Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 333

Hyung, aren’t I cute? Episode 333 (333/500)

In reality, pirates are the bad guys.

Even in Peter Pan, Captain Hook is the villain.

But cartoons and movies sometimes show that pirates aren’t always evil.

Maybe that’s why playing pirates feels a bit different than I expected.

Seung-jun said.

“Siha is the captain.”

“Captain?”

“It means the leader on the ship.”

“Siha ara [Siha knows]. Hook Captain.”

“But he has a hook on his hand. That kind of ability isn’t great. I have the ability to shoot lightning!”

“Lightning?!”

It seems they’re playing pirates with superpowers.

Siha seemed to realize this too and started to think. I wonder what power he’ll choose.

“Siha is ice. Ice.”

“Oh!”

“I’ll freeze the sea so Pepe can zoom around.”

Where did Pepe suddenly come from?

But choosing that power is just like Siha.

Is hyung and Pepe all you know?

“That’s a really good power. Ice power is super strong!”

“Hana will hold two swords. A swordsman. Swordsman.”

“Wow! You always hold two swords.”

“Hana is the strongest.”

The kids looked at me.

Me? Do I have to say my power too?

No, can’t I just be a normal person? Okay. I’ll play the role of a normal person who shoots guns.

As soon as I said that, I was met with opposition.

Siha says that hyung can’t do that because hyung is Red Hyung. What kind of logic is that?!

Seung-jun insists that since Hana is a normal person, I have to be a person with powers.

It seems like there are positions like in soccer.

Hana says I have to pick something cool.

No. Guns are cool. Huh? Whirling around doing gun kata [a stylized martial art involving firearms] and shooting guns flamboyantly. Huh? Isn’t that cool?

“Umm. Then.”

Ugh. Embarrassing. Seung-jun’s mom is looking this way!

I have to say something like, ‘Heh heh heh, my power is…’ like a *chuunibyou* [a Japanese term for someone who acts like they have special powers or knowledge] at this age?!

Who knew I’d be playing this kind of game at this age.

“I, I can create a shield.”

“A shield?”

“Yeah. I’ll protect you guys with it.”

Considering it, isn’t this pretty good without being too childish?

And the kids seemed satisfied that I would protect them, so I got their permission.

“Then we have to get on the ship now. Siha, sit here quickly.”

“Siha go.”

We sat side by side on the sofa.

Is this where the ship is? There’s a TV in front, so is it a state-of-the-art ship?

“We’re departing.”

“Hana will drive.”

“Departure!”

The kids are excited.

Do I have to brainwash myself here? Yeah. This is a ship. A ship.

But ships have chairs like this, right?

“Soaring upwards!!”

Why though?!

“Soaring backwards!!”

A huge wave is in the sea, so it’s soaring back and forth.

If I think about it, isn’t this a Viking ride, not a ship?

“To the sky! To the sea! To the sky! To the sea!”

At this point, isn’t it an airplane, not a ship?

It feels like we’re constantly flying?!

“Hyung. An enemy appeared.”

“Where?”

“It’s a pirate.”

“Aren’t we pirates too?”

“We’re good pirates, and they’re bad pirates.”

“Ah, I see.”

“So we have to punish them.”

That pirate hasn’t done anything yet, but we have to punish them?

The plot skip is amazing.

They didn’t mention it, but there must be a reason why we have to punish them?

“Hyung. A bomb is flying over!”

“Don’t worry. I, I’ll make a shield!”

I stretched out my arms and pretended to make a shield.

What is this? This is so embarrassing! I hope it ends quickly!

“Siha will send ice! It’s an ice shield. Together with hyung!”

In the midst of all this, he’s trying to get some credit with hyung?!

When I thought about it, an ice shield seemed like it would break easily, but it seems like the combination of powers made it stronger.

“Siha. Amazing! It’s gotten stronger.”

“Siha thought of everything.”

“We blocked the bomb! Now I’ll shoot electricity!”

Seung-jun pressed the power button on the remote control.

Click. The TV turns off.

“Pajijijik [onomatopoeia for crackling electricity]! The enemy’s ship was hit by electricity!”

What an amazing production!

I never knew you could create such a production by turning off the TV.

Looking to the side, Seung-jun’s mom is reacting as if she’s used to it.

He’s already done this electric power once. No wonder he seemed like a veteran!

“Hana will attack! Ehit!”

Hana was already swinging the sword she brought with her in the air.

Seung-jun is commentating from the side.

“Keueu [onomatopoeia for a groan]! The ship is split!”

How great is Hana’s ability?

She’s a normal person?! A swordsman?! But looking at her skills, she’s like a person with powers?!

In terms of martial arts, she’s flying sword energy.

No. Since the ship is split, she’s flying sword strength?

I wonder if there are any enemies left alive at this point.

“No! One person is alive!”

Seung-jun pointed to the sky with a surprised expression.

Looking at the empty air, I wonder what this is all about.

That’s not the ceiling, it’s the sky. The enemy is there.

“He’s breathing fire and coming here. Heok [gasp]! He’s a fire-using power user!”

“No way! Fire!”

“Hana will use her sword!”

Hana swung her sword diligently, but it seemed like the enemy dodged it.

They say the enemy is squatting on the ice shield that Siha and I made.

Siha says.

“No way. The ice shield will disappear with fire!”

Am I the only one who can’t see it?

Everyone is naturally continuing the story?!

“Kwang [onomatopoeia for an explosion]! Ugh! He got on the ship. Say this. Did you guys attack us!”

Doing this, it’s kind of exciting?

Suddenly the enemy seems really cool. I guess he’s not just going to get hit.

But I don’t know what he was doing when he was attacked, and he only comes after the ship is destroyed.

I also wonder if there was no way to defend against the fire ability.

“I’ll burn this ship down!”

Seung-jun, when did you become the villain?

“No way. Siha will stop it!”

“Hana will protect the ship too.”

You guys are okay with Seung-jun becoming the villain? Are we just going to proceed with this?

Seung-jun slammed his fist on the ground.

“Go. Fire! Hwareureuk [onomatopoeia for fire burning]. The ship is burning.”

“No way! Siha will stop it! Ice!”

Siha also put both hands on the ground.

I guess it’s freezing.

But Seung-jun smiles slyly.

“You can’t stop my fire with ice. Hahaha!”

Siha looks at me. No, not just Siha, but Hana and Seung-jun too.

Why me? What me? Do I have to do that?

Judging by the look, it seems like I have to stop it instead of Siha.

Umm. Didn’t the ice shield break earlier?

But I have to do this, right?

“It won’t break with just a shield! Hyung will protect the ship. You guys fight.”

I can feel Seung-jun’s mom’s gaze.

Please don’t look at me. Sob sob [onomatopoeia for sobbing].

“Hyung. Siha will fight.”

“Hana too!”

“I’ll fight too.”

Seung-jun, have you returned to our team, Electric Seung-jun?

“I’m going to make an electric shield with Si-hyuk hyung. So the two of you have to fight.”

It seems like they’re protecting the ship with an electric shield because the ice shield didn’t work.

And Seung-jun returns to being the villain again.

He’s a genius? This way, he doesn’t even have to play a role?

That’s right, I’m glad I chose the shield ability.

It’s not that hard. Instead, it seems like my mind is a bit tired. I’m so embarrassed.

“Keuheuk [onomatopoeia for a strained cough]. You guys. To protect the ship like this. I have to defeat that shield user over there.”

“No way. Siha will protect hyung.”

“Hana will protect Si-hyeok oppa [older brother/male friend].”

A 2-on-1 disadvantageous fight began.

The balance is surprisingly good. An ice power user who is weak against fire, but Hana covers that lacking part.

No. How was this balance achieved? Amazing.

“Go! Fire Fist!”

“Go Pepe!”

“Hana will ride Pepe!”

Pepe comes out here?!

Moreover, it seems like Hana is riding on the back of Pepe, who is running on the ice.

Crosses arms with dual swords.

And spreads wide and draws. Fist and sword collide.

Whether she’s done it with *oppa* [older brother/male friend] a lot, the fist and sword repeat pushing each other.

“Ugh! Aaaagh!”

“Ugh. Aaaagh!”

Siha is stretching out both hands and using his power, so he’s saying aaaagh along.

“Hyung also has to say aaaagh.”

“Uh. Aaaagh!”

Embarrassing! Why do I have to make sounds with my mouth?! That’s enough in cartoons.

Everyone makes aaaagh sounds and gives strength.

There’s something like that in cartoons.

A scene where they shout at each other, and when they give more strength at the last moment, they shout even louder.

Hana and Siha are doing that.

“Iyaaaaaaaa!”

“Ugh!”

Seung-jun collapses as is.

Hana and Siha are happy that they won.

But it seems like it’s not over yet. Seeing Seung-jun get up at the end.

“Die! Flame!”

“!!!”

“!!!”

I made a shield for the two children.

“Dangerous! Kwang [onomatopoeia for an explosion]! Ugh!”

“Hyung!”

“Si-hyeok oppa [older brother/male friend].”

Seung-jun squeezed out his last strength and collapsed as is.

Is it really over?

“There are still my subordinates left. Be prepared. Kkekodak [onomatopoeia for a caw].”

Siha shook me, who had fallen, without paying attention to that.

“Hyung. Hyung.”

Oh, yeah. If it’s like this, I’ll have to face the remaining subordinates. I should retire around this point too.

I have to leave a famous line.

“Siha.”

“Hyung.”

“Don’t let the enemy know of my death. Kkekodak [onomatopoeia for a caw].”

I pretended to be dead.

Siha shouts with wide eyes.

“Hyung died! No way!”

No! Don’t let the enemy know! If you say it so loudly, everyone will know?!

Unfortunately, the pirate play ended like this without mopping up the remnants.

No. We have to finish it. Finish it!

“That was fun!”

“Siha also fun!”

“Hana too!”

And the next line that comes out.

“What should we play now?”

Please have mercy. Really.

***

Playing with the twins like this, it was already evening.

Seung-jun’s mom told me to have dinner and go.

“You don’t have to.”

“No. I want to feed you a delicious meal because you played so well with the kids today.”

“Hahaha.”

“Anyway, the kids don’t let their mom join in the games when Si-hyuk comes. I can act well too.”

“Haha…….”

It seems like the gaze looking at me was admiration.

But that gaze made me too embarrassed.

No, I would have been embarrassed even if Seung-jun’s mom wasn’t there.

“Si-hyuk, do you like braised spicy chicken?”

“Yes. I like it.”

“That’s good. I made braised spicy chicken. I’m going to set the table so that it breaks today, so please wait.”

“Can I help you?”

“No. No. Just put the spoons on later with the kids.”

“Yes.”

While I was waiting while she was cooking, Professor Oh Sang-hwan also came, and a large table was also taken out.

I also put out spoons and side dishes, and we had dinner together.

Professor Oh Sang-hwan asked.

“Is work going well?”

“Ah, yes. I also obtained exclusive sales rights, and I’ve also applied for support for fasteners to go into Mugungho [Korea’s national flower and a type of satellite].”

“That’s a relief. Of course, that has to lead to a contract, but it will, right?”

“I’m sure it will. BUMAX has a history of supplying special parts to satellites in the first place. Their technology is not inferior anywhere.”

“I wish it was a company that could supply all the parts that would go in there, but it wouldn’t be like that.”

“I heard that’s difficult. They suspect corruption.”

It is difficult to receive all parts from one company.

Maybe three or four.

So, they are holding on tight to just one fastener.

No matter what you make, bolts and nuts are essential.

Even exclusive sales rights.

I don’t know how much this will return in profit.

Still, it is clear that it will ease the burden on new businesses.

“Good. That’s a relief. I was quite worried about Han-soo. Suddenly quitting.”

“Hahaha.”

Seung-jun’s mom said, bringing braised spicy chicken.

“We’re going to eat now, what are you talking about? Talk about something else. Something else.”

“Hahaha. Oh! Looks delicious?”

Siha’s eyes lit up as if it looked delicious too.

There were many things to eat, including egg rolls, seaweed soup, and various side dishes.

“Thank you for the meal.”

I grabbed a chicken leg, took out the meat, and put it in Siha’s mouth.

He chews well as if it is delicious.

“*Mashisseo* [delicious]!”

I feel good because he eats so well.

“Um. Should we watch TV?”

Professor Oh Sang-hwan, who doesn’t have anything to say.

I guess you’re not very curious about me.

Well, I didn’t know what topic to talk about other than work.

“Ah! If you are interested in body painting, they are doing it at the children’s art museum, so please apply for Seung-jun and Hana too.”

In the end, I guess the story can’t go back to the children’s story.
