[Chapter 128]
[The Heart That Knows the Answer (5)]
Though he became an exclusive player, there wasn't much to do.
He just enjoyed sightseeing and shopping inside the department store with Han Seo-hyun.
"This is really soft."
7th floor of Yokohama Takashimaya Department Store.
Eun-ha who was looking around the displayed furniture entrusted his body to a soft-looking sofa.
Then he widened his eyes in surprise.
Not only was the sofa softer than expected, but its shape changed according to his sitting posture.
He truly sank into the sofa.
"Hmm... It says it's made of microparticle beads."
"Microparticle beads? What's that?"
"I don't know either. But looking at you... It seems to be a sofa that makes people lazy."
Han Seo-hyun interprets the explanation.
Regardless of her explanation, Eun-ha found an even larger sofa and threw his whole body onto it.
He sinks into the sofa.
He doesn't want to get up ever again.
Eun-ha decided to fully enjoy the comfort.
Though Han Seo-hyun clicked her tongue.
"By the way, there are surprisingly quite a lot of people using the department store even though that disaster happened yesterday?"
Then Eun-ha looked around and expressed doubt.
There are many people.
It was quite strange to see people walking around the department store as if nothing was different while damage recovery work was ongoing.
"It's not common, but it's not rare either. Everyone's adapted. People living their daily lives have no choice but to live their daily lives as if nothing happened."
She answered nonchalantly.
Eun-ha nodded.
He understood Japan's situation.
"And since Kaguya-sama is directing damage recovery work here now, people who think this is the safest place are flocking here."
"Well, I guess that's true."
Han Seo-hyun added.
Eun-ha agreed.
Kaguya who evacuated in the early stages of the incident returned to Yokohama instead of going up to Tokyo to soothe people's anxiety.
"Kaguya-sama can be called a spiritual pillar for Japanese people. Instead of doing politics, she captured people's hearts by taking religion. Well, there are various opinions on whether Shinto is a religion or culture..."
"You know quite a lot?"
"Don't you know I studied abroad?"
Han Seo-hyun rolled her eyes.
Eun-ha pretended not to know and turned his gaze away.
"Eun-ha. Come here."
"Yes, yes."
Han Seo-hyun calls.
In the end, he had to get up from the chair that makes people lazy.
The two walked side by side looking around the 7th floor.
There was no particular reason for the two to look around the 7th floor.
They had no intention of buying furniture, and weren't especially interested in furniture.
They just spent time together looking around with their eyes.
Furniture was just a subject to not spend boring time.
"This bed is nice."
While looking around.
Han Seo-hyun sat on a bed big enough for two people to lie down with room to spare.
She who patted the mattress with her hand lies down on the bed.
Then she soon points to the space beside her with her eyes.
"You lie down too."
"...It's nice."
Eun-ha lay down on the bed too.
The mattress elasticity feels good.
He wants to close his eyes like this.
Even without that, he hadn't been able to rest properly since doing the comprehensive evaluation.
Even today when he received free time, he had to serve as Han Seo-hyun's exclusive player since morning.
"Don't sleep."
"I'm not sleeping."
Han Seo-hyun chided.
Eun-ha who soon opened his eyes turned his head towards her.
She was facing him too.
When their eyes meet, she smiles.
"How do you like this kind of bed?"
"Hmm, it seems nice? It's soft so it would be perfect for sleeping."
"It doesn't feel like it shakes much, and it would be comfortable for two people to use spaciously."
"Isn't it too big for one person to use?"
"That's why I said it would be good for two people to use."
"Huh? Who's using it with who? Do you have somewhere to give it as a gift?"
"Let's get up now."
Eun-ha makes a bewildered expression.
Han Seo-hyun didn't give a clear answer and got up from the bed.
Eun-ha could only tilt his head watching her back as she strode away.
☆
"I don't want to see my person being laughed at by others for not dressing well."
Han Seo-hyun suddenly said.
It was when Eun-ha mentioned that he doesn't have many clothes to wear usually besides his school uniform.
She dragged Eun-ha right away and bought him several outfits from the men's clothing section.
Mostly formal suits though.
"...How long do I have to wear this."
"There's nothing satisfactory besides suits. The kids here have poor fashion sense. When we return to Korea next year, let's go look at clothes together."
"Are you going to make me try on every piece of clothing and annoy me then too?"
"I'm doing all this for you."
"You seem to be secretly enjoying it though."
"That must be your imagination."
Japanese currency is yen, not won.
So the one purchasing clothes was Seo-hyun, not Eun-ha.
Eun-ha didn't have a single penny.
Though the Japanese government said they would support them, she refused saying she would pay Eun-ha's share instead.
In the end, Eun-ha had no choice but to try on clothes as she told him to, and quietly receive the clothes she bought.
"Where are we going next?"
"Shouldn't you be thinking about that?"
"Aren't I your exclusive?"
"...Bracelet. Let's go look at bracelets. This one broke so I think I need to buy a new one."
Eun-ha asks back as if it's obvious.
For a moment she made a displeased face and changed the topic.
Eun-ha confirmed her wrist was empty.
Looking back, the Sound of Mind exerted its power and broke.
"Since that bracelet was a gift from you, shouldn't you choose it?"
It's an irrelevant logic.
Nevertheless, she spoke to him so proudly.
Eun-ha couldn't help but laugh.
"You said you couldn't trust my eye earlier though. Are you sure you want me to choose?"
"I can clearly see you have no eye for choosing clothes. But that doesn't mean you have no eye for choosing bracelets too."
"You never know."
"I'll just refer to it anyway. So I'd like you to speak freely."
Click click.
Han Seo-hyun speaks while slowly taking steps in her heels.
Eun-ha played dumb.
Soon they found an accessory store on the 5th floor.
According to Han Seo-hyun, it's a brand that's quite famous within Japan.
"Which do you think would be better?"
"Hmm..."
Han Seo-hyun asks Eun-ha's opinion while looking at bracelets displayed in glass cases.
Eun-ha contemplated quite seriously.
Honestly, he thought anything she wore would suit her well.
But if he said that, she would rather chide him for sure.
"Ah. How about this?"
Then he pointed to a bracelet with a small cat engraved.
A gold bracelet that's not too flashy.
Just the cat engraved on the connecting part of the bracelet strangely caught the eye.
Just like─.
"─The cat looks just like noona, doesn't it?"
"I told you not to call me noona."
"Anyway. It looks just like you."
"Are you saying I look like a cat? Is that meant as a compliment?"
"Wouldn't you know that better?"
"Do you want to get in trouble?"
Han Seo-hyun poked Eun-ha's side repeatedly.
But her gaze was directed at the bracelet Eun-ha pointed to.
Soon she spoke to the employee and tried on the gold bracelet with the cat engraved.
"How is it?"
Han Seo-hyun holding out her wrist in front of Eun-ha's eyes.
Eun-ha blinked.
Now that he looks, the line from her wrist to her fingers is quite pretty.
Without realizing, his gaze goes to her hand rather than the bracelet.
Then Eun-ha suddenly came to his senses and nodded.
"It's pretty. It suits you well."
"...It doesn't seem to be a lie."
She looks with suspicious eyes. She examines her wrist with the bracelet reflecting it in the light.
Soon a satisfied smile appeared.
She didn't contemplate long and purchased the bracelet as is.
"Where should we go now?"
"...Coffee. I want to drink coffee."
"Really? I was just wanting to drink some coffee too."
"I knew it. Don't you want to eat cake too?"
"How did you know?"
"Don't I know you?"
She who put on the bracelet swings her hand back and forth greatly.
Her steps are somewhat cheerful too.
Eun-ha following behind her like that suddenly felt strange.
Because it was the first time he saw her looking so happy.
"You know what?"
"What? What is it?"
When the two got on the escalator and came down to the floor with cafes.
Han Seo-hyun guides familiarly.
Eun-ha followed her and waited for her answer as if she just remembered something.
Han Seo-hyun looks back at passing people and turns around.
She raises the corners of her mouth looking at Eun-ha.
Somehow that smile is lovely.
"How to distinguish Osaka people from Tokyo people."
"How would I know that?"
"It's surprisingly easy. Are you curious?"
"How do you distinguish them?"
Osaka belonged to the Kansai region, and Tokyo belonged to the Kanto region.
Even though they're both on Honshu, the distance between the two cities was quite far.
That much, they could be called similar yet somewhat different cities.
Actually, Eun-ha wasn't very interested in this matter.
He just went along because she seemed strangely excited.
"Watch closely."
Han Seo-hyun strides forward.
Then she suddenly spins her body using one foot as an axis.
When she completely turned her body, she was in a posture like shooting a gun.
Perhaps to add realism, she even closed one eye.
To Eun-ha's eyes, she looked like she was winking.
"Bang~"
He didn't mishear.
Han Seo-hyun took a gun-shooting pose looking at Eun-ha.
And─.
"─Ugh...!"
"Aaaaah!"
Sounds were heard from behind.
Eun-ha quickly turned around at the sudden sounds.
Two men were writhing as if they were shot.
"Urgh...!"
It's realistic acting.
The two men collapsed on the floor clutched their hearts and flailed regardless of passing people snickering.
"See? Osaka people are like this."
"...Oh... I see."
Han Seo-hyun said proudly.
Eun-ha nodded with a dazed voice.
He wondered if she had this side to her. On the other hand, the sight of her taking a gun-shooting pose while turning her body was impressive.
However─.
─But the people shot just now are bodyguards your father attached without us knowing...
The collapsed people were Koreans.
You can realize if you look closely.
But she walked away with light steps without even looking back.
In the end, Eun-ha decided to keep his mouth shut so she wouldn't be embarrassed.
While doing so, he waved his hand behind his back for the collapsed people to see.
You're working hard even acting.
Eun-ha inwardly giggled.
Han Seo-hyun was quite a klutz too.
He didn't know such a clumsy side was hidden.
As if representing his thoughts─.
"─アハハハハ!メチャ可愛い~!!"
─Ahahahaha! She's really too cute!!
A Japanese woman finally couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out loudly.
She was someone Eun-ha knew well too.
She was─.
"I never thought you had such a side, Seo-hyun. I really want to kidnap you, kid."
─Kaguya Tsukiko.
☆
In his previous life.
Eun-ha met Kaguya once.
It was when Fairy Im Ga-eul attended the Korea-China-Japan summit bringing Ha Baek-ryeon.
At that time, Kaguya found Ha Baek-ryeon she saw for the first time extremely cute.
According to her who could speak Korean fluently, lovely things are the truth.
"You don't know how worried I was. I'm really glad you're alive and well like this!"
"Kaguya-sama, if you do this with other people watching..."
And now.
Kaguya who happened to be walking around inside the department store hugged Seo-hyun as soon as she saw her.
Just like Baek-ryeon was caught by her in the previous life, Han Seo-hyun was caught by her.
That person really never changes...
Eun-ha could only laugh seeing such a scene.
She's a woman who looks to be in her early 20s. But Kaguya was a monster who lived several decades even at the current point.
What's amazing is that her appearance isn't much different in the future either.
"So that man must be the No Eun-ha person you always talked about?"
"When did I..."
"You don't have to pretend not to know! I already know everything!"
Such a person was showing interest in Seo-hyun in this life.
It was understandable for Han Seo-hyun to catch Kaguya's eye.
Nevertheless, Eun-ha couldn't hide his bewildered feelings.
I thought they just knew each other, but to think they were this close...
Meanwhile, the two exchange words in Japanese.
As someone who doesn't know Japanese, he had no choice but to quietly wait for the two to finish their conversation.
But Kaguya who finished talking suddenly ran over to him.
"Hmm..."
Kaguya who stood on her tiptoes examining Eun-ha's face this way and that.
Soon she raised the corners of her mouth as if satisfied.
"Hello!"
"...Hello."
She held out her hand.
It's Kaguya's handshake.
Eun-ha carefully took her hand.
Then she gripped his hand tightly and shook it vigorously.
"I heard well from Seo-hyun. I knew your skills were outstanding, but I didn't know you'd take down Gyuki. Amazing, with such talent in Korea, Ga-eul doesn't have to worry much."
Kaguya speaks rapidly.
Eun-ha quietly listened to those words.
Kaguya is showing interest.
He mustn't let his guard down.
Surely she has business.
Sure enough─.
"─Do you have any thoughts of naturalizing to Japan? For someone of your skill level, I can promise treatment that won't disappoint you."
"Kaguya-sama, that's..."
"Personally, I hope Seo-hyun lives here too. While at it, how about you two naturalize and set up house together?"
"Kaguya-sama."
Kaguya made a scouting offer.
Too suddenly.
Eun-ha just blinked, and Han Seo-hyun tried to say something.
But Kaguya carried on the conversation almost forcefully.
"And isn't it every man's dream to have a harem at least once when born? Harems may not be legally allowed in Korea, but they're legal in Japan! How about it? Interested?"
Kaguya asked as if tempting him.
As she said, harems were legal in Japan.
It couldn't be helped.
Kaguya herself was the current emperor's second wife.
It was unavoidable to maintain Japan's governing ideology by making someone possessing the
Moreover, Japan was in a situation severely lacking roy
Moreover, Japan was in a severe shortage of royalty even before
It was so bad that there was even talk of amending the constitution to allow a woman to become emperor.
After the world was destroyed, Japan adopted the Harem Constitution.
Therefore, in Japan, either men or women could form a harem if it was for the prosperity of the clan or if their spouse gave permission.
"There's a saying that a hero should be treated with respect, but in my opinion, Eunha, you are more than qualified to be treated with respect... You should do as your heart tells you to do!"
Kaguya urges him to answer.
Eunha, who had been listening to the explanation at a rapid pace, soon came to her senses and opened her mouth.
The opponent is Kaguya.
I had to say it politely.
"─I'm sorry, but I have to decline."
"Huh?"
what?
The heart already knows the answer.
The galaxy poured out its heart to me.
Are you saying I'm crazy enough to create a harem?
Harems are crazy, aren't they?
The galaxy was able to hold the chapter in its hand.
He said that he would never start a harem unless he went crazy.
The madman promised.
