ReLife Player Chapter 709

Relife Player 709

[Chapter 181]

[Man with long legs (3)]

Not long ago, I met a man I didn’t know.

The man was somehow excited.

That in turn made her more wary.

Honestly, I never thought I would experience a stranger coming to me and offering to buy me something to eat, as I heard from my mother when I was young.

“Hmph, do you think I’d be fooled by such an obvious kidnapping method?”

A crime prevention whistle given to me by my mother.

She never thought the day would come when she would actually use it.

Anyway, Ha Baek-ryeon blew the whistle and successfully repelled the man.

Aside from that, from that day on, she worried that an unknown man might appear again.

At some point, she began to be careful when going to and from school.

Of course, as the days passed, the vigilance was slowly fading away.

“But I’m glad it didn’t seem to show up again after that.”

Ha Baek-ryeon sighed like that.

I went back to my peaceful daily life.

That day, she was visiting the school library and choosing a book.

Mom is busy with work, so she can’t bother me.

She lived alone with her mother.

After entering elementary school, her perspective opened up and she could see that her family’s situation was not that good.

He also knew that his mother was working late at night for him.

I couldn’t disturb a mother like that.

I wanted to help my mother with her work, but as I was still small and young, I didn’t think there was anything I could do to help.

As a result, Ha Baek-ryeon quietly read books at the store so as not to disturb her mother.

“I’ve read Uncle Long Legs before….”

Recently, she was reading world masterpieces of literature.

World Famous Fairy Tales has already graduated.

So she walked to the literature corner and looked at the books on the shelves.

I enjoyed reading Uncle Long Legs.

The story of a man with no face or name supporting the main character in both material and spiritual ways fulfilled her fantasy.

If only I had someone like Mr. Long Legs… .

I also enjoyed reading Cinderella.

She sympathized more with the female protagonist in Uncle Long Legs.

So I had that thought.

He said it would be nice if someone like Mr. Long Legs would appear and support him and his hard-working mother in both material and spiritual ways.

There’s no way something like that could happen.

Soon Ha Baek-ryeon denied it.

She also knew the reality now.

You shouldn’t rely on anyone.

It was a world where wealth and happiness had to be achieved by oneself.

He said he would work hard, earn money, and make his mother happy.

Ha Baek-ryeon snorted and made a promise.

Soon she was heading to the bookshelves where the world’s masterpieces of literature were gathered…

“—Huh?” “ah….”

One boy.

He had his back to the bookshelf where the books he was looking for were gathered.

If that happens, you won’t be able to browse the books.

It was only for a moment that I was embarrassed when I made eye contact with the boy.

Ha Baek-ryeon pursed her lips and said.

“I have to take out my book… Could you please save me a seat?” “Oh sorry.”

The boy backed away obediently.

Ha Baek-ryeon said thank you and looked around the bookshelf.

However, the boy did not leave the place and just stood behind him.

huh? what? Is there a book he’s looking for too?

The boy seems to be looking at himself.

Ha Baek-ryeon was just awkward.

However, I couldn’t leave without picking up a book.

Ah, I have to read that.

Originally, I just stood there and read the plot carefully before choosing a book.

Ha Baek-ryeon felt awkward being around a boy, so she decided to choose a book just by looking at the cover.

The book I chose was Night on the Galaxy Railroad.

She reached out and tried to pull a book off the shelf.

Right then─.

“—You like the long-legged guy, right?”

“huh?”

“Now, this is it, right?”

Before she knew it, the boy behind her came up and took out a book that was one level below where she had reached out.

It was a man with long legs.

The boy smiled and handed me the book.

Ha Baek-ryeon was dumbfounded.

“…….”

“I enjoyed reading that too.”

“…really?”

I already read that.

Ha Baek-ryeon, who unexpectedly received the book, was thinking about what to say.

At that time, the boy suddenly spoke.

Ha Baek-ryeon’s curiosity arose.

I read Man with Long Legs.

A sense of kinship arose.

So she wasn’t conscious.

The boy was convinced that he liked the long-legged man.

However, at this time, Ha Baek-ryeon just wanted to know about a boy who might have similar hobbies as her.

“—I’m Ha Baek-ryeon. What’s your name? Oh, I’m a second year….”

“…….”

For some reason, I feel like I’ll become friends with this boy.

She introduced herself, feeling an unknown emotion.

☆

At this time, the boy, Little Eunha, was embarrassed.

Using the appearance of an elementary school student, he naturally infiltrated the elementary school and was looking for Ha Baek-ryeon.

Then I saw her entering the library and followed her.

I happened to come this way, but I never thought I would come this way… .

In fact, the reason Little Eunha stopped in front of this bookshelf was because she found a familiar book while passing by.

Daddy Long Legs.

It was a book that Ha Baek-ryeon enjoyed reading before her return.

In the end─.

‘—Oppa, do you know that?’

‘what?’

‘How does Man with Long Legs end in the end?’

‘I read it so long ago that I don’t really remember… . What?’

Before returning, Ha Baek-ryeon, who was all grown up and now a lady, smiled and said,

At that time, Eunha regretted not having asked.

‘Later, the main character gets married to Mr. Long Legs.’

‘what?’

‘I was completely defeated by the person who supported me in both material and spiritual ways. It turns out that the person she had a crush on and the long-legged man she was talking to through letters was the same person. She fell in love both physically and emotionally. Didn’t it fall to both sides?’

‘There must have been an age difference… .’

‘I guess that’s why the man with long legs was so charming. So what does age have to do with it? Even if a man is older, he just needs to be attractive enough to not lose to a younger woman. Of course, in reality, there are very few men like that. ‘It’s possible because it’s a novel.’

‘So what do you want to say?’

‘But you’re attractive.’

‘… … .’

‘He’s very manly.’

‘Don’t play around.’

‘Chi, it’s not a joke. In the past, I thought that Man with Long Legs was a story that could only be found in novels. But you know, I never thought something like that would happen to me. “My brother picked me up and has been protecting me ever since.”

‘… … .’

‘Oppa is my long-legged uncle.’

‘There is a 12 year difference between you and me. And the man with long legs had money.’

‘On the contrary, my brother is second to none.’

‘… … ! ‘Where did you learn that word?’

‘The twin sisters told me this. When those sisters were alive… . And I know everything now. Yujeong also heard about it from her older sister… .’

‘What did you hear from Yujeong?’

‘It’s not a joke.’

‘Does Yujeong talk about that too?’

‘Hehe, it would be difficult to ignore a fairy’s conversation skills. Even her brother won’t be able to beat her with words. ‘Even my heart can’t win.’

The conversation I had with Ha Baek-ryeon before returning.

Little Eunha, who was lost in a flashback for a moment, didn’t even notice Baekryeon Ha approaching her.

“—I’m Ha Baek-ryeon. What’s your name? Oh, I’m a second year….”

“…….”

So the two met.

Not 12 years apart.

Same age as each other.

Little Eunha looked blankly at Ha Baek-ryeon, who introduced herself with a bright smile.

It was a smile that remained in my memory.

“I am….”

Ha Baek-ryeon finished her introduction.

Now it was little Eunha’s turn to introduce herself.

At that moment, Little Eunha stopped.

I can’t introduce her as Noh Eunha… .

Eunha was silent.

A pseudonym was needed.

He rolled his eyes and tried to find a suitable name.

Then, at the end of his gaze, a book caught his eye.

Little Eunha covered the title of the book with her hand so that it would not be visible to her eyes.

Then he opened his mouth.

“—I’m Jean Valjean.”

☆

I entrusted Ha Baek-ryeon to little Eun-ha.

Eunha decided to somehow become friends with her mother.

“—Then I’ll leave here.”

“”””what?””””

Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do.

Eunha arrived at the spot where the body was found and spoke to the clan members.

Choi Eun-hyuk, Kaede, Kang Si-hyung, Bae Soo-bin.

The four people looked embarrassed by the sudden words.

Nevertheless, Eunha remained calm.

“I’ll go around the area and ask for information from residents.” “Are you the only one who wants to do something comfortable?” “Because I’m the clan lord.”

“”””… … .””””

Bae Soo-bin frowned and argued.

Eunha shrugged her shoulders.

The clan members couldn’t say anything because Eunha’s attitude was so shameless.

Soon Eunha changed her expression.

“A body has been discovered around here, and the number of missing people is increasing. I am convinced that there are monsters hiding here. Not just one, but groups of monsters.”

“”””… … !!””””

The Mana Management Organization was making inferences.

However, Eunha advised the clan members in a confident tone.

They each had a serious look on their faces after hearing Eunha’s words.

This is because they have now learned and come to think that there is a high possibility that the unfounded convictions of the galaxy will occur.

“So, never search alone, and think about the possibility of encountering high-level monsters.”

Meanwhile, they were on alert.

Eunha continued.

The clan members nodded.

“Search assuming a group… Then the search location will be decided. Instead of searching on the ground, we should search below.”

“That’s right, please.”

“Even so, it will take time to search with our personnel…”

At that time, Kaede Hoshimiya spoke.

Eunha could tell what she was worried about.

He said it turned out well.

Eunha heard her words and immediately opened her mouth.

“I’ll also ask for support from the clan in Seongnam City. That kind of support… I’m the only one who can do it, right?” “”””… … .””””

I got a just cause.

The clan members looked as if something was wrong.

But Eunha quickly threw the player away before they could say anything.

“Then disperse!”

Eunha immediately clapped her hands together.

Then, he left the place at a trot before the clan members called him.

You may want to request support.

The Mana Management Organization also kept that in mind and gave me the authority to recruit clans from Seongnam City.

I had no intention of neglecting my work.

But there was a place I wanted to stop by before going to meet the clans.

Eunha walked according to the information given by Twenty-Five.

I was soon able to find my destination.

“It’s a handmade hamburger restaurant….”

It was a small store downtown.

Homemade hamburger shop.

It was a store run by Ha Baek-ryun’s mother, Ha Ji-eun, on rent.

Eunha looked up at the sign and muttered softly.

Soon the door opened.

“—Welcome!!”

The tinkling sound of bells rings.

Ha Ji-eun, who was in the kitchen, stood up and greeted me loudly.

Eunha looked around the store.

“Please sit wherever you are comfortable!” “…….”

The store was pretty quiet.

Recently, there have been frequent disappearances and business seems to be not going well.

Thinking like that, Eunha turned her head to Ha Ji-eun.

“…customer?”

Eunha stared at Ha Ji-eun.

The profile said he was 33 years old, but it seemed like it would be believed even if he was in his late 20s.

She looked embarrassed as she received Eunha’s gaze.

Baekryun does take after her mother.

She looks like an adult white lotus.

Whether Ha Ji-eun is embarrassed or not.

Eunha was lost in thought.

I thought about it when I saw the photo, but her appearance reminded me of Ha Baek-ryeon.

Soon, Eunha realized that she had embarrassed Ha Ji-eun.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“Ah yes….”

“I’ll sit over there.”

Eunha apologized to Ha Ji-eun.

Then, I left my seat at the table and sat down at the bar.

The store was empty, so I was able to sit in a comfortable seat.

It was completely intentional.

Because I didn’t come just to eat.

My goal is to get closer to this person… .

The bar was at a distance that made it easy to have a conversation with Ha Ji-eun.

Anyway, Eunha sat down and quietly opened the menu.

There wasn’t much on the menu.

“I’d like to order.”

“yes.” “Please give me a cheeseburger and potato set.”

“What would you like to drink?” “It’s cider.”

“all right.”

The order was completed without a hitch.

She was wary of him at first, but when Eunha ordered, she quickly regained her normal expression.

Eunha chuckled as she saw Ha Ji-eun heading to the kitchen.

It looks like they are showing the same vigilance.

After some time, the dish was completed.

Ha Ji-eun brought a hamburger set.

Eunha ate a hamburger.

“…It’s delicious.”

The cheese was melted properly.

The hamburger bun was savory and sweet.

I felt like I could understand why Ha Baek-ryeon liked hamburgers.

As expected, I was glad I ordered a cheeseburger.

Eunha was satisfied.

On the other hand─.

“—The hamburger is delicious.”

“is it so?”

A quick glance.

Eunha spoke to Ha Ji-eun.

It seems she was bored too.

She, who was sitting in her seat and bruised, responded.

“The interior looks new. I guess it opened recently?”

“It was September last year… so now half a year has passed.” “Is business going well?”

“Ugh, I’m barely making a living. But from what you’re saying, it seems like you don’t live here?”

“I came up from Seoul.”

“Ah, Seoul… I’m jealous. Actually, if I had the money, I’d want to take my daughter to Seoul right away…” “Oh, do you have a daughter? She doesn’t look like that at all….”

“…I gave birth a little early.”

The conversation calmed down.

This is because Ha Ji-eun spoke softly even though Eunha did not say anything.

Then she looked at Eunha with mischievous eyes.

“Aren’t you flirting with me?”

“…yes?”

“It’s a joke.”

Before I knew it, I was resting my arms on the shelf above Eunha.

Ha Ji-eun even joked around.

Eunha was dumbfounded.

“Sometimes, there are some customers who come to the store like that. But when I told them that I had a child, their expressions changed slightly….”

“…Isn’t he very narcissistic? I said that with my own words….”

“So I told you it was a joke. But do you have a girlfriend?”

“You’re not flirting now, are you?”

“Oops, I got caught. It was just a joke.”

“I got married last year.” “Really? You look younger than me. Excuse me, but how old are you….”

“I’m 21.” “Wow, you’re 12 years older than me… Did you happen to be speeding too?” “I don’t have any kids yet.”

“Ah, I see. But what brings you here?”

“I heard that there have been missing people here some time ago.” “ah….”

Eunha quietly cried out.

Ha Ji-eun is just dealing with her as a guest.

At this point, he had to gain her trust by revealing his identity.

Eunha naturally passed the conversation and secretly handed out her business card.

“I came from here. The Mana Management Organization asked me to investigate on their behalf.” “Ah, so you’re from the Pandora Clan… As expected, when I looked at him, I thought he might be a player because he had such a stocky body. But huh? Pandora Clan? I feel like I’ve heard this a lot somewhere….”

Ha Ji-eun accepted the business card.

She tilted her head.

Then he looked at the business card intently and said, “Ah!” He made a sound.

“I know! Pandora Clan! Isn’t that the clan that put an end to the disaster that occurred in Gangbuk last year? It became a hot topic here too. I guess the clan lord there…, uh? …Are you the clan lord?”

“It’s written there.” “Really <Scarlet Wing>? I’m a fan….”

“Even though I’m a fan, I don’t recognize you?”

“Seeing it on TV is different from seeing it in person. Wow, it’s the real thing. Can I take a picture and promote it in that store? Oh, just a few autographs….”

Making a crunching noise.

Ha Ji-eun, who discovered Eunha’s identity, brought a fan and paper from somewhere.

She asked for an autograph.

Eunha willingly accepted.

I get asked for autographs a lot, so I’m used to it now.

“What’s your name?”

“Ji-eun. Ha Ji-eun. Oh, my daughter is a fan too. She’s a fan too….”

“What is your daughter’s name?”

“Ha Baek-ryeon.”

“Ah, it’s Ha Baek-ryeon.”

“Is it okay if I take a picture with you? It’s my first time seeing the person on TV in person…”

“And you’re going to hang it up in the store?” “Oops, I got caught. I won’t pay for the meal instead.”

“I’m going to pay for the meal. I’ll just ask a few questions on your behalf. I need information about the residents for work….” “If that’s the case, I should help as much as I can. It was like a missing persons investigation, right? Business was already slowing down because of that, so of course I should help. Oh, I’ll open the camera app now.”

“…Take your time.”

He is a very foolish person.

Before she knew it, Eunha thought as she saw Ha Ji-eun coming from the kitchen and sitting right next to her.

Soon, she leaned towards Eunha to take a selfie.

Eunha adjusted to her.

Right then─.

─Tingle

I’m trying to take a picture.

Suddenly, a bell rang.

The two people’s eyes turned to the person who entered the store.

“…mom?”

“Ah, White Lotus.”

“…….”

“Who is that guy?”

“Ah, who is this person….”

Ha Baek-ryeon.

She was standing stuck in the middle of the store, carrying a school bag.

she asked, confused.

Ha Ji-eun thought nothing was wrong.

Eunha was frozen.

Either way, Ha Baek-ryeon eventually approached the two.

She catches a glimpse of her mother.

I stared at Eunha.

“I’ve seen this face before…”

“…….”

“Of course you’ve seen it a lot. Baekryun, actually, this person is….” “Ah, elementary school!”

“huh?”

“…….”

Ha Baek-ryeon recalled a memory.

There was disbelief in her gaze.

Eunha was shocked.

Ha Ji-eun tilted her head.

“Mom! It’s this guy! This guy!” “It’s not you, man….”

“Anyway, this guy!” “That’s right, this is the person from ‘Scarlet Wings’ that appeared on TV.” “huh?”

The conversation between the three people diverged.

Baekryeon, who was revealing Noh Eunha’s identity, was stunned by an unexpected sound.

When Eunha heard that he was called ‘uncle’, she was momentarily mesmerized.

Ha Ji-eun kindly introduced Eun-ha to Baek-ryeon, wondering what was so good about it.

And again─.

─Tingle

The bell shook.

The three people’s heads turned.

Four people came into the store.

They were people who knew Eunha too.

“It can’t be done. Even if it’s wide, it’s too wide… Let’s eat first and think about it.” “I agree.”

Eunhyuk Choi and Sihyung Kang.

The two people sighed.

The clan members who came in with their heads down didn’t seem to have discovered the galaxy.

“Ah. Noh Eunha.”

“””uh?”””

At that time, Kaede, who was hidden behind Eunhyuk Choi, discovered the galaxy.

The clan members raised their heads.

Their eyes opened wide.

“…hi?”

Eunha greeted awkwardly.

On the contrary, the clan members were able to find their composure after looking at the galaxy.

Their eyes rolled.

Noh Eun-ha and a young woman are close to each other.

And one girl.

Clan members grasped the situation.

“—Aha, so that’s it? You were just fooling around here while we were working? Haha, laughing and talking too?”

“””Noh Eunha…”””

Bae Soo-bin chuckled.

The three people growled.
