemed to be troubled by the fact that he watched Hyun Jae-hee die and did nothing to help him.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn’t have mattered at all, but Hyun Jae-hee is his mother.

He felt guilty because he had seen how difficult his life had been due to the death of his parents.

At that time, he had lost all emotions and did not listen even when I told him it was okay.

Ugh. Seo-ra sighed deeply.

“You have a soft heart.”

Yoon Jae-heon laughed softly at Seo-ra’s muttering.

Besides Seo-ra, Yoon Jae-heon was the only person who knew what happened between her mother, Hyun Jae-hee, and Rije, the manager at the time.

Seo-ra believed that he was entitled to know about this as he had inherited it through the system.

After learning the truth, Yoon Jae-heon did not hate Rize for neglecting Hyun Jae-hee’s death, but was grateful to her, saying that thanks to her, he was able to inherit his mother’s power.

Even though his two children don’t hate him at all, he still cares. I can’t help but sigh.

Seo-ra hoped that he would not suffer from unnecessary guilt. Because living life happily every day is not enough.

“that’s right. Our Rize is really delicate. Even now, I’m worried that I’ll get hurt. The other day, while I was sitting next to Rize who was practicing cooking, some oil splashed on my arm, and I was so worried that it might cause a scar. “He almost died.”

“There is no way that the skin of an EX-level awakened person, not an L-level one, can be damaged by just a drop of oil.”

Song Hanna made an absurd expression. However, Yoon Jae-heon, who loved his younger brother immensely, nodded very seriously.

“You really care about me. “He’s a good person after all.”

“There is a reason why Jaeheon is the only one who gets along well with Rize.”

Song Hanna sticks out her tongue, saying that although she also loves Seo-ra, it seems to be far less than Rize and Jae-heon’s love.

“But why cooking practice?”

It was already well known to everyone that Rize had no talent for cooking.

Hundreds of years ago, when we fell into Baskar, we ate various things to survive, but since then, we have hardly ever cooked anything to eat.

I once told him that Seo-ra was mainly in charge of cooking since the kitchen almost exploded after I ordered it to cook.

But that doesn’t mean I’m good at cleaning.

But why do I practice cooking so much?

“Oh, that reason is also really, really lovely. Well, if I’m sick, they need to nurse me, but they’re worried about how I’m going to do it since I can’t even do basic cooking. So, I am teaching you step by step. “Isn’t our Rize really nice?”

Song Hanna and Yoon Jae-heon were captured in Seo-ra’s sparkling eyes.

Yoon Jae-heon smiled happily, saying that he was a really nice young man, and Song Hanna’s face became even more sad.

Why is Yoon Seo-ra sick? Who would hurt a child who is also a transcendentalist and a system administrator?

What on earth can I do with a child who doesn’t even catch a cold anymore?

All kinds of thoughts swirled in her mind, but Song Hanna did not utter a single word.

It’s absurd to say that it’s absurd, and anyway, it would be nice if Rize learned a little bit of housework and helped Seo-ra out.

I just hope that Rize can make food that people can eat as quickly as possible.

“Yoon Seo-woo and Hyun Jae-hee. You guys stand now and you don’t have to worry. “There’s someone who takes care of me more than me.”

“that’s right. I’m living well with Rize, so I really don’t have to worry anymore. Just my brother can do it. “My brother is already over 30. When will you get married?”

“No, is it an elderly relative you haven’t seen in a long time? “Your aunt didn’t say anything, so why are you so worried?”

“Yes, it is enough for people to live alone. “There is no need to get married.”

Song Hanna nodded, greatly agreeing with Yoon Jae-heon’s words.

Seo-ra, who blinked a few times while looking at Song Hanna, said something meaningful.

“Auntie, you live with a predator now.”

“….”

Song Hanna closed her mouth and turned her head. He persistently said that he would kill him if he brought him back, but he hasn’t even seen the predator’s snout for four years.

Seo-ra shook her head, knowing full well that it was Song Hanna’s choice.

“Ugh. If my mom found out, she would jump out of her grave. I can’t even come since my soul has already gone through the reincarnation process. Mom, this is not the time to worry about your children. “Now I have to worry about my aunt!”

Seo-ra slapped Hyun Jae-hee’s grave. Yoon Jae-heon, who was watching this quietly, looked at Song Hanna.

“I’m sorry, Auntie. I can’t agree with that guy either. Why on earth did you make that choice?…”

“….”

Despite the lamentations of her two nieces, Song Hanna never opened her mouth. Even when she thought about it, it was truly a choice that made her sigh.

How did you get your nose pierced by a guy like that?

‘If only he hadn’t said he would abandon all social status and become human.’

The moment I heard that, I felt it right away. That he can never escape from that guy.

I sighed sometimes, but that fact itself wasn’t something I hated to the point of shaking my head. It’s not that I love him. It’s just that having him next to me has become so natural.

His disgusting obsession ultimately won out.

“I go first.”

However, regardless of her understanding, it was really embarrassing to hear her nieces sighing, so Song Hanna left the place as if running away.

Seo-ra and Yoon Jae-heon’s laughter followed them for a long time.

* * *

Rize, who was left alone in the Jewel Mansion, was sitting on the bedroom balcony with a panoramic view of the sea.

Seo-ra must be with her family by now. There is no way I can leave Seoul alone and sleep for a night, but I will have at least one meal with my family.

So he has to stay here alone until the sun sets.

Even though we were only away for about half a day, Rize felt very lonely right now.

But there is nothing I can do about it today. I am not yet qualified to visit the graves of Yoon Seo-woo and Hyun Jae-hee.

Although he never said anything directly to Seo-ra, he still isn’t sad about Hyun Jae-hee’s death.

Thanks to Seo-ra, she is slowly regaining her emotions, but the problem is that the target of those emotions is limited to Seo-ra. Ellie is a little more pathetic, but she still can’t compare to Seo-ra.

The only emotion Rize had about Hyun Jae-hee’s death was feeling sorry for Seo-ra.

If Seo-ra had helped her back then, Seo-ra wouldn’t have had such a painful life. Even though they may not live as happily as before the cataclysm, they would not have experienced the pain of losing their family.

But how should I say this to Seo-ra?

I’m only sorry to you, but I still have no feelings about Hyun Jae-hee’s death.

That’s why I stayed here alone without going to the grave. If you go with this mindset, it will be no different from an insult to Seo-ra.

“Would you hate me if you found out about this?”

When Hyun Jae-hee and Yoon Seo-woo’s death became sad, I tried hard to see if I could be more confident with Seo-ra, but it didn’t work.

In Rize’s world, there are only two types of people: Yoon Seo-ra and other people. Only Yoon Seo-ra is precious and the rest are of no interest.

This fact will probably never change in the future.

“So if I get hated by you, my whole world will collapse.”

Rize smiled bitterly as she looked at the sea that Seora loved.

I hope Seo-ra continues to love me even though I feel terrible about myself. Because I didn’t have the confidence to continue living in a world without Seo-ra’s love.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Rize, who had been sitting on the balcony for a while, stood up.

After stroking the head of Ellie, who was sleeping on the bed, he went out of the room and headed somewhere.

The mansion was huge, with many rooms and a complex structure. After starting to live here, Seo-ra wandered around to memorize the structure and got lost along the way.

Fortunately, I had the ability to move, so if it weren’t for the mess, I would have broken through the wall and got out.

Now, four years later, both Seo-ra and Rize have memorized the basic structure. So, without hesitation, he walked towards a room.

The door was made of rosewood and had beautiful work engraved on it. When Rize lived with her family, it was always locked with a key to prevent employees from entering.

However, since living with Seo-ra, not a single door in this mansion had been locked, so Rize opened the door without hesitation.

The first thing that caught my eye was a large family portrait hanging on one wall. In fact, I didn’t even know this was here, but Seora, who was looking around the mansion, discovered it later.

In the portrait, a total of four people, including his parents, brother, and him, were standing together.

The portrait, in which everyone had soft and gentle expressions, showed a harmonious family at first glance, but Rize couldn’t remember when she had painted it.

So there wasn’t much I could tell Seo-ra, who looked at the portrait and asked various questions with sparkling eyes.

I’ve forgotten not only my old name but also my family’s names, so there’s no way I can remember anything.

He was staring at the portrait, but soon looked away. Anyway, what was important now wasn’t the portrait.

safe. His goal was to create a safe that contained only the most important things in the family.

A safe made of solid iron cannot be opened without a key given only to the head of the household. But that was 200 years ago.

After fiddling around here and there, Rize easily opened the safe by simply pulling the handle. The metal that had been torn off was dented, but Seo-ra and I were the only ones who would come here anyway, so it didn’t really matter if the safe was damaged.

“Ah, I found it.”

Searching through the exposed interior, he soon found what he was looking for and his eyes sparkled.

I couldn’t remember if I was here or not, but I was glad.

Now there is something to do until Seora comes.
