Absolute Necromancer Chapter 412

Episode 412

The next morning, when Jinhyuk opened his eyes, he felt a heaviness.

“… … Here they are again. Why are they sleeping here when there’s a big bed?”

Even though he was clearly alone when he fell asleep, when he opened his eyes, everyone who had been staying in the room was on Jinhyuk’s bed.

Haryu, Hye-rin, Tam, Mi-ho.

The bed was large enough for three or four adult men to lie down on, so there was no problem if they climbed on, but the important thing was that they were not spread out evenly across the bed, but were huddled together around Jinhyeok.

“Ugh… … .”

Jinhyuk was finally able to stand up after carefully pulling them off one by one and pushing them to the side. After lightly washing his face, he picked up his outerwear.

There was still some time left before everyone else woke up, so I thought I’d get the things I’d asked Dongwan to do for me before I went to bed last night.

“Dir.”

-… … Yes? Ah… … Yes yes.

“Bring the things I asked for yesterday.”

-I’ll be there soon.

Dongwan’s half-asleep voice could be heard from the other end of the phone connected to the next room, and soon a knocking sound was heard along with footsteps.

dripping-

“Can I come in?”

“Come in.”

Swish-

Dong-wan opened the open door and came inside, and in his arms were some documents that looked quite thick.

“Is this about the Bell Orphanage?”

“Yes, I looked it up and found that there are other orphanages with the same name. However, I only brought information about the orphanage in the location you mentioned.”

“Okay, good job. What about food and toys for the kids?”

“I’ve already loaded everything into the limousine, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Okay, let’s eat first. There are still a lot of people who haven’t woken up yet, so we’ll probably be eating a little late.”

“Yes, then let’s go in first.”

Jinhyuk felt Dongwan, who had handed over a folder containing documents and bowed slightly, disappear to eat breakfast. He sat down on the sofa in the spacious living room.

Bam-

After lightly throwing the file on the table in front of the sofa.

Jinhyuk picked up the ones on the top and slowly read them.

[Bell Orphanage]

-6 in Seoul alone.

-There are 48 in the entire Republic of Korea.

-It is believed that a specific company is running an orphanage.

– A specific company was found to be the ‘Bell’ group, which currently operates monster-related technology and a powerful group of climbers.

“… … There are quite a lot.”

There are as many as 48 orphanages.

Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as he realized that if he hadn’t made his location clear, he would have had to travel around the country to find 48 orphanages.

But what Jinhyuk needed to know was not all 48 orphanages, but the Bell Orphanage located in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

Although it was a place no different from any other, it was the only place in the world where Jinhyuk had fond memories of his childhood.

“Still, I guess I’ll have to check it out sometime later.”

Even Jinhyuk in his previous life didn’t know that the orphanage he was born and raised in was not an ordinary orphanage, but rather existed in multiple locations like a franchise(?), so he wanted to look into it at least once.

Jinhyuk, who was surprised by the number of orphanages, 48, and who had finished storing the information in his head about the Bell Group that runs such orphanages, naturally turned the page.

[Status of Bell Orphanage Seoul Mapo Branch]

-Director, 1 person.

-Childcare teachers, 10 people.

-Nutritionist, 5 people.

-Original, 342 people.

“… … There’s not much difference except for the original number.”

Jinhyeok knew that the director was originally one person, and that she was a warm person like a mother.

The increased number of childcare workers and nutritionists would have been added to accommodate the increased number of children.

It was natural, since it was not an ordinary orphanage but one supported by a fairly well-known company.

Flap- Flap- Flap-

After checking the situation, there was nothing particularly strange.

Photos taken inside the orphanage.

Photos of the exterior of the orphanage building.

Images of primitive creatures running around.

and-

“… … Please correct it.”

Jinhyuk smiled gently at the sight of the orphanage director dressed elegantly.

She was more than just a mother to orphans.

Fortunately, despite her age, she didn’t look sick.

Jinhyuk covered the file with satisfaction, thinking that he was glad of that fact.

“This much is enough.”

I never hoped or thought that I would be able to uncover all the orphanage’s untold secrets in just one day.

So, Jinhyuk, who was satisfied with the information given, got up from the sofa to wake up the sleepyheads who were still in dreamland.

Now it was time to move. * * *

“Heh… … Heh… … .”

“Can I help you?”

“No! It’s… It’s okay!”

The location of the Bell Orphanage had to be a remote place.

Because in order to build large facilities and equipment, it was good to have a place with cheap land.

Of course, many places that could be called Dal-dongnae disappeared as they went through redevelopment after redevelopment and buildings were repeatedly destroyed and built because of monsters, but the problem was that Dong-wan was carrying too much luggage.

All kinds of toys and food.

Not only was it heavy, but it was also difficult to keep it balanced so that it wouldn’t fall over in the packaging box.

‘Still, I’d rather suffer than have that person’s colleague carry the load!’

However, I could not share the burden with a colleague who had been personally ordered to assist by the association president.

It’s the same even if they ask first.

Fortunately, a relief pitcher appeared to help Dong-wan.

Chomp!

“Tam will help you!”

“Miho too. I ate well yesterday.”

“… … Ugh!”

Wow-

Tam and Miho, who had been sitting on Jinhyeok and Haryu’s shoulders or in their arms, returned to their human forms and approached them to offer help.

Those who thought it was just a large lizard with four tails and a fox, in human form.

Dongwan was so shocked by the sight of her transformed into a child that he lost his balance and the things he was carrying fell down.

“dad!”

“… … Tsk.”

Jinhyuk waved his hand lightly towards the luggage that was falling down at Tam’s shout calling him, and distributed them to Tam and Miho.

Of course, Dongwan still had more luggage.

However, since it is composed of things that are large in volume but light in weight, it would cause less fatigue.

Tam and Miho, who had mostly eaten food, were drooling but did not reach for the food.

“Hehehe, I should give it to my younger siblings.”

“… … I’ll give it to Miho too.”

“Okay, Miho and Tam are more mature than the kids!”

When I told them about the children in the orphanage, they seemed quite excited, as if they thought of them as their own little brothers.

Dongwan, who was taken aback by the sight, hurriedly bowed his head and expressed his thanks, then picked up his luggage and hurried his steps.

Although the luggage was light, there was still quite a distance to walk, and since everyone except Dongwan was nothing short of a superhuman, the pace was fast.

Dongwan gritted his teeth as he looked at Tam and Miho, who were faster than him, carrying dozens of heavy pizzas and boxes of chicken, even though they were small in volume.

Is it because of Dongwan’s efforts?

thud!

“Ugh… … Hak… … Huah… … .”

Dongwan was later than the others, but he was still able to enter the main gate of Bell Orphanage not too late.

“Oh, you’re the one who was supposed to come today?”

“yes…….”

“We’ll carry it from here. It must have been hard because there were a lot of uphill sections… … Oh, thank you. The kids will love it.”

One of the daycare teachers who had been waiting at the main gate shared Dongwan’s luggage with her colleagues.

“… … Kids, aren’t you having a hard time?”

“Yeah! Tom is strong!”

“Mihodo.”

“You’re so dependable. The kids will be happy to have their big sister and brother. That’s because they have such dependable big sister and brother.”

“Hehehe.”

“……he.”

From the perspective of a daycare teacher who didn’t know Tam and Miho’s true identities, the two were pretty amazing kids.

Being pretty and cute was a bonus.

It seemed that Tam really liked the words “sister” and “oppa,” and even Miho, whose expression usually didn’t change much, smiled faintly.

“Dad! We’ll go first!”

“Mihodo!”

“Don’t run, just walk slowly. Well, even if you fall, you won’t get hurt.”

The daycare teacher looked at Jinhyeok with a slightly surprised expression at the word “Dad,” but their gazes didn’t meet for long.

Dododo- I had to run after Tam and Miho, worrying that they might fall while running.

Of course, as Jinhyeok said, if Tam and Miho fell, it wouldn’t be them who would get hurt, but the floor would get hurt, but the daycare teacher didn’t know that, so there was nothing she could do.

“Then shall we take our time?”

“yes.”

“They’re kids… … It reminds me of the old days.”

Jinhyeok started walking towards the familiar interior of the Bell Orphanage, taking Haryu and Hye-rin, who were standing side by side on either side.

and-

“… … Let’s go together!”

Dongwan, who came to his senses late, followed behind. * * *

“Wow! It’s chicken!”

“We have pizza too!”

“Hehehe, Tom brought it!”

“… …I brought Miho too.”

The playground of Bell Orphanage.

What was usually a place filled with children running around has now become a party-like place with hundreds of children crowded together and eating food like pizza and chicken.

Tam and Miho, who brought lots of delicious things, were naturally stars.

Regardless of gender or age, the children in the orphanage were grateful to Tam and Miho and did not hesitate to call them “oppa” or “unnie.”

Among them, there were those who looked older than Tam and Miho, but that didn’t change much.

In the first place, if you were to judge by age alone, there would be only a handful of people in this orphanage who are younger than Tam and Miho.

“Thank you!”

“thank you for this food!”

“Brother Tom, eat it too.”

“Miho, here’s some cola.”

“… … Would you like to eat just a little bit?”

“You can eat as much as you want. It’s what my brother brought, right?”

“… … Then I will eat well!”

A fairly old boy or girl would pour drinks for the children and share them with them so they wouldn’t get sick.

Then Tam and Miho also joined the meal, and unlike usual, Tam and Miho ate really little.

It was natural for Jinhyeok and his group to feel happy, since they could at least see that it was done out of consideration for the other children.

“Pizza is also delicious.”

“Chicken is delicious too. To think of frying chicken. Earthlings are truly amazing.”

Jinhyuk got up from his seat, leaving behind Haryu and Hye-rin, who were enjoying pizza and chicken while licking their oily, cherry-like lips while sitting next to him.

“You guys, just eat here.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to go see the director.”

“Hmm, have a nice day.”

Director.

Although Haryu and Hyerin were tempted to go see the orphanage’s mother, they suppressed their desires.

Because I knew that, at least not now.

Jinhyeok headed to the director’s office, leaving behind Haryu and Hye-rin, who were chewing and swallowing the pizza and chicken they had been munching on, and saying goodbye.

Over the past 10 years, the orphanage has expanded and expanded, and although there are now several buildings, the director’s office remains the same as before, so there was no difficulty in finding it.

dripping-

I knocked lightly and heard a noise from beyond the door.

And the moment he felt presence, Jinhyuk tilted his head.

“I must be mistaken.”

Because what he felt was not suitable for this situation.

Of course, since it was impossible, Jinhyuk opened the door and went in, thinking it was a mistake, and saw a familiar face.

“We have guests.”

“It’s been a long time, Mother.”

“… … Mother. That’s what the kids who left our center often called me… … It’s familiar, but I don’t remember your face. Do you happen to know your name?”

Although he was getting older and his hair was starting to turn gray, Jinhyuk did not hide his name when asked by the director, who was always kind and warm.

“Jinhyeok. This is Cha Jinhyeok.”

“… … No way. That child should have died a long time ago.”

“That kid is me. He’s the Cha Jin-hyeok who used to beat Kyung-hoon with a stick every other day because he would fight with him.”

“… … As I got older, there weren’t many things that surprised me, but today really surprised me.”

The polite manners that were used when treating a guest disappeared, and Jinhyeok was enveloped in warm words like a mother welcoming a child who has not visited her home in a long time.

But Jinhyeok’s stiff face did not soften at Director Cha Jeong-hye’s words.

“Is this the mother I know?”

“That’s right. The last name you use is also my last name. Kyunghoon twisted it a bit and used it as Choi, but you still used my last name as is. Well, you’re both just like little brats.”

As she spoke, Jeong-hye smiled faintly, perhaps thinking of Jin-hyeok and Gyeong-hun from her childhood.

Jinhyuk couldn’t help but flinch at those words.

The origin of his last name ‘Cha’ and Kyung-hoon’s last name ‘Choi’ were, as Jeong-hye said, either taken from her or twisted.

That’s why Jinhyuk asked with an even more stern face.

“mother.”

“Yes, my son, whom I thought was dead.”

Jinhyeok met eyes with Jeonghye, who had a faint smile on her face, and asked about the illusion he had felt.

“Why on earth do you have magic?”

Magi.

It was an illusion that Jinhyeok felt outside the door of the director’s office.

Even though there was only Jeong-Hye in the director’s office, she had some magical power, and now, Jeong-Hye, who was seeing it clearly with her own two eyes, clearly had magical power.

Since it was a spiritual eye that had been infused with spiritual power, it was an unmistakable fact, so the air in the director’s office began to grow cold.
