My daughter is the Last Boss

eps. 2

His reaction was more dramatic than expected. He did not intend to surprise her this much.

Yoo Eun-hye asked as if she had misheard.

“A, what?”

"Huh? Let's get married."

“Wait a minute….. Are you drunk?”

"No. I'm really aware.”

Eun-hye feels uneasy because she is so friendly.

Seol-ah has been ignored by her, who has become the only person she can rely on. He thinks he should take responsibility.

But on the other hand, Eun-hye is too precious for someone like her.

To be honest, he did not even have the heart to say this, but he thought he would regret it if he did not say it now.

"Why didn't you talk to me in the first place?"

“When we break up... I promise I won't call you.”.

"But you're back?"

“......Now, Seol-ah takes precedence over my pride.”

Eun-hye is 26 years old, just like her.

However, he was unwise compared to him at that time.

After much deliberation, she may decide to give birth to Seol-ah and raise her alone.

After hesitating, Eun-hye spits.

“I came to you because things are not going well. I have no feelings for you anymore.”

“Yes, I was still immature back then. It would be strange if you still have feelings about me.

"But, to be honest, it's a shame to get married all of a sudden."

"……It's so thick. Yeah." yeah."

He could not bear the words that came out from the bottom of his heart. She proposes to him suddenly, but from Eun Hye's point of view, she is embarrassed.

Of course, they break up early on, so Eun-hye won't feel much for him.

Another case with him who then felt the emptiness of Yoo Eun-hye and regretted it for years.

"Sorry."

"No. It's okay."

“Fixed, Seol-ah, he's our son.”

"Yes." Yeah."

"I think a child needs a father."

He begins to persuade Eun-hye with his theory. He nodded his head as if he agreed.

Seol-ah is now five years old.

It was a time when a child needed the attention and love of their parents.

Moreover, knowing the terrible future.

“It's true, though.”

“He's your son, but also my son. I think it's right to be responsible. ”

“Seo-jun. First of all, thank you for letting me stay. We can talk about it later.”

"Big. Let's do that.”

He immediately agreed.

If she defies such words, she won't be able to contact Eun-hye. A happy family has a good influence on a child.

In order for Seol-ah to grow well, the relationship between her and Eun-hye must be improved first.

At least he should stay away from the image of an immature ex-girlfriend.

Time is just approaching noon. They have to take care of lunch.

"Eun-hye, have you eaten yet?"

"Huh? No?"

"Then do you want to go eat something delicious?"

“Something delicious?”

Seol-ah, who is concentrating on her smartphone, responds calmly.

She meets Seol-ah's sparkling eyes. How could such a beautiful girl be his daughter? It must be inherited from Eun-hye's genes.

“Seol-aht. Can we go?"

"Yes!"

\* \* \*

“What does Seol-ah like?”

"Everything's fine!"

"Thul? There must be something you like the most.”

"Es cream!"

She wondered what to eat, so she asked, and ice cream was the answer.

No matter how hard it is to say no, they cannot eat ice cream for lunch. He promised to buy it for her later and headed to a nearby restaurant.

'I don't even know what Seol-ah likes ......'

He blames himself inwardly, and sees Seol-ah hesitating from below.

He was considering whether to hold his hand with his tiny hand or not, but he compromised and grabbed the tip of his pants.

"Cough."

"Are you bored?"

"No."

A really straight answer. There are no words to describe how sweet she is.

He held the legs of his pants almost invisible, and looked at her.

However, it seems that he has a very friendly personality and wants to know him better.

The boy has no boundaries.

“Seol-ah, it's dangerous. Should we hold hands?”

"……Yeah!"

Seol-ah grabbed her hand without hesitation.

One hand holds Eun-hye's hand and the other holds her hand, while she has a very excited expression.

His gaze alternates between him and Eun-hye, he smiles, thinking this feels good.

Is he really trying to destroy the world? Honestly, he couldn't believe it.

Even if everything before returning was a dream, it seemed too real.

"That's right here."

Stop in front of the food court. Eun-hye blinked and looked at him.

“You don't like street food.”

"You're right, I don't like it."

"Then why did you bring us here?"

“Because you like it.”

Eun-hye likes tteokbokki a lot.

On the other hand, she hates snacking, so there are times when they have a small fight while dating because of that.

Though, it was something he remembered with regret after he died. She questions herself why she doesn't eat tteokbokki with him.

Eun-hye looks at him with suspicious eyes.

"Are you really Lee Seo-Jun?"

"That's fine. Can Seol-ah eat tteokbokki?”

“I can eat it!”

"Ah, really?"

“But mom always washed it with water.....”.

They went into the store. It was not a high-end tteokbokki restaurant at a high price.

It was a tteokbokki restaurant located in front of the old school.

But as far as he knows, years later, this tteokbokki restaurant will become a famous gourmet restaurant and hit the jackpot.

The owner of the restaurant was kicked because the rent was raised.

“Wah, looks good!”

"Oh. It's really.”

“I drool. Ha."

Seol-ah seems to like tteokbokki just as much as her mother. Eun-hye, of course, also salivates.

Honestly, he doesn't like it. As Eun-hye said, it's not her favorite food.

But that's not the point.

Because he was only satisfied to see the two of them sitting in front of him.

"Where do I put the dishes?"

After preparing the dishes and cutlery, they began to eat.

First, Eun-hye and she dip a tteokbokki with a fork and put it in their mouths simultaneously.

And he realized it too late.

"Sedas!"

This is a restaurant that is famous for its spicy taste.

He could not help but open his mouth at the spiciness of Korea, which made his tongue tickle.

On the other hand, Eun-hye's mouth is smiling gently.

“This place is so good!”

“Y, yes.”

That was really delicious. But it's spicy.

“Bu, give also to Seol-ah.”

“Let's make it easy for Seol-ah.”

“Hn. No, I don't want that. Just give it to me.”

"It'll be too spicy for you."

"It's okay!"

At Seol-ah's bold insistence, Eun-hye gently wipes the sauce from the tteokbokki on the edge of the plate.

It will still be more spicy than washing it with water, but it can still be eaten because the sauce is reduced a lot.

Seol-ah, who takes the tteokbokki on the plate in front of her with a fork, opens her tiny mouth as wide as possible.

He cut a third of the tteokbokki and ate it, chewing like a hamster. Seol-ah, who was chewing tteokbokki wildly, opened her mouth.

"Jeez."

“Seol-ah inherited my spicy gene.”

“Who is the worst in spicy food? Ah, it's too spicy. ”

\* \* \*

In the end, the rest of the tteokbokki is washed with water for Seol-ah to eat.

Meanwhile, she talks to Eun-hye. He calmly explained his plan.

"I'll join the guild."

"A union?"

"Yes. I became an adapter.”

[P/N: They say that humans who adapt to mana become adapters and they will naturally become hunters later.]

25 Years ago.

Therefore, 10 years ago from now.

Natural disasters of unprecedented scale have occurred. There are simultaneous cracks all over the world.

All sorts of monsters that came out of it caused many casualties.

Moreover, because the firearms and weapons that exist do not work properly.

'At that time, I really thought the human race would end soon.'

But mankind did not perish.

It was thanks to the people who adapted to mana leaking from the gap, and gained special powers.

They easily slashed at the monsters that could not be stopped even if the army was mobilized.

They call themselves 'hunters'.

'Eun-hye is a hunter like me.'

Although they are both hunters, Eun-hye's talent is not comparable to hers. He was a student who failed the licensing exam one after another.

On the other hand, Eun-hye becomes a hunter as a super rookie who soon joins in on the front line. It is no exaggeration to say that talent levels are very different.

At the same time, an interview with a hunter was being aired on TV.

-Hello. This Seong Soo Hyun.

Along with the interview of a handsome man, the image of slashing monsters was also broadcast.

Seong Soo-hyun is a hunter who gained a lot of popularity due to his handsome face and his outstanding skills.

His recognition will now be higher than any singer or actor in this era.

As a front-line hunter, he comes from the same guild as Eun-hye before Seo-jun returns.

“Hunters. They make a lot of money.”

His salary is astronomical.

It was because they risked their lives to fight monsters. Killing monsters earns you more money than you think.

The core, the heart of the monster, is referred to as an alternative energy innovation and is traded at a high price.

In the case of powerful monsters, the byproducts and materials from them were also sold at an unreasonable price.

Material from monsters was also processed into hunter equipment.

"But it's dangerous."

“So I'll ask Seol-ah.”

[T/N: Maybe that means he asked her to look after Seol-ah?]

“Eh?”

This is an unprecedented development. Has anything changed in that short time?

It's not known.

"I got a contract from the guild."

"wait. Have you signed it?”

“Not yet, but I'm thinking of doing it.”

"Do you read it carefully?"

"Yes. They said it would help me get a license and take care of deposit more than average.”

He knew the guild that had a contract with him. And he was well aware of the techniques the guild often used.

Part of the down payment is paying first, then you will be tied to them.

This may not be a large sum for people who are already hunters, but it is for those who still lack financial strength like Eun-hye.

After that, they used their Hunters almost like consumables and paid off their debts.

'By selling equipment, and setting up the router at an unreasonable price to collect a commission.'

There are still many loopholes in legislation related to hunters.

Aiming for that, there are many cases of trapping a rising hunter who is in debt.

It happened to her, and it happened to Eun-hye too. But he proved himself by showing his skills quickly, unlike him, and he quickly got out of debt.

He died in an accident right after that.

'Eun-hye's death could be one of Seol-ah's misfortunes.'

The five misfortunes that Seol-ah experienced.

Perhaps that includes the death of Eun-hye, the only mother she can count on. Even if it wasn't for that, he couldn't just wait and see such a future repeat itself.

He was a hunter with considerable talent.

However, due to the suppression of the guild, he died without being able to spread his wings properly.

“Eun-hye, i.”.

Who her?

He's a hunter who failed the licensing exam seven times. The licensing exam has ended.

Not only that, he also knew what would happen in the future.

If he used this well, he would definitely be able to provide a better environment than the guild.

"I'll raise her."
