With her father's sudden appearance, Chae Nayun looked up at me listlessly.

"...Ah, hey, that's my dad."

"Alright, see you later."

"N-No, you don't have to leave. I, I'm not embarrassed to have you here...."

"I know."

Before we could have a proper talk, the door opened, and a light breeze blew in.

Our heads turned to the door.

Tap, tap.

A man in a full suit walked into the hospital room.

I got up from my chair and greeted Chae Nayun's father, Chae Shinhyuk. Although I'd seen him several times in the news, this was the first time I was seeing him in person.

"...Hm?"

He looked similar to Chae Nayun but had a sharper impression.

As he was far taller than me, the way he was looking down at me came off as cold.

Chae Shinhyuk was a man whose appearance and aura couldn't be called ordinary. In truth, however, Chae Shinhyuk wasn't particularly outstanding as a Hero or a businessman. In fact, as someone of average talent, he spent most of his youth in the shadow of his father.

Despite this, he was able to become the Chae clan's successor thanks to his righteous character and endless self-cultivation.

"Who's this?"

Chae Shinhyuk asked.

"Ah, I'm Chae Nayun's friend. My name is Kim Hajin."

"Kim Hajin...."

Chae Shinhyuk rubbed his beard and pondered.

"H-He's just a friend. There's nothing between us."

While Chae Nayun was scratching her cheek in embarrassment, Chae Shinhyuk spoke up.

"I've heard of your name. You're quite well-known in Cube. Your weapon is a gun, I believe?"

"Ah, yes."

"I see."

Chae Shinhyuk tapped my shoulder.

I forced myself to smile and headed towards the door.

"I'll let the two of you talk now..."

I wasn't used to talking to such a bigshot. I spoke as politely as possible, and Chae Shinhyuk returned a big smile.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

"B-Bye. I'll message you later."

I left the room without replying to Chae Nayun.

As soon as I closed the door behind me, my smartwatch rang.

"Hello?"

—Yes, customer. The items you ordered are ready to be delivered. I've called to ask for your address.

Two weeks ago, I ordered items from Essential Armory using the black card Yoo Yeonha gave me.

"Both of them?"

—No, the drones are still being prepared. They will be delivered next week.

I ordered two drones and 3000 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets. Just the bullets came out to about 500 million won in total. They were both items I urgently needed for next week.

"Yes, the delivery address is...."

After giving my address, I accessed my laptop with my smartwatch.

There was a setting I needed to create.
