69 – The mission is over… 2

Lee Ha-na moves in the middle of the city with a sluggish appearance.

At the time when the sun had already gone down, there were sparkling neon signs and quite a few people around, but at this moment, Lee Ha-na’s eyes didn’t see them at all.

She has always been proud and full of confidence.

However,

At this moment, there was no sign of such a thing in Lee Ha-na’s appearance.

Emotions like clear shadows peeking out of her.

It is…

As a result of realizing one important yet heavy fact that her existence, she, was not aware of.

It was the result of recognizing the fear of death..

Death.

It is the end of everything, and the inevitable ending that all living things must face someday.

However, Lee Ha-na has always had the idea that ‘something like that is not a big deal’.

The story that people die someday after they are born, and what is important is what to do with them, was something she had heard from her childhood.

Since all of her family members were heroes, perhaps this could be taken for granted.

Because she always, She

She had the conviction that she too would act as a hero and in the process, like her older sisters, she would be able to face death with dignity if necessary.

Hana Lee has lived her life ruminating on the saying, “It is wonderful to die a meaningful death, and through this you can complete your life as a hero.”

Even Asura, who was the second older sister and one of the strongest S-class heroes, as well as her older sister Ivy, who could be said to be weaker than Lee Ha-na in terms of pure talent and combat power, had this attitude of life, so she felt confident. After all, I had thought that risking my life like this would be very easy to do.

However.

At this moment,

In my heart, Lee Hae, who is silently heading towards her house as she moves her heavy steps.

She had the confidence she had all along until this morning…

Her confidence in her willingness to give her own life had vanished cleanly.

‘I’m scared… scared… something like that… I don’t want to know… I don’t want to experience… I don’t want to die…’

Just the thought of it in her head at this moment made her heart suffocate and made her shed tears automatically.

It was just a moment, but…

It was a deep and deep feeling of fear that she had as a result of looking at the very vivid appearance of the death she had experienced in the moment.

A sense that she has always taken lightly and regarded as insignificant.

However, at this moment, as it was, it penetrated Lee Ha-na’s mind and heart, and vividly showed how terrifying it really was.

‘I hate… I hate this… I want to go back quickly…”

Like that, Lee Ha-na hurriedly urged her steps as much as possible in the midst of the fear that began to attack her more strongly in an instant.

I want to go back to the mansion as soon as possible… Her desire to go back strongly stimulated her heart as it was.

And after a while…

Hana Lee arrives at her mansion located on the outskirts of the city.

Without even thinking about calling someone on the phone, she ran frantically as if running away from a distance that could never be called short.

And finally, the door to the mansion started coming into her eyes.

Lee Ha-na then entered the mansion without delay…

“Welcome, Hana. Are you a little late? Job well done… !”

As it is, I am in the arms of the person who greets her..

She threw herself into the arms of her older sister Ivy.

And…

“Hey… Ugh… Black.. Black.. Unni.. Unni… “

“Why… why is that one? What’s going on? Why… “

The sight of her little brother in her own arms as she begins to weep.

As a result, Evie’s face began to show doubts and concerns.

Hana, held in her arms, was unable to say anything for a while, just shedding her tears.

*

Caught in her fear, after shedding countless tears, she barely fell asleep.

With her brother sleeping in her room, Ivy returns to her house and begins to share her story with Asura about their cousin and the de facto third member of the family. Did.

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes… ? One does that… “

“Yes… Fortunately, there were no major injuries, but it seems that the direct experience of fear was too great for her. It was the first time for him to experience actual combat… “

“Hmm, but it’s a bit unexpected… I never thought Hana would react to her that way though.”

Sura expresses a bit of surprise at Evie’s words.

From her point of view, the fact that Hana, who was considered to resemble herself rather than her older sister, felt the horror and agony of her death, and was accepting it as a surprise in many ways.

“Certainly, if you look at his skills or his usual personality, he has a lot in common with you. But… No matter how similar they are, no two people can be said to be exactly the same. Perhaps in that respect, we may have gone too far.”

“… What are you talking about?”

Evie is talking about something out of the ordinary.

Regarding this, Sura asked a question with a slightly subtle feeling…

Toward her, Evie said in her calm yet slightly resolute voice.

“It is said that I think that she hastily judged the child’s aptitude simply because she is my younger sister. Maybe Hana’s job as a hero isn’t quite right for her.”

Evie said an unexpected story, and Sura showed embarrassment and told her sister about it.

“Ah… No, isn’t that a bit of a leap? Hana has no talent as a hero. Of course, the fear of death is a burden while doing this job, but it’s just your first mission, isn’t it too much of a leap?”

“… I’m talking about this because that doesn’t seem like it.”

She said that and Evie slowly put down the teacup she was holding in her hand.

Shortly after he let go of it, which was still full of contents because he had barely touched it.

She went on and on with her sincerity.

“Sura, you were quite dangerous during your first mission, right? What emotions did you feel at that time?”

“Me?… What am I… To be honest, it was quite scary, but you finished the mission thinking that it was fun just like this, right?”

“After such a successful mission?”

“What then… Of course, I know that she went for a drink with her friends while jumping up and down with joy. To be honest, I really enjoyed it.”

“Yeah, you were like that too, right? It was the same for me I felt the danger when I was in danger, but I quickly brushed it off without taking it to heart.”

A hero is a job that has no choice but to approach death anyway.

In it, the two of them were preparing their minds to become numb to the death to some extent from the first mission, and in fact, since then, the two of them have never really felt fear or fear, although they may feel dangerous about that.

But…

Unlike them, Hana Lee couldn’t do that at this moment.

I kept in my heart the thought that I had to be able to throw away quickly like throwing away waste, and I was feeling the pain of endlessly embracing it without being able to throw it away.

An emotional element that two active heroes do not have.

And about this, Evie, who has seen more heroes than Asura in some ways, spoke in a cold voice.

“Maybe you’ve seen it too… So far I’ve seen a few of those types of heroes. A person who cannot let go of their feelings about death and suffers while holding it in their hearts. And I’ve also seen many times how they ended up. Either you can’t stand it and retire, or you’re forced to endure it, but it’s slowly buried in your emotions, and eventually it’s broken.”

“Ummm… that… Even so… “

Sura can’t bear to refute Evie’s words even though she has a complicated expression on her face.

Of course, she also had to agree with Evie’s words as she had seen some of those kinds of people while living as a hero.

And then, towards Sura.

Evie spoke in a clear voice.

“This problem is not something that can be solved with time. As it is an innate aptitude, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to change it in the end. And from that point of view… “

“… Gut..”

Sura automatically predicts Evie’s next words and slightly frowns at her.

Towards her like that.

Evie spoke in a voice that contained her sadness and pity.

“One is… I don’t think she’s fit for a hero job. Perhaps continuing this will make her life miserable in many ways.”

“… Ha… “

Sura let out a deep sigh at her sister’s declaration.

And,

Feeling the feelings of resignation and regret contained within it.

Tears began to well up in Evie’s eyes.

‘Yes, but… I don’t know how he will take this… Maybe he resents me and Sura… ‘
