The S-Classes That I Raised [EN]: Chapter 459

457. I’m Hospitalized, But (4)

“I can use search engines and dictionaries now, too.”

I was stuck sitting in bed, and when I said I’d name the Horned Fox while I had the chance, Moon Hyuna looked at me worriedly. But I had a tip from Yerim.

“She said it would help to look up names and word meanings that other people recommend.”

Sunghyunjae had helped when I named Gyeol, too. I turned on the tablet PC that Yerim had given me to play with when I was bored. There were a few games installed. She said most of them were easy puzzle games.

“I play this sometimes, too.”

“This? Candy Store PONG!?”

“I mostly use it to kill time when I’m waiting at board meetings or the Hunter Association.”

Curious, I turned it on and a story with subtitles flowed out against the backdrop of a colorful candy store. The candy store owner was trying to close the store due to old age, but a dog and a cat volunteered to run the candy store instead. But a terrifying ginger chocolate dragon stole all the candy, and the dog and cat chased after the dragon’s foul smell.

“The dog makes candy bombs and the cat summons mice to gather ingredients.”

“If you level up, you can make taffy machine guns and sweet potato jerky missiles.”

“Taffy is one thing, but why sweet potato? It’s not even candy.”

“Because the dog likes it?”

That made sense. When it was sweet potato season, dogs would get plump and visit the hospital. I opened an internet window and searched for pretty fox names… but there wouldn’t be any, so I searched for pretty cat names instead.

“Luna, Coco, Pepper, Milky.”

They were cute, but they didn’t suit the Horned Fox.

“She also said it would be good to look up word meanings. Since it’s a fox… fox…….”

Fox. In Chinese characters, it’s ‘Ho’ [狐]. There are a lot of fox dialects, too. Yeowi, Yeosu, Yeongwoo, Yeongi, Migu, Yusu, Yeokwae, Gaeyeo, Yagkwaengyi…….

“Hoyeo? Hosu? Hoya? Hogu [fool/sucker] is out. Horong, Horang.”

“Horong or Horang are cute. Horang is a name that might be confusing, though.”

“But isn’t it okay?”

I said, looking at Peace lying on the sofa and the Horned Fox lying in the same position under the sofa, glancing up at Peace.

“It’s Peace’s shadow. Peace is a Horned Lion and it’s a Horned Fox. But the name is Horang.”

Lion and tiger, aren’t they related? It’s like giving them names to put them side by side.

“What do you think, Horang. Rang.”

The Horned Fox was still just glancing at Peace. It probably didn’t understand that it was its name yet.

“People do grow.”

Hyuna said, impressed, saying it was a great development. Was there that much of a difference? Honestly, Bbyak and Horang seemed similar to me.

“Leafnil will have a hard time entering dungeons for a while, so I guess I should name it. The Water Buffalo is going to Haeyeon, so they’ll name it themselves. Pegasus went to Evelyn. Bare is from Minerva, they say.”

Moon Hyuna gave me a strange look at my words.

“One of her nicknames is Medusa.”

“Ah, because of her eyes? She doesn’t turn people to stone, though.”

Medusa turned people to stone, didn’t she? If she had that skill, it would be easy to attack dungeons.

“It’s just a sneaky rumor. Revealing special skills is a sensitive issue. You know, Pegasus was born from Medusa.”

“Really?”

“And Medusa was cursed by Athena, Minerva. The shield used to kill Medusa was Athena’s, too. But Pegasus’s name is Athena, so she’s really cunning.”

It was a name with a lot more complicated meaning than I thought. Was that why Sunghyunjae said she was mischievous?

“Do you have to call her cunning? She might have just named her after a goddess.”

It’s not a weird god, either. The goddess of war, they say.

“Hyuna, you really don’t like Evelyn, do you.”

“I told you, we don’t get along. It’s a matter of personality, personality. Sunghyunjae is dark inside, but Miller is a bit more persistently gray.”

Moon Hyuna shook her hand, saying she was an unpleasant type.

“Soyoung is the closest thing to a puppy in a pack of jackals.”

When she said puppy, a big golden retriever came to mind. There was definitely a big difference in image from the other two.

“I like nice kids. Like Soyoung or Chief Han.”

“Why me again.”

I haven’t lived that nicely.

“Why not, Chief Han is nice enough.”

Hyuna got up from her chair and sat down on the bed with a thud. Then she put her arm around my shoulder. The Changeling, who had been lying on my lap, raised his head and tilted it.

“You’re cute, too.”

“How old am I!”

I’m thirty inside. I need to explain this to Hyuna in detail. But it felt like Hyuna would just brush it off.

“I sometimes want to snatch you up and take you away. How about it, Chief Han? Will you come with me?”

“No, I’m not going anywhere…….”

Moon Hyuna smiled, crinkling her eyes.

“If you keep doing this, I’m going to get the wrong idea?”

“Wh, what.”

“Yerim is okay, but the siblings are a problem.”

…What is the problem, and why? Then Gyeol raised his body and flicked his tail. Peace on the sofa also came down and approached us. And soon the ringtone rang. I knew who it was without looking.

I opened the door with the remote control and Sunghyunjae came in. In his hand was chocolate milk… Huh? What is that, chocolate soy milk? Gyeol made a groaning sound and stuck his body to my side.

“Oh, did I come too early without noticing.”

Sunghyunjae said, putting the soy milk on the table. What did he not notice…….

“I interrupted a good time.”

Hyuna said, pulling me towards her. No, wait a minute.

“We were just naming the fox!”

“You’ve gotten a lot better, but let’s have me name our child, honey.”

His voice was so soft that my ears tickled.

“You already named Sorok yourself!”

“We have to see our second child, too. Huh?”

It’s, it’s about a monster, but I know, I know. Sunghyunjae approached the bed and Hangyeol groaned. Peace also jumped onto the bed and sat near my feet.

“As your one and only partner, I can’t lose. How about we start planning for our second child.”

“What, when did you have your first child? Comet?”

“Comet is Soyoung’s sweetheart. Our first child is─”

– No!

Gyeol screamed and Hyuna laughed loudly.

“I thought it was a baby dragon from somewhere.”

– No! Gyeol has nothing to do with that.

“Chief Han is so popular that it’s a problem. So who does our Chief Han like the most?”

“…Huh?”

“You know, what’s your ideal type? Someone who’s 2 meters tall, or something.”

I’m not into 2 meters. Even if I had an ideal type, well.

“I just like people who like me.”

“What, anyone? Really?”

“Not just anyone. Honestly, it’s a difficult condition to date or marry.”

Without money or other purposes, just pure affection.

“First of all, I have to stay with Yerim until she grows up, and Yuhyun might have to live with me forever. There are also a lot of monsters, and it’s also dangerous.”

I’ve been kidnapped several times. I’m the person involved, so I take it for granted, but if I were in their shoes, I’d be frustrated. …I suddenly feel sorry for the kids.

“How many people would accept all of that willingly.”

“But Chief Han doesn’t like that person, does he.”

“Well, that’s true. But it’s someone who accepts all of my flaws. Of course I’ll fall in love.”

How can I not like someone like that? I can’t help but fall in love naturally. Hyuna stared at me intently and said.

“Yerim and the siblings need to keep a close eye on you.”

“Yes?”

“If you get caught by the wrong person, you’ll give them everything and cry alone.”

“That won’t happen. I won’t be dating anyone in the first place.”

“Hyung, I love you.”

Moon Hyuna said seriously. My heart pounded.

“Ah, please stop making jokes like that. Peace, come here.”

I got out of Hyuna’s arms and hugged and stroked Peace.

“If it’s not a joke, will you come to me? Huh?”

“Well, if it’s not a joke, but it is a joke.”

Hyuna is a really good person, so she’s too good for me. Ah, really, it makes me think strange things. I said it would be nice if they liked me, but honestly, it would be nice to have someone I can rely on. Someone who is reliable.

What should I say, I want to be protected sometimes. I’m all grown up, but maybe it’s because I became independent too early. Sometimes. Just sometimes.

Hyuna is the best when it comes to being trustworthy, and I can help her in many ways, too. Yerim likes Hyuna, and Yuhyun would be okay with Hyuna…… But still, it’s too obvious that she’s just saying it.

“At this rate, Hanyujin’s face will get worn out.”

Sunghyunjae stopped Moon Hyuna, saying she was making him feel sorry for her. Hyuna got up and said to me kindly.

“Why do you think it’s a joke? Hyung is a really attractive person. So, like, like the person Hanyujin likes. It’s okay. Like Hyung said, the person Hyung likes will definitely love Hyung.”

“…Ah, that can’t be true.”

“Have confidence!”

Moon Hyuna patted my back lightly.

“And what if you get it wrong once or twice? There are plenty of people who will like Hyung!”

– That’s right, I like Dad, too.

“I like Hanyujin, too.”

– That’s not it. No way.

I was a little embarrassed. I cleared my throat a few times.

“Um, then Hyuna, you have to leave now, right?”

“I have to go since that human came.”

– Can’t Auntie stay longer? Instead of that.

The Changeling said with a desperate look. Why Auntie? Does he think Auntie is a term for older women than Dad?

“Oh my, you like Auntie? Sunghyunjae isn’t very popular with kids.”

“Soyoung liked him as soon as she saw him.”

“She was mistaken.”

“At the Children’s Day event last year─”

“He gave them a lot of gifts!”

Hyuna is denying it, but kids like handsome people, too. They might be a little scared because he’s too big.

“Ah, I know someone among the Hunters who are coming in with the Hamster Guild this time.”

“Really?”

“I don’t know her well, but I run into her sometimes when I go to English-speaking countries? Chloe Alger, a high-ranking Hunter, is a bit unique. And fun.”

…Huh.

“Hunter Chloe Alger? The one who’s about 2 meters tall?”

“You know her?”

Oh my god. Wait, wait. I raised my hand and stroked my cheek. It’s not rough.

“Is my skin damaged a lot? The water in China didn’t suit me… I had surgery, too.”

“Huh? You look fine?”

“I should have used the pack Yerim gave me. When is she coming? I’ll be fine if I put on makeup, right?”

“…Chief Han?”

“Hanyujin?”

Moon Hyuna and Sunghyunjae looked at me questioningly at the same time.

“Chief Han, was your ideal type really someone who’s 2 meters tall?”

“Was it not enough, even though I rounded it up to 2 meters.”

“I’m just a fan, a fan! I don’t know her, and I’ve never actually seen her. You know, through the screen. Like a celebrity.”

“Chloe does have a personal broadcast, but there aren’t any Korean subtitles yet. When did you become a fan?”

Of course, I saw her on TV, not on a personal broadcast. Before the regression. Moon Hyuna tilted her head and Sunghyunjae gave me a look of suspicion.

Moon Hyuna told me that it would take a few days for her to arrive due to monster-related procedures, and then left. Should I get some care from now on? Exercise, too. Ah, my leg. I was told to stay still for a while. My upper body, or my belly fat. It’s not sticking out much, but, um.

“You must have liked her a lot.”

I was patting my stomach for no reason when Sunghyunjae took out a pen from his inventory and said. Gyeol puffed out his cheeks and glared at Sunghyunjae as if he was watching him.

“It was my favorite program. It was like a survival in a dungeon. It was fun, but most of all, even low-ranking Hunters were treated as ordinary colleagues and treated without pretense. It might have been for the show, though.”

Still, it was comforting. Especially when the low-ranking Hunter explained and guided in detail about the dungeon he mainly attacked, she honestly admired him, saying he was amazing. High-ranking Hunters could just push through without needing that information, but she seriously looked into and tested ways to survive in mid- to low-level dungeons together.

“When she visited Korea, she also had a special feature inviting low-ranking Hunters. I applied, too. But I didn’t get in.”

It was a time when I was really sick of broadcasting, but I wanted to meet her. But if she’s coming to Korea now, is it because of the broadcasting equipment? Since you can’t film inside the dungeon yet. I should bring it up when I meet her.

Sunghyunjae wrote on the empty space of my leg cast.

[Always be healthy – A fan of Hanyujin]

What is that. He wrote it unnecessarily plausibly.

“What fan are you talking about.”

“Thanks to Hanyujin, I had a lot of fun in many ways. I also cherish you, so I can call myself a fan.”

Will you sign it, Sunghyunjae took out that damn photo card again. No thanks, really.

“More than that, has anything happened? It’s only been a day, but has anyone strange approached you?”

“No, of course not.”

I looked up at Sunghyunjae’s face intently. It didn’t seem like he was lying, but he could make any expression he wanted.

“You have to be honest. At least for a while.”

I heard that Chatterbox was aiming for me, so I’m really anxious. Of course, Sunghyunjae answered that he would, but the uneasiness didn’t go away easily.
