Descent of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 410

“Kang Jin-ho!”

Kang Jin-ho turned his head at the voice calling him.

Then, with a startled expression, he took a step back.

“Wh-who are you?”

A woman wearing a large brimmed hat, excessively large sunglasses, a mask, and even a scarf, was waving her hand at him as she walked over.

“It’s me.”

“Choi Yeon-ha?”

“Shhh.”

Choi Yeon-ha made a gesture of covering her mouth with her finger.

“Quiet. People will hear.”

“…Do you have a skin disease or something?”

“No… It’s not that.” Choi Yeon-ha sighed deeply.

“…What are you doing?”

“Hehehehe.”

“Don’t you know you shouldn’t do things like this without thinking?”

“Hehehehehe.”

“Are you laughing?”

“Hehehehehe.”

Choi Yeon-ha glared at Han Jin-sung, who was smirking.

‘That old man.’

She understood that he had become mature early because he had suffered since childhood, but even considering that, this guy was excessively sly. It was at a level that couldn’t be understood unless it was his nature.

“Do you want to get hit?”

“…No.”

Still, his attacks weren’t as ineffective as they were against Kang Jin-ho.

“Why are you causing trouble! Why!”

“My sister told me to create a date opportunity.”

“Then you should have consulted me!”

“Aww.”

Han Jin-sung shrugged his shoulders and said.

“You know how that brother is, sis.”

“If we try to match everything one by one, nothing will happen. We have to make a move first, and then we have to adapt to it.”

Choi Yeon-ha’s cheeks twitched.

“So, this is the answer you came up with?”

“That’s right.”

Choi Yeon-ha spoke with a face like a demon from hell.

“Who do you think I am?”

“You’re Choi Yeon-ha, my sister.”

“You told me to keep up appearances at the orphanage last time, right?”

“So, this is the answer you came up with? To tell me to go on a date with that person in front of all these people?”

“Ah…”

Han Jin-sung opened his mouth blankly, as if he hadn’t thought of that.

“Wow, what a blind spot.”

“You’re hopeless, really.”

Choi Yeon-ha covered her face with both hands.

The people around Kang Jin-ho all looked normal, but they were all missing a screw or two. And not just a small screw, but a big screw was missing from the most important place, making a clunking sound.

“Then what should we do?”

“…Never mind. What can I expect from you?”

“But I did it with good intentions, your words are a bit harsh…”

“Do you really want to get hit?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Aww!”

Choi Yeon-ha got angry and started rummaging through her bag.

Han Jin-sung’s expression subtly hardened at the sight.

“It might be a bit long to explain, so please just let it go. There are so many people here, so if I walk around with my face exposed, it could cause a commotion.”

Kang Jin-ho nodded as if he understood.

In the past, he might have wondered if it was necessary to go so overboard, but he had already experienced how much the existence of extreme fans could embarrass a person.

Moreover, the attention he received was only a fraction of Choi Yeon-ha’s fame. If Choi Yeon-ha were to remove her disguise here, the amusement park would be paralyzed instantly.

So, it wasn’t something he couldn’t understand, but…

“Aren’t you hot?”

In this sweltering weather, she had covered her entire face with a mask, sunglasses, and even a scarf, and she was wearing a hat on her head, so there was no way for the heat to escape.

“I-I’m okay.”

“You don’t look okay?”

“I’m really okay.”

“…Okay. Well, if you say so.”

Kang Jin-ho looked at her with slightly worried eyes, but Choi Yeon-ha had a determined face. Of course, that expression couldn’t be seen.

“But what brings you here?” At Kang Jin-ho’s words, Choi Yeon-ha’s face contorted.

‘They said they had everything solved!’

It was as if they had just created a place and then abandoned her.

Oh well, who could she blame? That’s just how Han Jin-sung does things. What would that little kid know?

“I heard the kids were coming to the amusement park today, so I thought it would be nice to play with them.”

“Ah!”

Kang Jin-ho nodded.

It was definitely good to have even one more adult. And for some reason, the girls especially liked Choi Yeon-ha, so she would be a great help.

“Please take care of us.”

“Hehe, don’t worry now. I’ll help you.”

Han Jin-sung watched Choi Yeon-ha confidently from afar and smiled contentedly.

“See, I told you to trust me.”

But things started to go a little differently than expected.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

It was like a scream coming from hell.

Even Kang Jin-ho, who had heard countless screams due to the nature of his life, flinched at the desperate scream.

“C-calm down…”

“Waaaaaaaah! Mommy! Mommy! Save meeeee! Mommmmyyyyy!”

‘I’m done for.’

Kang Jin-ho shook his head.

It was already beyond the level that could be resolved with words. Choi Yeon-ha was flailing wildly as if she had lost her mind, but she was trapped by the safety bar that was pressing down on her shoulders, unable to do anything.

Kang Jin-ho noticed that Choi Yeon-ha’s mask was somehow getting wet, and he couldn’t bear to watch the scene any longer and turned his head away.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

‘I told you you didn’t have to ride it.’

A roller coaster was just a yawn-inducing ride from Kang Jin-ho’s perspective, but for the children, it was a ride that made their hair stand on end. And for Choi Yeon-ha, it probably felt like an express train to hell.

Choi Yeon-ha shook her head wildly, making him worry that she might have a heart attack.

“Kyaaaaaaak! I’m sorry! I’m sorryyyyyyyyy!”

Listening to Choi Yeon-ha’s voice, who was now desperately apologizing to someone, Kang Jin-ho sighed quietly.

‘What are you telling me to trust, what.’

Rather, the children were looking at Choi Yeon-ha with concern. Choi Yeon-ha was turning a fun time riding a thrilling ride, a moment that should have been like a variety show, into a documentary.

“Um, Choi Yeon-ha.”

“Yes? Yes, yes?”

“Close your eyes.”

“Yeeeeees?”

Choi Yeon-ha, who had widened her eyes and looked ahead at Kang Jin-ho’s words, grabbed the safety bar as if it would break when she saw the 360-degree rotation course.

“Who made this… Uwaaaaaa! You bas… Aaaak! Kill…”

Kang Jin-ho shook his head.

It was a good thing she was covering her face.

“Sister, are you okay?”

“…Huh?”

“S-sister, please drink some water and come to your senses.”

“…Huh?”

“O-oppa, sister has gone crazy.”

That sister wasn’t in her right mind to begin with. It wasn’t like she had just gone crazy now.

Kang Jin-ho suppressed his churning feelings and sighed.

“I’ll watch her… you guys go and play.”

“Is it okay?”

“Yeah. You came all the way to the amusement park, you shouldn’t go back without playing properly. The others are waiting, so go and ride some more.”

“No way!”

At that moment, Choi Yeon-ha, who had been out of it, jumped up from her seat.

Even the mighty Kang Jin-ho flinched at her fierce momentum.

“Wh-why?”

“…I’m going to ride it too.”

“No, wait a minute, Choi Yeon-ha.”

“I have to ride it.”

Choi Yeon-ha’s eyes were blazing.

“The kids came to play, I can’t be a burden. I have to play with them.”

Kang Jin-ho’s eyes were slightly moved.

Her heart for those children was truly touching, but…

“You’re drooling.”

Slurp.

“Thinking coldly, it seems like it would be easier for the kids to ride if Choi Yeon-ha stepped aside?”

“Kang Jin-ho… that’s why you can’t do it.”

“Huh?”

Choi Yeon-ha staggered forward.

“How kind are they? Do you think they can have fun by themselves, knowing that the sister who came with them is sick and bedridden?”

Choi Yeon-ha straightened her back.

“What’s wrong with me, I’m Choi Yeon-ha. This is nothing. When I was filming action movies, I even rode wires.”

That wire probably didn’t spin people 360 degrees.

“Once you take on a job, you have to do it even if you die! Follow me!”

Kang Jin-ho was impressed as he watched Choi Yeon-ha walk ahead.

Perhaps what brought her to where she is now was more her tenacity than her appearance. Her legs were shaking so badly that she couldn’t even walk properly, but her determination not to be a hindrance to the children was definitely something to be acknowledged.

Kang Jin-ho, who believed that most things could be solved with tenacity, highly valued that aspect.

However, there was one thing.

‘It would have been perfect if she just hadn’t come.’

It was like stirring up trouble, what was this…

Kang Jin-ho shook his head and followed Choi Yeon-ha.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Of course, roller coasters are scary.

But the problem was that if someone was so stimulated by a roller coaster, it wouldn’t be much different if they rode a less scary ride.

Besides…

“Why isn’t this overrrrrrrrr! You bas… Kyaaaaaak!”

Choi Yeon-ha waved her hands wildly towards the control room.

It was a sign to stop this damn ride immediately, but there was no way anyone could properly see her expression, as her face was covered with sunglasses and a mask. The operator, seeing her fiery and exaggerated movements, grabbed the microphone.

“Yes! We’re going up again! Have fun!”

“I’m going to kill you! I’m definitely going to kill you!”

Choi Yeon-ha started to cry at the end of the Viking, which was soaring into the air again.

Kang Jin-ho, who was sitting next to her, just sighed quietly.

“Save me, Jin-ho! Please save me!”

“…Just lower your head. It’ll be less scary if you don’t look.”

“Uwaaaa! I feel like I’m going to die!”

Kang Jin-ho silently pressed his hat down to cover her eyes.

Listening to the children’s shouts and Choi Yeon-ha’s screams, Kang Jin-ho looked at the distant sky.

‘It’s nice.’

The day was so clear.

“S-sister, please stop now.”

“We were wrong.”

“Sister, don’t die! Uwaaaaaaaah!”

Choi Yeon-ha was sitting on a bench with a face that had burned everything out, smiling.

‘The color seems a bit faded…’

She looked somehow lifeless. Compared to when he first saw her, it was like she had been slightly bleached?

It was like her brightness had faded a bit.

“I’m okay, kids.”

Choi Yeon-ha said in a soft voice.

“S-sister, come to your senses.”

“Sister’s character has become strange! Sister!”

The children were momentarily panicked by Choi Yeon-ha’s benevolent appearance.

‘No, how evil was she usually?’

Choi Yeon-ha had come to gain points, but she was only losing them.

“Who said they wanted to ride the roller coaster again? Let’s go. It’ll be fun… right?”

“Who was it?”

“Who said such a thing? Come out!”

Kang Jin-ho slowly shook his head as he watched the children, with their venomous faces, looking for the source of the outrageous remark.

‘It’s a mess.’

It’s a mess.
