Became a Swordmanship Instructor at the Academy
Chapter 274
-Are you leaving?
"Yeah. Big brother. I'm about to board the plane now."
-Alright. Big brother is also heading to the airport right now. See you later.
I had been worried a lot when he suddenly said he was wrapping up his life in Seoul and going to Jeju Island.
I heard that his novel became a huge hit and he made a lot of money, but big brother didn't seem very happy about it.
Of course, he bought a lot of alcohol and meat for me and gave me plenty of pocket money, but he had done that before too.
Rather, he seemed to have a somewhat darker and more depressed atmosphere than before.
Moreover, he even asked about our parents, something he had never asked about before, and even met them directly.
Most decisively, a month ago, he completely packed up his house and moved to Jeju Island, a place he had no connections to at all.
There's a saying that when a person does something they've never done before, they're going to die, but surprisingly, big brother’s voice was very bright.
Is he suited for Jeju?
"We'll be taking off soon, so please fasten your seatbelts."
"Yes."
After a 40-minute flight, I arrived at Jeju Airport.
As soon as I got off, I could see big brother waiting for me.
He was wearing a colorful floral shirt, so I could spot him at a glance.
Not only his voice, but his face also looked good.
"You're here? Give me your luggage."
"Thanks."
"Good job coming all this way."
"What do you mean good job? It's quick by plane."
"I'm grateful that you took the time to come. Let's go. The parking lot is that way."
"Did you buy a car? What did you get?"
"I just bought a used car. It's hard to get around Jeju without a car."
I left the airport with big brother and headed to the parking lot.
Since he lives alone, I thought he would have bought something like a mid-size car, but what do you know. Big brother stopped in front of a red sports car.
"Give me your backpack too. Even though the car looks small, the trunk is surprisingly spacious."
"Big brother, don't tell me this is your car?"
Big brother, who usually wasn't very interested in cars, why did he buy a car like this...
"Then would I tell you to get in someone else's car? Just get in quickly."
Big brother said while putting my suitcase in the trunk, and it really seems to be big brother's car.
"Isn't this a foreign car?"
"It is, but it's used so it wasn't that much. Oh, this roof opens too."
As he spoke, he put on the sunglasses hanging around his neck, and it doesn't seem like our big brother.
He said it wasn't much, but it looks like it would easily cost several thousand...
"Yeah, big brother. Lives and spends like this."
"Even if you don't say that, big brother actually spends quite a lot. You'll be surprised when you see the house."
"Is the house far?"
"It takes about 40 minutes from here. You didn't eat lunch, right?"
"I bought and ate a hamburger at the airport before boarding the plane."
"Is a hamburger a meal? It's a snack."
"Why, are you planning to take me to a famous restaurant?"
"No, we're going home."
"Home? Yeah. I want to eat big brother's pasta after a long time."
"Pasta? There should be pasta too."
"What do you mean 'there should be'? Don't tell me you called catering or something?"
"What are you talking about? What catering would I call just because you're coming? It's not like that."
Then what is it? Could it be that he's living with someone?
No way. big brother has always said he had no intention of getting married.
He said he wasn't the type to take responsibility for someone's life.
But now the situation is different, so I hope he meets someone.
"Is Hye-seon taking care of the beauty salon?"
"Huh? Well, yeah. If both of us come down and close the salon, we'll lose customers."
"Is that so? But next time, bring Hye-seon too. Big brother will give you a proper tour."
"Okay. Actually, I was just talking about big brother with Hye-seon recently."
"About me? What about?"
"Hye-seon knows an older sister who's an elementary school teacher, and she said she originally worked in Seoul but recently moved down to Jeju Island. If big brother is okay with it, maybe an introduction..."
"I don't want to."
"Aw, big brother, don't be like that and meet her once. I saw her with Hye-seon once before, and she was pretty, had a good personality, and was kind."
"I said I don't want to. If she's someone with such good conditions, there must be many people who want to date her. I'm fine."
"What do you mean you're fine? I talked about big brother and her reaction wasn't bad either."
"Lee Si-woo."
"Still, you could meet her once."
I kept insisting, but big brother frowned deeply and shut his mouth.
It's such a shame.
"Don't be like that, I'll show you her photo when we get home later."
"Sigh, you really..."
"It's different from before now. You should meet women too. Are you going to become a lonely old man later?"
"If you keep that up, really... sigh, forget it. It would be better to see directly. We're here, so get out."
Looking ahead, I could see a large gate.
The house looks quite big, but there's nothing around it.
"You bought a house in such a remote place?"
"You know I hate noisy things. It's a house where a celebrity used to live."
"Still, there's not even a convenience store, let alone a supermarket around here."
"I have a car, so I can just buy things and bring them. You can see the ocean right in front, and it's quiet, so how nice is that?"
"Nice my foot. It looks completely boring."
"Stop talking nonsense and get your luggage out."
I was getting my luggage when the door opened.
"What, who did you call..."
I was going to say, but I couldn't continue speaking.
Three incredibly beautiful women came out, so beautiful that my eyes widened.
Especially one of them had silver hair and looked like a foreigner... what?
"Hello, Young Master?"
"Young Master? big brother, don't tell me..."
"Say hello. They're your sister-in-laws."
Not sister-in-law, but sister-in-laws?
***
"So you're saying big brother's novel wasn't a novel but reality? This is unbelievable..."
Even though I explained it clearly and understandably and even showed him magic, he couldn't help but be surprised...
"Didn't you say you didn't read my novel because you hate reading?"
"I didn't read the novel, but I read the webtoon. But I really never imagined that big brother was Kang Shin-hyeok..."
"Stop being surprised and go unpack your luggage in that annex over there. We'll have lunch in the yard."
"I'll guide you to the annex."
"Ah, yes."
Se-jin took Si-woo and left.
Honestly, I didn't expect this reaction, but I wanted to show and introduce everyone to Si-woo.
Although I met and forgave my parents and older sister, among my blood relatives, Si-woo is the only one I can call family.
"Is Master not home?"
"The old man went fishing. More than that, Min-chan, don't you have something to tell us?"
"Something to tell? I told you about my younger brother coming a week ago."
"Not that. You two were having an interesting conversation when you came."
"That's right. The Young Master was having a very cute conversation."
Even Luciel and Eunseo joined in and glared at me. Don't tell me they heard that conversation?
"No, how did you..."
"Sister Luciel and I were in the car behind you."
"Eunseo said she was curious about the Young Master, so we secretly followed, but how could you have such a conversation?"
Her eyes alone look like they could kill a person.
"So you were going to meet her?"
"I'm disappointed."
They really... they have the momentum to kill me, and if I'm not careful, I won't even be able to retrieve my bones.
Wait. No, I didn't ask for an introduction, and even when Si-woo kept insisting, I refused.
Si-woo probably did it with good intentions, not knowing this situation.
"That's not it. If you were watching from behind, you would know. I kept refusing. I only have you guys."
Especially Eunseo and Se-jin gave up everything and came to me, so meeting someone else is absolutely impossible.
"Well, the Young Master probably did that because he didn't know about us."
"I'm only forgiving you once, there won't be a second time."
Luciel glared at me with wide eyes, but I'm really relieved that it seems to be settled here.
"But can't you lift this magic? We've told him everything anyway."
"Right. Se-jin said it's frustrating too. You know I don't have much leeway now either."
Luciel coming to this world was never an easy task.
I had researched magic in advance, but finding me among countless dimensions was like finding a needle in a desert.
Of course, everyone had prepared for such things, and just as we were all gathered and about to depart, the Primordial Heavenly Honored One appeared.
At first, I thought it was because Master was leaving the portal, but that wasn't it.
Primordial Heavenly Honored One was also unaffected by the regression and helped them come to where I was at once without wandering.
However, he did set the condition that they wouldn't disturb the balance of this world.
So currently, not only Luciel but also Master has most of his abilities restricted.
Anyway, there are no portals or monsters in this place.
Moreover, even though they're restricted, it doesn't mean they can't use them at all, and I have enough money to feed four people, even if not as much as Kang Shin-hyeok.
"But three days should be okay, right?"
Actually, right now Eunseo and Se-jin are slightly changed to look older with Luciel's magic.
As Eunseo said, now that we've revealed all our secrets, I don't think there's a need to do this, but absolutely not.
Since we came here right from the point of regression, Se-jin is now nineteen and Eunseo is seventeen.
Of course, both of them received all their past memories through Luciel, but that doesn't mean their appearance changes.
In the first place, the novel also ended with the scene where I left, so Si-woo doesn't know their current ages.
"No. Si-woo is also twenty-six. If you change back to your original appearances, he'll think it's strange."
"Isn't it stranger to be with three women at the same time?"
"Now if it becomes known that two of them are seventeen and nineteen, I'll be in handcuffs immediately."
"Well, the police would arrest you."
"Who dares to arrest whom? Then I'll immediately blow up the police station... mmmph!"
Since Luciel was talking nonsense again, I blocked her mouth with a peeled sweet potato that was nearby.
"Min-chan, do you want to die?"
After spitting out the sweet potato, she chased me with a terrifying momentum to avoid her.
"Both of you are really kids."
After running around for a while, I could see Si-woo and Se-jin coming out of the annex.
I was about to tell them to stop your sister-in-law, but somehow Si-woo's expression was quite dark.
"Why is your expression like that?"
"Young Master?"
"Huh? Ah... it's nothing."
Looking at Se-jin, he smiles awkwardly.
"I can tell Se-jin said something to you."
Luciel, who was chasing me, said, but wait. Don't tell me...
"I'll help with the preparations too."
Si-woo hurriedly went toward where they were preparing the barbecue.
"Se-jin, you were also in the car?"
"No, I got out when you were parking earlier and talked to him."
Haha... Se-jin knew too.
"You caught him like catching a mouse. But still, he's Min-chan's younger brother."
"Sister, it's not like that."
"It's not? The kid looked completely upset."
I didn't think it was that bad.
"Really, now that he knows we exist, I just politely told him not to do things like introducing women."
"Really? It wasn't that you told him not to mention women in front of Min-chan if he doesn't want to die?"
Honestly, considering Se-jin's personality, this time Luciel seems to be right...
"Honey, are you believing sister Luciel words right now? I'm telling you it's really not like that."
"Yeah... yeah. Our Se-jin wouldn't do that."
I have suspicions, but I can't be certain.
In the first place, sometimes pretending not to know even when you know is the way to maintain family peace.
"Let's all go eat."
***
Today is the day Si-woo goes back.
On the first day, he got slightly on their bad side due to the introduction issue, but since he's naturally sociable and easygoing, he quickly became close with everyone.
Master especially liked Si-woo a lot.
They both liked ramen and fishing, so they got along really well.
Even when we all had breakfast together and said goodbye, he seemed the most regretful.
Since it was morning, there was almost no traffic, so we drove on the refreshingly straight road and arrived at the airport.
"What time is your flight?"
"There's plenty of time, so don't worry. But big brother."
"What?"
"Are you happy?"
"What silly talk. Is that even a question? Of course I'm happy. I wonder if there's anyone in this world happier than big brother."
"Well, you did look like it. The sister-in-laws are all so nice, and Master is really great too. Ah! Se-jin sister-in-law seems a little scary though."
"Se-jin even gave you pocket money at the end. This won't do. Should I tell on you?"
"Ah, big brother... spare me."
"I'm only forgiving you once, there won't be a second time."
When I used Luciel's signature line, the guy chuckles.
He didn't show it directly, but Si-woo seemed to have worried about me a lot.
Even I think I was in a quite precarious state before meeting everyone.
"Just go quickly. You can handle the check-in by yourself, right?"
"Won't you even watch your younger brother leave?"
"I have a date with your sister-in-laws later. And it's not like we're parting forever. Next time, come with Hye-seon."
"Okay."
I waved once to Si-woo as he entered the airport and got back in the car.
I was about to start the engine to leave, but huh?
Before I knew it, Se-jin was in the passenger seat and Eunseo and Luciel were sitting in the back seat.
"Did you follow me again in the back?"
"There's nothing to do anyway, and we can go on a date right away. More than that, I'm also the happiest in the world because I can be with our Min-chan."
Luciel repeated what I had said earlier and then gave me a surprise kiss on the cheek.
We often have physical contact normally, but today I'm somehow a bit embarrassed.
Following Luciel, Eunseo also kissed my cheek.
"Me too. I'm so happy I can be with brother."
Is Se-jin next?
"I'm also really happy I can be with our honey, but I'm a bit unhappy right now."
"Unhappy? Why?"
"Why would I be? Because of the Young Master. I did scold him a little on the first day... but still, I was nice to him after that and even gave him pocket money today, yet he says I'm scary."
...Si-woo is definitely marked.
Next time he comes, I should tell him to wait a while before coming.
"But where are we going for our date?"
"It's not going to be mountain climbing like last time, right?"
"Why? I liked hiking."
I had thought of a place, but it seems like it won't work.
I told the kids they'd know when we got there, started the engine, and departed.
"What?"
"Brother?"
"Honey? This is home. Did you forget something?"
"No."
From the start, home was the destination.
"Then why are we at home..."
"Today's date location is right in the bedroom... ow!"
Luciel from the back seat, Se-jin next to me, and Eunseo from the diagonal back seat all pinched my sides.
I think I'll definitely get bruises, but I can't help but smile.
"It's not even lunchtime yet."
"You're really such a troublemaker."
"Brother, pervert."
Even though everyone said something, they don't seem to dislike it at all.
I'm really happy.
More than anyone else in this world.
