Calibrating the NTR Drift in the Light Novel - MTL

After the series of commotions was resolved, I cleaned up the spilled items one by one, feeling the fishy taste of blood in my mouth.

After getting into a fist fight with the gangsters, I immediately started working as if nothing had happened without stopping, and Suyeon Choi was startled and came out of the counter to stop me.

"Senior! I'll sort it out, so you can take a break."

"No, you should get some rest. You must have been surprised by those bastards coming in droves and threatening you."

"No… Actually, I was more surprised to see my senior punching than them…"

"Hmm, sorry about that. But if we don't do this, those guys will come back with their gang…"

I cleared my throat and continued to clean the floor of the convenience store.

There were some that were in good condition, but the bags of some of the snacks had burst, and the contents had spilled out, so I picked them up with a dustpan and handed the empty snack bag to Suyeon Choi.

"I'm sorry, but please take a picture of this on the POS machine. I have to calculate it."

"You want me to calculate it myself?"

"Then I knocked it over, so I have to pay. Who pays?"

"… I'll calculate this. It was the Sunband that suppressed the rampage of those guys earlier, so it would be unfair to have to do this as well."

"No, but I-"

"No. Now, please hand me all the snack bags first. And hear, hear, ding, ding. And my card. Now, the payment is finished. I paid, so it's over."

Choi Su-yeon took a picture of the barcode and swiped the card.

Then he came out with a broom and dustpan and swept up the snacks next to me.

"I said I would do it."

"While you were suppressing those guys, I couldn't do anything and just scream. I also have a part-time job. So, I will do the same."

After that, we cleaned the floor in silence for a while.

After putting away all the spilled snacks and finishing mopping, we both returned to the counter and sat side by side.

There was a slightly awkward silence, and I was the one who broke it.

"Now those kids won't come to smoke."

"You're not coming?"

"To be exact, I 'can't' come. I scared anyone who comes here to smoke a cigarette and die. As long as I work, I won't have to suffer from the swindlers trying to smoke a cigarette in the future."

"What were you going to do if those guys actually reported it?"

Suyeon Choi asked with a worried expression.

Because my suppression was quite extreme.

"It's okay. They have proof of their actions, and I bluffed in self-defense, so I can't act carelessly even if I'm scared of going to juvenile detention center. Even if I tell you, he's a third-year student at Centipede Academy, and he's no good for me."

Kang Baek-san, the guy those first-year bullies mentioned.

Eunbong Industrial Higher Education Academy, Eunbong High School for short. He is the king of the Iljin group and is called Eunbong Tong. He is a famous gangster in the nearby area, but the fact that even that guy fought and lost with me, Han Seong-jin, remained in my memory.

This is a part where you can see how infamous Han Seong-jin is.

It's a pathetic achievement in the world, but to the idiots like before who treat adult words like shit, an older brother who is 2 years older than an adult who is 20 years older is more scary.

If they find out that Eunbongtong, whom they worship like a god, has already been taken care of by me, they will be too scared to even come near here.

"Sir, you were a scarier person than I thought."

Suyeon Choi's eyes look wary.

I clicked my tongue and sat back against the cigarette display.

"Tsk, I didn't want to do this anymore, so I worked part-time and tried to live a healthy life, but as soon as I started working, these guys started to get into trouble. I'm sorry to you.

"… Thank you, though."

"Thank you?"

"There have been many times like this before. When I had a previous part-time job, when kids like that came, the two of us would tremble and ring the wireless emergency bell, but the police would be late, and kids like that would curse, scream, and throw things over before the police arrived… You don't know how scared I really was back then. .

Even when I had a manager, it wasn't much of a difference because he couldn't touch me… But when I saw him do that earlier, I was scared, but I felt a bit relieved inside."

"What is it? Is this what you wanted to beat up if you could?"

"Well?"

Suyeon Choi stretched her arms upwards and to both sides, probably to relieve her tension.

"Anyway, thank you for helping me, even if the means were a bit rough. I also owe you a debt of gratitude to my senior for preventing such kids from coming in the future… Huh?!"

Choi Soo-yeon was suddenly startled and started to panic.

"Why are you so surprised all of a sudden… Huh?"

As I spoke, I realized the reason at the same time.

Something in his mouth was out of my control and ran down the corner of his mouth and down his chin.

I felt the fishy taste remaining in my mouth getting stronger, so I wiped the liquid running down my chin with my hand.

Choi Soo-yeon, seeing the red liquid on his hand, was startled and started to panic.

"Aaaaah! Senior, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding! Toilet paper, toilet paper… Miss, what is it?! Why isn't there?! Hey, at least wipe it with this!"

Choi Su-yeon, who saw that the toilet paper that was always in stock had run out, took out a handkerchief from her bag and put it to her mouth.

In a hurry, I took Choi Su-yeon's handkerchief and wiped the blood flowing from the corner of my mouth.

Seeing me wiping away the blood, Suyeon Choi looked at me with a mixture of worry and anxiety.

When the blood stopped flowing, I took the handkerchief off my mouth and waved my hand as if it was no big deal.

"It's just that I bit my cheek, and it's bleeding because I got hit earlier. It's nothing special, so don't look at it like that."

"No, but…"

"What's wrong with me not being able to do anything while all this fuss was going on?"

Nod.

Instead of answering, Soo-yeon Choi nodded eagerly.

"Then, please escort me to the date course rehearsal on Friday."

"Ah… Are you really going to take me with you?"

"Instead of pretending to be my girlfriend at next week's meeting, you said you would plan a date for me?"

"Yes, that's right. I did, but… Haha… Okay."

"Why do you say you don't want to do this? Then you can just comfortably pretend to be my girlfriend-"

"It was a sigh of worry about how to plan a course!"

________

After the uproar, fortunately, my part-time job passed without much fuss.

Throughout her work, Choi Soo-yeon couldn't get the sight of Han Seong-jin overpowering her bully boys out of her mind.

A violent, barbaric and extremely primitive method.

She didn't like that kind of typical stand-up behavior, and she never harbored any illusions.

But why did she think Han Seong-jin was cool while she was watching it?

Is it because it is a prescription for extreme medication to save yourself from trouble? Or is it because she outwardly associates with her fellow students, and she gets into that situation without even realizing it?

When she couldn't figure out why she thought Han Seong-jin fighting earlier was a little cool, she spoke to her.

"Oh, Choi Su-yeon. That's the handkerchief I gave you earlier."

"Yes?"

"I'll take it home, wash it, and return it to you."

"Ah… You don't have to give it back."

"Is it because I put it in my mouth that I don't even want it back? That's too much."

"No, I didn't mean that…! Oh, okay, then wash it and return it! You're turning a real person into some kind of strange person."

Choi Su-yeon, who had accepted Han Seong-jin's joke, was sticking out her lips, but suddenly her thoughts wandered somewhere else.

'… But did this senior always have this playful personality?'

I have never met Han Seong-jin in person and only knew his face through photos.

The only thing I heard about him was rumors through his friends.

And the content of the rumor was truly absurd.

He said that he took three girls and formed a foursome, that he got into a gang fight with other academy members and won and then took the girls from that academy as trophies, that he got into a fight with a college student, and that he used the money he stole from his subordinates to run the club. I went to…

According to the rumors, he was a type of horse that was not worthy of being treated as a human being, and I thought that such a person could not have even the slightest humanity, let alone courtesy.

However, Han Seong-jin, who she started working with yesterday, was very different from what she expected.

As you can see in the photo, her impression was extremely harsh, but her attitude toward the convenience store manager was quite polite.

She was quite diligent in learning to work at a convenience store, and surprisingly, she adapted to the job very quickly, so much so that there was nothing more to teach her the day she started working.

Even though she was strong, she did not limit the work to herself, and she did her work diligently.

When he knocked down the gangsters one by one with one punch, I thought he was just as human as I first thought, but he never used more violence than was necessary.

Perhaps out of consideration for himself, he took steps to prevent future customers from coming to the convenience store to smoke, and even apologized, saying he was sorry for surprising them.

If you think about it, Han Seong-jin didn't do anything wrong in the first place.

'I really don't know. He's a strange person.'

It was still difficult to know what he was thinking, but Choi Soo-yeon thought that Han Seong-jin was not as depraved as she thought.

'Still, I'm not the type that you want to be involved with for a long time… I'll just introduce a course on Friday and take care of what I need to take care of.'
