Scene shift
Cha Yeon-ah continued to eat while half wearing her mask. Earlier, when Mi-woo asked her, she refused, saying:
"It may not be now, but we should wait. Wearing this mask in 45 minutes will give an indication."
Mi-woo not only had a strong body but also fast regeneration. He might even be poison resistant. He didn't know that for sure.
When Mi-woo was at the womb stage, he was infected with another-dimensional disease. His father had just started his restaurant and was earning fine when his mother began coughing blood. Afraid, he took her to a doctor who was a well-known awakened obstetrician-gynecologist.
"I am sorry, but… you must take an abortion. Your baby is also an awakener, and the disease he is infected with is decaying all the tissue in his body. If you don't take action, your wife might also be in danger of infection."
The young couple, who was just about to have their first baby, broke down in tears. That night when they returned home, Mi-woo's mother started healing her stomach for five hours straight. His father slept in the hall that night.
In the morning, when he returned to the bedroom, he was shocked. He saw his wife collapsed from mana deficiency.
Using his awakened power, Divine Chef, he could make food comparable to high-grade potions.
When she came to her senses, they went back to the doctor. As he rechecked, he found the baby was perfectly fine, so there was no need for abortion.
The young couple was overjoyed with happiness. When they returned home, she told Mi-woo's father all about the healing she did. They were happy.
Eight days later, she coughed blood again.
The disease never cured, instead it was just suppressed. Now they had two options: first, abortion.
And second, continuous healing until the baby was born.
…Eight months later, Mi-woo was born.
Both of them, until the day he was born, only slept six hours total. For eighteen hours, his father made food for his mother to replenish her mana, and she healed herself over and over again.
The result: Mi-woo was born healthy and stronger than other kids, and their hard work paid off.
This is way too awkward a situation for me. I didn't know… and why is her voice so familiar? Just who is she?
It might be impatient of me, but I must ask.
"Hey, miss, who are you, by the way?"
It was a sudden question for Cha Yeon-ah. It's not like she wanted to hide anything, but. considering. the situation they were in, she thought it would be best not to reveal her identity. But. having the mask on—even if she revealed her real name, he wouldn't be able to figure out her identity. Many people had similar names, after all.
"My name is Cha Yeon-ah. I am an aspiring hunter. Just a few days ago, I got my license."
That's all normal, right? People share their names. I tried to be a bit informal… did I do that right?
Oh, so she is an aspiring hunter. And the same name as her… must be a coincidence.
Before he could think further, she said:
"Isn't it common to also introduce yourself after asking others?"
Wait, wait, wait, wait… what was that?
