My Younger Brother is a Hero

“Then I’ll get going.”

“Already?”

“I don’t think there’s anything left to do here so I’ll go to another area to help.”

How much help would just one S-class Awakened person running around be? She was willing to act selfishly, but she still had a righteous side. That was probably why Hye-sun was trusted by her guild members.

“Then me too.”

Ga-jun also raised his hand and stepped back. He would have liked to stick around and claim a stake in the monster, but he knew it wouldn’t work.

Considering the cases so far, Two-eyed would join Hyeon-woo’s team, just like Spotty or Kero. Well, Two-eyed might change its mind and attack humans, but Hyeon-woo was by its side. Ga-jun knew Hyeon-woo’s strength.

‘Do monsters only gather around monsters?’

It was terrifying. Ga-jun followed Hye-sun and moved his body outside. If he walked a little further, there would be a car in decent shape, and they could leave together.

“Let’s go together.”

Ja-yun also joined them.

The ones left were Seon-woo, Do-jin, Hyeon-woo, and Chan-young. And there were only three foreigners. As the monster threat disappeared, the people who were standing far away slowly reapproached.

“We’d better move quickly, too.”

Do-jin said that and hugged Hyeon-woo.

“First of all, Hyung, please move with me.”

Seon-woo had to act like any other guild leader, but he was too anxious to leave his Hyung behind. Right now, the monster was staying still, but its behavior might change later on.

“Then I’ll go along too.”

Seon-woo did not reject him. Since he clearly felt the power of Two-eyed, he decided that two would be better than one.

“Can I follow you too?”

Ivan tried to sneak up on him.

“You mean without a price?”

“Looks like the whole country is in chaos, but I’ll give you my strength.”

Ivan tapped the interpreter device next to his ear and spoke. In addition to interpreting, it was also a communicator, so it seemed that he was listening to various things.

“Is that okay?”

“What can’t you do? Russia is a good friend of Korea.”

Shameless. But it was clear that it would be helpful to go together.

“I’ll go too.”

Leon also joined naturally. When the two joined, Junichi frowned and said,

“Then, I’ll help you too.”

Thinking of the relationship between Japan and Korea, it seemed like he would back down, but he seemed more curious about Two-eyed than national relations.

“Very well.”

Seon-woo did not refuse their help. It was right to use it if it was available.

“Then I’ll have to put some clothes on you first.”

Hyeon-woo said while looking at Two-eyed.

“Can’t you make clothes?”

“Not yet.”

“I see. Then wear this.”

He took off his jacket, but it was too small. It was only natural as he looked like he was over 2 meters tall.

“Can’t you reduce the height?”

“I can’t.”

This time, Do-jin stepped forward and took off his jacket. His clothes fit him better than he thought, probably because he was big. The problem was the bottom. It was covered by tying up a torn curtain that was rolling around.

“It looks strange.”

“I’ll ask someone to bring the clothes separately.”

Until then, it seemed that he would have to endure like this. Chan-young contacted the other guild members, and the rest of them walked a little and got into a car.

When he turned on the broadcast while sitting in the car, a public broadcast was played. Like all channels, it was telling the same story.

“Currently, gated portals have been opened simultaneously across the country. Citizens, please do not leave your home and lock the door tightly. If you are outside, please evacuate to the nearest shelter. We will repeat it.”

Still, the gate that exploded in the city center was easier to deal with. It was because the guilds were concentrated in the city center and people were dispatched quickly. The problem was in remote areas. Such places were far from guilds, and it was common that there were no Awakened waiting.

“The government supported it with helicopters.”

The government was also stepping up quickly, but it was difficult for the Awakened to step forward. Even if it were a flying monster, there wasn’t much they could do in the helicopter. In order to move by helicopter, it was necessary to use an Awakened, who was capable of long-range attacks.

“It’s going to be a long night.”

And so it was. That night, no one could sleep because of gate-type portals bursting here and there. By the time they managed to clear the urgent gates, a full day had passed.

“Just fuckin- Damnit!”

Hye-sun, whom he met once in the middle of moving, was swearing. No matter how strong an Awakened person was, there was a limit. But she fought all day long without sleeping, so it was only natural that she was exhausted. The problem was that it wasn’t over yet.

Perhaps because Korea was the first place where portals were opened, the number of Awakened people was large and strong comparatively. They all came forward and managed to prevent the situation from getting worse, but the released monsters were still roaming deep in the mountains.

Until everything was solved, she had no choice but to take a nap and keep running.

“From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem like this has happened in other countries.”

“Why is Korea the only one!”

“That’s right. Because of that, it seems that there is a lot of interest from foreign countries.”

“They were afraid that the same thing would happen to them.”

Hye-sun and Ga-jun exchanged information. He already knew Seon-woo, but that didn’t mean that talking with them wasn’t helpful.

“But there are also rumors ...”

In the meantime, Ja-yun suddenly intervened.

“Like what?”

“That these portal aren’t a spontaneous coincidence.”

The Yoram Guild was uniquely knowledgeable. The guild leaders’ faces crumpled at those words.

“There are a few eyewitnesses. He said he saw someone doing strange things when the portal was open.”

“Have you looked for information in the middle of this? How great.”

When Hye-sun exclaimed, Ja-yun grinned naturally.

“Isn’t it strange? We still haven’t clearly defined the criteria for opening the portal, but isn’t this a bit like that?”

“Right. By the way, Ji Seon-woo ssi. Where are the three foreigners that you were with?”

“I sent them to a nearby gate.”

“Wow and they didn’t want to stick around?”

“They can’t forever, can they?”

He moderately appeased them and sent them to the nearby gate. Having S-class Awakened people with this level of power flocking together was a waste in itself.

“Then what about that monster?”

Then, Seon-woo’s calm expression cracked. The monster, whose name was Two-eyed, was someone that his Hyung before he knew it.

“Still, it’s in human shape. Wouldn’t it be weird calling him Two-eyed?”

That was the reason.

“Because both his eyes are good.”

What was good about them? Every time Seon-woo looked into his eyes, his stomach was boiling with anger. It was the same with Do-jin who disapproved of him. It was because he had been attached to Hyeon-woo ever since he turned into a human.

“Hyeon-woo!”

He was calling his name like that when he was just a monster. The corner of Seon-woo’s mouth twitched. He didn’t like it in many ways.

“Then let’s get going.”

Even now, Two-eyed was with Hyeon-woo. Even though Do-jin was by his side, he couldn’t be relieved, so he didn’t have time to talk for a long time.

“Uuh, yes. Cheer up!”

After Hye-sun’s fight, Seon-woo parted ways and went back to the nearby barracks. Inside, Hyeon-woo was lying on Do-jin’s thigh. Spotty was sticking to him from the top of the car somehow.

Kero was fine, but Spotty was more attached to Hyeon-woo, perhaps because he was afraid of the newly appeared monster.

“Oh, you’re here?”

“Unn.”

“Where are we going next?”

“Gangwon-do Hangseong.”

“Another helicopter?”

“Unn. I’ll send it soon.”

“Then you should get some rest too.”

Hyeon-woo stood up and pulled Seon-woo’s hand. Then he tried to lay him down on the bed he was lying on. Seeing that, Do-jin naturally fell to the side at the sight. Seon-woo also had no intention of sleeping on Do-jin’s thigh.

“This is delicious!”

Then a familiar voice came from beside him. It was the new monster, Two-eyed. He was holding a large bag of cookies in his hand, which he was eating eagerly with greasy hands.

It was something that looked strangely pure. Still, he didn’t like him. Seon-woo moved to Hyeon-woo’s thigh and closed his eyes for a moment.

He felt better with the hand stroking his forehead.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t celebrate my birthday properly.”

“Yes.”

“It’s fine.”

“I’m not fine. All of a sudden, the portal was opened at a time like this.”

Hyeon-woo let out a small sigh.

“I’m satisfied with that as long as I’m with Hyung.”

“Still.”

“Or should we do it again when this is over?”

“That’s fine too.”

“Let’s go to sleep now.”

Hyeon-woo gently stroked Seon-woo’s eyes.
