I am not a returner Episode 205
Interlude – New Hope (2)
“…Hey.”
Ha-eun’s cold eyes turned to Oh-jin.
She pointed at Isabella with the tip of her chin and glared at Ojin.
A silent gesture as if asking someone to explain what kind of situation this is.
“I’ve never done that.”
Oh Jin protested in a voice that said the world was unfair.
“Hmm.”
Ha-eun narrowed her eyes and turned her head toward Isabella.
“I heard you’ve never done anything like that?”
“Hehe. “I think it’s because Oh Jin is embarrassed.”
Isabella shrugged her shoulders and looked at Ojin with seductive eyes.
“Oh Jin said that, right? “You will become my new hope.”
“…What on earth does that have to do with the maid?”
There is no way that becoming my maid is a new hope.
“oh? “Is that my new hope?”
There you go.
“No, what is that…”
Ohjin looked at Isabella with a puzzled expression.
Is becoming your own maid your new hope?
It’s not some cheap porn movie, but isn’t this a very unexpected development?
“Hehe. just joke.”
Isabella walked towards Ojin with a pretty smile.
Her curly platinum-blonde hair flowed like a stream.
“Of course, I’m serious about moving into Oh Jin’s house.”
“Heng. “Why are you coming here? It’s not your house, but it’s a house in my name?”
“Oh, did you do that?”
Ha-eun nodded proudly.
“So, you first asked for my permission as the owner of the house…”
“So, you were the one who dropped the fireball on my mansion, right?”
“uh?”
Ha-eun looks embarrassed.
“But why?”
“no. “I didn’t know much about the stigmata of Dragon, but I thought it was much more powerful than I imagined.”
Isabella smiled brightly and spoke in a soft voice.
“The fire was so strong that all the valuables and works of art in the mansion were reduced to ashes.”
“Uh uh that’s that.”
“Hehe. I know. “You had no choice but to do that to help me, right?”
“That’s right!”
Ha-eun quickly nodded.
In fact, rather than helping Isabella, he poured out the fireball without thinking after hearing Ojin’s instructions.
“No matter how much money the Colgrande family has, the loss this time is significant. “To put it mildly, we are in a bit of an awkward situation because valuables worth 1 trillion won have all been burned.”
“1 trillion?”
Ha-eun’s mouth opened wide.
1 trillion won.
‘How much is that?’
For a moment, my mind went blank at the amount of money I had never imagined.
In the first place, I only saw money exceeding ‘hundreds of millions’ in news or articles, but this was the first time I actually heard about it.
No matter how much money an awakened person earns, it is not easy to earn trillions of dollars.
No, in fact, it was an impossible amount unless you were the head of a large guild or ran a business yourself.
‘So you’re saying that I burned Joe, not just billions?’
In the end, she provided support fire to protect Isabella from Damian, so it was not her responsibility whether she burned Bill or Joe.
“I… I’m sorry.”
The amount of money was so large that my mind went blank for a moment, and the words of apology naturally escaped my lips.
“Oh, if you think so, you don’t mind renting a room at Ha-eun’s house while the mansion is being rebuilt?”
“ok? “Oh no, that’s it.”
“Of course, I know that you tried your best to help me, but… you still wouldn’t turn my mansion into ashes and not give me even a single room, right?”
Isabella’s eyes lit up and she cleverly put pressure on Ha-eun.
“Is that so…?”
“Thank you, Ha-eun. “I will not forget this favor.”
It seems as if he is not holding the real power of the Colgrande family for nothing.
While continuing to gaslight one-sidedly with words that could not even be called logical, he successfully cooked Ha-eun brilliantly with only small gestures, eyes, and tone of voice.
“Then I’ll go in.”
Isabella naturally took off her shoes and entered the house, as if she had come to her own home.
She narrowed her eyes as she looked around the 20-pyeong house.
“The house is a bit small for three people to live in.”
Just right.
I snapped my fingers.
“Roberto.”
“Did you call me?”
An old man dressed in neat butler clothes walked out from among the security guards wearing sunglasses.
“This was the 7th floor, right? Buy all the houses on this floor. No, it would be better to just buy the entire apartment. “I’ll give it to you for a month, so you can either pay extra or buy it all.”
“All right.”
Roberto bowed with a calm expression.
“Now wait a minute! “What are you going to do when you buy a house?”
“hmm? What should I do? I’m planning to make the house more spacious by constructing the inside of the apartment. “It’s a bit inconvenient for three people to live in this house, right?”
As Isabella said, it was true that it was a bit inconvenient for three people to live in a house of about 20 pyeong.
“…If you want to expand, can’t you just buy the house next door?”
“I just don’t want other people to be in the same building as Oh Jin.”
Isabella says nonsense with a calm expression.
“…”
Are you saying that you are going to purchase the entire large residential-commercial complex apartment complex for just that reason?
“Oh Ojina, what on earth is she?”
“I do not know either.”
“It looks like he got hit in the head with a shotgun!”
“I think I know what your sister said was a bit harsh.”
What kind of shotgun is a shotgun?
“Well… there is a reason for that.”
Isabella continued speaking in a calm voice.
“Oh Jin and I must have become targets of the Black Star Society because of this incident. “It is safer in many ways to have security guards in this apartment and make it like a fortress.”
“Hmm. “Well, it’s like that.”
Certainly, from the Black Saints’ standpoint, there was a strong possibility that they were targeting Isabella and Ojin, who were at the center of this incident.
Although it may not be grandiose enough to use the expression “fortress,” it would be good to prepare to some extent.
“Then I can use this room?”
Isabella slightly opened the door to the room being used as a storage room.
Even though it was a warehouse, there wasn’t a lot of stuff piled up there.
A few clothes and simple household items.
Just right.
Isabella lightly snapped her fingers, and the bodyguards waiting in the hallway came rushing into the house and started unpacking the luggage they had brought.
Is it because each of them is an awakened person with a transcendent body?
It took less than 10 minutes to unpack the luggage and decorate the room with a luxurious interior suitable for Isabella.
“It’s over, ma’am.”
“great job. “You can go out now.”
Isabella nodded with satisfaction.
The security guards who came in came rushing out again.
It felt as if a huge wave had come in and gone out.
It was Isabella who broke the awkward silence in the house.
“Has everyone eaten?”
“No, I haven’t eaten yet.”
Ha-eun opened the delivery app on her smartphone with an expression of disappointment.
“I’m going to order delivery. What do you want to eat?”
“…Delivery?”
“ok.”
“You’re telling Oh Jin to eat bad food like delivery food?”
Isabella frowned as if wondering what kind of nonsense that was.
Ha-eun nodded with a puzzled expression.
“ha. “Really… I didn’t see it that way, Ha-eun, so I’m a bit disappointed.”
“Oh, Ojini likes delivery food….”
“It’s not because Ha-eun can’t cook, is it?”
“omg.”
Ha-eun feels like she’s hit the nail on the head and can’t speak.
As if Isabella knew this would happen, she took out fresh food ingredients stored in the icebox from the trunk she had prepared.
“I will make it for you in a moment, so just wait a moment.”
Isabella went to the kitchen and started making food.
“Ojina….”
“Uh, yes.”
“Do you really like delivery food because I can’t cook?”
Accurate.
“Ah, Isabella is saying that because she doesn’t know much about the quality of Korean delivery food.”
“right? “It’s not because you can’t cook, right?”
“Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go “What my sister made was so delicious.”
I looked back at Isabella while comforting Ha-eun, who was drooping.
‘But it’s gotten a lot better.’
Considering how she cried when she killed Paulo, her recovery was quite fast.
Ojin looked at Isabella’s back with a faint smile.
“Okay, dinner is ready!”
Isabella put the food on the table.
A very Korean table consisting of japchae, pancakes, and soft tofu stew.
“I’ve been practicing a lot of Korean food. “Try it once.”
Isabella quickly sat down next to Ojin and spoke in a confident voice.
“I’ll eat well.”
As if she wasn’t overconfident for no reason, the dish she made tasted so good that it could have come from a traditional Korean restaurant.
“…It’s a truly balanced game. “If a rich, big-breasted girl is good at cooking, what are you going to say to me?”
I heard Ha-eun, who was sitting across from me, grumbling and complaining.
[Anyway.]
Vega, who was sitting on Ojin’s head and quietly observing Isabella, slowly flew up.
[I heard that you were an executive officer of the Black Star Society.]
Shocked.
Isabella’s shoulders trembled slightly.
“that’s right.”
[Hmm. I have heard about your situation from my child.]
“…My child?”
Isabella tilted her head as if she thought there was something strange about Vega’s expression.
Come to think of it, Isabella didn’t know that Vega was a constellation.
[The original woman is Vega, the constellation of Lyra.]
“Yes? “It was a constellation, not a guardian spirit?”
Isabella opens her eyes wide and looks at Ojin.
Ohjin nodded quietly.
“I didn’t know that constellations could directly appear on Earth.”
“This is possible because Vega is the constellation of the North Star.”
Isabella looked at Vega in surprise.
Vega looked up at Isabella with her arms crossed and opened her mouth.
[The circumstances are perfect, but it still feels shameful that I have been deceiving my child all along.]
“I’m sorry.”
[Make sure to atone for this.]
“Of course.”
Isabella pulled Ojin’s arm with determination in her eyes.
“From now on, I will ask Mr. Ojin for forgiveness throughout my life.”
[Hmm? No, there’s no need to do that.]
Isabella clung to Ojin and rested her head on his shoulder.
“I will dedicate my whole body and mind to Mr. Ojin.”
[Stop that! Stop and atone!]
Vega shook his head with an embarrassed expression.
“ha. “I thought it would end up like this.”
Ha-eun sighed and glared at Oh-jin.
puck.
He kicked Ojin’s shin under the table.
Oh Jin lowered his head as if he had nothing to say.

After the meal is over.
While Ha-eun and Vega were cleaning up after themselves, Oh-jin helped Isabella organize the remaining luggage in her room.
“…Why did you bring the maid uniform?”
Ojin took out a black maid uniform from the trunk and looked back at Isabella.
Isabella smiled brightly and lifted up her maid uniform.
“I told you, right? “I will become Oh Jin’s exclusive maid from now on.”
“You said you were joking?”
“Hehe. well. Was it really a joke?”
Isabella smiled mischievously and hugged Ojin’s arm.
“Oh Jin, if you want… I can really be your maid?”
Isabella, holding his arm, whispered in his ear in a seductive voice.
While Ojin hesitates about what to answer.
“By the way, Oh Jin. “Did you enjoy your meal?”
“Oh yes. I enjoyed it very much.”
“Then…I have to eat soon too.”
She lightly stroked the nape of Ojin’s neck and quenched her appetite.
“Is it okay if I eat you, master?”
yes?
Me?
