Episode 113
What motivates us to open our hearts to others?
There may be many different cases, but in Dr. Jin’s case, the criteria were clear.
Someone who truly helps you.
And one who helps those he trusts.
In that sense, the four people in front of him were people that Dr. Jin could open his heart to.
This is because they are with ‘Cheon Hae-seon’, the person he trusts the most.
“hello.”
“nice to see you.”
Except for Maria, most of them were people I didn’t know very well.
And even Maria had round eyes, as if she had never expected to see Dr. Jin in a place like this.
“Please call me Dr. Jin.”
Dr. Jin pretended to be relaxed, but it had been a long time since he had exposed himself in front of so many people.
For someone with such paranoia, meeting so many people was a big deal in itself.
He stood in front of the steel table, correcting his pupils that were shaking due to anxiety and tension.
“Haeseon asked me a special favor the other day. “I want you to create devices for your colleagues.”
Then the eyes of four people flew in this direction and focused.
I just grinned.
“We analyzed your style and created a prototype. Although it still has some shortcomings, it is not without flaws. “The device won’t explode or anything.”
“Ugh… … !”
Bisu gets scared at the word explosion.
She looks at Cheon Hae-seon with eyes that ask, ‘Are you really okay?’
I slowly lifted both shoulders.
“first… … . Hmm. From Maria Hunter.”
Dr. Jin cleared his throat once before calling Maria.
It seems embarrassing to meet this old girl in a place like this.
However, Maria turned her gaze toward the device with a kind expression.
“This… … “Is it a belt?”
“That’s right.”
A very thin circular band.
A belt thinner than a little finger was placed in front of her.
“To call it a device… … too… … .”
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
Maria laughs brightly at my question.
“yes.”
“Because this one is made from the same material as this one.”
I raised my right hand and showed Frasel.
Then, not only Maria but all the ‘Irregular’ members’ eyes widened.
“print… … “Planium?”
“Where did you get this precious material…?” … ?!”
I answered to the members, ‘I have some stuff at home,’ and my colleagues were surprised once again.
The best material in existence that is said to be worth its price.
Even if you had a small amount of it, it would be surprising, but it would be hard to believe that you would have it stockpiled at home.
“Thank you so much, Hunter.”
Even Maria, who is not very interested in worldly things, greets me with an emotional face.
“You provide pranium for us… … .”
“You guys saved my life when I almost died. “It wouldn’t be a waste at all to give something other than Pranium.”
Everyone looked touched, especially Bisu, who even blushed as he scanned the table.
“If Maria is a belt, I guess this is it?!”
Bisu manages to find a small object and picks it up with his fingers.
Her judgment was correct.
Among our members, there were no people other than Maria and Bisu who could wear the Pranium ‘Earrings’.
“Didn’t you say earlier that you were anxious about the explosion?”
“With a color like this, it’s like a ticking time bomb. “I can’t stand this.”
“… … .”
I laughed bitterly, but didn’t really refute it.
The reason why pranium has become an extremely expensive item is because of its excellent durability, but it is also because of its unique color that shines brilliantly in five colors.
Looking at the dazzling brilliance of pranium, gold and diamonds looked like ‘miscellaneous metals.’
“ha ha ha. you’re right. “It’s a device made for Bisu sheep.”
Bisu literally jumps with joy at Dr. Jin’s words.
“oh! I hit the lottery today! Hehe.”
She is the type of person who fully expresses her emotions to the outside.
As they say, the type that can’t control their facial expressions.
As it became apparent how happy he was now, the bar on Dr. Jin’s heart was slowly loosening.
“They are not just earrings. Although it is small in shape, it is a Esper device designed with nanotechnology. You can think of it as a kind of ether amplifier. At first glance, the skill called ‘buff’ appears to be a targeting skill, but it is not. This is a technology that allows the ether you have to flow in a specific direction. “This device will help deliver the buff in the correct direction without loss of ether.”
“How… … Do you know buffs that well? “There is no such thing as Dr. Cheokcheok.”
Bisu stared at Dr. Jin with eyes filled with admiration, then quickly picked up the earrings and put them on both sides.
“wow… … .”

Kang Jeong-hyeon opens his mouth and takes in the beauty of Bisu.
Just as good clothes meet good hangers, Bisu’s appearance looked even brighter when he wore off-white earrings.
In particular, the red hair that brushed against the earrings harmonized with each other, giving an indescribable splendor.
“Hehe. I really like this?! “Even if I don’t have any special abilities, I want to wear it every day.”
“Thank goodness.”
Dr. Jin also looked satisfied when he saw that the device he created seemed to go well with Bisu.
“In Maria Hunter’s case, it may be a little uncomfortable to wear. Depending on your clothes, you may not need to wear a belt. “She revamped the material a little bit so it could reach her bare skin.”
In fact, it was so thin and light that it was almost impossible to wear.
Maria tried on the black suit pants she was wearing, and also took off her shirt and touched it against her bare skin.
“Kitchen… … .”
Kang Jeong-hyeon and Yuk Cheol-wan hastily turn their heads.
This is because Maria’s waist was clearly exposed as her shirt was pulled up.
When the device is worn on a white and slender waist like Snow White, it adjusts its size on its own to create the optimal condition.
“Are you okay? “There is no problem at all when moving.”
As she turns her body around with her shirt slightly lifted, part of her inner skin is revealed.
At this point, even Dr. Jin turned his gaze away from her ant waist.
“and… … . sister. “It’s really awesome.”
“It looks comfortable to wear, right?”
“no. “Not that one.”
“?”
“How come you don’t have any flab on your body? The skin is white and firm… … . “Isn’t it too foul?”
Bisu stroked Maria’s waist with his fingers as if he was truly jealous.
“Gah, it tickles…” … !”
Maria flinched and took a step back, causing her shirt to fall down her pants, and only then did Dr. Jin continue his explanation of the device.
“Maria Hunter’s device is basically for self-defense.”
“For self-defense?”
“yes. Needless to say, other knights also have a skill called stealth. However, Maria Hunter does not have any special self-defense skills, so she will be in danger every time. “We no longer operate as a large team like we used to.”
“ah… … .”
Maria seemed quite moved.
It is not the technical skills that refined Pranium, but his careful consideration.
Unlike scientists who simply focus on generating stronger power, Dr. Jin’s device was made with consideration for individual hunters.
As Dr. Jin said, Maria will be exposed to more danger than before.
Before that, special knights from the Glory Guild would have escorted her back, forth, left, and right, but now, at most, Yuk Cheol-wan will be responsible for her protection.
A device exclusively for Maria created to protect her body.
At first glance, it looks like a simple ornament, like the earrings worn by Bisu.
Maria couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked Dr. Jin.
“How does this work?”
“haha. There are no special devices or anything. “The algorithm built into this device will diagnose Maria Hunter’s heart rate and brain waves and respond automatically to crisis situations.”
“Wow… … .”
Maria’s mouth opens wide.
A device that reads the user’s thoughts and reacts.
It’s nothing new to me since I’m already using his luxury products, but it will be quite a shock to Maria.
Cutting-edge science that even the Glory Guild, which is said to be home to the most talented people, cannot even dare to tackle.
The crystallization of that science was all gathered here.
“Unfortunately, it cannot be recycled. When this device is activated, the built-in ether energy and pranium fragments are emitted in all directions. Of course, it won’t do as much damage to Maria Hunter as the tip of her hair, but it will be impossible to find the fragment.”
A one-time device that is activated only once in a desperate moment.
It was something that could literally be called a secret record.
“It must be something that should never be activated.”
I also nodded at Bisu’s words.
“that’s right. If that activates, it means that Maria is in great danger. “That shouldn’t happen.”
“no. “I’m not saying that.”
“Eh?”
“You don’t even have eyes! It goes so well with your sister’s thin ant waist! Is it really blinding? What a waste it would be for something like that to fall to pieces. “You have to wear it around your body for a thousand years, ten thousand years!”
“… … “Is that what you meant?”
While I was exchanging nonsense with Bisu, Dr. Jin turned his head in the other direction.
“After you… … “Would you like to come here?”
His eyes became warmer as he called out to someone.
At the end of Dr. Jin’s gaze, there was a man who was looking at him here and there.
Jeonghyun Kang.
The young man standing at the back of the group reluctantly took a step forward.
I stood next to Kang Jeong-hyeon and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
“are you okay. “You don’t have to worry.”
“yes yes.”
Just as Dr. Jin believed in me and agreed to meet with my colleagues, the same goes for Jeong-Hyeon Kang.
If I hadn’t explained Dr. Jin in detail, he would never have come here.
This is because he has suffered all his life under his father, a mad scientist, and wakes up immediately at the mere mention of the word science.
Kang Jeong-hyeon swallowed his saliva and walked towards the front of the steel table.
There was a pastel-colored silk cloth there.
“Hey… … . This is really beautiful too. Dr. Jin seems like a top-notch designer rather than a scientist.”
Dr. Jin’s voice rose a little higher, as if he was proud of Yuk Cheol-wan’s praise.
“That’s too much praise. I once heard a story about Jeonghyeon from Haeseon. “In Maria Hunter’s case, it was inevitable, but I thought that Jeong Hyeon needed something to use repeatedly.”
The result was a fiber-type device.
It was a replacement for the old bandage on his right arm.
Whirling.
What kind of mechanical device is contained in this fiber?
This guy(?) stuck to Kang Jeong-hyeon’s body as if it had a magnet.
“Ugh… … !”
Kang Jeong-hyeon flinched and took a step back, but nothing special happened.
Like the silk clothes worn by a rich master in the past, luxurious fabric was tightly wrapped around Kang Jeong-hyeon’s right arm.
“If you mention a keyword, the device will automatically go up. Would you like to say ‘activate’?”
“yes? Ah yes.”
Kang Jeong-hyeon’s face turns red.
Are you embarrassed?
No, rather the opposite.
How can something called genetic temperament be changed at will?
Curiosity about the science embedded in DNA is lifting Kang Jeong-hyeon’s spirit.
“bar… … Activate.”
Shurrrr.
When Kang Jeong-hyeon mentions the keyword, the textile device begins to dance like a snake’s tongue.
Soon the device rolled up near his shoulder and firmly fixed his body.
“There may be times when you summon a plant that is heavier than your body. In that case, it will also help you gain a sense of balance.”
“right… … wow… … .”
A morning star is visible inside Kang Jeong-hyeon’s small eyes.
He has been used and experimented on for a long time, but this must be his first time receiving the essence of science as a gift.
When I first met Dr. Jin, his eyes were full of caution, but now they had changed to those of an ardent follower.
“go… … thank you “Dr. Jin!!”
Kang Jeong-hyeon gives a folder greeting and then walks slowly to the corner.
Then, repeatedly shouting ‘activate’ and unlocking and closing the device.
We watched the warm sight in silence for a while.
“Now, next… … .”
Dr. Jin stares at Yuk Cheol-wan.
A man with a more earnest face than anyone else who has come here.
A man who feels despondent as if his world has collapsed after suffering a crushing defeat in a ranking match.
So on the one hand, he is a man who wants to become stronger than anyone else.
Looking at Yuk Cheol-wan with a solemn expression, Dr. Jin opened his mouth heavily.
“I would like to introduce the device that I put the most effort into.”
